Chapter 513: Fishing in Troubled Waters
Black fans think that the current street impact of "Pacific Rim" in North America will deal a fatal blow to Liu Yifei's career, and they are waiting for the movie to be released in China at the end of the month and watch jokes together.
In fact, they are not wrong about one thing, there is really no cultivation of fans of mecha monster films in China. This can also be seen in the direction of the limited publicity resources of "Pacific Rim", whether it is Warner, Legend or director Toro himself, they all see Japan as the most important market for films outside of North America - Japan really eats this kind of film.
As for Liu Yifei's career being hit, they think too much.
Sometimes don't look at what a person says, but look at what he does.
"Pacific Rim" was given a cold reception in the North American market, but Liu Yifei is still the object of invitation from domestic producers.
The number of films handed to her has continued unabated, and there are still many more than other actresses.
There are even two crews that Liu Yifei explicitly refused and wanted to take advantage of the fire to rob, and took advantage of the unsatisfactory results of "Pacific Rim" to invite Liu Yifei "in the snow".
One is the crew of "Dew and Red Face" that Liu Yifei rejected at the beginning of last year, and this film took Liu Yifei as the most important invitation to the heroine Xing Lu at the beginning of preparation, but Liu Yifei didn't look down on this kind of bloody love story between Cinderella and Prince Charming, especially the character of "descendants of declining nobles" for Xing Lu, how can there be aristocrats in China.
The book was handed over, and she refused after reading it.
After "Pacific Rim" hit the streets in North America, the crew of "Dew and Red" felt that they were good again, and vowed to talk about Liu Yifei's schedule.
Director Gao Xixi is a big director in the TV circle, don't look at him, he almost doesn't make movies, but as a "film newcomer", there are still a large number of actors who want to be on "Dew and Red" - there are too few movies with big heroines.
Tang Ren painted cakes for Liu Shishi and said that he would talk to her about the role of Xinglu, but Cai Yinong and Li Guoli still couldn't reach Gao Xixi.
Even if Cai Yinong has a little spare money in his hand, he is reluctant to smash Gao Xixi for "Dew and Red Face".
Liu Shishi is a fire, but "Fuji Detective" has not yet been released, and her performance of playing a second female in it can't get into Gao Xixi's eyes.
To put it bluntly, everyone is very popular, why doesn't Gao Xixi use the hottest Liu Yifei?
It doesn't matter if Liu Yifei refuses once, the actors are all knocked down, run a few times and talk a few more times, there will always be a turnaround.
The other crew is "The Last War", which is a Sino-US co-production starring Nicolas Cage, which Ouyang Baoping gave to Liu Yifei before.
The crew of "The Last War" also has the same opinion as "Dew and Red Face", Liu Yifei just pounced on a movie, and happened to fish in troubled waters.
But the two groups of people have visited the crew of "Hypnosis Master" several times, and Liu Yifei just didn't let go, the reason was that the essential oil had no schedule, and "Miss Bai" would be filmed at the end of the year, and next year's schedule was also scheduled.
Ouyang Baoping even said that he didn't mind her playing, but Liu Yifei still didn't agree.
The crew of "Dew and Red Face" said that they were talking about Asian superstar Rain playing the leading role: "It's almost over, this will be the first drama Rain will shoot after completing his military service, and we are very good for publicity." ”
But Rain's joining still couldn't impress Liu Yifei.
Because whether to say it or not, Rain at this time, he is out of breath.
His main battlefield is in the music scene, but in the Korean entertainment that is full of life and death, Rain just has an empty coffee seat and no popularity, when it comes to Rain, everyone knows that he is powerful, he is a senior, but his time has really passed, otherwise he would not come to China to make money.
In the film industry, Rain is not even as big as the young lady herself.
Putting these aside, I really took over "Dew and Red Face", when the time comes to be in the crew, one speaks Chinese, the other speaks Korean, how inconvenient, Liu Yifei is not short of filming now, why bother to find this sin.
Liu Yifei is very good at rejecting others, so she still didn't answer.
"Will you blame me?" On this day, after the play, Liu Yifei asked while packing up her husband's clothes and letting him take a bath.
"What do I blame you?" Zhang Yuanjun said.
"Gao Xixi is looking for you under the banner of a fellow villager in Jiangxi Province, but I still haven't taken his play."
Zhang Yuanjun smiled: "If you have to rely on this kind of hometown friendship to take the play, it just means that this drama is not worth taking." "It has to be the film itself, not something else that moves the actors.
Zhang Yuanjun smiled again: "Besides, he is from Hongdu, and we usually have little contact, so we can only be regarded as half a fellow countryman." ”
There are many people from Jiangxi Province in the entertainment industry, Deng Chao, Liu Tao, Chen Hong, Yu Entai, Luo Jin, Huang Lei and others, all of whom are doing well. Needless to say, Luo Jin had a close relationship with Zhang Yuanjun, and there were only five or six people such as Deng Chao and Yu Entai.
"We have a group of fellow villagers in Jiangxi Province, and every time we say we get together, we can't get together every time." Zhang Yuanjun said.
Liu Yifei discovered very early on that Zhang Yuanjun valued his family rather than his homeland, and had a good relationship with his relatives and friends, and he was mostly too lazy to pay attention to the so-called hometown relationship with him.
She is the same, although she is from Jiangcheng, she has left Jiangcheng since she was a child, and she really has no homeland complex for Jiangcheng.
…………
The news that the two dramas "Dew and Red Face" and "The Last War" did not knock Liu Yifei spread in the circle.
Other actresses moved when they heard the news, and they can't say that they are picking up what others don't want, resources, either yours or mine, there is nothing that can't be picked up.
85 generation of actresses, Liu Yifei and below are the most popular among Yang Mi and Tang Yan, Yang Mi took a fancy to the Sino-US co-production "The Last War" at first sight.
Now that the co-production is popular, she also wants to participate.
Yang Mi's schedule is very empty now, and there is only one "Breakup Master" that has just been negotiated in the movie, which will start in October, and the TV series will have no more films in her hands except for "The Legend of the Ancient Sword" that is being filmed.
A workaholic like her doesn't allow herself to be so idle.
Therefore, Yang Mi's team is very active in contacting the crew of "The Last War".
And the crew of "The Last War" also had to reconsider the choice of the heroine, and after losing Liu Yifei, the requirement of "having a certain international reputation" in their casting conditions could no longer be mentioned, because the rest of the young actresses did not have it.
And the start time of "The Last War" is in September, and if Liu Yifei can't be set, someone else must be set as soon as possible, otherwise it won't be able to start in time.
There is no doubt about Yang Mi's popularity in China, and the box office of "Little Times" is also very good.
If the reputation is not word-of-mouth, the management does not look at these, they just see whether the actor can bring the box office.
Therefore, the crew is really thinking about Yang Mi.
Yang Mi hid the news that she was going to shoot "The Breakup Master" in October from the crew, and she was sure to promise the crew that she could accept the action training before the start-up.
Yang Mi is in action, and other actresses are also eyeing her.
Two plays, two heroines, and one is a co-production heroine, which is very tempting.
"The Last War" will be pushed faster because it is about to start, and there are more compromises, such as allowing the heroine to use Chinese dialogue, without speaking English; The original 1 month of equestrian training was shortened to 15 days, and so on.
But "Dew and Red Face" is different, the film is not in a hurry to start, the filmmaker still wants an actress who has good conditions in all aspects and can match the Asian superstar Rain, so they drag it out. (End of chapter)
