Chinese Entertainment's Shining Star
Chapter 910 1010. Avoid the sharp edge
Zhou Xun's behavior stunned the three people in the room. Zhou Xun also realized that his behavior was a bit inappropriate at this moment. Just as he was about to apologize, he heard Nie Wei suddenly burst into laughter.
"Xun brother, how old are you, why are you still so naughty?"
"She just can't grow up." Wang Zhonglei came back to his senses and joked with a smile. After the two of them said this, the awkward atmosphere was eased a lot.
"Which female star is willing to grow up? I will always be 18 years old, okay?" Zhou Xun is such a smart person. Seeing that Nie Wei has paved the way for her, she will of course go with the flow and use her advantages as a beautiful girl to act a little coquettishly. As a man, Han Shanping naturally couldn't really have any opinions about her.
"How is the photo? Show us, don't make the three of us ugly."
"Haha, next to your big star Nie, even if we dress up again, it will not look good." Han Shanping also saw that Nie Wei was helping Zhou Xun to get things done, so he was happy to give him this favor.
He was the only outsider among the three people who were photographed.
"No way, Uncle Han, although you are not handsome, you have a strong presence. I think the photos are pretty good. Do you want to take a look?" Nie Wei handed Zhou Xun's phone to Han Shanping and said with a smile.
"Then I'll take a look." Han Shanping took the phone and looked at it, and commented with a smile: "The photos are really good. Zhou Xun, if you don't want to be an actor in the future, you can also be a photographer." He said the last sentence to Zhou Xun.
"I'll give you a SLR later." Nie Wei also echoed and said to Zhou Xun.
What else did Zhou Xun have to say? Naturally, she was humble and grateful. Wang Zhonglei poured two more glasses of red wine for her and Cheng Kun. Everyone clinked glasses, and Zhou Xun's inappropriate behavior when she entered the room just now was over.
Zhou Xun also secretly wiped a cold sweat. Why did she do such a thing like a demon? But now thinking about it, it's not a matter of regret. If such a scene can't be recorded, she feels it's a pity.
At the same time, she was also grateful to Nie Wei for helping her out, otherwise it would be difficult for her to leave the stage.
Although Han Shanping was polite to her just now, it was all for the sake of Nie Wei and Wang Zhonglei. As a top boss in the circle, even a star of Zhou Xun's status, if he didn't have a good personal relationship, he couldn't easily joke with such a person.
Especially for people with Han Shanping's identity and background, no matter how popular you are, as long as you are in the Chinese entertainment circle, if he really doesn't like you, there are a hundred ways to make you unhappy.
Although Zhou Xun was not afraid, he didn't want to cause trouble.
The two came to the box to toast a glass of wine, and then chatted for about ten minutes, and then hurried downstairs. After all, as the leading actors, they couldn't miss the premiere. At this time, of course, they had to watch the movie with the public.
With the on-site host's speech, all the main players came on stage one by one, and the movie started soon.
Although this movie is also called "The Lost Tomb", it is very different from the original "The Lost Tomb". Although the story of the original movie is based on "Ghost Blows Out the Light", it is actually a patchwork of many parts, and there are a lot of original plots. It can be said to be a brand new story.
But now Huayi wants to make a movie series of "Ghost Blows Out the Light", so it is naturally impossible to do so. Therefore, this "The Lost Tomb" is actually mainly adapted from the content of "Kunlun Temple". Of course, compared with the original content, it has also been adapted a lot.
The story of this movie starts with Ming Shu, an antique dealer from Hong Kong. In order to find the glacier crystal corpse of the Demon Kingdom recorded in the legend of King Gesar, this antique dealer found Hu Bayi, Shirley Yang and Wang Pangzi, a group of tomb raiders, from the mainland to help.
At the beginning of the movie, the pictures with the characteristics of the era immediately attracted some older audiences.
Unlike those ordinary movies and TV series of the era, which are just for show and make a sense of the era, "The Lost Tomb" really restores the people and things of that era seriously.
To this end, director Chen Jiashang not only watched hundreds of hours of documentaries about that era, but also found thousands of photos of that era to study the human nature of that era.
That's not all. The crew also contacted the museum and hired two teachers to provide guidance. Whether it was architecture or slogans, people's means of transportation, living habits, actors' clothing matching, etc., they strived to achieve more than 90% restoration.
When the filmed clips were shown to the teachers of the museum, they were full of praise.
Such excellence is not without reward. At least many audiences who lived in that era found a sense of substitution at once. As the unique characteristics of that era continued to appear in the film, it also brought all the audiences on the scene back to that era.
"This picture is really well shot. It is exactly the same as the Kyoto I remembered when I was a child."
"I actually saw the old store in the front door. It's at that location. It's still open now, but the plaque has changed."
The audience really felt Chen Jiashang's dedication. Although the film has just started, it has left a good impression on many people.
Many people are emotional. When they think something is good, then the shortcomings of this thing are also good in their eyes, or at least excusable. But if these people have a preconceived notion that this thing is bad, then even if it has many advantages, in their eyes, they are all black spots.
After introducing the background era in a few scenes, the camera turned and came to a typical courtyard in Kyoto. The camera went from high to low, passing over the jujube tree, and saw a person with a newspaper covering his face, lying on a recliner in the sun.
There was a knock on the door in the voice-over.
"Who is it?" The person lying on the chair was awakened, took off the newspaper covering his face, and shouted with a tired face. This person was Hu Bayi played by Cheng Kun.
Hu Bayi's appearance was not the same as Cheng Kun's usual appearance.
In the eyes of fans, Cheng Kun is a refined man, with neat hair and neat clothes. However, Hu Bayi at this moment has messy long hair, wears a green military uniform that is obviously ill-fitting, and has a beard on his face. Compared with the real Cheng Kun, he is at least five years older.
But Cheng Kun's look brings a special sense of freshness to fans.
If the impression of Cheng Kun before was that kind of exquisite beauty, then Cheng Kun at this time brings fans a kind of vicissitudes of life and casual beauty.
There is no difference between the two beauties, after all, Cheng Kun's appearance is there, but this different feeling can attract more fans.
The one knocking on the door is Da Jin Ya, but he also brought another person.
This man was sent by Uncle Ming, an antique dealer from Gangdu. His name was Adong. He asked Wang Pangzi and Hu Bayi, the tomb-raiders, to come out of the mountains to help find the corpse of the glacier crystal recorded in the legend of King Gesar. The reason why they found these two people was because they had a bronze mirror, which was said to be related to the crystal corpse.
The story unfolded from here.
The subsequent movie also made the audience quite happy. Especially for some book friends, although the movie was not completely faithful to the original, it also showed all the content that should be there.
Like the golden mummy on the snowy mountain, the mysterious Eluohai City, and the terrifying snake group, these scenes and monsters that the book friends imagined when they were reading were also presented one by one in the movie. The key is that the restoration is very good, the special effects are obviously in place, and the audience is very happy.
As for those viewers who have not read the book, it does not prevent them from enjoying this movie.
The narrative rhythm of the whole movie is simple and compact, the climax is one after another, and the scene also gives people a sense of tension and excitement. Although it is adapted from a supernatural novel, the movie made is a very pure adventure film.
Two hours later, the film came to an end. As the subtitles finally appeared, applause broke out at the scene.
"It's very successful. This is how movies should be shot." The three people in the box also applauded, and Han Shanping couldn't help but sigh.
After sighing, Han Shanping once again invited Wang Zhonglei to the side.
"Zhonglei, I'll host you tomorrow night and invite you to my house for dinner. Would you like to do me this favor?"
"Mr. Han, I will definitely be on time." Wang Zhonglei agreed with a smile.
As for Nie Wei on the side, Han Shanping was not ready to speak, because he had invited Nie Wei many times before, but he was rejected by this kid. Over time, Han Shanping gave up the idea of inviting Nie Wei.
"Nie Wei, I'll take your car back to the company." The main creators below were answering questions from the media. Nie Wei and Wang Zhonglei took this opportunity to prepare to leave. As for Han Shanping, he had left the box long ago after making an appointment with Wang Zhonglei.
Nie Wei knew that Wang Zhonglei wanted to take his car, so he must have something to discuss, most likely related to Han Shanping's dinner party tomorrow.
Sure enough, on the way back to the company, Wang Zhonglei took the initiative to ask Nie Wei what to do about Han Shanping's proposal.
"Han Shanping wants political achievements, and we must help him at this time, so giving up some benefits is acceptable. After all, the longer he is in office, the more benefits we will receive, which is something that money can't buy."
"But we can't easily agree to the other party's conditions. It's a pity to be grateful, and excessive concessions will only make the other party push it further. Keep the bottom line, give him reasonable support, but don't let him stretch his hand too far."
"How about 5% investment?" Wang Zhonglei thought for a while and asked.
"Too much, without affecting our own interests and not making other partners unhappy, I think a maximum of 3% is enough, and the more investment, the greater the risk. Even if it's my movie, I can't guarantee that every one of them can make money."
"You are just being modest." Wang Zhonglei laughed and shook his head, obviously disagreeing with Nie Wei's words.
At least from the time Nie Wei became a director until now, every film he made has made a lot of money. It can be said that half of Huayi's value is supported by Nie Wei's reputation.
Now that each of the Wang brothers has become a billionaire, they also cherish the cooperation with Nie Wei more and more, because they know very well where their wealth comes from. The market value of a media company has always been based on talent and works. If Nie Wei is gone, Huayi at that time will be really unimaginable.
Nie Wei gave a bottom line of 3%, so Wang Zhonglei is going to talk to Han Shanping tomorrow according to this number. Of course, it may not be 3%. If it is less, it will be better. If less is allocated to Han Shanping, some shares can be reserved to win over other allies.
After all, Huayi's power in the entertainment industry cannot be supported by just one company. Its current status in the entertainment industry is mainly due to the connection of interests, forming a group centered around Huayi.
These companies often have common interests with Huayi. When they serve Huayi, they also get benefits from Huayi, such as the amount of film investment.
It is these "small favors" that make these companies closely surround Huayi and act as its younger brothers, making Huayi more and more powerful in the circle and the company's market value higher and higher.
The premiere of "Mojin: The Lost Tomb" was very successful.
On that day, the Internet was full of reports praising this movie.
What "Adventure Heroes" in the East, a new chapter in Chinese adventure movies, the No. 1 must-see movie during the National Day, etc. This movie originally had a lot of popularity, and coupled with the media's fierce publicity with high reputation, it pushed the popularity of this movie to a peak.
The scheduled box office directly increased by more than 50 million in just one week, making a number of film companies preparing to release movies during the National Day tremble.
In just one week, more than three good theater movies have postponed their release dates. Although they are unwilling to give up the good time of the National Day, it is better than going head-to-head with a popular movie like "The Lost Tomb".
After all, there are too many precedents. Those who don't believe in evil and insist on releasing them in the same period as those big movies, I don't know how many movies that could have gotten good box office results ended up in failure.
Although there are occasionally successful turnarounds, they are only a few after all. Obviously, everyone is unwilling to take a work of millions or even tens of millions and have to gamble on this small probability. The benefits are not proportional to the risks, and it is really not worth it.
Time passed quietly, and unknowingly it was October 1st, and "The Lost Tomb" was officially released.
The box office of 80 million on the first day completely ignited the National Day holiday, and made countless film companies who chose to give in feel fortunate. You should know that the first-day screening of "The Lost Tomb" was as high as 55%, and after the adjustment on the second day, it rose instead of falling, reaching 65%.
The more screenings of "The Lost Tomb", the less resources the movies released at the same time can get.
Those with poor performance may have been released for a week, but the theaters saw that "The Lost Tomb" performed so well, and they may only give them three days, and then take it off the shelves, and put this resource on "The Lost Tomb" in order to obtain higher profits.
In just two days, five movies released at the same time have been withdrawn. Although they are all small productions, the degree of tragedy has really made many people in the circle tremble with fear.
However, when "The Lost Tomb" was popular, a photo posted by Zhou Xun when he updated his Weibo to celebrate suddenly caused heated discussions on the Internet.
Thanks to Beifeng that night for his generous reward of 500, and thanks to 0773, Fantasy Paradise, Xiaocheng 12138, and Maodi 99 for their generous rewards.
