Another World Under My Pen
Chapter 998: Shabby premiere
Before leaving on March 10, Sun Peng still has a lot to do.
For example, check the final version of "Assassin League" again, and then sign several trailers and posters; for example, inspect the "Mulan" project of DreamWorks and make some small comments; of course; Also participate in the premiere of "Terminator" to support Gaomu Films and Wei Xiaolin...
"Xiaopeng, are you there yet?"
On the way to the Northern Cinema, Sun Peng received a call from Wei Xiaolin, and the other party asked anxiously.
"Um... coming soon, right?"
Taking a casual glance at the road outside, Sun Peng said with some uncertainty: "It should be soon! I think it should be there in at most ten minutes...you can't greet the other stars who participated in the premiere first?"
"..."
The silence on the other side caused Sun Peng's heart to jump.
"Ahem, you should come here quickly!"
"……No way?"
As if thinking of something, Sun Peng exclaimed in disbelief, "I said, buddy, you guys don’t even have a decent red carpet ceremony? Could it be that... Didn’t you invite any big names? Joining?"
"Do you think, who can we invite?"
"Puff!"
After hearing Wei Xiaolin's helpless response, Sun Peng finally couldn't help it anymore and let out a chuckle.
But as soon as he laughed, Sun Peng immediately said with a sullen face: "Ah, sorry, I definitely didn't mean to laugh at you, but...well, no, I am the biggest player in today's premiere Are you a guest?"
Wei Xiaolin was obviously angry, and retorted loudly: "Guest? What kind of guest are you? You are a screenwriter... OK, come here!"
Although his tone seemed very angry, Sun Peng who was familiar with Wei Xiaolin still found it strange, because no matter how he listened to him, he had a faint feeling. It seemed that Wei Xiaolin hung up not because he was angry, but because he was afraid of asking himself. It’s like a phone call--at this moment, he increasingly thinks today’s premiere is weird...
Shabby!
After arriving at the premiere of "Terminator", if he had to use one word to describe everything he saw, Sun Peng could only think of that word.
No red carpet, no celebrities, only crew members and movie fans!
"Wow, that's how it is!"
After seeing Wei Xiaolin with a smile on his face, Sun Peng finally understood. He couldn't help but curl his lips and said, "I said, saving money is not the province, right? It's also a premiere, so you can't show it. A propaganda fee?"
"Hey, money should be spent on the blade!"
At this moment, Wei Xiaolin didn't care about Sun Peng's sarcasm, and he was totally different from the phone just now.
Seeing Director Wei accompanied by a cautious smile, Sun Peng's heart moved, and his face suddenly darkened: "I said Old Wei, you didn't just leave because I was afraid that I turned around, so..."
"Ahem! Ahem!"
Before Sun Peng finished speaking, Wei Xiaolin put his arm around his shoulder and whispered: "My good brother, don't care about that much. Our publicity expenses are limited, and we are spending it on the most important part of this premiere. The style depends on you to support the scene! When the reporter interviews later, don't hesitate to say something nice!"
"..."
Rolling his eyes, Sun Peng was speechless.
But after turning his eyes, Sun Peng suddenly smiled again, and his smile seemed meaningful: "No problem! But Old Wei, I rarely interview reporters, even at the premiere of my own movie. It's also quiet, this time..."
"Uh, what do you want?"
With a twitch of cheeks, Wei Xiaolin had a bad feeling.
"Tsk tut, it's easy!"
After snapping his fingers, Sun Peng frowned and laughed: "Never mind this year, but if I start a new movie next year, you will be an assistant director for me again! And you can't just help when shooting, you must Help from the time of preparation!"
The more he spends his time studying lately, the more Sun Peng feels that he has more shortcomings.
Therefore, if he starts a new movie, he thinks that having an veteran around to assist is the best way, and Wei Xiaolin is undoubtedly the best choice. It's just that if "Terminator" is good at the box office, Wei's market is definitely bullish, and it's hard to say whether people are willing to be a deputy at that time.
However, what Sun Peng didn’t expect was that Wei Xiaolin didn’t care when he was his deputy. Instead, he brightened his eyes and asked anxiously: “Oh, you will start a new movie next year? Has the script been written? Hurry, give it to you first. Let me see!"
"No! No idea!"
"cut……"
With a wave of his hand, Wei Xiaolin curled his lips with a disappointed look on his face and said, "You don't even have an idea. What did you say? When you have an idea, let me know half a year in advance. I will leave the schedule for you..."
...
Compared with Lao Bai's two huge action movies and an animation last year, the release of "Terminator" seems a bit quiet-of course it is only relatively speaking.
After all, directors and actors have no big names, and the production company is Takagi Pictures.
Anyway, for most moviegoers, and even for some senior movie fans, the name Takagi Pictures is too unfamiliar, to the point where they subconsciously think it is a brand-name company or a new company just established.
And the publicity of the entire movie is also very "low-key".
I have to say that Gao Runqing really valued this opportunity. After all, being able to get the script from Lao Bai's hands is simply a heavenly opportunity in his opinion. If there was no such relationship as Wei Xiaolin, he would not even dare to think that even the old Bai, who has been rejected countless times by those big companies, would turn over the script to Gaomu Pictures for filming!
So during the shooting of Wei Xiaolin, Gao Runqing was really responsive.
Ask people for people, ask money for money!
Especially considering that "Terminator" is always a sci-fi movie, so in the later stage, Gao Runqing desperately wanted to make the few special effects shots better and more perfect...
Naturally, the production cost has exceeded and exceeded!
So when Wei Xiaolin finished the later stage heartily and made several modifications to make it more sophisticated, Gao Runqing, who was forced to find that his company's money was not enough-at least it was not enough if he carried out publicity according to the original plan!
The consequences of exceeding the budget are immediately apparent.
Of course, for a film company owner, there are certainly no shortage of ways to find money, such as looking for a bank loan with the finished film, or looking for a loan shark with those old friends. Then when Gao Runqing was about to gritted his teeth to borrow money, Wei Xiaolin stopped him-using all the limited funds in the most important places.
As for the other...
Anyway, just the word "Laobai" can attract the attention of countless fans, and it is enough to make a large part of them enter the cinema.
Wei Xiaolin believes that even if the publicity funds are insufficient, "Terminator" will definitely win a lot of box office in China. As for overseas, it really depends on the word-of-mouth and box office results behind the movie...
