Chapter 47: The Producer
With the participation of the three major film and television companies, the preliminary preparations for the film began to be carried out in an orderly manner.
The company has also recruited some crew members, and if they are missing, they can find secondments from China Film and Light, and since they have invested money, they will naturally have to contribute when needed.
"Mr. Gu, Producer Chen has arrived in the reception room." The assistant reminded.
"Okay, I'll be right over." Chen Zhixi, producer Chen finally has time to pay Gu Wei's appointment.
[Thai Embarrassment] has been in theaters for almost 2 months, and the box office potential has been exhausted, and the drop point is around 1.2 billion.
Gu Wei pushed open the door of the meeting room and saw Chen Zhixi sitting there.
Her long dark brown hair was combed into a braid behind her back, she was wearing a professional outfit, her face was slightly longer, and her whole person revealed a shrewd and capable atmosphere.
Gu Wei walked up to him in three steps and stretched out his hand with a smile on his face
"Producer Chen, I've finally looked forward to you."
Chen Zhixi stood up and shook hands with Gu Wei
"I'm sorry, Mr. Gu, you also know that I was too busy during this time, running all over the country, arranging inside and out. As soon as you are free, hurry over to take care of you. ”
"Understand and understand, Producer Chen is a noble person, and those who can work hard.
I think I saw your cooperation with director Xu Zheng [Ouchi Low Hand], and I think you will definitely be able to become popular on the road of interpretation in the future.
I didn't expect that powerful people can succeed anywhere, who would have thought that you and Mr. Xu Zheng, one became a director and the other became a producer, and they were both so successful!
It seems that God has really been kind to you, and has endowed you with wisdom and beauty. "As soon as I saw Gu Wei's sycophants, I didn't stop.
Sister Chen, who said it, was overjoyed.
A handsome guy with such a young age and status praised her, she must be happy.
"Mr. Gu is too award-winning, the movie you starred in at a young age is so successful, I believe you will soon be a rising star in the circle."
The sedan chair carried people, and the two of them praised each other when they met like this, and they soon became acquainted.
"Sister Zhixi, you should read the script of [Detective Chinatown]." The kung fu producer Chen with three sentences and two sentences has become Sister Zhixi, and Gu Wei's kung fu has made great progress.
"I read the script, and the story is very good." As soon as Chen Zhixi talked about the movie, it became official.
"I have now reached a cooperation with China Film, Wanda, and Guangguang, and they will fund the co-production of this film with my company.
Now that the big ship has been built, it's up to an excellent captain like you, Sister Zhixi, to control the rudder. ”
Gu Wei looked sincere.
Hearing the addition of China Film and other companies, Chen Zhixi hesitated and said
"Mr. Gu, you are so sincere, I will tell you the truth.
I am very satisfied with the script you provided, and I think it is a good story, and it can be well received by the audience.
The only doubt is whether you can make this movie yourself.
I'm not afraid that you will be angry, I don't have any prejudice against actors changing careers to become directors, Xu Zheng is an actor changing careers.
But you're so young now, you've only acted in one movie, and you have zero experience directing.
So before I came, I was also struggling with this matter, whether I had ever considered finding a famous director and letting others make the movie.
You can just do it yourself. Chen Zhixi expressed his concerns and gave Gu Wei a seemingly good advice.
"Sister Zhixi, I understand what you said, and I also understand your worries very well.
But I had to make this movie myself, because I wrote the script, and the story was in my head.
Only I know how to present it perfectly.
In fact, you don't have to worry too much about the director, I have invited Brother Lu Yang, the director of [Embroidered Spring Knife], to be the producer of the movie, and he will control the filming of the movie.
And I also hired a couple of experienced assistant directors to help me with the shooting. So you can rest easy when it comes to shooting.
After all, there are other companies investing in this film, and I have to reassure my partners. ”
Gu Wei explained.
Chen Zhixi listened to Gu Wei's words, and suddenly realized, 'Dare to love you like this, be a director', that's no problem.
"In that case, I have no problem and I agree to join the project."
Chen Zhixi replied.
"Great, Sister Zhixi. You can rest assured that your treatment is all the highest grade in the industry. Hopefully, our collaboration will bring a wonderful movie to the audience. The advisor said happily.
"Happy cooperation, Mr. Gu."
Chen Zhixi is a strong woman through and through when it comes to work.
After reaching an agreement with Gu Wei and signing the contract, he immediately entered the work state as a producer.
Start the pre-film preparations.
The construction of the crew, the location of the venue, the communication with China Film and other companies, and the casting of film actors, everything is carried out in an orderly manner.
Let Gu Wei relax all of a sudden.
The school has already started the winter vacation, because he is preparing to make a movie, he has already communicated with his family, and he will stay in the capital during the winter vacation, and he can only wait for the Chinese New Year to go back.
Gu Wei helps deal with the pre-preparation of the film in the company every day, although he has an excellent producer, but some things still need to be decided by himself.
"Mr. Gu, we had better determine all the roles needed for the movie before the year, and then we can start filming after we have coordinated the actors' schedules.
Do you have a favorite actor in your heart, let's find more people here to audition. Chen Zhixi asked.
"Sister Zhixi, Tang Ren, the protagonist of the film, you help me invite Wang Baoqiang, be sure to get him to agree, and you can be generous in terms of salary.
Huang Langden is looking for Chen He, the actor of Zeng Xiaoxian in [Love Apartment], and Kun Tai is looking for Xiao Yan of the 'Chopsticks Brothers'.
Arrange auditions for other roles and send audition invitations to some suitable actors in the circle. ”
Gu Wei replied. Although [Detective Chinatown] is a double protagonist, the real center of the movie is Wang Baoqiang.
is like the embarrassing series of movies, what really attracts everyone is the role played by Wang Baoqiang.
As soon as he was replaced, his reputation plummeted.
For the role of Tang Ren, Gu Wei couldn't think of anyone else in the entertainment industry who could replace Wang Baoqiang to play it. So he had to look for it.
As for the others, the original Chen He and Xiao Yan acted well, and Gu Wei didn't want to change it. Let's audition for the other actors to see the results.
"Is the heroine going to audition too?" Chen Zhixi asked. Although there are not many roles of the heroine in the movie, she is nominally the heroine of the movie.
"Normal auditions, try to schedule as close as possible." Gu Wei said.
The original heroine is Yaya, but Gu Wei is not familiar with her, at this point in time, she is now fighting with Chen scumbag, Gu Wei has no need to praise other people's girlfriends as heroines.
And the requirements of the heroine are not high, as long as she is glamorous and amorous enough - the first beauty in Chinatown.
It's close to an investment of 100 million. Produced by China Film and produced by Lu Yang, these are all golden signboards, and they still have a certain attraction to female stars in the circle.
During this time period, the heroines who can play the heroines of the movie are all Zhao Wei, Zhou Xun, and Bingbing's generation.
85 flowers are still crawling in the TV circle, only Liu Yifei can be regarded as diving into the film industry, and it is all the way downhill.
Later, Xiao Zhao, who had the strongest performance, is now even more transparent, and he is still wandering among the various supporting roles in the crew.
