Chapter 714: Romance of the Three Kingdoms (4100+ chapters, ask for subscription~)
In Hengdian in September, although there is occasional breeze, the temperature is still unabated.
However, the excitement here still makes people feel that there is a lot of hope here.
Since 1987, Hengdian has begun to build its own film and television city, and now four years have passed, but there are still many filming bases under construction!
At this time, Hengdian Culture also found that its previous negotiations with the investor were in trouble, because the $100 million investment had been spent two years ago, and in the past two years, Fengge Pictures and Tangting Culture jointly added $100 million in investment.
If it weren't for Hengdian Culture's ability to continue to take out the land, their shares are estimated to be less than 5%!
Today, Hengdian Culture's stake in Hengdian Film and Television City has changed from 10% to 5.8% now.......
However, when Wu Jianye came to Hengdian Film and Television City, the density of the crowd here still could not be compared with later generations, and there was no way.
At present, the domestic film and television industry has not yet been completely commercialized, and the right to make films is still firmly in the hands of several major studios and TV stations.
And several major studios also have their own studios, which will increase the cost of shooting in Hengdian.
Hengdian Film and Television City is free and open to the crew, but the food and clothing of the crew is still a lot of money.
Except for a few wealthy crews, there is still no way to compare the crews who come here to film with future generations!
However, the fame of Hengdian Film and Television City has begun, and many aspiring directors have begun to contact Hengdian Film and Television City to inquire about the filming progress here.
Let's put it this way, the development of Hengdian Film and Television City is still based on the future!
However, Wu Jianye was still in a filming base and saw the situation of a sea of people!
This crew is CCTV's biggest project in recent years, "Romance of the Three Kingdoms"!
Originally, in another time and space, the filming base of "Romance of the Three Kingdoms" was in Zhuozhou, and the investment of "Romance of the Three Kingdoms" at that time was 170 million yuan, of which 100 million was used to build a filming base, but after Wang Fulin served as the chief director of "Romance of the Three Kingdoms", he immediately contacted Hengdian Film and Television City and asked if the other party could build a shooting base of this scale.
The management of Hengdian Film and Television City, after a meeting and discussion, immediately agreed to Wang Fulin's request, and began to build the Three Kingdoms scene in Hengdian Film and Television City, including the Han City Wall, streets, Tongque Terrace, etc., and at the same time, the filming of the TV series "Tang Ming Huang" was also moved to Hengdian Film and Television City.
Therefore, at this time, Hengdian Film and Television City has long been very different from Hengdian Film and Television City in another time and space, and Hengdian Film and Television City here will become a larger film and television shooting base than another time and space.
Wu Jianye came to Hengdian Film and Television City this time, just to visit here, as the most important filming base in China in the future, Wu Jianye naturally has to personally inspect it, and at the same time, Wu Jianye's arrival this time will also promulgate more plans.
Xu Rong followed Wu Jianye, at this time he looked at Wu Jianye and felt a lot of emotion in his heart, he was naturally very satisfied with the development of Hengdian Film and Television City, but he was very troubled by the shares of Hengdian Film and Television City in his hands.
Now Hengdian Film and Television City has been opened for tourism, if in the early days of reform and opening up, what industry in China is the hottest, tourism is definitely one of the leaders.
Hengdian Film and Television City, as the largest film and television base in China at this time, although it has not yet reached the scale in Wu Jianye's mind, but in Xu Rong's eyes, it is already a tourist resort, and its tourism income is already very eye-catching.
Accompanied by the leaders of Hengdian Film and Television City, Wu Jianye slowly came to the filming site of "Romance of the Three Kingdoms".
In fact, the filming of "Romance of the Three Kingdoms" is in the same vein as "Journey to the West" and "Dream of Red Mansions", all of which are led by CCTV.
In June last year, the leading group of "Romance of the Three Kingdoms" was established, and in August, the screenwriting team was established, and at this time, the crew had already begun to select actors.
Actor selection Li Fazeng and Gu Fengli visited Beiying, Bayi Factory, Renyi, Qingyi, Children's Art, General Political Department, Air Affairs and other units, and determined the first batch of 78 candidates; the director team successively selected and watched the video materials of the actors sent from various places, and sent three assistant directors to various places to look for actors.
The selection of actors lasted for nearly 10 months and ended at the end of May this year.
After the role was basically determined, the crew originally planned to hold a study class in Yanjing, but later it was Hengdian Film and Television City that sponsored the crew, and finally Wang Fulin changed the crew study class to Hengdian, mainly to save money.......
There are 6 experts in the workshop to teach the actors, including the background of the Three Kingdoms, the etiquette of the Han Dynasty, the customs of the Han Dynasty, ancient wars and formations, and the adaptation of classical masterpieces.
Not to mention the current film and television shooting techniques and techniques, just the seriousness of these scripts is not acceptable to the crews of later generations.
In fact, the filming situation has already started in March this year, and it can be regarded as shooting while studying.
By the way, these actors, the main actors' salaries, there is no distinction between high and low, all 250......
Tang Guiqiang even laughed and said that everyone was two hundred and fifty.......
In fact, there are still a lot of connections between the court culture and the crew of "Romance of the Three Kingdoms", for example, all the costumes and props used by the crew of "Romance of the Three Kingdoms" are provided by my aunt's props.
The arrival of Wu Jianye and others immediately attracted the attention of Director Wang Fulin and others, and Director Wang Fulin also came over immediately after seeing Wu Jianye.
"Director Wu, I heard that you have returned to China for a long time, but I didn't expect to see you here!" Wang Fulin said with a smile.
During the filming of "Dream of Red Mansions", Wang Fulin received a lot of help from Wu Jianye, and now he is naturally very happy to see Wu Jianye!
Wu Jianye said with a smile: "Director Wang, I also knew that you were filming here, so I came here to study, study, and didn't bother you!"
Wang Fulin said modestly: "There is no director now, dare to teach Director Wu!"
In a simple sentence, Wu Jianye's current status as a director in China is as high as several floors.......
Although Wang Fulin is a veteran director in China, he also knows what Wu Jianye has achieved now.
Later, Wang Fulin introduced some important personnel of the crew to Wu Jianye, such as several production directors of "Romance of the Three Kingdoms", including the bearded Zhang Jizhong.
Wu Jianye also shook hands with everyone with a smile, and when it came to the actors, Wu Jianye was more interested, Bao Gui'an who played Cao Cao, Sun Yanjun who played Liu Bei, and Tang Guiqiang who played Zhuge Liang.......
"Director Wu, this time I am fortunate to have the help of Hengdian Film and Television City, otherwise our crew would have spent a lot of money!" Ren Dahui, the planner and producer of "Romance of the Three Kingdoms", thanked him with a smile.
Wu Jianye showed a wry smile and said: "To be honest, if I knew about this matter, I would definitely let Hengdian Film and Television City not accept your work!"
Everyone was slightly stunned, not understanding why Wu Jianye said this.
Then Wu Jianye explained with a smile: "If Hengdian Film and Television City doesn't take this job, our Tangting Culture can buy the overseas copyright of "Romance of the Three Kingdoms" again!"
Ren Dahui, Wang Fulin and others laughed when they heard it.
The previous "Journey to the West" directly bought all the copyrights from Tangting Culture, and the overseas copyright of "Dream of Red Mansions" was also sold cheaply to Tangting Culture, and now those leaders of CCTV still regret it.
"Even if we vote for it ourselves, we won't sell it to you this time!" Ren Dahui said with a smile.
Although he is saying it with a smile, it is also the truth, with the lessons of the previous two TV series, CCTV is no longer able to sell overseas copyrights to Tangting Culture even if it smashes the pot and sells iron.
Among the actors, Wu Jianye also saw two other familiar faces.
He Qing, Chen Hong!
The popularity of the two is much higher than that of the same period in another time and space, but when the two received the script of "Romance of the Three Kingdoms", they still chose to join this play.
This is actually related to the background of this era, one is because this drama is the most important drama of CCTV in recent years, and the other is that this generation has too deep an impression of "Romance of the Three Kingdoms".
It is also everyone's dream to be able to participate in it.
Both of them stood in the crowd, looking at Wu Jianye from a distance, and their moods were different.
He Qing had already hidden his feelings for Wu Jianye deep in his heart at this time, and it was precisely because of Wu Jianye's appearance that she should have been in love with Liu Wei at this time, but now this relationship naturally did not appear.
And Chen Hong's heart is also turning a thousand times at this time, there is no shortage of suitors around her in the past two years, and even Teng Xuese has looked for her several times, but she has been rejected by Chen Hong.
Now the two of them saw Wu Jianye standing there talking and laughing with Wang Fulin, Ren Dahui and others, and they also had a lot of emotion.
Wu Jianye naturally saw the two of them.
smiled and beckoned, and called the two over.
"How is it, are you still used to Director Wang's crew?" Wu Jianye asked with a smile.
Chen Hong preemptively said: "Get used to it, it's all quite habitual!"
"Well, Director Wang is one of the best TV drama directors in our country, following Director Wang well can help you learn a lot of things, and don't lose the face of our culture!" Wu Jianye said with a smile.
The two are different from other actors, the other actors are actors from several major studios or other places such as Renyi, and both of them are actors of court culture.
Wang Fulin said with a smile on the side: "The actors taught by Director Wu must be no problem, just let them follow us to film, some of them are wronged, and there is no way to compare with Director Wu's crew in terms of food and accommodation!"
The crew of "Romance of the Three Kingdoms", although there is hospitality from Hengdian Film and Television City in Hengdian, its treatment is still not comparable with Wu Jianye's crew, in fact, in this era, no domestic crew can compare with Wu Jianye's crew.
is the daily food expenses, which are not the same, the crew of "Romance of the Three Kingdoms" lives in a four-room hotel, how can it be compared with Wu Jianye!
Especially during the filming of "The Legend of the New White Lady", the entire crew lived in a star-rated hotel plus a standard room.......
Wu Jianye smiled and said, "Director Wang, you're polite, by the way, can the scene between the two of them end next year?"
When He Qing and Chen Hong heard Wu Jianye say this, they immediately showed a look of surprise, and the other actors also showed envy, Wu Jianye would definitely not ask casually without a purpose.
As the news of Wu Jianye's return to China spreads in China, it can be said that everyone is waiting for the news of Wu Jianye's new film, and now Wu Jianye actually asked the time of the two in person, obviously wanting to use the two of them in the new play!
Director Wang Fulin showed a hint of embarrassment, but still asked, "What time does Director Wu hope for next year?"
Wu Jianye thought for a moment and said, "It's March or April!"
Wang Fulin thought for a while and said: "The time should be about the same, I will shoot more scenes between the two during this time, and strive to finish filming the scenes of the two at that time, Chen Hong should be fine, as for He Qing, there is no way to give Director Wu an accurate time now!"
Chen Hong played the role of Diao Chan in "Romance of the Three Kingdoms", and the scene ended earlier than Xiao Qiao's role played by He Qing.
After Chen Hong listened, the joy on his face became even stronger, participating in other directors' movies or TV, at most, is to increase his popularity in China, but if he participates in Wu Jianye's movie, it is not so simple as domestic popularity!
As for He Qing, she is a little depressed, but she is more professional than Chen Hong, and now that she has taken over the drama "Romance of the Three Kingdoms", she wants to finish filming this TV series seriously.
As for Wu Jianye's play, then I can only look at the situation here!
Wu Jianye nodded and said, "Okay, please leave this matter to Director Wang!"
Wang Fulin said: "Okay, but, Director Wu, if it involves the two of them who need to be retaken......
Wu Jianye said: "When the time comes, I will release people here!"
"Then there's no problem!"
Then Wu Jianye said to He Qing and Chen Hong: "Next year, the company will set aside the two of you, and the two of you will be the two female leads of my next movie, you two are okay, right?"
Although in the conversation just now, the two had already guessed that Wu Jianye was going to let the two of them be the actors of his movie, but now that they heard Wu Jianye admit it in person, they couldn't help but say happily: "No problem!"
Wu Jianye nodded.
The direction of the new movie, Wu Jianye basically has a direction, and now he is revising the script, and Chen Hong and He Qing are the two heroines he appointed, and now there are only male protagonists and important male supporting roles left!
Seeing that the time was almost up, when Wu Jianye was about to leave, Ren Dahui suddenly came to Wu Jianye's side.
"Director Wu, there is something I have never had in my heart, and I want to discuss it with you!"
Wu Jianye was slightly stunned and asked, "What's the matter?"
Ren Dahui looked at the situation around, Wu Jianye smiled and said, "Let's go, let's go back to the hotel!"
Ren Dahui nodded!
