Entertainment starting from 1 yuan

Chapter 141
Guo Fan felt that since he was confirmed to direct this movie, things have become more and more painful.

Is such that.

In 2012, China Film Group bought the rights to "The Wandering Earth", along with "Supernova Era" and "Micro Era".

The most famous "Three-Body Problem" was bought earlier.

Some... speculator.

However, when China Film Group bought the copyright, it was not so speculative. It wanted to resell it, or just lost money.
In fact, there is no money for it.

At that time, Liu was only well-known in the science fiction circle, and the overall public awareness was weak.

Therefore, China Film Group bought this copyright mainly because China Film Group decided to try the production of science fiction movies many years ago.Sci-fi themes are a blank space in the current domestic film market. They feel that it is necessary and responsible to try the creation of such themes-of course, this is also a blue ocean and an undeveloped field.

Nowadays, domestic movies have indeed taken many aspects.

But hard sci-fi is really rare.

However, domestic audiences do not have such seeds in their hearts. From the Shenzhou-03 spacecraft that first entered space in 16, to the successful launch of the Tiangong-[-] space laboratory in [-] last year.

So there are actually sci-fi feelings in China.

Moreover, among the three copyrights, "The Wandering Earth" was selected as the first filming, because its basic setting has a strong feeling of Chinese people:

In foreign science fiction, once something happens to the earth, it is to escape from the earth.

Take some spaceship, arrive at some new planet, and then develop and occupy it.
But the feelings of the Chinese people are different.

Our unique family and country feelings can come up with the idea of ​​leaving with the earth: don’t care about science or not, after all, this is science fiction and not science, so this kind of thing immediately moved the senior management of China Film Group, and also moved Guo Fan.

Two years ago, he got a call.

He is the boss of China Film Group.

Just a straight sentence: "Are you willing to make "The Wandering Earth"? We have invited several well-known directors at home and abroad, but they are not willing to make it. I heard that you are very interested in science fiction films, and we want you to try it. But, filming If it doesn't work, replace it."

They planned to invite them before, such as Alfonso, Cameron, Rodriguez, Spielberg who are well-known abroad
But people either have their own drama to film.

Or, not interested.

Several major domestic directors were sought out, but they were also rejected outright.Their biggest reason is: China does not yet have the ability to make good science fiction films.

Under such circumstances, China Film Group simply does it by itself,

Find a reliable director to control it.

So, let’s talk about that time again, my country is sending a group of young directors to Hollywood to learn advanced experience, and Guo Fan is in the second batch.Ning Hao, Xiao Yang, Cheng Sicheng and Lu Yang went with him.
Behind, these other directors.

Everyone knows it too.

He is not bad either, and the box office of "You at the Same Table" filmed in 14 was also good.It stands to reason that it might be to shoot this kind of youth film first to stabilize the foundation, and it happened that this kind of theme was also popular in those two years.

However, he still took the job.

Even if there is no firm commitment from China Film Group and he may be removed at any time, Guo Fan is willing and people around him also support:

He himself likes science fiction.

When he switched from law to film making, he had long thought about making science fiction films, but unfortunately he didn't have the conditions.

Now, with hundreds of millions of investment in movies handed over to him, it's hard not to be tempted.

Then, it was a two-year preparation.

Because there is no assembly line like Hollywood sci-fi in China, apart from learning from foreign experience, many things have to be done by ourselves.

So day and night, if one difficulty is solved that day, two more may arise.But today, the difficulties in film are no longer a big deal: opening up roads across the mountains and building bridges when encountering waters are really the careers I love and the rare opportunities given by China Film, so it goes without saying.

The most difficult thing is actually two words:
trust.

"Is there still no news? I really don't plan to go back."

In the shed, Guo Fan dialed the phone with pain all over his face, but there was still no answer on the other side.

This isn't the first time I've been let off the hook.

Their project is not very trusted in many aspects, and they feel that it is unreliable, so they are not optimistic about it, and there is no follow-up.

That's right, it's normal. After the success of the current domestic trend, everyone flocks to shoot something.This is the case now, and it will be the same in the next few years. When patriotic films become popular, make patriotic ones, and when Dangai becomes popular, make Dangai.
But few people rush to be the first to eat crabs.

So there is no doubt that even though I used my face to invite a few domestic first- and second-tier niche students, in the end it was originally said that there would be two
And now, one of them is also releasing pigeons.

"If you don't reply, you won't reply. It's okay, if you beg them at this time, then they will only regret it."

Next to her is Wang Jinghua, known as Sister Hua.

As the first generation of well-known agents in China, she has a unique vision and has brought out a large number of well-known stars.Even when he led a group of people to change jobs, the leading large film and television company in China at that time was looked down upon and thought to be going bankrupt.

Such a capable person signed Guo Fan under his banner as early as 12 years ago.She also had her encouragement and help in filming "The Wandering Earth", of course, including today's behavior of widely posting heroic posts:
If it wasn't for Wang Jinghua personally sending invitations, most of the time, these invitations would not be handed over to the tables of these first- and second-tier niche students—of course, even if they were on the table, it would be as if there were many people who didn't see it.

Apart from whether you like it or not, how much do you pay for this play?

In terms of actors, the most famous Wu Mengda currently invited by the crew is 20.

So when the leading actor gave a price of one million yuan, he didn't understand what celebrities he planned to hire based on the salary, but relied on drawing cakes: try to describe how great these things are, and how good the benefits will be in the future.

It's a pity that these traffic is now at its hottest and exploding, and there are too many cakes to eat every day.

It depends on whether it suits your appetite.

After Wang Jinghua finished speaking, she sighed a little: "It seems that Han Sheng is more interested now."

She was not surprised when she thought of this.

Because she had heard before that in order to star in his first film, Han Sheng only received a salary of more than 100 million yuan, and even invested a lot of money in order to make that film well.

Now, I heard that he has no news of a price increase.

Even "Legend of Sword and Fairy" has exploded in popularity: It is no exaggeration, Han Sheng's recent TV drama salary is already in the eight figures, and it depends on the shooting time.

Not to mention that his fans increased overnight, the price of commercial endorsements doubled, and even a few members of the negative vote band were invited to the show again.
I really responded to that sentence:
As long as Han Sheng is still so popular, those former band members will always have something to eat.

Especially the one who also acted in "Sword" with him, just graduated.But it is said that the recent market is also very good. Under such circumstances, Han Sheng is willing to come, which means that he should really take this set.

"Not only do you want to, but also can you?"

Guo Fan frowned, but still said, "Did you tell him about the difficulty of our shooting?"

The expected starting time of the crew is in May.

This shooting time was the hottest time, and they also needed to shoot in a studio wearing heavy equipment.In other words, shooting conditions will definitely be tougher.

Can he really bear it?
Seeing Han Sheng's fairy-like appearance in the costume drama, it's really hard to imagine him doing these things.

Maybe he still has to consider pure rookies. In the past two days, he received a photo from the producer, saying that he is a newcomer who just graduated from Chinese opera. He looks a little ruffian, which is a bit interesting.

"Then you really underestimate him. He is able to make a name for himself in the music industry without a professional background, and he is a successful cross-border actor in one go. This kind of person cannot be treated with common sense."

Then Wang Jinghua interrupted his thinking:

"I saw the stills of "Wolf Warrior 2", and their shooting environment is not much better than ours. And when they were shooting, they were still outdoors, and it was also a big summer."

She clapped her hands and said with a smile: "So actually, I think there is a pretty good chance that he will come. After all, except that he likes it, I can't find any other reason why Han Sheng is willing to come and audition."

"It makes sense."

Guo Fan continued to be serious: "Actually, I also saw his scarf, and I shared a lot of things about the three-body problem before."

Han Sheng's scarf is used by himself and his team, so in addition to the advertisement, there will be some sharing of his life.

The most important type, in the early days, was mainly to clock in various delicacies. When I was busy, I started to record the program, shoot the scene, and once published a screenshot of my five kills: Although the name was erased, he forgot, this game Can not only play by yourself.

The game ID was soon picked up by someone. Fortunately, he is still very civilized and has never eaten any ban package
But to get down to business, after confirming that this thing was indeed posted by himself, rather than setting up a person who "loves reading", Guo Fan said:
"What will we talk about then? What if he is not suitable."

Wang Jinghua gave him a slightly strange look, and said speechlessly, "It's inappropriate? There's nothing inappropriate about that."

She turned around and sat upright, patted his forehead with the script, and said earnestly: "From now on, you will remember this point for me. This point, whether it is the next audition or the media interview afterward, you will always remember it." To say so."

"Han Sheng is the first choice you want most. He is the most suitable candidate in your heart."

"He was able to appear in this film regardless of salary and difficult conditions, which is a positive effort for the development of my country's film science fiction industry, and he has also set a successful example among young actors."

"This." Guo Fan was rather worried.

It's not that he can't say these words, but is it a bit false?He said: "People may not believe it either."

"I don't ask him to believe it, you believe it, and the media believe it."

When Wang Jinghua asked him to say this, it was not just flattering, but adding a "name" - Han Sheng was willing to act, but the Shanhaishiji behind him did not do charity.

It is said that last year when he was very popular, he accepted "Longing for Life". Although the result was good, it was also an unexpected situation.Therefore, Shanhai Century will never let its new generation of artists be so easy to take over unstable projects again.

Unless Han Sheng's will is really strong.

She doesn't count on this point, so they can't give "benefits", so they start with "name".

"what do you mean"

"His behavior doesn't care about the interests, and then he helps science fiction movies, which is worthy of our bragging."

Wang Jinghua took it for granted.

Give Han Sheng one after another high hats, don't be too many.At that time, it may be erected
"." Guo Fan paused, and at this moment, he suddenly realized: This senior manager is really good at it, and even if she has a little hope, she will work hard to expand it.

And it doesn't cost a single penny.

What else could Guo Fan say? Even if he knew that many things were uncertain, he still couldn't refuse.Besides, it sounded like Han Sheng was really good at it, so he said, "Okay! Then I'll make an appointment with him soon?"

"It's not you who decides him, it's he who decides you."

Wang Jinghua shook her head and emphasized again: "Really, you just give me the chance. Seeing that he is a little bit tempted, take the initiative to make him sign the contract! At least a verbal promise must be agreed."

"But you're not talking about his company." Guo Fan hesitated.

"rest assured."

Wang Jinghua showed a subtle smile: "I've already thought about it for you, so you don't have to worry about these details."

"Not just this, I have warmed up everything that can be used for you. You must strive to do your best..."

At 3:[-] p.m., Han Sheng arrived at the interview site.

He also just came over from a press conference, Shanhai Century's new business category, that is, web dramas.Seeing the development potential of this, the company finally formally established relevant departments to carry out operations.

It was the first time for Han Sheng to participate in this kind of activity.

Because this kind of event is attended by the company's signature artists, and then supports the company.

Obviously, Han Sheng is now qualified.

After "Fairy Sword" was launched, the Douban score has reached 8.6 points, and it is still on the rise, and the ratings have finally broken the average of 2.
Needless to say, online broadcasts are now upwards of 4 million every day: Although it is still far behind compared to "Three Lives", to be honest, "Sword" is the statistics of dual network platforms.
If you really want to check the whole network, it will definitely not be low.

So in fact, it was an all-round success, and the rival "Three Lives" has always been bouncing under 1% ratings.

To put it more, in fact, this is not only the reason for the comparison, but also the fact that the show was not so popular before, and the ratings only increased in the later period.It's just that "Fairy Sword" aggravated this situation, or in other words, made the situation worse.

When the market saw it, it exploded even more:

What?
Yang Function's big investment drama was defeated by Han Sheng's "Fairy Sword", so what else is there to say?

The influx of capital was crazy, and Han Sheng was already under pressure within the company alone.Several books with hundreds of millions of investments were directly thrown at him, not to mention off-screen, Zhang Ziyi officially sent him an olive branch:
The first TV series she starred in, "Emperor's Industry", invited him to come.

Fortunately, what Han Sheng signed was not a rookie contract.

There are still many independent parts of him, and he also rejected the temptation of some senior executives of the company to upgrade him to the A-level contract:

Just kidding, it shouldn't be a small loss.

But in the end, even if he can reject a lot, he is definitely not like before: Songs are originally released as soon as they want, anyway, Shanhai Century is not mainly making music.

But in terms of film and television, the company really cares.

Are you specific?
Can't overwhelm Han Sheng, can't you overwhelm Jiang Xixi?

"Han Sheng, do you really think this movie is good? I have to confirm with you once, maybe what I said that day was not clear enough, this character is not only said to be a human design, but also the type of this movie is rare, the director is even more For a newcomer, the investment is only over 1 million.”

"More than 1 million, are you sure?"

Han Sheng was walking in a hurry, when he heard this, he couldn't help but slow down.

Jiang Xixi nodded and said: "Yes, I'm sure, their investment is too little. The company, I hope you choose carefully, so at least I will tell you all the risks."

".There is risk in this investment."

However, Han Sheng only slowed down for a while, and then continued to walk in quickly.

Yes, how can more than 1 million investment be enough?
It probably won't be long before additional investment is required.Hey, it seems that it's time for my Boss Han to make money again. How much money do I have in savings?Probably not enough
Ouch, it seems that the plan to buy a house will be put on hold for a while.

Stay in a hotel and stay in a hotel.

Just as he was thinking, he heard hurried footsteps, and then saw a group of people coming out to greet him.

The leader was a middle-aged man wearing glasses and a suit, panting slightly, and said with a slightly joyful mood: "Oh, Xiao Han, please tell me in advance that you are coming soon, so we can wait for you at the door Well."

After speaking, he took a few steps forward and walked this way.

"No, no, boss Song has everything on his plate, so there's no need to bother with this kind of thing."

Han Sheng also took a few steps. The person in front of him was none other than Song Ge, the chairman of BJ Culture: Why is he here?And the key is to come over to greet me, this is a big boss
Although he had doubts in his heart, he hurriedly said, "Boss Song is here today."

"Oh, we also invested in this play recently, it's pretty good."

At this time, the two parties had already gathered, and Song Ge smiled: "These good plays and actors, our company has always been very accurate in picking them, just like when you were filming "Wolf Warrior 2", I thought you must be a good actor." Actor. No, once "Sword of Heaven" aired, it became a big hit!"

BJ Culture also voted for "Wolf Warrior 2", and he also played a guest role in it, so he naturally knows Han Sheng.

Han Sheng subconsciously said, "No, you're being polite."

If he had doubts just now, he absolutely has no doubts now: this is definitely not a chance encounter, the other party is here for him.

He grinned and was about to say something.

Who knows, the person next to him took the initiative to interrupt: "Hello, Han Sheng."

She was a middle-aged woman with short hair, she didn't look young, and she was dressed casually and ordinary.It doesn't look like a character, but this time he can stand beside Song Ge and intervene in the conversation between the two. If it is a young man, it may be Hu. At this age, it is probably not easy.

Han Sheng glanced aside, trying to get some hints from Jiang Xixi's eyes.

Then I saw that she was very nervous.
Because the middle-aged woman on the opposite side still had a polite face and said, "It's a pleasure meeting you for the first time. I've heard about you for a long time. I'm director Guo Fan's manager, Wang Jinghua, and this is my business card."

Han Sheng took it, and said in a little surprise, "You are the very famous manager Wang Jing Kao Economics."

He had also heard of the other party's reputation.

"You don't have to be so polite, just call me Sister Hua."

Wang Jinghua laughed and said, "I'm just an ordinary broker, I just entered the industry a little earlier than everyone else."

She is an excellent agent. With so many years of experience, she knows how to deal with people very well.She had already gotten to know Han Sheng carefully, so she immediately continued: "But speaking of it, I have been in the industry for so long, but I have been mistaking you recently."

"Oh? What's going on." Han Sheng didn't understand, so he could only answer.

Wang Jinghua's expression became more relaxed, and she said:

"I didn't expect you to be more handsome than on TV, and you have a good temperament. It seems that the previous script may not be able to bring out your full connotation. It's a pity. You should have more opportunities and better choices. of."

"No, I still have a lot of shortcomings."

Han Sheng sensed something was wrong, but he came to talk about movies today.Just thinking about ending the conversation, he said, "Sister Hua, you are welcome, but I still have something to do today, maybe I have time"

"of course."

Sister Hua straightened her clothes, glanced at him, and said with a smile: "Just now there is my contact information on the business card, we can chat about this matter at any time, you can call anytime"

"I see, why don't we talk today!"

Then, Jiang Xixi stood up from beside Han Sheng and said with a smile: "Speaking of which, I really want to learn from Sister Hua and talk about things.

Han Sheng has been really busy recently, why don't I just chat with Sister Hua first? "

Here it comes, finally here it comes.

Also, Han Sheng is so famous, there is no way that no one will come to poach him.However, this is the first time that he is so famous, and more importantly, he comes to poach people so blatantly.
It's a little too much.

Although you are a senior, Shanhai is not a vegetarian.

Jiang Xixi's eyes were a little displeased, and she stood up immediately.She admitted that she was ignored by the other party the whole time, which was more uncomfortable than talking to her.However, Jiang Xixi thought that the other party would pester her and ignored her, so she just waited to contact Han Sheng later.

Unexpectedly, Wang Jinghua blinked her eyes: "Okay, Na Xixi, let's have a coffee here?"

"Okay!" Jiang Xixi paused, but continued to smile.

Anyway, Han Sheng has already arrived.

It's up to you to see what you'll do after a while!It didn't matter that the audition was a small matter, but Han Sheng must not be poached, otherwise she would basically lose her own value, and the company would be doomed as well.

emmm, well, it's still a little tender, this trick is not for nothing - is Wang Jinghua really planning to poach someone?Or, is it really just such an arrogant and silly poaching in person?As soon as the two "plastic sisters" left here, someone appeared over there.

She looks a little young, but I can't say how young.

It belongs to the kind with a tender face, but with a beard, which looks like a baby face.

This person also stepped forward and said with a smile, "Hi Han Sheng, I'm Guo Fan, the director of this movie. I'm glad you can come this time. Then, shall we walk and chat?"

　Thank you for the 100-point reward for writing this book and reading it yourself.
