Chapter 408 Is It Possible?
It was a star-studded premiere at the premiere of The Old Man .
There were so many media outlets that Wang Yan did not join in the fun with An Xiaofang. He dragged Wang Muye to a theater near the Water Cube and bought tickets to enter.
It's a bit weird for the two men to watch other movies, but they fit in perfectly with each other when they watch Old Hustlers.
Many men from the imperial capital came to watch the movie in groups, and it was rare to overwhelm the young female fans.
When the show started, the 6:30 screening was almost full, with an attendance rate of about 90%.
Wang Yan observed secretly and asked in a low voice: "What do you think the box office will be like?"
Wang Muye said casually: "Just for those actors, the box office will be 200 million in two days. Let's look at the quality next."
That's the truth.
Movie kings and movie queens + small steel guns + two big and small fresh meats, a lineup that I can’t envy.
The two of them watched the movie in peace, making comments from time to time.
Wang Yan's first feeling was: "The first half is too tame, and the plot connection is too loose."
Wang Muye's focus is completely different: "The image presentation and scene design are very good, and the lines are well prepared!"
As he continued reading, Mr. Wang frowned: "Isn't this plot development a bit insulting to the audience's intelligence?"
Wang Muye nodded in agreement, and then found another advantage: "The tragic feeling of the hero's twilight years is very good."
"The skeleton of the plot is too fragile and will break at the first glance."
"But the spiritual core should resonate - the reason why I am Luther is the fault of the times. I can lose, but I will not accept it."
Young Master Wang finally agreed: "Although it is a bit cheap, this film hits all the points that need to be poked, which is commendable."
It is commendable because there are so many bad films in the current film market, and it comes out of comparison.
If Mr. Wang was really asked to rate the movie, on a 10-point scale, the maximum would be 6.
In the early stage, it was really supported by acting skills, superstars, and the charm of the imperial dialect. It was no better than the original Witch.
Although the early stage of the original Witch is cumbersome, the thread of the plot is not lost and is always moving forward.
"Let's take this as a warning. When we shoot the witch, we need to be beautiful in the early stage."
Mr. Wang finally made a summary, closely focusing on the core theme of today's movie viewing.
Wang Muye nodded silently, thinking about something.
The collaboration between Da Shao and Wang Muye is very harmonious. This is a very dedicated young director who is hardworking and has that kind of love for movies, which is rare.
After watching the movie, the two took a car to the nearby Pangu Seven Star Hotel to attend a thank you banquet.
It is no exaggeration to say that half of the entertainment industry is here today.
Huayi + small steel cannon + tube guide, the power is amazing.
Not to mention Wang Yan, a layman, even An Xiaofang, a famous producer, is not considered a big shot in today's situation.
Wang Yan was happy and relaxed, touching female stars everywhere.
With nothing to do, I turned on my radar and scanned people's makeup for their actual looks and special points.
Hiss...hiss!
What an eye-opener!
The special scores of many well-known actresses are pitifully low.
Long-term high-intensity work, irregular work and rest hours, and daily heavy makeup are all important reasons.
As for the core reason...ahem, there is no core reason!
Seeing the big crab on the buffet table with its teeth and claws flexing, Wang Yan silently broke off a crab claw and kept everything he saw in his heart.
At the scene, Wang Yan finally saw Zha Zha.
Her appearance is 99 points, and she is like a benchmark in the young man's heart.
In full makeup, she is so beautiful that it kills you.
And there is no popular female star around, probably because she is afraid of being a foil.
Not just her, but several other actresses who are famous for their beauty are the same, and they are far apart from each other.
Even if there were no media reporters carrying equipment in the venue, they still maintained the attitude of being a king without seeing the king.
Bingbing, Yaya, Hot Bar, Secret... they are all top-notch beautiful under their makeup.
However, Bingbing has the lowest overall score, Yaya is so thin that it's heartbreaking, Hot Bar's heavy makeup makes her look old-fashioned, Secret is so tired that she's in a terrible state, and she really has the highest score among the whole group.
The legendary No. 1 makeup artist is indeed true.
Then Wang Yan saw one of the candidates for the second female lead, Wang Haiou.
The score is surprisingly well maintained, mature and charming, full of charm.
After observing the other person for a moment, imagining how to make the femme fatale look and what the effect would be like after making it, Mr. Wang nodded with satisfaction.
It's a good fit indeed.
Women—especially female celebrities—are always sensitive to this kind of observation.
Young Master Wang was sizing it up when she suddenly turned her head and took a look.
When their eyes met, Wang Haiou was slightly startled.
Probably because it's too unfamiliar.
Mr. Wang's appearance score of 83 points means he is a handsome guy in daily circles, but nothing in the entertainment industry.
All the handsome guys with a score of 90 or above that I have come across are not surprised by Wang Yan's appearance.
I am 100% thinking: Who is this? Why are you looking at me like that?
Young Master Wang nodded to her, but Wang Haiou frowned slightly and turned his head as if he hadn't seen it.
Oops……
Regarding the matter itself, the young master said that it was understandable. In this situation, everyone must pay attention.
But I still felt a little bit unhappy.
Young people are all the same. Being able to control their emotions does not mean they have no emotions.
So instead of giving her the second female lead, replace her with someone else?
How can it be!
The first priority is if the film is good, and if the temperament and image fit the role, then she must be hired.
The most I can do is not tell her any drama...
After walking around like shopping, Wang Muye pulled Mr. Wang into Director Ning's circle.
Director Ning, Brother Bo, Brother Zheng, Bao Baobao, half of the Chinese comedy circle are together.
They are all good people, easy-going and unassuming, but when we chat, we don't have many common topics, and they can only be superficial.
Mr. Wang didn't force it, he just said: "If Makino's new film lacks investment, feel free to come to me. You can agree on the terms."
Let Brother Ning Haozheng give a thumbs up and call him generous.
To make good friends, the first priority is sincerity.
The most important thing that Mr. Wang lacked was money. He invested 18 million to repair the holes without blinking an eye.
What's the point of losing some money?
On the one hand, he encouraged Wang Muye, on the other hand, he sold favors to Brother Ning, Daozheng, and by the way, he had a relationship with the Han family, which was a profit no matter how he calculated it.
As for the script of the film, it doesn't matter.
Realistic themes, Mr. Wang doesn’t even bother to read them.
After chatting for a while, An Xiaofang finally found her time and took Wang Yan to "go to the pier".
A pure actor, Mr. Wang doesn't bother to know him, even a female star.
The main thing is to meet with directors, investors and theaters to promote Wang Ting Pictures.
Dapeng, who filmed the real Pancake Man, made Wang Yan feel very familiar - I have a little old girl who loves pancakes deeply...
Chen Zacheng made Wang Yan feel very unhappy. He was too crazy.
After chatting for a few words, he said from a high position: "Xiao Wang, it's a good thing for young people to have the courage to do anything. Come on, I think you can achieve something. I never make mistakes when I look at people. But being a director is not that easy. There are many things that happen on the set. If you have any troubles, just call me.”
Is it a bad word?
Not really.
It's that posture, Tenima Gao, the whole image of a successful senior, as if giving guidance to a child.
The sense of superiority was overwhelming. Wang Yan really couldn't get used to it.
An Xiaofang turned around to comfort the young man: "Don't be like that person. He has always been like that, a narcissist, a big mouth, and dares to spit out anything."
Wang Yan had heard a little bit about this person.
In an interview last year, Zha Cheng said with extreme honesty: "Sometimes I doubt that polygamy is the right thing to do. Most successful people are motivated by women in the beginning. They hope to have many women, beautiful women. This It’s desire, it’s the most natural thing, and we shouldn’t avoid it.”
Talking about why he wanted to be a director, the divine saying came out again: "I am too rich. Just being an actor cannot carry my richness."
He used a cigarette butt to burn a scar on his wife and said proudly, "The cigarette scar is still there to this day!"
What can Wang Yan do if he encounters such a person?
Just bear with it for now!
There is really no way to criticize people in today's situation, and the young master doesn't have any achievements that can cause pain - the circle is different, and there is no point in talking about money.
Don't give me a chance, or I'll give you a piece...
Ahem, Brother Crab, put down the pliers, I'm just trying to liven up the atmosphere...
Remembering silently, Wang followed An Xiaofang to fight elsewhere.
The highlight is greeting the creative team of the old gangsters.
Director Guan wears simple clothes and doesn't talk much, but he is a very individual and stubborn director. In comparison, Director Ning is much smoother and more down-to-earth.
Therefore, Director Guan didn't pay much attention to Wang Yan when they met.
Guan Hu particularly looked down on the rich second generation coal bosses who played for favors with women, and felt that those people had no sincerity in making movies.
Wang Yan smiled and pulled it down and didn't press it up anymore, but he was somewhat impressed in his heart.
It is a blessing for the audience that filmmakers have enthusiasm and attitude towards movies, and it is also a blessing for the development of the country's cultural strength. Regardless of the strength, all exploration is beneficial to the nation.
As for individuals who can't get along with each other, then don't be friends and let each of them do their own thing!
Xiaogangpao's attitude is colder than Guan Hu's, his nostrils are turned upward, and he is a good person.
On the contrary, Huayi Wang Sanshi showed enough respect for An Xiaofang and was very curious about Wang Yan, but his attitude was too slippery and unpleasant.
Xiaoxianrou Fanfan... saw An Xiaofang and avoided it, like a plague.
An Xiaofang was so angry that she gritted her teeth.
Wang Yan's mentality has been maintained very well. It's normal for a new person to enter the circle and not be taken seriously.
This was also the case for several banquets in the entertainment industry that Wang Siming attended. It was not like what outsiders imagined, where actresses and big bosses in the entertainment industry would go on to fawn over each other.
The actress is actually hiding from the prince, and she cannot afford to lose her reputation.
The big bosses are more wary of Yida Pictures. They are never willing to bring Yida to play with good projects, and they only discuss business during the rush to schedule films.
The ones who are really good at currying favor with the prince are mainly traffic and third-tier actresses, who are really coaxing him as if he were his biological father.
Wang Yan doesn't have that much energy now. It has nothing to do with money. He just lacks a theater chain.
If one day I could eat up Yida's theater chain and ascend directly to the sky from where I was, I would be even more powerful than a crab.
It's a pity, I can only think about it for now.
The most important thing right now is to be a good producer and director and give Wangting Entertainment a way out.
After making a lot of money in one round, I was very angry, and the harvest was basically nothing.
If anything, it is that I have a better understanding of what is going on in the entertainment industry.
Here, everyone's ultimate goal is money, but money is not the most important thing.
Money is more like a by-product, a natural outcome.
How ridiculous is it that the most vain and flashy circle has no regard for money?
Yet it is true.
If the coal boss wants to spend 10 million on someone overnight, he can do it, but no matter how much money he spends, he will never gain the respect of the circle.
If you don’t show your achievements, resources, and talents, no one will treat you as nothing.
If you have talent, no matter how bad your character is or how ugly your appearance is, there will still be people who admire you - like Chen Zhacheng, like Xiaogangpao.
As a result, Mr. Wang found the motivation to fight again.
You don't take the gods or the handsome guys seriously, right?
Wait, I’m going to start doing art, I’m afraid you won’t be able to bear it!
I’ve decided to direct this film!
Originally, Wang Yan planned to let Wang Muye be named the first director, but Wang Muye had already signed a contract with Ninghao Company, so doing so would be like doing charity, giving away a big gift for nothing, and would not have the effect of promoting Wang Ting Pictures.
Now, Wang Yan thought about it.
The chief director will be the one himself, and Wang Muye will be the second director normally. But during the promotional road show, Wang Muye will be the leader, and Fu Yushi and Na Wu will accompany him.
I want to be a producer, director, and screenwriter, but I also don’t show my face. I just take the mysterious route. I love it!
The worst thing is spending money to suppress gossip.
The media today is so easy to deal with. As long as you have money and are willing to spend it, you can do anything.
Playing for money, who is afraid of whom?
Determined, Young Master Wang immediately relaxed. Looking at the big shots and beauties in the hall, he felt that they were nothing more than a bunch of puppets and dummies.
With this mentality, Wang Yan approached Zitao.
All four of my teammates who have returned to China are here today.
However, the four of them had basically no communication, and it was the so-called king's rule.
After shaking hands and exchanging a few words, before Mr. Wang could get to the point, Zitao spoke first: "Do you want your movie to be released in the summer season?"
Huh? interesting……
Wang Yan smiled easily and said, "I have this plan. Do you have any ideas about the release date?"
Zitao gritted his teeth inexplicably: "If you promise to release it in the summer, I will take it."
Wang Yan was stunned. It went so well?
An Xiaofang thought for a moment and came up with something.
He reminded Wang Yan in a low voice: "Tomb Raiders Notes is set for the summer release. The filming of Youth 2 has not been completed, but it is most likely to be released during the summer..."
so what?
"The leading actors in those two films are Xiaolu and Fanfan respectively..."
oh!
Two of Zitao's teammates, right? !
Wang Yan finally understood that the feeling was that Taotao in the room was stimulated for some reason and wanted to show off with his teammates?
"That's right!"
Zitao nodded calmly: "I just don't want others to compare me with them and say I'm not good. I want to prove that I'm not worse than anyone else! No matter what I do!"
Wow, this guy is really a rare straight person!
Wang Yan didn't understand Zitao before, but now he appreciates it.
Straightforward people tend to be a little stunned, but no matter how bad they are, they won't be too bad, and it shouldn't be troublesome to bring them up.
After thinking about it, the eldest young master started to take Qiao instead.
"As long as you put your energy into the movie and everyone works together, I think the filming schedule should be enough to compete for the summer slot. The quality of the film is the job of our director team, but whether the character is good or not, you can control it in your own hands."
These words moved Zitao's heart more than any flattery, and he immediately reached out to Wang Yan.
"It's a deal! I'm a professional in making movies!"
Funny, where do you get your confidence?
Young Master Wang didn't know whether to laugh or cry, but he liked the energy shown by the other party.
It has flow, is cheap, and can hold your breath, so it should be very useful.
When discussing prices and schedules, Wang Yan did not participate.
The final price was 5 million per month, which was lower than the normal price but very sincere.
The project team was sincere. Zhang Jin, the nominal male lead, was only paid 2 million, which was more than double the amount.
The film industry is so cruel. Without box office appeal, everything is in vain.
How about winning Best Supporting Actor for "The Grandmaster"?
The box office is not high to begin with, and that box office is also the result of director Sunglasses King, starring Dian Yanliang and Best Actress Zhang.
If An Xiaofang hadn't had a very good relationship with Zhang Jin's lover Cai Shaofen, Zhang Jin wouldn't have had this opportunity and would have had to attend an audition and compete with others.
The main roles of one female, three male and two male characters have been decided, and the remaining roles can be auditioned normally.
The date is scheduled for December 28th, in time for the year before.
Two girls, four girls and a bunch of supporting characters, it's very simple.
As the second female lead, Producer Wang is actually very interested in Wang Haiou, but since he is not familiar with it, he has to go through the process.
The three main targets plus actresses from major companies will be given to whoever performs the best.
After setting a date and sending out audition invitations, An Xiaofang and the young master made a joke.
"After the audition and before the contract is issued, if you are willing, young master, you can be the groom every night without any trouble. What do you think, do you want to give it a try?"
"I'm not that kind of person."
The young master behaved very calmly, coldly and calmly, which surprised An Xiaofang.
However, Wang Yan originally planned to tell her: I won't go to the interview, you can handle it.
As a result, he quietly changed his mind and did not speak.
Well, I was just curious, just taking a look and doing nothing...
real!
The scary thing is that An Xiaofang believed it.
What's even more frightening is that Wang Yan himself doesn't believe it...
In this world, rich people are always in a dilemma!
Fortunately, before that, there is still a Christmas party waiting for Diwu, which can help producer Wang feel at ease.
Can it be done?
Can it be done...? !
I wish you all a Happy New Year!
During the Chinese New Year, my father was still in the hospital, and his mood was hard to describe.
Therefore, everyone should celebrate the New Year in good health and maintain happiness and family affection.
My own health is also very bad. After the new year, I may stop taking antidepressant medicine and focus on rest. I would like to say hello to everyone in advance, but I will try my best to keep updating.
