And because of the filming of this movie, his DreamWorks Entertainment also signed several new actors, such as Su Manyu and Li Xingjie, brothers who came to Yanjing to join him, all of whom were signed by him to DreamWorks Entertainment.

In addition to these people, Yun Qingxia, who was released from refrigeration, was also signed into DreamWorks Entertainment, after all, Yang Yu paid nine million liquidated damages for her, and she could only repay the money by working for Yang Yu.

The new actors, counting the previous Wang Baogen, the scale of DreamWorks Entertainment's contracted artists has expanded several times at once, which has also made DreamWorks Entertainment's personnel in charge of artist management overstretched.

Now these artists under Yang Yu are actually not well-known except for Wang Baogen, so they can cope with it for the time being.

But if these people start to become popular in the future, there will be not enough people now, and most importantly, he lacks a manager who can take charge of the overall situation.

Thinking of this, the idea of poaching Jin Yanqiu rose again in his heart, after all, Ren Qing was still too immature at work.

However, when he told Jin Yanqiu what he thought, Jin Yanqiu did not refuse this time, but just said that he would wait for the release of "Dragon Gate Inn" to be finished.

Hengdian Cinema is the largest film and television shooting base in China, and Yang Yu is here for the first time, but he has just arrived this time, which has attracted many domestic reporters.

It hasn't been long since the last time he and Jia Zidan happened, and this time his new move immediately made a heated discussion in the domestic media, because he was going to be a director and make a movie.

As the most popular young idol in China, his every move will attract a lot of attention, not to mention that he suddenly wants to be a director for such an unexpected thing.

This news was first revealed from Yang Yu's DreamWorks Entertainment, and later Galaxy Entertainment and Star Media also confirmed at the same time that they would co-produce a martial arts movie with Yang Yu's DreamWorks Entertainment.

Regarding Yang Yu's desire to be a director, the media circle was full of voices of decline, and they reprimanded Yang Yu for not doing his job.

As a singer, Yang Yu has attracted a lot of criticism for filming TV series before, and now he is directly becoming a film director, which makes the media think this is a joke.

And the most important thing is that in the crew list announced by the three companies, it was surprising to see that Yang Yu was not only the director and screenwriter, but also the responsibility of martial arts instructor.

Which industry insiders don't know, in martial arts films, martial arts instructor is an important position second only to the director, Yang Yu, a singer who debuted, is afraid that he can't even play a routine, why can he be the position of martial arts instructor.

In fact, in the crew list, the position of martial arts instructor also has a person named Li Xingjie, but this kind of nameless figure in the circle is naturally ignored by the media.

The media looked at the cast list again, and found that all the leading actors were unknown, except for the heroine Yun Qingxia, who was still known, and the others did not even have a work.

And even if Yun Qingxia is chosen as the heroine, in addition to wondering how she is unblocked, the media is still full of ridicule, a pure love movie actress who has been banned for two years is now going to make martial arts films, it's just a joke.

In the voice of ridicule and applause from the media, Jia Zidan, who Yang Yu offended before, naturally would not be indifferent.

After all, Yang Yu had offended him before, and now that he had reactivated Yun Qingxia, who was blocked by him, the anger in Jia Zidan's heart could not be suppressed for a long time.

However, the old fox did not speak out in person at first, but let his younger brother Jia Zifeng stand up first.

In an interview with reporters, Jia Zifeng ridiculed Yang Yu for not knowing the sky at all, saying that Yang Yu didn't even know what a martial arts film was, satirizing Yang Yu's incompetence, and asserting that this movie would definitely fail.

After Jia Zifeng, Jia Zidan secretly agreed with his younger brother's statement, and vaguely said that some young backs in the circle are too ambitious and do not work hard.

And many film critics in the circle are also not optimistic about Yang Yu's new film, although everyone thinks that Yang Yu has done a good job in screenwriting, but it is still a little difficult to accept the role of director all of a sudden.

In fact, not only is it difficult for media peers to accept, but even Galaxy Entertainment and Star Media, which participated in the investment, did not take this movie to heart, one of them was to give Yang Yu face, and the other was to get online with Yang Yu.

The two companies didn't even send someone to the crew, so it can be seen that these two companies only played with Yang Yu.

Among Yang Yu's fans, they also have their own opinions on Yang Yu as a director.

There are die-hard fans who will wholeheartedly support Yang Yu no matter what he does, and there are also those who are very unoptimistic like the media, and of course there are more rational feathers, but they just said that they can't make conclusions, and they will judge after the release of this movie.

A small number of old feathers said that they don't care about Yang Yu's TV series or movies, and only hope that Yang Yu will release the second official album as soon as possible.

In the midst of such divergent opinions, Yang Yu's start-up press conference held at a hotel near Hengxi Cinema was about to begin, and countless media reporters in the industry rushed to the scene to interview Yang Yu for the first time.

Before the press conference was about to start, in the backstage of the scene, Yang Yuzheng and the art of the crew knew that Li Jiyao was discussing the set of the Dragon Gate Inn.

This Li Jiyao was found by Fang Junning with great effort, but he is a well-known art director of costume films in China, and he holds two Golden Film Awards for Best Art Director in his hands.

Li Jiyao is not only capable of himself, but also has a very effective team, and after joining the crew, he completely took over many tasks such as set and costume design.

Most of the plot of this "Dragon Gate Inn" takes place in the inn in the desert, so the inn is the most important scene of the movie, and Yang Yu is very concerned about the scenery here.

However, due to the filming in the early stage, including the persecution of the minister in Dongchang, Zhou Huai'an's robbery of the law field, and the appearance of Yuhuatian played by Yang Yu, some scenes in the studio need to be used.

So the Desert Dragon Gate Inn is only Li Jiyao's people in charge of the arrangement, and Yang Yu can only supervise it remotely, but judging from the photos sent by the staff, this Li Jiyao's level is really worthy of his reputation.

However, this level is high, and the salary is naturally not low, in order to hire Li Jiyao and his team, Yang Yu paid a total of three million.

There are not many scenes in the whole "Dragon Gate Inn", and there are no big scenes, but the pure production budget is as much as 25 million, and a lot of it is spent on hiring behind-the-scenes professionals.

In addition to Li Jiyao, director of photography Song Cunnian and his camera team also took 3 million, plus Luo Qiyang, the executive director supported by Galaxy Entertainment, took 500,000, and these people alone spent more than one-fifth of the entire film's production cost.

In order to pursue the effect of excellence, Yang Yu spent most of the remaining expenses on renting equipment, costume production, scene layout, prop production and so on.

As for the actor's salary, Fang Junning, who served as the producer, calculated it and found that it was less than five million, including Yang Yu's salary of up to three million.

Moreover, Yang Yu's 3 million salary will not only be included in the investment, but also discounted.

Speaking of the remuneration of domestic actors, it is divided into several grades, less than one million is considered a grade, three million is considered a grade, and five million is a grade.

After that, the grade of 8 million to 10 million is a well-known star, and the 10 million is basically a first-line big brand, and the specific price must be negotiated in person.

On top of these, there is the superstar level, they can not only get a salary of 20 million, but also directly participate in the box office sharing, such as Zhao Zhuofan in the company, and Jia Zidan is at this level.

Although Yang Yu has never made a movie, according to his current popularity, it is actually normal to get a salary of five million.

However, in recent years, as the domestic film market has become more and more popular, the salary figures of these grades have a trend of further growth, which has also caused headaches for production companies in the industry.

Fortunately, because Yang Yu's film is all newcomers, he doesn't have to worry about this aspect and can invest most of the funds in film production.
