The post-production of "Xu Sanguan Selling Blood" was basically completed and had to be sent to the General Administration for review, and before that, the film was screened for the first time in the Beijing Film Studio.

Lin Zixuan, Feng Xiaogang and Ge You were all present, and they also invited Li Yu.

After communicating with martial artists in the mainland, Li Yu was busy checking the location for the filming of "Crouching Tiger, Hidden Dragon".

He is not familiar with the mainland, only knows a general geographical location, and needs the cooperation of the mainland.

Good Dreams did a lot of preparatory work to find a suitable filming location according to the scenes mentioned in the script.

For example, there will be border deserts, palaces and buildings in the capital, quaint towns in the south, bamboo sea forests, and so on.

Mu Shanshan and Phoenix Satellite TV cooperated to produce a program called "Beautiful China", which has now recorded hundreds of episodes, and has traveled all over China.

The company's employees selected dozens of good-looking attractions from the program for Li Yu to choose from.

If Li Yu is satisfied, he will go to the field to make a decision, which greatly saves time.

Even so, it would take two to three months to finalize the dozen or so locations in the film.

Especially in the border desert, where transportation is difficult and local guides are needed to lead the way.

TV series can make do, and if the movie wants to shoot the real desert lonely smoke, you must go to the field to feel it.

The actual shooting time of the film will not be too long, it is expected to take only five months, mainly because the preliminary preparation work is time-consuming and labor-intensive.

Although Li Yu is in the capital, he will still keep in touch with Xiangjiang and deal with various affairs.

In October, Heungjiang's production team will come to Beijing in batches to work with mainland staff, including making props, building sets, recruiting and training actors, and so on.

Strive to start shooting next year and complete the shooting in the second half of the year.

Filmmakers in Hong Kong pay attention to efficiency, efficiency is money, and Hong Kong and the mainland are slightly different in terms of remuneration algorithms.

Taking martial arts as an example, the film "Crouching Tiger, Hidden Dragon" paid Wu Xing a million dollars, and this million dollars includes all the martial arts scenes in the entire film.

In the mainland, the salary is often calculated according to the time, how much is the monthly amount, and the longer the filming time, the higher the salary.

This is for the staff, the remuneration of the actors is the same, and it is calculated according to the whole movie.

When the actor signs the contract, he will generally indicate the filming cycle of the film, and the salary will be calculated separately after this time.

Otherwise, if a film is filmed for four or five years, and the actors still get the same salary, it will be a loss.

Of course, some directors can't make films quickly, such as Wang Jiawei in Xiangjiang, and if an actor wants to make his movie, he must be prepared to fight for a long time, and the salary remains the same.

These days, Li Yu is watching the program video of "Miramar Country" and choosing a location that he is satisfied with.

However, it is not just about working, but also about relaxation.

"Xu Sanguan Selling Blood" is the second film directed by Jiang Wen, and with the success of "Sunny Days", everyone has a lot of expectations for this movie.

The people who came were all well-known figures in the Beijing film circle, both directors and film critics.

The story is clear to everyone, Lin Zixuan's novel was published at the end of June, and the sales are not bad, and it has just exceeded 100,000 copies now.

There are several reasons for this, one is that Lin Zixuan won the Italian Literary Award, and readers are curious, and the second is that Lin Zixuan is a best-selling author in China and has a lot of popularity.

In addition, the novel was adapted into a movie by Jiang Wen, and all kinds of publicity are in place, and it is normal to have this sales.

At a time when pure literary books are in trouble, the hot sales of "Xu Sanguan Selling Blood" have given hope to publishers and other writers, with a focus on marketing.

Domestic writers often don't know how to sell themselves, and they just hand over their novels to publishers and don't care.

Publishing houses do not have much publicity for purely literary books, and mainly rely on the popularity of writers for publicity.

There are not many developments like Lin Zixuan in many aspects.

The adaptation of novels into film and television dramas is a current craze, and publishing houses and magazines are willing to cooperate with film and television companies to recommend writers' works to film and television companies to create income for writers.

In the case of "Xu Sanguan Selling Blood", Lin Zixuan can get 300,000 yuan for adapting it into a movie.

There are also TV dramas and various forms of stage plays, which work well, and the adaptation cost alone exceeds one million.

Therefore, how to promote one's own works is a subject that domestic writers and publishing houses need to study seriously.

In this regard, "Hundred Flowers" magazine did a good job, and they signed a "first view" agreement with Zhang Yimou in the 80s to connect writers and directors.

For the novel "Xu Sanguan Selling Blood", the domestic literary critics are basically praised.

However, some people are not very optimistic about Jiang Wen's movie, worried that Jiang Wen's film is too sharp, and it will not pass the censorship like "Alive" back then, and it will not be released in China in the end.

Some people also think that Jiang Wen will shoot this film in a similar style to "Alive", and it cannot surpass Zhang Yimou in artistry.

There are also people who doubt whether Ge You can break through, Ge You has made three Chinese New Year films, don't let the audience still feel like watching Chinese New Year movies, so the film will be ruined.

There are all kinds of voices in the circle, and Ge You is under a lot of pressure.

These days, although Ge You has been staying at home, he also reads the newspaper and communicates with friends.

He felt very good when he filmed, but after filming, he felt that it could be better, and he would be worried about this, whether the audience could accept it.

There is also pressure on Ge You to make a Chinese New Year film, but the pressure is not great, as long as the audience is amused.

treats literary films very seriously, he doesn't want to be treated as a simple comedian, art is still quite sacred in his mind, and he has a heart to become an artist.

"Brother You, what are you busy with? I heard that you like photography?" Lin Zixuan greeted.

"I'm busy, I just think it's fun, I bought a camera to take pictures of the scenery around me, it's the kind of photo that can be taken out, it's convenient, and I don't need to go to the photo studio to wash it. Ge Yu responded.

Ge You has a lot of hobbies, not just playing, he likes to ponder, and can polish his hobbies to a professional level.

People with hobbies have a taste of life, don't feel lonely, and can also relieve stress.

"Brother Feng is thinking about the next film, maybe it will be a collaboration with Hollywood, or a Chinese New Year film. Lin Zixuan reminded.

"Two days ago, Xiaogang mentioned it to me, he had an idea, I don't have anything, I'm afraid that foreigners will not adapt to our way of working, and it will be troublesome to communicate. Ge You worried.

"It's okay, in our territory, we can't get used to them too much, the people of China have already stood up. Lin Zixuan joked.

The two chatted a few words, and the movie began to show. (To be continued.) )
