As the sun set, Jiang Bei sat in front of the monitor with a calm face. A slight sadness could be seen between his eyebrows. Especially when the assistant director Wan Xian kept praising the scene from the side, it made the old man feel unreasonable.
Distraught.
Why did you lose your head?
It shouldn't be...
"Since ancient times, heroes have been saddened by beauties~" Liangliang appeared behind him at some point and sighed in a strange way.
"Will you die if you don't speak? Will you die?" Jiang Bei turned to glare at her and scolded in a low voice.
Why is this girl so in need of treatment?
"Oh~" Liangliang shrugged helplessly and said nothing.
"What should we do now?" Seeing that the atmosphere in the entire crew was gradually rising, with assistant director Wan Xian and heroine Li Youqing getting ready for the next scene, Jiang Bei felt helpless in his heart.
The road is a bit narrow~~
"Otherwise, let's just go ahead and film it as it happens and leave our fate to the entire Chinese film market." Liangliang spread her hands and suggested.
"What if we win?" Jiang Bei frowned.
If you win, all your efforts will be wasted.
"How can it be so easy to win?" Liangliang waved his hands and said nonchalantly: "I have done some research on Mu Feibai during this period and found that he is still relatively good. Although the previous movies were not satisfactory after they were released,
But when it comes to making movies, even a famous director cannot guarantee that every movie will be successful. Likewise, not every movie will be a hit."
"You mean you are more optimistic about Mu Feibai's new movie?" Jiang Bei asked curiously.
Zhuge Liang nodded when he heard this, and said firmly: "A few days ago, I sneaked into the crew of "Love in Dilemma" to work as a temporary worker for a day. I observed their filming scene and learned that their crew were all from Milaiwu.
We invited a professional shooting team. I heard that this team has served many famous directors in Milaiwu and shot many popular films."
Although Mu Feibai was arrogant, he was not a fool. He knew very well that this bet was related to whether he could gain a foothold in the Chinese entertainment industry in the future, so he quietly contacted the professional photography team of Milaiwu as early as the moment the bet was confirmed.
Came to China to assist him in filming this movie.
And this news has not been exposed so far. If Liangliang hadn't secretly become a spy before and relied on the automatic dating function of Ancheng Gambling King, Jiangbei might still be kept in the dark this time.
"That's still risky." Jiang Bei shook his head and said.
No one knows "Before Dawn" better than him. In its previous life in the last century, it was able to earn 20 million in box office revenue with a production cost of about 2 million. This is definitely considered very successful among literary and artistic films.
.
Even if the world and times have changed, classic films are still classic films, and it is still difficult to fail without reason.
So despite the fact that Mu Feibai hired a professional filming and production team, if we really compete, we may not be able to win this game surely.
"There are always risks. You can't make trouble in this situation, right? If my sister-in-law sees the clues, it will be like self-destruction." Zhuge Liang said in the direction of Li Youqing.
Jiangbei fell into silence upon hearing this.
There is some truth to this.
Because the filming progress of the movie has been delayed, the entire crew is currently paying great attention to the quality of the shooting, especially Li Youqing, who is constantly checking it. In this case, it is obvious that he wants to force himself
It is obviously unrealistic to reduce the quality of the video.
Since there is no way to forcibly lower the quality, shooting according to the normal 60-point standard will not have much impact on the quality of the film. After all, this film does not have high requirements for actors, and the plot does not have too many ups and downs. Even
The embarrassment in many places can be explained by the first day the hero and heroine met, which makes it more logical.
In this case, we can only leave it to fate.
"Beibei, come here quickly, let's get into the situation in advance." Li Youqing's voice came from the other end, awakening Jiang Bei who was deep in thought.
Jiang Bei looked up at his wife, paused and stood up and walked towards her.
Zhuge Liang, who was behind, looked at his brother's leaving figure and couldn't help but murmured in a low voice: "It seems that something has changed..."
...
Time is passing by bit by bit. Since the scene in the audition room was successfully filmed, the filming progress of "Before Dawn" can be said to be rapid. After a hard week, the filming is coming to an end, and only the final finishing work is left.
According to the plan, it will be completed successfully in three to five days at most.
During this week, Columbus Film and Television and Mu Feibai continued to move. During the filming process, Liu Guangyu was sent repeatedly to negotiate with Li Youqing, hoping to release her from being hidden by Erjing Film and Television with a liquidated damages of 500 million.
Dilemma.
Li Youqing also successfully solved this obstacle after using the "share weal and woe" card against Jiangbei, and she personally negotiated the signing with Liu Guangyu.
However, there were still some disagreements between the two parties during the negotiation of the contract. For example, Li Youqing hoped that the contract with Columbus Film and Television could be signed once a year. After all, if the liquidated damages were to be an extremely low price, it could not exceed three times the signing fee at most.
.
This proposal was naturally opposed by Liu Guangyu, because Li Youqing voluntarily lowered the signing fee to 10 million, which meant that if she wanted to break the contract, she would only have to pay 30 million in liquidated damages to leave Columbus Film and Television.
As a big star who was bought back by the company for 500 million yuan, this is unacceptable from both a business perspective and a personal interest perspective.
Therefore, this cooperation was frozen for a while, so that Li Youqing is still an employee of Erjing Film and Television.
To say that the most urgent person in this situation is not Jiangbei, but Mu Feibai, the person in charge of Columbus Film and Television, because his movie "Love in Dilemma" has been officially completed a few days ago and has entered post-production.
Now for Mu Feibai, he is just waiting for the filming of the film in Jiangbei to be completed and released together. If Li Youqing's matter remains stuck in the middle and cannot be resolved, then this bet will never be completed. This is obviously because Mu Feibai has not
The method is acceptable.
"According to the news I got, Jiangbei's movie will end in a few days. Director Liu, you must deal with the matter of Li Youqing being hidden by Erjing Film and Television as soon as possible. I don't want this bet to be delayed again and again." I can't accept it.
Mu Feibai called Liu Guangyu to him and gave him an ultimatum.
"But Li Youqing's request is not in line with the interests of our company!" Liu Guangyu said with a distressed look.
He also wanted to resolve the matter quickly, but he did not have the right to make the decision without authorization. If something happened later and the company's senior management blamed him, he would be the first to suffer.
"Can't we just make some changes? We promised not to ban her, but she can't break the contract without any reason." Mu Feibai waved his hand and said.
"This..." Liu Guangyu hesitated.
"There's nothing like this or that. Take the time to get things done. At least I want to see the news about the termination of Li Youqing's contract with Erjing Film and Television before Jiangbei Films is completed."
Faced with Mu Feibai's ultimatum, Liu Guangyu had no choice but to bite the bullet and sign the contract with Li Youqing. However, when filling it out, he still fulfilled his obligations as a senior executive and added many additional payments to the contract, the most...
The important point is that Li Youqing is not allowed to terminate her contract with Columbus Film and Television for no reason. After the contract expires, Columbus Film and Television has the priority to renew her contract before there are no problems in the cooperation between the two parties.
Li Youqing also expressed satisfaction with the contract.
So the two parties signed the contract two days later. On the second day after signing the contract, the movie "Before Dawn", written, directed and starring Jiang Bei, was officially announced to be finalized.
