Chapter 232: Small Capital Alliance
In mid-April, the crew of "Killing" moved from Wenchuan to the imperial capital, where they will complete the drama of "The Cow Enters the Water to Save the Pretty Widow".
That night, Huang Bo was having supper with Guan Hu, when he suddenly heard his mobile phone ringing, a text message came, and he took it out and looked at it, and his ugly face suddenly smiled.
"," he scolded, laughing.
"What's wrong?" Guan Hu was struggling with an elbow, and his mouth was full of oil.
"See for yourself," Huang Bo showed him the screen.
Guan Hu leaned over with his eyes open, only to find that there were five words on it: won the newcomer award.
"Hmm," he realized, "this kid has won the newcomer award?"
immediately reacted, and scolded with a smile: ", it's just a newcomer award, and you're still so embarrassed?"
"Won the newcomer award" and "bought cabbage" are the same tone, which looks extremely bland, but only those who are familiar with Zhou Jin know how much excitement and excitement there is in these words.
Zhou Lin naturally received such a text message, but there were just two more words: Sister, I won the newcomer award.
Zhou Lin threw herself in front of the computer and looked at the photo sent back by Bai Lang, the once childish younger brother, standing on the stage in a well-dressed manner and saying thank you, the corners of his eyes were a little moist.
It's just that after a while, I was so angry that I wanted to bite.
This bastard hasn't been home in over a year!
Zhou Jin has rarely posted on Weibo, usually Liu Sisi @ him, he is too lazy to reply, and this day also came a: Very lucky, thank you for the Academy Awards.
The fans at the bottom instantly exploded.
Five Aries: On this day, Da Dudu finally remembered his Weibo password.
My little Jay: Hey, who are you and why are you on my grandfather's watchlist?
Rainy June day: Wow, Da Dudu won the newcomer award, sprinkle flowers and flowers!
Brother Hengdian: It's not easy, I knew you would do it, come back and see if you have nothing to do.
Yuan Hong: Congratulations, congratulations, getting better and better.
Hu Ge: Congratulations to Gongjin, and let me look at the trophy when I come back, and I will be a little happy.
Cai Yirong: This is the first film award that our sugar man won, right? I hope we can win more in the future, Lao Hu is going to work hard!
Lin update: Starlings are awesome! Remember to bring me a gift.
Xu Zheng: You're still a newcomer, how do I feel that you're similar to me?
Good monkey Ning Hao: Come to the imperial capital in a slippery way, a lot of things.
......
Reactions varied.
Fans are very happy and feel that the actors they like are developing better and better.
The friends I know in the circle are basically congratulations, but they are close and close, and it is clear at a glance.
When the media and reporters were reporting on the Academy Awards, they also took the time to interview Zhou Jin a little.
After all, the newcomers who won the newcomer award are not at the same level as those who did not win the award.
If you insist on dividing the coffee position, then Zhou Jin is probably equivalent to the half-step consummation of the peak of the fourth line, which can be described as invincible at the same level.
As for Liu Sisi, an Internet addict girl, it is rare that she did not go on Weibo, but held her mobile phone and chatted passionately with Zhou Jin at night.
"Is the Academy Awards fun?" asked Liu Sisi lying on the bed.
Zhou Jin said: "It's not fun at all, I'm bored to death, I don't understand what they say, but the roast goose here is delicious." ”
"Then go back and eat it, by the way, have you seen Chaowei?"
"I didn't pay attention to it, but I saw Fa Ge. ”
"Didn't go to him for an autograph?"
"It's all peers, what do you want to sign for, maybe there will be fans looking for me to sign in the future. ”
"Come on, you just don't dare to go......"
The two of them talked until late, until Zhou Jin yawned loudly, "Don't talk about it, I'm going to sleep, and I have to catch a plane to the imperial capital tomorrow." ”
"Huh, aren't you going back to the magic capital?"
"Don't go back first, my movie is going to start filming again. ”
"Hmph, be careful that Sister K wants you, good night. ”
......
The Celestial Empire's movie box office settlement process is quite complicated.
Generally, it is first transferred from the theater to the theater, then to China Film or Huaxia, then to the distributor and producer, and finally to multiple co-producers.
There are six or seven links before and after, and the whole process goes down, and the payment time is as short as three months and as long as half a year.
Fortunately, the producers of "Nightclub" and "People in Embarrassment" are very simple, and Ning Hao directly found China Film to cooperate, so the payment cycle is completed in three months.
By April, the payment for "People in Embarrassment" had all arrived.
With a box office of more than 200 million, Good Monkey can probably recover more than 10%, that is, more than 20 million, plus the income from other channels, the total profit has reached nearly 30 million.
With this money in hand, the establishment of "Thai Embarrassment" and "The Great Gold Robbery" is easy to say.
A few days later, the imperial capital is good monkey pictures.
Zhou Jin, Xu Zheng, Ning Hao, Huang Bo and others gathered again, but what was different from the past was that this time there was more Tao Hong.
To say that Tao Hong was also the goddess of many people's dreams back then, especially when Xiaolongnu died, it touched countless children.
Now in a blink of an eye, she is already a mother.
Xiaolongnu eventually married her brother Zhu.
"This time I plan to go to Thailand to shoot, in addition to Lao Huang, I also invited Wang Baoqiang to join," Xu Zheng, who entered the work state, became serious.
When he filmed "People in Embarrassment" for the first time, he was still nervous, and after the box office success, this guy was much bolder, and planned to operate a genre film completely according to his own ideas.
The story of "Thai Embarrassment" is probably like this:
Gao Bo, Xu Lang and Lao Zhou are partners of the company.
Xu Lang invented a high-tech product called "Youba" and wanted to bring it to the market, but Gao Bo wanted to sell it to the French.
After the two had an argument, Xu Lang went to Thailand to find Lao Zhou, hoping to get Lao Zhou's authorization, but he met Wang Bao, the second force, on the road, and Gao Bo also followed.
After that, the three staged a farce in Thailand.
Among them, the inspiration for the role of Wang Bao comes from a story told by Ning Hao:
A little girl who looks like an off-the-beaten-path dances a funny dance on the show, and everyone laughs at her.
In the end, the little girl said that the dance was for her father, who was seriously ill.
Xu Zheng was so moved by this story that some people may seem to be two, but there may be an unknown story behind it.
As a result, Wang Bao and his girlfriend Fan Xiaopang were born gorgeously.
Originally, in "People in Embarrassment", Huang Bo and Xu Zheng were a golden match, and they were also recognized by the market.
When it came to "Thai Embarrassment", Xu Zheng felt that this kind of second-hand role was more appropriate than Wang Baoqiang's temperament.
Huang Bo also happened to want to get rid of the image shackles of migrant workers and gangsters, so the two hit it off, with Huang Bo playing the elite Gao Bo, and the second forced Wang Bao was handed over to Wang Baoqiang.
Everything is back to the historical configuration, but there is one more accident.
Zhou Jin flipped through the script and seriously felt that he had been fooled, "The male number three you told me is this old Zhou?"
Xu Zheng said as a matter of course: "Yes, aren't we just the three partners." ”
"But why do I think this old Zhou has no role?"
"Who said that there is no role, Lao Zhou is an important person, from the beginning of the movie, to the end of the movie, the role is very strong. ”
"Shhh...... Whatever you want," Zhou Jin was too lazy to break and returned the script to Xu Zheng.
He had watched "Thai Embarrassment" in his previous life, and there was really no role suitable for him in it.
However, Zhou Jin doesn't feel sorry, although he can't participate, he can make a small investment.
The budget of "Thai Embarrassment" is 36 million, and Ning Hao can get it, but he still has to shoot "The Great Gold Robbery", so he still has to raise funds.
A big man once analyzed that the essence of the film and television industry is the small capital alliance with network resources as the hub.
With an investment of tens of millions of dollars in a movie, no one dares to take this risk, but a few people get together and pull some investment, and the project can be erected.
The advantage of this model is that it reduces the risk, and when you meet good teammates, you can also make a good movie.
The disadvantage is also obvious, that is, everyone likes to play small and big, and no one is willing to engage in heavy industrial films.
Zhou Jin doesn't care about this, as far as he is concerned, it is good to be able to take a ride.
In the end, a few people summed up, and a total of more than 10 million yuan was gathered, and the rest were solved by finding the most wrongs.
It's also easy to find, with the previous results as a foundation, and some are willing to invest.
After talking about cooperation, Xu Zheng suddenly breathed a sigh of relief, leaned back in his chair, and said, "Hey, when are you going to start filming for your big robbery?"
"It's been the past two months, and I've already declared it with the bureau, but it's a different name, it's not called the Gold Robbery," Ning Hao took out a document from the drawer and distributed it to a few people.
Zhou Jin took it curiously and took a look, only to see four big characters printed on it: Guns and Roses.
