Chapter 548: Race to the First
After Lin Youlun finished eating, Zhong Chuhong and Zhang Manyu met reporters when they came out of the restaurant, and the photo of the three of them waiting for the car to leave appeared in the newspaper the next day without accident.
As soon as Zhang Manyu came to the set the next day, Mei Yanfang leaned over.
"Ah Yu, did you see Mr. Lin yesterday?"
"Honggu asked me to go out to dinner, but I didn't expect Mr. Lin to be there, and then made a light bulb for more than two hours." Zhang Manyu shrugged, she couldn't guess Mei Yanfang's intentions, and of course she wouldn't tell the truth.
"What was Mr. Lin's attitude when he spoke to you? Did you ever murder you? Mei Yanfang then asked again.
"No, he joked with me a few times during dinner." Zhang Manyu didn't hide it this time, because she probably guessed what Mei Yanfang wanted to ask from her.
"Sister Mei, phone!"
Mei Yanfang's assistant came over with a big brother, Mei Yanfang said sorry to Zhang Manyu, and then turned around and walked to a corner where no one was there to answer the phone.
"Anita, it's me." A magnetic male voice came from the phone, and Mei Yanfang immediately heard that it was Zhang Yanrong's voice.
"Why did you remember to call me early in the morning?"
"You haven't gotten up yet, have you?" Zhang Yurong said very funny on the other end of the phone.
"Do you think that like you, regardless of it, quit the music scene when you say you quit the music scene, and then you can stay at home all day?" Mei Yanfang said angrily.
Zhang Yanrong heard the resentment in Mei Yanfang's words, and quickly changed the topic and said, "Have you read the newspaper this morning?" ”
Mei Yanfang frowned slightly, "Is there something wrong?" ”
Zhang Yanrong held the microphone in one hand. In the other hand was a newspaper: "Mr. Lin returned to Hong Kong yesterday. Also went out to eat with friends. Then it was photographed by a reporter. ”
"I saw the news, and then what?" Mei Yanfang asked.
"Didn't you say last time that you wanted me to help you out to dinner with Mr. Yolin? It just so happens that I have time recently, and if you don't have the itinerary for filming and concerts outside, I will call Mr. Lin to make an appointment. ”
"Don't!" Mei Yanfang hurriedly stopped Zhang Yanrong, "I thought about it seriously, but I still don't need it." ”
"Aren't you worried that Mr. Lin has misunderstood? I think you'd better explain it to him in person, or it would be bad if it really caused a misunderstanding. Zhang Yanrong was dedicated to Mei Yanfang's consideration.
Mei Yanfang hesitated slightly, but thought of the news she heard from Zhang Manyu's mouth. In the end, she rejected Zhang Yurong's kindness.
"It's because I'm thinking about the problem, it's just a movie, and it may not be worth mentioning at all in Mr. Lin's eyes."
"It's up to you, but if you change your mind, you can call me at any time."
After chatting with Mei Yanfang for a few more words, Zhang Yurong hung up the phone.
Mei Yanfang handed over the eldest brother to the assistant, and when she walked into the dressing room, she happened to meet Yang Ziqiong.
"Miss Mei, I was on the phone early in the morning, and my boyfriend called?"
Mei Yanfang smiled faintly at Yang Ziqiong. "No, a friend."
Mei Yanfang didn't say who the other party was. Of course, Yang Ziqiong will not go to the bottom of the matter, the two nodded and said hello, and then they each sat down in front of the makeup mirror, and hurried to let the makeup artist put on makeup.
Xu Ke is very strict with actors, and if he doesn't set a time for actors, he will definitely be scolded by him.
There was no in-depth discussion when they met, but when they were putting on makeup, Mei Yanfang looked at Yang Ziqiong twice.
has been a young grandmother in the Pan family for a few years, but Yang Ziqiong's skills have not fallen, in this play, she has the most scenes, many actions Mei Yanfang and Zhang Manyu have to use stand-ins to complete, Yang Ziqiong is in person, especially the day before yesterday There was a thrilling action of volleying in the air, there was no need for Yang Ziqiong to go into battle in person, but she insisted on completing this action by herself, and she filmed twice in a row because she didn't control the action, and her body hit the other wall at the back, even Xu Ke couldn't bear it, and persuaded Yang Ziqiong to use a stuntman, But Yang Ziqiong insisted on "doing it again", but she didn't expect that this action would be completed by her again.
Mei Yanfang was a little respectful of Yang Ziqiong at first, the two were tacit partners in the play, but there was very little communication outside the play, but Yang Ziqiong's momentum when filming made Mei Yanfang have a lot of good feelings for her.
The makeup artist helped the two of them finish applying makeup, and there were still about ten minutes before the start of filming in today's scene, so Mei Yanfang took the initiative to chat with Yang Ziqiong.
"I have always wondered, why did Miss Yang choose this drama to make a comeback?"
Yang Ziqiong turned her head to look at Mei Yanfang, and said word by word: "Miss Mei actually wants to ask, if I take over the filming of this drama, won't I offend someone?" ”
Mei Yanfang smiled and did not deny it.
Yang Ziqiong shrugged, "Actually, I'm also worried about this problem, but I don't have a choice, so I can only gamble." ”
These words made Mei Yanfang feel the same way.
Yang Ziqiong is gambling, betting that Lin Youlun will not hold on to the previous things, Mei Yanfang is actually also gambling, betting that Lin Youlun will not take "Three Heroes of the East" too seriously, so naturally she will not care about her appearance in this movie.
Some of the information I learned from Zhang Manyu just now made Mei Yanfang sure that she had made the right bet this time.
——
The same newspaper, Mei Yanfang was relieved after reading it, but Lin Jianyue had a different idea in his heart.
"This Zhang Manyu won't be a spy planted by Lin Youlun in the crew, right?"
Huang Baiming, who was sitting across the desk, was slightly stunned, and then shook his head.
Xu Ke didn't make much changes to the storyline provided by To Qifeng, and the movie "Three Heroes of the East" actually doesn't have too many secrets in front of Lin Youlun, and there is no need to find someone to find out the plot at all.
Even if he takes a step back, Lin Youlun really planted eyeliner in the crew of "Three Heroes of the East", it can't be Zhang Manyu - how can he find someone to be an undercover agent, and swagger to ask the other party out for dinner, so it is directly exposed, what is the bottom of the undercover?
Huang Baiming said this, and Lin Jianyue also felt that he was thinking too much.
"Is there any news from the people who were inserted into the crew of "Breaking Bad"?"
"The filming progress of that movie is similar to that of "Three Heroes of the East", the three actresses seem to have received a period of kung fu training before, and it is said that they played well during filming, but they never saw a decent male lead...... According to the news that came back, I analyzed that this time the other party was not playing tricks, but that there was really no actor in this movie. Huang Baiming replied.
The actor of "Breaking Baby" is not only curious about the media, but Lin Jianyue, as a competitor, is also very curious to know about Lu Dao, and he has always been worried that Lin Youlun will play tricks on this.
"You let that side continue to keep an eye on it, Lin Youlun was not in Hong Kong some time ago, maybe he will have a new move recently."
Although he felt that this was a bit of an overkill, Huang Baiming still nodded and agreed.
Lin Jianyue then talked about the release schedule of "Three Heroes of the East".
"Do you think "Three Heroes of the East" should be released before or after "Breaking Bad"?"
The media really hopes that "Three Heroes of the East" and "Thunderbolt Baby" will be released at the same time, and then the two movies will have a big battle at the box office, so that it will be lively enough, but after Lin Jianyue has experienced so many things, he has a very clear understanding of the gap between himself and Lin Youlun, and knows that the box office is the king, so the mind of fighting to win is also much lighter, and now he is thinking more about how to maximize the box office revenue of "Three Heroes of the East".
And Lin Jianyue knows very well that even if "Three Heroes of the East" is not released on the same schedule as "Breaking Baby", the media will compare the two movies together, and it is not a wise choice to put the two movies in the same period and pull each other back.
In this regard, Lin Jianyue very much agrees with the stipulation made by Lin Youlun in Jiayi Cinema - works with highly similar genres and themes will not be released on the same schedule.
The existence of this rule is to prevent two films of the same genre from being released at the same time, and to ensure that each film can achieve the goal of maximizing the box office.
According to the current filming schedule, "Three Heroes of the East" and "Breaking Baby" are likely to be filmed at the same time, but which of these two movies will be released first is a headache.
The advantage of releasing first is that it can attract a large part of the audience with "fresh pictures", after all, there are not many action movies with women as the protagonists in Hong Kong, and with the fame of Mei Yanfang, Yang Ziqiong, and Zhang Manyu, the box office should not be too bad; And the first release also has a bad place, the action movie of the female protagonist is still in the stage of exploration at this time, the first movie opens up the market, and the later movie sits on the box office without much effort.
The first release is worried about being enjoyed by the opponent, and the second release is afraid that the opponent will seize the opportunity, which is why Lin Jianyue is vacillating and unable to make a decision.
This matter should not have been made to Huang Baiming for an idea, and it was more appropriate to ask the film director Xu Kecai, but Lin Jianyue is a little uneasy about Xu Ke now, and always feels that Xu Ke has a feeling of "being in Cao Ying's heart in Han", or Huang Baiming is more reliable.
Huang Baiming weighed it left and right, and suggested: "I think it would be better to release it first." ”
Lin Jianyue did not agree immediately, but asked Huang Baiming to explain the reason.
"Xu Ke is now the flag-bearer of Hong Kong's new martial arts action films, and the cast of "Three Heroes of the East" is not comparable to the three little girls of "Thunderbolt Baby", if "Three Heroes of the East" is released after "Thunderbolt Baby", it will lose the other party in terms of momentum alone...... Of course, I don't think it's the most important thing to release first and then release, what matters is the box office result after the release, so whether Jiayi Cinema Line can be a bowl of water in arranging the release schedule and scale of these two movies is the most critical. ”
