If we use positions to describe the Jiangbei family, Li Youqing is the incompetent and powerful lord, while Jiangbei is the treacherous minister below who is extremely intelligent and works both covertly and covertly. As for the gambling king Zhang Jiuliang, he is a stupid thug under the treacherous minister.
The kind of thing that fails more than succeeds.
However, fortunately, there was an incompetent lord at home, a treacherous minister in power, and help from relatives outside, who were even more powerful. In the end, the two sides barely managed to draw a tie, or to vaguely gain some upper hand.
Whether this advantage can be turned into the final absolute advantage depends on whether the next film can completely hit the market and send Jiang Bei's career as a director and Li Youqing's career as an actor away.
In late April, after losing the chance to make his debut again, Li Youqing shifted his focus to preparing to shoot a new movie for Jiangbei. With the secret support of the traitor Li Shushuang, Jiangbei had no choice but to agree to shoot the last script on the bookshelf in his study -
- "Love Before Dawn".
The three scripts "Love Before Dawn", "This Man is from the Earth", and "Don't Stop the Camera" were written by Jiang Bei in pursuit of making his first pot of gold after coming to the Blue Star.
Their types are different, but what is absolutely the same is that the investment costs of these three movies are relatively low. The most expensive one is "Before Dawn", with an investment cost of 2.5 million.
Dollar.
In fact, the cost of this movie can still be reduced, because the entire movie almost revolves around the male and female protagonists, with other actors having too few roles, and there are no big scenes throughout the movie.
It's somewhat similar to "This Man Is From Earth", the only difference is that this time it's a romance film.
Of course, compared with "The Man from Earth", the box office return of "Before Dawn" is not worth mentioning. In the previous life, with an investment of 2.5 million US dollars, it only made 20 million.
Dollar.
But with a box office return rate of eight times, for a romantic literary film, this movie is undoubtedly extremely successful.
After all, the production of artistic films is almost always linked to losses.
Um.
However, a good script alone is not enough for a literary film. It also tests the director's directing skills and requires greater maneuverability.
So this is why Jiang Bei is confident to screw up this movie, and he doesn't need to worry about others discovering that he is causing trouble in secret.
Perfect plan.
"There should be no problem this time, right?" Jiang Bei said to himself, looking at the script in his hand.
"Impossible."
"Huh?" Jiang Bei frowned and looked up at Ancheng Gambling King with a murderous look in his eyes.
"How can he control my plane? It's impossible!" The gambling king didn't realize his brother's eyes and looked at the phone screen with disbelief. Just now she typed JJJJQQQQ plane, but was hit by the AAA47 plane on the opposite side.
It's under control!
Incredible.
There is no cure.
Jiang Bei twitched his lips when he heard this, turned his head back silently, lowered his head and continued to stare at the script in his hand.
In the living room, the gambling king of Anseong cursed again, but it soon became quiet again.
The sudden silence made Jiang Bei a little uncomfortable. He couldn't help but look up again and found that his cool eyes were full of thoughts and doubts.
"What's wrong?"
Liangliang gnawed her fingers and replied: "I got the news that Mu Feibai is investigating you, brother."
"Investigating me?" Jiang Bei frowned, then suddenly thought about the previous video shooting incident, and said helplessly: "Sure enough, I am being remembered."
"Hehe...it's okay, I will help my brother handle these things." Liangliang promised, patting her chest.
Isn't that what it should be?
Jiang Bei curled his lips, took a look at the time, got up and walked to the kitchen to prepare for cooking.
But what he never expected was that the trouble in this matter was far more than that.
Columbus (China) Film and Television.
Mu Feibai is checking personal information about Jiangbei.
In fact, there is nothing to see.
Nothing more than a piece of trash.
No degree.
No background.
The only thing I have some ability is that I can write a few scripts, and then rely on luck to open a hot pot restaurant chain brand.
"Is he preparing for his second movie?" At the end, Mu Feibai found something worthy of attention and asked with a frown.
Assistant Xiaomi nodded slightly when she heard this: "Yes, according to the investigation, this movie has been approved by Yihe Film and Television Entertainment, and the screenwriter and director are both from Jiangbei."
Xiaomi paused, glanced at her boss secretly, and added: "I heard this is a literary film."
"Literary film?" Mu Feibai was stunned, and then a bit of a smile appeared on his face: "It's really interesting."
In just a few words, assistant Xiaomi understood the meaning and lowered her head silently.
"When do they plan to start filming?" The office was silent for a moment, and Mu Feibai asked thoughtfully.
"The news is that at the end of this month, the filming cycle is expected to be one month, and it seems that it is planned to be released in the summer." Assistant Xiaomi said softly.
Mu Feibai held his chin and thought for a moment, then ordered: "Go and tell Deputy Director Liu that the company's new movie preparations are speeding up. I want to start filming before the end of the month."
"Mu always wants to..." Assistant Xiaomi said hesitantly.
Mu Feibai stood up and walked to the glass window to look down, and said with confidence in his eyes: "Let this guy named Jiangbei be a stepping stone for me to rise in the Chinese entertainment industry."
...
In mid-April, Yihe Film and Television Entertainment officially held a press conference to announce plans for a new movie - "Love Before Dawn".
Since the new movie is written and directed by the recently popular "The Man from the Blue Star", the new movie has attracted great attention from fans as soon as it was announced, and even launched a "Love in" campaign on Weibo.
Before Dawn" topic.
"Oh, Mr. Jiang is very efficient! Preparations for a new movie have already begun."
"It is self-written and directed again. Mr. Jiang is so talented! I love it."
"But it's actually a romantic literary film. I have to say that Mr. Jiang's burden is a bit heavy. Is there still a market for domestic literary films now?"
"It doesn't matter whether it's a literary film or not, I would like to ask if the heroine of this movie is a tsundere!"
"That's right, Director Jiang, why don't you just play the male lead yourself and let Xiaoyou play the female lead? What a great husband-and-wife team, we will definitely go to the cinema to support them!"
"Speaking of which, I haven't seen any work by Aojiaoyou for a long time, ever since the hot pot promotional video last year."
"yes......"
It has to be said that Li Youqing has really made a name for himself in the entertainment industry in the past few years. After being hidden by Erjing Film and Television for more than half a year, many people on the Internet are still thinking about him. Especially because Jiangbei's fame as her husband has also made Li Youqing famous again.
It was exposed.
Xiao Nizi was very happy about this and felt more and more that what she did was right.
At this time, another domestic film and television company, Columbus (China) Film and Television, also announced a filming plan. The first film directed by international young director Mu Feibai, a disciple of the famous Star Award-winning director, after returning to China - "Love in Dilemma"
》The project was approved and filming started.
And it is also a literary film.
But most people don't take it seriously and don't connect the two.
Only Jiang Bei was dumbfounded for a long time after hearing the news, and finally hid in the room and laughed out loud.
