Huayu: Starting from "The Heavenly Bodyguard"

After watching the sample footage, Han Sanping overruled objections and scheduled the release of "John Wick" for May Day.

Seeing the old man's shrewdness, the abacus beads almost hit Shen Mo's face.

May Day is indeed a good time to release movies, but it may not be a good thing for Shen Mo's "John Wick", because there is also "Spider-Man 3" in the same period.

According to Han Sanping, the movie is really good, but it has no stars and no story. It's just a good movie to be released during the May Day holiday.

This isn't pioneering; it's that nobody wants to compete with Spider-Man 3. Seeing that John Wick is still making a splash online, they're pushing themselves out as cannon fodder.

If it were Spider-Man 1, given the quality of John Wick, Shen Mo would certainly be worthy of the title.

But even if a movie is a complete mess by the third installment, people will still be there to taste its spiciness.

It's not that Shen Daniu didn't want to try, but he just wasn't good enough.

Her fame comes entirely from scandals.

Looking back at his filmography, he only has one role: the villain Tony in "Flash Point".

The fact that I'm playing the Joker cannot be announced at this time due to a confidentiality agreement.

For Han Sanping to be able to schedule himself for the May Day holiday, that really shows how generous he is.

Taking the tea Shen Mo offered, Han Sanping thought for a moment and asked, "What's going on between you and those two brothers from the Wang family?"

What happened was that these two people took a liking to my fame in the U.S. and wanted me to play the villain in "The Forbidden Kingdom".

They're fucking obsessed with going international.

"I have other commitments later, and my schedule doesn't allow for this."

"Does that girl have anything to do with you?"

Han Sanping was referring to his mount, of course. It was unclear whether these two brothers genuinely believed Liu Yifei was their weakness, or if they simply wanted to control her.

They actually sent someone to say that either Liu Yifei had to sign with Huayi Brothers, or Shen Mo had to star in "The Forbidden Kingdom," otherwise the role of Golden Swallow would be replaced.

Chen Jinfei of Hongxing House seems to be dead; he hasn't uttered a single word.

Shen Mo had no idea what Red Star House was up to. One minute they were announcing a collaboration with Huayi, the next they were saying Liu Yifei himself didn't intend to sign with Huayi.

The back and forth went on and on, without end.

Now that they've enclosed themselves as a raft, the Red Star House is unusually quiet.

As for Huayi, Huang Xiaoming knew that he had taken on outside roles, and Shen Mo didn't believe that the two brothers didn't know.

They're pulling this stunt now purely to force Tianxian Baobao to sign a contract, and to disgust themselves.

"We're friends."

Pointing at Shen Mo, Han Sanping gave him a look that said, "Do you think we don't read entertainment news?"

"Let me say hello to them."

"Third Master, this is blatant bullying. You don't need to give any instructions."

Han Sanping sighed inwardly.

Not deaf or blind, not worthy of being in charge.

The bandits stood menacingly outside the courtyard, while several of their men were fighting inside.

As parents, we definitely have to help the strongest eldest child take care of the others.

When there are too many people who take sides, those who happen to be there are seen as acting arrogantly and domineeringly.

Han Sanping pondered for a long time, but in the end, he didn't say anything.

After leaving the China Film Studio, Shen Mo called Liu Xiaoli.

Aunt Liu stated frankly that this matter had nothing to do with Shen Mo, and told him not to feel burdened, as she was still trying to mediate.

Mediation, to put it bluntly, is making some ambiguous promises.

The seeds of Liu Yifei's later ban on mainland films were sown here.

Seeing that the other party was determined to get the role of Golden Swallow, Liu Xiaoli didn't say anything to persuade her to give up on the terrible movie "The Forbidden Kingdom".

Jackie Chan and Jet Li, a Hollywood team, are indeed something to be envious of and easily dazzled by.

Given my current status, I really don't have the right to interfere too much. Even if Liu Yifei listens to me, Liu Xiaoli definitely won't.

......

The air pressure was a bit low inside Wulacao's office.

Shen Mo has posted a lot of behind-the-scenes footage of "John Wick" online, which has made some noise, but relying on that still feels a bit risky.

It's not that Shen Mo doesn't want to take the traditional publicity route; the key issue is that he doesn't have the money.

With China Film Group's meager investment budget, it's barely enough to cover the materials needed for offline cinemas; forget about anything else.

Shen Mo also wants to leverage his current popularity to participate in some celebrity interviews.

These programs are welcome, but they have to be scheduled normally, and by the time the programs air, the movies have already been taken off the screens.

Cutting in line isn't impossible, but you'll have to pay extra.

Current variety shows are too comfortable; Shen Mo is preparing to give them a more intense experience.

Time waits for no one, so let's get started.

Shen Mo used the excuse of playing games to find a group of people.

Finally, Liu Yifei, Zhang Tianai, Jin Suo, Jing Tian, ​​Huang Xiaoming, Zhou Jielun, Zhu Yawen, and Yang Mi all happened to be in Beijing.

Once the people were confirmed, Shen Mo started looking for a venue, eventually booking a resort hotel in the suburbs that hadn't opened yet.

The variety show that Shen Mo planned to film was, of course, the later famous "Running Man".

The background is directly based on the world view of "John Wick".

In this power struggle, the mainland hotel cannot resort to force.

Unexpectedly, just before filming was about to begin, Liu Yifei gave Shen Mo a surprise: she actually managed to bring Cheng Long from the film crew as well.

The little girl was well-behaved on set, and everyone liked her. She made a request to her older brother, Cheng, who readily agreed.

I heard it was for a variety show shoot, and Jackie Chan's only requirement was that the contestants had to sing.

I had heard that my older brother Cheng was a huge singing enthusiast, but now I've witnessed it firsthand.

Shen Mo doesn't plan to completely replicate "Running Man," since he only intends to promote the movie and doesn't plan to film it for a long time.

The game segments are straightforward and simple, so that the audience won't be confused.

Since Brother Cheng is going to sing, let's start by having them sing when we form groups.

Shen Mo planned to make Huang Xiaoming one of the team leaders, and his older brother Cheng Lai the other.

Everyone sings one song, and the scores from the rating system are placed in an envelope.

Shen Mo and Cheng Long will compete first; whoever scores higher will choose their opponent.

The selection process will then be based on the scores of the selected individuals, determining the order in which they will be chosen.

After dividing into teams, they immediately airdropped name tags to tear off.

To determine the winner, jump rope directly on the pressure plate.

Since it was for movie promotion, Shen Mo set simple rules and a tight schedule.

The filming was handled by Lu Yang's photography team, while Yang Tianzhen was responsible for all on-site organization and coordination.

With everything prepared beforehand, we chose a sunny afternoon to start filming.

Everyone's here, let's sit down and go over the rules.

Everyone found the novel rules quite interesting.

After the rules were explained, Jay Chou kept asking Shen Mo what the Hollywood movie they were going to film was.

Seeing that this grandson was never going to stop, Shen Mo had no choice but to whisper in his ear, "Joker."

At first, Jay Chou didn't react, but when he did, he was completely taken aback.

"Will it work?"

"I've already signed the contract, so what do you say, is it okay or not?"

"You'll be torn to shreds by fans, won't you?"

Rolling his eyes, Shen Mo said nonchalantly, "When don't I get scolded?"

Even without listening to Shen Mo, Jackie Chan knew he was going to play the Joker next; after all, Jackie Chan hadn't been in Hollywood for nothing.

One of them came at Liu Yifei's invitation, and the other wanted to see this young man, Shen Mo.

He genuinely hoped that Shen Mo could step forward.

From Bruce Lee onwards, to him and Jet Li, both of them were almost too old to fight anymore. After that, only Donnie Yen was still doing well, and then there was no one else.

Special effects blockbusters can't compete with Hollywood, and now kung fu movies are also starting to decline.

"Shen Mo, if there are any problems while filming over there, you can call me."

Shen Mo greatly admires Cheng Long.

"Thank you, brother."

With a smug snort, Liu Yifei said, "And what about me?"

Shen Mo yelled at the stagehands carrying props, "Be quiet!"

After shouting, he ran away.
