Chapter 485 The sheets can be rolled, but the contract has to wait a while
"Terminator 2" is still being released sporadically in the United States, and it has not yet been fully painted, and "The Silence of the Lambs" filmed by Dark Horse International has been scheduled to be released, and the premiere is scheduled for September 8.
The summer vacation film industry has just passed, and the audience also needs a buffer period. If "The Silence of the Lambs" is really a classic film, it should be arranged in the summer vacation.
Therefore, this film did not attract much attention before its release, and the main reason for the attention is that the director is Chen Ping'an, an Oriental. The propaganda work of Anthony Hopkins and Lin Qingxia has a certain effect, but it is not obvious.
When there were still five days before the premiere of "The Silence of the Lambs", "Nuns Are Crazy" was completed, and Chen Ping'an devoted himself to the post-editing work. There is no way, the films he directed, due to the control of the number of shots and the small amount of film, are a very big challenge for editors, because there are too few films available for editing, and with him in them, the editing work will be much smoother.
Wu Yusen's "This Killer Is Not Too Cold" was completed ten days ago, and the editing work has been completed. At almost the same time, he shot one film, while Chen Ping'an shot two, using even more film than "The Silence of the Lambs" and "The Nuns Are Crazy" combined.
But no one blames him for anything, he is the normal shooting speed and film usage, Chen Ping'an is purely different.
After the editing of "This Killer Is Not Too Cold" was completed, it was usually tested in the company's small screening room.
Chen Ping'an and He Chaoqiong participated in the test screening together. The former is very curious about how "This Killer Is Not Too Cold", directed by Wu Yusen and starring Zhou Yunfa, will be different from later generations. The former mainly accompanied Chen Ping'an to the premiere of "The Silence of the Lambs" two days later. Chen Ping'an's female companion is Zhong Chuhong.
I have to say, this movie is very exciting. It took a year to prepare, and only half a year to shoot. It was not in vain for so long.
Although he doesn't have the graceful French warmth of Luc Besson, Wu Yusen still handles the relationship between the killer and the girl very well. Just like the relationship between Zhou Runfa and Ye Qianwen in "Bloody Heroes", in "This Killer is Not Too Cold", the kind of innocence between Zhou Runfa and Angelina Jolie is very pure and infectious.
Angelina's performance is amazing, she brings the mentality of a twelve-year-old girl to life. In particular, she took the initiative to show her love to Zhou Yan, highlighting the boldness of an American girl. And Zhou Yanfa as the protagonist is also unique. In the face of the girl's show of love, he showed the usual shyness and shyness of Orientals, which was diametrically opposed to his identity as a killer, which was amazing.
The two main lines in this movie, the relationship between the two, are soft and East-meets-West, and have a unique taste. The other main line is Wu Yusen's strongest point - the aesthetics of violence.
In the rain of bullets, the protagonist shuttles through it. Full of beauty and poetry, it is obviously a bloody killing, but it is not bloody. Since the tone of this film is Western, Wu Yusen can take violence to the extreme. And the aesthetics contained in it are incomparable to Luc Besson.
Unlike "The Bloody Couple", the movie is final. The killer Leon becomes the faithful protector of the young girl Matilda. From this perspective alone, it can be seen that Leon undoubtedly belongs to the real heroic faction. In line with Wu Yusen's consistent hero film style.
When dealing with the scene where he was shot, Wu Yusen used slow motion and mute. What people saw was the slowly expanding blood spots on his eyebrows until he fell to the ground. He traded his own death for Matilda's life, weaving a fairy tale of its purest, heroic and poignant.
The tragic heroic ending is the hallmark of Wu Yusen's violent aesthetics.
If "Bloody Heroes" is still unable to let more Americans appreciate his violent aesthetics because of the cultural differences between the East and the West, then "This Killer Is Not Too Cold" made everyone in the small screening room admire.
It's obviously violent, but it can be filmed so beautifully......
Wu Yusen's violent aesthetics have been praised by all the senior management of Dark Horse International America, and his directing skills have also been affirmed.
After Cameron watched the film, he was full of praise, and Anne Heard also dispelled the dissatisfaction in her heart. She has always been full of resistance to Chen Ping'an's active operation of Orientals to the United States. It's not racial discrimination, but the fear of cultural differences between the East and the West, the inability of Orientals to adapt to Hollywood, and the development of Dark Horse International America.
In addition to Wu Yusen, Zhou Yanfa's acting skills are also a big surprise in Anne Heard's opinion.
She has also seen "The Bloody Heroes", compared with "This Killer Is Not Too Cold", the two movies have two killers and two styles...... For a moment, she was going to label Zhou Yunfa as a tragic hero killer.
Both of these people are objects that can be vigorously cultivated. Of course, the intensity of cultivation also depends on the response after the release of "This Killer Is Not Too Cold".
In addition to these two, she is most interested in Angelina Jolie, a little Lori.
This girl, who has a strong desire and has fully inherited her father's acting talent and talent, has the potential to become a star from the perspective of this film.
"Can you sign her?"
After the screening, Anne Heard invited Chen Ping'an to the office and put forward her own ideas. Who has she heard that Angelina Jolie and Chen Ping'an have a very good relationship, and during Chen Ping'an's filming in San Francisco, Angelina also asked Chen Ping'an many times when he would come to visit the class, and it is said that the two also talked on the phone.
This little girl seems to be quite clingy to Chen Ping'an, which makes Anne Heard see an excellent investment opportunity.
Chen Ping'an shook his head: "I'm afraid not." β
Americans are like this, they are familiar with each other, but they rarely do things with affection.
Not to mention Angelina and his father, even Angelina herself does not agree to sign now.
"I heard that she likes to be with you, and it seems that she never failed when you signed someone. Why don't you give it a try? The undying Anne Heard continued to instigate.
I've tried several times, but every time I failed!
Chen Ping'an couldn't say this to Anne Hurd. He knows better than Anne Heard what Angelina Jolie will accomplish in the future, and if he could, he would have signed it long ago. Even if Angelina continues to study all these years, the company only can't pay her salary, he is happy.
But Angelina is not an ordinary girl, she has a big star dad who knows more about things in the entertainment industry, and she is not willing to sign a contract too early. Although she likes to be with Chen Ping'an and likes to be intimate with Chen Ping'an, these are two different things.
Once, she was in Chen Ping'an's arms, and she was fascinated by Chen Ping'an's kiss, and wanted to roll the sheets with Chen Ping'an, but Chen Ping'an took the opportunity to propose a contract, but she still refused without hesitation.
Sheets can be rolled, contracts have to wait.
Her refusal is not because she is unwilling to sign a contract with Dark Horse International, but because she has to wait until she grows up and finishes her studies, and then she will consider signing a contract.
I can't talk too much about this with Anne Hurd, but Chen Ping'an still pointed out that it is not the best time to sign Angelina.
Anne Heard was very sorry, but she was a woman who could afford to let go, so she no longer dwelled on this matter, but found Wu Yusen, Zhou Yunfa and the head of the company's publicity department to discuss the publicity plan of "This Killer is Not Too Cold".
Someone will go to 21st Century Fox tomorrow to talk about the release, and now it's time to finalize the publicity offensive. Director Wu Yusen and actor Zhou Yunfa are both Orientals, but if they are operated properly, with the last excellent movie, yellow skin and black eyes will become a publicity gimmick and receive miraculous results.
Chen Ping'an did not disturb them, this was an agreement between him and Anne Heard a long time ago, and under normal circumstances, he would not interfere with the latter's management and operation of the company. It is precisely because he can fully delegate power and show his full trust that so many industry leaders will gather around him.
"I can't imagine that you're quite good at employing people."
In the cafΓ©, after He Chaoqiong added milk and sugar, he stirred the coffee and looked at Chen Ping'an.
The longer she has been in contact with Chen Ping'an and the more she knows about him, the more He Chaoqiong discovers the difference between Chen Ping'an.
Chen Ping'an has a number of companies under his name, each of which is managed by professionals. Even the film companies and TV stations that have made a living are managed by Zhang Yijia and Shi Nansheng, two strong women.
This is a typical professional manager system, which has become more popular abroad, but in China, even in the British colony of Hong Kong, family businesses are inherited from the father, and few people trust professional managers so much.
He Chaoqiong has always believed that Chen Ping'an's practice has great hidden dangers and lacks effective restraint on those professional managers, but she is not in a hurry to say that she wants to wait until the time to show her value to Chen Ping'an. Sue him, marrying yourself is definitely very worthwhile.
"Me? Not really. β
"You still don't admit it? Say, what major did you study in the U.S. before? Manage? β
Chen Ping'an thought for a while: "Earlier, I opened a small restaurant, the kind that doesn't learn and has no skills. β
"You still don't know how to learn? Forget it, if you don't want to say it, I won't ask. However, I can tell you that your management style is very risky, and if you are not careful, it may bring you huge losses. For example, they can manipulate the financial report, transfer assets and hollow out the company, and you can't find it at all. β
Is this considered a self-recommendation?
Chen Ping'an smiled and grabbed He Chaoqiong's hand: "So, I need you to help me." β
"Why?" He Chaoqiong withdrew her hand proudly, "What does I have to do with you?" Why should I help you? β
"You will."
β¦β¦
On September 8, the premiere of "The Silence of the Lambs".
and the premiere of "Terminator 2", whether it is the scale, the star-studded Cheng dΓΉ, or the number of media present, the premiere of "The Silence of the Lambs" is much inferior. But it doesn't matter, Chen Ping'an is very confident in this movie.
Chen Ping'an and Zhong Chuhong attended the premiere together, which also made some American media doubt the relationship between the two.
Because the expectations for this movie are not high, the reporter's questions are not sharp, basically just a scene, and there are more reporters interviewing Chen Ping'an than interviewing the hero and heroine.
Zhong Chuhong was a little worried: "A'an, this movie won't be messed up, right?" β
"You're not suspicious of me, are you? Hehe, I'm going to punish you well tonight and make you understand that it's a big mistake to doubt your husband. (To be continued......) R1292
