Chapter 428 Movie Night
Since the Movie Channel Chinese Movie Night was held in Cannes in 2008, it has been warmly welcomed by the film festival.
I may not mean to take you for granted.
During the 2008 financial crisis, the whole world was short of money. Of course, Chinese people bringing money to Cannes were welcomed.
This year, the movie channel was also generous and directly reserved a beach to hold this event.
The guests present were all big names, the various performances were dazzling, and even the accompanying drinks and food were praised by the guests.
Cheng Yu'an acted as the flower protector. Liu Yifei on the left and Yang Mi on the right arrived at the activity beach together.
After signing autographs and taking photos at the entrance, the three of them entered the venue.
What came over was Director Zhang Piming of the Film Bureau.
"It's not easy to meet you." Director Zhang pulled Cheng Yu'an and smiled.
"I've been busy lately." Cheng Yu'an held Zhang Ju's hand.
Liu and Yang said they were going to say hello to others and left.
"Is "Thieves" almost 1 billion?"
"I haven't watched much recently." Cheng Yu'an really hasn't watched "The Thief" for several days.
Director Zhang said: "I took a look before you came. It's 930 million. It shouldn't be a problem to break one billion."
This is good news. Director Zhang continued: "Do a good job. You can go shopping by yourself. I'll go over there."
As the person in charge, Director Zhang had too many people to greet, so he accompanied Cheng Yu'an after saying a few words and then walked away.
This movie night is equivalent to a Chinese film promotion meeting. The first film to be promoted this year is "Dwelling in the Fuchun Mountains" invested by the movie channel itself. The focus of Yang Mi's visit is this film; the second is Huayi's most important film this year.
Project, "Zodiac" directed by Jackie Chan.
"Director Cheng has made a lot of money for our domestic films." Wang Zhonglei greeted Cheng Yu'an enthusiastically, and then said half-jokingly, "Fortunately, Huayi did not enter the May Day slot this year."
Cheng Yu'an laughed and said: "The schedule was set too early, and I didn't expect that several imported films would be released, so I had to bite the bullet. Luck, haha, good luck."
Cheng Yu'an asked about the situation of Feng Xiaogang's "1942": "Has it been scheduled?"
Wang Zhonglei smiled bitterly: "It's still in the late stages, I don't know when it will be finalized."
"1942" has been very difficult every step of the way from preparation to filming to now completion.
It is said that during the preparation period for "1942", Feng Xiaogang and the Wang brothers knew that the movie would not make money.
But Feng Xiaogang still insisted on making "1942" because he wanted to gamble on the audience's level and aesthetics.
It turned out later that he lost the bet.
Putting this aside, just saying that Feng Xiaogang can make a film like "1942" is worthy of praise. Besides, "1942" was shot very well.
We will talk about "1942" later.
Wang Zhonglei and Cheng Yu'an talked with smiles on their faces, but they actually felt uncomfortable.
The heroine of Zhou Xingxing's "Journey to the West: Conquering the Demons" was remotely pried away!
Miss Duan was originally assigned to Shu Qi by Huayi, but she came out halfway and snatched the role away from her remotely.
And according to other sources, Yuanyuan even wants to cut off the entire "Journey to the West" from Huayi.
This was absolutely impossible for the Wang brothers to accept, so Wang Zhonglei personally sent an email to Zhou Xingxing, proposing to add a box office sharing agreement to the original movie share.
Zhou Xingxing saw that the conditions were very favorable, so he gave up contact with Yuan Yuan, but it was better for the heroine to sell Yuan Yuan.
After all, as a new girl, Nini has a marketing advantage over Shu Qi.
The protagonists of today's movie night are definitely Jackie Chan's "Twelve Zodiac Signs" and Andy Lau's "Dwelling in the Fuchun Mountains".
But Brother Hua won't arrive in Cannes for two days, so the heroine Yang Mi holds up the stage.
What is Pai Nian?
What is super first-line treatment!
Jackie Chan continued to build momentum for "Zodiac" at the scene, repeatedly saying that this would be his last action film.
But the reporter said that in the May Day episode that just ended, Jackie Chan's Macau Park in "A League of Thieves" also had many exciting action scenes.
Jackie Chan explained: "I'm not saying that I won't fight. In fact, I can still fight. What I mean is that I won't make big pure action movies like "Zodiac" in the future."
"Director Cheng of "A League of Thieves" is in the audience." Jackie Chan said and waved to Cheng Yu'an in the audience. "Actually, when he asked me to play Macau Park, I refused. I said at that time that I would not film.
It was such an adventurous action movie, but when I read the script later, I realized that Macau Park had very few action scenes, and his role was more to connect the two groups of thieves together. I like this kind of character very much."
"You see, I played a very decadent policeman in "New Police Story", I almost became a gangster boss in "Shinjuku Incident", I played a soldier who was greedy for life and afraid of death, and I was a soldier in "New Shaolin Temple"
Ordinary fire-headed monk, I hope the audience can know me more in the future, I am not only a martial arts star, I am also an actor, I can act in different scripts."
It's actually quite sad that Jackie Chan only has the freedom to transform at this age.
Speaking of his transformation journey, Jackie Chan admitted that it was very difficult: "They still want to see me play. I will find the script by myself. Even if it is a newcomer's script, if I like it, I will take the initiative to ask the director if I can act in it."
Jackie Chan said that his idol on the road to transformation was Robert De Niro: "His acting skills may be better than mine, but my movements are better, but he can act in anything. This is what I want to do."
When talking about future filming, Jackie Chan said that he wanted to cooperate with new directors, but the reporter asked him: "Will young directors be afraid to cooperate with you?"
Jackie Chan cueed Cheng Yu'an in the audience and asked with a smile: "Director Cheng, is it difficult for me to cooperate?"
Cheng Yuan waved his hands repeatedly, saying that Jackie Chan was very cooperative.
The reporter rolled his eyes inwardly. Cheng Yu'an's identity and honor are there, so of course he can talk to you on an equal footing.
Jackie Chan saw the trap of this question, so he took the initiative and said: "It seems that I cooperated with Ding Sheng of "Little Soldier". You see, I was far away on the set. I said yes to everything he said because I didn't respect him.
, no one respects him, I want to be the first to respect him. When I returned to the hotel in the evening, I said it should be like this, and he expressed his own thoughts. When I arrived at the scene, I praised him, and others praised me, and I praised others. This is
It’s cyclical. There is always something out there, and I always know that there is no one who is the strongest.”
This is the difficulty of a small director paired with a big actor.
Including later fan economic traffic movies.
Do you think the director doesn't know that this actor is bad? But the young director was ignored by the management and the big actors, and he had no say in the crew at all.
Cheng Yu'an and Liu Yifei acted as spectators at the scene, and they only said a few words when they were cueed, and they did not steal the limelight.
