China Entertainment’s rescue plan is hard to come by

Chapter 593 The Big Liar and the Elevator War God [-in-]

"Fan Bingbing appeared in Cannes wearing a Chinese dragon robe and shocked many foreigners; Liu Yifei joined hands with Leonardo to support "Inception"; Gong Li single-handedly carried the crew of "Into the Dust". This year's Cannes International Film Festival Festival, Chinese filmmakers attack strongly!”

"The opening film "Inception" has received wide acclaim for its unrestrained imagination, gripping storyline and superb special effects scenes. The fairy sister Liu Yifei contributed a wonderful performance in it."

""Rizhao Chongqing" directed by Wang Xiaoshuai was well received during the screening, and Wang Xueqi's performance left a deep impression on foreign audiences."

"Into the Dust" directed by Sun Yi was called the biggest surprise of this year's Cannes Film Festival by European media. Gong Li's performance in the film is still impeccable, and the leading actor Wu Renlin is even more eye-catching. Many foreign viewers even asked our reporters, who is this actor? "

"A French viewer said in an interview: 'Actually, he couldn't recognize these oriental faces, but he understood the emotions of the actors through the movie, and he was deeply moved.'"

"Before the deadline, the film festival has passed halfway, and the situation of the Chinese-speaking Corps is very good. We look forward to finally winning the grand prize."

"Welcome to continue to pay attention to our newspaper's special report on the 63rd Cannes International Film Festival - frontline reporter Liu Yun."

Every time the three European majors attract strong attention from the domestic media, it is inevitable for Sun Yi to see relevant information when he is on the Hong Kong Island crew.

He remembered that before he came to Hong Kong Island a month ago, the domestic media's view of the current Cannes Film Festival was still very pessimistic.

At that time, only "Rizhao Chongqing" directed by Wang Xiaoshuai was announced to have passed the preliminary selection, but it only entered the award list of the "Un Certain Regard" unit.

This is the only one that exists in the entire Chinese film industry, including Hong Kong and Taiwan.

It can be regarded as setting another precedent since the continuous success of Chinese-language films in the three major European film festivals in the 90s.

Hmm. The opposite.

Suddenly, there was a clamor of opinions that various domestic Chinese-language films were in decline.

Even many "old-timers" began to come out to give earnest advice again, looking distressed, as if Chinese-language movies would not be possible without them.

say what:
"Excessive commercialization will completely kill Chinese-language films, as evidenced by this year's Cannes. A group of directors are rushing to make commercial films for money, so there is not even a decent film."

It's the same old tune again, and it's still a dispute between commercial films and literary films.

However, these old guys have improved their memory and no longer dare to completely deny commercial films. They are more cautious and call it excessive commercialization.
In fact, Sun Yi's initial thinking was the same as theirs. He believed that commercial films are commercial films and literary and artistic films are literary and artistic films. The two are very different and have no connection.

But after experiencing such a movie, he felt that this idea was too superficial.

The boundary between commercial films and literary films is not that big at all.

The essence of commercial films is to make the audience feel happy. Literary films are basically meant to make the audience think. But who says that they can’t make the audience feel happy and think a little bit at the same time? Or, while making the audience think, they can also add some fun factors.

This can be done.

In the final analysis, those directors are too selfish and always want to bring in their own private goods. If the audience doesn't like it, they feel that the audience's level of appreciation is too low and they don't put the audience first at all.

The service industry also knows that consumers are God. In the film industry, it's the other way around. The director is God and you can watch whatever you want, no matter what.

It's unreasonable.

Therefore, when Teacher Gong Li came to persuade Sun Yi to let "Into the Dust" participate in the election, Sun Yi only briefly considered it and directly agreed.

He feels that this film is a literary film with a bit of commercial elements.

Needless to say, the reality of the lower-class farmers is certainly thought-provoking, and the relationship between the male and female protagonists is a manifestation of the sense of satisfaction.

Some people would say that if you have been tortured to this extent, how can you still feel happy?

But in fact, for many people, the more torture, the more they like to watch it.

Isn't being sadistic a manifestation of pleasure?

Sun Yi just wanted to make money while standing on this movie.

It is both thought-provoking and box-office commercial.

"I love you, fearless of the crowds, and spend the rest of my life with courage."

Just when Sun Yi was paying attention to the news about this year's Cannes Film Festival, as if he had a tact, Liu Yifei called.

Of course, she also asked Sun Yi to set the ringtone specially, just like her cell phone ringtone was "Love a Little" sung by the two.

In this regard, Xiao Nizi has no awareness of celebrities at all. She does what ordinary couples do, and she is not bad at all.

As soon as the call was connected, Liu Yifei's excited voice came from the phone, but the content caught Sun Yi off guard.

“Chérie“

French
Sun Yi had a black line on his face.

Don't be such a bully.

Is it enough to know a foreign language? ? ! !

He definitely didn't understand what it meant.

"Speak in Mandarin, okay?"

"No culture at all."

Even though he was thousands of miles away, Sun Yi seemed to see Liu Yifei's proud face and couldn't help but threaten him.

"Liu Qianqian, I don't think you're ready to come back, are you?"

"What? I called you because I wanted to make a fool of myself. Why did I want to hurt them? Did I say anything?"

"Just now you said I was uneducated."

"No, no, just no, I didn't say anything!"

Duan is right, he pretends to be very stupid.

"Okay, okay, you didn't say it."

Good men don't dare to fight women, Sun Yi chose to ignore this, but he didn't expect it
"I didn't say why you were mean to me. Apologize!"

wipe!
Sun Yi was speechless. He was acting rogue. He finally gritted his teeth and replied word by word:
"Okay, I~ said~ was wrong~."

There was a burst of laughter from the other end of the phone.

Not even the slightest bit of cover-up.

Okay, I will make you laugh and speak foreign languages. I will wait for you to come back and let you talk as much as you want!

Sun Yi secretly made up his mind.

If you don't fight for three days, go to the house and uncover the tiles. This is indeed a wise saying.

Just when Sun Yi was thinking about how Xiao Nizi would be beaten when she returned home, she played coquettishly again and said to Sun Yi in a timid manner: "Brother, I miss you so much~"

Although he knew clearly that this was Xiao Nizi's trick of giving him a stick first and then a sweet date, Sun Yi still couldn't help but feel relieved and the corners of his mouth raised unconsciously.

Who can resist the coquettish fairy sister?

"Brother, our movie is very successful. The media here have unanimously praised it, and the response from the audience has been great. Not only you, the director, but also Teacher Gong Li and Uncle Wu have been unanimously praised by them."

"On the day of the premiere, Director Nolan and Leonardo came. They all recognized it very much, especially Leonardo. He was not as good as a girl like me, and his eyes were red."

Liu Yifei was full of pride and said, "Hurry up and praise me."

Of course, Sun Yi knew that the performance of the film was inseparable from the intensity of the screening and promotion. Xiao Nizi had obviously put a lot of effort into this aspect.

He couldn't help but praise the movie: "That's all thanks to my producer Liu."

"Hey hey hey"

There was a giggle on the phone, followed by another sweet question.

"Then when will you come?"

"Uh." Hearing this, Sun Yi was a little embarrassed. After being silent for a while, he carefully replied: "Well, Sissi, I might not be able to get through this time." Then, for fear of Xiao Nizi being angry, he quickly explained. : "The progress of the crew here is not very good. I have to go back and forth for at least three days, which is a bit too delayed."

The release date of "Hidden in the Dust" has been scheduled for June 6th. The pre-promotion has already started, but the effect is mediocre because there is no roadshow at all.

The director is not here, the male and female protagonists are not here, and the entire crew is completely empty. If it were not for the support of the Cannes Film Festival, there would really be no buzz at all.

Therefore, Sun Yi must seize the time to finish filming "New World" in the remaining week. At least when "Into the Dust" is released, he will be the director.

Therefore, this time in Cannes, he had no time at all.

"Well, didn't you agree at that time? I'll come first, and then you can join me. Now you..."

Liu Yifei was obviously unhappy, and there was even a hint of grievance in her tone.

The group that was happy just now suddenly became disappointed. She was planning to spend two days in France with Sun Yi.

"Sissi, I'm sorry, I really can't make it in time here. I'll make it up to you when I'm done with this, okay!"

"Okay then."

Even though Liu Yifei usually acts coquettishly and often loses her temper, at critical moments, she is still very knowledgeable and knows how difficult it is for Sun Yi.

After hanging up the phone, Liu Yifei threw the phone on the bed angrily, then her eyes narrowed, as if comparing the phone to Sun Yi, and said through gritted teeth.

"I promised compensation, but if you dare to lie to me, you will be watching, you are a big liar!"

After venting, I had to pick up my phone again and send a group text message to the staff who were accompanying me this time.

Since Sun Yi could not attend, their previous arrangements would need to be revised. For example, if they won the prize.

On Hong Kong Island, Sun Yi re-evaluated the shooting plan for tomorrow. During this period, the crew's progress was stuck on the action scenes.

Sun Yi is not very good at action scenes. Although he made some mistakes before filming started and recruited an action director temporarily, he could only do it bit by bit during the actual shooting.

Another thing is that Zhang Songwen is not an action actor. Although he started training under the arrangement of the action director a long time ago, the filming of this film has only started for more than half a month. He also has other roles in the film. It is said that it is training. , in fact, there is not much time at all.

However, this film also has a famous scene of "Elevator God of War". Sun Yi was unwilling to give up and had to get the effect, so he had to work slowly and carefully.

The "Elevator God of War" scene in the original work is famous for its result. Ding Qing fought one against six in the elevator and finally won.

It has to be said that the director has a very rich imagination. After making action movies for so many years, all kinds of routines have been filmed basically. There are also scenes in the elevator, but in the small scene of the elevator, the multi-person action scene , or the first time.

But to be honest, the process of this scene in the original work is simply full of loopholes. It is fake at a glance, and you can easily tell that someone is cheating, and the knife is deliberately thrust into the air, which is entirely the result of the protagonist's halo.

Sun Yi didn't dare to do this in his "New World". Although this small action scene will not affect the classics of the entire film, his film can be used to suppress the Hong Kong film industry, so it will definitely be praised by this film. Helping people find faults frame by frame, so he cannot allow any sloppiness.

The next day, on the set.

A prop elevator room has been completely set up, and the staff are busy in an orderly manner, arranging the camera positions and adjusting the lights.
"Brother Li, the first scene should be facing the elevator door to see the ambush inside. The second scene should be shot from an overhead shot to reflect the internal situation of the entire elevator. Then start to zoom in and close up, and finally go to a close-up."

"Changed."

Lao Li nodded solemnly, and then began to order the swing arm of the second machine to start raising until it was directly above the elevator.

The action director next to him also began to give final instructions to Zhang Songwen and several "martial arts actors". He pointed to one of the bald stuntmen and said to Zhang Songwen:

"I have practiced it many times. When shooting, remember to use his body to block in front of you. He should lean against the corner of the elevator at the first moment, leaving only your front side. According to the director, Ding Qing is from The people from the bottom came up bit by bit, so they must have some fighting experience.”

"Okay." "Understood."

Zhang Songwen nodded at the same time as several extras.

"3, 2, 1, start."

"Stop!" "The Yan family shovel~" "Throw away your mother~"

There was a burst of yelling and swearing from the lower garage, and then a group of people in suits, armed with machetes and steel pipes, came up in a furious manner.

The number of people here was obviously much smaller, and they were outnumbered. As soon as they met, they fell into a disadvantage.

"Brother Qing, leave quickly, there is an ambush!"

Zhang Songwen was protected by the few remaining boys and retreated until he reached the elevator door.

I thought the elevator would be the last way to survive, but I didn't expect there was still an ambush inside.

At this time, Zhang Songwen changed his usual smiling face, and his expression became fierce. He rushed into the elevator and relied on his inertia to get a knife, directly sticking it to the bald man's body, and then forcibly snatched the hand from his hand. The sharp knife, regardless of it, just stabbed randomly.

Then, he locked the bald man's body, used him as a shield, and leaned directly against the corner of the elevator.

"Fuck" "Fuck!" "Fuck me!"

There were loud shouts in the elevator, and several people who were in ambush rushed over at the same time, but due to the angle, there were only two people at most at a time.

Zhang Songwen first defended himself and tried to turn sideways, preferring to be slashed rather than stabbed. Look at the right moment, rush forward, catch someone and stab him a few times, and then, regardless of the opponent's state, immediately retreat to the corner and defend again.

After several repetitions, all the people in the elevator were stabbed to the ground by him. He was also covered in blood and fell into a pool of blood.

His chest was rising and falling rapidly, the wounds on his body were still bleeding, but his eyes were filled with murderous intent.

"Okay, pass!"
