Chapter 232: New Film Plan
At ten o'clock in the morning of July 1st, all the senior management of Yanhuang Film and Television Company had arrived.
He was already waiting in the conference room early in the morning, and when Qin Feng pushed the door in, he heard more than a dozen voices saying hello.
"Please be seated, everybody. Qin Feng waved his hand and sat down on the main seat.
"It's been a hard time for everyone, let's get started. Qin Feng went straight to the point.
Subsequently, each department reported on its own development in the first half of the year and some work plans for the second half of the year.
After listening to the report, Qin Feng arranged the strategic planning of the general direction, and the meeting, which lasted for an hour, ended, and then Qin Feng returned to the office and began to process the documents.
Today's Yanhuang Film and Television Company is already a giant among domestic private film and television companies in terms of size, scale and valuation.
At present, the company has as many as 2,000 employees, of which more than half are distribution and marketing team personnel and special effects production staff.
At noon, I had a simple meal in the company, and then continued to take a look at the main business during this period of time, and learned about the company's current development.
After arranging the work, Qin Feng was idle again, and at present, "Interstellar" is in slow post-production, and it will not be completed for a while and a half, so Qin Feng, who can't be idle, began to prepare to shoot a new film again.
On July 12th, this is the day when Qin Feng made an appointment to meet Zhou Fa. As early as a few days ago, Qin Feng contacted Zhou Fa through Liu Hua.
Because the movie to be filmed requires various powerful actors with superb acting skills to support it, Zhou Fa, as a veteran actor in Xiangjiang, has good acting skills.
Qin Feng's current status and strength, coupled with his strong strength, are too many actors to work with him, so when Zhou Fa learned that Qin Feng was invited, he readily agreed.
At about three o'clock in the afternoon, Qin Feng's plane arrived in Xiangjiang, and then under the leadership of the staff arranged by Liu Hua, he rushed directly to a high-end club.
In the private room, Liu Hua and Zhou Fa had just arrived, and after Qin Feng arrived, Liu Hua enthusiastically introduced the two to each other, and then left ahead of schedule.
In fact, Qin Feng has also been friends with Fa Ge for a long time, and Zhou Fa is very interested in the director in front of him who is currently the most popular director in the Chinese film and television industry.
Qin Feng smiled: "Hello Brother Fa, I don't mind calling you that, right? ”
Zhou Fa is also kind, he doesn't have much arrogance, and he also smiled and held Qin Feng's hand, and said: "Director Qin, I am fortunate to be happy, I have also admired your name for a long time, and I have always wanted to know you, but I didn't find a chance." ”
Fa Ge smiled, no matter what big names there are, they are all blown by the media. Qin Feng replied, and then continued: "Actually, this time, Brother Yuefa came out to meet you, I wanted to invite you to star in my new film." ”
"New film?It seems that your movie has just been completed, right?Will you make a new film so soon?" Zhou Fa didn't expect Qin Feng to be so efficient, so he was surprised at the moment.
Qin Feng said with a smile: "The completion is the finale, but there is still a long time for post-production, and I am a person who can't be idle, so I want to invite you to collaborate on a movie together." ”
Zhou Fa didn't agree immediately, and asked with a smile: "Director Qin, is this movie sci-fi or what type of film?"
Qin Feng returned: "It's a movie about the Republic of China period, your character is a landlord bully, which is very different from your previous roles, and it's still a bit challenging, so I don't know what you think, Brother Fa?"
"Land bully?" Zhou Fa also asked with some interest.
"Yes, this is a movie about bandits fighting bullies, and it's a very cool comedy action movie. Qin Feng replied.
"I also brought the script, you can read it first, if you like it, we will sign the contract as soon as possible, and then start filming!" Qin Feng looked at Zhou Fa and said.
"Yes, show it to me first. Zhou Fa responded.
Then Qin Feng showed the script to Zhou Fa, read it for more than ten minutes, and after reading a rough look, Zhou Fa closed the book and faced Qin Feng: "I took this movie." ”
Qin Feng smiled: "I haven't finished reading the script yet, do you want to read it again?"
"No, after reading it, I probably knew that this was a good book, and this movie must be brilliant!" Zhou Fa responded with a smile.
After the two exchanged contact information, Qin Feng returned to Beijing, and the staff will follow up on the next signing contract.
And Zhou Fa also went back to start his career of memorizing lines, after all, as Xiangjiang, he didn't have much Mandarin.
After getting Fa Ge, Qin Feng held an audition meeting when he went back, and at the same time he also contacted another powerful actor, Ge You, Uncle Ge.
This Uncle Ge is also a top horn who is not as good as Brother Fa.
Uncle Ge is also unprecedented in the history of Chinese films, and his acting skills have been perfected to the point that as long as he starred in the movie, then the movie will be in two situations, one is the plot of the movie itself, and the other is Uncle Ge, which shows his superb acting skills.
Uncle Ge is also a person with a very outstanding temperament, he speaks slowly and methodically, and his words and deeds have his own unique imprint, no matter what type of movie he starred in, the final role will be labeled as Uncle Ge.
Iconic bald head, quite an ordinary person, Mandarin with a bit of Beijing accent, has played countless roles, but what you see is him, this is an actor with a particularly strong sense of presence, no matter what he plays, as long as he acts, then you can't ignore him.
At present, Uncle Ge has won all the actor awards in the Chinese-speaking circle, and he has also won several international actors.
So this movie successfully invited him to star, and the box office was basically stable, although the box office of the movies he starred in before was not as good as the total box office of Qin Feng's first movie, but that was due to the general environment, Uncle Ge's box office appeal was still quite strong.
On July 14, Qin Feng held an audition meeting in the company and interviewed all the supporting roles except for the three protagonists.
When the news was announced a few years ago, it caused a shock in the entertainment industry, didn't it just finish filming? Filming again, aren't you tired? It's so awesome.
Everyone was stunned for a moment, and then they were full of opportunities, and they contacted through various channels in the hope of coming to audition, hoping to get this opportunity.
On the fifteenth, Yanhuang Film and Television brought together countless famous actors, Qin Feng personally went into battle, looked at them one by one, and screened out all the supporting roles at about seven o'clock in the evening.
A group of horse bandits who are mixed with the protagonist have all been selected, and the younger brother who is mixed with Fa Ge has also been selected, and several female characters have also been selected.
After the audition, Qin Feng asked the staff to contact another person, Wang Xin, who was famous for his extremely similar appearance to Zhou Fa, and after becoming famous, he participated in a lot of imitation shows, and relied on imitating Zhou Fa for a few years, and also gained some fame and money.
After arranging for the staff to contact him, Qin Feng went to visit Uncle Ge in person.
On July 16, Qin Feng drove to a tea house in the suburbs of Beijing, after all, Uncle Ge was also a literati, so he arranged the location in this suburban tea house far from the hustle and bustle of the city.
At three o'clock in the afternoon, Uncle Ge came alone, without bringing anyone, and put on a hat.
After the two sat down, Qin Feng held himself as a junior and said respectfully: "Hello Mr. Ge, I have admired the name for a long time and finally met it today, it is really extraordinary!"
Uncle Ge leaned back on the seat casually, and said with a smile unhurriedly: "Director Qin, you're polite." Although this is the first time we have met, I have heard of your name for a long time, and now who doesn't know Qin Feng's name?"
Qin Feng touched his nose helplessly and responded, "Uncle Ge smiled, I'm far behind you compared to you." ”
"Hey, look, Director Qin, you sound like this, Uncle Ge is much more comfortable to listen to than Mr. Ge. Uncle Ge said with a smile.
Qin Feng didn't expect Uncle Ge to be such a funny person, so he immediately said, "You also know that I asked you out this time to talk about something, I don't know what to do?"
Uncle Ge slowly picked up the teacup and pecked lightly, while Qin Feng stared at him, patiently waiting for his response.
Looking at Uncle Ge's 'slow' pace, Qin Feng couldn't help but admire him, in the fast-paced life of Beijing, it is not easy to let himself live a 'slow' and leisurely life.
"I read the book, it's a pretty good book, I took the role of Ma Bond!" Uncle Ge said slowly after drinking tea.
Hearing this, Qin Feng was overjoyed in his heart and said with a smile: "Uncle Ge, thank you for your support." With your support, it is bound to add a lot of color to the movie!"
"I want to ask, how do you arrange the other two characters?" Uncle Ge then asked.
"If the bully Huang Shilang is a lawyer, he has invited Fa Ge to star. Qin Feng replied.
Uncle Ge replied, "Zhou Fa of Xiangjiang?"
"Well, that's him. ”
Uncle Ge rolled his eyes, thought for a moment and sighed: "Yes, Director Qin, you have a good eye." By the way, there is another protagonist? Zhang Mazi, who are you going to find to play?"
Hearing this, Qin Feng responded: "I haven't looked for it yet, but I want to invite Jiang Wen to act." ”
Uncle Ge touched his bald head and sat up straight: "Okay! It's him, I'll help you contact him, don't worry, he's really a gangster." ”
"Oh, then I'm here to thank Uncle Ge. ”
"Thank you, he and I have known him for many years, and this time we can star in your movie together, which is also our first cooperation, and I am also looking forward to it. Uncle Ge said with a smile.
The two continued to talk for a while about the details of the film's plot, and then went their separate ways.
Early in the morning of the second day, Qin Feng received a call from Uncle Ge, Jiang Wen had agreed to act, and so far the starring and supporting roles of "Let the Bullets Fly" have all been selected.
In mid-July, it was a scorching summer day, and the scorching sun was baking the earth, which also made the actors who were going to star in "Let the Bullets Fly" extremely excited.
At this time, the summer file is also very hot, and countless movies are singing about the situation of our debut, but without the great god Qin Feng, it also makes countless fans feel a little less, and now it is common for Chinese movies to break 100 million, and there are also those who break 1 billion, and the current mainland film market is no longer dominated by foreign films.
The opening ceremony of "Let the Bullets Fly" is scheduled for July 25, so let them familiarize themselves with their respective roles and scripts first.
When the opening ceremony is held, when I see the cast, I am afraid that it will cause a sensation in the entertainment industry again.
