Chapter 41: Good
Why is Lu Xiaoran so interested in "Stone"?
To tell the truth, these days, the way to evaluate movies is to either win overseas awards or make box office!
The probability of "Stone" winning the award is almost non-existent, and that can only push the box office...
As one of the investors, the higher the box office, the more valuable the subsequent image copyright and overseas copyright will be!
This is one of them.
The second is that after the release of "Stone", the most intuitive impact, his reputation went out!
The salary has increased several times compared with before, and a bunch of crews have contacted him - of course, he is not the only one, Guo Tao, Liu Hua, Huang Bo, including Chen Zhenghua, who plays Director Xie, and Four-Eyed Wang Xun, all have a bunch of crews looking for them.
These people are collectively known as the 'Stone Gang'...
Actors who already have masterpieces can't be compared with actors who have just debuted!
Let's put it this way, Xie Xiaomeng's role can make Lu Xiaoran eat for at least five years.
Treat the first masterpiece with no matter how cautious it is.
Continue to talk nonsense with a bunch of netizens:
Netizens were too enthusiastic, and Lu Xiaoran was a little embarrassed to blow.
"After watching this movie, I just felt that the movies I had seen before were garbage, they weren't even dry garbage, they were rotting wet garbage. ”
"God didn't give birth to me "Crazy Stone", the movie is like a long night!"
These rainbow farts, Lu Xiaoran automatically worries...
Of course, there are also those who tell the 'truth', for example, a netizen with an ID of Ping Yunjun said: 'I downloaded it from Movie Paradise and watched it, I think it is average!, you can download it and watch it, and you don't need to go to the cinema, there is no need to waste money!'
Or something provocative like saying, 'It's just a good copy, please see 'Two Smoking Guns'...
These remarks, Lu Xiaoran also chose to automatically filter...
To put it mildly, "Stone" is really a small investment, and the picture effect is too bad - today's high-definition digital cameras are actually used to shoot TV movies.
How can everyone like it?
Also, nowadays' movie tickets are indeed a bit expensive, and the cheapest ones cost fifty-one, with this money, you can go directly to the Internet café for eight days and nights!
……
"I only invested 600,000 yuan, and I didn't think much about it, I just thought that it would be a pity if a movie like "Stone" was shut down due to lack of funds!"
"I didn't think about it that much, and I can really get 600,000, if it exceeds that, I may not be able to do it. ”
"Sometimes when making a movie, don't think about the return, it's much more interesting to invest in ideals than to invest money..."
"Feng Xiaogang's movies are all different genres, how do you compare?"
"Of course I like Feng Xiaogang's movies, I used to watch "The Story of the Editorial Department" and felt that his lines were too strong, and I still remember the sentence '1997 has passed, I miss it very much' in "Party A and Party B"..."
"It's basically earned back, the copyright of the DVD has been bought out by Warner, and the overseas distribution still depends on the box office in the mainland, so please be sure to buy more tickets to support, **** doesn't count!"
"Fun fact? Tell me about Guo Tao?"
"I don't live on one floor with him, but he has always been an actor I like very much, but he is too low-key, he used to have a lot of scenes with Xu Fan, "Love Malatang", "Never Lose My Love", in the drama of the great director Meng Jinghui, he also always plays the male lead... It's just that there are few TV series, and people don't like to climb the dragon and attach the phoenix, so the audience is not familiar with him..."
"I live in the same room with Huang Bo and Xiaojun, I knew each other before, Brother Bo used to sing, and later was admitted to the Nortel dubbing class, which is my junior brother, Xiaojun is a Chinese opera literature department, and he was a screenwriter before, and wrote a 50-episode sitcom "Born to Be Talented" for eight sets... That drama later turned yellow..."
I starred in the new drama "Struggle" directed by Zhao Baogang, and I expect to be able to meet you at the end of the year or next year. ”
"Why don't you keep making movies... With the jewel of "Stone" in front of me, I really can't be interested in the books on the market, and I'm not particularly short of money..."
chatted until almost twelve o'clock, and there were still a lot of netizens asking questions online, and a few people were a little unbearable, and they had already exceeded the eleven o'clock that they had said before.
Looking at the time, Lu Xiaoran sent the last paragraph: "Answer the last question, and everyone will disperse..."
"Unspoken rules, I know you're interested in this!"
“… I don't deny that there are dirty places in the entertainment industry, but which industry doesn't have it? I advise everyone not to always stare at the bad places, in fact, behind the rise of every industry, there is a group of people who have a pure heart and love this industry!"
When the topic ended, Lu Xiaoran closed the webpage, took the mineral water handed by Huang Bo, took a sip, and asked, "How is it?"
"It's okay, it's quite comfortable to talk to them online, and I have time to organize the language. ”
Ning Hao moved his neck: "I just don't know if it has an effect!"
“… Don't worry, how can we say that we are also the first in the entire film industry to do this, and the effect is definitely there!"
"Go back?"
"Hmm. ”
Several people are ready to leave...
In fact, the auxiliary device also said a bunch of movie promotion cases, what roadshows, walking into the campus, etc...
This thing needs a complete marketing team to plan, and it is far from being something that Lu Xiaoran can do alone!
Huang Bo seemed to remember something, and called out to Lu Xiaoran: "Xiaoran." ”
"What's wrong?"
"Something. ”
Ning Hao and Yue Xiaojun were very sensible and left first...
……
"Director Forrest Gump wants to see me?"
“… Yes, he's very interested in our actors. ”
Lu Xiaoran hesitated: "Brother Bo, I don't have a schedule for the time being..."
Without waiting for Huang Bo to speak, Lu Xiaoran continued: "I have a TV series and a movie in my hand, both of which are starring..."
"Don't delay, that movie... Just looking for a few of us..."
Brother Bo said this, Lu Xiaoran completely understood that Forrest Gump's "Big Movie" is a work that follows the trend and makes money - filming will start in July, find the 'Stone Gang' and Yao Dazui, who is popular because of "Wulin Gaiden", just make a few stalks, stuff them into a story, even if it is a movie, and then release it in the Chinese New Year...
That's the good!
After the release of "Crazy Stone", the popularity of a group of actors rose rapidly...
There are a lot of scenes looking for them, and Lu Xiaoran rejected a bunch of works that he knew hit the street at a glance, and now, he actually contacted him through Bo Ge.
As for whether such a work can be made money?
That's not something that actors can worry about, Brother Bo said for twenty days, 80,000 yuan.
"Do you want to do it?"
Lu Xiaoran thought for a while, and then asked, "Do you want to act?"
Huang Bo nodded: "Of course I have to take it, unlike you, I have to support my family!"
"Okay... Then I'll take it!"
Ignoring the dissuasion of the auxiliary, Lu Xiaoran gladly accepted...
Twenty-day schedule, 80,000 yuan salary!
far exceeds Lu Xiaoran's actual worth...
And Bo Ge can act, why doesn't he act?
"Then let me reply to the director, when are you free?"
“… Where?"
"It's in Huairou. ”
"Half a month later, I have to help with casting!"
"..."Latent"?"
"Yes, eh, Brother Bo, are you interested?"
