Zhong Lifang glanced at the confused Liu Shishi, then looked at Han Sanping and others, her heart skipping a beat.
Lu Fei picked up the tea cup nonchalantly and said, "As the saying goes, eight points for wine and seven points for tea. The remaining three points are for favors. Tong Ju and Director Han, the relationship between us is so full that it overflows."
"
"Mr. Lu is right, our feelings are all in this tea!" Tong Gang and Han Sanping laughed, pretending that the scene just now did not happen.
"cheers!"
Watching the four of them drink it all in one gulp, Master Liu let out a breath.
Lu Fei calmly put his hands under the table, wiped them with paper towels, and changed the topic: "Actually, the purpose of my investment in "Let the Bullets Fly" is not exactly the same as "The Wind". It is also a gift, but it is also to enrich domestic genres.
film market.”
"Indeed! "Let the Bullets Fly" is a rare commercial film in China that has the temperament of a western film, and it also has black humor!"
Han Sanping gave a thumbs up in praise.
"It should be unique."
Lu Fei said with a smile: "And the market is not only lacking in western movies, but also in many genres, such as science fiction, mystery, sports, animation, and youth. Most of them only have two types, one is comedy and the other is drama.
A costume film directed by a big-budget star."
"Mr. Lu got it right. One of the biggest shortcomings of Chinese-language films right now is imitating and following trends. Whatever becomes popular will be filmed."
Tong Gang looked serious.
"What's the problem? Is there a lack of money? There's no shortage of money. There's plenty of money flowing into the film industry now. I don't know how many new companies have been opened. What's missing is direction, talent, and projects."
Lu Fei pushed the cup in front of Liu Shishi.
Liu Shishi didn't dare to desert any more, and he heard Han Sanping sigh in his ears: "There are too few talents. There are few geniuses like Jiang Wen and Ning Hao. Most of the sixth generation directors resist commercial films. Now the one who takes the lead is Zhang Yimou."
,Feng pants..."
"So we need to guide capital to explore more projects and potential directors, such as investing in Wu Jing and Guo Fan who have just returned from Hollywood. When the time comes, Tong Ju and Director Han will need more support."
Lu Fei crossed his legs and crossed his hands.
"I'm sure, I wonder what type they are planning to shoot?" Han Sanping couldn't help but wonder.
"I discussed with Yuanyuan and let them do a small cooperation first, so that they can accumulate experience in shooting and crewing before doing something bigger."
Lu Fei knocked on the table, "The tentative project is "Source Code", a soft science fiction film directed by Guo Fan and starring Wu Jing. The script is already being written. Is China Film interested in investing in it?"
Han Sanping realized that it was a gift in return for the approval of "Let the Bullets Fly". When he agreed, he reciprocated the favor and mentioned that China Film Group was also taking the lead in producing a gift film called "The Great Cause of Construction".
Hantang can participate in the investment in the name of limited partnership.
Liu Shishi poured the tea silently, then saw Lu immediately agreed, "It is obligatory to invest in the gift film. How much does Mr. Han want to invest?"
"This is also a headache for us."
Han Sanping and Tong Gang looked at each other, shook their heads and laughed.
There are more than 170 characters in the whole movie, and auditioning alone takes a lot of time. If you choose one from three or five people, you have to interview more than 500 actors. The key is not the most troublesome.
The biggest problem is the pay.
"With so many actors, including movie kings and queens, the salary is sky-high. According to the market price, they should be paid at least 800 million yuan. Even if the salary is cut in half, they will still be paid 400 million yuan."
Han Sanping sighed.
"Is there anyone willing to star in the show for zero pay?"
Lu Fei looked left and right.
"Zero pay?!"
Tong Gang and the two raised their eyebrows.
"Celebrate your mother's birthday. It is the duty of a child to show filial piety, let alone remuneration." Lu Fei glanced at Zhong Lifang.
"That's right!"
Zhong Lifang understood it well, "As long as Tong Ju, Han Dong, Han Tang and other actors can be used, no matter whether the scenes are long or the scenes are few, they will not be paid, and we will make guest appearances."
yes!
I've already given you a role, why should I pay you back?
Tong Gang and Han Sanping's ideas suddenly opened up.
Han Sanping smiled and said: "I have remembered this relationship between the Han and Tang Dynasties. I wonder if Mr. Lu would like to make a cameo in the movie?"
"I have a lot to do, so I want to focus on my career."
Lu Fei declined politely: "What do you think of Shishi?"
Facing everyone's gaze, Master Liu held his breath, his fingertips trembled, and he almost poured the tea out again.
"I think there's no problem. There are several important roles suitable for her." Han Sanping looked up and down.
"Isn't it too forced?" Lu Fei asked.
"No, because time is tight and the task is heavy. In the end, San Ping and the others reached a consensus that we would not pick any of them at all, and let them hire whoever they think is good, except for special actors."
Tong Gang had a smile on his face.
"We can also thank Han and Tang for taking the lead in supporting China Film with zero remuneration. As long as we can let Cheng Long and Jet Li set an example, the remuneration problem will be solved and the investment cost will not be hundreds of millions."
Han Sanping said: "Maybe tens of millions can be taken!"
"I think they will definitely agree."
Lu Feixiao said: "Like the Android Open Alliance, Samsung, Sony, Motorola and other manufacturers, who joins is very important, but like Nokia and Lianxiang, who doesn't join is even more important."
"..."
Both Tong Gang and Han Sanping could hear murderous intent in their words.
Showing off your arrogance!
Master Liu secretly glanced at Lu Fei, feeling confused and dazed.
After chatting for a while, the tea cooled and they left.
Lu Fei asked Zhong Lifang to send Tong Gang and Han Sanping out of the company on his behalf, and soon he and Liu Shishi were left in the huge living room.
"I'm sorry just now."
Master Liu lowered his head and twirled his fingers.
"Just be careful not to desert next time."
Lu Fei poured the remaining tea soup into the drainage channel of the tea tray.
"Let me come, let me come."
Master Liu came up and put away the tea set, "Also, there is "The Great Cause of Construction", thank you, Lu..."
"Perform well, don't think you are not serious if you have less scenes and less scenes. Treat every performance as the last one. Recently, Yang Mi is filming "33 Days After Love", what about you?"
Lu Fei glanced at her.
"Me? I'm pretty good."
Liu Shishi packed up absently, "Although I haven't found a chick script that suits me yet, there are two female-led dramas waiting for me, "The Strange Man Yizhimei" and "Step by Step Scary Heart", especially the second one,
I feel like it was written just for me!”
"That's good."
Lu Fei picked up the mobile phone on the table and turned around.
Watching him walk into the small reception room on the left, Master Liu's eyes were bright and his mind was filled with images of his back that had been beautified by filters.
"Why can't you talk to me more?"
"Master Liu, Master Liu, what qualifications do you have to ask him to talk to you more? Who are you to him?"
She talked to herself, feeling sorry for herself.
There is definitely no comparison between Zeng Li and Gao Yuanyuan.
As for Yang Mi, she is considered to be his schoolmate. She looks like a "senior" in one word and short in another word like a "senpai" in other words. What's more, she is more than just a school girl.
Jing Tian is a god-sister who is closer than her biological sister.
There is only me, but my grandfather formed a friendship with Lu Fei in Taoranting Park and entrusted him to be taken into the entertainment industry to take care of him.
Even compared with Gaolu, he is still at a disadvantage.
After all, Gao Lu is 67% like Gao Yuanyuan.
"Why are you always so rational and cold-blooded about me? Why? Do you also like..."
She couldn't help but pick up the glass cup he drank from, poured herself a cup, and put it into her mouth by accident.
"Hey, Master!"
Suddenly, Yang Mi's shrill voice came from behind.
Liu Shishi groaned and was startled. He saw the teacup close to his lips and put it down in a panic as if he was waking up from a dream.
"Pfft, you're still so easily scared!"
Yang Mi showed a mischievous smile as if she had succeeded in a prank.
"I'm scared to death, Mimi, what are you doing?"
Master Liu looked like a thief who had been interrupted by a theft, with a resentful look in his eyes.
Yang Mi casually put her arms around her shoulders, but said in a sour tone: "Master, I heard that you poured tea and made a film appointment?"
"Just a guest appearance."
Master Liu said everything in detail.
"Ah? Zero pay?"
Yang Mi was startled: "Am I also going to make a guest appearance?"
"Stop 'ah'. Even Sister Zeng Li and Sister Hailu are paid zero. Brother Lu said that no one can ask for this kind of role. We should be content if we can appear in the movie."
Master Liu rolled his eyes, "What more salary do you need!"
News of the preparations for the filming of "The Founding of the People's Republic of China" spread in the industry early in the morning, and many actors and even celebrities have signed up.
And when the rumor that Han and Tang were about to invest, and Mr. Lu personally named the investment, was "accidentally" leaked,
Beijing Circle, Hong Kong Circle, Shanghai Circle, Northwest Circle...
The entire entertainment industry was shaken instantly.
Not only the phone, but also the threshold of Han Sanping's office has to be crossed by big names from all walks of life, with dozens of people vying for the same role.
The big bosses in the industry who were still maintaining their airs could no longer hold on, and they all left the show, fighting for their roles.
It can even be as low-key as leaving a supporting role.
After all, how many people want to kneel but don’t have the means to do so!
Youdao means that there is no road in the world. If you have legs, you will have a road.
Holding Han Sanping's thigh, at least there is no need to worry about domestic entertainment.
Hug Mr. Lu's thigh, Hollywood is beckoning.
Fan Erbing, Li Shuangbing, Zhou Xun, Chen Kun, Huang Xiaoming, Liu Dehua, etc. all proposed themselves, but Han Sanping directly said that the production funds were insufficient, and those who came to act could only get zero pay.
If you don’t get zero pay, you can just throw it away!
Once this statement came out, it was even more outrageous.
Not only did he not frighten Cheng Long, Jet Li, Jiang Wen and others into quitting, they even paid for work in order to get a few seconds of the camera.
If you lose, it's your own fault.
If you make a profit, you just need to pay back the principal.
There are more generous ones, even the principal is not required!
However, just like this, Zhou Xingchi almost failed to be selected. Like Cheng Long, he was assigned an unnamed supporting role, but faced the interview without any complaints——
"You still have a choice? You can act whatever the director wants you to act."
"Even if you ask me to jump off the mountain, I will jump."
Even Zhou Xingchi was treated like this, and the other actors simply didn't choose. They acted whatever they were given.
After all, there is a saying that has been circulating in the circle:
Han Sanping and Mr. Lu don’t think it matters who participates.
Who doesn’t participate is very important!
Soon, more than 100 characters will be recruited.
"The total investment is only 30 million? The Han and Tang Dynasties did not take advantage. As long as one-fifth of the investment, 6 million is enough."
"..."
"Haha, that's great, Director Han, but I have to remind you that you only choose suitable actors, not expensive ones!"
Lu Fei smiled and hung up the phone with Han Sanping.
"Xue, senior, are you leaving?"
Feeling the blindfold being taken off, Yang Mi slowly got out of her dazed state, her limp body slid down from the table, and she took the initiative to clean it.
"Um."
Lu Fei snorted coldly from his nose.
"I'm sorry... I'm too willful, senior. No matter what the role is, I will play it even if I don't get paid!"
She looked longingly at the man putting on his clothes without saying a word, her eyes frightened, and she hurriedly made a croaking sound to please him.
"It's okay. I never force others. You don't have to accept the roles you don't want to take, and you don't have to accept the endorsements you don't want to take."
Lu Fei put the watch on his wrist.
"Senior, are you talking about 'Xiaomi'? I accepted the endorsement! I also shot the commercial! I will also go to the press conference the day after tomorrow!"
Yang Mi jumped up and hugged his legs.
With the accumulation of "Sword and Fairy 1", "Painted Skin", "Search", etc., I finally had a big hit in "Sword and Fairy 3".
Among her own "Tang Xuejian", Jing Tian's "Zixuan", and Liu Shishi's "Solanum Solanum", her popularity is slightly higher than Jing Tian's!
The current popularity and popularity are the dominant presence among the entire post-85s generation, and even the entire new generation.
Moreover, the chick-lit movie she stars in, "33 Days After Love", will be released on Double Eleven. If it can beat the 186 million of "The King of Kung Fu", it will completely surpass Liu Yifei.
True to her name, she is the first of the four little beauties.
What kind of brand is "Xiaomi" worthy of me being the spokesperson?!
"Oh, do you think Xiaomi is not good enough for you?"
Lu Fei glanced condescendingly.
"I'm not, I don't have it. I'm just happy. The senior doesn't give it to Shishi or Tiantian, but he thinks of giving it to me."
Yang Mi suddenly felt Ji moving deep in her heart.
"It's good to know."
"I just want to know why you chose me?"
"You can ask Mr. Lei on the day of the press conference."
Lu Fei quickly packed up and walked straight out the door without even looking at her.
"Senior, you will also go to the press conference the day after tomorrow, right?"
As soon as he finished speaking, the man closed the door from the outside. Regardless of the rope, Yang Mi tripped and ran to the window: "Senior, I'm waiting for you!"
Watch him get into the car until he leaves.
"You are always so domineering. You are not like this to Shishi or Tiantian." Yang Mi said this, but her body was very honest.
I walked to the closet in despair and carefully selected the high-end clothes I should wear on the day of the Xiaomi press conference. It would definitely surprise everyone.
On March 6th, God was not kind.
Early in the morning, it started drizzling.
The location is in the 798 Art District, where Qilixiang started its business in Longxing. Although all the factory equipment has been moved away, Lu Yun still bought the factory premises and built it into Qilixiang's corporate history museum. As for the extra space——
It was converted into a conference hall that can be rented out.
"Really, this rain is so annoying~"
"Senior, why haven't you come yet..."
Yang Mi came very early and stayed in the lounge depressedly.
After a while, laughter and footsteps sounded in the corridor. He immediately opened the door and stuck his head out. He saw Lei Jun holding Lu Fei's hand and chatting enthusiastically. It was a very pleasant conversation.
"Mr. Lu, thanks to you, without you, we would not have been able to rent such a large place at this price. Thank you!"
Although Yang Mi was unhappy about being left alone in the rest room, she felt proud from the bottom of her heart when she saw Lei Jun respecting Lu Fei so much.
"I think the rent for the venue is small. You can rent a bigger one." Lu Fei let go of his tightly held hand.
"No, no, I'm still worried that there won't be enough seats by then. We just urgently discussed a plan. If there are too few people, we'll shout in the streets, publicize it on Weibo, and talk about it online!"
Lei Jun grinned and said, "Just say, 'Mr. Lu is here.'"
"You should promote it before the press conference, but it doesn't matter. There is also Yang Mi. Don't underestimate her influence."
Lu Fei directed the topic to Yang Mi, who was treated as air.
"Yes, yes, Miss Yang is quite popular among young people. Now is an era when young people are the main consumers. The main target of Xiaomi 1 is young people..."
Only then did Lei Jun realize that he had neglected his spokesperson Yang Mi.
Seeing the two of them talking about each other, Lu Fei smiled and said nothing. There was actually no need for Xiaomi to find a spokesperson.
Just like Logic and Apple, they are completely tied to the founders, and Lei Jun is Xiaomi’s best spokesperson.
At this moment, there was another commotion outside the lounge.
After asking, I found out that the number of people attending the venue, which was originally 500 people, had doubled, to almost 9,000.
"Mr. Lu, Miss Yang, let me go out and take a look."
Lei Jun was overjoyed and immediately went out to stabilize the situation.
When he left completely, Yang Mi curled her lips: "What, how could Xiaomi be more suitable for my image than Logic and Shenzhou? Senior, do you think I am right?"
"You don't match Shenzhou's style. Shenzhou doesn't need to be flashy, nor does it need a beautiful product manager."
"Yes, really?"
Yang Mi felt depressed and opened her mouth.
Lu Fei patted her face and said, "Don't think that 'Xiaomi' is not worthy of you, you will soon know who is not worthy of whom."
