The producers of the movie "Sometimes to Dance" struck while the iron was hot and took advantage of the popularity of the Berlin Film Festival and the popularity of the film's awards to arrange for the film to be released in Hong Kong on February 24.
Yuan Qiaoqiao arrived in Xiangjiang on the evening of the 23rd to promote the film¡¯s premiere the next day.
I have to say that the green card is very useful. Before she came to Xiangjiang, she had a work permit from the mainland. When crossing the border, she had to be interrogated for a long time several times. This time she showed her green card and never encountered her again. Being asked various questions.
As a literary and artistic film, neither the director nor the starring actor can handle the box office, and the film market in Hong Kong is becoming increasingly sluggish. Therefore, even if there is popularity at the film festival and the film wins an award in Berlin, The film studio still decided to attract attention by hyping up the quarrel between the two leading actors, Li Jiaxin and Yuan Qiaoqiao, in order to deepen and expand the film's impression among the public.
After hearing the intention of the film company conveyed by Sister Kuan, Yuan Qiaoqiao couldn't help but frowned and asked: "If the film can be shortlisted for the main competition unit, it means that it will be bought by film producers from other places. After winning the award, the price will suddenly increase." I turned it over several times.
With the income from selling the film in Berlin alone, the film studio has already recouped its costs and made a profit.
After it was released in Xiangjiang, no matter how big the box office was, it was still profitable. Is there any need to make a fuss about my relationship with Li Jiaxin? "
Sister Kuan replied decisively: "Of course it is necessary.
Since there are ways to make more money, who would want less?
"Besides, this method does not violate discipline, and you and Li Jiaxin were originally at odds, and the film crew did not make anything up. It was based entirely on facts. Is there anything wrong? "
Seeing that Yuan Qiaoqiao seemed to have something to say, she jumped in front of her and said: "Although Director Guan is a well-known director in the industry, most of the films he makes are literary and artistic films, and as we all know, the box office of literary and artistic films is not high. Few of them can make back their money simply by relying on box office; and although he has many famous works, it is an undoubted fact that the box office of his films is generally average.
As for the actors, although two Japanese actors were used in the film, they were used because the funds came from Japan. They are supporting roles. They are not well-known in Hong Kong, and they have not come to Hong Kong to participate in promotions. There is no way to use them as a topic. .
As veteran artists, Jin Yanling and Liu Jiahui are familiar to the public, but neither the media nor the public are actually interested in them. Moreover, they are supporting roles, so the focus of publicity cannot be on them.
The remaining three leading roles are Li Jiaxin, you and Zhang Zhilin. "
The male protagonist Zhang Zhilin is a celebrity, and he debuted as a singer. Although he has started to get involved in film and television, he has not yet had a role that is deeply rooted in the hearts of the people. Therefore, the public's perception of him is still a famous singer; not to mention that he has already announced to the public Even if he doesn't have a girlfriend, it's impossible for Li Jiaxin or you to have an affair with him.
Li Jiaxin is the most famous among you, but the source of her fame is not her works, but her beauty and deep scandals with many wealthy people. However, the public has long known that these are nothing new and the topic is not enough.
As for you, you don¡¯t have a name in the industry yet, and given your age, many topics are not suitable for speculation.
There are no explosive points in the plot of the film. Therefore, apart from hyping up the feud between you and Li Jiaxin, the film crew really doesn¡¯t know what to use as a promotional point. "
After listening to Sister Kuan¡¯s explanation, Yuan Qiaoqiao finally understood why the film crew strongly required her to attend the movie premiere.
Logically speaking, after returning from Berlin, Yuan Qiaoqiao should return to the crew of Shaobao, but she did not go back because she was caught up in the premiere of "Sometimes to Dance".
The Berlin Film Festival closed on the 20th, and Berlin time was seven hours behind the imperial capital. Therefore, by the time she returned to China, it was already the 22nd.
The movie was released on the 24th, and the film crew forced her to participate in the premiere promotional activities. Therefore, under such circumstances, how could she go back when she knew that she would probably never come out again after returning to the crew?
So, in the end, it was Sister Kuan who came forward and withstood the anger of the director and producer of Shaobao, Yuan Qiaoqiao extended her vacation for two more days.
In fact, if the film company hadn't wanted to use the conflict between her and Li Jiaxin as a topic, even though when she got the role and signed the contract, there was a clear stipulation in the contract that after the film was released, as the starring role, she had to fully cooperate with the film company in promoting the film. Under normal circumstances, for a young artist like her who has intense filming tasks and is not well-known, the film studio usually doesn't care too much whether she participates in the movie premiere promotion.
Looking at Yuan Qiaoqiao, who still had a frown, Sister Kuan said with some confusion: "What, you are not satisfied with the film crew's operation? In fact, you should be happy.
No matter how good Li Jiaxin¡¯s acting skills are,??She is a first-line popular star in the industry. This is an outright fact. Her reputation among the public is not inferior to other first-line artists at all, and is even deeper than them.
You, an unknown little artist, are comparing yourself to her. You are using her fame and status to support you. You are serving as a stepping stone for you. "You are stepping on her to get the upper hand, do you know that?"
Yuan Qiaoqiao explained: "I'm not illiterate, but as you said, she is deeply involved with rich people. I'm worried that she will be dissatisfied and use them to trip me up."
¡°Don¡¯t worry about this, she may have trouble with you in the future, which is normal, but she will not use the rich people she has connections with to suppress you.
It¡¯s not that she doesn¡¯t want to, it¡¯s that every circle has its own rules and how to play.
"If she did that, it would be tantamount to breaking the rules. Unless she didn't want to stay in this circle, she wouldn't do that, and those rich people wouldn't interfere. "
After hearing what she said, Yuan Qiaoqiao breathed a sigh of relief, nodded and said, "Then I'm relieved."
There are "hidden rules" in the industry. This is something that everyone in and outside the industry knows very well, and almost every artist, whether they are popular or not famous, has passed through it to some extent, but until she traveled back , only two and a half can be exposed to the public.
One of them was the "Zhang Jue's Videotape" incident in 2003, but the result of the final exposure was that she was banned from the entire entertainment industry, while other behind-the-scenes workers such as directors and producers who were exposed by her were still I continue to be active in the circle and do whatever I need to do without any influence.
The other is Li Jingjing, an actor who played the role of "Sister-in-law Zhuang" in the TV series "Golden Wedding". She revealed that after rejecting a certain assistant director, he lowered the price to her and at the same time quoted a high price to the producer. Through this method, the price difference was created. After she came to ask her for a high "kickback", she was secretly blocked by the industry, so she announced her withdrawal from the industry very forcefully.
The remaining half is actually the "yin and yang contract" incident that was extended from Zhuang's wife's revelations, which caused the collapse of the once famous A-list celebrity Fan Ye. Most of the entertainment industry was in turmoil, and all artists were busy paying taxes. .
??Are there no other unspoken rules events other than the two exposed "hidden rules" within the half-circle?
of course not. A large part of the reason why no one continues to break the news is that few people are willing to stop their careers and challenge industry rules.
In fact, Yuan Qiaoqiao didn't know that Li Jiaxin would not let the rich people she was friends with suppress Yuan Qiaoqiao. In addition to the rules of the industry, she also did not interfere in the affairs of the industry like the rich people here in Hong Kong. Announced, but tacitly related to the fact.
Before the return, the entertainment industry in Hong Kong was deeply involved with gangs, societies and other areas with black backgrounds. Therefore, no matter whether they were involved in gangs or not, on the surface, these wealthy people with status and status would be involved with gangs, societies, etc. These groups keep a distance, so when they make friends with female artists, they will generously give away houses, luxury cars, and jewelrybut most of them will not give away characters. For example, Pan Shunbao specially invited a character to express his gratitude. It is almost impossible for people in the industry to customize a song or a role for her.
After the return of Xiangjiang, the film market in Xiangjiang has begun to decline. It is completely uneconomical to invest in the film and television industry at this time. Therefore, the conflict between Yuan Qiaoqiao and Li Jiaxin is destined to be limited to the two of them and the team behind the scenes. will not involve Li Jiaxin¡¯s wealthy friends.
Thinking that it had been more than a year since she signed the contract, and finally a work was released, and it was in Xiangjiang, Sister Kuan couldn't help but sigh: "It's not easy, my hair almost turned gray waiting for your work to be released. "
Hearing her exaggerated statement, Yuan Qiaoqiao said: "Sister Kuan, you are exaggerating too much, right?
??Also, let me correct you. The movie "Sometimes to Dance" is not my first film to be released in Hong Kong. "Dark War" was released in September last year.
¡°It¡¯s just that I didn¡¯t find my Hong Kong work permit at that time, so I couldn¡¯t come over to attend the premiere. "
¡°That movie doesn¡¯t count.
Although you also starred in "Dark War", your total appearance time in the movie was less than five minutes, and you only appeared at the beginning and end of the movie.
The focus is on how the thief played by Andy Lau battles wits and courage with the policeman played by Liu Qingyun. You are insignificant in it.
As a tool in the film, you are embarrassed to say that you are the star of "Dark War", but I am embarrassed to promote it. "
Sister Kuan is also extremely depressed. It has been more than a year since she was signed. Among them, although Yuan Qiaoqiao had to quit the TV series crew midway due to some reasons, she has also made several movies. So far, the only works she has broadcast are "Journey to the West", which was broadcast on Mainland China during the Chinese New Year this year, "Dark War", and the upcoming movie "Sometimes Dancing".
