China Entertainment’s rescue plan is hard to come by

Chapter 795 Interview and Wedding Room

Originally, the circle has always been looking forward to Sun Yi and Liu Yifei's new film.

After all, one is the most outstanding director at the moment, and the other is the most capable national goddess at the moment.

When the two of them work together, it's like honey and oil, dry wood and passionate flames, cough cough, no, it's a perfect match, with full understanding.

But when news about the film's subject matter came out some time ago, everyone was a little confused.

Liu Yifei? Rural themes?

No way, with her looks and appearance, can she play a rural role?
Especially in the rural areas in the 80s.

You see, when Zhang Guoshi was filming "Under the Hawthorn Tree", he had to find someone like Little Yellow Duck for the female lead, otherwise she would have to leave the show.

Liu Yifei has an ethereal air, and her temperament seems to be out of place in the countryside.

Although people in the circle are not optimistic about this movie, after all, this is Starry Sky’s “family affair”. Money can’t buy my willingness, and as an outsider, I have no right to interfere. What’s more, Starry Sky’s strength is there, and no one dares to gossip publicly. At most, they will discuss it in private.

Time passed quickly, and after a few months, the movie was completed.

I also heard that when it was screened as the opening film at the Beijing International Film Festival a while ago, the response was particularly good.

It was basically a chorus of praise.

This makes everyone very curious.

How was this movie made?
A few days later, Liu Yifei posted stills on Weibo and then released the trailer.

You know what, Sun Yi is really quite capable.

Judging from the stills and trailers, Liu Yifei's fashion sense is gone, and her national goddess style has also been covered up, leaving only comfort and sweetness.

This aroused everyone's curiosity.

What kind of story is this?

I heard it is also related to the trafficking of women.

Oh, why hasn’t it been released yet? I’m feeling a little itchy.

At the same time, a number of big names in the circle came out to support the movie and used their influence to promote it heavily.

At this point in the movie, its popularity has reached a new level.

Liu Xiaowei reported to Sun Yi with the latest movie pre-sale report.

"Brother Yi, according to the latest survey report from the market research team, in the past three days, the pre-sale box office of "The Shouting Mountain" has exceeded 100 million. For a pure drama movie like this, this is a rare breakthrough."

Now, as the person in charge of Star Sky’s publicity, Liu Xiaowei is very satisfied with the results.

Of course, he also knew who was the biggest contributor to this publicity.

"Thanks to my sister-in-law, her popularity is simply unrivaled. As soon as the stills and Weibo posts are released, the pre-sale box office goes up rapidly."

Sun Yi took the report and paid special attention to the rising curve of pre-sale box office.

It was indeed an explosive rise at the time when the girl posted on Weibo twice.

"Well, it's really good, but I'm a little lazy."

Liu Xiaowei: “.”

How should I respond to that? It's just your business between you two.

Besides, your sister-in-law is lazy because of you.

Sun Yi flipped through two more pages, frowned slightly, and began to think.

This publicity effect and pre-sale box office are definitely a good sign for other film and television companies, but for Star Sky or for his and Liu Yifei's past achievements, it is still a little lacking.

In particular, he is already preparing to create an international route for the girl.

Regardless of whether it succeeds or not, at least the basic domestic base cannot be lost.

In other words, Liu Yifei is no longer like other actors who simply pursue not having bad movies, but also have to make high-quality movies.

Let movie fans form a movie-watching habit, and they will subconsciously buy tickets to watch any movie starring Liu Yifei.

This is just like when a company builds its brand, word of mouth is the most important.

For the majority of casual movie fans, the way they choose movies, in addition to the high ratings and reputation, is the box office performance of a movie.

Just like buying a car, the higher the sales volume, the more people will choose it.

When you hear that a certain movie has grossed hundreds of millions of dollars as soon as it was released, you will subconsciously think that it is a good movie.

After all, so many people have watched it, it must be good, so I have to watch it too.

This is why a movie’s first-day box office and first-week box office attract so much attention.

This time, Sun Yi plans to add fuel to the promotion.

"Xiaowei, contact several major websites and do some offline promotional interviews."

"Oh, okay, it's for my sister-in-law. I'll contact her right away."

"No, I'll follow too."

"!!!"

On the morning of April 4, there were still two days before the official release of "The Shouting Mountain".

Starry Sky Huairou Film and Television Production Base.

It's quite lively today. Everyone in the base, whether they have a job or not, is trying to find ways to be lazy and run out, passing by the small garden in the viewing area one after another.

There were also countless figures by the windows of the office building facing the small garden, all looking at a group of people busy on the garden lawn.

The boss and his wife are going to be interviewed in the small garden.

I don't know where the news came from, but it spread throughout the base as soon as I got to work today.

I thought it was just a rumor, but after a while, my colleagues from the production and makeup teams started setting up the scene on the lawn.

Those who need to measure light should measure the light, and those who need to arrange the tables and chairs should arrange the tables and chairs.

Even the lawn was specially tidied up by the logistics team.

This is confirmed.

Originally, they were all internal employees of Starry Sky, and the boss and the boss's wife had basically met each other, but who could complain about this being too much?

Especially the boss lady, the national goddess.

Before 10 o'clock, a news reporting car with the Weibo logo drove into the base.

Sun Yi and Liu Yifei also walked out of the workshop.

The weather today is pretty good, the sun is shining, and it's quite suitable for outdoor shooting.

The interview team of Renren Weibo originally wanted to go to Sun Yi and Liu Yifei's home for the interview, after all, this would appear more heartwarming.

Especially the majority of netizens, they are very curious about the couple's love nest and private emotional life!
At first, Liu Yifei agreed foolishly and was even quite happy, thinking that it would be a very interesting thing to share her and Sun Yi's little home with her fans.

But later Sun Yi changed the interview location to the film and television base, which is where he works.

It’s not that he is afraid of exposing his privacy, nor is it that he doesn’t want to show off for money, but it will have a bad impact.

Although the two announced their relationship early on, they have been together for almost 4 years.

But after all, they haven't officially got married yet, and it's not a good thing to openly expose their cohabitation in an interview.

It’s not that Sun Yi is being feudal, but as a public figure, he has the obligation to guide social order and morality.

It's fine if you live together secretly. After all, it's the environment and it's a free love, so there's nothing wrong with it. But it's not right if you make it public.

After hearing Sun Yi's remarks, Liu Yifei also realized it. She stuck out her tongue in disappointment and praised her brother for being smart and thoughtful. She also said that all the housework would be left to Sun Yi in the future and she would only be responsible for eating, drinking and having fun, and at most adding a beautiful face.

I was so stupid, yet I was actually proud of myself!! Interview scene.

Today's interview comes from Renren Weibo. The host is a well-known beauty in her early thirties. Sun Yi looks somewhat familiar. It is said that she was specially poached by Renren Weibo from CCTV and immediately became the "number one host" of the column.

After the "No.1 Sister" finished communicating with Sun Yi and Liu Yifei, the staff left and the camera was turned on.

Right on the lawn of the small garden, with the office building of Starry Sky Film and Television Production Center as the background, there was a set of European palace-style outdoor tea tables, three cups of scented tea with bursts of refreshing fragrance, and three people sat in a V-shape, with Sun Yi and Liu Yifei sitting relatively close to each other, and the host was on the other side.

The camera first turned to the host.

"Welcome to this episode of Weibo Vision Interview. We have invited two heavyweight guests. She is an actress who is praised as a national goddess by many fans, and he is a talented director. They are the most dazzling trendsetters in the current film and television industry. I believe everyone must have been looking forward to it for a long time, so let them say hello to everyone."

"Hello everyone, I am the actress Liu Yifei and I am the director Sun Yi."

As the camera panned, Liu Yifei waved at the camera with a sweet smile on her face.

Sun Yi smiled and greeted everyone. Although he seldom accepts this kind of interview, it does not mean that he is not familiar with this kind of program. In front of the camera, he behaved very calmly.

"Yifei, before the formal interview, I have to say something complimenting you. Your outfit today is really unforgettable and very beautiful."

"Huh? Really?"

Hearing the host's praise, Liu Yifei smiled, and two shallow dimples on her face bloomed like peach blossoms in spring as she smiled.

“Yeah, it’s really great.”

"Hey, I built this myself."

Liu Yifei couldn't help but lift her feet slightly, then suddenly remembered that she was still in an interview, so she quickly resumed her ladylike sitting posture. However, in order to cover up the little movement just now, she tucked her feet behind her legs, and changed her sitting posture from side-to-side sitting to right-front cross sitting.

Wow, that's a pretty quick reaction.

When you hear people complimenting your outfit, your mind goes haywire.

Sun Yi saw Liu Yifei's little action.

But you have to say, the girl’s outfit today is really great.

She wore a suspender dress with small spotted patterns next to her body, which was gentle yet playful. She wore a wide Korean chiffon coat as an outer layer, which was elegant yet generous. Her two white calves were put together and matched with a pair of silver high heels. The overall score was above 90.

This dressing score is almost the ceiling for her.

Of course, the full score is 100.

The praise is both sincere and a means to adjust the atmosphere and bring people closer together.

Next, the formal interview will begin.

"Sun Yi, as we all know, you rarely participate in interview programs like this. I'm very curious, can I ask why?"

"Well, this is also related to my personal habits. As a director, I think I should focus more on the film and work behind the scenes instead of standing in front of the stage. After all, the director speaks through his works, and the glory in front of the stage should be left to the actors."

"Of course, I am really busy and don't have much time for interviews."

When Sun Yi answered, his eyes involuntarily looked at Liu Yifei beside him and received a sweet smile.

"Then why did you participate in the interview again this time?"

The host had a teasing look on his face, as if he didn't want to let Sun Yi go.

"This time, Xixi and I play the male and female lead respectively. I am not only a director, but also an actor, so of course I have this obligation."

"Oh, by the way, your movie is going to be released soon. Not only are you the director, you are also the leading actor."

The host nodded, as if he suddenly understood something.

In fact, this section was all scripted in advance, and its purpose was to introduce the movie.

"Yes, indeed."

"I heard that this movie is a story that takes place in the mountains in the 80s. Both the male and female protagonists are authentic mountain people. It's hard to imagine that Yifei would play such a role. Can you tell me why?"

The host asked Liu Yifei again.

"Well, maybe in many people's inherent impression, the mountains are just a symbol of rusticity and ignorance, but I think this is a bad impression left by previous movies. Just like when I went to shoot this time, we stayed in the homes of fellow villagers. Everyone was very nice and cared about me and was very tolerant of me. I think the simplicity of the people in the mountains is their real charm."

When talking about tolerance, Liu Yifei couldn't help blushing.

Sun Yi immediately recalled her "feat" on the crew at that time.

But when he first arrived in the village, Sun Yi wanted to tease her, so he asked her: Do you know which domestic animal is the most powerful in the countryside?
Liu Yifei obviously had no experience of rural life. After thinking for a long time, she came up with the answer of dog.

In her opinion, dogs in the countryside are not like pet dogs in the city, which are responsible for guarding the house. Moreover, when she first went there, every time she arrived at a fellow villager's house, the dog at the house would always bark at her and was not friendly at all. It was only after she got to know the dogs better that they became friends.

But Sun Yi told her that this was not true. The most powerful domestic animal was the goose.

Liu Yifei definitely doesn't believe it.

The goose is white and walks unsteadily. You can't tell it's fierce at all.

So she refused to accept it and challenged him secretly behind Sun Yi's back.

I went to my fellow villager's goose pen to hang out.

The end was very tragic.

She was chased by the big goose from her fellow villager's house and ran around the village, screaming in fear. She let all the geese in her fellow villager's house go, causing her fellow villager to catch geese for fun all over the village.

When Sun Yi thought of Liu Yifei screaming and being chased away, he wanted to laugh.

He was trying hard to hold back his laughter, and only after Liu Yifei reacted and glared at him did he stop laughing.

The host noticed the two's little tricks and of course refused to let it go. He asked directly: "Sun Yi, Yifei, is there any story behind this?"

"ah yes"

"no!"

Sun Yi nodded, but was interrupted by Liu Yifei just as he was about to speak, followed by a pair of threatening eyes.

If you dare to say that here, I will fight you!

Okay, okay, I won’t say anything.

This part is cut~
Liu Yifei paused for a moment, gathered her thoughts, and then continued with the previous question.

"The heroine in the movie "The Shouting Mountain" also has the shadow of a mountain person. For me, this is a role I have never played before, and I think it is a challenge for myself. And I like the script very much, so I played it. I would also like to ask everyone here, I hope everyone can support the movie after it is released~!"

"Well, support is certain. At least I will definitely go to see it."

"One more thing. I noticed that you posted a Weibo a few days ago, and many celebrities in the circle came out to cheer you on, such as Zhou Xun, Huang Xiaoming, Zhang Bozi, Shu Qi, Liu Tao, Shu Chang, Sun Honglei, Wang Fei, and many, many others."

"I'm a little embarrassed to say this, we're all friends, and I asked everyone to help promote this time."

"Wow, they are all friends. It seems that you are very popular."

"Ah~ This, I don't have it either~"

"Yifei, you are too modest."

"Hehe~"

Next, the host asked a few more movie-related questions, and the interview lasted more than an hour before it ended.

It will eventually be edited into a 30-minute interview program and posted on the website homepage later that day.

The two invited the interviewing staff to have lunch before leaving the film and television base.

By the way, their task today is not just to accept interviews.

In addition to work, there are some personal matters.

That means the newly bought villa has been renovated, and it’s a good opportunity to go over and take a look today.

This was the first time I added a picture, but for some reason the review didn’t go through and an error occurred.
