Chapter 4: Asking for Advice (3/5)
The reason why Li Li posted on Weibo was because of the poor box office of "Yueguang Treasure Box".
"Yueguang Treasure Box" is a popular movie, of course, "Journey to the West", as well as "The Great Cause of the Founding of the People's Republic"...
It's true, "The Great Cause of the Founding of the People's Republic" gathered more than 100 stars and won 400 million box office, and Liu Zhenwei immediately decided to drum up a star-studded New Year.
found Zheng Zhongji, Zeng Zhiwei, Sun Li, Huang Yi, Huang Bo, Yuan Biao, and even brought "Kung Fu" starring Yuan Qiu and Yuan Hua, a total of 58 stars...
To put it bluntly, "Yueguang Treasure Box" is a work of circle money, and the original intention of "East Becomes West" is the same!
It's just that everyone accepts the nonsense of "East Becomes West", and playing this set again in "Koshiko Treasure Box" is a bit too fried...
So, it was criticized wildly!
Some directors really start from the beginning, and what they did twenty years ago, are they still coming out?
By the way, this movie was originally going to be set for the Spring Festival, and then "Avatar" raged, repeatedly jumping gears, and finally set for 3.18, released for 25 days, with a cumulative total box office of 128.80 million yuan...
After watching "Yueguang Treasure Box", in fact, "The Great Sage of Love" is still good...
This movie is roughly estimated to invest at least 50 million, or because many actors are free cameos - there are still a lot of scenes in it.
If you add publicity, it will cost sixty or seventy million yuan, and the loss is certain!
"Yueguang Treasure Box" is a work led by Zhong Lifang who was transferred out of the film department and led by Li Li...
didn't achieve the desired results, so it was natural to attribute the reason to Zhong Lifang's head...
- Always find a reason to convince yourself!
Zhong Lifang didn't respond at all, she was busy integrating the orange image during this time.
Orange is very united internally, and all departments communicate with each other.
However, there is a problem of optimal scale in any company, when the scale of the enterprise is too large, resulting in low efficiency and poor efficiency, in this case, the enterprise should divest out part of the loss or cost-benefit mismatch business;
When the scale of the enterprise is too small and the business is relatively simple, resulting in greater risks, it should enter new business areas in a timely manner through mergers and acquisitions to carry out diversified operations to reduce the overall risk.
Orange currently has three major businesses: movies, TV series, ticketing...
Zhong Lifang and Zeng Guangxian, Zhang Jin, Song Ge and other high-level leaders held a meeting for a week, and then passed Lu Xiaoran's request to add a variety show department...
contacted Beijing Satellite TV for the first time, and initially tested the production of "Food and Afternoon Tea", the form of the program is to invite celebrities to eat refreshments together and chat about the story behind it;
The basic form is not much different from "Lu Yu has an appointment", but there is a little more introduction to pastries, and the chef makes them on the spot...
The host set Cao Ying, and it just so happened that Cao Ying intended to make a comeback, and they hit it off, and the first guest was Tangtang.
The executive CEO of Orange Image is the real execution, Lu Xiaoran didn't even give the general direction, and completely threw off the shopkeeper...
In this case, Zhong Lifang didn't have time to pay attention to the voices of the outside world.
......
Thailand, the location of "Lone Agent".
It is impossible for "Lone Agent" to be filmed in China - you portray the police as so mentally retarded, Golden Shield Film and Television is not happy!
But there is no way, in the agent type movie, the police must be mentally retarded or soy sauce-playing, otherwise, how can the protagonist's halo be reflected?
The Thai government fully cooperated with the Chinese crew, and Lu Xiaoran originally thought that if she went to Thailand to shoot, she would definitely have to double the budget...
When I arrived in Bangkok, I met with the person in charge of the local film department, and after a few chats, I realized that I was completely worried!
First of all, when going to Thailand to film, the actor is not disturbed by the noisy entertainment industry and can concentrate on filming.
With years of training, we can provide 'one-stop' services for the filming party, and the approval is relatively fast. At the industry level, due to long-term cooperation with Hollywood and other large production teams, the Thai film and television industry has cultivated many professional "local escort" teams, which provides a lot of convenience for foreign shooting teams who are not familiar with Thailand.
Advanced technology, professional personnel, low cost, whatever equipment you want, people can get it for you!
It is a special venue for Hollywood and Japanese benzene filming locations - hundreds of Hollywood movies are filmed in Thailand every year, and dozens of Japanese benzene movies are also made!
Secondly, the Tourism Authority of Thailand and the Film Bureau are enthusiastic about Nyima, just like the coastal cities in the eighties and nineties, you come to invest, no matter what you do, you agree first...
The Tourism Authority of Thailand directly sponsored it, and they recommended some filming locations, but for the sake of the plot, they directly chose Bangkok.
They have a tax refund policy of up to 25 percent!
Last but not least, Thailand's custom industry is extremely developed, not inferior to that of Japan, and it is characterized by glamorous dances and demon performances.
Thailand's divinity and secularity are extreme, and there is a strong contrast, which constitutes a strong tension.
It's a scene that all directors love.
"Lone Agent", the villains were originally set by Lu Fangsheng and Fu Dalong.
Fu Dalong was very interested in the cruel gangster, but Lu Fangsheng was a little unhappy, Huang Xuan took the initiative to ask Ying, so he chose him...
Zhang Jing plays the villain killer, the one who PK with the male protagonist head-on...
The actor who played Xiaomi encountered a lot of trouble when casting, Lu Xiaoran originally wanted to use Guan Xiaotong, who she had cooperated with before, but after seeing her herself, she directly vetoed it, she is one meter six meters tall...
It's growing so fast!
12-year-old height 1.6 meters?
It's a snap!
All parties auditioned, and finally found a person named Zhang Zifeng, which was not bad, at least during the audition, the performance was very good.
......
On April 1, Lu Xiaoran finished a day's shooting and returned to the hotel.
He was going to take a shower, and then went to Zhang Jing to discuss tomorrow's fight scene...
When I opened the door, I saw a graceful figure lying on the sofa...
Quickly exited, looked at the room number, yes, it was my own room!
What's the situation?
The crew should know that he is not this kind of person, how can he arrange for a woman to deliver to his door?
You can't talk about this kind of thing, if you have the first time, you will have a second time!
But this is in a foreign country, the rules and precepts or something...
Just as he was hesitating, a voice came from the room: "What are you doing? Come in!"
It's sugar candy...
Lu Xiaoran hurriedly entered the door and smirked at her...
“... Don't be happy... Wow, why do you have so many wounds?"
"Action movies, it's normal to be blue and purple, don't worry about these for now, come on, let's communicate first..."
So, the crackling sound of the rain breaking the plantain sounded in the house, accompanied by high-pitched screams...
Half an hour, Lu Xiaoran took a shower and sat on the sofa refreshed, while Tangtang smeared him with safflower oil.
While wiping, he scolded him: "You are all on the front line, can you stop fighting so hard?"
"Actor, that's what you eat... Why are you here?"
"Oh, I'm going to make a TV series..."
"It's a good thing, you can ask Sister Zhong, she has a very good set!"
"I've already consulted, she told me all the processes, and also introduced me to the director, Liu Mingzhang and Liu Junjie..."
"Let me introduce you to two, Yao Tingting and Liu Chang, both of whom make short films, but they are very good at..."
Tangtang was a little worried: "They're both newcomers, right?"
"What's wrong with newcomers? I like to use newcomers... I'm really not worried, you can find a chief director to command!"
