Chapter 489: The Centaurs of the Three Factions

"Gu Xiaofan sacrificed a killer feature, superstar + superstar, the two major Chinese actors, Ge You and Jiang Wenqi, went into battle to reproduce the red classic model play~"

"Gu Xiaofan teamed up with Jiang Wen and Ge You, a real man's play, revolutionary heroes fighting bandits, and the plot adaptation is unpredictable. [No pop-up novel network]"

"With an investment of 130 million, the box office of "Outwitting Tiger Mountain" of 300 million can recover the cost, and the red film market has reacted coldly."

"Shanghai Film invested heavily in Feng Xiaogang and Jiang Wen's new films, is it a big leap forward, or is it over-inflated?"

After the celebration press conference of the Spring Festival Gala crew was broadcast on CCTV, the latest episode of "Movie Live" also produced a special feature of "Outwitting Tiger Mountain".

Gu Xiaofan's huge reputation brought by the Spring Festival Gala, coupled with the luxury lineup of Jiang Wen, Feng Xiaogang, and Ge You joining, the entertainment media across the country have made a large report on Gu Xiaofan's heart piece.

This momentum has completely overshadowed the momentum of China Film's blockbuster "Red Cliff" for a while.

And in the film industry, whether it is film companies or theater film critics, they were also taken aback.

What the? Gu Xiaofan wants to invest 1.5 billion yuan to shoot Feng Xiaogang's "Reminiscences of 1942"? He's got water in his head, right?

What the? Gu Xiaofan also invested in Jiang Wen's new movie, and the investment was also 1.5 billion? Finished...... This kid has a complete mental problem.

What's not over yet? Gu Xiaofan himself also invested 1.3 billion yuan to make the red movie "Outwitting Tiger Mountain", and also invited Jiang Wen, a drama bully, to play a supporting role?

This must be fake news, right?

Three blockbusters with an investment of more than 130 million, all of which are unable to be implanted in advertisements, is Gu Xiaofan going to collapse the Shanghai Film Studio?

When the news reached the company's headquarters in Los Angeles, Ed Wharton, president of Asia Pacific, laughed from ear to ear and laughed in a phone call to Paramount:

"Look, in order to compete with us in the summer file, they made a mess of themselves first, investing in three movies of more than 100 million, even if we don't care about him, this Gu Xiaofan will be finished."

"If God wants to destroy a man, he must first make him crazy, and it seems that we don't have to worry about this guy this time."

While the representatives of Hollywood were gloating, on the other side, in the office of China Film, Han Sanpin was gloomy and looked at Han Xiaoli, who was sitting opposite him and was furious, silent.

"What is this Gu Xiaofan doing? How could Chu Qiubai let him mess around so much! ”

Han Xiaoli scolded angrily: "Since Shangying has released fourteen more Hollywood movies every year, it should take up the burden and carry the position of domestic films with us~ Are they now inflated to the point of wanting to kill themselves?" ”

Saying that, Han Xiaoli complained to Han Sanpin: "Mr. Han, aren't you very optimistic about this Gu Xiaofan, but look at how he can do this foolish thing?" Can Feng Xiaogang's "1942" be filmed? Can Jiang Wen believe it? How could he get involved with these two men? ”

Han Sanpin's face was gloomy, and he was silent for a moment before he said slowly: "I think he made this decision in order to get Ge You and Jiang Wen to join the crew of "Outwitting Tiger Mountain", right......?"

Han Xiaoli was stunned: "You mean, he is going to finish his work?" ”

Han Sanpin was silent, this year's domestic summer file and Hollywood movie showdown is a strategic showdown, both sides want to win the advantage, originally Gu Xiaofan's "Zhiwei Tiger Mountain" The red movie has a worrying future, and now Feng Xiaogang and Jiang Wen are added, although it seems that the lineup is strong, but these two people are uncontrollable, and it is difficult to say whether the variables brought by them are good or bad......

Is Gu Xiaofan so confident?

Han Sanpin was a little puzzled, even if they invested 500 million in "Red Cliff", they didn't have the confidence to win, how could Gu Xiaofan dare to bet on the future of Shangying......

If "Reminiscences of 1942" and Jiang Wen's new film both suffer huge losses, I am afraid that Gu Xiaofan will not be able to make a movie of more than 100 million yuan in three years......

What happened to Chen Kaige after filming "Wuji" back then, but I still remember it vividly......

Huayi, China Film, and Shanghai Film have built an alliance of domestic films against Hollywood invasion, if one of the top three crosses the ...... Where will Chinese films go in the future?

Han Sanpin's heart was entangled with a lot of things, and he couldn't figure it out, whether Gu Xiaofan was right or wrong to do this, everything could only wait for the results of this summer file......

In the midst of all the discussions in the outside world, Gu Xiaofan also quickly stepped up and began to work on "Outwitting Tiger Mountain".

Feng Xiaogang and the special effects team have already selected the location in Daxinganling, and the set team has begun to produce the villages during the civil war and the bunkers of Weihu Mountain on the spot.

At the same time, the props team began to customize a number of military uniforms, prop costumes for bandit villagers, various guns and cannons, etc.

The cost of this set props alone is estimated to cost 9 million yuan.

In terms of actors, Feng Xiaogang also gave full play to his connections, and invited Huang Xiaoming to play Shao Jianbo at a friendly price, Huang Xiaoming just finished filming "Ip Man" to play a Japanese officer, and his bearded style and heroic appearance are very suitable for this labeled role.

On the Eight King Kongs, Jiang Wen hopes to use the actors he likes, and after Gu Xiaofan agreed, Jiang Wen personally called and set up Shao Bing, Liao Fan, Du Yiheng, Li Jing and other actors.

In this way, in terms of actors, Gu Xiaofan, Jiang Wen, and Feng Xiaogang all used their cronies, although the crew is nominally a whole, but there are three factions, and before the start of filming, no one is very convinced......

After the cast was neat, Gu Xiaofan, the director, also pulled Jiang Wen, Ge You, Liu Shishi, Lou Yixiao and other actors to prepare to shoot several sets of makeup photos.

On this day, in the studio of Shangying, the main actors of "Outwitting Tiger Mountain" gathered for the first time.

Ge You and Jiang Wen appeared at the scene, which also made He Tiejun very excited, rubbing his hands and shouting: "Hurry up, hurry up~ put on the props and costumes for the actors, what about the makeup artist?" Hurry up~! ”

The actors all sat in their respective positions and asked the makeup artist to put on makeup, Jiang Wen and Ge You sat in the front row according to their seniority, and although Gu Xiaofan was the director, his qualifications as an actor were still far from Jiang Wen and Ge You, and he was not even as good as Huang Xiaoming, who played Shao Jianbo, but sat with Liu Shishi and Lou Yixiao at the end.

Watching Liu Shishi put on makeup, she quietly stared at Jiang Wen over there and said: "Wait a minute, you have to show your hands, these actors are all famous figures in the circle, if you don't show some real effort, I'm afraid they won't convince you." ”

Saying that, Liu Shishi said with an unwilling face: "I just heard Lao Zhang with makeup say that Liao Fan and Shao Bing said when chatting, you are not as good as them when you play Yang Zirong, Gu Xiaoshu must give me 'Sister Shi Gang' to fight for breath!" ”
