Chapter 603

Now that the decision has been made, Lin Xiao naturally can't be idle anymore, but fortunately, this film is still relatively easy to shoot.

Now that Lin Xiao is filming, of course, he doesn't need to be like when he first started, he only needs to check the big aspects, and someone will naturally help him do other things.

And as the boss of Ling Xiao Pavilion, he is also the investor, screenwriter, director, and actor of the film, so he is naturally in the crew.

In addition, the heroine is also an artist under her own company, so the entire crew naturally does not have so many bullshit things like some other crews.

No one wants to make a bad impression on the boss, so naturally they are all working towards one place.

In the film "Those Years", Lin Xiao chose to shoot on the side of his alma mater, how to say it? On the one hand, it is more gimmicky, and on the other hand, it can be regarded as a fertilizer that does not flow into the fields of outsiders.

The only trouble with "Those Years" is that this is a coming-of-age story, so the timeline in it is relatively long, and it needs to restore some of the background of that era.

Feelings are the core selling point of this film, so in this regard, it is more time-consuming and laborious, and the rest is fine.

The preparation of the crew of "Those Years", because it is Lin Xiao, the boss, has multiple identities, and it is because Lingxiao Pavilion has not had a film project for a long time, so not only the outside world pays special attention, but also pays special attention to Lingxiao Pavilion.

Therefore, a grand start-up conference is naturally indispensable.

"Those Years" can indeed only be regarded as a small-budget movie, but who made this Lin Xiao's movie? Therefore, the launch conference of "Those Years", all the media that should come and should not come came.

The lineup is no worse than those big productions.

However, although "Those Years" is a small-budget movie this time, in fact, the lineup is not bad at all.

Not to mention the actor Lin Xiao, the other main roles, on the contrary, there are not too many big names, only one Xie Xin plays Lin Xiao's sworn friend.

And the heroine Yan Jue naturally can't be compared with Lin Xiao.

And what is really dizzying about "Those Years" is the lineup of teachers in it, which is simply luxurious.

makes many people feel like Lin Xiao really knows how to play.

The principal is actor Liang Shaoqing!

Other teachers are basically celebrity cameos, such as Xu Shiyun as a guest Chinese teacher, Fang Junyao as an English teacher, and so on.

After the results were reported, it successfully became a hot topic at the moment.

"I'm rubbing, where is this kind of school? There are such teachers, such principals, and class teachers, how can I at least take a test?"

"Eh, Lin Xiao really knows how to play, there are so many big-name teachers, this is a star school, right?"

"In other words, the one who said that he could take a book, you should save it, with these teachers, do you still have the heart to study?"

......

The filming of "Those Years" went unusually well, after all, in this film, acting skills are actually secondary, and the key is to sell feelings.

The core selling point is naturally youth, ignorant love, and those stories that seem to be a little silly.

For this kind of film, Lin Xiao is very familiar with it.

Not long after the filming of "Those Years" started, the limelight was stolen by Tianhua's "Changing Face".

"Changing Face" officially announced the project, and the director and two leading actors have been decided.

The director is Yang Hao, a great director of Chinese gunfight films, who once directed "Infernal Affairs", a classic with good reputation and box office.

The head teacher in "Those Years", Liang Shaoqing, plays the role of the male protagonist in "Changing Face".

The other actor is Hollywood actor Steve Vincent.

The joining of Chinese and foreign actors is a huge gimmick in itself, and at the same time, the sky-high script fee of "Changing Face" and the budget of up to 130 million US dollars have successfully attracted countless eyeballs.

No matter how topical "Those Years" is, after all, it is only a small-budget film, where can it compare to the gimmick of "Changing Face"?

However, there are still not many media and insiders who are optimistic about "Changing Face", there is no way, co-productions have always been a huge pit, and I don't know how many giants have been pitted, but they have never really succeeded.

Therefore, even if "Changing Face" is a script provided by Lin Xiao, a winning general, and the screenwriter saint, even if two major actors join, even if it is star-studded, it is still not too optimistic.

Because it is too difficult to balance Chinese and Western cultures.

However, the difference between this time and the previous co-productions is that although this time it is said to be a co-production, in fact, there is only one investor, and that is Tianhua Pictures.

This time, Yao Ding was also hard enough, and directly rejected countless related households and gave Yang Hao the greatest authority.

No way, the previous co-productions, because there were too many investors, turned out to be all kinds of backdoor relationships, all kinds of stars were stuffed inside, and some laymen interfered indiscriminately, resulting in the director not having much autonomy.

But this time Yao Ding really let go, Tianhua Pictures directly invested alone, but handed over the North American distribution to other Hollywood companies to cooperate in distribution.

In terms of movies, this time, Yang Hao no longer has any constraints.

Of course, there must be drawbacks to doing this, that is, although Yang Hao is known as the best director of police and gangster films in China, after all, he has not made much achievements in the international market, so whether he can make this co-production well is indeed debatable.

This time, "Changing Face" is not only related to Yao Ding's stay or stay, but also to the development direction of Tianhua Pictures, and more importantly, to the name of Yang Hao's director, and also to whether Lin Xiao's undefeated golden body is likely to continue to be maintained, or whether it will sink into the sand.

However, to be honest, Lin Xiao himself is not too sure about what "Changing Face" can become, the script is one thing, and the filming is another.

What's more, the main market of "Changing Face" is not only in China, but also in North America, and after all, the time is different and the environment is different, so in the end, Lin Xiao is really not too sure whether "Changing Face" can achieve the expected success.

Of course, in fact, the undefeated golden body was broken, and it didn't have much impact on Lin Xiao.

Anyway, co-production has always been a pitfall, and he doesn't rely on screenwriters to eat.

Time flies, and the filming of "Those Years" is proceeding in an orderly manner.

Although "Those Years" was a topic of speculation at the beginning of filming because of the gimmick of Lin Xiao and the star teachers, these are obviously far from enough.

If a movie wants to be successful, publicity and marketing promotion are topics that cannot be avoided.

However, for the promotion of "Those Years", Lin Xiao had already thought about it when he was going to make this movie.

According to Lin Xiao's words, that is, stir up the atmosphere first, what kind of atmosphere? Of course, it is a nostalgic atmosphere, of course, it is the trend of nostalgia for youth.
