Chapter 128: A New Drama Begins

After Tong Dawei's singing performance, the Best Feature Film Award was about to be announced, and when the presenter said the name of "The Ballad of Yunshui", director Yin Li and actor Chen Kun and others boiled, and the Stone Gang could only applaud gracefully.

The last award, the Best Director Award, including Ning Hao, Yin Li, Feng Xiaogang and several other candidates all opened their eyes wide, and the award presenters took a look, and then said with a smile, "The winner of the Best Director Award is ...... Ning Hao, "Crazy Stone"! Huang Bo, Guo Tao and others in the audience applauded with their lives, and pushed Ning Hao to accept the award, and the other audiences also gave sincere applause, Ning Hao is very young, only in his thirties, such a young director's work can be recognized by the market and film critics, which is very rare, people are optimistic about this director and his group of actors, He Mu on the side slapped his palms red, he expects these people to create more laughter for the audience.

This is the second time He Mu has participated in the film awards ceremony after the last Asian Film Awards, the last time he only participated as an audience, this time as a guest of honor, he hopes that he can participate as an award nominee as soon as possible, this is the glory of being an actor.

After the big film festival, in addition to the entertainment media on the next day, in addition to reporting on the award-winning actors and films, He Mu and Xu Zheng also occupied a lot of space with their two bald heads, and He Mu's appearance in "Chang'an Chaos" was also widely reported, and his hairstyle was announced to the world.

Soon after, the second male candidate was also announced by Tiger Wolf Film and Television, and Xie Shu became the second actor to confirm his participation in "Chang'an Chaos", and the former child star seemed to have ushered in the second spring of his career, and his attention surged.

Xiao Fang after meeting Li Qin'er. quickly made a decision for her to play the role of the female number one in "Chang'an Chaos", but it was not announced to the public, only that a newcomer would be used. As for what kind of newcomer, let the media guess. At the same time, some of the other main actors are also in place, the behind-the-scenes team has been formed, the filming location has also been determined, and it is expected to start shooting in early May.

He Mu asked Xiao Fang, how much is the approximate investment in this drama?

"Martial arts dramas, how can you get 30 million." Xiao said arrogantly. The previous tiger wolf dramas were only more than 10 million yuan of investment, but this time the investment has doubled all of a sudden, which can be described as a large amount.

In fact, 30 million is not too big in martial arts dramas. Zhang Jizhong's several Jin Yong martial arts dramas are basically with an investment scale of more than 40 million, such as "The Legend of the Condor Heroes", the investment amount is said to be more than 60 million, and the investment in "The Legend of Chang'an Chaos" is much worse than that of "The Legend of the Condor Heroes", but it is limited to the pattern of the script itself. There are no big names. So 30 million is already a lot of money.

"This is too nouveau riche temperament!" He Mu exclaimed.

"Do you know what price the company sold for "Soldier Assault" and "Flight Attendant"?" Xiao Fang smiled mysteriously.

He Mu leaned over, "How much?" He knew that after "Soldier" became popular on the Internet, many satellite TV stations began to target this popular drama.

""Flight Attendant" was sold to Hu Nan Satellite TV, 500,000 per episode, and "Soldier Assault" was sold to Bei. Beijing Satellite TV, 450,000 per episode. ”

He Mu counted with his fingers, multiplied by the number of episodes in each episode, and the first round of star broadcasts of these two dramas sold almost 30 million! This is enough to support the entire filming of "Chang'an Chaos". And this is only the first round, there will be two and three rounds of airing in the future. If the first round of broadcasts has a good response, the sale of the next TV series will generate huge economic benefits, which is easier than picking up for nothing, with the popularity of the two dramas, it seems that it is not a problem to earn tens of millions in the later stage.

No wonder it is also a cultural industry, so many people are engaged in TV dramas, but few people are engaged in publishing, Li Wenhua has developed Tiandi Xuanhuang is good, but last year's profit was only one or two million, and this year there are two more printing houses, I am afraid it is difficult to have a net profit of tens of millions.

Looking at Xiao Fang's smug face, He Mu flattered, "Brother Fang, since the company is so rich now, then my salary, you can see if it is ......."

——————

The filming of "Red Cliff" fell into a stalemate, a huge crew temporarily stopped work because there was no male lead, and the losses were huge, and He Mu's role was even more unknown when Lu Dao would be scheduled, but fortunately, "Chang'an Chaos" started in May, He Mu finally ended a long free period, and he was going to be busy again.

The filming location of "Chang'an Chaos" is mainly concentrated in three places, one is Hengdian Cinema, which mainly provides the main scenes of Shaolin Temple and most of the martial arts scenes, and the other is the West. An Studios, part of the filming of Chang'an City will be completed there, and the most important is the Songshan Shaolin Temple, where a small part of the temple filming will be concentrated, but it is still dominated by the fake Shaolin Temple in Hengdian.

On May 5th, the crew of "Chang'an Chaos" held a grand opening ceremony in Hengdian Cinema, and the media from all sides poured in, although it was not as grand as the start of "The King of Kung Fu" in Hengdian two days ago, and even many actors who were filming stopped work and ran over to watch Chenglong Li Lianjie, but it is also the most watched TV series that has been launched in Hengdian recently.

The producer of this play, Xiao Fang, director Ju Jueliang, assistant director Tao Quduo, original author and screenwriter Han Han, chief screenwriter Ning Caishen, co-screenwriter Li Wenhua and cultural director Shi Yongxin all attended the opening ceremony.

Shi Dong originally wanted to hold the opening ceremony in Shaolin Temple, but Xiao Fang was worried that Shaolin Temple would dominate and weaken the core theme of "Chang'an Chaos", so he insisted on holding it in Hengdian. As for Li Wenhua, a special screenwriter, it is because there is part of his hard work in the script.

At the beginning, Han Han and Ning Caishen had different opinions because of the finale, and the two did not give in to each other and insisted on their own opinions. Xiao Fang, who was the most important in peace, asked Li Wenhua to mediate, he was an upstart in the literary circle, and he knew both Han Ning, and later persuaded and persuaded, and the two discussed, simply none of them should write this ending, and let Li Wenhua write the finale. Li Wenhua was really polite, let him write it, and it took about two days to write the last episode, which not only met Han Han's requirements for depth, but also satisfied Ning Caishen's desire for reunion, the two applauded at the same time, and even the first 30 episodes also made Li Wenhua partially modified.

This is the first time Li Wenhua has written a script, although it is only an episode, and he has to imitate Ning Caishen's writing style to maintain the unity of the style of the whole play, but it has opened another cultural path for him.

In addition to the behind-the-scenes team, the three leading actors He Mu, Xie Shu, and Li Qin'er also made their first collective appearance, and the heroine finally unveiled the mystery.

There are too many topics at the start-up ceremony this time, Han Han, who attended the start-up ceremony of the TV series as a screenwriter for the first time, He Mu's second TV series as the male lead, Li Qin'er who played the female number one for the first time, Ning Caishen's another martial arts drama after "Wulin Gaiden", the second main investment drama of Tiger Wolf Film and Television, Xie Shu's second time after his comeback, starred in the Shaolin theme and also played the emperor for the second time...... The reporters asked questions one after another like chicken blood, the topic of "The King of Kung Fu" faded down, and tomorrow it will definitely be the slaughter version of "Chang'an Chaos".

A reporter asked how the TV series adaptation of "Chang'an Chaos" was promoted.

Han Han used characteristic Korean-style humor to race him and He Mu on the highway home for the New Year, and then burst the tire, ate a lion's head in Cangzhou, and determined the experience of adapting "Chang'an Chaos", the reporters' eyes lit up, such a plot is too twists and turns, if "Chang'an Chaos" is made into a classic, this experience can simply be passed on as a good story.

Although Li Wenhua tried to keep a low profile as much as possible, he was still discovered by the media, and a reporter asked him about his previous works and what capital he had to serve as the co-screenwriter of "Chang'an Chaos".

Xiao Fang solemnly introduced, "This is Li Wenhua Li of Tiandi Xuanhuang Culture Media, who has discovered bestsellers such as "Those Things in the Ming Dynasty" and "Step by Step", he is He Mu's buddy and my good friend, and he has a part of his contribution to the adaptation of "Chang'an Chaos", in which the finale of this play was written by him himself. ”

"Those Things in the Ming Dynasty" is indeed very popular, but Xiao Fang overestimated the reading volume of these entertainment notes, and they read a lot of gossip magazines, but "Those Things in the Ming Dynasty" is a history book, and they have rarely heard of this popular book, of course, they don't know the company Xuanhuang of the Dao World, let alone Li Wenhua, but I heard that the ending part of this drama was not from the hands of Ning Caishen and Han Han, which surprised them a little, they already remembered this fat man, if the TV series comes out in the future, If the finale is not good-looking, you can smear him as much as you like.

There is only one person who has asked Li Wenhua a question, it is Guo Siyuan of "Xingshi Luli Weekly", his question is whether the new book "Notes on Tomb Robbery" produced by Tiandi Xuanhuang has the possibility of plagiarizing the previously popular "Ghost Blowing the Lamp", Li Wenhua made a reasonable explanation for the origin and development of tomb robbery novels: this is just a novel of the same type, there are imitations and references, but there is no plagiarism.

In addition, no one pays attention to Li Wenhua anymore, which also makes Li Fatzi, who attended this scene for the first time, breathe a sigh of relief. The reporters were not very interested in him, and they focused their main energy on the lucky Li Qin'er, what made her the female number one in this high-profile TV series.

This question is up to He Mu to answer.

"It was a beautiful encounter, I came out of the play, at that time the assistant director in charge of casting, Tao Quduo, was worried about the heroine, and then I happened to see this little girl at the door, I thought she should be happy, so I left her the phone number of Director Tao, I didn't expect to be regarded as a bad person by her, I said bitterly for a long time before persuading her to accept the phone." He Mu smiled.

Li Qin'er was a little embarrassed, after returning to school, she reported the situation to the teacher as soon as possible, the teacher was well-informed, knew He Mu, the actor, and called an acquaintance in the play to inquire about the situation, the crew of "Chang'an Chaos" is indeed recruiting, and the director in charge is indeed surnamed Tao, Li Qin'er participated in the interview accompanied by the teacher, and passed the primary election, and has a pass to see Xiao Fang and the director in Beijing.

Unfortunately, the crew of the new version of "Dream of Red Mansions" went to their school to pick people the next day, and the assistant director took a fancy to her at a glance, and at that time, she was asked to play Xiao Xue Baochai, which made it difficult for her, after all, she met He Mu first. Later, under the advice of teachers and parents, she chose "Dream of Red Mansions" and signed a contract with Rongxinda Company.

thought that she would never have a chance with "Chang'an Chaos" again, but she didn't expect the company to arrange for her to audition for the heroine of "Chang'an Chaos" in the capital, and she actually got the role of the female number one, and it was the strange brother who played the male number one, the current little bald head......
