Light and shadow player

Chapter 433

After this year, the company will let the first batch of three artists go out independently to open a personal studio or company.

They are Brother Hu, Yang Mi and Tangtang.

These three are currently the best-developed among the remote artists, and they can already sell tickets and movies by their names.

Years later, I talked to all three of them, and they were all willing to go out and do it alone.

Before the contract expired, they negotiated to convert it into the shares of their personal company.

They also agree with such a plan, holding shares in their personal company remotely, and it also makes them feel confident-at least the company will not really ignore themselves.

Therefore, not only Yang Mi, but also Tangtang has frantically accepted dramas this year. He has to make sure that he will be in the movies for the next two to three years in order to deal with unexpected situations after independence.

Coupled with the fact that the two of them were a little bit at odds before, it looks even better now.

Yang Mi received "Dwelling in the Fuchuan Mountains" and partnered with Andy Lau; she took the initiative to contact Zhang Ziyi, intending to star in "Very Lucky", and added another TV series "Love and Herbal Fragrance".

The two women are secretly working hard, but the other protagonist, Brother Hu, is leisurely.

He has a very good mentality now, he doesn't plan to start a company like Yang Mi and Tangtang did, he will open a small personal studio, and take three plays in two years.

Now it has been confirmed that he will play the role of Zhang Junjie in the drama king "Red Sorghum" that the company pre-determined.

Although he is not the leading actor Yu Zhanao, he also knows that he cannot be a tough guy like Yu Zhanao, so he is willing to act as Zhu Yawen's supporting role.

At the same time, he was also talking about the male protagonist of a movie in the company.

The pressure is much less than theirs.

Talk about this year's Cannes Film Festival.

This year, only Lou Ye's "Mystery of the Floating City" was shortlisted for the Un Certain Regard competition.

Lou Ye!France is his home field.

Only shortlisted for one attention unit?Can't justify it.

To put it bluntly, "Mystery of the Floating City" is not good enough to be shortlisted for the main competition unit.

Gilles Jacob, the chairman of the film festival, called Cheng Yu'an a few days ago and wanted to invite him to come, saying that no film was screened in Cannes.Ask him to be a guest at the festival.

Cheng Yu'an didn't refuse, but he didn't agree immediately, saying that his new film will be released soon, and he will be very busy in May, so he doesn't know if he has time to go to Cannes.But no matter whether I go or not, my colleagues in the company will definitely go to Cannes to sell films.

Some people think that Cheng Yu'an is easy to talk to, and he will go as soon as he is invited, and he doesn't have the air of a tens of billionaire Oscar best director.

But let's see who came to invite Cheng Yu'an:

Marc Müller, president of the Venice Film Festival; Gilles Jacobs, president of the Cannes Film Festival.

Change the leader of the small film festival to invite Cheng Yuan, see if he agrees.

After all, he has never been to Berlin in the three majors. Why didn't the chairman of the Berlin Film Festival, Dieter Koslick, say that he wanted to see himself?

This goddamn collector.

On the eve of May [-]st, Huang Xiaoming was the first to welcome "Titanic" and "Super Battleship" as the producer of "Everyman".

Xiao Ming, the producer, is really wronged.

Yang Shupeng, the director of "Everyman", is ambitious and talented, but also likes waves.

While still filming on the set, he cheated on the heroine, Second Sister Zhang, which caused the investor of the film, that is, his wife, to divorce him and withdraw his capital.

Xiao Ming was forced to "fight for justice" and plug the hole.

It's been talked about in circles.

People in the entertainment industry, especially directors, have a lot of choice, and others won't say anything if they are a little bit extravagant.

But you have to have a bottom line, you are still filming, your wife is still an investor and producer, and you are still playing?
But when this matter came to the media, it changed its story: "Because the production team was not going well, the original director and investors withdrew, and the director Yang Shupeng was ordered to overthrow the original story and rewrite the script in a short period of time, which attracted Huang Xiaoming's loyalty to stand up. Pay out of your own pocket to be one of the investors.”

Some media said beforehand that this year may be the worst May [-]st for domestic films.

Because there were "Titanic" and "Super Battleship" before, and "Avengers" after.

This year's May 4st, the outside world is the most promising, and only Cheng Yu'an's "The Thieves", but the estimated box office is only 5-[-] million-only enough to pay back.

Facing a strong opponent, Huang Xiaoming did not hesitate: "I didn't expect the momentum of 'Big Ship' to be so fierce, it is very stressful... Now we need the fearless strength of "Pimp". I believe we can defeat Hollywood's strong ship and cannon. Domestic films are fighting for their breath."

However, when it comes to expectations for the box office, he seems a bit pessimistic: "I don't expect it, this time I have the idea that I will die, as long as everyone who has seen it says it is good enough."

Under the booing of the reporters, he still made a grand statement: "If it exceeds [-] million, I will give the director a Mercedes-Benz."

The story script of "Pimp" is actually not bad: the bandit leader Fang is expected to take his younger brother to have a good time in his underground world.One day, Gao Dongliang, a groom official, was kidnapped, but Gao Dongliang was a tough guy. With his blood and wisdom, he conquered the entire gang and became the "second master". Assuming the "responsibility of every man", relying on the weapons and flesh and blood in his hands, he sneaked into the Japanese camp, trying to make a big difference...

The background of the whole story is very good. "It's kind of like Let the Bullets Fly."

But the logic of Yang Shupeng’s story is still not smooth, and the bandit’s motive for resisting the Japanese has not been explained clearly—Mazi engaged Huang Silang because Huang Silang killed his sixth son, wife, second child, and master, and wanted to put him to death.

There is also no plot that highlights the masculine domineering of the bandits-"Let the Bullets Fly" begins with robbing the train, and in the middle, people from two major families and Huang Silang's substitute are tied up at a funeral.

It's not that if you grow a beard, dress sloppily, and say two dirty words, you are a bandit.

Sure enough, "Everyman" failed to catch fire on the first day, and the box office was less than one million.

Sure enough, Xiao Ming was right, he was indeed "holding the idea of ​​death". Regarding the box office failure, Yang Shupeng cleverly blamed the schedule problem, kept silent about the quality of the film, and said calmly:

"As far as the current sight is concerned, it is impossible for domestic films such as "Piff" to destroy Hollywood. What we can do is to make good films and let the audience have confidence in domestic films. In fact, the audience is more Most of them were scared away by our own bad films. Fortunately, our films, including "Pimp", "Thieves" and "Killing"... are of good quality, and I have confidence in this."

It is also strange to say that this year's May [-]st domestic film is a domestic film. The three films have tacitly chosen the villain as the protagonist.

"Everyman" talks about bandits.

The protagonists of "Thieves League" are a group of thieves.

"Killing" is a mass murder case.

The failure of "Pifu" made the audience less confident in domestic films against Hollywood in May [-]st, but it also increased their expectations for Cheng Yu'an.

He is now a benchmark figure in domestic films, if he can't beat Hollywood...

On the same day, "Titanic" topped the 8 million box office domestically, and "Super Battleship" was released for 8 days and attracted 1.5 million. Cheng Yu'an came with his thieves.
