Entertainment: I am the peak

Chapter 318 It would be nice if it could be made into a co-production (for the leader [The only thing I lack is your lifelong understanding])
Most people don’t know that the script review of “The Invisible Guest” was stuck, but this news could not be hidden from some well-informed people in the industry.

Wang Zhonglei knew it, and Yu Dong knew it too, but they only knew that the review was stuck, and they didn't know the specific reason why it was stuck.

The review being stuck is not a good thing for Qiu, but it is a good thing for Huayi and Berna.

It's not that they are happy to see their opponents in trouble, but they want to participate in this project and this gives them an excuse.

Wang Zhonglei took the initiative to call Zhang Zhao to express his concern for "The Invisible Guest" and said that Huayi could help solve the review problem.

How could Zhang Zhao not know what Huayi was planning?

I've solved your problem, so it's not too much to give me a share, right?

But Li Qiutang still doesn't want to share the project in the fall. Although it is uncomfortable to be stuck in the review, there is still plenty of time to strive for mediation, and it is not yet time to ask for help with the quota.

But Zhang Zhao still told Wang Zhonglei about the troubles encountered in "The Invisible Guest". There was nothing that could not be told. They were from the same circle and had collaborated on such a big project as "Pacific Rim".

After hearing this, Wang Zhonglei patted his chest and assured, "It's a piece of cake! We'll do it for you."

As a neighbor only a 10-minute drive away from the Autumn Pictures building - I don’t know how he calculated this number - Mr. Yu from Bernardo also said that he could solve the censorship problem for Autumn.

Sino-US co-productions are very popular now. Mr. Yu is very envious of Huayi's collaboration with Qiu Tian on blockbusters like Pacific Rim. As a US-listed company, Berna needs co-production projects more than Huayi.

The relevant person in charge of the General Administration was also wondering why both Huayi and Bona came to publicize "The Invisible Guest"? Wasn't this project scheduled for the fall?
This year, the two prime time slots of summer vacation and National Day were hit hard. For market considerations, the General Administration was very willing to allow directors like Li Qiutang to pass the review to save the market, but now it is stuck with the public security and judicial departments, and the General Administration cannot intervene.

It can be said that Huayi and Bona really took "The Invisible Guest" seriously.

But this is a really difficult matter. The two companies have been working on it for more than half a month but still haven't gotten it done.

In a nutshell, if the script is not changed in the fall, this project will not pass.

But Berna's entry gave Autumn inspiration!
"The Invisible Guest" failed to pass the review as a domestic film, so can it pass the review as a co-production?

As soon as this idea came into his mind, Li Qiutang felt that it was worth a try!
The core of "The Invisible Guest" does not need to be changed. We just need to set the story in Hong Kong and say that the male protagonist Qin Lang committed a crime in Hong Kong and was tried.

Do it as soon as you think of it, and start pushing forward immediately in the fall.

Mainland-Hong Kong co-productions require Hong Kong film companies to be deeply involved in the investment and production of the films. Qiu has never made a co-production before, but that doesn’t matter at all.

Qiu Tian still does not want to split up its investment, because Qiu Tian Pictures’ parent company, Haitang International, is a film and television cultural investment company registered in Hong Kong.

Transfer the matter from left hand to right hand and handle it internally.

This is what Berna Yenching and Berna Hong Kong do.

"My mind is still not open." Li Qiutang said self-deprecatingly.

The censorship in Hong Kong is much more relaxed. "The Invisible Guest" was submitted for review by Hong Kong Begonia International and passed smoothly.

Li Qiutang directed the location scouting team to temporarily adjust their itinerary and head to Hong Kong.

Liu Yifei ended her trip in France. Luc Besson did not give her the role on the spot, but he also said that he would interview and audition with her later.

After returning to China, she went to find Han Yan without even adjusting to the jet lag.

Although Li Qiutang said that she was not suitable for "The Fault in Our Stars", Liu Yifei was never so obedient and she still wanted to give it a try.

She really liked The Fault in Our Stars.

Han Yan came to her, naturally hoping that she could act in the film. To some extent, "The Fault in Our Stars" can also be classified as a youth film.

And Liu Yifei is now the first choice for box-office hits in youth films.

When Liu Yifei put on the makeup of a heroine and appeared in front of Han Yan, Han Yan said, "She is still too beautiful."

Of course, this can also be explained by the fact that a beautiful girl gets cancer, and this strong contrast can win more sympathy from the audience.

But after Liu Yifei finished the play, Han Yan felt that she "acted well, but not enough."

Of course I won’t tell Liu Yifei this.

Maybe because she has played too many beautiful girls, Liu Yifei's performances are now a bit formulaic.

She knows that she is good-looking and she also knows what the audience likes to see in her. Although she wants to break out of her comfort zone, her efforts are not enough at the moment.

She was playing a cancer patient and a beautiful girl. And it was obvious that Liu Yifei had not prepared for this role in advance. Her audition performance told Han Yan that she had not observed the living conditions of cancer patients in advance.

The performance was superficial; she was acting out her imagined state as a cancer patient.

She thought that since she had just returned from France and was not jet lagged, her tired state was consistent with the patient's condition, but in fact it was far from the truth.

This is not what the crew of "The Fault in Our Stars" wanted.

Han Yan was a little disappointed. He had previously looked for Liu Yifei and thought she was a good fit, but now it seemed that he had made a wrong judgment.

"Very good, Yifei, you acted very well."

Liu Yifei really took this as a compliment. I really can act, she thought.

After finishing her work at Han Yan's place, Liu Yifei did not return to her home, but went directly to Li Qiutang's apartment. After washing up, she wrapped herself in the quilt and fell asleep.

Li Qiutang came back at around 11 o'clock in the evening and saw his girlfriend sitting cross-legged on the ground practicing yoga. He was stunned for half a second.

"You're back? Why didn't you tell me? I'll pick you up."

"I'm not a kindergarten kid, just do your thing."

Liu Yifei made a move that seemed very painful to Li Qiutang: "Take it easy. It hurts just looking at me."

"What do you know? This is called Downward Dog Position. Ah—huh—" Liu Yifei let out a long breath.

"Just do it, whatever your name is."

"It's called regulating your breathing. Don't talk to me."

"Your waist is not in good condition." Although Liu Yifei's lifelong spinal disease has been cured, as an actor, she will always have some pains in her body.

But Liu Yifei didn't listen to him and said, "Don't talk to me. I'm almost out of breath."

Li Qiutang didn't shut up, and continued to talk to herself: "Doing yoga late at night, are you jet lag gone?"

"I just woke up." But Liu Yifei would still respond to her boyfriend.

Liu Yifei made another pose that seemed very seductive to Li Qiutang.

"what is this?"

“It’s called Happy Baby.”

"What kind of name is this?" Li Qiutang didn't understand yoga.

"This trick helps relieve chest tightness, shortness of breath, and irritability."

Li Qiutang said, "You feel chest tightness and shortness of breath, I can massage it for you."

Liu Yifei broke down in a second, put her feet down, lay on the yoga mat and exhaled, and scolded with a smile: "What are you thinking about? I told you not to talk to me. Pour me a glass of water."

Liu Yifei sat cross-legged on the ground and drank some water. Seeing her boyfriend staring at her, she asked in confusion, "What are you looking at? Is there something on me?"

"You look really good in this." The tight yoga vest and yoga pants made Li Qiutang take a second look.

"Nothing I wear looks bad?" Liu Yifei said proudly.

"I can never get enough of you." Li Qiutang raised his girlfriend's chin, got up and went to the bedroom, "I'm going to take a shower."

"Hey!" Liu Yifei certainly knew what he was thinking.

"I'm just going to take a shower, why are you in such a hurry?" Li Qiutang said with a smile, "Could it be that you..."

"Go to hell!" Liu Yifei picked up the cushion and threw it at him.

Li Qiutang was soaking in the bathtub, feeling so comfortable that she almost fell asleep.

"Sir, do you need a back scrub?" The voice of technician Xiao Liu came from outside the bathroom.

"Fuck the milk."
