The Wind of China Entertainment 2005

Chapter 597 Seven Days
"The Avengers are defeated!"

"At the invitation of Feng Xiaogang, Lu Yuan and Liu Shishi appeared at the premiere press conference of 1942. Lu Yuan said it was a good movie."

"Wanda announced that it has reached a new profit-sharing agreement with "1942" and "Chinese Zodiac". Xingmei was stabbed in the back. Lu Chuan said at the press conference that she is not afraid of "1942"."

"Industry insiders analyzed that it is unlikely that the revenue sharing ratio will change much from now on."

"."

The next day, Huayi rebelled, forcing Star Media to reconcile. The news that the distributor was completely defeated caused a lot of discussion in and out of the industry.

The victory of the theaters is a heavy blow to many producers and distribution companies.

Several consecutive failures have made them realize that if they lose this time, it will be almost impossible to compete with theaters in the future.

This year, the five major distributors hold several blockbusters, control the film sources, and make unexpected moves.

This put the cinema chains led by Wanda in a passive position and they were indeed in the control in the early stages.

Now that the incident has come to an end, in order to avoid repeating the same mistakes, theaters will inevitably intervene in film and television production, produce and sell their own products, and will no longer give China Film and others any chances.

Due to the power of Huayi, people in the industry did not dare to complain openly, but they secretly cursed Wang Zhonglei several times.

This is no different from a traitor or a traitor.

When "1942" and "The Banquet" were fighting each other.

Lu Yuan returned to the crew of "Chinese Partners" and continued filming the movie.

"Chinese Partners" tells the story of three people - Cheng Dongqing, Meng Xiaojun and Wang Yang, who started a business together.

All men's dreams are often caused by women.

Cheng Dongqing's role mainly revolves around his three stages of study, life and entrepreneurship.

When he first entered college, he met his first girlfriend, who is also the only girlfriend in the script - Su Mei.

This girl changed his life.

Cheng Dongqing is full of fantasies about love. With the help of his two good brothers, he tries every possible way to pursue the goddess in his heart.

Although he knew there was a huge gap between him and Su Mei, he just wouldn't let go.

The ideal love in his mind is to give up everything for love, and he really did that.

Robert Frost said: "It takes a mother 20 years to raise a man; it takes a woman 20 minutes to raise a man."

Cheng Dongqing is one of such people.

His series of actions finally touched Su Mei, and they finally got together.

Cheng Dongqing gained the kind of selfless love he had always believed in, and also gained the confidence and courage he had never had before.

Then Sumei successfully got a visa, went to the United States, found a new boyfriend, and had sex with the foreigner by the lake.

The poor Cheng Dongqing was dumped gorgeously, got cuckolded, and lost his job because he was discovered by the school for running a cram school privately.

Faced with a double blow to his career and love, he had no choice but to pull his brother Wang Yang to start a business.

More than ten years later, Cheng Dongqing became successful and met Su Mei again. This time she was a married woman with a child, a mixed-race child.

This is a high-end coffee shop. Lu Yuan and Du Juan are sitting face to face on a sofa each.

Du Juan was accompanied by a little boy who was staring at the camera foolishly, and the two looked at each other.

Lu Yuan's lips trembled slightly as he stared at Su Mei, as if he wanted to question something but couldn't say it. He just stared at Su Mei and her child in a daze. Then, he lowered his head and smiled bitterly. His eyes turned red and he turned his head away to hold back the tears.

With a set of smooth movements, he perfectly portrayed the anger, sadness, grief, relief and letting go when meeting his ex-girlfriend again.

The cuckoo is.
"Card!"

Behind the camera, Chen Kexin reminded again: "Su Mei, why are you hiding? Look straight at him!"

He chose Du Juan to act because he was actually attracted by her temperament.

Cold, aloof from the world, with a strong sense of distance, and a kind of indifferent and aloof elite style, coupled with a sense of self-awareness and an "I love whoever I want" look that is not affected by worldly evaluation, the sense of sophistication is effortless and natural!
But the other party's performance did not satisfy him.

Du Juan stood up hurriedly and said guiltily, "I'm sorry, Director. I don't know what happened. Once I met Teacher Lu's eyes, I subconsciously wanted to avoid him."

Du Juan complained in her heart. She was just a small model. She faced Lu Yuan on her first filming. It was like waving a sword in front of Guan Gong and she was powerless to resist.

She even suspected that Lu Yuan had really been dumped by his girlfriend and had this experience.

How else to explain it? The moment they looked at each other, there was a hint of sadness, a hint of unwillingness, a hint of memories in each other's eyes. The fleeting smile when the last tear flowed was full of self-mockery and helplessness.

She felt inexplicably guilty and thought that the character Su Mei she played was a good-for-nothing. She left Cheng Dongqing alone and ran away to a foreign country.

Oh my God, she's going crazy. How can an actor continue to act when he or she starts to hate his or her own role?

"Take a rest." Chen Kexin waved his hand helplessly and said, "Su Mei, come with me."

Du Juan walked up to Lu Yuan, bent down to apologize, and went to accept Chen Kexin's guidance.

"Huh!" Lu Yuan sat on the sofa and relaxed, then stood up, walked to the monitor and turned on the playback.

Du Kefeng is a director of photography who likes to operate the camera himself.

Before this, he had already created many excellent photographic works, such as "In the Mood for Love" and "Chungking Express".

So his shots have a bit of literary style.

There are two scenes of Su Mei and Cheng Dongqing's reunion. They first meet in the elevator and then meet in a coffee shop to reminisce.

Lu Yuan is now watching the elevator encounter scene that has already been filmed.

The arrangement of this shot is very interesting. Cheng Dongqing takes the descending elevator from top to bottom, and Su Mei takes the ascending elevator with the children from bottom to top.

Cheng Dongqing was dressed in a suit and tie, with his hands in his pockets. At first, he looked down at Su Mei, who was already a mother, with a condescending attitude.

Su Mei is no longer the aloof and dull schoolgirl she used to be. She now looks much more mature and calm.

Their eyes met, and then Cheng Dongqing turned around and looked up at Su Mei as the escalator went down further and further.

The two elevators went in different directions, crossing each other as if they were once infinitely close, but in the end they could not come together because of their different directions.

At that moment, the sense of fate was overwhelming.

When Lu Yun pinched his chin and clicked his tongue at the camera, Huang Xiaoming approached with an English dictionary.

"Junior brother, have you ever really been heartbroken? Tell me about it. I won't laugh at you."

In the scene just now, there was no dialogue between Cheng Dongqing and Su Mei. They just looked at each other from time to time. The crying scene was very short, with only one tear, but it made him vaguely find his own shadow.

Lu Yuan waved his hand: "No, I haven't had a broken heart since kindergarten."

"Is it true?" Huang Xiaoming didn't believe it.

"Have you ever been heartbroken?"

"How is that possible? I'm so handsome! All the girls are chasing me." Huang Xiaoming looked very arrogant.

Lu Yuan raised his eyebrows: "Brother, no matter how successful and awesome a man is, when he meets his first love, he will become humble, even humble. No matter what Su Mei is like, she is Cheng Dongqing's first love. In fact, I have real references for playing this role, and there are examples around me."

"Aside?"

Huang Xiaoming was puzzled and looked around: "Where is it?"

Noticing that Lu Yuan's eyes were lingering on him, he said anxiously, "No, what are you looking at me for?"

Lu Yuan deliberately dragged his tone and teased, "This example is like senior brother and Zhao." "Stop, stop, stop, brother, you are my brother, I was wrong." Huang Xiaoming begged for mercy, he shouldn't have dragged this guy to talk about secret love in the first place.

Lu Yuan glanced at the dictionary in his hand.

The character Meng Xiaojun has to speak English a lot in the play, which gives Huang Xiaoming a headache.

His English was not very good to begin with, and although he prepared for a long time before filming began, after the actual filming, because of his Qingdao English accent, Chen Kexin still chose to have him do the dubbing in post-production.

He imitated his accent and joked, "Brother, repeat after me. It's too much~"

Double Kill!

Huang Xiaoming really wanted to find a corner to draw circles.

Sin ah.

Hong Kong, Central Building.

Ying Huangyang stood in front of the window, holding his cell phone, with a smile on his face.

"Brother Lu, no problem, these are just small matters."

"Forget about the meal. Do you want to make a cameo appearance? It depends on your schedule. Okay, we'll talk about it later."

After ending the call, he walked to his desk and sat down.

In recent days, everyone has been keeping an eye on "The Banquet", which is distributed in Hong Kong by Yinghuang.

Unexpectedly, Lu Yuan called and asked about matters related to "One Man's Martial Arts" and hoped to arrange a role for Liu Shishi.

Of course he had no problem with it, and agreed without hesitation, and decided to let Chen Desen revise the script as soon as possible.

The exchange of interests is common in the entertainment industry. He has been actively in contact with the mainland. The role of Charlene Choi in "New World" was what he wanted. The Hong Kong distribution of this drama is also handled by Yinghuang.

Besides, Liu Shishi’s popularity cannot be underestimated, so joining the team will do no harm.

It's a pity that Lu Yuan did not agree to perform, otherwise it would be possible to replace Zhen Zidan.

While he was thinking, another person in the office was fidgeting.

"Uncle, please take a look at my script and see if you can invest in it."

Mai Junlong got up from the sofa, rushed to the desk in two steps, supported her hands on the table, and looked anxious.

Mak Junlong has an average appearance, is tall and thin, has a long face, and has a big bald head. She is mocked by the media as a "gorilla", but she has a profound background.

Because his father's name is Mai Shaotang.

Who is Mai Shaotong? He is the boss of China Construction Telecom and one of the top 20 richest people in Hong Kong.

Liu Dehua founded Tianmu Film Company in the early 90s, but the company's box office performance has been poor and it has faced financial pressure.

So he persuaded telecommunications tycoon Mak Siu Tong to invest in Tianmu Company in the hope of reversing the situation.

However, Mai Shaotang's joining did not bring the expected turning point, but instead exacerbated internal conflicts.

In the end, Mai Shaotang kicked Liu Dehua out of Tianmu on the grounds that he violated the shareholder agreement, and wanted to ban Liu Dehua from participating in all performances, including the filming of "Infernal Affairs".

Later, it was Media Asia Films' Peter Lam who stepped in to mediate and ease the conflict.

Therefore, Junlong Mak is the prince in Hong Kong, but this prince yearns for the entertainment industry, singing, acting, and is also a romantic.

When the Chen photography incident broke out, he was Gillian's current boyfriend. Upon learning about this, he stood behind Gillian without hesitation.

But Gillian said in an interview with the media that she loves Chen's photography more.

Mai Junlong's mentality collapsed, and she broke up with the other party.

"Uncle, please say something."

Ying Huang and Mai Shaotong had business dealings, so it was not excessive for Mai Junlong to call him uncle, but he had no intention of opening the script at all and just leaned back in his chair.

"The company is short of funds. Why don't you try out for Edko Films, One Culture, or Universal Pictures? If that doesn't work, go find Andy Lau. When he and your father had a falling out, you stood on his side and spoke up for him."

“He doesn’t have enough money.”

“How much do you plan to invest in this play?”

“3000 million Hong Kong dollars!” Junlong Mak opened her mouth loudly.

"Come on, this kind of movie costs 3000 million, you think I'm an amateur? You better tell the truth."

"Hehe." Mai Junlong touched his bald head and said shyly, "At least 1500 million."

Yang continued to stare at him expressionlessly.

“Okay, okay, 1200 million. I also have to hire people from Japan, special effects, and all that stuff. This is already the lowest.” Juno Mak admitted.

"Just like your father."

He made a joke and then got straight to the point: "I won't beat around the bush. Your script can't be shown there and won't pass the review. If it's only shown in Hong Kong, it might only make a few million at the box office, or tens of millions at best. Even if you add the box office in Southeast Asia, it's hard to make back the money. Isn't that a loss? Who would dare to invest? I wouldn't dare anyway. Why don't you ask your dad to give it a try?"

“I won’t look for him.” Mak Junlong said with a sullen face. He didn’t even sign with his own company when he debuted, and wanted to break into the entertainment industry with his own talent.

"Unless you're willing to change the script," he suggested.

Junlong Mak refused without hesitation: "What's the point of changing it? I originally wanted to pay tribute to Lin Zhengying and Xu Guanying in this movie."

"Then you figure it out yourself."

Mai Junlong walked around for a while, then remembered something and asked curiously, "Uncle, who did you call just now?"

"Lu Yuan."

"Him." Mai Junlong had naturally heard of the other party's name.

The two of them are about the same age, and compared to them, he is not good at anything.

He debuted as a singer, but netizens said he was tone-deaf. He also failed to make any waves as an actor, so he had to retreat behind the scenes and switch to being a director. He had connections in all the film and television companies in the circle, but he still failed to make a name for himself.

Hearing him ask this, Yang Qing exclaimed, and then had some ideas. He frowned and said, "Why don't you show him this script?"

"Why show him?"

"Of course I asked him for investment. He set up a star project in the mainland and invested in many low-budget films. You know Lost in Thailand? He invested in it."

Mai Junlong stared at him with a strange look: "Uncle, are you getting senile?"

"Hey, you poor guy, how can you talk like that!" Yang stood up and pretended to kick him.

Mai Junlong picked up the teacup on the table with a smile, helped to refill the glass of water, bent over, and acted cute.

"You just said that this movie can't be shown there, what's the point of me looking for him?"

“If it can’t be shown in theaters, you can try other channels.”

“What do you mean by other channels?”

"Streaming media!" He picked up the script on the table, swung it in the air, and threw it back into Mai Junlong's arms.

Not many people in the circle knew about Lu Yuan's acquisition of PPS, and coincidentally, he was one of them.

Mak Junlong took the script like a treasure, her eyes fixed on the name on the cover: "Seven Days of Rebirth".
