Chapter 266 Publicity, this time starting with a child

Whether it is "Changing Face" or "Rush Hour", as long as it is not filmed very badly, and then you put some effort into publicity, then the box office is most likely guaranteed.

After all, these two movies were still very impressive at the North American box office in the previous life. And if it is filmed, the script written by Wen Yi, the Oscar best screenwriter, is also full of gimmicks, coupled with the box office appeal of Wen Yi, Cheng Jie and others in China, even if the North American box office is not good, the Chinese box office is still guaranteed.

determined the intention of cooperation, Wen Yi did not rush back to China, but found Frank and told him his idea.

Frank naturally knew that Wen Yi was deliberately pushing Chinese filmmakers to develop in Hollywood. But he felt that this push was a bit crazy.

"What? Mr. Franck! Lionsgate has no interest in two films? Wen Yi smiled and asked.

"Mr. Wen Yi, I haven't even seen the script yet, and I don't even know what kind of film you want to invest in, how do you let me answer you!" Frank had the heart to refuse, but at this time, Lionsgate and Wen Yi's Jiayi relationship was in the honeymoon period.

Moreover, whether it was the release of "Resident Evil" in North America or the later joint venture "Kung Fu", Lionsgate brought great profits. Of course, more importantly, they also fell in love with the Chinese film market. And Wenyi's Jiayi company can help them in this regard.

Frank felt that Wen Yi was a little sloppy, but he couldn't refuse outright. is obviously afraid of hurting the "friendship" between him and Wen Yi!

Wen Yi naturally saw Frank's hesitation, and he didn't care. Lionsgate has no investment interest. It doesn't matter if he invests independently. As long as Lionsgate can support the distribution. Of course. It would be great if Lionsgate could have a joint venture.

"The script will definitely not be written for a while. However, I can mention the outline of the story to Mr. Franck! Wen Yi smiled and said.

Frank looked at Wen Yi and seemed to see confidence in his eyes. Yes, self-confidence. This self-confidence was not available when filming "Kung Fu".

"Kung Fu" is very successful, but Wen Yi does not have this confidence. So there are two movies......

Thinking of this, Frank's interest suddenly rose. The movie written by Wen Yi, taking advantage of the fact that he has just won the Oscar, may not be without a head.

However, at this time, he was busy with the release of "The Expendables". But he doesn't mind taking over the two films Wen Yi said after he is busy.

"Changing Face" actually has some similarities with "Infernal Affairs". The original version of the previous life was inspired by "Changing Face". It's just that the focus of the two is different, and "Changing Face" is more dramatic.

"Rush Hour" can be said to be the representative work of the boss in Hollywood in the previous life, and if you can shoot three films in a row, it can be seen that this film is popular Cheng Dù.

Both films have dual protagonists, and neither is different. One focuses on acting. A focused action! Hearing Wen Yi's views on these two films, Franck's eyes became brighter and brighter.

Collocation. The combination of Chinese actors and Western actors undoubtedly takes into account the Western film market and the Chinese film market. Taking care of both, as long as the movie is not made into garbage, then it is unlikely to lose money.

Frank is an excellent producer, and he naturally has a unique vision. was said by Wen Yi, he is undoubtedly very optimistic about the market situation of these two films.

In fact, Wen Yi still likes Lionsgate to get involved, after all, the meal has to be eaten bite by bite, and the road has to be taken step by step. After all, Jiayi Company is still very new to Hollywood, and its background is too poor, so it needs to be accumulated slowly.

"The Expendables" is the beginning, and "Changing Face" and "Rush Hour" are accumulating.

Negotiated the cooperation intention with Lionsgate, Wen Yi did not delay any longer, and then got up and returned to China.

At this time, only a few days after the Oscar ceremony, Wen Yi won the Best Adapted Screenplay Award and became the first Chinese to win the Oscar. Almost all the media paid attention to when Wen Yi would return to China.

"Boss, why don't you notify Sister Wen and ask them to arrange for someone to pick us up at the airport! With your current popularity, if you are recognized, I am afraid that you will not even be able to get out of the airport! On the plane, Yang Jun whispered to Wen Yi.

"I don't know how many pairs of eyes are staring at Jiayi Company now, as soon as they make a move, don't they just tell those media that I will return to China today?" Wen Yi smiled and said, "They don't know that I will return to China today, as long as I am not recognized, how can I not get out of the airport." What's more, the airport is not empty. ”

"Boss, it's not easy to recognize you." Yang Jun said.

"Didn't anyone on the plane recognize me yet?" Wen Yi said with a smile, and gestured to his clothes.

Wen Yi's dress has always been very unique, and she has hardly changed like this. It's a Tang costume, and it's rare to see him wearing suits and other clothes. His style of dress is familiar to everyone, and many imitate it. And he walked on the Oscar red carpet before, and it is estimated that there are more people who imitate him.

There are many people who imitate it, but they can't imitate that kind of charm. But that outfit is still very eye-catching. So in order to avoid trouble, Wen Yi specially changed his clothes this time.

In his opinion, who would have thought that he would change his dressing style?

However, to put it in a vulgar phrase: if you change your waistcoat, won't you be recognized?

As soon as Wen Yi's words fell, several people on the plane recognized Wen Yi, screamed one after another, and then quickly surrounded Wen Yi and asked Wen Yi for an autograph and a group photo, until the flight attendants on the plane arrived.

Yang Jun smiled and looked at Wen Yi without speaking, the meaning was already obvious.

Wen Yi was a little depressed, and saw that he was dressed in sportswear, and he also wore a hat and a pair of glasses, and he was actually recognized before the plane took off. Moreover, this is still in the United States.

There is a depression that has nowhere to hide.

"It's too late to call now. Wait until you get off the plane and act on the plane! Wen Yi smiled bitterly and then said.

Wen Yi is already very popular, but now he is returning with honor, and he is still being hyped by the media. As he said, there was nowhere to hide.

When I got off the plane, before I got out of the airport, I saw countless reporters and countless fans watching.

"It seems that my whereabouts have leaked news!" Wen Yi shook his head and said with some sighs. For those pervasive media, there is some helplessness.

When you can't get it, you want it. After I got it, I didn't want it anymore.

In my previous life, I dreamed of all the attention. Now, I really have all the attention, but I find that this may not be what I want.

There were too many people, the security guards from Jiayi's company, and the airport were to no avail, so in the end, a lot of police officers were dispatched, and Wen Yi walked out of the airport.

As soon as Wen Yi returned to China, although the media failed to interview him, he almost paralyzed the airport as soon as he returned to China, which can be regarded as exciting news.

The overwhelming invitations followed, Wen Yi ignored them, but devoted himself to the production of "Kung Fu Panda", and rarely appeared in front of the public. The only time was at the next Academy Awards.

And at this year's Academy Awards, although Wen Yi only won the Best Action Design Award for "Kung Fu", there is no doubt that he is the most dazzling person in this year's Academy Awards.

"Mulan" became the biggest winner of this year's Academy Awards, and although Yuan Fang only won the Best Actress nomination and did not win it in the end, it was already an unexpected surprise for her to be nominated.

After all, "Mulan" is the first film in which she moved from behind the scenes to the front of the stage.

In May, the production of "Kung Fu Panda" was completed and entered the publicity stage.

"Propaganda, this time from the little children?" Sun Zheng looked at Wen Yi with some surprise.

"That's right! Start with little ones! A small child wants to see, then it is impossible not to be accompanied by an adult! Wen Yi smiled and said, "I just want to change the status quo of many young people entering the theater!" Movies can also be family-style consumption! (To be continued......)
