Chapter 272: Taking the bait or not
Lu Zheng and Jing Tian left. Chen Xi, who had witnessed the whole process, came over curiously: "What are you going to do? Will you accept this pie-in-the-sky opportunity... ..."
She has been a producer and knows how many ways the crew can make money.
Lu Zheng said that he would pay for all the money and was not responsible for anything. This is simply tempting people to commit crimes.
If Zhang Chen is willing, she can operate it as she pleases. Zhang Chen can make a lot of money just from the production fee.
Zhang Chen smiled bitterly~
My heart is moved or not, of course I am.
But he still has a lot of movies to make, such as "A Quiet Place", "Painted Skin", "Taken 2", "Rampage"...
What he expected There is a long list of films that could be scheduled for several years if they were to be filmed, and they are all big productions.
Big productions are definitely not suitable for Jing Tian. She simply cannot bear it. Even if Jing Tian is not afraid of compensation, he still cares about his reputation.
"We'll see when the time comes. I want to earn this money, but it's probably impossible to shoot it myself. If I don't have the time, the best I can do is write a script and find someone else to shoot it. Let's see if she agrees."
It's just that That's it.
Of course he has the script. Picking one at random and praising an actress should be no problem. It’s not like just saying it will lead to success.
If it doesn’t work, TV series will work too. Isn’t “Si Teng” Jing Tian’s famous work?
As has been proven by later generations, it should be no problem if it is done a few years in advance.
...
A few days later, it was mid-June, a full month before "Stone" was released.
The promotion of the movie has started early. The first trailer has been released and the response has been pretty good.
China Film is responsible for distribution.
Yuan Kong, "Stone" is Han Sanping's favorite project, and it will be the same in this life.
Han is very happy to see outstanding young directors emerging in China, which proves that the domestic film industry is developing.
The most popular movie these days is "Initial D", Brother Wheel's movie, which has just been released.
This film has a very average reputation, but it did well at the box office.
Zhang Chen remembers that the final price seemed to be more than 60 million, which was very impressive and ranked among the top ten of the year.
The more than 60 million yuan was basically contributed by Jay Chou's fans. It was the idol's first appearance on the screen.
In fact, it is a fan movie, no different from the later "Far Cry" and "Tiny Times".
Zhang Chen took Ning Hao on several talk shows. The early publicity for "Stone" was good, and the film critics and media invited to the screenings played a key role.
Amidst the overwhelming publicity of "Initial D", "The Stone" still maintains a certain degree of popularity. Many people are curious about "The Stone" and are waiting for the day it will be released.
……
Huayi Brothers
Wang Zhonglei yelled angrily from the office: "What, Huang Xiaoming didn't sign the contract, why didn't he sign the contract?"
Artist director Li Xue frowned and said: "He didn't say why, but I guess it may be with Xingchen Entertainment It's related. It is said that Huang Xiaoming is the male protagonist of Zhang Chen's new play "Painted Skin", and Mr. Zhou must have the same reason. She also rejected us..."
Wang Zhonglei frowned when he heard that he was related to Zhang Chen.
It seems this is Star Entertainment’s revenge.
I didn’t feel it a few days ago, but in the past few days, artists who had previously negotiated with them have chosen not to sign contracts with them, and Mr. and Mrs. Wang finally came to their senses.
Could it be that Zhang Chen was behind the acquisition of shares in the past two days?
Thinking of this, the Wang brothers felt a twinge of physical pain.
They actually sold the share of "Taken" at a low price.
The attitudes of several celebrities who had previously discussed joining Huayi were all ambiguous, and some even rejected them outright.
This made Huayi, who thought he could safely survive the celebrity crisis, become very anxious.
"During this period, all resources are mainly focused on Li Binbin..." Li Lianhua is now Huayi's most powerful brand. Li Xue agreed on the surface, as if he was aware of it.
If Mr. Zhou hadn’t reneged on the agreement, the first sister’s treatment would never have been extended to her elder sister Li Lianhua.
What the big and small kings don’t know is that the only one in their family, Li Lianhua, is also thinking about changing jobs.

America, New Line Company
Fan Binbin arrived at New Line and met Pete and Jason.
"Welcome, beautiful Fan..."
Pitt came up to give Sister Jiuyi a hug: "You were at the airport just now, you should have met your fans, right?"< br>
Fan Xiaopang smiled and nodded: "Yes, very enthusiastic, but those should be arranged by you."
When Fan Xiaopang came out of the airport, he was surprised to find that a movie fan was picking him up.
Pete shook his head: "No, Fan, of course we have arrangements, but you underestimate your popularity in the United States. After "Shark Beach" and "Eden Lake", you already have a number of regular "Fans, don't look at this small group of fans, fans of horror movies are very loyal..."
"Really?" Fan Xiaopang was surprised, she thought those were the trustees arranged by New Line for her. , but now it sounds like that’s not the case.
“Of course, I swear to God, you are no weaker than Zhang in the United States, but Zhang’s new movie is very powerful, it is Spielberg’s work, and it will be released in November, but you also Don't worry, Steve said "A Quiet Place" around that time, and he seems to want you to meet head-on..."
Fan Xiaopang nodded, knowing that the chapter Peter was talking about was Zhang Ziyi.
I also know Zhang Chen's resentment towards Zhang Ziyi.
Speaking of which, I still want to thank others. If Zhang Ziyi hadn't let Zhang Chen go, how would I have gotten the chance?
"Okay, let's not talk about this anymore. Let Jason take you to familiarize yourself with the environment. We will get down to business starting tomorrow."
"A Quiet Place" is a co-production. According to the agreement between the two parties, although the film is an American story, it was shot in China.
Of course, except for Fan Xiaopang, the other main actors are all from Hollywood.
The male lead is Jason Statham, and several other child actors were also selected from here.
Fan Xiaopang came here this time to get acquainted with several child actors in advance, otherwise the feelings between mother and child would not be able to be expressed.
Speaking of which, the selection of these young actors also took a lot of effort, because they were required to have mixed-race characteristics. After all, one of the male and female protagonists is Asian and the other is European, so the child must be mixed-race.
In addition to this, all people must learn sign language.
Little actors need to learn, Fan Xiaopang and Jason also need to learn.
The story background of "A Quiet Place" dictates that all actors can only communicate through sign language.
And because the story takes place in the United States, they learned American Sign Language.
Fan Xiaopang initially thought that sign languages all over the world were the same, but in fact they were not.
Each country has its own sign language, which is different from each other. Even within the Commonwealth, where everyone speaks English, the sign language of each country is different.
The learning process is also a process of building relationships with the children. Zhang Chen requires that all communications should be done in sign language during the period when they are familiar with each other. Only in this way can the photos appear natural during filming.
Fan Xiaopang learned very quickly. When he almost learned sign language, he would have to return to China.
Because she had to attend the premiere of "Crazy Stone".
