Chapter 579: Honey and Sweetness Combine to Make You Choke Just by Looking at It

In late July, in Shanghai, the premiere of "Blade Master 2" was released

"Shi Shi, Shi Shi, let's talk about your first experience of filming a movie."

Liu Shi Shi on the stage was simply wearing a white "Blade Master 2" themed T-shirt, with Da Tiantian and Lei Jiayin next to her.

When she heard the reporter's question, she took the microphone from the host on the stage.

"It's a bit novel, and I've learned a lot. There are some differences between filming movies and TV series. The director's requirements are stricter, and he's more particular about positioning, performance, and lens design..."

"Can you talk about why you took this drama as your debut film? Is there any story in between?"

"It's mainly the director's sincerity. In fact, Director Lu approached me for the first film, but the cooperation didn't work out due to schedule conflicts. He approached me again for the second film, and I really like the role of Ding Baiying, so the cooperation was successful."

"Just now Lei Jiayin said that filming action scenes is hard. What do you think?"

"It's definitely hard, but maybe I've filmed a lot of big dramas, I have experience, and I'm a dancer. Sometimes I feel a sense of accomplishment when I make beautiful or difficult movements, so I don't feel that hard."

"Shi Shi, can you estimate the box office?"

"I can't say for sure, but the higher the better."

"..."

As the most popular artist of "Blade of the Assassin 2" and the main gimmick of publicity, even though Liu Shi Shi is not the first, she is still the focus of reporters' interviews.

Even when interviewing other people, they often have to talk about their impressions of Liu Shishi.

In this case, it is obviously a commercial mutual praise session. No one will give a backer and the most popular actress a hard time.

There was a lot of flattery at the scene!

The most active one among them was Da Tiantian. She had a good relationship with Liu Shishi and she was somewhat envious of her. She praised Liu Shishi wildly.

It made Liu Shishi, the person involved, feel a little embarrassed.

Another one was director Lu Yang. He was considered a half fan of Liu Shishi. Liu Shishi also invested in "The Sword of Assassin 2". In addition, the movie needed to be talked about, so he, as a director, praised Liu Shishi to the sky.

In short, Liu Shishi made movies too late, which was a loss for the Chinese film industry.

Her acting skills were so superb that even Qingxia and Maggie Cheung could not compete with her. Oscar-winning actresses had to take out their notebooks to learn when they saw her...

Not to mention that Liu Shishi blushed when she heard it on the stage, even some of the guests who came to support her in the audience dug their toes on the ground.

Tang Yan felt a little nauseous and tilted her head to look at Boss Wei: "This Lu guy is too good at flattering."

Da Mimi had a unique vision: "I'm afraid it's not Chong Shishi, but someone else."

Tang Yan was a little confused: "Who?"

Da Mimi rolled her eyes: "Who are you talking about? Apart from the one next to you, who else is worthy of such flattery? I guess he wants to join Blue Whale."

After "Embroidered Spring Blade", Lu Yang is at least a little famous, and his status as a director in the entertainment industry is quite high. Even if Liu Shishi is popular enough, she would not flatter him so much.

But it's different with Boss Wei. He is a real big boss in the circle, and all famous directors have to support him. It's understandable that he, a new director who has been famous for a short time, wants to flatter him.

"Isn't it said that he is in the Beijing circle?"

Obviously, Tang Yan knows about this Director Lu, but unfortunately she doesn't know as much as Da Mimi.

"He didn't get into the core. "The Blade of the Assassin" was well-received but not popular. If Shi Shi hadn't joined the second part, it wouldn't have been so smooth."

"He's not from the Beijing circle, but he has a lot of connections and is close to Huace and Huanxi. How should I put it? He's in a good position. It's normal for him to sell me a good deal when he gets the chance."

Wei Yang pointed out the key point. Not everyone is willing to stand in a team, and the circle is not so clear-cut.

Like Lu Yang, who tends to be an independent director, he pulls his own projects and cooperates with big companies and capital. This is also the norm in the circle, especially for the newly emerging directors.

The advantage is high independence, and the disadvantage is poor risk resistance, and it is easy to be bullied by the client when cooperating.

Wei Yang has some impression of Lu Yang, a director with the same name as himself. His output is low, and the good works have poor performance, and the good works have mediocre reputation.

"The Blade of the Assassin" was well-received but not popular. The co-directed "King Kong River" had a box office of more than 1.1 billion yuan, and was criticized. "Assassination of Novelist" is controversial, and there are many praises and criticisms.

Later, he even filmed a TV series "The Wind Rises in Longxi". I don't know if it was because of Chen Kun's influence or because he was not good enough. He had the IP of the Three Kingdoms and a bunch of stars, but it flopped silently.

And in these works, he cooperated with Penguin, iQiyi, Huayi, China Film, Huanxi, Xinli, and Huace?

So naturally it's not about joining the Blue Whale. As for currying favor with Boss Wei, there are not enough people in the entire entertainment industry who curry favor with him.

It is probably because he is young, a little excited today, and really appreciates Liu Shishi, so the words are a bit exaggerated. If it were those old foxes, they would lick well and naturally.

And to be honest, the eldest brother doesn't talk about the second brother.

Tang Mei despised Lu Yang's excessive flattery, but when the movie premiere ended, the guests who came to cheer him up spoke.

The two of them were also extremely disgusting to Liu Shishi, and all kinds of flattering words never stopped, which made the big sweet girl on the stage feel a little crisis.

In other words, Boss Wei was relatively calm. Although he also praised Liu Shishi, he only praised her to a certain extent. He mostly joked with Lei Jiayin.

He also joked that he could do fighting scenes, and that he could be considered when filming "The Sword of Assassin 3". If the salary could not be negotiated, he could bring money into the group.

After the premiere, Liu Shishi finally had time to come over. She still attached great importance to Wei Yang and asked Boss Wei about his opinion on the movie as soon as possible.

"The Sword of Assassin 2" is the prequel to "The Sword of Assassin". It cleverly integrates the plot of the movie into the history of Emperor Tianqi Zhu Youxiao's death by drowning.

Wei Yang actually appreciates this creativity and style. The struggle of the little people under the historical background and the turbulent court struggles is very touching.

It's just that Chongzhen is a little bit overwhelmed by the fact that the mastermind behind the scenes is Chongzhen.

In history, let alone Chongzhen and Tianqi had a good relationship, the key point is that Chongzhen was only 17 years old when he succeeded to the throne. He was still a vassal king without real power, and it was impossible for him to kill his brother to take the throne.

Moreover, Chongzhen was a person with a narrow mind and high expectations but low skills. If he had this character and ability, he would not have been forced to hang himself by Li Zicheng in the end.

However, the two people, Lu and Ding, who killed the witnesses who helped him in the end, did have some of Chongzhen's cold-hearted style.

But letting Shen Lian, the love rival, go was a bit of a forced connection with the first film, after all, Chongzhen was famous for his narrow-mindedness.

Another thing that Boss Wei always felt was that Shen Lian was a love-brained and pure dog-licker in both "Embroidered Spring Blade" films, which was fine, but the key was that he licked two people in two films, which was too inconsistent.

When reading the script of "Embroidered Spring Blade 2", Wei Yang suggested to Liu Shishi whether he could talk to the director to change the setting.

There was no way, "Embroidered Spring Blade 2" was a prequel, and "Embroidered Spring Blade" was too blocked, leaving no room, otherwise Beizhai and Zhou Miaotong could become sisters, one love-brained and the other a sister-in-law.

But Lu Yang didn't know whether he didn't listen or didn't think of a good way to make it perfect, and still let Shen Lian lick Beizhai.

In comparison, Liu Shishi's Ding Baiying had more scenes than the original version, and became more three-dimensional.

The original version of Ding Baiying is very simple, just a female licker and thug, who follows the orders of her favorite senior brother Lu Wenzhao.

And now Liu Shishi's version of Ding Baiying, although she also listens to her senior brother, it is not for feelings, but she is persuaded by her senior brother with the righteousness of the family and the country.

Lu and Ding Baiying are both idealists. They believe that the court is weak because of the eunuch party and the incompetent emperor. In this case, let's change the emperor.

Chongzhen has the ambition to revive the country, so Lu and Ding are willing to help him and fight the Tartars with all their hearts.

The former avenges the shame of Sarhu, and the latter avenges the death of the sons of the Qi family army in Liaodong.

The other plots are roughly the same, but Ding Baiying appears to be more powerful, and Shen Lian is obviously alive with the aura of the protagonist.

In the final ending, the original Ding Baiying was heartbroken after the death of his apprentice's lover, and the current version has a little more anger and madness of being used and abandoned, and the ideal is shattered. The death is also more heroic. He once killed many people, and finally died in siege by being shot.

According to normal logic, the plot should be that the villain repents and plans to fight the bad guys, fight hard, and cover the male protagonist and his escape.

But because it is linked to the first part, Shen Lian, who should have escaped, was caught again and was pardoned in the end.

The climax plot, which was originally tragic and sighing, has lost some flavor.

"If there is no first part, an independent plot, I will give it 8 points, and if the details are richer, 8.5 is fine. Now it is neither high nor low, so it can only be 7 points."

Wei Yang told the truth that if you don't watch the first part of "Embroidered Spring Blade 2" or regard it as an independent movie, the viewing experience will be better.

Forcibly regarded as a prequel, there are many awkward and uncomfortable places, especially appreciating his sad love with Zhou Miaotong or the loyalty of the three brothers, the sense of disobedience is stronger.

"However, movies are movies, and I give you 9 points for your personal performance."

Liu Shishi just showed a disappointed look, and Boss Wei gave her a ray of hope.

Although "Embroidered Spring Blade 2" has some flaws, they are not fatal. Even Wei Yang's evaluation is a bit critical, and ordinary audiences should be able to accept it.

And Liu Shishi's performance is not just a joke, it is indeed very eye-catching.

The role of Ding Baiying has a lot of fighting scenes, and Liu Shishi fights very well. This is not only because she is a dancer and has rich experience, but also because the same movements are faster, more accurate, neater and more beautiful in her hands.

But fighting scenes are not only about fighting, but also about acting.

The body, movements, expressions, eyes, postures, etc. are combined to make the fighting scenes more amazing.

The knife that is said to cut off the martial arts dream of female stars is actually not high in terms of the degree of action excitement, but the key is that it is handsome enough.

This handsomeness is not just about the moves, but also about Ding Baiying.

The director has put a lot of thought into this move. He has been laying the groundwork for Shen Lian's high martial arts skills, and he is bold and careful, and smart enough.

When Shen Lian was surrounded by Ding Baiying and his disciples, Shen Lian made a feint to the east and attacked the west, pretending to fight with his disciples, but suddenly dragged his sword away and attacked Ding Baiying who was supervising the battle not far away.

This should have been Shen Lian's highlight, but the ending was that he stepped on him and made Ding Baiying successful.

Facing the aggressive Shen Lian, Ding Baiying did not dodge, but closed his eyes instead. When he came close, he opened his eyes and thundered.

One block, one chop, Shen Lian's sword was broken and he was helpless!

It was not only the sword that was handsome, but also the rhythm of the plot and the contrast of the characters, and Ding Baiying put the sword on Shen Lian's neck and looked at the latter with disdain, provocation and arrogance, which brought the top master to life in an instant.

She even screamed in the theater, and even Da Mi Mi and Tang Yan slapped Boss Wei's thighs.

Boss Wei was also itching to see it. He hadn't felt Liu Shishi's heroic posture for a long time.

I really want to compete with her and show her my "Wei family's marksmanship"...

Having said that, Wei Yang was originally a little worried that Liu Shishi's "The Witch" would not hold up, but now he is relieved after watching her action scene with Ding Baiying.

Liu Shishi has captured the characters and fighting scenes very accurately. The movie "The Witch" may really have something to offer.

After the premiere ceremony, Liu Shishi asked for leave from the crew, although he still had road show duties.

At the premiere of her debut film, many friends came over to cheer her on. She couldn't help but treat her to dinner, and the main creators of "Xiu Chun Knife 2" also came over to join them.

It's obvious that these people are not interested in drinking. It's fake to have a meal, but it's real to take the opportunity to get to know Boss Wei.

Among the people in "Xiu Chun Dao 2", Wei Yang is most familiar with Lei Datou, and Zhang Ze has met and talked with him on various occasions.

On the contrary, it was the male advocate who was shocked. He usually kept a low profile and was from Taiwan Province, so he had almost never interacted with Wei Yang.

To the surprise of many people, Wei Yang was quite enthusiastic about Zhang Zhen. He chatted with him for a long time during the meal and even exchanged contact information.

Many people thought of the new movie that Boss Wei was preparing recently, and their eyes flickered.

But in fact, Wei Yang's search for Zhang Zhen had nothing to do with the new movie. On the contrary, it was "Celechuan". Wei Yang felt that Zhang Zhen was quite suitable for the role of Yu Wentai.

Serious and restrained, tenacious and unyielding, yet alert and decisive, his temperament is a bit gloomy, his face shows a bit of heroism and ambition, and there is nothing wrong with his ancient costume, as both Shen Lian and Han Xin from "The King's Feast" can attest.

Of course, this is just an intention, Wei Yang has not confirmed it yet, but he does not delay in asking for a contact information.

He wasn't worried about whether Chang Chen would act in a TV series. The latter was more realistic. He later filmed an idol drama, but he didn't know how much the salary would be and whether it would exceed the cost.

Da Tiantian also politely took the initiative to say hello. She may have gotten the news from Liu Shishi, suggesting that she could be considered for a suitable role in the new drama.

Wei Yang agreed happily, but he didn't take it to heart at all. This person was not easy to serve, and besides, he really didn't have any role.

Lou Zhaojun can't give it to her. He can't let her play the role of Empress Zhu...

Hey, it's not impossible. The princess of Six Towns, the pearl of Xianbei, is charming and charming. I just don't know if Da Tiantian is willing to play this supporting role.

Seeing Da Mimi, Da Tiantian, and Tang Yan chatting happily around Liu Shishi, Wei Yang's eyes were a little hot, and then he suddenly thought of the names of several people, and his expression was a little weird.

Sugar, honey, sweet!

Good guy, you are all panicking when you hear this. Liu Shishi is not afraid of getting diabetes, so why not leave it to him? He secretes a lot of insulin, so he is not afraid of it...
