"The special effects team of "Liao Zhai Painted Skin" is called "Pioneers". The boss is Zheng He, but the boss behind the scenes is Zhou Yang. Before the filming of "Liao Zhai Painted Skin", director Zhou Yilin was the bridge maker."
"I had great distrust of Chinese special effects companies before, and I also heard that the [Pioneer Special Effects] company was on the verge of bankruptcy. I resisted it at first, but then Zhou Yilin told me that [Pioneer Special Effects] had been reorganized and obtained the corresponding
After I got the funds, I contacted the other party’s special effects company. I saw that the other party’s special effects equipment was really good and their professionalism was good, so I didn’t think much about it... I didn’t know about this relationship until the filming was over.”
"I didn't know the origin of the song "Painted Heart" at the beginning. I only knew that it was submitted by an anonymous singer, and Zhou Yilin was responsible for connecting it, because Zhou Yilin was able to start filming "Liao Zhai Painted Skin" and get resources and investment at the same time.
Yilin did it all by himself, so I didn’t think much about it. Halfway through filming "Liao Zhai Painted Skin", I realized that it was sung by Jiang Shushu and written by Zhou Yang, but... I had to overturn a lot of things and start all over again.
, it’s too late”
"As for investment."
"."
The huge conference room was filled with a cold feeling.
The expression on Jiang Ge's face changed from excitement to gradually stiffening, then his eyes were full of disbelief, and finally he sat down on the chair and was stunned.
"So...except for the script, most of the resources of "Liao Zhai Painted Skin" belong to Hua Xing? The reason why it can get part of the official support and channels is also...
·This is all a scam, and I have become a complete fool?"
Django said this.
There is a dry feeling deep in the throat.
He suddenly thought that these days, everyone in Huaxing was very polite to him, so polite that every smile seemed to be close to him, as if they were in the same camp.
Thinking of Zhou Yang suddenly and inexplicably starting to promote his "Liao Zhai Painted Skin", he once felt that Zhou Yang was out of his mind...
Immediately, he thought about every detail of the crew, as if everyone knew something but tried their best to hide it.
At this moment, he felt a sense of weakness all over his body, like a deflated rubber ball. He felt extremely ridiculed in his heart, wishing he could find a hole in the ground and crawl into it, and then never come out again.
Qian Wei did not reply, but stood in front of Jiang Ge, as if he had done something wrong.
"Why didn't you tell me earlier!"
Jiang Ge clenched his fists, his expression finally turned ferocious, and his red eyes stared at Qian Wei like a wild beast.
"I...Director Zhou didn't let me say..."
"I'll call Zhou Yilin, I'll call him!"
His face was twisted with anger, then he took out his phone and dialed Zhou Yilin's number.
Thousands of thoughts flashed through my mind, and even the curse words almost came out of my throat.
"Haha, congratulations to Xiao Jiang. He is the number one young director. His title is firmly established! Hahaha, not bad, not bad! I will say that your movie is not inferior to any blockbusters!"
"Thank you, Director Zhou, Director Zhou, I will try my best!"
"Okay, okay, okay! Have a good rest. If you have the idea of making a second film, I will definitely give you resource support again!"…
"good"
Before picking up the phone, Jiang Ge thought about roaring, thinking about greeting Zhou Yilin's eighteenth generation ancestors, and even thought about various extreme plans to vent his emotions.
However, when the call was connected, Jiang Ge found that he had changed dramatically, as if his head had been dropped, and the roaring words in his throat instantly turned into thanks.
I don't know if it was the words "the number one young director" that pierced Jiang Ge's heart and made him confused. He found that after he finished the phone call, there was still a smile on his face.
There was an air of embarrassment in the air.
"Jiang, Director Jiang, I... I'm going to go down first and get busy?" Qian Wei shrank his head.
"Well, let's go down first."
"Okay!" Jiang Ge said with a straight face and nodded subconsciously: "No one can tell you what you know!"
"I know."
"Go!"
Qian Wei left the office.
Then I heard the sound of something being smashed in the office.
But soon the voice became calm again.
····························
[Ten years of sharpening a sword, Jiang Ge brought a gluttonous feast to Chinese movies!]
[The premiere was 40 million, and the box office exceeded 200 million in six days. Chinese movies are about to usher in a new milestone of 800 million?]
[Relevant departments: Due to special reasons, some Hollywood blockbusters have been adjusted to March...]
[Is the relevant departments supporting "Liao Zhai Painted Skin" in their own way? 】
【A true oriental fantasy movie!】
[The ideal fox demon Liu Tingting!]
【······】
January of 2008 is definitely the most anticipated month for Chinese movies.
"Infernal Affairs 2" and "Liao Zhai Painted Skin" made a good start for Chinese movies, and even suppressed the daily box office of "Time Travel", which was so popular.
Especially "Liao Zhai Painted Skin", after this movie premiered, it instantly became a phenomenon-level movie and once exploded!
In the week since the movie "Liao Zhai Painted Skin" was released, the front page information of almost all movie sections was about "Liao Zhai Painted Skin".
From costumes, actors' acting skills, to movie scripts, to directors, to special effects...
Countless filmmakers have seen the hope of Chinese blockbusters from the movie "Liao Zhai Painted Skin". Some people even compared this "Liao Zhai Painted Skin" with Hollywood superhero series, and then concluded that this movie is completely comparable to any of them.
The capital of superhero movie war!
Jiang Gordon ranked first on the hot search list for Chinese film directors on Weibo, and even surpassed Zhou Yang in real-time popularity.
In addition to Django, all the protagonists of the movie are also popular.
Especially Liu Tingting's sexy and charming appearance in the movie made the otakus in front of the screen unable to stop after watching it!
sometimes······
That's how it is in this era.
Before filming "Liao Zhai Painted Skin", Liu Tingting was just a second-tier artist with no actual endorsements...
But after filming "Liao Zhai Painted Skin", not only the popularity of first-line artists, but also countless endorsements flew into the hands of the agent like snowflakes. The agent looked at each of the heavyweight endorsements and was so surprised that he went crazy...
finally······
Liu Tingting accepted a coconut milk endorsement advertisement worth about 8 million a year.
The popularity of "Liao Zhai Painted Skin" continued until late January. It was not until the box office of "Laughing All the Way" exceeded 500 million a month and a half after its release, and the movie "Crazy Stone" exceeded 600 million, that the popularity of this movie only increased.
Slowly it stopped.
Then······
Another little-known actor from Huaxing has become popular. This person's name is Chen Shuangbao, who was one of the members of the murderous duo during the filming of "Under the Mine".
"Liao Zhai Painted Skin" made Liu Tingting popular, while "Crazy Stone" made Chen Shuangbao popular. This dark-skinned coal miner who speaks a fluent dialect may seem simple and honest, but he can make people laugh from time to time. After playing the role in the movie,
After the thief turned black, the stills of him flipping his messy hair were turned into emoticons by countless netizens, who laughed so hard that they felt their stomachs ached.
·······················
"The financial report for the second half of this year is very gratifying. In addition to necessary expenses and year-end bonuses, the revenue from the movie alone has exceeded 500 million yuan!"
"Although it is still quite far away from big companies like Xinghui, Shengshi, and Huaxin Brothers, it is already a miracle."
「······」
January 27th.
Wang Jing called Zhou Yang.
During the phone call, Huaxing’s various revenues for the second half of 2007 were reported in detail.
Zhou Yang nodded after listening, and did not show any joy or excitement. He maintained a calm attitude from beginning to end.
After the premiere of "Liao Zhai Painted Skin", Zhou Yang immediately took everyone from the "Liao Zhai Painted Skin" special effects team to Laos to join the "Spider-Man" special effects team.
He even met An Xiao once, but he left again without having time for a meal.
"Mr. Zhou, aren't you coming back to celebrate the New Year this year?"
"No, let's wait until we finish filming "Spider-Man"."
"oh······"
Wang Jing asked about Zhou Yang's situation, but Zhou Yang smiled and shook his head, but a graceful figure appeared in his mind unconsciously.
Then, he closed his eyes.
He has many things to do in Lao America, and many emotions can only be suppressed temporarily.
Wang Jing on the other end of the phone was silent, seeming regretful, but also expressing understanding.
Sometimes, people really need to sacrifice a lot of things.
After talking on the phone with Wang Jing, there was a knock on the door at the office.
"Mr. Zhou, Xingyang Cinema's "Infernal Affairs 2", "Crazy Stone", and "Laughing All the Way" have premiered at the box office in the United States."
"How many?"
"Six hundred and eighty thousand dollars."
"How many?"
"$680,000, "Infernal Affairs 2" $320,000, "Crazy Stone" $180,000! "Laughing All the Way" $180,000"
"."
Zhou Yang looked at the box office data and then saw the very embarrassing attendance rate.
Three movies that were very popular in China have all failed in the United States.
There are reasons why Xingyang Cinemas itself is half-dead in the United States, and there are also reasons why it is not accustomed to the local environment.
After reading it, Zhou Yang inevitably felt a little disappointed.
"Any other news?"
"The Hong Kong Island Film Awards sent us an invitation to participate in the 27th Hong Kong Island Film Awards. We have many films shortlisted for the Hong Kong Film Awards, um, "Infernal Affairs 2", "
Movies such as "Crazy Stone" were also shortlisted."
"oh."
"Any more?"
"The movie "Brokeback Mountain" written by you anonymously has been completed. The premiere date is March 18th. Ms. Mary Vane invited us to attend the premiere of "Brokeback Mountain". I wonder if you are free..."
...Of course, she emphasized on the phone that the screenwriter of "Brokeback Mountain" will do a good job in maintaining confidentiality..."
""Brokeback Mountain"..." Zhou Yang was silent for a while, then took a look at the schedule of "Spider-Man", and finally shook his head: "Forget it, the focus is on "Spider-Man" now.
