Chapter 40: "Star You" casting

A trip to Cannes is not interesting, mainly there is no sense of participation!

The media focused on the main competition unit, or the Hollywood blockbusters that came to promote, and Chinese films did not gain much sound...

Even "Red Cliff"...

Everyone still doesn't dare to spend money!

The striking positions around the Palais du Cinema have been preempted by Hollywood posters...

Each poster, two weeks, the price ranges from 5~100,000 euros!

Except for Hollywood, which has deep pockets, few filmmakers from other countries and regions are willing to invest so much...

In addition to holding a cocktail party, there is also a rental film festival booth, and by the way, advertising in the venue book, just like this, it has invested nearly 1.3 million euros!

Plus accommodation, meals, transportation...

Therefore, before the closing ceremony, Shen Xudong led a group of people back to China!

Award-winning films... The award-winning films in Cannes do not meet the tastes of most mainland audiences. According to Shen Xudong's meaning, there is no need to stay and buy any copyrights...

However, Chen Xi made a special call to ask for the online copyright of the award-winning film to be packaged.

She is ready to buy it back, and then PPTV will be launched exclusively.

It can be regarded as helping to pull users!

So, a couple of people were left, and the offer was definitely low ...

The budget is 300,000 US dollars, and at least 6 plays must be bought.

Do the math yourself.

Nowadays, the regulatory level of online video is still relatively loose, otherwise, "Mao Liar" and "Spicy Next Door" would not have come out at all!

……

In China, the earthquake is still the focus of all media attention and the hot spot of public opinion.

In the entertainment industry, after several waves of donation ceremonies, everyone's attention has returned to daily life...

After all, it's about eating!

Recently, many people in the circle have been paying attention to two things, one is the change of director of "Dream of Red Mansions", which has caused a lot of uproar.

It is said that Director Hu Mei didn't even have the right to cast and make a decision, so she left the guide tube, and then Director Li Shaohong replaced her as the chief director of "Dream of Red Mansions"...

Eh, sometimes think about how arrogant some of our directors are!

"Dream of Red Mansions"!

According to the words of director Wang Fulin: "Don't say that the director has the ability to play "Dream of Red Mansions", you will be wrong if you play it." As a director, I always want to come up with something new, but "Dream of Red Mansions" is not good, "Dream of Red Mansions" you can only honestly embody every word. ”

Oh, about the remake of "Dream of Red Mansions", a group of people are working hard!

You see, the rookie actor knows that it is his own famous work, and maybe he will soar to the sky, so he is riveting, and the old actor does not dare to slack off because he knows that he has made a famous film;

The expert advisory group, although it does not have the lineup of the 87 version of the year, the lineup is also quite strong;

Including training, I spent millions of dollars on master-level piano, chess, calligraphy and painting, etiquette classes, and line classes.

Everything is the best lineup, the best arrangement...

It's a pity that Li Shaohong is the director!

Is Li Shaohong a master of art and bold or an ignorant and fearless?

Personally, she is inclined to the latter, after all, she has not studied for a few years - only the sixth grade of primary school, and then caught up with the historical process, and then, she became a propaganda soldier, resumed the college entrance examination, and entered the directing department...

The directors of their generation often have a playful attitude towards Chinese literary stories, so she does not respect "Dream of Red Mansions"...

Remakes of four famous novels, "Dream of Red Mansions" is definitely the bottom existence!

Ahem...

One more thing, "Star You" casting!

This year is very special, TiMi has not had a special hit TV series broadcast until May...

Including the entire TV drama market, except for CCTV's New Year's drama "Breaking through the Guandong", there are no TV series works worth mentioning...

Two TV series produced by TiMi have been broadcast, namely "Burn! "Waste Firewood" also has the spy war drama "Infiltration".

Burn! "Waste Materials" is broadcast exclusively on Mango Channel, with an average rating of about 1.5 and a maximum rating of more than 3, which is very remarkable, but two dramas "Yun Niang" and "Live with a Smile" were broadcast in the same time period...

The ratings haven't done these two!

"Yun Niang" is the first bitter drama on the annual list of satellite TV ratings, and "Live with a Smile" is also a family ethics and emotional drama...

Compared with the ratings, it is indeed much weaker!

The ratings are not good, the topicality... It's okay, that is, TVB broadcast "Jewels" at the same time, and Dragon TV has introduced it simultaneously...

Ma Dan, the degree of discussion has also been preempted!

Burn! Waste Wood didn't achieve a blockbuster effect...

The number of webcasts is very high, although it is not a hit, but it is also a high-quality work!

As for "Infiltration"...

Alas, "Secret Calculation", "Before Dawn", "Latent", the spy war trilogy directly put the spy war drama produced by Tianmei on the ceiling, just like "Hunting Ground" after "Langya Bang"...

Then, "Infiltration" failed to withstand the pressure!

"Infiltration" is also known as "The Undercover Career of Waste Firewood and Money", which tells the story of Xu Zhongyi, played by Sha Yi, who lurked inside the Guo Party after being influenced by our party, using his special identity to provide strategic materials for our party troops in the northeast, and fighting wits and courage with the Guo Party agents to obtain the "infiltration plan".

The problem is that "Latent" is so awesome!

Your main story is similar to that of Insidious, but it's a lot worse in every way.

"Infiltration" is somewhat embarrassing: if there is a slight loophole in the plot, it seems that the IQ is not enough, and the actor is a little pretentious, and it seems that he can't hold the scene...

Fortunately, the ratings are okay, but there is also a drama "Youyou Inch Grass Heart" in the same period

The ratings crushed "Infiltration" from beginning to end, no way, "Youyou Inch Grass Heart" is a Madonna drama, the favorite of aunts: it tells how a remarried woman faces a ruined family, a sick mother-in-law in bed, a crazy ex-wife, a vicious sister-in-law, and a resentful child.

The heroine takes care of a large family every day, is beaten by her ex-wife who is ill, scolded by her stepson, disciplined by her mother-in-law, works hard, and because of a family fight, her own daughter fell into the river and drowned;

Later, the heroine's husband died, and she decided to support the family.

raised a large family, and added a sister-in-law, the son of the deceased husband went to college, and his son studied well but took the initiative to give up the college entrance examination.

This kind of plot is too invincible, it can't be beaten at all, it's just a female version of a stupid pillar...

In short, the 'failure' of two dramas in a row made Tianmei very faceless.

Although there is "Zhu Xian" in July, "The Legend of Ruyu" in September, and "Step by Step" to be broadcast in December, for Tianmei, which has frequently hit the scene, it is called creative exhaustion if there are no popular models for five consecutive months!

"Star You" is open casting, the producer and chief screenwriter wrote Shen Xudong, the directors are You Dazhi, Jiang Jiajun and Li Xue, and the heroine is determined to be Fan Bingbing...

The production cost is 35 million!

Public clothing sponsorships include LV, Prada, Chanel, Gucci... There is also a friendly sponsorship of Palm Springs International Residences...

Direct topping!

Open recruitment for male leads, male number two, anti-number one, female number two...

And Shen Xudong is in charge of the audition!

This kind of specification, not to mention the entire entertainment industry, at least more than half of the actors are tempted!
