Chapter 521: Tell the Truth
Li Bingbing glanced at Lin Xiaoguang charmingly: "If you have something to say, just say it, what do you want to sell with me!"
Lin Xiaoguang smiled and said, "No, I just think that your sister has high means, and she can help you with any resources." ”
Li Bingbing was not happy, and asked rhetorically: "Who told you that my sister helped me talk about this movie?"
Lin Xiaoguang said half-understandingly: "Didn't your sister introduce Wendi Deng to you and get to know you?"
Li Bingbing said unconvinced: "That's right, but Wendi Deng dealt with my sister because of my fame." ”
"But...... How do I remember that it was said on the news that the heroine of "Snow Secret Fan" was not you, but Zhang Ziyi?"
Li Bingbing said proudly: "International Zhang is no longer good, now is the era of my international soldiers." ”
"What do you mean? Isn't Zhang Ziyi quite popular in the past few years?"
"Red is quite red, but it's black and red, and it's news that doesn't make it to the table all day long. ”
"So you mean to say that it was Zhang Ziyi's fall that gave you the opportunity to star in this movie. ”
Li Bingbing sighed: "Although I don't want to admit it, it's true. ”
In fact, whether it is a female star or a male star, if you want to get on the top, there are only two ways, one is to be on the top of the bull X, and the other is that the opponent above has fallen off and fills the position by yourself.
Li Bingbing's stall is the second type.
At the end of last year, Zhang Ziyi's "splashing ink gate" broke out, and a huge benefit fell on Li Bingbing's head, and she became one of the biggest beneficiaries.
And the movie "Snowflake Secret Fan" was originally a game of two wealthy wives, Wendi Deng and Florence Sloan, the wife of the president of MGM Studios, plus Zhang Ziyi, a quasi-wealthy Mrs. Kuo, as producers.
It's just that I didn't expect Zhang Ziyi to fold.
Just when Zhang Ziyi was still pulling investment for the movie "Snowflake Secret Fan" everywhere, it happened that the "splashing ink door" was exposed.
Not long after Zhang Ziyi's "splashing ink door", there were "fraudulent donation doors" and "temptation doors", and even at the beginning of the year, there were scandals with Zhao Wei's husband Huang Youlong.
Zhang Ziyi's team was busy posting videos and pictures of her practicing hard in "The Grandmaster" to do positive image public relations, and had no time to engage in "Snowflake Secret Fan", that is, at that time, she was regarded as an outcast by the other two real Mrs. Kuo.
So, Wendi Deng found Li Bingbing.
At that time, Li Bingbing also wanted to refuse this film, she felt that she was too tired to act, and it was her sister Li Xue who asked her many times to reluctantly accept it.
Moreover, Hua Yi is not optimistic about this film, he did not invest a lot of money, and he did not advertise too much that this was a film they invested.
However, in general, because of his sister Li Xue's insistence, Li Bingbing entered a new circle this time.
After walking the red carpet of the premiere, Lin Xiaoguang, Li Bingbing, Deng Wendi, and the audience spent a depressed 100 minutes in the screening hall.
To be honest, "Snowflake Secret Fan" is well-made, technically in all aspects, and the director also controls the narrative rhythm well, not in a hurry, and the performances of almost all the actors are just right in terms of heat, except for Jun Ji-hyun's Mandarin, which is slightly blunt.
However, because the director is too obsessed with his tepid literary temperament, the whole film has no climax at all.
In Lin Xiaoguang's view, the most dramatic scene in the whole movie is Jun Ji-hyun riding a bicycle through Shanghai Beach at night, and then had a car accident.
What is anxious is that the moment it collided, the director also used a black screen treatment.
Do you say that people are angry?
The most important temperament of literary films is sullenness, but the biggest feature of "Snowflake Secret Fan" is that it is sullen but not sullen, suffocating you to pull it down.
Of course, these are not the most deadly, the biggest failure of "Snowflake Secret Fan" is still in the story itself, to be precise, in the adaptation of the original book.
The key word of "Snowflake Secret Fan" is "Lao Tong", which refers to a woman born on the same day, the same month, and the same year, and the agreement to form an alliance is "Lao Tong", just like a spiritual marriage, and the friendship can last a lifetime.
Such a relationship is not homosexual, it goes beyond sisters and good friends, and it will not be broken apart by the distance between them, or loneliness, or if one party marries into a better family, nor will other girls or women be allowed to intervene.
"The Secret Fan of Snowflakes" tells the story of 19th century China, when women had to bind their feet, and only those who had a perfect pair of three-inch golden lotuses could marry well, and women's lives were almost completely cut off from the outside world.
Two young girls, Lily and Xuehua, become "old comrades" under the matchmaker's matchmaking.
But as time passed, Lily married into a rich family, and Xuehua's family fell into the middle of the road and married a butcher.
Snowflake designs to break off relations with Lily because she doesn't want to be a burden to Lily, but before Lily dies, the misunderstanding between the two is cleared up.
If this is the kind of story, then Lin Xiaoguang is willing to believe it, because in that era, women had no social activities, let alone associate with men other than their husbands, and it was possible for two women who were good friends to have a lifelong concern, beyond love, and beyond homosexuality.
It may be that the choreographer and director deliberately want to show their super ability to control the story and narrative, or they may be afraid that a simple modern story will not be watched by contemporary people, and too many commercial elements have been considered, the movie "Snowflake Secret Fan" added a parallel contemporary thread, and used this line to index the original story, and the two lines were interspersed.
And Sophia and Nina in the modern story are a copy of the original story, Nina and Sophia think about each other, and in the end, Sophia deliberately got angry with Nina in order to let Nina develop in New York, and finally got into a car accident because she couldn't let go of Nina, and Nina finally understood Sophia's hard work.
Do you believe such a story?
Anyway, Lin Xiaoguang doesn't believe it, in this contemporary society where information is highly developed and interpersonal communication is completely free, and they are not homosexuals, nor are they sisters (even sisters are not like this), what is this same-sex friendship between them?
Is it a bit of an imposition on others and the audience?
After the premiere of the movie, Wendi Deng specially invited the guests to have dinner at the five-star hotel.
Deng Wendi asked with great interest: "Lin Dong, I heard that you are the film director who knows the market best in China now, how much box office do you think our film can win in China?"
As soon as the words fell, Li Bingbing also looked at Lin Xiaoguang expectantly.
Lin Xiaoguang smiled: "Deng always wants to hear the truth, or is it a lie?"
Deng Wendi also smiled and said: "Of course it's the truth, don't have a psychological burden, just say what you think." ”
Lin Xiaoguang thought for a while, and then said: "Then I'll tell you the truth, I think it should be okay to break through 30 million, as for 50 million, it's a bit hanging." ”
Deng Wendi said disapprenously: "It seems that Lin Dong is not optimistic about our movie." ”
Lin Xiaoguang smiled: "It's not that I'm not optimistic, I'm just seeking truth from facts." ”
