Chapter 305: Li Dadao is different
There are several filming locations for "Night Banquet", and the exterior part even went to Western Xinjiang to shoot, which can be said to be painstaking, and Feng Xiaogang is ambitious.
The court drama was mainly in a large studio in Yanjing, just over there in Xiaotangshan.
Li Shengyao agreed to make a cameo appearance as a small steel cannon.
When he had time on this day, he went to the filming set of "Night Banquet", intending to fulfill his previous promise.
When Li Shengyao arrived, the main characters in "Night Banquet" in his memory were there.
Including Zhou Xun, Zhang Ziyi, Xiao Mingge, as well as Yanzu and Ge You.
Naturally, the small steel cannon is also there.
At this time, a scene in the palace was being filmed, and the surroundings were very quiet.
The small steel cannon was being filmed, and Li Shengyao asked the assistant director not to disturb everyone, he just sat down first.
"Bang!"
Just when the actors were performing in earnest, a field worker accidentally knocked over a water bottle.
The water bottle was a plastic bottle, the lid was tightened, and no water was spilled, but there was a noise sounding.
Everyone looked over.
The actors' faces are not very good, and their faces are expressionless.
"What's going on, be careful, it's hard to get into the state, what are you doing here?"
The little steel cannon shouted with a loudspeaker.
He was wearing a sun hat, but he could tell that his face was very bad and his eyes were gloomy.
The little steel cannon is nervous.
Although the filming of "Riding Alone for a Thousand Miles" has not yet been completed, Zhang Weiping's big mouth has already revealed the news, saying that Lao Mouzi's next drama is also a palace drama.
And Lao Mouzi wants to play big this time, not only to invite Zhou Runfang, but also to invite Gong Li.
When Xiao Gangcang heard the news, he was first angry that Lao Mouzi deliberately targeted him, and then worried that "Night Banquet" could not compare to the other party's movie, and then the audience would think that he could not compare to Lao Mouzi.
Although in terms of literary films, Xiao Gangpao is dozens of streets away from Lao Mouzi.
But compared with commercial movies, Xiao Gangcang is not convinced, he thinks that "Hero" and "Ambush" are good at the box office because there are so many big names.
If he wants to make a blockbuster, he will not be worse than Lao Mouzi.
But even if he thinks so in his heart, deep down, he can't help but worry.
is reflected on the set, that is, he is extremely strict, even for the actors, he is very strict.
Since it was interrupted, it was definitely necessary to re-touch up the makeup and shoot again.
Feng Xiaogang was tired of putting down the loudspeaker, still a little angry, and turned his head to tell the assistant director to take care of these field workers.
The assistant director didn't dare to refute, wiped his sweat, and left in a hurry.
At this time, the assistant went over and reminded Feng Xiaogang that Li Shengyao was here.
Feng Xiaogang was stunned for a moment when he heard this, then took off his sun hat, put on a smile, turned around and walked over quickly, "Director Li, you are really righteous, chivalrous, you won't run away if you promise something, you put it in ancient times, that is a great chivalrous man." ”
Li Shengyao shook hands with Xiao Gang Pao and said with a smile: "Director Feng, what is polite to me, if you help me, I will definitely help you." ”
Feng Xiaogang breathed a sigh of relief when he heard this.
He raised his eyes to look at Li Shengyao, and felt more and more that Li Dadao was handsome.
After the New Year, the biggest news was that "Beyond Hell" was sold to the beautiful country, and then broadcast on Fox TV, and it was said that the ratings were good and the response was excellent.
This made the entire China Entertainment film and television industry very vibrating.
In addition to "Crouching Tiger, Hidden Dragon" and "Hero", another Chinese entertainment film and television drama has gained a good reputation in the beautiful country.
And people don't rely on drama, they are modern dramas, which is even more rare.
The second is the establishment of Fenghua video.
After this video website was officially launched, it was directly sealed.
It is said that there were 100 million visitors on the first day.
And the video can also leave a message, fast forward and backward, as well as like, and step on, which makes netizens feel very novel and like it very much.
For people in the film and television industry, the biggest impression is after the official launch of Fenghua Video.
The trailer for "Punch, Dad" hung on the front page of the front page for a day, and it is said that the total number of views in a day was 2 million, with a total of more than 10,000 comments and more than 50,000 likes.
What the hell.
The ad worked so well.
In the past, the promotion of blockbusters was mainly TV variety shows, as well as posters on theater billboards, and advertisements in traditional media.
Regarding the publicity on the Internet, it is in each player, or like a slag wave, the entertainment section of the arc, and there will be some small videos when you click in.
Although the slag wave and arc search traffic are good, the target users are not as clear as the video website.
This netizen who watched "Punch, Dad" on Fenghua Video obviously likes film and television dramas more than Zhalang Arc users, and is more likely to go to the theater to support the movie.
As soon as the news came out, the filmmaker of "Wuji" uploaded the trailer and trailer on Fenghua Video that night, and then promoted it on the front page.
hung for a day, 20,000 yuan.
Twenty thousand a day only, they can hang for months.
"Wuji" has already spent hundreds of millions, how can he care about this little money, but Fenghua Video naturally won't let him play like this, not only "Wuji" will follow, but also "The Great Sage of Love", "Myth", and "If Love" are all advertised.
People in the entertainment industry quickly realized that the traffic of this Fenghua video is so large, and the target users are everyone's favorite drama watchers, not only can advertise movies, but also TV series.
Many TV series have begun to show trailers online.
After Fenghua Video was launched, what earned the most was not those advertising fees, but the activity fees given by the film and television drama producers.
Xiao Gangcang knew about this, and there was a feeling that the years were changing, and things were wrong.
He was even a little afraid, not because he was incapable, but because he was afraid that he would not be able to keep up with the times.
It's really fast.
Who knew that there would be a video website on the Internet, who knew that this thing could still leave comments, likes, and step on.
However, in the end, he is a person who has seen the changes, and he actively adjusts his mentality, intending to seriously adapt to this era.
At this time, when I saw Li Dadao, I had a state of mind that seemed to be in a different world.
He didn't care much about Director Li at the beginning, he felt that Li Shengyao should be in the film industry for a few years before he could gradually gain a firm foothold.
But now people have become theater owners and own dozens of cinemas.
Became the owner of a video website and mastered the publicity channels.
Director Li Dadao's first movie has not yet been released, and he has an extraordinary status in the film industry.
Don't say it's him, Lao Mouzi has to be three points lower when he comes over.
Fortunately, although Director Li is young, he is reliable, and he will not break his promise.
Thinking of this, Xiao Gangcang's smile was a little more eager.
"Sit down, I have a very good Longjing here, I know you like to drink tea, I specially prepared it."
Actually, a friend came to visit the class yesterday.
The little steel cannon happened to forget to take it home and just took it out.
Li Shengyao naturally didn't care about such a trivial matter, and then he went to the rest room with Xiao Gangcang.
And the actors lined up one by one to say hello.
The little steel cannon looked in his eyes and sighed in his heart.
Lee Shengyao behaved very naturally and easy-going.
He didn't know Zhang Ziyi and Zhou Xun very well, but he saw a lot with Brother Xiao Ming, and the two chatted for a while.
Feng Xiaogang said with a smile: "Xiao Ming is a capable person, he has always been more realistic. ”
In addition to Brother Xiaoming's consistent good popularity, another point is that "Extreme Escape" has been established, and the news that Director Li is looking for the hero and heroine has spread.
Zhang Ziyi didn't have time next.
Zhou Xun does not conform to the hostess's design, and there is no need for the two of them to slap Li Shengyao too much at this time.
But Brother Xiao Ming really wanted Director Li to take a fancy to him and chose him as the male number one.
Li Shengyao naturally knew it, but he didn't let go, the male number one in "Extreme Escape" is a Luther, Brother Xiao Ming is too handsome, and he is not very suitable.
Li Shengyao chatted with Feng Xiaogang for a while, and then proposed to make a cameo now.
Xiao Gangcang naturally agreed, and immediately arranged for the assistant director set designer to prepare, and then asked the makeup artist to put makeup on Li Shengyao.
He was going to play a palace guard general, and he was about to come out, but he glared at Brother Xiao Ming, and he was scared back.
The plot is simple and there are very few scenes.
I did it twice, but it was done in just 20 minutes.
"Bang bang bang!"
There was warm applause on the set of "Night Banquet", and the big guy seemed to have seen a wonderful performance.
Brother Xiao Ming stepped forward and hugged Li Shengyao.
Feng Xiaogang clapped his hands and said: "Director Li, it's really good, I knew that you acted so well, I should have asked you to be the male number one in the first place, you have all the acting skills of this body, and you must be the mainland version of Tom Cruise when you are an actor." ”
Although Brother Tom is not tall, he is really handsome, and his wife is also beautiful.
Li Shengyao reluctantly accepted this evaluation, and after removing his makeup, everyone burst into applause.
"You're welcome, you guys go on filming, I'll sit here."
I'm sure I'll have a meal with the little steel cannon later, and it'll be lunch time in another hour.
Feng Xiaogang then continued filming, while Li Shengyao watched quietly.
The set of "Night Banquet" quickly calmed down, and the passing field workers and actors would show sincere respectful smiles to Li Shengyao.
Next to him were grapes and bananas, which were full of fragrance, unpeeled, and had a sweet and greasy aroma.
Longjing tea is also delicious, the entrance is fragrant and sweet, Feng Xiaogang arranged a person to close the door and pour hot tea for Li Shengyao.
The tea was warm and there was a faint mist wafting up, but a breeze would dissipate the mist.
Li Shengyao saw it in his eyes, and he was also secretly vigilant.
He knows very well that whether it is Feng Xiaogang or the actors, it is because he is the owner of the theater and the owner of the video website that he respects him.
They don't recognize Lee Shengyao's strength as a director.
In the movie, he still needs to prove himself.
The higher you stand, the more you have to look down at the road.
Once "Punch, Dad" doesn't work, then I don't know how many people will cater to it on the surface and laugh at it secretly.
Naturally, Lee doesn't need to care about other people's opinions.
But he has requirements for himself, and since he has done it, he will do it to the best.
Whether it's "Punch, Dad" or the next "Extreme Escape", he wants to be perfect.
Make commercial films first, get a good box office, and establish a reputation in the film industry.
and then try to rush for the award, since he has traveled once, he naturally has to make some contributions to Chinese movies.
After 2015 in his previous life, because of various problems, Huaying won fewer and fewer awards around the world, but on the contrary, Korean films gradually caught up.
Originally, in terms of awards and honors, Han Ying couldn't even see the taillights of Huaying's car, but when it came to Li Shengyao's crossing, Han Ying had a lot of honors.
Some Korean fans began to belittle Huaying.
Although Han Ying quickly lost all his pants, only six movies were profitable in 22 years, and only one movie was profitable in the first half of 23.
But Lee still wants to beat it down.
In addition, when it comes to Asian film honors, the island nation deserves the first place.
Since Li Shengyao is here, he has to chase after him, he hopes that when he retires, the honor of Chinese films will be able to overtake the island country and become the first in Asia.
The mind turns, and time naturally flies.
An hour passed quickly, and Xiao Gangcang announced that he would rest from work, and then pulled Li Shengyao, saying that he wanted to invite Li Dadao to eat some special food.
Soon after, they arrived at a nearby Tohoku Hotel.
"This restaurant is not very famous, but his food here is really good, Director Li tried it."
"Okay."
Li Shengyao, Xiao Gangcang, and the main actors had just sat down when they saw Wang Zhonglei hurrying over.
"Director Li, thank you very much, what Xiaogang said is not wrong, you are really a righteous person, and it is comfortable and happy to associate with you."
Li Shengyao smiled and nodded.
Wang Zhonglei was still a little sweaty on his forehead, his face was a little red, and he was a little wheezing when he spoke, he should have hurried over just now.
This guy can't just be there to have a meal with him, there must be other purposes.
"Director Li, the food hasn't been served yet, let's go to the side to talk."
Li Shengyao nodded, and then he and Wang Zhonglei came to the room next to the box.
Wang Zhonglei walked in front, like a little brother leading the way.
After Li Shengyao entered the house, he sat down, and Wang Zhonglei returned to him and gently closed the door.
Only then did he pull a chair and sit in front of Li Shengyao, "Director Li, this time your Fenghua video is really in the limelight." ”
Xiao Wang spoke, his eyes full of envy.
In Li Shengyao's previous life, after Tudou was created, he did not buy a large number of film and television dramas, Tudou and YouTube are a concept, that is, a platform for ordinary people to upload and broadcast videos.
In this case, the initial development of potatoes has not been valued by the film and television industry.
Later, Youku was established and purchased a large number of film and television dramas, and the number of visits exceeded 100 million in 07 years, which attracted the attention of the film and television industry.
Youku has several consecutive rounds of investment, and it was obviously established a year after Tudou, but it was listed earlier and the listing value was higher.
The people's desire to express themselves at this time is not as strong as it was more than ten years later.
The vast majority of people want to enter video websites to watch film and television dramas, which is the benefit of buying a large number of film and television dramas.
Fenghua can click more than 100 million on the first day, thanks to the purchase of a large number of classic film and television dramas.
When Li Shengyao heard this, he smiled noncommittally, "It's okay, I did a lot of preparation work in the early stage." ”
Seeing this, Wang Zhonglei thought about it, and still said in a low voice: "Director Li, does Fenghua Video accept other funds to invest in shares now?" ”
Whether it is Tudou or Youku, there was no capital in the initial period, and after several rounds of financing, it persisted until it went public.
However, Li Shengyao doesn't need it, now film and television dramas are relatively cheap in terms of buying and selling, and production, and he has no financial pressure for the time being.
"Mr. Wang, there is no such demand at present."
"Well, it's fine." Wang Zhonglei held the corners of his mouth, nodded with a forced smile, "Director Li, if Fenghua Video needs financing in the future, don't forget our Huayi, we are on call with sincerity and funds." ”
"Okay, I know."
Wang Zhonglei continued: "We have a lot of movies and TV series in Huayi, and Director Li should take care of it." ”
"It's a trifle."
In business, if you give money, you will give advertising space.
Not long after, Li Shengyao and Wang Zhonglei returned to the previous box, and then worked with Feng Xiaogang and had a good meal.
This Northeast-style dish is truly unique, salty and sweet.
Li Shengyao has always been more heavy on taste and likes spicy food, but he likes such dishes very much.
After a full meal, Li Shengyao, Feng Xiaogang, and Wang Zhonglei said goodbye, but as soon as they left the door of the hotel, they met a group of reporters.
Li Shengyao stayed for a few minutes.
"I'm here this time to make a cameo role, and by the way, promote "Punch, Dad"."
"Where is the publicity?"
"If you interview me, I won't just publicize it."
He then left.
The reporters found Xiao Gang Cannon soon after, "Director Li's "Punch, Dad" is very good, I was very optimistic about this movie when I made a cameo, I think this movie will surprise everyone." ”
Wang Zhonglei stood aside, secretly despising the little steel cannon in his heart, and he was used to slapping sycophants.
The reporters turned the microphone to him, and he immediately said: "I'm also very optimistic about "Punch, Dad", that trailer will make people's blood boil, and everyone must go to the cinema to support it when the time comes." ”
