Chapter 159 Schedule
After the Spring Festival, Liu Yifei and Qin Hao continued filming, and the "Inception" crew is about to rush to England to shoot.

The Berlin International Film Festival takes place at this time every year, but this time it’s better, with the opening ceremony on the first day of the Lunar New Year.

Gu Wei once again rejected the official invitation from the film festival as he really couldn't make it in time.

From China, only Wang Xiaoshuai's "Left and Right" and Du Qifeng's "Wenque" were shortlisted for the main competition unit.

Wang Xiaoshuai is a frequent guest at major film festivals, but Gu Wei has never heard of him shooting commercial films, almost all of which are art films.

...

domestic.

The box office of "CJ7" has officially exceeded 100 million yuan, and "Slam Dunk" starring Zhou Jielun followed closely. The two movies met during the Spring Festival, bringing rich box office revenue to the theaters.

The subject matter of this movie is very suitable for the whole family to watch during the Spring Festival, and the combination of love, basketball and popular idols in "Slam Dunk" is the natural choice for the younger generation.

Well, ignoring the quality of the film.

The screenwriters' strike in the United States finally ended a week before the Oscars ceremony.

According to statistics, the total losses during the strike reached 32 billion US dollars. In the end, the screenwriters won and the profit-sharing agreement was supported.

After domestic screenwriters got the news, they began to get restless, but in the end, everything remained calm and nothing happened.

Meanwhile, the Berlin Film Festival came to an end.

Wang Xiaoshuai's "Left and Right" won the Silver Bear Award, and the Golden Bear Award was won by Brazil's "Elite Force".

The domestic release date has also been set, April 4st, April Fools' Day. Fortunately, it is three weeks away from "The Forbidden Kingdom", so it is estimated that it will still get some box office revenue.

Tangren released news about "Legend of Sword and Fairy III".

The audience still remembers vividly the "Legend of Sword and Fairy" starring Liu Yifei a few years ago.

Each character has his or her own story, and the TV series has also made a group of actors famous.

Hu Ge and Liu Yifei reaped the biggest benefits.

According to the information released by Tangren, Hu Ge has been chosen as the male lead, and Yang Mi is likely to be the female lead. The other characters have not yet been confirmed.

Many people in the circle are asking about the role, but Tangren’s style of doing things is likely to disappoint many people.

There is more and more gossip on the Internet.

"Xu Sanduo's" love affair was reported by the media.

I heard that the other party is a college student majoring in broadcasting.

But these are all minor matters. The major domestic portals and forums suddenly regarded them as news from Hong Kong Island.

Even Gu Wei, who was in Hollywood, received a lot of news.

A big earthquake has hit the entertainment industry.

The incident happened before the Spring Festival, but the news became more popular after the festival.

Even the news of the start of filming of the new version of Dream of Red Mansions was completely covered up.

At this time, Gu Wei did not attend this year's Oscar awards ceremony, but returned directly to China.

"Painted Skin" is about to be released, and he has to go back to attend the premiere. In addition, Wang Zhonglei of Huayi Company also wants to talk to him about something.

.........

Xingchen Films first released the poster and trailer of "Painted Skin", fully demonstrating the film's oriental magical style.

Huang Xiaoming and Jiao Enjun are dressed in armor, exuding masculinity.

Zhou Xun is like a fairy, feminine and charming.

Yuan Quan was elegant and graceful.

Different from the Jiangnan water town style of the old version of "Painted Skin", this version is set in the western desert, creating a heroic and mysterious style.

This poster and trailer attracted a lot of attention.

"Director Wu Ershan is good at editing. I look forward to the release of the movie."

"Well, it's not as pretty as Teacher Chen's photo."

...

After landing at the Capital Airport, Gu Wei was unable to escape the reporters who were waiting for him.

"Director Gu, there's been a lot of talk about Chen. What do you think?"

"What do you think? I haven't even seen the entire photo, how can I comment on it?"

Gu Wei thought silently in his heart, "I don't know much about this matter, and I don't have anything to say."

"I came back to attend the premiere of Painted Skin. I don't know much about other things."

After answering a few more questions, Gu Wei got into the company car and returned to the company.

After arriving at the company, Gu Wei found that many people were discussing something, and he knew what was going on without asking.

"Is this a big deal?"

Arriving at the office, Gu Wei asked Wang Chen.

"The internet was flooded with reports and photos were widely circulated. No one in the industry dared to talk about it these days, fearing that they would get into trouble."

Wang Chen said while trying hard to suppress his smile.

"Did you see the photo?"

“Yeah, it’s a pretty good shot.”

"Haha."

The two looked at each other and laughed.

"The Hong Kong entertainment industry is going to be in complete chaos now."

After laughing for a while, Gu Wei sighed.

"I heard that Chen has secretly left Hong Kong Island. I don't know if it's true."

"It's probably true. After this incident, there's no place for him in the circle anymore."

...

China Film Group.

"Director Han, I'm here to inform you. Don't forget the premiere at the end of the month."

In the office, Gu Wei took a sip of tea and spoke slowly.

"Oh, I see."

Han Sanping replied weakly.

"Are you okay, Mr. Han? The photo incident won't affect you."

"Bullshit, I am just annoyed by that."

Han Sanping said unhappily.

The disastrous failure of "The Warlords" made Han Sanping a bit worried, and the subsequent "Red Cliff" also made him anxious. If the box office failed, China Film Group's two years of work would be in vain.

"How's the film editing going? When will it be released?" Han Sanping suddenly stared at Gu Wei and asked.

"Fuck, you don't want me to take over, do you?" Gu Wei felt a little uncomfortable with Han Sanping's look, and then he said, "It will probably be released in the second half of the year, and the editing will take time."

"Let's set the date first. You can choose any time in China."

After saying this, Han Sanping took out the screening schedule of imported films and handed it to Gu Wei.

Gu Wei didn't hesitate and took it and started to read it.

May, June, and then the Olympics.

"Why not put it at eleven?"

Originally, Gu Wei planned to release it at the end of the year, but then he changed his mind and decided to release it during the National Day holiday. He looked at the schedule of imported blockbusters.

The National Day holiday movies include "Valkyrie", "Body of Lies" and "Miracle at St. Anna", none of which are considered blockbusters. "Interstellar" can completely crush them.

"confirmed?"

Han Sanping glanced sideways. He thought Gu Wei would choose at the end of the year.

"Well, that's the time."

"Okay, China Film Group will announce it, and we will also arrange promotion for the film."

Gu Wei didn't stay in China Film for long. After completing his goal, he left and returned to the company.

...

The impact of the "photo gate" goes far beyond this, and other film and television companies in the circle have taken action.

Orange Sky Entertainment has terminated all announcements of its artists in Hong Kong Island, including Tang Yan.

After all, no one can guarantee how widespread the impact of this incident will be.

In the crew of "Mei Lanfang".

Brother Chen Kai stayed in the room and cursed for a while.

The other people in the crew didn't dare to bring bad luck and stayed away.

"How to do?"

Chen Hong came to Brother Chen Kai and asked, unable to hide the irritation on her face.

"What else can we do?" Brother Chen Kai cursed for a while, then calmed down a little. When he saw Chen Hong coming over, he sat down helplessly.

"Delete it."

After a pause, these words came out of his mouth.

"But with such cuts, the movie basically can't be connected from beginning to end."

Chen Hong was a little impatient.

"I'll do it myself and try not to interfere with the main plot."

When Chen Hong heard this, she didn't object. At the moment, this was the best solution, and Zhong's role must be cut.

After the crew of "My Captain, My Regiment" completed their preparations, Kang Honglei did not delay and took his people to the filming location to start filming in a low-key manner.

The media also went to interview many people. After all, it was invested by Xingchen Films, so there were many topics.

In Huayi Company.

Brother Wang Zhonglei is discussing something in the office.

"How should I reply to Gu Wei about the 10 million shares?"

Wang Zhongjun was a little conflicted at this time. The share Gu Wei asked for was too large. Wang Zhongjun still admired his vision.

However, there has been no precedent for a domestic film and television company to go public, and not many of the company's artists have subscribed to the shares, so everyone is seriously lacking in confidence.

"Promise him."

After hesitating for a moment, Wang Zhongjun spoke.

"Is this sure to be okay?"

On such an important matter, Wang Zhonglei still has to listen to his brother, but he still has some concerns.

"Let's do it this way. The support that an internationally renowned director can bring to a listing is unmatched by other actors and artists.

Besides, once Gu Wei joins, the company's IPO amount is expected to increase significantly."

"Okay, I'll go talk to him in person."

Having made up their minds, the two brothers did not hesitate.

There were signs that something was not right between Wang Jinghua and Cheng Sky Entertainment. Careful reporters discovered that none of the artists that Cheng Sky had signed recently were under Wang Jinghua.

"I won't choose to change jobs again."

"Do you really want to be a slave to three families?"

Some people complained online.

The post-production of "Painted Skin" has been completed long ago, and now Ning Hao is using the company's equipment with "Racing".

"The director is back."

Ning Hao saw Gu Wei with his mouth wide open, and it was obvious that he was not holding back his fart.

"Well, how's the later period?"

"It will be soon. It will probably take another two months."

Hearing this, Gu Wei was a little bit unconvinced. What kind of film? It took four or five months to edit. Gu Wei remembered that the post-production of "Racing" had started last year.

"Okay, take your time."

This guy has returned to his old problem: the editing is too slow.

"Director, I plan to release the movie at the end of the year."

Ning Hao didn't notice Gu Wei's tone and spoke cheerfully.

"As you wish."

Seeing that Gu Wei was a little speechless, he pretended not to hear.

Then he started talking to Gu Wei about the photo, his face full of excitement, and it was obvious that he had looked at it many times.

"I'm telling you, director, it's really exciting."

"Haha."

The staff nearby also laughed after hearing this.

A group of people then started discussing postures, all of them were LSPs.

Gu Wei shook his head and went into the office.
