Chapter 52: Competition!
TiMi Media rented an office building on Yaojiayuan...
Six-storey.
The rent is not expensive, the state is increasing its support for the film industry, and it is an established strategy to get a few leading private studios to stimulate the market...
There are definitely tax deductions.
Zhao Liying and Zhang Hanyun have been here a few times, and they are familiar with the road.
Arriving at the brokerage department on the third floor, Chen Xi was talking to Wang Jinghua on the phone.
Wang Jinghua wanted to take the opportunity to pack all the half-popular actors into "Mythology" and collectively brush their faces...
How is that possible?
Not to mention anything else, Xiang Yu must be Tan Kai - although I am dead today, I am still the overlord of Western Chu, and I directly shouted out Xiang Yu...
Watching "Myth", one is Zhao Gao, who is ascending step by step, and the other is Xiang Yu who killed himself in Wujiang...
Other roles also have to be picked by the company's actors, such as Liu Bang, Meng Tian, Li You and other main supporting roles, Zhu Yanwen, Lu Fangsheng including Zhang Yi...
Why should you give it to someone else?
Chen Xi, as the director of the artist management department, must fight for his own people...
By the way, the company is going to poach two senior executives to be responsible for artist management, after all, Chen Xi's main energy is still in the production department!
Seeing the two of them enter the door, Chen Xi took out the script: "This is the script, you two go back and study it..."
Zhang Hanyun took a look at the cover of the script: ""Myth"..."
"Yes, the TV series!"
“… So who are we playing? ”
"Lusu and Lola... Give your script, you can go back and read it..."
"I remember that "Myth" didn't have Lu Su..."
Chen Xi was speechless: "That's a movie, this is a TV series, the plot will definitely change... You want to figure out the script..."
Zhao Liying couldn't help but ask again: "Sister Chen, what is our salary?" ”
"According to the newcomer, there are more than 10,000 episodes in one episode..."
More than 10,000...
Zhao Liying is already very satisfied, you think about it, she used to be a secretary and only made a few dollars a month...
……
In fact, according to the step-by-step point of view, the second-generation female star supported by Tianmei Media should be Tang Yan!
Of course, it is indeed highly praised, but except for "The Best Family", so far, the TV series she has participated in has not been broadcast...
"Falling into Innocence" (filmed and broadcast on Hunan Satellite TV), "Southern Star" (under planning), "Splendid Relationship" (under filming), by the way, there is also a "Before Dawn", which is also played by her...
The company is not ready to take the route of family dramas and period dramas of mother-in-law and daughter-in-law...
That kind of episode is not interesting.
The so-called family period dramas are dramas like "My Niangtian Xiaocao" that make people vomit blood...
To be precise: bitter love drama!
Brainless singing praises and giving, infinitely suppressing yourself...
Human nature is selfish, and there is no reason to boast of selflessness; If people want to satisfy themselves, they vigorously advocate dedication; If you wronged yourself and moved others, you can call a person with a capital letter, a qualified employee, and a successor of socialism!
If you watch more, you will find that "My Niangtian Xiaocao" is actually better, at least the ending is satisfying;
"Home Cooking", "Mother-in-law is Coming", "Silly Spring" and the like, the urge to smash the TV is there, and there are further "To Live a Good Life", "Sunflower Enters the City", which is not enough to smash the TV after watching it, you have to smash a sofa, otherwise, your brain will definitely be bruised!
Watching these episodes, don't bring them in, just have fun, otherwise there will be no cerebral hemorrhage, and the ancestors have blessed it!
The initiator of this kind of drama is "Desire": good people should buy orders without a bottom line, and bad people can be selfish, vitriol, shameless, and cheated...
Honest people should be knocked out of the bone and suck the marrow infinitely, in exchange for the bad guy can sneeze and change his heart and face and be reborn in a happy reunion...
No, Shen Xudong has the idea to write a "Love in the Courtyard", which is the culmination...
It's also a genre for the Internet - courtyard stream...
Ahem...
At least at this stage, the company's TV series must be creative and novel.
The most likable heroine of "Mythology" is, of course, Lu Su, but it was too early to go offline, and letting Tang Yan play Gao Yue is actually not in line with the company's positioning of her - TV series and dramas are not accepted by non-heroines!
But it has to be personal, Chen Hao is filming "Drunk Gold Fans" - another masterpiece of Zhang Hatshui.
Zeng Li was free, but her age was a little embarrassing, so she simply arranged for Tang Yan to join the group and chose Gao Yue.
……
""Soldier Assault" will be broadcast the day after tomorrow, don't forget to promote it!"
"Roger!"
“… How are you in the United States? ”
"I'm not in the United States, I'm in Canada!"
Shen Xudong received a call from Gao Fenfen and was resting in the hotel...
A hotel near the set of Juno.
"Juno" was originally intended to be filmed in Los Angeles, but producer Joseph Drake suggested going to Vancouver because of the 40% tax refund...
And then he came!
Joseph Drake is worthy of being a well-known producer, the team was completed in half a month, and "Juno" is already being filmed, and it is progressing smoothly.
Shen Xudong wanted to hand over "The Fault in the Stars" to him and shoot it together...
Oh, Shen Xudong set up Xudong Film Studio by himself, and the play "Juno" is attached to the studio.
Subsequent distribution went to Joseph Drake's Mirage Film Company, a newly formed independent film distribution company.
Anyway, "Juno", including "The Fault in the Stars", did not expect the interest of major film distributors.
Gao Fenfen on the other end of the phone hurriedly asked, "What, why did you go to Canada?" ”
“… The shooting address was changed to Canada... If you're okay, I'll have to blog. ”
Shen Xudong wanted to hang up the phone, he was really busy.
There's still someone taking a shower in the bathroom!
The independent film industry is really messy, there are really a lot of empty and beautiful good skins in Hollywood, no culture, girls who dream of stars every day...
In terms of volume, "Juno" is an out-and-out B-grade film!
Shen Xudong's original idea, this kind of movie has chosen the protagonist, and there are basically no unspoken rules or anything...
Thinking too much, according to the regulations, the salary of an actor with lines is at least $400 a day, while those without lines only need $100 a day, and the difference in the middle is $300!
Don't talk about this, "Juno" has campus scenes, a bunch of school-age actresses.
And Joseph Drake directly told Shen Xudong that he could name him if he needed anything!
Shen Xudong was quite reserved at first, but later, after experiencing a self-recommendation, he got used to it.
Do as the Romans do!
Gao Fenfen on the other end of the phone didn't understand this, but went on to talk about Jackie Chan - why not continue to cooperate?
"Baby Plan" was handed over to Huayi for distribution...
Shen Xudong was helpless: "People talked to the emperor, and Huayi also has an investment in "Baby Plan"..."
"Did you write the script?"
"I'm in charge of perfecting..."
Gao Fenfen was dissatisfied: "Can't you fight for it?" "Glory of the Tang Dynasty" we earned almost 20 million... Do you know that we are in competition with the Huayi brothers? The market is so big..."
Shen Xudong was a little angry: "How do you know that I didn't fight for it?" Be careful when you talk to me, I don't know that we are in competition with Huayi? You say... Didn't I already tell Golden Harvest to do "Outwitting Tiger Mountain" together... You got the remake rights first..."
Gao Fenfen was scolded by him and choked: "I'm sorry... I'm just a little red-eyed..."
"Okay, I will promote "Soldier Assault", and the intersection with Hong Kong, don't worry about it..."The Tailor" will be released next week, you should do a good job of publicity, hang up!"
