In addition to filming "New Fist of Fury", Star Director Studio naturally has other projects.
Continuing to shoot a soft science fiction novel by science fiction writer He Xi, the investment scale this time is much larger, almost 15 million.
The reason why there are so few is because actors who want to take on roles, as long as they are a little famous, basically only get a small salary.
If the film does well at the box office after its release, the director's studio will naturally receive a big red envelope from them, which is basically two to three times their net worth.
As for the salary of ordinary actors, naturally it accounts for a pitifully small proportion in a project like this.
For a soft science fiction movie that focuses on plot and imagination, the total salary expenses of all cast and crew members amounted to less than 10% of the total investment.
The remaining funds can naturally be used for filming.
As long as the director honestly follows the script and doesn't make any mistakes, the money invested in the filming will basically be enough.
At this time, we have to talk about the benefits brought by the advancement of electronic information technology.
The material taken every day is transferred to Wu Dong's email through the network, and then the specific pictures taken are carefully checked to see if there are any loopholes or deviations.
That's right, the director's studio uses the latest digital cameras, not traditional film cameras.
Otherwise, if you switch to a film camera, you have to wait until the end of the shooting to see the developed film to know whether the tool director has done his job honestly.
Even if a problem is discovered, in the end due to cost and practical factors, we can only admit it with a pinched nose.
Not to mention movies adapted from soft science fiction novels, almost a year has passed since "The Kung Fu Doctor" was suspended, and it's time to restart it.
Several recently signed directors are busy with this aspect.
Speaking of which, Wu Dong also felt that the number of directors signed by the studio was too few.
Among other things, he couldn't find a suitable director to prepare for the action TV series "Invincible Black Fist" that he really wanted to shoot.
As for "The Romance of Dragon and Snake" that we want to focus on, it is still in the planning stage.
Fortunately, the serialization of the novel has not been concluded directly at this time, so we can postpone it for a while.
Of course, at this time, Starry Sky Director Studio was already well-known.
In terms of production output alone, even those well-known private film and television companies combined are somewhat inferior.
In terms of influence, the director's studio has now entered the ranks of top film and television companies, but its scale is not that big.
In the film and television industry, Wu Dong is known as the "Bo Le" who has so many ideas.
There are quite a few directors and stars produced by the director's studio.
Let's take Zeng Li as an example. At this time, she has such a good reputation internationally. At least in the field of action films, she has made a name for herself in the country.
Yuan Quan, one of the golden flowers in the 96th Class of China National Opera, is also developing quite well.
After the success of "Shark Beach", he has now firmly entered the ranks of top second-tier movie stars.
With her appearance and condition, if she can tailor a few exciting action scenes, it will not be difficult to break out of the country.
Currently, she is receiving martial arts training at the academy, and is also participating in the filming of some TV series to increase her popularity among the public.
Ahem, it is said that in order to take advantage of Wu Dong as an alumnus, the college has started courses related to film and television, and a lot of students have signed up.
There is also the physical education department, which at this time has basically become the exclusive residence of Wu Dong’s director’s studio and club.
Seriously influenced by Wu Dong, the martial arts team among them also trained like the veterans they recruited, and Yuan Quan was also doing this kind of training.
After all, Zeng Li's example is there, it is really effective and very obvious.
Yuan Quan put on a permanent posture, and her boyfriend, the Venice Best Actor Xia, naturally followed her and actively participated in the filming of projects produced by the director's studio.
Not only them, but some actors also moved their positions and came from the capital to stay.
At the same time, the director's studio also receives scripts from outside.
No, Wu Dong saw two comedy scripts on his desk, "Nightclub" and "People on the Road."
By the way, these two scripts were introduced by the famous Xu Guangtou later.
The opinions given by the creative center were quite positive, and Wu Dong naturally knew that these were two good comedy scripts.
Of course, it's just good.
In the mainland at this time, it is already quite difficult.
In the entire mainland film industry, it seems that only Feng Dapao shoots comedies, and it seems that only his comedies are making money.
Wu Dong checked the two scripts, then called his assistant, and asked Bald Xu and the staff related to the two scripts to come over to sign the contract and discuss the filming.
I don't know if he was prepared in advance, but not long after the assistant called, Baldy Xu hurried over, with a thin layer of sweat on his bare forehead.
The relevant personnel for the two scripts did not arrive, so Wu Dong didn't care, he directly explained the studio's decision clearly, and finally asked Bald Xu if he had any problems with the filming?
Bald Xu was a little hesitant and said that the script of "Nightclub" was written by the director himself, so naturally it had to be shot by himself.
Wu Dong didn't care much, waved his hand and said with a smile that the director's studio was not that overbearing.
As long as the screenwriter has solid directing skills, there will be no problem in filming, but the studio will also send a director to supervise.
Of course, since the film "Nightclub" is quite easy to shoot, you can lower the requirements for the director as appropriate, but you can't know everything.
Xu Guangtou showed joy on his face and nodded repeatedly to indicate that there was no problem.
Obviously, he still has some trust in the directorial skills of the screenwriter of "Nightclub".
As for the movie "Unfortunately", Baldy Xu was a little confused.
However, he is quite familiar with this script and understands it very thoroughly. He has obviously been thinking about it for a long time.
It is understandable that one of the pig's feet in the script is obviously played by Bald Xu. It would be strange if you are not familiar with it.
At this time, Bald Xu can only be regarded as a TV star.
He has become quite popular with several popular dramas including "Spring Scenes with Pig", "Li Wei is an Official" and "Love Through Time".
However, at present, mainland male actors have been suppressed by Hong Kong and Taiwan actors on the big screen and are basically unable to act as leading actors.
Of course, Feng Dapao's movie can be regarded as a comedy film unique to Beijing or the north, with obvious regional characteristics, but it does not require actors from Hong Kong and Taiwan to play the leading role.
"Painted Skin" released last year was a special case. It was the first time that a mainland actor played a leading role, but obviously only a top-tier actor could get such a role.
In front of Wu Dong, a new big shot in the film and television industry, Baldy Xu could only say that he would just listen to the arrangements.
Wu Dong didn't beat around the bush and directly asked Baldy Xu if he was interested in directing?
He knew that Guangtou Xu had certain directing skills.
It's not because of his later fame, because the director of the third part of "Li Wei is an Official" is actually Xu Guangtou.
In addition, it is also because there are no directors who shoot road comedies in China, which is very embarrassing.
As for the real director of this film, he does not know who it is, but he only knows that the other person is a Hong Kong director.
However, it is difficult for Wu Dong to judge whether a Xiangjiang director's grasp of mainland comedy elements can meet the requirements of the script.
Spring Festival travel, the combination of urban and rural areas, and the comedy conflicts in rural areas are things that even mainland directors are not very good at grasping.
Since Baldy Xu has thoroughly studied the script and has certain directing skills, let him direct it himself.
At most, just send an assistant director with solid directing skills to help.
I believe that Bald Xu will not ignore his first starring role in a big movie.
The joy fell from heaven, and one can imagine the excitement in Xu Guangtou's heart.
He thanked Wu Dong repeatedly, and even after leaving the gate of Starry Sky Director Studio, his face was still glowing with red light.
Sure enough, we did come to the right place this time.
Wu Dong, the big boss of Star Director Studio, is really willing to delegate power.
However, Bald Xu felt a lot of pressure on his body and had no intention of enjoying the leisurely pace of life and beautiful scenery in Guihua City, so he immediately took a taxi and headed straight to the train station.
After handling matters at the Starry Sky Director Studio, Wu Dongshi Shiran came to the production base of the beverage group.
Here, machines are still roaring and cars are coming and going, showing a prosperous atmosphere.
Baicao series of drinks are already quite famous at this time.
At least, this is the case in this province and surrounding provinces and cities.
The key is that the Baicao series of drinks do have certain health benefits, and you will naturally feel a little better after drinking them for a long time.
that's enough!
Other carbonated drinks are only harmful to the body and have little benefit at all.
The reason why the sales are so crazy is not that various carbonated drinks taste really good. Drinking an iced bottle in the summer feels quite refreshing.
But the Baicao series of drinks actually have a skin-care effect on the body, which is really incredible.
Nowadays, the economy is developing rapidly, and the Chinese people have begun to have more oceans in their hands.
Not to mention gradually forming the concept of maintaining good health, that is, to prevent our children from having physical problems due to drinking too much carbonated drinks, we must fully support the Baicao series of drinks.
Coupled with the advertising effect of the Chinese Super League champion team, in short, the sales volume of Baicao series of drinks is increasing month by month.
Large trucks loading goods were lined up from the door to the street.
No matter how much the production base produces, these large trucks employed by dealers in various places will just load it and leave without any intention of wasting it.
However, at some point, the news that Xiaori wanted to acquire Baicao Beverage Group suddenly spread.
The most important thing is that the rumor is that Baicao Group has a problem with its raw material reserves, and there is currently no way to solve it.
When the previously reserved raw materials are used up, the production base will completely stop production unless new raw materials are shipped.
This made dealers everywhere very uneasy, and they rushed to grab goods even more fiercely. They stayed in my brother's office all day without leaving...
