Actor: My Entertainment Era

Liu Yifei recently received some very happy news.

The project of "Pacific Rim 2" has been approved, and Toro, the director of the previous film, is working on it with the original crew.

Toro rejected Thomas Tull's proposal for a prequel and insisted on making a sequel.

The appointment of Toro made Liu Yifei, as the heroine of the first movie, feel that she has a high possibility of staying in "Pacific Rim 2".

Of course, Liu Yifei also knows that such a huge investment project is extremely risky, and Director Toro is famous in Hollywood for causing trouble for film companies. While she was glad that the second film project was approved, she also secretly prayed in her heart, hoping that If the project can go forward smoothly, I hope Toro can contact me soon.

Except for the original creator and some media who pay special attention to the behind-the-scenes work, almost no one knows about the project of "Pacific Rim 2", and it naturally does not stir up much excitement in the outside world.

Domestic movie fans have no way of knowing.

They are busy eating melon.

"Good man" Chen He did not draw the curtains and was accused of cheating on him. He later posted "I was wrong" and admitted that he and his wife had agreed to divorce in September last year.

The whole article does not mention the "cheating" partner Zhang Zixuan.

This matter is not as simple as lying to deceive the audience, but the audience seems to know for the first time in this matter that in order to maintain their character and make money, celebrities can even act out the relationship between husband and wife!
Chen He divorced in September last year. Logically speaking, the relationship between the two broke up before then. At this time last year, the two also recorded a couple reality show together and participated in many couple programs together, talking nonsense and talking. Loving.

It turns out these are all fake.

It seems that starting from Chen He, domestic entertainment audiences began to generally question the relationship between celebrity couples.

I don’t like anyone, and I always feel that “they will divorce sooner or later”, “maybe they divorced a long time ago, but they just didn’t make it public”, “they each play their own way”, “they divorced a long time ago, but their interests are too deeply tied, and they still have to make money together” ".

It cannot be said that the Chen He incident was a negative marketing, it should be said that he revealed another side of the entertainment industry to ordinary audiences.

Even “good men” are unreliable, so who else can be relied on?
In the past few days, a large number of CP fans have left messages to Zhang Yuanjun and Liu Yifei, asking them to be well.

This left the couple, who had been too busy working these days to pay attention to the gossip in the industry, baffled.

Liu Yifei was confused and asked her assistant a few questions before she learned about the situation.

"Don't close the curtains?" Liu Yifei was surprised, "Can you even forget this?"

It’s no wonder that Liu Yifei’s focus is on the curtains. This is a professional habit shared by many celebrities.

At Liu Yifei's house, unless they are inviting friends to visit and they need to open the curtains to make the whole house brighter, the two of them usually don't open the curtains at home to prevent reporters from taking photos, even if they are doing nothing at home.

The next day, Maoyan Shadow Industry’s official Weibo released the news:

""John Wick", 3.13, I want you to look good!"

Attached is a Chinese trailer.

"John Wick" entered the country as a film through approval and was officially scheduled to be released.

Zhang Yuanjun forwarded the trailer with the comment: "Return to the world."

It's a little late, but the scale of this drama is quite large. Although the General Administration gave the green light during the review, there is still a lot of work that Maoyan still needs to do.

March is a traditionally unpopular month, but it’s already good to have a scheduled release. Maoyan and Zhang Yuanjun don’t expect too much.

Set in March, China is already one of the latest countries in the world to release the film. Only a few countries such as the United Kingdom, Ireland and Japan are later than China.

But fortunately, since "John Wick" was released in October last year, it has not been on streaming media, nor has it been released on Blu-ray or DVD. This means that there are not many pirated resources for "John Wick". In order to cooperate with the domestic release, Maoyan has also strengthened domestic anti-piracy, reporting and delisting a large number of resources.

After the domestic release of "John Wick" was confirmed, Zhang Yuanjun became even busier, coordinating the schedule and promotion with Maoyan.

Zhang Yuanjun does not have high hopes for the performance of "John Wick" in China, and he is not sure whether mainland audiences will enjoy this kind of movie.

Although China has not seen a Hollywood action movie starring a Chinese actor for a long time, there are great uncertainties in the style of "Rapid Chase".

Maoyan wanted to make a fuss about scale. In addition to focusing on Zhang Yuanjun, the promotion focused on large scale. They had already thought about the copywriting: "Maximum scale, kill as fast as you can!"

This plan was rejected by Zhang Yuanjun when it was brought up: "The General Administration turned a blind eye during the review and let us pass. If we use the standards to publicize, it will inevitably be gossiped by some parent or leader. A report phone calls the General Administration, what should we do?”

There are so many idle parents and leaders, aren’t they all the work of friendly businessmen?

"John Wick" has already taken advantage of the review process. If you continue to make a fuss about the standards, other film companies, especially companies whose recent projects have not been successful in the review process, will find you displeased and report them back, and there will be no place for Maoyan to cry. cry.

But I have to say that the domestic marketing standards are indeed very impressive.

Although this move is risky, the benefits are huge.

The publishers of Maoyan were obviously not convinced by Zhang Yuanjun, but they also felt that what he said was reasonable, and temporarily put aside the idea of ​​​​standard marketing.

"You didn't spend much money on the movie." Eddie didn't believe that "John Wick" could sell for money in China. Even with the US$320 million price tag, he felt he had made a profit. "Don't do any tricks in publicity. Play it safe." Finished."

In order to make himself more convincing, Zhang Yuanjun also revealed the follow-up action to Maoyan in advance: ""John Wick" is considering making a second part." In fact, Z Studio has not considered making a sequel so early, but as the boss, Zhang Yuanjun , he said yes, even if there is not, there must be.

"We want to be long-term, make the first one this year, finish it safely, and take away our share of the money." Zhang Yuanjun is worried about whether the film can be a big seller in China, not whether the film can bring profits to Maoyan. He I am confident that with my own appeal, Maoyan can still make a profit of 50 to 60 million at the box office. "After the second part is released, it will be introduced to the country. Isn't that good? I have to use the marketing standards of the first part. It's absolutely impossible." Your own way out?"

These words are indeed very convincing, and the people in charge of Maoyan promised to make announcements in accordance with Zhang Yuanjun's requirements.

There is no way, except for Zhang Yuanjun's paintings in the second part, Zhang Yuanjun is the biggest and almost the only selling point of "John Wick" in China. Maoyan must respect his opinion.

After the meeting at Maoyan, Zhang Yuanjun drove home.

Driving to the door of her house, she saw Yang Mi's usual car parked aside.

Isn't she filming? Why is she here?

When Zhang Yuanjun entered, Yang Mi and Liu Yifei were sitting together and talking.

"Yang Mi is here," Zhang Yuanjun greeted, "How was the filming?"

Yang Mi responded: "It's okay. I have two days off to see Yifei."

Not five minutes after Zhang Yuanjun returned home, Yang Mi stood up to leave. Zhang Yuanjun politely said: "It's hard to come here. Let's eat before leaving."

"No, I still have something to do. I don't want to delay it. I'm leaving. When I finish filming, we can have a good time together."

Yang Mi left.

"Why is she here?" Zhang Yuanjun believed that she was a ghost if she "came to see".

"What else can I do? I want to play your part in "The Invisible Guest"." Liu Yifei said.

Zhang Yuanjun suddenly felt so boring. (End of chapter)
