Chapter 1062: Mingjing

Before Yang Ming made a new kung fu movie, Zhou Qiangsheng's martial arts in the film circle was very popular.

Even if it is Bai Chongshi, sometimes he has to look at this famous action director differently, after all, the box office results of the kung fu films made by the other party are very good.

But Yang Ming's birth has affected too many people, and Zhou Qiangsheng is also among them, and now fans and audiences like to watch new kung fu movies with gorgeous action and exciting excitement, who wants to watch any old-fashioned and slow action movies.

There is no doubt that Zhou Qiangsheng was eliminated.

Although he also learned from Oriental DreamWorks to make a new kung fu movie, the effect was far behind, especially in terms of word-of-mouth, and he almost didn't smash his previous signboard for more than ten years.

Action, kung fu, and martial arts, these three types of movies, are originally one of the most common movies in the film market.

For a director who is famous for action, if no one watches the action movies he makes, then his career as a director can be said to have come to an end.

In fact, for the circle of action directors, because Oriental DreamWorks did not deliberately block the skills of shooting new kung fu movies, and many people were allowed to go to the filming site of Oriental DreamWorks kung fu films to observe in person, this aspect is already close to piercing a layer of paper.

After watching the filming process of the Oriental DreamWorks kung fu film, it dawned on me.

And the old man Hongsu sent people over to study, and it was the same reason.

It's just that the relationship between Yang Ming and Zhou Qiangsheng is understood by everyone, not to mention that Oriental DreamWorks didn't let him come to the filming scene, even he didn't have the face to make this request.

At the beginning, he made many remarks in the media that slandered Yang Ming's new martial arts.

Now that Zhou Qiangsheng's influence has dropped greatly, Bai Chongshi naturally can't look down on him, he saw the other party's hated polite eyes, and smiled coldly in his heart, but he didn't say anything on the surface, and still greeted politely, as if the two were very familiar friends.

No matter what, this Zhou Qiangsheng still has a lot of influence in the circle of kung fu directors, maybe it will be useful in the future, Bai Chongshi secretly thought in his heart.

Time flew by, and soon it was seven o'clock.

The opera hall of the National Center for the Performing Arts is already full of people.

In addition to the guests who came to attend, Xiao Bufan's fans have also arrived, but they all came in from other doors and then entered in a unified manner.

Xiao Bufan didn't greet the guests outside the door, and naturally he wouldn't welcome these fans, and even he was afraid that these public fans would make some trouble, so he was very strict with the admission of fans, basically arranging for the staff to let these fans enter.

"Thank you guests, thank you leaders, thank you to everyone who supported me!"

Xiao Bufan was wearing a white suit, standing on the stage with a microphone, and said loudly, and there was deafening applause from the audience, not to mention, if you look at it alone, he is really a beautiful man, handsome and chic, personable, and his title of popular king in the entertainment industry, it is also a perfect match.

In fact, for the family, those who are ugly in appearance are really very rare, after all, the marriage partners selected by the children of the family will definitely not be bad in appearance, to paraphrase a common saying, plant well!

"The Legend of the Snow Fox" is a work that I have worked hard to prepare for a long time, and I believe that this movie will not disappoint everyone, whether it is the polishing of the script or the production of special effects, we have spent a lot of effort on it, because in my eyes, there is always a principle that is to abide by it, that is, either don't do it, or do it is the best!"

The opera house burst into deafening applause again.

Seeing Xiao Bufan on the stage with extraordinary momentum and holding the microphone, Bai Chongshi's face showed a trace of disdain, and he found that Xiao Bufan had a shortcoming, that is, he was so happy!

Especially Bai Chongshi found that the director and actress standing behind Xiao Bufan had an unusually vague look on their faces, and he knew in his heart that the protagonist who gave a speech on stage at the premiere of a movie was not the director, but the male lead actor, although with Xiao Bufan's status, it didn't matter much, but in the eyes of his peers, it was definitely a very taboo thing.

And the director and heroine of today's movie are not unknown.

Mingjing, the director of the local Mesozoic Era who has the most aura and is best at filming costume dramas.

Huang Xiaofeng, a goddess with both beauty and acting skills, is not much worse than Bai Chongshi's popularity.

Even if this movie was invested and filmed by the Xiao family, even if most of the guests at today's premiere were invited by Xiao Bufan, Xiao Bufan's aura of such a protagonist still made the two big names feel very uncomfortable.

When have they ever been so despised?

Of course, Xiao Bufan didn't notice this at all, although he is now in the entertainment industry, but with countless wealth, he will never pay attention to the big-name stars in the entertainment industry, in fact, this is also a common problem of powerful families.

Bai Chongshi looked at all this coldly, there was nothing unusual on his face, but he sighed faintly in his heart, no matter what, in case the negotiations with Oriental DreamWorks broke down and the plan to start anew would definitely require a lot of capital support, at this time, even if he was dissatisfied with Xiao Bufan, he had to endure it, and even sometimes wiped his ass for this popular king.

Sure enough, as he expected, when Xiao Bufan put down the microphone in the applause, Mingjing and Huang Xiaofeng in the back talked all over the place, and those who didn't know thought that the two of them really didn't want to delay everyone's time to watch the movie, but Bai Chongshi knew that these two were unhappy.

Otherwise, with such a rare opportunity today, there are several media present, so why do you have to say a few words.

Not everyone has Yang Ming's quirks that don't like to be exposed.

It seems that after the movie is over, I want to find an opportunity to have a good exchange with Mingjing and Huang Xiaofeng, so as not to make these two resentful, Bai Chongshi thought with a slight squint.

While he was pondering, the lights dimmed and the premiere began.

At a seat in the opera house, the old man Meng Su, who had been waiting a little impatiently, saw the lights dimmed, muttered 'It's finally begun', and then put on reading glasses, ready to wait for the movie to start.

He was also invited to attend the premiere of "The Legend of the Snow Fox in Liaozhai" today.

I have also heard about the propaganda war between "Liao Zhai" and "Three Kingdoms" during this time, but he didn't take it to heart, he only watched movies and didn't care about anything else.

As the most respected senior in the film critic circle now, Xiao Bufan will naturally send an invitation letter to this old man, even if he knows that this old man has always been known for being ruthless and fair and mean, he still sent an invitation letter to Old Man Meng Su, he believes that this movie will definitely not be bad.

"The Legend of the Snow Fox in Liaozhai", you can guess what kind of story this movie wants to tell from the title.

In other words, "Liao Zhai", like "Three Kingdoms", is a well-known folk allusion in Chinese culture, and has a wide audience.

Before this, the old man Meng Su had been speculating in his heart whether this movie would be the same as the original book of "Liao Zhai", telling the story of the fox fairy repaying his kindness?

It's a pity that less than 5 minutes after the movie was screened, the old man found that his previous guesses seemed to be all wrong.

What's going on?

The demon world, the demon clan, the fairy world, the movie was an earth-shattering battle at the beginning, and seeing the dazzling special effects shots on the screen, the old man's beard couldn't help but tremble.

And he has been holding the pen in his hand, and unconsciously drew a bar on the book, the Great War of the Three Realms, the black demonic demon clan, the demon clan with infinite power, the immortal clan who soars through the clouds, the old man's brain is a little insufficient, as if he knows Liaozhai, there is no such statement, right?

If it was a netizen in a previous life who saw this scene, he absolutely disdainfully said: "Isn't it the background of combining fantasy and Chinese mythology? ”

But for the old man, it is obvious that his thinking cannot be as open as that of a young man, which is completely contrary to the original work of "Liao Zhai".

"The majestic beginning, I don't know the so-called background!"

The old man looked at the screen, and the pen in his hand wrote in the notebook that his ability to write with his eyes closed had already been perfected.

On the other hand, Xiao Bufan saw the shocking special effects scenes on the screen, and a satisfied smile appeared on his face, although there are not many epic pictures like this, but for the vast majority of local movies, it is enough to kill many movies in seconds.

He believes that with several such wonderful special effects in this movie, there is no hope of beating "Red Cliff of the Three Kingdoms".

After all, the other party is a historical blockbuster, even if there are special effects, it is impossible to exaggerate and outrage.

Time passed minute by minute, and the plot of the fans slowly unfolded.

But the reaction of the audience in the opera house was different, some applauded, some frowned, some were indifferent, some screamed, some were nauseated, and some applauded.

Old Man Meng Su's brows were also very wrinkled, and the pen in his hand kept on the notebook, writing something from time to time.

When the lights in the opera house came back after 100 minutes, everyone looked at the screen with complicated eyes.

The whole hall seemed to be like a computer screen, for seven or eight seconds, and then the audience burst into applause again, but compared to the opening applause, it was not so loud.

It's just that maybe because of the end, no one noticed this.

Xiao Bufan didn't notice that he was shaking hands and hugging some guests around him, preparing to see them off.

After the end of the movie screening, Xiao Bufan and they didn't do any more programs, and after sending off all the guests, Xiao Bufan, He Xinghan, and Bai Chongshi did not leave immediately, but came to the bar hall of a private club with the National Center for the Performing Arts, while relaxing, while waiting for the box office statistics of the people below.

Old Man Meng was also sent home with the support of his assistant, and then he took out a blank piece of paper and began to write a movie review with a pen.

Compared with other film critics, who basically use computers to type, the old man still insists on writing film reviews with a pen, not that he doesn't know how to use a computer, but he thinks that only words written with a pen are the most emotional words, and they are also the words that can best express his true feelings.

Mingjing and Huang Xiaofeng did not go home separately, but invited a few people from the crew to a hotel and booked a private room, and everyone chatted while eating, and they were also very concerned about tonight's box office results.

During the meal, Huang Xiaofeng saw that Mingjing had been drinking sullen wine and rarely spoke, her beautiful eyes showed a smile, and she asked him in a low voice, "What's wrong?"

"Do you think I should be happy?" Mingjing said, rolling her eyelids.

He and Huang Xiaofeng are old partners, in his costume movies, Huang Xiaofeng is basically his queen heroine, who is called Huang Xiaofeng's costume appearance is too amazing in the entire entertainment industry!

In addition, although Huang Xiaofeng was not popular with Mingjing at the beginning, the most glorious moment of Huang Xiaofeng's personal career was achieved with the help of Mingjing.

Therefore, as old partners, the two of them are very familiar with each other, and there is nothing that cannot be said.

"Lao Ming!" Huang Xiaofeng couldn't help but sigh when he saw Mingjing's appearance, changed his title, and whispered: "Have you ever thought about changing the environment to see, after all, with your level, which film company doesn't treat you as an uncle, instead of you now treating others as an uncle." ”

"You're lightweight, I have a contract with me now. Mingjing spat out a sip of wine and said depressedly.

Although he and Huang Xiaofeng are old partners, the two are not in the same film company and agency, Huang Xiaofeng is a signed artist belonging to Shengli Pictures, but she is ready to wait for her contract to expire next year, and will not renew the contract, and build a studio of her own like the more popular way in the entertainment industry now.

And Mingjing's film company is actually Xiao Bufan's own company: Xiao's Film Company.

Xiao's Film Company is not a big company in the entertainment industry, originally this company was established by Xiao Bufan for himself, a company specially used to serve himself, he never thought about how much money he wanted to make with this film company, if it was for the purpose of making money, then he would not open a film company.

Besides, when did the Xiao family lack money.

At the beginning, Mingjing didn't know what was going on, and as soon as her brain twitched, she signed a contract with Xiao's Film Company, and the contract still had three years to expire.

If he wants to break the contract, it is estimated that he will have to pay at least 20 million in the contract breaking fee.

This money may be able to be taken out by gritting his teeth for Huang Xiaofeng, but he can't get it out as a director, no matter how much he gritted his teeth.

After all, actors earn more than directors.

Besides, over the years, although Mingjing has a high status in the film industry, he has not made many movies, so his economic situation is not to mention that compared with Huang Xiaofeng, even compared with other directors of similar status, people are more beautiful than him.

"If you really want to jump out, I'll help you pay this money, and when the time comes, you can send it, and then you can pay me back. Huang Xiaofeng's eyes showed a moving color and said.

Mingjing was stunned when he heard this, stared at Huang Xiaofeng seriously, and then his eyes quickly looked away, and he stammered a little and said, "No need, I'll think of a way." ”

When Huang Xiaofeng heard this answer, a disappointed look flashed across his face, and he said, "Can you continue to endure this kind of thing that disregards your identity as a director, changes the script at every turn, and changes the plot and lines beyond recognition?"

Hearing this, Mingjing couldn't help but fall into deep thought.
