Chapter 29: Premiere Celebration
"Cheng Long's new movie "Hurricane Rescue" landed in Cannes shockingly, and foreign filmmakers arrogantly offered $25 million to buy out overseas copyrights, but Cheng Long refused domineeringly!"
"The overseas copyright of "Hurricane Rescue" sold at a sky-high price, and Cheng Long said that he had absolute confidence in the film and chose the box office sharing model domineeringly."
"The movie has already earned 160 million for the producer before it is released? Cheng Long seems to have greater ambitions: Huaxia films are not synonymous with selling out copyrights all at once. ”
"The overseas copyright price of the new film is stronger than the movie "Hero" directed by Zhang Yimou, and Brother Cheng Long seems to have walked out of the box office haze since "Around the World in 80 Days" and "New Police Story".
"Cheng Long's new work is shocking, and the movie "Hurricane Rescue" is officially set for June 24."
"'Wang Yuyan' Liu Yifei talks about "Hurricane Rescue": Brother Cheng Long is very strict with filming, and I didn't sleep all night when I knew that I was going to cooperate with Brother Cheng Long to make a movie."
"Hype? Authentic? Cheng Long really rejected the sky-high copyright fee of $25 million from foreign filmmakers? ”
"The first trailer of "Hurricane Rescue" was officially released, Liu Yifei was tragically kidnapped, Cheng Long and the kidnappers were shocked by the dialogue in the air, which perfectly interpreted father's love, the fight scenes were clean and neat, and Cheng Long was trying to try a new style."
After Cheng Long and his entourage flew back to China from Cannes, the publicity scale of "Hurricane Rescue" immediately increased by a level.
Subway stations, bus stations, airports, shopping malls, and large cinemas are full of "Hurricane Rescue" posters, in addition, television, the Internet, print media, etc. have started a round of all-round information bombardment.
At the beginning of June, led by Cheng Long himself, the creators of "Hurricane Rescue" successively went to Beijing, Magic City, Yangcheng, Goose City, South Korea, Singapore and other places to promote the movie.
Li Mu is not the main selling point of the movie, and he is really busy, so he did not participate in this series of publicity activities.
On June 21, the movie "Hurricane Rescue" had a grand premiere at the Beijing Workers' Gymnasium, and this time Li Mu couldn't help but participate.
It is confirmed that the premiere will also be attended by Director Yan Yiyun of West Film, Vice President Sun Yi'an, editor Liu Xiaowu, Yinghuang Yang Zhicheng, participating actors Cheng Long, Liu Yifei, Song Jia, Liu Xiaoli, Cai Zhuoyan and others, as well as a number of friends in the circle of several leading actors and creators will also come to help.
At about 4 o'clock in the afternoon of the 21st, Li Mu and Liu Xiaowu came to the Workers' Gymnasium together, and the two entered the backstage under the leadership of the staff.
"Li Mu, Liu Clip."
"Director Li."
"Director Li."
"Screenwriter Lee."
Seeing Li Mu and the two coming in, several people in the background greeted Li Mu one after another, Liu Yifei's name was called Li Mu, Liu Xiaoli and Song Ji called Li Mu Director Li, and Cai Zhuoyan called Li Mu the screenwriter Li.
Cai Zhuoyan finished early, so she didn't have a deep feeling about Li Mu's status in the crew, in her impression, Li Mu was actually a screenwriter who was a little active and loved to perform.
Song Qi was the first to come up to chat with Li Mu, and after she graduated from the play, she also played some roles scatteredly, but her acting career never improved.
She is very ambitious, and she feels that she may not have any great development if she continues to stay in the magic capital, so she decided to come to the capital to break through, at this time she has already talked about a boyfriend, and the boyfriend wants to stay in the magic capital, so the two broke up.
At this time, Song Qi has not signed a contract with an acting company, she belongs to the state of running a single gang, and naturally has no resources, if history does not change, she will follow Wang Jinghua to join Orange Sky Entertainment next year.
Recently, Cheng Long's domineering refusal of $25 million from foreign film companies has caused a lot of uproar, and Li Mu, as the screenwriter of "Hurricane Rescue", has naturally become a sweet spot in the eyes of many people.
"Director Li, long time no see."
"Long time no see."
"If Director Li suddenly said that I would play a person who was on the verge of dying, then this role would definitely have nothing to do with me, or I would have invited Director Li to have a meal after the premiere, Director Li You gave me such a big opportunity, I haven't expressed it properly."
"No, you're really suitable for this role, I'm just doing it."
"It's easy for you, it's a great opportunity for me, Director Li, you must give me a chance, otherwise I always feel like something is missing in my heart."
"Let's talk about it later, your acting skills are okay, hone it well, you won't be wrong in the future, I will look for you if there is a suitable role in the future."
"Thank you Director Li, thank you Director Li, Director Li, you must be a talker, I don't believe Director Li, but after the release of "Hurricane Rescue", I am afraid that many people will grab your new drama by then."
"Not ...... yet"
After the two chatted for a while, Song Qi got up and went to the bathroom, and at this time, Liu Yifei quietly touched Li Mu's back.
"Director Li, I haven't seen 'you' for a few months, but it's really fragrant." I also deliberately bit the word 'you' very hard.
Li Mu turned around: "What's the matter, you eat...... Have you eaten yet? ”
When he turned around, he saw Liu Xiaoli not far away, and Li Mu swallowed the word "vinegar" that had reached his lips raw.
"I didn't eat, or I'll invite Director Li to have a meal after the premiere?"
It's what Song Ji just said, and after speaking, Liu Yifei still seemed to be snickering very interestingly.
"Okay, which hotel? You say, I'll take note of it. Li Mu said and made a gesture to find a pen and paper.
"You ......" Liu Yifei couldn't cry or laugh, who in a normal person couldn't see that she was ridiculing him? He really climbed up when he saw the pole.
"What am I, just kidding, I look at you so scared that I can't eat you for a few dollars."
"It's not about money."
"That's a human thing?"
"By the way, "Hurricane Rescue" advertised that we ran to more than a dozen cities, why didn't you participate? And you didn't come to the Cannes Film Festival. Liu Yifei changed the subject.
Li Mu said: "I'll just appear for a few minutes, I can't even count as a role, at most it's a trick, it's pointless to participate in publicity or not, it's better to save time and do something truly meaningful." ”
Liu Yifei snorted: "I haven't been in the movie for a few minutes, and I'm not following the promotion the whole time, these are all excuses you said." ”
"I said eldest sister, you are the heroine! The main storyline! Cheng Long fought to save you! ”
"Propaganda you don't follow whom? You're a big selling point of this movie! How do I compare to you? Maybe you will be completely popular after this movie, Zhang Ziyi will be completely popular after filming Li Amine and Zhou Yanfa's "Crouching Tiger, Hidden Dragon", I think you are similar, after "Hurricane Rescue", you are the next Zhang Ziyi in the Chinese film industry...... Xiao Zhang Ziyi, with such a big benefit, if you don't run publicity, who will run publicity. ”
Hearing this, Liu Yifei snorted heavily, and said: "Whoever loves the next Zhang Ziyi will be it, anyway, I'm not rare, I'm Liu Yifei, not the next one, let alone the little one." Besides, in my eyes, Xiao Gongli, Xiao Zhang Ziyi, and Xiao Zhang Manyu are not very good names, others have to think about who this person is when they hear it, maybe they can't remember it, how can Liu Yifei have a good name? When others heard the name Liu Yifei, they knew it was me. ”
