Chapter 29: Socializing (1/5)
Once the director is famous, the brand value is great!
Not to mention that Feng Xiaogang has a film commune, it is Director Chen, and if he wants to make any film, he will be sponsored.
Even if everyone knows that Director Chen's film is likely to be a huge loss.
But what if?
What if it's another "Farewell My Concubine"?
Product placement is too low, I'll build a city directly, you help shoot it, don't care what you shoot, as long as it can show our city - two-hour Tangcheng promotional video, "The Legend of the Demon Cat"...
After the "Tangshan Earthquake", the number of people who came to Tangshan for tourism increased by 30%, which is all income!
Although Lu Xiaoran's influence is not as good as Feng Xiaogang, he is also the No.1 of the new generation, and he is invited to make a movie, which will be filmed in Ningbo throughout the whole process, which must also stimulate tourism...
At least get the word out!
The most important thing is that Lu Xiaoran's filming is not particularly expensive!
Actually, in the original time and space, Lao Chen's "Search" was the same, not a dime was spent...
……
The focus tonight is definitely Feng Xiaogang.
There were a lot of people gathered around him, including Lin Jianyue, President of Media Asia, Yang Shoucheng, Yu Dong, Huang Jianxin, Lu Haiyan, Ge You, Gong Li, and Zhang Ziyi...
Zhang Ziyi is really grateful to Feng Xiaogang, last year's "xx door" broke out, and Feng Xiaogang stood up in support.
He said: "Charity is a good thing, although it is not a necessary thing, but it is a conscientious thing. But in China it has changed its flavor and started to discuss who donated how much, which is off topic. Ziyi also donated a lot of money, if she didn't donate money, she wouldn't have attracted this infamy, saying that it was 1 million and donated 840,000, but in fact, 840,000 is not a small amount. ”
It's much better than some people promising 500,000 and not getting it!
A group of people are all in a relationship with Director Feng - in the drama "The Great Earthquake", Hua Yi has earned at least 120 million, not counting the stock price appreciation brought by the box office...
Such a successful director must be the target pursued by the entire entertainment industry.
Not to mention anything else, Yang Qing has already run back to his hometown in Chongqing - too many people are looking for him...
Feng Xiaogang took the time to ask Lu Xiaoran: "I heard that you are researching 3D technology?"
“… Yes, I want to make a sci-fi film. ”
"Sci-fi is not easy!"
"It's okay, it's not a big investment. ”
"It's not an investment, it's a review!"
“… Rest assured, I'm set in a world 50 years later, and there is no political axe..."
"That's okay, your "33 Days of Broken Love" is a youth romantic comedy?"
"Hmm. ”
"There is a head, I said as early as ten years ago, no matter how powerful your other films are, the annual box office of domestic films, urban comedies, and youth comedies must account for at least one-third of the market!"
"Hehe..."
The big director pointed out the market, of course, Lu Xiaoran could only cater to two sentences...
Yu Dong suddenly asked: "Is the WTO arbitration you said last time true?"
"It should be true, it's something written on the contract!"
"That domestic movie is difficult!"
Domestic films, compared with Hollywood films, no matter how worried and hostile you are, you have to admit that their current attraction to domestic movie audiences is really far greater than that of domestic movies!
"It's okay, what the Chinese love to watch the most must be the story of the Chinese." ”
That's right, there may be labor pains, but in the end it will definitely be the domestic film that wins!
Yu Dong asked again: "I heard that your "Source Code" is going to open the era of one billion domestic films?"
“… Do you think it's possible?"
"Now this market... It's hard to say!"
Anyway, Lu Xiaoran didn't count on it...
Feng Xiaogang suddenly said: "This year's National Day file is estimated to watch "Di Renjie", the summer file has made a good start, I watched the movie, 300 million is not a big problem! 400 million is also very promising!"
Tsui Hark's expression remained unchanged, and it was estimated that what he was thinking was not a big problem...
Nonsense, the production cost of "Di Renjie" is as high as 150 million, and Andy Lau's salary alone is 10 million.
150 million, the box office is less than 300 million, it is really difficult to recover the cost!
Lu Xiaoran also felt that it was not a big problem, after all, there was no one that could be played in the whole October...
As for "33 Days", which was released on the 22nd, Lu Xiaoran really didn't think it could pose a threat to "Di Renjie".
At this time, Feng Xiaogang suddenly turned his head to look at Lu Xiaoran and said, "Xiaoran, are you busy this year, if the time is right, how about coming over and filming a role for me?"
Director Feng invited, Lu Xiaoran himself is an actor, if it was placed in the past, of course Lu Xiaoran would agree...
It's just different now.
Lu Xiaoran has never appeared in other directors' movies - "The Wind" is also an orange work.
Not only him, but also actors who are relatively close to Orange, in the past two or three years, have had relatively little contact with film and television companies, production companies and brokerage companies in the industry...
Enough of your own projects!
And how can Xiao Luzi have time?
"Source Code", "Search", two films occupied the eight months after him...
"Director Feng's film, if I have the opportunity, of course I'm willing to do it, even if it's a shot!
"Too many projects?"
"Well, this time I'm going to launch two or three movies at once..."
As soon as these words came out, the entire salon area was instantly silent.
How to say it, Lu Xiaoran made films very quickly, and there have always been legends in the outside world, but at this time, most directors in the circle can only make a film for at least a year, and after filming, it will be released, and they will have to rest for half a year before they will consider the next one.
There are also fast gunners, but most of them are small directors, and they don't have much of a climate.
Feng Xiaogang filmed "Tangshan Earthquake", which was approved in July 09 and released in July 10...
After a year in between, the preliminary preparations are said to have started in 07!
After all, it's not a commercial like "Do Not Disturb 2"...
Lu Xiaoran, one film a year, and at the same time starring in one or two movies or TV series...
It's no wonder that many seniors in the circle look down on him!
Huang Zhonglei paused for a moment, and then said, "Director Lu is really energetic!"
"Haha, I don't have any other hobbies except filming, and I am naturally full of energy!"
Slap in the face...
Lin Jianyue smiled: "Haha, Director Lu is really a pure heart!"
“…”
Xiao Luzi was a little embarrassed, made an excuse, and left the salon...
……
Zhong Lifang smiled very happily: "Haha, I heard that you offended everyone with a sentence just now?"
"Don't say it, I'm really, it's been a long time since I've had a party!"
"Then tell me how you feel now!"
"Heartache, self-blame, guilt..."
Zhong Lifang looked at Lu Xiaoran strangely: "What nonsense?"
"You know it's nonsense, too?"
Zhong Lifang wanted to say something, but suddenly said in a low voice: "... Huang Xiaoming is here, you have a better attitude, he is gaining momentum now!"
“… You think I don't know, "Bubble Summer" was named the most earthy idol drama of the year!"
“… Do you still watch Bubble Summer?"
