Chapter 165: The Most Powerful Man of the Hour

Yanjing Huoshan broadcasted that there is a very famous place here.

Before the Huaxia Film and Television City was built, Huoshan Film and Television City can be said to be a must-have place for many movies and TV series shooting.

And Huoshan Film and Television City was built when Encyclopedia was at its most prosperous, although now with the decline of Encyclopedia Film Company, its cinemas have rarely released their own company's movies, but the TV series, Encyclopedia has not let go, and still works closely with Yanjing TV.

At the moment, the TV series being filmed here is still "Dragon Babu", because this drama has reached the final end, and it will soon be completed and meet all the audiences who love TV dramas in the New Year.

"Encyclopedia's biggest investment in the movie next year? Looking for me to be a director? ”

After Li Shengtian finished filming a day's scenes, he received a message from the TV station, which was enough to make him almost jump with excitement.

There has always been a tradition in the film and television industry, that is, the status of directors who make movies is several levels higher than that of TV drama directors!

So Li Shengtian, who has always been mainly focused on making TV series, and occasionally can't make a movie a year, heard that Encyclopedia is going to spend a lot of money on the new movie that will be directed by himself, Li Shengtian feels that his opportunity has come.

It's just that Li Shengtian never thought that the person who recommended him to shoot this new movie was Xiao Ran, who had never met before, but his status in the film industry soared like a rocket.

The reason why Xiao Ran was able to recommend Li Shengtian was naturally not because he had asked Xiaoxue to play Tianshan Tong's grandmother in "Dragon Babu", but because Xiao Ran really admired Li Shengtian's talent, and he was a director under Encyclopedia Film Company. Xiao Ran values this director the most.

The script written for Encyclopedia is also a movie that Xiao Ran likes very much, so Xiao Ran will be cautious and Huo Chengen chose Li Shengtian to serve as the director. I just don't want to be ruined by other directors!

"Is this the new script? It's also a movie with two episodes? ”

Because there are less than ten days left before the Spring Festival, and now "Dragon Babu" has come to the final battle. It's just that a series of episodes of Xiao Feng's suicide can be completed, and it will be broadcast after the Spring Festival.

And the person who got the script from Encyclopedia said that this new movie is going to start filming after the Spring Festival, and the movie will be released after the painting of "Journey to the West: Cinderella", so now I will bring the script to Li Shengtian first.

Li Shengtian took advantage of the gap in filming to carefully read the script, which is a new type of film that few film companies have dared to shoot in recent years.

That is the encyclopedia was already very keen on filming the rivers and lakes movie 20 years ago, when the encyclopedia was just established, because the founder Huo Dongjun himself was a person in the rivers and lakes. So it stands to reason that the main movie that Encyclopedia invests in is Jianghu movies!

And because Huo Dongjun is well aware of the affairs of the entire rivers and lakes, the movies made all the audience fascinated, and the box office of Encyclopedia's movies is getting higher and higher, and even created the first movie in the entire film industry to break 100 million yuan at the box office 20 years ago.

But the subsequent decline also lies in the rivers and lakes, because this kind of movie is a bestseller, so not only does Encyclopedia make it itself, but other movies also follow suit, and finally the audience is tired of watching it!

During that period, there were a lot of characters such as Brother Tyrannosaurus, Brother Violence, Sister Blizzard, Exploding River Dragon, Pheasant, and Chicken. The audience has long been aesthetically fatigued.

In the end, Encyclopedia saw that the attendance rate of its Jianghu movies was getting lower and lower, and it encountered Waterloo when it switched to other types of movies, so it began to reduce the scale and introduce investment in TV stations. Started to focus on TV dramas.

At this point, Jianghu movies have become a type of film where people shoot and who dies, and in the past ten years, there have been very few blockbuster Jianghu movies.

Xiao Ran summarized that there are two main reasons. One is that there are too many movies with too similar plots, and the audience is tired of watching them. The other is that at that time, all the movies that were focused on small and big were small, and basically no one dared to make big investments. So even if it is a scene of a big storm in the rivers and lakes, there are only dozens of actors, and there is no shocking feeling at all.

So now after more than ten years, in fact, many viewers have begun to miss the previous Jianghu movies, but because Encyclopedia is afraid of losing in this regard, they have never had the idea of making Jianghu movies again.

So after the Huo family's father and son received Xiao Ran's script, they were all relatively bitter, how could it be a Jianghu movie?

Huo Chengen felt that Xiao Ran's sincerity was insufficient, so he didn't start filming this movie, or it was okay to start filming with a small cost investment, but after Huo Dongjun finished reading the script, he clapped his hands!

"This movie should spend more money and strive to shoot the best, the second spring of Jianghu movies is coming!"

This is Huo Dongjun's original words, and it is also the reason why Li Shengtian was so excited after receiving the script.

This movie is actually a set of movies from Xiao Ran's previous life that are also episodes up/down, the first episode of this movie is "The Emperor of Shanghai", and the next episode is "The Emperor of Shanghai: Dominating the World".

The title of the film is extremely domineering, and it also tells the story of Huo Dongjun's grandfather, that is, the story of Du Yuesheng, the most powerful figure in Qinghong in the past 100 years, who was born in the market and made a living by selling pears, and then worshiped under the door of Huang Quanrong, the largest real power figure in Shanghai and the leader of the patrol room, so began his legendary life!

"Good script! It's so well written, although it's a joke about real people, and it's beautified by the author's personal preferences, but the story starts and ends, ups and downs, the image of a hero in troubled times jumps on the paper, and the images of various characters are distinct, although it is crazy and excessive, but it is just right! It's just in time for the craziest of times......"

After watching the last episode in the script, Du Yuesheng's family history, Li Shengtian couldn't help but praise.

This type of movie is generally called Jianghu movies in this world, and what Xiao Ran heard in his previous life was more biographical movies or heroic movies, but no matter what kind of category he used, he couldn't deny the classics of this movie.

In October 1927, Du Yuesheng was awarded the military rank of "Major General Senator". Later, Du Yuesheng accepted 30,000 protΓ©gΓ©s and more than 800,000 disciples, and his influence spread all over the country, on an equal footing with the leaders of the party and the state, and became an unprecedented figure from the gang in Chinese history! ”

When he saw the last paragraph at the end of the last episode, Li Shengtian knew what an amazing character the protagonist in this script was.

Growing up on the set since he was a child, he listens to more plays than books, and reads scripts more than books, so although Li Shengtian knows the name Du Yuesheng, most of them have heard some older generation of people on the set mention it.

Everyone said that Du Yuesheng was the best gang figure of the year, and he was the chief helmsman of Qinghong in China, but in fact, how legendary his life was, many people are not too clear.

Although this movie has a beautifying effect, many plots are still written very movingly, and Du Yuesheng's life from youth to death is completely told in two movies and more than 200 minutes of plot!

Li Shengtian, as a veteran who has read movie scripts for many years, is still so excited when he sees this script, you can imagine how excited the audience should be when they see these two movies if they are filmed well?

"I must make these two movies well, not only for the encyclopedia, but also for myself, and even more so that I can't live up to this good script!"

After watching the last episode, Li Shengtian's heart was already in turmoil, he secretly swore in his heart, and began to read the script of the next episode.

……

The night of the thirtieth day of the Chinese New Year's Eve is also the most important day of the year for the entire Chinese people!

Almost every family will gather around for a sumptuous Chinese New Year's Eve dinner as long as conditions permit, and after eating the Chinese New Year's Eve dinner, the normal process is to watch the Spring Festival Gala broadcast by Yanjing TV.

But with the downturn of the entire entertainment industry, there are more and more singers or actors who attract attention, so the Spring Festival Gala is becoming more and more uninteresting, unless there are extremely loyal elderly audiences, otherwise ordinary young people will not stay in front of the TV to watch this show that they find more and more boring!

But this year is an exception, many people know from media reports that the champion and runner-up of The Voice of China, that is, Xiao Ran and Tang Yun, a model couple in the entertainment industry, have been invited to participate in the Spring Festival Gala held by Yanjing TV this year.

In addition to writing a song sung by the two, Xiao Ran also promised that Yanjing TV would sing a new song of his own!

Because of this, this year's Spring Festival Gala has not yet started, and many viewers have already locked their TVs on Yanjing TV, and the ratings are amazing for a while!

At this time, in a residential house in Zhehai City, Hai Mimi, who was proud of her figure, was already standing in front of the TV as soon as she finished her Chinese New Year's Eve dinner.

She was originally a native of Zhehai, so as soon as the Chinese New Year came, she naturally had to separate from Tang Jie's sisters and stay in her own house for the New Year, and at this time, Hai Mimi's mother saw her abnormal behavior and asked: "Mimi, don't you usually watch the Spring Festival Gala?" Why don't you go to play after eating today? What do you do with the TV? ”

Hai Mimi responded: "Mom, you don't know that my idol is also participating in the Spring Festival Gala this year, I have to wait to see him." ”

"Your idol?" Because after going to college, the mother and daughter have less time to meet, so Hai Mimi's mother thought that she still liked those plastic surgery male stars in the stick country, so she said: "Then you may be disappointed, Yanjing TV has actually not invited the stars of the stick country much since a few years ago, although our own entertainment is lacking, but the stick country is the same, coming and going is those songs and dances, watching annoying!" ”

"Mom, I don't like the stars of the stick country now, my idol is a Chinese!" (To be continued......)
