Chapter 424: "White Snake" is launched
The seventh day of the Lunar New Year is Valentine's Day, and countless men and women come out on dates, so that the box office of the movie rolls up, and the market exceeds 600 million in a single day.
Among them, "The Mermaid" won 311 million yuan, contributing half of the box office, and the market performance was extremely strong. As a result, the media has received countless praises, and "spiritual shareholders" are everywhere, expecting "Mermaid" to exceed 3 billion yuan and win the box office championship in the mainland market.
The main reason is that Lu Lin has "occupied" the mainland box office champion for many years (he was won by Wu Jing once halfway), and both the media and the audience are a little aesthetically fatigued.
And Lu Lin, who was temporarily "abandoned", chose to hold the launching ceremony of "White Snake: Origin" on Valentine's Day, thinking that it would be more meaningful than other activities.
Since it is the story of the "White Lady", West Lake, Broken Bridge, and Leifeng Pagoda are indispensable, so the start-up ceremony was chosen in Lin'an.
There is no need to think about the broken bridge, although it is still crowded on weekdays, and finally settled in the Kunlong Resort in the West Lake Scenic Area.
In the open space in front of the hotel, a temporary stage was set up, on which was written the opening ceremony of "White Snake: Origin" and the new film press conference.
Behind the cordon in front of the stage, there were 100 media reporters from all over the country. Further on, there were some fans and tourists from the neighborhood who rushed to hear the news.
Before the ceremony began, there was a lot of discussion and noise.
Someone sighed: "Hey, this Lu Lin has also fallen, he actually used Jing Yan to play the White Lady, how can he compare with Zhao Yazhi!"
"I can't imagine it!"
"Besides, the story of "The Legend of the White Snake" is quite simple, and there is nothing new in how to shoot it!"
"It can't be worse than "The Legend of the White Snake", right?"
"I can't!"
"These two films are really similar, they are both women who want the big boss to praise themselves!"
"Hey, it's really alas, hey, it's out, it's out!"
Seeing the host on stage to thank him, the people at the scene all stretched their necks to look around, and after a while, they saw Lu Lin bringing Jing Yan, Zhang Tianxuan, Jin Shijie, Huang Bo, Song Yang, Wang Ziwen, Xin Zilei and others to the stage.
"Today is the opening ceremony and new film launch conference of the film "White Snake: Origin", which is exclusively produced and produced by Longlin Pictures, thank you media friends and enthusiastic audiences for coming to cheer!" Lu Lin, who took the microphone, said the first sentence.
This movie, because there are relatively few big scenes, and the interest of other companies is relatively average, it is rare to be exclusively produced by Longlin Pictures.
After saying a few words and some specious film introductions, he quickly entered the question session, "Hello Director Lu, I am Aiqiyi Entertainment, I have been hearing that Director Zhou Xingxing intends to make a cameo appearance in this movie, and I want to ask what role he will play in it!"
Lu Lin smiled and said, "Actually, I'm quite curious about your question." When I was on the phone with Director Zhou before, I invited him to come over and make a cameo. Director Zhou said that he was very interested in the story of White Snake, but said that he hadn't acted in a movie for seven or eight years, and he was afraid of standing in front of the camera, so he was still thinking about it!"
Most of the reporters and viewers in the audience were more excited when they heard this, and they rushed to say: "Director Lu, you can communicate with Director Zhou again, it's okay for him to show up!"
"Yes, Director Lu, we really want to see him on the big screen again!"
Lu Lin smiled in his heart: "Are you here to support or smash the field!"
I heard the people again: "Director Lu, if you really come to make a cameo, what role do you plan to let him play, Supreme Treasure?"
This proposal made many people smile, and Lu Lin said: "This still needs to be kept secret!"
After that, the reporters turned their attention to Jing Yan and Zhang Tianhua, both of whom are about 1.8 meters tall, and they are both wearing skinny jeans with beautiful legs, and they really complement each other when they stand together.
Not long after Zhang Tianhua became popular with "The Promotion of the Crown Princess", he was invited by Longlin Pictures to play Xiaoqing in the blockbuster "White Snake: Origin", and went directly from the small screen to the big screen, which is a big explosion in his career, and his attitude is very modest.
And Xin Zilei, who is not well-known, plays the snake mother in the film, and when she looks at Jing Yan and Zhang Tianhua, she is full of envy.
As for Wang Ziwen, who played the little fox demon who was the owner of Baoqingfang, he wore a pair of "hating the sky" and stood at the end of the team, always facing the media with a smile.
Another person who has attracted more media attention is Huang Bo, because among the actors present, Jin Shijie is too old, and Song Yang is still close to the appearance of a monk, so it can't be Huang Bo who plays Fahai, right?
In response to this question, Huang Bo smiled into the microphone and said: "Actually, I really don't know what my role in the film is, but Director Lu called me a while ago and said, Hey Brother Bo, I have a new film here, do you want to make a cameo!"
A reporter in the audience said: "Won't it still be like the cameo in "Journey to the West", right?"
In "Journey to the West", Huang Bo played the "human form" of Sun Wukong, although his appearance time was short, he was extremely impressive. The ruthlessness and treachery of Sun Wukong, the peerless demon king, are too expressive, and they have always been talked about.
As for the above question, Huang Bo changed the topic, "Then this depends on Director Lu's arrangement!"
Lu Lin said with a smile: "Mr. Huang Bo's acting skills are obvious to everyone, and his performance will definitely leave a very deep impression on everyone!"
At the end of the new film press conference, incense, worship, and red cloth were revealed, and a set of processes was over.
At noon, a banquet was arranged at the resort, and media friends who came to interview were invited to the banquet, and "carriage and horse fares" were issued. Lu Lin and others had dinner in a high-end box in the resort.
At the dinner table, Huang Bo was also a little curious: "By the way, Director Lu, what kind of character do you want to invite a guest appearance?"
He really didn't ask, because he had collaborated on "Heart Flower Road" before, and the relationship between them was not bad. Lu Lin is a famous director and a big boss, and he called and asked him to help play a small role, Huang Bo responded very "atmosphericly", and he didn't sign a contract to be paid, so he really didn't know.
Lu Lin said simply, meaning to ask him to dub the pet dog "belly pocket" in the film, and then make a cameo appearance at the end of the film as Li Gongfu, the reincarnated brother-in-law of Xu Xian in the "belly pocket".
Huang Bo sighed when he heard this, "One asked me to play a monkey, and the other asked me to play a dog, how can this big director want to go together!"
The people at the table laughed, and Wang Ziwen, who had been silent, suddenly blinked and said, "I play a fox!"
Xin Zilei also said: "I play a snake!"
Zhang Tianyao held Jing Yan's hand and said, "The two of us play the green snake and the white snake!"
Huang Bo said again: "Okay, it's about to become an animal world!" The people in the box laughed again.
This meal was eaten until the afternoon, and no shooting tasks were arranged. As for the next day, I had to get up early and shoot closed on the broken bridge between 6 and 8 o'clock.
