In the blink of an eye, it's the end of July, which is also the day when "Crouching Tiger, Hidden Dragon" is released.
For Song Yiyi, in the first half of 2008, every day when she opened her eyes, there were countless messy announcements, endorsements, and activities...
So busy that I can't breathe.
When filming "Crouching Tiger, Hidden Dragon", Song Yiyi took a rare breath. She only needed to thoroughly understand the character "Yu Jiao Long" in the movie, and then use her own methods to perform the movie well.
.
The movie "Crouching Tiger, Hidden Dragon" is not like Huang Jiacheng's "The Grandmaster 2", which focuses on the style of boxing to hearty meat. In a sense, the layout is not as grand as the theme of "The Grandmaster 2".
It is for the sake of the country and the people, but "Crouching Tiger, Hidden Dragon" is like an art film that shows the "beauty" of oriental martial arts, whether it is the movie scenes like ink paintings or every sword sword wielded by the protagonist in the movie
, all try their best to show the beauty of movements.
Song Yiyi, who has dancing skills, is naturally at home in the movie. Even when she watches her performance in front of the camera, Song Yiyi feels that she is a natural beauty.
"Is the premiere really not going to be held?"
"No way, Director Shen won't even come here..."
"All right."
Song Yiyi got out of the car. As she walked down, she heard a series of discussions about "Crouching Tiger, Hidden Dragon".
After hearing the discussion, Song Yiyi smiled helplessly.
The premiere of "Crouching Tiger, Hidden Dragon" was weird.
It is obviously the film that Shen Changwei attaches most importance to, but Shen Changwei did not appear at the premiere.
He is the chief director of the Spring Festival Gala. Zhou Yang's appearance gave Shen Changwei countless extra tasks. Seeing that the opening ceremony of the Olympic Games was getting closer, Shen Changwei was so busy that he vomited blood. Even if he wanted to come over and watch the premiere, he couldn't.
Open up.
Outside the screening room, countless media and reporters had already secured their positions. When Song Yiyi appeared, the reporters swarmed up and the noise made Song Yiyi's head buzz.
Most of the questions reporters asked were about the box office of "Crouching Tiger, Hidden Dragon" and the casting process for "Crouching Tiger, Hidden Dragon."
The original protagonist of "Crouching Tiger, Hidden Dragon" was Zhou Runzhi, one of the few Chinese superstars in Hollywood. As a result, when Shen Changwei called Zhou Runzhi personally, the other party offered him a salary of 100 million yuan.
The salary of 100 million yuan is not very high for a Hollywood movie, which is about more than 10 million yuan at the box office, but for a Chinese movie, it is unacceptable, almost like "Crouching Tiger, Hidden Dragon"
》A third of the investment was made. Shen Changwei had a lot of chats with Zhou Runzhi, but Zhou Runzhi and his agent refused to lower the price by a penny.
It probably means that since they have such a high status in Hollywood, they will naturally enjoy top-notch treatment when they come to China, and it is impossible for them to drop their status just for a movie.
The other party was sure that Shen Changwei wanted to use this movie to open up the Hollywood market, and he was even more sure of his status and influence in Hollywood...
However, Shen Changwei did not tolerate this nonsense at all. After inviting Zhou Runzhi several times, he stopped inviting him and instead invited another actor Zhang Shaofeng. Although Zhang Shaofeng is not as famous as Zhou Runzhi internationally, he is suitable for "Crouching Tiger, Hidden Dragon"
The character Li Mubai in the film also has martial arts skills, so the martial arts instructor does not need much support or a substitute for the performance...
However, after Shen Changwei decided to use Zhang Shaofeng in "Crouching Tiger, Hidden Dragon", Zhou Runzhi's team also posted on Weibo to criticize the "Crouching Tiger, Hidden Dragon" movie, saying that Zhou Runzhi has been waiting for you. It's better, just shake your butt and leave...
There was a period of scolding on the Internet. Zhang Shaofeng was scolded by Zhou Runzhi's fans, and even Shen Changwei suffered...
With the premiere of "Crouching Tiger, Hidden Dragon" this time, the media naturally wanted to direct the news of "Crouching Tiger, Hidden Dragon" to Zhang Shaofeng and Chow Yun-chi, hoping that fans of both sides would scold them bloody.
"Sorry, I don't know. The role is decided by the director. If you want to know anything, you can ask the director..."
"We are only responsible for playing the characters well. We don't pay attention to other things in the crew..."
"..."
After facing the media's inquiries, Song Yiyi had a smile on her face and did not answer the choice between Zhou Runzhi and Zhang Shaofeng. She thought she would give a casual answer and walked into the premiere hall for the premiere, but no one could have imagined that this would happen. The reporters became more and more enthusiastic as they asked questions. The bodyguards who were protecting Song Yiyi could not move any further for a while. They could only block the door of the screening room and were in a dilemma.
Song Yiyi was quite helpless, especially after facing the enthusiastic reporters, Song Yiyi felt out of breath...
This state lasted for nearly ten minutes. Finally, amid another commotion, the reporters let Song Yiyi go.
Song Yiyi took advantage of the gap with her manager and hurried into the cinema. When she turned back, she found a familiar figure in the crowd.
"Sorry, I don't know about the conflict between Mr. Zhang and Mr. Zhou..."
"My expectations for the box office of this movie are not high. The Chinese box office is one billion, and the overseas box office is probably US$300 million..."
"Haha, it will definitely not be lower than "Alien". It is undeniable that "Alien" is a good movie, but so what?"
"I don't know. Has the box office of "Spider-Man" exceeded 1.5 billion? I have never paid attention to the box office of "Spider-Man". I am not interested in the box office. After the filming of the movie and the premiere results of the movie are successful, I will be busy. Other things have gone... 1.5 billion box office is indeed a milestone!"
"Haha, congratulations. You can get so much money from "Spider-Man". Please continue to support our Huaxing movies in the future..."
"Yes, I thought of one thing. You should pay more attention to our company's animation "Slam Dunk". Maybe it will be another landmark animation work..."
"..."
in the sun.
Song Yiyi stared blankly at the young man wearing casual clothes with a smile on his face, like a brother next door chatting with others.
In a daze...
She actually felt a little unable to move forward.
He was confident, talkative, smiling, and calm. Standing there, surrounded by the media and glared at by the camera, he seemed to be the brightest and most dazzling protagonist, eclipsing everything around him.
I got to know Zhou Yang from "Under the Mine", and from "The Crow", the two began to collaborate for the first time.
Witnessing his transformation and growth step by step, he gradually turned into a person that he wanted to look up to...
Song Yiyi felt an indescribable feeling in her heart, until Zhou Yang slowly walked in, and she walked forward uncontrollably.
"Hey, Mr. Zhou, long time no see."
"Teacher Song..."
"Tsk, tsk, you used to call me Yiyi, but now that you are different, you start to call me Teacher Song. After a while, you will call me Miss Song..."
"Ah, this..."
"You don't even want to call me sister Yiyi. Do you still want me to attend your wedding? If you continue to be so hostile, I will make trouble for you if I attend your wedding!"
"..."
Song Yiyi laughed. Seeing that Zhou Yang was a little embarrassed and speechless for a moment, she suddenly felt extremely satisfied. She subconsciously moved over and gave Zhou Yang's strong chest muscles a hammer.
For a moment, it seemed like I had returned to the time when I was filming "The Crow" and "Infernal Affairs". Both parties were getting along carefree, and the days went by day by day.
But when the words "wedding" were mentioned, Song Yiyi's smile became a little stiff, and she suddenly felt a little overwhelmed and felt a sense of loss. She was bored and panicked for a while, but finally became relieved, and smiled and chatted with Zhou Yang.
It was a joke.
Zhou Yang scratched his head, smiled naively, and then reminisced about old times with Song Yiyi. Finally, the two of them walked into the screening room side by side.
Song Yiyi sat down in her seat and looked at the poster of "Crouching Tiger, Hidden Dragon" and was a little distracted for a while.
The male protagonist of "Crouching Tiger, Hidden Dragon", Shen Changwei, once thought about letting Zhou Yang participate in the role, but unfortunately, Zhou Yang refused because he was too busy with work.
Zhou Yang was preparing for "Spider-Man" at that time, so naturally he didn't have much time to participate in "Crouching Tiger, Hidden Dragon".
Song Yiyi felt a little regretful about passing by the protagonist. Even though the movie was about to be released, Song Yiyi still felt empty and inexplicably felt that she would not be able to cooperate with Zhou Yang from now on.
When this idea appeared, she was startled, and then shook her head instinctively.
Five minutes before "Crouching Tiger, Hidden Dragon" was released, Song Yiyi saw a tall girl walking in surrounded by the media, paused next to Zhou Yang, and said hello a few times.
That's Victoria Song...
The future successor to the queen.
Song Yiyi had listened to several of Song Qianqian's original songs. When she listened to the songs, she felt that these songs seemed a bit strange. However, when she saw Song Qianqian's eyes with passion and admiration when she greeted Zhou Yang, she was keenly aware of Song Qianqian's
He seems to have a very strange feeling for Zhou Yang...
She subconsciously edited a text message for Zhou Yang.
[You have to guard your body like a jade! If An Xiao is not here, you can't mess up...].
After editing, she hesitated for a moment, and then deleted the text message.
Although Zhou Yang seems to have changed a lot over the years, Song Yiyi has always known that Zhou Yang is a person who has a bottom line and abides by his duty. Such a person...
Why do you need to remind yourself?
Even if he went up to confess to Zhou Yang, he would still...
After thinking wildly for a while, the screen in the distance dimmed.
Then...
The movie started playing.
Song Yiyi gathered her thoughts and watched the prologue of the movie...
After "Crouching Tiger, Hidden Dragon", I might also be an international superstar!
……………………
"Crouching Tiger, Hidden Dragon" premiered not only in China.
It also premiered simultaneously in North America...
Delson's eyelids kept twitching last night. For some reason, he felt an indescribable uneasiness in his heart.
When he came to the theater and watched "Crouching Tiger, Hidden Dragon", he probably knew where the uneasiness in his heart came from...
This movie may be a hit in North America!
It will even impact the box office of his "Alien"!
