Chapter 475 Not stupid but sweet Liu Qianqian
On June 23, when "Infinite World" was in its third week of release in North America.
The premiere is also going to be held in China, and it is scheduled to premiere online on Friday, June 24th.
In terms of Beautiful Country, after three weeks of "Infinite World", the box office has reached 370 million, and it may eventually stop at around 400 million.
The summer schedule of "Beautiful Country" changes so quickly that by the third and fourth weeks, the box office can hardly rise.
Domestically, China Film Group hardly put any difficulties on this film, and had already decided on the introduction process early on.
It’s just that this year’s summer season in the Mainland includes several Hollywood blockbusters.
You really need to think more about the schedule, and don't let it happen with other blockbusters.
At this time in the summer, there are not only Hollywood blockbusters, but also a very important film called "The Founding of the Party."
Huaying wants to recreate the glory of "The Founding of the People's Republic of China".
With the surge in the number of theaters this year, Huaying also has higher expectations.
Some theater chains below even directly shouted the slogan of hitting 800 million.
For this reason, the guarantee period is also a top priority.
The earliest reservation was originally for June 15th, but considering that "Infinite World" will also be released in China.
Therefore, it was moved forward and released on the 10th.
Exactly two weeks later, leaving a portion of the market for Infinite World.
As for "The Great Cause of Party Building", although China Film News has great expectations.
It directly earned 100 million box office in the first weekend.
But it obviously lacks stamina. By the end of the second week, it had only just exceeded 200 million, which obviously lacks stamina.
No way, it seems that this method of accumulating stars cannot be used more often.
Audiences will also become immune.
Therefore, now it is no longer "reserving a part of the market", but giving up most of the film schedule.
After all, "Infinite World" was also invested by Huaying. Not only is it a biological film, it can also be regarded as an adopted relative and has a blood relationship.
China Film Studio paid great attention to the premiere, because Disney in Hollywood directly filmed all the important creators except Emma Watson.
Emma needs to participate in the early promotion of "Harry Potter" and she really can't leave.
She also specifically complained to Chen Linfeng on the phone.
Chen Linfeng looked at Liu Qianqian, who was sitting next to him with a calm and emotionless expression, and was stunned and did not dare to say a few more words.
However, although the premiere was important, Chen Linfeng was unable to attend.
Liu Qianqian can only be allowed to participate.
"Inception" has reached a critical moment.
A long hotel corridor that can roll is placed in Studio 2, which looks spectacular.
Chen Linfeng is planning to take advantage of his good condition to finish filming in succession.
Zhang Yimou, Jiang Wen, and Chen Kaige are all here. They have been waiting to see this part for a long time.
Chen Kaige praised, "Xiao Chen, you are really generous."
"Yes," Jiang Wen gave a thumbs up, "You are really smart. When shooting weightless shots, people are not easy to control, so you just try to adjust the surrounding reference objects. I have never seen anything like this before, and I have never heard of it. Heard it.”
Chen Linfeng chuckled and didn't take any credit for it. This was the old wisdom of Nolan from the previous life.
He looked at Shi Xiaolong, who had already hung up the wire.
Now in this scene, he is the absolute protagonist.
Chen Linfeng made sure that everyone else was ready and ordered, "Get ready to start."
In the evening, Liu Qianqian attended the domestic premiere of "Infinite World".
There are many celebrities in the industry joining in the fun.
Many of them are directed at Bruckheimer and the Russo brothers.
When Liu Qianqian arrived, Han Shanping and Bruckheimer were chatting about something, and several people gathered around them.
On the other side, Anthony Russell was surrounded by several people.
She took a quick look and saw that Chen Kun, Huang Xiaoming, Yao Chen, Feng Shaofeng, Wen Zhang, Wang Luodan and others were all there.
There are also several film company bosses there.
Liu Qianqian did not move up, but just looked around to see if there were any friends with whom she had good relations.
But if she doesn't join the crowd, others will want to come to her.
This is the leading star in the industry today, so it is always a good idea to make friends with him.
Going back and forth, many people came to say hello.
After a while, Fan Binbin and Li Binbin entered the field one after another.
Liu Qianqian was not far from the door, so she happened to bump into her.
The people around them are very discerning and fight with gods, so they consciously stay away.
In fact, there is no such thing as magic fighting skills for a long time.
Sidan Shuangbing has already widened the gap between him and that unique immortal.
And almost none of them have taken on a few dramas in the country.
The few domestic dramas are all written by Director Chen, which by default are their resources and have nothing to do with them.
Therefore, there is no competition at all
Si Dan Shuang Bing knew this in his heart.
No matter how aggrieved I feel, I have to admit this fact.
Therefore, since the end of last year, Sidan Shuangbing has a tacit understanding and has made changes in its attitude towards Liu Qianqian.
Change from confrontation to friendly relationship.
Of course, they themselves are still fighting.
This is evident from various drafts.
In the report, these six people are still comparing and suppressing each other, but there is a lot less comparison with Liu Qianqian.
Fan Binbin arrived first. She smiled and greeted Liu Qianqian, "Qianxi, long time no see. You are getting more and more beautiful now."
Liu Qianqian followed the sound, and then said humbly, "No way, I think Teacher Fan is getting more and more beautiful."
The two of them complimented each other on their looks and completely forgot about the "glorious" drafts in the past.
Li Binbin came a minute or two late.
Seeing Liu Qianqian (Fan Binbin turned a blind eye automatically), she had mixed emotions.
After trying every possible means, I finally entered Hollywood through Ms. Deng Wendi, but I saw that someone had already become famous there.
This mentality is too difficult to break.
The other party has made several hits in a row, and if nothing else, at least he has become familiar to European and American audiences.
Not only that, Zhao Yingkong's role will increase in the second two parts of "Infinite World".
"Your Name" may have exceeded 20 billion yen in Neon. The public doesn't know, but the industry has heard about it.
In "The Walking Dead", he plays a key role, and his character design is so good, he is not a flower vase type.
These kinds of achievements are really enviable.
"Sissi, I haven't seen you for a while."
"Ah, Teacher Li, I heard that you recently accepted a movie from Fox, which is great."
It is said to be Fox, but it is actually an independent film company owned by Fox.
But Liu Qianqian is not stupid, so she naturally takes it seriously.
Li Binbin smiled extremely brightly, "You have also heard about Sissi. She is currently promoting in China, but she can't compare to you. She has many movies with hundreds of millions of dollars in box office.
Also, let’s not be so quarrelsome, just call me Binbin. ”
"Ha!" Fan Binbin next to him sneered.
It’s all Binbin. When the time comes, should I call you or me.
Liu Qianqian smiled and said nothing, sighing in her heart, "How did these two people get together? Xixi, you are confused, you should leave earlier."
Li Binbin seemed not to hear anything at all, and continued talking to Liu Qianqian without even looking at Fan Binbin.
She said "Ah" as if she was remembering something, "Sissi, when I came here, Ms. Deng Wendi even mentioned you specifically and asked me to invite you on her behalf and come out to hang out together when we have time. If you agree, Let’s just find a time to make an appointment.”
When talking about this, Li Binbin also raised his voice a little bit.
Fan Binbin heard clearly and couldn't help but bite his silver teeth secretly.
Isn't it just hooking up with a rich lady, what's so great about it.
That is to say, I was not given a chance, otherwise I would have to pry it off.
It can only be said that the fight between female stars is so simple and unpretentious.
When Liu Qianqian heard this, she wanted to refuse.
She has also heard of Deng Wendi, who has become quite popular among domestic female stars in the past two years.
Zhang Ziyi, Liu Jialing and others all have good relations with this Ms. Deng.
Liu Qianqian doesn't like this kind of celebrity-style social activities and participates in them rarely.
Normally, if I just want to play, I will at most call my close friends like Shu Chang to play at home. Even if I go out for a stroll, I can go there and quarrel with others.
Another main reason is that Xiaofeng hates this the most. When the word socialite is mentioned, it is always in a mocking tone.
It was not easy for her to refuse face to face, so she just evaded, "I don't have any problem, but there are a lot of things happening recently. I have to go back and ask Xiaofeng if there are any other arrangements that I don't know about."
"That's fine. Director Chen is still the main priority in everything. His affairs are definitely more important."
Li Binbin conveyed the message, but he didn't mean to conclude the discussion on the spot.
Later, she continued to praise Liu Qianqian's current achievements and asked about Hollywood things from time to time.
Fan Binbin refused to leave and stood aside to listen.
Liu Qianqian thought that as someone who had experienced it, she could explain it to them.
The advantages and disadvantages of major Hollywood companies, where you go, how to learn foreign languages, how to communicate well with people on the set, etc.
It can’t be said that it’s not dedicated.
However, Li Binbin had already heard about these things, and she wanted to know something deeper.
For example, there are some hidden rules, secret deals, etc., or which companies are more friendly to Chinese people, some rumors of discrimination, are they true or false, etc.
Liu Qianqian was a little confused, and this?
Wouldn't it be better to just keep filming after this is over?
I have never come across what you are talking about, so I don’t know anything about it.
Li Binbin's mind was filled with questions. Could it be that what I asked about was fake?
She began to realize that something was wrong.
Fan Binbin couldn't help but ask, "Sissi, how did you get selected for the project "The Walking Dead" and become an important role all of a sudden?"
Liu Qianqian recalled the past, "Xiaofeng introduced me to it and said that he had read this comic and the story was good, so he asked me to try it, and then it became a success.
The director said that I fit the character very well. The original comic book was male, but changing it to female also gave him new inspiration. ”
Her eyes were clear and very sure.
Got~
Now Li Binbin and Fan Binbin finally understood.
How could you still audition for a male role in the original work and still get the role?
The director, in turn, has new inspirations because of you.
Generating new inspiration may be true, but how can you audition? There must be a lot of knowledge in it.
The two looked at each other carefully and realized that she might really think so.
Emotions: This top domestic actress still looks like she has not been tortured by society.
Although he is not stupid, he can still be regarded as a top-notch "white sweet".
It really all depends on the boss.
They both hesitated to speak, but in the end they didn't say anything more.
Maybe it's a play between lovers, or maybe Director Chen doesn't like girls who are too scheming.
Thinking of this, they both had an idea.
So Director Chen likes this kind of thing?
No wonder so many beautiful girls in the circle are rushing forward, but Director Chen is not moved.
Yes, everyone who goes up to the top is scheming, how can it be compared to the pure white moonlight.
Li Binbin thought of this word instantly, and it seemed so appropriate.
Fan Binbin also understood that the gold content of childhood sweethearts is really hard to pry. The two looked at each other and both understood that the other had understood the truth.
A sense of tacit understanding arises spontaneously.
snort!
The two of them turned their heads at the same time in an instant. They were tacit confidants in the intrigue, so it was okay not to.
I wish she could go to shit early.
Liu Qianqian wrinkled her nose as she looked at the strange behavior of the two people in front of her.
A strand of dull hair on the head moved, and the early warning radar came into effect.
Do you feel like someone is looking down on me?
It won’t be Xiaofeng again, right?
He is obviously filming now.
What Liu Qianqian said was too "normal".
Therefore, both Binbins just listened and took the words at face value.
But if nothing else, from Sissi's expressions, they could both tell how prosperous the other was in Hollywood.
Robert Egger, Bruckheimer, Mark Gordon, Pete Miller, Lasseter, Leonardo, Emma Watson, Taylor Swift...
They are all characters that can only be seen in international entertainment news.
To her, they are just friends and partners.
Both of them felt a deep sense of envy in their hearts.
How could such a "simple" Liu Qianqian be given so many good opportunities?
Liu Qianqian said it very happily, and somehow she felt a sense of pleasure in her heart.
Maybe this is what Xiaofeng calls "the joy of pretending".
In fact, she doesn't know anything. She can still seize this opportunity to show off.
Huh, you always say I'm stupid, but actually I'm not stupid at all.
The "smart" Liu Qianqian was thinking in her heart.
Han Shanping saw Liu Qianqian's figure at this time and quickly greeted,
"Xiao Liu, come over here, I'll be waiting for you."
Liu Qianqian approached, and Fan Binbin and Li Binbin followed suit.
Bruckheimer smiled and said hello,
"cc, are you sure chen can't come?"
"Yes, when I set off, he was still on the crew filming. He must have worked overtime in the past few days."
Bruckheimer looked regretful, "That's such a pity, but fortunately you are here and it's the same."
"Jerry, are you telling the truth? I will tell him when I get back that it will be the same with or without him."
"Oh, no, you know what I meant."
Fan Binbin and Li Binbin looked at each other, while Liu Qianqian was chatting and laughing with the big Hollywood producer.
Being able to joke around casually and call them by their first names shows that they are obviously very familiar with each other.
What she just said should be true!
During the conversation, Wang Zhonglei extended an invitation to Liu Qianqian for cooperation.
There are two projects.
One is "Painted Skin 2". In fact, this project was originally planned to start shooting around May.
It's just that at the beginning of this year, "Your Name" was too explosive at the box office.
Many domestic film and television companies were strongly shocked.
The production companies of "Painted Skin 2", Ningxia Film and Television and Huayi, have come up with new ideas.
I wanted to further upgrade the special effects and shoot directly in 3D, which overturned my original decision to convert to 3D in post-production.
We even contacted the special effects company behind "Your Name" and hired a photography assistant from Chen Linfeng's team for temporary help.
He looked like he was going to do something big.
Speaking of "Your Name"'s box office success, this influence is gradually becoming apparent as time goes by.
As the first domestic movie to exceed 1 billion and 2 billion, the box office directly reached 3 times the limit of the domestic market.
This is much more powerful than "囧囧" in the previous life.
You know, after "囧囧" in the previous life, many domestic comedies were released in China.
For more than ten years since then, it has continued to influence the choices of many film and television companies.
Nowadays, "Your Name" is even more serious. Almost all film and television companies are considering adding special effects scenes to their films and exploring the combination of special effects and movie stories.
You know, "Your Name" is just a romance movie, and it can use so many special effects. It should be more suitable for other types of movies.
It was only during the preparation process for "Painted Skin 2" that someone mentioned it.
It quickly gained unanimous approval from Ningxia Film and Television and Huayi.
Even if Long Lin, who is also an investor, objects, it is useless.
Long Lin still pays more attention to the story. As a TV series production company, the special effects are often sufficient, exceeding the industry average, but not to the top level like "Your Name", which is very expensive.
But this time, several other producers are determined.
Just like "Your Name".
I also want to make a lot of money, I’m so fucking envious.
Because of this, the filming of "Painted Skin 2" was postponed.
Wang Zhonglei's desire to invite Liu Qianqian was also the result of a sudden impulse.
As investment increases, there is an even greater need for stars who can compete with the box office.
Is there any female star in China who can compete with the box office better than Liu Qianqian?
If you add her, you will be more secure.
The more Wang Zhonglei thought about it, the more he felt that his idea was right.
As for Zhou Xun and Zhao Yanzi, they had already negotiated.
As long as Liu Qianqian likes any role, let someone step down and make way for someone more talented.
Wang Zhonglei calculated clearly.
As for the second project, it is a Journey to the West themed movie, initiated by Zhou Xingxing.
He was also influenced by "Your Name".
2.1 billion, how much money do you have to earn?
Zhou Xingxing feels that now that the mainland film market is developed, it is time for him to make money.
Therefore, I wanted to prepare new projects earlier and approached Huayi, whose market value is now rising.
When Liu Qianqian heard Wang Zhonglei talk about these two projects, she was not very excited.
Affected by Liu Xiaoli, she had a very bad impression of Wang Zhonglei and Huayi. I heard it was very chaotic.
"It's hard for me to make a decision at the moment. How about this, Mr. Wang, please send the script to my mother. Let's read the script first and then make a decision, okay?"
"But this script has been sent to you." Wang Zhonglei's expression was a little ugly.
"Huh? Is that so?"
Liu Qianqian instantly understood that she had a bad impression, and Liu Xiaoli's impression was probably even worse.
Maybe he stopped her directly.
Liu Qianqian has developed smoothly in Hollywood, and she has always relied on Chen Linfeng in China.
Therefore, Liu Xiaoli really didn't take a fancy to these projects.
In fact, Liu Xiaoli sent the script to Sister Mei.
The two teams are now as close as one, and share a lot of news.
In fact, Sister Mei reviewed the script and passed it on to Chen Linfeng.
He is busy filming and hasn't seen it yet, so Liu Qianqian doesn't know about it.
But now, Liu Qianqian was really embarrassed and didn't know what to say.
Han Shanping regarded Chen Linfeng as a kind descendant and friend, so he always wanted to take care of Liu Qianqian.
He smiled and said, "After all, we have to wait for someone to read the script before we can make a decision. Besides, there is Xiao Chen. Mr. Wang, you have to pass his level no matter what."
"Oh, too."
Wang Zhonglei realized that with the relationship between the two of them, they must discuss it before accepting the role.
If you want to invite Liu Qianqian, you might as well talk to Chen Linfeng first.
"Then I'll talk to Director Chen later."
"Yeah, I will talk to Xiaofeng about this when I go back."
Liu Qianqian doesn't mind leaving these matters to her boyfriend to decide.
Rather, she thinks this is better.
For so many years, I relied on my mother to make decisions in the first place, and let my boyfriend make the decisions later.
This is how it goes all the way, without any problems, and it keeps getting higher and higher, so why not do it.
Wang Zhonglei quickly calmed down.
What can I do? Her boyfriend is Chen Linfeng, a gold mine owner, and everyone wants to make money from him.
She herself is the tallest female star in the country.
At this position, even the bosses of film and television companies will most likely have to support him.
Because I don’t have to worry about scripts and projects at all, I’m actually on the same level as the director.
Looking at Han Shanping next to him, he looked like he was my younger brother and sister.
Can't afford to offend, can't afford to offend.
Then, the premiere began and everyone entered the theater.
According to the new rules for premieres established by Chen Linfeng, I don't like all kinds of singing and dancing programs.
This time he didn't come, and Huaying still complied with the new procedures.
In fact, many in China have adopted this new process.
Follow successful people to learn filming, topic selection, and distribution.
Even if it’s a premiere, you might as well come and learn.
In the entertainment industry, successful people are right in everything.
The domestic version of "Infinite World" is basically the same as the foreign version.
What is particularly worth mentioning is the language of each character in "Infinite World".
The character Zheng Zha is set to be a Chinese, so Chen Linfeng always spoke Chinese when he was acting.
It was the same when it was released.
Others, such as Jackson and Zero, speak English, and Overlord even speaks Russian.
When they were filming on the set, they were just talking like chickens and ducks.
However, in the movie, the main god automatically adjusted their language system, so that even if they spoke their own languages, the other party could understand them.
This greatly deepens the audience's sense of immersion.
Therefore, domestic audiences do not have a deep understanding of whether the movie is a Hollywood movie.
After all, the protagonists still speak Chinese.
Invisibly, there is more intimacy.
This was evident to the guests invited to the scene.
Liu Qianqian talked about this when she got home after attending the premiere.
"So, I insisted on speaking our respective languages according to the setting. Is this move considered the right thing to do?"
Liu Qianqian nodded in approval, "Yes, when it is released all over the world, I will definitely feel better when I see characters speaking my own language.
The actors for the new roles in the next few films have not been decided yet. If we give more consideration to this aspect, we might be able to collect more box office. ”
Chen Linfeng looked at Liu Qianqian with curiosity, "Is this the same Qianqian I know?"
"What do you mean, I'll bite you!"
Liu Qianqian's early warning radar activated instantly. The time I sensed it tonight was because you were speaking ill of me behind my back, right?
She rushed forward reluctantly, suffocating the dragon with a chokehold from behind.
Chen Linfeng felt the soft touch on his back and stuck out his tongue, pretending to be weak.
"You are definitely not Sissi, Sissi is not that smart!"
Then it stuck tighter.
Silly girl, you are just giving out benefits like this, and there is no sense of oppression at all.
