Chapter 968: A Trailer

With a bang, the door was kicked open!

"Police! Don't move!"

Several pistols were aimed at a woman in black leather with her back to the door.

She raised her hands and stood up slowly.

The curves of the back are graceful and very attractive.

The camera cuts, in the middle of a lot of police cars, a chubby middle-aged policeman said with some disdain, "This is our business, no one else needs to intervene!"

A man wearing sunglasses said indifferently: "I'm afraid your people are finished!"

The camera suddenly cut back, the woman in black leather turned around and grabbed the gun in less than a second, and then, facing the other two policemen behind her, she suddenly jumped up, and the phone screen changed very quickly and instantly. Because it is extremely slow, it looks like a slow motion, but the strange thing is that this is not actually a slow motion—the camera actually made a horizontal angle of about 180 degrees around her leaping amazing figure move!

It's almost impossible to do!

This is something that no one has ever done in cinematic footage of the past!

In such a shot, her figure is extremely beautiful!

The kick she kicked in the air was so fierce and amazing, full of the beauty of power!

The next second, the camera suddenly sped up again.

Two policemen were kicked away by her.

bang bang bang!

Gunshots rang out.

The glamorous woman made an astonishing move again. She actually walked along the wall of the room at an angle parallel to the ground, and walked a few steps quickly on the wall of the room without waiting for the shot. The policemen reacted and kicked them.

In the next second, the scream was about to sound, and her long legs had already approached the camera infinitely. Suddenly, the camera cut everything, and a deep voice said: "Are you sure that the world you live in is real?"

A man suddenly woke up with a look of panic.

Like the woman just now, he has a typical oriental appearance.

The camera cuts, and the voice-over sounds again, "Make your choice, hang around here, or get out and see a real world."

The camera turned again, and in a restaurant, a middle-aged sloppy man with a beard was chewing in his mouth. The knife and fork had continued to fork a piece of cut beef, and he was chewing with happiness, "Although I know it's all fake. , it’s just a string of number symbols, but it’s really that fat and juicy.”

The man in black with sunglasses on the opposite side was expressionless and leaned forward, "Help me, I will give you everything you want."

"Neo!"

The oriental woman who appeared at the beginning of the film was terrified and shouted loudly.

But the camera suddenly cut away, and a few lines of English appeared on the screen, and then, the title of the film occupying the center of the screen finally appeared, looking extremely huge.

On July 21st, gain insight into the truth of the world!

"The Matrix"!

…………

The screen flickered, then went black.

Producer Iger put down the remote control in his hand, faced everyone in the conference room, and said, "SO, the trailer is very exciting, isn't it?"

Everyone was noncommittal, although one or two of them nodded, but judging from their expressions, they didn't seem to care.

Suddenly someone asked: "Is there any trailer in this world that isn't exciting?"

Many people laughed at the same time.

Iger laughed too.

Yes, no matter how bad a movie is, before it is released, it will often cut a very exciting trailer - many film critics in North America have said this, if those directors can use the skill of creating trailers To create movies, then the audience will be blessed.

At this time, another human said: "The male and female protagonists are both Chinese, and Zhong Guoqian only appeared as a director. I think he is too arrogant. If he plays the male protagonist, maybe we should pay more attention to it."

In the meeting room, many people nodded their heads upon hearing this.

Yes, the hero and heroine are both Chinese and oriental.

For audiences in North America, they are basically oriental people who can't tell their faces.

In Hollywood movies, the United States is undoubtedly the most democratic country in the world. Even in recent years, black actors have become more and more important in Hollywood movies. Every movie must have black actors, and important black actors The character must not be a bad person. This configuration has become a standard "political correctness". It seems that the multi-ethnic settlement in the United States is perfect.

The United States has always claimed to be the country in the world that respects and values ​​human rights the most.

But in fact, xenophobia is everywhere, gangsterism is everywhere, and Chinese exclusion is everywhere.

The works of Chinese directors are fine, and the works of Zhong Zhongqian are even more fine. There is an important supporting role in the movie with an oriental face, which is fine. It would be even better if it is a beautiful woman who conforms to the aesthetics of Westerners, but , both the male and female protagonists are oriental?

That is courting death!

Even if there is no xenophobic thought, ordinary North American audiences will be face-blind to the faces of the East.

Therefore, maybe China Liao can become popular in Europe and the United States, China Qianhe and his four beauties band can also become popular overnight, but so far, no oriental face has ever been able to become even a second-tier star in Hollywood!

At this time, Iger smiled and said: "Perhaps China Qian thinks that he bought Columbia, so he can be qualified to control the preferences of audiences in North America!"

This remark was very humorous, and many people laughed.

After finishing speaking, Iger turned to look at South Gross, who is also the director of "Jurassic Park 2: The Lost World", and said, "Hey, South, what do you think?"

South Gross shrugged his shoulders and said: "I really like this trailer, and I am also very curious about the story to be told in this movie, because as far as I know, although Chinese movies never seem to It seems that they are not good at shooting science fiction, but I have watched Zhong Zhongqian's "Once Upon a Time", and I know that they are very good at shooting action scenes and martial arts scenes, and they are even better than Hollywood in this regard!"

Everyone didn't speak, they all looked at him.

But at this time, he spread his hands again and said, "But...we have dinosaurs!"

Many people couldn't help but burst out laughing--hearing that he had prepared such a long article, it turned out that he landed here! It does look a little humorous! It seems that the rumors are not true, and South Gross is not so dull!

Iger also laughed at this time, and said confidently: "Yes, we have dinosaurs!"

While speaking, he stood up, with an attitude of looking down on the world and looking down upon the heroes.

"Two summers ago, 'Jurassic Park' grossed $1.23 billion worldwide, making us the second-highest-grossing film in the world since the invention of cinema, after James Cameron's ' Titanic! Damn James! But he can't make a sequel, his ship is sinking, but we can! People love dinosaurs, people love their sharp teeth, love their sharp claws! They love their roar !They love being scared by dinosaurs!"

"It's ridiculous that our Chinese partners actually suggested that we delay the release of "The Matrix" for a while. They said that "The Matrix" would have a huge impact on us! They suggested that we adjust the release time in China. Go to August! I told him, we are dinosaurs! We are not afraid of anyone, everyone needs to be afraid of us, even China Qian, even in his China!"

"Our Chinese friend said that in the Chinese film market last year, three of the four films directed and written by China Qian had a box office of more than 500 million yuan, and his cartoon, Seven Little Calabash, also won 400 million Chinese yuan, but I told him that we got more than 400 million Chinese yuan from China in 2002! That was 2002, and at that time, the movies made by the Chinese themselves had just started. Even Zhong Zhongqian's first "Huang" did not have as much box office as ours! We don't need to avoid him! Our volume is bigger!"

"We have stronger bodies, sharper teeth, and claws!"

"So, not only do we not need to avoid China Qian in the North American market, we also don't need to be afraid in China! We have all seen Soth's movies, and his work is very good! This work is very good, the lost world , yes, that's it, all kinds of dinosaurs, incredibly realistic dinosaurs, this will be a unique fright ride for audiences everywhere! They will pay for it!"

Speaking of this, Iger sat down and said: "So, we will promote according to the established goals. Don't pay attention to "The Matrix"!"

Applause broke out in the meeting room.

Very enthusiastic.

…………

"Hi, Miss Ming."

"Hey, Xiaoyu, sit down!"

In the coffee shop, Ming Xiaojing closed the laptop in front of him, and asked with a smile, "Did you drive here?"

He Yingyu put down her bag, shook her head, and said: "No. I hate driving more and more now, especially in the city. Alas, the traffic has really become more and more congested in the past two years. So, the assistant drives!"

Ming Xiaojing laughed.

When the waiter came over, He Yingyu ordered a cup of coffee, and then she said again: "It will be released in a few days, have you started working?"

Ming Xiaojing sighed, "It's already started. Recording programs, all kinds of crazy recording programs."

Ming Xiaojing smiled and said, "I heard that you are in charge of going to the East, and Baoshan is in charge of going to Europe and America?"

He Yingyu nodded, smiled, and looked helpless, "Otherwise, what should we do? Our director is a gentleman! We have to run alone!"

This is not confidential information, so He Yingyu naturally doesn't have to cover it up.

"The two of us first record the show here together, and then when it is released, I will go to the domestic side first, and Baoshan will go to the United States. From the United States, I may go to Europe for a few days. During this period, I will go to Japan and South Korea from China. Then we diverted to Southeast Asia, it was a big circle, and in the end, the two of us returned to China to meet up and participate in a series of activities."

Ming Xiaojing laughed when he heard this.

This is of course the real situation. It is indeed tiring for actors to run during the promotion period. But what He Yingyu said was so lively, to put it bluntly, it was also a certain degree of self-promotion!

After all, this is the second Li Qian movie she has made.

Moreover, it is an international co-produced film that is released simultaneously around the world! It is the first film to hit the world after Minghu Culture completed the acquisition of Columbia!

Her pride and complacency are obvious.

The leading actor, Zhou Baoshan, and the leading actress, she, were both called by Li Qian to make a movie for the second time, and Li Qian's "love the new and dislike the old" is well known in the circle and within the Minghu culture.

Through this "The Matrix", Zhou Baoshan and He Yingyu were brought together. In the interpretation of the circle and Minghu culture, in fact, Li Qian, as the boss, has established the role of actors in Minghu culture in the next stage of development. Focus on building direction.

Actors focus on Kung Fu superstar Zhou Baoshan, and actresses focus on He Yingyu, a young actress capable of both literature and martial arts.

This means that He Yingyu's social status is not what it used to be.

After "My Sassy Girlfriend" became popular, after filming "The Gate of Life and Death" and "Plan B", He Yingyu's popularity reached the extreme at that time, but then, because of Minghu Culture, Huafei Film and Television and Oriental Media Group continued to quarrel. , which made He Yingyu face the embarrassment that there was almost no drama for a while, even though her social status was high. At that time, she simply turned around and went back to Suncheon Film Academy to "study with peace of mind".

However, when Li Qian made great efforts again, "The Matrix" was her heroine, and then threw her to Jin Han, who was also the heroine of "Dragon Inn", she suddenly came back to life!

Although the movie hasn't been released yet, it's hard to say how the box office will be, but at least, the price she's calling out now is the real price, not the "price but no market" in the previous period.

In fact, purely speaking as an actress, Fu Hongxue will definitely not be inferior to He Yingyu. Even for a director like Ming Xiaojing, even picking a little flower that is not very famous at present is enough. , Ming Xiaojing actually repelled and resisted the huge financial pressure and filming pressure brought about by the use of He Yingyu's top actress.

However, there is no way, the stalemate between Huafei Film and Television and Minghu Culture has not been completely broken. The boss paid a big price of 60 million, just one request, to invite He Yingyu or Qin Jingjing!

Considering that Qin Jingjing is also the actress of the European Film Festival, if she is invited, she can make a gimmick like "the first cooperation between the two actresses", which is actually quite good, and her price is 10 million, which is enough High, frighteningly high, but the current He Yingyu... the price can't be lowered!

But how?

Ming Xiaojing subconsciously repulsed Qin Jingjing, who also won the Best Actress after her own!

It seems that she has taken away the most colorful ray of light from her body!

Although it followed closely, another actress in China has already been crowned queen in Cannes! But for the first, the second is always the most hateful, isn't it?

So, let's try He Yingyu as much as possible!

At this time, Ming Xiaojing asked her, "Have you read the notebook I gave you?"

He Yingyu nodded, "Look, I really like it. But, Sister Ming, isn't it too harsh to spend 60 million on a romance film? There will be a lot of pressure to pay back!"

Ming Xiaojing rolled his eyes half-truthfully, with a helpless look, "Isn't it because of you, if the boss doesn't spend a lot of money, might I invite you?"

He Yingyu smiled upon hearing this.

From the depths of her eyes, Ming Xiaojing accurately captured a little pride.

Ming Xiaojing couldn't help thinking: She really can't help being proud!

But think again: yes! Of course she can be proud! She is the little princess of Minghu Culture! She is the person that Qianer Ye strongly admires! Even by extension, she will be the No. 1 actress in the entire Minghu-Columbia system! Of course she has the capital to be proud and proud!

Picking up the cup for a sip of coffee, after putting down the cup, He Yingyu hesitated, but said, "It's about the price! Sister Ming, you know that I can't make the decision! So..."

Ming Xiaojing raised his hand, and hurriedly said: "Don't worry, I'm mainly afraid that you don't like this book, so I'll show you first, since you like it, everything will follow Qian'er's...uh, your company's procedures I will send the book to your company's brokerage department later, and send the invitation along with it. I will talk to your company's brokerage department about the price and how to negotiate the contract."

He Yingyu laughed when she heard the words, "Okay, as long as the brokerage department makes an agreement, I'm fine."

Ming Xiaojing also laughed, "With your words, I feel relieved!"

After finishing the words, she picked up the cup and took a sip of coffee, but she couldn't help thinking: It's a pity that it's not the past! If it was in the past, if I wanted to find someone to play a role, even if it was a leading actor or leading actress, even if it was a big-name actor, I only needed to call Qian'er to solve it!

Even Qian'er even agreed to appear in his first movie in a very face-saving way.

Unfortunately, not in the past!

Now even if it's me, even if I'm not looking for He Yingyu, but just a small role, an ordinary little actor, I have to go to the brokerage department of Minghu Culture to negotiate a contract slowly.

Maybe if you call Qian'er again, he still won't refute his own face. He has always been a soft-hearted person and a nostalgic person, but if he does that... he would be too shameless!

Two strangers can become good friends, but two friends who have broken up, especially friends who have betrayed in some so-called side selection, will never be able to return to the original intimacy in this life.

Of course, don't blame anyone.

Just blame yourself, too stupid and too upright, and also take the teacher-student relationship with Qin Wei too seriously.

So much so that even Kang Xiaolou was included in the blacklist of Minghu Culture.

When "Dragon Inn" started preparations, I received news that Kang Xiaolou even took the initiative to call Jin Han and Han Shunzhang to express his willingness to participate in the audition, and wanted to get a suitable role. To put it bluntly, he just wanted to restore the relationship Well, but in the end, it was declined.

The reason is fair and aboveboard: several important roles in that play have already been decided long ago, and the remaining roles are either inappropriate or too small, a pure passer-by, it is really embarrassing to let him go to play— ——In any case, Kang Xiaolou is also a big actor among drama and TV drama actors, and a powerful faction among movie actors!

Countless thoughts and sighs flashed through the center of my mind, put down the coffee cup, Ming Xiaojing was still smiling, and suddenly said: "By the way, I have seen the trailer, and I think the movie will be more interesting. "
