Chapter 522: Walking Cakes
Warm and cold is what many insiders say about Liu Yifei after getting along.
Liu Yifei has always been a person who is easy to approach, but extremely difficult to get close to.
She is very polite and friendly to everyone, but it is difficult for ordinary people to make friends with her.
She is on the set, work is work, and she rarely adds a WeChat message to the opponent actor to facilitate contact, and her relationship with you will be over after the work is over.
Many people say that this is "the alienation of a superstar", Liu Yifei has it, Leonardo has it, and Zhang Yuanjun also has it.
They're obviously polite, but you just feel like there's a distance between you and them.
Zhang Yuanjun also often said that his wife is a little cold in her nature.
Guang Xian tried to take "Pieces of a Woman" for a cake, Liu Yifei knew the reason, but she didn't seem to have any guilt for other actors in her heart, nor did she blame herself.
Now it's called walking cakes, it used to be called hype, it is a very common means of publicity in the circle, when "The Condor Heroes" selected Yang Guo and Xiaolongnu, how many actors did they walk!
It's an old trick, but it really works.
One of the prerequisites for walking cakes is that your cakes are really big and really attractive!
Therefore, the first step of glamorous is to bind Liu Yifei to make the cake of "Pieces of Women" bigger, Liu Yifei is here, it must be a good show.
Liu Yifei alone is not enough, Li Xiaoping, vice president of Guangxian, responded at an event: "Actually, this film should not have been announced so early, it was a mistake by our company's programmers to put the poster in advance." In fact, this is a very normal literary film, and we, as producers, are still looking for a suitable director for the film. β
"Is there a suitable candidate?"
Li Xiaoping said with a smile: "The most suitable candidate in our minds is director Zhang Yimou. β
I don't know if she's joking, but the headlines in the entertainment section are there.
"The glamorous new film plans to invite Zhang Yimou, Liu Yifei may be able to fulfill her wish"
Liu Yifei has expressed her love and respect for Director Zhang in public more than once.
"Fragments of a Woman" is a literary film, and if a literary film wants to fry a big cake, it has to tie up big actors and big directors.
Liu Yifei must be silent about this kind of hype, Director Zhang's "Return" has just started, and she has no time to respond to this kind of news.
Besides, which sentence of Li Xiaoping was wrong?
What she said was that Guang Xian felt that Zhang Yimou was the most suitable, but she didn't say that she would invite Zhang Yimou to shoot, and the proposed invitation was said by the media!
After bringing the top actors and top directors, Guang Xian still felt that the cake of "Pieces of Women" was not big enough, and began to gild the cake.
Recently, Wang Changtian, chairman of Guangxian, met with the Asian head of MK2, the world's largest theatrical theater chain, in Beijing. After the incident, the person in charge of Guangxian revealed that the two sides were negotiating on a new film. According to the reporter's prediction, the film of the anti-dumping cooperation should be the "Fragments of Women" that fans have been hotly discussing recently. MK2 is the world's largest art film theater chain, and maintains a very friendly relationship with various art film festivals around the world, especially the three major European film festivals. MK2's most important partners in China are director Jia Zhangke and actor Zhang Yuanjun, many of their films are either directly funded by MK2, or MK2 undertakes overseas distribution and copyright operations. It can be said that MK2 is the most important promoter of art films in the world. β
""Pieces of a Woman" has not been filmed first, and it is booked for Cannes!"
"Recently, the former president of the Venice Film Festival, Mark MΓΌller, said in an interview that he was willing to invite the crew of "Pieces of a Woman" to the Rome Film Festival in advance.
"'Pieces of a Woman' has been favored by international filmmakers, and the booking fee has been relentless."
Anyway, it's just a sentence, as much as possible, put gold on "Pieces of a Woman", actors, directors, and awards, all pull up.
Guang Xian also pays attention to the rhythm of walking cakes, and Liu Yifei will not be alone.
Two days later, Li Xiaoping said again: "Liu Yifei is too young, the heroine of the movie is a middle-aged woman, and we prefer to find a powerful actress in her thirties and forties." β
After the previous rounds of marketing, the popularity of "Pieces of a Woman" has been brought up, and as soon as Li Xiaoping said this, the eyes of the circle focused on the Sidan Shuangbing that met the most requirements.
Doesn't this trick sound familiar?
At the beginning, Zhang Dabeard "brushed off" Liu Yifei also said that she was too young.
Except for Fan, the other people in Sidan Shuangbing did not have much traffic, so Guang Xian looked at the traffic flowers.
said that "Pieces of a Woman" still lacks many actors, and Yang Mi is very good.
Yang Mi is now playing the Chinese princess Lian in the crew of "The Last War", and she didn't answer for a while.
But Yang Mi's fans responded on their behalf. Yang Mi's fans are very domineering, two words, don't act!
"After a three-no movie, Liu Yifei touches Yang Mi."
"Let's really invite Zhang Yimou to talk about it!"
"Don't touch it, Yang Mi's film appointments for the next two years are full, and there is no time to take on literary films."
But "Pieces of a Woman" has attracted attention, which is what Glossy wants.
Liu Yifei didn't care about this, and she couldn't ask, she was too busy.
But no matter how busy she was, on the 22nd, she still came to Qingdao and gave Wanda a platform.
In the name of the richest man, Mr. Wang invested 30 billion yuan to build the Oriental Film Metropolis, and today is the groundbreaking ceremony. "Hypnosis Master" and "Looking for the Dragon" are both produced by Wanda, and Liu Yifei should come to shout and shout.
The ceremony scene was star-studded, and it was not lost compared to an ordinary film festival.
On the foreign side, Leonardo came, Nicole Kidman came, and Kate Beckinsale came.
There are also current Oscar Academy President Cheryl Boone Isaac, former President Hawk Cook, CEO Dorne Hudson, Sony, Universal, Lionsgate, Weinstein and other film companies have sent executives at least vice president level to attend today's ceremony.
There are a lot of stars in China.
Liu Yifei knew that Leonardo was taking money to walk the red carpet, the car stopped at the end of the red carpet, and after walking the red carpet, he got in the car and went to the airport to leave.
Liu Yifei didn't take the money, but she also wanted to do it, and the crew of "Miss Bai" had a lot of things waiting for her.
On the red carpet in the evening, Zeng Maojun personally invited her and asked her to come to Qingdao half a day in advance to participate in the event.
In the afternoon of the same day, there was a forum activity, and the name was very direct "Celebrity Gold Absorption Cheats", which was dedicated to discussing the brokerage and remuneration of celebrities.
Liu Yifei, as the hottest actor in China and the most successful actor in China, of course wants to share her views on stage.
She has to face the executives of the four major brokerage companies in North America, as well as the two CEOs of Guang Xian and Huayi in China, as well as three other actors.
When talking about the question of "whether the actor's high value is responsible for the box office", Zhang Ziyi, who was on the same stage, said that there are many factors that affect the box office, and the box office responsibility should not be thrown to the actor so singlely.
But Liu Yifei clearly believes that actors need to be responsible for the box office:
ββ¦β¦ Because of how much money you take and how much work you do," Fei Yanfei went online, "The crew gives you a high salary, which includes your responsibility for the box office." If it's not for the box office, why would I spend so much money on you? Of course, what Ziyi said just now also makes sense, there are many factors that affect the box office, but the audience is watching your actors, so if the box office is high, the actors will benefit, and if the box office is low, the actors will also be responsible. β
When talking about Hollywood's criteria for selecting Chinese actors, the four major brokerage companies certainly said good things and said that everyone was treated equally.
But Liu Yifei and Zhang Ziyi glanced at each other, and they both saw disdain in each other's eyes. (End of chapter)
