Chapter 996 was overtaken by Lou Ye; first collaboration
The next morning, Jet Li, who had not been seen in China for a long time, appeared at the promotional conference of "Legend of the Gods";
So much so that the first media meeting after the film was finalized attracted the attention of the entire film industry, the media industry, and even the entire Internet.
But what made the public even more hotly debated, even shocked and incredible was:
When Yu Dong, Xiang Jiasan, Liang Jiahui, Fan Bingbing, Huang Xiaoming, Louis Koo and others were touting the movie, Jet Li suddenly Very seriously taking the topic astray;
At the movie's promotional conference, he directly talked about politics and his stance, and the content was full of "there is no three hundred taels of silver here" and "confused" illusion?
“When I went abroad at the age of 11, I began to come into contact with the values that have influenced my life—we must safeguard the dignity and territorial integrity of the country in everything we do...
A long time ago, When I was very young, someone came to me and said: Have you heard of Mr. Xiang? Their story and family are quite legendary and controversial...
Here, I can use myself. I can vouch for their character and tell everyone that they are very patriotic! I can only say this much, and I can’t go into too much detail..."
Media at the press conference of "Legend of the Gods" and the guests were completely confused by this "Kung Fu Emperor";
All the main creators were talking about the movie, but he was the only one who kept saying good things about Xiang Jia and his wife's character, outlook on life and patriotism throughout the whole process.
This scene falls in the field of vision of the camera and the guests, giving people the feeling that Jet Li and others are completely separated and are not on the same channel!
At early 10 o'clock in the morning, when Lin Nan turned on the news, the Internet was filled with reports of "The Chinese star is back! Jet Li supports Xiang Qiang and his wife", and a large number of melon-eating netizens expressed their disapproval of this "Kung Fu Emperor" " Complaints;
Said that he was washing the ground, said that he believed in religion and demons, was confused, was nervous, had forgotten his roots long ago, and engaged in unscrupulous charity business, and his luck backfired...
"Okay Guy, is this sick look getting worse? Jackie Chan is 9 years older than him, and Brother Hua is two years older than him, but these two are very energetic, and there is no trace of old age;
Looking at this man again, he looks like a deflated rubber ball. He is old, wrinkled, and still depressed. He really looks like a little old man! "
Lin Nan watched the graphic live broadcast on the Internet and couldn't help complaining. The next second, he remembered another thing:
"Hey, it seems that something was said online some time ago , Li Lianjie also opened an international Tai Chi health organization with Jack Ma? "
"Lin Nan, Brother Xun is coming soon. I'll pick her up. "At this time, Liu Yifei's voice came, interrupting Lin Nan's train of thought.
He looked up and saw that Miss Liu had already changed her clothes and was coming downstairs:
< br>
On the feet are black canvas shoes, and on the lower body are whitened straight jeans with cartoon patterns printed on the trouser legs that are rolled up to expose the white ankles;
And the upper body is a pure white bottoming shirt, covered with a dark denim shirt, eh , unbuttoned.
“You look really casual, natural and good-looking.
But since she’s coming soon, why do I need you to pick her up?” Lin Nan handed Liu Yifei’s sunglasses to her. He asked her curiously.
“She said she couldn’t come empty-handed and asked me to go to the mall with her to pick something, hehe.”
Liu Yifei smoothed her shawl-length hair, put on her sunglasses, and said with a smile.
How could Lin Nan not hear it? It was clearly asking Liu Yifei to go out for a walk and then the two of them would come back together.
"It's up to you, drive slower on the road."
"Okay, we will order lunch when we come back."
"Yeah."
After watching Liu Yifei stride out of the villa, Lin Nan continued to read the news, and soon heard the roar of a sports car.
......
The premiere of "Xuan Zang of the Tang Dynasty" is over, and next is the premiere of "Love in Seattle 2" the day after tomorrow.
Also released on the same day on the 29th is "Dream Partner" starring Yao Chen, Tang Yan, Hao Lei, Aaron Kwok, Li Chen and others;
This movie looks like It is a youth inspirational film directed by a South Korean director, but Xue Xiaolu did not pay attention to it.
At 11 o'clock in the morning, after nearly a month of casting, the cast list of "The Legend of the Demon Cat" was finally announced by Shengkai Pictures.
The eyes of countless people in the film and television industry were instantly directed towards:
"Co-produced by Xinli, Shengkai Films, Kadokawa Pictures Co., Ltd., and Emperor Films, directed by Chen Kaige The directing, costume, suspense, and fantasy masterpiece "The Legend of the Demon Cat" officially announced the cast list:
The popular mainland niche player Huang Xuan will partner with the young Japanese actor Shota Sometani to start the legend of "The Ghost Banquet of the Tang Dynasty"; Zhang Yuqi, Zhang Rongrong, Abe Hiroshi, Ou Hao, Liu Haoran, Liu Peiqi, Matsuzaka Keiko, Xin Baiqing and other dozens of Chinese and Japanese actors participated in the starring..."
"Producer Chen Hong said in an interview with the media: " "Legend of the Demon Cat" will be launched in August at the latest. Director Chen Kaige has led a team to Xiangyang Tangcheng Film and Television Base today. All staff will spend two to three months preparing for the film's launch and doing all the preliminary work. Preparation work..."
Huayi.
Although Feng Xiaogang had been mentally prepared, the pressure at this moment still made him feel faintly suffocated.
The 1.05 billion obtained in advance through gambling is like taking a "drug". After the body is excited, there is infinite emptiness and burden.
His movie project must be done one after another. It’s okay if there is no problem in the middle. Once there is a problem, it will be a “big problem”!
"Zhang Yimou's movies, Lin Nan's movies, Chen Kaige's movies, Jiang Wen's movies... This year, next year and even the year after, in the rapidly developing and prosperous film market, it is completely foreseeable that the tragedy and bloodshed will Competition! Xiaogang, how are the preparations for your new play going? ”
Looking at Feng Xiaogang who was a little distracted, Wang Zhongjun asked.
"Well, is it a new play? I have made a selection and selected Yan Geling's novel that has just been written but has not yet been published and is currently being refined. She also agreed and will personally come over to be the screenwriter. "
Feng Xiaogang replied. Under a gambling contract, filming is fast-paced and the market must be considered, which will inevitably make it difficult to choose themes and scripts.
In this case, novels by great screenwriters and well-known writers are the top priority.
Although "I'm Not Pan Jinlian" has not yet been released, he is already thinking about his next movie. This is the "pressure", "motivation" and "betting" that this double-edged sword brings to him. trouble"!
"Well, it's all settled. In addition, since you have decided to compete for awards, don't miss any awards. Prepare for this year's Golden Horse, next year's Golden Rooster, and "I'm Not Pan Jinlian"."
" Okay.”
……
One tall and one short, Liu Yifei and Zhou Xun came back wearing sunglasses and carrying a lot of snacks. And the person who delivered the food at the restaurant happened to arrive with the two of them.
While the dishes were being arranged and served, Zhou Xun dragged Liu Yifei into the wine room, this female drunkard!
"Director Lin, please be patient, we will leave first."
"Well, thank you."
As soon as Lin Nan sent a few people to the door, there was a call on his cell phone on the table. The phone number and the note only have two words: Gong Li.
Before Zhou Xun mentioned "Marriage Story" yesterday, that is, the morning before yesterday, Lin Nan had already sent an invitation email to Gong Li's agency;
He Originally, he wanted to call directly, but considering that Gong Li had a brokerage company, in order to avoid unnecessary trouble, he finally chose to go through the formal invitation process.
Call me back now, and as expected, this is what happened.
"Sister Gong Li?"
Lin Nan sat on the sofa and answered the phone.
“Director Lin, I’m sorry, I’ve been filming commercials in France for the past two days. I just flew back last night. I’ve already seen the email and script that the company forwarded to me. It’s a very good story and very suitable. The three major film festivals..."
"What does Sister Gong Li mean?"
Lin Nan asked. The next second, he heard Gong Li's rather helpless tone: "Director Lin, I'm really sorry. Because it's your script, I couldn't help reading it. As for the script... I'm afraid I won't be able to accept it. "
"Is that so?" Lin Nan asked. This answer was completely unexpected.
"Director Lin misunderstood, there is no subjective reason, it is objective. In fact, I really hope to cooperate with Director Lin;
But at the beginning of the year, I attended the "Three Strikes of Bone Demons" "After the premiere, Director Lou Ye contacted the company and I just negotiated the filming there in the past two months
As for the start-up time, there is no way to determine the start-up time, but it will be the second half of this year at the earliest, and maybe next year later. I don’t take on roles very frequently now. I just want to take a break and wait while I read the script and figure out the role. These things are very time-consuming. In addition, the announcements for the first half of the year are already full, including advertising, Cannes, Shanghai Film Festival..."
Gong Li's voice is very magnetic, he is unhurried and explains very sincerely.
“Director Lou’s movie? Sister Gong Li, can I ask what movie it is? "
Lin Nan asked curiously, what a bad luck, Lou Ye beat him to it!
"It is a mixed adaptation of two novels. The script is still being polished, but When we were talking about it, the name of the movie had already been decided, and it was called "Lan Xin Grand Theater"..."
A few minutes later, after Gong Li repeatedly said politely that he would cooperate next time, Lin Nan hung up the phone.
The atmosphere in the living room of the villa is a bit quiet and weird? Lin Nan turned around suddenly and saw Liu Yifei and Zhou Xun standing a few steps away, staring at him.
Miss Liu made a small expression at Lin Nan, pursed her lips, and told him to look at Zhou Xun's face... Yes, Mr. Zhou's face was not very good-looking, it looked like the expression of "catching someone in bed".
"Director Lin, am I the alternative plan if you dare to fall in love with me?"
Zhou Xun rolled his big eyes and said something sinister, feeling very bad.
"So, do you think you can kill 'Emperor Gong' head-on, Mr. Zhou?"
Now that he was "discovered", Lin Nan simply started joking; now, the "spare tire" must be Gotta get a regular job!
“How do you know if you haven’t tried it?” Zhou Xun said rather harshly, raising his head.
“It’s time to eat, Brother Xun’er, sit down quickly.”
Liu Yifei pushed Zhou Xun and sat down at the dining table. The latter was also carrying the red wine given by Tom, and he was really good at choosing.
"Here, I'll pour you some wine."
Lin Nan tugged several times before "snatching" the red wine from Zhou Xun's hand.
"Humph, you have hurt my feelings today. If you don't have a few movies to make up for it, this matter is not over!" Mr. Zhou snorted coldly and immediately negotiated terms.
"Let's not talk about this for now. Let me ask. I heard from Sissi that you have accepted a TV series, which will be launched in the second half of the year. So do you have time to make my movie?"
Lin Nan decisively changed the topic. Promise? He doesn't know how to make promises, and it's a promise of "a few movies." He also made a promise to Liu Hanhan!
"The TV series won't be until after August. Before then, it's okay to work with Yifei to make a movie. In other words, you have to postpone "Marriage Story" from May to after August. Go?" Zhou Xun rolled his eyes angrily.
Hearing this, Lin Nan immediately shook his head, "That's not possible, we can start it next month."
"That's incredible!
If it weren't for Yifei, I would have It is easy not to play a supporting role for others; when she was not a three-time Best Actress, she only played a supporting role for Zhang Ziyi in "The Night Banquet"."
Zhou Xun was very arrogant at this moment. It's exactly the same as when Liu Yifei was arrogant.
"Okay, thank you very much. I'll fill it up for you."
"Who poured so much red wine? I haven't sobered up yet..."
There was chatter at the dinner table. There was a quarrel, and Liu Yifei burst out laughing.
Not long after, the three of them were chatting about movies while eating.
"Why not let Aunt Liu play mother and daughter with Yifei again in the movie "Marriage Story"? She has won the Best Supporting Actress Award at Cannes. You don't know the industry How envious are actresses? I can envy them to death, including me..."
Hearing Zhou Xun's question, Liu Yifei felt very proud and glanced at the helpless Lin Nan.
“The Fault in Our Stars took advantage of the script. The plot of the story was just right for the mother and daughter in real life to convey the real relationship between mother and daughter in the movie with half the effort or even dozens of times. The emotions are heightened to the extreme, because they are a real mother and daughter, and the daughter is terminally ill!
But not this time. After several years of marriage, my character in "Marriage Story" has become accustomed to blind sacrifice and overdraft. Regarding her daughter's career, love, ideals and spirit, she only knows how to accept the love of Sissi's role and her dedication to the family, but has no idea of mutual dedication and consideration; she is cold, perfunctory, and only cares about her own career and work, to the point of hurting her. After exposing her daughter, she finally became disheartened, even collapsed, and went their separate ways...
I don’t think my mother-in-law can control her emotions this time and act out the image of a very sensible mother... ..."
As Lin Nan explained, Zhou Xun nodded belatedly, while Liu Yifei kept glaring at him fiercely!
"Hmph, if it were my mother, she would kill you! No, without her, I would kill you!" Liu Qianqian gritted her teeth and warned.
"Sissi, this is absolutely not possible in reality."
Lin Nan quickly flattered her, and then received a "rolling eyes".
During this period, Liu Yifei brought out the emotions in the script intentionally or unintentionally from time to time, "beating" Lin Nan.
But when it comes to letting Zhou Xun play a supporting role, Lin Nan is really a little embarrassed.
"Brother Xun, we are planning to take this movie to the three major film festivals, but now it seems that everything has been reformed, and there is no supporting actor award."
"It doesn't matter, I just need to push Yifei down, and the supporting actor award will be Can compete for the Best Actress!"
Zhou Xun joked carelessly, which immediately made Liu Yifei laugh and slap her in Lin Nan's arms.
“How dare you think about it!”
“That’s no choice. How about you find me some movies later? Well, that’s settled!”
< br>
Well, in the face of Zhou Xun's "arbitrary demands", Lin Nan did not immediately refute it. We will see fate later.
"Okay, okay, let's have lunch quickly. By the way, this must be my first time partnering with Brother Xun, right? Well, I'm still looking forward to it!"
Liu Yifei He shook his ponytail with a smile, picked up the wine glass, "Come on, celebrate."
"Cheers!"
"Cheers!"
