Chapter 97: The heroine of "Introduction to Architecture".

Gao Meiyuan looked at him and felt that the other party was just pouring her ecstasy soup, many actresses are in their thirties and forties, and they are still young and middle-aged together, and they don't feel out of harmony.

And she's really young.

Li Jingkun saw that the other party seemed to be a little immune to this kind of talk, so he continued: "Actually, our film is planned to be filmed in two parts, that is, a double-line narrative; Then the juvenile part and the middle-aged part will alternate, and if the juvenile and middle-aged actors are the same, the audience will not appear in the ······· of what time they are watching."

Well, Gao Yuan Meiyuan finally agreed with his statement, and then confirmed that she would star.

"When will the movie start?" Gao Meiyuan said.

"At present, the preparations have just begun, and only one lead actor has been confirmed...... It will be started around October at the earliest. Li Jingkun said.

"Do the other actors have a goal?"

"There are candidates to consider, but I feel that the heroine is more important, so I wanted to determine the heroine first and then prepare others."

Gao Meiyuan smiled: "What about the young heroine?" This role is also important, who are you going to find to play it? ”

Hey, it's sad to say, isn't this rejected by others, so that now he doesn't know whether to continue to play the younger version of the male lead.

However, it is true that we have just started to restart this project, so let's think about it slowly.

That night, he announced the news in the scarf, and the new movie "Introduction to Architecture" project was officially launched, and Gao Meiyuan will play the heroine.

In fact, the film project was launched before, isn't it because the time has not come.

Now that a leading actor has been confirmed, it is regarded as an advance promotion, and at the same time it has begun to build momentum - the funds have not yet arrived, and the investors have not yet been found, so we must make some moves first.

This scarf was released, of course, his fans commented and discussed it first, and many people are fans of "Introduction to Architecture", so they are discussing whether Gao Meiyuan is suitable for this role.

"The heroine is the hero's crush in college, and she has the appearance of a school flower, Gao Meiyuan is very suitable."

"There are so many beautiful actresses, and acting skills are also very important, right?"

"Since you're going to shoot your own novel, when will you shoot "Heartless Mage"?"

"Well, in fact, I never thought Gao Meiyuan was so beautiful······ But it's not inappropriate to play this role, after all, if it were someone else to play, maybe I would think it would be even more inappropriate······"

Of course, acting skills are also important, but Gao Meiyuan has been in this industry for so many years, even if she is not the kind of actress with the best acting skills, it is more than enough to play the heroine of a modern drama.

Besides, there is Li Jingkun on top of it, if it really doesn't work, he will directly tell her what kind of expression and reaction he needs.

After the scarf was sent out, it didn't attract the attention of any investment companies in a short time, but it caused some commotion in his own circle of friends - after all, he is now a real director, a director who has officially released feature films and made money.

So as soon as he announced that he had a new film plan, many people immediately contacted him, or called or messaged, in order to ask if there was a chance to appear.

Is the female role suitable for Cai Wenwen, and the young version of the heroine is not good enough, simply put, she still needs a vase, and she wants to become Gao Meiyuan in her thirties - she is beautiful, but she has not yet reached the ranks of Gao Meiyuan.

There are a lot of male roles, and if Sun Hao and Zhang Tianyu are willing to play supporting roles, he is still willing to give them a chance.

There is no suitable for Qin Junjie, and it is likely that he will not be able to play a supporting role.

And the choice of the fiancée of the middle-aged actor was also decided during this period, looking for the 88-year-old actress Mao Bitong.

Mao Bitong has been debuting for a few years, but most of them are roles in TV series, and it just so happens that the supporting actress in "Introduction to Architecture" is suitable for her; She also wanted to try the big screen a little, so the two sides almost confirmed the intention of cooperation after contacting each other.

After all, this is just a small supporting role, there are not many scenes, and Li Jingkun doesn't have much money to hire someone with bigger names, so Mao Xiaotong is very good.

·······

After more than 20 days of release, the box office of "Youth Pie" was relatively weak, and after barely staying for a month, the final box office was 30.78 million.

It's already a big-money movie - the shooting cost is only 3 million!

Director Li Jingkun is well-known in the circle, and this time he didn't buy any press releases, and many people began to report his deeds and praised him for his talent and talent.

"Li Jingkun, who was born in '89, has a keen insight into today's young people. He's a guy of that age himself, so he knows what young people are facing, he knows what their lives are like, he understands the psychology of young people......

So from the novel "Whose Youth Walks with Me", to the short drama "The Days of Vacancy", to today's "Youth School", Li Jingkun has been observing and interpreting his youth from different perspectives......"

"Youth Pie" has already been released, and he is not a star, so he is not ready to advertise himself again, and others can write whatever they want.

However, it is obvious that his scarf fans have risen a lot, and it has reached more than 900,000.

It's not the most numerous, but we don't participate in water.

Longqi Film and Television Company also held an internal celebration banquet, after all, it is the company's first work, and of course it must be celebrated when it makes money.

The company's first work has a good result, the total box office of 3078, minus taxes, minus the theater chain, distributors, publicity fees and other parts, the share that their company can get is about 10 million, that is, almost 33% of the total box office.

However, after deducting the production cost of 3 million, as well as some additional publicity costs, the net box office income is about more than 7 million.

However, there will be other income in the future, such as they can also recover at least 3 million yuan from TV copyrights and audio-visual products; For example, you can sell the online screening rights later, etc.; So overall the income is okay.

It's a product with a very high rate of return.

And it can make Longqi Film and Television "not open for half a year, open for half a year".

Regarding Li Jingkun's new project, Huaying hopes to continue to cooperate in distribution, and the willingness to invest is not very strong. However, after looking at the shooting plan and Gao Meiyuan's joining, I still decided to invest 2 million.

The initial budget for the production fee is 14 million, and your famous Huaying company and large enterprise are only willing to take 2 million?

Okay, no matter how small the mosquito is, it's meat, and people can really support it if they can take out the money with real money.

So there's no need to be too little; Besides, this is also very good news, which releases a signal to people in the outside world: that is, his project is actually quite reliable, after all, everyone has invested in Huaying, what are you still worried about and hesitating about?

During this time, there were actually investment companies that communicated with Longqi Film and Television, but the people who were willing to pay the lion's head have not yet appeared.

It seems that it is not easy to find investors for the second movie, but it is actually normal.

Although "Youth Pie" made money, after subtracting the production cost, it didn't make a lot of money.

For many large investment companies, the benefits of a few million are really not much, but the risks are not small.

Film itself is a very risky investment industry.

Seeing that "Youth Pie" is a success, but those failures are even more.

So Huaying was only interested in distribution at the beginning.

No matter how you operate, you won't lose, and you will earn more and earn less in the later stage.
