Seeing Zeng Li showing up with a cast of Golden Flowers from Class 96 and their boyfriends, Shuang Bing, who had arrived a step ahead, hurriedly pulled away and said hello to Zeng Li in a friendly manner.
Speaking of which, the two of them are also miserable. They have great reputations, but there are no starring films that they can actually produce.
Both of them are thinking about moving to the big screen, otherwise they would not have approached Star Director Studio before.
It can only be said that it was luck. It happened to be that the production of Starry Sky Director Studio exploded and a large number of actors were needed to star in it.
Seeing their sincere attitude, Wu Dong gave them the heroine roles in two soft science fiction films.
The results were also pretty good. The box office of "Prisoners of Time" was over 50 million, and the box office of "Heartbreaker" was over 70 million. The two of them successfully established themselves in the film industry.
In particular, the two soft science fiction films are of good quality and have excellent reputations, which has added a lot of capital to them.
Especially in "The Heartbreaker", the heroine has a lot of room for performance. As the heroine, Li Bingbing performed very well and won unanimous praise from the industry.
If not for such a connection, there would be no reason for the two of them to come over in person when Datang Film and Television held a celebration banquet.
Before, they were definitely the focus of the banquet hall, after all, their fame and appearance were there.
Even Boss Li from Datang Film and Television is very polite and considerate.
Both of them are social experts. They are very comfortable in the presence of bigwigs and financial sponsors in the film and television industry, and are quite adaptable to the environment on set.
Shuangbing also has some thoughts about Datang Film and Television.
After all, Datang Film and Television has recently launched two hit TV series in a row, and the entire company's reputation has skyrocketed.
Although they only want to go into the movie industry, if they have the opportunity to play the heroine of a popular TV series, it will be of great help to them to consolidate and enhance their popularity with the audience and increase their social status.
Not only them, but all the film and television company executives, financial sponsors, and celebrity actors who thought they had enough status who attended the celebration banquet were very concerned about this.
It's just a pity that Boss Li of Datang Film and Television has no intention of revealing it.
How did they know that Boss Li was waiting for Wu Dong to come over and make final confirmations.
It's not that he doesn't have the courage to make a decision, it's just that he doesn't want Datang Film and Television, which has an obvious upward trend, to hinder its development because of his decision, so it's not worth it.
It's just that it's not easy to say this to outsiders.
If possible, he would naturally want to establish a good relationship with a top team like Shuang Bing, and it would be best to cooperate a few times.
It's just a pity that compared to Zeng Li, who has been very popular in the past two years, Shuangbing is still far behind at this time.
Shuang Bing knew what he was doing, so he took the initiative to say hello.
Zeng Li did not rely on others. Both Boss Li of Datang Film and Television and Shuang Bing gave her enough respect.
Others speculated that she had an affair with Wu Dong, the boss of Starry Sky Director Studio, so she naturally had no idea what was going on.
It is impossible to say that I am not unwilling.
It's just that Wu Dong has never said anything, so it's naturally impossible for her to stick to him.
This time I participated in the celebration party of Datang Film and Television and brought a group of classmates over because I wanted to increase the momentum.
Her own studio has close ties with Starry Sky Director Studio, so she naturally knows that Starry Sky Directory Studio produces a lot of films.
Not only movies, TV series and even video shorts are shot. As long as the subject matter is good, you won’t miss it.
Among them, a large number of actors with acting skills and good looks are needed.
Rather than letting others take advantage, it is better to give students more opportunities to star.
She did not explain these thoughts to her good friend Yuan Quan, but Yuan Quan was also aware of it. The two parties cooperated well and explained Yuan Quan's attitude.
Boss Li of Datang Film and Television, as well as a group of other film and television company executives who were invited to attend the celebration party, as well as first-line stars such as Shuang Bing, together with Zeng Li and Yuan Quan who had just arrived, formed the core circle of the entire banquet hall.
Everyone is concerned about Datang Film and Television's next moves. Faced with many "eager" eyes, Boss Li can only say that he has to wait for Wu Dong to come over before making the final choice.
"After all, if those two films were to be made into high-quality films, it would cost a lot of money!"
He shook his head and said: "In addition, it involves too many fighting scenes and military battle scenes. Datang Film and Television currently has no relevant shooting experience!"
This statement may be true or false. There are not only war scenes but also martial arts fighting scenes in "The Great Military Advisor". It is impossible for Datang Film and Television not to have accumulated relevant experience.
It's just that everyone is just a show person, there is no need to expose it.
As for Boss Li’s thoughts, it’s actually easy to guess.
There is still a big gap between the current size and strength of Datang Film and Television and those established private film and television companies.
The production of two popular TV series does not prove anything.
When it comes to film and television companies that are great at producing TV series, Nanhai Zhouyi is definitely one.
From 2002 to 2006, they produced a number of popular TV series, and their momentum at that time was astonishing.
But just a few years later, Nanhai Zhouyi's popularity plummeted, and he was about to disappear from the entertainment industry.
Of course, Boss Li, who was born as a coal boss, has strong financial resources and will definitely not get into that situation, but he must be cautious.
After all, Datang Film and Television currently focuses on the TV drama market and has not invested much in movies, seriously lacking the foundation to resist risks.
In-depth integration with Starry Sky Director Studio is obviously a very good decision.
With the output of Star Director Studio, as well as their serious attitude in selecting scripts and producing film and television dramas, working with them is at least quite guaranteed.
Once Datang Film and Television's TV series and film production teams are fully mature, it won't be too late to slowly loosen the reins.
Right now, I don’t know how many film and television companies and financial backers want to cooperate with Star Director Studio, but they can’t find a way.
While we were talking, another guest arrived. They were directors Xu Guangtou and Yang Qing, who have been quite popular in the past two months.
Including Boss Li of Datang Film and Television, senior executives of Yiqian Film and Television Company, and Shuang Bing all took the initiative to greet him.
Even Zeng Li didn't want to be scornful and pulled Yuan Quan along to welcome him out.
This is the gap between famous directors and actors. Unless they are top stars with their own halo, no actor dares to really ignore an emerging director who has already had successful works.
Just a year ago, "Nightclub" filmed by Yang Qing was released through the operation of Star Director Studio, and the final box office reached more than 40 million.
Compared with the shooting cost of less than one million, the investment-to-income ratio is quite exaggerated.
Bald Xu's performance is even more dazzling. The movie "On the Road", directed and starred by him, grossed more than 70 million yuan at the box office during the Spring Festival.
The shooting cost was less than 5 million, and it was also a very successful commercial comedy, which showed Baldy Xu's talent in comedy.
Don't look at the fact that the box office results of the two movies were not high, but it is a fact that they made a profit.
Through these two works, the two also showed considerable directorial skills, especially in commercial comedies.
Looking around the world, in addition to those special effects blockbusters that cost a lot of money, the movies that are most likely to have box office miracles in various countries and regions are often comedy movies, and they are also family-friendly comedy movies.
Everyone in the industry, especially senior executives or bosses of film and television companies, are well aware of this.
It's just that in the past, there was a serious lack of well-known directors in China who were good at shooting commercial comedies, and it could even be said that there was only Feng Dapao.
Now that two people suddenly appeared, how could they not be taken seriously?
Not to mention, neither "Nightclub" shot by Yang Qing nor "On the Road" shot by Bald Xu, have such clear and obvious regional characteristics as Feng Dapao's comedy movies.
In other words, as long as the script is appropriate, the comedy movies shot by Yang Qing and Xu Bald will not have serious regional characteristics.
This is quite commendable.
The arrival of two young emerging directors quickly made the atmosphere in the banquet hall lively.
Even though it was just an internal celebration party for Datang Film and Television, there were quite a few celebrities and actors who were invited or came here because of their reputation.
Although there are only a few first-tier actors, and the rest are mostly second- and third-tier actors who often appear in TV dramas but whose names are hard to name, they are already quite big here in the provincial capital of the Central Plains.
If nothing else, just look at the excitement of the local young men and the so-called celebrities.
When Wu Dong came to the banquet hall, what he saw was a scene of enthusiasm and the atmosphere was quite good.
However, his arrival did not attract any special attention from second- and third-tier star actors.
After all, Wu Dong has not personally taken charge of the guide tube for several years, so it is understandable that he is not familiar with him.
As for his fame in the sports world, to be honest, the boundaries between the two worlds of culture and sports were clearly defined at this time, and there was not yet the trend of outstanding athletes turning into stars.
Unless they are real fans, ordinary celebrities and actors don't pay attention to the football circle at all. How can they have any deep impression on Wu Dong, the head coach of the Guihua school team?
At most, they just know that Wu Dong is the owner of the club where the Guihua school team is located and a possible big benefactor.
Of course, when Wu Dong soon became the center of attention in the banquet hall, all the lesser-known star actors knew that he was extraordinary.
Wu Dong would not pay attention to this. He was currently discussing the next filming matters with Boss Li of Datang Film and Television.
No way, he is really busy recently and has no free time at all, so he came to Jiangcheng to discuss the follow-up filming of the TV series with Boss Li.
Boss Li had specifically hinted it when he invited him to come, so Wu Dong naturally wouldn't mind revealing some important information at this time.
"Let's shoot "Celebrating More Than Years" first. There aren't many big scenes. If there are no problems with the filming, we can even make it in time for the summer release!"
"At the same time, the preliminary preparations for "Return to the Ming Dynasty to Be a Prince" can also be started at the same time..."
