Actor: My Entertainment Era

Chapter 523 Walking the cake

Hot-faced but cold-hearted is what many insiders say about Liu Yifei after getting along with her.

Liu Yifei has always been a person who is easy to get close to, but extremely difficult to get close to.

She is polite and friendly to everyone, but it is difficult for most people to get along with her.

When she is on the set, her work is work. She rarely adds a private WeChat account with her rival actors to facilitate contact. When her work is over, her relationship with you is over.

Many people say this is the "alienation of a superstar". Liu Yifei has it, Leonardo has it, and Zhang Yuanjun has it too.

They are obviously very polite, but you just feel that there is a distance between you and them.

Zhang Yuanjun also often said that his wife has a bit of a cold nature.

Guangxian tried to use "Pieces of a Woman" as a swindle. Liu Yifei knew the whole story, but she didn't seem to feel guilty about the other actors or blame herself.

It is now called walking cakes, but it used to be called hype. It is a very common publicity method in the industry. When Yang Guo and Xiao Longnu were cast in "The Legend of the Condor Heroes", how many actors did they walk!

This trick is old, but it really works.

A prerequisite for walking a pie is that your pie is really big and really attractive!

So Guangxian's first step is to recruit Liu Yifei to make the "Pieces of a Woman" bigger. With Liu Yifei here, it will definitely be a good show.

Liu Yifei alone is not enough. Li Xiaoping, vice president of Guangxian, responded at an event: "Actually, this film should not have been announced so early. It was a mistake by our company's programmers to put the poster up in advance. In fact, this is a film and it is normal. It is a literary film, and as a producer, we are still looking for a suitable director for the film."

"Is there a suitable candidate?"

Li Xiaoping smiled and said: "The most suitable candidate in our minds is director Zhang Yimou."

I don’t know if she was joking, but the headlines on the entertainment page were there.

"The glamorous new film plans to invite Zhang Yimou, Liu Yifei may be able to fulfill her wish"

Liu Yifei has expressed her love and respect for Director Zhang in public more than once.

"Pieces of a Woman" is a literary and artistic film. If a literary and artistic film wants to make a big splash, it must tie in with great actors and directors.

Liu Yifei must be silent on this kind of hype. Director Zhang's "Return" has just started shooting, and he has no time to respond to this kind of news.

Besides, which sentence was Li Xiaoping wrong?

What she said was that Guangxian thought Zhang Yimou was the most suitable, but she didn't say that Zhang Yimou would be invited to take the photo. It was the media who said the invitation was planned!

After bringing on top actors and top directors, Guangxian still felt that the pie of "Pieces of a Woman" was not big enough, so he began to gild the pie.

"Recently, Kwang Hsien chairman Wang Changtian met with the Asian director of MK2, the world's largest art theater chain, in Beijing. Afterwards, the relevant person in charge of Kwum Hsien revealed that the two parties are negotiating on a new film. According to reporters, the film for the cooperation between the two parties should be "Pieces of a Woman" has been hotly discussed by fans recently. MK2 is the world's largest art film theater chain and maintains a very friendly relationship with various art film festivals around the world, especially the three major European film festivals. MK2's most important domestic partners are Director Jia Zhangke and actor Zhang Yuanjun, many of their films were directly financed by MK2, or MK2 was responsible for overseas distribution and copyright operations. It can be said that MK2 is the most important promoter of global art films."

"'Pieces of a Woman' became a hit before it was even filmed, so I booked my seat at Cannes!"

"Recently, former Venice Film Festival chairman Mark Mueller said in an interview that he is willing to invite the crew of "Pieces of a Woman" to the Rome Film Festival in advance."

"'Pieces of a Woman' has been greatly favored by international film producers, and booking fees have been lenient."

Anyway, in one sentence, give "Pieces of a Woman" as much gold as possible, and the actors, directors, and awards will all go up.

Guangxian also pays great attention to the rhythm of the cake walking, and Liu Yifei will not be left alone.

Within two days, Li Xiaoping said again: "Liu Yifei is too young. The heroine of the movie is a middle-aged woman. We prefer to find a capable actress in her thirties or forties." After the previous rounds of marketing, "Pieces of a Woman" The popularity has already been aroused. As soon as Li Xiaoping said this, the eyes of the circle focused on Sidan Shuangbing, who best met the requirements.

Does this trick sound familiar?

When Zhang Dabeard "brushed off" Liu Yifei, he also said she was too young.

Except for Fan, the other people in Sidan Shuangbing didn't have much traffic, so Guangxian turned his attention to the traffic flowers.

Saying that "Pieces of a Woman" still lacks many actors, Yang Mi is very good.

Yang Mi is currently playing the role of the Chinese princess Lian on the set of "The Last War" and ignored Gwang Ming for a while.

But Yang Mi’s fans responded on her behalf. Yang Mi's fans are very domineering, two words, no acting!

"After a three-no movie, Liu Yifei touches Yang Mi."

"Let's really invite Zhang Yimou here before we talk!"

"Don't touch it. Yang Mi's film schedule for the next two years is full, and she has no time to take on literary films."

But "Pieces of a Woman" has attracted attention, and this is what Guangming wants.

Liu Yifei ignored this and couldn't interfere. She was too busy.

But no matter how busy she was, she still came to Qingdao on the 22nd to support Wanda.

In the name of the richest man, Mr. Wang invested 300 billion to build the Oriental Movie Capital. Today is the groundbreaking ceremony. "The Master of Hypnosis" and "The Secret of the Dragon" are both produced by Wanda, so it's only natural for Liu Yifei to give them a shout-out.

The ceremony was as star-studded as any other film festival.

On the foreign side, Leonardo is here, Nicole Kidman is here, and Kate Beckinsale is here.

There are also current Oscar Academy Chairman Cheryl Boone Isaacs, former Chairman Hawke Cook, CEO Dawn Hudson, and film companies such as Sony, Universal, Lionsgate, and Weinstein have all sent at least Executives at the vice president level came to participate in today's ceremony.

There are also a lot of celebrities coming from China.

Liu Yifei knew that Leonardo paid to walk the red carpet, and the car was parked at the end of the red carpet. After walking the red carpet, he would get in the car and go to the airport to leave.

Liu Yifei didn't get paid, but she still wanted to do this. The crew of "Miss Bai" had a lot of things waiting for her.

On the red carpet in the evening, Zeng Maojun personally invited her and asked her to come to Qingdao half a day in advance to attend the event.

There was a forum event that afternoon, the name of which was "Secrets of Celebrities' Making Money", which was dedicated to discussing the management and remuneration of celebrities.

Liu Yifei, as the most popular actor in China and the most successful overseas actor, of course has to go on stage to share her views.

She has to face the executives of the four major brokerage companies in North America, as well as the two bosses of Guangxian and Huayi in China, and three other actors.

When talking about the question of "whether an actor's high net worth should be responsible for the box office?", Zhang Ziyi, who was on the same stage, said that there are many factors that affect the box office, and the box office responsibility should not be left to the actors in such a single way.

But Liu Yifei clearly believes that actors need to be responsible for the box office:

"...Because you do as much work as you get," Fei Yanfei said online. "The crew gives you a high salary, which includes your responsibility for the box office. If it wasn't for the box office, why would I spend so much money on you? What? Of course, what Ziyi just said makes sense. There are many factors that affect the box office, but the audience is watching you as an actor, so if the box office is high, the actor will benefit. If the box office is low, the actor must also be responsible."

When talking about the standards for selecting Chinese actors in Hollywood, the four major agencies certainly have good words and say that everyone is treated equally.

But Liu Yifei and Zhang Ziyi looked at each other and saw disdain in each other's eyes. (End of chapter)
