Chapter 358: The Second Play

Zhang Yuanjun is a very professional actor, facing the reporter's camera, he worked hard to do the preliminary publicity for "Dragon Gate Flying Armor".

"Director Xu is very strict and has a very high control over the details."

"Watching Li Lianlian's filming scene at the scene, people beat it beautifully. The director told me to keep up with his rhythm, it was so difficult for me that I wanted to return the money and leave. ”

"The conditions in the desert are tough, and I try to overcome them."

Of course, Liu Yifei will be asked.

"Some time ago, the reporter photographed you and Yifei going home to attend the wedding together," Zhang Yuanjun had already begun to laugh at this point, "Are you going home to see your parents?" ”

"I've wanted to ask for a long time." Zhang Yuanjun didn't answer first, "It's been more than half a month since the news was posted. ”

The reporter smiled: "We still want to hear your answer in person." ”

Zhang Yuanjun nodded and gave the reporter's long-awaited answer: "I have already met my parents." ”

The reporter laughed: "Then our colleagues in the office are going to be sad." What is your parents' impression of Yifei? ”

"My parents love Yifei."

"Is the wedding on the agenda?"

"Not so soon," this is the first time Zhang Yuanjun talked about the wedding of the two, "Yifei and I still have some work behind, I want to finish some of the work at hand, and leave a relatively ample time to do this, we don't want to get married today and appear at the event tomorrow." ”

Zhang Yuanjun's words amused the reporter, and the reporter confirmed again: "You mean that if you want to do it, you will set aside a long period of time before and after, including weddings and honeymoon vacations, right?" ”

"Of course." Zhang Yuanjun confirmed.

"Where are you going on your honeymoon?"

"Not so soon." Zhang Yuanjun smiled, "Do you want to ask me when I will have a child next?" ”

The reporter smiled and stopped: "Okay, thank you Yuanjun for accepting our interview today." ”

"Thank you." Zhang Yuanjun nodded in acknowledgment.

Hit the board, end.

Just when Zhang Yuanjun was in the capital to pay off his own activities and interviews, plus revise the script, it was dark.

A plane from Los Angeles landed in the magic capital, and a group of foreigners rested overnight in the magic capital, and then flew to Phoenix City, where the crew of "Dragon Gate Flying Armor" was located, the next morning.

Liu Yifei, who was filming in the crew, received a call as early as the day after Zhang Yuanjun left the crew.

The caller was her acquaintance, Joe Jahini, creative director of Legendary Pictures, and the two met on the crew of "Inception".

Qiao told Liu Yifei that Legendary Pictures was going to make a movie and wanted to invite her to audition for the heroine.

But Liu Yifei said at the time that she was filming in the crew now, and there was no way to rush to the United States, hoping that he could wait for him for a few months, and when she was finished, she would fly to the United States to meet as soon as possible.

But Joe Giahini did not want to wait, saying that he and the casting director would bring someone to China to meet her.

"It's a business trip to China, and I haven't seen Zhang in a long time."

Joe Giahini failed to meet Zhang Yuanjun in Phoenix.

Zhang Yuanjun didn't know that he had come to China.

Because it is an acquaintance, and it is an invitation from the filmmaker, it is not a film contract that the agent won for Liu Yifei, so it is not a bad rule for Joe Giahini to talk to Liu Yifei directly.

Therefore, being Liu Yifei's agent is only superficial, but he can't actually earn any dividends, most of Liu Yifei's plays are actively approached, and his boyfriend is well-connected, and most of the film appointments that the agent strives for are not as good as those made by Zhang Yuanjun.

But fortunately, many of Liu Yifei's activities in fashion and business were negotiated by her agent for her, and Zhang Yuanjun was particularly willing to spend money on Liu Yifei in terms of image management and public relations, so Liu Yifei's agent could also make a lot of money in addition to the drama contract.

Otherwise, it would be really hard to be an agent for Liu Yifei, and there would be no money to be made.

The two sides made an appointment to meet at the hotel where Joe Giahini and others were staying.

Coincidentally, Liu Yifei didn't go out to the night play that day, and after finishing work during the day, she took her agent and assistant to the hotel and Legendary Pictures to have dinner.

"It's strange, Yifei usually stays in the hotel after work and doesn't go out, why are you going out today?" This aroused the curiosity of colleagues in the crew.

Liu Yifei and his entourage came to the hotel, met Joe Giahini and casting director Margery Simkin and others, and then went to the restaurant to make an appointment.

As soon as the two sides met, Joe praised the performance of "Inception" in China: "It's incredible, the box office of nearly 90 million US dollars, second only to North America, no one thought that "Inception" could win so much box office in China before." ”

Legendary Pictures is also an investor in Inception.

"But it's a pity that the box office was bought out by Zhang." Both Warner and Legend are dying of anger at this.

Liu Yifei said with a smile: "I often say that if he is not an actor, he will definitely be a very good investor." ”

"Of course, his company is well-known in Hollywood." This is nonsense, Z Studio is currently a "Buried Alive", it is still a movie from 4 years ago, "Neverending" is next year, and "The Hunger Games" is still in preparation.

"We really didn't expect you and Zhang to drive so much box office in China." Warner and Legendary Pictures began to think that "Inception" still depends on Leonardo to sell tickets in China, but when they saw the Chinese poster, they found that Liu Yifei and Zhang Yuanjun's names were the largest, and Leonardo's name was not good in China, "Zhang must be your Chinese Leon." ”

Liu Yifei smiled: "I don't want him to be as attentive as Leon." ”

"Hahaha."

From here, you can also roughly see why Legend took the initiative to invite Liu Yifei - she is so easy to use in the Chinese market.

If it weren't for the fact that the global market needs a white face, the legend would even want to replace the male protagonist with Zhang Yuanjun.

Joe said of the legendary new film: "We have a production deal with Warner, and this film is co-produced by our two companies, but this time we are in charge.

"Because we're doing the best monster movie at Legendary Pictures."

Liu Yifei smiled and listened patiently, but in fact, she was already retreating in her heart.

Most of the female characters in monster movies are vases that die when they show their faces, which is not interesting.

It's no wonder that Liu Yifei thinks so, let alone the heroine, even the male protagonist in monster movies is not important.

Do Godzilla fans go to see the hero and heroine?

Did King Kong fans go to see Oscar winner Adrien Brody?

Just listen to Joe continue: "But we plan to do something different this time, adding mecha elements on the basis of monsters. ”

Speaking of this, Joe laughed: "Our boss Thomas is a big fan of monster movies, and director Toro is a fan of mechas, and the two of them got together to have this movie." ”

After talking about the movie, Qiao introduced her role to Liu Yifei: "Crystal, I won't give you a coquettish female character who shows her face and dies, relying on big breasts and big ass to show off coquettishness, after all, we hope that you can bring us profits in the Chinese market." "It's very straightforward.

But sometimes this kind of directness may not be a kind of respect, and Liu Yifei only settled down after hearing this.

"You will be the actor's most effective assistant and combat partner, you ......" Qiao told Liu Yifei about her role.

Liu Yifei asked curiously: "Why is the emotional drama so weak?" ”

"Come on, Crystal, monster movie audiences don't like to see the hero and heroine fall in love, they just want to fast-forward to the monster appearance." Joe explained.

"OK, Joe, this character doesn't look bad, I'll consider it." It's rare to say yes to the role at the first meeting.

Of course, when it comes to marketing in the future, it will still be written, "When Joe Giahini showed the character to Liu Yifei, Liu Yifei agreed to Joe's invitation on the spot." ”

"I hope you can get me back soon."

"Will you stay here for a long time?"

"No, we'll fly to the magic capital tomorrow afternoon, and we'll be in China for a week."

"Okay, I'll get back to you in a week, and I wish you all a nice time in China." (End of chapter)
