Chapter 269 Praise for Fan Xiaopang
The press conference continued, reporters kept asking questions, and one of them asked about the concept of co-production.
The co-production film has actually been around for a long time.
The first co-produced film in China was "Kite" co-produced by China and France in 1958, and "Shaolin Temple" co-produced by China and Hong Kong, which sold a box office of 140 million, which was incredible.
You know, the per capita GDP at that time was less than 1,000 yuan.
There is a precedent for Sino-US co-production, but it was just a cartoon called "Nezha and Transformers". Just hearing the name will ruin your childhood.
It seems that in the 1990s, there was "Monkey King vs. Transformers", which was the same way.
When I was young, I thought there was no way Transformers could defeat Sun Wukong. Hum, Sun Wukong’s golden cudgel alone weighs 13,500 kilograms.
When I grew up, I realized that thirteen thousand five hundred kilograms only weighs six or seven tons, which is nothing to a machine alien life.
At this time, I was worried about Brother Monkey.
On the other side, the reporter was interviewing Fan Xiaopang.
"Can you tell me whether you are Director Zhang's queen actor? We noticed that this is the third time Director Zhang has collaborated with you..."
Faced with such a question, Fan Xiaopang's face was filled with a smile.
“The original "Shark Beach" came from a strange fate, and the later "Eden Lake" was Director Zhang's recognition of my acting skills. As for this time, it was probably because Director Zhang felt that "Eden Lake" "I haven't met the domestic audience, so I made it up to me..."
Fan Xiaopang started talking nonsense, and he made it up to you. It's obviously a reward for unlocking new postures, okay?
Zhang Chen complained in his heart. At this time, the reporter's camera turned around, and Director Zhang immediately put on a smile: "Binbin is a very good actor. I was actually a little worried before, fearing that Western audiences would not accept her.
< br>You know, there are still some differences between Western aesthetics and Eastern aesthetics.
But after "Eden Lake", this worry disappeared.
She used her acting skills and beauty. You may not know that after conquering Hollywood, Binbin is now very popular in the West.
Speaking of this, I actually want to thank Ms. Zhang Ziyi. It was her withdrawal that allowed me to explore this field. Opportunity for beautiful jade.
"A Quiet Place" is a series. I believe Binbin's popularity will further increase in the future, and my next few movies will feature her..."
Wow~
< br>Not only was the media shocked, but Fan Xiaopang was also surprised.
The amount of information in this paragraph was really understandable.
The grudge between him and Zhang Ziyi is understandable. , after all, Zhang Ziyi rejected Zhang Chen and chose Spielberg's "Memoirs of a Geisha". I'm afraid even a director would feel uncomfortable
But what he said next was surprising.
General directors will not let themselves be overly bound to a certain actress. Firstly, the reputation will be bad, and secondly, it will also affect the casting of the movie.
But Zhang Chen said so without any hesitation.
This is equivalent to a public announcement that Fan Binbin will be favored in the future. Everyone knows that Fan Binbin is prosperous~
……
Somewhere in the capital, Zhang Ziyi's home.
Having just returned from overseas, she happened to be watching the press conference, and felt uncomfortable when she heard Zhang Chen's words.
Since his debut, Zhang Chen has been making rapid progress, and anyone can see Zhang Chen’s development momentum.
No smart person would want to offend such a director.
Zhang Ziyi regrets the way she handled it. If she had been more diplomatic, maybe she wouldn't be in the situation she is now.
Among the new generation, she is the most comfortable overseas.
Gong Li is old.
But Fan Binbin's rise made her feel dangerous.
"Shark Beach" and "Eden Lake" were consecutive hits in North America, and Fan Binbin has threatened her status.
For Americans, they don’t need Zhang Ziyi, but they need an Asian female face.
This woman can be Zhang Ziyi or Fan Binbin. In Hollywood, business performance matters most.
She herself relied on "Rush Hour 2" to get up, and now Fan Binbin is not inferior to her at all, and even with Zhang Chen's support, it is only a matter of time before he catches up with her thing.
She does not have the support of a big director behind her.
No, the situation cannot be allowed to worsen, she must save herself.
She must find influential works as soon as possible and try to repair her relationship with Zhang Chen.
There is an old saying that goes well, as long as the hoe is wielded well, there is no corner that cannot be dug down.
Get Zhang Chen again and try to win the heroine of his next movie.
Xiao Shenyang calls this 'walking other people's paths and leaving others with nowhere to go. ’
Xiaoshenyang is not popular yet, and Zhang Ziyi doesn’t know this statement yet, but she can already do it.
If you can take away Zeng Li's luck, you can also take away Fan Xiaopang's luck. Isn't that what "My Father and Mother" does?
……
Huayi Brothers
In Wang Zhongjun’s office, several people’s faces were ashen.
For a moment, no one wanted to talk.
No one expected that Xingchen Entertainment, which was shouting and killing two days ago, would become a star company sought after by the whole people overnight.
All of this is because they have received favor from Hollywood film companies.
"What the hell, it seems we can only let them dance around for a few more days~" Wang Zhongjun, who rarely uses swear words, couldn't help but curse.
Wang Zhonglei and Feng Xiaogang next to them were not much better.
I originally thought that this wave would kill Xingchen Entertainment directly, or at least severely damage his vitality, but I didn't expect that things would turn around.
Not only did Xingchen Entertainment not suffer any loss, but its reputation increased greatly.
When it comes to private film and television companies now, I am afraid everyone will think that it is Star Entertainment and they have nothing to do with Huayi Brothers.
This is serious!
The Wang brothers have always wanted to go public and become the first stock in a private film and television company.
Then the title of leading private film and television company is very important. If it is not the leading one, why should you be the first stockholder?
Now the rise of Star Entertainment has affected their listing plan.
But there is nothing they can do for the time being. Unless their collaboration "A Quiet Place" hits the streets, Star Entertainment's golden reputation will not be broken.
Given Zhang Chen’s expertise in thrillers, could “A Quiet Place” be a blockbuster?
"Xiaogang, it seems that we can only count on your "Night Banquet"..."
After thinking about it, only by defeating Xingchen Entertainment head-on can we regain the title of the leading company. Number.
The Wang brothers have high hopes for "The Night Banquet", but Feng Xiaogang's vision is not that long-term. He pays more attention to immediate interests.
Suddenly slapped his thigh: "Oh no, the share of "Hurricane Rescue"~"
After he reminded him, the Wang brothers also reacted and regretted it.
Before, they felt that Xingchen Entertainment had offended the General Administration and might be over.
Even the movie "Taken" may not be released, so I sold out my share at a low price.
But looking at the current situation, how could anything happen? Then wouldn’t their share be at a huge loss?
At this time, someone thought of calling Lao Li, but the call was no longer available.
