Penguin Pictures held the opening ceremony of "The Matrix" at Hengfeng Studios next door.
Song Yu first went to Beilong City to meet the crew, and then took a car there together.
Daxia, since ancient times, has paid more attention to rituals.
Even the date and time are calculated carefully.
Anyway, the picture is auspicious.
This is the first time for Song Yu to participate in the opening ceremony.
My previous role in "Excalibur Villa" was added halfway, so naturally I didn't catch up.
Later, "Chinatown" and "My Love from the Star" produced by Xingdong Entertainment were not included.
The main reason was that Song Yu was too busy and without the leading role, the two directors simply gave up.
This thing is dispensable.
The reason why Penguin Film and Television started it was because it wanted to promote it.
An open field.
In the middle are a large incense burner, roasted suckling pig and fruits, as well as a camera covered with red cloth.
After the crew still offered incense, Xu Ke and Lu Yihai lifted the red cloth, and the opening ceremony was completed.
Next is the media reception.
In fact, during the process of selecting actors for Penguin for more than half a month, there was already a lot of commotion.
Each of the officially announced actors is bigger than the last.
The male protagonist, Song Yu.
The heroine, Yu Pei.
The second male lead, Murphys, is the actor Tian Jie.
Smith, the third male villain, is the first-line star Jin Shubo.
The prophet is played by actress Qian Yadan.
Of course, Song Yu has localized these names.
With Penguin's energy, the rest of the supporting characters are also quite famous actors.
In addition, there are also various surprise guest roles.
In short, it is not an exaggeration to say that it is an all-star lineup.
With an investment of up to 3 billion, even without Penguin invitation, a large number of media gathered here like a cat smelling fish.
"Directors Xu and Lu, it's their first time directing a big-budget film. How do you feel about it? Or do you feel confident?"
A reporter holding a microphone labeled Penguin News stood up and asked.
"Of course."
Lu Yihai smiled and replied, "Although the investment has increased, this film is still based on special effects and action. It is a very familiar model to Director Xu and I."
"Mr. Sun, I would like to ask why Song Yu's script was used? After all, he is just a newcomer in screenwriting."
When Penguin Pictures announced the lineup, the screenwriter who was the focus was naturally mentioned.
This question is not a matter of trouble, it is indeed a question that many people have.
As a screenwriter, Song Yu has only two film and television dramas recorded so far.
"My Love from the Star" and "The Matrix".
The former hasn't been aired yet, so it's not clear what its level is.
In other words, Song Yu is a pure newcomer.
Adopting a newcomer's script is obviously risky.
Penguin spent a lot of money, and an investment of three billion seemed abnormal.
"Song Yu's script was highly praised by Penguin and the two directors."
Sun Yuan paused, revealed a secret, and said, "Without this script, there would be no today's crew."
"You mean Penguin decided to pursue the project after seeing the script?"
"good."
Sun Yuan's admission surprised the media at the scene.
What kind of script is it that has such charm?
The other actors also looked at Song Yu with curious eyes.
They haven't read the script yet.
Many times, when the crew hires actors, they will give the script in advance to increase the appeal.
But Penguin doesn’t need to. An investment of three billion is enough to make most actors put down their reserve.
Even if it is a bad movie, it is still a kind of qualification.
"Director Xu, why did you let Song Yu be the male lead? He is very good in the music industry, but as for acting, he only played a supporting role in "Excalibur Villa"."
"Song Yu and the male protagonist's personalities match." Xu Ke replied.
To be honest, his acting skills as Song Yu are still at the stage of "Excalibur Villa".
He is not sure whether he can play "The Matrix" well.
Fortunately, as he said, the character fits him well and he can play his true character.
In film and television dramas, true actors can perform beyond normal acting skills.
It's just that the playing area is too narrow.
If you don't work hard, you may disappear after a few plays.
Hearing this, Song Yu could probably understand what Xu Ke was thinking.
After "The Masked Singer", he gained a lot of fame, and his acting skills immediately reached a very auspicious number, eighty-eight points.
According to fantasy theory, he is now a first-line actor, half-stepping into the status of a movie king.
Acting in "The Matrix" is really not a problem.
The media conference lasted for nearly two hours.
Various questions bombarded me one after another.
Among them, Song Yu has the most questions.
After it ended, with the help of Penguin, there was a lot of discussion on the Internet.
“It’s rare to see such a strong lineup.”
"Three billion, as expected of Penguin, there are several big productions every year."
"Although I believe Brother Yu, since he is the leading actor in his second movie, I have some doubts about the quality of the movie."
"It's okay. Even if Director Xu and Director Lu cooperate with Brother Yu to cause mischief, Penguin won't do it."
"Looking forward to the day when the movie is released."
It costs a lot of money to maintain such high popularity until the movie is released.
Song Yu suspected that three billion might not be enough and more would have to be added.
Fortunately, Penguin has many promotional channels and can save a lot of money.
Filming started that afternoon.
The first scene is a street shootout.
Song Yu will not participate.
It's a scene between the heroine and the villain.
From the beginning, the two people showed different skills from ordinary people.
For example, jumping several meters in one leap, climbing over various eaves and walking over walls.
At the same time, it also hints to the audience that this is not the real world.
Song Yu took advantage of this time to receive firearms training.
Of course it's a fake gun.
It was his first time touching a gun and he found it quite novel.
But when it comes to filming, you don’t need to be proficient, just have a general understanding of the situation.
Although the first scene only lasted a few minutes, it was very complicated to shoot.
Been using it for over a week.
Naturally, Song Yu would not be idle, he filmed other scenes with Lu Yihai.
Thanks to Penguin's deep pockets, he was able to create two crews and let the two directors take charge of each part.
The advantage is of course that the shooting time is greatly reduced.
Late October.
The post-production of "My Love from the Star" has been completed.
Because Song Yu was filming, Yan Hu personally sent samples to the Literary and Art Association for review.
Generally speaking, the review takes one month.
If there is a problem with the content, it will be sent back for modification and then reviewed again.
It came and went and disappeared for several months.
However, "My Love from the Star" has no illegal content, so it probably won't encounter such an unfortunate situation.
"God's Coming"
Review Department of Literary and Art Association.
There may be thousands of movies and TV series sent by Daxia in a year.
As a result, the Audit Department has become the department with the largest number of personnel, with a total of thirty teams.
"My Love from the Star" was reviewed by the seventh team.
The team leader is Peng Qing, who is thirty-two years old this year.
As a reviewer, the advantage is that you can watch movies and TV series for free, but the disadvantage is that it is too eye-catching.
This thing is just like a video reviewer. From time to time, you will see pictures that are physically uncomfortable.
The worst thing is that even if you have nothing to do, you will be scolded by celebrity fans.
Peng Qing rubbed her eyes.
My eyes hurt after looking at it for a long time.
Just then, she received a document marked in red.
The meaning is very simple, give priority and review as soon as possible.
"You who come from the stars? Sounds a bit familiar."
Peng Qing looked at the TV series details and cast list, "Oh, it turns out it's an idol drama starring Song Yu."
As an adult, although she is not star-chasing, she can still listen to music.
The most popular singer this year is none other than Song Yu.
There are a few songs she really likes.
For example, "East Wind Breaks", "The New Drunken Concubine", "Chinese Dialect", "Legend", etc.
"I remember that Song Yu joined the Literary and Art Association not long ago. No wonder he was given priority for review."
Peng Qing moved the mouse and clicked on the first episode to start today's liver-breaking mode.
To be honest, she didn't have much expectations.
Because it is an idol drama.
Idol dramas these days are actually not very friendly to women.
Besides being in love, there is still love.
It's rare to see a career-oriented heroine.
Peng Qing has passed the age of love, so she is not interested in idol dramas.
"Interesting. Super-powered aliens?"
Although she doesn't like idol dramas, she has watched countless idol dramas because of her career.
For now, "My Love from the Star" is not that cliché.
Peng Qing watched and recorded whether there were any violations.
She soon discovered that the show was quite good, and at least it gave her a sense of anticipation to watch it.
For her who has read countless films, it is really rare.
These days, as movies and TV dramas get worse and worse, many people prefer to watch them at double speed.
But Peng Qing can't.
She had to make sure not a single frame was missed.
By the time I finished watching the entire TV series, a week had passed.
"It's actually not a bad movie."
This was her first reaction.
"My Love from the Star" is not a big production, it features new actors, and it is written by Song Yu.
Even Song Yu's fans are mentally prepared for this movie to be a bad one.
Peng Qing typed the words 'approved' on the keyboard, stopped paying attention and continued to the next TV series.
The next day, Xingdong Entertainment received a reply. Although I was a little surprised why it was so fast, it was undoubtedly the same thing.
Song Yan immediately contacted Daxia TV and Penguin Video to discuss the broadcast time.
The final date is Saturday, November 5th.
There are almost nine days for publicity.
Longteng Entertainment.
After Wang Jinquan saw the publicity on the Internet, he felt happy and secretly thought that the opportunity had finally come.
Can't beat the music scene.
But he wants to teach Song Yu how to behave in the film and television industry.
The conference room of the film and television department.
"What dramas are being broadcast recently?" Wang Jinquan asked.
As a top large company, Longteng Entertainment's production capacity is naturally not comparable to that of Xingdong Entertainment.
With full power, more than a dozen films a year, there is no big problem.
Moreover, the difficulty of filming idol dramas is low, and it has become industrialized.
Because there are too many film and television dramas, in order to seek better schedules, some of them will not be broadcast immediately even if they pass the review.
"There are three." Xu Mo replied.
He knew what Wang Jinquan was thinking, but he wouldn't stop it.
Because he is also happy to see this.
In the original young director training program, Song Yu took away two of the directors he was optimistic about, which could be said to have completely offended him.
Besides, they are competitors.
If we are suppressed at this time, it will definitely be affected when two movies from Xingdong Entertainment are released in March next year.
At least the expectations won't be that high.
"Which one has the potential to be a big hit?" Wang Jinquan asked again.
"The stars and the moon are like kings."
"Oh, I have an impression."
Wang Jinquan's face showed surprise and he asked, "The male protagonist Xia Jun became famous last year with "War Princess", right?"
"Well, the idol drama "War Princess" has a highest ratings of 7%, ranking fourth among idol dramas last year."
Xu Mo said with a smile, "Compared to its cost, the profit is about ten times."
"Who is the heroine?"
"Chi Wenyue is also the heroine of "War Princess". The two of them collaborated again for the second time, which is quite topical."
"Okay, that's it, this one will be broadcast on November 5th." Wang Jinquan waved his hand and said.
He's not worried about "My Love from the Star."
Purely new cast, plus new screenwriters.
The probability of becoming popular is too low.
Although idol dramas have entered the industrialization process, this sentence only applies to major film and television companies, not Star Entertainment.
Wang Jinquan knew that their film and television department had just been established, and most of their employees were newcomers, with few veterans.
Even if there are veterans, they are all unknown people.
What do you think?
Longteng Entertainment is hard to lose.
"'My Love from the Star' is broadcast on Daxia Satellite TV and may pose a threat to us." Xu Mo said.
"Although Daxia TV has high ratings, their audience doesn't like to watch idol dramas." Wang Jinquan shook his head.
He felt that Song Yu made a wrong move.
Daxia Satellite TV almost never broadcasts idol dramas.
Although Song Yu was very generous and allowed them to make an exception, where would the audience come from?
Besides, the broadcast time of Xia Satellite TV is not during the prime time period, so it is naturally a disadvantage.
After all, its prime time slots are "The Seven O'Clock News" and "Hot Talk."
No matter what TV series it is, it can't be changed.
"Contact Jianghai TV and New Entertainment Video."
Wang Jinquan showed a confident smile and said, "Let Song Yu understand that no matter how good the song is, it has nothing to do with the screenwriter."
Song Yu noticed the news on the third day.
But ignored it.
He can guess what Wang Jinquan is thinking.
These days, there are really very few film and television dramas from purely newcomers that are popular.
It's normal for him not to be optimistic.
But Song Yu is not a newcomer.
The scripts he gave were all written by the great boss in his previous life.
"The Matrix" has been filming for almost a month, and the crew finally gave them two days off.
Song Yu took advantage of these two days and came to Beilong City again.
Meet Guan Man and her mother Tang Qiurong.
Also accompanying him was Jiang Li, director of the artist management department of Xingdong Entertainment.
"Because the situation of Yuanping Entertainment is not good, we have contacted several companies, but the conditions they offered are far inferior to yours."
Tang Qiurong looked at Song Yu and said, "Only if what you say is true."
"Whether it's true or not, just write it into the contract."
Song Yu smiled and said, "Minister Jiang, show them the contract."
After Tang Qiurong took it, he quickly turned to the conditions he mentioned.
Xingdong Entertainment has promised to shoot four TV series with Guan Man as the heroine in the next three years.
Two small-budget sweet dramas, "Yu Ci Xiao Wu Zuo" and "The Rumored Chen Qianqian".
Two popular dramas, "Legend of Sword and Fairy" and "The Beginning".
Needless to say the latter two.
The first two are both online dramas with low cost.
And the results and reputation are pretty good.
With the current production capacity of Xingdong Entertainment, it is impossible to make movies or relatively expensive TV series like "Sword and Sword".
But it’s barely okay to make web dramas.
In addition to making money, the most important thing is to support people.
Guan Man, Pang Xu, Xi Wei and Tan Yu, etc.
Although it is a bit difficult to make a big fire, it is still very easy to make a small fire.
In addition to these two films, Song Yu actually has two more films planned.
"Wulin Gaiden" and "Family with Children".
It's just that Guan Man couldn't play the heroine, so it wasn't included. This chapter has been completed!
