Chapter 166: Box Office Waterloo? 【296 Commuter Pass Additions】

Timely update, this morning, Lizhi slept soundly, but was woken up by a rapid phone ringing, looking up at the window, the sky was gloomy and dark, as if it was going to rain.

"Who called so early?" Lizhi was sleepy-eyed and struggled to get up, her long waterfall-like hair half-covering her face, a low-cut suspender nightdress, and a strap slid down to her arms, revealing plump and round, snow-skinned shoulders and a large area of snow-white skin on her chest.

Tossed until midnight last night, the hotel room is still a mess, it's rare that the crew has a holiday today, I thought I could make up for sleep, but I woke up the phone.

Li Zhi sat on the quilt, resting her arms on the white velvet quilt, leaning over to pick up the phone placed on the bedside, and Chen Jiashang's polite voice came from the other end of the phone: "Miss Li Zhi, didn't disturb your rest?" ”

Li Zhi couldn't help but cover her mouth and chuckle twice after hearing this, Chen Jiashang would never talk to her so politely before, but since she and Lin Youlun began to really enter the play during the acting process, Chen Jiashang's attitude has changed.

It was rumored that Chen Jiashang suggested to Lin Youlun to delete the intimate scene between the two in the play in order to calm the scandal and cause public anger, and at Lin Youlun's insistence, the passion scene between Lin Sheng and Mrs. Lin after the villa battle was still retained, although the shooting time was only 5 minutes, but Lizhi's performance was particularly amazing. It doesn't need to be too red. Naked, just Li Zhi with hooking eyes and sexy flirting. The human movements are Lin Youlun in the play, and it is easy for people to believe that there is indeed something between them.

Chen Jiashang's change in attitude made Li Zhi enjoy it very much, but she was very sober and knew that all this was not because of her superb acting skills that convinced the director, but because of the man who slept next to her.

Lizzie looked up at the wall clock on the wall. It was already past ten o'clock, and he smiled lightly: "Is there anything wrong with Director Chen?" ”

"That's right, the filming of the crew in Bangkok has all ended, and I want to go back to Hong Kong with the film crew first." On the phone, Chen Jiashang changed her tone of inquiry, "Does Miss Lizhi want to stay here for two more days?" ”

Li Zhi shook his head and smiled bitterly: "Director Chen, how can you discuss such things as itinerary arrangements with me?" I'm on the crew. Of course, follow the crew. ”

Of course, Chen Jiashang would not call Lizhi's room for no reason, he originally wanted to discuss this matter with Lin Youlun, but no one answered the phone in Lin Youlun's room at all. Chen Jia asked in the lobby. It was confirmed that Lin Youlun did not leave the hotel, whose room he spent the night in last night, and the crew knew it. It's just that everyone pretends to be confused and doesn't break it.

The two chatted a few more words on the phone, and Chen Jiashang saw that he couldn't say anything from Lizhi's mouth, so he hung up the phone very reluctantly.

"Chen Jiashang called?" At this time, Lin Youlun was already awake, with his hands behind his head, and he looked sideways at Li Zhi.

Li Zhi got into Lin Youlun's arms and stretched lazily, "He knew that you were here with me, so he called and asked us when we left Bangkok." ”

"Came for a week. It's also time to go back. Lin Youlun reached into Lizhi's nightdress, pinched her huge white breasts, and kept kneading them.

Li Zhi wanted to pull away, but let Lin Youlun stop and hug him. glanced back, and his eyes were like silk. "You always have to torture the dead!"

Lin Youlun lifted Lizhi's nightdress, patted her round and plump buttocks gently, turned over and pressed her under him, and whispered in her ear: "What we didn't finish last night, let's continue to do it......"

——

"Lin Sheng and Mrs. Lin" was filmed in many countries, and Lin Youlun followed the crew for more than a month. When I returned to Hong Kong, Christmas was approaching.

As soon as Lin Youlun came back, Liu Zhenwei ran to say that "Journey to the West" had been filmed.

The filming of this movie is not as smooth sailing as Lin Youlun thought, Liu Zhenwei is a rookie director, and the actors in the film are all stars, these people took over the filming for Lin Youlun's face, in order to let them cooperate with the filming well, Liu Zhenwei spent a lot of brains. …,

Zhou Xingchi first heard that he was going to shoot "Journey to the West", and when he met for the first time, he was very happy to ask Liu Zhenwei if he was playing the Monkey King. Liu Zhenwei said yes, and then told him a story, hearing about this love story, Zhou Xingchi was suddenly a little unhappy, he felt that he was only responsible for being funny now, and talking about love did not meet his positioning and requirements for the role.

Liu Zhenwei said to Zhou Xingchi, you are always funny, you are just a clown in the eyes of the audience, if you want to go one step further, there must be love in your movie, because you have no female audience. Zhou Xingchi felt that Liu Zhenwei had a point, and he was always very cooperative when making this movie.

In order to make this movie well, Liu Zhenwei even shaved his hair and made a cameo appearance as the Bodhi ancestor in the film with a bald head, not because he likes acting, but because he became an actor this time because of an accident.

Bodhi Ancestor in "Journey to the West", Liu Zhenwei originally found a Taiwanese actor, because his neck is particularly long, like an E.T. alien, Liu Zhenwei feels that Bodhi Ancestor should be this kind of image, he likes this actor very much, and he is also very confident in his acting skills, but he didn't expect the problem to lie with Zhou Xingchi. Because this Taiwanese actor can't speak Cantonese well, and Zhou Xingchi doesn't understand his words very well. During the filming, Zhou Xingchi looked at each other's mouths, and he didn't know how to act at all, but neither of them could do it well.

That night, Zhou Xingchi found Liu Zhenwei and said, "Please, let's change someone!" The next day, Liu Zhenwei shaved his head and became the ancestor of Bodhi.

In order to complete the filming of the first and second episodes in more than 100 days, Liu Zhenwei divided the filming work into three groups, Group A was led by Liu Zhenwei to shoot the literary drama, Group B was responsible for the martial arts scenes by Cheng Xiaodong, and Group C was responsible for filming the interior scenes and special effects production.

In view of the relationship between the mainland and Taiwan at this time, this film could not go to Shaanxi to shoot like later generations, in order to make up for this regret, Lin Youlun decided to spend more time on the special effects of the film, he gave Liu Zhenwei 30 million, which was originally the money for two films, but it was added to the cost of computer special effects production, and it cost almost 50 million before and after the filming of the two episodes.

After Cen Jianxun was poached from Debao by Lin Youlun, he took charge of Jiayi Cinema, and the schedule of "Journey to the West" was arranged by him, but he was a little worried about the prospects of this film after its release.

When the film was not released yet, there were some things that Cen Jianxun didn't want to say, but when he met Lin Youlun at the premiere, there happened to be no one else around him, so Cen Jianxun couldn't help but say: "The film is divided into two episodes, and there is so much material that I am worried that it will overwhelm the audience." ”

Although the luxurious all-star lineup has been lined up, and the special effects level of the film has been greatly improved, Lin Youlun still does not dare to guarantee that the box office of "Journey to the West" will definitely recover the cost, and even he is ready to lose money in the film, so the premiere was also very simple, and the reporters present were very disappointed, they thought that there would be many celebrities and big names to come to cheer today, but they didn't expect that even the leading actors of the film did not come.

Lin Youlun and Cen Jianxun were discussing the box office of the film, and the manager of this theater ran over in a panic and whispered a few words in Cen Jianxun's ear.

Cen Jianxun turned his head in surprise and explained to Lin Youlun, "The sixth uncle is here. ”

This news came suddenly, and even Lin Youlun was stunned, although "Journey to the West" was filmed in the name of Jiayi Cinema, it was actually just Lin Youlun's personal contribution, and whether it was a loss or a profit was all Lin Youlun's own business, it stands to reason that Shao Yifu has no need to join in this fun.

This is also what Cen Jianxun couldn't figure out, "Could it be that the sixth uncle came here for other purposes?" ”

Lin Youlun didn't have time to think about it at this time, he didn't know that it was okay for Shao Yifu to come, and he would have to go to the door to greet him, otherwise it would be too rude. …,

"When you see someone, you know the way."

Lin Youlun and Cen Jianxun had just arrived at the door when they saw Shao Yifu walking in with a smile on his face, and hurriedly stepped forward to salute.

"Uncle Sixth didn't say anything in advance when he came, I knew that you were coming, so I should have made this premiere more lively."

Shao Yifu waved his hand, "People don't like to join in the fun when they are old, it's better not to be noisy or noisy." ”

Cen Jianxun personally went to implement the matter of the box, Lin Youlun accompanied Shao Yifu to walk upstairs slowly, the two had something to say, and the others followed from a distance.

"Looking at today's situation, Lin Sheng seems to be a little less confident in this movie." Shao Yifu has a very old and spicy eye, and he immediately saw the crux of the problem.

Lin Youlun smiled bitterly in his heart, until now he still thinks that "Journey to the West" will become a classic, but this movie appeared too early, and the audience may not be able to accept it.

"Just like the novel that Lin Sheng published before?" There was a touch of melancholy in Shao Yifu's eyes, the success or failure of "Journey to the West" had no direct interest in him, but the director of this film, Liu Zhenwei, is also the director of "Shaolin Football".

Shao Yifu had never doubted Lin Youlun's vision of seeing people before, although Liu Zhenwei had never made a movie before, but Lin Youlun recommended people, and Shao Yifu agreed without hesitation. Later, Lin Youlun discussed with Shao Yifu, saying that he would delay "Shaolin Football" first, borrow Liu Zhenwei for three months, and shoot "Journey to the West" first, and Shao Yifu also did not object.

It's just that believing in Lin Youlun is not the same thing as believing in Liu Zhenwei, Shao Yifu came today to see what level Liu Zhenwei's movie is, and when he saw the premiere so deserted at the scene, and then heard Lin Youlun say this, his heart was already cold.

Even Lin Youlun is not optimistic about this film, and it is debatable whether Liu Zhenwei can be qualified as the director of "Shaolin Football".
