Light and shadow player

Chapter 358

Cheng Yu'an did not participate in the crosstalk performance after the birthday party, but went back to the crew hotel to prepare for tomorrow's play.

"You Who Came from the Star" was about to wrap up, and in Toronto, the crew of "Hunting" had basically completed preparations, and they were just waiting for the director Cheng Yu'an to come and start the film.

"Tiantian is so pitiful." Liu Yifei suddenly said this for no reason.

"Huh? What happened to her?"

"The performance of "Tron: Legacy" in North America is not satisfactory, and it cannot be sold overseas. Disney directly stopped the promotional funds, regardless of this movie." Liu Yifei got the news from Sarah, the vice president of production of a large film company.

Cheng Yu'an's expression didn't fluctuate much, and Liu Yifei said, "Did you already know that this movie is not good, and deliberately cheat people's money?"

amount……

Cheng Yu'an did make a fortune for Starlight and CJ with "Creation: Legacy", but how could Cheng Yu'an admit it:
"How can this be called a lie!" Cheng Yu'an explained, "Disney is right, right is the science fiction blockbuster right, right is the sequel to the original blockbuster. I also invested 2000 million dollars in it."

"You earned all your money from Tiantian and Xijie."

"You can't buy a ticket when you get on the bus!" Cheng Yu'an said, "Hundreds of people from the American company eat with me. I don't make money, and the people under my command drink Northwest Wind."

"Besides, Disney tricked me with a movie from 30 years ago. If I'm not careful, he can eat me up. Wait a minute, I'll answer the phone." Cheng Yu'an picked up the phone.

"Hello, Teacher Hou." The caller was Hou Keming, his mentor.

"Isn't it appropriate... It's not that I'm heartless, I'm a director and you asked me... I didn't say no... In the next year? I'm going to start "Hunting" in the next year...Okay, I'll take two days to go one trip."

After hanging up the phone, Liu Yifei asked him, "What does Teacher Hou want from you?"

"He asked me to be an examiner for this year's art test."

"That's a good thing."

"What the hell, he wants me to be an examiner for the acting department." It's not too bad to be an examiner for the directing department.

"What's the matter, I still want to go, but unfortunately I don't have this chance." Liu Yifei was a little sour.

Cheng Yu'an is now an outstanding alumnus of the Academy of Film, and her photos are on the official website and the annual admissions brochure, while Liu Yifei only has a name in the alumni list, not even a photo, yes, even the graduation photo of the 02 form There is no her in the picture, the author looked at the photo for a long time before confirming that she did not take graduation photos.

Back to TRON: Legacy.

Disney has given up on publicity, but the publicity of domestic companies continues.

Tian Tian worked harder than before to promote, but couldn't resist the ferment of bad reviews:

"The lighting effect is cool, but it can't stand the emptiness of the plot and the weak construction of the world view."

"Electronic rock has always been a minority in China, and it is difficult to attract audiences to pay for it."

Then, "Tron: Legacy" topped the weekly championship with a record of 7 million in the first 7150 days.

This result is very poor, 7 million in 7000 days, and it is still after the climax of "Let the Bullets Fly" and "If You Are the One 2" have passed.

Starlight and China Film Group saw such results, and also drastically reduced their publicity and distribution expenses in the second week.

Tian Tian was very sad, this movie has already exceeded [-] million domestically, and even her own mothers in overseas markets don't even recognize it.

She knows the rules of Hollywood. Tian Tian screwed up a big production like "Tron: Legacy" with a cost of 3 million, and she will basically miss the mainstream Hollywood production in the future.

It can't be said that Tiantian screwed up, but the rules of Hollywood are so cruel.

…………

"You Who Came from the Star" will wrap up next week, and some actors have already left the group.

Cheng Yu'an also had time to run two events.

No, he arrived at the premiere of "New Shaolin Temple" today.

This movie is really average, and it can even be said that there are no surprises.

But he didn't come to watch the movie either, he came to see Brother Hua.

"Brother Hua," Cheng Yu'an sat next to Andy Lau, "This year we plan to co-produce a sci-fi film with Yinhuang. I wonder if you are free."

"No." Brother Hua shook his head. He would have answered it at any other time. "In the next two months, I'll rest after singing. I'm going to have a baby."

Hua Ge is 50, Zhu Liqian is 45, and it will be too late if there are no more children.

"Okay." Cheng Yu'an wanted to cooperate with Andy Lau, and Liu also wanted to make Cheng Yu'an's movie, but this timing was too unfortunate.

"It's okay." Liu Dehua patted Cheng Yu'an, "There will be opportunities in the future. I have a loose schedule in the future, so you can call me anytime if there is a good show."

Xie Tingfeng who was on the side was very moved when he heard it.

Yang Shoucheng is his godfather, he knew the news of "Source Code" immediately, and wanted to act very much.

However, the copyright of "Source Code" is in the hands of Remote, and several roles need to be negotiated by both parties to be finalized.

"Director Cheng." Xie Tingfeng came up to talk, he was 2 years older than Cheng Yu'an.

"Tingfeng, long time no see." Cheng Yu'an shook hands with him.

In fact, the two have nothing in common, so they just chat about the daily life of filming and flatter each other.

For example, Cheng Yu'an praised Nicholas Tse as a hard-working filmmaker, and Nicholas Tse praised Cheng Yu'an as a genius director.

"I like the story of "Hunting" very much." This kind of popular story can resonate with him, because he has been accompanied by rumors and scandals since his debut.

Cheng Yu'an nodded: "This movie should be released on Hong Kong Island, please go see it then."

Dong Han found him as soon as news of the movie came out, but after hearing the general story, Dong Han shook his head again and again, saying that it was impossible to introduce it.

Several people chatted for a while, and the premiere ceremony began.

"New Shaolin Temple" conveys a message that Jackie Chan really doesn't want to fight anymore.

He would rather be a supporting role in this movie, being a cooking gang leader.

Jackie Chan also clearly expressed this meaning at the premiere scene:
"It's true that I'm getting older, I've been playing all my life and now I want to try something different."

"Actually, I'm also good at literary dramas. If the directors and producers present here have literary dramas, I can also act in them." When Jackie Chan said this, everyone laughed.

Cheng Yu'an booed from the audience: "Brother, I'll ask you to act!"

Jackie Chan pointed at Cheng Yu'an on the stage and smiled, "You said that."

"Hahaha~" Everyone laughed, and the premiere scene was full of joy.

After the premiere, Cheng Yu'an went backstage to communicate with the main creator.

Fan Xiaopang took the opportunity to strike up a conversation, and Cheng Yuan first said, "Sister Bing Bing is really good at acting."

"Are you praising me or hurting me?" Fan Xiaopang rolled his eyes coquettishly.

"Praise you." Cheng Yu'an smiled, "That's really good." A compliment is a real compliment, and I don't know if I'm sincere or not.

"So what can I do if I act well, I'm not playing a supporting role for others." Ordinarily, she shouldn't say this in the backstage of the crew, it's too embarrassing.

But fortunately no one else heard this.

"You can't say that, you are the heroine." The heroine of "New Shaolin Temple" is of course Fan Xiaopang, but this is a male drama, and the heroine doesn't have much room to play. "Brother Jackie Chan is a supporting role in it."

"What are you talking about me!" Jackie Chan came over, and Fan Xiaopang left knowingly.

"Say that you are a noble character, willing to play a supporting role for young people." Cheng Yu'an raised his hand.

"You don't mean what you say when you see it." Jackie Chan smiled, "Hey, you just said you asked me to make a movie, you were not joking."

"Of course not!" Who would joke if Jackie Chan could be invited, "I do have a few roles that are suitable for you, but they are all supporting roles. If you don't mind, let's move on."

Jackie Chan didn't immediately agree, everyone wanted to play the leading role, but a good supporting role could also be considered: "Let's talk about it after reading the script."
