171 Film Preparatory Meeting

Because it was the first formal meeting of this play, before the meeting began, Shao Hua, as the main investor and chief producer of this play, first introduced the identities of the participants in the meeting, in addition to Lily and Xiaofan, who are one of the producers and investors, the screenwriter and director of this play and the relevant personnel of some other departments also sat in the conference room.

At the beginning of the meeting, Shao Hua asked the screenwriter of this play to briefly introduce the general content of the film to everyone.

The screenwriter is a man who looks to be in his early forties, because Xiao Fan didn't know much about this industry before, so he didn't know what kind of position the person in front of him was in the mainland screenwriting industry.

Jin Yan briefly introduced the main content of this movie, this is a costume drama, the background of the story is set in the Ming Dynasty, mainly describing the story between the three male protagonists who are soldiers from the initial worship to the final because of their different values, each with a different ending in life, the subline is the emotional entanglement between the three male protagonists and the heroine for more than ten years.

The whole story is written under Jin Yan's wonderful pen full of contradictory tension, and Xiao Fan was already attracted by the exciting and wonderful story when he flipped through the script before the meeting.

After Jin Yan introduced the general content of the story, Lili, as the producer, gave everyone a general introduction to the investment situation of this drama.

Because it is a costume drama and there are many large-scale fight scenes, the investment in this drama is very large, and it is expected that the investment will be more than 60 million, except for Xiaofan's 10 million, all the rest of the money is invested independently by Shao Hua's film and television company.

After Lily introduced the investment matter, under the chairmanship of Shao Hua, everyone studied the most important topic in this meeting, that is, the issue of casting, the new rise of the sixth generation director Song Cheng in the mainland first expressed his views on this issue, in Shao Hua's film and television company, there is a recently emerging male artist in the film industry named Wang Bo, which is very suitable for the role of the third brother in this play, in addition to him, Sun Yuting, a newly signed female artist in Shao Hua's company, can also be qualified for the role of the second female lead, and for other roles, Song Cheng suggested that all the actors in today's Chinese film industry be invited to play, and the other main creators have no objection to this.

After the general direction was determined, the specific casting issue became the focus of everyone's discussion.

The current situation in today's Chinese film industry is that the best director is in Taiwan, the best actor is in Hong Kong, and the best actress is in the mainland.

The names of the actors recommended by the creators are all actors who are currently popular and have excellent acting skills.

At the end of the meeting, everyone determined the main work plan for the next step, and in the next period of time, the main work of the director and others was to select the scene, while Shao Hua and Lily were responsible for the specific casting matters.

After arranging the work tasks for the next period of time, the meeting officially ended, and under Shao Hua's recommendation, Xiaofan and the other main creators did not exchange contact information with each other.

After returning to Shao Hua's office, Lily brought a lot of information to Xiao Fan.

"These are all materials for first-line actors in today's Chinese film industry." After handing the materials to her, Lily explained, "You take it back and see, and if you have any ideas on the casting issue, we can communicate at any time." ”

Xiao Fan took the information, briefly looked at it a few times, he decided to take a good look at the information after going back, since he was involved in this matter, he should do his best to do it well, maybe he may not really be able to give any valuable opinions and suggestions, but he must be serious and responsible in attitude.

"Lily, you call Wenwen to see if she has time in the evening, let's go out to dinner together." Shao Hua said to Lily.

"Go ahead, I won't go." Xiao Fan waved his hand and smiled, "I drank too much at Mayor Ji Wei's house last night, and Linlin is still unhappy today, I have to go back early, and I also want to go back and study the information of these artists." ”

"Do you know Mayor Ji Wei?" Shao Hua asked with a curious smile.

"Well, I just met each other for a short time." Xiao Fan replied truthfully, "He is Meng Nan's uncle, and yesterday was the first time to visit his house. ”

"When will you introduce me?" Shao Hua smiled at Xiao Fan and said, "You know, I have just come to Binhai not long ago, and all aspects of my network have not been fully established, so it is not a bad thing to have more contact with people in all aspects." ”

"I understand." Xiao Fan nodded without thinking about it and said, "I will definitely introduce you to each other when there is a suitable opportunity, but Sister Shao Hua, don't worry, you have to wait for the right time." ”

"There's no hurry." Shao Hua nodded to understand what Xiaofan meant.

"I almost forgot something." Xiao Fan smiled at Shao Hua and said, "My sister Xiaoyu, you've seen it, and you want me to ask you for something." ”

"What's the matter, you say." Shao Hua looked at Xiao Fan very seriously and said.

Xiao Fan then told Shao Hua about Xiaoyu's request to play a small role in the movie.

"This matter, you look for her." Shao Hua smiled and pointed at Lily, "She is the executive producer of this drama, and she is responsible for this matter." ”

"It's a small thing." Lily smiled and said to Xiao Fan, "However, I can probably only give Sister Xiaoyu a very small role, but, I promise, there are definitely lines." ”

Seeing that this matter was done so smoothly, Xiao Fan was naturally very happy.

"Xiaofan, when I was at your party that day, how did I find that the relationship between your sister and Lao Zhao seems to be a little unusual." Shao Hua remembered the scene at the Zhengyang Restaurant that day, and couldn't help but smile at Xiaofan.

"I found out about that, too." Xiao Fan said with a smile, "And from all indications, these two people do have a problem." ”

"So there's a real problem." Lily smiled happily, "I have to interrogate Lao Zhao properly when I go back." ”

"Well, go back and find a time, get everyone together, and tell him to be honest." Shao Hua's gossip heart also rose spontaneously.

After laughing with the two of them for a while, Xiao Fan left Shao Hua's film and television company and took a taxi towards Zhengyang Restaurant.
