"The first police flower in China joined "Punch, Dad".

"Li Youbin: I was going to rest, but the script is so good, I want to act."

"Zhu Bingbing: Director Li, I can play the second female lead."

"Wang Zhonglei: Huayi is looking forward to cooperation with Fenghua and hopes to develop together."

"With an investment of 50 million, it takes 150 million to recover the cost, and Li Dadao is walking a tightrope."

"Except for the 2,000-year-old "Life and Death Choice", there are no modern films that have exceeded 100 million yuan in the mainland."

"Li Shengyao: The road is out, I think not only costume blockbusters, but also movies with modern themes can be successful."

"Zhang Xiyan, the prototype of "Punch, Dad", she is a representative of women in the new era."

……

Under the active hype of Li Shengyao, "Punch, Dad" is very popular on the Internet, and many posts are discussing this movie that has not yet started shooting.

However, Hua Yi wants to cooperate with him, and Zhu Bingbing wants to play the second female lead, not because Li Shengyao is hyped, but because it is true.

In fact, not only Zhu Bingbing, many actresses have expressed their hope to play the second female lead.

Even Lin Xinru's agent came over to ask if it was possible.

Li Shengyao naturally refused, Lin Xinru Bingbing is too beautiful and easy to play.

As for Huayi, what they want to cooperate with is not a movie, but a TV series, and they refuse the same.

Fenghua has set more than 60 actresses, who will audition in five days, and Lee Shengyao will determine the final candidate at that time.

He thinks as soon as possible, but he needs to give these people some time to prepare, let them practice boxing, and then see who can fight well and see who is qualified.

Just when Li Shengyao was looking forward to it, he received an invitation to a banquet, but it was sent by Orange Sky, saying that Orange Sky would register in the mainland and hold a small celebration in advance.

Orange Sky also said that Han Sanping, as well as Huayi's Wang Zhonglei, as well as Wang Changtian, and Yu Dong will all go over.

Sounds like a big guy party.

Li Shengyao naturally will not refuse, he is about to set up his own theater chain, and there will be a lot of dealings with these people in the future, so there is no need to avoid them.

So Li Shengyao took Chen Hao over.

In the VIP box of the China World Summit Wing, Li Shengyao met Han Sanping, Wang Zhonglei, as well as Wang Changtian, Yu Dong, and Wu Kebo.

Except for Han Sanping, everyone else brought female companions, all of whom were actresses, and the person brought by Han Sanping was Chen Kun.

Chen Kun did follow China Film in the early days, and the resources were very good.

The bigwigs sit together, and the actors sit together.

When they were full, the people on both sides parted, and the actors sat on the sofa by the window and chatted.

The bigwigs came to a coffee table and sat in a small circle.

Next to Han Sanping sat Wang Zhonglei, and Li Shengyao sat opposite Han Sanping.

"Director Li, your movie has become famous, and many people are discussing it."

Wang Zhonglei said while pouring tea for the bigwigs, he is very good at being a man.

Li Shengyao smiled, took the teacup, and thanked him, "Where, it can't be compared with "Ambush on All Sides" and "No Thieves in the World", your movies are amazing." ”

This time, Zhang Weiping did not come.

Li Shengyao thinks it's normal, Zhang Weiping is actually a fox and a fake tiger, all relying on the old man.

Although they have a film and television company, that is, a new picture film and television company, they have no capital investment and no theater chain of their own.

It's not comparable to other bigwigs.

When Wang Zhonglei heard this, he smiled and shook his head, but there was still pride in his eyes.

After several years of development and hard work, Xiaogang Cannon has formed a brand, and Huayi has benefited greatly.

They don't need hype, mainland audiences will pay attention to Xiao Gangcang's movies.

"Kung Fu" is set for mid-December, and "No Thieves in the World" is set for the end of December.

The schedule of "No Thieves in the World" is even better than "Kung Fu", and they have great expectations for this movie.

"Director Li, it's really amazing that you chose people, Li Youbin is an old drama bone, and Lei Min is a well-known overlord flower, so you want to win the award?"

Many people think that Li Shengyao is so strict in his selection that he should want to win the award.

Li Shengyao shook his head, ""Punch, Dad" is a commercial movie, where can I win the award?"

When the other people heard this, their eyes flickered a little.

You don't use Zhao Yanzi for commercial films, commercial movies don't look for an actor in the film industry, but Li Youbin, it seems that he is still too young, thinking that the TV series can be played in the film industry.

Han Sanping thought of her previous promise to invest in Lee Shengyao's film, and couldn't help but regret it a little, it was too early to say this.

"Director Li, to make a movie, you still have to find some actors that young people like to watch, after all, movies are not TV series, the main consumer force is not housewives and students, and the people who watch movies are urban white-collar workers."

He secretly reminded Li Shengyao that Li Youbin is not very good in the film industry, that is, he is a TV drama actor.

As for Lei Min, it is even more inappropriate.

Li Shengyao nodded when he heard this, "I understand what Director Han means, but I still want to give it a try, so let's just study." ”

Wang Changtian, Wang Zhonglei, and Yu Dong were all laughing secretly.

However, they still persuaded Li Shengyao to think about it again with the attitude of a person who had come over.

"It's okay, I'm going to shoot like this, try it first."

Hehe, I don't know what to do.

A few people laughed secretly in their hearts, so they didn't say anything more.

Han Sanping had a promise, and said at this time: "Director Li, what is your total investment in this movie?"

"Fifty million."

"Well, then China Film will invest 5 million."

Previously, China Film invested in "Wuji" and invested tens of millions, and when it came to Li Shengyao, he invested 5 million.

Obviously not optimistic about "Punch, Dad".

Li Shengyao smiled and nodded, "Okay, thank you Director Han." ”

Wang Zhonglei and several people did not answer, they were not very optimistic about "Punch, Dad", and felt that it was impossible for this movie to return to its original cost, and investing money was losing money.

Li Shengyao didn't care.

At this time, Wu Kebo's small eyes flashed, and he said: "Director Li, I have always been very optimistic about you, why don't you let Orange Tianshen share, how about we invest 10 million in Orange Tian?"

Orange Sky now has a lot of money and has nowhere to spend it, they invest everywhere, TV series and movies are attacking everywhere, which can be said to be the big hose of China Entertainment.

However, Li Shengyao didn't want Orange Sky to enter the game.

He believes that as long as "Punch, Dad" is filmed well, it will not lose money.

And now China Film only invests 5 million, and Orange Sky invests 10 million, and people who don't know think that he is tied to Orange Sky.

It was something he never wanted to see.

"Mr. Wu, I'm afraid this is a little difficult, Director Han's side, in fact, there has been an agreement a long time ago, Fenghua will give up part of the investment amount, in fact, the follow-up funds have all been in place, and we don't need more investment."

In order to buy a house, Fenghua has borrowed 600 million yuan from several major banks in the mainland, and now they have bought a total of 33 properties in first-tier cities in China.

Li Shengyao is very satisfied with Wu Wenhui's work, and he has told Wu Wenhui to slow down the progress of buying a house, and their future development is to purchase the most advanced projection equipment and the decoration of the cinema.

This part costs a lot of money.

Fenghua: The funds here are actually quite tight.

However, Li Shengyao is confident, so there is no need to find other people to invest.

Zhongying only came out with five million, and Li Shengyao was even happier, so as not to get more people to share the profits.

When Wu Kebo heard this, he shook his head and said: "Director Li, you are out of sight, we really want to make a contribution to the development of the film industry in the mainland, and if you need to invest, just say it, don't treat us as outsiders." ”

Li Shengyao smiled secretly in his heart, "This time there is really no need, Mr. Wu, I will have a chance to talk again in the future." ”

"Okay, Director Li, my words will always be valid, as long as it is your movie, anytime, anywhere, how much it costs, Orange Sky will vote."

When several other people heard this, they all looked at Wu Kebo in surprise.

They weren't sure if Wu Kebo was really optimistic about Li Shengyao, or if the relationship between the two was deeper than the big guy imagined.

Wu Kebo continued: "We have made an agreement with Fenghua that Director Li's first film will be released on Hong Kong Island, and then Golden Harvest's cinema chain will give 30% of the films. ”

Orange Sky has not completely acquired Golden Harvest at this time, but it is already the largest shareholder of Golden Harvest, and they still have this ability.

Han Sanping and the others heard Wu Kebo's words, and looked at Li Shengyao's gaze, which was a little more complicated.

They are all old foxes, so they naturally know the details of the orange sky.

Orange Sky is a big water pipe, with money, it can pit a pit.

But the big guys won't get too close to Orange Sky.

And now that Fenghua is so close to Orange Sky, it is obvious that Li Shengyao is too young, and this political consciousness is still a little worse.

Wang Zhonglei and Wang Changtian secretly commented on Li Shengyao.

Li Shengyao probably understood what Wu Kebo meant, this guy wanted to pretend to be a brother with him, so that outsiders could misunderstand his relationship with Orange Sky.

After all, several other big companies don't care about Orange Sky now, and he always has to find a partner for himself who looks reliable.

so as not to appear isolated by internal entertainment.

"Thank you Mr. Wu for this matter, I just don't know if there will be this treatment in the future, Mr. Wu, you have to help with my later movies."

Saying this, a few old foxes quickly understood that Fenghua and Orange Sky had a deal before, and this time they got such a treatment, whether there is a back or not, it depends on whether there is a transaction in the future.

In other words, their relationship is not deep, that is, the relationship of interests.

When Wu Kebo heard this, he couldn't help but look up at Li Shengyao.

Although Li Dadao is young, he is not a rookie, everyone understands these people's sophistication, how to say it, it is also very clear.

It's hard.

I thought I could pull Fenghua, but now the big guys know it, and Orange Sky doesn't have any friends in the mainland.

Han Sanping smiled, then raised the teacup and proposed that everyone touch a cup.

A group of people replaced wine with tea and touched a cup.

Han Sanping continued: "Director Li, the actor in your movie has been chosen, what about the second male lead?" ”

The second male lead in "Punch, Dad" is the nephew of the male protagonist, and this movie is told in the tone of this nephew.

There aren't many appearances, five or six minutes of play.

This role is not important.

"The male number two has not been selected yet, and the character is a young man, in his early twenties."

Han Sanping nodded, and then pointed to Chen Kun, who was chatting with several actresses not far away, "Do you think he can do it?" ”

"Of course you can, but Chen Kun is a first-line star, do you want to play a supporting role?"

It's impossible for Han Sanping to say anything, even if Chen Kun is qualified for this role, he can still bring traffic and bring a lot of benefits to the movie.

But that's how to communicate with people, don't talk too well, otherwise others will think that you have no bottom line, and your requirements will become more and more excessive.

"Hey, where is the A-list star, that is, in the TV drama circle, I watch the news and think your movie is good, why don't you let him try it."

only invested five million, and I am not optimistic about the box office of "Punch, Dad" at all.

However, Li Shengyao is so attentive to preparation, Han Sanping is optimistic about the reputation of this movie, and plans to arrange for Chen Kun to brush up the impression score.

Showing your face in a good movie is much more profitable than playing the leading actor in a bad movie.

is like the later "Let the Bullets Fly", those unimportant supporting roles, the entire Huayu male stars vibrated and went to audition one after another.

Li Shengyao understood Han Sanping's thoughts, and paused slightly, "I can let Chen Kun act, but when I get to my set, everything has to listen to me, and he needs to set aside time to act, don't stop running around, it will take ten days and half a month to finish the performance in one go." ”

The actors went to other places to play, but Li Shengyao couldn't control it.

But his work will not allow the actors to play this today, and leave tomorrow to play another play.

Chen Kun is popular now, and there are constant TV series appointments, so it is not easy to set aside time.

Han Sanping thought for a while and nodded, "No problem, let him prepare for half a month to act in your movie when the time comes." ”

He then called Chen Kun over and introduced him to Li Shengyao.

Li Shengyao and Chen Kun have known each other for a long time and have chatted, but they are all kind words, Chen Kun is very respectful at this time, like a shy big boy.

When the others saw it, their eyes lit up a little, and Wang Changtian took the lead and said, "Director Li, do you have any requirements for that female number two?"

"Yes, if you want to be young and have good skills, you must be the same as the female lead, and you must train for two months."

"There is a young actress in our company, who is particularly hard-working, obedient, and has good acting skills, do you want to try it?"

Li Shengyao smiled, "I will give them a chance to audition in five days, if Mr. Wang's people can come, I will definitely take a good look." ”

At most, you will be given a chance to audition, and if you want to be determined, that is impossible.

Chen Kun: That's not important.

The female number two must be good-looking, not too beautiful.

Li Shengyao couldn't believe the eyes of a few bigwigs.

Wang Zhonglei and the others heard Li Shengyao's words, understood what he meant, and secretly laughed in their hearts that Wang Changtian had thought things simpler.

"Director Li, I also have someone here, let her try it."

"Director Li, me too, there is a suitable person."

Although I'm not sure if it will work, but there is no cost for auditions, what if my actor is really suitable?

That's not earned.

Seeing that Wang Zhonglei and Yu Dong were both recommending their own people, Han Sanping was a little moved, and then introduced an artist from China Film.

Li Shengyao naturally accepted all the orders, and he had to audition anyway, so let's see the final result.
