The trainee starts by splitting bricks with bare hands

"As for 3A masterpieces, if they don't sell well in China, they will be sold abroad. As long as the quality is good enough, we won't be afraid that no one will buy them! And we are linked with movies and animations, and we have our own fan base." Han Lan laughed.

Everyone looked at each other, but still insisted on further investigation and investigation before making a decision.

Han Lan didn't rush them, and he didn't need a single vote to approve it. Anyway, he was not in a hurry to develop the game yet.

After all, Tomahawk Pictures and Tomahawk Animation have just built the Liaozhai Universe and the Gods and Demons Universe, and currently only a Chinese Ghost Story is out.

The Tomahawk game proposal failed, but the Liaozhai Universe proposal passed first. After all, there is a successful case of A Chinese Ghost Story before, and the executives still believe that it can make money.

Therefore, Tomahawk Films' fourth film of this year, Painted Skin, was soon approved to start filming, with an investment of 25 billion, and Wang Shenzhi's team was responsible for the production.

And Zhu Xian 2 is naturally still directed by Zhao Cheng.

Although Zhao Cheng is not from Tomahawk Entertainment, but with the success of the previous Jade Immortal, he is still very willing to take on this drama.

As for another war-themed film of Tomahawk Pictures, they did not find a director from outside to take charge, but handed it over to Pang Jun, a newcomer director under Tomahawk Entertainment.

Pang Jun and Qi Shan are completely new directors with two approaches.

Qi Shan belongs to the genius type. During college, he relied on the films he directed to win awards at the College Student Film Festival. He has strong professional skills and directing experience. After graduation, he took the initiative to find Han Lan and won the award. Arrived at the director position of Huo Yuanjia's movie.Since then, he has become a blockbuster and has become a leader among the new generation of directors in China, and is currently the most famous director in Huaguo Kung Fu films.

However, Pang Jun's career as a director was not as smooth as Qi Shan's. His talent was not as strong as Qi Shan's. Before he joined Tomahawk Entertainment, he had mixed in many crews.After working all the way from the scene notes, I managed to get a position as an assistant director, but in the end I was kicked out because of conflicts with the director.

After walking around, I finally sent my resume to Tomahawk Entertainment, joined Tomahawk Entertainment and then continued to work as an assistant director under Wang Shenzhi.

Han Lan only noticed it when he was filming the Bund in the early stage. After so many years of training, his strength is still good, and he has stayed in some war film crews before coming to Tomahawk Entertainment, and he is also very experienced in war films.

So this time I was going to make a movie Forgotten, and it happened that Tomahawk Entertainment ran out of directors, so I brought him up.

Pang Jun is actually very lucky to be like this, forgetting that although this film is only a small project in Tomahawk Films, it also has an investment of 8000 million!

Last year, the average investment in domestic films was around 1000 million. This was driven by many blockbuster films with an investment of over [-] million. There are many films with millions or even hundreds of thousands of dollars each year, which is also the outlet for most directors.

An investment of 8000 million yuan is beyond the imagination of many directors!

Chapter 0767

Following Qi Shan and Wang Shenzhi, Pan Jun also left Tomahawk Films and started the pre-production of the film, including actor auditions and the formulation of shooting plans.

The movie "Oblivion" is expected to start filming in March.

And "Zhu Xian 2" has also been negotiated with Zhao Chengwen, the original crew will create it, but Han Lan is relatively busy at this stage, so they need to make preparations for the time being and start shooting first.

Han Lan arranged the company's affairs for the time being, and went to Liangxi City with Xia Ningxuan and a team of assistants.

……

Liangxi film and television base.

This is currently one of the largest film and television bases in Huaguo. When it was first built, it was intended to be a movie sanctuary in Huaguo, but it didn't become a movie sanctuary in the end.

The movie industry in Huaguo is different from that in Beacon Country. It is very scattered and there is no so-called holy place for movies.

Of course Han Lan and Xia Ningxuan didn't come here to make a movie this time. The program group of "National Rhythm New Song Concert" at station 233 rented a retro courtyard here for program recording.

Tomahawk Entertainment is one of the main partners of this show. Han Lan will join this show as the host. After Han Lan joins, Xia Ningxuan has also received an invitation from the show team to come over to serve as the judge teacher of the show .

Han Lan and Xia Ningxuan have only participated in variety shows together in "Slaying the Dragon, Warrior". This time, there will indeed be a lot of highlights on the same screen again. After the promotional poster of "National Rhythm New Song Club" was released, the popularity is extremely high Not high enough.

With the joining of these two, the program team obviously has a lot of confidence when it comes to sponsorship. This time, many major domestic manufacturers have provided sponsorship for the program, and the funds are very abundant, so they dare to spend a lot of money and directly rent a courtyard. shoot.

In addition to Han Lan and Xia Ningxuan, there are three other judges who joined this variety show.

First of all, Xiao Yuchen came here. Although she is from a girl group, she has successfully transformed now. She has both strength and popularity, and it is more than enough to be a judge here.Of course, the main reason is that there is an interest relationship between Shuangmu Entertainment and the program group.

Bai Yu didn't come over, he was the host of "Slay the Dragon, Warrior" and had his own program to record.

Although the remaining two judges are not as popular as them, they are not small. One is the veteran singer of the national team, Mr. Deng Tao, and the other is the professor of Mingyue College, and Su Yuanming, an old acquaintance of Han Lan.These two were sent here on behalf of the academy, and they are both professional folk music and vocal teachers. The program team obviously wanted to highlight the difference between themselves and other music programs when they were invited over.

To put it bluntly, it is to make your program look more stylish.

Following the judges and teachers, the 49 contestants who passed the audition also arrived at the shooting site by bus.

Unlike Han Lan and the others, Han Lan and others basically only come to record during performances, and occasionally come to visit the set, and most of the time they are not here.

And if these players have no special circumstances and need to leave, they will live here for four months.

Among the 49 contestants, Tomahawk Entertainment accounted for eight of them, which is considered to have the most places among all participating entertainment companies.Followed by five people from Shuangmu Entertainment, three from Huaqi Entertainment, and only two from Shengshi.

Not to mention other small companies, it is already very good to have one person shortlisted.As a result, 26 of the remaining contestants were selected by the national audition, including school students, independent musicians, resident singers in bars, part-time singers, and cover singers. Anyway, there are people from all walks of life.

The most embarrassing thing for these entertainment companies is that many of them had interviewed with them before, but they were rejected for various reasons: not good-looking, not good-looking, too old...

In addition, there are those who signed a contract, but the contract was terminated because of lack of resources or disputes with the company.

There is a sense of "Avengers" déjà vu.

Moreover, the program team did not shy away from it at all, and specially added a note that special effects will be added in the later stage.That's the real thing to watch!

The 49 contestants got off the bus painted as an interstellar spaceship, and stood outside the gate of the courtyard together, looking at the quaint courtyard in front of them, they all exclaimed and looked around curiously.

The cameras are already on and shooting, and this is when amateurs and professionally trained entertainers are evident.

Most of the amateurs don't know the situation well, but the artists have already started to fight for the camera with various expressions.

At this time, director Zhong Zhen held up the microphone and spoke outside the camera:

"Welcome everyone to come to the recording site of our "National Rhyme New Song Club" through three rounds of auditions. In the next four months, you will receive training and assessment from the Yuefu here. In the end, only one person will stand out and win the championship."

The contestants also noticed the two words written on the gate plaque, it really is "Yuefu"!

Yuefu is an ancient music institution. This time "National Rhythm New Song Club" borrowed its setting, which fits the theme of the show: national rhyme and national style.

"Now, please enter the Yuefu one after the other. Xiaoqiu..."

As the director's voice fell, a little girl stood out from the crowd, raising her hands nervously.

"Please enter Yuefu."

"Oh, okay, then I'll go in first." Xiaoqiu said hello to the companions beside her, and trotted into the gate.

There is a shadow wall inside, so even if the door is open, the contestants can't see what's inside from the outside, maintaining a sense of mystery.

Seeing Xiao Qiu disappear from sight, just as the contestants were whispering among each other, they heard Xiao Qiu's screams coming from inside.

All the players outside stopped in fright.

"what's the situation?"
