Chapter 1053: Competition for the Second Female Lead Is Unavoidable! The Premiere of "Dying to Survive" Ended Successfully!

Chapter 1053 Competition for the second female lead... Helpless! The premiere of "Dying to Survive" ended successfully!

"At 9 o'clock this morning, Feiyue Film and Television and Golden Harvest Films issued a notice: The mainland and Hong Kong co-production "Wushuang" starring Wang Zhiwen, Guo Fucheng, Chen Hao, Liu Shishi, Wang Yaoqing and others will be officially scheduled for release during the 2018 Spring Festival."

"The Film Bureau issued the latest batch of script review announcements, among which the scripts "Take My Brother Away" and "Time Travel" submitted by Feiyue Film and Television were listed."

"After calling Feiyue Film and Television, the reporter learned that "Take My Brother Away" was adapted from the cartoonist You Ling. The comic of the same name by the sisters mainly tells the story of the two siblings Shifen and Shimiao from loving and killing each other to protecting each other.

At present, the leading actress of the film has been confirmed to be Zhang Zifeng, a post-00 actress, and the other roles will be auditioned one by one in the future. "

"The action and fantasy film "Pirates of the Caribbean 5: Dead Men Tell No Tales", produced by Disney and starring Johnny Depp, will hold its premiere in Beijing in three days..."

A new day has arrived, and with the release date of "Wushuang", there is another wailing in the industry.

Although the Spring Festival is a big period, it can't stand the successive release of many blockbusters!

Now with the release dates of "Monster Hunt 2" and "Wushuang" being set in succession, this has divided at least half of the traffic.

In this case, there are not many opportunities left for other film and television companies!

And some film producers who originally wanted to compete for a wave of traffic during the Spring Festival have already stopped their efforts and started to consider how to choose the release date for their own films again.

At the same time, many post-00s male and female actors in the industry have focused their attention on the script of "Take My Brother Away".

On the other hand, everyone still doesn't know what the plot of "Time Travel Cohabitation" is, but because "Take My Brother Away" is adapted from a comic, everyone has learned a lot of information as soon as the script came out.

"Although the role of Shi Miao has been confirmed, there is another role called 'Miao Miaomiao' that is quite suitable for you. The only flaw is... this is the second female role."

On the crew of "My Classmate is 200 Million Years Old", Li Gengxi made a decision without hesitation after listening to Xu Jinglei's words.

"Aunt, let's play the second female lead. I have no objection. This is a film project after all, and I'm just a new actor. It's great to have such a suitable opportunity."

"Yeah, that's right. Not aiming too high is also the basis for an actor to go higher and further."

Xu Jinglei praised Li Gengxi, and then said directly: "Okay, you start shooting first. I'm quite familiar with Zhong Lifang of Feiyue Film and Television. I'll ask you for an audition first."

"Yeah, okay, thank you aunt."

"You're welcome. Since you signed with my studio, I naturally have to be responsible for your future."

At the same time, in the Beijing Dance Academy on the other side, Liu Haocun was talking on the phone with his mother.

"Doudou, think about it, should you compete for the role of 'Miao Miaomiao' first? Or wait for director Zhang Yimou to finish filming "Shadow" and then debut directly as a 'Mou Girl'?"

Listening to his mother's words, Liu Haocun couldn't help but fall into deep thought.

After a moment, she said, "Mom, my idea is to sign up for the audition for "Take My Brother Away" first. Regardless of whether I can pass or not, it would be nice to go to Feiyue Films to show my face."

"Well, that's true. Frequent appearances in front of the public will also be of great benefit to your future... Then I will sign up for you and send your resume."

"Okay, thank you, Mom."

At the same time, when many post-00s and post-95s actors set their sights on the project of "Take My Brother Away", Guo Fan was also chatting with Zhao Jinmai about the same topic on the crew of "The Wandering Earth".

"Although our film is about to be completed, the post-production time is very long, and the expected release time is at least until 2019.

During this period, as an actor, you naturally cannot stop, so I am going to recommend you to audition for the role of 'Miao Miaomiao' to maintain your exposure. What do you think?"

Although Zhao Jinmai felt a little uncomfortable about playing a supporting role for Zhang Zifeng, she also knew that this opportunity was indeed rare.

After all, before participating in "The Wandering Earth", she rarely had access to film projects.

Not to mention the second female lead, even the guest roles were pitifully few.

So, this project is undoubtedly very good for her now, and it is also a rare opportunity...

Thinking of this, she immediately nodded and said: "Okay, Director Guo, I will listen to you."

"Yeah, okay, then I will say hello to General Manager Zhong and ask her to keep this role for you."

Unlike other actors who have to participate in multiple rounds of auditions, direct promotion within the company allows actors to directly participate in the last round of auditions, or even directly get the role.

Guo Fan is still quite confident about helping Zhao Jinmai get this role, after all, this is not a top-level project.

It is also normal for the project of one's own company to be digested by its own actors.

At the same time, in the office of a deputy director of Mango TV.

"Brother-in-law! You must help me with this matter! Feiyue Film and Television actually intervened. They wanted to get Zhang Zifeng's agent appointment from me, and they also gave her a leading female role in the movie. I didn't even think about it. I can’t compete!”

Hearing this, Deputy Director Wang raised his head and glanced at his brother-in-law, and asked in a deep voice: "How do you want me to help you? To threaten Feiyue Film and Television and tell them not to cooperate with Zhang Zifeng?"

As soon as these words came out, there was a sudden silence in the office.

Are you going to go head-to-head with Feiyue Film and Television?

Not to mention that he is just a deputy director of Mango Channel, not even the director has the guts!

"We can't just let it go, right? I've taken her with me for so many years, and she's leaving when she says she wants to leave? Then where should I put my face?"

"You can sue her."

Deputy Director Wang was filled with impatience towards his troubled brother-in-law.

If it weren't for his wife's sake, he wouldn't even see her!

"There's no way to sue! Her contract will expire at the end of July, and she hasn't done anything illegal now... I've already consulted a lawyer, and I can't win even if I sue."

"Then what else do you want?"

"I'm just angry! A good money tree has been poached by others. Where can I make money in the future?"

"..."

Deputy Director Wang was speechless when he heard this.

The cooperation between agents and artists has always been mutually beneficial and win-win.

But now it's good, my brother-in-law regards me as a cash cow, exploiting him in all kinds of ways, it's strange that I can continue to cooperate with him!

"I can't handle this matter. You can think of a way on your own. They are leaving after the contract expires and they are not terminating the contract halfway. What can I do? I can't afford to offend Feiyue Film and Television. If you have the ability, just think of a way on your own. "

After saying the next sentence, Deputy Director Wang took the bag and left, leaving his brother-in-law alone and messy in the wind...

His biggest backer couldn't do anything, let alone himself.

Formal channels were definitely unavailable, and as for the dark paths... He was frightened when he thought of the security guards that Feiyue Film and Television provided to its actors and directors.

Du Ta Ma is a veteran who has experienced hundreds of battles. The gangsters he knows will probably have to lie down and eat mud after a few hits!

…

As night falls in China, a new day begins here in Cannes.

Waking up early in the morning, just as Chen Fei was preparing to go to the screening room for the premiere of "I'm Not the God of Medicine", he bumped into Fan Bingbing just as he went out.

"Director Chen~"

This woman is becoming more and more like a vixen, and she speaks in a coquettish voice.

"What's wrong? Is something wrong?" Chen Fei stood still and looked at her curiously.

"Here, here you go." Fan Bingbing opened his handbag and took out an invitation covered with palm leaves: "The Cannes Organizing Committee asked me to forward this invitation to you."

Chen Fei reached out and took it, opened it and took a look, only to see the words "Cannes 70th Anniversary Celebration Party" written clearly inside.

As for the time, it was scheduled for a week later, two days before the closing ceremony.

"You are a distinguished guest, sitting in the first row. We judges can only sit in the third row..." Fan Bingbing chirped, unable to hide his envy.

If she can win a big award like Best Actress at Cannes, she can definitely sit in the second row!

But unfortunately, the two awards of Best Actress at the Tokyo International Film Festival and Best Actress at the San Sebastian International Film Festival were not enough to make her comparable to the Best Actress at Cannes.

"Okay, I understand."

Chen Fei put away the invitation letter and was already worried.

The filming of "Avengers 3" has to be delayed again, which is really troublesome...

"Director Chen, I heard that the movie you are currently filming is about to be finished. I don't know what new projects you are going to start next? Are there any roles suitable for me?"

"If there is, I will let you know."

"Yeah, okay, I'd like to thank you in advance. Don't bother me. I have to go back and change my clothes to prepare for the premiere of "The God of Medicine"."

After saying that, Fan Bingbing turned around and left.

After she left, the door behind Chen Fei was opened, and Liu Yifei stepped out.

"Don't she already have a boyfriend? Why is she still like this? She talks coquettishly to other men..."

Miss Liu muttered unhappily, feeling very unhappy about Fan Bingbing acting coquettishly for Chen Fei just now.

"You mean Li Chen? Haha, boyfriend and girlfriend?"

Chen Fei curled his lips, with a bit of sarcasm on his face.

These two are just doing what they want now, so it would be strange to finally get together!

…

The Cannes premiere of "I'm Not the God of Medicine" was quite grand. The overall layout of the Cinema Palace as the screening area was full of strong Chinese style. The red carpet was even covered with flowers, creating a festive and yet Solemn atmosphere.

Check out the 16-9 book bar to see the correct version!

Many people from the film industry, media reporters and movie fans flocked to the Film Palace, looking forward to this highly anticipated Chinese film.

Many of the judges of this year's Cannes International Film Festival, as well as filmmakers from China and Hollywood, were almost always present.

Of course, the stars on the red carpet are also indispensable.

Han Jia Nyeo entered the venue early, fearing that she would be disgusted by the carpet stars.

Chen Fei and Han Sanping were responsible for receiving guests at the door.

As for Ren Zhonglun and Wang Yong, they returned to China overnight last night and will not come over until the closing ceremony begins.

"Brother Chen Kai is here."

Hearing the reminder from his ear, Chen Fei subconsciously turned his head, and then saw Brother Chen Kai and his family being interviewed by the media.

As the only two winners of the Golden Palm Award in China, the great poet Chen is naturally also an invited guest at the 70th anniversary celebration of Cannes.

It just so happened that the post-production of "Legend of the Demon Cat" was also completed, so he simply brought the film to promote it.

However, Director Xiao Han did not give a good evaluation of his new film after watching it.

If it weren't for the lack of time, Chen Fei would have wanted to take a look, after all, Brother Chen Kai shouted the slogan that the box office of "Legend of the Demon Cat" must break 2 billion!

"Director Chen, Producer Chen, I'm sorry for not welcoming you..."

"Haha, don't be so polite."

For a director who is more awesome than himself, Brother Chen Kai is still quite convinced.

Although he is very envious and jealous of Chen Fei's achievements, he also recognizes it very much.

Of course, this kind of recognition will not appear on Zhang Yimou.

He was not convinced by the country bumpkin who had carried the camera for him.

"Come in, everyone. The seats are arranged and the screening is about to start."

"Okay."

Chen Hong wanted to talk to Chen Fei about Ever Night, but the timing was obviously not right, so she had to give up.

...

More than 20 minutes later, after all the guests entered the venue, the premiere of I Am Not the God of Medicine officially kicked off.

With the introduction of the host, Chen Fei led Han Jianu, Qin Hao, Liu Yifei, Tan Zhuo and other main creative staff to the stage.

Everyone smiled and waved to the audience and guests.

In addition, Lu Yong, the prototype of the movie, also came to the premiere.

As a leukemia patient, his deeds of buying generic drugs from India in order to save himself and other patients have deeply moved everyone on the scene!

After a brief interview and plot introduction, the complete film of I Am Not the God of Medicine appeared on the big screen.

"There is only one kind of disease in the world, poverty! You can't cure this disease, and you can't cure it."

"It's a natural disaster to have no medicine for the disease, and it's a man-made disaster to have medicine but not be able to afford it!"

"I've been sick for three years and have been taking medicine for three years at 40,000 yuan a bottle! My house is gone, and my family is also dragged down... Who doesn't have a patient in their family? Can you guarantee that you won't get sick for the rest of your life? I don't want to die, I want to live!"

"When I first got sick, my wife was only six months pregnant, and I wanted to die every day... Now I have medicine but no money. Haha, if my son had a baby earlier, I could have become a grandfather."

"The noblest thing in the world is kindness, which is a tribute to life."

"He is only 20 years old, and he wants to live. What's wrong with him?"

"I want to tell you that life...it's money!"

The scenes flashed on the screen, showing both the brilliance of humanity and the cruelty of reality, leaving a very deep impression on the guests and the audience.

The profound theme, vivid plot and superb acting skills all won unanimous praise from the audience.

Many people were even moved by the film's warm and touching story and shed tears of emotion.

At the same time, the real social problems revealed were also exposed to everyone, which was extremely moving!

After the 117-minute screening, the scene suddenly broke out into thunderous applause, which lasted for a long time, forming a sharp contrast with the opening ceremony yesterday.

In the audience, Han Jianu secretly breathed a sigh of relief, and her heart, which had been hanging for a long time, finally sank.

At the same time, Brother Chen Kai in the crowd was shocked, and he murmured: "This quality, this subject matter... If nothing unexpected happens, I'm afraid it will win another award."

Hearing this, Chen Hong beside him was moved and her eyes were bright.

Unlike Brother Chen Kai's shock, what she was thinking at this time was that if she could let her son film with Chen Fei, the popularity and heat blessing would definitely be several times higher than it is now!

"It seems that I have to keep an eye on it in the future, and I must find the right cooperation opportunity!"

...

After the premiere of "Dying to Survive", Chen Fei rushed to the airport immediately, ready to return to Hollywood to continue filming "Avengers 3".

As for the subsequent public relations operations, there will naturally be a professional team in charge, and the crew only needs to wait for news.

As for the copyright transaction, Chen Fei had abandoned it a long time ago.

Feiyue Film and Television now has the ability and channels for copyright development and independent operation, and can arrange it properly by itself, so why sell it to other companies in a package?

At the same time, just as Chen Fei boarded the plane to leave, the premiere program report and critics' evaluation of the movie "Dying to Survive" in Cannes were freshly released:

Hollywood Reporter: "As the "Chinese version of "Dallas Buyers Club", "Dying to Survive" is also based on a true story. It reveals social reality through the smuggling of low-priced generic drugs from India, which has aroused people's deep thinking and has extremely profound social significance."

International Screen reported: "The actor Qin Hao's acting successfully achieved the transformation of the film's tone, from noisy and dissolute to solemn and dignified, showing his transformation from a speculative businessman to a true savior. This is his best performance so far!"

"In my opinion, "Dying to Survive" is a major breakthrough in the Chinese film industry. By discussing issues related to real life in China, it has a social impact... The anger in the second half of the film hits people's hearts directly, making the film more than just a work made up of stars."

"The film successfully combines social themes with commercial elements, allowing the audience to feel the depth of the film and enjoy the fun of watching it during the viewing process. This is undoubtedly the best combination!"

"This movie made me start to think about profound issues such as law and morality, life and death, and at the same time it also shows the brilliance and kindness of human nature, and it is extremely outstanding in narrative, performance, photography, etc. It is an excellent work that is very worth recommending and watching!"

Under the hard work of the public relations team, a large number of good reviews permeated the program reports of the Cannes International Film Festival, and at the same time, it flew to all parts of the world as if it had wings.

And when these news reports were transmitted back to the mainland, they aroused the expectations of countless people.

After all, according to the current popularity, "Dying to Survive" seems to be very likely to win a Golden Palm Award for the Chinese film industry again!
