Following.

On the phone, Chen Kexin, the director of "October Siege", hung up the phone with a promise: "Director Xu, don't worry, Liu Yifei must have a lot of scenes." ”

Aunt Liu was very happy after hearing this.

took the initiative to wait for dozens of minutes before dragging his light body, returning home, and telling Sissi the good news.

And Aunt Liu just left,

He went back to the company and took care of some things.

At present, "Military Doctor" starring Zhu Yawen and Wang Luodan, "My Brother is Shunyu" starring Wang Baoqiang and Zhang Guoqiang, "My Regiment Leader, My Group" starring Duan Yihong and Zhang Yi, and "Beauty Scheming" starring Luo Jing, Gao Yuanyuan, and Li Yitong ......

All completed the shooting plan.

Post-production is underway at China Film Digital Film and Television Base.

They were also divided into several crews and carried out a wide range of publicity, such as "Happy Camp" and "Everyday Upward" on Mango Channel, as well as variety shows on Hui Province and Suzhou Province Satellite TV for publicity.

The casting of "Love Apartment" and "Let's Watch Meteor Shower" is still in progress, and the reason why it is so slow is mainly because Xu Ning is very busy during this time.

Before departing for Chongqing,

He'll take care of both.

As soon as I arrived at the company to prepare for a meeting, the phone rang, and it was Cai Yinong, the boss of the sugar man, who called, "Good morning Mr. Xu, haha, I'm sorry to disturb you." ”

Cai Yinong called this time to talk about the filming plan of "The Legend of Sword and Fairy 4", this TV series was not filmed in the previous life.

Fairy Sword fans may know that the plot of "Fairy Sword 4" is the most exciting part of the entire fairy sword game, which can be called the pinnacle.

But why wasn't it filmed?

The main reason,

It's still a matter of money and copyright.

"Sword and Fairy 4" came out in August 2007, and at that time, Sugar Man had no plans to shoot it for the time being due to financial problems.

After a few years, I wanted to shoot, but it was shelved due to copyright issues, so I never had the opportunity to shoot it.

The reason is that several partners of the company that made fairy swords parted ways, resulting in a chaotic copyright management, and no one wanted to suffer a loss, so they did not sell it.

It's not because some fans said, "I can't bear to shoot because the plot is too good", this is.

Which producer would be reluctant to shoot because the plot is too good?

Do you have to get along with money......

"Mr. Xu, let's work together to shoot the Fairy Sword 4 that fairy sword fans have been calling for, it will definitely be popular."

"Yes, you can." This project is a sure win, Xu Ning has no reason not to agree, and he can also praise his own woman.

"Okay Mr. Xu, just have your words, I will immediately start communicating with 'Shangsoft', and I can take down the copyright tomorrow."

Boy......

You've communicated in advance, haven't you?

"By the way, Mr. Xu, do you still play the leading role?" Cai Yinong asked weakly, she didn't know if Xu Ning was still interested in TV series.

Xu Ning thought for a while, and said with a smile: "I'll forget it, Brother Hu from the company will play the leading role...... You get the script out first, and a few heroines will use my side. ”

His words seemed like a command.

Cai Yinong just nodded and said, "Understood, Director Xu." ”

"You talk to my sister about the specific things, and I'm going to deal with other things now." With that, he hung up the phone.

A moment later.

Cai Yinong called Xu Xiuyan's phone, and the two chatted about "Fairy Sword 4" for two minutes, and began to talk about cosmetics, bags, and emotions......

Xu Ning didn't have the heart to talk about this.

He was already sitting in the office with Wei Zheng, the director of "Love Apartment", and Wang Yuan, the screenwriter, talking about the shooting plan, and Shen Yi and Tang Wei, the directors of "Let's Watch the Meteor Shower", were sitting outside.

Wei Zheng and Wang Yuan, one is 82 years old and the other is 83 years old, they are not very old, and it is the first time to direct such a large-scale sitcom.

The two of them were flattered by Xu Ning's weight, and nodded again and again, "Mr. Xu, what you said is right, you can choose whoever you say." ”

At last.

Xu Ning circled the main roles.

Zeng Xiaoxian: Chen He.

Lu Ziqiao: Sun Yizhou.

Guan Gu Magic: Wang Chuanjun

Chen Meijia: Zhao Liying

Hu Yifei: Lou Yixiao

Lin Wanyu: Jing Tian

……

Gold Medal Lawyer Zhang Wei: Li Jiahang

"By the way, Li Jiahang, an actor, if you have time, you can ask him to come to the capital to meet me, I have some legal matters and want to consult him."

Before Wei Zheng and Wang Yuan went out, they heard Mr. Xu suddenly come to such a sentence, and nodded inexplicably: "Oh, ah? Okay, Mr. Xu. ”

"Strange, why is Mr. Xu interested in Li Jiahang? No, Li Jiahang studied acting, how to consult him about the law? ”

“……”

"What about "Let's Watch Meteor Shower", I don't know much about this kind of idol drama, and you are solely responsible for it, but I will also finalize a few actors first, do you have no opinion?"

"Haha, no opinion, Mr. Xu, whatever you say is what, it should be, I can shoot whoever you choose." Director Shen Yi said with a smile on his face.

Shen Yi is a famous youth idol drama director on the treasure island, and he is the godfather-level figure of the idol drama on the treasure island, he is almost 50 years old this year, and "The Star of the Sheep" and "The Three Thousand Golds of the Xia Family" are all his works.

"Thank you for your hard work Director Shen, Tang Wei, you have to study well with Director Shen." Xu Ning stood up and shook hands and said.

The four male protagonists of this youth idol drama have been determined, played by Luo Jing, Zhu Yilong, Wei Daxun, and Yu Haoming.

After sending the two away, he called Xiao Cui, the general manager of SM in South Korea, and asked him to arrange for Lin Yuna and Xu Xian to film in China two days later.

The two of them will play the other two heroines in "Let's Watch the Meteor Shower", and Lin Yun'er has even more plots than Shuangzi, which can be regarded as three heroines.

Actually, it's normal,

Four male protagonists and three female protagonists, nothing strange.

After Lin Yuner got the news, she hugged Xu Xian excitedly: "Xu Ning Oba shouted that we should go to China to film, alas, it's amazing." ”

The other members of Girls' Generation were jealous and their teeth were sore, and after Han Geng, a member of Sj, found out, he also went to Manager Cui and wanted to come to China to film.

Xiao Cui smiled awkwardly and politely: "Xiao Han, wait a minute, Mr. Xu didn't speak, I don't dare to recommend you to him." ”

……

Afternoon.

Nortel Performance Department.

Xu Ning took Luo Jing, Zhu Yilong, Wei Daxun, and Yu Haoming to the 07 classroom together.

Jingtian is also from this year, and Shuangzi is a classmate, and when Xu Ning arrived at the gate of the school, she was already standing at the door to greet her.

A group of people came to the classroom.

The girls of the 07 performance department were all sitting in the classroom, and Xu Ning's arrival made the classroom burst into applause for a minute.

All the girls are looking forward to it.

Looking forward to being selected.

But today, at most one heroine is chosen.

Add up to two more female supporting roles.

Before the election, Xu Ning was invited by the 07 class teacher to give a speech on stage, which lasted for almost ten minutes.

subsequently

He began to introduce the four handsome guys he brought one by one.

There are a few female students who know that they can't get someone like Xu Ning, so they are very interested in these four big boys, after all, they are also potential stocks.

His eyes swept around the class, and he casually pointed to the three people, and then, the head teacher smiled: "Shuangzi, Kan Qingzi, Lu Shan, you stand up." ”

Shuangzi's heart was beating wildly and excited.

The same goes for Kan Qingzi and Lu Shan.

As if he was being ordered a chicken, he was ordered out by Xu Ning.

"You three come with me to the office." Ma Xiaojing, the head teacher, said, "Director Xu, please come here." ”

Soon.

Shuangzi entered the office.

She has a fair and tender face, looks good when she smiles, wears a loose sweater on her upper body, and wears a pair of trousers on her long legs.

"Director Xu, hello, my name is Zhen Shuang, from Shenyang, Northeast China, 18 years old this year, 168 tall, and 85 pounds in weight."

"85 pounds?" Xu Ning said.

"Uh-huh, it's 85." Shuangzi is a little overwhelmed, could it be that she said something wrong? Why did Director Xu react so much.

"Give you half a month, eat more than 90 pounds, if you can do it, stay, if you can't do it, go out."

"Huh?" Shuangzi still thinks that he heard it wrong, as long as he eats 95 pounds, can he act? That's too simple.

Shuangzi's head teacher laughed softly: "Xiao Shuang, thank you Director Xu for not being fast, he means that you are too thin to be photogenic, eat more." ”

Shuangzi bowed and thanked: "Thank you Director Xu, thank you teacher, I will definitely eat fat, and strive to eat 90 pounds." ”

Xu Ning: "With your height, I don't think 100 pounds is fat, don't give me a diet, if you let me know, I won't need you." ”

Shuangzi was taken aback.

I thought in my heart, even if I die fat, I can't go on a diet, in order to be able to play Director Xu's play, I fight, I want to eat egg tarts, steaks, broccoli, and greens...... Well? How did you get healthy again?

Xu Ning asked her to eat fatter, in addition to being on camera, she also had a little caution, that is, the girl who was too thin was held in her arms.

It's not fleshy...... Under the weather.

Like Li Xiaoran, Xu Qing and Jia Jingwen are the most suitable, even the teacher has lost a little weight, and Da Mimi is very good because of Wei'an.

Two days later.

The people of "Let's Watch the Meteor Shower" all gathered in the epoch-making conference room, and Lim Yoona and Seo Hyun have already arrived here.

Xu Ning was ready to go home and pack his things after the meeting.

Before leaving, he said to the eldest sister: "Sister, settle Yun'er and Xu Xian, I will go to Chongqing, and then I will go to Guangdong, Nanjing, and Shanghai, and I will come back for at least a month and a half." ”

Lin Yun'er and Xu Xian also wanted to have a threesome with Xu Ning tonight, but they didn't expect that Director Xu would set off as soon as they arrived here.

Looking at the two poor little beauties, Xu Ning reluctantly took a little time to have an in-depth chat with them in the office.

After that, he took a plane to the former site of the Republic of China Government in Chongqing with Aunt Liu, Liu Yifei, Zhang Guoli, Tang Guoqiang, Sun Honglei, Chen Kun and others who were waiting for him at the airport.

This time, Liu Yifei was arranged as a reporter, and Aunt Liu was arranged for Chang Kaishen's wife.

When I arrived in Chongqing, I rested for half a day.

The next day, the set started.

The first act was filmed in August 1945, when the two parties held peace talks in Chongqing, mainly to solve the domestic political problems after Xiaori's surrender.

That same evening.

In a Republican-era building, a welcome dinner was held, and many celebrities would be featured at the dinner.

For example, Zhang Guoli who plays Chang Kaishen and Aunt Liu who plays his wife, Li Lianjie who plays the commander of the navy, Wang Xuexi who plays Li Zongren, Hu Jun who plays Gu Zhutong, and reporters Sun Honglei and Liu Yifei......

This scene,

The shooting didn't end until 11 o'clock at night.

After it is over,

Xu Ning took Aunt Liu and a few people to the streets of Chongqing to eat some delicious food, and did not go back until one o'clock in the morning.

For five days.

After filming all the scenes in Chongqing, the crew rushed to Guangdong non-stop, stayed in Guangdong for a week, and flew to the magic capital.

It took a whole month.

only to Nanjing.

After filming the scenes in the presidential palace, he rushed to the old area of Yan'an non-stop to shoot the last few scenes.

As he expected, a month and a half later, the crew finished on time in the Yan'an Revolutionary Base Area.

At the same time.

All the actors who participated in this drama posted a Weibo news on March 28 to celebrate the completion of "The Great Cause of the Founding of the People's Republic".

This movie, counting the preparation time, took nearly 5 months in total, but the actual shooting time was probably less than 2 months.

It's kind of a normal speed.

Next, it will enter the long post-production process, which is expected to take about three months to be released nationwide on the National Day.

Xu Ning also freed his hands and began to prepare for his next movie, "Inception", but the change of this movie is very difficult, and he needs to plan it well.

The entire shooting period is expected to last up to one year.

But

In the meantime, you can do other things as well.

For example, make a few movies that are not difficult to make.

The main one is two flowers.

……

is about to enter April, and it is about to reach the third very important movie schedule of this year, the May 17 schedule.

Not long ago, "Fast and Furious 4" was announced to be finalized, and it will be screened on April 10, and it will be released in 37 theaters across the country on the 15th.

In addition, "X-Men Prequel: Wolverine" and "Shinjuku Incident" will also be released before May Day to share this cake.

Because Xu Ning did not have a movie released, he did not pay attention to the box office during this time, but focused on work and play.

The next day I came back.

He received the script of "Inception" from Hollywood, which he had spent a lot of money to get from Nolan.

At the beginning, Nolan asked for 2 million US dollars after tax and a box office share, but this did not fit Xu Ning's style of acting.

Give you money, you can sell my script.

Want to divide into??

No way.

So, through intermediary negotiations, he finally won the script that Nolan had written for 10 years at an after-tax price of 5 million dollars.

Truth be told,

He can write this script himself.

But in order to prevent Nolan from filming and causing copyright disputes, he simply bought the script.

This price is quite outrageous internationally.

Two years ago, a movie "Time and Space Clues" released in Hollywood, the script sold 4.5 million US dollars, and it caused a sensation.

And "Inception" has set a new record.

Once again, it has attracted a lot of media attention.

You know,

The script written by himself is not the same as the script adapted from it, and it is well-known and has a large fan base, which is worth the price.

But the imaginary script has no fan base, and how much it is worth depends entirely on the mood of the buyer.

If it weren't for the script written by Nolan, Xu Ning wouldn't have spent so much money to buy it, and now giving him 5 million is a borrowing of Nolan's reputation and gagged him.

In the future, it will be released in North America, and Nolan will also come out for a roadshow, which is written in the contract, so there is no loss at all.

Again.

Compared with its future box office and word-of-mouth, it is a very small investment, no matter how you look at it, it is profitable.

But.

The media, both domestic and foreign, were shocked.

Especially in China, all words such as "shocked", "sky-high" and "generous" are used to describe Xu Ning's crazy move.

[Shocked! Director Xu won the script of "Inception" with 5 million US dollars after tax to create a super action sci-fi movie. 】

[Shocked! Astound! Astound! Xu Ning has invested heavily, and Chinese films have ushered in a new era of development, where will Zhang Yimou, Feng Xiaogang and others go? 】

[This will be a science fiction film that will push Chinese cinema forward for twenty years, and Xu Ning intends to build China's Hollywood. 】

【……】

All sorts of flattery.

Blow him to the sky.

At the same time, major film and television companies, theaters, and celebrities all want to contact Xu Ning.

Because

Everyone, they all smell Xu Ning's ambition!

Why?

Because

Generally speaking, the script accounts for 5% of the investment in the entire film, and according to the script of 5 million US dollars, the investment in "Inception" will reach 100 million US dollars.

Converted into RMB, nearly 700 million.

It's going against the sky!

Thank you all for your support!
