Time flies to December 25th, Christmas Day in the West, and the crew of "The Legend of Monkey King" held a press conference. After repeated selections, the selection of several protagonists of this film was finally settled. Journalists were surprised to find that director Liu Jin had all cast new stars in the film and television industry, including Tang Seng, Wu Jing, Tian Peng and Xiao Bailong, as well as heroines Zi Xia, A Yue and other important roles. According to Liu Jin, the movie "The Legend of Wukong", like the original novel, will be a work dedicated to young people. Although the selection of young actors may have many aspects such as acting experience, this movie The selling point of the style itself has already been determined. Only young actors can express the charm of the characters in the original work. As for who should play the role of Sun Wukong, which has been debated for more than ten days, Chu Feng or An Ran, when interviewed by reporters, director Liu Jin still shook his head with a tangled face, "This role is still not available. When it comes to making a decision, Chu Feng and An Ran are both excellent, and it¡¯s hard for us to make a decision. The crew is still debating it, so please wait patiently.¡± ¡°It will be another five days until An Ran attends Royal University¡¯s New Year¡¯s Day. After the party, there was still no news. The media¡¯s hype about the two competing for the same role continues, and the war of words between fans shows no signs of stopping. Although Enron's die-hard fans are managed by several fan leaders such as Zhang Xiaoyuan, there are often hundreds of thousands of fans and fans active on Weibo, and most of them are not included in the management team of Enron's official website. Therefore, although several fan leaders Repeated appeals for sanity have had little effect. In addition, whether it is for the purpose of following the hype or really out of interest, some artists in the circle have also participated in this debate. In public or private occasions, who are the two leaders in the music industry? It is more suitable to play Sun Wukong and express their own opinions. From the Internet to TV, from ordinary netizens to artists in the industry, the hype created by the crew of "The Legend of Wukong" can be called a perfect example of movie warm-up. However, Chu Feng and An Ran, who were the parties involved, kept silent on this matter during this period of time. ¡ ¡ No. 108, Shangwu Street, the headquarters of Huaxia Brothers. "According to our reporter, "The Legend of Monkey King" produced by Oriental Film and Television and directed by Liu Jin will start filming in April next year. Several protagonists of the film have been confirmed, but who will play the role of Monkey King? The crew There is still no definite statement. Chu Feng¡¯s agent expressed strong confidence in a telephone interview with our reporter, while the other client, An Ran, continued to maintain a low-key style and still did not comment on the matter. , and its economic company also stated that Enron currently has no plans to accept interviews" Sun Mingliang turned off the TV, frowned, and felt anxious. As the most famous artist of Huaxia Brothers, Enron's ability to participate in such a large-scale movie is a rare opportunity for both Enron personally and Huaxia Brothers. Sun Mingliang will definitely support it. But at present, apart from waiting for the crew to choose, Sun Mingliang is completely helpless. With the insignificant scale of Huaxia Brothers, it is still unable to exert any pressure on investors and Liu Jin. Although Sun Mingliang has been in the entertainment industry for decades, his connections are basically in the music industry. The film and television industry is too deep. Even if the Sun family has old friends who work in relevant departments, there are many people who are concerned about this matter. Expressing helplessness. Oriental Film and Television, which is a giant in the film industry, is not a small fish and shrimp that everyone can get involved in. "Xiaohu," Sun Mingliang thought for a moment, his eyes lit up, "Do you want to know your identity as the original author" An Ran shook his head and gave Sun Mingliang a relieved smile, "Uncle Liang, you don't need to worry about this matter anymore. I have other plans." "Besides, Director Liu Jin's favorite actor was not me." An Ran's eyes grew colder. The hype of "The Legend of Wukong" during this period was undoubtedly successful, but for An Ran himself. But it doesn't bring a dime of benefit. Not only does it have to be used by the crew to increase the attention of the movie, but when the dust finally settles, it also has to serve as a foil for Chu Feng. No matter it is the investors or the great director Liu Jin, there is still no explanation, not even a hint in private. "It's no wonder, considering that he is a little person who just debuted in the music industry and has not yet entered the film and television industry," An Ran laughed at himself. But An Ran narrowed his eyes and rubbed his chin with his fingers. I am afraid that no one would have thought that a little guy like him was planning to ride on the "Legend of Wukong" bandwagon. "Haha¡ª¡ª" Sun Mingliang sighed with a sad look on his face, "Well?I also thought that from the moment the crew arranged for you to audition for Monkey King, I knew that there might be no chance this time. " "However, I am a little unwilling to do so. I always think that there should be a way to reverse it. After all, opportunities are rare. "Sun Mingliang shook his head with a wry smile. An Ran stood up, poured a cup of tea for the middle-aged handsome uncle, sat on the desk, took out a stack of printed brochures from behind and handed it to Sun Mingliang. Sun Mingliang blinked, satisfied Confused, he took the booklet in his hand and lowered his head to look at it. There were four large Chinese characters on the cover of the booklet, from top to bottom - "Huh?" Big talkJourney to the West? Your new book? "Sun Mingliang raised his head in surprise. An Ran had an unpredictable smile on his face. He stretched out his finger and tapped twice to signal Sun Mingliang to continue. "Guanyin: Sun Wukong, you beast, you originally promised Tathagata Buddha to escort your master Tang Sanzang. You who took the Western Scriptures actually colluded with the Bull Demon King to eat your master. Do you know that you have committed a heinous crime? Sun Wukong: Stop being so wordy! You chased me for three days and three nights, but I didn't kill you because you were a woman. Don't think I'm afraid of you! Tang Monk: Wukong, how can you talk to Sister Guanyin like this? Wukong: Wow! be quiet! Tang Seng: You are scaring me again! " Sun Mingliang stood up from his chair with a roar, his mouth hanging open, "This is a movie script? An Ran squinted and nodded with a smile, "Yes, it took me nearly ten days to get out." " Swallowing his saliva, Sun Mingliang felt his voice trembling, "Who took the photo? " An Ran raised the corners of her mouth, pointed at herself, her scorching eyes were scary. It took An Ran a whole afternoon to calm down the somewhat "over-frightened" Sun Mingliang. "Based on the current situation of the Huaxia brothers, and At An Ran's current agemaking a movie? Even if he "gets famous early," Sun Mingliang once wondered if this kid was angry because he couldn't get the starring role in "The Legend of Wukong". But An Ran¡¯s calm and determined expression told him that this was obviously not the case. "An Ran raised his eyebrows and raised a finger. "First, now that "The Legend of Monkey King" has been so hyped, it can be said that this movie has reached the level of becoming popular before it was even filmed. As a movie that is also based on "Journey to the West" "Westward Journey" is a spin-off story. It can definitely take advantage of this popularity and ride on this free publicity without any waste of manpower or material resources. "Sun Mingliang took a deep breath, frowned and thought, and waved An Ran to continue. "Secondly, it is also because of the benefits of early publicity for "The Legend of Wukong" that I, a seventeen-year-old singer, also came to film one, It will only make the media hype more intense. After the filming of "Westward Journey" was completed, with the media's hype, the film scheduling rate of major theaters was bound to be high. This also saved us huge publicity costs, and more importantly, it eliminated the need to work with The issuing company negotiates the wrangling part. " An Ran's voice was full of confusion, "Uncle Liang, this is a very rare opportunity. ¡± The film scheduling rate, whether in the previous life or this life, will always be the most critical issue affecting the box office of a movie. However, the difference is that in the previous life, the film scheduling rate of a movie largely depends on who the investor is. It depends on whether the relationship with the theater bosses is good, whether the director is a big name, the level of social attention, etc. In the end, these are all human factors that have little to do with the quality of the film itself. But in this life, although it is. It also has a similar human influence as in the previous life, but it is minimal, because the film scheduling rate of Chinese movies in this life is determined based on big data. The so-called "big data" is similar to the "movie box office prediction model" of the United States in the previous life. The model can predict the box office revenue of a movie's first week of release one month in advance, and the accuracy is as high as 90%. Moreover, not only the film scheduling rate will be based on "big data", but also the successful movie in the previous life. The American TV series "House of Cards" was basically invested and filmed based on "big data". The result is obvious. "Big data" sounds mysterious, but it is actually easy to understand when analyzed. Its components include, a film and television drama in society. The influence, attention on the Internet, how many people want to watch it, the number of keywords distributed on important websites, the total number of views of trailers and other videos Therefore, the hype of "The Legend of Wukong" itself It has already attracted enough attention and raised the attention to a terrifying level. It is conceivable that when it is released in October next year or the New Year, the film schedule of "The Legend of Wukong" will inevitably be high.??It is not impossible to squeeze into the top three, or even be the first. This is why investors spare no effort to speculate, and Enron wants to ride on this bandwagon. "So, since Oriental Film and Television has 'helped' us save so much human, financial and material resources, it would be a bit too 'unhumane' not to be afraid of this "Westward Journey"." Sun Mingliang was still hesitant, An Ran After finishing speaking, a playful smile appeared on his face, his eyes dark. Although the biggest reason for filming "Westward Journey" was to use a chicken to lay an egg, An Ran himself didn't believe that there was no reason to be angry because it was exploited and hyped by Oriental Film and Television. No matter how good-tempered a person is, no one can swallow this breath. It is true that Oriental Film and Television is a giant, and Liu Jin is also a world-recognized great director. In front of them, An Ran is just a little guy who has just debuted. Maybe it was someone else who would have tolerated it this time, but An Ran's eyes were cold and there was a hint of sarcasm in the corner of his mouth. The advantage of a reborn person is not so easy to take advantage of. "They are all monkeys anyway, and we are no different." (To be continued.
