"Stand still, let's take a group photo!"
"eggplant!"
At the entrance of the studio, director Xu Chengyi was in the middle, the male and female protagonist Ke Moumou, and Ms. Bai were on the left and right, taking a commemorative photo of the filming.
"Mr. Jiang invites everyone to get together tonight. Come, everyone!"
After the producer's notification, the crew called it a day and dispersed.
"Monster Hunt" has a large number of special effects shots. We specially hired Hollywood's Industrial Light and Magic to do them, with real people + CG, and special effects were done while filming. It has a budget of 280 million and is scheduled to be released during the Spring Festival.
Since the success of "Crouching Tiger, Hidden Dragon", Jiang Zhiqiang has become very famous in the mainland and has never failed. This is another big production that can be seen by the naked eye. The actors are very excited and are looking forward to a good box office.
"No tonight, Mr. Jiang invites us to dinner!"
"I don't know when it will end... Oh, that's fine, I'll call you when it's over."
In the car, Ke Moumou called his good brother Long Taizi.
In the entertainment industry, you never know who is friends with whom. For example, Zeng Yike and Guo Biting have been rumored to have an affair, Huang Xiaoming and Li Yuchun have a good relationship, Li Yapeng and Yang Kun are buddies, Han Hong and Jiang Xin are best friends...
In 2001, the 18-year-old Prince Long went to Taiwan to study music with Li Zongsheng and met Elva Hsiao. Elva Hsiao later fell in love with Ke Moumou, and the two became friends and became brothers.
Ke Moumou is only 23 years old this year. He rose rapidly after starring in "The Girl We Chased Together in Those Years" and "Little Times". He is the leading niche actor in the three places across the Taiwan Strait.
His car left the set and drove slowly toward the city.
No one noticed that a black old-fashioned Santana also started up. It hung behind him leisurely and followed him to the hotel. He waited patiently outside until dark, and then followed him to Jiang Zhiqiang's dinner party.
…………
"I met Director Xu five years ago. At that time, we were talking about this story and wanted to create a movie about Chinese monsters. We read through all the stories in "The Classic of Mountains and Seas" and "Liao Zhai", and finally found a movie called
A short story about "The House Monster".
Although it is about monsters, in the end it is all about emotions, with the theme of 'all things are animated and beautiful', so "Monster Hunting" was created."
At the wine table, the main creators sat in a circle, with Jiang Zhiqiang at the head. He stood up and spoke: "I have always had a dream, which is to make our own blockbuster. Along the way, "Crouching Tiger, Hidden Dragon" and "Hero" have made the market better and better.
The conditions are getting more and more mature, and I think this is the best era.
"Monster Hunt" is an attempt by Director Xu and I. This is not a ghost movie, it is a movie suitable for the whole family to watch during the Spring Festival. It is 100% Chinese. We are also honored to have all the young heroes joining us.
Let’s complete this work together… I’d like to toast everyone!”
Jiang Zhiqiang raised his glass slightly, and the others quickly stood up to drink together.
He has the style of an old-school gentleman. He is meticulous in his speech and behavior and pays attention to his style. This style and his status can easily make celebrities fall for him and create a sense of admiration.
While eating and drinking, Jiang Zhiqiang calmly controlled the situation, leaving no one in the cold.
"What will Miss Bai do next?"
"I want to promote "Get Out! Mr. Tumor", which will be released in the second half of the year."
"I heard it's director Han Yan?"
"Yes, a great director."
"Oh, I've heard of the famous name for a long time, and I hope to have the opportunity to cooperate."
After Jiang Zhiqiang took care of Bai Baihe, he turned to Ke Moumou and asked: "What activities are going on next?"
"I want to film "Tiny Times 4"."
"It's a very interesting movie. Director Guo Jingming is very talented. You will definitely be able to go further."
Jiang Zhiqiang opened his eyes and talked nonsense.
Since 99 Entertainment acquired Golden Harvest and then invaded Hong Kong, he has been elected as a representative by the Hong Kong circle, shouldering the important task of defending Hong Kong and attacking the mainland.
His thinking is clear, with three main points:
To retain Hong Kong's top directors and big stars, they mostly cooperate with pro-Hong Kong companies such as Huayi and Bona, set up companies in the mainland to develop artist agencies, and select mainland stars as agents in Hong Kong.
It is carried out in an orderly manner, and "Monster Hunting" is also one of the steps.
He wants to prove that even in the new era, Hong Kong can still produce hit movies. Since the beginning of this year, the box office champion is still "Journey to the West: Havoc in Heaven" with a revenue of 1 billion, which is much worse than "囧".
The sudden release of "囧囧" stimulated filmmakers from both sides of the Taiwan Strait and three places, and they desperately wanted to surpass it, huh?
"..."
Jiang Zhiqiang is in the wine shop, but his thoughts are far away. Xu Zheng's preparations for "囧" seem to have had some changes. It seems that investment has been liberalized. Do you want to get in touch?
…
Outside the hotel.
The weather in Beijing in April was still relatively cool at night. Zhuo Wei wrapped himself in his coat, got into a black tattered Santana, and threw a bag to his assistant.
"Fried noodles again? Boss, can you change it to a rice bowl?"
"The rice bowl is gone, just one bite!"
Zhuo Wei didn't care. He took out his chopsticks and started eating.
The studio now has a strong team, but the task assigned by Yu Jiajia is too heavy. She has to watch three dramas at the same time: "Monster Hunt", "The Four Famous Catchers" and "The Taiping Wheel", and she also has to go to Hong Kong to work.
There was a serious shortage of manpower, so Zhuo Wei had no choice but to do it himself.
From the perspective of tracking, the paparazzi's hardship is no less than that of the police. They sleep in the open air, squat for several days, go hungry and eat every meal, and earn all their hard-earned money.
They've been working on "Monster Hunt" for a month, but they haven't achieved anything.
Zhuo Wei has no fluctuations. Are there clean people in the entertainment industry? Yes, but they will definitely not appear among first-line stars. In other words, the more popular a star is, the darker his background is.
The two of them took turns watching, and when it was approaching 12 o'clock, the assistant suddenly woke him up with a slap.
"Boss, boss, come out!"
Zhuo Wei rubbed his eyes and saw the main creator of "Monster Hunt" leaving the show, saying goodbye and leaving. Among them, Bai Baihe got into a jeep, which he recognized as Chen Yufan's car.
Zhuo Wei knew that Bai Baihe had some information, but the matter was not serious. He decisively chose Ke Moumou. He was from Taiwan and had no real estate in the mainland, so it was easier for him to cause trouble.
Ever since, on the streets at midnight, a game of thief and thief began.
The nanny car drove slowly, and Santana was slowly hanging. Unknowingly, she ran to Dongzhimen Inner Street and turned into a high-end residential area called "Naga Upper Court".
It was built in 2008, and the real-time housing price is 80,000/square meter.
"parking!"
Zhuo Wei gave an order, and Santana stopped quietly on the roadside. He looked at the residential area with doubts on his face: "Is this Jackie Chan's house?"
"Jackie Chan?"
"He has two connected houses there, more than 1,200 square meters, occupying an entire floor!"
"That shouldn't exceed 100 million!!!"
The assistant was shocked.
"No way, he is the spokesperson of the real estate. He got the house at a low price and could use the endorsement fee to offset it. I guess he only paid more than 10 million."
Zhuo Wei knew all these treasures and thought: "What is this kid doing here? I heard that he has a relationship with Prince Long. Could it be that Prince Long is here?"
Chapter completed!
