Chapter 305
Features of foreign blockbuster film names (x)
On the first day of the Lunar New Year, Ling Sui got up from his hotel bed.
She had originally bought tickets to the county cinema, planning to go watch a comedy starring Zhu Yue and Han Cheng with her parents, but after Hao Jian's live broadcast, too many people knew she was there.
Even if she wore a hat and a mask, she would probably be recognized, and such an outfit would be more conspicuous in the county town.
Ling Suisui was still regretting the cancellation of the family travel plan yesterday, but unexpectedly Ling Fei said: "It's just that you can't go, but Hao Ren and I can still go."
Hao Ren agreed: "Come to think of it, Feifei and I haven't had a date for a long time. You can stay in the hotel and wait for us to come back."
Ling Suisui: ...
How to say it, thinking back on this incident now, she is still a little speechless.
She, Ling Sui, a glamorous and beautiful superstar, somehow felt disliked at home.
Ling Suisui turned on his phone, scrolled through a series of New Year greeting messages, and found the group chat of the main actors of "Freedom House".
They had made an appointment to watch a movie together, which actually meant arriving at a similar time and sharing their thoughts after watching the movie, which in other words meant watching the movie together.
Because Ling Suisui had already refunded her ticket, she said in the group that she would not read the group messages for the time being, so as to avoid forming a preconceived impression of the movie because of their reviews.
Chen Lin joked in the group: [Teacher Ling is worthy of being a judge, his attitude towards appreciating works is quite rigorous. 】
The judges mentioned here are of course referring to the Rising Star Award.
Although the first award ceremony for this award has not yet been held, it has received a lot of attention since the day it was officially announced. Many people are discussing whether it can become one of the benchmarks for domestic entertainment awards, or whether it will become a water award for the organizers to please themselves?
Judging from the lineup of judges for the first session, the Rising Star Award’s ambition and self-positioning should be the former.
Ling Sui hummed a few words and replied with an emoticon in the group.
Because the actors in this group are all older than Ling Sui and are not within the selection range of the Rising Star Award, they can speak freely about the award without any scruples. Even before the nomination list was released, some people were already placing their bets.
She took a quick look at the names they mentioned and found that the overlap rate was very, very low, and she needed to search for each name that came out.
If they ask further, they will find that the names mentioned are all young actors they have known before, and basically they have not watched any TV series or movies that made them think that they are outstanding.
...This is a bit embarrassing. Ling Sui suddenly started to worry about the first nomination list for new stars.
Someone jokingly asked her if she had any "inside information". Ling Sui said that the nomination list would be announced a week before the awards ceremony. She really hadn't seen it yet and didn't even know if it had been selected.
As for the fact that she would be flying to a mysterious location in a few days and being locked up in a "small black room for awards", she didn't tell them yet.
On the eighth day of the Lunar New Year, Ling Sui’s sui-year vacation ended.
After resuming work, her schedule is still quite busy. Three days will be reserved for the selection of the Rising Star Award, and then she will go to Berlin with the main creative members of "Sisters Who Can't Get Married".
According to feedback from Tong Xiaoman, she may not be able to attend the closing ceremony of the Berlin Film Festival. Dilande was in a hurry. She had to meet with the director, screenwriter, producer and others, try on the costumes for the role, reserve enough time to adjust the makeup, and also train the relevant actions in advance according to the script requirements...
You know, Diland attaches great importance to this new project, and the estimated production cost is as high as 200 million US dollars. If nothing unexpected happens, Ling Sui will spend most of his time this year on this new movie.
After picking up Ling Suisui at the airport, the assistant asked her whether her family would be reluctant to part with her as she would be away from home for a long time again.
Ling Suisui chuckled: "I resumed work on the eighth day of the Lunar New Year, and they flew to various parts of the world to discuss business on the third day of the Lunar New Year."
Reluctant? That doesn't exist. No one can influence the speed at which a family builds their business.
On the way to the hotel, Ling Suisui sent her organized inspiration to Feng Yang, meaning that she would follow up on the follow-up matters.
Feng Yang called her via video: "Do you want to play a single mother?"
"Hmm... this word doesn't seem quite accurate."
Ling Sui-sui explained in detail: "Single mothers are often known to the public as divorced, but what I want to shoot is single birth. That is, there is only a biological sperm provider, but from pregnancy and childbirth to the child's growth, there is no 'father' character."
"The most important thing is that this is not a passive single parent restricted by any objective conditions, but an active choice."
Well, Feng Yang probably understood what she meant.
In fact, what she said was very general. However, if one reaches Ling Suisui's level, not only can one freely choose the best scripts in the domestic entertainment industry, but one can also customize scripts according to one's own wishes. Whatever role she wants to play, someone will write it for her, giving her true "role freedom".
Ling Suisui had a flash of inspiration, and Feng Yang thought of more than a dozen directions for the script outline. She hung up the video call and recorded it first.
The first person Feng Yang found was Tang Bao. Although Tang Bao was very interested in this idea, she had several other projects on hand that she really wanted to start, and her desire to create for this "adopted son" was indeed not as strong as her desire to create for her "biological child".
"Director Feng, let's focus on this at the regular screenwriters' meeting. Let everyone get involved and have a brainstorming session."
Tang Bao rubbed his hands excitedly: "Last year, the company signed a lot of new screenwriters. Sister Sui has been paying them for so long, and it's time to see their growth and progress."
Tang Bao was thinking about which screenwriter or screenwriters could take on this task. On the way to the hotel's business car, Ling Suisui was checking the real-time box office of the Spring Festival on his mobile phone.
The end of the holiday means that the main battlefield of the Spring Festival period has come to an end. Although the box office will increase in the future, the competition will be far less intense than in the previous few days.
There are six main actors in "Freedom House", and only Bian Yuanzhou, Zhu Yue and Han Cheng continue to follow the comedy path. Bian Yuanzhou debuted the earliest and has the most experience. The roles he played later in the film were very popular, but his own popularity is a little lower.
This time, by scheduling their comedy to be released during the Spring Festival, the company behind it is taking a huge risk. The entrance and publicity costs for the Spring Festival period start in the billions, and every second that the movie is released is burning money. But there is no way. If you don’t spend money on marketing, it will be a waste of time. The popularity of tap water cannot compare to the ability of money.
Fortunately, the performance of the two leading actors did not disappoint the investors.
Ling Suisui also breathed a sigh of relief when he saw the third place box office result. As for the annual champion, it is still a matter of luck. It is already good enough to be in the first tier of the Spring Festival period and become one of the ones that absorbs the whole market.
Calculate the dividend ratio of Harvest Media - the current box office can already cover the costs, and the investment in marketing and promotion will be greatly reduced. The subsequent growth should be pure profit, which is great.
"The Spring Festival season is really exciting." Ling Suisui said with emotion, "We only invested a little bit, and we were all terrified. It reminded me of Zhao Jiang."
The more she delved into this industry, the more she felt that both Tang Bing and herself were very brave back then.
Of course, so do investors.
Zhang Wen asked her: "Do you want to make a movie during the Spring Festival? There are always such projects looking for you."
"No, I don't have time for other commercial films before I finish filming Dylan's new superhero series."
This refers specifically to commercial films, not all works. Ling Suisui felt that she still had to leave some space for herself to express herself freely.
Zhang Wen nodded. She was not too surprised by this answer. In the realm of commercial films, it's hard to find a better choice than Hollywood blockbusters.
It’s just that… She looked at the title of the new movie in the schedule and still felt it was a bit strange.
"Master Dongfang?"
This is both the title of the movie and the code name of the protagonist. Reading it again, it still seems a bit weird.
Ling Suisui: "... That's how foreign blockbusters are named. Think about Captain America, isn't it similar?"
Well...if you put it that way...
Zhang Wen read it a few more times and found that it was actually quite smooth. Moreover, the character played by Ling Suisui is indeed the eldest sister from a hidden sect in the East. Except for not practicing Taoism, she possesses many supernatural abilities in the world of cultivation.
Actually, at the beginning, Diland wanted Ling Suisui to play the magician in the heroine project, but after watching "Yaotailu", they decisively adjusted the shooting plan and made the eldest sister the first protagonist of the entire series.
——Although "Records of Yaotai" only received a mainstream award nomination for Ling Sui in China, it is actually very popular abroad, and its word-of-mouth rating has been ranked first among Chinese-language works in the past ten years, even surpassing "The Game Is Online" which was a huge hit overseas.
In order to play this role well, Diland was very sincere. Ling Suisui had met the crew's art consultant several times and was sure that the other party really understood Chinese culture and would not come up with anything inexplicable.
During the conversation, the business car had arrived at the destination.
The confidentiality of this trip was kept watertight, and Ling Suisui was able to enter the elevator smoothly. She rested in the room for a while. She thought that some staff would come to collect her communication equipment, but they didn't do that. They just sent her the nomination list and copied the film and television materials to the TV.
ah? So there is no communication with the outside world during the award judging period, and it all depends on the judges' conscience?
Given Director Pei’s work style, it wouldn’t be like this for the first session.
It was not until Ling Sui picked up her phone that she realized that the signal in the room was blocked and she could not connect to the wifi.
So that's it, she was wrong just now.
Ling Suisui's confidence in the Rising Star Award was restored a little, and then she looked at the nomination list that had not yet been announced to the public, which had photos of the candidates on it.
Wait, is this... a meeting for child stars?
The author has something to say:
*The original English name of "Eastern Master" should have been included in the text, but the author's English is limited and he couldn't think of an original name, so he simply didn't write it QAQ
