Light and shadow player

Chapter 774

A literary film like "Little Princess" with a cost of no more than 1000 million won't even hit the headlines when it starts. At most, it will write a draft as usual, saying that the new film produced by Qin Hailu and directed by Zhang Meng will start in Beijing.

However, Liu Yifei's joining is different!

Zhang Meng used Liu Yifei to achieve this effect, bringing as much exposure and attention to the film as possible.

This is of course a very utilitarian idea, but it’s hard to make literary films these days. You used to be able to win awards and be gilded, but now it’s getting harder and harder to win awards. If you win an award and return to your country, the audience will praise you at most, and then turn around and go into commercial films. screening room.

Moreover, Liu Yifei's acting skills are not that bad. If her acting skills were really bad, even if Cheng Yu'an fed the resources into her mouth, she would not be able to develop into what she is now.

The young lady is not talented, but she really works hard and endures hardships, and she really regards acting as a lifelong career that she loves. Otherwise, after giving birth to a daughter, she can be a full-time wife at home, which is useless As soon as I was confinement, I flew to the United States to film.

In a foreign country, while taking the child with her, she was struggling on the set. Only she knew the hardships and difficulties, but she gritted her teeth and survived.

If the reporters remember correctly, this should be Liu Yifei's first literary film since his debut.

In the face of reporters' inquiries, Liu Yifei was also frank:

"I don't know why the director of a literary film didn't seek me out. In fact, I really want to act in a literary film. It just so happened that director Zhang Meng had this opportunity here, so I recommended myself here."

Zhang Yuqi couldn't perform due to illness, she made a temporary rescue, such words must not be said at the press conference.

"Then before the reporter recognized you as...?"

"I was experiencing life at that time, and I was recognized by you." After speaking, he blamed the reporter, "It's all your fault, I still have a week left."

The reporter hurriedly apologized, and then asked: "Why did you accept a movie like "Little Princess"?"

"The script is good." Liu Yifei replied straightforwardly, "Director Zhang Meng and Sister Hailu are both very good. I knew they were preparing this movie, so I had the cheek to find them."

"Will you consider the salary?" Liu Yifei made a strong comeback with "Northwest 2". So far, the box office of the film has exceeded 7 million, becoming the biggest winner of the Christmas-New Year's Day file. The employer has seen her commercial value again, and her salary has returned to the pre-production level.

"Let's see, hehe." Liu Yifei really didn't care.

The film schedule was very tight, and not long after the opening press conference, the film crew began to rush people, and it was time to prepare for filming.

"Liu Yifei was shocked at the opening of the literary film, no pay was considered, only the script."

"Liu Yifei's literary film debut, "Little Princess" was launched in Beijing, and the Shanghai Film Festival revealed the answer!"

For Liu Yifei's first challenge to a literary film, most of the industry, fans, and ordinary passer-by audiences are not optimistic about her attempt this time.

For one thing, although the outside world more or less knows that Liu Yifei is a bit hypocritical and has always wanted to try literary films, but since her debut, she has always acted in commercial films, and the development route that Long-distance Company and Cheng Yu'an personally set for her is also a big flower in commercial films.

Secondly, there are three treasures of heroines in literary and artistic films, such as few words, small breasts, and stern expressions.Liu Yifei doesn't stick to any of these three.

The most important thing is, with such a face, to act as a cleaning girl who can't make money to pay the rent, the audience won't believe it!

Therefore, before the film was released, many people were not optimistic about Liu Yifei's attempt.

When Cheng Yu'an was asked this question, she just smiled and said: "Trying more different types of plays will be good for her future development. Of course I support it."

"Are you worried that the quality of the film is not good, or that Yifei can't act well?"

"Don't worry, if you don't do well this time, come back next time." Cheng Yu'an said.

"Yi Fei is now the most successful actress in commercial films in China, will she take the opportunity of "Little Princess" to transform into a literary film?"

"She didn't tell me that she had such a plan. Commercial films and literary films, as long as the script is good, she will accept it." Cheng Yu'an waved his hand, "Thank you reporters and friends for your concern for Yifei. I am her husband, not her agent, she herself For work matters, you'd better ask her agent and assistant."

Cheng Yu'an ended the interview with a smile before being let go.

It would be a lie to say that there is no worry, "Little Princess" is not as good as the production team of a commercial blockbuster, and it is Liu Yifei's first time acting in a literary film.

Fortunately, Li Xiaoxiao is not the kind of character who needs intense emotional release and restraint, otherwise Cheng Yu'an would really not be able to resist joining the crew of "Little Princess".

Entering the company, I happened to see Zhao Jinmai and his mother talking to the company people.

"Mai Mai." Cheng Yu'an called her, "Is it on vacation?"

"Yeah." Zhao Jinmai said.

Zhao Jinmai is in the second semester of the third year of junior high school, which is a critical period for the exam.

"Why are you free today?"

Zhao's mother said: "I'm looking for Mai Mai for a play, come and watch it during the holiday."

Cheng Yu'an frowned slightly. He had his own views on the development of child actors: "Mai Mai is in the third grade of junior high school, so he should focus on his studies. Why do you have to find a [-]-year-old kid for a play?"

"Zhang Zifeng has already been finalized for Wanda's play, and I want to invite Mai Mai to play a supporting role."

Among the current girl stars, the most dazzling one must be Zhang Zifeng.

Cheng Yu'an didn't have any other ideas: "It won't delay your studies, right?"

"No," Zhao's mother said, "It is said that it will be filmed this summer vacation."

"That's fine, you guys talk, then sign it." Cheng Yu'an obviously felt that the little girl was a little afraid to talk to him, probably because she had seen herself getting angry with the actors and crew in "The Wandering Earth", and she was a little embarrassed.

Cheng Yu'an returned to his office and found several gift boxes on the office floor.

It happened that the administrative girl came over and said, "This is a new year's gift prepared by the company for employees this year. Let's take a look at it."

"You decide, what does Lao Liu (the vice president in charge of administrative logistics of Remote Media Group) say?"

"Mr. Liu has no objection, and he posted it like this in previous years."

Cheng Yuan picked up a box from the ground and looked at it. It was a box of nuts, and there were always six or seven boxes.

Cheng Yu'an said with a smile: "This year is the 15th anniversary of the company, and our results are also good. Don't be stingy, add more."

"How much?"

"Add another 2000 budget per person. You make a plan and I will sign it."

The administrative girl said with a smile: "There is an extra box of abalone fish maw for department directors and above. We are all very greedy for this."

Cheng Yu'an smiled and said: "So I was waiting for me here, okay, add it to you, and give you a bottle of good wine, would you like it?"

"Really?!" The administrative girl said in surprise, "Thank you, chairman."

"Don't be silly, eat my food, but work hard, or I won't post it next year."

"Yes!"

"Okay, you guys finish the list and I'll approve it. It's only a few days before the holiday, so don't delay the purchasing time."

"it is good."
