Chapter 210: Taking Yang Mi as a Goal, Wrap Up Successfully

"Palace" at the beginning of the year was incredibly popular.

Even though more than half a year had passed, the popularity showed no signs of weakening.

Especially since Yang Mi and Feng Shaofeng joined hands to participate in a big production film like "White Vengeance," it pushed their careers to a new height.

Now "Scarlet Heart" has started broadcasting.

The same Qing dynasty time-travel TV series, larger-scale promotional efforts, rigorous and delicate plot, stunning theme songs and interludes...

In terms of TV series, Tang Ren indeed had vision, and "Scarlet Heart" became popular.

How popular was it? To give a very direct example.

In just a few days, Liu Shishi's market value soared twice, stepping into the ranks of quasi-first-tier young actresses with one foot.

It is estimated that after the first round of this drama is broadcast, she will successfully be promoted to a first-tier young actress, even if it is only the lowest tier among the first-tier.

In addition, those Taiwan and Hong Kong male actors who had long been out of fashion also became popular again, and several mainland male actors also saw their popularity surge.

How popular "Palace" was back then, "Scarlet Heart" was just as hot now!

Cai Yinong might be holding her breath, with press releases being issued wave after wave.

Directly stepping on Yang Mi to increase the topic for Liu Shishi. After all, the two TV series inevitably had to be compared.

Many people in the circle recognized that the quality of "Scarlet Heart" was far better than "Palace," but the former still lost, losing in time.

The one who successfully eats the crab first is always the one that latecomers cannot catch up with and surpass.

In the comparison of the female leads, Tang Ren lost even more miserably.

Cai Yinong never expected that after "Palace" became popular, Yang Mi immediately got "White Vengeance," and then the box office of "Painted Skin 2" was so explosive...

Tang Ren.

Cai Yinong looked at Liu Shishi with relief, but also a bit helpless.

"After this TV series, you can be considered to have stood firm. Although among the female actresses born in the 80s and 85s, there are many ahead of you, but let's take it slowly, there will always be opportunities to catch up and surpass."

Liu Shishi was about to answer, but saw Cai Yinong hesitate and add:

"You can take Yang Mi as the goal you want to catch up with, although the gap is a bit big now, at least it can still be seen. The company will also find ways to find some film roles for you..."

Once upon a time, Cai Yinong would use Liu Yifei to motivate the female artists under her.

But since a long time ago, she never mentioned Liu Yifei again, because it was too unrealistic...

"Mm, I will work hard, Sister Cai."

Lin Nan listened to Yue Jun's report in the crew and felt it was a bit funny.

In the media and on the Internet, as long as there was a topic about "Scarlet Heart," there would definitely be "Palace."

If there was a report on Liu Shishi, it would inevitably step on Yang Mi's performance in "Palace."

Many reporters even ran to interview Feng Shaofeng and Yang Mi, asking them for their views on "Scarlet Heart."

As a result, both of them were prepared.

As soon as they opened their mouths, it was that they were busy filming promotional videos for "White Vengeance" recently, had no time to pay attention to "Scarlet Heart," and "Palace" was also a thing of the past...

"Don't bother, you can tell it's that President Cai's promotional strategy. Now that she can't rub off on Liu Yifei, she changed to me, it's really unreasonable."

Before Zeng Jia could speak, Yang Mi spoke logically, looking like she was very clear in her heart.

"As long as you understand, the reply to the reporter before was very good. The less you care, the more you can show your pattern."

Yang Mi nodded and said bluntly:

"Don't worry about anything, Liu Shishi has no brains, I could tell when filming 'Chinese Paladin 3.'

Besides, what prospects can she have staying at Tang Ren? Except for TV series, it's TV series, seeing the end at a glance..."

China Digital Production Base.

A group of main creators were working overtime for the final stretch.

The entire spaceship system was in chaos, modules were out of control, and the male and female leads played by Liu Dehua and Zhou Xun were racing against time to troubleshoot.

Lei Jiayin had a green cloth strip one finger long and one centimeter wide on his forehead, and he himself was "dancing" irregularly.

The green cloth strip on his forehead would be made into a wound with special effects in post-production, and the visual effect would be turned-out metal skin with precise metal components inside.

In the shot, Liu Dehua supported the bar with both hands, jumped into the bar easily, and turned off Lei Jiayin's "switch," and the latter instantly lowered his head and went out.

"Wire ready, safety measures in place..."

Liu Dehua put on the designed spacesuit, ready to go out of the spaceship cabin door, bypass the gas cabin, open the gas cabin heat vent from the outside, release high temperature, and restart the fire discharge system.

This trip was a narrow escape.

Having two powerful actors like Liu Dehua and Zhou Xun act out this kind of life-and-death separation scene was indeed very moving.

The former's tone was very light, his attitude was decisive, and the latter was roaring, unable to bear his risk-taking.

A large number of shots of Liu Dehua being washed by flames while wearing a special spacesuit also needed to be done with post-production special effects.

At this moment, he had to perform this shot without objects.

"Wire master ready."

"Action!"

Liu Dehua, hanging on the wire, rose sharply by more than ten meters.

In the final film, this was the shot of being hit out of the spaceship by a powerful flame airflow and thrown into space.

The tow rope broke, the spacesuit was damaged, and he couldn't go back!

On the monitor, Zhou Xun quickly put on the spacesuit and decisively went out of the cabin to rescue.

Reba's voice sounded, "Rescuer located..."

"The next scene is Zhou Xun's tow rope being a little short, but she grabbed the broken rope of Brother Hua. Mm, although the bridge is old-fashioned, the audience will definitely like it, heh..."

Lin Nan said to Lei Jiayin on the side and Reba who had just walked back.

Over there, Zhou Xun dragged Liu Dehua back to the spaceship, trembling all over because of nervousness and anxiety.

She placed the male lead, whose heart had stopped beating, into the medical pod, and used the identity code of the character played by Liang Jiahui to order the medical system to "rescue," and it succeeded.

"The last few drama scenes, we can wrap up today!"

Lin Nan looked at the two male and female leads walking over and said with a smile.

"Finally wrapping up, still a bit reluctant," Liu Dehua smiled.

"Me too. Director Lin, Yifei is coming in the afternoon, right? We can't wrap up without her."

"Of course, she will come over in the afternoon."

The wrap-up time of "Passengers" was unknown to the outside world because Lin Nan had been rushing the progress these days.

Until after eight in the evening.

A photo was posted on Weibo by several people.

On the round dining table were various delicious dishes, Lin Nan, Liu Yifei, Liu Dehua, Zhou Xun, Guo Fan, Lei Jiayin, and Reba, seven people sitting around together.

Liu Yifei leaned her head on Lin Nan's shoulder, making a V-sign, her smile revealing playfulness.

All seven were beaming, looking at the camera, with the caption: "'Passengers' officially wrapped up, reward ourselves!"

Didn't forget Liang Jiahui, the Weibo posts of several people all tagged him, "See you at the wrap-up banquet."

Soon, Liang Jiahui replied to several people, "Hard work, see you at the wrap-up banquet."

The industry and the circle then reacted, "Passengers" wrapped up!

"Invested 250 million, directed by Director Lin Nan, produced by Liu Yifei, starring Liu Dehua, Zhou Xun, and others, the sci-fi romance blockbuster 'Passengers' wrapped up low-key today!"

"Main creators, dinner photo..."

"Liu Yifei leaned on Lin Nan's shoulder, smiling sweetly, playful and cute..."

... ===== CHAPTER 211 =====

Hearing this, Lin Nan was also quite surprised.

This film, featuring Jackie Chan and Li Bingbing, was originally scheduled for release in early October; it was moved up?

"This is getting interesting; three blockbusters on the same day, a chaotic battle!" Liu Dehua chuckled and shook his head.

"Xixi, make some room."

Lin Nan looked at Liu Yifei, who was sitting in the director's chair, and said.

"Mm, sit down."

Liu Yifei shifted half her seat, looked up at Lin Nan, her smooth, tender face glowing. She patted the chair with her hand and said with a smile.

Miss Liu was still waiting to go out for a meal with everyone after the wrap-up in a bit.

Lin Nan sat down next to Liu Yifei, smelling the faint fragrance beside him, and glanced a few meters away.

"Camera two?"

"In position," Guo Fan replied.

"Ready, action!"

The male lead, played by Liu Dehua, inadvertently discovers that the medical pod actually has a hibernation function, but it can only hibernate one person.

He wants to give this opportunity to the female lead.

"Stingy, one less banquet," Zhou Xun muttered.

Liu Dehua had no opinion; Lin Nan's usual shooting rhythm was moderate, and he didn't like rushing night scenes.

Now that there weren't many scenes left, speeding up the rhythm was nothing.

Lin Nan couldn't figure it out, why were some people so self-righteous?

Lou Ye had been banned in China for five years, and had been filming abroad these years, or filming secretly in China in violation of regulations. He had just been unbanned for half a month, and started looking for trouble again.

He calculated the time, prepared a script outline, and sent it to the Film Bureau as soon as he was unbanned, but it was rejected in less than a week.

According to normal logic, he should ask for the reason and refine the script.

But Lou Ye didn't do that, directly posting on Weibo accusing the above of wearing small shoes for him, just because he had a "stain" on him!

It would have been fine to do that, but this guy actually made a lot of "complaints" when accepting interviews with foreign media.

The result was that public opinion spread outside instantly, and it became a big deal.

Even Jiang Wen was complaining about Lou Ye, "Film fans call him 'Young Master Lou,' and he really treats himself as a young master.

Which of us wasn't honest after being unbanned? Originally, we violated the policy ourselves, so we accepted the punishment.

But he was the only one who felt he was right... He didn't use the fact that he was banned in China less in the films he shot outside these years."

Lin Nan remembered the 2009 Cannes Film Festival; this Director Lou took "Spring Fever," which was filmed secretly in China, to participate in the competition.

After winning Best Screenplay, he publicly criticized the Film Bureau in front of a group of foreign media; he was very fierce back then!

Sure enough, not two days later, Lin Nan heard gossip from Han Sanping.

Lou Ye's script was rejected because it was only an outline and too sloppy. He made such a fuss, and the matter was not small.

Given Lou Ye's behavior, Tong Ju had already greeted him.

Film festivals wouldn't pass Lou Ye's review for at least half a year, and any script wouldn't be passed, and he had to take the initiative to admit his mistake...

Lin Nan also felt that this director had been blown to the sky outside these years, and wondered if his cognition had a problem.

Zhou Xun also felt a bit emotional; her first Best Actress award was won by Lou Ye's "Suzhou River" at the Paris Film Festival. ===== CHAPTER 210 =====

"With an investment of 250 million, the sci-fi romance blockbuster *Passengers*, directed by Lin Nan, produced by Liu Yifei, and starring Liu Dehua, Zhou Xun, and others, wrapped up quietly today!"

"Cast and crew, dinner photo..."

"Liu Yifei leaned on Lin Nan's shoulder, her smile sweet, playful, and cute..."
