It has been a month and a half since Gu Cheng got the big director Cai Mingliang. In the past month and a half, he spent most of his time dealing with the company's business, deciding all the major matters that needed his decision, and pointing out all the hidden dangers that he could find and assigning them to be handled.

After all, in the next two months, he will completely leave the company's business and concentrate on filming.

On Cai Mingliang's side, the preparations for all the crews have finally been completed, and the actors have all been scheduled.

After all, Gu Cheng has money, and the problems that can be solved quickly by relying on money are not problems.

You must know that this time also includes changing the script and familiarizing the actors with the script, so it is really rocket speed. The only fly in the ointment is that the time given to the actors to figure out the roles and enter the state is not very sufficient.

However, it is precisely because of the short preparation time that the few people in the industry who heard the specific news of this film all thought that Gu Cheng was inflated after being a nouveau riche, and he made a shoddy thing casually.

As for the injection of funds and other issues, Gu Cheng asked Lin Zhiling to help with the operation and made a joint venture film, that is, Eslite Brokerage's subsidiary in Fuso (the direct agency of Nakajima Mika, Horikita Maki and other artists) contributed half, and the parent company of Eslite Film and Television in China contributed half. In order to be able to enter the Asian markets more smoothly after the auction is completed in the future.

Although these two investors are actually behind Gu Cheng, after all, the former is registered in Fusang, which can help the film bypass many obstacles in censorship.

The start-up is imminent, and Gu Cheng is about to fly to Fusang. Pan Jieying wants to help him with some business, so naturally he can't accompany him. When parting, Pan Jieying helped Gu Cheng pack his luggage as usual, and had to complain to him a few words:

"After doing it for a long time, I finally got off the stage in person. I have to go to Fuso, I really don't understand what you think. ”

Gu Cheng enjoyed Pan Jieying's tie on his collar, and said comfortingly: "Sister, don't worry, I'm measured." I also made this decision after careful consideration - you see, this kind of film is a group drama, and it doesn't take much time for each actor to really join the group, even if it is the male lead, it doesn't take two months to shoot it if the queue is tight.

Besides, now the technology is convenient, not as good as the film shooting two years ago, and when I am not there in the future, the effect shot by Director Cai can be roughly cut in real time and sent to me for the purpose. Before the summer vacation, there was no big move in the company in all aspects, so you can help me keep an eye on it. Later, Renren.com/YY will canvass for votes with QQ talent show, and when the finals are high-tide, I will definitely come back. Besides, if I behave a little nouveau riche and be arrogant, maybe I can make Sun Zhengyi more courageous. ”

Regardless of Huami, after the IPO of a listed company, the original shareholders are not allowed to sell their shares to the public in the first year, which is "non-tradable shares shall not be converted into tradable shares", commonly known as "big and small".

However, there is another ban on sales on the NASDAQ that only lasts for half a year, which is stricter than the size of the non-sale. This means that in the first six months after the company's IPO, not only can the shares of the major shareholders not be sold to retail investors, but even the original major shareholders cannot trade with each other. The purpose of this provision is to ensure a smooth transition when a listed company is first listed, so as not to have drastic changes in management as soon as it comes up.

Therefore, even if Gu Chengke has changed his face vigorously in the past few months, used the money of Legend Entertainment to pave the way for YY Network Technology and Alipay, Sun Zhengyi hated it so much that he couldn't absorb the shares of other major shareholders at a high price and snatch control of the company, so he had to wait for this period of time.

At this time, Gu Cheng moderately behaved with self-aggrandizement, which could also make Sun Zhengyi's impulsive heart more "encouraged".

is really an actor in and out of the play.

Pan Jieying knew about Gu Cheng's earth-shattering pit, so she didn't continue to dwell on this issue, she pondered carefully, and asked tentatively: "In this way, you obviously need so many young new Fusang actors to film, but you insist on not using Xiaoya, and it is also to play for Sun Zhengyi? Do you want him to feel that the relationship between you and the Quan family is becoming more and more alienated because of the appearance of Li Ying, Ivanka and even other girls who are on you? Are you embarrassed to face Xiaoya?"

After asking this question, Pan Jieying kept staring at Gu Cheng's eyes, hoping to see some truth from his eyes.

She felt that she didn't know her cousin a little, she had obviously relied on each other for so many years, and now she was in love with each other, but she couldn't help but become strangers.

More than a month ago, when she first saw the script, Pan Jieying was shocked and couldn't figure out why Gu Cheng wanted to make a movie with a bit of an overhead Fusang background.

But when she thought about it at the time, she felt that in "Sunset in Sanchome", the female apprentice Hoshino Rokuko Hoshino, who was tempered with the male protagonist Cha Chuan, was definitely a role tailor-made for Quan Baoya.

What's more, when Gu Cheng was down last time, he still played "The Condor Heroes", and Liu Feifei, the female number one in the Condor, no longer cooperated with Eslite Film and Television because of the break between Gu Cheng and CCTV, and even "Fairy Sword" was not filmed by Liu Feifei. At that time, Quan Baoya played Guo Xiang, which was regarded as the second female lead next to Gu Cheng, and the ideological realm of the two could be compatible, so there was no reason not to use it this time.

You must know that with Hikaru Utada going to Hollywood in 2004 to develop, Quan Baoya is already the most popular singer in Fuso with the BUFF bonus of Gu Cheng, and even Ayumi Hamasaki and Namie Amuro have been suppressed. Even if it is for the box office of the movie, it is the wisest choice to go to Quan Baoya.

However, the final result was actually the use of a cute new Horikita Maki who had only studied acting lessons and had never played.

Pan Jieying immediately summarized this decision as Gu Cheng wanted to act for Sun Zhengyi, deliberately showing her estrangement from the Quan family and being embarrassed to see Quan Baoya.

"It's not entirely true, you don't know the potential of Maki Horikita, I've seen her audition performance, and she will definitely be a very powerful actress in the future. Gu Cheng explained weakly, in fact, in his heart, this matter was indeed businesslike. He knows the appeal and acting skills of the goddess of Japanese dramas in later generations, Horikita Maki, and in history, Horikita Maki made his debut with "Sunset of the Three Chomes".

However, even Pan Jieying didn't believe this, and Sun Zhengyi didn't believe it.

Horikita Maki, when Gu Cheng went to Kwon Boya's first concert in Roppongi, Tokyo, on the way home, he picked up the little Lori from another group of perverted agency scouts, and she was still Kwon Boa's brain-dead fan at the time. Who can believe that such a brainless little girl, after two years of amateur acting training, will be able to dig the corner of her idol back then?

……

It was very difficult to find a street scene that could be photographed in Tokyo in the 2000s from the late 50s and early 60s.

After all, before the early 60s, there were still bungalows of less than three stories in Tokyo, and after that, the number of buildings began to increase.

Today, with a metropolitan area of 30 million people, Tokyo is already the most three-dimensional city on the planet, where can you find old-fashioned chome houses full of bungalows?

Therefore, Tsai Mingliang personally traveled to many filming locations, and finally chose the main filming location of "Sunset in Sanchome" in an older neighborhood in Tokyo's Ota Ward, a district in the southeasternmost corner of Tokyo near Tokyo Bay, where Haneda Airport is located.

As we all know, the districts of international metropolises planning airports are the most backward places in the city, and the aviation safety needs of airports have led to the inability to build high-rise buildings in these places, which are often relatively primitive.

In addition to Ota, Tsai also chose Ibaraki Prefecture near Tokyo to shoot some shots that require a higher degree of antiquity of the scene.

In order to film, Gu Cheng also spent money on it, rented a house in the entire block for half a year, and lost money to the landlord to allow the crew to renovate the façade and street scenes.

During the filming of "Sunset in Sanchome", director Takashi Yamazaki only attracted an investment of 2 million US dollars, which is a veritable small-production art film with a shortage of funds, and so many unknown young actors and newcomers in the film were also used as a last resort because Takashi Yamazaki couldn't come up with money. (If you are in Hollywood, the investment of less than $6 million is considered an independent film, and you don't need to abide by any film union about the employment system, and you can shoot it casually.) ）

In the end, the box office of the film reached 30 million US dollars, which was 15 times the investment, and the net profit margin was 6 times, and 13 Academy Awards were slaughtered.

After it was in Gu Cheng's hands, all kinds of cutting corners due to lack of money naturally could not exist. And in terms of actor employment, Gu Cheng is not completely superstitious about the casting ideas of Yamazaki Gui in parallel time and space - the person Yamazaki Gui uses is not necessarily the most suitable, but he has no money. Now that Gu Cheng is rich, the Suzuki car family who lives across the door from Chachuan, the perverted doctor, and the other female supporting actresses around the dance hall proprietress Hiromi naturally want to use actors with better quality at a higher price.

He only needs the artistic expression of the film, and money is not a problem.

A few days after the May Day holiday, Gu Cheng himself rushed to Ota District, Tokyo. Director Cai and the other crew members and main actors have already arrived first.

Gu Cheng knew everyone one by one very modestly, and he didn't have a shelf at all.

"Fortunately, please give me a lot of advice in the future. "The first person who came up to greet Gu Cheng was a handsome guy in his early thirties with an angular face, it was the male No. 2 Jin Chengwu.

He also looked tired, and he didn't seem to be in a good state, mainly because he was too busy, and he had just withdrawn from the crew of Lao Mouzi's movie "Ambush on All Sides" in March.

"Well, everyone learns from each other. Gu Cheng's attitude was very peaceful.

"Brother Cheng...... Mr. Gu, please give me more advice in the future, thank you very much for giving me this opportunity, I will definitely work hard, and I will definitely not disappoint your cultivation!"
