Chapter 583: Fishing
Liu Yifei has watched "Funeral Coffin" before, and this movie is as Zhang Yuanjun said, "the surprise of the year".
She also knew that her husband was fishing with a book, and the script of "The Invisible Guest" had been in the study at home for two or three years, Liu Yifei had read it very early, and at that time Liu Yifei wanted to change the book to the heroine, she wanted to play the evil girl, but Zhang Yuanjun didn't agree, and said to her: "You want to occupy any good film." ”
At that time, Liu Yifei was filming "Pacific Rim" and "Super Body" in a row, but she couldn't turn around too busy, so she didn't take this film to heart.
After knowing that Zhang Yuanjun used "The Invisible Guest" to fish for Xin Yukun, she herself was very surprised, but she knew how much effort Zhang Yuanjun spent writing this book, she thought that Zhang Yuanjun would give this book to a veteran who specializes in crime films like Cao Baoping, or a director like Ning Hao who is familiar with multi-line narratives.
But I didn't expect Zhang Yuanjun to be willing to hand over such a precious book to a rookie director.
It seems that Zhang Yuanjun really admires Xin Yukun.
After Liu Yifei knew that her husband used "The Invisible Guest" to fish Xin Yukun, she had no doubt that Xin Yukun would take the bait.
Except for those directors who don't take on foreign scenes, "The Invisible Guest" is a script that a rookie director can't refuse.
No, Xin Yukun didn't take the bait, and the leading demand for zero pay to direct.
Zhang Yuanjun smiled: "Don't be so excited. Let me tell you about "Funeral Coffin" first, I met with the owners of several film companies and the person in charge of distribution, and the conversation was not very good, and they all said that you can't make money in theaters. ”
Xin Yukun heard this I don't know how many times and nodded.
Zhang Yuanjun continued: "But everyone says that you are a good film, but when it is released, people always have their own considerations, take your time." ”
Xin Yukun nodded again and said yes, he knows that there are many constraints in doing crime themes in China, and he is not in a hurry for a while, he will be content if "Funeral Coffin" can be released within two years.
Xin Yukun is not in a hurry, Zhang Yuanjun is even less anxious, "Funeral Coffin" is a good film, but commercially speaking, it is really not profitable, Zhang Yuanjun has no intention of making money from this film, he really can't bear to watch such a good film be buried for too long.
Xin Yukun mentioned "The Invisible Guest" again: "This book is really good, I ...... it." ”
Liu Yifei was an assistant wingman on the side, and teased: "At that time, the head of the writing was about to be scratched." ”
"I ......" Xin Yukun wanted to say something, but as soon as the words reached his mouth, he was interrupted by a knock on the door.
The door of the lounge rang twice, and then a crack opened, and a person leaned into half of his body, it was Huang Xiaoming: "Said you didn't leave, you were hiding here." ”
Seeing that the couple were talking to someone, Huang Xiaoming said politely: "Are you talking?" ”
Zhang Yuanjun walked over and pulled Huang Xiaoming in: "It's okay, chat." Yang Ying, who followed behind him, also came in.
"Who is this?" Huang Xiaoming saw Xin Yukun's face.
"Director Xin Yukun."
"Oh, you're the director of "The Coffin." Huang Xiaoming actually knew.
"Yes." Xin Yukun laughed dryly, although "Funeral Coffin" was not released, it did win him a certain reputation in the circle.
Huang Xiaoming said: "I didn't go to FIRST this year, but I heard from a friend who came back that your film was very good." ”
"Thank you." Xin Yukun thanked him, and praised the good shooting, but no one paid for help, and who wouldn't be able to move his mouth.
"Shall you have a drink later?" Huang Xiaoming invited.
"Still drinking?" Zhang Yuanjun said with a smile.
"Late supper." Huang Xiaoming said with a smile, "It's almost cold, eat another meal of crayfish." ”
Zhang Yuanjun said: "I'm not going, I'll get up early tomorrow to film." ”
Huang Xiaoming looked at Liu Yifei again, Liu Yifei looked at her husband with a smile, and Zhang Yuanjun smiled: "People invite you, what do you think I do." It's as if I'm usually very strict with you. ”
As soon as Zhang Yuanjun said, everyone in the room laughed.
Liu Yifei said to Xiao Ming: "You guys eat, I'll go back and go to bed early, I'm too tired to make this celebration banquet." ”
"What have you been filming lately?" Zhang Yuanjun asked him.
"A Sino-American co-production, "Rampage Hollywood."
Zhang Yuanjun has been in China and the United States all the year round, and has heard this film: "Lin Yibin's one? ”
This film is Lin Yibin's signboard.
"Hmm. I had a bit of a role in China, and I went to the United States after filming. Now that the co-production is very popular, Huang Xiaoming feels very fortunate to catch this train.
But the strange thing is that Zhang Yuanjun and his wife have never touched a co-production film, and it stands to reason that they have opened up a bit of a situation in Hollywood, and there should be a co-production script to find talent.
Zhang Yuanjun admitted that there was indeed a co-production script to find: "But I always felt bad when I looked at it, so I didn't accept it." ”
After chatting for a few more words, Huang Xiaoming took Yang Ying to say goodbye.
Huang Xiaoming's insertion made Xin Yukun not want to mention "The Invisible Guest" again, and Zhang Yuanjun hurried back again, and it was inconvenient to talk more.
In fact, Zhang Yuanjun is optimistic about Xin Yukun, but he is still not very assured.
As Huang Shilang said, he has the courage, but what about the ability? Why does Zhang Yuanjun believe that Xin Yukun can shoot "The Invisible Guest" well?
In Zhang Yuanjun's eyes, the crew of "Funeral Coffin" is not even a grass stage team, why does Zhang Yuanjun believe that Xin Yukun can run a crew of several hundred people well?
So he gave Xin Yukun two months: "Come up with a team building plan and the director's storyboard, you can't say that if you want to shoot, I'll let you shoot." ”
Xin Yukun runs venture capital all year round, making plans, writing PPTs, and speaking at presentations, these are all basic skills: "No problem, I will definitely come up with a plan when the time comes." Xin Yukun also knows that it is not easy to get the opportunity to direct.
The three broke up. Liu Yifei teased her husband: "It's really a bit like a boss." Learn Zhang Yuanjun's tone, "Give you two months to come up with a group building plan and a director's storyboard." ”
"It's quite stylish."
Zhang Yuanjun smiled: "It's okay." ”
That evening and the next morning, there were many news reports about the celebration on the Internet.
What he said was nothing more than how grand this celebration banquet was and how high the identity of the guests who came.
However, in the praise of congratulating Liu Yifei after winning the film, there are also many unpleasant voices.
What Zhang Yuanjun was worried about finally happened.
After Liu Yifei won the Saint Sei, the momentum created in China was too big, as Liu Yifei said, I don't know that I thought she won the Oscar.
In short, the gold content of the Saint Sei actress is not worthy of such a big propaganda battle.
Some netizens have obvious resistance and disgust towards Liu Yifei's recent publicity.
"Don't you bother, take a broken prize and search for a week!"
"Weibo, your house is open!"
So this is where the trouble of being an artist is promoted, and it is difficult to do it just right, but Liu Yifei's team was quick with their hands and feet, and they pressed the news down the afternoon of the next day.
In fact, it's time for this propaganda to end, the award has been won, and the celebration banquet has ended, there is no need to stay on the hot search, Liu Yifei still has to work. (End of chapter)
