Chapter 43: A Trailer
There was a bang, and the door was kicked open!
"Police, don't move!"
Several pistols were pointed at a woman in a black leather suit with her back to the door.
She raised her hand and slowly stood up.
The back curve is graceful and incomparably attractive.
The camera switches, in the middle of a large number of police cars, a chubby middle-aged policeman with some disdain, "This is our business, we don't need others to interfere!"
A man with sunglasses said indifferently: "I'm afraid your people are finished!"
The camera suddenly cuts back, the woman in the black leather coat turned around and grabbed the gun in less than a second, and then, facing the other two policemen behind her, she suddenly jumped up, and the phone screen became extremely fast and instantly became extremely slow, it looked like slow motion, but the strange thing is that this is not actually slow motion - the camera actually made a lateral movement of about 180 degrees around her amazing posture of jumping up!
It's almost impossible to accomplish!
This is something that no one has ever done in the past in cinematic lenses!
In such a shot, her posture is extremely beautiful!
The kick she kicked in the air looked so sharp and amazing, full of power and beauty!
In the next second, the camera suddenly became faster again.
Two policemen were kicked away by her.
Bang bang bang!
Gunshots rang out.
The beautiful woman made another astonishing move, walking a few surprisingly quick steps along the wall of the room, at an angle parallel to the ground, and then kicked at the policemen who had fired before they could react.
The next second scream was about to sound, and her long legs were already infinitely close to the camera, and suddenly, the camera was everything, and a deep voice said: "Are you sure that the world you live in is real?"
A man suddenly woke up, his face full of panic.
He, like the woman just now, is a typical Oriental appearance.
The camera cuts and the voiceover sounds again, "Make your choice and get out here in the mud, or get out and see the real world." ”
The camera turns again, in a restaurant, a middle-aged sloppy man with some beard chews in his mouth, the knife and fork have continued to fork a piece of cut beef, chewing with a happy face, "Although I know it's all fake, it's just a string of number symbols, but it's really so fat and juicy." ”
The man in black with sunglasses on the opposite side was expressionless and leaned forward, "Help me, I'll give you everything you want." ”
"Neo!"
The oriental woman who appeared at the beginning of the film looked frightened and shouted loudly.
The camera suddenly cut away, and a few lines of English appeared on the screen, and then, the title that occupied the center of the picture finally appeared, which was extremely large.
July 21, insight into the truth of this world!
The Matrix!
…………
The screen flashed, then went black.
Producer Iger put down the remote control in his hand, faced everyone in the conference room, and said, "SO, the trailer is wonderful, isn't it?"
Everyone was noncommittal, although one or two of them nodded, but looking at their expressions, they seemed to be unimpressed.
Suddenly, someone said, "Is there a trailer in this world that isn't exciting?"
Quite a few laughed at the same time.
Egger laughed too.
Yes, no matter how bad a film is, before it is released, it often cuts out a very wonderful trailer - many film critics in North America have said this, if those directors can use the skills of creating trailers to create movies, then the audience is blessed.
At this time, there is humanity: "The male and female protagonists are Chinese, and China Qian only appears as a director, I think he is too arrogant, if he plays the male protagonist, maybe it is worth paying more attention to." ”
In the conference room, many people nodded when they heard this.
Yes, the male and female protagonists are both Chinese and Oriental.
For audiences in North America, it is basically an Oriental who cannot distinguish faces.
In Hollywood films, the United States is undoubtedly the most democratic country in the world, and even in recent years, black actors have become more and more important in Hollywood movies, and every movie must have black people playing, and important black characters must not be bad people, this configuration has become a standard "political correctness", it seems that the multi-ethnic settlement in the United States is simply perfect.
The United States has always claimed to be the country in the world that most respects and attaches the greatest importance to safeguarding human rights.
But in fact, xenophobia is everywhere, anti-black is everywhere, and anti-Chinese is everywhere.
The works of Chinese directors, no problem, the works of China Qian, even more so are no problems, there is an important supporting role in the movie is the face of an Oriental, no problem, if it is a beauty that conforms to the aesthetics of Westerners, it will be better, but, the hero and heroine are Orientals?
That's looking for death!
Even if there is no xenophobic thought, the average audience in North America will be face blind to the faces of the East.
So, maybe China Liao can become popular in Europe and the United States, and China Qian and his four major beauty bands can also become popular overnight, but so far, no Eastern face has ever been able to mix even second-tier stars in Hollywood!
At this time, Iger said with a smile: "Maybe China Qian thinks that he bought Columbia, so he can be qualified to control the preferences of the audience in North America!"
This remark was very humorous, and many people laughed.
After saying that, Iger turned his head to look at Thoss Gross, who is also the director of "Jurassic Park 2: The Lost World", and said, "Hey, South, what do you think?"
Soth Gross shrugged his shoulders and said: "I really like this trailer, and I am also very curious about the story that this movie is going to tell, because as far as I know, although Chinese movies never seem to make science fiction, it seems that they can't shoot well at all, but I have seen China Qian's "Once Upon a Time", and I know that they are very good at shooting action scenes and martial arts scenes, and in this regard, they are even better than Hollywood!"
Everyone didn't speak, they all looked at him.
But at this time, he spread his hands again and said, "But ...... We've got dinosaurs!"
Many people couldn't help but burst out laughing--listening to him lay down such a big article, it turned out that he settled here! This does seem a bit humorous! It seems that the rumors are not true, and Soth Gross is not so dull!
Egger also laughed at this time, and said confidently: "Yes, we have dinosaurs!"
As he spoke, he stood up with a proud posture of looking down on the world.
"Two years ago in the summer, Jurassic Park grossed $1.23 billion worldwide, and we were the second highest-grossing movie in the world since the invention of cinema, behind James Cameron's Titanic! Damn James! But he couldn't make a sequel, his ship was sunk, but we could! People love dinosaurs, people love their sharp teeth, they love their sharp claws! They love their roars! They love being scared by dinosaurs!"
"It's ridiculous that our Chinese partner actually suggested that we start a period of time with the release of "The Matrix", and they said that "The Matrix" would have a huge impact on us! They suggested that we adjust the release time in China to August! I told him that we are dinosaurs! We are not afraid of anyone, everyone needs to be afraid of us, even if it is in China, even if it is in his China!"
"Our Chinese friend said that in the Chinese film market last year, three of the four films directed and written by China Qian had a box office of more than 500 million Chinese yuan, and his animated film, Seven Little Hulu, also got 400 million Chinese yuan, but I told him that we got more than 400 million Chinese yuan from China in 2002! That was in 2002, at that time, Chinese his own movies were just getting started, and in addition to China Qin, even China Qian's first "Huang" was not as high as our box office! We don't need to avoid him! We're bigger!"
"We have stronger bodies, sharper teeth, and claws!"
"So, not only do we not have to shy away from China in the North American market, but we don't need to be afraid in China! We've all seen South's films, and he's done a great job! This is a great work, The Lost World, yes, that's it, all kinds of dinosaurs, incredibly realistic dinosaurs, it's going to be a unique frightening trip for audiences everywhere in the world! They're going to pay willingly!"
Speaking of this, Iger sat down and said, "So, we will promote according to the set goal. Don't bother with The Matrix!"
There was applause in the room.
Very warm.
…………
"Hi, Sister Ming. ”
"Hey, Xiaoyu, sit!"
In the café, Ming Xiaojing closed the laptop in front of him and asked with a smile, "I came by car?"
He Yingyu shook her head while putting the bag down, and said, "No." I'm getting more and more disgusted with driving now, especially in the city, and alas, it's been getting more and more congested in the last two years. So, assistant drives!"
Ming Xiaojing laughed.
Waiting for the waiter to come over, He Yingyu ordered a cup of coffee, and then she said again: "It's going to be released in a few days, so you're starting to get busy, right?"
Ming Xiaojing sighed, "It's already started." Record programs, all kinds of crazy recording programs. ”
Ming Xiaojing smiled and said, "I heard that you are responsible for running to the East, and Baoshan is responsible for going to Europe and the United States?"
He Yingyu nodded, smiled, and looked helpless, "What else should I do? Our director is an uncle!
This is not confidential information, and He Yingyu naturally does not have to hide it.
"The two of us first recorded the show here together, and then waited until the release, I first went to the domestic side, Baoshan to the United States, from the United States may have to go to Europe, a few days, during which I went from China to Japan, South Korea, and then to Southeast Asia, so a big circle, and in the end, the two of us went back to China to meet, and then participated in a series of activities. ”
Ming Xiaojing laughed when he heard this.
This is of course the real situation, and the actor is indeed tired enough to run during the promotion period. But what He Yingyu said was so lively, to put it bluntly, it was also a self-raising value to a certain extent!
After all, this is the second Li Qian movie she has made.
It is also an international co-production and a film released simultaneously around the world! It is the first film to hit the world after Minghu Culture completed the acquisition of Colombia!
Her pride and pride were palpable.
The actor Zhou Baoshan and the heroine were both called by Li Qian to make a movie for the second time, and Li Qian's "liking the new and hating the old" is well known in the circle and within Minghu culture.
Through this "The Matrix", Zhou Baoshan and He Yingyu are brought together, and in the interpretation of the circle and Minghu culture, in fact, Li Qian, as the boss, has established the key direction of Minghu culture in terms of actors in the next development.
The actor focuses on promoting the kung fu superstar Zhou Baoshan, and the actress focuses on promoting the young girl He Yingyu, who can be literate and martial.
This means that He Yingyu's worth and status are not what they were at the beginning.
After "My Sassy Girlfriend" became popular, and after filming "The Door of Life and Death" and "Plan B", He Yingyu was extremely popular at that time, but then, because of the continuous disagreement between Minghu Culture and Huafei Film and Television and Oriental Media Group, He Yingyu's worth was high, but she faced the embarrassment of almost no drama for a while - at that time, she simply turned around and returned to Shuntian Film Academy to "study with peace of mind".
However, when Li Qian made every effort again, "The Matrix" was her heroine, and then she was lost to Jin Han, and she was the heroine of "Dragon Gate Inn", she was alive again all of a sudden!
Although the movie has not yet been released, it is difficult to say what the box office will be, but at least, the price she shouted out now is the real price, not the "price but no market" in the previous period.
In fact, simply speaking as an actress, Fu Hongxue will definitely not be worse than He Yingyu, and even for a director of Ming Xiaojing's style, even if he chooses a small flower that is not too famous at the moment, it is enough, on the contrary, for the huge financial pressure and shooting pressure brought by the use of He Yingyu's top Hua Dan, Ming Xiaojing is actually very repulsive and resistant.
However, there is no way, the deadlock between Huafei Film and Television and Minghu Culture has not yet been completely broken, and the boss has smashed a large price of 60 million, just one request, invite He Yingyu or Qin Jingjing!
Considering that Qin Jingjing is also the queen of the European Film Festival, if she is invited, she can come up with a gimmick like "the first cooperation between the two major actresses", which is actually quite good, and her price is 10 million, which is high enough, so high that it is scary, but now He Yingyu ...... The price can't be lower!
But how to say it?
For Qin Jingjing, who also won the queen after himself, Ming Xiaojing subconsciously repulsed a little in his heart!
It seems that she has robbed herself of the most intense light!
Although there is already another actress in the country after the Cannes closure!But for the first, the second is always the most hateful, isn't it?
So, let's try to be He Yingyu!
At this time, Ming Xiaojing asked her, "Have you read the book I gave you?"
He Yingyu nodded, "Look, I like it a lot." However, Sister Ming, isn't it too ruthless to spend 60 million yuan on a romance film?
Ming Xiaojing rolled his eyes half-truthfully when he heard this, and looked helpless, "It's not because of you, if the boss doesn't spend a lot of money, I might invite you?"
He Yingyu smiled when she heard this.
From the depths of her eyes, Ming Xiaojing accurately captured a little smugness.
Ming Xiaojing couldn't help but think: She really can't help but be proud!
But think about it again: Yes! Of course she can be proud! She is the little princess of Minghu culture! She is the person who is highly praised by Qian'er! And even by extension, she will be the number one actress in the entire Minghu-Colombia system! Of course, she has the capital to be proud of, and she can be proud!
After taking a sip of coffee from the cup and putting down the cup, He Yingyu hesitated, but said, "The price matters! Sister Ming, you also know, I can't be the master......!"
Ming Xiaojing raised his hand and hurriedly said: "Don't worry, I'm mainly afraid that you don't like this book, so I'll show you first, since you like it, everything is according to Qian'er...... Uh, your company's process goes to go. I'll send the book to your company's brokerage department when I turn around, and send the invitation together. What price should I have, how to negotiate the contract, I will go and negotiate with your company's brokerage department. ”
He Yingyu laughed when she heard this, "Okay, as long as the brokerage department negotiates, I have no problem." ”
Ming Xiaojing also laughed, "With your words, I'm relieved!"
When the words fell, she also picked up the cup and took a sip of coffee, but she couldn't help but think: It's a pity that it's not the past! If it was in the past, who would she find to play a role, even if it was a male or female protagonist, even if it was a big-name actor, she only needed to call Qian'er to solve it!
Even, even Qian'er specially promised to star in her first movie for face.
Unfortunately, it's not the same as it used to be!
Now even if it is himself, even if he is not looking for He Yingyu, just a small role, an ordinary little actor, he must go to the brokerage department of Minghu Culture to slowly negotiate a contract.
Maybe call Qian'er again, he still won't refute his face, he has always been a soft-hearted person, and he is also a person who misses the old, but in that case...... It's too shameless to be yourself!
Two strangers can become good friends, but two friends who have broken up, especially those who have betrayed in some so-called side-picking station, it is impossible to return to the original intimacy in this life.
Of course, no one should complain.
It's just to blame yourself, it's too stupid and upright, and you take the teacher-student relationship with Qin Wei too seriously.
So much so that even Kang Xiaolou followed him into the blacklist of Minghu Culture.
When "Dragon Gate Inn" began to prepare, he received news that Kang Xiaolou even took the initiative to call Jin Han and Han Shunzhang to express his willingness to participate in the audition and want to fight for a suitable role.
The reason is above board: several important roles in that play have already been decided, and the remaining roles are either inappropriate or too small, pure passer-by, I am really embarrassed to let him play in the past - Kang Xiaolou is also a big name among drama and TV drama actors, and a powerful person among movie actors!
Countless thoughts and countless sighs flashed through the center of his mind, put down the coffee cup, Ming Xiaojing was still smiling, and suddenly said: "By the way, I've watched the trailer, and I feel that the film will be more interesting." ”nt
