Chapter 134: Two Monkeys

……

Time came to December 25th, on Christmas Day in the West, the crew of "The Legend of Wukong" held a press conference, and after repeated selections, the selection of several protagonists of this movie was finally settled.

The reporters were surprised to find that including Tang Seng, Wujing, Tianpeng, Xiaobailong's master and apprentice, as well as the heroine Zixia, A Yue and other important roles, director Liu Jin all used new stars in the film and television industry.

According to Liu Jin, the movie "The Legend of Wukong" will be the same as its original novel, a work dedicated to young people, although the selection of young actors, there may be acting experience and other aspects, but the style selling point of the play itself has been decided, only young actors can express the charm of the characters in the original work.

And who has been arguing about the role of Sun Wukong for more than ten days, who will play it, is it Chu Feng or An Ran, in an interview with reporters, director Liu Jin still shook his head with a tangled face, "This role is still not able to make a decision at present, Chu Feng and An Ran are both very good, it is difficult for us to choose, the crew is still discussing, please be patient." ”

After waiting for another five days, there was still no news after Enron attended the New Year's Day party at Royal Roads University.

The media hype of the two competing for the same role continues, and the scolding war between fans shows no end in sight.

Although Enron's die-hard fans are managed by Zhang Xiaoyuan and other fan leaders, there are hundreds of thousands of fans and fans who are active in the meager area, and most of them have not been incorporated by the management team of Enron's official website, so although several fan leaders have repeatedly called on everyone to keep their senses, the results have had little effect.

In addition, whether it is for the purpose of tailwind hype or really out of interest, some artists in the circle are also involved in this controversy. In public or non-public occasions, they have expressed their opinions on who is more suitable to play the Monkey King among these two singers.

From the Internet to TV, from ordinary netizens to artists in the circle, this hype of the crew of "The Legend of Wukong". It can be called a perfect example of movie warm-up.

And Chu Feng and An Ran, who were the parties involved, invariably kept silent about this matter during this time.

……

Shangwu Street, No. 108, Huaxia Brothers Company Headquarters.

“…… According to our reporter, "The Legend of Wukong", produced by Oriental Film and Television and directed by Liu Jin, will start filming in April next year, and several protagonists of the movie have been determined, and who is the role of Sun Wukong. The crew still has no definite statement.

Chu Feng's agent expressed strong confidence in a telephone interview with this reporter, while the other client, Enron, continued to maintain a low-key style and still did not make a statement on this matter, and its economic company also said that Enron has no plans to be interviewed at present......"

Sun Mingliang turned off the TV, his brows furrowed, and his heart was anxious.

An Ran is the biggest artist of Huaxia Brothers. can participate in such a big-budget movie, whether it is for Enron personally. or Huaxia Brothers, it is a rare opportunity, and Sun Mingliang must be fully supported.

But at present, in addition to waiting for the crew's choice, Sun Mingliang is completely helpless, and with the insignificant scale of Huaxia Brothers, he is unable to exert any pressure on the investors and Liu Jin.

Although Sun Mingliang has been in the entertainment industry for decades. But his connections are basically in the music industry, and the pool of water in the film and television industry is too deep, even if the Sun family has a friend who works in relevant departments, they have expressed their love for this matter.

Oriental Film and Television, which is in a giant position in the film industry, is not a small fish and shrimp that anyone can get into......

"Xiaohu," Sun Mingliang thought for a moment, his eyes lit up, "Your original authorship, do you want to ......?"

An Ran shook his head and gave Sun Mingliang a relieved smile, "Uncle Liang, there is no need to worry about this matter anymore, I have other plans." ”

"Besides, Director Liu Jin's favorite actor was not me."

An Ran's eyes grew slightly colder, the hype of "The Legend of Wukong" during this period was undoubtedly successful, but for An Ran himself, it was not a dime of benefit, not only had to be used by the crew to increase the attention of the movie, but also had to be a foil for Chu Feng when the dust settled in the end.

Whether it is the investor or the great director Liu Jin, there is still no explanation, not even a hint in private.

It's no wonder who made himself a little person who has just debuted in the music industry and has not yet set foot in the film and television industry, laughed at himself.

But... An Ran squinted his eyes and rubbed his chin with his fingers, I'm afraid everyone couldn't imagine that he, a little person, was also planning to take a ride on "The Legend of Wukong".

"Heh-" Sun Mingliang sighed with a stunned face, "Actually, I also thought that from the crew arranging for you to audition for Sun Wukong, I knew that this time I was afraid that there would be no drama." ”

"However, I am a little unwilling, and I always think that there should be a way to reverse it, after all, the opportunity is rare." Sun Mingliang smiled bitterly and shook his head.

An Ran stood up, poured a cup of tea for the middle-aged handsome uncle, sat on the desk, took out a stack of printed brochures from behind him and handed it to Sun Mingming.

Sun Mingliang blinked, took the booklet in his hand in confusion, and looked down, there were four large characters in Song style on the cover of the booklet, from top to bottom-

"Huh? Big... Journey to the West? Your new book? Sun Mingliang looked up in surprise.

An Ran had an unpredictable smile on his face, stretched out his finger and dotted twice, signaling Sun Mingliang to continue.

"Guanyin: Sun Wukong, you beast, you originally promised the Buddha to escort your master Tang Sanzang to get the Western Sutra, but you actually colluded with the Bull Demon King to eat your master, do you know that you have committed a mortal crime?

Monkey King: Less wordy! You chased me for three days and three nights, because you are a woman, I will not kill you, don't think that I am afraid of you!

Tang Seng: Wukong, how can you talk to Sister Guanyin like this?

Wukong: Wow! Don't be noisy!

Tang Seng: You're scaring me again! ”

……

Sun Mingliang stood up from the chair with a snort, and his mouth was open, "This is ...... Screenplay? ”

An Ran squinted and nodded with a smile, "That's right, it took me almost ten days to get out." ”

Swallowing his saliva, Sun Mingliang felt his voice tremble, "Who...... Clap? ”

An Ran curled the corners of his mouth and pointed his finger at himself. The burning gaze is bright and scary.

……

It took An Ran a whole afternoon to appease Sun Mingming, who was a little "overly frightened".

With the current situation of the Huaxia brothers and the current age of Enron...... Making a movie? Even if it's "get famous as soon as possible", don't bring it like this.

Sun Mingliang once wondered if this kid had this idea because he couldn't get the starring role in "The Legend of Wukong", and he was angry for a while.

But An Ran's calm and resolute demeanor told him. Apparently not so.

"Why?" Enron raised an eyebrow and raised a finger.

"First, now that "The Legend of Wukong" has been hyped so fiercely, it can be said that this movie has reached the level of popularity before it was filmed, as "Journey to the West", which is also based on "Journey to the West" as a derivative story, you can take advantage of this popularity and take advantage of this free publicity without any manpower and material resources."

Sun Mingliang gasped and frowned in thought. Wave your hand to continue safely.

"Second, also because of the benefits of the early publicity of "The Legend of Wukong", I, a seventeen-year-old singer, also came to make a film, which will only make the media more popular.

After the filming of "Journey to the West" was completed, with the hype of the media, the scheduling rate of major theaters was bound to be not low, which also saved us huge publicity costs. What's more, it eliminates the need for it. It is necessary to negotiate with the issuing company. ”

An Ran's voice was full of bewitchment, "Uncle Liang, this is a very rare opportunity. ”

The film scheduling rate, whether in the previous life or this life, is always the most critical issue affecting the box office of a movie. However, the difference is that in the previous life, the scheduling rate of a movie was largely large. It depends on who the investor is, whether the relationship with the theater bosses is in place, whether the director is a big name, the level of social attention, and so on.

In the final analysis, these are human factors that have little to do with the quality of the film itself.

But in this life, although there is a similar human influence to the previous life, it is minimal, because the Chinese film scheduling rate in this life is determined by big data.

The so-called "big data" is similar to the "movie box office prediction model" in the United States in the previous life, this model can predict the box office revenue of the first week of a movie a month in advance, and the accuracy is as high as 90 percent.

Moreover, not only will the film scheduling rate be done according to "big data", but the successful American drama "House of Cards" in the previous life was fundamentally based on "big data" to invest in filming, and the results are obvious.

"Big data" is mysterious, but in fact, it is easy to understand, and its components include the influence of a film and television drama in society, the attention on the Internet, and how many people will want to watch it, the number of keywords distributed on important websites, and the total number of views of videos such as trailers......

Therefore, the hype of "The Legend of Wukong" has already earned enough eyeballs and raised the attention to a terrifying level.

It is conceivable that when it is released in October or New Year next year, the scheduling rate of "The Legend of Wukong" will inevitably squeeze into the top three, and it is not impossible to even be the first.

This is the reason why investors have spared no effort to carry out speculation, and Enron wants to take this ride.

"Therefore, since Oriental Film and Television has 'helped' us save so many manpower, financial and material resources, I am not afraid of this "Journey to the West", which is inevitably a little too 'unkind'."

Putting Sun Mingming's still entangled hesitation, after An Ran finished speaking, a playful smile appeared on his face, and his eyes were gloomy.

Filming "Journey to the West", borrowing chickens to lay eggs is certainly the biggest reason, but to say that there is no factor in the heart of the fire because of the use of hype by Oriental film and television, Enron himself does not believe it.

No matter how good-tempered people are, they can't swallow this breath, it is true that Oriental Film and Television is a giant, and Liu Jin is also a world-recognized director, in front of them, An Ran is just a little person who has just debuted not long ago.

Maybe someone else might have endured it this time, but... An Ran's eyes were cold, and the corners of his mouth flashed with a hint of ridicule, the advantage of the reborn is not so easy to take advantage of.

"They're all monkeys anyway, and it's not bad for us."
