Hualiu Director

Chapter 151 Preparing for the new film "People on the Journey"

Just after the celebration banquet of "Life Kiss Me Badly", the news that Huang Li gifted Lin Hong a Ferrari f8 became a trending search, but this is not the hottest news yet.

"Lin Hong, who just won the No.3 box office in the National Day file, decided to enter the Spring Festival file!"

It is not uncommon for the same director to have films released in the National Day and Spring Festival in the same year, but it is always that one or even two films have been filmed in advance.

But this time Lin Hong decided to join the Spring Festival competition when the Spring Festival is less than three months away. It is said that he has not even started writing the script.

But few people would doubt that Lin Hong is talking big, because he has proved how efficient he and his team are in "Please Advise the Director".And "Life Kiss Me Painfully" took only a little more than 3 months from project approval to release. You can look at their achievements in theater screenings.

"Go and ask about the type of Lin Hong's new film, no, no matter what type he is, we must participate in it."

"Who is the producer? Or Huang Li?"

"Have the cast been confirmed? Let's see which artists in our company have suitable schedules, and ask their managers to contact Hualiu Film and Television immediately."

Because of the great success of "Life Kiss Me Badly", Lin Hong, who is the behind-the-scenes director, may not be as popular as an actor among the audience, but he is definitely a rising supernova in the industry.

Lin Hong's words at the celebration banquet made many people nervous, especially the several film and television companies that had their films released on National Day, and those who had no plans to release them were also a little jealous when they saw Huang Li's investment getting a huge return. Want to get involved.

The first thing Lin Hong thought about after making money was to buy a house. Although he envied Huang Xiaoming's big villa, he didn't necessarily want to buy it. For him, the courtyard house where he lived since he was a child was more satisfying.

So on the second day after the box office share was credited, I asked Sister Hu to buy all the houses of the other three houses in her yard. Of course, Sister Hu would not be polite to Lin Hong. Anyway, he only has one son and one daughter, and these will belong to them in the future.

The distance from home to Hualiu Film and Television is not far away. Fortunately, luxury cars like the Ferrari f8 are not uncommon in Beijing, so they have not attracted much attention. It is just that Lin Hong has never felt the legendary push since he picked up the car. Feeling sad, because... the capital is too congested.

The car drove to Hualiu Film and Television, and there were already many capital representatives who came to discuss investment matters.Of course, Lin Hong doesn't need to worry about this kind of happiness trouble, Xiao Di is just a master in this area.

When Lin Hong entered the meeting room, a group of people sat there full of people, each of them was holding Lin Hong's new script "People on the Journey" written last night, and they were eager to read it.Lin Hong greeted everyone first, then sat down and leaned his head back on the chair.

"I wrote it until midnight last night, why don't you sleep more at home?"

Kong Xiao asked Lin Hong concernedly while pouring tea for Master Huang Li, and the others also looked over curiously.

"Don't mention it, Sister Hu bought the yard at home, and she is asking someone from the decoration company to measure it. I said he won't let it start after the year, and I have to do it immediately. Do you think my house can stay in this situation? .

How about it, brother Baoqiang and Chen Yu, have you finished the script? "

Hearing Lin Hong's question, Wang Baoqiang and Chen Yu put down the script at the same time. They had just briefly read the script, and they were all amused by the various funny lines and plots in it, especially Chen Yu. He didn't expect Lin Hong to invite him to play.

"After reading it, I like the role of Niu Geng very much, and I am confident that I can play this role well."

Wang Baoqiang was a little excited. He saw the shadow of himself from the role of Niu Geng. He also came from the countryside, plunged into the world of mortals in the same ignorance, and also had his own inner persistence.

"I've also finished watching it. The role of Dawei is not difficult to perform. I don't need to rely on doubles and editing to play the guitar and sing."

Lin Hong is very happy that they both have confidence. These two are actors he has hand-picked to use. It would be difficult for him to explain if he stretched his hips, but now it seems that it is not a problem at all.

"Then it's settled. You don't arrange other work before the year. My crew won't delay too long. The real filming time is about a month from start to finish. You also need to participate in the follow-up publicity."

"No problem!" The two replied in unison.

"Manager Xiao, you and Uncle Huang should work out the budget as soon as possible, and the contract between Brother Baoqiang and Chen Yu should be finalized as soon as possible, and the makeup and photos should be done as soon as possible."

Just as Lin Hong was about to say something more, Chen Yu interrupted Lin Hong suddenly by raising his hand, and Lin Hong immediately signaled him to speak.

"Lin Hong, I don't want the film salary. Anyway, there are not many scenes, so I thought, isn't the script asking me to play the guitar and sing in the car? Can you help me write a song, and I can pay for the copyright... ..."

"What are you thinking! Let's have a good relationship, you are playing a serious role, not a cameo, so the salary must be paid, but you can only be regarded as a newcomer, and I will not give you extra care for this.

But as for the scene where you sang in the movie, I will write a song for you specially for you. The copyright and the original song are all yours. This is our brotherhood. If you refuse, then I will replace it. Dawei changed to a student who played the harmonica with one hand. "

Lin Hong said and looked at Li Xian. This guy also wanted to play the role, but Lin Hong felt that there was no role that was particularly suitable for Li Xian in this drama, and his hand had not fully recovered, so he refused.

At this time, Lin Hong was joking with Li, and he was so angry that he almost threw the mineral water on the table at Lin Hong.

Forget it, some outsiders will save you some face, make an appointment on the rooftop after school.

Hearing what Lin Hong said, Chen Yu could only agree.

"Brother Baoqiang also has a singing scene in the script, and I will also write one for you. By then, you will also have your own exclusive song."

"No, no, no, I can't even tell Doremi apart, how can anyone sing?"

Although Wang Baoqiang also sang songs in other movies, they were all for spoofing, and they were all songs he had heard since he was a child. He still knows how to hum a few casually.But when he heard that Lin Hong was going to write a song for him, it was completely different.

"Brother Baoqiang, don't worry, what I wrote to you must be very simple. If you sing boldly, it won't be mine.

Just one thing, brother Baoqiang, you and Chen Yu should not be biased when promoting. "

Lin Hong's words made everyone in the conference room laugh. Wang Baoqiang is one of the leading actors in "Taoist Out of the Mountain", and Chen Yu is Chen Ge's son. They are different, and the market segments are also different, but if they are all released during the Spring Festival, they are the opponents.

However, Lin Hong is not really worried about this issue. As a blockbuster film for the Spring Festival, "Taoist Out of the Mountain" has definitely received a lot of attention, so Wang Baoqiang and Chen Yu can star in "People on the Journey", it is definitely Lin Hong who took Chen Ge's Cheap, "People on the Journey" has caught the popularity of "Taoist Out of the Mountain".

"Lin Hong, let Kong Xiao be the producer of "People on the Journey". I didn't expect you to start a new film so soon, so I opened another project before, and I'll keep an eye on it. But Chunlei's resources you guys If you need to use it, let Kong Xiao call it directly."

Huang Li seemed a little regretful, but Lin Hong knew that he was not disappointed at all. This kind of comedy commercial film is not the type that Huang Li can't compete with, so he gave it to Kong Xiao.

When Kong Xiao heard that Master did not fight with him, he was so happy that he almost hugged Master. This is his first theatrical movie as a producer. Can he not be excited?

The meeting lasted until the evening, and Wang Baoqiang successfully joined the group as a bonus of 1500 million plus the copyright of a song.Chen Yu's Hualiu gave 60 yuan plus the copyright of a song, which is a normal market for a newcomer with few roles, and Chen Yu signed it without saying a word.

Wang Baoqiang and Chen Yu were sent away, and Huang Li was sent away. After being the last person from Hualiu Film and Television in the conference room, Lin Hong and the others began to talk about more confidential matters.

"The film style this time is a road film, with many scenes, and the workload is heavier than before. Brother Liao, you have to pay close attention to this point. If you don't have enough manpower, you can recruit immediately. Many crews will stop work at the end of the year and will not start new films. Recruiting shouldn't be difficult."

"The estimated total investment is 5000 million yuan, and the actors' remuneration should be controlled within 2500 million yuan. Kong Xiao, you should determine other actors as soon as possible according to the script requirements."

Of course, the great success of the original "People on Journey" cannot be separated from the wonderful performances of the actors, and the two leading actors, Xu Zheng and Wang Baoqiang, set an excellent tone for this film.

Although Xu Zheng was a fan when the movie was scheduled, Lin Hong felt that it was because Xu Zheng was more famous and famous.In terms of plot promotion, Niu Geng played by Wang Baoqiang is the absolute core, and the comedy effect in the movie is basically created by Niu Geng.

In other words, the success of this film lies in the role of Niu Geng. As long as Wang Baoqiang plays Niu Geng alive, as long as Li Chenggong does not bring down the film, the film will basically be stable.

So in Lin Hong's version, Wang Baoqiang is the first one, and what they are discussing now is the candidate for the second one, Li Chenggong.

"How about Qin Hao, old friend, and he has no filming at the end of the year." Kong Xiao suggested that familiarity is worse than familiarity.

"Qin Hao's acting skills are fine, but his temperament is not suitable for such a comedy style." Lin Hong shook his head and refused.

"Where's Huang Xiaoming?" Zhang Wentong suggested using another acquaintance.

"Brother Xiaoming doesn't fit the role, and his salary is more expensive than Brother Baoqiang, so we can't keep letting him play at a friendly price..."

The Chinese film industry is not small, but it is not too big. The acting skills are good, the age is suitable, the temperament is suitable, and the salary cannot be too high. In this way, there are not many who can meet Lin Hong's requirements. The most important thing is There is also a schedule.

Deng Chong, who I met during the recording of "Running", was also a choice, but his salary is a big problem, and there is no schedule yet.

They haven't finalized the choice of actors, but they have confirmed the company to cooperate with.

Because Hualiu now has 4000 million cash in its account, Hualiu plans to invest 5000 million yuan this time out of 2000 million yuan, accounting for [-]% of the shares.

Huang Li's Chunlei invested 1200 million and accounted for 1200%, and Cheng Xi's Yitian Film and Television invested [-] million and accounted for [-]%.

These two have a lot of resources in their hands, and Masuda also has a production team that can be summoned and used, which is a very important resource for shooting multi-scene road movies.

The last 600 million ten percent Huang Li proposed to Berna Films before, this is also a benefit that has to be distributed, because Lin Hong temporarily decided to enter the Spring Festival file, the biggest problem he faces is to arrange the film.

However, Berna Films has no new films released during the Spring Festival this year. With the addition of Berna Films, at least it will get strong support from its offline theaters. Huang Li predicts that there will be at least 8% of the film at that time. Market slices.

After the cake was divided, Xiao Di started to contact several capitals to discuss the contract and the replacement resources they wanted to prepare.
