Chapter 313 Acquisition and New Trailer
After the misunderstanding was resolved, the atmosphere became much more relaxed.
The surrounding reporters were also keenly aware that they saw the three people chatting and laughing like friends, and wrote down in their notebooks:
chen, Emma Watson, and Crystal Liu, the three of them were suspected A complex love triangle formed.
The reporter instantly imagined a sadomasochistic drama in his mind, feeling like he had all the news for several days.
Next to him, on the microphone, the "Sun" logo is shining brightly.
......
Chen Linfeng continued to ask, "Which character in the novel is the role you want to fight for?"
"The mental controller in the Zhongzhou team , I remember it’s called Zhan Lan, I think this should be a good role.”
Emma Watson said her goal without hesitation. It can be seen from her description that it is obviously. I have read the original novel.
Zhan Lan is a character who maintains a sense of presence from the beginning to the end. Chen Linfeng knows that this role must be played by a European and American actor. If it were replaced by Emma Watson, it wouldn't be a bad thing.
What he wants to win for Sissi is the beautiful assassin girl Zhao Yingkong with childlike face and big breasts. Although the fierce part is a little disappointing, other aspects are still in line with the setting.
The goals of this character and Emma Watson do not overlap, which is a good thing.
After all, Emma Watson is now gaining momentum and is almost the most famous and popular among young actresses in Europe and America.
If there is a conflict between the roles they are competing for, between her and Liu Qianqian, Disney knows who it will choose with almost no need to think about it.
Thinking of this, Chen Linfeng said, "OK, I don't object to you fighting for this role."
It's just that Emma Watson will definitely not be satisfied. She wants Chen, the original author, to support her.
"Chen, what conditions can I adopt in exchange for your support? You know, I am determined to win this role."
If it were anyone else, I would probably think of Hong at this time. Sofa, unspoken rules, but Chen Linfeng did not think wrongly.
An actor of Emma Watson’s caliber would not be able to achieve this just because of the support of an original author.
Then the other directors and producers behind will have to sleep all the way?
So, Chen Linfeng calmly refused, "My power is very limited, I may not be able to help you, I'm sorry."
Emma Watson looked at him thoughtfully , suddenly said, "Do you want to push this friend of yours?"
She nuzzled towards Liu Qianqian.
Chen Linfeng was noncommittal and did not answer directly.
"Okay, Chen, I just ask you to support me a little bit at this critical moment, okay? You don't need to take the initiative. You just need to nod when others ask you."
Emma Watson puts on a pathetic look.
Chen Linfeng did not look sideways, but nodded slightly, "If there is a suitable opportunity, I said, I will not object."
Seeing that the goal was achieved, Emma Watson slightly He felt a little more relaxed, but this kind of guarantee was too unreliable. Maybe if another female star came over, he would still say the same thing.
This guess is indeed correct. Some time ago, Scarlett Johansson called and Chen Linfeng also responded with the same reply.
You fight for your own opportunities. When the time comes, I will decide based on the situation. I will nod to whichever one has the best chance. Anyway, the one who succeeds will have to recognize my favor.
Emma Watson has been in the entertainment industry since she was a child, and she is very familiar with this kind of thing.
She was not in a hurry to leave after discussing the matter. Instead, she grabbed Liu Qianqian and kept chatting.
Liu Qianqian is not stupid. Since she knows that the other party is not trying to steal a man from her, it will be beneficial to her to have a good relationship.
After all, Hermione was very popular around the world, so Liu Qianqian put her mind down and talked and laughed with her.
Later, the two became like good sisters.
Chen Linfeng didn't pay attention to this. He went to film alone, leaving the two of them here to show the deep love between sisters.
When the morning was over, when Emma Watson was leaving, she even looked a little reluctant to leave.
The reporter also said that she and Liu Qianqian developed a deep friendship. The two became very good friends and agreed to hang out together in the future.
As for chen?
Sorry, I'm not familiar with it. I only looked at the appearance before and it was too superficial. Chen is a writer I respect very much, and I don't have other thoughts now.
The next day, Chen Linfeng was speechless when he saw the report in the newspaper.
This woman is really shrewd and knows who to please.
At the end of the month, the Olympic Games are over.
Chen Linfeng published the first batch of stills from "Police Incident" on his blog.
It is also issued simultaneously on other key portal websites.
“I didn’t pay attention before, Jiang Wu looks a bit fierce like this.”
“Is Xiao Chen’s movie finally going to be announced? Is it going to be released soon?”
“I’m looking forward to it, hurry up, hurry up, there haven’t been any good movies this year, I’m just waiting for Xiao Chen’s wave at the end of the year.”
“The style of the picture looks a bit cold, I won’t It’s a very serious kind of movie.”
"Looking at the performance of Xiao Chen's past works, he usually intersperses some humorous scenes, so you don't have to worry about this."
"Yes, "Star You" is so easy to cry, and the previous ones are still very funny. "
"Stop talking, I feel a little uncomfortable when I think about the ending."
"..."
Netizens were very excited about the Olympics just now. Ending, in the past few months, everyone was paying attention to the Olympics and almost didn't watch movies.
This happens to be a good trend. Chen Linfeng's new movie seems to have started early promotion.
Everyone is very concerned about this.
As for the media, they began to gradually release the interviews from the previous two months. Due to the Olympics, these materials were suppressed and not released.
For a time, Chen Linfeng's new movie "Police Incident" became a small hot spot.
In early September, Chen Linfeng went to Beautiful Country to formally sign an acquisition contract, acquiring Summit Entertainment for US$168 million.
In this regard, only some of the American media reported it.
At the height of the financial crisis, top investment banks like Lehman Brothers seemed to be unable to survive. The acquisition of a small Hollywood production company was not big news.
It’s just that Chen Linfeng’s identity is a bit special, so there is a special discussion in the media.
When talking about this famous best-selling novel writer, most media are skeptical of his acquisition decision.
Although Chen is a genius and has made great achievements in many fields. He can even handle such things as investment, but the operation of a commercial company is another dimension, and they are not optimistic about it. .
But if such news is forwarded to China, it will be different.
"Xiao Chen acquires Meiliguo Film and Television Production Company, suspected of entering Hollywood"
"$168 million for a Hollywood film and television production company. Is this decision too radical? 》
Domestic financial news is not very optimistic about Chen Linfeng's operation. After all, the professional media in Ailiken have this view.
“Although Xiao Chen has made a lot of money from investing, the acquisition of a film and television company is still too radical.
As a company, Summit Entertainment has only had two productions, "Two Smoking Barrels" and "Mr. and Mrs. Smith", that have made good profits in the past, but its performance has been poor in the past two years.
The production cost of this year's "The Hurt Locker" was US$15 million, and the box office revenue has so far only been over US$6 million. It is a huge loss-making work. In this case, Xiao Chen bought it at a lower price. , it’s hard to say what a good decision it is. "
Although the financial media are not very optimistic, the film and television media do not care about this.
"This is a big step forward for us Chinese film and television people, and it is a breakthrough milestone event. "
"Dare to think and dare to do. As a new generation, Xiao Chen has the courage and confidence that his predecessors did not have. ”
The entertainment industry is extremely excited about this matter, and it feels like Hollywood is within reach.
Xiao Chen has a Hollywood company, which means that I also have one. Even if I don’t have one now, I might have the opportunity in the future.
Chen Linfeng’s phone kept ringing with friends from all walks of life coming to congratulate him.
Han Shanping called specifically to inquire and asked if he wanted to change direction and want to enter the international market.
"Mr. Han, my roots must still be in China. Don't worry about this. Over in Hollywood, my attitude is similar to that of Brother Fang Long. I just go there and have a try.
When buying a company, I just saw a good opportunity and made the move. After all, it’s a new era, and we need to play the game in a new era. ”
Han Shanping was speechless. How could there be such a person in the past? If you want to make a career, buy a company first.
You are not going to be a gangster, you are going to be a dragon. Yes.
Domestic netizens also feel like they are seeing creatures from the future regardless of what the financial media reports.
The Olympics have just ended, and everyone’s mentality has not changed much. , I have a natural awe for Hollywood, the cultural tool of Europe and the United States, especially the United States, and think it is a noble thing.
And Chen Linfeng was able to buy a Hollywood company on his own, which is simply a breakthrough.
However, the result of breaking through the inherent psychological inertia is that many people who believe in Hollywood are very uncomfortable with Chen Linfeng's acquisition.
Public opinion online shows a conflicting trend.
"Xiao Chen has become the boss of Hollywood? Why do I feel so unreal?"
"This is a bit big. I feel that Xiao Chen has suddenly left the domestic entertainment industry. Far, too many levels.”
"What the hell? Xiao Chen just bought a small company. There are so many independent companies like Hollywood, so what's there to brag about?"
"That is, the value of Hollywood lies in the big six and famous directors. With Big Star, what’s there to brag about as an independent company?”
“It’s so easy to say. A company like New Line that produced “Lord of the Rings” is also an independent company, according to you. It’s not worth mentioning.”
“What kind of peak is this? It’s not on the same level as Xinxian.”
“You can do that. Come on.”
"..."
Chen Linfeng didn't pay attention to the controversy on the Internet. He saw previous financial news reports.
The movie "The Hurt Locker" mentioned in the report just reminded him of the content of his previous life. This movie was not good at the box office, but it seemed to be very good at winning awards.
He quickly made a call and contacted Rob Friedman, the president of Summit Entertainment. After Summit was acquired by Lionsgate Pictures in his previous life, he was still in control of the company's operations.
After Chen Linfeng acquired the company, he delegated power to him to continue to be in charge. He was only assigned finance and supervision.
At other times, Chen Linfeng pays more attention to the company's strategic direction and does not care about daily operations.
He also retained 10% of the dry shares as an employee incentive pool, and Robert, the president, got half of it.
Chen Linfeng told Rob to continue to promote the public relations for "The Hurt Locker" to win awards. This matter is quite critical, and he can use it as the first step to show off the operation after buying the company.
Although this was a strategy that the company had set before the acquisition. But employees and the outside world will not care about this. They only see the results and whoever is the current one will get the credit.
If this were not the case, there would not be so many peach picking phenomena in all walks of life.
As the president, Rob is very capable. He does not need Chen Linfeng to explain, he has been pushing forward this matter.
Now the boss wants to go with him, which makes Rob somewhat relieved.
At least the boss’s idea is good. Maybe the company will have some future in the future?
Such a thing as domination definitely does not exist in reality. Chen Linfeng bought Summit Entertainment.
Not only are the employees within the company panicked, but Robert, the president, is also worried, fearing that his future boss will be unreliable.
If it weren’t for the current financial crisis, most companies are laying off employees, and it would be too risky to resign rashly. Maybe many employees would have resigned.
It is still too unstable for the Chinese boss to be in charge of a Hollywood film and television company.
But for now, the financial crisis has given Chen Linfeng some stability.
"Also, when is the release date of "The Twilight Saga"? How are the preparations going?"
"November 21, the announcement and distribution has now begun."
Rob reported the film's announcement and distribution progress in detail, and the structure was very clear.
Chen Linfeng hung up the phone with confidence. These two things are the key to the follow-up. As long as there are no problems, he can earn a lot of reputation and stabilize the company's popularity.
When he went to inspect the company, he was also keenly aware of the instability of people's hearts.
The director's popularity can be transformed into the popularity of the work through reasonable methods.
Chen Linfeng's purchase of a Hollywood company has been a hot topic recently.
With the end of the Olympic Games, the domestic people's morale has ushered in the first wave of rising. Chen Linfeng's operation just caters to the public's psychology.
So whether it is netizens or media other than finance, everyone regards it as a good thing, or at least a good start.
Therefore, Kirin Studio also took advantage of the opportunity to include in many press releases the news that a recent work directed by Xiao Chen will be released soon.
The public attention of "Police Incident" has reached another level.
At the same time, Kirin Corporation merged with China Film Group and released the first promotional video for "Police Incident".
......
Zhang Heng put his hands on the keyboard and felt that for a while he couldn't write any words in his head.
“Forget it, I’m stuck, that’s it for today.”
Zhang Heng feels that he can’t work too hard, readers will never be satisfied, even if he updates 10,000 words a day , readers will only shout that there are too few updates.
He usually writes less, and updates every now and then. Readers may shed tears of gratitude when they see him update more.
Being able to manage your own readers well is the self-cultivation of being an online writer.
Zhang Heng then read the comments backstage.
"Made died, eunuch, you want to stop updating again today, right? It hasn't been updated yet?"
Zhang Heng's eyelids twitched, this is a minority, most readers are still very Be honest.
He no longer pays attention to the novel. I have free time today. I should find something to entertain myself.
No, where should I start looking for inspiration?
Zhang Heng clicked on the homepage of Penguin News and found a few words displayed on the large banner on the homepage at the top.
“New era action movie, the first trailer of “Police Incident” is shocking!”
Oh, is it Xiao Chen’s new movie?
Zhang Heng follows Chen Linfeng's blog and seems to have seen related publicity before.
He clicked it with interest, ready to see what the trailer was about.
After a few seconds of loading, the webpage began to play... advertisements.
“Fuck, now Penguin is starting to do this.”
Fortunately, the advertisement is not long, only about ten seconds.
At the beginning, a man ran away in an alley, with Jiang Wu chasing after him.
The background music is low electronic music, and the atmosphere is a bit intense.
The man looked very scared. He glanced back and felt that there was no one there. At this time, he happened to come to the intersection.
He ran to the right side of the alley. Two seconds later, a scream came and the man was knocked back.
In the camera, the man fell to the ground and fell asleep. Jiang Wu bent down and patted his face, his expression a little panicked.
"Yeah, you should take a breath, don't die, please."
The atmosphere suddenly changed, even the BGM stopped.
A smile appeared on Zhang Heng's face. It seemed that it was Xiao Chen's unique style, which was a bit funny.
At this time, the screen on the computer switched again, and the BGM just now sounded again.
Jiang Wu led a few people and faced a large group of fierce-looking men. He sighed with a relaxed expression.
"Ah, the underworld."
The scene cuts again, and several people are surrounding Jiang Wu in a house, looking like they are about to take action.
In the next scene, Jiang Wu faces a tall and strong man.
Then the previous scenes were flipped through and the fight started. Jiang Wu almost used the same gesture of extending his palm to slap his opponent to the ground.
This shot cuts very quickly, and the overall look is very impactful and powerful.
The screen turned dark and displayed the four characters "Monster Detective". At the same time, Jiang Wu on the screen was grinning widely, looking like a bloodthirsty beast.
The screen turns completely black and the first half ends.
"The action feels very cool." Zhang Heng felt a sense of freshness. He had never seen this kind of protagonist who looked strong at first glance and was as strong as a bear.
If before, he mainly paid attention to this film because it was directed by Xiao Chen, now he is really interested.
He continued to read.
Then, a man dragged along a construction site sledgehammer, and Wang Qianyuan appeared.
What follows is a series of cuts, showing Wang Qianyuan getting violent during gang fights.
The third act connects the previous two paragraphs.
In the police station, Jiang Wu pinned Wang Qianyuan's profile picture on the display board. This is a scene of analyzing the case.
“I will definitely catch this kid within ten days.”
Jiang Wu made a promise to Wu Mengda.
What follows is a series of conflict shots, including confrontations between people and vehicle collisions. Fights in each scene are all shown.
Actors such as Wang Qianyuan, Wang Baoqiang, Shi Xiaolong, etc. all appeared during the period.
Zhang Heng watched intently, feeling that he had received a huge amount of information, and that he didn't see anything at all. He only felt very excited.
At this time, the BGM suddenly stopped, and the four characters "Police Incident" appeared on the screen.
It should be over.
Zhang Heng calmed down his excitement.
Unexpectedly, after the trailer shows the title, there is another one behind it.
Jiang Wu leaned back in his chair and looked at the criminal in front of him.
“You don’t want to say yes,”
Jiang Wu stood up and began to take off his coat, waving, "Xiaolong, get up and speak up."
The scene turned and the criminal put a motorcycle helmet on his head. Jiang Wu told the sitting criminal, "Sit up straight. .”
Then punched out.
The screen showed the aftermath, and only a scream appeared.
At the same time, from the perspective of the camera, only Shi Xiaolong was seen pulling the curtain, which just covered the scene just now.
The screams grew louder.
The screen turned completely black again.
"On December 5, it will be officially released in theaters nationwide."
This video is really over.
“This is a bit bold. The police use violent methods to get criminals to explain the situation. How can they pass a trial?”
Zhang Heng stroked his chin, feeling really fresh in his heart.
After many years, the mainland has finally begun to produce such distinctive police and gangster action movies.
And judging from the entire picture and the few plots that appear, it is obviously different from the temperament of Hong Kong films.
Zhang Heng was so excited that he really wished he could sit in the cinema and watch it right now.
After thinking for a while, he clicked back to his author background and sent a speech.
"I just watched the trailer of Xiao Chen's new movie, and now I am very excited. I have no intention of typing. I will stop writing today and will write tomorrow."
Soon, there were comments from readers.
"Made, every time Xiao Chen releases a new work, he always uses him as an excuse. This time he releases a promotional video and you can ask for leave. I am really convinced by the dead eunuch."
< br>"Xiao Chen has released a promotional video, I have to go and see it."
"I have to say that Xiao Chen's movie seems to be interesting this time, and I am already ready for the money."
"So, because Xiao Chen's trailer was interrupted today, can you make it up tomorrow?"
"?
Where are the people? Don't pretend to be dead!"
With this At the same time, Chen Linfeng's trailer also sparked a wave of discussion on the Internet.
Obviously, this style of trailer is not very common in this era.
Everyone has not experienced "trailer scams" very often, or not that many times, and they are generally relatively simple-minded.
Ten thousand words updated, two updates added
