Chapter Three Hundred and Sixty Great Shame! Month
On November 11, Lu Chuan had almost completed the preparatory work for the movie "The King's Feast".
I have been conceiving the script since last year, and have been fully preparing for "South View, South View" since the completion of the painting. Now more than half a year has passed.
The "Hongmen Banquet" scene studio at Guang Huairou Film and Television Base has been pushed to rebuild again and again, and the location of the location has been moved to different locations several times.
Now there is still one month left for the movie to finally start shooting.
The leading actors have almost all been confirmed, and there are four or five investors this time, all of whom want to insert a few characters.
Ying Huang originally wanted his own actor Xie Tingfeng to play Xiang Yu, but Lu Chuan refused, so he had no choice but to retreat and recommend Wu Yanzu.
Wu Yanzu is not a person from Yinghuang, but he is an actor in Xiangjiang. He is from a bigger place and belongs to the same circle.
Zhang Zhen plays Han Xin, one of the three heroes of the early Han Dynasty, Sha Yi plays Xiao He, Qidao plays Zhang Liang, his girlfriend Qin Lan plays Lu Pheasant, and Nie Yuan plays Xiang Zhuang.
Now the only one left is Liu Bang, Taizu of the Han Dynasty. He had already negotiated all the benefits with Liu Ye before, and the two sides cooperated very well in "Nanjing Nanjing".
Last night Lu Chuan received a call from Chang Jihong, saying that he had something to discuss and made an appointment at a nearby hotel.
Lu Chuan didn't think much about it, thinking that they had other requirements for treatment, so he packed up in the morning and went to the appointment.
"Sister Hong, Liu Ye."
"Hello, Director Lu."
The two parties greeted each other familiarly.
Lu Chuan casually sat down next to her and asked with a smile, "Sister Hong, do you have any other requests this time? As long as the crew can do it, I will definitely satisfy it."
Liu Ye's face looked a little unnatural. The remuneration and all the benefits had been negotiated, and he suddenly changed his mind about not filming. He was a little embarrassed.
However, Chang Jihong, as an old man in the circle, was much calmer than him. She smiled and said, "Director Lu, thank you very much for giving Liu Ye this opportunity. The role of the male lead in a big production is very unusual.
.”
"Sister Hong, you're welcome. Liu Ye's acting skills are among the best among the Mesozoic actors in China. He performed very well in "Nanjing Nanjing"."
"I still have to thank Director Lu for fighting for it," Chang Jihong said repeatedly.
After chatting for a while, Chang Jihong finally explained his intention.
"But Director Lu, we may not be able to cooperate this time."
As soon as these words were spoken, the air suddenly solidified, and no sound could be heard in the entire hotel box.
Lu Chuan looked at Chang Jihong in disbelief. He originally thought that Liu Ye had other requirements, such as being treated better than other actors on the set.
But I never expected that Chang Jihong would say that he could no longer cooperate.
What does this mean?
Rejected?
This is the leading male lead in a large-scale costume production with an investment of nearly 100 million. Liu Ye is not Zhou Runfa. A leading male lead of this level is a role that no one can grab, and he actually refused!
Lu Chuan suppressed the anger in his heart and his tone became cold.
"Liu Ye, what's going on?"
He didn't ask Chang Jihong. That old woman had been in the entertainment industry for nearly 20 years. In comparison, Liu Ye, an actor, was much younger.
"Director Lu, I'm really sorry. I also want to star in this movie, but there is no schedule now." Liu Ye said sheepishly.
In the final analysis, Liu Ye was unkind and everything was agreed upon, only to change his mind in the end.
But no matter who it is, they will make the same choice without thinking about it at all.
Lu Chuan understood immediately upon hearing this, and asked, "Have you accepted other films?"
Liu Ye and Chang Jihong looked at each other, and Chang Jihong replied for him, "Director Lu, a few days ago Director Tang An invited Liu Ye to play the leading role in a new film. He is a tough guy. You also know that Liu Ye is transforming. "
The movie "The King's Feast" is closer to the style of drama and opera, and the character of Liu Bang better expresses his inner changes throughout his life..."
Chang Jihong tried her best to find a better excuse, and she didn't hide the fact that she had accepted Tang An's new drama. She would find out sooner or later.
If we don’t say it now, when Tang An announces the actors, Lu Chuan will definitely be even more angry when he finds out.
But now, most of Lu Chuan's anger will definitely be directed at Tang An.
But excuses are just excuses after all. Lu Chuan didn't even pay attention to the second half of her words. He only heard the previous statement that Liu Ye had taken over Tang An's new film!
What a shame!
The actor we had agreed with ran off to take a role from another director, let alone his enemy!
If Liu Ye took over Zhang Yimou's film, Lu Chuan would have nothing to say.
But now it's Tang An's new movie, doesn't it mean that in Liu Ye's heart, Lu Chuan's movies are far less important than Tang An!
It's like a young couple taking their household registrations to the Civil Affairs Bureau to get their certificates. When they get to the door, a man suddenly runs out and says he wants to marry your girlfriend.
Then your girlfriend agreed, and the two of them went to get the certificate!
If it's the son of leader Guo Jia, or the son of the richest man, that's fine. No woman can refuse. The key is that this man is not much better than you!
Lu Chuan felt a burning pain on his face. The good mood he had been in during this period was instantly gone, and his hatred for Tang An deepened even more!
Not wanting to stay any longer, he stood up and walked away.
"Then I wish you good luck!"
Lu Chuan angrily slammed the door and left, leaving Chang Jihong and Liu Ye smiling bitterly.
Liu Ye sighed, "If I had known that I would not take on "The King's Feast", I would have offended Director Lu in vain."
The bad relationship between Tang An and Lu Chuan does not mean that Liu Ye must be on the opposite side of Lu Chuan if he makes a movie about Tang An, unless the relationship is deep enough.
"Okay, don't think so much. Seize this opportunity. The fitness team I've found for you has arrived. Let's meet and formulate a fitness plan for you."
...
Wang Zhongjun from Huayi also knew about Tang An's choice for the male lead. Although he was not one of his own actors, he had no objections.
For other supporting roles, including the general and several other soldiers from the protagonist's class, Tang An also asked Hua Yi to select some actors with different styles who could play soldiers.
The script has been reviewed for a month, but Optoelectronics has not approved it yet, so the project has not been approved for the time being.
On November 12th, another big event happened in the entertainment industry!
Poly Group announced that it will transfer 50% of the shares of Poly Huayi Media, which is the Poly Culture Group originally owned by Poly. Its subsidiaries include Oriental Shenlong Film Company, 15% of the shares of Xinbaoyuan, 20% of the shares of British Film and Television, Qian
Think Advertising Company.
Six years ago, the peace between Poly Culture and Peking University Huayi became the largest merger and acquisition in the cultural industry. Now with the separation of Bernard, Poly Huayi's revenue in the film and television business is almost zero, and there is also a huge loss in advertising.
piece!
After a year of losses, Poly decided to abandon the film and television industry and completely switch to terminal theater construction.
Tang An got the news immediately. Poly kept the theater chain and tourism TV, and sold other assets to the outside world.
According to the current market value, it is worth about 350 million, but it has been basically at a loss this year, and basically no one will accept it.
As soon as the news came out, Tang An immediately asked Xu Manyun to mortgage all the remaining 160 houses, borrowing 92% of the total price, a total of 275 million!
The box office revenue of "The Chinese Partner" and "The Sword Seems Laughing", plus TV rights, a total of 74 million has also been accounted for.
The total available cash is 350 million!
The proceeds from "Journey to Thailand" can still be used to loan tens of millions, and "Painted Skin 2" must be quickly approved. At that time, you can also go to the bank to borrow a sum of money.

PS: Suddenly I can’t think of how to write the business part. I will briefly summarize it later. Forgive me for being an ignorant person...
