Chapter 209: Wen Yi wants to make a romance movie
As soon as the Forbes China celebrity list came out, Wen Yi once again became the focus of the media.
On the list, although Wen Yi's income last year was not the highest, it was not counting his personal investment and business income after all, if he counted those, then his income would be more than that. Even one of his movies doesn't make more than that little money.
"Infernal Affairs" is about to be released, stepping on the end of the Spring Festival file, such a schedule does not have any time advantage, but suffers a little. After all, the Spring Festival holiday is over. And there are also signs of a vacuum at the box office.
The busiest time for any job, absolutely usually, is not before the holiday, but after the holiday, when you just come back to work.
And "Infernal Affairs" was released on the fifteenth day of the first month, and there were not a few days between the time when I just came back to work.
However, this is also a helpless move. Of course, there is also an advantage at this time, that is, it is undoubtedly that the atmosphere of the Spring Festival has not completely dissipated at this time.
And the fifteenth day of the first month, although not as good as Chinese New Year's Eve, but it is also a traditional festival in China.
When it will be released, there are many things to consider. Wen Yi believes that the classics of "Infernal Affairs" can make up for those unfavorable factors.
What's more, this time is not the best time to be released, but it is not the worst either. The summer file, the Spring Festival file or something, may not be the best.
The momentum of "Infernal Affairs" is not small, and it is naturally imperative to hold a screening ceremony. The style of this film reveals a strong Xiangjiang movie flavor, and most of the actors and staff are also from Xiangjiang. The screening ceremony was not arranged in the East China Sea, where Jiayi's company is located. Instead, it was held in Hong Kong.
In fact. Before shooting. Many media said that Xu Ke wanted to reproduce the glory of Xiangjiang films through this film, and wanted to reverse the declining Xiangjiang film market. Placing the venue of the screening in Xiangjiang is not necessarily without this consideration.
"There will definitely be a sequel to "Resident Evil", no matter how good or bad the box office is, it will definitely not start filming in a short time. And the second part will definitely have a great upgrade on top of the scenes and action. You have to be mentally prepared. On the plane to Xiangjiang, Wen Yi said to Lin Yuyan.
"Hmm!" Lin Yuyan nodded and said.
For the sequel to Resident Evil. As long as she, the leading actor, is naturally the clearest. In fact, most of the people in the crew of "Resident Evil" know this. It is estimated that after the film is released, fans will also see this from the film.
"After the post-production of "Resident Evil" is completed, I will shoot a low-budget romance film, ready to be released in the summer, and when I come back from Xiangjiang, I will give you the script, you take advantage of this time to think about it, you play the female number one in this film." Wen Yi said again.
"Romance?" Lin Yuyan looked at Wen Yi in some surprise. Asked.
She knew Wen Yi's habit of shooting another movie after she finished shooting it. The schedule is tight. There are some differences between many directors of this, and it seems that Wen Yi's movies are all at hand, and it doesn't take much time at all.
"Actually, if it weren't for 6 Ming and Bona Film and Television jumping out to find trouble, I would have planned to shoot this film in my last play. It's just postponed. Wen Yi smiled and said.
When Lin Yuyan heard this, her eyes were even more surprised. She knew very well in her heart that Wen Yi or Jiayi Company had decided to support herself before, and after the previous "** Agent" was rejected by herself, there was "Resident Evil". But she didn't expect that before this film, Wen Yi also prepared another low-cost romance film for herself.
"Small-budget movies may not be as influential as those big-budget films. If this film is done well, I believe that your popularity in Asia will increase a lot. Wen Yi continued.
"I see." Lin Yuyan nodded.
What Wen Yi said, she naturally knows. "Crazy Stone", a small-budget movie, has a great influence. Not only in China, but also in Asia, but also in Europe and the United States, there are many filmmakers who praise it. Among them, there are also directors who imitate the narrative and style of "Crazy Stone" to shoot several films, and the results are also very gratifying.
"Can you tell us a little bit?" Lin Yuyan continued.
"Your sassy girlfriend?" Xu Ke looked at Wen Yi with a smile and said with some surprise.
Xu Ke wants to shoot a sequel to "Infernal Affairs" next, although the first part has not yet been released, but he is full of confidence in that movie. Moreover, he has the script of the sequel, and he can't wait. So I picked up Wen Yi and others at the airport, and when I arrived at the hotel, I couldn't wait to ask Wen Yi's opinion.
It's a pity that Wen Yi has a lot of scenes in the second part, and Wen Yi still needs to be coordinated for the schedule. Of course, it is not only Wen Yi who needs to coordinate the schedule, but also other actors. However, the most important thing is Wen Yi.
After all, in addition to starring, Wen Yi is also the screenwriter of the film, and of course, the most important thing is that he invested in this movie. When to start filming the sequel, it is up to him to decide. It's just that I didn't expect it, but the answer I got was that Wen Yi planned to make a low-budget romance film to praise Lin Yuyan. On top of the current period, there are some conflicts.
Jiayi's company has developed rapidly, but it is still lacking in the lineup of signed actors. Although Lin Yuyan, who was the first to sign the contract, and later Yuan Fang, and even those actors of "Crazy Stone", they were all highly praised by Jiayi's company.
But the effect is so great that many are still waiting to see what happens.
Jiayi's company strongly supported Lin Yuyan and invested in the filming of "Resident Evil", and even directed by Wen Yi, a hot person now.
At this time, Wen Yi planned to shoot a romance film next, and from the name, Xu Ke smelled a hint of it. This film is estimated to be highly praised by Lin Yuyan.
As for why, Wen Yi is so interested in praising Lin Yuyan. Xu Ke naturally didn't delve into it.
That Yuan Fang signed a contract with Jiayi Company because of "Resident Evil". Before the film was completed, it was already rumored that Jiayi Company praised her for cooperating with Zhang Xiaogang of Huaxia Pictures to shoot a costume blockbuster.
Yuan Fang is like this, the first "wrist" who took the initiative to sign a contract with Jiayi Company, and naturally praised it more vigorously.
"The title of the film is called "My Sassy Girlfriend", what yours, mine! The word 'I' in the title of the film is a generic reference. When Wen Yi heard this, he glanced at Xu Ke angrily and said.
"Huh! If I guessed correctly, the heroine should be Lin Yuyan's girl, right? Xu Ke looked at Wen Yi and smiled weirdly.
"Oh! How? Is there a problem? Wen Yi looked at Xu Ke and then said, "Lin Yuyan has a pure appearance, although she has acted in many films, she is mostly a vase. If you want to change the audience's image of her, a "Resident Evil" is not enough. ”
"You're so attentive to him." Xu Ke smiled and said, "As far as the film is concerned, it's not bad to choose her." The appearance is pure, which can give people a contrast. The most important thing is that you wrote and directed herself, and you also chose her as the heroine. If you play the male lead again, that's even better. ”
"How do I think there's something in your words, and you're smiling so badly." Wen Yi frowned, looked at Xu Ke, who was smiling a little obscenely and speaking a little yin and yang.
"Huh! That girl is interesting to you, and it's no secret to you inside and outside the circle. You shoot this film, it's still your first romance genre, and the name is even more reverie. "My Sassy Girlfriend", hehe! You say that as soon as the title of this film comes out, what will the media think, and what will fans think? It is estimated that the film has not started filming yet, and the scandal between you and that girl is probably going to make a fuss. This is undoubtedly an excellent boost to the popularity of the film. ”
Wen Yi's mouth opened wide, dumbfounded, and he was a little surprised.
He didn't think about this at all when he made this film. is mainly because of the film in the previous life, which can be said to have swept the whole of Asia in an instant, and the heroine is even more popular all over Asia.
This is undoubtedly a film that can make Lin Yuyan popular. Moreover, with this film, it is unknown that it may be able to pry open the film market in some countries.
Lin Yuyan can rely on this film to become famous, which also tells others how strong Jiayi's company or Wenyi's ability to praise people is.
Hearing Xu Ke's words, Wen Yi suddenly reacted, no wonder that Lin Yuyan reacted a little weirdly after hearing the title of this film on the plane.
She wouldn't have any misunderstanding, would she?
Now, whether she will have any misunderstanding, Wen Yi is not sure. But he is sure that as soon as the news of the filming of this film came out, the scandal between him and Lin Yuyan will definitely explode again with an unstoppable degree.
Is this a good thing or a bad thing? (To be continued......)
