Chapter 82: Protagonist Mode (5/8)
All the staff of "The Wandering Earth", regardless of which group, are very familiar with each other.
Basically, I followed this project as soon as I started, and I went all the way...
Especially the executive producer Gong Ge, he made his debut as a fast man, did dubbing, wrote music, filmed commercials, wrote radio dramas, by the way, he met Yin Le when he was doing the "Bright Sword" radio drama, the latter is the producer of "The Adventures of Li Xianji"...
Explain the radio drama "Bright Sword", its approach is to extract the sound of the TV series "Bright Sword", fill in the commentary in the middle, and Teacher Wang Gang will explain it, and Gong Ge is responsible for filling in the words in the middle.
Then Yin Le introduced Guo Fan to him, it just so happened that they were both in the advertising industry at that time, and they slowly became acquainted, and then, Guo Fan did "You at the Same Table", Gong Ge served as the soundtrack, and also appeared once...
In 15 years, the director has to go overseas to explore resources, mainly the resource exploration of some heavy industries, such as visual effects, and it just so happens that Gong Ge's English is not bad.
Guo Fan took him along...
Then, it's "The Wandering Earth".
Guo Fan has never done heavy industry movies before, and Gong Ge has never been a producer, and the two have gone all the way, so you can imagine how difficult it is.
Is there anything more devastating than the sudden departure of the original male lead?
There really is!
The crew has been shut down several times, all because there is not enough money...
However, frankly speaking, in addition to money, there was not so much pressure at the beginning, because "The Wandering Earth" is not a big IP, the real big IP is "Three-Body Problem"...
In 15 years, the first year of science fiction, Liu Cixin's three works were adapted, "The Wandering Earth", "Ball Lightning", "Three-Body Problem", compared with the latter, "The Wandering Earth" has not received so much attention, everyone can calm down and do it slowly, and not rush to release...
But then the "Three-Body Problem" project was terminated - the special effects director of "The Wandering Earth" is the special effects director of "The Three-Body Problem";
The "Ball Lightning" project has been repeatedly postponed...
"The Wandering Earth" was pushed to the front of the stage...
And then Wanda divested...
Do you know how big a blow to the main creative team is when a project is going well, and suddenly the investor withdraws?
And it is very likely to trigger a chain reaction, three investors, one divests, so don't wait and see the other two?
Will they follow suit?
There's a good chance that the project will just fall apart...
Then Brother Song proposed that he could make an appointment to meet Shen Ming!
At the time, he said, 'Just give him the script, concept art, and storyboards, and I'm 80% sure he'll agree!'
Then, Shen Ming really signed an actor contract...
Then, 160 million funds were injected;
Wu Jing also came, and by the way, he added an additional investment of 60 million...
It's like a dream, looking at Shen Ming, who has been poured into all kinds of begging for mercy, Gong Ge smiled, and then joined in...
……
Shen Ming couldn't remember how he got back to his room.
should have pretended to be forced to shout 'Huaihua relies on the Yangtze River, drinking wine is like drinking soup', and then he was taught to be a man...
When I woke up, my head was very swollen, I took a shower and called home.
Wooden sitting in the hotel.
After half an hour, he moved the suitcase in the cabinet, called room service, and immediately someone came to help carry the luggage, and by the way, he also called a car.
"Mr. Shen, go slowly, see you next time!"
The lobby manager also followed, said a few polite words, and watched Shen Ming leave...
Yang Xin called.
"Do you want to sign Zhao Jinmai?"
“… Whatever you want!"
"Why should you be attached to my company?
"What can I do to her? She's only 14 years old!"
“… Well, wait a week before joining the group, so let me rest for a few days!"
"Well, hang up. ”
Hanging up the phone, Shen Ming was a little speechless.
Who would doubt the pure friendship between himself and Maizi?
The phone rang again, this time it was Zhao Jinmai's mother...
"Auntie, yes, I'm Shen Ming..."
"Maizi won't take on the drama for half a year, prepare for the high school entrance examination with peace of mind, rest assured, I will definitely find her as soon as possible if there are any good resources..."
"Share, you can talk to Yang Xin about this, she is an agent, I am not..."
"Uh, goodbye. ”
Shen Ming is not the kind of bad person, but he adheres to the most simple traditional virtues, letting others eat vegetables and chaff, and treating guests like home...
Zhao Jinmai's mother called, the purpose was very clear, she wanted Shen Ming to persuade Yang Xin, don't make it so high...
According to Shen Ming's understanding of Yang Xin, if she signs a newcomer, she wants to build it with her heart, and divide it into at least five or five!
This is already a reasonable ratio!
You must know that Zhao Liying signed with Huang Bin's team, and the share offered was a three-seven ratio, and Huang Bin's team took seventy!
Shen Ming also came over fifty-fifty back then!
……
Click to take a look at the box office.
"District 9" has been released, with a cumulative box office of 902 million...
It is estimated that the issuer has made some efforts - to buy some midnight games, and it has successfully passed 900 million...
This result is okay, in fact, "District 9" is not a popcorn movie in the traditional sense, in the form of a pseudo-documentary, the subject matter is also a little depressing, and it can have a box office result of 902 million, which is already very good!
It's not a big IP, and the results on the first day are not explosive, all thanks to the early audience attracted by Shen Ming's audience popularity!
Do you want to post a Weibo to thank you for some support?
Then, he saw the three-legged New Year file of "Fanghua", "The Legend of the Demon Cat" and "Blood of the Machine"...
The male number one in "Fanghua" and "The Legend of the Demon Cat" is Huang Xuan!
Awesome, it's the same!
Huang Xuanke is really the protagonist mode, one person starred in the movies of Feng Xiaogang and Chen Kaige, two big directors, just one Zhang Yimou, can gather the three major Chinese directors...
This treatment, the average China Entertainment doesn't dare to write like this, for fear of being sprayed too fake...
Why is there such a resource?
Many people say that it is Zheng Xiaolong's strong recommendation - "Red Sorghum" and "The Legend of Miyue", Zheng Xiaolong is not generally satisfied with Huang Xuan!
But Wang Lei is also very good, Zheng Xiaolong has collaborated with him in four plays!
I don't know, probably God is trying to make up for him - it was too weak a few years ago.
Back then, Lao Mouzi filmed "Golden Armor", he passed the audition and got the Three Princes, but later the age of the role was changed to a younger one, so I didn't look for him. Then for this scene, he pushed Haiyan's "Five-Star Hotel", but neither side was acted;
Then, he was dragged by his classmates to participate in the draft of "Dream of Red Mansions", he was in the Baoyu group, and he was eliminated because of insufficient votes...
finally acted in "The Night of the Spring Breeze Drunk", and was about to go to Cannes, but was told that the scene was all cut...
In fact, in a sense, he has caught up with the opportunity, and his image is indeed very suitable for some literary and artistic movies...
They have to push a few new people out, lest the market be taken over by outsiders!
However, to win people in the Beijing circle, you also have to look at word of mouth, image and acting skills, Huang Xuan just meets the requirements.
Otherwise, they don't use Brother Xiao Ming for Mao?
