Chapter 228 Fan Binbin’s Visit
We talked on the phone for an hour, and it wasn’t until we hung up that Zhang Chen had the chance to look at the body on the bed.
Fan Jiuyi came last night, um, in the name of visiting the class.
"Lake Eden" got off to a good start in North America, but in terms of lighting, it was only a belated decision that it had to go on a road show.
Well, it’s not called a road show here, it’s called cooperative publicity.
This is why Sister Jiuyi came to the United States.
I'm a little excited. I'm here to promote a movie in the United States.
For this reason, I also bought a lot of notices, such as "Fan Binbin promotes the movie in the United States, the scene is hot", etc. Anyway, I have to brag, brag a lot.
These are all the work of Mu Xiaoguang, who has officially agreed to serve as the operating officer of ‘Fan Binbin Studio’.
In fact, horror films generally do not promote them because the audience is very fixed and it is basically difficult to break out of the circle.
For ordinary horror movies, theaters just put a few posters and that's it. Some special ones will be promoted online to build momentum, such as "The Blair Witch Project."
"Eden Lake" is somewhat different from traditional plasma films, and it has a good start, so New Line wants to try it to see if it can expand its results.
Cooperating with the publicity will not be as tiring as the domestic road show. Traveling from city to city is basically to cooperate with the lighting, go on the show with the male protagonist Jason Statham, and accept interviews.
Jason Statham left the group because of this.
After the promotion, Xiaopang Fan came over to visit the class. In fact, it was just to give him something.
You know, what are you sending as a gift from thousands of miles away? Well, it’s not goose feathers!
“How do you feel?”
“It’s good, there are some feminist organizations approaching me...”
“I’m not asking this...”
Zhang Chen felt that he had been insulted. Could it be that the level of foreplay between labor and management was poor?
Fan Xiaopang knew that he was getting carried away, so he immediately tried to make up for it. No, he immediately started hesitating.
She had planned the visit plan for a long time. Even if there was no invitation from New Line, Fan Xiaopang would come.
How could she let Zhang Chen and Xu Qing be alone for two months? This was absolutely impossible.
As someone who has experienced this, she is well aware of the allusion that love grows over time.
She actually planned this herself.
Sister Jiuyi believes that love will last for a long time, but what if love fails?
That only means it hasn’t been long enough.
If one year is not long enough, let’s do it again. If two years is not long enough, let’s do it again 2234.
Anyway, she wanted to be deeply bound to Zhang Chen. If it weren't for the fact that killing people would be bad for her personal future, she might have done it.
There is no way, Zhang Chen is so popular now, from domestic to foreign countries, I don’t know how many little vixens are secretly plotting against him.
If possible, Fan Xiaopang even wanted to establish a fixed relationship with Zhang Chen, but unfortunately, Zhang Chen did not agree.
It’s okay to enter the body, but forget it to enter life.
Zhang Chen thought very clearly. He was young now and in the right grade for playing. He didn't want to be shackles too early.
If a relationship is not established, it is the mutual attraction between men and women.
Once the relationship is confirmed, it is cheating.
Her personal studio was established, and her career ushered in a second spring. Especially with the success of "Shark Beach" and "Eden Lake" in North America, her personal studio got off to a good start.
But at the same time, she also suffered a lot of slander.
In the past two days, all kinds of dirty information about her has been flying everywhere.
There is nothing you can do, you have taken too many people’s jobs and it is normal to be resented.
But fortunately, Mu Xiaoguang now handles these things for him, so he doesn't have to do it himself like in the past.
At the same time, she also felt the benefits of having Mu Xiaoguang.
Hua Yi didn't care at all when things like this happened before, and she had to figure out a solution on her own. Now there are professionals who can do it, and the results are immediate.
She also admired Zhang Chen's vision more and more. Mu Xiaoguang was the candidate recommended to him by Zhang Chen, and it worked really well.
Of course it’s easy to use. You will rely on him to become Fan Ye in the future, and he will help you block the gun at the critical moment.
After halftime, Fan Xiaopang first served Zhang Chen and cleaned him up before it was his turn.
Zhang Chen took out a cigarette, lit it, puffed away happily, and asked by the way: "I'm not here during this period, is there any news in the country?"
Generally speaking, if something big happens, , Dong Jianqiang will definitely inform him, so this will be purely chatting.
Fan Xiaopang said while cleaning himself up: "The biggest news is the negative reports about me..."
"Oh, what did you say?"
Fan Xiaopang rolled his eyes: "What else can I say? I got the role because I slept with you..."
"Huh? These guys guessed pretty accurately."
"Fuck you~"
Fan Xiaopang was about to hit her, but Zhang Chen reached out to hold her and pinched her again Got a handful.
"In short, it is all kinds of arrangements. I said that I was able to appear in "Cell Phone" because I slept with Director Feng, and later I was able to appear in "Shark Beach" because I slept with you..."< br>
Zhang Chen laughed next to him: "It's not because you were so arrogant during that time and caused hatred everywhere. Now you have tasted the bitter pill, right?"
"Huh, I'm afraid of them? They're just a bunch of losers. I've grown up in dirty water since my debut. They scold me, which shows that they themselves know they can't compare to me..."
Fan Xiaopang's inheritance His ability to suppress people is pretty strong, and he doesn’t seem to mind being targeted.
“Is there anything else?”
“Yes, Wu Kebo from Orange Sky announced that they have reached an intention to cooperate with Wu Yusen, and the two parties are preparing to collaborate on a blockbuster film about the Three Kingdoms..." Zhang Chen nodded, this should be "Red Cliff". Unexpectedly, after going round and round, the two of them went together.
"By the way, they also sent me an audition invitation..."
Fan Xiaopang said while observing Zhang Chen's face. Seeing that the latter didn't respond, he said with some disappointment: "But I refuse. I am yours, how can I join Chengtian's project~"
"Wait a minute, why are you my people?"
"I don't care, anyway~"
Sister Jiuyi suddenly appeared like a little girl. Not to mention, it was quite tempting.
Fan Binbin stayed on the set for a total of three days and returned to China three days later.
It was Zhang Chen who drove her back to China.
There is no way. In the past three days, the two of them have been discussing projects worth hundreds of millions every day. Zhang Chen's body really can't bear it.
Having to film during the day and discuss projects at night, Zhang Chen only had three hours of sleep every day, and Zhang Chen had dark circles under his eyes.
Before she left, she actually asked Zhang Chen, are you not worried at all that these two people you don't deal with will get together and make some big noise?
Wouldn't that slap you in the face?
Fan Binbin thinks that he and Zhang Chen are like grasshoppers on the same rope.
So I am quite concerned about Zhang Chen.
But Zhang Chen is actually not worried at all.
He had watched "Red Cliff" in his previous life. What do you remember after watching "Red Cliff"?
Isn’t there just one sentence, ‘Mengmeng, stand up~’
Otherwise they say that Hong Kong directors can’t shoot historical themes. That’s really the case.
No one in their right mind would dare to do this.
The joke is not nonsense. No screenwriter or director in China would dare to say that Cao Cao attacked Jiangdong because of a woman, but Wu Baige did.
So I can only admire it.
"Red Cliff" deserves to be a bad movie.
It took hundreds of millions to shoot such a thing, otherwise Wu Yusen’s era has passed.
In fact, this is normal. Every director has a creative period. During that period, his ideas are most in line with the aesthetics of the times, so the probability of producing high-quality works is very high.
After a few years, my knowledge and understanding gradually lag behind, unable to keep up with the speed of aesthetic development, and the movie will not be so good.
Du Qifeng, Liu Zhenwei, Xu Ke, Wu Yusen are all like this...
Why did Liu Zhenwei continue to prey on "Westward Journey"? It was because he knew very well that he was already behind the times and could only consume emotions while he was still popular.
Otherwise in two years, no one will care about him if he wants to spend money.
The same goes for Huang Baiming, "Happy Ghost" written when he was young is such a classic, it's quite funny even if I read it now.
But if you look at his current movies, there is no progress in content. They are still the same as "Happy Ghost" decades ago, so he shoots one movie after another.
The same is true for Wu Yusen.
It's just that he came back from Hollywood and has a longer shelf life.
What people see is the glamor on the outside. When "Red Cliff" is released, people will find that the glamor on the outside is actually just a layer of wax, and the inside has long since decayed.
......
In the past two days, the filming progress of "Hurricane Rescue" is still progressing in an orderly manner. Zhang Chen intends to let Lu Yang and Guan Hu take on part of the work, but there is no other way. thing.
He may not participate in the early promotion of "Manslaughter", but he has to attend the premiere, but "Taken" will continue, and the work cannot be stopped just because he leaves.
Fortunately, Lu Yang and Guan Hu did a good job.
Lu Yang is a student at school and has little experience, but because he is a young man, he always has fantastic ideas.
In comparison, Guan Hu is much more stable.
Guan Hu started his career by filming TV series, and he was pretty good at it.
"Black Hole", "Winter Solstice", "Xishi Eyes"...
Director Chen admired him very much, so he recommended him to Zhang Chen.
But Zhang Chen is not very fond of this person, because Guan Hu's works are actually more literary and artistic, which is not the same as Xingchen Entertainment.
"Bullfighting" and "Killing" are all his works.
By the way, he and Huang Bo have a good relationship, and they have collaborated on the TV movie "Get in the Car, Let's Go" very early on.
Even though it’s a TV movie, it’s actually pretty good, at least it’s pretty good to watch.
But I don’t know why, but after officially filming a theatrical movie, his works didn’t look good.
Probably to pursue art.
It was because of the failure of "Killing" that Yuan Sora changed his mind and wanted to make commercial films, and made "The Cook, the Actor, the Scoundrel".
The cast is good, Zhang Hanyu, Huang Bo, Liu Ye, the three best actors are acting together on the same stage, but the strange thing is that this movie just doesn't look good.
The reason is still literary and artistic.
So he paid special attention to Guan Hu in the past few days, fearing that this guy would pay him for filming while he was away.
Fortunately, it seems that Guan Hu is not yet young. Zhang Chen asked him to shoot in his own style, so he obeyed and he is still a very qualified tool man.
