Actor: My Entertainment Era

"The Invisible Guest" grossed 8322 million at the box office on its first day. Unfortunately, it did not exceed million, but this result has already made the audience, theaters and producers very satisfied.

The first day's score of 8000 million was exactly what the creators said, and it was a good start for the summer season.

Many media outlets issued press releases praising this achievement.

At 9 a.m. the next day, Weibo announced a special campaign to clean up the Internet during the summer, aiming to combat rumors, falsehoods, pornographic, violent, bloody, anti-national and anti-social information.

Zhang Yuanjun has something to do during the day today. Wen Muye and Han Jianu have already finished the script for the Lu Yong Case adaptation, and Zhang Yuanjun wants to take a look.

"Are you going out today too?" Zhang Yuanjun saw his wife changing clothes.

"Yes." Liu Yifei said, "Someone has made an appointment with me for next year. I will go and meet him."

"Do you want me to send you off?"

"No, it's not convenient for both of us. I'll drive there myself."

"If you want to make an appointment, just hand over the book. You have to make an appointment to meet." Zhang Yuanjun said.

"Mr. Sun Zhonghuai made an appointment. It's best to meet him." Liu Yifei disappeared when someone else made an appointment to play.

Sun Zhonghuai is the vice president of Penguin, responsible for Penguin Video and Penguin Film and Television.

"It's rare, they still have films for you." In the past two years in the film and television industry, Penguin has mainly focused on following investments and providing Internet marketing services, and rarely develops projects independently.

"I don't know if they developed it themselves or bought it from outside. Let's go and see it." Although Liu Yifei was not in a hurry to accept film appointments after her pregnancy, she was slowly reading her schedule and she really had to consider the issue of her postpartum comeback.

The couple separated into two cars and went to meet the people they wanted to meet.

Zhang Yuanjun came to Wen Muye's studio, and Liu Yifei and her manager made an appointment with Sun Zhonghuai at the Penguin Pictures headquarters in Beijing.

Sun Zhonghuai's secretary met the two of them in the underground parking lot. When he saw Liu Yifei, he brought an agent to meet him and said with a smile: "Many artists have come to our company to discuss things, but not many are as simple and easy as you."

Liu Yifei said with a smile: "It's not like a simple and easy job. I still have one with me."

Her manager smiled and said, "Then I'll go?"

The secretary smiled and said: "You're here, let's have a cup of our tea before we leave, otherwise others will say we are too stingy."

The two were amused and went upstairs with the secretary.

Of course Liu Yifei was wearing no makeup, no sunglasses or hat, and her hair was tied in a ponytail.

The secretary said: "Our colleagues in the company don't know that you are coming today. They may lose their composure when they see you later."

Liu Yifei said: "You have seen so many celebrities, and I am still missing?"

"We have many fans of yours in our company." The secretary smiled, "Our President Sun said that inviting you here today is considered a company benefit."

There are actually not many people in the office of the film company, and there are only a few dozen people in the functional department of Penguin Pictures' Beijing headquarters today.

When Liu Yifei and the others arrived, Sun Zhonghuai was talking to the employees. He pointed at the computer and said, "You can do this during a small period like the Qingming Festival and Dragon Boat Festival, but you will definitely die if you do this during the summer period."

"Mr. Sun, Yifei is here." The secretary reminded Sun Zhonghuai.

Sun Zhonghuai looked up, stood up, and said with a smile: "Hello Yifei, I finally see you."

Liu Yifei shook hands with him and said hello.

The staff in the office all looked at Liu Yifei. Sun Zhonghuai smiled and said, "How about today's guests?" "That's enough, Mr. Sun, I love you."

"Yifei, can you sign your name for me?"

Liu Yifei smiled and said, "Aren't you going to work?"

Sun Zhonghuai smiled and said: "I will talk about some work with Yifei. After we finish talking about the work, I will sign autographs and take a group photo with you. Yifei, this way."

"What would you like to drink? Our coffee is good."

Liu Yifei declined: "Just warm water."

Penguin does have a film for Liu Yifei, and it is a very risky film. Sun Zhonghuai is not sure whether it will pass the review, and even if it passes the review, he doesn't know whether it will be released smoothly.

"We want to imitate "X-Men" and make our own Chinese superhero movie. If possible, we also want to make it into a series." It must be said that Sun Zhonghuai is very ambitious. "We wrote the script for the first movie Already have it." He took out the bound script from the desk drawer.

The cover reads: Script for the movie "The Birth of a Witch".

Liu Yifei stopped reading the script for the time being, and handed the ugly words to her agent: "Superpower movie? Is it like a fantasy movie?"

Sun Zhonghuai said: "No, it's about superpowers in a modern urban context. We also wrote an institution similar to a superpower research institute. They capture children, study genetic science, and create superpower warriors."

We really can’t blame Liu Yifei’s agent for being ignorant. It’s too risky to make an urban supernatural film in the bad domestic environment, so the agent bluntly said: “Mr. Sun, don’t blame me for speaking out.”

"It's okay. It's better if we talk about everything upfront."

"Although I haven't read the script, in our domestic environment, it's a bit difficult to make modern superpowers. It's still such a big investment for a movie." If Sun Zhonghuai said that he would first make an online drama to test the water, some people would believe it, but when he came up and said Making a movie about urban supernatural beings will inevitably make people doubt it.

"I understand your worries." Sun Zhonghuai didn't mind saying this. It was because of the high risk that he came to Liu Yifei, the safest actor, "But our project..."

Then Sun Zhonghuai introduced the origin of the "Witch" project in detail: "... This is a new type of domestic commercial film. No one has ever done it before. We are willing to be the first to try it. And the review issue you just mentioned, We temporarily came up with a solution to set our film in Thailand.”

"Has the General Administration approved the project?"

"It has been handed over." Talking about movies with Liu Yifei is different from others. Penguin is a big company, but Liu Yifei is here, so Penguin has to respect her. "We are all friends, and I am not lying." Sun Zhonghuai Know how to talk to Liu Yifei:

"This film does have risks, but it is indeed worth trying. Actors like you, Yifei, have box office and awards, so why follow the market trend and follow others to make films that have already failed."

These words really touched Liu Yifei's heart.

"Sometimes we can be a little more willful." That's how it is when talking about movies, you either spend money on it, or you play emotional cards to convince the actors.

Liu Yifei did have a certain interest in this new genre, but she didn't read the script and didn't agree to Sun Zhonghuai's request on the spot. She asked for some information about the movie and learned that Penguin intended to hand over the movie to Lu Yang to direct.

"He is currently filming the second part of "Xiu Chun Knife". He is also interested in this kind of supernatural action movie. We are still talking about it."

Liu Yifei said that she would go back and read the script before replying to Sun Zhonghuai. Sun Wubu agreed: "After all, you have filmed "Super Body", so you have experience."

At the end of the conversation, Sun Zhonghuai invited Liu Yifei to fulfill the wishes of the company's star-chasers and give them autographs and take photos. After doing this, Liu Yifei left with her agent.

On the other hand, Zhang Yuanjun was not satisfied with the script written by Wen Muye and Han Jianu: "It's too serious and hard to sell. It would be better to add some black humor."

The two newcomers made the same mistake that many academics make. They wrote stories that were too serious and literary, without considering communication and audience acceptance.

"You guys change it first. After I'm done with these days, I'll change it with you." Zhang Yuanjun said.

Still have to bring it. (End of chapter)
