Light and shadow player

Chapter 117
The fourth quarter was relatively cold. Except for the Lunar New Year holiday, the only blockbuster movie in the first two and a half months of this quarter was "Harry Potter and the Goblet of Fire", which was released on November 11.

But because of Cheng Yu'an, there will be "Despicable Street" in October and "Crazy" in November, and the cinema will not be too shabby.

The box office of "Despicable Street" on the first day was not satisfactory, with a nod of 100 million.

The acceptance of gangster movies by mainland audiences is not very high.

You can watch pirated discs, but you can't buy tickets.

Cheng Yu'an took money to do things, and Long-distance didn't account for the majority of the investment. In "Despicable Street", he didn't plan to spend a lot of effort.

"Despicable Street" went to the end of October and the beginning of November, and the screenings in first-tier cities basically ended. It received 10 million yuan, and began to sink to second- and third-tier cities.

"Old Thousand" also happened to be screened in Hong Kong Island, and the results were mediocre, only 2100 million, and 1200 million in the three Southeast Asian countries.

But "Old Thousand" was a bit of a hit in the mainland, and it even rushed to 300 million on the first day!
Cheng Yu'an is preparing for the review of "Clues of Time and Space", as well as the start-up work of "Crazy Stone" and "Sunflower".

Didn't pay much attention to "Old Thousand".

When Cheng Lingfeng called Cheng Yu'an, she sighed: "Brother Hu is so popular! The reporters at the premiere scene couldn't get in, they were all his fans!"

How popular is Brother Hu after "Legend of Sword and Fairy"?
It can't compare to the empty alleys of "My Fair Princess", but Hu Ge's turning out has indeed made thousands of girls find a "perfect idol" template.

"After all, he is the first brother of the company, so of course he has to have the ostentation he deserves." Cheng Yu'an smiled, but did not forget to tell Cheng Lingfeng, "Don't let him drive, and the assistants and drivers assigned to him must be strictly screened. "

Cheng Yu'an is still worried about the tragedy.

"Don't worry, I personally selected his assistant and driver, and he is absolutely trustworthy."

There are many people who are popular, and Hu Ge's fire will of course be accompanied by a lot of troubles.

As far as Cheng Yu'an knew, no less than 10 companies wanted to recruit him, and the terms offered were more attractive than the other.

But fortunately, Brother Hu can make it clear that he is Yuanyuan's only artist, and the company's films, including Cheng Yu'an's films, will give priority to him.

At present, there are only a few directors who can sell box office in China, and Cheng Yu'an is the youngest among them.

It’s good to enjoy the shade under the big tree, and you may earn a little more money if you switch to another company, but who can give Brother Hu a 2000 million-selling "Crazy Girl" in the first movie?
The 22-year-old best director in Venice, do you go elsewhere to find one?

People are not stupid!
There is Cheng Lingfeng staring at "Old Thousand", and Cheng Yu'an doesn't need to worry about it for the time being, "Sunflower" also started successfully two days ago.

Now it's Crazy Stone that's in trouble.

The actor who was originally scheduled to be International Thief Mike was unable to come!
The boot is imminent, and the actor can't be found for a while!

Ning Hao and his party were so worried that they smoked in the hotel.

"Why don't you come?" Screenwriter Yue Xiaojun said to Cheng Yu'an.

"Me? I can't!" Cheng Yu'an waved his hands quickly.

The words of the teacher Hou Keming are still in my ears: "Throw a bone, and the dog is smarter than you!"

"Yes." Ning Hao threw the cigarette away, "You are so handsome, it's a pity that you don't act. Let's try it for a while, if it's okay, if it doesn't work, we'll change."

Cheng Yu'an couldn't find anyone right now, so he could only grit his teeth and agree: "Okay, I don't guarantee how good the performance will be. If it doesn't work, just tell me quickly, and I'll find someone for you."

He also wanted to see how his acting skills would be three years after graduation.

"Okay, let's get ready. Just shoot the scene where Mike plays. Wang Xun, you and Yu An."

"No problem." Wang Xun said OK.

After 10 minutes, everyone was ready and ready to audition.

Wang Xun lit his cigarette in front of the mirror, and nodded to show that he was well.

Cheng Yu'an also gave a thumbs up to show that he was in place.

Ning Hao sat aside: "3 2 1, start!"

Wang Xun took a puff of cigarette in front of the mirror, and said with a smile, "Master, you're well hidden, tailor."

Cheng Yu'an cut off Wang Xun's cigarette butt and caught it with a wine glass.

"It's costume design."

Mike, an international thief, is a bit of a motherfucker, and Cheng Yu'an imitated his example and made a little gesture.

Wang Xun clamped his beard in the mirror: "Say it clearly, How much."

"One hundred thousand dollars." Cheng Yu'an supported the table.

"Do you want to book a room?" Wang Xun began to organize the briefcase in his hand.

"One car is enough." Cheng Yu'an's tone was cold and his eyes were confident.

At least he thought so.

"Crack!" Ning Hao shouted at the side.

Yue Xiaojun, who was sitting next to Ning Hao, tried to hold back.

Cheng Yu'an said: "Laugh if you want to. I can't help it."

Hearing this, Yue Xiaojun finally couldn't help but burst out laughing, and said:
"I never thought that your acting skills are like this. Your total box office has exceeded 2 million, and you have also won the best director in Venice. If you say that you don't know how to play, no one will believe it. How can you act like this yourself. "

"It's natural to be short of this muscle." Cheng Yu'an couldn't help it, "Well, you shoot first, and after Mike's scene is overwhelmed, I will find a way to find someone for you."

"That's the only way." Ning Hao didn't know how many cigarettes he had smoked, "Then let's go to Chongqing tomorrow."

"Okay, you guys go first, I'll find actors for you in the capital, and I'll let you know as soon as I find them."

…………

Putting aside the "Crazy Stone" in advance, Cheng Yu'an came to the headquarters with a nervous mood.

"Clues of Time and Space" has been submitted for review, and I went here to listen to opinions.

The review committee members had already finished reading "Clues of Time and Space" two days ago, and they reached a consensus in their discussions.

The review committee has more than 30 members in total, and it is not necessary for all of them to be present when reviewing the film, as long as the majority of them are present.

Everyone gathered in the conference room, and Cheng Yu'an sat obediently and listened to their opinions.

Hou Keming smiled and said, "You also have moments of nervousness?"

"Don't laugh at me. The cost is more than 4000 million. If this fails the review, let alone Lingfeng, Director Han will take my skin off." Cheng Yu'an winked at Hou Keming.

Hou Keming smiled: "Don't look at me, to avoid suspicion, neither you nor Mr. Zheng participated in the review of "Clues to Time and Space"."

Everyone in the circle knows that Cheng Yu'an is Hou Keming's favorite student, so this time, during the review of "Clues of Time and Space", Cheng Yu'an's two teachers at Beijing Film Academy, Hou Keming and Zheng Dongtian, took the initiative to avoid suspicion.

Zheng Dongtian said from the side: "Look, it scares the child."

After a while, Director Tong Gang walked into the meeting room.

Everyone got up.

Tong Ju suppressed his hand: "Sit and sit, don't make it so serious."

After being seated, Tong Ju joked about Cheng Yu'an first: "Ke Ming has been praising you to me all the time. When I saw you today, you really look like a talent."

Cheng Yu'an said, "Why did my little movie startle Tong Ju?"

Hou Keming laughed at the side and said, "You're embarrassing, "Clues to Time and Space" was reviewed by Tong Ju himself."

Tong Ju said with a smile: "You're boasting, every time we meet you open and close your mouth and say 'We are Yu'an, we are Yu'an', for fear that others will not know that he is your student."

Tong Ju's words made all the bosses laugh together. It seems that Hou Keming often introduces Cheng Yu'an among his colleagues.

The atmosphere in the conference room was very lively, Cheng Yu'an pondered for a while, and he had a bottom line in his mind.

After the joke, Ju Tong took the review form and said: "We have seen the film, there is no problem, it can be released."

"Thank you Tong Ju." Cheng Yu'an thanked him.

"I have a question for you." Tong Ju still has a question.

"Tell me." There's no problem with the movie, you can talk about anything.

"Would you like to work at the General Administration?" Director Tong offered an olive branch.

"Huh?" Cheng Yu'an was dumbfounded.
