Chapter 609: Fighting on the Same Stage [One Update]
Chapter 609 Fighting on the Same Stage [One Update]
Standing on the empty stage, Yang Lin had a long-lost passion, he enjoyed the feeling on the stage very much, and was very comfortable and comfortable. Singing is a little different from filming.
The song "Old Boy" has long been played on a loop around the country with Yang Lin's album, so someone heard it shortly after the prelude sounded, and Yang Lin was sitting on a chair with a guitar.
A beam of light, a person, a guitar, a casual outfit, a good song. This is the scene that unfolds in front of everyone, quiet as an oil painting, bright and a little low-key.
Xu Zheng was next to Tao Hong, his palms were slightly sweaty, this was his first mainstream movie, and it was his first film to get the attention of fans and media across the country.
Seeing Yang Lin swaying freely on the stage, he reluctantly smiled and said to his wife Tao Hong: "I am a foil for him at this level, but fortunately, I said not to perform in public before, I finally don't have to be ashamed." ”
Tao Hongmiao glanced at him, and said with some anger: "Look at your talent, perform on stage, and take up more space, you can be regarded as a real starring actor." ”
Yang Lin's slightly hoarse voice matched the song very well, and he sat there quietly, with his hands on the guitar, playing a unique "Old Boy".
At the end of the song, he stood up and put the guitar away, waved at the cheering audience, and said with a smile: "I'm very happy to see you all today, I'm very excited, I almost broke the success just now!" ”
Just as he was talking, Jingwei walked over a little delicately. The demeanor is graceful, the bright red dress sets off her complexion like snow, and a smiling face is smiling.
"Yang Lin, please stay, as the screenwriter, producer, starring, and assistant director of this movie, don't you have anything to say to the media friends and audience friends at this moment?"
Because this movie is highly anticipated. At the same time, there are no other movies, and Yang Lin has always had a friendly relationship with CCTV-Movie Channel, so the national premiere was broadcast live during the prime time of the evening, which means that many people can watch this premiere at home.
The opening of the premiere was ingenious, there were no beauties and no magnificent performances. Some are just Yang Lin's extremely simple performances. This highlights one of the themes of the movie, there is no prosperity and no liveliness, and there are just memories of youth.
At Jingwei's request, Yang Lin did not step off the stage, but stood aside, with a serious expression on his face, and said solemnly: "Strictly speaking." I'm not a good screenwriter or producer, and all of them are helping me. I can only admit that I am a qualified actor, and my performance in the movie will not disappoint everyone! ”
"Since Yang Lin is so confident, then we will wait and see. Everyone must hate our premiere now, right? I also want to see the movie sooner. But there are so many procedures stipulated, let's go through it as soon as possible, and then come and enjoy Yang Lin's wonderful performance in the film. Let's ask Teacher Xu Zheng and Teacher Sun Honglei, who also have wonderful performances in the movie, and the school flower Jingtian in the movie to come to the stage! ”
After stepping off the stage, Yang Lin looked at Li Junxiao, who was constantly twisting his body, and asked suspiciously, "What's wrong with you today?" What's weird? ”
Zhang Qian looked at Li Junxiao's blue face. said with a smile: "He was so nervous, he just got the news that the premiere of the assembly number has been advanced to today." Fight with us. Haven't you noticed that we don't have a lot of reporters on our side? ”
When Yang Lin heard this for the first time, he couldn't help but turn his head to look at the seat behind him, but the continuous flashing lights made his eyes dazzled, he blocked his eyes with his hands, squinted his eyes, and looked at the media seat. But to his surprise, it was still full.
"No, it won't. I see that the back is already full, and there are no empty seats at all, even if they premiere with us, it doesn't necessarily mean that we will suffer! The key point is who will be on the news page tomorrow, or both? Yang Lin thought about the crux of the problem.
Indeed, what media outlet can't send a few reporters right now? The key point is whether they can be published on the front page after the interviews of these reporters. Without Feng Xiaogang's "Assembly Number" before, "Old Boy" will undoubtedly become the headline of major print media tomorrow, and it will be able to become the focus of online media tonight.
But with Feng Xiaogang, a troublemaker, joining, everything is an uncertain factor. Feng Xiaogang and the Huayi brothers behind him didn't know what they were paying attention to, so they chose to release it in advance, which is not a good thing for their publicity.
Feng Xiaogang is the first person in the mainland to celebrate the New Year, and he is also one of the three most famous directors in the mainland.
There is no doubt that China is a place that pays attention to human feelings and sophistication, Feng Xiaogang has a wide range of connections, and this "Assembly" is a typical main theme movie, to a large extent, there is an official escort, not only that, their distributor and producer is Huayi Brothers, the aircraft carrier of Huayu, and there are wealthy companies, and it is impossible for "Assembly" to suffer.
Li Junxiao nodded, as the director of the movie, he must calm down, not to mess with the morale of the army, he cleared his throat and said with a smile: "I have confidence in our movie, if this movie can't be popular, what is the reason?" A few days ago, I watched the publicity to see the appeal of the actors themselves, and in the next few days, it will all depend on the quality of the work and the rest. What we are not afraid of is quality, and the fact that the Radio ~ Censorship Bureau has not cut it is the best proof! ”
When a few of them were whispering, Feng Xiaogang's side was not very calm, and he dug out Yang Lin with one hand. Although Yang Lin filmed "The Legend of Sword and Fairy" before, the release of "No Thieves in the World" is his real stage. He had a good personal relationship with Yang Lin, but he didn't expect the two to start fighting each other in the Lunar New Year.
"Director Feng, this is how this matter is done. In fact, we decided a long time ago that we wanted to go head-to-head with "Old Boy", after all, they have been in the spotlight since the beginning of filming. And we're much more low-key. This "Assembly" is a military theme, and if you don't use any means, then it is possible to lose money. Wang Zhonglei, president of Huayi, explained to Feng Xiaogang softly.
Now if you want to be on the page, in addition to human feelings, topicality is a must. The two movies fight at the same time, and the themes are different. The point is that the two filmmakers are more connected, and it is easy to compare. In the fight, Huayi can also use public relations to create a vulnerable image of a tragic hero, which has a lot of benefits anyway.
Feng Xiaogang was a little undecided, but since the matter had happened. There is nothing that can be changed, now it is just a means of commercial competition, he comforted himself.
A few families are happy and a few are worried, "Old Boy" PK "Assembly Number", who wins and who loses, it is a place that can be reported, and there are countless places that can be used as topics. One or two a day, and you don't have to worry about the news in the second half of the month. The media were overjoyed, and the more hype they had, the more money they made and the greater the circulation. They wish that the creators of the two movies would spark.
The premiere went smoothly, not only a few actors, but even the two senior graduates who assisted Yang Lin in writing the screenplay also successfully stood on the stage.
At the end of the premiere, as usual, the box office estimate was made, which is also one of the highlights. Let's see if a crew has confidence or is talking wildly.
"Director Li, do you think the box office of "Old Boy" can become a dark horse in this year's Chinese New Year? How much box office is reasonable? Huang Zijiao asked with some curiosity. This issue is not only a concern for him, but also for many media reporters.
Li Junxiao glanced at the audience and said with a smile: "The minimum requirement for this movie should be 200 million, and my ideal box office is 400 million!" “
His words were loud and clear. made several people stunned for a moment, in this era, movies that can break 100 million are rare, listening to his tone, it seems that 200 million is just the lowest standard, I don't know if it's true.
Yang Lin smiled. He is also very confident in this movie, 200 million is definitely not the end.
"High expectations. Now Director Li is also a living signboard in urban modern films, the first movie successfully broke 100 million, and this time it is more hopeful to challenge the box office record. We also hope that the box office can be popular, so what is your prediction Yang Lin? “
Jingwei's words made the audience's attention focus on Yang Lin, and everyone was waiting for his amazing words.
"Maybe my goal is relatively high, if only the movie had 300 million, and it would not be a problem for the box office to break 500 million. If the total box office is more than 600 million, try swimming naked! “
In these years, there must be gimmicks, Yang Lin knows very well the three flavors, so it is very interesting to make promises with ruthless words, naked swimming? What an incredible thing it is to watch Yang Lin swim naked! It's not a fantasy, as long as 600 million, as long as 600 million, you can enjoy handsome guys swimming naked, and such a good opportunity is estimated to make those fans crazy.
――――――――――――――――――――――――――
After three days of interruption, I knew it was wrong, but the lazy factor on my body made me feel at ease after finding an excuse.
It's really my fault, I feel smooth sailing when I write now, and I don't have much enthusiasm for writing articles. How much passion can 1,770,000 words consume? This book was written for nine months, and Yang Lin accompanied me for nine months, and sometimes I was very resistant to such an idea and wanted to write something new.
The most I have ever written in the past is a 3,000-word paper, how many words is this book converted to? I'm not trying to excuse myself, I'm thinking about how to keep my passion for writing alive.
The reason for writing a book is naturally interest, but now interest has become a lingering responsibility, so many book friends are anxiously waiting, and I am also very anxious. Many people have advised me to end it quickly, but this book is obviously still early, and there is still so much to write, why do everyone think that it has reached the point where it must be ended?
No guarantees, no promises, 25 chapters owed.
