On February 5, Tang An met Xu Jinglei again in a restaurant box in Beijing.

Looking at the haggard face on her face, it is obvious that she has been running around for the past few months.

"How many film festivals have you run during this time?"

"The Warsaw Film Festival in Poland, the Tallinn Black Night Film Festival in Estonia, the Matabrata Film Festival in Argentina, the Ibon East Longitude Film Festival, the Indu International Film Festival, and the Cairo International Film Festival in Egypt!" Xu Jinglei said the names of each film festival, all of which are international A-category film festivals.

"I'm going to go to Berlin after the New Year, but it's estimated that I'm running away again!" Xu Jinglei said helplessly, bowing her head and starting to destroy the food in front of her.

"Didn't you win a single award?" Tang An asked.

"It's all accompaniment, there are no Chinese films, only Liang Chaowei won the best actor at the Tallinn Black Night International Film Festival with "2046"!"

"It's a trip for nothing!" Tang An sighed.

Xu Jinglei put down her chopsticks when she heard this, raised her head and wiped her mouth, and said with a smile, "It's not a run in vain, at least all the European copyrights have been sold, 1.2 million meters, and Mi and Japanese benzene have been sold for 150,000 and 100,000 respectively, recovering more than half of the cost!"

"That's fine!" Tang An nodded, and asked again, "When is the movie going to be released?"

"March, released on Friday, March 4th!"

Tang An frowned, he was going to Berlin after the Spring Festival, it was estimated that it would be at least a week, and it would be the end of February.

The release of the movie must be accompanied by publicity, and "Horror Cruise" is scheduled to be released in July, so the time is a bit rushed.

Seeing Tang An's expression, Xu Jinglei knew that something was wrong with him, and joked with a smile, "What, didn't you pick me up today?"

"Of course, I don't owe you a meal, but I happen to have something to do with you!" Tang An smiled.

"Tell me, what do you want me to help with?"

"Actually, it's not a big deal, it's just that the new film wants you to play, the protagonist, the only protagonist!"

"Another one-man show like Shark Beach?"

"Almost, there will be a few supporting roles, but there are not many scenes!"

"Oh, did you bring the script, I'll take a look!" Xu Jinglei became interested when she heard this, and wiped her hands with a tissue.

"The script has been perfected, and there is still a small half of the storyboard script, and you are playing a single mother...... "Tang An handed over the script and explained.

Xu Jinglei nodded and slowly flipped through the script.

At first, she still had the mentality of reading novels, after all, although "Shark Beach" is a suspense horror film, the whole article is not so scary.

However, as she turned back, Xu Jinglei's face gradually became more exciting.

After more than half an hour, after reading a thick script, Xu Jinglei's face was constantly changing.

"How?"

"It's a bit winding, I guess I can't understand it again!" Xu Jinglei put down the script and rubbed her forehead.

"It's reincarnation again and again, the heroine keeps killing every group of people on the boat repeatedly, until she is knocked into the sea when she fights with the heroine of the third reincarnation, and she returns to the beach and returns home, kills herself at home, and finally rushes to the beach!"

"You don't have to worry so much, this is something I should worry about, it's not too difficult for you to act, the difficulty lies in me!" Tang An explained.

"Okay, I'll take this film, when are you going to start filming?" Xu Jinglei nodded, such a wonderful and complicated story aroused her curiosity.

"The crew of China Film has been found, the set team and the art team have gone to Huairou to build a studio, I plan to release it in early July, and it is best to start shooting at the end of the month, and the shooting cycle is one and a half months!"

Xu Jinglei thought for a while, "At the end of the month, I estimated that I just came back from Berlin, and the premiere on the night of the 3rd, I will definitely take time to promote it in the next few days!"

"Otherwise, you will start the film on the 1st, and I will be able to rub the heat at that time, and then shoot other scenes in the first ten days, and I will join the group on March 10th!"

"Anyway, literary films don't need to do too much publicity, and this film will be smashed for 20 million, Huayi won't give too much publicity money!" Xu Jinglei smiled self-deprecatingly.

"Are you not satisfied with 20 million? I put 6 million into this movie, 3 million from China Film, and set aside 1 million for publicity, which is only 10 million!"

The investment of 10 million is three times that of "Shark Beach".

Among them, China Film released the salary and equipment of the entire crew, the cost of renting cruise ships, and post-production, with a price of 3 million.

Not to mention that those big directors are all top talents, at least they are first- and second-rate professionals.

The equipment is also the latest in Europe, don't look at Hollywood, in fact, most of the equipment is also imported from Europe, after all, it is the birthplace of movies.

Tang An's 6 million yuan is in the salaries of several actors, studio construction fees, and staff accommodation.

"That's okay, let's sign the contract!"

"You're still prepared!" Xu Jinglei smiled as she watched Tang An take out the contract from her bag.

"By the way, how much are you going to pay me?"

"1.8 million, this price shouldn't be low!"

"So generous?" said Xu Jinglei with a smile.

"I'm not a stingy person in the first place, okay!"

Although 2 million is a bit premium, but Xu Jinglei helped herself a lot last time, and it is not suitable to wrap a red envelope, and the envelope can't hold much.

Zhang Ziyi's salary for "Night Banquet" last year was 2 million yuan, which is nothing in comparison.

After signing the contract, the preparation of the film is almost over, and the other actors Lu Yi is 600,000, Deng Chao is 300,000, and Sun Li is 100,000......

Several of them are TV series stars, and the number of times they have appeared in movies is only a handful, and the total is more than 1 million.

"You take the time to study the script more, watch more similar movies, and the whole drama will be supported by your acting skills!" Tang An reminded.

"I'm a little stressed when you say that!"

"You think about this yourself, the movie has been reincarnated three times, and your expressions and actions at each stage should be different, but they can't be too obvious, the most important thing is the micro-expressions of the face, all kinds of inadvertent distractions, and even the lips are slightly open, and the eyes should look a little dull......"

After saying goodbye to Xu Jinglei, Tang An made final preparations in the studio to welcome the arrival of the start-up conference.

During this period, several actors were also found together for a simple rehearsal.

There is also a studio at Huairou Film and Television Base, where every detail is carefully investigated.

All props have to be inspected by Tang An.

The house number of the room on the ship in the studio is exactly the same as the house number in the heroine's house.

There is also the equipment used in the shooting, and there will definitely be differences between the equipment of this era and more than 10 years later, and he must get familiar with and adapt to it as soon as possible.

In the end, they went to Tianjing to conduct a field survey on the cruise ship that had promised to rent them for a week.

Until March 1st, I went to Huairou Film and Television Base again early in the morning to prepare for the launch conference!
