Chapter 654: Nodding
Liu Dehua looked at this list of actors, and felt a lot more relaxed. Pen, fun, pavilion www. biquge。 info
It seems that Lin Zixuan is not as repulsive as the rumored Xiangjiang artists, and he was worried that Lin Zixuan would arrange a group of mainland actors to star in this film.
It's not that mainland actors don't have good acting skills, but it doesn't feel right.
Hong Kong films have a strong regional color, and the audience knows that this is a Hong Kong film at a glance, and the style is obvious.
The advantage is that it is highly recognizable, and once the audience accepts Hong Kong films, they will like this style.
The disadvantage is that the style is too strong to blend with other films, and if you want to enter a new market, you may not be able to adapt to the local environment.
This is a limitation, which limits Hong Kong films to Xiangjiang.
In order to adapt to the new rules and new audiences, Hong Kong filmmakers entering the mainland market are bound to make changes, which is a long-term process of exploration.
With Liu Dehua's network in Xiangjiang, it is not difficult to invite these actors to participate.
The only thing that gave him a headache was Liang Chaowei, the last time he and Liang Chaowei cooperated was ten years ago, and there are many reasons why they haven't cooperated for so many years.
At the beginning, both of them worked in TV stations and had just made a name for themselves.
The contract with the TV station is about to expire, and several people decide to jump ship together and develop in the film industry, and the TV station knows about it and disintegrates them, forcing them to renew a five-year long contract.
As a result, Liang Chaowei signed a contract, and Liu Dehua was suppressed by the TV station for refusing to sign and hid for a year.
This is the past in the early years, more than ten years have passed, and after experiencing the ups and downs of the entertainment industry, they have matured and changed their perspective on things.
There may have been some struggle of ambition when I was younger, but now I am more pragmatic, and cooperation is not impossible.
In fact, there has been no cooperation over the years, mainly because the two have different acting paths.
Liang Chaowei gradually embarked on the route of literary films after meeting Wang Jiawei in the early 90s, while Liu Dehua continued to wander in commercial films, and the two sides lacked the basis for cooperation.
Moreover, they are all big stars in the Xiangjiang film industry, and it is a bit troublesome to arrange them in one play.
For example, how much is the salary, the problem of the role, all kinds of treatment, etc., must be considered.
Liu Dehua believes that if he and Liang Chaowei cooperate again after ten years, they will definitely become the focus of media attention, the question is whether to cooperate?
He stood up and walked to the window of his office, looking out at the view.
This canopy company is a film company that he recreated with his partners.
In ninety-five years, due to a loss of more than 40 million Hong Kong dollars, Tianmu Company went bankrupt and went bankrupt, and it took him five years to make a film to pay off his debts, and he finally paid it off this year.
So, he decided to make a comeback and reorganize the Tianmu Company.
Having learned the lessons of the past, he has focused his investments on small-budget films.
"Infernal Affairs" is not his best choice, but since it is Lin Zixuan's investment, he can use this film to exercise, sort out the contacts in the circle, and prepare for investing in the next movie.
Lin Zixuan will not be the producer of "Infernal Affairs", he does not have that time.
Once the two sides reach a cooperation agreement, he will send someone to Heung Kong to oversee the production process of the film, including various expenses and coordination of personnel relations.
After all, Haomeng Company is not familiar with the Xiangjiang entertainment industry, and the main work is still handed over to Liu Dehua's company.
Lin Zixuan is the producer, and Liu Dehua is the producer.
He will invite Wen Jun as the producer, which is equivalent to handing over most of the rights to the Xiangjiang filmmakers.
He gave Liu Dehua and others great autonomy, on the one hand, to prove that he was willing to cooperate with Xiangjiang filmmakers, and on the other hand, he could make a film with a pure Hong Kong flavor.
His goal is on a sequel to Infernal Affairs.
When "Infernal Affairs" is successful and becomes a city-saving work, he will definitely make a sequel, and at that time he will add the cast and crew from the mainland.
Either don't shoot it, or use my people to shoot it, and break into the film market in Hong Kong in this way.
The film circle in Xiangjiang is extremely xenophobic, and it is difficult to use gentle means to achieve results, and Lin Zixuan has no ambition to conquer the Xiangjiang film market, which is unrealistic.
He just opened a gap and let the Good Dream Company enter and use the various resources of Xiangjiang to grow himself.
It may also set up a branch in Heung Kong and acquire a cinema to show mainland films.
It doesn't matter if you can make money or not, it is to occupy a place and prove the influence of Good Dreams.
Lin Zixuan gave Liu Dehua generous conditions, in addition to being responsible for the production of the film, he is also the starring role of the film, including the release and distribution of the film in the later stage.
The salary is up to Liu Dehua to choose, whether to only get the salary, or to take the guaranteed salary plus the box office account.
It depends on whether Liu Dehua has confidence in this play.
At present, Liu Dehua's salary in Xiangjiang is 7 million Hong Kong dollars, plus Leung Chaowei and other actors, the salary alone accounts for more than half of the total investment.
This is normal in Hong Kong.
Xiangjiang's commercial films are sold by stars, with high salaries, and they don't pay much attention to the quality of the films.
Lin Zixuan's conditions are so generous that Liu Dehua can't refuse, it's like taking more than 20 million for him to play casually.
Thinking about the "Hero" that Lin Zixuan is producing with an investment of up to 150 million, 20 million is really nothing.
Lau Dehua truly feels that mainland film companies are not what they used to be, and if Hong Kong filmmakers want to get development opportunities, going north may be the only way out.
This cooperation with Haomeng Company is also an opportunity for him.
Xiao Ye met Wang Baoqiang in the company who had just returned from filming.
Wang Baoqiang sat upright in a chair, his back straight, his hands drooping, and his eyes looking straight ahead.
Xiao Ye looked at Wang Baoqiang's resume, he was only seventeen years old, and he was generally still in school at this age.
She was very interested in Wang Baoqiang's experience of learning martial arts in the Shaolin Temple, and it was hard to imagine that this seventeen-year-old boy had been a monk for six years and had been a group performer in the capital for nearly a year.
Xiao Ye knows something about group performances, and it is not easy to persist for a year.
There is director Li Yang's evaluation of Wang Baoqiang on the resume.
Li Yang has a high evaluation, thinking that Wang Baoqiang is malleable and a good seedling to be an actor.
Xiao Ye didn't see it on the immature face in front of her, she noticed that Wang Baoqiang was quite nervous, which reminded her of the students who were in class.
"Don't be nervous, what do you want?" Xiao Ye asked.
"There is no requirement, as long as you can act. Wang Baoqiang replied immediately.
After filming "Blind Well" and returning to the capital, Li Yang and Wang Baoqiang confessed that as long as they can enter the Good Dream Company, they will not have to be a group actor in the future, but a formal actor.
He is nervous because the young girl in front of him will decide whether he can become a full-fledged actor or not.
has been an extras for nearly a year, Wang Baoqiang originally thought that he was far away from the official actor, but now he is close at hand, as long as the girl opposite nods.
"Alright, you'll be my person from now on. Xiao Ye closed his resume and nodded.
