Chapter 188: Painted Skin 2
After playing freely in Paris, France for 3 days, Chen Jing and Yang Mi returned to China.
After returning to China, Yang Mi took some more shots.
In the setting of "Exchange Trip", Yang Mi is a domestic white-collar worker, so she made up some shots of Yang Mi who was busy every day in the company, which can be regarded as a complete completion.
This micro-film written, directed and acted by Yang Mi was also filmed within the planned time of two weeks, and then entered post-production.
However, the day after the completion of "Exchange Trip", Yang Mi flew to Rongcheng with Chen Jing before she had time to stare at the post-production.
On June 15, 2012, the premiere of "Painted Skin 2" was held in Rongcheng.
"It's good that you two are here!" Chen Kun was greatly relieved when he saw Chen Jing and Yang Mi.
Because Zhao Yanzi and Zhou Xun, the two leading actresses, could not appear today.
If Chen Jing and Yang Mi don't come, Chen Kun will have to support this premiere alone.
Even if Fei Xiang, who is the villain, also came to the scene, but only he and Chen Kun, this premiere lineup will undoubtedly look thin.
"It doesn't matter if we come here or not, as long as Brother Kun is here." Chen Jing said with a smile.
Chen Kun shook his head with a smile and patted Chen Jing's arm, "Multiple people, more strength, otherwise I Alexander!" ”
"Brother Kun, you can dominate the whole audience." Yang Mi also said with a smile.
Chen Kun looked at Chen Jing and Yang Mi with a smile and said, "Are you two here to tease me?" Haha......"
Chen Jing and Yang Mi looked at each other and smiled.
Subsequently, Chen Jing and Yang Mi went to meet director Wu Ershan again.
Wu Ershan was also very happy to see the two, with the super popular CPs of Chen Jing and Yang Mi, at least the premiere also had many explosions.
Time continues to pass, and the producers of "Painted Skin 2" Xiao Wang and Zhang Liangying also arrived one after another.
Chen Jing took Yang Mi to greet Xiao Wang.
"Chen Jing, amazing!" Xiao Wang looked at Chen Jing and said with a smile, "They have all directly topped the celebrity list!" ”
"Thanks to the support of Mr. Wang and Huayi." Chen Jing said with a smile.
Xiao Wang smiled when he heard this, "Haha, win-win, win-win!" As a shareholder of Huayi, we will continue to cooperate more in the future. ”
"Of course, isn't it Di Renjie's Divine Dragon King Capital!" Chen Jing nodded.
"In addition to that, we should work more deeply." Xiao Wang said, "However, the current focus is on "Painted Skin 2", and you still have to contribute a lot when promoting it." ”
"As the main actor, I will naturally fully cooperate." Chen Jing nodded.
"Mr. Wang!" Yang Mi greeted.
Xiao Wang nodded, "Mimi, this time the ranking is also soaring!" ”
"Thanks to the king." Yang Mi said with a smile.
Xiao Wang smiled, and then walked away.
Later, Chen Jing went to say hello to Zhang Liangying again, and the two have worked together, so they are relatively familiar.
When the time came to 18:00 in the evening, the premiere of "Painted Skin 2" officially began.
The organizers of this premiere also made a generous move, spending a lot of effort on the stage, lighting, and choreography.
The premiere opened with a performance of the big battle at the end of "Painted Skin 2", which looked lively.
After the performance, Wu Ershan and Xiao Wang took the stage.
Xiao Wang said, "Media friends have worked hard, and then I hope that in so much news, I can give "Painted Skin 2" a little more news, thank you!" ”
"Director Wu, domestic magic movies have not performed well recently, what do you think of the box office future of "Painted Skin 2"?"
In 2008, Chen Jiashang's "Painted Skin" made Chinese audiences feel the charm of domestic magic blockbusters for the first time, and the film achieved a box office of more than 100 million yuan at that time, but its production level was far from reaching the level of real magic films.
Last year, Chen Jiashang filmed another "Painted Wall", trying to create box office success in this way, but he didn't want to be "Waterloo", and another "Legend of the White Snake" with the same theme was also criticized.
The road to magical blockbusters in Huaxia seems to be blocked, and at this time, Wu Ershan took over the baton from Chen Jiashang and filmed this high-level "Painted Skin 2".
"A year ago we were preparing for this film, and a year later, everything we wanted was done, and the promise I made to the actors was fulfilled.
So far, I'm very determined because I have faith. Of course, I'm also a little worried, worried that other movies won't do well at the box office! Wu Ershan said confidently.
Subsequently, the host invited Chen Kun, Chen Jing and Yang Mi.
The heat of the scene suddenly rose a few degrees.
"Chen Kun, why didn't Zhao Yanzi and Zhou Xun as the female lead show up?"
"Don't ask me, I just found out when I arrived." Chen Kun said with a smile.
"I heard that Zhou Xun and Zhao Yanzi were at odds on the set? Is it true? ”
Chen Kun smiled bitterly when he heard this, "Brother, don't ask me!" ”
"If there is "Painted Skin 3", will you still take on it?"
Chen Kun immediately shook his head when he heard this, "No, I'm old, there are people who are more suitable than me, such as this one!" ”
After speaking, Chen Kun patted Chen Jing's back, and Chen Jing could only laugh.
"Everyone knows, Jingmi and his wife, handsome men and beautiful women, are very popular, if there is "Painted Skin 3", their starring role is definitely better." Chen Kun said with a smile.
"Hahaha......"
Everyone present laughed, and Chen Jing and Yang Mi also laughed when they heard this.
"Chen Jing, how does it feel to work with the three leading actors for the first time?"
"They are all very dedicated and very good, and I still have a lot to learn from them." Chen Jing said.
"Yang Mi, how does it feel to cooperate with Chen Jing again?"
"It feels great, we both have a lot of tacit understanding, we work together very smoothly, it feels very cool!" Yang Mi said with a smile.
"Chen Jing, do you have any expectations for the box office of "Painted Skin 2"?"
Chen Jing smiled when she heard this, "I'm looking forward to creating a new box office high for my personal starring movie!" ”
The reporters were shocked when they heard this, Chen Jing's current highest-grossing movie is "The Thirteen Laps of Jinling", with a cumulative box office of 615 million yuan!
is higher than this box office, that is, more than 615 million!
The box office of "Painted Skin" is 223 million.
More than 600 million, that's a triple!
It seems that Chen Jing's confidence in "Painted Skin 2" is more than that of director Wu Ershan!
After asking a few more questions, the interactive session of "Painted Skin 2" ended, and the film officially debuted.
"Painted Skin 2" tells the story of the demon fox Xiao Wei (Zhou Xun) who was frozen in the ice hell for five hundred years because he violated the rules of the demon world by saving people, and he was in pain.
In the face of fate, Xiao Wei who escaped from the ice cave had only two choices: either to be caught back by the ice tongue of the ice hell, or to gain a "dedication" heart to become a real adult.
"The Legend of the Fairy Tree"
Xiao Wei looks for a target everywhere until she meets Princess Jing, who has escaped from marriage and was disfigured by an accident.
Xiao Wei soon discovered that the princess had a different heart, and she pinned all her ideals of becoming a human on the princess.
The princess's appearance in Baicheng surprised Huo Xin (Chen Kun), who was once a childhood sweetheart and extremely guilty.
Faced with the princess, he can't accept the sudden reality that the princess runs away from marriage and prepares to elope with him.
Xiao Wei discovered the delicate psychological state of Princess Jing and Huo Xin, and her plan was born in accordance with it.
She instilled in Princess Jing that a man's love for a woman is nothing but lustful love, implying that the ugliness of the princess's appearance was the reason why Huo Xin did not dare to accept the princess's love, and did not hesitate to use witchcraft to confuse Huo Xin.
When the princess seduces Huo Xin in Xiao Wei's skin and experiences the pleasures of the flesh for the first time, she begins to believe in the power of beauty that Xiao Wei speaks of.
At this time, the Heavenly Wolf Country was approaching step by step with the intention of snatching marriage, Huo Xin tried to resist alone to redeem his love with death, but was rescued by Princess Jing at the critical moment, all of which greatly stimulated Huo Xin.
He understands what love is, to be together in the name of love, even if it is to die together, this is the true meaning of love.
The death trick dramatically changes the two women's attitudes towards life, and the relationship between Yui and the princess changes from seduction and coercion to conspiracy.
Huo Xin was blinded after learning the truth about the two of them changing hearts and skins, and tried to exchange his heart for the princess's heart.
The princess's determination to die for love, Huo Xin's courage to fight for her sincerity, and Xiao Wei's efforts to change her fate finally produced a miracle at the moment of the solar eclipse.
The storyline of "Painted Skin" is relatively complete, using an old story to allude to the social hotspots at that time, the rampant of the junior, the helplessness of the original partner, and the degradation of social morality, which resonated with many female audiences and generated a lot of emotion in their hearts.
And "Painted Skin 2" continues this line, "face or heart" also alludes to love and even value choices in a rapidly developing society.
To use a more fashionable phrase, the story and theme of "Painted Skin 2" are "down-to-earth" enough.
In many cases, superficial portrayal of characters and expression of dead and alive love is an effective theatrical device.
"Painted Skin 2" is like this, Huo Xin's atonement, Princess Jing's inferiority complex, and fox fairy Xiaowei's viciousness are all expressed very simply and directly.
In addition, the same-sex love between Xiao Wei and Princess Jing is also vaguely expressed in the film.
This is a "surprising" episode, because such a plot setting increases the depth of the character's personality and the layering of human nature - or "demonic nature".
Coupled with the fact that "Painted Skin 2" is far more outstanding than the first one, it makes this story even more bizarre and shocking.
Therefore, after the premiere, most of the media gave it a high rating.
At the same time, "Painted Skin 2" then released a trailer, which is undoubtedly the essence of the whole movie, so it once again attracted many fans.
In addition, "Painted Skin" Zhuyu has cultivated a group of loyal fans, so the industry is still more optimistic about the box office of "Painted Skin 2".
At the same time, "Painted Skin 2" is scheduled for June 28, and the movies released in the same week are 4 non-joyful and bear-infested domestic animated films, which are not a big threat.
As for the four films "Charm", "Very Kidnapper", "Youth Fight" and "Arbat", the box office expectations are not high.
It can be said that "Painted Skin 2" is very likely to be a monopoly with the backing of "Painted Skin", and the investment, lineup, and special effects are strong.
Wu Ershan and Chen Jing's self-confidence is not unreasonable.
However, "Painted Skin 2" was officially released nationwide on the 28th, so after the premiere, Chen Jing and Yang Mi began their promotional journey of the film.
In addition to appearing on variety shows and media conferences, the crew of "Painted Skin 2" also participated in the Magic City International Film Festival and appeared as the opening film.
Zhou Xun specially made a handmade commemorative album, which is her filming routine with Zhao Yanzi and Chen Kun, in the photo, Zhou Xun and Zhao Yanzi are intimate, and strive to break the rumors of discord between the two.
Chen Jing and Yang Mi just smiled when they saw this, the crew is sometimes really closed, and it is strictly forbidden to spread some things, and in order to be able to mix in this circle, everyone does not dare to talk nonsense.
Otherwise, it is likely to be boycotted by the whole circle, and no one will use you anymore, so what you show can only be the media's chasing after the wind.
At the same time, Zhou Xun and Zhao Yanzi also explained the reasons for not attending the premiere, one is to go to Brazil to attend the United Nations Environment Conference, because Zhou Xun is an environmental goodwill ambassador.
Zhao Yanzi was busy returning to the imperial capital to participate in the thesis defense.
Anyway, the reason is given, believe it or not!
Only, Chen Kun, Chen Jing, Yang Mi and Fei Xiang are working hard to promote the film.
"It's going to be released soon, what do you think the box office performance of "Painted Skin 2" will be?" Yang Mi looked at Chen Jing and asked.
Chen Jing smiled, "Didn't I say it!" ”
"Do you really think that "Painted Skin 2" can surpass the box office of "Jinling Thirteen Gates"?" Yang Mi asked.
The box office of "The Thirteen Laps of Jinling" is 615 million yuan, and it is currently the third place in the box office list of domestic films, and the champions and runners-up are 664 million for "Let the Bullets Fly" and 647 million for "Tangshan Earthquake" respectively!
This is also the only three domestic films with a box office of more than 600 million.
If "Painted Skin 2" can surpass "Jinling Thirteen", then at least it will be the third place in the box office of domestic films!
If it is a little higher, it is likely to set a domestic movie box office record!
And the highest box office record for the movie starring Yang Mi at this time is still 371 million in "33 Days of Broken Love"!
"Of course!" Chen Jing nodded and smiled, "But it's just like that, the two of us are not the same starring!" ”
"Is it good to be the leading actor for the second time!" Yang Mi rolled her eyes when she heard this, and Chen Jing said, "Your heart is really big!" ”
"Of course, I'm looking forward to the box office of "To Youth"!" Chen Jing said with a smile.
Yang Mi also laughed when she heard this, after all, "To Youth" is the starring role of Jingmi and his wife, and Chen Jing also participated in the investment.
Both hope that "To Youth" will be a box office hit!
And if "To Youth" is a box office hit again, then Yang Mi will be completely convinced of Chen Jing's vision, and she will listen to Chen Jing in the future!
"By the way, I'll tell you something!" Yang Mi said.
"What's the matter?" Chen Jing asked.
"Didn't I mention before that there were a few projects approaching me, and one of them I found very interesting." Yang Mi looked at Chen Jing and smiled.
"Oh? How do you want to do it? Chen Jing asked with a smile.
Yang Mi directly kicked Chen Jing when she heard this, "It's an adaptation of a movie of the same name, but the author of this one is the director of this movie, which makes me a little worried, this crossover is a bit big." ”
Chen Jing raised her eyebrows after hearing this, "What?" ”
"Little Times!" Yang Mi replied.
