Chapter 232 The Upright Liu Yifei

There are six big Hollywood, and there are various circles in China (Beijing circle, Shanghai circle, Northwest circle, and production companies in various countries).

Movies are a circle, and it is difficult for outsiders to enter.

The Korean film market is monopolized by the Big Four (CJ, New, Showbox, and Lotte), and the Korean market is very exclusive, making it even more difficult for outsiders to enter.

In the eyes of Korea's Big Four, SM is an outsider.

Yuan Yuan and Cheng Yu'an are high-quality partners they recognize, and they absolutely don't allow SM to come in to disrupt the situation.

So what if you have money?Which of the Big Four has no money?

Therefore, Cheng Yu'an didn't know what method Xi Jie used, and SM actually voluntarily withdrew from the competition of "Tron: Legacy".

According to the news from the remote Korean studio, after returning from China, SM President Kim Youngmin was admitted to the hospital due to food poisoning within two days, and he has not come out yet.

CJ naturally got the investment opportunity of "Tron: Legacy".

But when CJ learned that a Chinese company named Starlight took their original investment share of 3500 million with 2000 million US dollars, he also wanted to cry without tears.

But fortunately, there is still 1000 million US dollars left, and the competitor they will face is Huayi, the largest film and television company in China.

The Wang brothers were also very anxious. They didn't expect Cheng Yu'an to reject the "Di Renjie" series.

Xu Ke + Andy Lau, Cheng Yu'an didn't want it!
Immediately afterwards, news came from Yuanyuan that the star-studded Lu Zheng won the investment share of 3500 million U.S. dollars in "Tron: Legacy" at a sky-high price of 2000 million U.S. dollars, and Tian Tian played the heroine Kwai La.

Lu Zheng can blow Grandpa Cheng's style, but the Wang brothers have nothing to do with it.

For the final 1000 million US dollars, the two brothers are expected to spend 1500-2000 million US dollars.

This price made Hua Yi straight up: "Cheng Yu'an didn't need to pay a penny, and he made a net profit of more than 1 million."

But the two brothers knew that taking Cheng Yu'an's boat was the shortest way to Hollywood before them. Who told Cheng Yu'an to master the channel to Hollywood.

No way, let's chip in!
This is the only chance they have to seize.

How Huayi and Xijie compete is none of Cheng Yu'an's business, he is currently filming "The Wind" in Qiuzhuang.

Pan Yueming acted in "Mei Lanfang", in which he played Mr. Mei's cousin, the male singer Zhu Huifang.

Seriously worked hard to learn opera.

So when he played Bai Xiaonian, there was no major problem with his style and opera skills.

But he just couldn't let it go, his previous screen image was always mainly a white-faced scholar, and a rabbit like Bai Xiaonian made him very difficult.

Cheng Yu'an clicked the most on him.

Two old actors, Liang Guanhua and Jiang Wenli, acted as his performance directors on the spot, teaching him how to create characters with their decades of performance experience.

"Crack! Yue Ming is wrong! Fan Er pick it up. Come again!"

"No, it's too much."

"Crack! What's the matter with the lights, who told you to fight like this! Do it again!"

"Who prepared the clothes, is this the style of the old age, change it quickly!"

None of the films were filmed smoothly. Even though "The Wind" used most of the company's old crew, there were still [-] problems on the set every day.

Cheng Yu'an took off the earphones and threw them on the stage: "I haven't finished filming a scene today, you taught me how to shoot, it's gone, come back tomorrow."

Cheng Yu'an had a terrible headache, and he didn't know what was going on today, there were always problems.

We can only disband first and leave it for tomorrow.

Cheng Yu'an locked himself in the room full of sulking, and held a meeting with the heads of the crew to find problems.

After chatting for more than two hours, they found that there was no technical problem, and all the preparations that should be done were done as before. Cheng Yu'an was upset and told them to go back first.

He and Han Yan were the only ones left in the room.

Han Yan said: "I think it's because people's hearts are broken."

"People are scattered?"

They are all veterans, and they have been working together for many years, so how could people lose their minds.

Han Yan continued: "I mean everyone is thinking about other things."

"what's up?"

"In the past few days, it has been spread in circles that your "Tron: Legacy", which is a collaboration with Disney, is also Hua Yi, and South Korea's CJ, and the investment is tens of millions of dollars. The brothers in the crew I was very surprised, and my attitude towards you has also changed. You are tied up in things and can't let go. Even actors are like this."

"This is my personal investment. What does it have to do with the crew? I'm still a director." Cheng Yu'an rubbed his face, this is also a problem.

"That's it," Cheng Yu'an continued, "You call the Venerable Master, and I'll invite everyone to have a supper tonight and have a couple of drinks to relieve the pain."

At the wine table, Cheng Yuan made the first apology:

"Anyway, the progress of the crew is so slow, and I, the director, have to take the first responsibility, because some of my personal investment made everyone feel uneasy, and it's my fault."

Cheng Yu'an didn't have the airs of the boss and the boss of the crew at all.

The heads of the crew and several leading actors laughed together: "No, it's none of the director's business, it's because we didn't cooperate well."

Cheng Yu'an added: "In the United States, I mainly invest. I may go to make two films by myself in a few years, but I will definitely still hang out in China, and I have to film with everyone."

Although it was Cheng Yu'an's treat, no one drank too much, and they had to film a movie tomorrow, so they just ate it and made a fuss until the early hours of the morning.

…………

Beijing, "The Founding of a Nation" held a press conference today.

The press conference was arranged in a grand manner. In addition to the media, the main creative team also photographed the representatives present.

Long-distance media is a co-production unit of the film, so of course Cheng Lingfeng has to show his face.

Liu Yifei also came, after all, she was inserted into the cast remotely, playing the role of an unknown female student, showing her face for a few seconds, and saying a few words.

The news of "The Founding of a Nation" came out very early, and the media also knew that the film would have an all-star cast.

Han Dong, who is directing again after 18 years, is very excited: "I am very happy, but also very nervous.

"I decided to make a movie very early, but I couldn't make up my mind about what form to make. Later, after I communicated with our planner, Director Cheng Yu'an, he proposed to use an all-star cast.

"We did some research and found that this form is very good, but we are not sure about the pay. We tried to communicate with the actors and hoped that their pay would be lower, but many actors heard about our idea and offered to participate in the film for free. play.

"Here I would like to thank Guoli and Guoqiang. They were the first actors we identified, and they will help us find actors later."

At the press conference, Han Sanping notified the media of the filming plan of "The Founding of a Nation";
"Shooting for 3 months, the filming is expected to be completed in early May, and all post-production will be handed over to China Film Hualong for production, and the finished film will be released on the market on September 5."

This kind of film has everything planned at the beginning.

"Mr. Cheng, Director Cheng is one of the planners of this film, why didn't you come to the press conference today?"

"He was still filming in Dalian, and he called us to apologize before the press conference, saying that he regretted not being able to come to the scene." Cheng Lingfeng replied generously.

"Yifei, you are usually busy..."

The reporter originally wanted to ask Liu Yifei how she felt about participating in this movie, but before the conversation started, the young lady interrupted abruptly: "I'm not busy, hehe, I've been off for a year."

"Ah, I'm not busy." The reporters in the audience were also amused by Liu Yifei's straightforward answer, "Then how did Yifei think of participating in "The Founding of a Country"?"

"I haven't accepted a role for a year, so I have the cheek to ask for a role."

Originally, with such a subject matter, the press conference was quite serious, but being disturbed by Liu Yifei, even Director Han felt a lot more relaxed.

Turning her head, she asked Lingfeng softly, "Why hasn't she accepted a show for a year?"

"Ham, it's been more than a year, and Yu'an has solved it."

Han Dong also asked a question by the way, and didn't take it seriously.
