Chapter 52 Extra Story 2: Cocoon (Liang Huan x Fang Ning)

Fang Ning's "Cocoon" was originally not planned to be released in domestic theaters, and it was going to be released overseas.But Liang Huan took a real-time data analysis report from the Internet, found Fang Ning's small apartment, and wanted to talk to Fang Ning.

The film took eight months to shoot, and the editing took another nearly a year. Fang Ning accepted the report with a smile: "Mr. Liang, it's not that I'm lazy, it's just that a film like "Cocoon" wants to be popular in China. It's too difficult to get a high box office, why should I spend all my energy doing such a thankless thing?"

Liang Huan asked: "I thought that Director Fang not only wants to make a movie, but also wants to win the approval of domestic audiences."

Fang Ning sneered: "I don't think that with the current taste of domestic movies, the public can appreciate my works."

Liang Huan smiled softly: "It's hard to get over it."

Fang Ning impatiently practiced Tai Chi, and said directly: "Okay, Mr. Liang, we won't go around in circles anymore. Jiangcheng will return to China in June next year. You are worried that he will not have any works when he comes back, so you want to persuade me to send this movie Theater?"

Liang Huan admitted very frankly: "Yes, not only that, I also want to use this movie to get Jiangcheng a few award nominations."

Fang Ning narrowed his eyes: "Mr. Liang's wishful thinking is good, but why do you think I agreed to you?"

"Naturally it's profitable." Liang Huan curled his lips, "The film's publicity fee is injected by Universal Entertainment. Of course, it has to be converted into shares to count as income. It doesn't matter if Director Fang doesn't want to go through the approval process. Someone will do it - Director Fang just needs to sit back and wait for fame and fortune."

Fang Ning said: "That's good, but Mr. Liang, you're praising Jiangcheng as your own son. If he knew that you were helped by the Mr. behind the scenes and turned into a senior executive of Universal Entertainment, what would he think?" think?"

Liang Huan frowned: "Young people are ignorant, so they will push out the bargains delivered to your door." She took out a pack of women's cigarettes, raised her eyebrows and looked at Fang Ning, "Does Director Fang mind?"

Fang Ning shook his head.

Liang Huan lit a cigarette, took a sip, and held it in his hand again: "Mr. Yu feels guilty towards Jiang Cheng, and wants to make it up to him. If the money is given to Jiang Cheng, he can throw it away. Why don't you give the benefits to Jiang Cheng?" Me, help me go up, I have the right to speak, and Jiangcheng will naturally have a better life. No matter how you think about it, it is a good deal."

Fang Ning looked at the cigarette in Liang Huan's hand, and suddenly said, "President Liang, quit smoking."

Liang Huan picked up the ashtray on Fangning's coffee table, shook the ash, and raised his eyes with a smile: "Director Fang, there are still three cigarette butts in your ashtray."

Fang Ning reached out, took the cigarette in Liang Huan's hand, and put it out in the ashtray: "Then let's quit together."

Liang Huan pursed his lips and said nothing, Fang Ning moved closer to her: "Liang Huan, did I tell you that I quite like you?"

Liang Huan was stunned for a moment, and then immediately smiled and frowned: "That's very good, come on, Director Fang, the contract is here, if you see that there is no problem, then sign it."

Fang Ning took the pen and the contract from Liang Huan, and signed them neatly: "Okay, sign."

After the contract was signed, Yu Li and Liang Huan should leave, but Fang Ning was looking at her with burning eyes at the moment, which made Liang Huan's smile a little uncontrollable. Guide to have dinner?"

Fang Ning smiled: "It's disrespectful, please wait for me a moment, Mr. Liang."

Liang Huan thought at the moment that Fang Ning was just going to change clothes to prepare to go out - after waiting for an hour, she realized that Fang Ning was going to change a skin.

When Fang Ning came out again, his messy yellow hair was smoothed out, and he even brushed his back with hairspray.The beard on his face was also shaved clean, revealing a radiant face with deep contours.

He changed into a rare suit and held a long trench coat in his hand.

Fang Ning walked to Liang Huan's side, and Liang Huan could smell the cologne on his body.

Seeing Liang Huan sizing him up and not speaking for a while, Fang Ninghua smiled flauntingly like a peacock seeking a mate: "Am I in good shape?"

Liang Huan managed to force a smile: "Hehe." She raised her wrist and motioned Fang Ning to look at her watch, "One hour and twelve minutes, Director Fang, I told you it would take you so long to paint, so I'll go back to the company for a while. trip."

Fang Ning grabbed Liang Huan's wrist: "I'm sorry Mr. Liang, next time I invite Mr. Liang to dinner, and apologize to Mr. Liang."

Liang Huan couldn't help rolling her eyes, she withdrew her wrist from Fang Ning's hand, stood up with her bag in her hand, and said, "No need, Director Fang is too polite, it's enough for us to finish this meal, there's nothing else Next time."

Fang Ning walked beside Liang Huan, lowered his head with a smile, and looked into Liang Huan's eyes: "Oh, Mr. Liang is too polite. How come there is only one meal? "Cocoon" is going to be released, and Mr. Liang has to be troubled. There are always chances to meet for publicity. Mr. Cheng Liang auspiciously said that at the end of the year, we have to accompany him to a few film festivals, and when the main creators break up, don’t we have to go have a meal?”

Liang Huan covered his heart and almost couldn't catch his breath, Fang Ning was so angry that he fainted.

After exhausting his professionalism all his life, Liang Huan tried his best to restrain himself and not tear up the contract he just signed.

During the summer vacation in July, "Cocoon" was released in domestic theaters, taking advantage of the protection month for domestic films, and ranked third in the first-day screening rate.

The leading actor, Jiang Cheng, is abroad at the moment, so he can't even attend the premiere, let alone a road show. Liang Huan has prepared word-of-mouth marketing from the beginning and a counterattack in the later stage.

Compared with the Spring Festival file, the summer vacation file is good because the main group of moviegoers are not families but young students. This group of people does not pursue family carnival, but pays more attention to plot, quality and special effects.

"Cocoon" is a good movie. The story begins with a killing game. Jiang Cheng plays Shen Yi, a high school student who got into the game by mistake. There are thirteen people participating in the killing game, including a little girl who is no more than seven years old and some Urban elites in suits and leather shoes, as well as gray-haired old people, vicious fugitives...

Shen Yi was wearing a school uniform with blue and white stripes, a clean crew cut, and eyes as pure as the water of Lugu Lake.When he came out, he rode a bicycle out of the intersection, and the wind blew up his unzipped school uniform jacket, as if he had grown a pair of wings.

Originally, he just wanted to go out to watch a movie with the girl he liked, but accidentally entered the wrong unit. After knocking on the door, he was brought into a strange world of killing games.

Here, all the rules of normal human society are broken, and players divide and confront camps in the form of card games.

The side that loses must vote internally to choose a person to be killed.

Shen Yi wanted to leave, but no one stopped him, but he found that he couldn't go out at all.This strange room seemed to be a space independent of the normal world. He could come in, but he couldn't get out.

Shen Yi can only choose to join the game, a game of life and death.

The plot was reversed several times, and the weirdness of this room—and the weirdness of Shen Yi’s—made the audience frown more and more.

The little girl killed the urban elite, turned around and was strangled by the fugitive. Shen Yi wanted to save the little girl, but the little girl bit her arm.

Crazy.

But in this madness, Shen Yi gradually changed.

The rhythm of the story is tense and the suspense is repeated. Until the end, Shen Yi became the only one alive in the room, but his eyes completely changed. He killed the little girl. To be precise, Shen Yi entered the room from the very beginning. The killing never stopped.

Finally, the shot belonging to the room slowly fades away.

The darkness lasted for several seconds, and the bright sunshine appeared again. The camera moved from far to near, from the lush trees to a hospital.

"Doctor, the patient with multiple personalities in bed No. [-] woke up today."

"The first stage of treatment is over, but I just don't know which personality is left behind."

Shen Yi was still lying in the ward, his lips were pale, and he was lying weakly on the hospital bed.When the doctor and nurse came in to check on the situation, he smiled at the nurse.

The smile is clean and subtle, like dewdrops in the morning.

The nurse's face turned red.After the examination, the nurse followed behind the doctor, whispering, "The patient's condition looks very good."

The doctor paused, turned around to look at the nurse, and smiled strangely: "Really?"

The nurse was taken aback, at some point, the doctor's face became exactly the same as Shen Yi's.

On the first night of the show, at around nine o’clock, #《肤》江城杀手游戏##《肤》江城笑儿##你真实见《草城》了吗# was on the hot searches one after another.

Black humor, violent aesthetics, the best feature films of 2018, works by the talented director Fang Ning, Jiangcheng's last movie before studying abroad...

A series of labels were slapped on the movie "Cocoon" crazily, and it was almost like saying "If you don't watch it, you are not Chinese".

Liang Huan not only spends money on Weibo, but her WeChat public account and circle of friends are also the focus of her word-of-mouth marketing.In the early stage of the publicity, Jiangcheng was used as the highlight and gimmick. In the later stage of the publicity, Fang Ning was used to elevate the whole movie's force. The former deceived female audiences, while the latter killed both men and women. Pit after pit.

In the end, "Cocoon" was taken off the shelves one month later than the scheduled schedule.

The day before the movie was officially released, Universal Entertainment had a rare guest.

This guest was very dressed up, holding a large bouquet of red roses in his hand, his hair was dyed golden and combed neatly behind his head, his black suit pants were straight and slender, his long and narrow eyes sparkled everywhere, and the smell of cologne on his body You can smell it from afar.

"Look for Mr. Liang."

The lady at the front desk shrank in front of the computer, as if she wanted to look at it but didn't dare to look carefully: "Do you have an appointment, sir?"

The guest flaunted the bouquet of flowers to the front desk: "This is the appointment."

The front desk lady was taken aback by the visitor, and didn't dare to let him in, so she called Liang Huan tremblingly.

Not long after, Liang Huan came out of the elevator stepping on high heels, frowning furiously: "Fang Ning, what are you doing here?"

Fang Ning immediately approached Liang Huan with flowers in his hands, feeling very wronged: "I came to see you, Liang Huan, if you can't pull it out, you will be ruthless..."

The front desk lady covered her mouth in surprise from the gossip. Liang Huan felt that she was so angry that she could get angry. She didn't wait for Fang Ning to finish speaking, and dragged him into the elevator.

Fang Ning smiled until he saw his teeth but couldn't see his eyes: "Oh, Xiao Huanhuan, you are too anxious!"

Liang Huan hesitated, let go of her hands when she got into the elevator, and stood at the farthest position from Fang Ning: "What's your business here today, Director Fang?"

Fang Ning took out two movie tickets: ""Cocoon" will be discontinued tomorrow, I would like to invite you to watch the movie tonight."

Liang Huan refused without even thinking about it: "No time, work overtime."

Fang Ning took the flowers and approached Liang Huan: "If Mr. Liang doesn't promise me, I won't leave."

Liang Huan wrinkled his nose and pushed Fang Ning away: "How much perfume did you wear today?"

Fang Ning didn't care: "Go, go, go!"

Liang Huan said: "The last time I saw your yellow hair, did it fade after the golden color faded?"

Fang Ning still didn't care: "Go, go, go!"

Offended people in the previous life, but met Fang Ning in this life.

Sitting in the movie theater, Liang Huan sighed. She has actually watched the movie "Cocoon" many times. The purpose of watching it at that time was to find a publicity point, which was too utilitarian.At this time, calm down and watch this movie again, and truly feel Fang Ning's brilliance.

Jiang Cheng did contribute his best acting skills in "Cocoon".

At the end of the film, Liang Huan glanced at the man sitting next to her casually eating popcorn. It was hard to imagine that Fang Ning, who was as flamboyant as Fang Ning, would make such a film.

Fang Ning noticed Liang Huan's gaze, and asked with a smile, "Do you want popcorn?"

Liang Huan shook his head, and Fang Ning said again: "Hey... Mr. Liang, your name has come out." Just under Fang Huanyu Entertainment, the distributor, "It's so amazing to see your and my name in a movie at the same time. .”

"Oh." Liang Huan responded.

Fang Ning asked: "Does Mr. Liang like this movie?" Fang Ning's voice was lowered, and he asked seriously, with a bit of solemnity.

Liang Huan raised her eyebrows in surprise. She thought that people like Fang Ning would not care about other people's perception of her movies.

"I like it." Liang Huan thought for a while, and gave an answer that was not against his will.

Fang Ning smiled: "That's good." He moved closer to Liang Huan and said softly, "Liang Huan, I want to make a movie for you."

He paused, and added, "Love movies."

Liang Huan was stunned for a moment, then with a chuckle, he stretched out his hand and pushed Fang Ning's face away: "Is the relationship trying to cheat investment from me? Director Fang, I have to bring the script."

Fang Ning was so angry that he wanted to throw the popcorn bucket in his hand: "Liang Huan!!! Can't you understand love words?"

Liang Huan lowered her head, with the corners of her mouth slightly raised: "Let's go, go eat." She got up and walked out, took two steps, then turned back, "I'm serious, shoot as you want, take out the script, and give it to me if it suits you." You invest."

Fang Ning rubbed his face, wondering, although the direction of the script is not right, but somehow it feels good?

The warm lights of the movie theater hit the two of them, Fang Ning walked up quickly and held Liang Huan's hand.
