The next day, "Dragon Gate Inn" announced the establishment of the project internally.

After reading the script of this movie, Jin Han looked excited and couldn't help himself, if it weren't for the fact that "The Matrix" was about to start filming, looking at what he meant, he couldn't wait to set up preparations today and start filming tomorrow.

But in fact, that's not possible.

In this year's Minghu Culture, no one or any shooting plan can compete for resources with "The Matrix", and Li Qian's international co-production blockbuster is the first sequence.

And "The Matrix" will officially start filming at the end of July and early August!

The reason why the time is uncertain is that the props have not finally met Li Qian's filming requirements, so there is no way but to continue to do it, and the second is to give the actors in the United States a little time to prepare.

Third, it is very helpless, because most of the manpower and equipment in the special effects department are occupied by Liu Chengzhang's "Flying Sky".

And this is not the time when "Flying Sky" uses special effects at its best, according to Liu Chengzhang's production plan, in the next September and October, after the filming is completely completed, even he himself will be completely stationed in the special effects department of Minghu Culture, and at that time, it is estimated that the work capacity of the entire Minghu Cultural Special Effects Department will be completely occupied by him - according to the news from the special effects department, "Feitian" It has been nearly a year since the start of filming, and the investment has been increased three times, and now more than 100 million has been spent, and when all are completed, it is estimated that it can approach 200 million infinitely!

It is conceivable that Huafei Film and Television is really bitter!

In this year, although the domestic box office has repeatedly risen, no matter how high it is, it can't be higher than the North American box office, not to mention, when it comes to the harvesting capacity of the global box office, domestic films and Hollywood blockbusters are not on the same level, and even in Hollywood, an investment of 30 million US dollars is considered a medium investment, more than 60 million, which is enough to be included in the big investment, more than 100 million US dollars, it is an absolute super-large production - in Hollywood, there is only one director like James Cameron who burns money!

And now, a Chinese movie actually has to invest 200 million, which is equivalent to 100 million US dollars to create a movie, which is scary to think about!

However, the money in the early stage has been invested, and it is estimated that Hu Fei still has confidence in Liu Chengzhang, so he gritted his teeth and had to smash the follow-up money!

At the end of July and the beginning of August, regardless of whether Liu Chengzhang is willing or not, as long as the preparations for "The Matrix" are completely completed, Li Qian will draw part of the force from the special effects department and directly follow the team to officially start the filming stage of "The Matrix".

But the good news is that Li Qian not only saves money by making movies, but also speeds.

The movie "The Matrix" has a very important position within Minghu Culture, but the investment from China and the United States together is only 50 million Chinese dollars, and the estimated shooting period is only 11 weeks!

is still the same sentence, Liu Chengzhang's last movie "Sword Fairy" is obviously not very good, and the new movie still dares to spend 200 million, continue to play super fairy, top special effects, and the movie is filmed for a year, it is said that a group of actors who participated in the film are tormented, but Li Qian is just the opposite, obviously "Red Sorghum" has just sold more than 500 million, but the new movie continues to only invest tens of millions, and it can be replaced by production props, so he tries not to use special effects.

Moreover, other actors can be found from outside, but the male and female protagonists will definitely use their own company's contracted actors - fat water does not flow into outsiders' fields, of course, it is a very important factor, and another factor is that it is cheap.

Therefore, an international co-production film is planned to hit the overseas market, but the hero and heroine are still given to Zhou Baoshan and He Yingyu.

It is planned that "The Matrix" will be completed in late October and early November.

Then, He Yingyu will switch to "Dragon Gate Inn" after a short break, and Zhou Baoshan will only have a short break, and then he will join another costume kung fu drama prepared for him by Minghu Culture this year, "Shaolin Temple".

The reason why I filmed "Shaolin Temple" instead of continuing to shoot the third part of "Huang Feihong" is mainly because I am afraid that the audience will have aesthetic fatigue after watching two films in a row, so I just use a "Shaolin Temple" as a buffer.

Moreover, the film "Shaolin Temple" was handed over to Zhao He, who directed "Huang Feihong's Boy as Self-improvement", to be directed, which can continue the style, so that Zhou Baoshan quickly returned to costume drama after experiencing the changes in the modern drama of "The Matrix", and continued to sit firmly in the position of the first star in ancient costumes.

Of course, "Dragon Gate Inn" can already start preparation.

And these producers and directors within Minghu Culture are very clear, although Li Qian can save his own film projects, but he is generous enough to treat them and other directors.

As long as the plan is reasonable and the expenses are reasonable, even if it is a little higher, he will definitely approve it.

And this time, Jin Han, who has always liked live-action shooting the most, after reading the script for I don't know how many times in a row, his eyes were red, but he was reluctant to rest, and directly asked the company for a real-life survey, and then, the company arranged for Zhang Luo, and he soon went to Gansu to find a shooting site.

And before he went over this time, he also asked the company to help contact some architectural design firms in advance - that is to say, in order to shoot "Dragon Gate Inn", he estimated that he would spend money to build a Dragon Gate Inn directly in the desert, and then, a large number of scenes will be stationed in the depths of the desert to film.

has been stationed in the depths of the desert for a long time to film, and if you think about it, you will know that all kinds of expenses must have increased dramatically!

But Li Qian didn't have any objection and directly approved it.

For Jin Han, he has one request: shoot the scene well!

…………

The time has entered July, and the summer file is in full swing.

When the box office of "Peacock" was tepid, in fact, in the first half of this year, Minghu Culture was able to smoothly announce that it was the film and television cultural enterprise with the highest revenue in China.

After 86 days of release, "Red Sorghum" was completely offline on June 6, ending its screening in China, but in many places abroad, because the distribution rights were sold by buyout, so how many days people have to put it on their side is not under the control of Minghu Culture.

At present, some places have also been offline, some places are still screening, and it may even continue to be screened until the end of the year.

However, the domestic offline and overseas buyouts have made the revenue of "Red Sorghum" determined.

The domestic box office is 5,750.9 billion Chinese yuan, equivalent to about 287.5 million US dollars, and the distribution rights of overseas buyouts have generated a box office of 87.3 million, and it will be higher in the future, but the buyout money that Minghu Culture actually got here must not be so much.

So up to now, the global box office of "Red Sorghum" has reached $385 million - it will definitely be higher in the future, but it is just a rise of millions to tens of millions of dollars, and the big picture has been decided.

And "Big Names" also received a certain period of extended screening after experiencing the super popularity in the early days of its release, and finally officially ended its national screening on June 29 before the arrival of July.

The film has a cumulative running time of 71 days, and the total box office nationwide is as high as 578.13 million. Because of its popularity in China, its overseas distribution rights have also been sold to some countries, but in general, if the price is not raised, after all, no one dares to guarantee whether such a comedy movie will be able to explode in other countries, so the so-called overseas box office, that is, lively and good-looking, is actually better than nothing.

However, "Red Sorghum" and "Big Names", in fact, just the domestic box office of these two movies is enough to make Minghu Culture laugh proudly!

"Once Upon a Time", which ranked second in the domestic box office history list last year, has now dropped to fourth place, and the second and third places are "Big Names" and "Red Sorghum".

First place, "The Gate of Life and Death", Qin Wei, 700 million.

second place, "Big Names", Feng Bicheng, 578 million.

third place, "Red Sorghum", Li Qian, 575 million.

fourth place, "Huang Feihong", Li Qian, 470 million.

fifth place, "Swordsman and Monk", Liu Chengzhang, 310 million.

The top five domestic films in the history of the box office, Minghu Culture occupies the third.

Moreover, July has come, which means that "Once Upon a Time: The Man Should Be Self-Improvement" is coming soon - in the preliminary investigation conducted by many theaters and investigative agencies, this movie has quite high expectations among the audience, which to some extent means that as long as this movie can keep up with the rhythm and level of the first part, the box office should not be too bad!

…………

In July, the whole country began to enter the hot summer weather.

At this time, it is more comfortable under the air conditioner.

Bai Yujing sat in the second row of seats in the business car, lazy and didn't want to move.

The agent sat on the co-pilot and glanced back, and didn't dare to say anything about her, and didn't need to say anything - today's Minghu cultural family has a big business, and when others go to see the big boss, they have to call Li Qian's secretary or assistant in advance, queue up to make an appointment, and then clean themselves up, and strive to show their best and most spiritual side in front of the boss. But this aunt doesn't need it, she gets a reminder from an assistant or agent before going out, and she can call the big boss directly and say that I will go to your office now, which is very polite. Under normal circumstances, if she has something to do to go to the company, she will go directly to the company, knock on the door and enter.

But there is no way, don't talk about the inside of Lake Culture, the entire Chinese entertainment industry knows that Li Qian and Bai Yujing are hardcore and sworn friends. Bai Yujing also publicly said in an interview that Li Qian was her best friend.

And from the perspective of the actual coffee position within the Minghu Culture Film and Television Department, even before the popularity of "Big Shot" made Bai Yujing directly transform into a movie actress, she was the absolute eldest sister in the actor circle.

Although she herself is not the kind of arrogant and calculating person, however, the qualifications are there!

The most popular batch of little flowers in China in recent years, Minghu Culture has taken over most of them, but if you count them from the beginning, He Yingyu, Qin Jingjing, Liu Yan, Zhao Qing, etc., they are all little sisters.

Zhu Qiang, Zhou Zhiyu, and Zhou Baoshan must be respectful and polite.

Oh, by the way, there is also a new actress Zhao Yingying who has just become popular, don't look at the Cannes actress, you still have to go to the back row!

Not to mention anything else, the key is that the entire film and television department of Minghu Culture started with a "Legend of the New White Lady"! The qualifications are old enough, the connections are DIAO enough, and the reputation is good enough, it is enough!

He Yingyu is so red, she is willing to take Bai Yujing as the eldest sister, who dares to dance?

The car turned off the fourth ring road, and soon came to the entrance of the underground parking lot of Minghu Building, and from a distance, there were several paparazzi who were fixed here to see this business car, and they suddenly became energetic - the group of people who have been stationed in Minghu Building all the year round know who is sitting in which car.

The camera was picked up, first clicked and took a few photos, watching the car approach the entrance, the speed slowed down, they quickly rushed over, while moving quickly under their feet, keeping up with the speed of the car, while putting the camera close to the window glass, regardless of whether they could shoot through the film, first clicked and clicked, and then they didn't dare to shoot the window, but they just shouted loudly, "Niangniang, Niangniang, accept an interview......? Just a minute......"

Bai Yujing in the car rolled his eyes helplessly.

In "The Legend of the New White Lady", the White Lady is called "White Lady", and in "Princess Huanzhu", the role of the queen is a "Niangniang", so, well, since then, she has been called "Niangniang" by reporters.

But how ugly the word is!

It's awkward anyway!

The car went into the underground garage and the paparazzi disappeared.

Park the car, get out of the car, get into the elevator, the agent goes to the fourth floor, she goes up to the eighth floor.

Bai Yujing was dressed in homely clothes, and when the elevator was about to open, she couldn't help but yawn, but as soon as the elevator door opened, she immediately became energetic.

Walking in, starting from the front desk and ending with the staff I met on the road, as long as I saw her, they all smiled affectionately and said, "Hello Sister Bai!", or, "Hello Sister Jing!"

Bai Yujing gave everyone a smile.

Outside the artistic director's office, on duty today was another assistant of Li Qian, that is, the niece of Cao Zhan's third aunt, named Fang Shengnan, who is said to be a musical talent.

Bai Yujing said hello, knowing that Li Qian was there, he didn't need Fang Shengnan to help knock on the door, he went over and knocked on the door, and then pushed the door and entered.

Li Qian was sitting on the sofa, and the tea table in front of him should have been freshly brewed, the tea was fragrant and steaming—considering that he had made a phone call before going out, this should have been specially waiting for him.

Look, the teacups are both!

But what's even more interesting is the strange thing he is holding in his hand.

It's like a model.

Seeing Bai Yujing come in, Li Qian just raised his head and beckoned her, "Come over and drink tea!" and then continued to look at the things in his hand in a different direction.

Bai Yujing went over and sat down, stared at the thing too, and asked, "What is it?"

When Li Qian heard this, he handed over the thing and said, "Model, the battleship in "The Matrix"! This is a miniature version, is it handsome?"

Bai Yujing stared at it, and after a while, he took it and looked at it seriously, and complained: "It looks so strange!"

Li Qian laughed, "You know a fart!"

"Cut!" Bai Yujing disdainfully returned the things to Li Qian, picked up the teacup in front of him and took a sip, and then instantly remembered the purpose of his coming to the company today, and couldn't help but lift his feet, remembering that he was wearing shoes, so he put them down, but he still couldn't help but complain: "You want to tire me to death!"

Li Qian looked up at her.

Bai Yujing raised his fingers and counted the same, ""The third part of "Princess Huanzhu" has been filmed for more than two months, I just took a breath, and I entered the group of "Big Wrist", "Big Wrist" didn't stop for long after filming, let me spend a New Year, followed by "Never Look Away", this "Never Look Away" has just been completed, you arrange another one for me, and it is about to start filming! After filming this "The Legend of the Condor Heroes", I will be tired and crippled, you know?"

Li Qian was a little aggrieved, and defended: "It's Lao Han who said it, except for you, he doesn't feel that anyone who plays Mei Chaofeng is not strong enough!

Bai Yujing glanced at him, "It's your business!"

After a pause, he took a sip of the teacup, and said, "But Lao Han is still quite discerning, and I also think that I will definitely be able to perform a super handsome Mei Chaofeng!"

Li Qian looked at her helplessly, "That means I still want to act!"

Bai Yujing glanced at him again, "Of course I don't want to act! If it weren't for the fact that this is the company's play, and it's also "The Legend of the Condor Heroes", I'll tell you, I won't even think about it!"

"Hypocrisy!"

Li Qian sarcastically mocked her mercilessly.

Bai Yujing didn't care, rolled his eyes beautifully, and tilted it on the sofa, "It's hypocritical, what's wrong?"

Then he simply took off his flat heels and sat cross-legged on the sofa.

Flattered.

Tired, she's really tired lately!

But who made her popular now!

It is said that an actress of her age should have been a little embarrassed, the youth role is not easy to accept, and other dramas are temporarily a little lacking in confidence, if you want to successfully complete the transformation and continue to be popular, you must have a middle-aged work that is completely popular, or at least a work that blurs the age.

But from the gentle and heroic spirit of the White Lady in "The Legend of the New White Lady", to the cruelty and viciousness of the queen mother in "Princess Huanzhu", and then to the beautiful and stunning vase in "Big Names", Bai Yujing, who was once China's first jade girl, has already completed the transformation ahead of schedule.

Twenty-five to fifty years old, even with good makeup, can be extended to seventy-five years old, she eats it all!

Decent villain, take it all!

Even, she is still a rare movie and TV series all-inclusive, and she eats comfortably and comfortably, and she doesn't feel that there is a problem at all - under normal circumstances, if you let an actor who has just played the heroine in a movie with a box office explosion of more than 500 million go back to act in a TV series, it is unthinkable!

What's more, it's still a supporting role in a TV series?

But Bai Yujing didn't care at all.

Movies and TV series go up and down at will, don't worry about damaging the coffee position, play the positive role and negative role casually, don't worry about ruining the image - in this way, it will be free and easy, but it will make people look at it differently, but it will not damage her coffee position!
