At first, I just wanted to make money

Chapter 558 Preparations
The "Great Qin Empire" series is definitely not official history...

If the history is reproduced as it is, it will lack the ups and downs required by film and television dramas.

What's more, the Warring States period is an era when historical materials are seriously lacking and there are obvious traces of artificial modification?

If the shooting is really done according to the route recorded in historical materials, I am afraid that there are flaws in many basic logics.

Another point, historical dramas... especially historical dramas that are trying to gain something in the market, don't go too deep!

He is deep to him, and I am happy to me!
This is actually the case with film and television works. It may not be fun to drill deep, a little depth is enough, and a little thicker will be more exciting!
The "Great Qin Empire" series should be able to become a leading TV series under Tianmei Media...

As for Zhang Li, in fact, he has always been in touch with Shen Xudong - Wang Jinghua's Shijiu Culture has cooperated with Zhang Li's studio, so he will often cooperate with Huang Zhizhong, Zhu Yuchen, Wen Zheng, Ma Yili and other actors!

By the way, the man in black in "Rising Fame" found Huang Zhizhong...

Huang Zhizhong is the same as Zhang Yi, when he was acting, he worked very hard, every moment he wanted to tell the audience 'I am an actor', but later, he gradually relaxed, and he became a bit more relaxed!

Chen Minghao in "The Long Season" obviously let it go...

Therefore, in "The Long Season", the scenes of the trio are the best!
Ahem...

……

"Being Famous" is Shen Xudong's first film directed by himself, and there is no need for any press conference at all...

With the lineup here, it must be a good movie!

But no, Shen Xudong is the winner of the Oscar for Best Screenplay, and the leading actors are Chen Daoming, Ge You, Jiang Wenle, Feng Xiaogang, Zhang Guoli, Hu Jun...

This... Is it going to wipe out the Beijing circle?

Various speculations and reports in the media...

What if you don't develop a press conference?
No way, Shen Xudong accepted an exclusive interview.

"The plot...it can be regarded as the suspense type of the Republic of China, but everything is in one house..."

"It was an idea I came up with when I was opening a script... The story started when a big boss named Lu Ziye gathered seven people from different film-related occupations to hold a script meeting..."

"The identities of the guests are different. Actress, reporter, famous director, actor, martial artist, consultant... The script is a murder case, and Lu Ziye got the right to adapt it..."

"I just think this script is good, very suitable for beginners like me..."

"...No, our behind-the-scenes lineup is very strong, and there is basically no possibility of failure!"

"For a movie with a very simple script, 20 days is enough to complete the filming. It is not a big problem to go online on National Day."

"Actors... I first approached Mr. Chen Daoming, and then I gave the script to Uncle Ge and director Feng Xiaogang. They were both very interested, and then I approached Jiang Wen, Zhang Guoli, Hu Jun...Wu Jing joined because There is a martial artist..."

"Shen Teng... is an actor I discovered when I was watching Happy Twist drama. I think he is very suitable for playing that kind of simple and innocent role!"

"Ms. Gong Li... I also read the script and liked this character to join..."

"The remuneration... is a friendly price. We shoot first, and we will talk about splitting the bill after it is released!"

Gong Li is indeed a friendly price: only received 200 million film remuneration...

The unit is RMB...

——After the Oscar, she is already the top actress in the Chinese-speaking region.

If it is really based on the market price, she is currently paid 800 million US dollars for foreign language films...

The theme of "Rising Fame" is not very willing to be exported overseas, and at most it will be released in Southeast Asia...

"To be honest, I have never been interested in shooting so-called blockbuster costume movies. If I make a blockbuster movie, I will definitely make a sci-fi movie!"

"Now the market conditions are not mature enough, wait another three years..."

……

At the beginning of May, "Fu Yao Baiyu Town" was released, and Shen Xudong continued to be the producer...

The producers are Tang Ren, Tianmei Media and three theaters. The cost of this movie is close to 800 million!

The box office is not bad. It was released at the same time as "Spider-Man 3", and it actually won 1400 million box office during the May Day...

It also shows that there is definitely a market for folk horror thrillers.

As long as the story is not too nonsensical, the income is quite stable - Southeast Asia and Japanese benzene copyrights are selling well...

Shen Xudong didn't pay much attention to this movie, he was just a name...

In the past few days, his attention has been completely focused on "Fame and Li Wan" - after all, it is his first film as a director.

Although the behind-the-scenes team is very professional, but... many things still need to be done by yourself.

Dismantling of scripts, budgeting, schedules...

The most troublesome thing is the schedule.

In addition to the shooting time and location, the most important thing in the schedule is the participating actors...

You have to add the actor's schedule into it, you have arranged for him to play, but what if he doesn't have time that day?

Shen Xudong is not Director Chen, so he directly fired the actor who cut the show...

Actors also have to make money to eat.

Chen Daoming, Shen Teng, and Wu Jing are okay, Feng Xiaogang, and Uncle Ge are also quite free - the filming of "Mobile Phone 2" went very smoothly, but Hu Jun and Jiang Wen are quite busy!

Hu Jun is filming the TV series "Zhu Yuanzhang" and needs to coordinate the shooting time with the crew.

Jiang Wen is the most troublesome - "The Sun Also Rises" is still in the final stage!

Of course, on the phone, he said 'on call'...

Let’s be content, Shen Xudong is quite lucky—there is no shortage of funds, and what’s more, all he meets are reliable, and there won’t be someone who thinks he’s responsible for the art and forces him to talk to you about so-called film techniques.

He even took the initiative to ask Zhang Li for his opinion, and the latter would only say a few words of real thoughts when asked urgently...

Very good, a mature photographer, no matter how big the name is, he will not interfere with the work of the director.

……

In the company, Shen Xudong was checking the information, and Chen Xi came over to report the work:
"..."Life Events" will be released in late June. We have considered "Bourne Shadow 6" and "Die Hard 3" in June, and "Transformers" in mid-July..."

"whatever…"

""Taken 2" and "Crazy" are scheduled for August?"

"Can…"

"Don't you look at the movie schedule?"

Shen Xudong raised his head and glanced at her: "Sister, I'm busy preparing for "Being Famous". You can make arrangements for these things yourself. Besides, haven't I already agreed?"

"...Isn't it up to you to make the final decision... and "Life Events" is also the opening film of this year's Shanghai Film Festival..."

"Wait a minute!" Shen Xudong called a pause: "What time?"

"The opening of the Shanghai International Film Festival...should be on June 6th..."

"Oh, then I have time to pass."

No need to think about it, "Rising Fame" will be launched on May 5th, and it will be completed on June 10st...

In the later stage, I may have to find actors to make an embarrassing "The Murder of the Three Elders", um, a black and white movie, and give it to the audience as an easter egg.

That would take less than a day!
"Then I've added this to your schedule..."

Shen Xudong nodded, and Chen Xi said again: "A few days ago you told me that you wanted an assistant, and I arranged three for you..."

"...Three? It's not that much...I'll let him help me sort out my schedule and book some tickets..."

"Who will be interviewed, who will be left in the end, you decide by yourself!"

"... anyone?"

"Two women and one man... the man's name is Guo Fan, the two women, one is Yin Ruoxin and the other is... Su Lun..."

Shen Xudong thought he heard it wrong: "Who? Guo Fan?"

"Yeah...it seems to be studying law."

"...You let them go to Huairou for three days..."

　There is something wrong today, four more tomorrow
