Chapter 377 Daily life

Although Cheng Lingfeng resigned as chairman of Yuan Yuan, she has always paid attention to every move of Yuan Yuan, but she is no longer responsible for specific business.

She certainly knows the pressure remote Korean studios are under in Korea.

So she took action.

Came with "Ex Machina".

This is a small- to medium-budget science fiction film, which is very suitable for profiteering.

Cheng Lingfeng acts much more domineeringly than her nephew. She knows that the Korean film market is monopolized by the four major companies. It is precisely because of this that YC Studio is treated like a pig by the four major companies and will only be slaughtered after a few years of fattening. So she is prepared to

To muddy the waters, balance the Korean market and relieve pressure on the studio.

In the Korean market, her thoughts are the same as Cheng Yu'an's. She does not plan to do it for a long time and is waiting for a suitable time to exit.

Therefore, for the sake of operational security, she must introduce another partner outside the Big Four and let him fight against CJ and the others.

And this opponent couldn't be too weak, so she focused on SM, who had always wanted to make a movie, but was suppressed by the big four.

Ambitious and rich, but with no other options, he meets the requirements.

When Jin Yingmin heard that Cheng Lingfeng was interested in seeking cooperation in South Korea, she was as happy as anything.

I immediately took people to fly to Los Angeles overnight.

Why not talk about it in Korea?

Kim Young-min didn't want to stay in the ICU for another week.

Of course, he didn't leave in the name of talking about a movie project, otherwise CJ would be the first to let him go. He said he would go to the United States to help Girls' Generation expand the market, and even pretended to fly to Los Angeles with two people from SNSD.

Needless to say, SNSD is really popular this year!

After Kim Young Min landed, she actually went to several performance companies to discuss SNSD business.

Finally, we took people to the office building of a major film company.

Jin Yingmin is not stupid. He knows that Cheng Lingfeng is doing this to balance the competition in the Korean market and ease the pressure on remote studios in the Korean market. He is being used as a weapon.

But it doesn't matter, as long as you can enter the film and television industry, you can be a gunman, let alone what Cheng Lingfeng produced is a Hollywood science fiction film.

It's not some art film that doesn't sell well, which shows that the other party comes with sincerity.

That night, Cheng Yuan learned about the incident when she received a call from Cheng Lingfeng.

He didn't have any special ideas: "Don't be too harsh. The Korean market still needs a few years to let SM taste some benefits before they can do things for us."

"Don't worry, I have my men." It was still daytime at Cheng Lingfeng's side, "How are you doing there?"

"The Hong Kong scenes have been filmed and we will go to Macau tomorrow. Will you be back at the end of the year?" Yuanxiang Film and Television has confirmed that it will be launched at the end of the year.

"Let's see." Cheng Lingfeng is also very busy in the United States. She enjoys work more. The ritual of ringing the bell is not important to her. She likes the feeling of controlling everything from behind.

After hanging up the phone with her aunt, Cheng Yuan received another call from her girlfriend from Shanghai:

"I'm so nervous now."

"Why are you so nervous? This is your first premiere." "Those Years" will premiere tomorrow, the same day as "Martial Arts".

"This is my first domestic film." "The King of Kung Fu" was followed by "Inception," and "Those Years" is indeed her first domestic film in the past three or four years. "It also happened on the same day as "Martial Arts."

Those are Zhen Zhuan and Jin Chengwu."

"What's the matter? You're still Liu Yifei. Where are you now?"

"I'm rehearsing at the Premiere Hotel." No wonder there was so much noise on the other end of the phone.

"It's okay. I'll say whatever I want when I get on stage. "Martial Arts" can't beat "Those Years". This film is called martial arts, but it does anti-martial arts stuff." Cheng Yu'an then coaxed Liu Yifei for a long time.

, letting her relax, she was not so nervous now and went to rehearsal again.

After "A League of Thieves" moved to Macau, the progress was significantly accelerated. Most of the scenes in Macau were concentrated in hotels. Coupled with the crew's previous adjustment, the filming became smoother and smoother after arriving in Macau.

Yang Mi especially cherishes this opportunity. Her role is the absolute heroine of the entire movie "A League of Thieves".

And I heard from the producer that if "A League of Thieves" does well, the company is planning to make a series of thieves that can steal all over the world.

Yang Mi is more active, she doesn't show off at all on the set, she comes early every day, and doesn't leave until her scenes are over, and she stays on the set to work with people on the set.

We were all talking and laughing with the crew, and we got along really well.

On this day, Yang Mi went to Cheng Yuan's assistant Xiao Zheng and said with a smile: "Brother Zheng, you are busy."

In fact, Xiao Zheng is not busy. He is arranging Cheng Yu's future schedule. Filming is of course the most important thing, and he also has to accept some visits and interviews from the media.

Xiao Zheng put the paper away calmly, Cheng Yu'an's itinerary was kept confidential.

Yang Mi was not annoyed and said with a smile: "Brother Zheng, are you free tonight? Let's have a meal together?"

Xiao Zheng became vigilant as soon as he heard this. As Cheng Yu'an's assistant, he faced no less sugar-coated bullets than a company director or vice president.

Some favors were accepted just as they were, but others he didn't dare to accept. Cheng Yu'an also turned a blind eye to them.

Yang Mi has almost no interaction with him, and now he suddenly invites him to dinner, there must be something fishy in it.

Yang Mi clicked her tongue: "I'm really wary of you. Knowing that you have a special position, I don't dare to invite you to dinner alone. I mean, after the show is over, we actors will have a dinner together and ask you to join us."

It's a dinner party, that's fine.

Xiao Zheng put down his guard and said with a smile: "Okay, where? What time? Just call me then."

Yang Mi came over and said, "This is a dinner party for our subordinates. Don't tell your boss."

Xiao Zheng smiled and said: "Don't worry, I won't tell him."

Cheng Yu'an usually locks herself in the study room of the suite after a show and a meeting, and won't come out for two or three hours. When she comes out, she'll be fine and go to rest.

During this time, Xiao Zheng was able to be lazy, go out to eat and go shopping, and even spinach in Macau, which was a lot of fun.

While Xiao Zheng was eating and drinking with Yang Mi, Brother Hu and others, the premiere of "Those Years" was really held at the Magic City Grand Theater.

The biggest talent in the entire crew is Liu Yifei. Directors Tian Yusheng and Su Lun are unknown to many people.

Liu Yifei shared on stage: "This story was created by the company's screenwriting team. It only had an outline at the beginning. I liked it very much after reading it, so I took the initiative to ask to star in it."

"There are rumors outside that you didn't get any money from the filming of "Those Years", is it true?"

The producer has the best say on this issue: "I have to say something about this. There are rumors that Yifei's salary is too high and no crew dares to hire her. I want to say that this statement is incorrect."

"Yifei has proven its appeal in the international market through "Inception". At the end of the year, he will star in a science fiction masterpiece with an investment of nearly 200 million US dollars. Although Yifei's salary is not low in China, it is not that high.

No crew invited her."

"Everyone can understand this kind of talk. The salary is so high that no crew can hire it, so what's the point of the fixed salary?"

"Regarding the filming of "Those Years", our crew has a limited budget. To be honest, I really didn't want to invite Yifei at the beginning. I said we only have such a small amount of money. You can take at least half of it when you come. We still have a lot of money for this movie.

I can’t take any more pictures.”

"But Yifei said that she really liked the story and wanted to act in whatever she wanted. So I joked with her and said that if you do it for free, we'll treat you."

"I didn't expect that she really agreed." The producer also laughed when he said this, "So Yifei really didn't get a penny of pay for her role in "Those Years."
