Chapter 982: Plumpness is the beauty of the prosperous Tang Dynasty; human interference in film arrangement
"In the morning, more than a dozen film and television companies including China Film, Xinghui, Wanda, Huayi, Alibaba Pictures, Hengdian, Xiangshan, and Dadi Cinemas Giants, issued a joint announcement:
Written by Zhou Xingchi and directed by Xu Ke, the large-scale magical action comedy film "Journey to the West: Conquering the Demons" is officially scheduled for the Spring Festival of 2017, and will continue to write the legend of "Journey to the West"..."
"Wu Yifan, Lin Gengxin, Yao Chen, Lin Yun, Bao Bei'er, Wang Likun and others forwarded the announcement of the release date of "Journey to the West: Conquering the Demons" to meet the fans and fans during the Spring Festival."
< br>……
On the Internet, the popularity of the first sister of the Tang Dynasty’s wedding yesterday just overturned the Hundred Flowers Awards. Unexpectedly, I turned around and was hit by "Journey to the West: Conquering the Demons".
No way, with so many film and television giants coupled with the cooperation of Zhou Xingchi, Xu Ke, Wu Yifan and others, no piece of entertainment information can shake its top spot in the search list.
It’s just that this year’s Spring Festival has just passed for more than a month, so the impatient behavior of “Journey to the West: Conquering the Demons” and heading straight to next year’s Spring Festival seems too clear-cut.
The producers' absolute confidence in the movie and their looming ambitions for the box office market can be said to be extremely naked!
The audition selection for "The Legend of the Demon Cat" seems to have officially begun;
Many Hong Kong and Taiwan actors and actresses, as well as actors from Southeast Asia, Japan and South Korea, have been reported by the media to come to the mainland for auditions, and photos have been leaked from the Capital Airport to confirm it.
On the other hand, I don’t know who leaked the news that Liu Yifei had read the script but declined "The Legend of the Demon Cat", which spread to a small extent in the industry.
As a result, for most of the morning, the phone calls at Hongxingwu were almost buzzing, and the company was also crowded with media reporters; I guess the scene at Shengkai Pictures was about the same.
After all, Liu Yifei's star position is there, and "Legend of the Demon Cat" is Chen Kaige's movie. The human nature, slap in the face, and anger... How could the paparazzi not be excited and excited? Of course It’s a rush!
But faced with this situation, Shengkai Pictures and Hongxingwu obviously have a tacit understanding: ignore, do not respond, and ignore the media and rumors.
Because both parties know that Director Chen is a person who wants face and respectability, and with this face and respectability, Lin Nan and Liu Yifei are naturally willing to help him "keep" it and cover it up;
They can't really let him appear in the media It’s embarrassing for the industry, right?
Imagine that the Palme d'Or director, who is usually aloof and always putting on airs, was dumped and refuted by Liu Yifei, a junior. If you say this, it will hurt your self-esteem and image. What does it have to do with killing him? the difference?
Shengkai Pictures.
Zhang Ziyi, wearing Tang makeup, was doing her best to "perform"; but Chen Kaige's frown made her very uneasy.
After the two auditions, Wang Huiling, Chen Hong and others all looked at Chen Kaige, waiting for him to speak. The same goes for Zhang Ziyi, who is a little nervous.
"Director Chen?" Zhang Ziyi asked softly after a long time.
At this time, Chen Kaige finally spoke; he looked at Zhang Ziyi and commented: "I know your acting skills, I know; but your external conditions It is indeed very influential. The two characters you auditioned for are both adult women, but women in the prosperous Tang Dynasty regarded plumpness as beauty..."
The phrase "plumpness is beauty" can be regarded as Zhang Ziyi's biggest flaw He came out and gave her a tactful reply.
Some things can never be compensated by acting skills; even if you have just given birth to a child, if your foundation is too poor, it is too bad.
For a moment, Zhang Ziyi's eyes became much gloomier, but she still tried to smile, "Thank you Director Chen and Producer Chen, I understand."
"Well, there will be opportunities in the future. ."
After Chen Kaige nodded, Chen Hong said something comforting.
More than ten seconds later, Zhang Ziyi walked out of the audition room and was immediately greeted by two assistants.
"Let's go, let's talk after we get in the car."
Zhang Ziyi, with a "confident" smile on her face, whispered without letting anyone outside notice her abnormality.
The three of them left Shengkai Pictures. Amidst the flashes of numerous media lenses, before they could reach the RV, they saw a luxurious car slowly stopping;
Fan Bingbing, wearing high heels, a floral waist-cinching dress, sunglasses, heavy makeup, and long hair shawl, appeared in front of everyone.
The two top A-list actresses met each other and instantly made a judgment; neither of them spoke, they just nodded politely to each other and then passed each other.
Before getting in the car, Zhang Ziyi couldn't help but glance at Fan Bingbing's back... that butt, that breast, that face, she had to admit that in terms of external conditions, this "bitch" was indeed amazing.
"Sister Ziyi?"
"Let's drive. I failed the audition, so I have to find resources for a comeback." Zhang Ziyi said coldly.
......
For "Marriage Story" Lin Nan plans to carefully select the actors after the script has been reviewed.
There is no need to think about this year’s three major film festivals, because even for Venice in September, registrations have already started during this time.
So, Lin Nan and Liu Yifei plan to take "Marriage Story" to the three major European film festivals next year.
As for which one to choose, Lin Nan plans to wait until the filming is finalized before making a decision, and it must be carefully considered and considered.
"The daily box office of "The Mermaid" dropped from 1.45 million to 820,000. La Peikang had someone notify Shanghai Film Studio to prepare for a celebration banquet."
Lin Nan was working at home. While drawing the storyboard, Ren Zhonglun called me.
The 15% share of "Mermaid" earned Shanghai Film more than 200 million, but it also made Shanghai Film a lot of fun in the industry.
Because Ren Zhonglun felt that the budget of 300 million yuan for a comedy movie was too high, and the news about voluntarily "shrinking" was spread. Maybe, maybe, there is a high probability that the news came from China Film.
"Then make preparations, you don't have to wait until the screening."
Lin Nan touched Xiao Hei squatting on the desk, put down his pen, and started chatting with Ren Zhonglun.
Chairman Ren Da didn't just call because of the "Mermaid" celebration party. He mainly wanted to talk to Lin Linnan about another "mischief" incident. "Is it scheduled?"
"Well, it has just been scheduled. Take a look."
Hearing this, Lin Nan immediately clicked on the news page on the computer next to him, and sure enough.
"Co-produced by China Star and Bona Pictures, with a production value of up to 500 million yuan, the large-scale mythological epic "Legend of the Gods" will officially announce its summer release on July 29."
"China Star Chairman Xiang Qiang said: "Legend of the Gods" has invested a lot of special effects production funds, and the film quality is not inferior to "The Secret of the Dragon", and the total box office will be 2 billion+ or even higher; Chairman Bona said in Dong updated Weibo..."
Lin Nan saw Xiang Yiqiang's... it could be regarded as a "declaration", and he was quite eloquent and brave enough to say it. Yu Dong also shouted slogans, claiming that he would maximize the distribution intensity.
“So, what does Director Ren want to say?” Lin Nan had a vague guess, because Ren Zhonglun hinted at it once last time.
“Didn’t Xiang Qiang and his wife scold the box office fraud of “The Mermaid” on Weibo before, but you found it disgusting and didn’t want to touch it, so why don’t you ask me for my opinion?”
“Yes, I remember your original words were: 'Ignore it, if the dog bites you, why don't you go up and retaliate? ', I even joked that this is not your style, Mr. Ren."
"Well, Don’t we just have to wait until their movie is scheduled?" Ren Zhonglun sneered.
"Then?"
"On the China Film side, La Peikang is a 'sanctimonious' person, and Yu Dong is from China Film... I can't say whether China Film will cause trouble, but the theater chain under Shanghai Film Group As well as taking a stake in the theater chain, haha, I have the final say!"
Good guy, Lin Nan was shocked when he heard this.
Ren Zhonglun does have a great advantage, but it also has a disadvantage, that is, he can break the rules for the sake of personal friendships and grudges.
The former is like Jackie Chan’s problem, and the latter is like the current “artificial” intervention in film arrangement!
From a selfish perspective, to be honest, Lin Nan couldn't criticize Ren Zhonglun because he was a person with vested interests.
"Why, are you scared? Just think it's a joke. Anyway, it's the result of 'self-regulation of the market'. Haha..."
"I just pretended not to hear anything. Yes, Xiao Hei didn't hear it." Lin Nan responded with a smile.
"Xiao Hei? Who is it?"
"Yifei's cat."
"You, you are so boring, hang up."
Looking at the screen of the phone where the call was hung up, Lin Nan smiled silently, picked up the pencil again, "Keep working."< br>
In less than two minutes, Liu Yifei's voice came from downstairs: "Lin Nan, lunch is here, come down quickly..."
"Okay, right away."
……
"Her figure, appearance, and acting skills all meet the requirements."
"I know, I knew it when I was filming "The Orphan of Zhao." But she is so beautiful that she shouldn't be This is not the feeling I particularly want.”
Chen Kaige is a little unwilling. Now Fan Bingbing may have all the conditions suitable for Concubine Yang, but with him, there is just a lack of expectation and surprise. Feeling;
The most important thing is that Fan Bingbing can't see that relatively "pure" feeling.
"If she can't do it, then it's really hard to choose, and it will be difficult to find the next one, right?" Wang Huiling joked, muttering to herself that the most suitable candidates had declined.
"Let's wait and see. If it's suitable, even a small actor will do!"
Chen Kaige said decisively, and the assistant was already reminding him that lunch time was here.
......
Time passes day by day, Lin Nan and Liu Yifei stay at home; the former draws storyboards, while the latter reads scripts, writes biographies, and comes to ask their great director for advice from time to time... …
As for the outside world, the casting process for "The Founding of an Army" seems to have been completed.
Although China Film intends to keep it secret, the casting list has indeed been leaked to the industry; there are so many young idols in the core roles, it’s just nonsense!
As for the news that Zhang Ziyi failed to audition for "Legend of the Demon Cat" and was written off on the spot, and will not be able to make a comeback in the film directed by Chen Da, it has become a source of laughter and conversation in the industry;
Once International Chapter, that is, she went to give birth to a child for Wang Banbi. How could she fall behind? !
In the blink of an eye, it’s the 25th of the month.
The fact that LeTV Pictures held a general meeting of shareholders today has been on Weibo hot searches and film and television headlines since early in the morning.
The most important thing is that the celebrities and celebrity shareholders who appear in the reporter's lens are really big names, almost all of them are popular first- and second-tier people;
Among them, Zhang Yimou, one of the top directors and national teachers in the country, is the most important. Steal the spotlight.
After all, people are afraid of comparison. What was director Zhang Da like when he was following Zhang Weiping, and what is he like now? Aren't those just two levels?
Zhang Yimou, who appeared in the camera at this moment, looked much more energetic and much younger than before!
