When the premiere of "Liao Zhai Painted Skin" officially began, Jiang Ge's uneasy mood slowly calmed down.
What replaced it was irrepressible excitement and ambition.
Especially when the prelude to the movie started playing, this emotion rose to the extreme, and one hand trembled slightly uncontrollably.
"Damn, these special effects are awesome!"
"God, this...this scares me, especially this fox's bloody mouth, oh my god!"
"The special effects are really awesome. Does Chinese Film have such a great special effects company?"
"..."
At the beginning of the movie, several foxes dragged a young scholar into the fox demon cave, and then opened their bloody mouths to suck out his soul.
Although it is not full of "sex" and violence like a restricted-rated movie, the music is exceptionally charming. Together with the weird rainy night and the flickering murmurs, the audience is instantly transported into this magical and weird world.
in the world.
Even though he has watched Django several times, even though he is the director, he still felt extremely shocked when he saw the opening scene of this movie.
This is the picture that has been sketched in his mind for who knows how many years!
No, it's even more vivid than the picture he sketched and wanted to show...
Jiang Ge heard the waves of praise, and he suddenly felt proud in his heart. The anger that had been pent up in his heart for a long time finally relaxed a little at this moment.
Amidst the murmuring and strange sounds, Liu Tingting appeared on the screen.
The red fox demon applied a piece of human skin, and then tweaked it a little. The human skin was graceful and charming, and you could feel your heartbeat through the screen.
After Jiang Ge watched Liu Tingting's effect on the screen, he felt a little dazed in his heart. He actually felt a rush of hot blood rushing down from his body, and his whole body became extremely hot.
Sexy, bold, mature, enchanting, bloody, and full of hints of various primitive human instincts, but within the scope of scrutiny.
Jiang Ge subconsciously looked around and found that the audience's eyes were fixed.
He unconsciously looked at Liu Tingting again, his eyes extremely complex.
At this moment, Liu Tingting was dressed very fashionably, but also very conservatively, and was watching the movie seriously.
Liu Tingting was recommended by Zhou Yilin. At first, he was particularly resistant to Liu Tingting. After all, Liu Tingting was from Huaxing, and it was rumored that Liu Tingting was a woman in the flesh business in the mine a long time ago, so he instinctively looked down on her.
.
But when Liu Tingting came to the crew, Jiang Ge still saw a lot of Liu Tingting's shining points.
She worked very hard, harder than anyone else on the crew. Within three days of receiving the complete script, she memorized the lines by heart.
She is obviously not a professional actress, but her acting skills are not outstanding, especially when she puts on makeup and stands there reciting her lines and smiling every time, she is indescribably stunning.
She is not pretty, and she is really ordinary despite being surrounded by beautiful women in the entertainment industry, but she is born with a bit of charm...
Of course, she also knew that she had a humble status and would not take the initiative to say hello to anyone. After every performance, she would sit quietly. Sometimes she would take the initiative to help the actors prepare meals, do some chores, and occasionally face others.
She chose not to hear the actors' pointing fingers and some people's insulting hints...
Later, during the contact, Jiang Ge's dislike for Liu Tingting was much lessened. Even after the movie ended, Jiang Ge actually developed some inexplicable affection for Liu Tingting.
Of course, this inexplicable good feeling is not the love between men and women, but an invisible admiration.
The entertainment industry looks glamorous on the surface, but behind the scenes some actresses are not much cleaner than Liu Tingting.
After recalling the scenes during the filming for a long time, Jiang Ge finally withdrew his gaze.
…………………………
"Have you checked it out?"
"We found out that the capital formula SAK behind "Liao Zhai Painted Skin" is actually a company in which Zhang Genshui holds shares..."
"Zhang Genshui? Baoli Company?"
"Yes, the movie "Liao Zhai Painted Skin" is produced by Baoli. In addition to investing in "Liao Zhai Painted Skin", this company also invested in "Crazy Stone", "Laughing All the Way", "Overheard", "The Grandmaster 2"
", "Infernal Affairs 2"... But the major shareholder of this company is not Zhang Genshui. I found out that the major shareholder of this company is a Chinese named Yang Zhou... No matter how many more, I can't find them.
This line is very hidden, and it took me a long time to find these things!"
"Yang Zhou, Zhou Yang!"
"..."
"Liao Zhai Painted Skin" has already premiered for half an hour.
However, Li Zhongjun did not enter the screening room, but stayed in his office, listening to the information reported to him by the information department manager Chen Rui.
Li Zhongjun didn't take it seriously before, but when he heard the word "Yang Zhou", he stood up instantly. His eyes were full of coldness, and he immediately felt that there was a qi stuck in his heart, and he couldn't relax for a long time.
.
He actually doesn't take the "Liao Zhai Painted Skin" project seriously.
The project that he attaches most importance to is "The Righteous Man", but there were some disturbances in the second half of this year, and some movies hit the market one after another. After "Liao Zhai Painted Skin" attracted a large investment, he gradually began to pay attention to it.
This project, but he did not let people investigate the source of investment in detail...
Some people invest money in their own projects, and it is real money. As long as the source of funds is normal, there is no money laundering, and the counterparty is a regular company.
but……
He never dreamed that the source of this money actually came from Zhou Yang.
"The investment ratio of this SAK company is 20% from Zhang Genshui and 80% from Zhou Yang..."
Chen Rui and Li Zhongjun were still reporting on the investment situation of "Liao Zhai Painted Skin". Li Zhongjun frowned more and more as he listened, and finally narrowed his eyes, with a cold light shining in the slits of his eyes.
"No wonder Hua Xing has packed in so many actors, Zhou Yilin!"
"There is another piece of news, I don't know if I should tell you..."
"Just tell me..."
"Some time ago, Director Jiang and Feng Kai were drinking coffee and chatting until late at night... Coupled with Liu Tianwang's job change, I suspect that Director Jiang has already been in contact with China Star since the beginning of the entire "Liao Zhai Painted Skin" project...
"
"..."
"Also, some time ago, didn't Zhou Yilin and Director Zhou come to discuss cooperation with us? They sent a group of directors and projects, and SAK Company has more or less investment in these projects. They are not clean at all..."
The more Li Zhongjun listened, the colder his expression became: "Continue!"
"Wang Jing has also been very active recently. I have investigated that Wang Jing has been in private contact with many artists under our company recently... Because our strategic plan has begun to shift to the cultivation of some young talents, many established artists are more
Shao started to feel dissatisfied and felt that we were afraid of him. In addition, the company's movies have been losing money at the box office these days. Many people are saying that our company is going downhill. Shengshi is also restless. As an entertainment company on the same level as us
The company seems to be in contact with our artists, and I heard that it has offered a high price..."
……………………
"This is a masterpiece that is rarely seen in Chinese movies, a masterpiece that is truly worth the price of admission!"
"The special effects are wonderful and the plot is wonderful!"
"This oriental fantasy movie might even make a god!"
"The tickets for the day after tomorrow are all sold out. This movie is going to be a hit. This movie is not inferior to Hollywood movies. I didn't expect Director Jiang to be so good!"
"I almost cried watching the last scene!"
"..."
The plot of "Liao Zhai Painted Skin" is similar to that of "Painted Skin" in the original world.
But because the directors are different, the emphasis is also different.
It is more bizarre and the characters' emotions are more delicate. In addition, the final ending is so emotional that it makes people cry.
After hearing a burst of praise, Zhou Yang immediately stood up and applauded. After watching the movie, he felt no aftertaste.
His vision was not wrong, this movie was really a hit!
He looked subconsciously not far away, but Jiang Ge, not far away, was still sitting on the chair, seeming a little confused!
After a long time, he finally came to his senses, clapped his hands, and burst into tears with excitement.
Zhou Yilin patted his shoulder beside him, his eyes showing appreciation...
He constantly thanked Zhou Yilin.
Zhou Yang also walked over to congratulate Jiang Ge. After Jiang Ge saw Zhou Yang, his heart was racing and his emotions were even a little out of control. After adjusting a little, he looked at Zhou Yang.
But somehow, the mood started to rise again.
"Mr. Zhou, how was the filming of my movie?"
"very good!"
"How much is there worth learning from you?"
"a lot of!"
He looked at Zhou Yang's sincere face, but for some reason, it didn't feel as refreshing as he imagined.
Zhou Yang neither lost his temper nor showed jealousy, but responded sincerely.
This sincerity suddenly made him feel very lost and empty.
For a director who is talented but has always been suppressed, he has been waiting for this moment for too long.
【Zhou Yang is nothing more than that!】
【Next, my time is coming soon!】
Such thoughts have appeared in his mind too many times.
But at this moment, he didn't have that feeling of victory at all.
After the movie ended, Django returned home. Back home, he kept looking at the movie's ratings.
It gradually climbed from 8.5 to 8.6, 8.9, and even to 9.0...
There are countless praises below. They are all amazed by the special effects, the background music "Drawing Heart", and Liu Tingting who plays the role of the fox demon. There are also countless praises for him.
In this state of extreme excitement, Django waited until the early morning of the next day.
After he saw the astonishing box office of 40 million yuan, he jumped up instantly!
That is……
A true milestone for Chinese cinema!
He broke the record!
He couldn't wait to take out his mobile phone and called Cao Bangguo to share his joy.
But I found that Cao Bangguo was silent for a long time after answering the phone.
"Congratulations!"
"make persistent efforts!"
After saying these two sentences, Cao Bangguo hung up the phone, so coldly that Jiang Ge was confused.
Then...
He heard a knock on the door.
Immediately afterwards, Qian Wei walked in silently, with a complicated expression on his face.
"I……"
"What's wrong?"
"Our special effects team is actually Zhou Yang's special effects team. The theme song "Painting Heart" was actually written by Zhou Yang. Just now, I heard rumors from the company that the investment in this movie was actually... Zhou Yang
