Chapter 822: She Said No, but Her Body Was Honest!

"Have the headlines of several entertainment news websites been confirmed for tomorrow?"

"Yes, Mr. Zhang, everything has been communicated. Once the voting results are announced tomorrow, all media will respond immediately."

At Alibaba Pictures, Zhang Qi personally led a team and was busy preparing for a series of work after the voting for "Three Lives, Three Worlds, Ten Miles of Peach Blossoms".

This movie is the largest investment of Alibaba Pictures since its establishment, so he has to be cautious!

In addition, Ma Yun has also been paying attention to this project recently, which has also put a lot of pressure on Alibaba Pictures.

"Remember, no matter what the final voting results are, the first thing we have to communicate is the first place, which is in line with the label of "fan movie", understand?"

Listening to Zhang Qi's words, everyone nodded.

But at this moment, a person in charge of actor docking frowned and said: "Mr. Zhang, the drama version is easy to deal with. We have already contacted Yang Mi in advance. She is very interested in "Three Lives Three Worlds Ten Miles of Peach Blossoms".

But for the film version, Liu Yifei rejected our invitation to the IP expansion meeting. I guess she may not accept our conditions."

"Not even with more money? You can talk to her agent and listen to their conditions first."

Backed by the parent company Alibaba, Zhang Qi is also rich.

In his plan, the most suitable one is actually the first place. If he can win the first place, it would be perfect.

Of course, if he can't win, Jing Tian, ​​who is the second place, is also possible.

Lu Zheng had already talked to him before, and the two sides talked very harmoniously and had reached a preliminary cooperation intention.

Of course, Jing Tian is just a backup. After all, Liu Yifei is more popular in comparison.

"Her agent is her mother." The person in charge was somewhat helpless: "Her mother said that Liu Yifei was not interested in "Three Lives Three Worlds Ten Miles of Peach Blossoms", and it was not her intention to participate in the vote. It was purely a spontaneous act of fans."

Hearing this, many people in the conference room were a little emotional.

Look at her reply, this is a top-tier female star!

She didn't even go to canvass for votes, but she has already won the first place in the popularity list of the vote. If she mobilized her fans a little, I'm afraid it would be easy to get the first place in both lists, right?

Zhang Qi frowned: "Let's discuss this topic later."

If it was any other actress, even if it was at the level of the four major actresses, he would have the confidence to rely on "money ability" to win her over and play the leading female role.

But Liu Yifei is the only one he really has no confidence in. The other party is not short of money or fame at all, and her boyfriend is a top director in the industry, so he is not short of resources.

Facing such an actor, he really can't find the right conditions to impress the other party.

……

Wu Yu was finished after all.

On the morning of the 6th, a notice from the cinema chain completely sentenced "The Crossing" to death!

Even though "Sicario" had been taken off the screen, so that "The Crossing" was allocated a lot of screenings, the daily new box office still fell below 500,000, officially establishing the failure of this movie.

A few days before the movie was released, Wu Yu was still wandering around the mainland, but now he has completely disappeared.

After losing so much money, it is already good that several investors don't bother him. If he dares to jump around in the mainland, he is likely to be beaten!

The mainland media reports are full of sarcasm:

"According to multiple theater chains, due to the low daily box office of "The Crossing", which is currently less than 500,000, they have considered taking it off the screen early. The film has been released for 6 days and the total box office closed at 20.64 million. The final box office may not exceed 30 million."

"After "Red Cliff", director Wu Yu suffered the biggest setback in his career in the mainland film market. No film company may be willing to invest in his films in the future."

"According to industry insiders: Producers China Film, Huayi, Bona, Youzu, etc., may lose more than 400 million yuan on the "The Crossing" series of films!"

In the UK, Chen Fei looked at the report and couldn't help laughing:

"What about the Eastern version of "Titanic", an epic masterpiece, so this thing was made?"

In addition to sarcasm, he couldn't help but feel fortunate.

Fortunately, when Han Sanping invited him to participate in the investment, he didn't choose to start, otherwise this movie would definitely become the biggest stain since the establishment of Feiyue Film and Television!

He was browsing the domestic film and television news when Liu Yifei jumped out of the bedroom, shouting:

"Chen Fei! Look! The voting results for "Eternal Love" are out. Hey, I'm still the first."

"Oh? The results are out?"

Chen Fei raised his eyebrows and switched to Weibo.

As expected, Weibo was very lively at this time. Looking around, several hot searches were all related to "Eternal Love".

Netizens and fans were even more excited at this time, cheering for their idols, hoping to attract Alibaba's attention.

Dozens of media outlets flocked to the site and reported:

"The online voting results for the ancient costume love movie "Three Lives, Three Worlds, Ten Miles of Peach Blossoms" controlled by Alibaba Pictures have just been released."

"The box office results for the leading actress in the movie version are: Liu Yifei (No.1), Jing Tian (No.2), Shu Chang (No.3)."

"The voting results for the leading actress in the drama version are: Yang Mi (No.1), Zhao Liying (No.2), Liu Shishi (No.3)."

"The results of the voting for the number one male lead are extremely unexpected. The film version (No. 1) is directed by Chen Fei, and the drama version (No. 1) is Hong Kong actor Liu Kaiwei."

"At the box office results announcement conference, Zhang Wei, president of Alibaba Pictures, said: After 20 days of voting, with the support of netizens, "Three Lives Three Worlds Ten Miles of Peach Blossom" has ushered in the most suitable cast. In order to live up to expectations, , we will try our best to negotiate with the actor with the highest number of votes and pay all costs to strive to reach a cooperation agreement..."

"According to insiders within Alibaba Pictures, the team is currently in enthusiastic contact with Chen Fei and Liu Yifei. If nothing goes wrong, the two will serve as the leading male and female lead respectively in the film version of "Three Lives Three Worlds" as a real-life couple. No. 1.

"At the same time, the Alibaba Pictures team is also in contact with Yang Mi and Liu Kaiwei. If nothing unexpected happens, the two will meet the expectations of netizens..."

In the hotel, Chen Fei sneered: "Are we regarded as the targets of hype?"

It is no exaggeration to say that on the stage of the entertainment industry, the names of Chen Fei and Liu Yifei have become box office guarantees!

Their combination is like a match made in heaven, and every collaboration is eye-catching, as if the light of the entire entertainment industry is focused on the two of them.

With her outstanding popularity and unique charm, Liu Yifei has already occupied an irreplaceable position in the hearts of the audience.

She is now firmly ranked first with a high number of votes. This is not only a recognition of her strength, but also an affirmation of her popularity and status.

Not to mention Chen Fei, who has countless honors and is recognized as a leader in the industry. He has extremely high attainments in both director and actor.

If the two can co-star in "Three Lives Three Worlds, Ten Miles of Peach Blossom", it will undoubtedly be the icing on the cake for this movie.

This meeting has set off an unprecedented craze on the Internet. Fans are enthusiastic and full of expectations for this collaboration between the two.

Many fans have expressed that the couple Chen Fei and Liu Yifei are the best partners in their hearts, and they are very much looking forward to them joining hands in "Three Lives, Three Worlds, Ten Miles of Peach Blossom".

Even in the eyes of many film producers in the film and television industry, the results of this voting should be certain.

After all, this is an exclusive project produced by Alibaba Pictures. It is definitely top-notch in terms of resources and remuneration, and will definitely impress Chen Fei and Liu Yifei.

No matter how high their status is, they can't be so stupid that they won't make money even if they have it, right?

Chen Fei may even join the movie version of "Three Lives Three Worlds" as a producer. After all, he is a big director with big capital.

"Then what should we do now? Should we reply to Ali? Or should we explain it to our fans on Weibo?"

Liu Yifei looked at Chen Fei curiously. Anyway, she would definitely not play this female lead.

You know, even the company's latest fairy tale project "Zhu Xian" was rejected by her, let alone "Three Lives Three Worlds Ten Miles of Peach Blossom".

She had specifically read the original version of this novel before, and felt that it was a little intellectually subversive, as it was all about falling in love under the slogan of ancient costume fantasy.

This kind of movie is so "nutritious" that as a Cannes best actress, she can't even watch it.

Chen Fei shook his head slightly: "You don't need to pay attention to it, and you don't need to explain it. Just pretend you didn't see it. At this time, whatever you do is just to help Ali gain popularity. There is no need."

"Oh, okay, I'll listen to you." Liu Yifei nodded obediently.

"Listen to me?" Chen Fei's eyes lit up, "Then the gesture I proposed last night, can you also listen to me?"

"Hmph! I don't want it!"

Liu Yifei snorted and turned her head proudly, but her straight buttocks did not leave Chen Fei's arms.

This is commonly known as: saying no, but the body is very honest!

…

It's dark here in the UK, but it's still bright in the country.

On the Internet, the popularity of "Three Lives Three Worlds: Ten Miles of Peach Blossom" is soaring, and it is almost reaching the point of being hotly debated by the whole people.

"Am I completely hopeless?"

Yang Ying looked at her voting ranking, pouted in embarrassment, and stared at Huang Xiaoming.

Although this is a proposition, the leader can only choose to jump into the pit: "Your movie version is ranked fifth, your drama version is ranked fourth, and you are not even in the top three. Even if I want to mobilize my connections to help you , no chance either!”

At this moment, Huang Xiaoming finally clearly saw the gap between his girlfriend and those real A-list flowers.

Even if Yang Ying deliberately manipulated the number of votes, he still couldn't catch up with the real "top players". This shows how big the gap between the two sides is!

Especially in terms of national recognition, because Yang Ying doesn't have any high-quality TV series that can lead to success, she can't even catch up with Liu Shishi.

This is very embarrassing.

With such a low ranking, it will definitely not be among Ali's top choices.

If he forcefully uses his connections to push her forward, I'm afraid Yang Ying's Weibo will be wiped out on the day the results are announced!

"But……"

Yang Ying was very unconvinced and seemed to want to say something, but was directly interrupted by Huang Xiaoming.

"Okay, you don't have to think about "Three Lives, Three Worlds and Ten Miles of Peach Blossoms". There is no hope or possibility anymore."

At this point, he suddenly changed the subject: "Huace's "A Little Smile Is Alluring" has also launched a movie version and a drama version.

As far as I know, the drama version has been confirmed to star Yang Yang and Zheng Shuang, but the male and female protagonists in the movie version have not yet been determined..."

Hearing this, Yang Ying's big eyes widened.

Hope ignited in her heart again, she looked at Huang Xiaoming expectantly, hugged his arm and swung it, and asked in a delicate tone: "So, I can become the number one female lead in the movie, right? "

Huang Xiaoming smiled confidently: "Of course, I am very familiar with Huace's boss and have already greeted him in advance. Just find a time to sign the contract."

Hearing this, Yang Ying immediately cheered: "Ah! Husband! I love you to death! You are so great!"

As she spoke, she dragged Huang Xiaoming towards the bedroom.

"Hey? What are you doing in broad daylight?"

"Of course I'm going to reward you! Thanks to you, I can get the female lead."

"How about forget it, it's broad daylight..."

Huang Xiaoming muttered, but did not stop and followed Yang Ying straight to the bedroom.

…

Compared with Yang Ying who relies on "capital", Yang Mi will undoubtedly have to make greater efforts.

"Mimi, although you won the first place in the drama version vote, you can't take it lightly, because Shu Chang and Liu Shishi are not less popular than you now, and they are likely to use other means to win the female lead."

"I understand." Yang Mi just breathed a sigh of relief, and now she breathed a sigh of relief: "The scandal hype between Liu Kaiwei and I cannot stop now. We must wait until we get the contract before we can settle down."

"That's right!" Zeng Jia nodded heavily: "I have already contacted Alibaba Pictures. I will go to them in the afternoon to negotiate the contract and try to win it at once."

"Okay, thank you for your hard work."

Zeng Jia smiled: "No, compared to me, you are the one who works harder. If we can negotiate a cooperation this time, I am ready to arrange for some people from our company to come in."

Yang Mi frowned slightly: "Are you bringing someone new?"

"Well, in order to go public, this is the only way. This is the fastest shortcut."

"All right."

Yang Mi reluctantly agreed.

The top three are still working hard, and the top ten are naturally unwilling to lag behind.

On the starry side, Lu Zheng has already set off, determined to win the leading female role in the film version for Jing Tian.

At the same time, Huanrui, Chengtian, Hairun, etc. also took action and began to plan roles for their own artists.

"Three Lives, Three Worlds, Ten Miles of Peach Blossom" is a big piece of cake, and Alibaba Pictures has no contracted actors, so naturally everything is open to the outside world.

It's just that, while there are those who are willing to open up to the outside world, there are also those who choose to "work behind closed doors" and enjoy exclusive benefits.

On the morning of the 6th, new news about "Journey to the West: Conquering the Demons", which has been in low-key preparation for a long time, finally came out!

This movie, jointly produced by China Film, Xinghui, Wanda, Huayi, Alibaba and many other film and television giants in the industry, officially announced that it would start shooting in Hengdian that morning after completing long-term preparations.

Relevant reports and press releases from the media can be said to be pouring in:

"It is reported that as the sequel to "Journey to the West: Conquering Demons", "Journey to the West: Conquering Demons" will continue to be written by the talented Zhou Xingchi, and the heavy responsibility of directing will fall on the shoulders of director Xu Ke."

"The starring cast of "Journey to the West: Conquering Monsters" was officially announced at today's launch conference: young actors Wu Yifan, Lin Jiexin, Yao Chen, Bao Beier, Wang Likun, and newcomer actor Lin Yun appointed by director Zhou Xingchi will join this magical film Comedy movie.”

"At the press conference, Huayi President Wang Zhonglei appeared and had a good chat with Zhou Xingchi about the screening. The suspected conflict between the two parties due to "Journey to the West: Conquering the Demons" seems to have disappeared."

…

With the stunning debut of "Journey to the West: Conquering the Demons", the Internet immediately became lively.

Some people are discussing the theme of the movie, while others are focusing on the actors.

Especially Wu Yifan, he has become a box office guarantee in the hearts of many "brainless fans". His role as the protagonist of "Journey to the West" has made many fans excited.

In addition, many people have also set their sights on the new "star girl" Lin Yun.

Being "appointed" by Zhou Xingchi undoubtedly ensures that its future development will be smooth sailing!

Other fans said that with the cooperation of Zhou Xingchi and Xu Ke, coupled with such a strong cast, "Journey to the West: Conquering Monsters" will definitely become a masterpiece that surpasses its predecessor!

They are eagerly looking forward to the early release of this movie, which will bring them more surprises and joy.

However, in the eyes of many professionals, this selection of actors is obviously not a pure artistic choice, but full of capital!

The main characters in the movie are all actors who have close relationships with industry giants, or are artists from giant companies, or other big-name star actors with deep backgrounds in the industry.

Such a lineup undoubtedly completely excludes "ordinary actors" and artists from small companies, highlighting a posture of internal digestion and exchange of interests.

Although this casting method ensures the commercial success of the film to a certain extent, after all, the joining of well-known actors not only brings higher attention to the film, but also attracts a large number of fans.

However, this strategy has also caused a lot of controversy.

Some people in the industry believe that movies, as an art form, should pay more attention to the creation of characters and the expression of stories, rather than just pursuing commercial interests.

This practice of over-reliance on big-name actors may limit the innovation and diversity of movies.

At the same time, this casting strategy also reflects a certain reality in the current entertainment industry.

Driven by capital and interests, many film producers prefer to choose actors with backgrounds and resources, while ignoring those newcomers who are truly talented but lack opportunities.

This undoubtedly intensifies the competition and injustice in the entertainment industry, and makes many young people with dreams feel helpless and disappointed.

However, companies such as Huayi and Alibaba don’t care about the opposition voices in the circle at all. Compared with the skyrocketing stock price, they don’t care about anything else.

Even the lawsuit filed by South Korea’s SM Company against Wu Yifan is not a big problem for them.

As long as the stock price can rise and there are enough leeks for them to cut, everything is not a problem.

What kind of movie innovation and diversity are not as important as making money?
