Chapter 281 - Scene 281 The goal is 200 million

Qin Fen - Ge You.

Li Xiangshan - Zhang Guorong

Liang Xiaoxiao - Sun Li

Mr. Fan - Fan Wei

Cameo blind date women, Shu Qi, Ha Zhiyuan, Sun Honglei, Su Gao, Tang Wei, Hu Ke, Luo Haiqiong......

Li Xiaole couldn't help but giggle when he looked at the cast, and suddenly felt like he was dreaming, this lineup was a huge change compared to the previous small fights, even if it was stronger than Feng Xiaogang's original version.

Whether he can shoot this movie well, Li Xiaole is actually not sure, although it is also a comedy, but this is completely different from the previous "Crazy Stone" and "Color is Empty", which used physical action comedy, "If You Are Honest, Do Not Disturb" is a language comedy, which completely tests the hard level of the director and actors.

This type is beyond his current understanding, if it were him in the past, he might have to make a lot of preparations before he dared to touch this kind of subject, but now it was Zhang Guorong who suddenly smashed into his hands, and fate pushed him to this point so wonderfully.

The strategy of "everything is ready to go" has changed, and now what we need to do is to give it a go! The film and television industry is the most brutal battlefield, and people won't remember how many times you've won before, and if you lose, you'll quickly drown in that battlefield and regain your strength.

The failure of a major production can be devastating to a director's career.

Now, the black pearl he piloted was now loaded with excellent sailors like never before, driving towards new treasures, but the bigger the treasure, the greater the risk. He is facing a huge storm, and if he is not careful, the Black Pearl will be swallowed by this merciless sea, so that everything accumulated before will disappear, think about the experience of Wu Yushen, who was once in Hollywood, quitting Hollywood because of the failure of a "Wind Whisperer......

But weishenme is obviously in such a bottomless situation, but what makes him so excited? Li Xiaole felt his heart beating violently, and his whole body seemed to have an endless liliang, and he couldn't figure it out, he seemed to like this feeling of constantly surpassing himself and challenging himself, only by constantly challenging the process is a wonderful experience~~!!

Come on "Do Not Disturb", the first big-budget film in his life, and he can't wait to listen to the wonderful "rustling" of the camera.

A week later.

Click, click, in the studio full of lighting equipment, in the green photography backboard, Li Xiaole in a black suit sat on a round bench, next to Zhang Guorong, who was also in a suit and leather shoes, Ge You, and Sun Li, who was dressed in a flight attendant uniform, stood between them with a pure and boundless appearance, and the four of them were all smiling brightly, looking at the direction of the camera lens.

"Yes, keep this smile, it's in very good condition~" Hu Andi, the photographer of "Universal Screen" over there, kept pressing the shutter, clicking and patting, while reminding:

"Director Li, you are the youngest, you have to be a little more excited, don't be too rigid to move, by the way, you try to make a gesture for framing photography, that is, the index finger and thumb of both hands are put together into a frame, right~ close your left eye ~"

Li Xiaole posed as he said, closed his left eye, and looked at the camera with his right eye through the hand frame, the flash flashed continuously, and there was a continuous clicking sound, and he couldn't help muttering in his heart: "Isn't this posture too pretending?" Not relaxed at all, this photo must be very painful to take, thinking of this, I couldn't help but put down my hand and proposed:

"Let's shoot something light-hearted and humorous, I'm not excited by myself."

The four of them are now taking cover photos for "Universal Screen" magazine's "Blind Date Story of Li Crazy and Two Actors", which is the cover of the next issue of "Universal Screen", which is for the promotion of the launch of "If You Are Honest, Do Not Disturb".

"Okay, but it's humorous, it's up to Uncle Ge to stand in the middle~" Hu Andi thought for a while, nodded, and made a rotating movement with one hand: "Uncle Ge stands in the middle, Zhang Guorong, Director Li, Sun Li, you are all lively and do some funny movements, design a shape, or Zhang Guorong, you put your hand around Sun Li's waist and do a dance move." ”

"No problem~" Several people laughed, Zhang Guorong and Sun Li on the left were doing dance moves, Sun Li looked at the camera in horror and stretched her hands straight, while Zhang Guorong was a gentleman, but he made a look of wanting to fall, Li Xiaole on the right put on a frowning and thinking strange look, and Ge You in the center stood upright with his hands crossed on his chest, with a shy and evil smile, and the light was extremely shiny.

"It's not good, you're still too serious, Director Li, you have to be more vivid." Juandi suddenly laughed dumbly, put down the camera in his hand, shook his head and smiled:

"You have to be more energetic, just feel that you are the most successful young person in this Shijie Shanghai Airlines, so that you can highlight your image characteristics."

Li Xiaole was extremely speechless in his heart, he was obviously a gentleman and a yuppie, so he had to be arrogant...... The magazine covers of this era are really vulgar, and I have no choice but to open my hands in the posture of Super Marie, jump on the spot, and helplessly: "Is this okay?" It should be the most popular "jumping photo" in the next year, and it is said to be very dynamic.

"This action is good~It's too creative~" Hu Andi's eyes lit up, he squatted on the ground and raised his camera, aiming at them with the most haode Jiadu: "The others stay still, Director Li, you can jump like you just now~"

The moment Li Xiaole jumped into the air with both hands, there was a click, and the film froze this picture and became the cover of the next issue of "Universal Screen".

For movie fans, their attention to this issue of "Universal Screen" is not focused on that interesting cover, they are more concerned about the content inside.

Turning the 5th page, the whole page on the left is a pictorial of Li Xiaole holding a chair and frowning and thinking, there are a lot of interviews in it, but everyone is most concerned about gossip, and their eyes are jumping to find the topics they are most interested in.

"May I ask Director Li, how much is the investment in this "If You Are Honest, Do Not Disturb", can you reveal how much Ge You and Zhang Guorong's salaries are."

Li replied frantically: "Since I have to go to different places to shoot, I have to go to South Korea as far away, with an initial investment of 60 million yuan, and the follow-up publicity cost should be around 30 million, as for Ge You and Zhang Guorong's salary, I can't disclose, I can only say that they all lowered their salaries to take over this drama, and most of the investment costs will be used for the production of the film itself." "According to the practice in the circle, after telling the media that the production fee will be increased by one-third.

Turning another page, it is a classic question: "60 million yuan investment?" Is this an overinvestment in a modern drama? You must know that in recent years, except for "Hero", there are very few domestic films that can pass the box office of 50 million, and "If You Are the Truth, Do Not Disturb" must have a box office of at least 100 million in order to return to the cost, may I ask Director Li, what do you predict the box office performance of this movie? ”

Li Xiaole directly reported a number: "200 million." ”

This makes everyone who sees this number feel funny, this is simply not bragging, but the cow is flying in the sky, 200 million? A fashion drama, does it also want to enter the ranks of the 100 million yuan club?

Even Zhang Guorong and Ge You said again and again in the interview that they hope that the movie can be best without losing money, and they dare not ask for anything else.

After seeing this report, many media began to sneer at Li Crazy's arrogance, and everyone was not optimistic about the so-called "tragicomedy" theme, Ge You and Zhang Guorong were too incompatible in a fashion drama, and "China Film News" published a review article saying:

Perhaps Li Xiaole is currently the most potential director in the mainland, but it is still unknown whether he can fully play the performance of the two actors, after all, he has never worked with such a big-name actor.

Film critics on the Internet also commented: "Li Crazy is indeed a little crazy this time, and shouted out the declaration of a box office of more than 200 million early, although it is to boost morale, but in the eyes of most people, this is just putting forward a high standard that can never be realistic, "Hero" is just an accidental phenomenon, and the box office of over 100 million should be the limit of this aiqing theme." ”

However, Li Crazy fans don't see it that way, they seem to be more looking forward to Li Crazy to create more movie miracles, "Crazy Stone" and "Soldier Assault" just used a group of newcomers to change the development pattern of mainland film and television, and now Li Crazy has two actors, which makes people have no reason not to expect what kind of works he can make.

Fan Binbing, a beautiful woman who can't make a guest appearance in "Do Not Disturb" because of the schedule, spoke on the blog:

"The most haode movie I watched this year is "Crazy Stone", the most haode TV series I have watched is "Soldier Assault", and I may be able to see "If You Are Honest, Do Not Disturb" at the end of the year, I believe that director Feng Xiaogang and director Li Xiaole will work together to bring the mainland film market to a peak again~"

To everyone's surprise, Li Xiaole has also received the support of many big directors in the circle, Jiang Wen, who is filming in Yunnan, also accepted an interview with a TV station, in which he talked about his new movie, and by the way, he also talked about his views on the movie "If You Are Honest, Do Not Disturb":

"I think director Li Xiaole is a very wonderful person, and Ge You is one of the best actors in China, so two wonderful people together, they will definitely make a very wonderful movie, don't worry about whether it looks good or not, we should discuss it, what level is good-looking, of course, it won't be better than mine, and it won't be far worse."

And Feng Xiaogang's words were even better, he said in a hoarse voice: "If there are only two directors in China who can use Ge You to make comedies, then Li Xiaole must be one of them......"

In short, insiders are no less enthusiastic about this movie than ordinary fans, and everyone is looking forward to "If You Are Honest, Do Not Disturb".
