Chapter 109: No kissing scene, this is the bottom line!
"Project Baby", jointly produced by Huayi Brothers and Chenglong Yinghuang Film Co., Ltd. with an investment of 130 million, started shooting in Hong Kong yesterday."
"Director Chen Musheng came here this time Fresh combination and Chenglong, mainland performance Actor Gao Yuanyuan, and British actor Zhang Tieling, who is mostly known for her Qing palace dramas. "The film is expected to be completed in March next year and will be released on National Day."
Yang Siwei saw this. According to the news, I also lamented that the boss had foresight.
Yinghuang is investing more and more in the mainland.
We are getting closer and closer to Huayi, and we are indeed not Yinghuang’s only partner.
Li Chen also saw this news. "Baby Project" may be Chenglong's last glory.
Big brother Long Aesthetics is always online, and the dragon girls he finds are more beautiful than the last.
Beautiful women are always favored by others. Without Zhang Yadong, big brother Long has appeared again.
I heard that Gao Yuanyuan was reluctant to refuse but even welcomed her, saying that she did not make commercial films.
But with this shot, I am afraid it will be out of control.
Li Chen just swept the rankings when he had nothing to do, but this was not a problem. After all, when manpower was limited, he would inevitably make omissions.
Like "Ghost Blows Out the Lamp", if I had been there for a month or two at night, maybe "Starting Point" would have won the world's most popular song for only 100,000 yuan after a drink.
Instead of doing this, it is better to take the initiative and adopt a two-pronged approach.
On the one hand, a signing ceremony was held for Lan Xiaolong with great fanfare, and outstanding writers and screenwriters were encouraged to recommend themselves.
On the other hand, let Wu Bin discuss cooperation with "xx" and "Starting Point".
It is best to achieve a win-win situation, where both parties get what they need.
But Li Chen also knew that this might be a bit difficult.
After all, film and television adaptation rights are a big part of the profits of this type of literary website.
Although the author of "Red Sorghum" sold the copyright to Rongchen Pictures, he insisted on writing the script himself, and Wu Bin naturally would not refuse.
Li Chen asked Yang Siwei to give Zhou Xun and Zhu Yawen a copy of the original work of "Red Sorghum" so that they could study it carefully.
In a quiet tea house, Yang Siwei, Zhou Xun and Zhu Yawen met.
Introducing Zhou Xun and Zhu Yawen to know each other.
"Sister Xun" Zhu Yawen has a sweet mouth.
"From now on, there is a high probability that Zhou Xun will be the first sister and the eldest sister of their company, except for Sissi, of course." Zhu Yawen thought to himself.
“Call Brother Xun!” Zhou Xun said with a sullen face.
“Okay, Brother Xun.”
“That’s pretty much it.”
With a smile on his face, Yang Siwei took out two books from his bag and handed them to Er people.
The two took the "Red Sorghum" from Yang Siwei and looked at each other.
"Silk, isn't this the famous work of director Yimou?" Zhu Yawen wondered.
Zhou Xun reacted a little bit.
"Does your boss want to remake "Red Sorghum"? Let us play Jiu'er and Yu Zhan'ao?"
Zhu Yawen was stunned and his eyes widened in surprise.
Yang Siwei smiled and said: "Sister Xun, you can't say that anymore, it should be our boss!"
Zhou Xun nodded and smiled: "That's right, I'm used to it, so does our boss really mean this?"
“You’re half right, it’s not a remake of the movie, but a TV series. The script is already being written, and filming should start in April or May next year.”
“The boss asked you two to do it. I understand the original work thoroughly, especially the characters of Jiu'er and Yu Zhan'ao."
After hearing what Yang Siwei said, Zhu Yawen suddenly felt nervous.
After all, he is a newcomer, and this is challenging the classics.
Zhou Xun was a little excited, like a master of chess, eager to try.
“Sister Xun, the boss has told you not to deliberately imitate Gong Li’s Jiu’er.”
“But act like a little girl, and act a Jiu’er that you understand. "
Zhou Xun said with a smile: "What else did Director Li say?"
Yang Siwei thought of what his boss said and couldn't help but laugh: "Sister Xun, are you sure you really want to listen?"
"Go on, I won't say anything nice. I'm mentally prepared."
She never asked for favors from Li Chen!
"Well, the boss said that while Zhou Xun still has a girlish look, it would not be against the law to play Jiu'er."
"In a few years, I want to play the 19-year-old Jiu'er. It’s too girly to perform for Zhou Xun and the makeup artist!” Yang Siwei imitated Li Chen’s tone of voice perfectly.
Zhu Yawen held back her laughter and did not dare to laugh.
Zhou Xunqi's breathing was disordered, but Yang Siwei's shoulders were shaking with laughter.
Miss Liu looked a little coy today, which greatly confused Li Chen.
He stretched out his hand and pulled the girl into his arms. The light fragrance of her hair made people feel relaxed and happy, but it was inconvenient to wear too many clothes in this winter.
"What's wrong? Is something wrong?" Li Chen said in the girl's ear.
Miss Liu pushed her boyfriend away and said hesitantly: "I told you not to be angry!"
Li Chen sat up, and Miss Liu's expression made him feel a sudden shock in his heart.
What can make your normally generous girlfriend become coy and make you angry?
"I'm not angry, you tell me."
Miss Liu then said: "Wang Lihong's agent and people from Sony came to Red Star House and wanted to ask me to be the vocalist in Wang Lihong's new song "Flower Field Mistake" "The heroine of the MV"
Li Chen frowned, he was so ambitious!
“Auntie agrees?”
“Not yet, my mother is a little hesitant, but the company feels that there is no harm in me filming, and since we didn’t sign a contract with Sony before, my mother also feels that she owes me a little. "
Li Chen snorted: "Nothing is owed, the two parties have not signed a contract! You don't need to be the heroine of any MV at all!"
"You are me! Girlfriend, you went to someone else’s MV to have sex with someone else, I’m not that generous.”
Li Chen did know that in "Flower Field", although there was no kissing scene, there was a second time after the first time.
If Li Chen remembers correctly, Wang Lihong will also have a "Love Announcement" in the future, and it will also include a kiss scene.
This has been planned for a long time! Take it step by step!
Miss Liu could probably guess Li Chen's attitude, so she was coy.
Seeing Li Chen change his color, I felt quite happy. He was obviously jealous!
"If you don't want to go, don't go. What are you in a hurry for?" Miss Liu took the initiative to hold Li Chen's hand and said softly.
Li Chen took a breath and said seriously: "Qian Qian, since we have said this, I will make my attitude clear to you."
"Just say it, Why are you so serious all of a sudden?”
Oh, now I feel so serious again! Women are indeed fickle animals.
“I only have two requirements for you to accept external scenes. First, there can be no kissing scenes. This is the bottom line!”
"Second, as I said before, I have to go through the script. You and Auntie have the same vision in selecting scripts!"
Miss Liu punched Li Chen angrily and said unconvinced: " I’ve never chosen it, my manager chose it for me!”
Li Chen grabbed Miss Liu’s hands, stepped forward and blocked her mouth.
"Uh-huh."
After a long and hard kiss, Li Chen didn't let the girl go until both of them were out of breath.
"Why are you biting someone again!" Miss Liu's eyes were watery, and she pursed her numb lips and said angrily.
"I punish you for wanting to shoot that Lao Shizi MV." Li Chen said with a smile.
"You don't let people film kissing scenes, but you bully them every chance you get. Director Li, you are so shameless!" Ms. Liu's arrogant eyebrows could reach the sky.
"Ms. Liu, I need to remind you that as a qualified girlfriend, you have your due obligations!"
"As your boyfriend, I also have my due rights. , you have to cooperate!”
"Now, please continue to fulfill your obligations!"
"Dream!" Miss Liu ran away with a smile.
After sending Miss Liu home, Li Chen became concerned.
Damn it, there are as many as 800 people in the circle who want to shoot a kissing scene with Ms. Liu.
You have to give yourself some snacks to nip the sprouts in the cradle!
Otherwise, are there still few examples of love caused by drama?
I don’t want to have a grassland above my head one day. Although Miss Liu is not such a person, it is always right to take precautions before they happen.
Lao Mouzi's new film "A City Full of Big Girls" has been approved.
It seems that "Riding Alone for Thousands of Miles" has made Zhang Dapao a little crazy.
Zhang Weiping claimed that the estimated investment for this large-scale production is 340 million.
The actors who have been confirmed include Hong Kong actor Chow Yun-fat and Gong Li who just finished filming "Miami Vice", as well as the little king of the island, Zhou Jielun.
For a time, everyone in the industry began to inquire about other characters in this drama.
On the other side, the casting process for "Thieves" is also very lively.
Outsiders don’t understand the inside story, but Fan Zhiteng knows in her heart that the female lead who is under 22 years old and has a foundation in martial arts is tailor-made for Liu Yifei!
Fan Congchen suddenly felt helpless and tired.
I have worked so hard to film a few movies, but it is not as good as a movie that others can easily get!
In the entertainment industry, she finally understood that every company is the same and there is no such thing as fairness.
If Hua Yi hadn't kept herself, "The Great Sage" and "Mo Gong" wouldn't have had her turn!
But within Huayi, he was still a bit isolated, and Li Congcheng was Huayi's direct descendant.
And there is also a weekly news that there is a high probability that he will join Huayi, so his situation will be even more difficult.
Even if he joins Rongchen Pictures in the future, there will always be Liu Yifei standing over his head!
The best resource is always left by Liu Yifei!
The more Fan Zhitong thinks about it, the more headache she gets. Why is it that her boyfriend can’t help her at all? He acts like a macho man and doesn’t know how to coax her even if they have a fight!
On the first day of New Year's Day, the Internet is already full of news about Rongchen Pictures and Rongchen Pictures.
"Painted Skin" ranks first in film history with a box office of 295 million!"
"Zhou Xun became the first Chinese image ambassador of the luxury brand Chanel."
"Rongchen Pictures held a high-profile signing ceremony for screenwriter Lan Xiaolong and director of "The Burning Years" Kang Honglei in Beijing."
"It is reported that Rongchen Pictures will cooperate with Bayi Film Studio to produce its first TV series "Soldier Assault", which is adapted from Lan Xiaolong's drama "Elna Assault"."
"According to industry insiders, this script adapted from a drama has been rejected by many film and television companies in the past two years!"
"Rongchen Film Promotion Director Yang Siwei responded to our reporter that this was indeed the case. ”
"He also said with a smile that Rongchen Pictures is willing to invest, and it only has to do with the script. As long as the script is really good, no matter how many times it is rejected, Rongchen Pictures will be the last support! We welcome outstanding screenwriters and writers at home and abroad to submit to Rongchen Pictures. ”
The film and television companies in the industry that rejected Kang Honglei all laughed at Rongchen Pictures for losing money and making money.
This kind of military drama has no actress and no emotional line. How can it attract the audience?
"Li Chen, are you okay? Did you really vote?" Hou Hongliang was in disbelief on the phone.
He refused, but Li Chen accepted the thunder!
"Well, I voted!"
"You! You really don't take money seriously!" Hou Hongliang didn't know what to say other than that.
"Okay, you don't have to worry about it. This kind of drama should support the development of military culture."
"Okay, you are the big boss anyway, so I will vote if you don't want to. What else can I say? By the way, one-third of the post-production of "Crossing Guandong" has been completed. Do you want to come and take a look?"
"Okay, after the festival, I will go to your place to take a look. ”
After hanging up the phone, Li Chen was a little surprised. He didn't expect Zhou Xun to be the image ambassador of Chanel.
No wonder what I said on the phone that day, it would be too late if I didn’t sign her.
I guess Huayi must be getting more and more anxious now.
Zhou Xun posted a blog post on his blog.
“It’s an honor to be the ambassador of Chanel. I also want to thank Director Li. If it weren’t because Lafayette watched “Painted Skin”, he wouldn’t have chosen me!”
Friends left messages below.
"Sister Xun, how can you thank my boss? There is no sincerity in saying thank you"
"Tangtang, don't make things difficult for sister Xun, as long as she loses the bet with the boss, It's almost like selling yourself to the boss. "Brother Xun, although I don't know what your bet is, but you can cheat, and Director Li will definitely have nothing to do with you."
Open. What is the most popular thing this year? That's definitely not sesame cake.
It must be the 'steamed bun' that caused a murder
Yesterday was the last day of 2005, and news came from the other side of the ocean.
"The Promise" has finally started screening in a theater in Los Angeles.
One game per day, for seven consecutive days.
Chen Kaige and his wife went to the United States to work on the screening of "The Promise".
In addition to competing for Oscars, I'm afraid it also has the intention of avoiding the limelight.
But the two of them never dreamed that both of them had gone abroad and the legend of "The Promise" would still exist in China.
The emergence of "Murder Case Caused by a Steamed Bun" is a milestone in the history of film.
No one expected that a small short video would become completely popular, completely surpassing its main body "The Promise"!
Countless viewers who have watched the movie feel that this video helps them express their feelings about "The Promise" and speaks for themselves.
Online, the search volume and playback volume have increased sharply!
Offline, people are telling each other, word of mouth!
In the end, this grassroots-produced video of less than 20 minutes swept the entire Internet like a virus within 5 days.
Almost everyone is discussing this video, and the search rankings have risen sharply.
The audience's dissatisfaction and criticism of "The Promise" completely resounded throughout the Internet.
Li Chen remembered that the number of downloads of steamed buns exceeded 10 million. According to statistics, there were less than 100 million Internet users in the country that year.
This means that at least one of the ten people who surf the Internet has seen steamed buns!
Chen Kaige, who is far away in Los Angeles, has completely broken his defense!
He couldn't accept that his three years of hard work was not as tempting as "Steamed Buns" that was completed in a few days.
“Shameless! Despicable!”
Being able to make Chen Kaige say these two words shows how hurt he is.
Chen Hong’s agent immediately hit back and said that he would resolve the matter through legal means.
The two of them have no time to take care of the country now, and their focus is still on the Oscars.
But this does not prevent the influence of "Steamed Buns" from continuing to expand in China.
I heard that Chen Kaige is going to sue the author of "Steamed Buns".
The media has interviewed many directors in the industry about their views on this matter.
Lao Mouzi remained calm and relaxed, laughing: "If it were me, I would be happy with the people."
Look at Lao Mouzi, these four words are with the people. Le, not only belittled Chen Kaige, but also elevated himself to an unparalleled level.
In Li Chen’s impression, only the emperors of ancient times could utter the words ‘having fun with the people’.
Lu Tailang and Hong Kong Island's Zeng Haha also stepped on Chen Kaige.
Lu Tailang: "It's not smart for Chen Kaige to get angry, it's simply unbelievable."
"Freedom of speech is a symbol of a country's civilization and progress. No one should stifle freedom of speech."
" Over-promotion of movies has become more and more common. Under such circumstances, it is obviously inappropriate to sue a vulnerable person."
Hong Kong actor Zeng Haha also said: "Movie adaptations are fun and should be encouraged. ”
Li Chen is naturally the first interviewee. But the media has been unable to contact him.
Until the celebration banquet of "Painted Skin", Li Chen had nowhere to hide!
Countless media have focused their microphones on him, the creator of box office records and another Palme d'Or director.
Although he also thinks Hu Ge is right.
After all, Yangma’s Bi Fujian edited “A World Without Thieves” and “Kung Fu” openly.
What he did was definitely not as exciting as "Steamed Buns", but no one said anything about him.
But at this time, Li Chen couldn't step on Chen Kaige. That would be too mean, and he had to take into account Han Sanping's face.
All the guests cast their eyes on Li Chen.
Yang Siwei, Zhou Xun and Tang Yan were huddled together, with expressions on their faces that they were watching the fun and not taking it too seriously.
Some media have just asked Li Chen that at the end of "Painted Skin", Xiao Wei did not die. Does this mean that "Painted Skin" will have a second part like "The Journey".
Li Chen only answered in three words: not sure.
The media reporters couldn't wait to ask about the main proposition of "Steamed Buns".
"Si Si, what do you think your boss will say?"
"How do I know this? Anyway, I know that as long as my boss talks, it will be on the headlines the next day!"
"Hahaha, that's true!"
Miss Liu was still heart-warming. She frowned and stood on the outside with Liu Xiaoli, probably because she was worried that Li Chen would let off another firecracker.
"Director Li, what would you do if someone made a spoof of "Painted Skin"?"
"Yes, Director Li, tell me about it."
Han Sanping's face turned pale. It turned dark, but Wang Changtian's smile remained unchanged.
Li Chen smiled bitterly and said: "You are really chasing after me!"
"I definitely can't have fun with the people like Director Zhang! Nor will I jump out and add insult to injury like some people. , because "Painted Skin" did well at the box office after all."
"It's for sure to be angry. After several years of hard work, no one can accept this result." Box office and reputation."
"I will continue to make movies seriously and use my works to regain the lost box office and reputation!"
The media reporters have sparks in their eyes, and they know that Director Li only needs Once you open your mouth, there is definitely something to be said for it.
In this wave of speeches, there are at least three hot spots that can arouse heated discussions.
One, to insinuate Lu Chuan and Zeng Zhiwei to add insult to injury.
Two, connotation Chen Kaige makes a fuss out of a molehill.
Third, it shows Rongchen Pictures’ attitude towards spoofs, which is to let the works speak for themselves!
Applause suddenly broke out at the scene, and even Han Sanping also clapped.
Li Chen and Miss Liu looked at each other. Miss Liu smiled sweetly and seemed to be very satisfied with Li Chen's answer.
Starting tomorrow, Ms. Liu will go on a promotional tour with the crew of "The Condor" because "The Condor" will be released in more than a month.
Li Chen’s speech triggered heated discussions in the circle.
Tian Zhuangzhuang also called Li Chen to praise him. He neither flattered nor flattered.
Many people inside and outside the circle also commented.
Xu Jinglei: Looking forward to a peaceful solution
Feng Xiaogang: I can understand Master Kai’s mood, and I support Master Kai in suing!
Senior film critic Duan Wei: Firmly supports Chen Kaige’s lawsuit against Hu Ge. Li Chen is right. The vast majority of people “stand and talk without back pain.” Few people understand Chen Kaige’s feelings. .
Many cross-border university scholars also jumped out to support Li Chen’s remarks and opposed Chen Kaige’s prosecution of Brother Hu.
The most aggrieved person was Lu Tailang. He dared to choke Chen Kaige, so how could he tolerate Li Chen, a young junior, making insinuations about him.
I fired the shots directly on the blog.
"It's obvious who can stand and speak without backache. If he wins the box office championship, he is qualified to guide the country?"
How could Li Chen spoil him? He also responded on his blog.
"You'd better handle the "Kekexili" lawsuit first and then talk about other people's lawsuits!"
"Finally got a golden horse and golden rooster, don't let others know before they are warmed up. I’m going back!”
As soon as Li Chen’s blog post was posted, the media and the Internet crowd couldn’t help but tremble with excitement.
The duel between Chen Kaige and Hu Ge has yet to determine the winner.
Here Li Chen and Lu Chuan got into trouble again over Chen Kaige.
It’s so lively.
Unfortunately, Lu Chuan's combat effectiveness was so disappointing, and he soon lost his voice.
It made the melon-eaters very unhappy.
They all ran to Lu Chuan's blog to get angry.
"Don't be cowardly, Director Lu, why is it misfired? Is it really plagiarism?"
"I said he is the box office champion, but you should take one and try again."
It's not that Lu Chuan didn't want to reply, but he was greeted by the school.
Li Chen also received many calls to reconcile and persuade.
Jiang Wen: Haha, you should fight him! Did you say I bullied him back then? But is there a bully like me who is both the lead actor and the director?
Han Sanping: "Okay, that's it."
"I have no problem, Director Han, you don't have to say this to me."
"Lu I'll say hello to Chuan too!"
Lu Chuan was really angry and it was just a matter of the school going off the rails.
Even Han Sanping blew the whistle! Don't be such a bully!
"What? The Palme d'Or is great? Even the school favors him? The older Director Tian gets, the less likely he is to stand!"
"With high box office, you can be arrogant! You can be arrogant with China Film Group Corporation!" Lu Chuan When you yell loudly at home, it is the unknown woman behind the scenes who suffers!
Lu Chuan pretended to be deaf and dumb, helpless, and netizens returned their attention to Chen Kaige.
Countless netizens have complained that Chen Kaige is too petty. Why don’t people complain if the movie is poorly made?
The cruelest knives often come from the person who was closest to you: a person who is so petty that he can’t even fit into a steamed bun!
Facing the overwhelming online violence and ridicule, Chen Kaige’s mood is unknown.
However, "Search", a film produced seven or eight years later, is probably also an indictment of the cyber violence he suffered back then!
"The Promise" has been completely knocked off the altar.
Even so, many domestic media still boast about Wuji!
"The Promise's status in film history is unparalleled. One hundred years later, who is the classic "The Promise" and "Hero"?"
"Labor Daily" also published an article titled "What can the film itself do?" "The Limit Reached" article by American film critics praising "The Promise"
"The film was even more popular in the United States than imagined. Due to the film's huge success in China and the excitement of being nominated for a Golden Globe Award, many viewers came here to watch it. "
"Many people came from New York, New Orleans and other places just to watch "The Promise". "
"After watching it, the audience refused to leave for a long time, and were excited about the strong oriental cultural sentiments in the film and the fate of the protagonist. ”
Li Chen even laughed, and the audience didn't want to leave for a long time? I'm afraid I want my money back!
Unfortunately, "Labor Daily" was slapped in the face by an article published by "Nanjing Daily" in an instant, ""The Promise" was screened in a deserted exclusive theater in the United States."
Throughout January, "The Promise" and "Steamed Buns" were listed in the first few items in the entertainment section of the portal website.
"囧囧" started to gain momentum at the end of last month.
With the release of the pilot film, there are many eye-catching scenes and jokes, and some people have predicted that the box office of "囧 in Thailand" may reach hundreds of millions.
Because the subject matter is so endearing, Huang Bo from "Stone" has joined the cast, and the foundation laid by the first part of "Unfortunately".
Some people in the industry have predicted that the box office of "Thailand" will not be lower than "The Promise"!
In the middle of the month, "King Kong" made a strong debut, and "The Promise" was released amidst a lot of criticism. The final box office stayed at 165 million.
The global box office of "Painted Skin" exceeded 70 million US dollars. Although it is not as good as "Hero", it is still impressive.
Now let’s see if the overseas box office of “The Promise” can make a comeback for Chen Kaige.
Unfortunately, Chen Kaige's tragedy has just begun.
On the 17th, the 63rd Golden Globe Awards were announced at the Beverly Hills Hilton Hotel.
With "Brokeback Mountain", Li Min won 4 awards in one fell swoop, becoming the biggest winner of the night.
In the competition for the Best Foreign Language Film Award, two Chinese-language films known as "double insurance" - "Kung Fu" and "The Promise" both lost.
The International Chapter of Chinese Actors, who was nominated for the Golden Globe Award for Best Actress for the first time, ultimately missed out on the award.
The Golden Globe Awards can be called the "first indicator" of the Oscars. Therefore, Chen Kaige has given up hope for the Oscars two months later!
Oscar is out of the question, so we can only pin our final expectations on the North American box office.
The couple returned home quietly and in a low profile, exhausted both physically and mentally.
As good luck as never comes alone, misfortunes never come singly, and they didn't even wait for the plane to land.
The Olympic Organizing Committee has announced the team that will participate in the second round of bidding for the Olympic Director.
Chen Kaige is not included in this list. The previously rumored news that Chen Kaige was eliminated in the first round is indeed true.
Poor Director Chen really had a leaky house and it rained all night long.
The premiere of "囧囧" is coming soon, and Wang Changtian and Li Chen are also inviting friends and media to support Xu Zheng.
Sent in advance, I have something to do during the day, so I may not have time
