Chapter 193 Actor Controversy

The next day after returning home, Xu Rui got a reply, but what made him speechless was that the people who came were from the investment management department of the group. No matter how much they invested, they couldn't get any less dividends.

Seeing that the other party only invested and distributed money and did not interfere in the creation or shooting of the film, Xu Rui stopped badmouthing his father behind his back.

However, after the details were discussed, Xu Rui was not in a hurry to sign. Instead, he discussed with Yan Ran: "This is already the third film, and we can no longer hang the studio brand."

"Isn't the studio good?" Yan Ran asked.

Xu Rui reminded: "Don't you have any ambitions, such as creating an Eastern Hollywood or something?"

"Oriental Hollywood? I had this kind of ambition in my dream." Yan Ran laughed. Seeing Xu Rui reaching out to flick her forehead, she quickly leaned back and became a little more serious, "My ambition has always been to make a movie even if it is too good. After hundreds of years, it will still be regarded as a classic film. As for expanding its commercial territory, I have never thought about it. "

Xu Rui said bewilderedly: "But have you ever thought that if we can produce results, we will discover more outstanding filmmakers, drive the development of the domestic film industry, and allow more children who have the same dreams as you to realize their dreams?" "

Yan Ran was amused: "It's too far-fetched for you to try so hard on the children."

Xu Rui said plausibly: "But when I watch movies, it's usually very effective to pull out children. How about it? Does it work?"

"No!"

"So heartless."

"Don't come here!" Yan Ran glanced at Xu Rui and thought for a while, "I really haven't thought about things that far away, but after listening to your description, I suddenly became a little interested. If you want to give it a try, , of course I am willing to accompany you."

"I knew you were willing." Xu Rui scratched her nose.

Yan Ran immediately reached out and pinched his face. The two of them were playing around on the sofa and accidentally rolled to the floor.

Three days later, Yan Ran, as a legal person, quietly registered Hongmeng Pictures. After obtaining the company license, she signed the capital injection agreement for "Fist of Heroes".

The money was in place and all the preparatory work was carried out smoothly. Yu Yisheng did not expect that Yan Ran would start working on it again just after the filming of a movie. They cooperated one after another. He knew Yan Ran's enthusiasm for the film industry very well. After learning that she and After Xu Rui registered the company and invited him, he thought about it and joined Hongmeng Pictures.

Another piece of good news came during this time: "People on the Road" successfully passed the review.

The crew of "Fist of Heroes" was assisted by Yu Yisheng in preparing the film. Yan Ran went to work on the release of "The Journey". She had also contacted theaters before, but after trying it, she found that it was too difficult to distribute by herself at this stage, so she decided to I contacted a distribution company and they negotiated with the theaters.

Because "The Night the Comet Came" won an award at the Reddance Film Festival, theaters did not take this low-budget film too seriously. After internal previews and discussions, they all accepted the film.

But after further negotiations, Xu Rui's side couldn't take advantage of it. It was divided into 60% and 40%, with the theater chain taking 60% and the remaining 40%. Not only did he have to give dividends to his biological father, but he also had to pay agency fees to the publisher. In the end, what was left How much, he is not optimistic.

Yan Ran was not as pessimistic as he was. She was very happy to receive the news: "The schedule has been arranged, and I can squeeze it into the National Day period!"

Xu Rui reminded her: "The film schedule must be low, maybe they will all be arranged for you in the midnight show."

Yan Ran didn't mind at all: "Gold will always shine, not to mention it is easier to see at midnight."

Xu Rui complained: "It's a pity if you don't become an educator. This level of chicken soup is so good!"

Yan Ran grabbed Xu Rui's neck with both hands and shook it: "Are you mocking me?"

…

As the National Day approaches, the trailer for "Unfortunate Journey" was released, and the two leading actors also took advantage of the publicity opportunity to appear in front of the public.

Previously, Wen Zhaodong played the male N number in "Dang Jiuzhou". He was only discovered by a small group of viewers and did not create much of a wave. Even his fans at the time felt that he had no chance of becoming famous and could appear in various TV series in the future. It would be nice to play a supporting role.

Some people even expressed their dissatisfaction with the casting of him as the male lead in "The Lost Man". After all, there were widespread rumors that he was kept by a rich woman and later fell out. In the eyes of many people, he did not clarify but disappeared, which is acquiescence. In this matter, Yan Ran hired a tainted artist to play the male lead, which had a bad impact on the movie!

As for the other protagonist, Weng Zehua, no one knew who he was. I thought he was from the film school like "The Night the Comet Came". Unexpectedly, when I asked about it, I found out that he was a walk-on.

Now the controversy on the Internet has become huge.

"First of all, let me make it clear that I am not looking down on Weng Zehua. You said that he was a small actor in a TV series, and suddenly he was the second male lead in a movie. Can he handle it? If he really had this ability, he would have been picked up by other directors long ago."

"It's useless for you to declare. You just look down on it. But what you said makes sense. There is also Wen Zhaodong. His previous "Confused Detective" was good, but he hasn't acted in many years, and there are still stains. I really don't know Yan Ran. What do you think?"

"Didn't you see the trailer? I think it's pretty good."

"Can the trailer be taken seriously?"

"No matter how poor you are, you won't hire these two people. Is there some kind of personal relationship? It stands to reason that Yan Ran's last movie did well, so someone should be rushing to invest."

"As the online marketing accounts say, Yan Ran is very aloof and controlling in private. If she doesn't have full control over a movie, she would rather not make it, which would cost a lot of investors away."

"Let's discuss, don't talk nonsense!"

"I'm not talking nonsense, it's the marketing account that said it, it's up to you whether you believe it or not!"

After filming a play, Wen Zhaodong and Weng Zehua, two frustrated people, did not have any open or secret struggles at all, and they easily became good friends.

After the filming was completed, no one asked them to work for the time being, and the two of them got together from time to time. They undoubtedly attached great importance to the promotion period of this movie, but they didn't expect that they would start off badly. They had just started the promotion and caused great controversy.

Faced with the public opinion on the Internet, the two could only smile bitterly. With their current influence, their voices would be drowned out in an instant, so they could only endure and wait for opportunities.

"Why is it so unlucky?"

"Who said it wasn't?"

The two were drinking wine when their phones on the table vibrated at the same time. They picked them up and saw that it was from Yan Ran: "Don't pay attention to the comments on the Internet. I have arranged an interview for you the day after tomorrow. The following are the questions that may be asked at that time. Think about how to answer them."

After one message, another message came: "Don't be nervous. You acted very well. No matter what the box office is, I don't regret inviting you to be the leading actors!"

Wen Zhaodong and Weng Zehua looked at each other. Sure enough, the people who are willing to help you in times of trouble are the most touching.
