Chapter 176: An Unexpected Visitor (5/5)
theater, immediately rehearsing the most critical scene, Lee met his ex-wife...
A conversation, the past that I don't want to remember strikes again.
The ex-wife wanted to persuade him to let go...
But there are many things in life, not that you can let go of them!
Xiao Lizi tried his best to suppress his emotions, and Shen Mengxi shouted: "This is the most important scene in the audience, I don't want you to burst out all your emotions now..."
"Just rehearse casually, match the lines, and then take out the emotions when the filming really starts!"
“... Is that okay?"
Shen Mengxi shrugged: "Of course, this kind of scene hurts the actor a lot, just do it once!"
Xiao Lizi was very convinced of Shen Mengxi, since he said so, then follow it.
Ten minutes later, when this scene ended, Xiao Lizi hugged Kate, and then walked over and asked Shen Mengxi: "Why do you have to arrange this scene?"
“... There are only 5,000 people in this town, and it is impossible for Li to stay, even if it is not his ex-wife, there will be other people!"
Shen Mengxi replied calmly...
"I feel like Lee has tried to let go. ”
It's just that in the shackles of time, those scorching affection and pain are sealed, and Li has been escaping, fleeing to his own little corner, rejecting the world, in fact, this is just an addiction to forgetting and escaping itself. ”
"As soon as you open a gap, everything comes flooding in again. ”
"What he can't bear, no one can bear!"
"He can only leave!"
Xiao Lizi listened carefully to Shen Mengxi talking about "Manchester by the Sea", and her expression became more and more calm...
"Okay, test shoot tomorrow or test shoot at night?"
"Tomorrow, my face isn't swollen enough!"
"Okay..."
Shen Mengxi turned around and was about to discuss the composition with Emmanuel Lubezki, when he suddenly heard a burst of laughter, and quickly looked at it, it was Liu Yifei and Kate...
Tut, if you take a photo and send it to the media, the title is "Liu Yifei and Fei Wen Talk and Laugh", it is estimated that it can cause many people to say something.
Shen Mengxi was a little impressed by Lao Liu's execution, she really checked the information last night until almost three o'clock in the morning...
Why do you remember so clearly, because at three o'clock, he was licked and woke up ...
......
In China, at the recording site of "A Date with Lu Yu", Wu Ershan, the director of the crew of "Painted Skin", and all four leading actors arrived.
Lu Yu asked: "Why did you choose you to be the director?"
"The producer talked to me for an afternoon, and then it was decided, and he said that he wanted to create a new oriental magic theme... And I am very consistent with his thoughts, for large-scale commercial films, the director is only a technical worker, and he is responsible for integrating resources, so he thinks I can do it, so I will take it!"
"The starting point is a big production of more than 100 million, are you nervous?"
Wu Ershan frowned slightly, but still said: "... It's okay, our preliminary preparation took eight months, and every detail of the shooting has been planned in advance, and the official shooting is not very stressful..."
"What was the most difficult?"
"Special effects, because our audience is growing, they have watched so many visual effects, so many wonderful magic movies, science fiction movies, superhero movies, their needs for movie special effects and their understanding of the magic genre have improved a lot. Although our cost is not up to the level of Hollywood, we have to try to get close, especially in a magical movie like "Painted Skin", which everyone is looking forward to seeing, the special effects must be good, and the audience must feel satisfied. ”
"What about you? I heard that the first thing I was looking for was Zhou Xun?"
The topic changed to a weekly message, she said: "Yes, I have already refused at the beginning, and I haven't even read the book, because I took over a movie that played a fox spirit before, so I subconsciously refused!"
"Then how did you say yes?"
"The producer took the director and the special effects director, and asked me to meet again, I read the script, I liked it very much, and the concept sketch, it was Amano Yoshitaka who was responsible for the creation, I like it so much!"
"Is the script good?"
Chen Kun and Buffett Zhao nodded: "The script is very good!"
"Indeed, the very mainstream commercial writing model, with a magical shell, explores love!"
"Have you talked about the box office?"
Lu Dayan looked at Chen Kun, and the two shook their heads: "No, we are just actors..."
Zhou Xun suddenly said: "Producer Shen called me two days ago, and he said that if the box office is less than 200 million, he will pay me three movies, and I am looking forward to it!"
"He has so much confidence in Painted Skin?"
"Well, I'm curious, where do you say he got his confidence?"
......
Where does faith come from?
Of course, it is the grasp of the schedule, and the opponent's inadequacy!
The timing of "Painted Skin" is so good!
First of all, the Olympics are over, and there is a two-month blockbuster gap, "Painted Skin" is a blockbuster, right?
Secondly, the publisher of "Keep Talking" got in his brain, and "Painted Skin" was transferred to September 25, and it didn't change with it, and it lost the lead, which was equivalent to being suppressed at the beginning;
Finally, when suddenly it is the effect of the topic of hype!
On September 20th, the theme song "Painting Heart" was released, this song does not need to be said, Zhang Liangying's popularity is also very high, and suddenly there was another wave of rhythm.
By the way, the Japanese benzene side also released "儚さ" sung by Mai Kuraki - the two countries were released at the same time...
South Korea, Xijie also gave face, and prepared 500 studios to open a picture - "Red Cliff (I)" is only 660, but "Red Cliff (I)" was unlucky and ran into "Batman: The Dark Knight"...
"Ip Man" is the same in South Korea, when he encountered the raging "Batman", he wanted to die...
"Painted Skin" has no decent opponents!
On September 25th, "Painted Skin" was released nationwide, winning 19 million box office on the first day, 18 million the next day, September 27th, Saturday, another 23 million, September 28th, Sunday, 82 million, 29th, 21 million...
It was released for five days and had a box office of over 100 million.
In South Korea, it won 600,000 moviegoers in five days of release, and in terms of Japanese benzene, the box office accumulated 360 million yen in five days.
This achievement is already very impressive, and at least the copyright fees of the two copyright owners have been repaid...
Back home.
"Painted Skin" not only hit the box office, but even the word-of-mouth has more than 7 points, and most of the netizens have commented on it:
"This horse is love!"
"This casting is so suitable!"
"The picture is good-looking, the actors are good-looking, the acting skills are outstanding, and the story touches me, this is a good movie!"
"Isn't there anyone praising the action design? I feel like the director must have watched a lot of Japanese comics!"
Chen Liming was so excited, all kinds of pretenses, no longer the image of the rich second generation who was 'about to go bankrupt' at the beginning, and picked out other interviews with "Southern Weekly"...
"When we made "Painted Skin", we wanted to tell everyone what is the most correct way to open something like a blockbuster, first of all, you have to have a good story!"
"Nowadays, many producers are shouting to learn from Hollywood, and they are often spending hundreds of millions of dollars on big productions, and they are all Hollywood stars, what's the use?
"While paying attention to the visual and auditory effects of film scenes, art, computer stunts, etc., we should work more on the basic elements of the film. For example, the storyline, the dialogue of the characters, the choice of actors, etc.!"
"There is no better fit for "Painted Skin" than Zhou Xun, Zhao Wei, and Chen Kun!"
"The script of "Painted Skin 2" has been released, and we will invite the trio to co-star..."
Well, it's been almost two years, let him blow it!
"Painted Skin 2", Mengxi Studio will definitely not take him to play...
By the way, Mengxi Studio announced the launch of the "Painted Skin" TV series in a timely manner, and said that it was to complete the world structure of "Painted Skin"...
NetEase's game of the same name "Painted Skin", in the first five days, attracted more than 3 million people to register...
Of course, how much can be left depends on the game itself.
When Shen Mengxi received the news, he was on his way to the filming location, and Zhao Jinsong was content to ask him if it was possible to solve the North American distribution problem.
Shen Mengxi shook his head: "I feel like the Yankees are not interested in oriental magic..."
"I don't know why, I'm not an American!"
"Eh, if we replace Xiao Wei with a vampire, maybe it will be reliable!"
"People don't know about vixens... Hey... I've got something, hang up first!"
Shen Mengxi hung up the phone and walked towards Liu Yifei, there were several people in front of her, who were Chinese...
"Who are you looking for?"
"Is it Director Shen Mengxi? I'm the person in charge of the starry sky, my name is..."
