Chapter 193: The So-Called Connections (3/5)
Usually it takes at least half a year for a movie to be released from project initiation, and this is still a small-scale movie...
What I'm talking about is that usually, Hong Kong movies are not among them, they are all over-the-top and crazy - they are filmed in a week, released in half a month, and they are directly off the file with a handful of money...
Even in later generations, "Thunder Sweeps Drugs", "Anti-Corruption Storm", "Apostle Walker"...
I can't tell the difference between stupid...
Lu Xiaoran pondered for a moment, with the duration of "Time and Space Traveler", even if he could be released in August, it would be difficult to take care of the publicity.
Let's shoot it first...
"And the release time of "Big Man"... We want to start next year's Spring Festival..."
Next year's Spring Festival?
Hard shake "Avatar"...
Hello kind!
"Ahem," Lu Xiaoran coughed lightly, and then said: ""Time and Space Traveler" will be released at the end of November... Listen to me first!"
"Several of my films were released at the end of November, and I think other movies can be avoided completely, so there is no need to go head-to-head with me!"
Zhang Jin nodded: "... That's right, Lu Xiaoran + sugar candy, love theme, booked 100 million level..."
"As for "Big Man", it's still next summer..."
"Why?
“… I heard that Cameron's "Avatar" will be introduced in China in January... The first 3D movie!"
“3D?”
"You'll know when the time comes," Lu Xiaoran didn't want to talk about this topic anymore, and looked at Zeng Guangxian: "Director Liu Jiang has two scripts in his hand, one is called "The Beautiful Times of the Daughter-in-law", and the other is called "Before Dawn"..."
"I know, but Hualu Baina has already intervened!"
"Hualu Baina, where did they know the news?"
"I heard that it was introduced by Huang Lei!"
"Teacher Huang Lei, what does it have to do with him?"
"..."Before Dawn" was the idea he came up with, and the screenwriter Huang Ke is his cousin..."
"It's okay, I'll go to Mr. Huang, but it really can't work, so let him intervene too!"
"Then we have to have a card, and you want to play it yourself?"
“… I don't have time, but I can send the script to Mr. Wang Zhiwen, he must like that Tan Zhongshu!"
"What about "The Belle Times of the Daughter-in-law"?"
“… Then let's just participate in the investment, I like "Before Dawn" more..."
"No, this drama is a very popular mother-in-law and daughter-in-law drama nowadays, we must win it!"
"Then come on!"
……
Huang Lei, before the age of 28, told many people that he was a generation of superstars!
can act, write, and direct, and has three TV series in a row, "Years Like Water", "Life of Water", "Singing in the Middle of the Night"...
is full of literary atmosphere, the study building, the small town, and the poignant love, Huang Lei also plays the image of a young student in the Republic of China.
He is the only actor who has been praised by Brother Kai over the years: the movie "Singing While Walking" selected by Lao Chen in 90 years, although he is a co-director, he honestly studied in Beiying without popularity, and until 95, he filmed "Singing in the Middle of the Night" starring Zhang Guorong and Huang Lei.
At that time, Huang Lei was not famous at all, it was Brother Chen Kai who showed Zhang Guorong "Singing While Walking", and then his brother fell in love with Huang Lei...
Only then did I have the second male opportunity.
In 96, Huang Lei won the Best Supporting Actor at the Changchun Film Festival for "Singing in the Middle of the Night"...
"Singing in the Middle of the Night" became famous in Hong Kong and Taiwan, and then Fenghua Records took Huang Lei...
In the entertainment industry, although it is also said that the master leads the door and the cultivation depends on the individual, but without the help of nobles, it is difficult to get ahead!
By the way, director Kai Geda wanted to shoot "Mei Lanfang", and he was the actor selected at the beginning, but later the investor intervened...
However, he didn't get angry, anyway, he didn't have to lose weight, which was good!
The book "Before Dawn" is indeed what he thought of, it is said that he dreamed of it when he was dreaming, and then called his cousin Huang Ke, grinding this book, I originally wanted to be the director myself, but I felt troublesome...
How to say it...
The TV series directed by Huang Lei all hit the streets!
So I found Liu Jiang.
Liu Jiang watched "Before Dawn" and liked it very much, and wrote the second half with Huang Ke...
At the beginning, Huang Lei wanted to star by himself!
Hualu Baina is Huang Lei's trusted partner, "Double-sided Tape" and "Four Worlds in the Same Hall", he serves as the producer, and the producers are also Hualu Baina...
This time, it will be no exception.
Therefore, for the project "Before Dawn", he is ready to cooperate with Hualu Baina.
Then Liu Jiang said that he had leaked his mouth, and Lu Xiaoran came to the door...
He didn't come alone, he was accompanied by Zhao Baogang, holding a script in his hand, called "Gang of Men"...
……
Lu Xiaoran doesn't believe in connections!
He has always felt that getting along with others is actually an exchange of interests!
Only when there are interests can there be friends, and only when everyone's interests are tied together can it be really reliable - you can't bring value to others, of course your connections will be ineffective.
Back to the topic, the project "Before Dawn", presumably Hualu Baina also attaches great importance to it, how can you say that he will change the producer?
Of course, to provide a book that interests him!
With just two sentences, can people give up the producer they have been cooperating with?
Xiao Luzi's eloquence has not yet reached that level!
Why did Zhao Baogang pull in, because the project "Gang of Men" is jointly developed by Xin Baoyuan and Orange Imaging.
Zhao Baogang is very fond of this theme, and believes that Huang Lei is suitable for Luo Shuquan in the play...
He came here to persuade Huang Lei to take over the role...
Huang Lei at this time is not very willing to play some particularly down-to-earth roles, after all, he is still a literary fan, so he has to hold it!
……
"Teacher Huang!"
Huang Lei, who was dressed as a family cook, opened the door and was surprised: "... Why did you two get together?"
Zhao Baogang skillfully changed his slippers: "Didn't I tell you? The script idea of "Gang of Men" was provided by him!"
"I fell in love with 'Before Dawn'..."
“… Let's change our shoes first!"
Entering the door, the living room sat down, and then Sun Li came over from the kitchen with a plate of cut fruit and put it on the table: "You eat some fruit first, and you can eat later!"
Lu Xiaoran hurriedly stood up: "Thank you, teacher... Senior sister..."
Sun Li glanced at him, smiled, and went back to the kitchen...
"Bao Ye, I just said the wrong thing, I should call her... Sister-in-law..."
"What are you calling Huang Lei?"
"Teacher!"
"Then call Mrs. Wang!"
"But she's my senior sister!"
“… What a mess of your life!"
Blame me?
After a while, Huang Lei cooked the dishes and served them neatly.
Lu Xiaoran met Dodo...
It's cute, but she looks too much like Huang Lei, I'm really worried that if she enters the circle in the future, she will be tricked behind the back of those senior sisters...
You must know that Huang Lei is really strict with students.
Came across a small-bellied chicken intestine...
"Xiaoran, if you want to shoot "Before Dawn", who will you look for to star in?
"I can't, I'm not old enough, I have to be a middle-aged yuppie type... The leading actor is still looking for it, but it has been preliminarily decided that Mr. Wang Zhiwen will play Tan Zhongshu..."
"Wang Zhiwen?"
"Well, he loves this script very much!"
