Chapter 383: The Quartet Comes to the Dynasty

Not surprisingly, Gu Biao quickly caught Director Bertolucci, who was about to leave Qiantang, and then dragged him to chat with a European and American businessman.

After hearing that Bertolucci was nominated for the Palme d'Or at Cannes, the foreign businessmen also gave him the curiosity and respect he deserved, and all parties talked and laughed happily.

It's a pity that Bertolucci's filming work in Qiantang was completed a few days ago.

He is still in Qiantang now, just because the scenery and environment here are better, and the post-editing work can be done anywhere, so he edited it behind closed doors in Qiantang.

Chris Galvin and other foreign businessmen wanted to observe the crew that was being filmed, but they couldn't find Bertolucci to make it happen.

"Brother Qiu, has the crew been pulled in the park to take over at present?

Qiu Qing didn't know what Gu Biao had communicated with foreigners in a foreign language before, and explained very quickly: "Yes, there is a crew from Xiangjiang Great Wall Pictures - if it weren't for this, how could I have pulled Liu Xiaoqing to receive foreign businessmen." It's just that today in order to let everyone visit the park, I persuaded them to temporarily shut down. ”

"Hey, you don't understand, people are just curious about the Chinese film industry and want to see the actual filming process, go and arrange it, let them act immediately. Gu Biao commanded.

He was still wondering that when he received foreign businessmen just now, among the beauties who greeted her, there was also Liu Xiaoqing, a popular female star in the mainland (of course, it is not that Liu Xiaoqing is so beautiful, but that she is mixed in the pile of beautiful women)

At the beginning, Gu Biao thought that Liu Xiaoqing only appeared with Bertolucci's crew, after all, she replaced Wu Junmei in history and became the concubine in "The Last Emperor".

However, in the plot involving the scene of the Old Summer Palace, there is no scene of Concubine Shu, so when Bertolucci was filming in Qiantang, Liu Xiaoqing did not follow, but now it has appeared, which is inevitably strange.

Now, Gu Biao has figured it out: people are busy with business, and after filming a new film appointment, they come to Qiantang for other dramas.

A few minutes later, the leaders of several crews were brought to Gu Biao.

There are Director Li of Great Wall Pictures, as well as the male and female protagonists Liang Jiahui and Liu Xiaoqing. In addition, there is a producer sent by a Chinese film co-production company - this is also the standard mode of domestic co-production.

Gu Biao of Great Wall Pictures is no stranger now, that is, a Xiangjiang film company with a mainland capital background, and "Shaolin Temple" more than two years ago was also co-produced by this company.

When Gu Biao was filming "Shaolin Temple", he helped the other party contact the filming location and sponsor Wu Zhi, the senior management of Great Wall Pictures had a good relationship with Gu Biao, and they also knew his strength.

The China Film Co-production Company is a new company that has just been established for less than two years, and it didn't exist when "Shaolin Temple" was there.

But in any case, as long as you hear that the title of a company is "China XX Company" in these years, the card must be very high in the local area, and the general local leaders can only eat and drink well.

The previous "The Last Emperor" was also a co-production, with foreign investment, assistance from the Chinese side, and a deputy producer from China Film Co-Production. However, that project was led by the Ministry of Culture, and China Film Co-production had little right to speak, so they were also used to being in a weak position in front of Gu Biao.

After all, the foreign investment background behind Gu Biao is too strong.

"Miss Liu, thank you. Gu Biao politely shook hands with the other party in the posture of leading the inspection, and thanked him gentlemanly.

Liu Xiaoqing was a little confused, thinking that it was for today's business, and hurriedly said, "You're welcome." ”

But Gu Biao made it clear why: "It's not for today, I mean last month, during the Spring Festival Gala, thank you for singing the song I wanted to hear." ”

As soon as these words came out, from Qiu Qing downwards to the local leaders of Huiji and Xiao County, they were all in awe.

The first CCTV Spring Festival Gala was released to the public, and there were a total of three hotline opportunities to order songs, even if you are the mayor of a prefecture-level city, it is impossible to click on it. But Gu Biao can point out through Bertolucci's special line, how extraordinary the background and energy are.

The foreigners on the side didn't understand the stalk here, and thought that Gu Biao was just polite to the lady.

Then he was said by the translator who accompanied him in a deep way, and then he was further impressed by Gu Ao's energy.

"What the hell is Gu's origin? Isn't he just a businessman in the communications and electronics industry?" Chris Galvin was shocked, and felt more and more that Gu Wei had become mysterious.

"He is a student of Kissinger, and I heard that there are 60 graduates of China's first Foreign Affairs Academy, and he can be singled out and sent to His Excellency Kissinger for a doctorate, and His Excellency Kissinger is still willing to accept it, do you think the energy can be small?" said some of Chris's public relations staff.

Chris thought about it, and this is indeed the truth.

Director Li and the actor Liang Jiahui on the side were even more respectful of Gu Biao, and they threw themselves on the ground.

Gu Biao asked the director very calmly: "Director Li, by the way, what is the name of your film? There were a lot of stories from that era, and I remember them all. ”

Director Li replied respectfully: "I am filming "The Burning of the Old Summer Palace", and I will follow "Listening to Politics with the Curtain" immediately after filming, this is a series - Xiao Liu is going to play Cixi this time, which is much higher than the concubine in "The Last Emperor". ”

The last half of the introduction is more of a joking tone.

Gu Biao nodded.

He didn't know much about these two films, and later generations would use the big production of the Old Summer Palace simulation landscape, and he only remembered the "Opium War" in 90. Therefore, after the three major attractions of the New Yuan Ming Palace were built, he was worried that he would not be able to make full use of the park in the short term.

Unexpectedly, there were such matching scenes as "The Burning of the Old Summer Palace" and "Listening to Politics with the Curtain" sent to the door, which helped him slightly dilute a lot of costs.

"Well, yes, these two films, how much did Great Wall Pictures spend on renting the scenes. Gu Biao asked with concern.

Director Li looked at the Chinese Film co-production producer next to him, and then said with a smile: "Of course, it can't be compared with the French-funded big productions, at present, the venue rental fee of 250,000 Hong Kong dollars is negotiated for a month, and the two films will use at least 6 months of Yuanmingyuan to give 1.5 million Hong Kong dollars." ”

1.5 million Hong Kong dollars, if placed in Shaw Brothers, it is not very little, Shaw Brothers is now in the small production, 10 tens of thousands of movies will be available.

However, considering the grade, scale, and realistic luxury of the New Yuan Ming Palace invested by Gu Ao, 250,000 yuan a month is too much cabbage price, which is equivalent to only 8,000 Hong Kong dollars a day.

To build such a large park today, the cash investment will be at least 200 million Hong Kong dollars, and the park of more than 400 acres will only rent 3 million yuan a year, and even the return on investment of 2% will not be enough.

You must know that "The Last Emperor" spent $25 million in filming investment, and the scenery and rental alone accounted for more than $6 million. At the current exchange rate, it is equivalent to 20 million or 30 million Hong Kong dollars, which is 50 times the filming budget of "The Burning of the Old Summer Palace"! (Of course, not all of them are the rent of the New Old Summer Palace, because "The Last Emperor" also occupies many studios, including the Forbidden City)

However, if Great Wall Pictures doesn't use it, the New Yuan Ming Palace will have to be empty for a few months. Now that "The Last Emperor" has not yet become a sensation, the advertising effect has not yet been hit, and Great Wall Pictures can be regarded as advertising for Gu Biao.

"You can be regarded as giving me a support, this price, I understand it, shoot well, if there is no problem, it will be turned on normally today, and it will be visited by foreign friends. Gu Biao patted Director Li on the shoulder and said kindly.

Of course, Director Li said that there was no problem, and then instructed the field affairs to start preparations.

Taking advantage of the preparations over there, Gu Biao grabbed Liang Jiahui again and expressed his condolences to the situation with the posture of leading the inspection work.

"Your name is Liang Jiahui, right? How old are you?"

That tone was quite like the chief asking the little comrade, "How old are you?"

However, Liang Jiahui was really calmed by Gu Biao's aura, and replied restrainedly: "Don't dare, don't dare, I'm just mediocre, how can Gu Sheng be handsome and handsome." At the age of 25, I am ashamed that I have not achieved anything. ”

He is still wearing a dragon robe at the moment, and the role he will play in a while is Emperor Xianfeng.

A person in a dragon robe was cautious in front of Gu Biao, and he looked a little awkward.

Those foreigners and accompanying leaders also felt very awkward.

Gu Biao kindly disintegrated the other party's nervousness: "Where did you learn acting, what did you act, how did you get selected, don't be nervous." ”

Liang Jiahui answered all questions: "I am from the wireless actor training class, and I have only run the trick before. This time, I was recommended by one of my classmates at the same time, and other newcomers were afraid that they would be blocked by the Wanwan market because they came to the mainland to film, so I seized the opportunity.

My classmate, last year, seized the opportunity that most people were afraid of being blocked and did not dare to come to the mainland, and got the first opportunity to come out, and I think that sooner or later he will have a future in the mainland. ”

Gu Biao said curiously: "Your classmate ...... Could it be Andy Lau?"

Liang Jiahui was quite surprised: "Gu Sheng has also heard of Andy Lau? That means he is right, I thought that the "Running to the Angry Sea" he filmed in Hailan last year did not do well in the mainland, and Gu Sheng must not have heard of it.

If his name can be heard by Gu Sheng, even if he is banned by Wanwan for five years and ten years, it is worth it. Many newcomers who are not famous in our Xiangjiang circle now say that they are not afraid of being banned by Wanwan. I'm afraid that I will be blocked by Wanwan, and I won't be able to change it for a hit and be heard by Gu Sheng, so I will die in vain. ”

The local leaders of Huiji and Xiao County, as well as the producer of China Film Co-production Company, were originally on the side to laugh and listen.

When they heard Liang Jiahui's words, everyone was shocked.

"It turns out that Hong Kong businessmen think like this? As long as it enters Gu Wei's ears, it can withstand the energy of being blocked by Wanwan Province? It turns out that Gu Sheng's current achievements in Hollywood are so important in the eyes of Xiangjiang people?"

Gu Biao listened, and hurriedly humbly: "Eh, this is too much, how can I care about someone, how can I be worthy of such a reputation, or the virtuous live in it, and the virtuous live in it~"

Set a small goal first, such as remembering in 1 second: book guest residence
