At a meeting, Chu Xuan took out the two scripts that had been prepared, a movie and a TV series, and asked Li Manni to decide whether to make a TV series or a movie next.
The movie is a classic comedy from the previous life: people are embarrassed. This small-budget film stands out like a dark horse among many blockbusters, although the final box office is only around 50 million, but only seven or eight million are invested.
Moreover, the follow-up Thai embarrassment and Hong Kong embarrassment box office is very high, and Thai embarrassment has also broken various records of domestic films.
The TV series is also the biography of Zhen Huan, which was popular in the previous life.
After discussion, it was finally decided to shoot people in embarrassment first, according to Li Manni's words, Zhen Huan's biography is a little too long, and it is more appropriate to shoot it later.
After the script is decided, it is time to prepare for the selection of roles and the development of the conference, originally Chu Xuan meant that Zhen Huan would leave a role for Mu Yao in the biography, and it would be forgotten if people were embarrassed, Chu Xuan felt that the small screen and the big screen needed different acting skills, and Mu Yao was not suitable for the big screen.
The protagonist is definitely not good, and Mu Yao's acting skills can't take on the role of the protagonist, so it is not a big problem to arrange a supporting role for Mu Yao to play.
But Li Manni disagreed, so she had to let Chu Xuan arrange a role for Mu Yao in embarrassment, even if it was a cameo, according to Li Manni's meaning, let Mu Yao show her face first, and warm up for the next drama.
Li Manni said that Mu Yao had helped Chu Xuan, but Chu Xuan couldn't help it, so she arranged a role for Mu Yao, playing the role of Li Chenggong's girlfriend who was looking for outside with his wife behind his back.
The choice of roles is all decided by Chu Xuan alone, Zhang Fan has no opinion, and believes in Chu Xuan's vision.
is completely based on the roles selected by the actors in the previous life, it is not that Chu Xuan has to be exactly the same as the previous life, it can only be said that most of the actors in this movie are in their true colors, and their performances are too classic.
After the personnel are selected, a press conference is held, which is the so-called first wave of propaganda.
At two o'clock in the afternoon, the press conference was held as scheduled.
"I heard that the investment in this film is only a few million?" The reporter who arrived in advance and his colleagues said.
"Unlikely, right? "Wulin Gaiden" has an investment of 20 million, and the first movie script written by the screenwriter Chu after his comeback, the investment should not be less, right? ”
"There shouldn't be a small investment of millions of dollars rumored outside. And I heard that this Mannie Film and Television Company is opened by a rich daughter, not bad for money! ”
"According to reliable sources, all the movies this time are newcomers, all newcomers in the entertainment industry, except for Mu Yao, but Mu Yao is a singer, and she is also a newcomer in the entertainment industry."
"Editor Chu and Director Zhang are really bold enough, although "Wulin Gaiden" is also a new person, but it is a TV series with 81 episodes, and it is a bit reckless to dare to let all newcomers play a movie of more than an hour, right?"
Under the many discussions, Chu Xuan and Zhang Fan took many actors on stage.
At this time, the host also came to the stage, and the host was a beautiful host specially found by Li Manni, who was very experienced, and he was hot in a few words.
A series of processes went very fast, among which when it came to the investment of only eight million, there was a burst of surprise at the scene, anyway, although "Wulin Gaiden" was banned after only a few episodes, it was well received by both inside and outside the industry, Chu Xuan Zhang Fan and others are already hot directors and screenwriters now.
Then it was time for reporters to ask questions.
"Hello Director Zhang, why did you decide to use newcomers in this drama?" A reporter from Film and Television Express asked.
"I think you should go to our Chu University screenwriter for this question, not only this movie, but all the roles in "Wulin Gaiden" are decided by him, and sometimes he is the director when I play the role." Zhang Fan said jokingly.
"What? Are the characters all set by the screenwriter? ”
"It's impossible, it's all set by one person, right?"
Zhang Fan's words made reporters talk for a while.
"Hello, I'm Li Ping, a reporter from Xinyu Daily, I want to ask Director Zhang, your investment this time is only 8 million yuan, does it mean that this small-scale film is not valued by the company?" A journalist asked.
"This problem does not exist, the lack of investment is just that some big-name stars have not been invited, but it does not mean that the company does not attach importance to this movie." Zhang Fan replied with a smile.
"A film is full of newcomers and the investment is very small, and I don't think it's a movie to look forward to." Reporter Li Ping's words were very straightforward, but they spoke the hearts of everyone present.
Compared with many blockbusters with an investment of hundreds of millions, this small investment movie with an investment of only 8 million is really unexpected.
Zhang Fan was about to speak but was stopped by Chu Xuan, Chu Xuan said with a smile: "This reporter friend, then you said that those movies with an investment of tens of millions or even good memories are worth your expectations?" ”
"Of course, I enjoyed the impact of the visual feast."
"You also said it was a visual feast, so can I understand that it's just that the special effects are well done, but the plot is not good?" Chu Xuan said with a smile.
"I didn't mean that, I mean ......" reporter Li Ping hurriedly went to explain, but was interrupted by Chu Xuan raising his hand.
"The investment of eight million is really small for a movie now, and it is not even as high as the salary of a big name." Chu Xuan took a sip of water and continued: "But here I dare to say this, I dare to use all newcomers because I am very confident in my script, even if there are no familiar stars to join, I can guarantee that this movie is absolutely wonderful, although there is no visual feast brought by the special effects of big-budget films, but this movie does not rely on special effects to attract people." ”
"And this journalist friend said that watching big-budget films is a visual feast, watching celebrities, that's their business, my script, the roles I choose, don't rely on those gorgeous appearances, but on strength!"
