That year Huayu

"In the morning, dozens of film and television industry giants including China Film, Star, Wanda, Huayi, Alibaba Pictures, Hengdian, Xiangshan, and Dadi Cinema Line issued a joint announcement:

Written by Zhou Xingchi and directed by Xu Ke, the large-scale magical action comedy film "Journey to the West: The Demons Strike Back" is officially scheduled for the 17th Spring Festival, and will continue to write the legend of "Journey to the West"..."

"Wu Yifan, Lin Gengxin, Yao Chen, Lin Yun, Bao Bei'er, Wang Likun and others forwarded the release announcement of "Journey to the West: The Demons Strike Back" and met with fans and fans during the Spring Festival."

...

Online, the popularity of Tangren's wedding yesterday just overturned the Hundred Flowers Awards, but it was unexpectedly suppressed by "Journey to the West: The Demons Strike Back".

No way, with so many film and television giants and the linkage of Zhou Xingchi, Xu Ke and Wu Yifan, no entertainment information can shake its top position in the hot search list.

It's just over a month since the Spring Festival this year, and the behavior of "Journey to the West: Conquering the Demons" rushing straight to the Spring Festival next year seems to be too purposeful.

The absolute confidence of the producers in the film and their ambition to hit the box office market are extremely naked!

The audition and casting of "Legend of the Demon Cat" seems to have officially begun;

Many Hong Kong and Taiwan actors and artists and Southeast Asian, Japanese and Korean actors have been reported by the media to come to the mainland for auditions, and photos have been leaked at the Capital Airport to confirm this.

On the other hand, no one knows who leaked the news, but the fact that Liu Yifei read the script but declined "Legend of the Demon Cat" has spread in a small range in the industry.

As a result, the phone of Hongxingwu was almost blown up for most of the morning, and the company was crowded with media reporters; it is estimated that the situation at Shengkai Pictures is also similar.

After all, Liu Yifei's status is there, and "Legend of the Demon Cat" is Chen Kaige's movie. The human relationships, slapping and not giving face, and being furious... How could the paparazzi not be excited and excited? Of course, they flocked to it!

But in the face of this situation, Shengkai Pictures and Red Star Wood obviously have a tacit understanding: ignore, do not respond, and ignore the media and rumors.

Because both parties know that Director Chen is a person who wants face and decency, and Lin Nan and Liu Yifei are naturally willing to help him "keep" and cover up this face and decency;

They can't really let him lose face in the media and the circle, right?

Just imagine, the Palme d'Or director who is always high and mighty and always puts on airs is slapped and rejected by Liu Yifei, a junior. How much damage to his self-esteem and image is made public. What's the difference between killing him?

Shengkai Pictures

Zhang Ziyi was wearing Tang Dynasty makeup and was trying her best to "perform"; but Chen Kaige's frown made her feel uneasy.

After the two auditions, Wang Huiling, Chen Hong and others all looked at Chen Kaige, waiting for him to speak. Zhang Ziyi was also a little nervous.

"Director Chen?" Zhang Ziyi asked softly after a long time.

At this time, Chen Kaige finally spoke; he looked at Zhang Ziyi and commented: "Your acting skills are beyond reproach, I know;

But your external conditions are indeed very influential. The two roles you auditioned are both adult women, but women in the prosperous Tang Dynasty were beautiful because of their plumpness..."

The phrase "beautiful because of their plumpness" pointed out Zhang Ziyi's biggest flaw and gave her a tactful answer.

Some things can never be made up by acting skills; even if you have just given birth to a child, if your foundation is too poor, it is too poor.

In an instant, Zhang Ziyi's eyes dimmed a lot, but she still tried to smile. "Thank you Director Chen, Producer Chen, I understand."

"Well, there will be opportunities in the future."

After Chen Kaige nodded, Chen Hong comforted him.

A dozen seconds later, Zhang Ziyi walked out of the audition room, and two assistants came up to her instantly.

"Let's go, we'll talk after we get in the car."

With a "confident" smile on her face, Zhang Ziyi whispered without letting anyone outside see her abnormality.

The three of them left Shengkai Pictures, and in the flashing of many media cameras, before they walked to the RV, they saw a luxurious car slowly stop;

Wearing high heels, wearing a floral waist dress, wearing sunglasses, heavy makeup, long hair draped over her shoulders, bright and beautiful Fan Bingbing appeared in front of everyone.

The two top-tier actresses met and instantly judged who was better; neither of them spoke, but just nodded to each other politely, and then passed by.

Before getting in the car, Zhang Ziyi couldn't help but glance at Fan Bingbing's back... That butt, that chest, that face, she had to admit that in terms of external conditions, this "bitch" was indeed amazing.

"Sister Ziyi?"

"Let's drive. I failed the audition, and I have to find resources for my comeback." Zhang Ziyi said coldly.

...

For "Marriage Story", Lin Nan plans to carefully select the cast after the script is reviewed.

And there is no need to think about the three major film festivals this year, because even Venice in September has already started to register during this period.

Therefore, Lin Nan and Liu Yifei plan to take "Marriage Story" to the three major European film festivals next year.

As for which one to choose, Lin Nan plans to make a decision after the filming is completed, and it really needs to be carefully considered and considered.

"The daily box office of "The Mermaid" has dropped from 1.45 million to 820,000. La Peikang has notified Shanghai Film Group to prepare for the celebration banquet."

Lin Nan was drawing the storyboard at home when Ren Zhonglun called.

The 15% share of "The Mermaid" earned Shanghai Film Group more than 200 million yuan, but it also made Shanghai Film Group a laughing stock in the industry.

Because Ren Zhonglun felt that the budget of 300 million yuan for a comedy movie was too high, and the news about voluntarily "shrinking" was spread. Maybe, maybe, there was a high probability that the news came from China Film.

"Then make preparations. You don't have to wait until the movie is released."

Lin Nan touched Xiao Hei who was squatting on the desk, put down his pen, and started chatting with Ren Zhonglun.

Chairman Ren Da didn't just call because of the "Mermaid" celebration party. He mainly wanted to talk to Lin Linnan about another "mischief" incident.

"Is it set?"

"Well, it's just been scheduled. Take a look."

When Lin Nan heard this, he immediately clicked on the news page on the computer next to him, and sure enough.

"Co-produced by China Star and Bona Pictures, with a production value of up to 500 million yuan, the large-scale mythological epic "Legend of the Gods" has officially announced its summer release on July 29."

"China Star Chairman Xiang Qiang said: "Legend of the Gods" has invested a lot of special effects production funds, and the film quality is not inferior to "The Secret of the Dragon", and the total box office will be 2 billion or more; Yu Dong, chairman of Bona Update Weibo..."

Lin Nan saw Xiang Yiqiang's... it could be regarded as a "declaration", and he was quite eloquent and brave enough to say it. Yu Dong also shouted slogans, claiming that he would maximize the distribution efforts.

"So, what does Director Ren want to say?" Lin Nan had a vague guess, because Ren Zhonglun hinted at it last time.

"Didn't Xiang Qiang and his wife scold the box office fraud of "The Mermaid" on Weibo before, but you found it disgusting and didn't want to touch it, so why don't you ask me for my opinion?"

"Yes, I remember your original words were: 'Ignore it, if the dog bites you, why don't you go up and retaliate?', I even joked that this is not your style, Mr. Ren."

"Well, don't we just have to wait until their movie is scheduled?" Ren Zhonglun sneered.

"Then?"

"On the China Film side, La Peikang is a 'sanctimonious' person, and Yu Dong is from China Film... I can't say whether China Film will cause trouble, but Shanghai Film's theaters and theaters with shares, haha, I say It’s up to you!”

Good guy, Lin Nan was shocked when he heard this.

Ren Zhonglun does have a great advantage, but it also has a disadvantage, that is, he can break the rules for the sake of personal friendships and grudges.

The former is like Jackie Chan's problem, and the latter is like the current "artificial" intervention in film scheduling!

From a selfish perspective, to be honest, Lin Nan could not criticize Ren Zhonglun because he was a person with vested interests.

"Why, are you scared? Just think it's a joke. Anyway, it's the result of 'self-regulation of the market'. Haha..."

"I pretended not to hear anything, and neither did Xiao Hei." Lin Nan responded with a smile.

"Xiao Hei? Who is it?"

"Yifei's cat."

"You, you are so boring, you are dead."

Looking at the screen of the cell phone where the call was hung up, Lin Nan smiled silently. He picked up the pencil again and said, "Continue working."

But within two minutes, Liu Yifei's voice came from downstairs: "Lin Nan, lunch has been delivered, come down quickly..."

"Okay, right away."

…

"Her figure, appearance, and acting skills all meet the requirements."

"I know, I knew it when I was filming "The Orphan of Zhao". But she is too beautiful, it shouldn't be like this, it's not the feeling I particularly want."

Chen Kaige was a little reluctant. Today's Fan Bingbing may have all the conditions suitable for Yang Guifei, but with him, there is just a sense of expectation and surprise missing;

The most important thing is that there is no relatively "pure" feeling in Fan Bingbing.

"If she can't do it, then it's really hard to choose, and it will be difficult to find the next one, right?" Wang Huiling joked, wondering in her heart that the most suitable candidates declined.

"Let's wait and see. If it's suitable, even a small actor will do!"

Chen Kaige said decisively, the assistant was already reminding him that it was lunch time.

…

As time goes by, Lin Nan and Liu Yifei stay at home; the former draws storyboards, while the latter reads scripts, writes biographies, and comes to ask their great director for advice from time to time...

As for the outside world, it seems that the casting process for "The Founding of an Army" has been completed.

Although China Film intends to keep it secret, the casting list has indeed been leaked to the industry; there are so many young idols in the core roles, it’s just nonsense!

As for the news that Zhang Ziyi failed to audition for "Legend of the Demon Cat" and was written off on the spot, and will not be able to make a comeback in the film directed by Chen Da, it has become a joke and a source of discussion in the industry after dinner;

The former International Chapter went to give birth to a child for Wang Banbi, so why did he fall behind? !

In a blink of an eye, it’s the 25th of the month.

The fact that LeTV Pictures held its general shareholders' meeting today has been on Weibo hot searches and film and television headlines since early in the morning.

The most important thing is that the celebrities and celebrity shareholders who appear in the reporters' cameras are really big names, and almost all of them are popular first- and second-tier people;

Among them, Zhang Yimou, one of the country's top directors and national masters, steals the spotlight the most.

After all, people are afraid of comparison. What was director Zhang Da like when he was following Zhang Weiping, and what is he like now? Aren't those just two levels?

Zhang Yimou, who appeared in the camera at this moment, looked much more energetic and much younger than before!
