Chapter 431: Painted Skin Boot (1)
Thinking of this, Lin Xiao took the lead in dialing Liang Zhu's phone.
"Miss Liang. Did Mr. Zhen think about it? His tone was flat, but with a hint of anger.
In a villa in Hong Kong, Liang looked at the mobile phone in his hand blankly, not knowing how to answer.
Next to her, sat Donnie Yen, who was reading a magazine.
"What should I do?" She clutched the phone and asked anxiously.
"What to do?" Donnie Yen glanced at her and said coldly, "What's the urgency of this kid?" It's only been a few days? Is this the attitude that an invitation should have towards me? ”
"Tell him I'm reading the script and thinking about it for a few more days."
"But ......" Liang stopped in a dilemma.
"It's nothing, but, you want me to say yes, and I'll talk about it when he reaches Zhang Yimou's level."
Liang Zhu gritted his teeth and said into the phone, "I'm sorry, Mr. Lin, Mr. Zhen hasn't finished reading the script yet, and he will reply to you as soon as he finishes reading it." ”
"Really?" Lin Xiao's voice came, with suppressed anger, "We have been waiting for Mr. Zhen to hold a press conference, and now Zhao Wei, Zhou Xun, and Sun Li are ready, how many days do we need to wait?" ”
"The last two days."
"If Mr. Zhen can't decide in the past two days, I'm sorry we don't have too much effort to wait, so we can only say that we missed it."
"What!" Donnie Yen slammed the magazine in his hand to the ground, his face full of anger.
Liang Zhu's voice was very loud, and he heard it very clearly.
How dare you threaten me!
His teeth were clucking, and he wanted to yell at the other end of the phone, "I'm sorry, get out!" Who wants you to behave! Who do you think of yourself?! ”
But he can't, he understands the significance of this film very well, especially when Li Kebao, president of Time Warner Asia Pacific, came yesterday, which made people smell the importance of this film.
Unexpectedly, Lin Xiao didn't give him face at all, and said, I don't want to come, right? If you don't want to come, don't come.
What he wanted was a step, Lin Xiao said a few good words, and he took advantage of the slope to roll, and temporarily uncovered the other party and added the treaty.
However, he is hard, and Lin Xiao is harder than him.
At this moment, his face turned red, and his facial features were a little distorted with anger.
Lin ...... Mr. Lin, I will be sure to give you an answer in the evening. Liang saw that something was wrong and hung up the phone in a hurry.
"This bastard!" Two seconds later, Donnie Yen's roar came from the villa.
"How dare you not give me face!" He walked around the room impatiently, his fists clenched tightly.
"Even Chen Jiashang has to talk to me well! This third-year artist actually dares not to give me face! ”
"But...... This opportunity is really good......" Liang stopped talking, she wanted to say, if it wasn't for you dragging on for so long, why would the other party's face be torn.
Indeed, Lin Xiao is also in a hurry, the film must leave enough time for filming, he is the first trinity, and the time must be longer than other films. He couldn't afford to delay a day.
Donnie Yen is playing a big name here, and Lin Xiao is also pressing and pressing over there with a fire in his belly.
"Nonsense! If it weren't for the chance, he would be qualified to speak to me like that! Donnie Yen shouted angrily.
Liang stopped clearing his throat, "Mr. Zhen...... In fact...... In the mainland, the names of Lin Xiao, Zhou Xun, and Zhao Wei are really not small...... Why don't we agree to come down first, and then talk about ......"
Donnie Yen sat down on the sofa irritably, his face gloomy, "Okay, I'll promise him first, but if he has a problem with the computer, I have to 'instruct' him!" ”
That night, Lin Xiao received a call from Liang Zhu, telling him that Donnie Yen had agreed to act.
"Well, I hope we have a good time working together, and besides, there will be a press conference in five days. I hope Mr. Yan will attend on time. Lin Xiao said.
"Sorry...... Mr. Zhen's schedule is very tight...... I'm afraid I won't be able to leave recently......" Liang replied in a low voice.
Suddenly, a fire rushed to Lin Xiao's heart.
How tight is it? Don't even attend the press conference of a film? This can be described as the opening of the film! As one of the leading actors, he actually excused himself!
Play big. He snorted coldly and hung up the phone quietly.
"Is it okay if he doesn't come?" Qin Xin asked worriedly beside him.
"It's okay, what can it do?" Lin Xiao sighed, "He still thinks this is the eighties and nineties? Now if he doesn't turn over with a film, I'm afraid he will never be able to climb to the top red star position. ”
"A few of us definitely have much more influence in the mainland than him!" He put his arm around Qin Xin's waist, rested his head on the other party's shoulder and said, "Look, are there any other press conferences that conflict with us recently?" ”
Qin Xin struggled a few times, and finally gave up, flipped through the book and said, "Yes, in April, director Chen Kai released the news of the new film 'Wuji'. ”
"What about Director Zhang?"
"It is said that there is a film in the pipeline, but it has not yet been announced."
Lin Xiao nodded, he didn't pay attention to these two films.
Chen Kaige, who has achieved the title of a great director with "Farewell My Concubine", is not suitable for making this kind of commercial blockbuster, and Wuji was sprayed to the ground in later generations, such as "boring + shameless = Wuji." "A bloody case caused by steamed buns." Wait, he is more suitable for Guan Jinpeng's fresh and graceful style.
Perhaps because he was carried away by last year's two blockbusters with a box office of over 100 million yuan, and ignited his enthusiasm, even Chen Kaige, who had been silent for so long, decided to set foot in this market.
And Zhang Yimou, this year's ambush on all sides, was criticized as "not as good as a hero" and "the same boring," and other comments can't be covered on the Internet.
The box office of the two films is good, but unfortunately the word-of-mouth is a mess.
But now, Zhang Yimou has not released a new film, so there is only one possibility.
He waited for revenge to come.
No thief in the world gave him a hard blow, this fiasco is enough for him to remember for a long, long time, but he is definitely not a person who is willing to fail, 03 years, with ten ambushes, Liu Dehua, Takeshi Kaneshiro, Zhang Ziyi, vowing to be high and low with the blockbuster of 03!
"It's been a star-studded year." He smiled and touched Qin Xin's hair, bit the other party's ear and said, "At the end of the year, Andy Liu, Takeshi Kaneshiro, Zhang Ziyi, Zhang Dongjian, Zhang Baizhi, Xie Tingfeng, Sanada Hiroyuki, and Ge You gathered together, and the lineup was stronger than last year. ”
"Then we ......"
"Why do you think so much, but you will lose a lot of money. Let's hold a press conference in five days, and if I'm not mistaken, Director Zhang Da is likely to hold a press conference at the same time. ”
"Tomorrow, I'll announce my new film and contact the editors of the top ten, by the way, I'll arrange an interview with your brother tomorrow."
……
The next day, the entire film and television industry was boiling.
Lin Xiao's first trinity new film has finally been released.
All the magazines, all the TV stations, reported on it. Especially exceptionally, Lin Xiao actually accepted an exclusive interview.
The reporters almost wept with gratitude, God knows how difficult it is for this master to interview, no more than five interviews in three years.
"Mr. Lin, what do you think of the new films of Director Chen Da and Director Zhang Da?"
"Mr. Lin, what is the box office expectation for this new film?"
"Mr. Lin, please tell us more about this film."
Lin Xiao answered them one by one, detailed and patient, but for the box office of the film, he did not predict too highly, but said vaguely that he was confident that it would surpass the previous one.
But when the next day's magazine came out, it was a different story.
"Actor Lin Xiao's first trinity blockbuster 'Painted Skin' was released! Lin Xiao predicted that the box office will not be less than 200 million without thieves in the world! ”
"A challenge for the new generation! Last year, no thief in the world unexpectedly put down the hero. And this year, 'Wang Bo' is arrogant, and the painted skin is better than the world's thieves! ”
Lin Xiao is sure that the box office of the painted skin will be popular, and revealed that the investment is as high as 100 million yuan! The investor is the global giant Time Warner! ”
"Breaking your own record? Paint the skin to challenge the world without thieves! Doesn't it mean that Director Zhang Da is not as good as him? ”
"At the end of the year, there are already three directors, Feng Xiaogang, Zhang Yimou, and Chen Kaige, and now, they are about to enter the era of the Seven Heroes of the Warring States!"
"These random misinterpretations of newspapers." In the dawn, Qin Zhong was so angry that he opened the magazine, "full of nonsense!" This puts you and the three directors on the same testing ground. ”
"The director himself is on a testing ground. It has nothing to do with our wishes, the audience will compare it themselves. Lin Xiao smiled faintly, "China is not big, dare to be like Director Zhang Da, Director Chen Da, there may be a Director Feng Da in the future, like them, they will run up with investment as soon as they open their mouths, I don't know how long it will take." ”
"I don't want to wait, and I don't have to." He looked at the night sky hanging high above the jade rabbit outside the house, as if muttering from the bottom of his heart, "This time, my opponent is not them. ”
"Who is it? Time Warner? ”
"Wrong." Lin Xiao turned his head and looked deeply, "My opponent is a blockbuster from Japan, South Korea, and Singapore!" ”
"This year, I didn't take China as an opponent at all."
These words are loud and clear.
Qin Zhong was stunned, he never imagined that Lin Xiao's heart would be so big.
Once upon a time, his desire was great, but his heart had to be small, starting with a package price of a few thousand. But now, he has the strength to let his wish fly.
"It's a big dream, and it's idealistic." Qin Zhong didn't smile, walked up to him and patted him on the shoulder, "But the ideal is beautiful, but the reality is cruel." I support you, but I don't think well of you. ”
Lin Xiao laughed instead and didn't say anything.
If it weren't for the four-star rating from the system, if it weren't for the system telling him that Asia might make a difference, if it weren't for the fact that he was already familiar with the propaganda model in the future, he wouldn't have thought like this.
A script comparable to the past in the United States is put in front of the director, who can hold back the ambition?
If there was no script, he didn't dare to think about it, and if he didn't have the propaganda experience of later generations, he didn't dare to think about it.
You can't have one without the other!
is the only one who dares to rush out of the country in the first part of the Trinity and enter the kingdom of God of the Korean godfather Zhao Rongbi and the Japanese godfather Akira Kurosawa!
"Whatever you want." Qin Zhong saw that he couldn't be persuaded and sighed, "When will the press conference start?" ”
"There's no need for a press conference. Donnie Yen won't come, Time Warner said that he won't cooperate, will he find guilt for himself? Lin Xiao looked at the night sky where the stars were high and said, "Send a notice to everyone." A week later, all the staff gathered in Hengdian! Let's shoot! ”
