Chapter 228: The weakest New Year's stall
Wu Jing naturally understood this truth, and just said it casually, seeing that Lu Lin suddenly became emotional, he smiled helplessly, "Okay, you are tough!"
Lu Lin also felt that he was a little emotional, and said with a smile: "You came here suddenly, could it be that you are worried about the reputation and box office of "Wolf Warrior" again?"
Of course, Wu Jing was because of this, but he was embarrassed to say it clearly, and said stiffly: "Do your best, obey the destiny of heaven, your senior brother and I can do everything, what are you worried about!
Du Xiaorao was selected as the heroine of "Nuwa Mending the Sky" and signed a contract with Longlin Pictures, which can be called one of the most exciting entertainment news in 13 years. can be compared, it is estimated that only the box office of "Hou Yi Shoots the Sun", which can be said to be famous in one fell swoop!
Lu Lin knew that he was duplicitous, and he didn't break it, so he sandwiched a piece of hand-cut mutton, soaked it in the pot, and suddenly said: "Don't worry, Longlin's product must be a high-quality product!"
Wu Jing bowed slightly, and said: "I believe this, but many people hate the main theme, and they are afraid that we will spend so much hard work and such a big investment, and in the end it will be unsatisfactory!"
Lu Lin laughed, seeing the posture on his senior brother's face that he was worried and wanted to cover up, he felt that he should really cheer this one up. Just like in the book "Three Kingdoms", Guo Jia put forward the theory of ten victories and ten defeats before the battle of Guandu, which inspired Cao Ying's people.
"This year's Chinese New Year stalls, there is no huge amount of money, a lack of famous directors, and few big names. can compete with "Wolf Warrior", which is Director Feng's "Private Custom" and Cheng Long's "Police Story 2013". Brother Cheng Long is old, and besides, this film was also filmed for the sake of the scenery, so you know!"
Wu Jing smiled, "You really have a newcomer and forget the old, so belittle your family!"
Lu Lin hurriedly said: "Hey, you can't talk nonsense, I'm just friends with her." ”
Wu Jing smiled evilly and said, "I believe you, I'm just a friend!"
Lu Lin paused his chopsticks and said indifferently: "After all, it's different from our identity!"
Wu Jing nodded slightly, took a pair of chopsticks and mutton, and said while eating: "Go on, what about "Private Custom"!"
Lu Lin was a little disdainful, and smiled: "Well, it's just a circle of money!"
Wu Jing was a little puzzled, and said: "But Mr. Feng Dao Jiage's appeal is great, I watched the news this morning, and Director Feng just left handprints and footprints on the Avenue of Stars yesterday!"
Wu Jing is talking about the "Avenue of Fame" in front of the Chinese Theater in Hollywood, which has been inlaid with more than 2,000 stars engraved with the names of world celebrities since 1960, including not only entertainment stars, but also sports stars, world celebrities, and even virtual characters such as Mickey Mouse. In addition, there are handprints, footprints, signatures, and even nose prints of nearly 200 world celebrities.
Director Feng's time in print is November 1, which is the first person in the mainland film industry. Before him, Cheng Long and Wu Baige left imprints, and the Chinese who owned the stars were Cheng Long and Li Xiaolong.
In fact, when "Hou Yi Shoots the Sun" was released in North America, Richard Fox had a proposal. But Lu Lin felt that the number of his works was too small, so he pushed this matter away.
However, "foreign monks will chant scriptures", Director Feng held a personal film festival in North America, and "Private Custom" represented mainland films to participate in this year's Oscar Best Foreign Language Film competition, and the news came back to China, which still made some people feel very excited.
And the momentum of "Private Custom" has become more and more huge, and it has become the box office champion candidate for the 2013 Chinese New Year at the end of 2013 in the hearts of many people.
Lu Lin knew what the film was like, so he laughed and said, "You haven't noticed that Director Feng's tone in the recent publicity is different from the past?"
Wu Jing is not a fine person, so he really didn't pay attention to these, and hesitated: "The tone is different?"
Lu Lin took a bite of mutton and said: "Do you remember the propaganda of "1942", if you don't cry, you smoke me, if you don't cry, you're not a person!"
Wu Jing nodded, took a sip of wine and said, "Remember, it's too hard!"
Lu Lin said: "Look at this time, Director Feng and Teacher Ge are not as hard as before, and they don't talk about film evaluation." In the words of Qin Fen in "Insincerity 2", the past two years have been a bit empty!"
Wu Jing suddenly said, "They don't have confidence in this film?"
Lu Lin said: "This is the ruthless loss of "1942", make a money-making film and return it to Huayi!"
Wu Jing nodded slightly, and said with a smile: "If you want to say that, I can relax a lot!"
Lu Lin didn't care, and said while eating: "I didn't think you were quite entangled, what level of our film is filmed, you don't know, you don't have confidence at every turn!"
Wu Jing silently took a sip of wine, and said after a while: "Senior brother is known as the emperor of kung fu, and the classic images are Huang Feihong, Fang Shiyu, Zhang Sanfeng, Huo Yuanjia, Chen Zhen...... Cheng Long also has a bunch of masterpieces, and even Zhen Zidan is popular with Ip Man, but I, Wu Jing, have been fighting for so many years, and I am known as a 'kung fu boy', I am unwilling, and I am not willing to die!"
Lu Lin knew that Wu Jing at this moment was not just worried about the performance of a film "Wolf Warrior", but worried about his delay in not having a masterpiece.
Eighteen years after his debut, he was injured, and he was old if he didn't have a masterpiece!
Thinking of this, Lu Lin picked up the cup and said, "Don't worry, senior brother, your movie will definitely start at the box office of one billion!"
Wu Jing still believed in Lu Lin's vision, and said in surprise: "Really?"
Lu Lin said with a smile: "Of course, Longlin Pictures is very optimistic about this film, and the announcement of this guarantee will surprise you!"
Lu Lin said that there would be promotions such as 9.9 and 19.9 in the future, but Wu Jing thought that he would increase publicity, so he didn't think much about it. He knocked the glass down and said, "It's all in the wine!"
Because they were busy with work the next day, the two of them didn't drink much, so they broke up early to rest.
Early the next morning, Lu Lin first looked at the special effects shot of "Wolf Warrior" made by Tiangong with Wu Jing, and saw that it basically met the requirements, so it was over. As for the settlement of the account period, there are special staff to do it.
Wu Jing left, while Lu Lin continued to shoot "Nuwa Mending the Sky". Compared with the attention of "Hou Yi Shooting the Sun" when it was launched, the city was full of wind and rain brought by Nuwa's casting, but no one paid attention to it when filming really started.
Because in the public's impression, this film is not just a co-worker crashing into the mountains, the heavenly pillars are broken, and the earth is extinct. The sky is tilted to the northwest, and the earth is not satisfied with the southeast, does Nuwa refine the five-color stone to make up for the sky?
This kind of plot is very shocking with special effects, but if Nuwa is a mixed sage and takes her as the protagonist, the contradictions throughout the film are not easy to think.
In addition, the casting activities are dazzling, the start-up ceremony is low-key, and the start-up shooting has no sense of existence. On the contrary, it is the relationship between Lu Lin and Du Xiaorao, the "Six Beauties Detective Class", and the performance of many first-line actresses in this casting for the majority of netizens.
On the set, Du Xiaorao, who had put on makeup, picked up the script and read it again while waiting, and saw that the above description of the plot outline is:
"Zixiao Palace, when Hongjun Ancestor preached, although Nuwa had obtained a Hongmeng purple qi, she only had the strength of a quasi-saint. When I heard about the three clearings, the introduction, and the continuous sermons, I couldn't help but feel anxious.
One day, Nuwa was traveling in the flood wilderness, and suddenly heard someone behind her, "Fellow Daoists, please stay, you have a relationship with me in the West......"
