Chapter 634: Running Away Again
"Okay, Sister Nansheng, then you think it's tomorrow morning, right?"
"Okay, okay, then I'll congratulate you tomorrow morning!"
"Haha, okay, bye-bye!"
He Xin had just hung up the phone, and Cheng Hao had already come up to him, his eyes widened, and his face was full of anticipation: "How about it, Director Xu Ke agreed?"
"Almost, the details will be discussed in detail. He Xin also couldn't hide his smile and said.
"Producer or director?"
"Director!"
"Wow!" Cheng Hao immediately cheered.
But then he was a little worried: "What about the Gao Dao over there? Didn't you already promise him!"
"No problem, Director Xu Ke agreed to co-direct with Brother Gao. I guess they must have asked Chen Guofu, and Director Chen still recognized Brother Gao's ability. Besides, Director Xu still has the movie "Women Are Not Bad" in his hand now, if he is really allowed to direct it alone, I am afraid he may not be able to find time...... Yo, I need to call Brother Gao to let me know. ”
He Xin said and hurriedly picked up his mobile phone again and called Uncle Gao Qun.
Although Lao Gao's previous request to find a reliable producer has not been implemented for a long time, the preparations for the crew, including the preliminary location survey, have already begun.
And Lao Gao is more freewheeling, for example, he just came back from Tianjin at the end of last month, He Xin wanted to invite him to dinner to talk about the progress of the preparatory work, but this guy stayed in the capital for less than two days, and then went to Dalian.
Most of "The Wind" are indoor scenes, which can be filmed in the studio, but there are two exterior scenes that are particularly crucial, after all, the so-called blockbuster must have big scenes to hold up.
One of them is the Double 10th Anniversary at the beginning. Originally, to shoot similar scenes of large scenes, Shanghai Chedun Film and Television City was the best choice.
But Lao Gao thinks that it has almost been filmed by the TV series, and the buildings there are not one-to-one restoration, but the miniature ones are not atmospheric enough. So he went around and found the cultural relics building area on Jiefang North Road in Tianjin, which was the pre-liberation concession area, and most of the buildings on both sides of the street were well-preserved historical buildings.
Another important exterior is Qiuzhuang, a huge manor built on the edge of the West Lake. In addition to the magnificent interior, the exterior is also important. At first, I was looking for a ready-made building, but I couldn't find a suitable one for a while.
Later, Lao Gao proposed to reflect the sense of crisis that Qiu Zhuang's life was hanging by a thread, so he simply chose to build Qiu Zhuang's exterior on a cliff surrounded by the sea on three sides.
Chen Guofu also helped to come up with ideas, since he wanted to rebuild the exterior, he simply built the appearance of Qiu Zhuang into the appearance of Hogwarts School of Witchcraft and Wizardry in the current popular "Harry Potter" series.
In the end, Lao Gao ran all over Qingdao, Beidaihe, and Dalian, and finally selected the back mountain of a small fishing village called Shichao in Dalian, which is close to this coastal road, this piece is full of steep rocks and cliffs, and the terrain is very steep.
The cost of setting in these two places alone, not counting the expenditure of the specific shooting, has been as high as five or six million, and it is very likely that tens of millions will not be able to stop in the end after all these location shootings are completed.
Because of the repeated increase in the budget, Lao Gao was also very anxious, and during this time, he was running around, and He Xin was worried that he would not be able to find others for a while.
Fortunately, after the phone was connected, Lao Gaoren was in the capital, and he was drinking with the finalized photographer Cao Yu. Although Xu Ke had already been angry with him before, he and Cao Yu were both very excited when they heard the news that Xu Ke finally agreed to join.
Although Xu Laowei has screwed up two big investments in succession, his whimsical, eclectic imagination and aesthetic film style is still very admirable.
Lao Gao has no opinion on the proposal of co-directing. At the beginning, he wanted to bring Chen Guofu in, and he thought about it this way, but now there is a Xu Ke who is bigger than Chen Guofu, which is exactly what he can't ask for. Romance
Lao Gao was still shouting on the phone with the strength of wine, this time he must learn two hands by Xu Ke's side, and prepare for the play "The Four Famous Catches" that he has been obsessing about.
"Brother Gao, I'll leave you here, after the completion of "The Wind", it doesn't matter if you lose or make money in the future. Anyway, I have received your love, if the Huayi brothers don't vote for you at that time, I will find a way to vote for you, and I promise to let you shoot this "Four Famous Catches"!"
"The Wind" is destined to succeed, if "The Wind" is successful, how can the Huang brothers not invest in him?
He Xin just said something cheap in advance. But Lao Gao was very excited when he heard it, because he knew that He Xin never bragged, and what he said was always a spittle and a nail, and it definitely counted.
"You have so much confidence in Brother Gao?" Cheng Hao felt that he was a little too good to Lao Gao.
"Do you think, Lao Gao used to be called 'the one who made documentaries', even if he made documentaries, he ......succeeded in "Thirteen Murders";
Then he made a movie for the first time, although it was very twisty and twisted, and he almost died, but in the end, "Tokyo Trial" not only did not lose, but also won the Huabiao Award.
Therefore, I think Brother Gao is actually a person with great luck, and I have absolute confidence in him at present!"
He Xin can't reveal the truth that he is the "king of understanding" with his girlfriend, so he can only use the excuse of metaphysics to fool. People always have superstitions, Rao is such a shrewd person as Cheng Hao, and when he analyzes it like this, it feels like this.
Seeing his girlfriend look thoughtful, he accepted the goods when he saw it, and changed the topic: "Oh, by the way, you told me before that Lao Wu was looking for you today, why is he looking for you?"
"What else can I do? Sister Hua is now clear that she wants to part ways, and the meaning of Lao Wu's words is nothing more than to let me change to Orange Sky 19!"
Speaking of this topic, Cheng Hao suddenly looked depressed.
Wang Jinghua suddenly left Huayi to join Orange Sky in 05, and now she has just turned three years and is going to leave again. To put it bluntly, it is nothing more than differences in ideas and entanglements of interests.
When Lao Wu's Orange Sky was just established, Wang Jinghua and her huge army of artists were urgently needed to help Orange Sky gain a firm foothold. But with the rise of Orange Sky in the past two years, the scene that once happened between Huayi and Wang Jinghua has been repeated again.
It's just that this time Lao Wu's food is even more ugly than that of the Huang brothers. At the end of last year, Orange Sky established a new Orange Sky 19 cultural brokerage company, specializing in artist brokerage business. It is clear that he wants to gradually replace Wang Jinghua's Orange Sky Eighteen.
And Wang Jinghua has experienced two breakdowns in cooperation with large companies, and this time she decided to set up her own business. But this time she didn't go it alone, but pulled a partner. This partner is none other than Uncle Li, whom He Xin is currently cooperating with. Therefore, the first and second women in "The Right Way in the World is the Vicissitudes of Life" are all from Wang Jinghua's contracted actors.
"Then what do you think of yourself?" He Xin asked.
To be honest, as an actor, what I hate the most is to encounter this kind of bad thing, on the one hand, you have to take into account your career plan, and on the other hand, you have to take into account the sophistication of people.
"I don't know. ”
Cheng Hao said with an irritated face: "Sister Hua also talked to me about this before. It stands to reason that I signed a personal contract with Sister Hua, and Sister Hua separated from Lao Wu, so I naturally followed Sister Hua. But you also know that Lao Wu helped us so much back then, even if I filmed so many scenes for the company a few years ago, this favor is still on the table. But Lao Wu never asked me for anything, but this time he did, what do you think I should do?"
It's hard to say that things in the mall are simply divided into right and wrong. For example, this time Orange Sky established Orange Sky 19, it was clear that Lao Wu was not authentic, and seeing that Orange Sky had a firm foothold, he was ready to kick his former partner away, and he would not allow others to snore next to the couch.
But from a business point of view, it seems to be understandable, after all, everyone wants to maximize profits.
Moreover, Wang Jinghua left Huayi so loudly back then, although there was a brief period of chaos in Huayi at that time, but its strength was not greatly affected, and in the past two years, with the successive signing of a large number of potential stars, now the strength is getting stronger and stronger.
Lao Wu obviously intended to follow suit, and at the same time learned the lesson that the Huang brothers were caught off guard back then, rather than waiting for the contradiction to be stimulated, Wang Jinghua suddenly left again and caused an "earthquake" of the artist, it was better for him to take the initiative and try to dig up the other party's stars as much as possible. Just like when Li Bingbing and Fan Xiaopang finally chose to stay in Huayi, in a sense, it is one of the biggest help for Huayi to get out of the shadow of the "exodus earthquake" as quickly as possible.
