Chapter 49: Master of Fate, Daji in the entertainment industry
The plate of "The Wandering Earth" is very large, and he can't eat it with just two people on the weekend and Yang Sisi, since the two of them eat meat, he doesn't mind sharing some soup with others.
The same is true for actors, it is impossible to keep everyone out of the weekend, otherwise they will not even be able to put together the cast with their current resources.
So Meng Yueyue wanted to ask herself for a role, and she didn't refuse on the weekend.
He wanted to send a signal to the circle through Meng Yueyue that he was not a stingy person on weekends, and he was willing to give a role to Meng Yueyue, a person from a hostile company, not to mention others.
Making a movie is not just about burying your head in the film, but also about the world.
It's just that Meng Yueyue couldn't think of this layer at all when she saw the information about the weekend.
She looked at the message on her phone and stayed for a long time before she finally gritted her teeth and replied to a message.
"Teacher Zhou, are you free tonight?"
Obviously, the prankish reply on the weekend made Meng Yueyue completely misunderstood.
……
"You seem to have information, don't you look at it?"
When I received Meng Yueyue's reply over the weekend, I was having dinner with Yang Sisi.
"I'll see after dinner."
Weekend smiled and ignored Meng Yueyue's news.
"It's not a good thing to laugh so badly."
Yang Sisi frowned and glanced at the weekend, and said angrily.
"Ahem! Don't think about it, do you think I'm like the kind of person who does bad things? The old man's face was red on the weekend, and the woman's sixth sense was really keen, so he quickly diverted the topic: "By the way, this is the list of the main actors of the Wandering Earth, you can talk about them one by one according to this list." ”
The weekend and Yang Sisi have already divided the labor, and the work of building the crew is handed over to Yang Sisi, and the weekend is responsible for the live studio.
Judging from the level of film and television production in the mainland on weekends, it is basically impossible to produce the studios that you want on weekends alone, and you still need foreign aid.
Although the film industry on Hong Kong Island is almost dead now, there are still some very high-level production companies, and I plan to go to Hong Kong Island in person this weekend.
"Are these actors a little older, do you want to find a few young people?"
Yang Sisi glanced at the list of actors and said with some embarrassment.
Weekend turned his head to look at Yang Sisi and smiled knowingly.
He knew what Yang Sisi meant, because he felt that although the actors on the list were all old actors, they were not popular, so he wanted to find a few small fresh meats to attract traffic.
At this stage of superstitious traffic in the entertainment industry, there have also appeared on the earth, but later it turned out that traffic cannot drive the box office.
Blue Star's entertainment industry is now in an era of crazy superstition about traffic, whether it is a movie or a TV series, they like to use traffic star Xiao Xianrou as the starring role.
But I knew in my heart on the weekend that traffic stars couldn't support the box office at all, and it was okay to use one or two as supporting roles, but the main roles could never be used.
He doesn't want his wandering earth to become a flowing earth when the time comes.
"You remember, our budget is not very high, so good steel can't be used on the handle, it has to be used on the edge."
"Instead of spending my budget on traffic stars, I might as well make a few more realistic props."
"In terms of salary, if we can keep it as low as possible, we will try to keep it as low as possible, and we will compensate everyone after the box office harvest."
On the weekend, he resolutely rejected Yang Sisi's proposal to use traffic stars, and even wanted Yang Sisi to keep the actor's salary as low as possible.
"Is that good? If the salary is too low, I'm afraid they won't come to the show! ”
Yang Sisi was a little worried, on the weekend, he wanted the horses to run again, and he didn't want to give the horses grass.
How can there be such a good thing in the world?
"In this way, in terms of film remuneration, I will let Guo Fan accompany you, he has talent in this area, I believe he will be able to handle this matter well."
After thinking about it on the weekend, he came up with an idea for Yang Sisi to ask Guo Fan to negotiate with others.
"Really? Director Guo still has this talent? How did I not know? ”
Yang Sisi looked at the weekend suspiciously, not very confident.
"Trust me, he'll do it."
Zhou Zhou nodded affirmatively, others don't know, but he is very aware of Guo Fan's ability in this regard.
After all, on the earth, Guo Fan has nicknames such as Daji in the entertainment industry, Master of Huayuan, etc.
When it comes to the ability to gather wool, he has absolute confidence in Guo Fan on the weekend.
He clearly remembered that Guo Fan on Earth in his previous life, when filming the movie The Wandering Earth, he encountered the problem of insufficient funds many times.
One of the most talked about interesting things is that the starring Wu Jing actually didn't plan to act, because he had already transformed into a director at that time.
In the case that Wu Jing was reluctant to act, Guo Fan was stunned to move Wu Jing to participate in the performance with his three-inch incorruptible tongue, and he participated in the performance with zero pay.
You must know that at that time, Wu Jing was already the holder of the highest box office record in the history of Chinese films at that time, and it can be said that he was the most appealing director and actor in China at that time.
Having him participate in the show is equivalent to adding a bumper to the box office of the movie, and letting him star in the movie with zero pay is already something that has shocked many people's jaws.
But that's not the point, the point is that by the time the movie is halfway through, the crew's funds have already been spent, and if you want to finish the film, you have to have a large amount of money to inject it.
At this time, Guo Fan found Wu Jing again, and shamelessly wanted Wu Jing to make a move and fill in the big hole in the funds.
It is estimated that Wu Jing was stupid at that time, and he originally promised to make a cameo, but he didn't expect to become a starring actor later, and he was also a volunteer, a leading actor with no salary, and finally became an investor.
Although Wu Jing wanted to scold people very much, he still couldn't resist Guo Fan's flickering, and finally took out 60 million out of his own pocket and filled in the hole, so that the movie could be successfully filmed.
Of course, in the end, Wu Jing not only did not suffer a loss, but also made a lot of money because of the box office reputation of The Wandering Earth.
It was after this incident that Guo Fan had the nicknames of Master Fool and Master of Transformation.
"Okay, then I'll discuss it with Director Guo later."
Yang Sisi saw that she was so confident in Guo Fan on the weekend, so she could only nod her head and agree, anyway, she could leave things to Guo Fan to do at that time, if something went wrong, she could only blame herself for seeing the wrong person on the weekend.
After eating, Zhou Zhou and Yang Sisi went separately to go about their own affairs.
At the same time, I came to a star-rated hotel on the weekend and directly sent the hotel address and room number to Meng Yueyue.
Didn't say anything, but it seems that there is already everything.
