In the Beginning, I Just Wanted to Make Money

Chapter 740 Premiere of "Painted Skin"

September 26, 9 a.m., Jiahe International Cinema in Beijing.

The flagship store of Jiahe Cinema Line has 12 screening rooms, including an IMAX screening room!

All configurations are five-star level.

Early in the morning, the staff had arrived.

In fact, according to regulations, the official opening time of the cinema is 9:20, because generally speaking, the first show time is 9:40.

Isn't this the first road show of "Painted Skin"?

The elevator opened, and a young girl came out of the elevator. She was a staff member of the theater, and she was startled by the waiting audience!

There are too many people!

I walked through the crowd with some difficulty and went to the locker room to change into work clothes.

"This is too exaggerated...Don't these people have to go to work or go to school?"

“Let’s take a break for the National Day…”

The colleague who was changing clothes at the side replied casually, and then thought of something: "By the way, Shen Xudong will come too later. Aren't you a fan of his? Find an opportunity to take a photo together!"

"...Really? Xudong is coming too? When?"

"He usually appears at post-screening meetings... to share his movie-watching experience with the audience."

"Then he has time to take a photo with me?"

"Don't worry, he will arrive half an hour early and set aside time in the reception room to sign autographs and take photos... The manager will inform us!"

Well, generally speaking, this is Shen Xudong's itinerary.

There is no need to change.

Sure enough, around 10:30, Shen Xudong arrived at the studio. At this time, the publicity staff of the "Painted Skin" crew had also arrived at the studio.

In the reception room, Shen Xudong saw Wu Jing, Chen Hao and Deng Chao - Deng Chao was designated by Shen Xudong to play Wang Sheng.

Of course Chen Kun was suitable, but Shen Xudong didn't have the same aura as him, so he was not used.

Combined with the memory of later generations, I always feel that this person is very artificial.

Normal people can’t do activities like ‘the power of walking’!

Normal people don’t talk when they walk!

This activity is good, but if you film it, there will be a problem. Are you introspecting on foot or doing a gimmick to show off?

When Zhao Baogang was preparing for "Never Close Eyes", he was hesitant about choosing two male lead candidates, one was Chen Kun and the other was Lu Yi. Later, Haiyan reminded him: If Lu Yi plays Xiao Tong, the audience will sympathize with him. If Chen Kun plays Xiao Tong, the audience will think that he is inherently bad and will not sympathize with him.

It later proved that Lu Yi was indeed more suitable.

Coming back, Shen Xudong didn't see Zhou Xun and asked casually: "Where is Zhou Xun?"

"...Her agent said she has a job!"

"Have a job? During the promotion period, you told me that you have a job?"

Huang Bin explained: "It must be that the Huayi brothers don't want her to participate in publicity!"

"Do you have her agent's phone number?"

"have!"

"Then have you fought for it?"

"I think... there is no need to include her. Since Huayi Brothers doesn't want her to participate in publicity, then we won't let her come!"

"What do you think? Xiao Wei, played by Zhou Xun, is the soul of "Painted Skin". Besides, if the Huang brothers don't let her come, you won't let her come. Are you so obedient? Are you from our company or theirs? "

Huang Bin quickly said: "I...I'll call right away!"

Shen Xudong nodded: "Call now, put on speakerphone!"

Then I heard Zhou Xun's manager pushing back and forth, saying, "Zhou Xun has other work, and the company has other arrangements for her schedule..." Huang Bin used a pleading attitude to try to persuade him to arrange for Zhou Xun to come over, but Shen Xudong couldn't listen. Went down: "Hello, I'm Shen Xudong..."

"Mr. Shen!"

"Listen carefully, I'm at Jiahe Cinema in Beijing now, and I'm going to see Zhou Xun within half an hour..."

"Zhou Xun... I have an appointment with the advertising agency today. We are going to Shanghai for filming..."

"I don't care what she is doing or where she is. Even if she is growing potatoes on Mars, she still has to show up at Golden Harvest Cinemas in half an hour. Do you understand?"

"But…"

"Don't tell me about difficulties, I just want results. Remember, if she doesn't wait for half an hour..." Shen Xudong changed his tone: "You can try the consequences!"

Shen Xudong is not only the helmsman of Tianmei, but also the new leader of the Beijing circle. In the film and television industry, it is not an exaggeration to say that his hands and eyes are as good as the sky.

If he fights against someone, no matter who it is, he will definitely fight to death!

Even the top female celebrities.

In Shen Xudong's eyes, there is no difference between a net worth of 10 million and a net worth of 100. In the eyes of ordinary people, you are the county magistrate, but in Huang Silang's eyes, you are just kneeling down to beg for food.

As long as the ban exceeds three years, who cares who you are?

Being a star depends on exposure. If you don't expose yourself for a period of time, if you come out again, you won't have much starlight...

However, Huang Bin, including Wu Jing, Chen Hao, and Deng Chao who were present at the scene, were a little surprised by Shen Xudong's attitude...

If it had been left to the past, Shen Xudong would definitely have persuaded her with kind words and soft words.

Shen Xudong looked at a group of people looking at him and thought he had said something wrong. He quickly explained: "The actor's contract stipulates that she must cooperate with the crew in publicity. She dare not not come!"

"...No," Chen Hao copied what Shen Xudong said just now, "I don't care what she is doing or where she is. Even if she is growing potatoes on Mars, she still has to show up at Golden Harvest Cinema in half an hour. Do you understand?" ? ’, and commented by the way: “You are so majestic now, you really deserve to be a rich man!”

"What kind of rich man?"

"nothing…"

"...It's not my prestige, it's her fault...She was paid for acting, and the salary included the cost of road show promotion!

Moreover, we and the Huayi brothers are rivals. There is no need to be secretive. They have already shown their swords, so why should we be polite to them? "

Even China Film and Shen Xudong dare to knock against each other, but they are just brothers Huayi...

Without Feng Xiaogang, he is nothing!

Shen Xudong has never regarded them as opponents...

Since the other party has made a move, let's play with them!

Although Zhou Xun is owned by Huayi, since her status still has commercial value, it is impossible for Huayi Brothers to force her to do things.

Speaking of this, Shen Xudong told Huang Bin: "Be tougher in the future. We will act in accordance with the contract and we will handle the matter in court!"

Huang Bin nodded and was about to say something when the theater manager knocked on the door and came in...

It's time to get things done!

The creative team had to sign posters and postcards, and take photos with the studio staff...

By the way, check the media coming in - it's the first show!

After working for a while, the first screening was almost over. Zhou Xun finally rushed over. The first thing he did was apologize to Shen Xudong... The latter just said, "It's good to be here!"

"Painted Skin" is really a very good commercial movie. Putting aside the magical appearance, it is actually a very typical story of choosing between white roses and red roses!

Chen Jia Shang made his debut in the middle-class romance film "Little Man Weekly", and he is very familiar with this kind of story...

You said it was a high-level film, but it didn't go into depth at all.

The plot of the story is about the different paths of human beings and the unpredictable human nature, with contradictions and conflicts...

It could have been a good start for domestic fantasy movies.

It's a pity that the domestic film and television environment has plummeted.

I thought it was just a good idea, but it turned out to be bad before it got better...

Chen Jiashang later created a movie called "Painting on the Wall". The story was fake, the special effects were fake, and the art was all kinds of vulgar...

"Don't think too much. This is the story of a mistress who falls in love with a married man. The costumes are just an illusion of a dynasty..."
