Entertainment News Headlines

Jiang Se and Lin Xiwen seldom contacted each other after they collaborated on "The Grand Event in Peking". During the holidays, she would send messages to wish them well, and rarely met in private.

Everyone is very busy. Lin Xiwen is running the company while making movies, not to mention Jiang Se, who has to take care of both studies and work, so naturally he is gradually alienated.

Once the promotional period of "Peking Grand Event" was over, when I ran into Lin Xiwen at the workplace where I was attending an event, at most it was just a matter of saying hello. Jiang Se didn't expect that Lin Xiwen would call him at this moment.

Although she was puzzled in her heart, she still took the phone from Mo Anqi's hand:

"Director Lin, I'm Jiang Se."

"Turse, I haven't congratulated you on the big sale of "Devil", breaking the record at the box office." Lin Xiwen heard that Jiang Se called out his identity as soon as he answered the phone, and his tone was gentle, without putting on airs, and there was a smile in his voice up:

"It was also shortlisted for the 'Best Actress' at the 'French Film Festival', which is very remarkable."

"Thank you, Director Lin, for your compliment." Jiang Se laughed, and then asked:

"Call me, what's the matter?"

Lin Xiwen had worked with her for a while, knew her character, and didn't take her outspoken way to heart, but breathed a sigh of relief:

"There is indeed something I want to discuss with you. Do you have time recently?" When he said this, he was actually worried about whether Jiang Se would agree to meet him.

After all, today is different from the past. Jiang Se's status is different from when he was filming "The Great Event in Peking". After "Devil", Jiang Se has gained a firm foothold with the role of "Zhang Yuqin", and he has cooperated with Liu Ye and endorsed After buying Federer's watch, she has already joined the ranks of China's first-line actresses, and her schedule should be very full.

If I wanted to make an appointment with her temporarily, she might not agree.

Jiang Se took a look at his itinerary, "There should be."

When Lin Xiwen heard this, she let go of her throat, and said happily:

"Then tomorrow afternoon, let's meet and talk."

After agreeing to meet at a coffee shop near Century Galaxy at three o'clock tomorrow afternoon, Jiang Se hung up the phone.

Mo Anqi was a little surprised:

"Why did Lin Xiwen suddenly call to ask you to meet?"

Xia Chaoqun tidied up the information on the desktop and thought about it:

"I guess I want to ask you to make a movie." She looked at Jiang Se, "Lin Xiwen's new movie was released a few days ago, I think you still have some impression of this movie."

Xia Chaoqun curled the corners of his mouth:

""Erlang God: Pacifying the Chaos in the World"." When she spoke, Mo Anqi was already laughing, and several staff members couldn't help laughing:

"It is said that apart from the film critics, even the audience scolded this movie. Feng Bushuo even posted a post on his social networking site, saying that the soul of Lin Xiwen who was able to make "The Great Event in Peking" was dead, so he made a movie. The farce of "Er Lang Shen"."

Jiang Se has been very busy recently, and she doesn't pay much attention to the newly released movies, but she has an impression of "Erlang God: Putting Down the Chaos in the World".

When Gu Jiaer introduced her to Lin Xiwen's Shangjia Company, one of the choices Lin Xiwen gave her happened to be this movie.

But later, Jiang Se didn't like this movie, which Lin Xiwen said could give her the role of heroine, and the salary was good for newcomers. Instead, he took a fancy to Hou Xiling's "Peking Grand Event" as the screenwriter, and gradually became popular with "Peking Grand Event" , and later won the first trophy in his life at the China Film Festival with the role of 'Doubo'.

She didn't expect that "Erlang God: Putting Down the Chaos in the World", which she gave up at the time, would be delayed for several years before it was released this year.

"This movie not only has a bad reputation, but also the box office is not outstanding. Lin Xiwen obviously encountered a Waterloo, and the usual publicity methods did not show the advantages they should have."

Lin Xiwen didn't choose the right time, and the release of "Erlang God: Pacifying the Chaos in the World" has been delayed again and again. It was originally expected to be released in March this year, but there are two good movies in March this year.

One is "Accident" directed by Ning Zhanping and starring Tao Cen, and the other is "Devil" starring Jiang Se and Liu Ye. The two films not only have eye-catching lineups, but also participated in the French Film Festival. "Devil" It even won two awards in a row, which caused a great sensation in China.

Lin Xiwen also knew the content of his movie at the time, and his usual method would not be effective at this time, and it would not make waves, and it was even very likely that he would be caught between two movies, and the box office would be crushed, so the movie was released. The time has been rescheduled.

Unexpectedly, the aftertaste of "Devil" came to April because of the promotion of Jiang Se's return to China in the later period, and the lingering prestige remained undiminished, and the relationship between Jiang Se's endorsement of Federer watches dominated the headlines in the entertainment circle, so in desperation, Lin Xiwen made "Erlang God: The Peace of the World" "Rebellion" was rescheduled to be released in May, but the result was still disastrous.

"When this movie was released, it happened to be when "Devil" was released." Because of the outstanding box office performance of "Devil", the number of days of release was extended, "but even on the last day before the release, the box office statistics were not "Erlang God: Putting Down the Chaos in the World" is comparable."

In addition, Lin Xiwen's movie was promoted more and more, and the signboard was "Lin Xiwen's next masterpiece after "The Grand Event in Peking", so many viewers went for the quality slogan of "The Grand Event in Peking". Naturally outraged, the film was slammed online by angry, duped crowds.

After Xia Chaoqun finished speaking, Mo Anqi went on to say:

"On the movie database, the score of this movie is only 21 points, and there are a lot of people scolding it." She said here, and chose a comment for Jiang Se to read. A netizen with the ID name'Bighead Fish' was indignant 's message said:

"The film is horribly bad, and Lin Xiwen's goodwill accumulated by "The Great Event in Peking" will be ruined by himself. The so-called "Erlang God: Putting Down the Chaos in the World", the whole audience was so noisy It hurts, visually, the male protagonist wears thick-soled boots no more than 1.6 meters tall, and the filial dog stands taller than him by a head..."

A cup of yogurt: not only the male protagonist is short, but the plot is also inexplicable. Chang'e and the Seven Fairies all ran after Erlang God. There are also a few extreme scenes in it. If the movie has ratings, A stands for ethics, B stands for violence, and C stands for bad movies , D stands for porn, E stands for magic... I think this movie can stand at the peak of ABCDEFG...

Gently say I love you: The rubbish director made Erlang into a deformed alien.

...

When Jiang Se saw these comments, he couldn't help laughing. The following were all scolding, shouting 'Lin Xiwen don't make movies, he should retire quickly', many people even left messages in anger saying: I don't believe Lin Xiwen anymore. The movie is too bad, and I don’t even watch the new movie.

Xia Chaoqun saw Mo Anqi and others commenting and laughing, and couldn't help saying:

"Lin Xiwen shouldn't care about this movie." No matter how netizens scold this movie, it should not lose money.

It was originally a low-cost production, and almost all the actors hired were newcomers signed by Shangjia Company itself. The cost is very low. Although the results after the release are not good, the capital should be preserved, and Lin Xiwen may have made a small profit.

But the consequence of doing so is to damage his reputation, and the next movie may not have audiences willing to buy it.

"It's okay if it's generally ugly, but the movie "Erlang Shen" has already affected the investment in Shangjia's stock, and Lin Xiwen can hardly sit still." Xia Chaoqun analyzed, "In order to let the audience watch him After being fooled once, he has to think of a better way how to obediently walk into the theater for his movie again and pay for it.”

When Xia Chaoqun said this, Jiang Se understood what she meant.

At this moment, Jiang Se is famous, has a high status, and her acting skills are guaranteed. Lin Xiwen came to her to put out the fire.

With this "Erlang God: Pacifying Chaos in the World" ahead of him, no matter what the subject matter of his next movie, he will inevitably be criticized by the audience, and the audience may not buy him.

Generally, stars with insufficient status will be affected by Lin Xiwen's fame, which will lead to a decline in reputation. If one is not good, it will be easy to add infamy, bear the name of box office poison, and affect future movie resources.

But it would be different if a star like Jiang Se with high box office appeal came to star.

Since Jiang Se's debut, every film he has participated in has been of high quality, with good reputation and box office.

Even the performances of the few movies that played tricks at the time were remarkable. "About I Love You" starring the leading role for the first time also achieved very good results. After "Devil", in the hearts of most Chinese audiences, Jiang Se It may be the well-deserved box office queen, and even the box office of a single film has surpassed Tao Cen.

Jiang Se can retrieve Lin Xiwen's lost reputation for him, but the risk is not small, because if the quality of the film is too poor, it is likely to implicate Jiang Se at that time.

How high are the audience's expectations for her now, and the better the movie's box office will be, the more harsh it may be on her in the later stage.

"His performance is not stable. How about the specific situation, you can think about it after meeting him tomorrow."

Having said this, Xia Chaoqun looked at the time, "I will have a meeting at the company later, and I will pick a few scripts for you from the company's scripts. You can choose by yourself."

When she got up, assistant Zhang Chi and others packed up their things and prepared to go back.

Jiang Se searched for Lin Xiwen's new movie at night. After "The Grand Event in Peking", he also had several works, but none of them could keep up with the reputation of "The Grand Event in Peking", and the box office was much worse.

Many people even said: They would rather rewatch "The Grand Event in Peking" ten times than watch Lin Xiwen's new film once.

Especially "Erlang Shen", which is regarded as the worst word-of-mouth in Lin Xiwen's directorial career, and the box office is not as good as once. No wonder he called himself for help.

Meeting Lin Xiwen, Jiang Se rejected Mo Anqi's request to go with her.

In the coffee shop next to the Century Galaxy in Shanghuan, the imperial capital, when Jiang Se came over, the waiter who opened the door for her in the coffee shop opened the door and said with a sweet smile:

"Welcome light..." Before the last word 'Lin' was uttered, the girl with a baby face raised her head and saw that the person who came in was Jiang Se, and screamed: "Ah... Jiang Se ..."

There are not too many people in the coffee shop in the afternoon, and soothing light music is played inside. The relaxed guests are blowing air-conditioning, drinking coffee, smelling the sweet smell of pastries. When they are leisurely, the waiter screams Many people woke up with a start.

When the people in the coffee shop heard her shout, they all looked up.

Jiang Se was wearing a black one-neck knit top, matching hip-wrapping skirt, and black stiletto shoes on her feet. Her figure was graceful and graceful, which immediately attracted everyone's attention.

The girl's scream attracted everyone's attention to Jiang Se. In the distance, Lin Xiwen stood up and waved his hand. Jiang Se smiled and said:

"I have friends in there."

"Thurse, I like you so much, you are so tall, so thin, and your legs are longer than what you see on TV." The girl opened a pair of shining eyes, and said like a cannonball:

"The voice is nice, the skin is nice, why are you so beautiful? I came here to work because I knew you were from Century Galaxy. I just wanted to meet you. I saw you for the first time after working for half a year. You." Her cheeks were flushed with excitement, and the store manager in the coffee shop was startled by her voice, and came out with an embarrassed face to pull the person away, and kept bowing down to Jiang Se apologetically.

Jiang Se gave a wry smile, and seeing the girl being arrested with reluctance, he breathed a sigh of relief and walked towards Lin Xiwen. It seemed that he had been here for a while, and the magazine in his hand was turned over. Most of the time, when I saw Jiang Se coming, I closed it and put it back on the shelf.

"I've been waiting for a long time." Jiang Se sat down, and Lin Xiwen shook his head:

"I came too early."

The two met at three o'clock, and Jiang Se had arrived fifteen minutes earlier than the agreed time. This is her character. Before she became an adult, she maintained the habit of arriving early. After becoming famous, she still maintained such a good punctuality. The quality undoubtedly made Lin Xiwen like it more.

He made a gesture and called the waiter to ask Jiang Se to take an order. This time it was a young boy. Although he didn't yell like the girl at the beginning, when he came to Jiang Se's side, his face was still red. , his hands were still shaking, and he secretly raised his head to look at Jiang Se from time to time, his face became redder every time he looked at him.

After Jiang Se finished ordering, he was still a little reluctant to leave, until Lin Xiwen looked at him several times, and he walked away with a disappointed face.

"Why isn't your assistant here?"

Lin Xiwen saw the previous farce in his eyes, and he knew how prosperous Jiang Se is now. He started with a random sentence, and Jiang Se gave him a deep look:

"Meeting with friends is not a business matter, there is no need to bring an assistant by your side."

As soon as she finished speaking, Lin Xiwen couldn't help laughing bitterly:

"You still have such a personality, sometimes people like it very much, and sometimes it makes people itch."

There was a briefcase beside the seat where he was sitting, but Lin Xiwen didn't mean to open it immediately, instead, he talked with Jiang Se:

"In my life, the best decision I ever made was not to set up Shangjia Company, nor to make a lot of money, but to spend several years finding Teacher Hou Xiling and writing the script of "The Great Event in Peking". I believe Hou The teacher's vision chose you to be the 'cardamom' in "The Grand Event in Peking."
