Chapter 1113 The second confrontation with Zhang Yimou, take over!
How disgusting!
At noon domestic time, Luo Jin, who is far away in Morocco, updated his Weibo, wishing his birthday and spreading dog food online at the same time.
It seems that the intensity of the navy training is far from enough, so that this guy can actually get out of bed and "desert" at four o'clock in the morning local time!
Many acquaintances in the industry, including Lin Nan, Liu Yifei, and Zhu Yawen, decisively liked Guo Fan, Lu Yang, Hai Zheng and the official account of "Operation Red Sea" with very "yin and yang weird" words. ”:
"It is recommended that the crew give Luo Jin an extra 'burden' to avoid being distracted while working and affecting the training effect."
The Internet became lively, but compared to the netizens giving Luo Jin Jin and Tang Yan received a lot of blessings, but the leader's big baby was not welcomed by others.
No, "Lonely Beauty Does Not Admire Yourself" will be broadcast on the 2nd of next month.
As the heroine, the interview video of the interview show that Yang Ying participated in for the promotion of the TV series appeared online at around 12 noon along with the promotional materials.
Her brazen and high-profile remarks caused an uproar on the entire Internet in the afternoon.
Voices of support, complaints, boos, curses... all over Weibo and various social media, so that the entire film and television industry was affected for the Nth time and was scolded.
The reason was that the host asked her a question, that is, why she was able to get a sky-high salary of RMB 80 million in the costume drama "Lonely Love", ranking the highest among all actors in the cast. one.
After hearing this question, Yang Ying answered with a very serious, serious and slightly angry expression:
"You only saw me eight thousand The salary was 10,000 yuan, but did you see how hard I worked on memorizing my lines on set? You never mention this or report this.
Acting is a profession, and film and television works are art. There are many delicate and soft things that need to be accumulated and polished, and it cannot be achieved with passionate brute force. It can be accomplished; in other words, you can't perform well just by working hard
No one is perfect, and no actor is perfect. If you gain, you will lose. And I'm very lucky. Although my acting skills may be a bit immature, God has given me such an appearance, so I should be worthy of something; for example, this salary, I deserve it..."
Let's not mention it for now. Whether netizens have broken their guard or not, many veteran actors and actresses in the industry have broken their guard anyway.
Many first-line actors with guaranteed ratings also have an unbalanced mentality. One of their dramas only costs 20 to 30 million yuan.
We don’t dare to compare ourselves to top-tier actors and stars such as Zhou Xun and Fan Bingbing, but it’s really embarrassing to be stepped on by such a “thing”. Frustrated.
This is indeed in compliance with the rules of the market. First-line stars earn much more than first-line actors, and this is in the profession of actors
I have to say that this is indeed ironic, but also very realistic. But Yang Ying's situation is another matter, because she really has no acting skills at all.
Even if she has a good role, she won't have so many people "disgusted" and scolding her now when she speaks in such a "shameless" way and is completely out of her mind!
This is no longer a problem that can be explained by "one pregnancy for three years". She thinks so from the bottom of her heart, that is: her face is worth 80 million.
There has been so much gossip lately that Lin Nan is full at home. In the afternoon, he looked at Liu Yifei for a long time.
Then Liu Qianqian rolled her eyes and teased: "What, you still want to give me a price for this face?"
Yeah, I can't afford to offend him, I really can't afford to offend him.
Lin Nan was puzzled. He didn't know when he started to have no secrets in front of Liu Yifei's eyes. It's like a customized version of the dazzling eyes, just defeat him!
Thinking about it hard, it seems that this situation can be traced back to the time in school, right?
It has been such a long time ago that Lin Nan, a great director, was confused for a while: Who was the hunter and who was the prey at that time?
……
On the morning of the 7th, the box office information of "Operation Mekong" was still at the top of the hot search list.
Yesterday, the daily revenue was 122 million, and the total box office reached 1.761 billion; this data is terrifying, and the industry continues to curse.
However, this piece of movie information only stayed at the top of the hot search list for less than half an hour, and was then washed away by the news wave of "The Great Wall".
A Sino-US co-production with an investment of US$150 million, a masterpiece of action, adventure, fantasy, and special effects; it is also the most "expensive" movie that Zhang Yimou has directed in his decades of filmmaking!
If there is anyone who is more nervous and excited than Zhang Yimou, it is undoubtedly La Peikang, because this is a movie that he believes will produce "results".
As for the most emotional person, it is naturally Chen Kaige. From the beginning to the end, he was resentful that Zhang Yimou could direct such an international blockbuster.
After all, he was the "little brother" who used to carry the camera for him, but in recent years, he has come closer to him step by step, even half a body ahead - that time 8 years ago!
Outside the General Assembly Hall at eight o'clock in the morning, in terms of popularity, it was not inferior to the premiere of "Operation Mekong" two weeks ago; in terms of size and pomp, it was even more popular.
Who makes the nature of the two movies different? "Operation Mekong" is the main theme and should not be too fancy or extravagant.
Back to the topic, compared with two weeks ago, there were obviously a lot more foreign media on the red carpet this morning, and foreigner faces could be seen everywhere.
All the big names and celebrities in the Chinese film industry, especially the big directors in the directing circle, came without exception. Even directors from Hong Kong and Taiwan such as Wang Jiawei appeared on the red carpet.
"La Peikang is so embarrassed today. I'm afraid he has been waiting for today this year, right?"
Ren Zhonglun, Han Sanping and Han Jianu walked on the red carpet together, Under countless shots, he was teasing in a low voice, smiling and waving.
"Well, that's right. Didn't you see the state he was in just now? He was radiant and energetic." Han Sanping added and started joking.
“Hey, when Uncle La walked on the red carpet with people from around the world just now, he was as agile as a young man in his twenties, not to mention more ‘young’.”
"Have you ever said that to your elders?" Han Sanping criticized helplessly, but it was completely useless. She was a girl who never obeyed!
"There's nothing wrong with what the beautiful girl said, hahaha."
"Look, Uncle Ren thinks so too."
Lin Nan held Liu Yifei's hand, When he helped her out of the car, Zhang Yimou's family of seven had disappeared at the end of the red carpet.
Matt Damon, Jing Tian, Pedro Pascal, Willem Dafoe, Andy Lau, Zhang Hanyu, Lu Han, Peng Yuyan and other crew members have also walked through half of the red carpet.
"Is it cold? You have to wear a skirt. There is no heating in this area."
Lin Nan glanced at Liu Yifei's smooth arms and said angrily. On such a cold day, what kind of dress should I wear? It should be sleeveless.
"Just wait until you enter the Great Hall. It's not cold inside, so hurry up and leave."
Liu Yifei whispered back impatiently. Actresses and female celebrities are different from ordinary women when it comes to carrying the cold. The former group is quite tenacious.
Stepping onto the red carpet, the two complemented each other perfectly, and the shouts from the side suddenly more than doubled.
Ten seconds later, the smile on Lin Nan's face froze for a moment, because he clearly heard someone calling Liu Yifei - "wife"!
Damn it!
Miss Liu just smiled and bent over, holding Lin Nan's arm, and kept glancing at him playfully, "Hehe..."
"Why are you laughing? What's there? Funny?”
“Your reaction is funny, hehe.”
"Director Lin, "The Great Wall" is about to be released. Are you sure that "Operation Mekong" will kill it? We are almost 2 billion now." At this time, a familiar media reporter suddenly shouted at Lin Nan and Liu Yifei There was a sound.
Lin Nan didn't even think about it, and replied with emotion: "Do it!"
As a result, both sides of the red carpet exploded. The first key gossip material this morning has appeared, thank you Director Lin.
......
The golden hall can no longer be said to be crowded, it is simply overcrowded. As soon as Lin Nan and Liu Yifei entered, they were noticed by many people. Matt even said hello from a distance and came over with a smile.
"Lin, Crystal, it's been a long time no see. You didn't go to Hollywood during this year's awards season."
"Matt, we are very busy. I have two movies next. Oh. By the way, the second part will probably be in Shooting in May or June next year, remember to leave a schedule, you promised me."
Lin Nan's voice was not deliberately amplified, but it was "deafening" in the ears of many people around. : Will Matt Damon star in "The Wandering Earth"?
“Don’t worry, I will be on vacation for the first half of next year.”
Not long after, Lin Nan and Liu Yifei found a team of acquaintances.
The former is naturally mixed with Han Sanping and others, and the latter undoubtedly has his own small group: Shu Chang, Han Jianu, Reba, Tang Yan, Xie Nan...
" Li An and Wang Jiawei all came here today, which I didn’t expect at all.”
“China Film Group sent invitations to several people. Can it be rejected? Moreover, there are Hollywood investors involved in this movie. Look, Huanxi, Huayi, and Bona are all hanging around in front of the people of Universal."
Ren Zhonglun laughed. He gestured, and sure enough, he saw Dong Ping, Wang Zhonglei, Yu Dong, and Zhang Qiang, several capitals in the domestic film and television industry, chatting and laughing around a few foreigners.
Lin Nan was not very interested in this. He turned his attention to Zhang Zhao from LeTV. As one of the producers, the latter seemed a bit "lonely"?
“I remember that when “The Great Wall” was officially launched at the end of last year and “The Great Wall” was officially launched at the beginning of last year, LeTV was in the spotlight for a while. As a result, look at today, everyone is avoiding Zhang Zhao like the god of plague. ."
"Seeing When he got up from Zhulou, he was entertaining guests, and then he saw that the building was about to collapse. Isn’t that what happens in the film and television industry? "
Han Sanping The old god sighed with emotion, and the people around him were immediately speechless. Everyone has a tacit understanding that the LeTV building will collapse. This is the general trend.
The free social time in the Golden Hall lasted until 9:30 in the morning.
It wasn't until the host asked everyone to take a seat through the microphone that everyone followed their seats and sat down in an orderly manner.
Lin Nan and Liu Yifei were in the second row, surrounded by acquaintances. Mr. and Mrs. Jiang Wen, Mr. and Mrs. Ning Hao, Mr. and Mrs. Chen Kaige, as well as Zhang Yimou’s wife and daughter...
In front, Director Zhang led a large group of actors on stage, and it seemed that there were many unknown ones. There are new faces. But they are all minor supporting roles, brought in by major capital and connections.
“I’m very grateful to all my colleagues in the industry for coming to the Asian premiere of “The Great Wall” today.
This is my first fantasy special effects blockbuster in decades of filmmaking, and it’s also in China It is a co-production film with elements; it is also the first time to fully understand and use the production model of Hollywood industrial films..."
Lao Mouzi talked eloquently on it, followed by a group of core creators. Matt Damon is followed by Jing Tian, who is the most core member of the Chinese cast. He is rigorous in his words and relaxed in a certain way, which is very good.
At ten o'clock in the morning, the movie premiere officially started, and everyone put on the glasses distributed in advance.
Lin Nan was very satisfied with the color of the first scene in the opening scene; he had nothing to say. This was Zhang Yimou’s strength.
As the plot unfolds, the picture becomes more and more magnificent, the lens feels extremely full, and the visual effects are very enjoyable.
When "Taotie" officially debuted, everyone nodded unconsciously. The quality of the special effects was almost perfect, worthy of the production cost of 150 million US dollars.
When the "Taotie" army filled the entire screen, the guests were already in awe. The visual effects under the IMAX3D giant screen are shocking, and the special effects shots can directly give full marks.
"Hey." Lin Nan couldn't help but sigh.
"Why are you sighing? I think this movie is very good!" Liu Yifei put on Lin Nan's suit jacket and looked at him doubtfully.
“Just looking at the movie content and visual effects, it is definitely qualified.
The operation, which is similar to using people to 'make a nest', is just to prevent Taotie from climbing up the Great Wall. It is difficult to deal with, so we must try our best to kill and maim them down there...
But... Director Zhang really tried his best. In terms of film quality, I think it's quite good.
But more often than not, the feedback from the film market is not only determined by the quality of the film. Many external things and objective factors will seriously affect the reputation and performance of the film..."
"What about? "Liu Yifei asked.
"For example, it should not be called "The Great Wall"; for example, it should not let a few foreigners come to the "Great Wall" to save the Chinese people.
This is the biggest weakness of this co-production film, it hurts 'national self-esteem'! Ordinary people are often more sensitive in this regard than above.
Therefore, this is also a point that is destined to be criticized and reviled by viewers and netizens. As for other aspects of the movie, generally speaking, its flaws outweigh its flaws. "
Hearing this, Liu Yifei frowned slightly. She only focused on watching the movie and didn't think much about anything other than the movie.
At around 11:40, the movie ended. In Amidst the overwhelming applause, Zhang Yimou took the core actors on stage again, this time with La Peikang.
The latter, with a smile on his face, was the first to speak: "No need for friends from the media to ask. I'll say it directly. For "The Great Wall", our domestic box office expectation is 3 billion, and it starts at 3 billion. ”
As the words fell, the applause from the scene became even more deafening.
Zhang Yimou, Jing Tian and others all had smiles on their faces, as if what La Peikang said would definitely come true. Of course, they are really confident in the quality of the movie.
"Director Zhang, as La Dong said, the biggest rival of "The Great Wall" in the Lunar New Year season should be "Operation Mekong" directed by Lin Nan.
The latter lasted for 9 days. It has already grossed 1.761 billion in box office, what do you have to say about this? This seems to be the second time that the two directors have competed in the same period!"
The reporter's question made hundreds of people at the scene. Everyone looked at Lin Nan in the second row. The first confrontation between the two was "Return" and "The Invisible Guest".
Zhang Yimou raised the microphone, glanced at Lin Nan, and then said and laughed rarely:
"Although the two movies are 18 days apart, looking at the daily box office performance of "Operation Mekong", there will indeed be a fierce conflict with "The Great Wall".
But fortunately, each other is exhausted, and "The Great Wall" It is a big-budget special effects blockbuster in the true sense, and we will be merciful when the time comes."
Good guys, after saying these words, the atmosphere on the scene reached a climax. This is the first time Director Zhang Da has spoken to the public. Speak!
Lin Nan and Liu Yifei looked at each other, both of them smiled helplessly.
“Lin Nan?”
Yes, Zhang Yimou above started to interact and clicked Lin Nan's name. The eyes of everyone in the golden hall gathered in response.
Ning Hao, Han Sanping, Ren Zhonglun, Wang Yong, Han Jianu... a group of people all had sly eyes, and it was not a big deal to watch the fun.
Only Liu Yifei whispered in a low voice, "I support you, take the move!"
Okay, some reporters have already rushed to the front row impatiently, and Zhang Hongsen is also joining in the fun. Helpfully handed the microphone to Lin Nan.
Taking the microphone, Lin Nan coughed, and then said with a serious smile:
"When Yifei and I walked on the red carpet, some media friends asked me this question. I have already given the answer, that is: do it!
So, there is no need for " "The Great Wall" will be merciful, because "Operation Mekong" will be cruel to "The Great Wall", thank you, haha..."
Lin Nan's words fell to the ground, and the audience burst into laughter.
