Chapter 277 Jing Tian's Acting Skills
In 10, the average house price in the capital was around yuan, and the average price in Shanghai was around yuan.
Most of the scenes for Ode to Joy were shot on a floor in Shanghai, telling the story of five young women from all over the world.
Liu Yifei and Su Chang took their assistants and flew to the shooting location.
Both of them were dressed fully armed, wearing hats, masks and sunglasses, and were followed by two assistants.
After arriving at the scene, Liu Yifei recognized Liu Tao's assistant, and she and Su Chang walked up to her and patted her.
"You are…"
The assistant was a little confused and didn't recognize the two people.
As Liu Yifei took off her mask and revealed her delicate face, the assistant immediately showed an expression of disbelief and covered his mouth with his hands.
"Shh, they are filming."
The young lady smiled sweetly and pointed her finger inside and asked.
"Uh-huh."
The female assistant nodded unconsciously.
...
The premiere of "My Beauty Boss".
When Gu Wei and others were chatting, many people at the scene looked over here, especially the Hong Kong actors, who turned their heads to look from time to time, but no one dared to come over and disturb them.
"Director Gu, you are here too."
Unlike others, Huang Xiaoming came over and said hello.
"Director Jiang, Director Ning... President Song."
Watching Huang Xiaoming greet everyone one by one, Gu Wei felt a little emotional. Otherwise, how could it be said that the master is so popular? He tries his best to maintain relationships in all aspects and is also very polite.
Wu Ershan had worked with him on two films and spent the longest time together on the crew. The two had a good relationship and after greeting each other, they started chatting.
After Lu Zheng left Gu Wei and the others, he went directly to Jing Tian and saw her chatting with the guests present. He said:
"Tiantian, Director Gu and the others are here, come over and say hello."
Jing Tian was delighted when he heard this, and quickly apologized to everyone else, then followed Lu Zheng to the side.
"Boss Lu is quite capable. Several directors from Xingchen Film and Television are here."
Someone whispered something as they watched the two people leave.
"I guess they came here to give Wanda face. After all, they have the advantage of cinema chains, and even big directors have to give them face."
Someone next to him said with envy in his eyes, it’s different when there’s someone supporting you.
Jing Tian followed Lu Zheng and when he came near Gu Wei, he saw them chatting and laughing with Huang Xiaoming.
"Director Gu, Director Jiang..."
"long time no see."
Gu Wei smiled gently. He saw that the other person was wearing a black sleeveless long dress, an ornament on her neck, her hair tied up high, and a mature makeup on her face, which was very different from her previous image.
"Tiantian, I wish your movie will be a big hit at the box office."
"Thank you, Director Ning."
After everyone chatted for a while, Lu Zheng and Jing Tian went to say hello to other people. There were a lot of people coming today, and as the protagonists, they had to take care of all aspects.
After about an hour, the movie started.
People took their seats one after another and the show started on the big screen.
...
On the other side, Liu Tao and Jiang Xin, who were visiting Liu Yifei and Su Chang, seemed very happy.
"Hello, Director Jian, I hope I didn't disturb your filming."
The arrival of the two people made the on-site staff unconsciously put down their work and start discussing with each other in a low voice.
"It's okay, I'm not disturbing you. Welcome Yifei and Suchang to visit us."
Just kidding, two first-line actresses coming to the crew, this is such a big topic, a little bit of coverage can bring up quite a bit of topic.
Although Jian Chuanzhi is paid as a director, if the TV series he produces have high ratings, it can also increase his popularity in the circle.
"It's rare for Yifei to come over, so let's finish work early today."
"Thank you, director."
"Welcome Yifei."
No employee would object to being able to leave work early.
"I brought some snacks and fruits for everyone, share them among you."
"Yifei, Changchang, wait a moment, let's go take off our makeup and go out and get together later."
Liu Tao and Jiang Xin said beside them.
"Uh-huh."
Liu Yifei nodded, but she couldn't rest because some people came over to ask for her autograph and take photos with her.
"My Beautiful Boss" is about an hour and a half long. The theme of the film is clear, which is the story of a rich girl and a poor boy. The story is not new.
"Jingtian's acting skills have improved. It's obviously much better than when he was filming "Warring States"."
Ning Hao praised in a low voice.
"Maybe it's because of the subject matter."
"Clap clap clap."
When the movie ended, everyone applauded politely.
That afternoon, the media reported on the premiere ceremony held by the Starry Company.
"Director Ning Hao praised Jing Tian's acting skills on the spot."
"Director Jiang Wen said Jing Tian played himself in the film and was optimistic about the box office."
"After watching the film, Director Gu Wei praised the subject matter and expressed optimism about Jingtian's future development." I don't know how much money Lu Zheng gave to the media reporters, but the reports were all positive.
After seeing the news, Gu Wei wanted to laugh. Jiang Wen was right next to him at the time. He clearly said that he admired the courage of the film to face challenges, but when it was spread out, it turned into being optimistic about the box office.
In addition to the reports on the Jingtian premiere, Gu Wei also saw photos of Liu Yifei, Su Chang, Liu Tao and others having dinner together, as well as reports of the two of them bringing things to visit the crew.
The group ate, drank and had fun, providing a lot of material for the paparazzi.
The next day, which was the 30th.
"My Beauty Boss" officially landed in major theaters, and the box office reached 730 million on the first day.
Compared with the original time and space, there are obvious differences, which also shows that Lu Zheng’s efforts were not in vain.
Although the film does not have a large cast and does not feature any first-line stars, it received good reviews on the first day after its release.
“The subject matter of the movie is not new, and even a bit old-fashioned, but it is very healing and can be considered a qualified love movie.”
"Jingtian is the heroine, but there is no kissing scene in the whole film. It's hard for the hero."
"Director Ning Hao is right. Jing Tian's acting skills have obviously improved."
...
Even if someone responded, it still couldn't stop the momentum of "The Great Earthquake".
It broke 8 million in 3 days and 10 million in 4 days. Not only that, the General Administration also announced a postponement, and the whole of August will still be the scene of this movie.
"The General Administration's actions have severely hurt other films and dampened the enthusiasm of other film and television companies in the industry."
"The Founding of a Republic didn't even have this kind of treatment. How can the screening of Earthquake be postponed after it was booked out?"
In addition to other companies’ comments, Jiang Wen also said a few words on Weibo: “I hope that Let the Bullets Fly can also get this kind of treatment. It’s also a big investment, so the treatment shouldn’t be too different.”
With Jiang Wen taking the lead, other directors followed suit, and for a while the Internet was full of such news.
Huayi Company learned its lesson this time and kept silent, deciding to eat its fill first and talk about other things after the movie is taken off the screen.
Gu Wei remained silent when facing the interview with reporters. The high box office of "Aftershock" drove up the stock price of Huayi Company, and the shares he held naturally became more valuable.
"I'll find an opportunity next year and try selling some shares."
Gu Wei had this idea in his mind. He calculated that after Huayi went public, its peak period was only three to five years, and then it began to decline.
The first trailer of Wuershan's "Painted Skin 2" was released. The beautiful pictures and shocking special effects aroused the expectations of a large number of fans.
At the same time, Guangxian also announced that it will launch the movie "Painted Wall".
"The film is adapted from Strange Stories from a Chinese Studio, telling the fantasy adventure story of a scholar who went to Beijing to take an imperial examination and accidentally entered a wonderland of murals."
"Guangguang will invest 30 million and invite Hong Kong director Chen Jiashang to direct."
"The popular actor Deng Chao and his wife Sun Li will star in the film, and Yan Ni, Zheng Shuang, Zou Zhaolong, Bao Beier and others will also join the cast."
"Guangguang hosts Xie Nan and Liu Yan are confirmed to play supporting roles."
Guangguang had just launched the project, and after the script passed review, it announced the details of the film.
"This is obviously an imitation of Painted Skin. Even the name is similar."
Some netizens raised questions.
"The names are similar, but there is a slight difference in the actors."
"It's OK. Deng Chao and Sun Li are a couple, and the actors are pretty good."
While netizens outside were discussing the matter, Wang Changtian took time out to visit Xingchen Film and Television Company.
"Sure, Mr. Wang, the cost is only 30 million, so we invited Deng Chao and his wife to join us."
Deng Chao is currently a popular first-line actor. Even though Sun Li was affected by the sponsorship scandal, her status in the circle is not low, and the combined pay of the two will not be small.
"Hey, I won't hide it from you, this time they both reduced their pay, but there are conditions."
Wang Changtian explained cheerfully.
"Oh, it's not that Deng Chao wants you to invest in a movie and be the director."
In the original time and space, Guangguang was troubled by the lack of a big director to work with regularly, so it recruited a group of actors and invested in their projects.
Xu Zheng and Deng Chao are among the representatives.
"Awesome, nothing can be hidden from you. It's true. Deng Chao has written a book and is looking for investment everywhere. Now we have discussed it and decided to do it together."
"Haha, I just guessed it, but you won't suffer any loss."
Gu Wei waved his hand and said with a smile.
"Well, brother, I won't hide it anymore. This time I came here to ask your company to produce the post-production special effects for Painted Skin. You have the best special effects company in China, and I don't feel comfortable handing it over to other companies."
Wang Changtian flattered him secretly and said to Gu Wei seriously.
"Boss Wang, there will be no problem with the special effects production. I just took on "Warring States" and "Flying Daggers of Dragon Gate", so it will probably be late."
After thinking for a moment, Gu Wei said directly that he and Wang Changtian had known each other the longest, so there was no need to trick him.
"Approximately how long will it take?"
"The earliest it will be is early next year, at least until the end of Warring States is completed."
Wang Changtian was sitting on the sofa thinking about it, and Gu Wei didn't disturb him when he saw this.
About five minutes later, Wang Changtian said, "Okay, I plan to release this movie in the second half of next year, so it doesn't matter if it's later.
But can you give us a better price? Guangguang is not as wealthy as other companies."
"Haha, OK, I'll give you a 20% discount."
Gu Wei shook his head and made a promise to the other party. Song Ge next to him also smiled.
If I tell others, I'm afraid no one would believe that a well-known film company boss in the industry would actually bargain here.
