Chapter 303: Fighting in the Ring

Gu Cancan and Liang Qifan discussed the production of "The Voice of China" for a morning, this variety show needs to be prepared, it requires extremely high capital investment and professionalism, and Liang Qifan's planning needs at least 100 people in the production team.

Although it is not clear how many people there were in the production team of Zhejiang Satellite TV at the beginning, Gu Cancan feels that from the scale of the program, 100 people are afraid of more than 100 people.

Gu Cancan told Liang Qifan not to worry about the allocation of personnel, to be fully staffed, and not to worry about funds for stage construction, to ensure that the construction is of high grade, and this stage is not only used "The Voice of China", in the future, variety shows in the bright era will also produce singing variety shows, and the stage will be reused.

"Other variety shows?" Liang Qifan asked curiously.

Su Luo and Wang Xiaoxiao also looked at Gu Cancan curiously.

"That's what I think, now we have a scarcity of singers in the bright era, and there are only two combinations: Girls' Generation and Chopsticks Brothers. Let's not talk about the chopsticks brothers, as a girl group, the number of the three of them is too small. My idea is to conduct another huge audition for trainee recruitment, and then select 7 people, and expand Girls' Generation to 10 people. Gu Cancan's fingers tapped lightly on the table, and he thought about it and said: "Sister Su Luo, you send someone to Bang Guo to contact the artist economic company of Bang Guo, it is best to dig up one or two senior girl group planners, in terms of women's group training, Bang Guo has indeed come to the front of us, and it is not ashamed to learn from them." ”

Su Luo nodded: "Okay, I'll arrange it." ”

"The key to the selection of members of Girls' Generation is to mobilize the audience's sense of participation, Mr. Liang, can anyone in the variety show department pick up this burden now?"

Liang Qifan shook his head slowly: "Now the variety show department is understaffed, and they are busy with the production of the "The Voice of China" project. If you do a new show, you need to recruit people again. ”

"That's right," Gu Cancan pondered for a while, and said to Su Luo, "Then let's wait for the feedback from the Bang Country first." During this time, I will also think carefully about how to select, I will come up with a rough plan first, and then we will discuss it in detail. The top priority now is the production of "The Voice of China". ”

"Shall we put our financing work on hold for now?" Wang Xiaoxiao raised her hand and asked.

Gu Cancan said with a smile: "The funds raised so far are enough. The bright future is smiling and you are connected, the two are independent companies, and the finances must be clear. In addition, with a smile, send someone to follow up on the latest policies on the China Securities Regulatory Commission, especially the GEM policy that is only a little bit of a mouth, and be sure to understand the relevant news as soon as possible. ”

Wang Xiaoxiao nodded: "Don't worry about this, I've been paying attention to it." ”

Seeing that it was already noon, Gu Cancan beckoned a few people to go to the company's restaurant for dinner together.

After dinner, Gu Cancan went to the crew of "Heartbreaker".

Under the control of the two assistant directors, Gu Cancan has been hospitalized for a few days, and the filming progress has not fallen, Gu Cancan checked the shooting materials and was very satisfied.

There were occasional surprises, but overall, things were moving in the expected direction.

After two days of consideration, Li Zongsheng agreed to the invitation of the bright era, and the format of this show and the mentors of the same period made him tempted.

A day later, Zhou Huajian also replied, agreeing to Bright Times' request to invite him as a mentor, for reasons similar to Li Zongsheng's.

Of course, the money of the bright era is also in place.

The total remuneration of the four mentors is 20 million.

The large-scale investment in the filming of "Sword Rain" in the Bright Times gave Lu Yang confidence, and he took his script and submitted it to the Bright Times.

The film production department is personally in charge of Gu Cancan, and she looked at Lu Yang's script with a subtle expression.

The script had just been printed, and it still smelled of ink.

The three upright italic characters on the top: embroidered spring knife.

Lu Yang looked at Gu Cancan nervously, martial arts has declined in the past two years, many companies have stopped investing in martial arts dramas, and Bright Times has just invested in the filming of "Rain of Swords", and it is unknown whether they can come up with funds to make another martial arts film.

Gu Cancan looked at the script, then at Lu Yang, and sighed in his heart, it turned out that "Embroidered Spring Knife" was Lu Yang's book, was he directed and acted in the original time and space?

She picked up the script and flipped through it slowly.

Sure enough, it was the "Embroidered Spring Knife" in my memory.

Lu Yang is a talented director, the script is written very standardly, and not only the script, but also in some places he also drew storyboards, and how to use the camera and how to shoot it has been taken into account.

"Look at the beginning with a lot of ideas, I'll read the script well, and then I'll look for you." Gu Cancan said with a smile.

Lu Yang hurriedly said, "Okay, no problem, Mr. Gu." ”

After hesitating for a moment, he asked again: "Mr. Gu, if the company is willing to invest in filming, can I make the director myself?" ”

Gu Cancan smiled and said: "I see that you wrote the script very carefully, and the storyboard was taken into account, if the company invests in filming, the director will choose you to be the director." ”

"Thank you, Mr. Gu." Lu Yang nodded excitedly.

"Well, I'll find time to read the script in its entirety and get back to you later."

After Lu Yang left, Zhuang Yu also came to the door.

He also carries a script.

"'Going Home'?" Gu Cancan raised his eyebrows, looking at the name of Zhuang Yu's script, his face was about to turn into embarrassment.

Zhuang Yu smiled: "Mr. Gu, this embarrassing word is a hot word this year, because the shape and meaning of the word are very similar, I don't know how it became popular all of a sudden, I gave this name, and it was also popular." ”

What a sincere child.

Gu Cancan smiled and opened the script.

"Li Chenggong, the director of the toy factory, encountered hilarious embarrassments along the way in order to go home and ask for wages." Seeing the introduction, Gu Cancan sat up straight, a thought of disbelief flashed in his mind, and he hurriedly continued to read.

After a quick one-third of it, Gu Cancan was sure that this script was "People in Embarrassment".

Found a treasure.

In the original time and space, "People in Embarrassment" is a comedy movie invested by Pony Galloping, the first one has been well received by the audience, although the box office is not very high, but the sequels "Thai Embarrassment" and "Hong Kong Embarrassment" are both super bull films that have received more than one billion box office.

Zhuang Yu shuddered suddenly, and Gu Cancan's eyes suddenly looked at him like a wolf grandmother looking at Little Red Riding Hood.

"Mr. Gu?"

Gu Cancan said with a smile: "This script is good, it tells the comedy story of going home for the New Year, if it is screened at the end of the year, it will be liked by the audience." ”

Zhuang Yu was pleasantly surprised: "Then is our company willing to shoot?" ”

"Of course." Gu Cancan said with a smile: "If this movie starts to be filmed now, it can be released in time for the Spring Festival." Zhuang Yu thank you for providing such an excellent script to the company. ”

"It should be, it should be." Zhuang Yu was affirmed by Gu Cancan, and he was very happy in his heart, "Then I won't bother Mr. Gu first." ”

"Well, you go back first, and I'll go through the script well." said: "When I'm done, let's discuss in detail how this script should be filmed and who will play it." ”

Getting two very good scripts at once, Gu Cancan was very happy in his heart, which was an unexpected joy.

A month later.

The filming of "Heartbreaker" ended and entered intense post-production.

After preliminary preparations, "The Voice of China" began a large-scale nationwide publicity.

Liang Qifan has participated in the preparation and production of the "Super Girl" project, and is very handy on how to publicize and build momentum.

After the editing and post-production of "Rain of Swords" ended, the release time was determined, and it was set for the 11th Golden Week.

Eleventh is a period of fierce competition, but the audience's enthusiasm for watching movies is also the highest at this time.

The Propaganda Department of the Bright Times, but the atmosphere at this time is a little dignified.

At the beginning, "Rain of Swords" was scheduled for October 1, and the movies in the same period already had "Keep Talking" and "007: Breaking Quantum of Solace" competing at the same time, but after calculation, the number of moviegoers in the eleventh gear can support the release of your three hot films at the same time, and the overlap of the viewing groups of the three movies is not high, so it will not cause a serious battle.

But just this morning, Jiang Meiying got a definite news that Wu Yusen's "Red Cliff" was also scheduled for October 1.

"Red Cliff" claims to have invested 85 million US dollars, which is converted into nearly 600 million soft sister coins, even if it is discounted, there is at least an investment of more than 300 million, which is a veritable super production.

Since the beginning of filming, "Red Cliff" has been in the news and has always attracted a lot of attention.

Bright Times originally estimated that "Red Cliff" would be set for New Year's Day, after all, this blockbuster has a huge investment, filming will end in March, and post-production will take at least half a year, plus publicity, how can it not be released until after November, but I didn't expect it to be set to eleventh gear.

Now the pressure on "Sword Rain" is great, and now the domestic film market cannot tolerate four movies released at the same time, all of which can get hundreds of millions of box office.

Someone in the Propaganda Department proposed to change the file, but Jiang Meiying refused without hesitation.

The promotion of "Sword Rain" has been put on the agenda, and the money in the early stage of the revision schedule is equivalent to being spent in vain, money is not a problem, the key is to avoid it if you encounter a big production, which will give people a very bad impression.

"But the other party is Wu Yusen's film, and "Red Cliff" has gathered China, Hong Kong and Taiwan film superstars Liang Chaowei, Zhao Wei, Jin Chengwu, Zhang Fengyi, Zhang Zhen, Hu Jun starring, whether it is the cast or financial investment, it is difficult for us to compete with "Red Cliff". Someone raised it worriedly.

"Yes, I specifically went to learn about this film, the war scenes and facilities and equipment are very rigorous, plus these well-known actors, and director Wu Yusen, this movie should have been booked for the eleventh ticket king."

Jiang Meiying said: "The difficulty is there, this time we retreated, what about next time?" Now that the Chinese film market is beginning to recover, there are more and more movies with big investment and big productions, can't we retreat and change the schedule every time a movie in our bright era encounters it, right? Mr. Gu also said that the schedule remains unchanged, and the publicity fee has been raised by 2 million. ”

"That publicity also needs the cooperation of Mr. Gu, and Mr. Gu can't be absent from the promotion of "Sword Rain". Someone mentioned it again.

Jiang Meiying nodded: "I'll go and communicate with Mr. Gu." ”

She went to Gu Cancan's office, and Gu Cancan was watching TV.

"Bass Appointment".

This issue of "A Date with Perch" happens to be an interview with the crew of "Red Cliff", and it seems that the publicity of "Red Cliff" has begun to be in full swing.

"I hope that the story of the Three Kingdoms is not as far away as 2,000 years, but has a modern spirit in it, so I restored many of the characters in it to be closer to the truth. First of all, this is an international film, and I hope that Western audiences can also understand it, but they are not familiar with our history and do not understand the characters of the Three Kingdoms. And the Chinese audience doesn't need to explain, as soon as you see the roar like thunder and the full beard on your face, you know that it is Zhang Fei, and the long beard is Guan Yu. Therefore, the screenwriter has to make some adjustments in terms of skills, for example, many Westerners have seen our "The Art of War", and Zhuge Liang has designed a gossip array before, so we use the art of war to shoot it, it will be spectacular, and the audience will like to watch it. ”

On TV, Wu Yusen rarely participated in a talk show in the mainland, and was talking to Lu Yu about his thoughts and concepts of filming "Red Cliff".

Wang Xiaoxiao walked to Gu Cancan's side, stared at the TV, and said softly: "Cancan, "Red Cliff" collided with us. ”

"I know." Gu Cancan sighed.

Gu Cancan also went to the cinema to watch the movie "Red Cliff" in the original time and space, after all, there are several actors in this movie that she admires very much.

And this history, the Red Cliffs of the Three Kingdoms, a gathering of heroes! Cao Cao coerced the Son of Heaven to order the princes, led millions of people, and waved his army south! Zhuge Liang is a fledgling, and his tongue fights the heroes, borrowing the east wind to join Sun Wu! The Metropolitan Governor turned the tide, burned the red cliffs, and fought the thieves!

This is the beginning of the Three Kingdoms, the heroes and heroes of the Three Kingdoms gather here, good lords and virtuous ministers, clever and ingenious, and fierce soldiers!

But......

To this day, Gu Cancan still remembers some stalks.

Zhou Yu asked Kong Ming: Is it so cold and still holding a fan?

Kong Ming: Because I need to stay calm at all times.

Kong Ming asked Zhou Yu: Can you hear it so far away?

Zhou Yu: After all, I am sensitive to sound.

Little Joe asked Zhou Yu: The foal doesn't have a name yet, what is the name?

Zhou Yu: Since you were born in the land of Jingchu, you have to call it a name for Jingchu, just call it Mengmeng. ”

Gu Cancan clearly remembers that when she watched "Red Cliff" in the cinema, there were several collective laughs in the cinema.

However, even though Wu Yusen's filming of "Red Cliff" has little to do with history, it won more than 300 million box office, which has to make Gu Cancan cautious.

"Cancan, this time against "Red Cliff", you have to cooperate well with our publicity, and you also know that you are the most famous in our "Sword Rain". Zhang Zhen estimated that he would not come. ”

Gu Cancan nodded and said with a smile: "I didn't expect to fight in the ring with "Red Cliff", but don't worry too much about Sister Meiying, this time I will cooperate with the publicity throughout the whole process, and I will also bring Yu Feihong, I can't let her go down so much." ”

"Well, except for Zhang Zhen, everyone else is involved in the promotion. The crew will be on a few talk shows first, and you can't be absent this time. ”

"No absence, no absence, even if it's "Happy Camp", if people agree, I'll go."

Jiang Meiying laughed: "Then it's decided." Cancan, "Happy Camp" really promised us to do a show. ”

...... the latest chapter of "Transforming into a National Goddess Claw Book House" is free to read for the first time.
