Chapter 42: Refusal

Bogo shook his head.

He has little interest in TV series, he is originally a movie café!

Of course, it may also be the shadow left by the crew a few years ago - as he often says, auditioning with his classmates and being used as an agent...

There is no shortage of discrimination because of looks.

"Brother Bo, this script is quite good, and I am the co-director..."

After looking Huang Bo up and down, Lu Xiaoran continued: "Don't worry, I will definitely arrange a better role for you!"

Brother Bo's appearance and acting skills, it's no problem to play Ma Kui or Li Ya!

“... Thank you, but I've taken on all four movies..."

Four, you really work hard!

"That's... That's it. ”

Although it was a little regrettable, Lu Xiaoran was not disappointed.

It was originally a temporary idea, and he already asked for two roles in "Latent", Zuo Lan gave it to Wang Luodan, and Xie Ruolin was ready to recommend it to Cao Binkun.

It's a bit too much to ask for another one...

After all, he is not the dominant party.

......

The so-called co-director, in other words, is an assistant director.

The film and television adaptation rights of "Latent" were obtained by Lu Xiaoran, and he participated in the screenwriting, and by the way, he was still the male lead.

Co-directing, he took the initiative.

It's not a name, he still has a lot of power, because Jiang Wei admires him very much...

Xie Xiaomeng of "Stone", from the perspective of role distribution, belongs to the harlequin, but he performed his own taste!

And Jiang Wei and Lu Xiaoran have been soaking together for the whole May, and they have a preliminary understanding of him, and they are by no means Xie Xiaomeng in "Stone"...

can separate himself from the role so widely, needless to say, the acting skills!

Being able to choose "Stone" and resolutely investing halfway through it proves that he has a good vision!

So, at the casting meeting held in early July, let him come together to help check the gates...

The initial budget for "Latent" is 8 million...

Dongyang Qingyu's first few dramas didn't sell well, and there was a bit of a shortage of funds, so he accepted Lu Xiaoran's salary plus investment plan, adding up to 1 million investment - for this reason, Lu Xiaoran was scolded by the tenants of several shops for profiteers!

There is no way, Xiao Luzi only has 1 million funds, plus the salary is only 1.3 million...

You have to reserve 400,000 yuan, and then there will be "The Story of Two Donkeys"!

The wool is out of the sheep, and Lu Million can only collect rent in advance...

If the husky hadn't told him that "Latent" was determined to make money, he would definitely not have invested this money!

Anyway, Jiang Wei is very good at budgeting, he is going to finish filming this drama in two months, and try to use interior scenes, the original words are like this, "There is no need to shoot many exterior scenes, have you seen "This Killer is Not Too Cold"? There are not many exterior scenes inside, but it is just as good-looking. ’

Well, Yako, who is very confident.

Why do you need to do a casting audition?

Because it's hard to find the right actors!

At this stage, the film and television dramas have not yet reached the level of serious interference of the financiers in later generations, although there are also cases of bringing capital into the group, but after all, it is a minority.

The showbiz is quite tall.

There are two kinds of actors that most filmmakers like to use:

has strong business ability, but his temper is almost good, and the producer can tolerate it;

There is another kind, the business level is average, but the popularity is good...

How can there be so many virtues and arts?

A few top actors who blow particularly fiercely, except for Uncle Ge, which one is not a drama bully?

The crew, including the investors, is still responsible, and mainly cherishes feathers...

In later generations, the owner of the money completely intervened, and then stuffed in a batch of garbage with unqualified business standards and poor professional standards...

People just say: Uncle Lu, I don't want to work hard...

Then, Uncle Lu threw money and held it hard!

......

Tianya's publicity has worked very well.

It is directly fed back at the box office of the movie.

The next day, the box office of "Stone" broke 3 million, overwhelmingly surpassing "Superman"...

But unexpectedly, this week's box office champion is none other than "Stone".

The discussion on the Internet has become more lively, and there are many constructive comments:

"A very wonderful movie, the biggest feeling is that comedies can still be made like this, this is different from the comedies I have seen before, not Zhou Xingchi's nonsense, and different from Feng Xiaogang's mouth, it is a completely different new model, my cheeks are sour!"

"The most valuable thing is that I don't take the audience for fools. Domestic movies are all shot like this!"

"The reason why this film is so good is not how awesome the script is, the overall idea of "Two Smoking Guns" is in the front, and what Ning Hao did was to copy it well, but he perfectly transformed Guy Ritchie's cold London style into a hot Chongqing flavor, which is the key. ”

"I like the actors in it so much..."

Fueled by the media hype, "Crazy Stone" continued to be a box office hit in the next few days, with a single-day box office of more than 2 million for three consecutive days...

The box office was released the next week, and the box office in a single week was close to 16 million!

Coupled with the 6 million in the first weekend, ten days after its release, the total box office of "Stone" has exceeded 20 million!

Absolute low investment, high return!

The phenomenon of following the trend in the domestic film and television industry is particularly serious, and after a movie becomes popular, there are often a lot of movies that follow the trend.

"Crazy Stone" was wildly sought after by the audience, and investors began to go crazy for "Crazy Stone"...

Making a small production film like "Crazy Stone" has become a new investment hotspot in the industry...

When Shen Ming was chatting with Wang Luodan and Cao Binkun, he received a call from a producer he had worked with before, and invited him to talk very cordially...

"I'm really sorry, Brother Li, my schedule for this year is already full..."

Brother Li on the other side of the phone: "The schedule is not absolute, now many actors are filming several dramas at the same time, which is normal." ”

“... Brother Li, it's really not that I don't know how to lift, I can only act in one play at the same time..."

"Well, thank you, Brother Li, for the opportunity to invite you to dinner!"

Hanging up the phone, Lu Xiaoran sighed: "I knew that "Stone" would be so popular, I should have set aside the time, it's all money!"

looked at the two old friends, Lu Xiaoran: "Do you know how many scripts I pushed during this time?"

Without waiting for them to answer, Lu You's masterpiece Xiaoran: "In one week, I pushed sixteen plays!"

"Do you know how high they pay?"

"That's the number!"

Lu Xiaoran compared an eight...

Wang Luodan is most tired of someone pretending to be forced in front of her: "Okay, stop blowing, what are you looking for us?"

"Oh, I've always been rich, don't forget, I have a project in my hand..."

Cao Binkun was a little anxious: "Is it Jiang Wei's "Latent"?"

“... Lao Cao, do you know this play?"

"Of course, Mr. Liu has already recommended me to the crew, I will play Xie Ruolin!"

I'm going, so fast?

Don't leave any chance to pretend to be forced to Xiao Luzi!

Fortunately, there is Sister Ge!

“... I've left you with the role of the protagonist's first love, how about it?

Wang Luodan's face was a little embarrassed: "I have three plays: "Chinese Female Judge", "Extraordinary Dao", and "Beacon Orphan"..."
