After the Oscars, Zhang Yuanjun wanted to stay in the United States to prepare for the promotion of "Neverending".

"Never-ending" is scheduled to premiere in New York on March 8, and will be released worldwide on the 18th of US time.

Zhang Yuanjun and Liu Yifei came to the headquarters of New Line Pictures the next day to watch the finished film in advance.

"Never-Ending" has four main investors, Zhang Yuanjun's Z Studio, Nolan's Cimpic, Leonardo's Appian Way and Lionsgate.

Except for Lionsgate, the other three investors do not have the ability to distribute, because "Neverending" hired Emma Thomas as a producer, so the film distribution was handed over to Warner, Warner couldn't look at this kind of small cost of 20 million US dollars, so it handed over "Neverend" to its New Line Pictures, which specializes in small-budget and independent films.

After watching the movie, Liu Yifei didn't seem to get the cool point of "Endless", she only felt that this movie was very ordinary, and even a little dull.

Liu Yifei's feeling is right.

"Neverending" is limited by cost and cannot carry out action scenes, so it can only arrange the protagonist to kill all sides in the financial market.

If the film changes direction, adds a few more gunfight scenes to the protagonist, plus two car chase and blasting scenes, and adds some cool special effects, the scene will be more exciting, it should look a lot better.

New Line's assessment of "Never-ending" is "passing" and "some earning", nothing more.

After all, the total investment of the film is only more than 20 million US dollars, and if it is released around the world, Warner will sell the disc again, and the money will be earned.

Liu Yifei accompanied Zhang Yuanjun to record two small programs - the funds for the promotion and distribution of small-cost films were not enough to go to the big programs, and then he returned to China alone.

Before getting on the plane, Zhang Yuanjun said: "Yang Mi will still look for you, you think about how to tell Yang Mi." ”

"I know." Liu Yifei is not stupid, "When are you coming back?" ”

"At the end of the month, no matter what, it's going to be done a week after the release." Zhang Yuanjun mainly runs in North America, and he does not have a global market, and the publicity and distribution funds are not enough to support him to go global.

The two kissed goodbye, and Liu Yifei returned to China.

Glossy now faces a choice.

Choose Yang Mi or Tang Yan, or someone else.

Yang Mi, who became popular at the beginning of the year, was full of topics, and no one was more popular than her.

In terms of topicality, Guang Xian likes her to play ruthlessly.

Tang Yan's popularity is a little worse than Yang Mi, but she has Liu Yifei's recommendation.

Liu Yifei has made a lot of money for Guangxian, and her opinion, Wang Changtian also has to take into account.

The news couldn't be hidden, Yang Mi soon knew that Tang Yan was also fighting for the role of ruthlessness, and she had gone through Liu Yifei's relationship one step earlier.

Guang Xian is still considering ruthless candidates.

After Liu Yifei returned to China, she was asked out by Yang Mi that night to "catch the wind".

The two sat down in a Western restaurant, Liu Yifei asked for a steak and thick soup, and Yang Mi only ordered a vegetable and fruit salad.

Yang Mi smiled: "You still dare to eat this?" I don't even dare to eat meat at night. ”

Liu Yifei didn't care: "I won't join the group in the next few months, so I can eat more." ”

"I really envy you," Yang Mi said, "I can have such a long vacation, I can't forget what it's like to sleep in." ”

"Hehe," Liu Yifei smiled, "Actually, I'm just lazy, I still envy you for filming so many scenes." ”

Liu Yifei has two plays a year at most, and Yang Mi will have at least 10 TV dramas and movies this year.

Yang Mi was not disturbed by the drama at all, but was very proud that she could shoot so many scenes, but she was still polite to Liu Yifei: "What's the use of me filming more, 10 films in China can't match your "Inception". ”

This touting Liu Yifei is very useful, "Inception" has indeed opened up a big situation for her at home and abroad, otherwise "Pacific Rim" would not have found herself.

Liu Yifei laughed at herself: "I also wanted to say that I would take on a few more dramas last year, but I didn't want to move after filming "Time and Space Traveler". ”

"How many plays did you do last year?"

"There are only two films, "Time and Space Love Traveler" was filmed in May, and "Dragon Gate Flying Armor" was joined in October." For the whole of last year, Liu Yifei worked for a little more than five months.

Yang Mi didn't dare to think how anxious she would be if she didn't enter the group for more than a month, but Liu Yifei actually dared to enter the group at an interval of four or five months.

"What about this year?"

"There are also two this year, both in the second half of the year." Liu Yifei answered truthfully, she didn't want to ask Yang Mi what drama she had this year, because she had a hunch that Yang Mi would talk about "The Four Famous Catches", and she didn't want to talk about this drama, "A commercial film, a literary film." ”

"It's the one called "She", right?" "Her" has been approved by the General Administration Bureau and has obtained a filming permit.

"Hmm." Seeing that Yang Mi wanted to ask about the commercial film, Liu Yifei smiled, "The other film is still in the confidentiality period, and the filmmaker won't let me say it." ”

Yang Mi took the initiative to say her schedule: "I just finished "Northern Love", and I will join the group for a movie next month. ”

Yang Mi allowed herself to rest for half a month at most.

Liu Yifei saw that she couldn't hide, so she said: ""Palace" is so popular, you must be very busy in the future." ”

said that Yang Mi was not sleepy: "Busy with it, take advantage of the popularity now, and shoot a few more dramas." ”

She didn't mind saying this in front of Liu Yifei at all.

Liu Yifei said meaningfully: "Can't be busy with too many scenes, right?" ”

Yang Mi knew that she was ordering herself, in fact, this kind of thing is very common in the circle, and it is common that actors who do not roll drama are outliers, but it is also a bad phenomenon to go to the edge of the world, and the surface work still has to be done, so Yang Mi threw the pot to the company: "The company arranged it, I can't help it, sometimes I want to have a good rest, but the agent keeps stuffing me with films." ”

There is bitterness and helplessness in the tone.

Liu Yifei has no experience of being stuffed by an agent, she hasn't even signed a serious brokerage company, the grass stage team of the Red Star House used to pay her social security, and now she has social security in the theater, and the Red Star House is completely useless.

Liu Yifei followed Yang Mi's words and said: "It's good to shoot a few more dramas." ”

The two chatted while eating, in the main creator of Fairy Sword, Yang Mi knew that Liu Shishi could not be in front of Liu Yifei, and Liu Yifei had a general relationship with Brother Hu, so she could only say Tang Yan: "Do you know what Tang Yan has been busy with recently?" ”

"I don't know." Liu Yifei pretended to be stupid, "She finished filming "Impeccable", I haven't heard of any new dramas, I guess I'm resting." ”

Yang Mi had a plan in her heart and said: "I heard that Tangtang has been talking about the glamorous "Four Famous Catches" recently, do you know? ”

"I don't know," Liu Yifei didn't answer Yang Mi's words at all, "I have been busy with "Time and Space Love Traveler" during the Chinese New Year, and I didn't pay attention to these news. ”

Yang Mi generously gave Liu Yifei an idea: "You have such a good relationship with Guangxian, you help Tangtangbei, help her pull a line, and hand over two sentences." ”

Liu Yifei said with a smile: "We are actors, how can we talk to other people's bosses, and people may not listen to us if we say it." ”

Yang Mi was observing Liu Yifei's reaction, and then smiled: "You two are not ordinary actors.

Liu Yifei frowned, Yang Mi felt that Liu Yifei should not like others to say this about the two of them.

Yang Mi immediately changed the topic, and then talked about ruthlessness: "The role of ruthlessness is very good, I want to try it." ”

"Go. The role hasn't been decided yet. Liu Yifei said.

"Forget it, Tang Yan is talking about me." Yang Mi generously conceded the role.

It can be seen from Liu Yifei's performance of Yang Mi tonight that she doesn't want to talk more about "The Four Famous Catches".

So she didn't plan to spend any effort on Liu Yifei.

Liu Yifei ate half a steak and couldn't eat it after a few mouthfuls of soup, so the two broke up and went back to their respective homes.
