Chapter 251: The Supporting Role is the Actor!
Where there are people, there are rivers and lakes, and where there are rivers and lakes, there will be right and wrong, and where there are right and wrong, there will be grievances entangled.
Preparations for "The Gift of Room 7" began in early March.
Because the prison she wanted to build was much larger than previously expected, Zhu Mei's request to Shanhaiwang was to speed up the construction and try to complete it by April.
The main body of the prison is three three-story cells, which are not connected to each other, and the capacity of 1,000 people must be considered for specific purposes.
For example, there is a place to work, a place to eat, a place to exercise, and a spaced area.
According to this demand, it covers an area of as much as 50 acres, and it takes two months to complete the work, including six links, which will cost a lot of manpower and material resources.
In general, it costs 3 times more money than half a year.
But Zheng Rongrong doesn't care about these, she only cares about whether "The Gift of Room No. 7" is filmed well or not.
The more real Zhu Mei makes the prison prison, the more people can feel the sincerity of the crew, and the more "The Gift of Room No. 7" can be praised.
Although Zhu Mei told Zheng Rongrong that "The Gift of Room No. 7" will definitely make money, in fact, Zheng Rongrong doesn't care much about whether "The Gift of Room No. 7" makes money or not.
What she wants is fame and honor, which is enough for her Shanhai.com to break the shackles of video websites and truly appear in front of everyone as an upright entertainment media company.
Zhu Mei made it clear to her that "The Gift of Room No. 7" strives to go to the Venice Film Festival in August, continue to go to the Busan Film Festival in September, and go to the Edo International Film Festival in October.
If such three major film festivals run down, they can get at least two of the top awards of the film festival, maybe they can get all three.
Zhu Mei said so confidently, not because of her self-confidence, but because of her strength.
There are also the tastes of those judges, etc., no matter what point of view, "The Gift of Room No. 7" will not lag behind others.
If that's really the case, Shanhai.com is really a big deal!
"Love Letter" is just a release, and the copyright is left in Zhu Mei's studio, but "The Gift of Room No. 7" is a movie they invested in, and any honor is theirs.
And such a good result is the first in the country, and even the achievements of the old man Hao He in literary films are not as good as this one.
Mr. Hao He's work won the Golden Lion Award at the Venice Film Festival, but when was he old?
How old is Director Zhu Mei now? Neither can compare!
Not to mention that "The Gift of Room No. 7" itself is more suitable for the taste of modern people, and in terms of audience, it is much better than the masterpiece of Old Man Hao He back then.
has opened up fame, has endless money in hand, and has the support of the theater chain, are you still afraid that those big directors and big stars will not come to make our movies?
You're really thinking too much!
However, Zheng Rongrong also knew in her heart that it was impossible for "The Gift of Room No. 7" not to make money.
The cooperative cinema operators of Taiji and Ribenzen have already said hello, and this time they will give 35% of the share to Shanhai.com, which is much more than "Love Letter".
Generally speaking, it is very generous for foreign films to enter the domestic market and take 30%.
Before 2012, Hollywood blockbusters only took 25% of the money in China.
But it also depends on the specific movie.
A movie like "The Gift of Room No. 7", with the support of strong book fans and fans, is clearly a movie that will explode at the box office and word of mouth, if you don't come up with some good conditions to attract the producer, why should they use it to distribute it to you to make money?
Therefore, the distributors of Japanese benzene and Taiji will increase by 5 percentage points, which will reassure Shanhai.com.
Of course, now the box office share of "The Gift of Room No. 7" in Taiji and Ribenz has been increased to 40%.
Yes.
Before filming started, it had already increased to 40%.
The reason lies in the casting of "The Gift of Room No. 7".
Zhu Mei was very willing to listen to Shen Huan's advice, especially the correct one.
For example, Shen Huan asked her to choose actors from Riben and Taijiguo, which not only made the actors' acting skills explode, but also made the box office popular, which Zhu Mei listened to.
So before deciding on the actor, she first let off the wind on the media of Niben and Taijiguo.
"The Chinese version of "The Gift of Room No. 7", although the actors of Taiji (Japanese Ben) cannot be selected as the protagonists, but the five main supporting roles in Room No. 7 can be had. ”
As soon as these words were said, they immediately received a positive response from the powerful actors of Ribenz and Taiji.
Especially Jiang Shiyu, a Tai Chi national treasure actor who threw out "willing to play any role" last year, was the first to get Zhu Mei's phone from somewhere, and then called her.
Fortunately, Zhu Mei understands English, otherwise the two would not know how to communicate.
Jiang Shiyu is really sincere, the salary is given casually, basically including food and housing, but he must become one of the five main supporting roles, and it will be meaningless if there are too few scenes.
In return, he will actively promote "The Gift of Room No. 7" in Taiji, and will not live up to the director's trust in him and show his best acting skills.
Encountering such a wronged boss and tap water, how could Zhu Mei hesitate?
Director Zhu, who had already considered him, informed Jiang Shiyu a few days later, what he prepared for you is the big boss of the club with iron man tenderness, do you want to come?
Jiang Shiyu gave an affirmative answer, and then in the afternoon of the same day, he uploaded the book cover of "The Gift of Room No. 7" on social media, celebrating that he had won the role.
Jiang Shiyu has more than 5 million followers in Taiji.
Hearing the news, everyone rejoiced and said that they must see Jiang Shiyu's brother's performance.
By the way, let's take a look at how Jiang Shiyu's brother used his extraordinary acting skills to blow up other actors.
Among the main actors of "The Gift of Room No. 7", Jiang Shiyu was the first to announce it.
But not long after he announced, the 64-year-old old national treasure actor Mr. Ha Kangxian also smiled and wrote a sentence with the signed version of the book "The Gift of Room No. 7" specially given to him by Shen Huan.
"Hello everyone, I'm Director Zhang Minhuan. ”
Wow, the fans of Tai Chi are even more excited.
Two yes!
It's great that two Tai Chi actors have participated in the performance of "The Gift of Room No. 7"!
"I'll just say that Brother Chu Liuxiang likes our Taiji Kingdom very much, right? Or is he a Taiji Country from Huaguo? Otherwise, how could he choose two good actors from Taiji Country at the first time?"
"Hee-hee, needless to say, didn't you see in which country "The Gift of Room No. 7" was first released?"
"Just for Brother Chu Liuxiang's arrangement, I must watch at least three shows, and the post will be proof!"
"I'm five games! I can't get enough of just watching Ha Kang-hyun and Kang Seok-woo!"
"I'm thinking, if the actors of Huaguo and Ribenz are pressed down by our two major actors, will it be embarrassing?"
"Hahaha, yes, yes, I'm looking forward to it!
“......”
Watching the Tai Chi people happily discussing over there, other actors were anxious at this time, especially the actors of Riben.
What's wrong?
"The Gift of Room No. 7" sells well in Taiji, but it sells even better in Japan!
We claim to have 100 million book lovers!
Why have all the Taiji countries been selected, but our Japanese actors have not moved?
Be positive!
But they didn't get agitated for long, either.
The next day, Masato Naito, a hard-core student of Nippon, known as the Iron Man, also posted a photo of himself and Zhu Mei.
"Thank you Director Zhu Mei for your appreciation, I am Jiang Wanfan, a rape prisoner. ”
Looking at Masato Naito's smiling face emoji, the Japanese Ben people are confused.
What is the situation!?
Why did Masato Naito, a Japanese national treasure film actor who is famous for his serious themes and a 3-time winner of the Japanese Benzene Movie Award, take on such a role?
Even if it's a model criminal, a fraudster, a fraudster, or a criminal.
But is this character who is very different from his own personality and way of acting?
I don't understand!
But it doesn't matter much, Masato Naito is one of our strongest players, and it is not a problem at all to punch the Tai Chi duo and kick those actors in Huaguo in terms of acting skills!
Look at the movie after it comes out, if they see that the best and most explosive acting skills are actually our Masato Naito, what kind of face will they have?
As soon as the book fans of Nippon thought of this, they couldn't help but be happy.
And the cinema operators of Taiji and Japanese benzene also saw such a strong lineup, which will definitely bring great attention and attract domestic fans to enter the cinema, so they give a high score of 40%.
Such a division is unprecedented!
At the same time, it also put a lot of pressure on the actors on the Huaguo side!
