Who are you calling "little fresh meat"? I'm the king.

Chapter 106 Li Bingbing (44)

"Sister Li, Shen Yan fell asleep..."

"Well, he's too tired. He just drank a lot of wine."

"Okay, I'll tell him when we get to the hotel!"

Shi Shi hung up the phone and pushed Shen Yan's evil hand away: "Next time, you answer the phone yourself."

“…These are all trivial matters.”

"So you expected today's box office to set a new record?"

"... Today is Chinese Valentine's Day, and our screening schedule has increased by 35%... I was thinking we could get 3000 million today..." At this point, Shen Yan looked annoyed: "Unfortunately, Sister Bingbing is not doing a good job~"

Shi Shi was puzzled: "What?"

"Look, isn't the biggest star in our show Li Bingbing?"

“…Then you can’t say that Sister Bingbing isn’t capable…”

"I'm just saying this..." Shen Yan changed the subject: "I have a commercial to shoot tomorrow, what about you?"

“I’m going back to Shanghai…”

"Aren't you going to stop acting in 'Scarlet Heart'?"

“…I also have an endorsement to support!”

“…Oh, alright then…”

Shen Yan looked at the night view outside the car window, thought of something, and asked the driver: "Master, where can we set off fireworks here?"

“There’s a fireworks show at Jingshan Amusement Park…”

"Can I watch it now?"

"There should be more... I heard there's another one at 12 o'clock!"

"Then let's go now!"

Shi Shi was a little excited: "Are we going to watch the fireworks?"

Shen Yan said as a matter of course: "Yes, the Qixi Festival is incomplete without fireworks!"

"Okay!"

……

Li Bingbing was very proud!
In 06, after Zhou Xun joined Huayi, her position was greatly threatened!

In 06, Zhou Xun won the Best Actress awards at both the Golden Horse Awards and the Hong Kong Film Awards for her role in "If Love", and her momentum is strong.

Back then, when the two top actresses were competing with each other, Li Bingbing was at a disadvantage because she had two fatal flaws: she couldn't handle box office sales and big dramas.

Or rather, she has never played the leading female role!

Zhou Xun is different. In addition to many famous film and television dramas, she has also released two albums and even co-starred with Zhou Jielun in the MV of "Besieged on All Sides". She is an all-round artist with both recognition and popularity.

She has worked with a lot of great directors!

Chen Kexin of "If Love", Chen Jiashang of "Painted Skin", and Xu Ke of "Women Are Not Bad"...

"Confucius" and "Once Upon a Time in China" were directed by Hu Mei and Yuan Heping respectively.

Li Bingbing is far behind...

Last year's "The Whistleblower" allowed her to beat Zhou Xun to win the Golden Horse Award...

It is said that the agents of both parties had an unpleasant argument at the celebration banquet!

Yes, the box office of "Triple Tap" released last month exceeded 100 million yuan, surpassing Zhou Xun...

But "The King of Guns" is a pure man's play, Li Bingbing didn't show his talent at all...

This "Introduction to Architecture" is different. She is the only star in this drama, and she is also the investor and producer...

After the release of "Introduction to Architecture", it received good reviews and the box office continued to rise...

On August 8th, the film closed at 16 million on Chinese Valentine’s Day, bringing the cumulative box office to 2300 million...

On August 8th, it collected another 17 million, bringing the cumulative box office to 900 million...

Breaking 100 million is just around the corner!

So, after "The Whistleblower", she starred in two movies, both of which grossed over 100 million yuan, plus "The Imperial Palace" in this year's National Day...

Zhang Ziyi is no more than this!
Well, at least this year, Zhang Ziyi's box office appeal cannot compare to hers.

However, when she was interviewed, she was very low-key and attributed everything to luck: "Shen Yan wrote the script and gave it to Ji Xiang, who first contacted my agent... To be honest, I didn't even want to read the script at first..."

"It was too tiring. I had just finished filming Triple Tap and The Imperial Majesty, and I wanted to take a break... but my agent forced me to watch it again... Then Ji Xiang told me that we were filming in Xiamen, so we had plenty of time, so I could just treat it as a vacation..." "Then why did you join for free?"

"...The production budget was low, so Ren Quan first said he didn't want any salary, but he still invested 100 million yuan. He also suggested that I do the same... Then we both became investors!"

“So, is this play profitable?”

"It's definitely higher than the initial salary..."

"They said there were over five million. Is that true?"

Li Bingbing laughed: "I haven't calculated it, but it should be a little more than five million!"

"So who do you think should be credited for the success of this play?"

"It must be Shen Yan..."

"Shen Yan?"

Li Bingbing explained: "He wrote the script, he picked the director, he wrote the songs... he even suggested the actors!"

“…He did all this?”

"Well, so I'm lucky..."

In addition to Li Bingbing, Li Xiaoping of Guangguang Media also praised Shen Yan in an interview... However, she also said: "Bingbing said there is a good script. After reading it, we decided to invest!"

Uh, it affirms Li Bingbing’s role!
By the way, some media asked Li Bingbing why he didn’t ask Huayi Brothers to make this movie.

Li Bingbing laughed: "The investment is too small, I'm worried they won't be interested!"

……

'Architecture 101' is a huge hit at the box office...

Huayi Brothers...no reaction.

Although "Architecture 101" has been dominating the single-day box office charts for several consecutive days, "Aftershock" has also performed well...

It will definitely exceed 600 million!

Huayi only makes big productions now and doesn’t care about these small, low-cost movies at all!

Otherwise, "Love Is Not Blind" wouldn't be the turn of Perfect World...

According to Yu Dong, "Teng Huatao played basketball with Huang Zhonglei every weekend, and Huayi didn't shoot either."

However, Huang Zhonglei got Shen Yan's contact information through Li Bingbing and specially arranged a dinner...

Shen Yan declined the dinner invitation and said that he was in Hengdian and had joined the crew...

Uh…

Decisively refuse to meet!

I'm so handsome, if you make a move on me, I'll probably have to jump out of the car...

As for what Huang Zhonglei said about having a good movie script and Huayi being willing to cooperate, he... didn't take it seriously.

There are so many production companies to work with, why did they choose you?

Moreover, movies are a content industry, and the most important thing in a content industry is people!
In other words, in the film and television industry, the most core resource is still an excellent creative team.

The role of a film company is to pay...

Oh, Shen Yan has joined the crew of "Lotus Tower" and is currently undergoing martial arts training...

It's more like physical training than martial arts training. According to the requirements, Shen Yan has to run 10 kilometers every day, and then do 200 push-ups, squats, and pull-ups. These exercises help to strengthen the upper limbs, legs, and back...

In addition, every day you have to kick 2,000 times and punch 3,000 times...

It’s really hard work!

In addition, he has to perform three sets of sword techniques every day - Li Lianhua dances with the sword three times, using different sword techniques!

The martial arts director is Liu Zhihao...

Recommended by Li Huimin - the action director of "Meteor Butterfly Sword"...

Chen Weitao is too busy - he has taken on four dramas this year and has little time to stay in a crew.

Action direction takes time, and good action scenes take time to polish.

In comparison, Liu Zhihao is indeed more suitable...

Although Liu Zhihao is not well-known, he is also an experienced master - the action director of "Lotus Battle".
