Chapter 200: Dragon Hunting
"Zhu Xian?"
Qiao Mu crossed Erlang's legs, carried a thick script, and lay on the recliner decadently, looking up at the sky with his head tilted, and repeated Zhao Liying's words in his mouth.
Zhao Liying sat in another chair, and she said, "Well, the tentative name is "Qingyunzhi". ”
"You play Baguio?"
"What's wrong? Can't I play Baguio?"
There was a charity party in the East China Sea, and Zhao Liying was invited to visit her old friends by the way. They exchanged a few friendly greetings and talked a few nonsense words about "how is it lately" and "how is the schedule", and then they got to the point.
Zhao Liying talked about the few dramas she has received recently, one of which is a big IP adapted from "Zhu Xian".
Qiao Mu hasn't watched the TV series, but he has dabbled in it. He touched his dry lips, he frowned, and said lazily: "I remember, that guy from Baguio received a boxed lunch very early. With your current popularity, go and play a supporting role?"
"No, it's resurrected. ”
“…… The screenwriter has a big brain, and there is nothing to say. Who is Lu Xueqi? That good guy, the goddess of my dreams. ”
"Yang Zi. ”
"Isn't that buddy a man?"
Zhao Liying collapsed, this guy's network is really narrow, she said: "Female, Xiaoxue in "Family with Children". ”
"Oh. ”
Qiao Mu suddenly realized that Xiaoxue was too familiar, so he gradually forgot about Yang Zi. For example, when he saw Xia Yu, he couldn't help but want to shout Liu Xing......
Speaking of Xiaoxue, playing Lu Xueqi like that, Qiao Mu always feels a little weird. After thinking about it for a long time, he looked at Zhao Liying and had an epiphany. Appearance, Baguio and Lu Xueqi are both goddess-level characters, and the appearance of these two seems to be slightly inferior.
Zhao Liying asked curiously, "What do you want?"
"Nothing. Qiao Mu shook his head and told a white lie.
"Where did Fat Di go? I came to the East China Sea, but I didn't find her. Zhao Liying's little hands were clasped together, resting on her knees and asking.
The good student's sitting posture was funny, but Qiao Mu had no time to appreciate it, and he said a little melancholy: "I went to the South China Sea to film." ”
"What about Yixing?"
"Also in the South China Sea. ”
"Wei Ting told you that he has a drama that lacks the second male lead, and asked if Yixing has a schedule. ”
It's been a long time since I've been shooting, and I'm catching up and chatting with friends, and I can't keep up with a lot of news. He rolled over, collapsed weakly in his chair, put the script in his arms, and said, "Wei Ting is a director?"
"No, he took on a TV series called "Old Nine Gates". recommended a few actors to the filmmaker, and the filmmaker thought it was good, so they agreed. ”
"Did he recommend Yixing? What does he have to do with Yixing, could it be that he has an ulterior secret?"
Qiao Mu listened to the news of the two of them and felt a little excited. But when I turned my head and thought about it, the two Xiao Shou didn't look at it at all, shook their heads, and continued to fall into a state of decadence.
Zhao Liying also thought about it, but she didn't take it seriously, she said: "They play together, and the relationship is very good." ”
?“ You have a good relationship, you both have opened a hot pot restaurant, and you both want to join the partners in the military catering industry, so you were not invited?" Qiao Mu teased.
The two had already said that they would open a hot pot restaurant and rob Lao Xue's business, and they did what they said, so they got a home not far away.
Zhao Liying smiled: "Invited, I'm the female number one." ”
"I thought the female number one was Yixing. ”
"Yixing offended you?"
"No, I don't. ”
"Then what are you doing by hacking him and saying bad things about him?"
Qiao Mu didn't realize that he suddenly disrespected the little brother, and he didn't have any psychological burden. He laughed for a while and said, "I don't know, maybe it's because I'm jealous of Yixing's youth." ”
Zhao Liying was speechless, she said: "Little Qiaozi, I'm afraid your brain is broken, you are one year old." ”
"Forget it, don't talk about this. Have you had time lately?"
Zhao Liying glanced at him, squinted her eyes and looked him up and down, and asked with some confusion: "You won't prepare any new TV series, right?"
"It's true, I only recently learned that Shiyang planned the filming of two online dramas. However, I am not looking for you, I have a movie that is about to be released, and I would like to invite you to attend the premiere. ”
"When. ”
"The day before the National Day, you should be free. ”
"Well, it's very idle. I've been idle lately, and there's a TV series to shoot in a few days. ”
"Which one?"
"Auspicious Heavenly Treasure". ”
"What?"
When Qiao Mu heard the name, he felt a little confused, what is the broken name?
"Auspicious Heavenly Treasure". ”
Zhao Liying repeated helplessly, looking at Qiao Mu's eyes a little unkindly. He was so shocked that he questioned whether he had just said the name of a certain thriller.
She paused, and then said: "It was a TV series jointly planned by our company and Tianyu, which was originally launched in May, but we were filming "Flower Thousand Bone" at that time. Roll your play, you will definitely not dare, just press it back. ”
One, two, three, in the next few months, she has three TV series resources. This product seems to be really popular, and the resources of the TV series have overflowed. He asked: "When will Qingyunshi Lezhi and "Old Nine Gates" be filmed?"
"At the end of November. ”
"At the same time?"
""Old Nine Gates" early, Qingyunzhi in early December. ”
Qiao Mu said in surprise: "That's not a rolling drama, two dramas are filmed at the same time?"
Zhao Liying didn't deny it, she told the truth bluntly, she said: "Three, there is still a movie to be made in December." ”
"Are you busy?"
"I don't know. It's good to have filming, whether it can be busy. ”
"That's fine. ”
Speaking of which, the gap between people lies in the fact that some artists are dedicated and model workers, and some artists are just concerned about making money and scum.
This drama belongs to the model worker. As long as it is not produced by Shiyang, then she will roll it at will, anyway, it will not affect the broadcast effect of "Flower Thousand Bone".
When he mentioned this, Qiao Mu remembered, he said: ""Flower Thousand Bone" was sold. ”
"When will it be broadcast?"
"Mango Terrace. Broadcast at the end of the year, and the finale at the end of the year. ”
Upgraded to the gold owner, the name was instantly changed from the toilet counter to a fruit, Qiao Mu is a very realistic guy.
"Divided?" Zhao Liying stretched out her hand and stretched out her waist and asked. She thought that Shiyang had a falling out with Jiangsu and Zhejiang Satellite TV, so she broke up and went to cooperate with Mango Satellite TV.
"Nope. Jiangsu and Zhejiang bought He Yihe Weiwei, and they also have a lot of TV series in their hands, I am afraid that if they are released, they can be put in the year after tomorrow. ”
"Oh. ”
As an artist in southern Hunan, the TV series she filmed has been broadcast on Jiangsu and Zhejiang Satellite TV for a long time, which is not good. "Flower Thousand Bone" was sold to Mango Satellite TV, she breathed a sigh of relief, relaxed, and said leisurely: "When are you going to get married?"
She jumped a sentence.
Qiao Mu was a little surprised, and then said calmly: "Estimated, this year." I told Shi Shi about the first half of the year. But she was pregnant and couldn't wear a wedding dress, and after giving birth, she still had to recuperate, and I still had some TV series to shoot, so I kept putting it off. ”
Zhao Liying smiled and said, "That's good, wait for you to eat the wine." ”
Qiao Mu's arm was rested on the chair, looking at a cloud like a cat floating in the sky. He sighed and said, "Wait for my invitation!"
"Hah, you need to hurry, then. Don't keep procrastinating, otherwise the child will be able to make soy sauce. ”
"Well, I'm not too small. ”
"It's not small......
Zhao Liying grinned and wanted to beat people. He was a post-90s generation, and he ran to his post-85s generation and sighed that he was not small.
……
After filming "Looking for the Dragon", the crew dispersed, and occasionally ran variety shows, and basically never got together again outside of the movie to promote it.
Especially Qiao Mu, the master, almost doesn't run variety shows with the big guys, he seems to be arrogant, and he is a cancer.
However, he is the producer, so there is no gossip.
A few days before the National Day, they joined hands again and reunited in the East China Sea.
It's not a premiere, after that, they'll be seven days and thirty-four cities. They will split into two small units to go to the roadshow.
In order to promote and build momentum, and to get a good box office result.
Thinking about the concept of fighting in the ring with "Nine-Story Demon Tower", "Looking for the Dragon" also ran out to join in the fun.
As a result, this National Day file is particularly joyful and crowded.
In addition to Xu Zhen's "Hong Kong", there are also movies such as "Nine-Story Demon Tower", "Rescue Mr. Wu", and "Mind Agent".
However, in the original time and space, the quality of many works is worrying, and they have hit the streets. So much so that Charlotte's films below the baseline can rely on word-of-mouth to counterattack and hit the box office of more than one billion.
Qiao Mu is full of confidence, "Looking for the Dragon" is not a big seller, that is, it is intolerable.
Excluding the total remuneration of 200 million actors who were falsely exposed, the production cost is as high as 300 million.
The shooting team is a professional team in Hollywood, and IMAX's visual and technical effects can make people satisfied.
Props and artwork are all piled up one by one with money.
In particular, the special effects are the joint works of seven domestic special effects companies. Compared to Hollywood, their time is slightly slower at the same level, but the quality is not lagging behind at all. Besides, it's cheaper......
In the trailer, the special effects and scenes of "Looking for the Dragon" crushed "Nine-Story Demon Tower", and it is reasonable to kill all works in the same schedule in seconds.
Even the actors criticized by fans also cut out a very good effect in the trailer.
To tell the truth, Qiao Mu was abused by the two monsters Xia Yu and Jiang Bei in turn, and vaguely found the feeling of shooting, and advanced by leaps and bounds.
Even if it's not very good, Hu Bayi on the screen will never let you attend, it's comfortable.
Because of this, some fans even feel weird, afraid that their idols have been promoted to a powerful faction. When the time comes, stepping on three golds, punching the three major Europeans, and sweeping the North American film industry with contempt, isn't it joyful?
Dreams are meant to be had, and reality is already cruel.
"Looking for the Dragon" once became one of the most anticipated works by fans.
The other is "Port".
In the original time and space, Lu Yang's filming of "Embroidered Spring Knife" had a box office of nearly 90 million, which was amazing.
And "Sewing Machine Band", with a box office of hundreds of millions, is hitting the street.
The most popular theme in China, no one can be sure, but it's right to make comedies. No one likes to watch crime, suspense, action, and martial arts.
In the Ip Man series, if the real bullet doesn't beat the islanders and doesn't sell the national feelings, how can it sell the box office?
The selling point of "Dragon Gate Flying Armor" is actually 3D and Xu Laowei.
And the selling point of "Embroidered Spring Knife" in this time and space is actually the fan binding effect of the Qixi Festival. If the movie wants to hit the box office, it has a good reputation, a good genre, and a selling point to please the audience, but it also has to face the public.
However, if you want to make a wave of money, it's easy. If you do enough marketing work and accurate market positioning, you can always find the audience you want to deceive.
Take "Embroidered Spring Knife" in this era as an example, accurately find a few martial arts fans. They don't have to deal with it, they know that they are going to see it, and they don't need to spend a lot of brainwashing at all.
Just like the 14-year-old "Golden Age", the people who go back and forth for marketing are niche fans of literary films. They, the great thing is that they are three or four brushes, and you are also tens of millions of box office, who will hit the street if you don't hit the street?
After finding martial arts fans, expand the genre of the movie and change it to costume action, the audience of action movies will be even more. Finally, it's the fan economy.
There was no heroine in Lu Yang's earliest manuscript, and the heroine who added Shi Shi was simply to invite a vase to cheat the box office.
Qixi Festival is a day of abusing dogs with male and female tickets, and movie tickets are sold in pairs, and there is no reason why the box office is not high.
Only with good positioning and deep marketing efforts, fan movies like the Small Times series and "After the End" can win high box office.
It was noon, the sun was shining, and the air felt like a heat wave was coming.
Qiao Mu parked the car and walked towards the building where Shi Yang was. There, there was a comfortable air-conditioning, and it was hot and cold, and he had goosebumps on his arms, but he was just right.
He skillfully walked into Shiyang, and the little girl at the front desk immediately got up to say hello, and followed the guide to the location of Xu Lao Wei.
The conference room was the one where Qiao Mu was frightened by his dignity in the cold light.
knocked on the door, and strode in.
There, in addition to Old Monster Xu, there is also a group of actors.
Old Monster Xu's hair was gray, his head was hanging down, he was holding his mobile phone to send emails, and his fingers were trembling a little, it seemed that he was really old. At this age, he is still so dedicated, cultivating immortals all day long, and he is also a model for my generation.
Looking back, I was too sleepy and too busy, so I gave up rushing points, which led to the loss of the rank of the king of glory and king.
Woohoo, shameful.
Old Monster Xu didn't know what this guy was thinking, so he got up and stretched out his hand and said, "Shepherd, you're here." ”
Qiao Mu held it, and he said, "Director Xu, it's no problem for you to speak, your Mandarin has a weird accent." ”
In fact, Tsui Hark's Chinese level is not bad, but the accent is very strange.
"Sit down. We talked about the tour after the premiere. Old Monster Xu didn't mind this ridicule, but beckoned him to sit down.
"Well, I deliberately asked for leave for ten days. ”
Qiao Mu thought of Farhati's gloomy face, and he felt that Gao Yuanyuan would definitely have a miserable life in the past ten days, maybe he couldn't stand the blow, boycotted the show, and ran home.
At the very least, let her go out into the sun for a few hours, and she'll definitely go crazy.
When it came to that day, Qiao Mu was a little afraid. The sun in the East China Sea is very prone to heat stroke.
He sat on Guan Xiaotong's side, and if he went over, it was Tang Yan's eldest sister. He put his arm on the back of the chair, glanced at Guan Xiaotong sideways, and said with a smile: "Xiaotong, you have grown taller." ”
Guan Xiaotong nodded and said with a smile: "Last time I went for a physical examination, it was 172." ”
"It's not easy for you. There are not many actors who can roar at your height, if I let Yixing or ask Lu Han to play with you, you have to bend your legs in flat shoes. ”
After speaking, Qiao Mu realized that something was wrong, he couldn't always be black Yixing, after all, his younger brother was also about 175 tall. He said: "There is no Yixing, it is Luhan." ”
Guan Xiaotong's girl is very shrewd, she said: "Mr. Qiao, is there any drama to be filmed?"
"There's a TV series called 'Mr. Good'. I have asked us to pull investment, but unfortunately it is a joint production. It is said to be risk-averse, but in fact, it is borrowed from the name of our poetry. ”
"So, what do you say?"
This girl also changed to honorifics, what a ghost person.
Qiao Mu smiled and said, "I don't know. It was up to Shi Shi to decide, and she asked for a role. ”
"What character?" the excited one almost pounced on him and grabbed him by the neck and asked.
This half-concealed can't be finished in one breath?
"The hero's daughter, the role is very heavy. She's still hesitant to give it to anyone, but I think you're pretty old, yes. ”
"Oh. ”
This "oh" is very technical, and the answer is just right, which directly sealed Qiao Mu's idea of selling Guanzi.
He said, "I'll show you the script, you can see it yourself, and if you want to act, you can act it." The male lead is Sun Honglei, and Lu Han also starred in it, so I told you that when you play with him, you can't straighten your legs. ”
She nodded and said, "Well, thank you, Mr. Qiao." ”
Qiao Mu was a little melancholy, and he had a feeling that his daughter was going to get married, so he asked, "Xiaotong, Mr. Qiao asked." What kind of guy do you like?"
"Yi Feng. ”
Without thinking, the guy blurted out.
Qiao Mu squinted, and he said, "Are you teasing me?"
Her big eyes, revealing a kind of light, she said, "No." ”
That look was very sincere, Qiao Mu said awkwardly: "I'm talking about types." ”
"Those who are more than 1.8 meters tall must be able to play basketball, run fast, sing and dance, and the key is to be able to play the guitar......"
"Does this have anything to do with Yi Feng? His height, forget it, don't mention it. "Qiao Mu has filmed with him and understands it very clearly.
Even if you don't mention your height, can anyone else match him?
Guan Xiaotong said: "I mean, except for Yi Feng. ”
"Is there anything else?"
"Yes, you can't be particularly shy, don't always pull your hair and eyebrows with your little thumb. ”
Qiao Mu looked down at his hand, pressed his little thumb tightly, he smiled awkwardly, and said, "The mother you are talking about, is it the heart or the appearance?"
"In my heart. ”
No wonder.
Just based on Qiao Mu's understanding, the star who dares to scare the black car driver again and again is the deer girl. Although she looks like a mother, she still has some gentlemanly spirit in her heart, except for her height, everything else meets Guan Xiaotong's mate selection criteria.
Therefore, Qiao Mu said: "Xiaotong, you are still young, don't think about falling in love, you have a lot of career." ”
"Huh?"
Guan Xiaotong looked confused, asking so much, it turned out that he was not interested in himself.
"Ahem. ”
Old Monster Xu coughed twice, and said with a very stinky face: "Shepherd, we are discussing the matter of the group, are you listening?"
