China Entertainment’s rescue plan is hard to come by

Chapter 771: Lucky Husband [Two in One]

Already decided?

Sun Yi was a little surprised when he heard the news.

If Li Ming, as the CEO of Xiaoma Pentium, knew that he was planning to hold a film festival in cooperation with the Beijing Municipal Government, he would not be surprised.

However, before the city government responded to him as the proposer, Li Ming knew that the matter had been decided, which was beyond Sun Yi's expectations.

Could it be
Li Ming saw the surprise on Sun Yi's face and was also stunned for a moment, then he explained in a low voice: "Brother, even though I am not very good at movies, I have been in Beijing for more than ten years, so I still have some connections and contacts."

"Besides, this is not a development policy of the municipal government, but a cultural construction project."

After saying that, he winked at Sun Yi with a look that said, "You understand."

It turns out that the company CEO also has such a side.

oh.
Sun Yi suddenly realized.

It’s different from what I did when I plunged into the film and television industry right after graduating from school and then founded Star Sky.

My brother Li has been working in the business world for a long time, starting from the advertising industry, then developing into traditional media, then starting with TV dramas, and then step by step entering the film industry.

After so many years of development, it is no exaggeration to say that it is a local resident in Beijing. It is even currently the exclusive agent for advertisements for CCTV2's "Economy and Law", CCTV News Channel's "Global Vision", and the daytime program of the movie channel.

In China, it is absolutely impossible for someone who has achieved his level of success in career to not have some connections with the local officials.

In this regard, Sun Yi's foundation is much worse.

There's nothing we can do about it. His age is a handicap and he's developing too fast.

It is true that he is famous, and the status he has established in the circle in the past two years is also real, but at the government level, he really does not have so many information channels, and his network of contacts cannot catch up with those of old companies that have been operating for a long time.

Therefore, with Li Ming's connections, it really wasn't a big deal to get some information in this regard from the government.

Thinking of this, Sun Yi felt relieved.

"Brother Ming, you are quite interesting in the circle. Everyone knows your pony galloping."

"Hey, you're embarrassing me, aren't you? How can I compare with my brother?"

"No, no, I just rely on my youth and a bit of luck."

Sun Yi's humbleness made Li Ming smile bitterly.

If this is your luck, then the goddess of luck will not favor you.

She has to be your own daughter-in-law.

Thinking of this, Li Ming subtly observed Liu Yifei, who was standing next to Sun Yi with a calm face.

Don't tell me, I really didn't pay attention to it before.

Putting aside her appearance, this girl has moderate cheekbones, close to the ends of her eyes but not protruding; her eyebrows are like willow leaves, her nose is high, her philtrum is clear, and her jaw is plump.

This is definitely a face that will bring good luck to her husband!

This kid is very lucky.

Li Ming was filled with emotion and sighed:
"Okay, brother, I can't argue with you, but tonight's game is settled, and you have to honor me, your sister-in-law, or you'll be denying me face."

Li Ming had said so, what else could Sun Yi do? However, before agreeing, he turned his head and looked at Liu Yifei, wanting to ask for her opinion.

After all, they were the two who were invited.

Facing Sun Yi's inquiring gaze, Liu Yifei's eyes were gentle, without any objection at all. Instead, she looked like "you decide."

The husband and wife sing along.

When it comes to foreign affairs, she always listens to Sun Yi, and Sun Yi always respectfully asks for her opinion, which makes her very satisfied.

Since his wife had agreed, Sun Yi was not hypocritical and nodded immediately, saying, "Brother Ming, since you said so, how can I not give you face? I will follow your arrangements tonight."

"Hahaha, ok, ok, I'll arrange it~"

Li Ming ignored the little tricks of Sun Yi and Liu Yifei. After hearing his agreement, he laughed twice and left very satisfied.

After Li Ming left, Sun Yi chatted briefly with a few acquaintances and then returned to his seat.

He didn't go to look for Old Monster Xu. At that moment, he was the busiest, so there was no need to waste some time to exchange pleasantries.

It is already a great honor to be able to attend this premiere today.

The premiere process of "Flying Daggers of Dragon Gate" is basically the same as that of Sun Yi's previous films.

In fact, it’s not just his movies. Most movie premieres these days follow this process.

When the premiere ceremony officially began, the creative team headed by Xu Ke walked to the screen first, greeted the audience in the entire screening room, and then briefly talked about their thoughts on filming this movie and the interesting things that happened in it.

The shooting of a movie is naturally a tedious and energy-consuming task. During the months-long shooting process, many interesting things happened in the crew.

So this session of sharing interesting stories is quite interesting.

Just like the celebrity reality shows that emerged in later generations, people particularly like how celebrities look at work and in life.

Director Xu Ke talked about his original intention of making this movie. After a lot of talk, the core idea is still emotion.

Jet Li is much more calm. He and Xu Ke are old partners. The "Huang Feihong series" that was popular all over Asia at that time is a classic work of the two.

The call of "Master Huang" is a memory of many passionate men born in the 70s and 80s.

Especially Aunt Thirteen
As the reporters continued their interviews, the microphone was handed to Zhou Xun.

"Sister Xun, this is your first time shooting a martial arts film. Do you have any special feelings about it?"

In the eyes of reporters, Zhou Xun is totally incompatible with action movies, so today's topic will have to revolve around her.

On the other hand, Zhou Xun spoke without even thinking.

"My biggest feeling is that I never want to shoot this kind of martial arts action movie again. Look at my small arms and legs. They really can't stand the torture~"

There was a burst of laughter at the scene, and Zhou Xun even raised her arms and kicked her legs in response, as if to confirm what she said.

As Zhou Xun's good friend, Chen Kun also joined in the joke with a smile on his face. He picked up a microphone and took the initiative to start a conversation.

"Do you know how many NGs Xiao Xun can get at most?"

"Fifty-four times. Hahahaha~~"

Chen Kun laughed out loud.

The reporters in the audience couldn't believe their ears. The "Triple Golden Award Winner" of the Chinese film and television industry had to NG more than 50 times during a single scene. This is purely the level of an amateur actor.

Sometimes even amateur actors cannot get so many takes, and before they even get to shoot, they are replaced by the crew.

"Sister Xun, is this really the case?"

"Well, Kun'er remembered it quite accurately. It was indeed 54 times."

Zhou Xun had no way to deal with his bad friend Chen Kun and could only confess his mistake openly.

"Maybe I really don't have the talent for action scenes. The master, that's Director Xu, we all called him that on the set. He had very high requirements for action scenes and didn't allow any flaws. During that time, I really went through a nightmare filming process."

"At that time, my boss came to visit the set, and it was just a little bit short, just that little bit."

"I'm going to tell our boss, Boss, let's not shoot anymore, okay? Just take me away, and I'll pay for the liquidated damages and everything!"

Zhou Xun looked at Sun Yi on the stage, pinched her fingers, and gestured while talking, as if she had suffered a great injustice. The audience burst into laughter, and the cameraman turned the camera to Sun Yi at the right time.

As we all know, Zhou Xun is the number one star in Star Sky. Her emotional complaint was obviously directed to Sun Yi.

Sun Yi pretended to be surprised and focused on cooperation.

The show effect was immediately maximized.

Then, the reporter asked Li Yuchun and Gui Lunmei several questions.

After several interactions, the premiere came to the final stage, the movie screening.

Like the audience here, Sun Yi is also looking forward to this movie.

Although he already had this movie in his memory, this time, he wanted to see what difference the overall film effect would make with the help of the starry sky special effects technology.

In fact, he was probably overthinking it.

The difference is not that big. The plot is still the same, the action is still the same, but the 3D effect is a little stronger than he remembered.

But it is also limited, and it still makes people feel a little dizzy.

Read the error-free version at 69shuba! 6=9+shu_ba is the first to publish this novel.

It turns out that the complex action scenes and fast-moving shots in martial arts movies pose great challenges to the 3D mode.

The sense of depth and layering in some action scenes were not handled ideally, which affected the audience's viewing experience.

This is determined by the current technological level and cannot be changed by human will.

Of course, the film is still very well made and is remarkable in all aspects.

Especially Chen Kun, who played two roles, one is the powerful and ambitious head of the Western Factory, and the other is a smooth-talking, smart and quick-witted gangster, both of which were performed remarkably by him.

Especially the Western Factory Supervisor Yu Huatian, his words "Exclusively authorized by the emperor, execute first and report later" are really very stylish.

Compared to Sun Yi's attention to the entire film, Liu Yifei paid extra attention to the action scenes in the film.

"This move is very difficult. You have to hang four wires on your body, keep your balance in the sky, and perform three moves at the moment of diving down."

"Wow, Sister Xun is so amazing. I practiced this move for a long time."

Balabala Basically, whenever there is a particularly outstanding action scene, Liu Yifei will make a small comment.

It was as if she was simulating how she would perform these actions if she were to act out the role herself.

The layman watches the excitement, while the expert watches the details. Liu Yifei is a martial arts actress and a serious action actor.

Objectively speaking, she is more familiar with some action scenes than Sun Yi.

"Why, do you want to make an action movie? Or do you regret rejecting Director Xu Ke?"

"What? No, it's just that, I can't help myself just looking at it."

Sun Yi smiled and said, "I can't bear to let you shoot action scenes again. If you get hurt again, I'll be heartbroken."

"No way, I was young at that time and had no experience."

"You still said you didn't want to act in an action movie?"

"Oh, I'm ignoring you."

Oh, woman
The premiere of "Flying Daggers of Dragon Gate" was very successful, with both the audience and the critics praising it highly.

Of course, even if there are problems with a movie, generally no one will find fault with it on the day of its premiere.

However, in Sun Yi's opinion, this movie is still a success, at least with a score of over 7.

As expected, the box office on the first day reached 3100 million, which was comparable to "The Flowers of War" which was released a day earlier.

But neither film broke Sun Yi's first-day box office record in the Chinese film market.

Moreover, as the release continued, the true word-of-mouth among the audience gradually emerged, and the box office revenue became weak. The first-week box office revenue of both films did not exceed 3 million, and barely broke the 2 million mark.

This is very different from the publicity during the early stages of the Lunar New Year holiday.

"Flying Daggers of Dragon Gate" was better, at least the investment was lower, and Sun Yi did not cheat Xu Gege. Although it did not reach the point of not making money, fortunately the digital special effects fee was indeed discounted for him.

The total investment is 2 million RMB, and judging from the current box office performance, there shouldn't be any problem in making a profit.

As for Comrade Lao Zhang's "The Flowers of War", it suffered a huge loss.

Not counting other things, Bale's salary for the film is at least 1800 million US dollars, which is less than million RMB.

The total investment was 5 million RMB, but the box office was only 15 billion, which was a huge loss.

Everything is easy when you make money, but once you lose money, all kinds of contradictions will emerge.

Sun Yi had already heard the news that Comrade Lao Zhang and Zhang Weiping had begun to break up.

One of them demanded the remuneration for the directors' work over the years, while the other cursed the other for being ungrateful.

Judging from the situation, they will end up in court sooner or later.

The last day of 2011, No. 8 Xiaoyun Road.

A large townhouse.

In the high-tech kitchen, a graceful girl, wearing simple home clothes, a little white rabbit apron around her waist, and little white rabbit cloth slippers on her feet, is humming a little tune, holding a small spatula, and cooking with great interest.

Fairy Liu is in a sudden mood today. Are you feeling it?

now now
I want to show off my skills to my mom.

Liu Xiaoli is coming to visit their home.

Didn’t Liu Yifei establish a charitable foundation when she left her American citizenship?

Focused on women's and children's health worldwide.

The previous Yushu earthquake played a big role.

This foundation claims to focus on the world, but more than 70% of the aid funds are used domestically by Liu Yifei.

Although 30% is still spent overseas, there is nothing we can do about it.

It's better than using it all on those white and black people in the United States.

Liu Yifei now pays 5% of her annual income into this charity fund.

Based on the rich woman’s current annual income, this amount of money has exceeded 10 million.

But she has no regrets. Not to mention how much tax she has exempted because of this charity foundation, but she feels it is worth it to be able to help those women and children.

This girl has a kind heart.

Sun Yi would definitely not object. As a star, he should give back to society in this way.

Besides, he is not short of money now.

Renren's major shareholder, a listed company, is making over 2 billion dollars.

Liu Xiaoli is now fully responsible for the daily operations of this charitable foundation and has even regarded it as her own career. It has completely given her a second spring in life, which seems to be a way of accumulating virtue and doing good deeds for her daughter.

After checking the accounts at the end of the year, I came to see my precious daughter and "son-in-law".
