Chapter 553: Popular Variety Show
Zhang Ziyi's operation has become a joke in the circle and on the Internet, which is ridiculing and complaining.
Last September, at the premiere of the movie "Dangerous Liaisons", she opened up about her boyfriend Xiao Sa.
At that time, it really caused a sensation in the entertainment industry, and it also received the blessings of the whole network, after all, the man is a recognized talent.
This move of making the relationship public also brought huge traffic to the movie, as well as high topics and heat.
Although the box office loss of the movie in the end hit the street, it did not affect Zhang Ziyi's harvest of fame and fortune at all.
After a year, the movie "Very Lucky", which also starred her, is going to hold its premiere.
The same operation, she did again.
It's just that the boyfriend who came to the platform at the premiere this time was replaced by Wang Feng, known as the "big talent" in the music industry.
Unlike last year's blessings, this year there were boos and laughter on the Internet, and there was a lot of disdain in the circle.
Because not long before the media reporter exposed the relationship between the two.
One is still hyping Xiaosa, and the other has just ended his second marriage, which can be said to be a perfect connection.
After Yue Jun came back from the premiere of "Very Lucky", the complaining has not stopped.
"Zhang Ziyi plays chick movies, I always feel weird, her face is inappropriate, giving people a stiff feeling."
I heard that the original director and production team did not match her concept, so she was fired by the producer and replaced by the Hollywood team.
As a result, Fan Bingbing accepted the original director and his team and filmed "One Night Surprise", and the box office reputation was a bumper harvest! ”
"To be honest, Zhang Ziyi's vision of film selection is really too far worse than Fan Bingbing and Li Bingbing!"
"Bona has invested more than 100 million, and it is estimated that Yu Dong will lose ...... again this time."
Lin Nan sat there and listened to Yue Jun's comments, and he was indeed a little touched, the once unrivaled "International Chapter" has also begun to act in chick movies.
When he was in the limelight, Zhang Ziyi clearly expressed his ideas and ambitions to surpass Gong Li.
Looking at it now, Gong Li is still cooperating with big directors and top lineups, and foreign language films have not been interrupted.
But what about the "international chapter" itself? The answer is: it's been going downhill.
"It can't be compared. Fan Bingbing and Li Bingbing are now capital, with their own companies, teams, artists and connections, which can create resources and be self-sufficient. ”
And Zhang Ziyi, who thought very highly of himself before, not only missed the opportunity but also couldn't see the reality clearly.
The opportunities for promotion in the future will only become less and less, and it will become more and more difficult, and in the end, it may be possible to gnaw on the old book, hehe......"
Lin Nan also joked with a smile.
When Internet companies come in, it will be several times or even more than ten times more difficult for celebrities and artists to upgrade their capital.
…………
"All the People Witness" has been released, with a box office result of 42.4 million in the first weekend and 3 days, leading the domestic film in September.
The release of films such as "Very Lucky" and "A City" will follow.
But what the audience is looking forward to the most is "Shendu Dragon King" at the end of the month, which is also the only big director's work this month.
Lin Nan took the time to improve the outline of the script that he had done before, and paid attention to the news in the circle from time to time.
Feng Xiaogang posted three Weibo posts in a row on Weibo, thanking the Film Bureau and industry peers for their support.
"I didn't win "Search" last year, but I didn't expect to have a chance this year?"
The Film Bureau has officially confirmed and announced the films that will be selected for the Oscars this year and compete for the Best Foreign Language Film award.
Namely: Feng Xiaogang's "1942"!
Countless actors and artists in the industry are vying to leave messages of congratulations and sycophants under Feng Xiaogang's Weibo.
I remember that Feng Xiaogang always said: "You don't have to care too much about the film awards outside, just do a good job of Chinese film awards......
But at this moment, I can't see Feng Dadao's point of view at all, and he is very leisurely on Weibo, replying to the messages of insiders one by one, all with smiling faces.
Many netizens are still ridiculing:
"Director Feng has finally become a mother-in-law with a bitter daughter-in-law, and she is going to Oscar to play, haha......"
"Maybe, at the Oscars at the beginning of next year, Director Feng and Director Lin Nan will be able to meet?"
"If that's the case, it's a historic moment."
In the face of netizens' jokes, Feng Xiaogang rarely liked them one by one, and publicly expressed his attitude:
"I believe that "1942" can create surprises at the Golden Globe and the Oscars......"
Lin Nan put down the script in his hand and politely gave a thumbs up, after all, this is a good movie, as for the result, it has nothing to do with him.
…………
The golden rooster in the mainland, seeing that it is about to open in a few days, has a lot of news.
The invitation letter of the guests from Jinma was also mailed to Lin Nan Pictures from Taiwan Province.
When he received the assistant's call, Lin Nan was waiting for someone outside the airport.
"I see, reply an email to the organizer for me, and I'll be there."
"Okay, Director Lin."
After hanging up the phone, Lin Nan sat in the car and continued to look at the exit direction through the window.
Twenty minutes later, he saw Liu Xiaoli's figure, pulling a suitcase alone.
Lin Nan got out of the car and greeted him, which really attracted the attention of many reporters in less than a minute.
"Is it Director Lin?"
……
"You can send someone to pick me up, you don't have to come yourself." Liu Xiaoli said with a chuckle.
"I just have time, Auntie, give me the box."
Lin Nan took the suitcase from Liu Xiaoli's hand, took a half lead by half a body, and walked towards the parking place.
Several reporters wanted to surround them, but Lin Nan waved his hand and refused, and Liu Xiaoli also smiled at them and nodded.
Having worked as a "life assistant" for her daughter for many years, Liu Xiaoli knows what kind of attitude to maintain towards the media.
Lin Nan has always had a good relationship with media reporters, and it will be effective now.
After they understood what Lin Nan meant, they consciously stopped and waved their hands.
"Sissi has been in the crew for half a month, I don't know where the filming progress is? Every time this girl called, she was in a hurry for a few minutes, and she didn't explain clearly......"
Liu Xiaoli sat in the car and complained about her daughter.
Lin Nan didn't know how to answer this, because Liu Yifei obviously left more call time to him.
"Auntie, I'll go to visit the class in two days, and I'll know when the time comes, but I think it's not slow to shoot.
This kind of sci-fi movie, in terms of the shooting part alone, is much faster than those feature films, and it is the special effects and post-production that are time-consuming. ”
"Well, that's good. When you go over, if you are not busy, you can spend two more days with her......"
……
Lin Nan was a little embarrassed by the reports of media reporters for the first time.
"Director Lin Nan, at the airport this morning, I picked up my mother-in-law."
"Liu Xiaoli is super black and covers her face, and her temperament is not weak, and her daughter ......"
……
"Wang Dong, is it so early? Isn't it just released for the Chinese New Year? ”
After Lin Nan sent Liu Xiaoli back, he was just about to return to the company when he received a call from Wang Changtian.
"The Four Famous Catches 2", which was only released in early December, suddenly decided to start promoting it two months in advance.
"You also know that this is the first time we have been in a 3D martial arts movie, and Chen Jiashang and the company feel that it is safer to start promoting it earlier."
Guangguang called Zhao Liying's agent, and the reply was a refusal.
This was also ordered by the company before, so that Zhao Liying could wait to join the group with peace of mind and push away all notices. Besides, the publicity time set by the light before is not now.
As a last resort, Wang Changtian could only call Lin Nan's side and borrow someone.
"Ning Hao's "Heart Flower Road" will be launched in the next few days, and the time is too conflicting." Lin Nan's meaning is self-evident.
"That's it, don't delay much, just let her record a two-day show with the crew and participate in a few popular variety shows.
She doesn't have to follow the other itineraries, and Deng Chao is over there, maybe she will join the group at the end of the month or the beginning of next month, and the next publicity will be after they are both finished......"
Wang Changtian persuaded hard for more than ten minutes, and Lin Nan finally agreed.
"Let's speak first, once Ning Hao calls someone here, I don't care what the situation is on the publicity side, she has to come back immediately."
"Okay, no problem."
"Then contact Yue Jun, he will inform Zhao Liying's agent."
didn't talk much with Wang Changtian, so Lin Nan hung up the phone.
As he drove down the road, he always felt that he had an idea in his head, but he forgot it for a moment.
Until Lin Nan inadvertently saw the big screen in the shopping plaza.
Above is a promotional video of the top three of "Fast Man", and the picture of Hai Qing kneeling down to a contestant named Ou Hao.
At this time, he remembered the flash of inspiration in his mind just now.
"Lao Wang, it seems that you just said 'popular variety show'?"
"Yes, it's a popular variety show!"
Lin Nan decisively dialed Yue Jun, "! ”
I only heard a familiar voice on the other end of the phone: "Please don't hang up, the phone you dialed is on the call......"
You don't have to guess to know that Wang Changtian is talking to Yue Jun on the phone.
Two minutes later, Yue Jun called back, "Director Lin? Just now, Wang Dong said that you agreed to let Zhao Liying go with the crew to run for two days of publicity? ”
"That's right, I agreed, but if Ning Hao turns on the camera here, he will rush back immediately."
"And your phone?"
"There's one thing, you took the time to take someone on a trip to South Korea in the past two days......"
…………
Zhang Ziyi's "Very Lucky" cut 10.5 million at the box office on the first day.
To be honest, in the chick movie, this is a relatively good opening result, but Zhang Ziyi has received a lot of bad reviews.
The Internet is saying that her acting skills are visibly declining with the naked eye, and the "chick" she plays gives people a sense of pretentiousness, which is extremely unnatural.
Whether this word-of-mouth will affect the subsequent box office trend depends on how the audience and fans choose.
But the most surprising thing in the industry is "A City".
You must know that Han Han and Guo Jingming, like Guo Jingming, are both best-selling authors, and the two are often compared, and both have a large number of fans.
Given that the two "Small Times 1" and "Small Times 2" combined, they created a high box office of 750 million.
Therefore, the industry and the producer also have high expectations for Han Han's film "A City" adapted from the same name, with a box office expectation of 500 million!
But who knows that the higher the expectations, the greater the disappointment!
"Adapted by the young bestselling author Han Han of the same name, the movie "A City" received 1.2 million at the box office on the first day, which is far from the industry's expectations!"
"The number of films scheduled for "A City" may be greatly reduced, and it may even face the possibility of painting."
"Guo Jingming's fans, sneering ......"
…………
"Director Lin, the ticket has been booked, and you need to transfer planes halfway."
"Got it."
Lin Nan looked at the news and answered without raising his head.
The Golden Rooster has opened, but this red carpet seems to be a little too classless.
Most of the top domestic directors were absent, and only those nominated went with the crew.
