Chapter 347: The Eve of the Storm
When Wang Baoqiang was brought to the two of them, he still had an indignant look on his honest face.
"Silly roots?" Feng Xiaogang looked at the person in front of him in surprise, and in less than a second, he immediately said with certainty, "Silly root!" β
"Director Feng, Teacher Lin, I, my name is Wang, Wang Baoqiang......" Wang Baoqiang was nervous, and his mouth was a little knotted.
His eyes looking at Lin Xiao were full of envy, the actor! This is the honor that many people yearn for, it can be described as the supreme pursuit of filmmakers, and only such people are the "entertainment industry" that many people see. β
More unknown newcomers like him were chosen by the audience to be blind.
However, in the next second, he was even more nervous.
Because of Lin Xiao and Feng Xiaogang, no one answered his words, but looked him up and down.
"I ...... I don't call it stupid......" Wang Baoqiang defended in a low voice, but his voice became lower and lower, and he couldn't hear it anymore.
Feng Xiaogang's eyes became brighter and brighter the more he looked at it, his small eyes were focused, and he turned his head to Lin Xiao and said, "This is what you call stupid roots?" β
"How?" Lin Xiao was also looking at Wang Baoqiang, the other party specially wore a suit, but unfortunately it was not too straight, it looked a little wrinkled, and coupled with the figure problem, not only did he not line the suit, but how awkward it looked.
"I'm not called a stupid ......"
It's a pity that Wang Baoqiang's protest was ignored, and after more than ten seconds, Feng Xiaogang rubbed his chin with satisfaction and nodded, "Appearance is 100 points, where did you know this person?" β
Wang Baoqiang was a little confused, what's going on? The other party didn't seem to listen to what he said, but looked at himself with a strange gaze?
Could it be that the thinking of directors and big names is different from ordinary people?
"Did you go to a professional university?" Feng Xiaogang smiled and said, "Don't be nervous, you have to be confident." β
"No ......"
"What about academic qualifications?"
"High school."
"What about your current profession?"
ββ¦β¦ Builder ......"
"Have you ever acted in a film?"
"Done!" Wang Baoqiang's eyes shone brightly: "I made a film the year before last!" β
"Good." Feng Xiaogang didn't continue to ask, "You take a copy of your resume to the staff, tell him what I said, and let him give it to me." Also, sign a contract in a few days. β
"Sign ...... Sign...... Agency?! Wang Baoqiang wondered if he had heard it wrong, not only him, but also the mouths of several staff members around him had opened their mouths into an "O" shape.
Teacher Lin and Director Feng, what's going on?! No matter how you look at this person, he's a big layman! There are so many people who come out of art school majors don't want this construction worker?!
The group performance of this crew, as long as they nod, thousands of them can be sold casually, or the kind of group performance that can't see the face, with more than 10,000 lines, what kind of shit luck did this stunned boy take to get this kind of opportunity?
"It's a contract." Lin Xiao said with certainty: "You are now one of the crew." β
Wang Baoqiang felt that the ground in front of him had turned upside down.
He didn't think that he could sign a contract at all, but he just had the mentality of giving it a try, and he was absolutely not at ease if he didn't come to this kind of opportunity. But I didn't expect that I could be selected by the examiner.
As his co-worker said, what if he has acted in a movie, it's not that no company has taken a fancy to him, a person with no education and no appearance, and he still goes to the construction site to move bricks.
Now, he has entered the country's first crew with an investment of 10 million. He felt like a dream.
"This ...... It's true? He muttered and asked, without waiting for Lin Xiao and them to answer, he immediately shouted in ecstasy, "Can I really join this crew?" Can I sign a contract with the crew? Those who can sign are all supporting roles! Can I play a supporting role in this crew with an investment of 10 million?! β
Lin Xiao and Feng Xiaogang smiled and nodded, and Wang Baoqiang shouted excitedly. Only then did he suppress his extreme excitement, turned his head to them and said "Thank you!" Thank you two examiners for your affirmation! Thank you, Director Feng! Thank you, Mr. Lin! I'll definitely do my best! You trust me! β
"Okay, we believe, but let's go change and leave your contact information first." Feng Xiaogang smiled and patted him on the shoulder, "Good job, stupid root." β
"I'm not called stupid ......" After a long time, seeing the figure of the two getting into the car, Wang Baoqiang reacted and muttered.
Time passed quickly, and as he advanced day by day, Lin Xiao felt that he was about to break his leg.
However, it is also very fulfilling, the preparatory work in the early stage of film and television is something he has never been exposed to, and this time, he participated in almost every step of the process.
He understands that this is to prepare for his next step, and to get such a good opportunity to practice his hands, it is really not to be missed.
He is confident that after his own concoction, he will definitely achieve greater success, especially in the era when Chinese commercial films are still exploring, which is enough to establish a huge reputation for him.
And his idea of exceeding the current era, if it is not a trinity like Zhou Xingchi, how many companies dare to invest? How many directors will let him direct? In the end, it was filmed in the opposite direction, but it ruined a classic.
Only when each classic is engraved with its own name can it pave the way for that superstar.
"After there are no thieves in the world, in the following films, I will control everything with my own hands and create my own glory!" He thinks about it all the time.
On May 15th, the final funds in place at dawn, Lin Xiao sold all his fixed assets, once returned to before liberation, he made up enough three million, and Mr. Qin also gritted his teeth and took out one million, and finally, at Lin Xiao's insistence, the mortgage was broken, and when Chu Yiming learned the news, he scolded the two of them and said that he had paid for the loss.
May 20th.
Wang Zhongjun invited guests again and went to the box in person.
Zhou Xun, Zhang Hanyu, Lin Xiao, Ge You, Zhao Wei, Wang Baoqiang, Fan Wei, Feng Yuanzheng, eight major artists gathered together, Wang Zhongjun raised his glass and sighed, "Invest 20 million, now, it can be said that all the staff have arrived......"
"20 million, it's not easy to come by, Huayi 7 million, Dawn 7 million, and the rest are from advertising placement. Master Kong's family injected more than 2 million yuan...... This money is too hard to come by. β
"So, we can't afford to fail!" He looked at everyone with a serious face, and said word by word, "Everyone here has at least more than ten years of experience in the industry, or they are actors." In the outside world, everyone is a stomp on the crew. Everyone is a super red star above the first line, so to speak, other movies, please invite one of you, there is a guarantee. β
"But there are no thieves in the world, please put away your temper, this is Huayi's annual drama, and it is also the first time that China has opened the world! To be honest, when Xiaogang proposed this project to me, I hesitated for a long time. It's not just a lot of money, it's a brand! One impression! β
"This crew, please be sure to follow the arrangement, everyone is a big name, Red Star, if there is, I don't say that everyone understands, knows what we are facing, I don't believe you haven't heard the rumors. To beat each other, we have to go all out! β
"Finally, I wish the world no thieves at the box office!"
Everyone, including Lin Xiao, touched a glass fiercely.
At the top of the circle, everyone knows the rumors, everyone has heard that there is also a blockbuster with an investment of 10 million yuan this year that will meet with them, just at the end of the year!
The actor is also divided into three, six, nine and so on, even if everyone here is a big name, but compared to Li Lianjie and Chen Zhiming, they also think they are weaker.
But what is this afraid of? If you win, everyone will go higher, and if you don't dare to bet, you won't win!
At this moment, everyone's hearts were boiling, and they knew that the real battle was about to begin.
The preliminary work has come to an end, the props, the venue is Wang Zhongjun himself, after several months of preparation, the competition between thieves and heroes in the world is about to kick off!
From the beginning of the press conference to the box office in the first week, Huayi, the Dawn United Army, will usher in a new picture of Zhang Yimou, Zhang Weiping's strong sniping.
Lin Xiao, Zhao Wei, Zhou Xun, Ge You lead, facing Li Lianjie, Liang ChΓ‘o Wei, Maggie Cheung, Chen Zhiming, Donnie Yen's lineup.
"Three days later, at two o'clock in the afternoon, Xinhai Hotel will hold a conference without thieves in the world!"
In the end, Wang Zhongjun put down his wine glass heavily and said this.
Chinese commercial films, who dominates the ups and downs, from the beginning of the press conference, will be blood-stained on the journey!
Next, when everyone spoke freely, Zhao Wei and Lin Xiao had already become acquainted, Ge You also had a relationship with him, Zhou Xun was Zhao Wei's close friend, and Huang Xiaoming was not invited because the corner was too light, so they naturally got together.
"Lin Xiao, I heard that your company is all pressing?" Zhao Wei held a glass of wine and asked with concern, "Will it go too far?" β
"This time, the opponent is the godfather of Chinese cinema." Zhou Xun also reminded that she had a good impression of Lin Xiao, "If you have passed, naturally you will go to the next level and reach a level of fame close to Chen Zhiming, but ......"
She didn't finish speaking, no matter how exciting Wang Zhongjun's mobilization is, the gap in reality cannot be ignored.
Who hasn't seen Once Upon a Time? Who hasn't seen Heaven and Dragon Slayer? Almost no one in the post-80s generation hasn't seen it. Just being an actor is a symbol of the times, and the name Li Lianjie is comparable to the undefeated Lin Qingxia in the East.
"If you don't fight, how do you know the result?" Lin Xiao groaned for a moment before saying, "You think I'm not worried?" If Director Feng fails, what he loses is only Huayi's tight funds and reduced reputation within a year. What about me? If you lose, you're nothing. β
120 million and 250 million, although there are two big reasons for the first commercial film and the increase in audience choice after joining the WTO, which has caused the box office to disperse year by year, but he is also really worried.
The gap of doubling is not so easy to make up, although now they also occupy the first commercial blockbuster, and the plot of no thieves in the world is definitely stronger than the hero, however, before the Chinese New Year war, who can tell.
"I don't want to see you sell your body to pay off your debts." Zhao Wei made fun of it, and said, "Peace of mind, I've read the script, and it's really impeccable." In a movie, the important thing is the plot. β
"Hope."
Just when Huayi was mobilized, the new picture company was also full of people.
Here, it is not only the actor who sits, but it can even be said that there are many superstars.
Liang ChΓ‘owei, Zhang Manyu, Donnie Yen, Li Lianjie, Chen Zhiming, these top actors, are all here.
Zhang Yimou sat in the main seat, and no one had any opinions.
"Huayi's movie has already moved. A press conference will be held the day after tomorrow. He said lightly, "It's time for us to move." β
"At the end of this year, only for heroes! Who else is me?! β
