During my years at China Entertainment

Chapter 146 Facing Hollywood blockbusters

The time has come to the end of April, "The New World" is about to be released, and the promotion work is already in full swing. Boss Ying Huangyang is even more worried about the enemy. Without him, the head-on battle with "Spider-Man 3" is coming.

For this film, Wei Jin still dare not underestimate it. With a production cost of 2.5 million US dollars, it is a well-deserved Hollywood blockbuster. Such a giant crocodile in the deep sea would have to avoid the edge for a while. However, Wei Jin does not believe in evil, and no one has yet He could be allowed to escape without a fight, but he also knew that this would be a tough battle.

Fortunately, after adjusting the schedule, China Film Group finally gave "New World" a few days to develop its reputation and gain first-mover advantage. Otherwise, the two films would be released at the same time and they would be forced to schedule. I'm really afraid that domestic theater chains will fall behind.

However, Wei Jin's mind was not on this at this time. He had already rushed to the training base of the space center, and he wanted to test the training results of the actors.

For this training, Wei Jin reduced the amount of training to one-tenth according to the formal astronaut training manual given by the Aerospace Science and Engineering team. Even so, the actors still endured high-intensity training.

As soon as Wei Jin arrived at the place, Jing Tian, ​​who had learned the news in advance and had been waiting for a long time, saw him, and immediately flew into Wei Jin's arms like a swallow returning to its nest. She greedily breathed in the man's scent and refused to let go for a long time.

"Tiantian, are you still watching? If you don't come down, I'll make fun of you."

Looking down at the little girl hanging on his body like a koala, and smelling the girl's unique body fragrance, Wei Jin also missed her a little, but business was more important at the moment.

"Hug me again, I miss you so much."

Jing Tian started to act coquettishly when he heard this, his face was a little rosy, but he still understood the importance after all.

Several other main creators also began to gather around Wei Jin and looked at King Liu Tianwang up and down. Wei Jin nodded with satisfaction.

"That's right, Brother Hua. It seems that you haven't trained in vain during this period. This muscular look and these lines are simply perfect. I'm sure many female fans will be fascinated by it."

There are many scenes where Liu Tianwang is naked from the upper body in the play, and he must be very strong, so before coming to training, Wei Jin told him to strengthen physical training, and now it seems that the effect is good.

Everyone else also went through physical training during this period. The main reason is that the space suit is very heavy. Even though the props are used in the scene, it is one-third as heavy as the real thing, nearly 20 pounds. It is really difficult for them not to be physically fit enough.

"Then Director Wei will have to take two sets of half-fruit makeup photos for me, and I will send them to my fans as a bonus, haha."

King Liu Tian was very happy to see Wei Jin, which meant that he was about to turn on the phone, and he made a rare joke.

"Brother Hua, if you do this, you won't be afraid of being reported, haha"

After getting along with each other for this period of time, everyone has a very harmonious relationship. Zhang Ziyi and Liu Tianwang are old friends, and they directly teased each other, which caused a burst of laughter.

Seeing the creative team gradually forming a tacit understanding, Wei Jin couldn't help but nodded.
-
  "Brother Hua, after you participate in the movie promotion, just follow me to Hongya. The living cabin where you grow potatoes has been repaired. In order to appear real, you really have to do all kinds of things. When the time comes, we can shoot in advance and we can Saves a lot of time.”

For the promotion of "New World", Liu Tianwang, the leading actor, will naturally be present, but he only did a run-in a few days ago. It's really a holiday, so there is no need for a road show.

"No problem, everyone, just practice first, I'm going to Mars to plant crops, haha"

Liu Tianwang seemed very happy and showed off his hard-working Mandarin to everyone, not to mention that he sounded a bit like an old Beijing native.

During this period, he not only had to carry out various trainings, but also practice Mandarin. In addition, he also had to study some cultural classes, which was almost non-stop, but the results were very good.

Naturally, the Wei and Jin Dynasties also knew what King Liu Tian was happy about. It has to be said that King Liu Tian was still very happy in Japan and South Korea.

"Seeing the Dragon Removes Its Armor" is a joint investment between Hong Kong and Japanese and Korean capitals. Now, the filming plan of the project has been postponed to accommodate Liu Tianwang's schedule, and the follow-up filming will be done while waiting for him.

"Director Wei, how much longer do we have to practice? I've been vomiting after eating nutritious meals recently. I'm a girl and my arms are thick."

Zhang Ziyi also changed her makeup according to Wei Jin's request during this period. She looks about 30 years old. She plays the captain of the Mars team in the play. She needs to have the aura of a big sister. Naturally, Wei Jin cannot let Zhang Ziyi Not only can’t you act young, but you must try your best to be as mature as possible.

"It is estimated that it will be after the May Day holiday. Although the infrastructure construction there is faster than planned, it will still take about ten days."

When all the creators heard this, their momentum suddenly collapsed. It wasn't that they couldn't hold on, it was mainly because the nutritious meal was really too monotonous.

Wei Jin deeply agreed with this, but then told everyone a piece of good news.

"But on the day of the premiere, everyone can take a day off to support Brother Hua."

"Oh yeah!"
-
  On April 4, "New World" held a grand premiere in Beijing, which was strongly requested by Ying Huang. Wei Jin, as the screenwriter and the main creators, accepted interviews with reporters.

"I would like to ask Director Wei, "New World" and "Infernal Affairs" both tell stories about undercover agents. Is there any difference between the two? Do you think the former can reach the heights of the latter?"

This reporter has obviously done his homework and his questions are very tricky. “If Chen Yongren, who has a bright heart in "Infernal Affairs", is in an endless hell, and finally sacrifices his life for righteousness and is liberated, then in "New World", Li Zicheng is trapped in darkness and sinks for life. Isn't this another kind of endless hell?
  As for whether it can reach the heights of "Infernal Affairs", everyone will make their own evaluation after watching it. "

"Director Wei, "Spider-Man 3" will also be released during the May Day schedule. Aren't you worried?"

A reporter mentioned the issue of competitors.

"Hollywood blockbusters are running rampant, and many colleagues think it will be a winner-take-all, while domestic films have almost no fighting spirit."

Looking at the whispering audience in the audience, Wei Jin knew in his heart that he had to boost his morale:
  "But I don't believe it. Domestic films should not be defeated without a fight. No one dares to take part. Then I, "New World", am willing to be the vanguard!"

"Okay, Director Wei said it well, that is, to have this kind of momentum, "New World" will never give in, and Yinghuang will never admit defeat."

Boss Yang is a good person, so he naturally knows what to say on this occasion.

Sure enough, both the main creators on stage and the reporters off the stage have aroused a fighting spirit. I believe that tomorrow's entertainment headlines will attract a lot of viewers for the movie.

Subsequently, several main creators also answered some reporters' questions, among which Liu Tianwang received particular attention.

"Liu Tianwang, do you have confidence in the box office?"

This reporter is a real dog. It is said that hitting someone is not a slap in the face. This is a direct mockery in front of the public.

"It's true this time. Director Wei's script will definitely not disappoint everyone."

Liu Tianwang also held his breath and wanted to prove himself that he really thought the script of "New World" was good. After decades in the industry, how could he not see the quality of the script?
  It’s not that he didn’t know that the scripts were rubbish in many scenes, but he couldn’t refuse due to human favours. This is also a common problem faced by good people in the entertainment industry. Isn’t Huang Xiaoming’s later development the same as Liu Tianwang?

However, the final result of this is to damage its own reputation, and to the extreme, it will create a customer-driving effect.

Soon, along with the familiar music, the dragon logo flashed and the movie started to show.——
  As the plot unfolds, the big boss in the play dies and a funeral is held. The ceremony is huge and one of the few big-money scenes in the movie. There are even many real big bosses. Ordinary movie fans may not recognize them, but there are many people in the circle here. The concubines all exclaimed:

"Is that the grandson of the Huo family? Is there someone from the He family?"

"Boss Yang also made a guest appearance?"

"Good guy, Uncle Six is ​​here too? This is so impressive, I thought the real boss passed away."

Listening to the discussion in the back row, a smile appeared on Boss Yang's face. This time, he came out in person and invited many friends to have such a guest appearance.

You have to know that many people are curious about it. With so many big guys appearing in the movie, just to see this scene, many viewers will come into the theater.

As the plot continues to advance, Li Zicheng is forced to go dark, fight back, and secure his position as a gang leader. After 97 returns, Li Zicheng hides his merit and fame, leads the society to successfully transform, clears his name, and moves to a new world.

The audience enjoyed watching this plot. Chen Yongren's noble and conscientious behavior is certainly worthy of respect, but the audience just can't relate to it and always feels aggrieved. On the contrary, Li Zicheng's darkening is more in line with the audience's expectations and relieves the depression in their hearts. It’s better to be more straightforward!
  Everyone finally understood what was said before the Wei and Jin Dynasties: Chen Yongren was an eternal hell, and so was Li Zicheng.——
  This time "New World" was released through simultaneous distribution in Asia. Southeast Asia, Hong Kong and RB were all handled by Ying Huang.

On the Wanwan side, this time Wu Dun also opened up the joints, secured a screening quota, and released it simultaneously as a sincerity for the next step of cooperation with Wei and Jin.

On the Korean side, it was CJ Company who came to the door. They were very optimistic about the script and were willing to release it at a low price as a sign of sincerity in exchange for the rights to follow-up remakes and adaptations.

Of course Wei Jin agreed wholeheartedly. In professional terms, this operation was called NTR. He felt that he had won.

What Wei Jin said at the premiere was indeed quoted by the media.

"A shocking battle, the Oscar-winning director faces the Hollywood Spider-Man."

“Spider-Man is coming, and ‘The New World’ rises to the occasion.”

"Wei and Jin, the last hope of Chinese filmmakers."

It caused an uproar on the Internet. It takes a lot of courage and courage to carry out a Hollywood blockbuster alone. For this reason, many netizens said they would definitely support it, not to mention Wei Jin's own appeal is extremely powerful.

In terms of movie arranging in theaters, all theaters are very good this time. At least before the release of "Spider-Man 3", all of them have a arranging rate of about 70%.

For a time, Wei and Jin were somewhat looking forward to this battle.
