Chapter 548: Egoism
On May 5, "Beijing Love Story" held a launch conference in Beijing.
At the kind invitation of Cheng Sicheng, Lin Xiaoguang also participated in the press conference of the film as an investor this time.
As a love movie with an investment of up to 50 million, "Beijing Love Story" has a luxurious cast.
At this film press conference, in addition to actor Leung Jiahui, actress Carina Lau, Cheng Sicheng, who directed, wrote and acted by herself, and her lover Dong Liya, as well as Yu Nan, Siqin Gaowa, Liu Haoran, Ouyang Nana and others were present to support.
Although Lin Xiaoguang is not an actor in the crew, he is the most box office appeal film director in China and one of the producers of "Beijing Love Story", and he also sits in the middle of the podium with Cheng Sicheng.
The following is a group of entertainment reporters, director Cheng Sicheng introduced some basic information of the movie and the theme of the movie, and said solemnly: "Now enter the reporter's question session, all reporters and friends can ask questions freely." ”
As soon as he heard that he could ask his own questions, the reporters sitting in the audience were still sleepy little sheep one second, and the next second they directly turned into big bad wolves with their mouths wide open, and they rushed forward one after another to interview several celebrities sitting on the stage.
"Brother Jiahui, hello, I am a reporter from Nandu Entertainment, I want to ask you, what kind of person is the character you play in the movie "Beijing Love Story" this time?"
"Sister Jialing, hello, I'm a reporter from Entertainment Weekly, may I ask ......?"
"Hello Director Cheng, this is your first time as a film director, is there any difference between directing a TV series before?"
“……”
"Hello Miss Dong Liya, I am a reporter from Tencent News, can you reveal what kind of role you play in the movie?"
Dong Liya glanced at Cheng Sicheng, and after getting Cheng Sicheng's nod of approval, Fang relieved her mouth and said: "In the movie, I play an urban white-collar worker who met his love story at a party. ”
"Yaya, as a newcomer to the film, are you sure to control your role?
Dong Liya smiled and said, "It should be no problem, no problem, you don't believe in your acting skills, you also have to believe in the director's vision." ”
After asking around according to the process, the reporters pointed the microphone at Lin Xiaoguang, one of the producers.
Even if there are actors, actresses, and old actors like Siqin Gaowa supporting the scene, Lin Xiaoguang still becomes the only focus of the audience.
After "Thai Embarrassment" won the first place at the box office in film history, everyone had high hopes for Lin Xiaoguang's next movie.
"Director Lin, hello, can you tell us when the sequel to "People in Embarrassment" will start filming?"
Lin Xiaoguang shook his head: "I haven't thought about it for the time being, unless I have a good idea, I won't easily make a series of embarrassing movies." ”
"Then Director Lin has considered shooting other film works?"
In order to prevent himself from declaring an army to seize the master, Lin Xiaoguang said earnestly: "No...... I'll interrupt...... Because today is the launch conference of the movie "Beijing Love Story", I hope you can focus on "Beijing Love Story" again, and don't ask questions that have nothing to do with "Beijing Love Story", thank you for your cooperation. ”
"Director Lin, hello, will you play a role in the movie "Northern Love" this time?"
Seeing that the reporter's question was back on track, Lin Xiaoguang breathed a sigh of relief: "I'm sorry, I attended the film press conference as an investor and producer this time, and I shouldn't play any role in the movie." ”
"Have you considered a cameo?"
Lin Xiaoguang said calmly: "If there is a suitable role, I am willing to make a cameo." ”
After an interview, the launch conference of "Beijing Love Story" came to a successful conclusion.
"Beijing Love Story", which was written, directed and acted by Cheng Sicheng, was finally officially launched on the same day.
In the following month, Lin Xiaoguang basically ran between the crew of "Hypnosis Master" and the crew of "Beijing Love Story".
Although Lin Xiaoguang served as the producer of two films at the same time this time, he felt that he was much more relaxed than when he was a director before.
Because in the crew of "Master of Hypnosis", Cheng Qixi is in control of the overall situation, and Li Yaping is also in charge of the crew of "Beijing Love Story", Lin Xiaoguang is almost in a leisurely state.
Soon, Lin Xiaoguang was targeted by Cheng Sicheng, and he wanted to invite Lin Xiaoguang to make a cameo appearance in the movie "Beijing Love Story".
In fact, Cheng Sicheng mentioned this idea to Lin Xiaoguang in the early stage of preparation, and at the beginning, Cheng Sicheng wanted Lin Xiaoguang to play the role of Wang Xuebing for free - Wu Zheng.
This so-called Wu Zheng is a friend of the male No. 1 Chen Feng, a "superb scumbag", and the leader of the "Three", lingering every night in the sound of dogs and horses.
Lin Xiaoguang is stupid to take on such a thankless role, Cheng Sicheng not only wants to match him, but also wants to be free, and there is no door.
And Cheng Sicheng's conduct in the world, Lin Xiaoguang has also heard of it in the circle.
If Lin Xiaoguang hadn't taken a fancy to Cheng Sicheng's talent and the box office potential of the movie "Beijing Love Story", he and Cheng Sicheng would have been friends at most.
You must know that Cheng Sicheng's quality of forgetting his righteousness has been personally certified by the "Soldier Assault" brotherhood.
Cheng Sicheng can have today, and it is absolutely indispensable to the support of the brothers in the "Soldier Assault".
I think that at the beginning, before the TV series "Beijing Love Story" was launched, Cheng Sicheng's development was definitely the least outstanding among Huayi's soldiers.
After all, Huang Baoqiang is an explosive success, and has also launched several singles, as well as TV series with good ratings such as "My Brother is Shunyo", and also served as the male lead in many movies such as "People in Embarrassment" and "Thai Embarrassment".
And Li Chen and Duan Yihong are also both TV series and movies, the former is very popular with the bigwigs in the Beijing circle, and the latter has strong acting skills, with good reputation, ratings and box office works, and they are advancing rapidly, and Zhang Yi has made a name for himself in TV series.
And Cheng Sicheng is always almost hot, mixed in the circle of TV dramas, and among the films filmed, the top is Yu Zheng's "Big Girl".
In the film circle, Cheng Sicheng has only one good literary film resource, that is, Lou Ye's "Spring Breeze Drunk Night", because it involves the topic of homosexuality, it has not caused a splash, and most of the other film resources are three times behind, and even the poster will not have him.
During that time, Cheng Sicheng didn't talk much about the girl, and there were Shen Jiani, Cao Xiwen and others who were public, and it is said that in the list that was not made public, there was also Wang Shi's braised pork girl independent woman - Tian Pujun.
Feng Xiaotank's idol is Wang Shuo, and Cheng Sicheng says that his idol is Jiang Wen all day long, who is not only a successful actor, but also a director with great ideas.
But in Lin Xiaoguang's opinion, Cheng Sicheng did not become Jiang Wen, but became more and more similar to his predecessor Feng Xiaowan.
Because Cheng Sicheng's success story is more inspirational and thick than the old-timers.
At the end of 2010, Cheng Sicheng directed his first work, the TV series "Beijing Love Story", and was officially promoted to director Xiao Cheng.
It was the soldiers who helped Cheng Sicheng to ascend to the throne, and the love story was first an original autobiographical in the blog of his friend Brother Li Chen.
Brother Shi not only contributed his own story, but also helped Cheng Sicheng bring a group of friends to help, such as producer Teng Huatao, starring Zhang Yi, Yang Mi and Mo Xiaoqi and others, plus Brother Shi is also in charge of starring and producer, it can be said that half of the crew of "Beijing Love Story" was saved up by Brother Shi.
Brother Shi and Zhang Yi did their best to help Cheng Sicheng realize his dream, and they also lowered their salaries.
Zhang Yi later recalled this incident.
"My brother is very important to me, so I have to help him at an important stage in his life. I haven't even read the script, and my salary is less than a third. ”
At the end of 2011, "Northern Love" was launched, and almost all the brothers who came to help collapsed.
Many scenes in the play have been cut, and the protagonists have become Cheng Sicheng and Dong Liya he is chasing, which is many and lengthy.
And with Cheng Sicheng and Dong Liya's coffee position at that time, she was not worthy of Yang Mi, Li Chen, Zhang Yi and others, so they carried a sedan chair.
Cheng Sicheng's press release came out, and the credit for this crew was almost all his own, saying that he wrote, directed, and acted by himself, and the publicity points focused on were all him and Dong Liya, Brother Shi and Zhang Yi and other people almost didn't give it popularity.
The most angry is Zhang Yi, the character of Shi Xiaomeng in his play has completely become a phoenix man who abandons his girlfriend for money, and there is a lot of scolding on the Internet.
Cheng Sicheng also said everywhere that Shi Xiaomeng's experience is Zhang Yi's experience.
The truth that a good character can escort an actor was already understood by Cheng Sicheng before he became director Xiao Cheng.
And Zhang Yi, who accepted it without reading the script, ate a stuffy stick on his head, and lost a lot of girl fans because of this drama.
In fact, it is normal to think about it, because what director Xiao Cheng admires in "Northern Love" is that the rich second generation he plays relied on his wealth and power to rob his good brother's girlfriend, and finally sat on love, friendship and family affection.
However, as the ratings of "Northern Love" soared, what followed was the news of the brothers' opposites.
Zhang Yi hinted that the news was hyped by someone, but it was not him, nor was it spread by Li Chen, and from that time on, except for Huang Baoqiang, the brothers of the "Soldier Assault" never contacted Cheng Sicheng again.
