Chapter 849 Maybe It Can Really Come True

"Painted Skin 4" has been confirmed to be the last film in the "Painted Skin" series.

Tong Liya will also officially bid farewell to the role of Bai Ling after this movie.

For many reasons, this series could not be filmed any further.

The first three films of "Painted Skin" have achieved very good returns, and the investors are still willing to invest in Guo Fan, but it is difficult for Guo Fan and his screenwriting team to come up with more exciting stories to attract the audience.

The story of the fourth part follows the end of the third part. After the monster war, Bai Ling was sealed for 200 years. He returned to the world due to an accident, but unexpectedly lost his memory. From this, Bai Ling embarked on a journey of searching for himself and playing in the world. Wonderful journey.

In internal discussions, Guo Fan complained more than once that he didn't want to make "Painted Skin" again: "I have to meet with at least three groups of investors a day, and everyone said they supported me and wanted me to continue filming "Painted Skin". After that, I really couldn’t think of how else to write the story of Bai Ling. Some people suggested that I do Liaozhai Universe, but the public version IP can’t do cosmic linkage. After writing the script of the fourth part, I didn’t even want to see Huapi for a while. and Bai Ling."

Director Guo Fan's fatigue is one aspect, so he chose to write Bai Ling as "dead" in the fourth part - Bai Ling finally duels with the villain, disappears in front of everyone forever, life and death are uncertain, in exchange for the eternal life of the two races On the other hand, the subsequent costs can no longer be suppressed. Tong Liya's salary in the fourth part is only 200 million higher than that of the third part. In the "Painted Skin" series, Tong Liya can get the highest salary among domestic actors. , The rest of the cost was all spent on the later stage. Just like this, the actual budget has exceeded the original 3 million, and went straight to 5 million.

Tiangong Yicai has developed a brand new special effects tool for "Painted Skin 4", and the cost is very high, making the profit prospect of "Painted Skin 4" suddenly unclear.

Therefore, Guo Fan decided to suspend the "Painted Skin" series of films.

In the future, the stories of Liao Zhai will meet the audience in the form of web dramas and animations, but there will be no more live-action movies.

Long-distance Film and Television also informed the outside world of this news at the launch ceremony of "Painted Skin 4".

"Painted Skin" is a milestone in domestic fantasy films. It has been in operation for 10 years. Such an ending caused a lot of embarrassment from the outside world, but the audience also expressed their acceptance.

Regarding the future plan, Guo Fan revealed: "I already have an idea, but it is still in the preliminary discussion stage, and it is not convenient to disclose it for the time being."

"Painted Skin 4" and "Mulan" are both in the Oriental Film City, and the crews of both sides often visit each other.

I don't know if Tong Liya has a special way to tame Cheng Mufan, or if Cheng Mufan really likes Aunt Yaya, Cheng Mufan is very obedient in Tong Liya's hands, he is obedient without crying or making trouble.

It made Liu Yifei jealous: "Go and be Auntie Yaya's daughter, okay?"

Cheng Mufan was embarrassed by what he said, and hid in Tong Liya's arms without looking at his mother.

"Yifei, it's your turn."

"Hey, here we come." Liu Yifei put down the thermos, got up and went to work.

Most of the green screen scenes in "Mulan" are action scenes, which are a little dangerous, so you need to be prepared.

But despite this, Liu Yifei was still thrown into a mess, but she didn't care at all. Sometimes she felt that she didn't do well enough, and she would ask for another one.

So, now Liu Yifei is lying on the bed, and Cheng Yu'an is applying medicinal wine and massaging her.

Daughter sits on the floor and plays with puzzles.

He is the director on the set, but after the filming, he is the husband: "Let's shoot less action scenes in the future. I have recuperated in the past few years, and I have suffered injuries after filming action scenes in the past few years."

"Hiss—" Liu Yifei groaned on his stomach, "Didn't you teach me that if you want to get ahead, you have to suffer that others can't bear, this kind of injury is nothing, take it easy, it's hard for actresses to get ahead now , I finally made it through, so I have to work harder."

"That's what you said, but look at your injuries." Cheng Yu'an continued to press his wife's waist.

"After the lifelong spondylosis when I was a child is recuperated, the serious illness will disappear. This minor injury will recover after half a year of recuperation. It's nothing. Where do you press, the child is still there." Liu Yifei raised his hand and hit Cheng Yu'an .

Cheng Mufan didn't understand, he was still playing intently.

"A play like "Little Princess" is good." Cheng Yu'an said.

"I would like to act more of this kind of literary drama, but now there are so many heroine literary dramas for me." Not to mention domestic, the scripts of heroine literary dramas are scarce all over the world.

Oscar queens have to come to Marvel to play supporting roles.

The competition among domestic actresses is fierce, and Liu Yifei is good, but she is not the only one who can act as the heroine of literary dramas. The acting skills of Gong Li, Zhang Ziyi, and Zhou Gongzi are all more reassuring than Liu Yifei. Although Tan Zhuo is less famous, his acting skills are guaranteed.

Liu Yifei wants to take over the role of heroine in literary dramas, so she has to compete with these seniors.

Liu Yifei went on to say: "You didn't write a notebook for me."

Cheng Yu'an slapped Liu Yifei's waist: "What you said is dirty, "Mulan" is not good."

"I'm talking about literary and opera, the kind that shows off my acting skills."

"Do you think I'm a mental worker or a coding machine? You don't have to think about writing things? How rare are literary and drama scripts? If you can produce a book in two or three years, it's considered high-yield."

Liu Yifei turned over, and Cheng Yuan took a towel to cover her: "My child."

"What is my daughter afraid of?" Liu Yifei continued, "It seems that you haven't written the script yourself for a long time."

Really, after "Old Father", Cheng Yu'an basically stopped writing scripts. The scripts of "The Wandering Earth" and "Mulan" were all written by his leading screenwriting team. Both films have references to the original works. Cheng Yu'an has already I haven't written an original story for five or six years.

"Writing scripts is too tiring, even more tiring than filming." Cheng Yu'an is not a director like Chen Kaige and Zhang Yimou who does everything.

"There are not many stocks in the safe." It should be gone. Cheng Yu'an's scripts have been exhausted in the past few years, and most of the scripts still in the safe are outlines and demos.

"No more, no more. A good script is a gift from God. Sometimes it depends on luck and fate. Okay, I'm done." Cheng Yu'an called it a day and washed his hands.

…………

At noon on the 8th, a piece of good news came from the other side of the ocean: the foreign language film "Three Billboards" directed by Zhang Yimou won the Best Drama, Best Actress and Best Supporting Actor at the 75th American Film and Television Golden Globe Awards Three awards!

Zhang Yimou became the second mainland director to win the Golden Globe after Cheng Yu'an!

Although it was a foreign-language film that won the award, Zhang Yimou was still highly praised in China.

"Lao Mouzi, who is nearly 70 years old, is still young. His creative desire prompted him to try different genres other than Chinese films."

"Facts have proved that Zhang Yimou's choice to cooperate with Remote is the most correct decision. Remote can really help him realize his dream. I look forward to Director Zhang's performance in Oscar!"

On the night of the awards ceremony, Zhang Yimou stood on the podium in a black Chinese tunic suit, delivered his acceptance speech in English that he had memorized in advance, and ended in Chinese: "Thank you everyone."
