As a result, this article appeared in media reports about the "Tangshan Earthquake":

""The Great Earthquake" premiered in Tangshan. Cheng Yu'an praised Zhang Zifeng for his powerful spirit and wanted to invite him to star in the new drama."

Even more exaggerated: "Cheng Yu'an made an appointment with Zhang Zifeng on the spot, and the new drama has a tailor-made script for him."

The accompanying picture is a photo of Cheng Yuan holding Zhang Zifeng at the premiere.

New drama? Didn’t it say there won’t be any new dramas this year?

The reporters were confused and asked remotely.

Chen Zhixi, President of the Remote Film Division, responded: "Director Cheng just likes Zhang Zifeng's performance. We have no clue about the new film yet, but we do not rule out the possibility of follow-up cooperation."

At the same time, the London premiere of "Inception" has been sent back to China, and the domestic media naturally focused on Liu Yifei:

"The most anticipated movie this summer is the latest masterpiece "Inception" by the great director Christopher Nolan. The movie premiered in London yesterday, and "Jack" Leonardo DiCaprio... And the movie

Liu Yifei, who plays Adrian in the middle, appeared in a black evening dress, sweeping away her previous image of the 'fairy sister' and looking elegant and extraordinary."

The picture sent back to China was of Liu Yifei walking on the red carpet with Xiao Li on her arm.

Poor Cheng Yuan did not appear in media reports, and there was not even a picture.

Since yesterday, Liu Yifei has spared no effort to promote "Inception" on her personal Weibo. Weibo has posted ten consecutive posts, including posters and red carpet pictures from the London premiere.

Let the heavenly powder satisfy your addiction.

"Sissi is so beautiful!"

"I have been looking forward to it for a whole year, just waiting for "Inception" to be released in China!"

"I was at the scene, and I want to say that Sissi is not photogenic in person, but she is ten times more beautiful offline than in photos!"

Among the photos exposed by Liu Yifei are photos of herself and Cheng Yuan.

"Who is this person? Why are you holding Qian Qian's waist?" There are many people who don't know Cheng Yu'an.

"Are you crazy? He is Cheng Yu'an, the largest investor in "Inception", Sissi's boss, and Sissi's rumored boyfriend."

“Dog man crawls!”

“Dog man crawls 1”

“Dog Man Climb 2”

“Dog man crawls”

Judging from the response to the London premiere, "Inception" achieved very good results in Nolan's hometown.

All major media have given very high evaluations, so I won’t go into details here.

By this time, Cheng Yuan had already landed in Los Angeles.

After landing, Cheng Yuan rushed to the company non-stop.

Cheng Lingfeng had a pretty good idea of ​​the company's situation and had already moved into a new office to work with Bob. It would only take ten and a half days for Bob to officially retire after handing over the things at hand.

How busy is an international superstar like Leonardo?

Let's put it this way, his film schedule has been scheduled for three years. If he were not extremely picky about the script, the schedule would be further back.

Nowadays, Xiao Li is very restrained in filming, only one or two films a year. Therefore, there is still room for him to film. It is not difficult to find his rest time and the script and salary are in place.

Another thing is that for "Inception," Lee has to travel around the world with the crew. Real global promotion is very tiring.

In comparison, Liu Yifei only needs to travel to a few countries, take a short break in August, and then return to China for promotion at the end of August.

Liu Yifei is not in the United States now and has gone to Singapore to promote.

Cheng Yuan came to the company. Cheng Lingfeng was reading a book. Seeing Cheng Yuan coming, she said:

"Bob's newly bought adaptation rights. I don't like novels like this. This kind of bestseller is really boring."

Cheng Lingfeng personally prefers classic literature and is not very interested in current best-selling books.

This is why she rarely gets involved in IP adaptation, as her aesthetics is not in this area.

"What book?" Cheng Yu'an took the book from Cheng Lingfeng's hand.

The title of the book is written in large letters on the cover: "The Hunger Game".

Translated as "The Hunger Games".

"Wow! This book is very popular, and Bob actually bought it." Bob gave himself such a big gift before he retired.

"Bob told me that he had been talking to Susan Collins about this book since October 2008, and he didn't sign the contract with her until last month. This bitch gave us a hard time."

"How much does she want?" Cheng Yu'an asked.

"She started asking for an adaptation license of US$3 million plus a 7% share of box office profits." This is what Bob told her.

"Who does she think she is? Rowling?" Only Rowling is qualified to make such a quote, why is Susan Collins!

"She just saw that the adaptation we did before had good results and wanted to get more points." Could Cheng Lingfeng not know what she was thinking?

"As soon as the offer came out, famous producers in Hollywood scolded her for being crazy for wanting to make money. Jimmy Hogwarts, the vice president of Universal, called her a crazy woman by name during a meeting."

The cooperation between a major film company and Universal is in the honeymoon period, and Universal is definitely on Bob's side.

"In the end, after dragging on for more than a year or two, Susan Collins finally relented and bought out the rights to adapt the entire series of "The Hunger Games" for US$1.5 million. Susan Collins will be named as the screenwriter, and she will be paid an additional US$140,000 in screenwriting fees for each film.

.”

"It's still too much." According to Cheng Yu'an's temper, he wouldn't give 1.5 million, and he wouldn't ask for more than 1 million for the adaptation rights to "The Hunger Games."

But since it has been taken down by Bob, the three to five million yuan is no longer a concern.

"Universal is also very optimistic about "The Hunger Games" and wants to develop it with us," Cheng Lingfeng said.

"I'm overthinking it. We'll make this movie ourselves." The cost of the four-part series is less than 200 million US dollars, and the global box office is 3 billion US dollars. How about splitting it with Universal? What are you thinking!

"But the distribution and peripherals can still be given to Universal." It's just business as usual.

"Will this movie be filmed this year?" Cheng Lingfeng asked.

"You can first write the script and find actors, wait a year, start filming next year, and release it the year after that. There is no rush." ​​Cheng Yu'an is waiting for the political correctness in Hollywood.

"The Hunger Games" is an action movie with a female protagonist, and what he was waiting for was the feminist style.

"This can be played by Sissi," Cheng Lingfeng mentioned.

"Forget it, her skills are fine, but this is a Western dystopian story, and it's not appropriate for Sissy to appear in it." It's not that Cheng Yu'an never thought about letting his girlfriend play Katniss, but the movie scenes he imagined were very

Awkward, Liu Yifei’s face was out of place in the whole film, “Let’s do the script first, and we’ll talk about the actors later.”

"The Hunger Games" takes no rush.

"Hey, are you going to Ranqiu's wedding at the end of the month?"

Cheng Lingfeng said: "How can I have time to go?" Now that she had just taken over the company, she had too many things to be busy with.

The aunt and nephew were discussing the development of the company in the office. After a while, Lucy (formerly Bob's secretary, now Bob no longer needs it, and followed Cheng Lingfeng) knocked on the door and came in: "Boss, there are two Chinese people outside the door who want to see you.

"

"Have you made a reservation?"

Lucy shook her head: "No, but he said his name was Wang Zhonglei."

"Why is he here?" Cheng Yu'an muttered, "Please go to the reception room. I'll come over later."

"Stop thinking nonsense," Cheng Lingfeng reminded Cheng Yu'an when she saw that he couldn't understand. "In order to tie up Li Bingbing, Huayi gave her the heroine of "Iron Armor Steel Fist" and signed the contract with the other hand. A few days before the movie
