Actor: My Entertainment Era

Chapter 325

The launch of "Space Traveler" attracted a lot of attention from the outside world.

This is the first time Zhang and Liu have collaborated since they officially announced their relationship.

Still a romance.

One of the producers, Wang Changtian, CEO of Guangxian Pictures, responded to reporters: "It will not be easy to promote cooperation just because the two are a couple. In fact, we spent a lot of energy to promote this cooperation. Because the two People are very busy, flying around the country and abroad, so it’s difficult to get together to film.”

"It's not just a matter of money." Wang Changtian refused to disclose the two people's remuneration. "The two people's work is relatively independent. We have to convince them separately."

"But we finally brokered this cooperation. It will indeed look better in terms of publicity, but I think it will be more reflected in the story of the movie. I believe everyone will like it."

"Everyone can see this movie in theaters during the Lunar New Year holiday as early as this year."

On the day of the launch, of course I had to brag: ""Space Traveler" will definitely be the best romantic movie this year."

Chief screenwriter Li Qiang said something very tragic at the launch scene: "I may never be able to write such a love story again."

The words of the producer and screenwriter were interpreted by the media as targeting the upcoming production of "Hawthorn Tree Love".

"Hawthorn Love" has been billed as "the purest love story in history" since the beginning of preparation. The film has been confirmed to start shooting next month.

Literally speaking, the marketing directions of the two films actually do not overlap.

Moreover, it is a default unspoken rule in the industry for films of the same type to be marketed together.

But Zhang Weiping felt that "Space Traveler" was riding on his popularity.

On the second day after "Space Traveler" was launched, he said in an interview with reporters: "We are incomparable!"

But after all, there was no grudge between the two families, and his words were not that unpleasant, but it did not stop him from bragging at all: ""Hawthorn Tree" will definitely set a new box office record for domestic romance films."

While boasting about movies, he also acted like a senior: "Among the young actors nowadays, the one I admire most is Zhang Yuanjun. This young man is very smart."

The reporter handed over a sentence at the right time: "Would you consider cooperating with him?"

"Definitely." Zhang Weiping gave an affirmative answer, "I have been recommending Zhang Yuanjun to Yimou in the past few years, but the director of Yimou has his own considerations in casting, so he has never been used. However, Yimou also said that he likes this very much. As a young actor, I hope there will be a suitable film to work with."

Zhang Yuanjun would not believe every word that Zhang Weiping said about supporting the underachievers.

So he will not respond to Zhang Weiping's words.

This is the disadvantage of winning the Best Actor Award too early. Zhang Yuanjun is clearly at the top of the pyramid in terms of awards, but many people still regard him as a young actor in a general sense.

He used the airs of his seniors both inside and outside his words, saying that he could "support Xiao Zhang".

It was as if it was Zhang Yuanjun's honor to cooperate with them.

But in fact, in terms of awards, box office, and fan traffic, Zhang Yuanjun would not be said to be high-flying if he joins any director's crew in China, even Zhang Yimou's crew.

Zhang Yuanjun had not interfered with the casting of "Space Traveler" until he joined the cast. After seeing the actors selected under the leadership of Liu Yifei, he was angry and funny.

"It's difficult for me to deal with the fact that you choose actors for personal gain." Zhang Yuanjun finished the first day of filming. After the two returned to the hotel, they severely accused Liu Yifei of misconduct.

"What's wrong with the actors I chose?" Liu Yifei thought in advance that Zhang Yuanjun would "attack" herself with the casting choice.

"It's okay if you ask Xiao Shu to play my sister." Zhang Yuanjun followed Liu Yifei and called Xiao Shu or Changchang, "The other actors, Liu Peiqi, Wu Yujuan, Han Tongsheng, and Ma Shuliang, are all from your theater!"

The four important middle-aged and elderly characters in "Space Traveler" were all given Mandarin by Liu Yifei.

"If our dean knows this, he will definitely blame me. You still have the nerve to smile." Zhang Yuanjun pinched Liu Yifei.

"Who told you not to choose actors? If you want me to choose, I will do so." Liu Yifei was still laughing, "Your theater has a lot of people, so I can't hire them. Besides, aren't the actors I selected good?"

Zhang Yuanjun said nothing. "It's enough if the show is good, and it's cheap." Liu Yifei doesn't care about him. Is it not nepotism or nepotism?Of course the actors should find ones they are familiar with.

Liu Yifei also reminded Zhang Yuanjun: "I told Xiao Shu that you gave her that role."

"Yeah." Zhang Yuanjun responded.

Zhang Yuanjun was very average to Shu Chang and did not treat her well just because she was Liu Yifei's best friend.

I really don’t blame Zhang Yuanjun, this girl is really capable.

After signing the contract and getting paid for the first period of filming, he disappeared from the set for a month to film. The crew could not find anyone, which led to a lawsuit between the two parties.

Her agent negotiated a film contract for her. She bypassed her agent and contacted the producer privately, saying that she could take the film at a low price, just to avoid giving her agent a share. The agent was so angry that she scolded her for being ungrateful.

These two things about Shu Chang were widely spread in the circle and were very popular.

To put it bluntly, the former is illegal and the latter goes against professional ethics.

After these two incidents, Zhang Yuanjun did not dare to film with her easily.

However, she seems to have had no shortage of filming in the past two years, and there are always TV series looking for her.

But the fire is really not burning anymore.

Liu Yifei knew the reason why Zhang Yuanjun was so cold towards Shu Chang, and just said: "I was ignorant at that time, and that's all in the past."

"I have nothing to say." Zhang Yuanjun was helpless to this girl.

The two also talked about the post-production of "Inception".

"I knew it was almost finished, but I really don't know exactly how far it has gone," Zhang Yuanjun said. "But the premiere date has been set, July 7, in London."

"How can such a science fiction blockbuster be completed in post-production so quickly?" "Inception" was completed in October last year, and now it's almost completed in less than half a year.

Zhang Yuanjun glanced at Liu Yifei: "You're so stupid, forget it." Zhang Yuanjun stood up and packed his clothes to take a shower. "'Inception' only had 500 special effects shots, which is not as many as 'Batman', but of course it's faster."

Liu Yifei patted her head: "Ah, yes, yes. I was so busy that I forgot that Nolan is a real-life shooting fanatic." She turned over as she spoke.

"What are you doing?"

"I'm taking a shower."

"I'll wash first."

"Wash together."

"No."

"My aunt left yesterday." Liu Yifei said as she turned and went into the bathroom. "Shower or bath? Take a bath. I'm very tired after a day of shooting. I'll let the water go."

Liu Yifei came out wrapped in a bathrobe, took two bottles of beer from the wine cabinet in the room and went back in.

"You're still drinking." Liu Yifei was testing the water temperature when Zhang Yuanjun entered.

"If you don't drink, take a beer bath."

“Can I take a bath with beer?”

"Beer bath can whiten and smooth the skin." Liu Yifei took off her bathrobe and took a shower first, "Help me rub my back."

The next day, the two showed up on the set with a cup of coffee each.
