Chapter 66: Fierce Material
Wang Jiawei has made a lot of names in Europe in recent years, and it is said that "Chongqing Forest" made Quentin cry, and the latter said, "This movie actually made my brother cry, not because of how sad this film is, my brother has always been a man who sees tragedy as a joke." The reason why I cried was precisely because of how this movie was so good, how could there be such a good movie in this world. ’
It's really Quentin who said it...
The most important thing, of course, is that "In the Mood for Love" sold 10 million dollars at the box office in France...
The box office of a literary film boss is so high...
A bunch of publishing companies in France are waiting for "2046"!
This old brother is really awesome, "2046" was established in 99, and it will be 2003 soon, and the filming has not been finished yet...
……
The Bund, Dongfeng Hotel, the filming location of the movie "2046", the crew is also stationed here...
Wang Jiawei strictly forbade reporters to appear during the filming of his movie, and before he was in Hong Kong, he sent a Hong Kong media "paparazzi" to prison, because the paparazzi bribed the security guards to enter the set of the movie "2046" to shoot secretly...
After the staff saw Chen Dong, they walked in with him.
In the elevator, Chen Dong couldn't help but ask the old man curiously: "Do you know what movie "2046" is?"
"I don't know..."
Zhong Lifang smiled very flatteringly: "Just reveal a few words!"
"I really don't know, it's probably a science fiction movie!"
Wang Jiawei, science fiction film?
Is it possible?
Zhong Lifang and Chen Dong glanced at each other, and the two of them shut up...
Even the staff doesn't know what Lao Wang is shooting, is this a master?
It is said that the reason why Wang Jiawei can become the king of sunglasses is mainly due to the editing of his mentor Tan Jiaming!
Compare "The True Story of A Fei" and his directorial debut "Mong Kok Carmen", the gap is obvious!
"The True Story of A Fei" is the product of Tan Jiaming's editing!
Who is Tam Ka-ming, the leader of the new wave of Hong Kong cinema!
It was also his golden scissors that directly made Wang Jiawei, who was wandering between the mean and the avant-garde, become the king of sunglasses who was later named a myth.
No matter what, since he is here, Chen Dong definitely wants to win the role!
He struggled with not knowing what to do next...
Then he was told that Wang Jiawei was still sleeping, and asked Chen Dong to wait for a while...
Go to bed?
Ten o'clock in the morning?
……
"I Love You" has been released for half a month, with a cumulative box office of 8.8 million, and according to the data forecast given by the theater, the final box office is likely to break 10 million!
This data is ok!
According to the investment of the West Film Studio, the production cost of "I Love You" is close to 4 million, the domestic performance is more than 10 million, and the return of 3 million can be made.
In addition, Zhang Yuan also accepted the invitation of the Toronto Film Festival and the Tokyo Film Festival, and may be able to sell some foreign exchange...
It's just that in terms of word-of-mouth, completely lost!
Yanyiyun invested in Zhang Yuan, hoping that he could reconnect the glory of the fifth generation!
It's a pity that "I Love You" is even a cut short of the threshold of Cannes - it didn't make it to Cannes, and it didn't make it to Venice...
Unexpectedly, Chen Dong actually appeared on the cover of the two major film publications "Watching Movies" and "Movie World" because of this movie!
I don't know how well he acted, but Yan Yiyun knows some information - Chen Yun spent nearly 200,000 yuan in public relations fees...
According to her train of thought, regardless of whether there are works or not, let's make Chen Dong's name first!
It has really attracted a lot of media attention, the first of which is "Star Weekly"...
"Star Weekly", don't look at the random name, it is a regular entertainment weekly affiliated with the 21st Century newspaper system!
and "21st Century Global Report" with the same issue number - the issue number is very important, you can't run a publication without connections and skills, Han Shao's "Solo Singer" was discontinued after only one issue...
By the way, "Star Weekly" was later investigated and suspended because "21st Century Global Report" banned things that should not be published, so even "Star Weekly" with the same issue number was unlucky...
Of course, it is still a large gossip magazine with a circulation of nearly one million!
They also noticed Chen Dong!
The awesome thing about "Star Weekly" is that people's entertainment records don't make an appointment with you for an interview at all, and directly come to the door to ask for a chance encounter...
Later, it was revealed that the real estate where some celebrities in Beijing lived, and the "Star BIGSTAR", which published the detailed home addresses of the stars, was actually launched by the "Star Weekly" team after moving to Beijing, with the financial support of Guangguang, bought the issue number of "China Radio and Television News"...
Do you think, people even dare to break the news about the home address of celebrities, what do people dare not do?
Then they blocked Chen Dong at a café in Shanghai...
Chen Dong was bored watching "Like a Teenager Flying Away", and then he was surrounded by two reporters...
"Chen Dong, we are reporters from Star Weekly, can I ask you a few questions?"
“… I don't know you, and if you want to interview me, please make an appointment first..."
"Let's just ask a few questions, and we'll leave!"
Zhong Lifang was not there, I saw Wang Jiawei that day, the latter was very satisfied with Chen Dong, after signing the actor contract, after negotiating the remuneration, she left, as if she went to Hengdian, Huang Yi auditioned for the second part of "Li Wei as an Official", she had to help control the overall situation...
Chen Dong looked at the two reporters in front of him, hesitated for a few moments, and nodded: "Say it!"
"Did you come to Shanghai because of "2046"?"
“… How do you know?"
Chen Dong's eyes widened in surprise, these reporters are too powerful!
He went to Dongfeng Hotel that day, and the security of the hotel was very tight, and he didn't expect that the entertainment reporters would know about "2046"...
Noticing his expression, Yu Ji, who was wearing glasses, hurriedly asked: "Is that true? Is that because Takuya Kimura was dissatisfied with Director Wang, and then he unilaterally left the crew?"
Chen Dong explained: "... I really don't know about this, I don't even know what the audition role is!"
"So what exactly is "2046"?"
“… I've been in the group for a week, I haven't filmed a scene, I haven't read the script, you ask me? I'm bored every day, no, come to drink coffee, I'm blocked by you!"
"So, you're not satisfied with Wang Jiawei?"
Chen Dong's expression was serious: "How is it possible? That's Wang Jiawei, I warn you, don't write nonsense, otherwise I'll sue you!"
"Then how did you get the invitation to audition for 2046?"
"I'm also a little confused, I was filming "Dream in the Garden" before, and then director Yang Fan told me to let me come to Shanghai to find director Wang Jiawei, and then I was selected..."
"Can you tell us which actors you saw on the set?"
“… Didn't I say it, I didn't shoot a single scene, how do I know who the actors are!"
Chen Dong was a little impatient, and the two reporters also knew how to accept it when they saw it.
"Thank you for your willingness to cooperate with us, this is a little careful!"
A bulging red envelope was handed over...
This one, Chen Dong was completely confused...
What do you mean, Lao Tzu was prostituted?
