Chapter 131: First Trailer!

Everything has been taken care of for this trip to Hollywood.

Huang Bo has also finished filming and will return to China with Tian Xiaole.

Accompanying them were eight technical engineers from Pangu Pictures.

"Boss, the box office results have just come out. You should stay a few more days."

James saw the group off at the airport, and while they were checking in their luggage, he kept saying things like, "Please don't let us stay."

"I didn't plan to stay long this time. I'll wait for the box office revenue sharing for 'Annabelle' to come in before buying more special effects equipment."

Also, keep an eye out for special effects engineers. As long as their skills are excellent and they're willing to work in China, they'll all be given the same treatment.

"I've noted down all your instructions. You can rest assured that you'll be handling the company's affairs with me," James said, patting his chest confidently.

From an ordinary employee to the number two person in a company, with the boss often absent, James is very concerned about the company's development.

He was afraid that if the company went bankrupt, he would go back to being an employee.

"Keep in touch via email if anything comes up."

"Okay, boss."

James gave an awkward military salute.

Tian Xiaole's trip was rushed, but he returned with a full load of goodies.

Horror films are the lifeblood of Leyu.com's development; compared to established internet giants, it relies on the continuous funding it provides for growth.

The technical talent brought back can save domestic special effects teams a lot of trouble.

On the plane, Huang Bo talked about what he saw and heard during filming, which could be described as opening a new century, even though he was still a senior college student who had not yet graduated.

After a flight of more than ten hours, it was already afternoon when we landed in the capital.

Tian Xiaole's itinerary seemed to have been exposed; as soon as she stepped out of the station, she was surrounded by a group of reporters.

"Director Tian, ​​congratulations on the North American release of 'Annabelle' and its good box office performance. Is it true that 'The Promise' had a poor box office performance in North America?"

"I didn't pay attention to that; I was too busy with my own things."

"I'd like to ask if Zeng Li got into the [Pacific Rim] project through connections?"

"This is completely a rumor. She just fits the requirements of the role. Maybe other actors will be added tomorrow. We will see the results of the training camp and make adjustments to the role as needed."

"Shu Chang is being sued for compensation by other film crews. Would you fire her?"

"If it affects the progress of the Pacific Rim mission, they will definitely be fired."

"Huang Bo, filming in Hollywood..."

"..."

···
After dealing with a group of reporters, he got into the car that had come to pick him up.

Tian Xiaole said to Chen Zhixi in the passenger seat:
"Several engineers were assigned translators to facilitate communication with the employees. They are our precious employees, and we can meet their demands as long as they are not excessive."

"Okay, boss."

I didn't go straight home; I went to the company first.

Tian Xiaole first browsed the news to learn about the film market.

The box office performance of several films released during the Lunar New Year holiday season has entered a period of sluggishness.

The film "The Promise" grossed less than 10 yuan per day, but its total box office reached 1.6 million yuan.

The Japanese and South Korean markets, on which hopes were pinned, have also fallen short of expectations.

The box office for "A Chinese Odyssey Part Two: Cinderella" settled at just over 50 million.

The film was criticized by Teacher Liu, who believed it disrespected classic characters and that while adaptations are acceptable, fabrications are not.

"Riding Alone for Thousands of Miles" has grossed over 30 million yuan, becoming Zhang Yimou's highest-grossing art film.

In January, only "Huo Yuanjia" is worth paying attention to.

Jet Li claims this is his last martial arts film.

When the female lead was being chosen, many actresses were eyeing the role.

In the end, Sun Li got the role. As for who pulled the strings behind the scenes, that remains unknown. It certainly wasn't Chao Zi; he didn't have that kind of influence.

The theme song was specially commissioned from Jay Chou, who composed the theme song of the same name, "Huo Yuanjia"!
Just as Tian Xiaole was choosing the release date for the first trailer, Han Sanping called.

"Xiao Le, your collaboration with Lionsgate has been successful again, and the Fox project is almost finished filming. Did you bring back any projects this time?" Han Sanping was grasping at straws in his desperation; last time he went there, he brought back a share of "Night at the Museum."

This is because [Wuji] has lost so much money that it's desperately looking for projects to cover its losses.

"Uncle Han, I was only there for a few days this time. I was mainly keeping an eye on the box office and also managed to get a few special effects engineers back with me."

Upon hearing Tian Xiaole's words, Han Sanping raised his voice considerably and did not mention the new project again.

"Great! China lacks special effects equipment and even more professional talent. You've solved both."

I'm becoming increasingly confident about the Pacific Rim project.

When Han Sanping decided to produce "Pacific Rim" in China, there was an element of gambling involved, but more importantly, he was shouldering the heavy responsibility of developing the film and television industry, so he had no choice but to follow suit.

He also heard that Tian Xiaole had invited professors from Peking University and Tsinghua University to fund their research on digital special effects.

"This is what I should do; it's all for the rapid rise of Chinese film and television."

Tian Xiaole made his stance clear.

"Haha, your family has inherited good traditions."

Han Sanping laughed, feeling much happier. On this path, there was someone to walk alongside.

Suddenly the topic changed, and the question was asked:

"Xiao Le, what's the reputation of 'Wuji' in North America? Is there any chance of it winning an award?"

When the news of his Golden Globe nomination reached China, he was overjoyed for quite some time.

"The box office performance is not good. As for the word-of-mouth, even Chinese people don't understand it, let alone foreigners."

Tian Xiaole spoke the truth to prevent Han Sanping from harboring unrealistic ideas. At his age, how could he withstand the stimulation of ups and downs?

When he hung up the phone, Han Sanping's helpless sigh could be heard.

1 month 10 number.

Without any warning, the first trailer for "The Thieves" was uploaded to Leyu.com.

It quickly attracted the attention of netizens, and the investors, China Film Group, Huayi Brothers Media Group, and Enlight Media, then forwarded and spread the news.

Hong Kong Island, on the set of "Rob-B-Hood".

This is a film about men and children; the female lead's job is simply to be beautiful.

For Fan Binbin, being able to act alongside Jackie Chan is something she doesn't care about the size of her role.

As long as I can get in touch with Jackie Chan, even if I can't go to Hollywood, at least I can get resources in the Hong Kong entertainment circle.

At that time, she will have resources in both places, and it will be difficult for her not to take off.

"Binbin, look! The trailer for 'The Thief' has been released."

The assistant handed the video from the internet to Fan Binbin, who was waiting on set.

In the trailer, Fan Binbin is suspended by wires and quickly descends from the rooftop ventilation duct to the designated floor.

Her black bodysuit and high ponytail accentuated her figure and showcased her cool and stylish personality.

In order to evacuate at the agreed time, he jumped directly from the rooftop, completing a thrilling and dangerous act of switching the beams and pillars.

"Wow, is that me? I only felt that it was very hard when we were filming, being suspended by wires every day. But the cool moves in the trailer made it all worth it, no matter how hard or tiring it was."

Fan Binbin sighed from time to time, her eyes a little sore. No mainland actress has ever played this cool, sexy and witty character, not even one from Hong Kong.

Cheng Long noticed the commotion and walked over out of curiosity.

Seeing the footage, Fan Binbin is practically a female version of Ethan Hunt.

"Is this the movie you starred in?"

"Yes, it's 'The Thieves' directed by Tian Xiaole."

Fan Binbin nodded, lost in the trailer, and watched his own spy-like performance again.

If she had this opportunity every time she made a contribution, she would be willing to become Tian Xiaole's loyal wine taster.

The first trailer for "The Thief" shocked not only the female lead, Fan Binbin, but also netizens.

In big-budget movies, it's common to see female leads as pretty but useless, mere ornaments to highlight the male lead.

It's rare to film a female lead who is both sexy and intelligent, and who also handles most of the dangerous stunts.
