Actor: I picked up attributes on the set

Chapter 170 The premiere of Detective Tang!

After resting in the apartment for almost a week, Lin Yuan was called back to the company by Sister Xia.

In order to compete for tens of billions of box office, not only sister Xia, but even the company is helping Lin Yuan to see if there is a suitable movie script for him.

After nearly a week, only one movie that was more suitable for him to star in was finally selected-"Dangerous City".

The reason why it took so long to select a suitable movie for Lin Yuan was not because Lin Yuan was so demanding, but because after the Chinese New Year, many film crews had entered the shooting stage.

There are no production crews that have started filming yet, either because the investment is small and no actors can be hired, or the script is flawed and no actors can be attracted to join the crew. Therefore, it is still a bit difficult to find a better script during the time after the year difficult.

Let's go back to the movie "Dangerous City".

In the list of actors that has been confirmed now, there are powerful actors such as Gu Zai, Liu Qingyun and Hong Jinbao, and the director Chen Musheng also quoted 700 million yuan for Lin Yuan's film remuneration, which can be said to be very sincere.

It's just that after Lin Yuan went to the company to read the script, he couldn't help hesitating.

Because he had filmed "One Man's Martial Arts" before, he knew very well how difficult it is for this kind of action martial arts movie to hit the box office, not to mention that the background of the script of this movie is still set in the era of warlords. This makes it even more difficult to attract audiences into the cinema to watch.

Perhaps it is also the director Chen Musheng who knows the current dilemma of action martial arts films, so he hopes that Lin Yuan will appear in this movie, hoping to create the same miracle as the movie "One Man's Martial Arts" and break the previous box office record.

Sister Xia looked at the tangled expression on Lin Yuan's face, and said with relief: "If you think the script of this movie is not suitable, you can let it go first. Anyway, Director Chen still has many roles that have not been finalized, and there is still a long time before the filming starts. Two or three times."

If you want to compete for tens of billions of box office, it doesn't mean that any actor who makes more movies has hope.

The more this is the case, the more stringent the actors' requirements for the script. For a movie like "Charlotte Annoyance", the box office of a movie is enough to be worth several movies made by other people.

So for Lin Yuan's demanding attitude, Miss Xia is quite supportive.

"Then I'll trouble Sister Xia to keep an eye on it for me. I have to think about this script."

Lin Yuan decided to put the script aside. Anyway, there are still two or three months before filming will start. If there is no suitable movie in these two months, it will not be too late for him to take over the script.

As soon as he finished speaking with sister Xia, the phone in his pocket rang.

Turning on the screen, the caller ID showed the words "Director Chen Sichen". Lin Yuan connected the call without thinking too much.

"Hello, Director Chen?"

"Yuan, come out and have a meal together later? It's just you, me, Baoqiang, Xiao Yang, and Chen Chichi." Chen Sichen's voice came from the phone.

When he was answering the phone, Lin Yuan was still wondering why Chen Sichen suddenly thought of calling him, but after hearing Chen Sichen say that Baoqiang, Xiao Yang, and Chen Chichi were called out for dinner together, Lin Yuan guessed it all at once. It must be related to the movie "Tang Detective".

Lin Yuan readily agreed: "No problem, Director Chen, you can post a location in the group later, and I will be there on time!"

"Okay, then it's settled, I'll contact Xiao Yang and Chen Chichi right now."

After receiving Lin Yuan's reply, Chen Sichen didn't say anything polite, and was busy contacting the other two before simply hanging up the phone.

Not long after, the wechat group received a location from Chen Sichen.

Lin Yuan sat in the company for a while, and after talking about the movie script, seeing that it was almost time, he asked his assistant to send him to Chen Sichen.

When Lin Yuan entered the box, Wang Baoqiang had already arrived.

"Brother Baoqiang, Director Chen, long time no see." Lin Yuan greeted the two warmly.

Chen Sichen waved his hand: "You're welcome, sit down, Xiao Yang and Chen Chichi should be coming soon."

Sure enough, not a while after Chen Sichen finished speaking, the two arrived at the box one after another.

Tang Tan's starring lineup is basically complete. As for why one Yaya is missing, it's obviously because Director Chen is planning to have some entertainment together after dinner.

Everyone has arrived, and each of them exchanged pleasantries and chatted about the current situation. At this time, Chen Sichen got up and toasted several leading actors: "The movie release time has been set, this month's NO. I have already contacted, the premiere on the night of the 30th, if you are free, I still hope to come over."

"Director Chen, look at what you said, we are all brothers, even if you don't have time, you have to make time to come here, right?"

"Cooperating with the publicity is the right thing to do. Just make a phone call and spend money to treat us to a meal. It seems that Director Chen treats us as outsiders!"

In fact, when Chen Sichen called, Lin Yuan guessed that it was about the release of the movie.

As a leading actor, it is natural to promote the movie he made. Even if Chen Sichen didn't say anything, Lin Yuan would try his best to promote it after he knew that the movie was about to be released.

Therefore, no one refused Chen Sichen's request, and everyone present readily agreed.

From their point of view, the premieres are all at night, no matter how busy they are, they can always spare some time at night.

Seeing that the leading actors on the scene agreed, Chen Sichen felt relieved a lot, and invited everyone to drink and eat.

After a few rounds of wine, everyone's conversation box can be said to have been completely opened up.

When chatting to the fullest, Chen Sichen began to complain about the movie submission.

The filming of "Tang Detective" was finished as early as last year. After filming the film, it took almost a month to edit the video. Get the Longbiao Birth Certificate before the scheduled date.

It's a pity that what I was afraid of would happen, and there was a little accident in the middle.

Although the matter was not serious, after such a delay, the release time of the movie was also affected.

There are two choices before the movie "Tang Detective". One is to release it at the end of the Spring Festival schedule. The meat will not be eaten, but you can drink a mouthful of soup during the Spring Festival schedule. The other is to wait a few more months until It will be released on May [-]st.

In line with the idea that he would rather be a chicken head than a phoenix tail, Chen Sichen could only choose to release it in May 30st, which is NO.[-] at the end of this month.

Hearing this, everyone couldn't help sighing. The film market during the Spring Festival period is obviously better than that during the May [-]st period. Originally, this movie might be able to compete for the box office champion during the Spring Festival period, but now it seems that it can only compete with The May [-]st movie is on the same stage.

When this matter was mentioned, Chen Sichen was so angry that he drank a few glasses of wine.

After listening to Chen Sichen's complaint, Lin Yuan also opened his mouth to comfort: "Director Chen, don't be angry, you also know the quality of the movies in the Spring Festival. They are either IP sequels or adaptations. We don't know the tastes of the audience. How will the box office be able to win in the end?" No one can say for sure how much, but May [-]st is different, our movie will be released on May [-]st, it will be a unique show."

Xiao Yang, Chen Chichi, and Wang Baoqiang at the dinner table couldn't help nodding their heads in agreement when they heard these words.

The current film market is basically divided into four periods.

The best is the Spring Festival, followed by the summer vacation and the National Day, and the last one is the May [-]st.

Generally, movies that are sure about box office competition will focus on the Spring Festival schedule, and no matter how bad they are, they will choose to be released during the summer vacation and National Day. Only the May [-]st movie market has the least competitive pressure.

Chen Sichen knew that Lin Yuan was comforting himself, but after hearing this sentence, he didn't know what to say for a while.

After deciding to release the film on May [-]st, Chen Sichen also quickly contacted various theaters, preparing to fight for the number of films.

When contacting the film schedule, he found that there are a total of ten films released in the May [-]st schedule this year, and five of them are capable of competing for the box office champion of the schedule, namely "Meeting in Seattle" and "Phantom of the Magic Palace". , "Dream Partner", "Da Tang Xuanzang" and the imported foreign film "Fantasy Forest".

"Da Tang Xuanzang" and "Fantasy Forest" are the least competitive, so they can be ignored for the time being.

However, the box office of the previous film "Meeting the Best Love Letter in Seattle" was 5 million. The box office is expected to be at least 81 million yuan. In the end, "Dream Partner" is also the target film "Chinese Partner", and invited such a star lineup as Yao Chen, Wang Yibo, Li Chen, and Tang Yan.

It's really not easy to fight in this May [-]st movie.

And because of this, Chen Sichen invited all the leading actors, the purpose is to hope that they will attend the premiere and strive for more box office.

Seeing that Chen Sichen hadn't come out of his anger, Lin Yuan patted Director Chen on the shoulder, and whispered in his ear: "Director Chen, think about what movies will be released in June, May [-]st is already very good .”

Hearing this, Chen Sichen raised his head and thought for a while, then shivered all over.

It will be released in May, and he is still confident that he can compare with the movies of the same period, but not in June.

What movies are coming out in June?
"Warcraft", "Now You See Me 2", "X-Men".
Not to mention these movies, even cartoons such as "Finding Nemo 2" released in the same month, the box office competitiveness is no less than his Tang Tan.

It's not that you want others to destroy your prestige, but that those foreigners are really good at making commercial movies, and the movie "Tang Detective" is also released for the first time. It is neither an IP adaptation nor a continuation of a series of movies. No one knows whether the audience will buy it or not.

After figuring this out, Chen Sichen immediately regained his fighting spirit.

Those foreign big IP commercial films can't do it for the time being, can't they also make domestic films of the same schedule?

With this in mind, Chen Sichen directly filled the wine glass, stood up and toasted: "Come on, drink, let's take this as an advance wish for a big box office sale!!!"

Seeing that Director Chen had regained his fighting spirit, several people also stood up and clinked glasses, and drank all the wine in their hands in one gulp.

It took almost an hour to eat a meal, and finally ended in the drunken conversation of several people.

Originally, Chen Sichen planned to have some entertainment after eating, but after hearing Lin Yuan's words, he completely dismissed his idea.

He likes to play well, but he is also very concerned about his career.

Now the competition in the domestic film and television market is already very fierce. In addition, he has to prevent the impact of these foreign commercial films. If he does not start the movie "Tang Detective" as soon as possible, I am afraid that "Tang Detective 2" will be filmed in the future. , "Tang Detective 3" box office will not be much higher.

After coming out of the hotel box, Chen Sichen also bid farewell to several leading actors one by one, and immediately began to use his relationship to prepare to promote the movie well before the movie.

Lin Yuan returned to the apartment with the help of his assistant.

Regarding the promotion of the movie, he plans to wait until he wakes up tomorrow before posting a Weibo post. As for the big promotion, there is really no need for that.

One is that Chen Sichen did not say such things, and the other is that Chen Sichen has a lot of influence in the industry. If a director like him wants to promote a movie, it should not be too easy.

In this way, the time came the next morning.

After waking up from his sleep, Lin Yuan washed up and sat directly on the sofa. Just when he was about to post a Weibo post to promote the movie "Tang Detective", he saw that "Tang Detective" hadn't been released yet The movie has been on the hot search list.

The ranking is not very high, but the number of clicks on the topic is quite a lot.

【Lucky and lucky, laugh till the end!The movie "Detective Chinatown" starring Wang Baoqiang and Lin Yuan will be released soon! 】

[The wonderful combination with comedy elements makes suspense detective films bloom different flowers]

Even on the headlines of major portal websites, the slogans about "Tang Detective" almost scrolled across the screen.

Seeing this scene, Lin Yuan couldn't help feeling emotional. From these topics, it is not difficult to see that Chen Sichen spent a lot of money to promote this movie!
After witnessing it, Lin Yuan also posted a Weibo update, then put his phone aside, and began to prepare for the premiere later.

The days passed in a flash.

With Chen Sichen's desperate publicity, the time has come to the day of the premiere.

On this day, Chen Sichen not only invited them, but also invited some friends in his circle to fight in the ring.

But this is also normal, Tang Tan is the first leading movie in his life for him.

In this era of actors transforming into directors, every transforming actor hopes to have a good start, not for making money, but for proving, proving that he is capable, and proving that he is not acting recklessly.

If the first movie of the transformation hits the street, losing money is a small matter, but losing talent is a big matter! ! ! !
　Ask for a monthly pass!
