Chapter 100 The storm is about to come
Yang Si came to tell Li Chen the good news. Unexpectedly, things turned out as the boss expected. There were many people who stood up to speak for the boss.
Now that the rain has passed and the sky has cleared up, many acquaintances including Zhou Xun, Fan Congtong and Li Congtang have called her.
I lament that you, Director Li, are so awesome. You haven’t even come forward to reply. The negative news is self-defeating.
What makes Yang Siwei most happy is that Tang Yan has received endorsement contracts from 5 brands.
This is the first endorsement deal for her first artist, and she received five endorsement deals at once.
Looking at Yang Siwei and Tang Yan, both of them were smiling.
Li Chen smiled and said: “It’s a good thing to receive endorsements, but you have to think clearly.”
“Selecting the right endorsements for Tangtang is not a matter of accepting any miscellaneous endorsements. . ”
“Brands choose suitable artists as spokespersons, and the artists themselves must select qualified brands!”
Yang Siwei nodded and said: "Don't worry, boss, I know what to do."
Li Chen smiled and said: "Siwei, have you ever thought about Tangtang's character?"
"Character?" Yang Siwei was a little curious and had never heard of this word.
“Boss, what is a character?” Tang Yan also asked curiously.
Li Chen tapped his forehead, secretly thinking that no one has said this yet.
The word character seems to be derived from Naruto.
Li Chen could only explain it in a popular way: "Personality is Tangtang's public image."
"To give the simplest example, why did Xinghui hide that person? Star girl? "
"Isn't it because Huang Shengyi secretly took over the secret work of a man? It ruined Xinghui's plan for her," Yang Siwei said, seeming to understand.
"Yes, actually taking on private work is not important. What is important is that she destroyed the image of a pure and beautiful girl that Xinghui has always established for her."
"And this image of a pure and beautiful girl is what I call a character. When the character collapses, the star road will self-destruct. Huang Shengyi is an example."
Tang Yan understood, and now he still feels a little funny when he thinks of Song Dazui.
"Boss, didn't Team Song tell me that when Huang Shengyi and Xinghui terminate their contract, he can sign Huang Shengyi."
Yang Siwei was very disgusted with Song Dazui, with a look on his face said contemptuously.
"Is it him? I heard that the box office of that movie Eyes of Heaven was not even enough for the salary he paid Huang Shengyi to film, but it is really impressive."
Li Chen smiled and said: "Don't worry about them."
"But as the publicity director and agent of the company, you must know the characters of Tangtang and Mimi, otherwise you will just be fooling around. ."
"I made a note of it, boss. I'll think about it when I get down." Yang Siwei said.
“Well, think about it more. A big factor in choosing a spokesperson for a luxury brand is whether the artist’s personality matches the brand image.”
“The establishment and maintenance of the personality can Quickly help ordinary people identify and understand a person"
"Hong Kong Island is already ahead of us on this point. You have also seen Hollywood's marketing model in Hollywood, so you should still remember it."
Yang Siwei was thoughtful, Li Chen's words today It was a great inspiration to her.
The two left Li Chen's office.
Tang Yan was a little curious: "Siwei, I feel that the boss knows more about agents than you do. Which of you two is the top student in the School of Communication?"
Yang Siwei was a little embarrassed. Dashua said: "Tangtang, have you seen people like the boss since the establishment of the three major universities?"
"You compare me to the boss, you really think highly of me."
Tang Yan thought about it and smiled: "That's right. At the boss's age, there is really no one at home and abroad who can compare with this achievement." Come up with one."
Yang Siwei nodded: "The boss is right, I really need to think carefully about your and Mimi's characters."
"You have a good start now. , I can’t let you become the second Huang Shengyi.”
A piece of news from Hong Kong Island shocked people.
Li Chen didn't know what these people were thinking. Twenty years had passed, and the news had just been revealed now, and they still didn't dare to identify them. So what the hell are you talking about?
As we enter November, there is quite a feeling in the industry and on the Internet that rain is about to come, and the buildings are filled with dark clouds.
Both the media and movie fans are full of unlimited expectations for the next two months.
Because December is starting, the five major dramas in the Lunar New Year season will be on stage one after another.
This is an unprecedented drama in the 100-year history of Chinese cinema, and it is enough to be recorded in the annals of film history.
Even "King Kong", which was released globally on December 14, was completely squeezed out of the market.
Whether it’s the peak showdown between the two Palme d’Or and Lao Mouzi, or who is the number one Chinese fantasy movie between Huapi and Wuji, it’s all very interesting.
As for love and love, although the great sage shouts very loudly.
However, neither the media nor insiders are optimistic about the threat that the two Hong Kong films will pose to the three major mainland directors in the Lunar New Year season.
Beginning in November, the pilot film of Painted Skin and the ending piano song "Asian Road" were released successively.
I immediately compared the pilot films of The Promise and If Love.
There is no other reason. Several classic shots of Zhou Xun in the pilot film are so beautiful that people completely ignore her appearance.
Especially the scene where the hibiscus emerges from the water.
It turns out that everyone has only seen painted posters in movie theaters.
But compared with the released trailer, especially the low and sad piano music "Asian Road", it is so poignant and beautiful.
Netizens were amazed and confused.
"What if Ai and Painted Skin are definitely the same person? If Ai is not a substitute, right? Or is Chen Kexin deliberately vilifying Zhou Xun?"
"There is no harm without comparison. I am now I believe Director Li is telling the truth. Huapi really doesn’t consider Ruo Ai as his opponent.”
“Come quickly in December, I can’t wait to see the PK between Huapi and Wuji, the Palme d’Or versus the Golden Palm. Palm, who is the winner of 999 gold!”
“The New Year’s Eve movie is worth 300 million to 400 million yuan, and The Promise is claiming to take away 300 million yuan. This completely ignores Director Zhang and Director Li. ! ”
"Three companies are divided into promotions. Who is Wei and Zhao?"
No matter what the discussion on the Internet, the three major directors involved ignored it and started promoting it with all their strength.
Chen Kaige and Chen Hong spared no effort.
Ms. Liu has received a lot of acting appointments in recent months, but she passed them all by Li Chen.
There was really no good script suitable for Miss Liu, so Li Chen asked Miss Liu to take advantage of this period.
Either go to school to attend classes, or hone her basic skills at home with the teachers Li Chen found for her.
Objectively speaking, Ms. Liu's acting skills are outstanding among the 85 flowers.
It’s just her appearance that draws attention to her face.
Huapi’s first stop in the country is the Magic City. I haven’t seen Zhou Xun for a long time, but Zhou Xun is still the same Zhou Xun.
A brown slim-fitting jacket paired with a pair of beige straight pants looks smart and cool.
"Director Li, I have been living in dire straits every day for the past few months."
"Please, you two great directors, have a little care about me, a little actor, and don't let me die in an ugly way." Che Zhou Xunsheng inside complained helplessly.
Zhou Xun, Tang Yan and Yang Siwei were sitting in this car, and Zhou Xun had no scruples about what he said.
Yang Siwei and Tang Yan held back their laughter.
Although Li Chen and Chen Kexin did not deal with him, they would not embarrass Zhou Xun on this matter.
Li Chen smiled and said: "Don't worry, everything is according to the contract. Didn't I agree to hand you over to him later?"
"Lest the box office is in a slump and they say I'm bullying others!"
Zhou Xun held his forehead and sighed, his expression so painful that it was hard to tell whether he was acting or not.
Li Chen laughed and scolded: "Don't act with me here, I won't do this."
Xun Zhou took a long breath: "No, I just have a headache." How should I answer questions from the media and fans?”
"Don't pretend to be like me. You, Mr. Zhou, are afraid of reporters. Just go ahead and lie!" Li Chen said with a smile.
Zhou Xun estimates that he can wake up from his dreams with laughter in the past two months.
A painting and a love story are both in the Lunar New Year festival. She is undoubtedly the queen of this year's Lunar New Year festival.
And Huapi even helped her win the Best Actress Award in Venice.
Another one that if you love, you have to go to Austria.
Moreover, Chen Kexin is full of confidence, and Zhou Xun's Venice title also brought dividends to Ruoai.
"Hahaha, it's Director Li after all. I can't deceive you. It seems that my acting skills still need to be improved."
"But seriously, Director Li, do you think I have any Any chance of getting a statuette?" Zhou Xun moved closer to Li Chen.
Yang Siwei and Tang Yan also expressed interest.
"Sister Xun, you must be fine." Tang Yan smiled.
Yang Siwei was not as simple as Tang Yan: "Boss, tell us, does Sister Xun have a chance?"
The three of them were like three little pigs eager for knowledge, all looking like they were waiting for food. Written by Li Chen.
Li Chen was quite amused: “I’ve never seen If You Love, how can I comment on it.”
“Brother Xun’s acting skills must be online, otherwise Chen Kexin wouldn’t be looking for him. You."
"But I advise you, little golden man, not to have too much hope, otherwise you will be disappointed in the end."
The three of them looked at each other, and the only one who dared to comment like this without seeing it was the one in front of them.
"You don't like Ruo Ai? Director Li?" Zhou Xun lost his cynicism.
“It’s not that I’m not optimistic about Ruo Ai, I’m also not optimistic about Wuji.” Li Chen shook his head.
Well, the three of them were stunned for a moment. They didn’t expect Li Chen to be so dismissive of the two amazing Olympic dramas rumored by the outside world.
Zhou Xun was unwilling: "Director Li, you are too subjective. Why don't we make a bet on whether Love can be nominated?"
Li Chen smiled and looked Zhou Xun up and down: "I won't bet with you, what chips do you have to bet with me?"
Zhou Xun was angry: "Me, me"
< br>Hahaha, Yang Siwei and Tang Yan both laughed.
“You’re laughing your ass off!” Zhou Xun scolded the two of them with an angry smile.
“Sister Xun, you really don’t have any chips when you bet with my boss! I’m afraid my boss will throw you to the moon for the money. My boss helped you get your movie queen title.”
"As for the rest, I haven't found that my boss is interested in women other than Yifei." Yang Siwei said with a smile.
Li Chen smiled and said: "Forget it, I won't bully you. If you want to bet, let's bet once."
"If Love is not nominated, I will ask you to film in the future, don't give I kept pushing and pushing."
Zhou Xun thought that this was a good thing, and he wouldn't suffer. Who wouldn't want to film Director Li's movie now?
"Okay, no problem, but what if I am nominated?" Zhou Xun said with a smile.
"Nomination? To be honest, I really haven't thought about it, because it is basically impossible. If a miracle happens, I owe you a favor." Li Chen said.
"Okay, it's settled, think, Tangtang, you two will testify for me, don't lose your position just because Director Li is your boss!" Zhou Xun said confidently.
Tang Yan smiled and said: "No problem, Sister Xun, I also hope you can win. I haven't seen my boss lose yet."
Yang Siwei didn't speak, always feeling that Zhou The news seems to have been tricked by the boss. The promotion of Shanghai Magic City was placed in the Hilton Hotel.
"Director Li, I am a reporter from China News Service. What do you think of the recent hotly debated fatherly love that deviates from mainstream values?"
"Today we are here to promote Huapi, and issues that have nothing to do with Huapi. , you can come down and ask my company's publicity director Yang Siwei, thank you."
"Ms. Zhou Xun, I am a reporter from the Information Times. Are you the star of the two dramas Painted Skin and If You Love? "Which one do you like more?"
"I knew I would be criticized by you today, and it's true."
The reporters burst into laughter, waiting expectantly for Zhou Xun's answer.
"Personally, the filming of both dramas was very unforgettable for me."
"In fact, both dramas are very good and have similarities. One is a song and dance romance, and the other is a magical romance. .”
“If we have to judge the box office, I think the painting skin will have the advantage.”
“Sister Xun, I am your fan, you are so beautiful in the painting skin. ”
“Thank you, all thanks to Director Li. For this shot, I soaked in the water for a long time, just to soak up the beauty”
The scene was full of cheers and the atmosphere was warm
While several big directors were working hard to promote their new films nationwide, the Golden Rooster and Golden Horse also opened together.
This year’s golden rooster and golden horse collide.
As a result, many Hong Kong stars temporarily changed their destination to Treasure Island.
The nominated stars from the Mainland are taking a wait-and-see attitude.
The head of the Mainland Film Association said calmly to the media: I feel that film festivals do not rely on stars. Their most fundamental prosperity is rooted in professionalism.
As soon as this statement came out, it was suspected that none of the big names and directors came to the opening ceremony of the Golden Rooster.
When a reporter asked the person in charge of the organizing committee why there were no stars to support the Golden Rooster.
The person in charge also couldn’t hide his wry smile: “Some are due to schedule, some are due to promises but suddenly stopped coming, reasons such as physical discomfort, sprained feet, etc.”
Sanya is sunny and sunny .
But Golden Rooster can only be described in four words: dull and dull.
Even the reporters were scratching their heads and heads so anxiously that they almost had hemorrhoids!
Oh my god, please come over to some coffee lovers. Otherwise, how can we complete this interview task?
It’s been three or four days since the opening, and there’s still not a celebrity with a bit of celebrity showing up.
After waiting for a few days, still nothing.
Until the appearance of Yangzi and Song Dazui, the reporters were speechless and collapsed.
What was supposed to come didn’t come, and why did these two living treasures come that shouldn’t have come.
The two of them have a lot in common. They both have been in business for many years and suddenly became interested in movies.
Blue and White starring Yang Zi and the classic character Xiao Longnu of 95 Divine Condor has been released.
However, the media really have little interest in these two people, probably because they are both too good at packaging themselves.
But there was really no one to accept, and these two people chose to hold a press conference on the same day, so the media had no choice but to make do with it.
So, there was a news headline that made Li Chen angry the next day.
"Celebrity CEO Yang Zi appeared at the Sanya Cactus Resort Hotel in Hainan on the 11th for an interview."
When Li Chen saw this title, what impressed him most were the words Sanya Cactus Hotel.
For those who didn’t know, I thought this cactus hotel was advertising!
Compared to Yangzi, who was a little embarrassed and said to the media: "I know that everyone is tired of such frequent publicity."
Song Dazui is more shameless.
“I don’t like the Golden Rooster and Hundred Flowers Film Festival at all. I came to Sanya just because you lovely reporters are here.”
Listen, it’s obviously for his New Year’s film Later, Yang Decai came to promote his marriage proposal, but he said it was because of the cute reporter.
It wasn’t until Li Congcheng came to the Painted Skin crew after asking for leave, that he saved the lives of the majority of media reporters.
When Li Zhengtong came, he took two days off from Li Chen, just for a formality.
The film She and Xia Yu Wait Alone was released in mid-September, and the box office was disastrous, less than 2 million.
Li Congcheng also knew in her heart that the Golden Rooster nomination was actually just that.
What is said about waiting alone is also one that stands out from many excellent works.
This is pure self-deception.
At the request of media reporters, Li He also prepared a media meeting for his sister in the hotel.
The next day, the red carpet for the closing ceremony finally arrived, and finally there was a bit of starlight.
"Fan Zhengyi challenges the limit of sex appeal with her naked back" "Cheng Long kisses a chicken in public" "Super Girl He Jie 'falls down' on the red carpet twice"
"Golden Retriever Lion King Liu Xiaoqing reveals her bottom on the red carpet" Li Xiaolu makes a sexy appearance in a low-cut gauze skirt" "Ma Yili boldly shows off her fair skin in a low-cut red dress"
Sina Golden Rooster special section, various unconventional and eye-catching titles, it is like being stimulated .
It’s really hard for Sina, as the exclusive live broadcast portal of this year’s Golden Rooster.
Without these eye-catching titles, no one would have paid much attention to this year’s Golden Rooster.
But the only thing these people really have to do with sexiness is Fan Xiaopang.
In addition to Fan Xiaopang, Li Chen also glanced twice.
Other people are really not worth seeing.
In the current environment, Fan Xiaopang's silver and black backless outfit is indeed bold enough.
She has begun to look like a red carpet queen.
The final awards for leading actor and actress were also awarded to Chenglong and Jin Yaqin amidst awe.
Among the great directors in the country, Lutaro is the only one.
Kekexili won the best picture.
Don't delay Lu Tailang from eating the golden rooster's meat and smashing the golden rooster's nest.
“The Golden Horse is worth learning from the Golden Rooster. What the film festival fears most is indifference.”
I don’t know what the judges of the Golden Rooster are thinking, whether they regret giving the award to Hoh Xil.
Compared with the golden rooster, Baodao’s golden horse is more star-studded.
Aaron Kwok, Yang Qianhua, Liang Yongqi, Fan Wenfang, Shu Qi, Zhang Zhen, Yang Caini, Liang Jiahui, Zhang Jiahui, Tang Cuiwen, Du Qifeng and many other filmmakers appeared one after another.
Father's love is as great as a mountain, a golden horse, and a horse.
Won four awards for Best Supporting Actress (Deng Cuiwen), Best Original Screenplay (Li Chen), Best Director (Jiashang Chan), and Best Original Music (Past Life).
Zha Zhahui was a little disappointed not to win the best actor award.
The key loser was the Dance King among the Four Heavenly Kings. I am afraid that not only Zha Zhahui was unhappy mentally, but also the other Liang Jiahui.
The best film still goes to Zhou Xingchi’s Kung Fu.
Zhou Xingchi's kung fu is indeed amazing. No one was present, but he still won the grand prize.
This Golden Horse is a huge victory for Hong Kong films, and it also highlights the decline of Baodao films.
“Journey to Thailand: Lost in Thailand, produced by Rongchen Pictures and directed by Xu Zheng, has recently obtained a screening license. The film is scheduled to be released on January 23, and will compete with Fearless Next.”
As soon as the news came out, everyone felt that Xu Zheng was overconfident in filming a nightclub movie.
Li Chen was also arrogant and allowed Xu Zheng to cause chaos.
Li Chen didn't think so, so Xu Zheng asked Li Chen for his opinion.
Li Chen thought about it and suggested putting it at the end of the Lunar New Year stall to connect with the Spring Festival stall.
At this time, the Spring Festival stalls were still a raw product, not as hot as the dishes in later generations.
The comedy theme of Thai囧 is more suitable for these two schedules than Fearless.
Even if he loses in the competition at the same time, Xu Zheng will not be ashamed.
After all, the opposite person is Jet Li.
On November 22, the Painted Skin crew will be guests of the Sixth Princess.
The host asked many questions that fans were concerned about, and Li Chen responded to them one by one.
"Director Li, what makes you want to film Painted Skin? We all know that there have been three versions of Painted Skin before. Is your film any different from the previous three?" the host laughed.
The main actors of Painted Skin were sitting in the studio with smiles on their faces.
After traveling around the country, several leading actors have felt the huge enthusiasm of movie fans, and they are increasingly optimistic about the Lunar New Year box office competition.
Li Chen leaned back relaxedly on his seat and said with a normal smile: "The reason for taking pictures is because I like strange things like Liaozhai."
"But I I also wanted to make something different, to make the painting break out of the fixed thinking mode of ghosts and horrors."
"So this painting is different, just look at the leading actors. ?”
“With their good looks, choosing them will not scare away the audience.”
Several of the leading actors laughed.
The host also laughed and said: "Director Li is so funny."
"The mainland box office of Fatherly Love has now exceeded 130 million, ranking first in the box office list this year. It can be said that it has a good reputation A double success at the box office. "
"Some people say that "Father's Love is Like a Mountain" is the originator of the new crime genre, and some people don't agree with it. What do you think? "
What do the leading actors think? Looking at Li Chen, many people along the way asked this question, but Li Chen didn't reply.
I wonder if I will give the Sixth Princess face today.
Li Chen paused and then said: "Many people have asked me this question. Since you asked it today, let me give a unified answer here."
" A movie’s box office and reputation cannot represent everything.”
“Although the ending of Father’s Love is very controversial and I received a lot of scolding, I don’t regret it.” As a filmmaker, what I want to do is to put the stories of life on the big screen in the form of art.”
"Whether you are scolded or praised by others, it doesn't matter to me!"
"If Chinese-language films want to have a place in the world of cinema, they must let a hundred flowers bloom and accommodate different people." Sound."
"So, Rongchen Pictures will still keep its original intention and make movies with heart."
The lead actors of Painted Skin and the staff of Studio Six Princess applauded Li Chen.
After the program, a person in charge of the Six Princesses came up and said with a smile: "Director Li, a father's love is like a mountain is wonderful, our movie channel hopes to buy it"
Three days later, the Painted Skin crew’s interview with the Sixth Princess was released.
Netizens applauded Li Chen one after another.
"Director Li said it well, if you want to go out, you have to be open to all rivers. You can't talk to foreigners all day long!"
"It's the 21st century, and some people still Living in my own dream, I don’t even look at the things I film, and I don’t reflect on them!”
“The good looks of the leading actors in Painted Skin gave me the courage to go into the cinema, as were several movies from the last century. Painted skin is really hard to describe.”
With the last leg of Painted Skin promotion coming to an end, all we have to do is wait for the Painted Skin premiere to be held on the 28th.
