Entertainment News: You gain half of your ex-girlfriend's abilities after breaking up!

"Isn't that just your imagination?" Xu Zheng turned around and explained.

"Then when Mingbei comes out, we could even arrange for him to be Fan Bingbing's boyfriend. I think that's all reasonable!"

In terms of looks, the two are naturally a good match.

There may be a lot of negative things about Fan Bingbing, but there's one thing that can't be smeared:

That's her looks.

As a universally acknowledged beauty, almost no one would think she isn't pretty.

This kind of strikingly beautiful woman, with her bold features, makes a powerful impact when she appears on camera with makeup!

However, in the original plot, Wang Bao, played by Bao Qiang, was deeply in love with Fan Bingbing and even told the male lead, Xu Zi, that she was his girlfriend.

If the story were changed so that Mingbei is Fan Bingbing's boyfriend, then the plot would feel somewhat contradictory.

It's not about a conflict of interest in the boyfriend's identity, but rather that in this situation, it would be better to arrange for Fan Bingbing to appear alone, as this would have a better effect.

"What I'm thinking of is arranging a photographer's position for Mingbei," Xu Zheng explained his idea.

"After taking photos of you and Bingbing, we'll come out and identify ourselves. That way, the conflict won't be so big, and it might even have a surprising effect!"

Baoqiang listened and pondered for a moment, imagining the scene in his mind, and thought it seemed pretty good.

"That's not good for me," Mingbei chimed in from the side.

"Look, you used Bingbing's real name in the movie. If people who don't know the situation see this after the movie is released, what will they think I am?"

"If I ran into an excited fan on the street and they hit me with a clapper, that would be really exciting!"

"I feel this cameo role isn't suitable; let's choose something else!"

"That's an exaggeration! That's all theatrical creation, not real!" Xu Zheng laughed.

"Look, in the storyline, Bao Bao even says that Fan Bingbing is his girlfriend. Do you think anyone would believe that?"

"You can't say that," Baoqiang replied seriously.

"Because everyone can tell from my appearance that Bingbing and I are impossible; it's just a fantasy among fans!"

"But Mingbei is different. With his looks, people would believe he was the Queen's partner!"

"Hey, that's too far!" Mingbei was speechless.

"How old is that person? Don't say such things to make fun of them!"

"Saying I'm the boyfriend of some royal princess is somewhat more acceptable..."

Although it was just a joke, and Xu Zhengde and Mingbei went a bit too far, it's not entirely impossible that such a thing could happen.

"We'll see when the time comes. Anyway, Bingbing's cameo will be done in China, so she won't be able to come here. We have time to think it over slowly, no rush!"

Even without assigning such roles, having two top-tier beauties appear together in the same frame would likely generate a lot of buzz.

In general, putting the two together should maximize their effect.

Xu Zheng spent quite a while on the set of Detective Chinatown and offered his directorial advice, improving some minor details to make the filming process smoother.

He is also an actor who can direct and act, and he has his own unique insights into comedy.

For a long time to come, the domestic film market will be dominated by comedies.

Bald Xu played a very important role during this period, because his film "Lost in Thailand" can indeed be said to have ushered in a new era.

At a time when a box office of several hundred million is considered extremely successful, he will explore a whole new world of over 10 billion!

This will also make many people realize that works that are popular with the masses are good works.

After staying for a few days, he went off to attend to his own affairs.

Although Baoqiang hasn't finished filming yet, even if he can't make it in time, he can film other people's scenes first, or some establishing shots.

Once filming here is finished, Baoqiang can seamlessly join the rest of the crew.

As for filming multiple projects at once, there's no need for that.

Detective Chinatown is almost finished filming, it won't be long.

Xu Zheng's addition made things run more smoothly for the entire production team.

If things go smoothly, filming could be completely finished in about ten days.

Just a few days after Xu Zheng left, the production crew welcomed another heavyweight guest.

Huang Bo.

He was also one of the main actors in Lost in Thailand, and in the early stages he could even be considered a "villain"!

Mingbei and he were quite familiar with each other, after all, they had worked together for several months in the Journey to the West: Conquering the Demons crew.

He was originally supposed to make a cameo appearance, but seeing that the timeline of Detective Chinatown was similar to that of Lost in Thailand, he decided to leave it for last.

Arriving when Detective Chinatown is about to wrap up will allow us to catch up with the filming of Lost in Thailand, saving us a lot of trouble.

At least time and money are saved.

"By the way, when is your movie scheduled for release?"

After looking around, Huang Bo pulled Mingbei aside to ask about the specific release date.

"It's not going to be released this year, is it?"

Generally speaking, after a movie is filmed, there are post-production editing and procedures such as applying for a film license.

Normally, the release date is determined about six months after filming is completed.

However, there are exceptions. If you can edit quickly and obtain the film license quickly, you can release the film earlier.

This has the advantage of a faster payback period, eliminating the need to wait six months or a year for the film to be released before recouping the investment.

The same applies to Lost in Thailand. Although it's already May, Xu Zheng still decided to release it this year.

Aside from the one or two months of filming, the time from filming to release is only a few months.

This made the film a fast-turnover project, allowing for earlier returns, saving time and avoiding the possibility of it not being released later.

After all, some companies have a new administration and a new leadership, and it's not impossible for them to suppress your project after a change in leadership.

Or perhaps something unexpected happens later, such as stricter censorship, preventing the film from being released.

If these force majeure events occur, they will have a significant impact on the project.

In short, get rid of the burden early in the morning.

Regardless of the results, at least the audience saw it.

"I don't know yet, maybe next year!"

Upon hearing Mingbei's answer, Huang Bo frowned.

"Lost in Thailand will most likely be released at the end of this year, while Journey to the West will be released during the Spring Festival next year!"

"If you don't choose the right time, you'll either be sandwiched between two people, or your own family will be fighting..."

The choice of release date is indeed very important.

Otherwise, there would be no such thing as a scheduling issue.

A good sales period can unleash tremendous consumer spending power!

The Spring Festival film season is the most competitive, and everyone wants a piece of the action!

As a film produced by Stephen Chow, Journey to the West: Conquering the Demons was naturally scheduled for release during the Spring Festival to grab the biggest viewership!

And other works are unlikely to compete with him!

After being reminded by Huang Bo, Mingbei realized that this was also a problem.

If it's postponed, then a better date won't be available until at least May next year.

Otherwise, neither the end of the year nor the Spring Festival period next year would be suitable.

unless,

"Is it going to be released earlier, during the National Day holiday?"
