Just after knocking on the ice sculpture, applause broke out one after another, so loud that it almost broke the roof. Everyone in the audience had their own thoughts and whispered.
"Why don't you see the person in the new picture? Where is Zhang Weiping?"
"Is it because the bet on "The Thirteen Beauties" failed and it didn't have the 1 billion box office he boasted, so it didn't have the nerve to come to the celebration party?"
"You don't know yet, Zhang Weiping and Zhang Yimou are in a complete quarrel, just because this "The Thirteen Hairpins" invested more and earned less, and in the end it was not as good as "Pacific Rim"!"
"Really?"
"It's absolutely true! It is said that Zhang Weiping secretly hates Mr. Gao to death. Firstly, he complains about betting on the stepped box office split, and secondly, he complains that "Pacific Rim" robbed his movie's box office and schedule."
"..."
The discussion stopped abruptly as Lu Fei, Cheng Long, Zeng Li and others stepped down. Gao Yuanyuan followed the procedure of the celebration banquet, looked around, took out the manuscript, and gave a speech with a smile.
"Mr. Lu, I want to toast you no matter what!"
Cheng Long held the cup in both hands and drank it all in one gulp.
Lu Fei couldn't help but be surprised, Zeng Li secretly reminded, "He is thanking you for recommending him to be the leading actor in "Pacific Rim"."
"If it weren't for Mr. Lu's recommendation, I would definitely have missed the first domestic science fiction masterpiece. Thank you for your appreciation. Thank you very much."
Cheng Long solemnly clasped his fists.
"Mutual achievements, mutual benefit and win-win results."
Lu Fei said with a smile: "Although "Pacific Rim" is a domestic science fiction film, it aims at the global market. Who among Chinese films has greater influence in the world film industry than you, and it is you!"
"You can't say that. Mr. Lu could have invited Jet Li, but he chose me. No matter what, I want to thank Mr. Lu for giving me such a precious opportunity."
Cheng Long is grateful from the bottom of his heart, not only for the satisfaction and sense of achievement brought by starring in the first domestic science fiction film, but also for the second spring of his film and television career.
Originally, after "Kung Fu Dream", I had faded away from the Hollywood perspective and no one cared about me. Maybe I would never be able to return to the top in this life, but I didn't expect that I would be taken off by "Pacific Rim"!
The global box office is approaching that of "Rush Hour"!
Thinking of Mr. Lu's growing power in Hollywood, the already dim dream of Hollywood was once again ignited!
"It's a pity that the script of "Pacific Rim 2" is still in the preparation stage, and we don't know when the next collaboration will be."
Lu Fei sighed softly.
"I have a project here. I wonder if Mr. Lu is interested?" Cheng Long climbed up, his eyes full of expectation.
"Is the eldest brother talking about the story of the 'Twelve Zodiac Signs' that I mentioned to me when we were filming?" Zeng Li smiled.
"Yes, yes, the title of the film is "Twelve Zodiac Signs"."
Cheng Long briefly described the plot of the story, with the theme of "zodiac animal heads". The protagonist is a thief who steals cultural relics and makes a fortune at auction. However, under the influence of the cultural relics protector, he suddenly wakes up and decides to help the country recover the missing animal heads.
.
Then he looked at the cute Jing Tian, "I've already thought about the female lead in the movie, so I'll let Jing Tian be the one."
"Me?" Jing Tian blinked his clear eyes.
Zeng Li looked at her playfully, "Tiantian, my eldest brother asked you to be the heroine of the new film. Are you willing?"
Cheng Long was deeply afraid of Jing Tian's rejection, "When we were filming "Pacific Rim", I felt that this kid Jing Tian was talented and spiritual, and would definitely become famous in Hollywood like Zeng Li."
"Well, I'll listen to Fei and follow the arrangements of Mr. Lu and the company."
Jing Tian stuck out his tongue and moved closer to the man.
Lu Fei shook his wine glass, "This script is very suitable for the 'main theme commercial movies' that Han and Tang Dynasties will develop in the future. "Twelve Zodiac Signs" can be regarded as a main theme action movie, and we voted for it!"
"Main theme commercial movie?"
Cheng Long was confused and seemed to understand, "Mr. Lu, is this the kind of movie with the main theme that I understand "The Founding of the People's Republic of China"?"
""The Founding of the People's Republic of China" can be regarded as a main theme movie in a narrow sense, focusing on the revolutionary history of modern times. I am talking in a broad sense."
Lu Fei said in a serious tone: "The scope is wider, and there are more themes. Soldiers, policemen, doctors, scientific researchers, astronauts, whatever is true, good, beautiful and positive in all times are the protagonists and subjects."
"Mr. Lu, please don't laugh at me because I don't know much. The box office performance of a movie with this main theme shouldn't be very impressive, right?"
Cheng Long pondered for a long time.
"On the surface, the main theme movie does not mean low box office. It just lacks the logic of commercial films in terms of subject matter type, story material, narrative structure, shooting techniques, etc.!" Lu Fei said with a smile, "Today's audiences hate watching the main theme, but
I just hate watching movies with boring and preachy themes.”
“I don’t know what main themes there are in the Han and Tang Dynasties?”
Cheng Long's heart skipped a beat.
Zeng Li met Lu Fei's gaze and said understandingly: "Is "Operation Mekong" planned by Wu Jing and Lin Chaoxian the main theme commercial movie you mentioned?"
Lu Fei nodded, "Yes, "Operation Mekong" is about two male protagonists. Are you interested in co-starring with Wu Jing?"
I wish you all the best, Mr. Lu!
Cheng Long was overjoyed and agreed wholeheartedly. He didn't even discuss the salary, but only wanted a chance to star.
"Not only action movies, military movies, and science fiction movies will also emphasize the main theme. Once the model of this main theme movie is slowly figured out, Han and Tang will mass-produce it in the future, not only for the domestic market, but also like "Pacific Rim"
The same is exported to the outside world."
Lu Fei took a sip of wine.
Cheng Long hesitated for a long time and said: "Mr. Lu, I think this kind of theme may have a high box office, but it may only have a market in China. If I want to sell movies in Europe and the United States, based on my experience in Hollywood over the years, it may be difficult for foreigners.
You may not like to watch it.”
"That's because Hollywood is exactly where the American theme is most concentrated, and the concepts are in conflict."
Lu Fei did not refute, "For example, when it comes to the image of Asians, hasn't Hollywood been deliberately emasculating our male attractiveness on the screen? Before you and Bruce Lee, the most famous ones were Fu Manchu and Charlie Chan."
"Yes, that's why I work so hard, just to let them remember that I am Jack Chen and I come from China!"
Cheng Long raised his arms slightly and clenched his fists.
"Just relying on one or two people may not be enough."
Lu Fei shook his head and laughed.
"Actually, my influence in Hollywood has become weaker and weaker over the years." Cheng Long opened his mouth, "I can't get many film contracts," but he couldn't say it out loud. He felt ashamed.
"Have you ever thought about returning to Hollywood?"
Lu Fei patted him on the shoulder and said that Han and Tang were preparing to launch the Killer Universe, and there was a "Quick Chase" tailor-made for him.
Go through fire and water, Mr. Lu!
Cheng Long's eyes widened with excitement.
A few people were chatting lively. The bosses of China Film, Huayi, Bona, Guangguang, and Yinghuang looked from a distance. Although they couldn't hear clearly what they were talking about, they all thought of one thing, that is, it symbolizes the Hong Kong circle.
Cheng Long, who held the banner, fell down in front of the Han and Tang Dynasties! He prostrated himself under the hilltop of the Han and Tang Dynasties!
again!
Counting TVB, Yinghuang and other forces, as well as Wang Jing, Xu Ke and other Hong Kong stars, the dignified Hong Kong circle is about to be annexed by the Han and Tang Dynasties, and only the die-hards who cling to Hong Kong are still resisting!
But the first thing that was anxious was not Hong Kong Circle, but Yu Dong and his Bona who relied on Hong Kong Circle. They saw it and were anxious in their hearts.
As soon as Gao Yuanyuan's speech ended, she immediately left Jin Qiaoqiao behind, but she never expected that there would be so many people ambushing her!
Huayi, Guangguang, Galloping Pony, Wanda Pictures and many other forces swarmed in and surrounded Gao Yuanyuan, Zhong Lifang and other high-level officials of the Han and Tang Dynasties on three levels inside and three outside, vying for cooperation.
Waving banknotes to get a share of the Han and Tang Dynasties!
If you want money, you just need to ask this question, and I will send you the money! It doesn’t matter if you don’t treat me like a human being, you can treat me like a dog!
Seeing Gao Yuanyuan who was struggling to cope, Zeng Li felt distressed and complained, "Yuanyuan has worked too hard, why are you so embarrassed..."
"This is the price of ordering China Entertainment."
The corners of Lu Fei's mouth raised, but actually it didn't matter to him.
The Han and Tang dynasties are now at their peak, and the reason why they are willing to share the cake is to unite various forces in the entertainment industry and integrate resources.
Some are exclusive to the Beijing circle, and some projects allow Hong Kong and Taiwan to participate in investment. Since directors from Hong Kong and Taiwan are here, more and more actors will go north in the next few years. They have to be given opportunities. Integration is a process.
But the premise is, of course, who is more sincere!
"Yuanyuan is also very tired. The company has opened more and more stalls in recent years, from the mainland, Europe and the United States, Japan and South Korea..."
Zeng Li's eyes were full of admiration and not the slightest bit jealous.
Han and Tang have numerous film projects in 2012, including domestic ones such as "Operation Mekong", "Xiu Chun Dao 2", "Di Renjie 2", as well as the pending "Yanjing Meets Seattle", "The Wandering Earth", and now there are more
Got a——
"Twelve Zodiac Signs".
"not only."
Lu Fei patted the back of her hand and said, "After Wu Jing finishes his experience in "Operation Mekong", he will start directing and acting in his own military action movie. In addition, the second part of the IP "Unfortunate" will also start filming.
, as for the director, there were many choices, and I originally wanted to leave it to Ning Hao, but he insisted on saving a script for a road movie."
"Who will it be handed over to in the end?"
Zeng Li cast a curious look.
"Finally leave it to Xu Shanzheng."
Lu Fei put some food on his plate.
"he?!"
Zeng Li was shocked.
"Don't you think it's very unreliable?"
Lu Fei asked.
Zeng Li nodded unabashedly, "When I was filming "To Youth", although I was also a newcomer, I had Xiao Lu to help guide me. I was a producer before and had the ability to manage the crew, but Xu Shanzheng, he seemed
You don’t have any experience in directing or producing, right?”
"None of them, but I believe he can make a movie that is both popular and well-received like you." Lu Fei looked at each other affectionately.
"How do you know that I shot well? The film hasn't been edited yet." Zeng Li rolled her eyes, "Did Shishi, Mimi tell you this?"
Seeing her playful smile, Lu Fei joked: "Of course I'm asking Yuanyuan, I've been caring about you. If you don't finish filming "Youth", what are your plans for the future, my director Zeng?"
"Of course I will continue to make movies. This time I don't need Xiaolu to assist me. I want to try directing by myself."
Zeng Li pursed her lips.
"Just because of this, you gave up "Yenjing Meets Seattle" to Yang Mi? What are you going to film?"
Lu Fei picked up a piece of lamb chop that was charred on the outside and tender on the inside.
"I haven't found the script yet, I'm so annoyed."
Zeng Li was troubled, "I haven't found any outstanding scripts so far. If I can't find one, I'm going to work hard on adapting the best-selling book like "To Youth"."
"If you can't find it at home, why don't you find it abroad?"
Lu Fei couldn't help but laugh and shook it off.
In North America, in addition to "Iron Man 3" and "Thor 2", two Marvel Universe projects are on track, the horror movie universe has also been officially launched, with James Wan fully responsible for "The Conjuring".
After "The Twilight Saga", the Youth Project focused on launching "The Hunger Games" and "The Maze Runner", two best-sellers that topped the click list and paid list of Singularity International Novel Network.
"I can't control these."
Zeng Li shook her head, showing little interest.
"What about "Ex Machina", are you interested?"
Lu Fei suddenly thought of the prize-winning work he had prepared for Liu Shishi.
When Zeng Li heard the name "Ex Machina", she subconsciously felt unconfident, "A science fiction movie? I'm not Guo Fan. I don't understand and I can't make it, so forget it."
"This is not difficult to photograph."
Lu Fei recounted the plot of "Ex Machina" in detail, which made Zeng Li's eyes light up and her heart slowly began to move.
"Sounds good, who is it for?"
"Who else can it be, Shishi? She is the 'Koi Goddess' that our Caifubao and Hantang focus on creating. The second phase of the packaging plan is over. It's time to go abroad to plating a layer of gold before coming back."
"Two female robots, Shishi will play one, and Sissy will play the other one. What do you think?"
Zeng Li thought about it carefully and then looked up.
"Both of them? Do you think Liu Yifei will be willing to match Shishi?" Lu Fei raised his eyebrows.
"Yes, their relationship is not bad, just think of it as a stepping stone for Sissi to break into Hollywood again." Zeng Li looked for Liu Yifei in the crowd, "Sissi is also quite miserable. She was said to be a four-star actress, but it turned out that the other three
This girl is getting more and more popular, but she, who used to be the number one among the four, is now the last one."
"You seem to care about her very much?" Lu Fei asked doubtfully.
"I just care about her for you. She cares about you very much." Zeng Li reminded: "A bowl of water will not be equal, but at least you have to give her some rain and dew, otherwise the flowers will wither."
"What about you, senior?"
Lu Fei smiled and hugged her waist.
"Don't be here, there are so many people watching!"
Zeng Li looked around and realized that no one noticed the ambiguous little moves between them, so she couldn't help but breathed a sigh of relief.
"tonight……"
"No, not even for a while."
"What a coincidence, that one is here?"
Lu Fei's eyes became more concerned.
"It's not my aunt who's here, it's your child who's here."
Zeng Li pinched him secretly.
"Child...is here again?!"
Lu Fei suddenly became energetic.
Zeng Li poked her eyes out in an angry manner, looking very charming.
"Why are you just saying it now? You are not afraid of any accidents if you take your children on a road show."
Lu Fei is already a father, but he is still very excited.
"I also felt uncomfortable during the road show, and I didn't know until I got tested." Zeng Li said with a smile, "So be honest during this period."
"I will stay with you today and do nothing."
Lu Fei held her hand tightly.
"You just mentioned "Ex Machina", and the first thing I thought of was that I could take this opportunity to give birth in the United States."
Zeng Li smiled and said: "How about it, are you surprised by my Christmas gift? Do you like it?"
Lu Fei hummed and drank the wine in one gulp.
"Tiantian said they were repairing Christmas gifts for you." Zeng Li lowered her voice, "Sissi asked me to tell you that she has prepared it for you. She cares about you as much as the three girls. You can decide for yourself whether you want it or not.
Take it?"
Lu Fei is so excited, I am not! I am not!
"It's up to you whether you want to eat or not. Yuanyuan and I can't stop you, but at least she seems to be happy to be eaten by you."
Zeng Li rolled her eyes.
Lu Fei followed her gaze and saw that Liu Yifei was also looking at them, and the two eyes collided and intertwined——
Sparks gradually came out due to friction.
Thanks to Princess Sissi for the 1,000 starting coins.
