138. The Alliance of Street Fighters, Assemble!
Where did these 10 million come from has finally become an unsolved mystery.
The source channels, guarantee agencies and donation methods, etc., have been verified several times in each link without any problems, if this is not used, it is simply unreasonable.
"I have a friend who is the guarantor, and I'm going back to ask him, but based on the anonymous non-disclosure agreement, I don't think there will be any progress. "The most is led by Fangzheng, and Mr. Zhao and the board of directors decided after thinking about it for two days: the money can be used.
With the top boss of the food chain as a guarantee, the filming of "Sword and Fairy" was successfully put on the agenda.
Unexpectedly won the Teen Choice Award, and after the crew of "Star Girl" completed the last week of filming, Hawke took Century Entertainment's fixed TV series shooting team to prepare for the start of filming at the speed of light.
What is depressing is that in addition to a few leading actors, there is no time to choose the supporting roles.
On the century side, in addition to Hawke and Yang Shanshan, Geng Jie was assigned to the role of Liu Jinyuan.
After seeing that he had no success in movies, the company wanted to try the TV series route, so he arranged a supporting role to see the situation first, and Geng Jie was like a different person after countless movies, and he didn't mind if he had something to shoot.
Hawke was pleased with the change.
has Su Yao to help make a cameo appearance, and Brother Wu of "The Emperor Ring" said that in addition to playing the role of Jiujian Immortal at a low price, half of the roles are to be determined.
Originally, Jiu Jianxian wanted to find Yang Xiao, after all, no matter how much Wu Ruibo lowered the price, he was still a movie café, and the price was there.
However, Yang Xiao has already found a home for the TV series, and there is a conflict in time, so he can only give up.
Now that several leading actors have come, let's shoot one step at a time.
With a huge balance store, it is not easy to find a low-cost trick?
With the original book as the foundation, Hawke hung the name of a screenwriter, and then invited one from the list of associate screenwriters that Century Entertainment has cooperated with for a long time, and the main job is to change the book into a script.
The assistant screenwriter is called Lin Xin, a working woman in her thirties, who completed a third of the script within a few weeks of receiving the assignment in mid-April.
"Teacher Lin, do you want to rest today?" Hawke looked at Lin Xin's terrifying dark circles and asked worriedly, every year there are screenwriters who enter the hospital due to excessive workload, and he doesn't want Lin Xin to be the next.
Lin Xin said that there was no problem at all.
This kind of artist is the main screenwriter, and the pleasure of the assistant screenwriter dominating all the plots seems to outweigh the fatigue, so that she doesn't want to stop at all.
Don't look at this person's behavior as a strong woman, the dialogue between the hero and heroine written is full of romance, at least it can make the female audience buy it.
Based on the special mechanism of TV series shooting, the director's status is not so important, and Hawke went to Jiang Shan to recommend candidates mainly because "Sword and Fairy" has a high control over special effects and scenes as a fairy tale drama, and if you find a director who shoots an urban sitcom, it will be absolutely doomed.
"How about Shi Lei, a classmate from my directing department? I made a space movie and a travel documentary. Jiang Shan said on the phone, "Although he has not been invited to make a film in the past three years due to the unsatisfactory box office of the movie, the composition and shooting techniques are excellent, and he is a layman, as long as he can be a director, he will try." ”
If you have Jiang Shan to guarantee Hawke, you can rest assured, otherwise a big man who makes movies, even if he once jumped on the street, what should he do if he came to the TV crew because of his friend's face.
After watching Shi Lei's "Space Walk", Hawke was quite satisfied.
The beauty of the picture and composition cannot be described, and then the plot can be scored 9.9 points, the kind out of 100 points.
It's really a good fit for such a director to shoot a TV series - the plot is the job of the screenwriter, as long as Shi Lei is in the crew and tells the plot, then he is the ideal candidate.
After the Century side passed on the intention, the other party replied the next day that they wanted to meet, as for the meeting place - the tea room next to the Shanghai Fourth Ring Metro Station.
Shi Lei is the same age as Jiang Shan, but he looks much older than the latter, and he is already full of gray hair.
When I saw Hawke at first sight, I ran over and shook hands with him: "I'm sorry, I live in Shangjing, and I came over yesterday after booking a train ticket and hurriedly chose this place." ”
The directors who didn't shoot projects were very poor, and Hawke didn't say anything, and after a few simple greetings, he got down to business.
"Mr. Huo, don't be in a hurry, I'll show you a few concept drawings I drawn. Shi Lei took out a thick stack of pencil albums very enthusiastically and showed them to Hawke, "I have seen your book roughly before, and I drew it after Lao Jiang told me about it, so don't mind if it's a little rough." ”
Hawk took the concept art without moving.
It is rumored that Shi Lei's space movie is because he himself cares too much about the perfection of the picture, and repeated shooting leads to an increase in time and shooting costs.
"Fairy Sword" can't stand the toss of funds, and no matter how perfect the picture is, it has to consider the problem of money.
Flipping through a few pictures, the more Hawke looked, the more strange it became.
Shi Lei seemed to read Hawke's expression and explained: "I spent a year thinking about it after the failure of "Space Walk", and I knew my weaknesses in the plot, and if I wanted to receive the project, I had to go simple and minimize the cost. ”
This picture is really simple but not simple.
"However, the props can be streamlined, and the costumes also need to be careful, otherwise they won't be able to support the picture. Shi Lei added.
"Don't worry, the crew has put a lot of effort into the costumes. ”
But no, Barklesss wants to use Hawke to promote the new main line and expand the business in China, and their efforts are equivalent to the efforts of the crew.
With a cup of tea, Hawke spent 500,000 Shi Lei tied to "Fairy Sword".
All the money that should be spent has been spent, and the other Hawkes have to find a bargain to pick it up.
......
Guangyue, Xinghui Media, more than 20 trainees sweated like rain in the training room.
"Stop!" said the dance teacher after stopping the accompaniment, "How many times have you said it, practice, the most important thing is to be happy, I don't want you to cry and mourn, do you want to wait for me to cook a bowl of noodles for you to eat in the evening?"
As soon as these words were finished, the trainees couldn't help but burst into laughter.
"Okay, after the joke is over, you have to understand that only nine people will make their final debut next year, if I were you-"
The dance teacher stood on a high platform and was interrupted by a familiar voice in the middle of his speech.
"Teacher, I'm sorry I didn't have to take a leave of absence. The boy said eagerly, "It's urgent." ”
The dance teacher looked unhappy when he was interrupted, but he didn't get angry when he saw the person who was talking, and nodded slightly.
After the boy left, there was a small discussion in the training room.
[It's not going to be a breakdown and going out to cry, is it?]
[If it's you, you made your debut, held a concert, and then you were beaten back as a trainee by the company, and continue to work hard for the next opportunity, can you persevere?]
[Isn't that also a matter of popularity? Anyway, Li Feng is almost 24, it's really miserable]
[No matter how miserable it is, I have won a singing show with my thighs, I will definitely kneel in the assessment next month, and go back to study and become a code farmer]
Hawke sat in the restaurant next to Xinghui for less than twenty minutes when Li Feng came over.
"I'm sorry to be late, Xiao Ke, I was training just now. Li Feng sat down, picked up the water cup, and took a big sip first.
They are all old acquaintances, and after the disbandment of the group, Hawke contacted Li Feng the most, and at this moment he also said without scruples: "Do you really want to fight for another year in Xinghui?"
If it was for Hawke to meet Xinghui, a company that consumes Li Feng's remaining traffic, and then sends him back to the trainee to continue squeezing, he would have changed jobs long ago.
Li Feng smiled bitterly: "Hey, there are so many newcomers in the entertainment industry every year, how can there be any company that wants me? Even Xinghui only gave me a contract extension for half a year, and there is no hope for anything else." ”
That's the truth.
"Why did you come to me today? Aren't you supposed to be busy with the Fairy Sword?" Li Feng asked.
After waiting for the waiter to serve the dishes, Hawke said: "I'm not verbose, you also know the haste of "Fairy Sword" from the project to the start of filming, many supporting roles are still poor, and I told you that I want to ask you for help this time." ”
"This-" Li Feng looked surprised, and then asked, "How poor is your crew, even I use it?"
These words have saved Hawke countless pen and ink.
"Uh, anyway, I joined the group in May, about two months of filming, you should have read my book and played that Tang Yu. Hawke was a little embarrassed after saying this, and after thinking about it, he asked tentatively, "Three meals are in charge, three, oh no, fifty thousand lines?"
"Insurance?"
"Big brother, we are a regular crew, what do you say?"
Li Feng nodded without thinking about it: "Of course it's no problem, of course I agree!"
