Chapter Ninety-Eight: Sympathy Across the Ages
In the editorial office of a variety show, several reporters ran out wildly, which is normal for them, but if they have any clues, they have to go to the scene......
"Why are you going? Isn't the news that Wang Jinghua jumped ship to Orange Sky to be one of the three bosses cold? Shao Yingying's entry into Huayi also broke out, what's the matter? ”
"You don't know? So what are you still mixing in this circle? Today's signing ceremony of Huayi, I heard that the momentum is huge! ”
"Signing? More than 50 artists in Huayi have been pulled out, and they are still signed? Newcomers? ”
"If Wang Baoqiang, Zhang Yi, and Zhang Xinyi are still newcomers, maybe ......"
Hua Yi signed someone again, although the scale of this signing is smaller than that of being poached by Wang Jinghua, but the shock in the circle is still shown, at least Hua Yi has proved that they have not given up the position of the leader in the circle, as for who the final position belongs to, it is still unknown.
According to our news report, Huayi Company held a grand signing ceremony today, and Wang Baoqiang, who became popular because of the "Soldier Assault" assault, announced that he had signed a five-year contract with Huayi; Chen Sicheng, who became popular for "Soldier Assault" and "Beijing Love Story", announced that he had signed a five-year contract; There are also more than a dozen artists such as Wu Rubo, Zhang Xinyi, Tong Yali, Sun Li, Wen Zhang, Tong Dawei, Zhang Guoqiang, Duan Yihong, etc. Huayi is proving with his actions that they will never lose, which is what Shao Yingying said at the press conference on joining Huayi. ”
Unexpected things are still alive, Huayi not only signed a group of new artists who began to emerge in the circle. has never given up on the pursuit of the older generation of artists!
According to this station, after Huayi signed more than a dozen newcomers last week, a signing ceremony was held again this week. The older generation of artists with Guo Baochang have announced that they have joined Huayi, and old artists such as Liu Peiqi, Siqin Gaowa, and Lei Kesheng are willing to be green leaves for newcomers in Huayi's TV series. ”
When the two heavy news appeared in the major media, Hua Yi's image was reversed, and a patient who was on the verge of death suddenly came to life, but this vitality made it unclear whether it was a return to the light or a real serious illness.
"Huayi Company, which just held the artist signing ceremony two weeks ago, held another signing ceremony. This time, it is no longer the artist who signed the contract with Huayi, but the director, screenwriter, cameraman and other important personnel in the crew, and the director is represented by Ning Hao and Kang Honglei; The screenwriter is joined by Ning Caishen, who wrote "Health Express" and "Urban Men and Women", and Yoyo, who became famous by writing the online novel "Wang Gui and Anna" on the Internet; The camera was filmed by Niu Wa and Hou Yong following Shao Yingying's footsteps into Huayi! ”
Yo-yo? Ning Caishen?
The media that saw the news were wondering who these two people really were. There are not many people who have even heard of Ning Hao, I am afraid that in this signing ceremony, the only ones who make people feel familiar are Niu Wa and Hou Yong.
Shao Yingying doesn't care about the reaction of the media and the general public. What he has to do now is to create a wave of news about Huayi. Let everyone know that Huayi is not only not dead, but also has many plans to continue.
At the press conference hosted by Shao Yingying, Wang Zhongjun and Wang Zhonglei, Shao Yingying announced that Huayi will launch a series of TV series in the small screen market in O5-O6, including "My Leader, My Group" and "Nude-Marriage Era", which have been filmed; also includes "Wulin Gaiden", which has just been established, written by Ning Caishen and directed by Ning Hao; and not yet grouped. "Wang Gui and Anna", directed by Shao Yingying himself and written by Yoyo; There is even "Embroidered Spring Knife" directed by Wei Jiahui and starring Liang Jiahui and Shao Yingying. ”
These series of plans and two TV series and a movie rolled out at the same time seem to have become a gamble for Huayi. If starting from "My Leader, My Group", until the broadcast of "Wang Gui and Anna" will eventually form a trend of 'Huayi drama' on the screen, and even the box office of "Embroidered Spring Knife" will be a big hit, then Huayi will get rid of the decline in a very short period of time and pass from the building to the plateau in one fell swoop. It's just that this qiē must be under the premise that it must not fail, if Huayi's four consecutive TV series and one movie do not come up with eye-catching results, then what awaits Huayi can only fall into the abyss! ”
The media reflects Huayi's desperate bet, because Orange Sky Entertainment has also announced a series of plans, and Wang Jinghua's addition has made Orange Sky Entertainment not only ambitious but more courageous after "Swing Girl" and "Laughing Karma" did not achieve much benefit last year. At this moment, everyone can see that Shao Yingying cannot let out the TV drama market, what people didn't expect is that Shao Yingying not only did not give up the TV drama market, but even the film market actively responded, however, it seems that he did not spend blood, but only took out one that I can't see anything now, I only know that it is about the Ming Dynasty Jinyiwei's "Embroidered Spring Knife".
In fact, this is Shao Yingying's real strategy for Orange Sky, because Orange Sky Entertainment can't beat Shao Yingying in the TV drama market, but in the film market, Orange Sky in history has "Love Call Transfer", "Nightclub", "Fengyun 2", "Cast a Name", "Red Cliff" and other movies launched. Shao Yingying will not bump into Orange Sky in the film market, but he can't be timid, because he has Huayi's last hope.
"Ning Hao, do you remember the promise I made to you? I will definitely invest in "Crazy Gems", but your task now is to shoot "Wulin Gaiden" for me, not only to shoot it, but you also have to shoot it for me! If you shoot it well, don't say that "Crazy Gems" only costs 6 million, even 10 million, I will give it, if you don't shoot it well, then the investment in "Crazy Gems" will shrink according to the ratings! Shao Yingying continued when he held a meeting of all the staff in the Huayi conference room: "I have already selected the actors of "Wulin Gaiden" for you, these people are not very famous now, but you can find the cameo roles in "Wulin Gaiden" in our company, as long as you decide that the artist is going to make a cameo in "Wulin Gaiden", I will take care of other things for you!" I will give you 20 million for the total investment of this play, Ning Hao. You can save some flowers. ”
Shao Yingying finally has a trace of his own momentum, and his previous eight-sided and exquisite personality has begun to become angular, and his speech at the meeting also faintly brings out a little posture that no one can refuse.
"I have already handed over the book of "Life and Death" to Kang Honglei and Lan Xiaolong. The crew of "My Captain, My Regiment" immediately entered the process of script rectification and group building, the main roles are still selected in the original team, and I give a total investment of 350,000 yuan, my requirements are, keep improving, don't give explosives and gunpowder to my province in the war scenes, and the makeup and costumes are as close to history as possible. If you dare me to see that there are male actors in "Life and Death" who are acting for me with a literary and science volume, then don't expect a better investment in the next play. ”
"Yo-yo, if you have time. I hope that when the crew of "Embroidered Spring Knife" is established, you can give you and me to join the crew together, so that it is convenient for us to discuss the script revision of "Wang Gui and Anna", Singapore is too far away. We can only communicate with each other by phone and email. There are some things that I am afraid I can't express clearly. ”
After arranging this in the conference room, Shao Yingying said: "Now those who have work will prepare immediately, Zhang Wan, your actor department will sign Sha Yi, Yao Chen, and Yan Ni in "Wulin Gaiden" for me, it must be fast, and the contract period should be long." ”
Everyone who had work withdrew from the conference room, and when only Wei Jiahui, Wang Zhongjun and Wang Zhonglei were left in the conference room, Wang Zhongjun spoke: "Xiao Shao." Wouldn't it be a bit risky to smash 550,000 into the TV drama market at once? After all, our "Naked Marriage Era" and "My Leader, My Group" have not had any effect yet......"
"Mr. Wang. "The Age of Naked Marriage" and "My Leader, My Group" were both invested and filmed by "Shao Yingying Studio" when I did not become the chairman of Huayi, and the reason why we hung the title of "Huayi" is to cause a continuous sensational effect in the TV drama market, so Huayi does not have any risk. Hua Yi's real actions are "Wulin Gaiden" and "Life and Death Line" and "Wang Gui and Anna" that are being rectified, 550,000 is indeed a lot of money, but we have to take this risk, there was too much negative news about Huayi before, and only a long-term victory in the small screen market can cover up this qiē. At that moment, Shao Yingying said respectfully: "Mr. Wang, please believe me." ”
Wang Zhongjun didn't speak, and sighed softly.
"Okay, now let's discuss "Embroidered Spring Knife", I play Shen Lian, Liang Jiahui plays Lu Jianxing, Wei Zhongxian is played by Ren Dahua, Zhao Jingzhong is played by Li Zixiong, and Ding Xiu is played by Wu Zhenyu, so the roles on our script are Jin Yichuan and Zhou Miaotong (the woman Shen Lian loves deeply), these two roles are the top priority, the woman who plays Zhou Miaotong can't have the smell of wind and dust, but also has to reflect a kind of dignified girl, the actor who plays Jin Yichuan must be young enough, what do you have any good opinions?"
Shao Yingying was too busy, the affairs of the website, the company, and the affairs of the collaborators made him busy every day, and he didn't have time to focus on the creation of the crew, so he took advantage of the collective meeting to bring up this matter again.
"Let it be." Wang Zhongjun, as an old man in the circle, said: "I think Xu Qing is very in line with the temperament that Zhou Miaotong needs, dignified enough and without the smell of wind and dust." ”
This is a good idea, Shao Yingying's "Embroidered Spring Knife" movie Xu Qing can no longer participate, age is a problem, and another problem is that there is really no guarantee of how much box office she can pull on the big screen. Now in 2oo5, a single qiē is not a problem, and Xu Qing, who is very well maintained, doesn't even need to pretend to be tender in the movie: "Listen to Mr. Wang, and make a promise." ”
"I think Wen Zhang can play Jin Yichuan."
This is Wei Jiahui's suggestion, firstly, he thinks Wen Zhang is young enough, secondly, Wen Zhang is a person from the company, and he just finished filming "The Age of Naked Marriage" There are no problems on the schedule, and finally, with Wen Zhang's figure, it is just right to take two short knives in the movie.
"Mr. Wang, can I trouble you in the end?" Shao Yingying said with a smile.
Wang Zhongjun nodded in response: "Say." ”
"Please be the producer of "Embroidered Spring Knife", last time "Accident" Brother Hui and I borrowed the trend of the Galaxy to get a good box office, this time, "Embroidered Spring Knife" is a little bottomless without you."
Hearing this, Wang Zhongjun stared at Shao Yingying's eyes and looked at them for a long time: "How much does our company plan to invest in "Embroidered Spring Knife"? ”
"Forty-five million." Shao Yingying replied calmly.
When he heard this number, Wang Zhongjun knew that he had to go, because this is a film that loses money if the box office does not break 100 million!
If the salaries of superstars such as 'Liang Jiahui, Ren Dahua, Wu Zhenyu, and Shao Yingying' are gouged out, then the investment of 45 million will become a small system, Wang Zhongjun really can't go with him, and no one has the ability to control the crew's funds. Otherwise, this movie will never be filmed for 450,000 yuan, and only by using every penny on the blade can this drama be completed smoothly!
"I'll go." Wang Zhongjun must go, he knows that "Embroidered Spring Knife" must not continue to invest more, and if you invest a penny more, you will have more pressure, once there is a loss, Hua Yi's atmosphere that has just risen a little bit will fall to the bottom again, and this kind of thing must not happen.
"Well, Boss Shao, Boss Wang......" Wei Jiahui said again at this time: "Let's not build a group in such a hurry, I want to talk about the script." ”
When Shao Yingying heard this question, he ended the conversation with Wang Zhongjun, looked at Wei Jiahui and said, "Brother Hui, you say." ”
"I hope the ending of the script can be changed, Shen Lian and Ding Xiu's revenge is very enjoyable, and the final duel is also very enjoyable, including Ding Xiu and the Jurchens fighting a group of scenes...... But I don't like this ending very much, I hope the ending is that Shen Lian didn't take revenge, he left, he thinks it's his mistake that he didn't kill Wei Zhongxian, he only blames himself. When Shen Lian left with two women, he ran into Zhao Jingzhong, which represented a kind of fate, Shen Lian still chose to escape, but Zhao Jingzhong was unwilling to kill him, so this fight was ......"
"In addition, I also hope to add a scene, otherwise the emotions between Shen Lian and Zhou Miaotong will not be clear, if Zhou Miaotong's father appears in the movie as a Jinyiwei official, and in the last few minutes of the scene, let this character carry Shen Lian into Jinyiwei's door, then Zhou Miaotong has a reason to completely hate Jinyiwei, his family rose because of Jinyiwei, and fell because of Jinyiwei; After that, Shen Lian had to lead someone to Zhou Miaotong's house in order to be loyal to the imperial court, and turned her into a ...... Later, the scene in the script was like that, and Shen Lian's self-redemption and knowing that Zhou Miaotong liked others and had to defend Zhou Miaotong's heart would be smoother in the eyes of men. ”
Call.
Wei Jiahui, who had said a lot in one breath, hurriedly replenished oxygen, and after hearing this qiē, Shao Yingying was stunned.
At the end of "Embroidered Spring Knife", director 6 Yang compromised with business, when China Film invested in this drama completely to see Zhang Zhen participate in the performance, he took out 3ooo million, and when 6 Yang persuaded Zhang Zhen to hand in the script, China Film's answer was 'The ending should be changed, and the audience expects the protagonist to see at the end to take the initiative to find **oss**, instead of being passively forced to shoot', so there is the ending that Shao Yingying has seen.
Shao Yingying would never have thought that the current Wei Jiahui would have the same idea as the future 6 Yang, and the two of them designed the exact same ending.
"The ending...... can't be changed, the rest, Brother Hui, listen to you. "Even Shao Yingying must bow to the market when Huayi is fighting, a heartwarming emotional exhibition and character direction are indeed very artistic, but once the artistry is enough, there will be a turning point at the box office.
