Chapter 863 A mysterious large-scale costume drama

PreviousBack to directoryNext
"If nothing else, let's just talk about changing the crew. After Lin Lin finally got up, we actually didn't let you film many night scenes, only ten days at most."

"In order to take care of your rest time, I also broke up these night scenes and shot them separately."

"If you go to film a TV series, those directors are very quick and they won't care whether you are tired or not, whether your body can hold it or not, they don't care!"

"Running on work is the most important thing."

"So, Boss Wu, if you want to make a TV series, you must first weigh your own weight and see if you can hold on."

"You must not think that the cycle of filming a TV series and a movie is about the same, and the intensity of filming is also about the same."

"That's a huge difference. TV series can catch up with movies only because they work hard day and night."

"Can you, can you?"

At the end of the sentence, Zhang Feng's tone was almost threatening, and even his eyes became sinister, which was particularly scary.

"Then, let's forget it!"

"I'd better just find a movie to make."

Is filming a TV series so hard?

Wu Di exclaimed that it was so risky. If Zhang Feng hadn't reminded him, he might have foolishly chosen a TV series to film.

You know, there are many people looking for him to film TV series!

As a talented person who has absolutely no experience in filming TV series and has never even been a starring role in a TV series, he was asked to go directly to filming a TV series.

It’s also a high-intensity job, day and night, but forget it!

It's more important to save your life, but your face is not important at all.

Seeing Wu Di taking the initiative to retreat, Zhang Feng nodded with satisfaction. However, her trouble-making journey was far from over.

"Boss Wu, you still need to have some snacks and be in a hurry. You don't know yet, but your favorite general, your kind and good comrade-in-arms, Director Xiao Qi, has made new moves recently."

"What's new?"

"Have a girlfriend?"

"Where have you been thinking about? Do you need me to tell you about your girlfriend? That is personal privacy."

Men, after all, are still men. When it comes to secrets, the only thing that comes to mind is women's issues.

"I'm talking about the movie."

"About the movie?"

"Didn't he just win an award? He has been busy recently with the release of Labyrinth and running road shows. What else can he do?"

Due to the limitations of the cast, since the premiere, Wu Di and Xiao Qi have basically been divided into two groups, each running offline activities.

After all, in this movie, the only famous people are the two of them. When two people get together, it will inevitably affect efficiency.

It's better to go out separately and travel to a few more places.

A slightly unpopular movie like Labyrinth needs to work harder on promotion, especially to close the distance with movie fans.

In order to make them truly recognize the quality and reputation of Labyrinth, Xiao Qi has been busy watching the film these past few days.

We visited almost all the major cities in the country, and this was a journey in just a few days. It can be seen how busy Director Qi has been these days.

He is so busy, how can he have the energy to do anything?

Compared to Director Qi, Wu Di has more leisure time. He mainly focuses on the capital and promotes in surrounding cities. It is precisely because the tasks are relatively light that he has time to shoot advertisements and even ask Han Jing for money.

Wu Di looked confused, and Zhang Feng had no choice but to explain it to him.

It's obviously your own business, but you don't care about it at all, and don't listen to what's going on outside the window. Is this okay?

"I heard that Director Qi has already begun preparations for his second feature film. The script is ready, and a very powerful company has already approached him."

"how?"

"Didn't he tell you such an important thing?"

Look at Wu Di's face, does it look like something he's heard of? Zhang Feng is asking questions knowingly.

"Of course!"

"Never mentioned it, not at all!"

"How could he do this?"

"Didn't you agree that you should let me invest in making movies? I also have a company. Shouldn't you discuss this kind of thing with me first?"

Wu Di suddenly got angry when he was suddenly challenged.

If his relationship with Xiao Qi was just an ordinary cooperation and nothing else, he might not be doing anything wrong. After all, business cooperation is always a matter of mutual consent.

No one can force anyone, it all depends on mood, but Wu Di is different.

He and Xiao Qi can be regarded as comrades who share the same joys and sorrows. What's more, Xiao Qi's shooting style has always been a relatively small angle of view and a small layout, tending to be a master of genre films.

This type of movie, with Wu Di's current ability, can definitely be produced and distributed.

Even if he was worried about Wu Di, he should have informed Wu Di in advance, even if it was a joint production!

We can’t directly deprive Wu Di of the right to eat at the table!

Disgraceful, this is too disgraceful.

"Is the news accurate?"

Although Wu Di felt very aggrieved, he still held back and still asked politely on the surface. In fact, by asking this, he basically believed Zhang Feng's statement.

Zhang Feng sighed: "Then there is still a lie?"

"I heard it from the boss of the film company, personally. Although the two parties have not yet reached an agreement, I heard that Xiao Qi is very motivated."

"As for me, I just listened to it at the party and didn't take it seriously. However, I think the relationship between you two is still different."

"When he makes a new movie, he should discuss it with you first, or at least give you some news. You don't want to be kept in the dark."

"That would be too shameless, really."

Oh my God!

There is no way to survive this day!

On one side is Xiao Qi, who does not regard Wu Di as a friend, and on the other side is Zhang Feng, whose eyes are full of contempt, as if the biggest fool in the world has just been born.

That’s right!

That person is Wu Di!

Movie!

Where did all those movie scripts go?

I want to make a movie!

Blockbuster!

This chapter is not finished yet, please click on the next page to continue reading the exciting content! Wu Di was very sad that Xiao Qi actually abandoned him and found another big company. As a friend, he also understood Xiao Qi's choice.

Only by relying on big companies can we attract more investment and make more beautiful movies.

After all, we are now considered internationally renowned directors. Although we are not yet famous directors, we are now people with names.

It would be too shameful to spend another ten or twenty million to make a movie.

Hundreds of millions!

The production cost must be at least hundreds of millions!

Xiao Qi set such a goal for himself. Even if he couldn't reach this number, at least he wouldn't be far behind.

Obviously, relying solely on Wu Di himself, he does not have the power to run a movie project with an investment of hundreds of millions. This is a very real problem.

Ranmasanti?

This is indeed a very stable option, and Ms. Lan does have such strength. However, just like Wu Di wants to expand his network, Xiao Qi does not want to be trapped in the investment of one or two companies.

He is still an independent filmmaker, which is very different from the later popular model of directors and investors, who would immediately start a film company as soon as one or two successful films.

Xiao Qi is just a simple film director. The decision of who will produce his film is entirely up to him.

Because I am not tied to a film company, there is no need to work with any company.

What's more, the Xiao Qi now is no longer the Xiao Qi he used to be. The rising tide has lifted all boats, and his worth is different!

There are more than one or two people who pursue him, and they are vying to cooperate with him. Of course, Xiao Qi is also smart.

The so-called cooperation means that one is willing to fight and the other is willing to suffer.

As a director, he does still have a script in hand, which can be regarded as a labor of love. He has not yet made up his mind as to who to hand it over to.

However, he will not make a decision until Labyrinth is officially released and before the film gets effective feedback from the audience.

You film producers are also here to see if Xiao Qi is worth your investment, and I naturally have to weigh it carefully.

At that time, if the feedback is better, I will naturally wait for the price and find a better company to cooperate with.

Of course, this little thought cannot be hidden from the big guys.

Xiao Qi is also smart. Although there are many big bosses invited, he doesn't approach them all.

I just randomly selected the one that seemed to have the best strength.

This can also save a lot of trouble. If the company is satisfied with Xiao Qi after the movie is released, then the contract can be signed.

If he is not satisfied, Xiao Qi can also find someone else.

Other companies would not feel aggrieved if they took over this company's business, and they might even feel that they have struck a treasure.

After all, even though it was abandoned by a big company, as a small-budget film, it is possible to make money if it is run.

Maybe they’ll even welcome you!

Wu Di's new movie has not yet been released, but some of his old friends have become active, and some are very active.

Let’s not talk about Pancake Uncle. Although the box office performance of the movie Master is not ideal, the reputation is also numb.

But it didn't do much harm to my uncle.

Many people in the industry even admitted that in the entire movie, Uncle Jianbing was the only highlight.

It can be seen that Uncle Jianbing is a representative of bad actors but not bad actors.

Today, Uncle Jianbing has just finished filming a costume drama. After just a few days of rest, he received an invitation from the famous TV series director Xiao Long.

"Oh, it's a period film again."

"You still want to shave your head?"

Uncle Pancake used his iconic low hoarse voice to fully express his dissatisfaction with this character.

"yes."

"I know you don't like shaving your head, but believe me, the team of our TV series is very strong and very dedicated. I have identified you. You are the most suitable for this male lead."

"No one else can act except you!"

"But, I just filmed a period film, which is also a large-scale TV series, with fifty episodes. If you look at your TV series, it seems to have more than fifty episodes."

"I think, in terms of roles, they are all period films, which are too repetitive. Recently, I still want to try a modern film and television drama. Of course, no matter what type it is, I have to wait for a while."

"I've been too tired recently and want to take a good rest. I'll forget about your TV series. It's too long. I'm afraid I won't be able to handle it."

Jianbing is a very professional actor. If he really likes the script, he can still stand up no matter how tired he is.

Gladly accepted.

The problem is that he is not very optimistic about the script.

What is this?

The emperor and his eighteen wives?

Palace fight?

A green leaf among a bunch of red flowers?

To be honest, in Jianbing's thinking logic, he couldn't understand a TV series with such a structure at all. Although, there have been many palace TV series on the screen in recent years, and the response from the audience has been good.

However, what is the point of a TV series like this that only revolves around the palace? What is its value?

What's more, there are so many women, but he is the only man, and this story revolves around these women.

If you think about it with your brain, you will know that those women must be the ones who stand out, and the drama will not be with him.

Although Jianbing repeatedly refused, Xiaolong's attitude was also very firm.

"Jianbing, we have known each other for so many years, I still don't know what you are thinking?"

"You just don't like this kind of TV series. You dislike them all because they are women, mothers-in-law. But you should look at me."

"I am very optimistic about this script. Moreover, although the original work is the kind of romance story that girls like to read, I have made a rational adaptation. Although it is still more feminine, it is already a very stylish story.

.”

"Even if you don't believe this story, you should still believe me. Will I let my work become something that only cares about love and love?"

"What's more, for the role of the emperor, I envisioned you from the very beginning. When I adapted it, I always used your image. How would you handle something and how would you perform it? It can be said that you are the best

The right person."

"Besides, even though it's a female drama, your roles are much more than those of these women. Except for the heroine, the rest of the actresses appear in stages, and their roles are simply not comparable to yours.

Compare."

"Your position is very important, I can guarantee that."

"The most important thing is, as an actor, don't you want to give yourself a chance to break through?"

oh!

Opportunity for breakthrough!

To be honest, how the story is and how the actors are, these are not important issues that Uncle Jianbing considers at all.

Over the years, due to various reasons, and in his long acting experience, he actually cannot guarantee that all of his performances will be high-quality.

In short, we have also made bad movies.

It's all about survival, and there's nothing we can do about it.

Xiaolong, of course, is a good partner. After all, basic quality can still be guaranteed.

This point really makes Pancake excited.

In today's film and television drama market, all kinds of half-way monks with mediocre skills pretend to be directors and make various films.

Compared with them, Xiao Long is definitely a clear cut, and among the directors Jianbing has worked with, he can at least be considered a first-tier one.

However, after filming a long costume TV series, Jianbing was indeed tired.

Mainly, in this drama, his role is very heavy, he has to film with the crew almost every day, and the costumes are very heavy. After filming such a high-intensity drama, Jianbing is somewhat tired.

After all, as you get older, your physical strength is not what it used to be.

At first, even though it was Xiaolong's kind invitation, he still wanted to refuse.

However, when it comes to breakthroughs, he is still excited.
