Chapter 419 Meeting of acquaintances
Wang Shu did not answer these words, but answered politely: "Sister Binbin, long time no see."
Fan Binbin noticed Wang Shu's unfamiliar attitude, and his expression It felt slightly unnatural, but quickly returned to normal.
She responded calmly and slightly resentfully: "Director Wang, are you unfamiliar?"
These words not only expressed resentment, but also hinted that the two of them are very close. Guanxi, is it necessary to reject people thousands of miles away?
Wang Shu smiled and did not continue, but changed the subject and said: "I heard that you are filming a movie directed by Wang Jing recently?"
In December 2008, Fan Binbin participated in "Future Police" of shooting.
This movie is a "science fiction film" produced by China Film, written and directed by Wang Jing, starring Liu Dehua, Xu Jiao, Fan Binbin and others.
With an investment of 150 million, it is considered a large-scale production.
In the original timeline, its box office was only 59 million after its release.
Fan Binbin also knew that Wang Shu was changing the subject. Although he felt quite uncomfortable in his heart, he still managed to answer: "Yes."
Then he looked at Wang Shu and said, "It's a science fiction film."
“Science fiction movie?” Wang Shu pretended to be surprised.
Fan Binbin curled his lips and said, "I don't know if you have stimulated me, but now many people want to make science fiction movies."
"Is there such a thing?" Wang Shu A joy.
"Isn't that right? I heard that there are many science fiction film and television projects now." Fan Binbin answered.
After finishing speaking, he added quietly, "Now everyone is saying that you have made a great contribution to our mainland film and television industry. There were not many science fiction works before. Since your science fiction film came out, it suddenly appeared. He has participated in many science fiction projects. "
"Leave aside the production cost of "Terror Cruise", "Time Traveler" has achieved a good box office with a small cost."
"Plus. The sci-fi films that went to Hollywood were very popular in domestic theaters, allowing many people to see the potential of science fiction works. "
"So, many people want to replicate the success of "Space Traveler"." >
After saying that, he smiled proudly and said, "However, the "Future Police" I participated in has an investment of 150 million, and it can be considered a big production."
"It seems that you are quite confident?" Wang Shu made fun of him.
“That’s natural!” Fan Binbin said confidently, “Wang Jin directs it, and Liu Dehua plays the leading role, so naturally it’s not bad.”
“Wang Jin,” Wang Shu smashed his lips and said, "He has the title of the King of Bad Movies."
Hearing this, Fan Binbin rolled his eyes and said, "What's wrong with having this title?"
"Although he has indeed made a lot of bad movies, there are not many people in the mainland who can match him in making commercial films."
"Okay, I wish the film will have good results after it is released." Wang Shu smiled and answered.
When Fan Binbin heard this, he was a little dissatisfied, but he didn't say anything. He turned to ask: "Looking at the news reports, the movie you directed was nominated for the Golden Globe Award?"
Wang Shu He shrugged noncommittally.
“Are you confident about winning the award?” Fan Binbin asked curiously.
If Wang Shu wins the Golden Globe, his status as a celebrity in Hollywood will naturally increase.
In Fan Binbin’s eyes, Wang Shu, who won the Golden Globe Award, is more important than Wang Shu, who did not win the award.
Wang Shu smiled and said: "It's just a Golden Globe. It doesn't matter whether I win or not. My goal is the Academy Award."
"Just brag and give back the Oscar." It's the Academy Award." Fan Binbin rolled his eyes after hearing this.
She knows how difficult it is for mainland Chinese directors to win the Academy Awards. It is not just for a good film to win an award.
Among them, it will also be affected by many factors.
There is absolutely no chance that Wang Shu will win the prize.
Golden Globe Award, maybe it will be possible.
Wang Shu was not angry either. He knew that not only Fan Binbin did not think he could win the award, but also many people inside and outside the circle did not think he could win the award.
Because under normal circumstances, it is impossible for him, a young Chinese director who has just arrived in Hollywood, to win an award.
No one thought it was normal for him to win the award.
If "The Wolf of Wall Street" hadn't been so popular in early 2009, he never thought he had a chance.
"Okay, I won't bullshit you anymore, I still have things to be busy with here." Wang Shu said.
Fan Binbin nodded, pursed his lips, and then said, "Let's have dinner together when we have time."
"Okay." Wang Shu responded.
Anyway, you don’t have to keep the appointment if you accept the appointment. You should accept the appointment first and then talk about it.
Fan Binbin smiled back at Wang Shu and turned to leave.
After greeting many familiar people, Wang Shu's eyes suddenly lit up, and he walked over and said, "Sister Hong, long time no see. Thank you for coming this time."
There were many people around. Chen Hong deliberately kept a certain distance from Wang Shu and said with a faint smile on his face: "I'm fine in the capital. I came last time, so I will come this time as well."
Wang Shu laughed after hearing this and said, "No matter what, I'm grateful to Sister Hong for coming to support me."
Last time, because China Film Group was Chen Kaige's boss, Chen Hong had a reason to come here to save face.
This time, Wang Shu was really given face.
Chen Hong kept smiling when he heard Wang Shu's kind words.
Wang Shu asked softly: "Isn't Director Chen here?"
Chen Hong had a faint smile on her face from beginning to end. She said: "He is not feeling well and has taken medicine. Rest at home.”
Wang Shu was speechless when he heard this, and couldn't help complaining, "Director Chen, he was also feeling unwell last time."
"Haha." Chen Hong couldn't help but smile, and didn't explain, but continued to act as if it were true. He said, "You should be fine after taking the medicine and resting for a day or two."
Wang Shu knew that Chen Hong was talking nonsense, and Chen Hong also knew that Wang Shu knew that she was talking nonsense.
But it doesn't matter, as long as there is a step to get past.
Everyone inside and outside the industry knows that when "The Promise" was released, Wang Shu and Chen Kaige formed a relationship.
Although two years have passed, with Chen Kaige's nostrils turned upward, he will never be able to swallow his breath no matter how long it takes.
Therefore, it is impossible for Chen Kaige to come to attend the premiere of the movie directed by Wang Shu.
Chen Hong didn’t want to continue this topic, and then changed the topic and said: "I heard that the quality of your zombie movie is very good, and I have long wanted to see your first zombie movie in China. Come over now."
Wang Shu was not surprised when he heard this, because "Taipei Trip" had been screened within China Film Group.
Someone will definitely reveal the video.
So he joked with a smile: "You don't have to hear it, this movie is really good, and I won't disappoint Sister Hong."
Although he said this, in fact, he was quite grateful to Chen Hong. .
Because if Chen Hong wants to watch it, she can go to the cinema to watch it instead of coming to the premiere. She will be there just to help Wang Shu increase the popularity of "Taipei Trip".
Chen Hong was delighted when he heard this and joked: "Are you so confident?"
Wang Shu answered with a smile: "You have heard that the shooting is very good, can I not be confident?"
"Haha." Chen Hong laughed twice, and then said, "You can continue to work. , I'll go in first."
"Okay! I'll wait for you until I'm done," Wang Shu said with a smile as he really had something to do at the moment.
When Chen Hong heard this, the smile on his face became stronger and he nodded slightly.
Many people around saw Wang Shu chatting with Chen Hong. Both the media and the guests who came to attend the premiere were all paying attention.
Especially the media, which smells bad and sets up cameras to take pictures.
As we all know, Wang Shu and Chen Kaige had a feud.
Now Chen Hong once again dressed up to attend the premiere of "Taipei Trip" and chatted with Wang Shu with a smile.
This is big news!
Last time, Chen Hong was present because the sponsor of "Mei Lanfang" was China Film.
This time
Wang Shu saw that the media reporters around him suddenly seemed to have been injected with blood, and his eyes couldn't help but fall on Chen Hong's back.
The last time was because of "Mei Lanfang". After the melon-eaters learned about this later, they found that it was excusable.
This time Chen Hong comes to support, it will definitely attract much attention and discussion.
With this kind of hype, the popularity of "Taipei Trip" will rise to a higher level again.
It's a pity that Chen Kaige didn't come.
The star-studded red carpet is over, and then comes the press conference after the premiere.
This is different from the press conference held during the day. The press conference during the day is to be precise a media meeting.
The current press conference is an event held around the release of "Taipei Trip".
Similar to the press conference of "Space Traveler", the host of this "Taipei Trip" press conference is still Jing Wei from the 6 sets.
Generally, he will be invited to host press conferences that are more prestigious.
After all, he is the host of Yangshi 6 sets. No matter how famous he is, the cards of Yangshi 6 sets are real.
Jing Wei was wearing a suit and tie. He walked onto the stage with a microphone in his hand and said loudly: "Dear guests and media friends, good afternoon everyone. Welcome to the world premiere of "Taipei Trip" At the press conference, I am Jing Wei, the host of Yangshi-6 Movie Channel. "
"As we all know, Director Wang has cooperated with China Film, Shanghai Film, Enlight, and Huayi, spending 300 million to bring together our excellent talents. The production team has brought you China’s first zombie movie.”
“Travel to Taipei” will be the first zombie movie in China.”
"What kind of visual feast will it bring to us?"
"Let's wait and see!"
"Before the curtain opens, I will introduce today's guests to you. "
"The film's investors, Mr. Han Sanping, chairman of China Film Group Corporation, Mr. Ren Zhonglun of Shanghai Film Group Corporation, Mr. Wang Changtian of Guangguang Lighting Co., Ltd., Weng Li of China Film Distribution Co., Ltd. and"
"are all very important. Guest! ”
As these words fell, the audience burst into warm applause.
Yangshi host Jing Wei then said: "Next is the cast team of our film, Mr. Liu Dehua, Ms. Li Binbin, Mr. Jiang Wen, Mr. Zhang Yishan, and Ms. Yangzi."
"And our little friend Zhang Zifeng."
The audience burst into warm applause again.
Following the process, Jing Wei continued: "After introducing all the guests and the creative team, we want to enjoy the clips from the filming of "Taipei Trip" and relive every memory from the filming together. Please Watch the big screen.”
As Jing Wei finished speaking, a clip from the "Taipei Trip" video appeared on the big screen.
The film is not long, only about five minutes in total.
As the trailer appeared, a lot of laughter broke out on the scene.
Obviously it is a horror zombie film, but there are so many funny scenes on the shooting scene.
Had it not been for the widespread praise after the internal screening of China Film, most people would subconsciously think that this is a comedy film covered in zombie skin.
The five-minute clip went by in the blink of an eye, and many people in the audience began to pretend that they were still not finished.
They are all experts. Regardless of whether they really think the movie is good after watching the trailer, or whether it is simply not to their liking, they all expressed their admiration for it.
Immediately afterwards, the host Jing Wei walked onto the stage and said: "Yes, the shooting has passed, but these frozen pictures suddenly brought us back to the scene of the shooting at that time. I think especially It’s the creative team sitting in the audience. They will definitely recall the filming at that time. I think there were hardships and joys.”
“Let’s invite them out and let them talk to all of us. To share the experience of filming "Travel to Taipei", we invite Andy Lau, Li Binbin, and Jiang Wen to join us on the stage. ”
The audience applauded
Liu Dehua, Li Binbin, Jiang Wen and other creative staff walked onto the stage and began to interact with the host.
The actors who came to attend the premiere were all envious when they looked at the highly anticipated creative actors on the stage.
This movie is not only directed by Wang Shu, but also the first mainland zombie film with an investment of 300 million.
For many actors, having the opportunity to star in a major production is a dream opportunity in their acting career.
Not to mention, it is still a groundbreaking work.
Fan Binbin looked at the people on the stage, his eyes slightly dim.
She was wondering, if she had not left Huayi before, would she have starred as the heroine of "Taipei Trip"?
Fan Binbin didn’t regret leaving Huayi, but felt that he left at the wrong time.
If she had been given the opportunity to play the heroine role in "Travel to Taipei" a year or two later, it might have been better for her future development.
On the stage, Wang Shu, as the director of "Taipei Trip", took the lead in expressing his sincere gratitude to the industry insiders who came to the scene.
After he finished speaking, there was warm applause from the audience.
Jing Wei, the host of "Yangshi 6" specially invited by China Film Distribution, timely hosted at this time: "I just asked the directors and actors of the "Travel to Taipei" crew to share with all of us the filming of "Travel to Taipei" "Now let's start with Wang Shu, the screenwriter and director of this film. Director Wang, please."
Wang Shu smiled and answered the questions in front of many industry insiders and media reporters in the audience. : "Today, "Travel to Taipei" is about to be released. I am personally very happy."
"Many people here are able to get together today for the first time in such a long time. We have never been together like today.”
“It is also a joy to have everyone come together today.”
"This movie is made by the whole crew, and we have completed such a movie together."
"I am very happy to be here today, and thank you all for your attention to "Travel to Taipei"."< br>
“Thank you.”
