From traffic to movie star

Chapter 156 The Gaze from the Other Side of the Ocean

Those who have not personally experienced the barren years of Chinese local films will never understand the fear of the three words "Hollywood" that filmmakers at that time had.

This is the lack of self-confidence brought about by the opponent's box office for a long time and the continuous crushing of film industry technology for decades.

So even now, Dynasty Entertainment, Huaying Media and other film companies have strong enough strength, and they still dare not fight against imported films.

When Wei Xun was on Earth, Chinese movies before 2010 were the same.

Later, China's economy took off, and that vast land with a population of 13 billion gradually leapt into a box office granary that the whole world dare not underestimate.

Even China's local films continue to grow and develop, enough to be able to rub the imported films that come to make money on the ground!
But China in this time and space is still too backward in terms of economy and film industry technology.

In the face of Hollywood's imported blockbusters, almost no film can stand up to it.

So when the headlines of the major media reported that "Charlotte Annoyance" ate up 2% of the film schedule of "Screen Crisis [-]" and was just positively compared with imported films, starting from entertainment forums, it extended to social circles, financial circles, They all set their sights on Wei Xun's new movie.

"At this time, we should let Jiang Chen's fans see who is really fighting against imported movies."

"Although it is already the norm in my country's film industry to avoid the schedule of imported films, when we finally have a film of our own that can really challenge imported films, I suddenly feel a sense of enthusiasm."

""Charlotte Annoyance" is 30.00% sixth, and "Screen Crisis 2" is 40.00% third. The gap does not seem to be big. Maybe this time "Charlotte" may really blow up this imported film!"

"The possibility is very small. Hollywood blockbusters are too much publicized, and there is a huge audience for the first film. With all due respect, if our country wants to produce a movie that crushes imported blockbusters, we still have to watch Bai Qianchi and Dynasty Entertainment. For Wei Xun's words, the background is still not enough."

"Regardless of winning or losing in the end, at least starting from Wei Xun's "Charlotte Annoyance", Huaxia Film finally got tough and dared to say no to imported films."

On the Internet, there is a lot of discussion about the strong filming of "Charlotte", while Medal Media is preparing for the film's premiere on the night of the 21st.

Among them, Zhai Qing, Shao Bing, Jiang Duzhou and Sun Kuo all confirmed their attendance.

Although the relationship between Huaying Media and Times Pictures and Wei Xun is not good, it is a grievance between the capitalists. With Zhai Qing and the others as celebrities, they have the relative freedom to make friends.

What's more, there have been rumors in the industry in recent days that Medal Media is preparing a blockbuster movie with an investment of over [-] million yuan.

And Medal Media has no other actors except Wei Xun.

This made many artists turn their ideas to Medal Media.

The most direct Zhai Qing.

"Sister Qing, can I lie to you about this? If it's a script similar to "Wuwen Xidong", I will definitely find you."

In the office of Medal Media, Wei Xun said helplessly to Zhai Qing on the phone: "The heroine in "Wolf Warrior" is actually a supporting role, not brilliant, and this is a commercial film. , it’s tasteless to you.”

Zhai Qing is a very special existence in the film industry.

This big golden flower queen is keen to cooperate with all big directors, and she can endure hardships.

Hearing that Wei Xun had a new movie in preparation, she didn't feel that there was anything wrong with a movie queen calling to ask for the heroine in person, so she came to ask directly.

I don't know what Zhai Qing said on the phone, Wei Xun said with a smile: "Okay, I will keep it in my heart, sister Qing, don't worry, then we will see you at the Guanchi Cinema tonight?"

A few minutes later, Wei Xun shook his head and hung up the phone.

Dong Zhen, who was waiting in the president's office, immediately said: "Mr. Wei, the premiere of "Charlotte's Annoyance" is ready. It will be at the Guanchi Theater at [-] p.m., including some celebrities, reporters, film critics, luxury goods The brand side, as well as some of your fans, have been invited. Now we have to leave early, and you need to get rid of the reporters waiting in front of the theater before the premiere."

"it is good."

Hearing this, Wei Xun stood up, adjusted his dress by the reflection of the floor-to-ceiling windows, and then went out with Dong Zhen.

Mao Bin, Zou Min, and Gu Changming were already waiting outside.

Seeing Wei Xun coming out, the three followed Wei Xun's pace, Zou Min said beside him: "Mr. Wei, the heroine of "Wolf Warrior", I found a suitable candidate, but I'm not sure if you want her to audition .”

The heroine of "Wolf Warrior", Long Xiaoyun, is set up as a valiant female hero. Such an actor is actually quite rare in the entertainment industry.

Zhai Qing barely complied, but with such a script, it was impossible to invite the Golden Flower Queen.

Wei Xun was a little curious when he heard the words: "Who is it?"

Zou Min was silent for a moment, then said, "Wen Piaopiao from Skylight Media."

The grievances between Wei Xun and Tianguang are clear to everyone present, and Wen Piaopiao, because of cooperating with Wei Xun in "Penglai", made Tianguang lose tens of millions of dollars. Since then, his career has been declining, and it has not slowed down until now. come over.

Hearing this name, Mao Bin, Dong Zhen and others subconsciously looked at Wei Xun.

Wei Xun was also dazed for a moment, then smiled and said, "Okay, let's meet up some time these days."

Zou Min didn't expect him to nod his head so briskly, and heaved a sigh of relief: "Alright Mr. Wei."

At six o'clock in the evening, a large group of reporters and fans gathered outside the Guanchi Theater.

On the Internet #Charlotte Trouble Premiere# is on the list of newsletters.

When Wei Xun appeared on the red carpet in a handsome dress with Zeng Li, the heroine of "Charlotte", there were crazy screams from all around.

He smiled and waved to greet everyone, and then he was surrounded by reporters who had been waiting for a long time.

A reporter asked loudly: "Wei Xun, everyone is saying now that you dare to fight "Big Screen Crisis 2" head-on, which represents the official rise of Chinese movies. Do you have anything to say about this?"

"This is not a question of fighting head-on, but with the development of China's film industry, we will inevitably become the absolute protagonists in our own country's film market."

Facing the camera, Wei Xun smiled and said: "It is undeniable that we have been behind, but we will not always be behind, because the current China is the best era."

The premiere of "Charlotte's Annoyance" was not only broadcast live on the Internet in China, but also in Hollywood on the other side of the ocean, a super giant film and media company called 'Golden Lion' was also watching.

Because of the "Giant Screen Crisis 2" invested by Golden Lion, [-]% of the film schedule was swallowed up by a local Chinese film.

This is the first time in recent years that a Hollywood blockbuster has been sniped in China.

It also made the recent Golden Lion the laughing stock of Hollywood.

"This young man, why have I never heard of it?"

In the conference room of the Golden Lion Headquarters Building, a blond, middle-aged Caucasian man frowned at Wei Xun, who was talking to the media on the LCD TV, and asked, "Apart from Bai Qianchi, is there any other actor in Huaxia?" Can it have such a high appeal, can it tear away our film?"
