Chapter 19: Deluxe Lineup
"Conquest" was completely popular, and when the finale was broadcast, that is, Sun Honglei wanted to blackmail the hostages out of the residential building, leaving himself behind for his brothers to run first, and shouted at the police: "The policeman who can catch me hasn't been born yet!" When this fierce and somewhat bleak line was written, the ratings of Beijing TV reached 29%!
This is a number exclusive to CCTV dramas and 'Huanzhu Gege', and no other domestic TV series can win such a great cause.
Sun Honglei became popular, because Liu Huaqiang's role made this small-eyed Northeast man fire through half the sky, and the unique charm continued to emanate, and even the crew of "Like Fog, Like Rain and Like Wind" had people call Sun Honglei 'Brother Huaqiang'.
It's a pity that the fire of "Conquest" is limited to this, no one asks who played 'Feng Biao', who has only appeared a few times, and no one looks at who the screenwriter and director are in the credits, let alone the painstaking makeup and unlucky lighting that flashed in a flash.
However, there is a man who has not yet found his life goal after seeing this TV series, and he locked on Feng Biao at a glance.
This man has tried many ways of life to this day, businessman, teacher, soldier, but he has never found his own way of life in any way of life, and it is not until he starts writing novels that he understands what he wants. Now, he is running around major publishing houses, and printing the manuscript in his hand into a paper book is an affirmation of such a long time of coding work, an affirmation of him. Helplessly, when all publishing houses heard that his profession was a businessman, the first thing they said was 'self-funded books'?
He was puzzled, why couldn't a businessman write something for a manuscript fee? He was furious, he had dreamed at night that a book was published, and then it was made into a TV series, and he became popular all over the country, and finally fell in the face of the editor with a stack of money.
His name is Liang Zhan, and he is still confused, but as soon as he saw Feng Biao appear on TV and saw that fierce face, he suddenly had the feeling of seeing the male protagonist in his book, I don't know why, this feeling is extremely strong!
……
"Xiao Shao, the first round of broadcast of "Conquest" is over, Xin Baoyuan has made a lot of money, but it's just ......"
In order to facilitate his work in the capital, Gao Qunshu simply rented a two-bedroom apartment, one of which belonged to Shao Yingying, which could be regarded as completely saving him from a rental house of more than ten square meters.
"Ah......" Shao Yingying hadn't closed his eyes for two days, he didn't expect that the preparation for the establishment of the team would be more tiring than when he was an assistant director: "Just what?" ”
In the two bedrooms with sparse furniture, Shao Yingying and Gao Qunshu sat on the brown broken sofa left by the landlord, Gao Qunshu leaned back on the sofa and his feet were on the coffee table, while Shao Yingying was sitting in a regular manner, and at the moment he was lighting a fire with a cigarette in his hand.
"It's just that our films don't want to be majestic in any awards, this type of film won't win awards."
Shao Yingying turned his head to look at Gao Qunshu shirtless, and smiled mysteriously: "Do you care?" ”
"Let's get down to business." Gao Qunshu is the same as Shao Yingying, but anyone can see the yearning in Gao Qunshu's eyes.
At the end of autumn, the weather has become dry and cold, but the enthusiasm of the duo has not diminished in the slightest, and they both seem to be full of expectations for the new film.
"Gao Dao, how are the funds?" After Shao Yingying asked this sentence, he found that he was more worried than Gao Qunshu, not only did he have nothing to do with the establishment of the group, but now he was worried about the problem of funds.
"Lu, huh? We can't even settle on the crew, you asked me to find investment, isn't this a trouble? Which company is willing to invest in a simple script? Maybe I, Gao Qunshu, can hard-pull a sum of money with "Conquest", but is this money enough for your new book? I'm afraid I can't handle the money from your cast alone! ”
Shao Yingying heard Gao Qunshu's unceremonious loss, grinning heartlessly, perhaps, his cast was a little excessive......
For "Blade 1937", Shao Yingying's expectations obviously exceed "Conquest", whether it is the dialogue, the plot or the turn of the whole story, he has great confidence, and even when this book was handed over to Gao Qunshu to read, Gao Qunshu doubted whether he wrote it, after all, the gap between the two books is too big and it is not the same style at all. In the end, Shao Yingying could only answer one sentence in the face of this even more inexplicable question: "Dude, I had an epiphany." ”
Relying on his understanding and expectations of "Blade 1937", Shao Yingying almost opened a set of ultra-luxury lineups in 1999 when discussing with Gao Qunshu, and it is precisely because of this lineup that the two of them often quarrel.
"Xiao Shao, who is the director?" Gao Qunshu squinted his eyes and glanced at Shao Yingying on the sofa.
Shao Yingying knew what Gao Qunshu was going to say, and responded flatteringly: "Of course you are old." ”
"Then why don't I think I'm talking about Blade 1937?"
"Hmm!" Shao Yingying's words came out in seventeen or eighteen tones, just to deny what Gao Qunshu said before: "How can it." ”
"Well, Zheng Shusen is the role of a thimble, I won't care about you, celebrities will definitely be able to boost popularity, Jiang Wen has been depressed recently because of the ban on "The Devil is Coming", if your script can impress him, maybe he will give up the big screen to enjoy it on the small screen, but you have to prepare a candidate. It's just that, how do I think the role of Zheng Shusen is more suitable for you in addition to Sun Honglei and Jiang Wen? ”
Gao Qunshu's feeling is very accurate, Zheng Shusen, who Shao Yingying changed, is very suitable for himself, they also get up from the bottom, they grow step by step, and they are also lucky to have the support of nobles......
Shao Yingying said with a hippie smile: "Why don't you let me play?" ”
Gao Qunshu was stunned for a moment, this hippie smiling face looked like Zheng Shusen who joked about tying Lao Sa's shoes in the script??!!
"Xiao Shao, in fact, you have everything for a starring role, it's just that one condition vetoed you, now the times are different, the starring role does not rely entirely on acting skills, but also on popularity, "Conquest" can't be ...... because of too little investment"
In the process of Gao Qunshu's explanation, Shao Yingying smiled to alleviate the embarrassment, and brought it with a very blunt joke: "Look, Xiao Xuan, right?" When I become the Emperor, don't blame me for not thanking you then. ”
Touch.
"Damn, dare!" Gao Qunshu got off the donkey and gave Shao Yingying a punch, and the two of them officially started their work.
"I try my best to invite Jiang Wen, but can the role of 'Pound' not be without Chen Daoming? It's too expensive, it's expensive, I'm so hungry! ”
This is the truth, Gao Qunshu was not a giant TV series director in the first place, he was used to being a little family, and he felt dazzled when he saw the price of a first-line star.
As soon as Shao Yingying talked about his work, he immediately didn't give an inch: "Director Gao, after all, this play is directed by you, if you can find an actor who is quite famous and can interpret that kind of elegant temperament, I have no problem at all, as far as I know, there is another person who has the temperament of 'Pound', and his acting skills are not much, he is the emperor and the actor in the past eight years, this person is called Kou Shiyi, a native of Baodao, why don't you inquire about his price?" He is definitely not as expensive as Chen Daoming, the key is that he has Chen Daoming's popularity in the mainland? With Chen Daoming and Jiang Wen, these two people can pull back half of their investment in you by virtue of their popularity, what do you think? ”
Kou Shiyi is the actor of 'Pound' in Shao Yingying's computer, Shao Yingying admires this old actor very much, his every move will be a Shanghai Tang boss who has experienced strong winds and waves, but the key problem is that there is no Sun Honglei in this play, it is difficult to say whether Kou Shiyi can have sparks with Jiang Wen, a good script is not written, it is performed by a group of tacit actors, this is the play. The main reason is that Shao Yingying's heart is big, he is envious and jealous when he sees Sun Honglei become famous overnight, with the two leading actors Jiang Wen and Chen Daoming, the 'District 14' he plays in the play will definitely impress the audience in the starlight, this is for sure.
Gao Qunshu found that Shao Yingying's strategy had changed, he was no longer arguing with himself, and began to detour, the enemy who will use wisdom is very hateful, and the companion who will use wisdom to persuade you is also a little unbearable, but this guy can still say that your heart is up.
"No room for negotiation at all? In this way, Wei Zi has no problem playing Yu Zhonghe and Ni Dahong playing Uncle Ge, and I even agree to use Gu Changwei, the most expensive camera in the circle, can I discuss it on Chen Daoming's 'Pound'? ”
Shao Yingying replied naturally: "Gao Dao, do you like football?" Zidane is in Juventus, Raul is in Real Madrid, if Real Madrid buys Zidane, then the combination of Raul and Zidane will definitely not be one plus one equals two, I don't need to talk about this truth, right? ”
"Okay, you go to invest first, if the money is really not enough, let's choose 'Kou Shiyi' and give up Chen Daoming, this is always okay, right?"
Gao Qunshu looked at Shao Yingying's gaze, and he suddenly found a problem, this young guy seemed to know frightening things about this circle......
