This is not a film in competition, and no amount of praise will win any of the awards at the Cannes Film Festival. However, this is also within the scope of Warner's plan, and now it is starting to build momentum for the movie, so many reporters and so many newspapers are absolutely free publicity.

The Cannes Film Festival will never be short of good films, and "Inception" will mainly be "popcorn-depth in the right proportion". Although the narrative structure of the film is multi-layered, it is strictly linear and clearly recognizable, so as not to get lost in the labyrinth of time and space. However, the film's characters are thin, and some critics have criticized the characters as pawns or puppets. The protagonist Cobb's personality is relatively simple, and although Yang Lin's interpretation is more brilliant, it still has flaws; Fortunately, the brilliance of the supporting actors makes up for this shortcoming, and good actors can save the characters because they bring in their own personalities and characteristics, such as Gordon. Arthur, played by Levitt, is calm and tepid; Tom. Hardy has a great sense of humor, and Ellen Peggy is cute and cute.

There was so much news on the first day, but fortunately, there was gold content, so it successfully fired the first shot, and there was nothing after that, after all, it was really long before the release. In this way, Yang Lin doesn't have any heart to spend on Cannes, he is not one of those second- or third-rate stars, trying his best to rub the red carpet. As long as he wants to, a lot of attention opportunities will appear.

He hadn't returned to China for a long time, and after a day of rest, he flew back to Bei~Beijing to start his vacation.

"I haven't seen you for so long, you're a little blessed, muscles!" This pick-up was very low-key, but it was Yang Fan who came in person, and he looked at Yang Lin and couldn't help but quip: "I thought you emigrated." It feels like I haven't seen you in a long time. ”

Yang Lin glanced at him angrily. Put your suitcase down. Then he moved his arm to show off his biceps, and said provocatively: "I have spent a lot of effort on body shaping, but you, you look at your belly, you are a few months pregnant?" ”

Yang Fan was not ashamed but proudly touched his beer belly, and then patted it on it and said, "Do you think I am willing?" There is no time at all, and you often have to drink and socialize, and your sister-in-law has long been dissatisfied. ”

He stepped forward and lifted the suitcase. put it in the trunk, and then said to Yang Lin: "I really didn't expect you to return to China so soon, I just watched the news and was still saying that you won glory for the country or something." ”

"I haven't been back for so long, so I booked an early morning flight and can't wait to come back. I had a long vacation this time, and I finally had a free time, so it's not easy. Yang Lin really wanted to let the boss have a bowl of tears at the moment, damn it, he was busy for half a year before he rested.

"Ahem, I don't think you're too idle. Let's keep working a little bit, there are still so many artists waiting to open and eat in our company. You're the boss of the company, you have to solve it! Yang Fan decided to say it at this moment: "Actually, now our company has signed a few good artists, but after all, the resources are limited, and there are too few movies and TV series developed by ourselves, so we can only cooperate with others." After the recent collaboration with Tang Ren on "Step by Step", we have not yet found a next job. Do you have any good suggestions? ”

Looking at the street trees that kept flashing outside the window, Yang Lin tapped his head with his fingers, this question is very worrying, having a star cultivation system does not mean that everything is going well. This company has gathered too much effort, and he is moving towards an entertainment aircraft carrier like Huayi Brothers.

"In this way, the subject matter is very limited now, and there are too few good screenwriters, we can find suitable movies and TV series on the Internet, buy their film and television adaptation rights, and deal with it temporarily. There shouldn't be any problem with funding, right? Yang Lin asked unintentionally.

Yang Fan nodded, there is no problem with funds, because Yang Lin's ability to make money is too strong, and one person is enough to support the entire company, not to mention that there are big-name actors or directors like Liu Yifei and Li Junxiao.

"By the way, a few days ago, the Cheng~du Film and Television Base called and said that the film and television base has been preliminarily completed, and it is generally completed, and only a few buildings are still under construction. If you have time, you can contact a few friends to attend the inauguration ceremony, after all, this is a project between our company and the local government. This is a project that you strongly recommended we to do, but at your own expense! ”

If he hadn't reminded him, Yang Lin would have forgotten about it. This film and television base took two years to finally build, all the ancient costume buildings, there are small bridges and flowing buildings in the south of the Yangtze River, there are also majestic palaces, castles with a strong alien atmosphere, in short, most of the scenes in the tomb of the gods can be found here, because this is for the filming of "The Tomb of the Gods".

Such a big project would be forgotten by himself, Yang Lin couldn't help but pat his forehead, and said with some annoyance: "Oh my God, what have I been doing lately!" Such a big thing will be forgotten, I will deal with this matter this holiday, I hope it will not be too late. ”

Yang Fan thought that Yang Lin knew, but after hearing his words, his face turned black into the bottom of the pot, he put his hands on the steering wheel, took advantage of the traffic light to glare at Yang Lin fiercely, and said, "Don't you know that the Internet is already crazy?" said that it was like this again, and then disappeared after some news, which is simply a loss of conscience. ”

Unable to refute him, Yang Lin muttered: "Anyway, it's not too late, I'll go and sort out the information later, and then look at the schedule." Let Li Junxiao help with the casting director of the movie, let's hold an audition and make the momentum bigger, so that no one will question it. ”

"Gotta come on, it's off-hours, don't talk to me about that. I received an order from your daughter-in-law to take you back, and come to the company tomorrow when I go to work to discuss. ”

The car slowly drove into the community, and after Yang Lin got out of the car, he patted the glass on the window and said, "Thank you, then see you tomorrow!" ”

Standing at the bottom of the community, Yang Lin looked up at his floor, because of the time difference, he set off from Cannes in the morning and returned to Bei~Beijing It was already night. The early summer breeze blows on your face, and although it is not as fresh and damp as Cannes, it has a familiar smell.

Orange lights shine through the curtains. The spider plants on the balcony are leafy and drooping a large patch of green. It looks very pleasant. Show a big smile. Yang Lin feels that this is his harbor, a place called home.

"You're back?" After hearing the sound of the door opening, Liu Yifei popped her head out in the kitchen, she looked innocent with her ponytail, and the goddess with an apron was even more fireworks in the world.

After Yang Lin changed into slippers, he walked straight over and saw Liu Yifei, who had always kept his fingers on the spring water, stir-frying on the natural gas stove, and his posture looked decent. The appearance of this dish is also very good.

He hugged Liu Yifei's waist from behind, hunched his chin on her shoulder, and said softly, "I'm back." ”

Turning his head, after pecking Yang Lin like a dragonfly on his lips, Liu Yifei blushed slightly and began to deal with the food in the pot. She patted Yang Lin's restless hand with her hand, and said angrily: "Go take a shower, and you can eat with a few dishes." ”

How could Yang Lin, who eats marrow and knows taste, give up the food that fell into his mouth? He hugged Liu Yifei a little hard, his lips were printed domineeringly, and then he tasted the nectar that he had not seen for a long time, he was not satisfied. Sticking his tongue in, the two of them kissed passionately. This moment forgets the time, and also forgets the food in the pot.

When the smell of mush rose and the smoke rose, the two of them let go unsatisfied.

The next day, Firefly Entertainment Company ushered in a rare commotion, the boss and first brother Yang Lin, who had not appeared in the company for a long time, made a rare appearance, and many new employees were still curious onlookers.

"Now everyone is here, right? Let me talk about my future plans, in fact, there is only one plan, that is, the filming of "Tomb of the Gods". I think everyone has already read the script, and it is almost impossible to condense such a thick script into a movie, so I think it will be a series of movies, similar to "The Lord of the Rings" or "Harry Potter". ”

Yang Lin sat on the main seat, he patted the mountain-like script on the table, and said with emotion: "My initial idea is to shoot the first part to test the water, if it doesn't work, we can abandon it later, if it is feasible, then fully explore this theme." After all, it has some prequels and postscripts or something. ”

The people who could sit in the conference room were all the backbone members of Firefly Entertainment, Yang Fan knocked on the table with a pen, and asked suspiciously: "Of course we agree with this plan, otherwise how could we spend a lot of money to repair the film and television base." Now what we need to discuss is how much money to invest, who the director chooses, you must be the starring role, there is no doubt about it. How many shooting cycles do we have, and when will it be released? ”

Zhang Qian nodded, and said with deep sympathy: "Now the problem is in the return on investment, the investment in Hollywood big productions is more than 100 million, and when converted into RMB, it is six or seven billion." The total box office of our movies is only so much now, and we will definitely lose money when the time comes. If the investment is less, then the production of actors and movies will be greatly reduced, and the box office will also be affected. ”

"I've already thought about what you're saying. There is so much investment in Hollywood films, and the starring role is used for the actor's salary and post-production. The prices of domestic actors are generally low, and Liu Yifei and I directly play the male and female leads, and the salary can be suppressed to the minimum, and there is no place for more other actors. In post-production, we don't need to find a Hollywood special effects team at all, because our company has been at the forefront of the world, and now 3D technology has not yet been popularized, but our company has mastered it. This year, cinemas around the world are updating their 3D players, and Avatar at the end of the year is the catalyst, and then the number of 3D screens will increase, which is our advantage. Everything is self-owned, and the investment will not go anywhere, and the film can completely take the international route and be released all over the world with the wave of 3D. ”

Yang Lin's ambition gradually emerged, he is not a person who keeps the job, but a warrior who has the courage to open up. The "Tomb of the Gods" series has both pure oriental flavor and western magical elements, and the two blend with each other to show audiences in Europe and the United States a world that is both familiar and unfamiliar. This is just the first part of his plan!

"As for the director, I want to co-direct with Li Junxiao, after all, neither of us has ever shot such a big movie, so we need to cooperate. In terms of actors, Li Junxiao and Yang Fan, the producer, will cast together, and the roles auditioned for are as follows, and I have already found actors for some other roles, so you can contact them directly. I also want to find a few European and American actors, so that the audience in Europe and the United States will not know each other. If you cast magic, the two actors in "Harry Potter" are good, and characters such as goddesses and popes can also be found in Hollywood, anyway, they are all supporting roles, and they don't cost much. ”

A blockbuster, you can't just let him hold it alone! He will be crushed to death by the burden. (To be continued......)
