Actor: My Entertainment Era

On the 15th, Zhang Yuanjun returned to the Shanghai International Film Festival from Beijing.

In the past few days when he was away, the film festival was quite lively.

On the second day of the opening ceremony, a forum themed on "Film and Capital: Fall in Love, Not Kill Each Other" was held.

The organizer didn't mind the excitement and invited Ye Ning and Zeng Maojun over.

Ye Ning switched jobs from Wanda to Huayi at the beginning of the year, which shocked the industry.

The former colleagues were now on the same stage, and the media attending the conference thought they would see the two fighting each other, but in the end, nothing happened between them during the entire forum.

On the same day, Sparkle Films held a press conference to release four of Jackie Chan's upcoming action films!
"Escape", "Railway Tiger", "Kung Fu Yoga" and "Ordinary People".

I have to say that Jackie Chan is really strong and energetic.

Huang Bo also announced his "HB+U" new director support plan at the film festival, saying that 10 genre films created by young directors with potential will be selected, and Huang Bo's company will support them.

There are also countless blockbuster films holding press conferences at the Shanghai Film Festival, announcing their final releases, attracting investment, etc.

The Shanghai International Film Festival has become the most important social venue for Chinese films.

The Golden Rooster Awards should be watched and studied carefully. Even if the awards are not valuable, relying on such a large market in the mainland, the film festival can still be successful.

"The Invisible Guest" holds a press conference today, and the film will have its world premiere after the press conference.

In order to protect the film's official release results and the film's suspenseful features, "The Invisible Guest" will only be screened once on the day of the press conference.

Among those who attended the premiere, 6% of the audience were media, and only 4% of the movie tickets were reserved for ordinary movie fans, and part of them were given to fan viewing groups.

In addition, media attending the premiere are required to sign a confidentiality agreement, which allows them to write reviews and reports after the screening, but cannot spoil the plot of the film.

In fact, the Shanghai International Film Festival allows competition films not to be shown to the public, but the crew still wants some audiences to see the film in advance, hoping that they will use it as a way to promote the film.

The host of the press conference is Xie Nan.

Many guests from the industry came to support the premiere. Huang Xiaoming, Yang Ying and his wife, Xie Shu, president of Digital Domain, a domestic special effects center, Huang Zitao, Tong Dawei, Lu Chuan and others all expressed their great appreciation for "The Invisible Guest". expect.

"Dear viewers and friends from the media, good afternoon, everyone, and welcome to the world premiere of "The Invisible Guest". I am Xie Nan, the host of tonight's premiere. Welcome everyone."

The theme of the press conference echoes the scheduled preview, which is called the truth.

Xie Nan also pointed out the topic at the beginning: "As you can see on the big screen, the theme of our premiere is called the truth coming out. This truth coming out has two meanings. One is that after so long, "The Invisible Guest" is finally going to meet the audience. Secondly, the suspense case in "The Invisible Guest" will reveal the truth for the first time."

"I know everyone can't wait. Now, let us welcome our "Invisible Guest" creators with warm applause. They are Mr. Zeng Maojun, the vice president of Wanda Film and Television, the producer of "The Invisible Guest", and the film College professor, film director, and famous director Cao Baoping.”

Let’s talk about the two behind-the-scenes heroes first.

The producer of "The Invisible Guest" is of course the director of China Film Group Corporation, but he usually sits in the audience as a guest to watch the ceremony, and does not participate in the premiere event as the main creator.

Zeng Maojun and Cao Baoping stood on the stage and introduced themselves one by one. Xie Nan said: "I have always had a big question for Mr. Zeng and Teacher Cao. I believe that many viewers are also curious about this question. How did you come up with this starring cast? Many viewers online said that our "Invisible The starring cast of "Guest" is the "Lifetime Series". Mr. Zeng and Teacher Cao, do you know what the "Lifetime Series" is?

Zeng Maojun and Cao Baoping both said they didn't know what the word meant, and Xie Nan explained to them: "'Lifetime Series' refers to those particularly rare things that may only be seen once or twice in a lifetime, and are particularly precious. The audience said that the starring cast of "The Invisible Guest" is too luxurious, and they may only see it once in their lifetime. "

Zeng Maojun said first: "Everyone is too polite. You are too polite."

Xie Nan asked again: "Then how did our preparation team come up with this luxurious lineup?"

Zeng Maojun signaled to Cao Baoping that after all, as the producer, he was in charge of the casting.

Cao Baoping said: "It's actually not as difficult as everyone thinks. At the beginning, Xin Yukun, Yuan Jun and I were working on this play. When we were discussing the roles, Yuan Jun was acting cunning and said he wanted Gong Li, but no one else wanted it. "

Zhang Yuanjun was sitting in the audience laughing. Gong Li beside him laughed and said, "Did you really say that at that time?"

Zhang Yuanjun nodded and admitted.

Cao Baoping's words made the audience laugh, and Zhang Yuanjun was still cheating.

Cao Baoping continued: "I said that Gong Li was difficult to hire, and she was busy, so there might not be a schedule, but I still sent the book to Gong Li. I didn't express my expectations at first, but after about a week, Gong Li said that the book was good. We arranged to meet and talk. Yuanjun and I rushed to Wuxi and we talked for two hours and settled the matter. As for Ni Ni, I told her that this drama has Zhang Yuanjun and Gong Li. Come or not, I think this role is quite suitable for you. She didn’t even ask what the role was. She came to the capital to sign the contract the next day. Teacher Li Jianyi also negotiated it in this way. I said I would let you play Gong Li’s husband. You guys The couple joined forces to fight against Zhang Yuanjun, and Teacher Li Jianyi also agreed."

"It's actually not as difficult as everyone thinks."

What Cao Baoping said is simple, but the simple premise is that your script can impress both Zhang Yuanjun and Gong Li. Just for this alone, 90% of the crews on the market cannot do it.

Xie Nan pretended to whisper, softly for everyone present to hear: "Then their salary must be very expensive."

Zeng Maojun said with a smile: "That's not the case. They are all very good actors. After reading the script, they knew that we were working on a small budget, so we agreed on a good amount on the remuneration, and the negotiation was more pleasant."

Xie Nan asked Zeng Maojun again: "Is this the third time Wanda and our Yuanjun have cooperated?"

"Yes, the third time."

"Then why can we cooperate so many times in just a few years?"

Zeng Maojun said: "I think our creative concepts are very compatible. Over the past few years, everyone has trusted each other, so this cooperation is a natural thing."

In fact, Wanda provided a lot more money than Glossy, and also covered the distribution of "Maze of the Heart".

Of course, there is definitely a desire for cooperation.

"Okay, thank you Mr. Zeng and Teacher Cao. Please take a seat and rest." Xie Nan asked the two of them to step down after asking the question.

"Okay, I know what everyone is waiting for. The heroes behind the scenes have appeared, and the next step is-the director and actors of "The Invisible Guest" will be invited below."

Five people, Xin Yukun, Gong Li, Zhang Yuanjun, Ni Ni and Li Jianyi, took the stage at once.

It aroused a cry from the audience. (End of chapter)
