Chapter 777 Premiere, the favor Wu Gan owes, departure
On the penultimate day of March, all the eyes of the film and television and entertainment circles turned to the premiere of "Wolf Warrior".
In fact, no one in the production industry has been optimistic about this movie since its establishment.
The reason why it still attracts the attention of many people in the industry is entirely because of its investors - Hongxingwu and Liu Yifei, also known as Lin Nan.
Although many people in the film and television circles are paying attention to "Wolf Warrior", its premiere is still small in scale and there are not many guests.
The reason is that Wu Gan is too inconspicuous.
As an actor he is only a second-tier actor. As a director, he suffered a huge loss in his debut film "Spike".
"Today's premiere of "Wolf Warrior", the biggest celebrities may be the two of us."
Lin Nan looked at Liu Yifei coming down from the second floor and joked.
To suit the occasion, Liu Yifei originally wanted to wear camouflage, but was stopped by Lin Nan, and finally chose a white women's casual suit.
Only in this way can we not only appear sassy, but also distinguish and reflect the temperament and aura of Liu Yifei, an investor and producer.
"Didn't you say that it doesn't matter whether there are big names in the industry or how many people support it? As long as the audience knows "Wolf Warrior"!"
Liu Yifei said to Lin Nan blinked. At this moment, he really mastered his posture to the extreme. It was really fascinating.
"Well, Producer Liu is right. Let's go then?"
Lin Nan extended his hand and invited with a smile.
Liu Yifei picked up her handbag and put her right hand on Lin Nan's hand naturally, "Let's go, Director Lin."
...
The premiere of "Wolf Warrior".
Wu Gan and the crew members arrived very early, with Xie Nan accompanying them.
They had expected the scale of today's premiere, and there wouldn't be many A-listers from the mainland to support it.
"Huang Xiaoming, Zhu Yawen, Shu Chang... the people who came here are basically the connections of Director Lin and Yifei. A few people couldn't miss the time, but they said hello specifically. The rest were replied by the assistant..."< br>
At the entrance of the venue, Xie Nan stood beside Wu Dan and reminded him in a low voice.
"Yes, I know. This is how the entertainment industry is."
Wu Gan nodded. Speaking of which, today there are many more big names in Hong Kong circles coming to support him than first-tier mainland artists. After all, he has been in Hong Kong circles for so many years.
"Hong Jinbao, Liu Zhenwei, Ye Weixin, Zhang Jin, Yam Dahua, Zhong Xintong, Zou Zhaolong..."
Wu Dan was muttering in his mind about the guests from Hong Kong Island. Suddenly, Wu Dan noticed the people coming from a distance.
"Director Lin, Yi Fei, I've been waiting for you."
Xie Nan's reaction was faster than Wu Gan's, and he rushed forward immediately.
"We're not too late, it's only 10 o'clock." Lin Nan emphasized with a smile.
"The crew came early. But you two are investors." Wu Gan retorted with a smile.
"Well, this is the investor, I'm just helping her."
Lin Nan pointed at the somewhat arrogant Liu Yifei, and she rolled her eyes.
"Let's go in. It seems that everyone is here."
Looking around, Liu Yifei said.
She also saw that today would not be too lively because the industry was not optimistic about "Wolf Warrior", but she believed in Lin Nan's judgment.
"Okay, let's go in."
In the venue, although there are not many big names, there are also a lot of people. Lin Nan, Liu Yifei and Guang Guang's reputation can still attract many artists to support Wu Gen.
"Sissi, this way, this way."
Shu Chang was waving from a distance, looking excited. Liu Yifei dragged Lin Nan and walked over with a smile.
To be honest, this is the first time Lin Nan has seen so many Hong Kong filmmakers at a movie premiere in the mainland. He couldn't help feeling a little emotional that Wu Gan's years in Hong Kong were not in vain.
"Director Lin, long time no see."
"Director Lin..."
...
Many Hong Kong filmmakers and artists came to say hello to Lin Nan. Ye Weixin, Zhang Jin, and Zou Zhaolong were the three representatives. They all had interactions with Lin Nan, and he would not refuse anyone who came.
Now that the Hong Kong film industry is in decline, these Hong Kong filmmakers and artists also understand that the market is on the mainland.
After chatting with Shu Chang and Zhu Yawen for a while, Liu Yifei was greeted by Xie Nan and went to the back. As a producer, she is ready to go on stage with the crew.
"Where do you think the box office of this "Wolf Warrior" will be? After all, it is also a movie invested by your family Yifei!"
Wang Changtian came to Lin Nan's side , started chatting.
When Ray released Wolf Warriors before, they paid a fixed price of 10 million! Because Wang Changtian never expected "Wolf Warrior" to reach a box office of 100 million.
"Isn't it a bit redundant to ask this now? It will be released the day after tomorrow. Mr. Wang, just watch it slowly."
Lin Nan didn't have the heart to attack Wang Changtian, so he should let him pay attention to the box office data.
The stage has already started, my dear, the host is really Xie Nan!
Wu Gen took the microphone and thanked Liu Yifei for his investment and reviewed his ups and downs in becoming a director.
When Xie Nan asked Liu Yifei as the host why he invested in "Wolf Warrior", everyone originally thought that Liu Yifei, the producer, would give a high-sounding reason.
But the result was different. Liu Yifei’s answer made everyone present stunned, and then burst into laughter.
Because she asked Xie Nan directly and naively: "Didn't you ask me for investment? Why are you still asking me?"
Lin Nan was a little embarrassed. Liu Yifei always behaves like this in interviews. , say whatever you want, very straightforward and naive!
It wasn’t until the movie was ready to play that Liu Yifei hurried back to her seat with an awkward smile on her face.
“Don’t laugh at me.”
She glared at Lin Nan and warned in a low voice.
"Okay, I won't laugh, haha..."
On the big screen, "Wolf Warrior" officially begins.
Although they had already watched it once, Lin Nan and Liu Yifei still had the patience to watch it again. "Wu Gan is quite busy right now?"
Wang Changtian glanced in Wu Gan's direction and joked.
Lin Nan also glanced at it. Wu Wan was whispering to the director of Hong Kong Island, not knowing what he was talking about.
The one-and-a-half-hour movie ended quickly. Amidst a round of applause, the crew and Liu Yifei returned to the stage again. What I faced this time was interviews from the media.
"First of all, thank you all for coming today and supporting "Wolf Warrior". Next, friends from the media can ask questions, and we will tell you everything we know."
Wu Gen is rare and gentle. He stood up and made an inviting gesture to the media box with a smile. The reporters immediately became rude.
“Can I ask Yifei?”
"Okay." Liu Yifei nodded.
"Military-themed movies have never been competitive at the box office in the film market. If, I mean if, if you lose this time, will you regret investing in "Wolf Warrior"?"
< br>Liu Yifei raised the microphone and straightened her thoughts:
“Let’s not talk about compensation or not. It hasn’t been released yet. I believe that "Wolf Warrior" is excellent. Even if it is The box office is not ideal, but I will not regret it. I will continue to invest in movies in the future.”
At this point, Liu Yifei also glanced at Wu Gen and Xie Nan. , smiled and added:
"If the box office is good, I'm still waiting for Director Wu Pan to make another movie. We have even agreed on the investment."
Hearing Liu Yifei's words, Wu Pan immediately laughed. Nodding: "Thank you Yifei and Director Lin for your trust. If it is a hit at the box office, I will definitely make a sequel!"
The media obviously did not expect Liu Yifei to be so "straight" and so calm. Talking about the topic of "unsatisfactory box office". For a while, I really couldn't think of any other tricky questions, so I had to give up on her in the end, and instead pointed the "spearhead" at Wu Gan and other main creators.
"Director Wu Pan, what do you think of your directing skills..."
......
As a cross-industry director, and one who had already lost one movie, Wu Gan faced round after round of tough problems, but he could only bear them head on.
As it approached 12 noon, the premiere of "Wolf Warrior" was finally over.
The luncheon time, which is also the social and entertainment session, officially begins.
Lin Nan, Liu Yifei, Shu Chang, Zhu Yawen and others sat around a table, not planning to socialize because they were not needed.
Huang Xiaoming is different. From time to time he goes around the field to broaden and maintain his network.
"What's going on today? I feel like those people in Hong Kong have been chatting with Wu Gan, as if they have something serious to do. Now there's Xie Nan?"
Zhu Yawen is the successor king After Tsuneta, the second curious one.
Lin Nan looked in the direction of Zhu Yawen's gaze, and sure enough, he saw Liu Zhenwei and his group chatting animatedly with Wu Dan and Xie Nan.
"At most, there is some cooperation. Let's eat first. Today's expenses are all paid for by our producer Liu."
Lin Nan was holding vegetables and joking. got up. Liu Yifei couldn't help laughing when she heard this. She didn't refute because it was indeed paid for by Hongxingwu!
Not long after, Wu Dan and Xie Nan came over.
"Director Lin, come on, I have to offer you a toast."
Before Lin Nan could speak, the wine in Wu Quan's glass had already been consumed.
"You guys are very busy today. I think you've been chatting with me over there?" Lin Nan asked curious questions for the people around him.
“Hey, I thought something was wrong.”
Wu Gan smiled and replied: "I owe a lot of favors in the Hong Kong industry. No, Director Liu is preparing for a new movie to be shot in the second half of the year. Looking for..."
"Looking for Wu Gan He has agreed to take me with him to act in a new movie." Xie Nan took Wu Gan's words and explained.
“You guessed it right, what a cooperation!” Zhu Yawen joked.
I didn’t ask too many questions, and the few of them just had lunch like this. It was just that there were too many people in the circle who came to say hello and make connections from time to time, which affected the meal.
…………
The next morning, the news of the premiere of "Wolf Warrior" was still on the headlines. The big words "Produced by Liu Yifei" are extremely conspicuous.
At this time, Lin Nan and Liu Yifei were already packing their bags and preparing to leave for the airport.
The assistants and bodyguards loaded the suitcases into the car one by one. There were quite a few suitcases. After all, the filming lasted for two months.
"The hotel address chartered by the crew has been sent to all the actors, and they will set off on their own. In addition, Wang Baoqiang, Xiao Yang, and Chen He are already there now..."
< br>The movement of luggage in the living room did not disturb Lin Nan, who was answering Yue Jun's call.
"You guys should keep an eye on the company's affairs. Director Xue will talk to you about the new movie in two days. From script submission to project approval and casting, you must cooperate with her in everything. After that..."
" No problem. Director Lin, is it the sequel to "Love in Seattle"?" Yue Jun asked.
“Well, yes.”
“Available roles? Director Xue wants to use the original cast?”
This reminded Lin Nan that Xue Xiaolu seemed to have She said she wanted to use the original cast. If this is the case, then Yang Mi is involved!
"When it's time to choose the casting, let me know."
"Okay, Director Lin."
After more than half an hour, all the luggage was packed.
Wearing slim jeans, a floral top, and black casual boots, Liu Yifei came out of the room on the second floor, followed by Liu Xiaoli, who was still giving instructions.
Looking at Lin Nan in the living room, Miss Liu shouted: "Lin Nan, we can go."
"I'm just waiting for you."
After Lin Nan responded, he looked at Liu Xiaoli: "Mom, Sissi and I are going to set off?"
"Well, take care of yourself over there. After work, you two should go out for a vacation and travel," Liu Xiaoli warned with a loving smile.
......
As it approaches 12 noon, the headlines of film and television entertainment information are updated.
It was the news that Lin Nan and Liu Yifei appeared at the airport with a group of assistants and bodyguards, and there were many photos.
"In the morning, Director Lin Nan and Liu Yifei showed up at the airport, accompanied by eight people and carrying several suitcases..."
"It is reported that Director Lin and Liu Yifei will take the flight Heading to Bangkok's Chinatown...Director Lin Nan's first comedy film "Detective Chinatown" is about to start shooting! The crew members have arrived or departed one after another."
