Master of the Flower City

Chapter 381: Unfamiliar old friend

Views:

This seems to be a topic of controversy, but in fact it is to build momentum for my own movie. With "Kung Fu daughter-in-law fù" as a breakthrough, the top media has officially become an indestructible force of public opinion on the world stage, and it has done its work. Starting

As long as you observe carefully, you can find that although the entertainment media all over the world are arguing about aesthetics, it is always involved in the new film "Kung Fu daughter-in-law fù", whether it is the questioning of acting skills, or anything else, all the quarrels. Everyone can find the answer in the future "Kung Fu daughter-in-law fù".

Creating a suspense and then arousing everyone's curiosity is undoubtedly a very clever and ancient technique, but it has always been very effective.

It seems that without knowing it, he has become a flag for Wu Bin and Fu Lao to throw stones at him. I want to try global public opinion whether it shouldn't be long before someone will contact him.

"What are you laughing at?" Yiyi walked over and looked at Yang Can curiously, feeling that he had something to hide from himself.

"What's wrong, you don't seem to have any confidence recently?" Yang Can answered without asking, Yiyi seemed to be a little restless recently.

Yiyi was taken aback, her tired face barely smiled: "I can't hide anything from you. Actually, I have something to discuss with you."

"Let's talk." Yang Can smiled and lit a cigarette.

Yiyi came over, walked to the opposite of Yang Can, and sighed: "Recently, there are too many things in the company, and I am a little tired. Can you let Tariq from the General Affairs Office be in charge of this movie? After all, he was the former Disney company. Too many movies produced."

When Yiyi is not afraid of a girl who is not afraid of it this day? Yang Can shook his head directly: "I don't think it is necessary. The executor must be you. You can't give Tariq too many important things."

"Do you trust me like that?" Yiyi was initially a little worried, and when she heard Yang Can's calm tone, her eyes were full of smiles: "I am an unmarried young girl. I belong to the most emotionally unstable workplace. Whenever you feel uncomfortable, just luàn will make a big bad film, you will not be finished."

Yiyi’s joking expression had a rare lack of self-confidence, but Yang Can smiled disapprovingly: "What is there to worry about? I remember when I was at the last press conference, then I would be very soft. Character, your majestic appearance at that time was unambiguous, our President Ma, how come this kind of small scene is so rare for you~?"

Yiyi laughed when he heard a puff, and returned to the playful look of the past, and patted Yang Can on the shoulder:

"You can’t say that, of course, but this young lady’s home stadium feels like standing on the podium in a speech contest at university. I am the school of Nantah University. The people sitting under them are even the president of the United States. It’s because of my demeanor. It’s good enough not to accept your mén votes. Who will lose to my school’s huā and eagerness?"

"I'm just worried that there will be no elders like Uncle Zheng to preside over the overall situation this time, I'm afraid I will not have a lot of details to worry about."

Yiyi was still worried that his lack of experience would affect my layout. Yang Can warmed his heart and looked at her with encouraging eyes and said, "Is there? I think our horse is always pretty reliable? It can be called a new generation of nv strongmen. model."

Yiyi was delighted by Yang Can’s praise, squinted his eyes and hooked his shoulders and said: "My mouth looks like honey, how do I remember the last time I was filming the cover of the most cháonv president of the South Weekly special issue? , Don’t you comment like that?"

Thinking of that experience, Yang Can finally couldn’t help but laugh. That time was a special interview set by Xu Yang himself. He asked Yiyi what she wanted to look like. But after thinking about it for a long time, Yiyi finally said to be like "Faye Wong." Combining the style with Karen Mok, the stylist of the magazine at that time thought hard and finally designed Faye Wong's high braided head and Karen Mok's hún suit as the final look. ==. First. Issue ==

At the time of the magazine model, Zhu Huaicheng and Yang Can stared at Yiyi with a "cynic" expression on the cover and laughed for half an hour. This look, which is "Faye Wong and Karen Mok" ~ completely ak48 pretending to be the product of the failure of Mrs. Thatcher.

Looking at Yang Can's smile, Yiyi suddenly became a little unhappy. He went up and used Yang Can's little tui: "Laugh~Laugh, I'm not afraid to laugh off your ugly chin~" After that, she turned and walked out. Before closing mén, he did not forget to look back and glared:

"Sister Ya is right. You are more and more like a capitalist with no blood and tears. Forget it, anyway, you take the majority of the company. Don't blame me when things are not done well~"

Watching Yiyiguan on mén, Yang Cancai, who was holding her own little tui, barely held back a smile, thinking that this little girl was really worried. With her usual ability and charm, no one else in the top company can compare to it, unless it is. Invite the ceo of the three major wireless TVs in the United States, otherwise there is really no more suitable candidate than her.

During this period of time, the crew with Mai Weijian and Yang Can as the core began to nervously choose the roles. This time, since most of the scenes are on campus, the most important roles are young people, except for the male protagonist. Rose's parents invited the famous movie star Tim Allen under the agency of the American Actors Guild. Almost all of the other roles were selected internally by Irving College and top brokerage companies.

The dumb actor Rose is indeed the biggest supporting role. Of course, he can't make him too strong. In the end, he chose the Conscious Energy 363 of Irvine College, Michael Mays, the brown-haired young man, Mai Weijian and Yang Can. The reason for the typography is simple, "I just like his wretched look."

This Michael Mays is usually an introvert, and he spends more time playing online games at home than at his school. Of course, he is an honest man, not tall, and once auditioned at Irvine School with a broken backpack, Yang Can The principal and Mai Weijian felt that he was Rose himself at first glance.

At the beginning, everyone praised the script for a large part because it was in harmony with the company's resources. Of course, some of them only had a few shots of lù. Yang Can mobilized his reputation in the circle and invited many Americans. Come guest appearances with well-known movie stars in the Chinese area. For example, the father of nv protagonist Irene let Hong Kong superstar Andy Lau come to guest appearances, and the football captain invited the "Thank Ear" Jim Parsons of the Big Bang Theory.

There are also Brad Pitt’s cameo actor Ross’s divorced brother, and "The Vampire Diaries" nv protagonist Nina Dubove came to jealous of Irene’s student council vice-chairman, and so on. The catch is that George Clooney can’t come over when shooting a new film in Italy Help, otherwise this guest lineup will be even stronger.

According to Mai Weijian, after the tempering of the last "Feng Shen Bang", the original academics of Irvine College have become professional film practitioners, and the top ones have already invested in independent productions of over 50 million* The ability of class movies.

Commercial films must be handled calmly in all aspects, strictly in accordance with the market’s shooting and publicity. Yang Can is well aware of the market’s needs and the secrets of success. The early stage building and controversy have already made "Kung Fu Daughter-in-law fù" hot before being filmed. Attention has been paid to many aspects.

Amazon’s Internet Movie Database (imdb) predicts the rating. Over one million people have voted to predict the rating of this almost one-sided movie. Just like half of everyone’s previous predictions, the rating is very two-tiered. 31.5 percent thought this film "will be a new classic of the same type", and 45.6 percent voted for "a mediocre work, imitating Hollywood's foreign productions. No connotation." This option.

And the middle "normal level, with Yang Xiuya's charisma, will get a box office of about 100 million, but no awards" and "Qualified works that show actors' acting skills are difficult to guarantee at the box office, but they can be nominated for Oscars." There are few people.

Before the movie was released, the script was naturally the most core business secret, so the top group participating in the filming signed a confidentiality agreement, absolutely not revealing any details about the film related to the film, of course, including the Chinese American. Screenwriter Xu Chang, no matter how you guess, you can only imagine it out of thin air.

What made Yang Can feel a little surprised was that in the home of screenwriters (.splayer.) considered the best by screenwriters in the United States, there was a guy named Smith who claimed to be a friend of screenwriter Xu Chang and published an article. The article, praised the script, and director Spielberg once read it. He wanted to buy it for US$800,000, but he couldn't find a suitable investor.

And this report was reprinted, and it was admitted by Spielberg himself. In the next few days, several celebrities in the film industry have said that they have read this script. It is definitely a five-star screenplay by the Screenwriters Association. level.

There were so many positive comments, which made Yang Can feel excited and strange. He was cautious. He called the screenwriter named Xu Chang over and used his conscious energy to ask a lot about whether the script had been seen by many people. This incident caused Yang Can to breathe a sigh of relief. Xu Chang, an obscure magazine editor, did not submit articles everywhere. This story is his original and only discussed with a small group of people, and these people are professionals in the industry. There is no risk of being penetrated in advance.

So in other words, are the actions of Fu Lao and Wu Bin acting in support of these public opinions? Yang Can was faintly surprised, but he didn't expect Fu Lao and their influence to have reached this point. It seemed that his luck was really good.

Everything is ready. On the 5th, at around 9 o'clock in the morning, all the crew including Yang Xiuya, Yan Shangxi, and Mai Weijian gathered in the Plaza of the University of California, Los Angeles. Under the watchful eyes of dozens of reporters and ucla related people, the grand ceremony was held. After the start-up ceremony, the shooting of "Kung Fu Daughter-in-law fù" officially began.

This time, due to the shooting in the ucla campus, the school specially arranged a few consultants as some of the publicity supervisors in the film. Since ucla is the alma mater of director Mai Weijian, Mai Weijian personally contacted the school’s relevant personnel, which is a rare experience. A handful of Jingshen, with a dead skinny face, sent an email with his graduation photo to the principal:

"Dear Principal Doug, I am your student Mike Days, a graduate of ucla1992's director department. I hope I can still remember when you gave me your graduation certificate 20 years ago, my trembling hands are just like today. .. From the day I stepped into ucla, I had a dream to use the most thought-provoking artistic techniques and the most noble humanistic ideas I learned from top masters here, including Downing Dale and Professor Peter Tottenton, in ucla To shoot my own movie..."

In this way, the crew rarely won the right to shoot in ucla school this time. Of course, the school's incidental requirement is to promote ucla itself in the film, and it must be a close-up of the xìng building and location.

The consultant happens to be Mai Weijian’s mentor in ucla, and Tangning Dell, an old professor of the director department, has white hair and a huā plaid shirt from the 1960s, wearing an old huā mirror, and walking trembling, like He was an ordinary old man, but Yang Can was really shocked when he saw his 769 energy level. As expected, he was Mai Weijian's mentor, and he was definitely a top film artist.

In the slightly hot sun, Mai Weijian cheered up and coughed twice, appearing extremely nervous, and shouting to the entire crew in a sharp voice:

"Today, there are three scenes. We must finish the filming before dark. We will finish all the scenes here after graduation within a week. Every actor must memorize his own lines. Whoever asks for tui, I will edit his scenes. ~~"

The actors listened to the director's harsh words on the first day, threatening everyone to make progress, or in front of so many people, this is really too "devil", it's the first time. The actors who participated in the filming of Mai Weijian were so scared that their faces turned pale, and they whispered something.

Mai Weijian was quite dissatisfied with the reactions of these people, and appeared very calm. He smiled coldly and said: "If any of you is unsatisfied, you can say it now and choose to leave. Of course, I want to Remind you, this is for you to give up an opportunity to stand on the Oscar podium..."

Yang Xiuya trembled while listening to her delicate body, and couldn't help but ask Yang Can next to her: "Mr. Yang, let me ask for your instructions. Can I beat the director after get off work?" In public, Yang Xiuya still looks extremely respectful to Yang Can. He has always been called "Mr. Yang".

Yang Can also felt that the old comrade Mai returned to his alma mater today a bit too much, and definitely nodded: "Yes, just remember not to slap your face."

Although he was joking, he felt the surging consciousness energy làngcháo at the scene, and Yang Can was also a little excited. Such a movie gathered almost all the resources he could use, and Mai Weijian and Yang Xiuya were more mature.

Just as Mai Weijian was talking about it, the secretary Shirley walked over from the crowd and whispered in Yang Can's ear: "Mr. Yang, someone is looking for you." He handed the phone over.

Yang Can saw that the caller ID was an unfamiliar number. Wei Wei was a little surprised. She probably didn't tell her her mobile phone number. He cautiously "heed", but the voice inside was very sweet with a Cantonese accent. With the sound of nv, Yang Can immediately showed up in his mind a tall, wheat sè skin, and a Korean agent Han Cailing with a proud and pretty tún.

At eight o'clock in the evening, Yang Can took Chen Wutui mén into an old-fashioned steak fast food restaurant called "Cute Wrestler". Just as the blonde nv waiter greeted him, he heard a Han Cailing shout in Chinese: " Yang Can~here~"

Yang Can searched for the voice and walked to the corner, as if xìng's healthy Han Cailing got up and pulled Yang Can to sit down affectionately, she patted Yang Can's xiong chest as if with her hand:

"I thought you, Mr. Yang, a big man, would not pay attention to my old friend~" Han Cailing smiled politely, but Yang Can obviously felt a sense of distance. Since the last movie, he went to Taiwan on his own. It's good to have a jiāo meeting with her, what kind of wind is blowing today

"How are you doing? I heard that your artist Rain has terminated the contract with you, but life is fine."

Han Cailing smiled bitterly and shook her head: "In fact, it's nothing. You know that this circle is like this. Independent brokers like us are just a springboard. Whoever can sign a contract with a US company will stay with me." He sighed:

"You also know that it's not easy to get ahead in this circle. He has suffered a lot from his position now, and Pan Gaozhi is also normal."

Yang Can listened and nodded slightly, and his feelings for this Korean beauty nv immediately increased. After all, after so many years of dàng outside, the artists under the banner betrayed, she can be so calm and still speak for him. This is a success. The attitude of shunv talents.

Yang Can didn’t want to talk about her sadness any more, but just smiled and turned off the topic and asked: “Why, Bro. Han, shouldn’t you be here today to arrange the actors with you on the crew? Sorry for your late arrival, our cast It's already set.."

Han Cailing, who had always only talked about official affairs, suddenly became silent, as if he was hesitating. Yang Can immediately became alert. Upon careful observation, she found that Han Cailing's consciousness jumped very fast, and the gaseous consciousness text contained at most a few words beating back and forth. : "Should I tell him?" "Is there too much to tell him is useless, why bother."

Yang Can thought for a while, smiled and said to Chen Wu: "I'm sorry, Xiao Wu, you go outside and wait for me, buy something for yourself and eat first."

Chen Wu knew that the boss had something to talk about. He was inconvenience, so he got up and left, leaving Yang Can and Han Cailing face to face, but he was silent for a while without speaking.

"If you find it inconvenient, you can leave it alone. It's okay. I only eat and don't talk about official business." Yang Can smiled and ordered the food.

Han Cailing was taken aback for a moment. Did Yang Can guess something from her expression, or did he know it at all? After a while, he asked slowly:

"Mr. Yang, take the liberty to ask, have you ever heard of Freemasonry?"
