Chapter 1104: Feng Xiaogang's Phone

"To have an excellent actor like you is definitely a blessing for me as a director, and even for the entire crew!"

In the film crew, director Li Case looked at Menjie's superb acting skills and couldn't help but smack his tongue.

Originally, Menjie's acting skills were able to break through to A-level during the audition and officially became a qualified actor-level actor, and director Li Case was already quite surprised.

But after that, Menjie's surprise to him did not end, not to mention the incomparably strong temperament and ability, just talking about acting skills, when he was filming the movie, he was successfully promoted to the A+ level.

After a few months of hard work, he went from entering the A level to the A+ level, you must know that although such a leap is only a small step, for other actors, it will take at least a few years to achieve.

I thought that Menjie's leap was already quite amazing, but when I was filming the movie today, director Li Case was surprised again.

Menjie's acting skills have improved a little!

Of course, it is impossible to break through in acting skills again in just a few days, but it is just that Menjie has improved a little bit on the basis of the original A+-level acting skills.

In terms of acting skills alone, among the many actors with A+ level acting skills, Menjie can definitely be regarded as moderately biased!

It has been about a month since Menjie's breakthrough, and Menjie's acting skills have made such a huge progress, which is really shocking, this is a visible progress!

Not to mention the director Li case, even Menjie himself was quite surprised by the progress of his acting skills during this time.

Originally, when Menjie was a month away from the completion of the movie "Lust and Caution", his acting skills successfully broke through from the original A-level to the current A+ level because of the use of 'top temperament ability training'.

And because the training evaluation is very good. He was rewarded with 20% acting proficiency, and his acting proficiency directly increased by 100 points!

Then, during the filming process of about a month, because of the starring role and the actor badge, Menjie was able to obtain three acting proficiency levels every day, and in more than a month, it was exactly 100 points.

At the end of the year, because when Menjie auditioned for the movie "Casting a Name", he relied on his superb acting skills and the strong ability to integrate the top temperament and high-end temperament that is unmatched in the whole of China. even won the world's kung fu superstar Li Lianjie and took away the No. 1 actor in the movie "Casting a Name".

Because of defeating the famous old top actor in Huaxia, Men Jie even won 20% of the acting proficiency rewarded by the Tianwang system, which is also 100 points.

As a result, Menjie's current acting skills have reached the level of 'A+ grade 300/500'. It can definitely be regarded as a top-notch level among the actor-level actors with A+ level acting skills!

It's no wonder that director Li Case mutters every day that it is the luck of the entire crew to be able to let the actor in the movie "Lust and Caution" be able to make Men, not only the director Li case. Even one of the most ordinary staff members in the crew. can also clearly see how obvious Menjie's progress is!

"That's over, haha! is worthy of being a doorman, on average, there is not even one NG per scene! ”

Seeing that Menjie perfectly showed his strong temperament and superb acting skills, and the things he filmed perfectly matched his inner thoughts, director Li couldn't help but clap his hands. Said loudly.

Another scene has passed!

"Menjie, you take a rest first, and then it's Wang Lihong's role! Everyone worked hard, and it didn't take more than a few days. Our movie is about to be officially finished! ”

After several months of filming, everyone in the entire crew was very tired, but because there were only two or three days left before it could be officially completed, everyone was gritting their teeth and persevering.

Cheer up, fully immerse yourself in the role, and continue shooting!

However, Menjie on the side didn't feel too much, drinking the milk tea sent by the agent a little and fiddling with his mobile phone.

For a long time, Menjie has paid great attention to the 'combination of work and rest', and other actors may spend most of their time every day filming, figuring out the characters, and grasping everything in the world to catch up with the announcement, and there is not much time to rest, and the natural mental state is not very good.

But Menjie is different!

It doesn't take long to figure out the characters at all, you only need to watch the original movie a few times in the Tianwang system, and you can figure it out a little, and the announcement is even more because Menjie himself is the chairman of a celebrity film and television company, and he is not short of money at all.

Even when filming, because he never NG, Menjie didn't work hard at all, he couldn't shoot for a long time every day, most of the time was resting, and the rest time was even more so, because of the 'energetic', Menjie didn't need to sleep for a few hours every day, and naturally there was a lot of leisure time every day, and he wouldn't feel tired at all.

And after the movie "Lust and Caution" is completed, others may take a break for a while, but Menjie plans to continue to work, take a break of two or three days, and then directly participate in the movie "Vote for Fame".

After all, it is the first movie of a celebrity film and television company, and it definitely has a huge significance, and Menjie does not dare to delay time.

As long as this film can be successful, there is also another film that Huaxia Film Group needs to arrange theaters for celebrity film and television companies.

If both movies are very successful, combined with the movie "Spartan 300 Warriors" released in China, celebrity film and television companies will be able to officially gain a foothold in the Chinese film industry, which will be of great help!

As long as the market for the celebrity film and television company is opened, then Men Jie can continue to be his own 'decision-maker' position, just like the TV series produced by the celebrity film and television company, Men Jie only needs to make a decision, and he doesn't have to act in person.

It is indeed a great way to save a lot of time and effort.

"Menjie, your phone!"

When Menjie was stunned, the agent Zhao Quan walked over, handed the buzzing and vibrating mobile phone to Menjie, and said softly. "It's Feng Xiaogang's call!"

Feng Xiaogang?!

After listening to Zhao Quan's words, Menjie was stunned for a moment, then hurriedly picked up the phone, and at the same time ran directly to the dressing room.

will call himself when he is filming a movie, but it is conceivable that it is definitely not because he is idle and bored, but because he has a job to talk to Menjie.

"Menjie, I heard that you won something from the hands of Huaxia Film Group, and recently your company is planning to make two films?"

As soon as they picked up the phone and said hello to each other, Feng Xiaogang said directly to Menjie.

For celebrity film and television companies. Entering the film industry is definitely the company's top priority at the moment, and in addition to the quality of the film itself, publicity is also essential.

Naturally, as early as a few days ago, celebrity film and television companies have already announced that they are ready to make two movies. The news of the official entry into the film industry.

Combined with the TV series produced by the former celebrity film and television company, each of them is quite popular, for the two TV series that the company is preparing to produce this time. Indeed, there are many people who are quite optimistic.

However, Feng Xiaogang would call him to inquire about this matter. Menjie was a little puzzled.

"Is there anything you have prepared at the moment?"

Seeing that Menjie admitted, Feng Xiaogang asked directly at Menjie.

"I got a good script from Huaxia Film Group, and I have invited director Chen Kexin, as well as Liu Dehua, Jin Chengwu, Xu Jinglei and myself to join, and it will be officially launched in about half a month!"

Facing Feng Xiaogang, Menjie said without hesitation. Anyway, this matter is about to be made public, and the contract has been signed, and Menjie doesn't need to hide anything.

And Feng Xiaogang is not the kind of person who will talk nonsense everywhere.

"As for another movie...... Huaxia Film Group only promised that after the filming was completed, it would be responsible for the work originally arranged. Director Feng, you also know that our celebrity film and television company has a lot of good TV drama scripts, but there are not many excellent movie scripts! ”

With a wry smile, Men Jie couldn't help but whisper to Feng Xiaogang.

Indeed, there has been no movement on the question of another film.

In Menjie's mind, because he didn't have a good script in his hand, he didn't have much hope for another movie, and only planned to find a script with good results to invest directly, but even if it was a script for a movie with "barely good results", so far, Menjie has not found it, which is indeed a little embarrassing.

"So you haven't found another movie yet? If it is found, Huaxia Film Group will be fully responsible for the release arrangement of the film, right? ”

"Well, Huaxia Film Group will be responsible, and it has been said that if it is released, it must be arranged according to the number of theaters of their group's main films!"

Nodding slightly, Menjie said softly.

"In that case...... I have a very good script in my hand, does your company plan to invest in filming? ”

Suddenly, Feng Xiaogang asked directly at Menjie, but Menjie was stunned.

For a while, I didn't even understand what Feng Xiaogang meant!

"I have a script called "Assembly" in my hand, it is a war-themed movie, I think the script is very good, I want to direct this movie, if it was before, I might have chosen Huayi Brothers directly, but now...... I haven't wanted it for a while, which company should I find to invest in filming, if you have this intention, we can make an appointment ......"

"Yes, yes, yes!"

After knowing Feng Xiaogang's specific meaning, and after hearing the name "Assembly Number", Menjie didn't even think about it, and hurriedly said it loudly, but Zhao Quan, who was guarding the door for Menjie, couldn't help but be startled.

In fact, it's no wonder that Men Jie was excited, the meaning of Feng Xiaogang's words was quite clear.

I'm going to collaborate on a movie with a celebrity film and television company!

And the name of this movie is called "The Assembly"!

When Menjie selected the script from the hands of Huaxia Film Group, he focused on checking the 2007 Huaxia film box office list, and the first place was the Hollywood blockbuster "Transformers", which naturally went without saying, Menjie's main attention was still on local Chinese movies.

The third position is the movie "Casting Names", which has a box office infinitely close to 200 million, and Menjie finally decided to invest in filming.

And the second place position is the movie "Assembly"!

The box office result of more than 24,600 soft girl coins is nearly 50 million soft girl coins higher than the box office score of nearly 50 million soft girl coins that Menjie is preparing to invest in and shoot!

And what you have to know is that the original movie "Vote for Fame" is a claimed investment of 40 million US dollars. The actual investment is definitely more than 200 million soft girl coins.

And the investment in the movie "Assembly" is only 100 million soft girl coins!

The movie invested by 100 million soft sister coins has won a box office of 246 million, while the movies invested by more than 200 million soft girl coins have only won a box office result of less than 200 million, which one is more profitable and which one is more popular, it goes without saying!

Naturally, after Menjie received a call from director Feng Xiaogang and heard the name, he hurriedly agreed, for fear that Feng Xiaogang would give this opportunity to others!

And......

If it's Feng Xiaogang. Not to mention the movie "Assembly", even if it is a movie that can barely recover its costs, or even has a high chance of losing money, Menjie will definitely invest in it.

The investment is not in the movie itself, but in Feng Xiaogang!

He's just the one who works. It is worthy of Menjie, even if it is more investment!

A movie Menjie invested very happily, and Feng Xiaogang did not have any problems during the filming process. Wait until his next film. I will definitely choose a celebrity film and television company!

Maybe Feng Xiaogang will directly choose to join the celebrity film and television company, so it will definitely make a lot of money!

Naturally, Menjie will not hesitate to agree!

"Director Feng, as long as it's a movie you fancy and you're ready to direct this movie. Our celebrity film and television company will invest! ”

Before Feng Xiaogang could tell the specific content of the movie, how much to invest, and the cast, Menjie agreed without hesitation.

"Not to mention the movie script, even if it's for Director Feng, I'm willing to spend more money!"

I have to say. Menjie's words made Feng Xiaogang quite surprised!

Feng Xiaogang's reputation is very big, basically there is no company that is unwilling to invest in the movies he directs, but including Feng Xiaogang's original Huayi Brothers Entertainment Company, it is not very smooth.

At least the other party will also have a very detailed consultation and discussion with Feng Xiaogang in terms of casting and investment after understanding all the information.

Even Feng Xiaogang, every time he is ready to direct a certain movie, he will argue with the company, just to get more investment.

And Menjie, who doesn't even have a clear understanding of the content of the script, is willing to invest just by virtue of his own name, I have to say that Zhang Yimou is quite happy in his heart.

"Ha Luha, just have your words, I didn't expect my Feng Xiaogang's name to be so valuable now! But you can also take a good look at the script, I believe in your vision very much! ”

Ha Lu smiled, although Feng Xiaogang was happy, he did not get carried away, and still insisted on sending the script to Menjie.

Sure enough, after a while, Menjie's agent Zhao Quan brought a laptop, and Feng Xiaogang had already sent Menjie the movie called "Assembly".

Although due to time reasons, Menjie couldn't watch the movie "Assembly" completely through the Tianwang system for a while, but he still pretended to read the script again.

In fact, in terms of film investment and actor selection, Menjie has long understood it very clearly through the Tianwang system.

"Director Feng, the script is very good, and if you can do a good enough job in the details, the actors are also more mature, plus if you are to direct, I estimate that the box office of the movie will probably reach around 250 million, and even if it reaches 300 million soft girl coins, it may not be impossible!"

After smoking a cigarette, Menjie called Feng Xiaogang again, but he still muttered with annoyance, "It's a pity that I have already taken over the role of the male number one in the movie "Casting Names", otherwise I will definitely participate in Director Feng's movie, I have a hunch that your movie will definitely be better than the movie "Casting Names" in which I participated!" ”

Menjie does have some regrets in his heart, but in fact, if Menjie is allowed to choose, he may still choose the movie "Vote for Fame".

After all, in terms of temperament, Menjie is still more suitable for the No. 1 actor in the movie "Casting Names", and can better reflect his personal charm, even if the results of the movie "Casting Names" are slightly inferior to Feng Xiaogang's "Assembly Number".

"Ha Luha, the most important thing in my movie is the storyline, not the actors, if you really participate in this movie, the actors' salaries alone will be much more, and I plan to spend all my investment on film production, actors' salaries, and I plan to rely on my old face to invite, I hope it will be less!"

After chatting with Menjie for a while, Feng Xiaogang asked at Menjie fiercely.

"But then again, I don't know if you have any plans to invest in this movie?"

If it is another company, it may need to be systematically reviewed by professionals, but for the celebrity film and television company that is not too large in scale and everything is still in charge of Menjie himself, basically as long as Menjie speaks, this matter is basically settled, Feng Xiaogang didn't bother to ask afterwards, and asked directly to Menjie.

"Below 200 million, Director Feng feels that he can recover the cost to some extent, and celebrity film and television companies are willing to pay!"

Menjie also said without hesitation, in fact, with a box office result of 250 million, plus the surrounding words, even if the celebrity film and television company invests two or three billion, it will definitely not lose money.

Naturally, I agreed very happily!

"Good! Ha Luha, since you are so happy, then my movie will cooperate with a celebrity film and television company! As for the details later, I will find time to negotiate with Wan Tongtong, the general manager of your company! ”

Seeing that Menjie was so happy, Zhang Yimou no longer hesitated, nodded directly and said, and directly finalized this matter.

"Happy working together!"

"Happy working together!" (To be continued......)
