Chapter 392, Celebration Banquet, the Development of the Internet
"The Besieged City in October" is the next movie that Chen Kexin wants to shoot, and he has even been preparing for this movie for almost ten years.
He had already been preparing for this film in the late 1990s.
It was only because of the huge investment and the incompatibility of the subject matter that the plan was shelved. It was not until the investment of "The Warlords" and the trial work achieved certain commercial success that Chen Kexin brought out the plan of "The Siege of the City in October" to talk about it. The main theme is commercial. After all, this pie is too big.
Generally speaking, it is difficult for a movie to achieve all three: box office success, word of mouth, and awards.
Almost all of them can be regarded as the pinnacle works in film history.
Therefore, the industry is generally divided into literary and artistic works for awards and commercial works for box office. The division is very clear. There are also various purposes for investing in and producing films. Some people's purpose is to make money at the box office, which is also the purpose of most people.
Some are to promote certain actors and let them win awards, which is also a common purpose, often seen by various sponsors. Some are for publicity, in Jiang Wen's words, just for a plate of vinegar dumplings, often seen in mainstream works and advertisements. In short, there are all kinds of reasons to make a movie.
The main theme and commercial orientation that Chen Kexin advocated was indeed a bit too ambitious, making it difficult for investors to believe that this was a reliable plan.
Coupled with the huge amount of investment it requires, it is daunting.
But Chen Kexin is no longer the same person as before.
Now we have achieved some success in the industry.
This time the pledge of allegiance was not considered a failure.
It's just not as good as I imagined.
But it was enough to support him to carry out such a project, the October Siege project.
This is a project that Chen Kexin has been dreaming about for ten years and she also wants to complete it.
When Li Yun saw the script, the pathway of personality had gradually begun to form in his mind.
The personality that has been hidden for a long time is called loyal minister.
A loyal minister.
The October Siege.
Li Yun has already given his preliminary consent.
This is actually a very interesting work.
It is Hong Kong's first work that combines mainstream themes with commercial elements.
For Li Yun, the greater significance of this work is to set an example for the great cause of founding a country and a party.
According to Mr. Lu Zhengguang, it is time to change the strategy of mainstream works. We should not only pursue awards, but also pursue greater breadth. The propaganda of mainstream works will be effective only if the people like it, right? According to Chen Kexin, this work is not only invested by Huada Film and Television, but also has some official resources involved.
It can be regarded as a collaboration between the Hong Kong circle and the CCTV circle.
This plan can be implemented.
The loyal minister that is buzzing in my mind.
A man who talks so much about benevolence, righteousness and loyalty must be very suitable to be a decent character. After all, his loyalty to the emperor is truly evident to all.
The sun and the moon are bright, and the heaven can bear witness.
Really good.
"Why do I feel like you didn't congratulate me like you used to? I'm a little uncomfortable with that."
The person communicating with Li Yun was Liu Qianqian, of course on the phone.
Greeting the cool breeze.
The sobering wind is blowing beside the railing of the restaurant's windowsill.
Before we knew it, we can use QQ on our mobile phones. Although the data charges are still quite expensive, the trend of the times is still moving forward steadily.
"Aren't you preparing to act in the drama "New Three Kingdoms"? I've been so busy lately, dancing and practicing martial arts, which fill up my time (seek comfort)"
"Touch it."
During this period, Liu Xixi's life was quite fulfilling. While she was looking for the feeling of the role, she did not lower her posture and movement standards.
She is still working hard and still struggling.
The goals are real.
She is also moving towards her goal.
My own path as an actor and my goal to strive for.
At this moment, Li Yun suddenly felt his heart beating faster, a feeling he had never experienced before.
Young and beautiful women, no matter what kind of relationship they had with me,
There will never be a heart-pounding feeling like there is now.
That kind of charm does not come from her appearance, figure and temperament, nor does it come from her noble family background. It is simply the charm that emanates from her.
Irresistible charm.
"Our "New Three Kingdoms" will start filming soon, right? When the time comes, Brother Li, can we do some pre-rehearsal first?!"
"I want everyone to see that I can play this role to an extremely high level! I can do it!"
Confident and beautiful.
And willing to fight for it.
Of course Li Yun agreed.
To find the feeling of being integrated into the role At this time, at the banquet, the wine was flowing.
In addition to discussing the movie with Chen Kexin, Li Yun also returned to the table as an actor.
Lynn Hung and Simon Yam are both here.
There wasn't much discussion about them, after all, the main selling point of Ip Man was still the martial arts and Chinese arts, so there was indeed less discussion about the literary drama group.
But it doesn’t mean there isn’t one.
Among them, the most discussed topic is Lynn Hung’s amazing figure.
With her 1.75 meter height, beautiful face, and her performance in the play, she fully expressed the feeling of love.
Her relationship with Wing Chun master Ip Man is also a highlight in Ip Man's movies.
This was also the important bargaining chip that Ip Man faced when he made his final decision.
On one side is the dignity of martial arts and the righteousness of the country and family, and on the other side is one's own family.
It's his wife and children.
Big love and small love, they have the same weight.
Ip Man in the movie chose to sacrifice himself to achieve great love.
The feelings between them are deep and it is a pity that they were sacrificed.
At this time, Simon Yam looked at Lynn Hung and immediately figured out what she was thinking about while drinking alone.
"Can't get out?"
“A little bit.”
Xiong Dailin looked at Li Yun with blurry eyes.
"I had this problem when I was young. It's something an actor has to go through. No actor can escape it, no matter how good they are."
At this time, Ren Huada said lightly.
There was calmness in his words.
This kind of thing is hard to explain.
This feeling.
But he had to admit it.
Li Yun's ability to bring people into a play is truly amazing.
Not to mention Lynn Hung herself, even Simon Yam has quite a few remnants in it.
The feeling towards Li Yun is not like the feeling of a senior towards a junior.
Just like brothers.
Just like Zhou Qingquan to Ip Man.
I can't tell the difference.
So maybe I don't have any qualifications to educate Lynn Hung, after all, I am also trapped in it now.
But a little addicted.
The feeling of filming is unique and good.
Better than ever.
But even though Renhuada said this.
Xiong Dailin still couldn't get rid of it.
There's no way to get out of that feeling.
Zhang Yongzhi's love for Ip Man still remains in her heart.
This made Xiong Dailin wonder if this also represented part of her own feelings. The seeds of this thought grew wildly in her mind like bamboo shoots after rain.
Influence her decision.
"Congratulations, Master Ye."
At this time, Lynn Hung raised her wine glass, her eyes were blurred and she smiled slightly, which made all the men around her stare with their eyes wide open at such a beautiful beauty with a good figure.
Very beautiful.
It's hard to take your eyes away.
If you look at both her figure and looks, there are probably not many people in the entire entertainment industry who can match her.
Her height and appearance combined are so impressive.
With such advantages, she is the goddess in the hearts of countless people.
At this time, she was infatuated with a man.
It’s kind of funny that she doesn’t even know if this man is real.
Can't tell the difference between fiction and reality.
"We have been very successful this time, Ms. Xiong." Li Yun also smiled slightly.
Ms. Xiong? At this moment, Xiong Dailin was a little dazed.
In a trance, there are many things that can be distinguished and cannot be distinguished.
After the banquet, Lynn Hung finally found Li Yun.
Under the silent night sky, Lynn Hung lit a cigarette, and her face flickered in the night light.
"Mr. Li Yun, is it convenient now?"
At this time, Li Yun was chatting with his own personality, and it seemed like he was talking to himself. When Xiong Dailin came, the director did not stop his teasing.
He found this kind of teasing very interesting.
"Of course it's convenient. What can I do for you, Ms. Xiong?"
"What's wrong? Can't I even chat with you?"
"Of course, and you are welcome at any time. But I think if you are more concerned about your career, you should be in there now. There are all the resources of the Hong Kong entertainment industry there." Li Yun also smiled slightly at this time.
Resources from the Hong Kong entertainment industry.
Xiong Dailin thought about it.
If it were my old self, I would probably toast with them in there.
But now, I sometimes miss the hard times I went through with Ip Man.
A hero in other people's hearts.
The real man in my heart.
A man of integrity.
There is no mistake in the poem, post, content, and read the book on 6, 9, and bar!
That's how it should be.
However, at this moment, Xiong Dailin was thinking about something else.
"Li Yun, can you accompany me for a walk in three days? You don't come to Hong Kong very often, I heard you're always filming in Beijing."
"Three days later? I have something to do, so I'm afraid I can't accompany you."
"What about tonight?"
At this moment, Li Yun thought for a moment, and Liu Qianqian's face flashed through his mind, and then he smiled slightly.
Forget it.
Xiong Dailin looked at Li Yun's smile and also smiled.
He was very familiar with this smile. It was the same smile he had when he thought of Li Yun.
He was very familiar with that feeling. "Okay, I understand, Mr. Li. It's a pleasure to work with you this time. As a guide in my acting career, I am very grateful to you for letting me see what filming and acting are."
"Thank you."
"Okay, I have to think about my future. I have to go drink and chat with my friends in the Hong Kong entertainment industry."
As she walked in, she looked back every few steps, looking at Li Yun's appearance and the smile that appeared on his face involuntarily.
That genuine smile.
They really look like Ip Man and Cheung Wing-chi.
"Mr. Li, you have a really nice smile. No wonder my niece asked me to come all the way here to get your autograph."
At this time, Li Yun saw someone talking to him on the other side.
A man with glasses who looks a bit sturdy.
Li Yun also noticed him just now.
In fact, at the beginning, Li Yun even felt that he looked a little familiar, but he couldn't put his finger on it.
The table he sat at did not belong to the production and distribution director.
It was the table about issuing distribution channels, the table where Ye Weixin talked at the celebration banquet.
This Ip Man is wholly invested by the company behind Wilson Yip, and will also determine the rebroadcast channel for the next Ip Man film.
He might go on a local TV show.
Maybe it will appear on the video site.
This is a new concept that has quietly emerged in recent years, Youku and Tudou.
Nowadays, video websites are booming.
It occupies a large share of the movie broadcasting market.
They are quite arrogant. After all, as two of the best video media channel websites on the Internet, they have something to be proud of.
The capital that can passively inquire about prices is only from senior executives.
The man in front of him is the owner of a video website.
A video website that is not very well-known nowadays. Even in the eyes of most people, this website is a bit inferior.
Didn’t you see that Ye Weixin didn’t pay much attention to this guy, so he was able to come here and brag and chat with Li Yun outside.
"Nice to meet you, my name is Chen Rui."
The honest-looking man in front of him smiled.
His name is Chen Rui and he is the owner of a website called Bilibili.
A community for fans of the second dimension.
It's a very niche community that has nothing to do with movies.
In other words, it doesn't have much influence outside of the second dimension.
A community that is too young, a portal that is too young.
Only then did Li Yun feel as if he suddenly understood something.
No wonder I always feel that the person in front of me looks so familiar.
It turned out to be Uncle Chen from Bilibili.
However, at that moment, he did not seem to have become rich and enjoy the personal freedom of supporting college students.
On the contrary, Bilibili is now just a small video website. Compared with the two giants Youku and Tudou, it is pitifully small and niche.
"Your B site is pretty good."
"You actually know our video website!" Chen Rui was a little surprised. His website was only famous in a small circle.
And this range obviously does not include Li Yun and other current players.
"Of course I know. Your website is very famous."
“Even if it’s not famous, at most it’s liked by some young people.” Chen Rui was also a little excited at this time. Li Yun had heard of Bilibili, so it was an unexpected surprise.
Looking back, Li Yun also had a period of time when he visited Bilibili.
I can still chat with Chen Rui.
Then they left each other their QQ numbers and cell phone numbers.
Just think of it as making a friend. Especially for Chen Rui, being able to find someone who understands the second dimension in the entertainment industry is more precious than a giant panda.
After everything is taken care of, and there is a bonus from the box office.
Li Yun was also preparing to return to Beijing from Hong Kong.
I have been thinking about a lot of things in my mind, including what will happen next in "The New Three Kingdoms" and what will happen next in "The New Three Kingdoms".
When I was about to work with Liu Qianqian.
Thinking of this, Li Yun couldn't help but feel the corners of his mouth rise.
I always feel it's kind of cute.
In fact, on the other side, Liu Qianqian was also nervous.
"Mom, what do you think looks best on me?"
Liu Lili frowned, wondering what was wrong with her daughter.
"You look good in anything because of my genes. Be more confident. Why are you dating a man?"
You can’t say that Liu Xixi didn’t care about her appearance in the past, but at least she wasn’t as exquisite as she is today, wearing jewelry and a beautiful dress.
Liu Lili's intuition told her that she had a date with a man.
And it is very likely that it was the man who made her very unhappy.
A man who made her unhappy, but seemed helpless.
"Please don't use such vulgar words when dating a man. I have to prepare for my next role."
Liu Qianqian nodded as if it was a matter of course.
Then Liu Lili stopped talking.
In "The New Three Kingdoms", Liu Qianqian plays the most beautiful woman in the Three Kingdoms.
The first evil lord of the Three Kingdoms and the first powerful general of the Three Kingdoms were connected because of the cause and effect of Diao Chan.
If it is this role, it will be of great help to Liu Qianqian's future career.
Because she was the most beautiful woman in the Three Kingdoms.
She embodies the concept of beauty.
The embodiment of beauty.
If the performance is effective, then we will have this label and certification, which will be of great benefit to future development.
"It's OK. If you really are going to a script reading, you don't have to dress so fancy." Liu Lili said, "True love doesn't just come from appearance and body. If you dress fancy, it will ruin that feeling."
"Is that so?"
"Yes, love at first sight comes from the body and the skin, but the feeling of love will not appear just because of this superficial thing." Liu Lili became more and more excited as she spoke.
Then Liu Qianqian couldn't help but say.
"Mom, you're actually quite unconvincing."
At this moment, Liu Lili's face turned dark. Was her daughter implying that she was divorced?
"Okay, okay, then I won't wear this either. What you said makes sense." Liu Qianqian thought that it would be awkward for her to go shopping in a flashy outfit.
Then he quickly changed into his usual clothes, jeans and a T-shirt, which he most often wore when he went to Brother Li's house to watch TV.
The plastic bag he was carrying was filled with Kobe potato chips.
This is much more natural.
"By the way, who plays Lu Bu opposite you?"
"Mom, you don't know this?"
"I've been quite busy lately. There are more and more things going on in Hollywood. Many Chinese stars want to develop in Hollywood, and I'm almost overwhelmed with all the contacts here."
At this time, Liu Lili said: "I don't have the energy to care about any domestic projects."
"Oh, okay."
"Why don't you tell me that the opportunity you discarded is treasured by others."
"Then maybe they are wrong? Who says the majority's ideas are necessarily right?"
"you"
Liu Lili was stunned. How did her daughter learn such a sharp tongue? (End of this chapter)
