Chapter 221 The Deserted Premiere of "Apple"
Just two days after Lust, Caution was released, Pietà was also released in mainland China.

Two films in the main competition at Venice.

The battlefield shifted from Venice to the two sides of the Taiwan Strait and Hong Kong.

The ratings of Lust, Caution are comparable to those of Pietà.

At the box office, the two are evenly matched.

In the first week, "Lust, Caution" took in 3250 million, and "Pieta" took in 3420 million.

If Lust, Caution did not have the gimmick of sex scenes and the fame of Li An, it would definitely not be a rival of Pietà.

The mainland's abridged version cannot satisfy the curiosity of the majority of netizens.

They all said that they would definitely go to Hong Kong Island to watch the original version if they had the chance.

The filming of "The Sound of Wind" in Tianjin has temporarily come to an end.

The crew moved to Dalian.

Zhou Xun squeezed out time to attend the 5th Southeast Hot Music Chart Awards Ceremony hosted by Southeast TV.

"The Wind Rises" won the Golden Melody Award, and the film queen Zhou Xun got to perform on stage.

After coming back, Zhou Xun couldn't help but complain to everyone in the crew.

"It's really boring. It's just a bunch of young people. They're singing Super Boys and Super Girls. I won't go next year."

Zhou Xun returns to the team and filming of "The Sound of Wind" continues.

Today's scene is an important Hongmen Banquet in the film.

After everyone was gathered and confined in "Qiu Zhuang".

They began to show off their talents in the process of accepting a series of investigations, and tried their best to clarify and defend themselves.

Qiuzhuang in Dalian is built on the edge of a cliff on the sea and is mainly used for location shooting.

To this end, the most expensive aerial photography method was used.

The aerial photography team even paid a large sum of money to invite the flying-cam company that had created films such as "Mission Impossible" and "Harry Potter" to take charge.

After two days of rest, the main actors have basically recovered from the shadow of torture.

"Apple" was released first in Hong Kong Island.

However, it greatly disappointed the audience in Hong Kong Island.

Everyone went there for Fan Qiaoqiao's practical experience.

Previously, some media broke the news about the passionate scenes in the movie "Apple".

Fan Qiaoqiao did not use a body double, and appeared completely topless, with many exposed shots.

The difficult action scenes in "Lust, Caution" have attracted many young people in Hong Kong.

Fan Qiaoqiao's personal participation is much more attractive than Tang Wei's.

The production team of "Apple" never gave any explanation.

Yang Siwei laughed and said that the play was directed and performed by both the producer and Xiao Fan.

The purpose is to get everyone to go to the cinema.

As soon as the movie was released in Hong Kong Island, it attracted a large number of enthusiastic young people to the cinema.

"You're not as exposed as you thought you were in a swimsuit! Give me your money back!"

"Apple TV passionately competes with Lust, Caution. Fan Qiaoqiao has to call Tang "sister"!"

"Is this going to fight naked? I couldn't even see what was on the chest!"

"The more you expose your talent, the richer you are. In today's society, capital is in power and material desires are rampant! Still consider it art? Sad."

Three weeks after its release, "The Conjuring" has grossed over 2.5 million U.S. dollars worldwide.

It beats the $4 million of "Saw 8500".

It really proved what Li Chen said that the gap between word of mouth and box office is getting bigger and bigger.

At the end of the month, Yang Siwei was invited to attend the mainland premiere of "Apple".

New Century Cinemas

When Fan Qiaoqiao saw Yang Siwei coming, he immediately greeted Li Yu and came forward to greet him.

"Boss Yang is here, I thought you wouldn't come."

Fan Qiaoqiao held Yang Siwei's arm affectionately.

He called the other person Mr. Yang to tease him, but there was no intention of being polite.

"I didn't want to come, but some people kept asking me to come!"

Yang Siwei teased Fan Qiaoqiao.

After a quick look, I saw that not many people came, and the biggest celebrity was Yu Dong from Bernardo.

The next one should be myself.

No one from Huayi or Chengtian came, even though Tong Dawei and Liang Jiahui were starring. If these two companies didn't come, how many people would come to support Fan Qiaoqiao?

Even Leung Ka Fai himself did not show up.

Fan Qiaoqiao accompanied Yang Siwei to come over and say hello to Yu Dong and Li Yu.

"I'm thinking, Director Li's 'The Sound of Wind' is about to be wrapped up, right?" Yu Dong spoke in a tone like a senior in the industry.

He never treated Yang Siwei as an equal to other company CEOs.

Yang Siwei had long learned how to be good at dealing with people: "It should be soon. Mr. Yu is here to support Xiao Fan today. Xiao Fan should be very happy."

Yang Siwei smiled and glanced at Fan Qiaoqiao, and they all understood each other tacitly.

She knew that Bernard was the only person Xiao Fan could befriend in the mainland.

How could the clever Xiao Fan not understand this truth?

Yu Dong laughed: "Qiao Qiao is a good actor, so of course I, Old Yu, have to come and support him."

Yu Dong quietly winked at Fan Qiaoqiao: "Qiaoqiao, just take care of Siwei and don't worry about us."

Fan Qiaoqiao smiled like a flower, and he and Yang Siwei looked very close: "We are as close as one person."

"Even if I ignore her tonight, she won't say no."

Yu Dong, Li Yu and others walked aside and sat down.

Fan Qiaoqiao and Yang Siwei sat together.

"See? Mr. Yu asked me to accompany you, Mr. Yang!"

Yang Siwei looked at Fan Qiaoqiaoshai and laughed, "How dare you disobey your General Manager Yu's words?"

Fan Qiaoqiao didn't care at all about the hidden meaning in Yang Siwei's words.

This matter certainly cannot be hidden from Yang Siwei, a shrewd man.

"Oh, by the way, is there any role suitable for me in your company's film list for next year?"

She didn't even dare to think about investing, and Brother Chen had plenty of money.

In Brother Chen's eyes, the little money she has is probably just a few steel coins.

"Alas, at the last celebration party, I clearly felt that Brother Chen was much more indifferent to me."

Yang Siwei chuckled: "You talk as if my boss was very fond of you before."

Fan Qiaoqiao's pretty face flushed slightly: "Let's not talk about this anymore, let's talk about business, okay?"

Yang Siwei glanced at her and said, "So what if there is, so what if there isn't?"

"Don't count on me, since you tricked me and set up your own business."

"I don't have the face to speak for you in front of the boss. Even if there is a role, you can only rely on yourself. Or you can ask Mr. Yu and Mr. Mu to give it a try."

Fan Qiaoqiao still didn't care about Yang Siwei's ridicule.

Yu Dong and Mu Xiaoguang were like invisible people in front of Brother Chen.

She never counted on them. It would be better to rely on the little face she and Brother Chen had than on them.

You can tell the relationship between Mr. Yu and Brother Chen just by looking at the fact that Bernard has never participated in any project of Rongchen Pictures in recent years.

But she also heard that Rongchen Pictures was planning a big project in Hollywood.

Yu Dong also told her this news.

The number of people who know this is definitely no more than a pair of hands.

Fan Qiaoqiao already knew the answer she wanted to know.

The next step is how to do public relations with Brother Chen.

Yang Siwei's words were not fully explained.

She must know about the company's big move.

As soon as the new line is finalized, several major projects next year will surely drive the entertainment industry crazy.

Not to mention Fan Qiaoqiao, even people like Sidan and Shuangqiao had to surrender.

During this period of time, I saw Chengtian bought a run-down Golden Harvest.

She was so overjoyed by the media's praise that she felt like a monkey becomes king when there is no tiger in the mountain.

I really can’t imagine how the domestic media will react if a new story about Chiyou swallowing a tree is revealed in a few months.

What kind of expression would Orange Sky have after swallowing up Golden Harvest?

"Lust, Caution" was also lucky if it had been released half a year later.

When it comes to "The Sound of Wind", a love-brained person like Wang Jiazhi will be exposed by Li Ningyu and Gu Xiaomeng!
"Apple" is premiering in China, and everyone's attention is on the competition between "Apple" and "Lust, Caution".

Little did they know that Rongchen Pictures' plan to dominate the world had already set sail.

Because New Line's desperate work "The Golden Compass" has finally started to move around the world.
