Chapter 55 Jiangbei: I want to help the friendly army increase the odds of winning
The teammates did come.
Under the deliberate promotion of Columbus Film and Television, "Love in Dilemma" and "Love Before Dawn" were announced to be filmed at almost the same time.
Especially when a reporter at the film press conference mentioned whether the film and "Before Dawn" would be shot at the same time as there might be a collision. As the director of the film, Mu Feibai bluntly said that he was not afraid of "Before Dawn" and would consider it accordingly.
After considering competing with the film and deciding that "Love in Dilemma" would be the ultimate winner, an inexplicable smoke began to permeate the entire entertainment industry.
[Columbus Film and Television is coming in force, not afraid of the new work of the director of "The Man from the Blue Star".]
[International young director Mu Feibai threatened to be the ultimate winner.]
[Literary films also have invisible smoke. 】
The media did not take it too seriously and began to use some provocative titles to attract the attention of movie fans. Under this trend, the early popularity of the two movies was also raised to a high level, which can be regarded as becoming popular before they were filmed.
However, no matter how high the heat caused by the outside world, there was no response from Jiangbei, and they hid in their nests and worked hard.
As we all know, the first thing you have to do if you want to make a movie is to collect the funds for the filming. Since Jiangbei made a lot of money from his last movie, many investors hope to get involved in his new movie, so
Don't worry about this.
Of course, the new movie does not require the participation of other capital at all, because the investment cost of this movie is only 4 million, not to mention Yihe Film and Television Entertainment, even Li Youqing himself can finance it.
And whether it is Yihe Investment or Li Youqing Investment, the money is just a left hand exchange for a right hand.
There is no need to worry about funds, so naturally it is the preparation of the crew, the recruitment of actors and other tedious matters. These are all taken care of by the enthusiastic Li Youqing, and he is busy every day.
"Beibei, who do you plan to find to play the leading role?"
"Whatever, but it's best to be a newcomer. We can't afford celebrities."
"Then let me collect some information about newcomers in the entertainment industry in the past few years and show it to you. In addition, the crew should still use the configuration of the previous movie? I think Director Wan Xian still has the ability."
"If he was good, he wouldn't have stayed in Yihe for so many years without being able to make a film or TV series."
"Oh! Director Wan Xian didn't meet Bole! Maybe Beibei, you will be his Bole from now on. By the way, Sister Sui Xi also called me and asked me if she wanted a supporting role?"
"I don't think it's good. With such a big name as a movie queen, it's easy to steal the show."
In the office of Yihe Film and Television Entertainment, in the office of the new director Jiang Bei, Li Youqing was holding information while discussing matters related to the new movie with Jiang Bei.
But Xiao Nizi said it seriously, but the old man didn't listen so carefully.
Look at these people, they want to go through the back door every day, rub the director, rub the role, and it's not shameful at all. As a future star with a fair and just heart, Jiangbei must reject these people.
outside the door.
"What you said makes sense." This reason was indeed recognized by Li Youqing, so he did not continue, but changed the topic and said: "There is another particularly interesting thing that I wanted to talk about before.
Columbus Film and Television, which signed the contract, also announced that it has started filming a literary film, and the director is Mu Feibai, the famous disciple's disciple. Unfortunately, I was not able to reach a cooperation with Columbus Film and Television in the end, otherwise I might still be able to get a role."
When she said this, Li Youqing's eyes were full of longing and regret. Unknowingly, she had not released a new film or television drama for more than a year.
I miss you so much.
"Why do you still want to compete in the ring with your husband?" Jiang Bei teased with a smile.
Nowadays, there are endless news about the two literary films from the outside world. Without any statement from both parties, it has turned into an arena battle. Therefore, if Li Youqing is to star in "Love in Dilemma", it will be a husband and wife confrontation.
"Then it didn't work out! And I feel that the reason why Mu Feibai criticized your new movie might have something to do with this contract signing." Li Youqing said.
In fact, her idea is reasonable.
First of all, neither of them knew Mu Feibai, so it was impossible for them to have a grudge before. The only connection they had was the fact that Columbus Film and Television had failed to sign a contract with her before.
And based on the impression she had when she met Mu Feibai several times, he was unruly, arrogant and overly conceited, so it was not surprising that he could do such a thing.
"What's the point? If you really want to act, you can play my heroine. It's all a literary film anyway, so there's no need to feel pity." Jiang Bei didn't take it seriously, lying comfortably on his wife's lap and said
Afterwards, he leaned over and kissed the tender white thigh, with a look of enjoyment on his face.
Summer is really a refreshing and transparent season.
like.
"Oh! You're going to die!" Li Youqing was so alert that he was kissed, she glared at him with her beautiful eyes and said angrily.
Although they are already an old couple, Xiao Nizi, who is easily shy, can't let go. Naturally, she can't stand the old man's casual frivolity.
Fortunately, Jiang Bei didn't want to do anything, so he grinned and didn't refute.
Li Youqing calmed down the tension in his heart, lightly brushed the hair beside his ear, and returned to the topic: "Actually, I also want to be the heroine in your novel, but now there is a lot of tension between me and Erjing Film and Television.
The big problem is that if you go and film it, it will be a breach of contract, and it may prevent your new movie from being released."
It's better if it can't be shown.
This way he doesn't have to work hard to make bad movies.
How nice.
Thinking of this, Jiang Bei held Xiao Nizi's hand and replied: "It's okay, as long as you like it, it's worth it even if the movie doesn't come out."
"Tsk, tsk, you've started to learn how to talk about love." Li Youqing clicked his tongue, looking surprised.
Jiang Bei shrugged, looking cheeky.
"But that's not possible. How can you treat millions of dollars like a joke? And I think this work of yours has great potential, and maybe it can make a lot of money." For Li Youqing, who is a little money lover, she is a millionaire.
It's impossible to spend millions on such a joke.
Jiangbei naturally knew this, so he didn't think this method could succeed from the beginning.
What you have to rely on is your own shooting techniques and timely assists from friendly forces.
Um.
You must always pay attention to the progress of friendly forces.
In the following days, besides busy preparing for the crew with Li Youqing every day, Jiang Bei secretly asked Liang Liang about the progress of the friendly forces.
"Liangliang, how is the preparation progress for my brother Feibai's movie?"
"Preliminary preparations went quite smoothly, but I heard that Mu Feibai planned to ask the blue actor Xu Hanzhou to play the leading role, but he rejected it. Mu Feibai was very unhappy about this."
"Why did Xu Hanzhou refuse? Is it because of the salary?" Jiang Bei asked with a frown.
Xu Hanzhou is the blue actor. Although he was up and down for eight years, these eight years brought him many rich life experiences, which made his acting skills even better. In addition, he filmed "This Man Comes From" earlier.
"Blue Star" is very popular. If you can join Columbus Film and Television Company, you will definitely be able to contribute to the movie "Love in Dilemma" and increase the chance of winning.
"Isn't that right? It is said that the remuneration offered by Columbus Film and Television was the market price, and Xu Hanzhou did not suffer at all." Liang Liang replied on the phone.
It's not a salary issue.
Then there is no problem.
Jiang Bei thought for a while and said: "In this case, you go to Xu Hanzhou to find out the situation, find out why he rejected my brother Fei Bai's new movie, and let him accept it if possible."
Xu Hanzhou is a contracted artist under Erjing Film and Television, and he also gave him a favor in the first place. Logically speaking, the other party should give him this favor.
As long as Xu Hanzhou participates in Mu Feibai's "Love in Dilemma", then he has a 30% chance of winning.
So this favor must be done.
"Okay, brother, I'll go find Xu Hanzhou to find out the situation." Liangliang responded quickly.
...
Erjing Group Building.
With two years of development, Erjing Group has now become a large-scale enterprise with abundant talents. In addition to the growing popularity of Canadian brand clothing, Erjing Film and Television, and Erjing Cinema Line have also performed well in recent years.
Tengteng has been on the rise, attracting many well-known artists in the entertainment industry to join.
But when it comes to who the first brother and the first sister are in Erjing Film and Television, everyone within the company knows very well.
First brother: Xu Hanzhou.
First sister: Li Youqing.
Of course, for the latter, everyone has not seen this most popular artist in the entertainment industry in recent years in the company for a long time. Some time ago, there were rumors in the company that Li Youqing was banned by the top management, but the next day the employee was directly banned.
The company announced the dismissal, and no one within the company dared to discuss the matter.
As for the first brother, we can often see him, especially after filming the recent box office hit "This Man Comes from the Blue Star", Xu Hanzhou's position as the first brother in Erjing Film and Television has gradually become stable, and almost no one can shake it.
This is how society is. The more valuable you are, the more your leaders will value you. As Xu Hanzhou's commercial value continues to increase, his status and treatment within Erjing Film and Television have also steadily increased. Recently, the company's senior management has assigned Xu Hanzhou the highest standard of artist rest.
room, but was rejected by him because he did not want to take up too much company resources.
But the actual reason is only known to Xu Hanzhou himself. He does not want his lounge to be larger than the first sister Li Youqing.
This is not a dog-licking behavior, but a kind of respect for the benefactor.
"Hanzhou, Columbus Film and Television called. They hope you can reconsider the cooperation. They can increase the salary by another 20%." The agent Wu Tianzhen walked down at this time, still holding the office phone in his hand.
Apparently it just hung up for a while.
Xu Hanzhou smiled when he heard this and replied: "Sister Wu, please help me reject them. This is not a matter of money. As for cooperation, we will talk about it later."
"Why? Columbus is a global film and television company. Even if we don't value the money, getting to know this kind of global film company will be absolutely harmless to your acting career! Maybe it can also help you go abroad.
, the stepping stone to Hollywood." Agent Wu Tianzhen asked with a puzzled look on her face. She never understood why Xu Hanzhou so firmly refused to cooperate with Columbus Film and Television.
Xu Hanzhou just smiled and shook his head, but did not say the specific reason.
Seeing this, Wu Tianzhen frowned and said, "Hanzhou, I can't listen to you on this matter. I have already told Manager Zuo."
Although company artists have the freedom to choose external roles, if the company insists on intervening, the artists have no choice but to obey because there is a contract.
"Sister Wu, you are making things difficult for me." Xu Hanzhou said with a bitter smile.
"I'm sorry, I did it for your own good." Wu Tianzhen said apologetically.
After saying that, her cell phone rang.
"Hey, Manager Zuo. Okay, I'll let him go right now."
After hanging up the phone, Wu Tianzhen said to Xu Hanzhou: "Manager Zuo is looking for you."
General Manager's Office of Erjing Film and Television.
You and Xu Hanzhou are sitting across from each other. On the left is a slim secretary in uniform, half-kneeling and making tea. The secretary is young and looks very supple. She has delicate makeup on her face and exudes an alluring charm.
smell.
Unfortunately, neither Zuoyou nor Xu Hanzhou took a glance at her. It seemed that the tea on the table attracted their attention more than the beautiful woman.
"Why did you refuse the invitation from Columbus Film and Television?" He took a sip of the bubbled tea and asked casually.
Xu Hanzhou smiled and replied: "Personal reasons."
"Is it easy to tell?" Zuo Zuo asked curiously.
After hearing this, Xu Hanzhou hesitated for a while and then said: "There are rumors that this movie from Columbus Film and Television is likely to compete with Mr. Jiang's movie, and I have starred in a movie directed by Mr. Jiang, so..."
"That's it..." Zuoyou suddenly understood. He quietly raised his hand and touched the wireless earphones in his ears, falling into a brief silence.
"Manager Zuo?" Xu Hanzhou couldn't help shouting when he saw that left and right hadn't spoken for a long time.
"Oh..." Zuoyou came back to his senses, thought for a while and asked: "What if the company requires you to accept this movie from Columbus Films?"
Xu Hanzhou was stunned, thought for three seconds and then replied seriously: "I'm sorry, if that's the case, I will choose to terminate the contract with the company."
He stared at Xu Hanzhou for a while, and finally nodded: "It's okay, you can go back."
"I'm really sorry, Manager Zuo."
Xu Hanzhou bowed with an apologetic expression and then exited the office.
He watched Xu Hanzhou leave from left to right, then looked at the tea-making secretary, and after gesturing for her to leave, he covered his ears and whispered: "Master Jiu, did you hear what I just said? Xu Hanzhou just refused to accept it, even if the company forced him to do so.
No way either."
"I know, it's really troublesome, and you have to ask me, the omnipotent gambling king of Ancheng, to take action." Zhang Jiuliang muttered and walked out of a small barber shop, flicking the short hair he had just repaired.
, walked towards the Erjing Group Building with steps.
Half an hour later.
The entrance of Erjing Group Building.
Xu Hanzhou had just walked out of it when he saw the cool girl standing next to the flower bed waving to him: "Hello, Brother Xu."
