The days of filming in Azure Star

Chapter 119 A New Beginning

As the days pass, the sky outside the window becomes brighter and brighter day by day.

Because the hot summer has come to an end.

A big man named Qiu is about to sweep away the tail of his former steward.

Take office immediately.

One night more than a month ago, Xiao Shen was happily entertaining himself at home.

But suddenly there was a sound of "dong dong, dong dong" from the house upstairs.

The vibration upstairs made him think it was an earthquake and he was scared to death.

Later, when I regained my composure, I realized that it was definitely not an earthquake.

Looking at this posture, it is obvious that someone is upstairs?
Didn't Sister Ning run away to go abroad?Could it be that he was robbed?

Xiao Shen looked around, and his eyes fell on a kitchen knife in the kitchen.

Picking up the kitchen knife, Xiao Shen quietly walked out the door.

What appeared in front of him was Tang Bao leading his brothers in a heated relocation movement.

Xiao Shen's eyes widened when he saw this scene, he was so shocked that he couldn't speak.

From that day on, Xiao Shen came to Tang Bao's house every day, and once had dinner at Tang Bao's house.

Xiao Shen was impressed by Da Hanhan's craftsmanship.

He stays at the door of Tang Bao's house more punctually than Gouzi every day.

Tang Bao now gets annoyed when he sees Xiao Shen. This guy has now turned Tang Bao's house into a canteen.

Come here for lunch every day.

Since moving, the store where Tang Bao lives now is much closer to his studio.

Every day at noon, Zhen Qiangqiang would prepare a meal and send it to Tang Bao.

Then, the direct consequence of this is that the people in the studio don't order takeaway anymore.

Waiting for Tang Bao's meal time to eat every day.

Dahanhan's workload has doubled several times.

But he didn't have any complaints at all, and he was as cheerful as before every day.

The film project is progressing very well.

Xin Shuang went abroad to meet Wei Bo.

Originally, Tang Bao should have personally discussed this matter.

But Tang Bao didn't have a visa to go to America.

So it is not possible to go to America immediately.

This matter was handed over to Xin Shuang, for which Xin Shuang still blamed Tang Bao sourly.

Tell him why he would leave everything to me.

Tang Bao could only comfort Xin Shuang with an apologetic smile.

I can't help it, are you blaming me?
I'm not like you group of people who spend their days abroad.

I wasn't ready to be an international superstar.

So things like visas, I didn't think about it at all before.

Xin Shuang took Lu Yue's child with her on the plane the day before yesterday.

It’s not that I need the company of others in a foreign country, it’s just that the child Lu Yue is clamoring to go together.

Xin Shuang was so quarreled that he couldn't help it, so she agreed to let him follow.

Apart from some non-staff personnel, only two brothers, Zuo Mo and Ji Yuxing, are left in Tang Bao's studio.

With a wave of his hand, Tang Bao, the shopkeeper, arranged most of the affairs of the studio to the two of them.

In the original plot of the movie "Extreme Thief", the protagonist is a foreigner.

But now this movie is directed by a mainland director, produced by a mainland producer, and the protagonists are people from other countries, which is a bit inappropriate.

Tang Bao was thinking about whether to change the identity of the protagonist.

For example, if the identity of a Chinese is set, the protagonist followed his family to settle abroad in the early years, but later due to some reasons.

As a result, the protagonist fell in love with extreme sports.

Then the main plot unfolded.

On the personal side, there must not be too much space, and it is enough to describe two scenes in it.

It's not the original plot, it's just for the sake of reasoning, so the parts that can be deleted have to be cut to avoid problems in the movie.

Casting is also very important.

It is settled that the protagonist is a Chinese.

Tang Bao was in a bit of trouble again.

Because he basically doesn't know the actors in the circle.

This is very embarrassing.

Tang Bao discussed this issue with Ma Zhenyu.

Ma Zhenyu gave the best way.

Since you don't have a suitable candidate in mind, just openly choose the role.

As soon as Tang Bao heard this, it was also the same reason, so he started to arrange the public recruitment of actors.

In the Chinese film industry, an investment of several hundred million is considered extremely large.

The characters in this kind of movie are basically pre-determined.

Ordinary people have no chance at all.

This time, the news that the crew of "Extreme Thief" publicly chose the leading role was released.

Instantly caused an upsurge in the circle.

A salted fish is still a salted fish even if he turns over, but you can't stop a salted fish from having his own thoughts.

The matter had been brewing for two days. Not only was the studio's phone ringing off the hook, but the number of emails in the mailbox was simply unreasonable.

Director Che called Tang Bao to ask if there was any opportunity to cooperate in the episode of the movie, so he didn't say anything.

Even Teacher He, who is far away in southern Shonan, called to ask if there were any suitable roles for young people.

Tang Bao is very clear about Teacher He's character.

A well-known good guy in the entertainment industry.

He will always support his favorite juniors.

Tang Bao also took a lot of care from him back then.

But in this movie, there is really no suitable opportunity, unless you are willing to play tricks and mix up a line or two.

Even the protagonist makes way for the plot, and there is no place for the supporting characters to survive.

What's more, in addition to the protagonist, most of the actors in this drama will be actors from the Americas, and there are actually not many opportunities in China.

Tang Bao politely rejected Teacher He, and promised to cooperate if there is an opportunity in the future.

Teacher He smiled and said it didn't matter, he was just asking.

Because of the casting, the company specially transferred a group of people to help Tang Bao sort out the affairs.

Of course, these people have to bear the cost of the crew.

There is one thing to say, anyway, how to calculate and how to calculate.

The future salary structure of these people is that when the crew is working, the crew will bear their original salary plus a travel allowance.

If the composition of the funds is all funded by [Orange Light Entertainment].

Then the travel subsidy does not exist.

I was originally working for the company, so what kind of subsidy do I want?

Of course, in the end, the project achieved a lot, and the company made money from it, so those who participated will not be treated badly.

Everyone will get a big red envelope.

Tang Bao accounted for 5000 million of the funding for "Extreme Thief".For the part under the body, the company took a 30.00% share and put it on the market.

In this regard, the default rule in the circle is that as long as you are willing to contribute [-]%, you can.

Of course, this [-]% share cannot be used as a bargaining chip in a private transaction, it must be purchased clearly at the trading center.

The exchange will reasonably allocate each desired share according to its own mechanism.

About 12.00% of the part that the company puts in the transaction center is about thirteen.

The rest has been turned into a transaction of interest with other film and television companies.

It is not only a show of goodwill, but also a deepening of the cooperative relationship between the two parties.

The share of Tang Bao's "The Thief" is relatively small.

Because many investors will have some requirements for actors and scripts, and like to dictate the film.

On this aspect, Tang Bao made it clear from the beginning that he must put an end to it.

So most of the investment in this film is fully supported by my own company!
In another movie "The Great Wall" produced by Tang Bao, director Zhang Zhicheng did not have the same treatment as Tang Bao.

With a capital budget of 3 million, Tang Bao's capital plus the company's capital budget, the total is only [-] million, accounting for half of the total investment.

The slogan "Create Mainland Fantasy IP" was shouted out.

Capital rushed up like crazy.

The script Tang Bao came up with, plus gimmicks and a big investment in the movie itself.

Suddenly, the popularity of this movie was raised to a higher level.

The company took the opportunity to announce that the theme song of the movie was co-written by Xia Qianqian and Tang Bao.

The two joined forces again outside of the competition, attracting the attention of major capitals.

The current Tang Baojia Xia Qianqian.Equal to heat plus flow.

When many companies traded with [Orange Light Entertainment], they offered conditions that the company could not refuse and gave up a lot of shares.

Some large-scale capital even announced that they will add another [-] million yuan to build the pinnacle of Chinese movies.

Tang Baoyi heard the company ask him whether this matter is feasible.

He immediately jumped up in fright.

My God, it's a different time and space, why the plot line still develops like this.

Mr. Xiao, no, I can't accept this investment!Tang Bao has a clear heart, the bigger the investment, the harder it is to recover the cost.

Originally a production of [-] million yuan, if the work is polished carefully, it is not that there is no chance to make money.

But if you have no idea and throw money into it, it would be strange if this movie doesn't hit the streets.

Originally, the total box office was only over one billion, but now the total investment is going to be [-] billion.

Still counting on making money, being able to recover the cost is already a blessing from the ancestors.

Tang Bao resolutely let Mr. Xiao dispel this idea.

Xiao Yuntian was also very embarrassed. He said he was thinking about it and hung up the phone on Tang Bao.

"Alas, money blinds one's eyes!"

Fortunately, the agreement signed with the company stated that "Extreme Thief" is completely controlled by itself.

And this kind of subject matter is not popular.

It was entirely because of Ma Zhenyu that Tang Bao received this huge investment.

Compare the popularity of the crew of "The Great Wall" in the capital circle.

Tang Bao's side is much deserted.

Of course, this is just a comparison with "The Great Wall". The production of "Extreme Thief" is already very good in every aspect.

When Tang Bao announced that he would only choose one protagonist, and the supporting roles would be played by people from other countries.

The enthusiasm of many people has been reduced a lot.

Originally, I planned to try my luck here because I couldn't get into "The Great Wall". As a result, the crew here might be even more difficult to get into than "The Great Wall".

Said it was an open casting call.

But in the case of only choosing one protagonist, it is estimated that many actors with big capital behind them may not be able to enter!
