After the first day of shooting, when he returned to the hotel in the evening, Lin Mengchu lay on the bed and asked, "Did Xu Zheng intentionally show off his skills on the set today?"
"kindness."
"His acting skills are indeed very good, but I can feel that he is very restless inside."
"oh."
"The magic of money can really make people crazy!" Lin Mengchu sighed with emotion, and then said: "Okay, let me be up there."
The filming was completed in only ten days, only half of the scheduled time. After a shutdown ceremony was held, and everyone on the crew and actors were invited to have a feast together, the matter was considered to be more than half over. The next focus
, it’s a matter of announcement and release, so it has nothing to do with Chen Cheng and Lin Mengchu.
At the banquet, Xu Zheng gave director Lin Mengchu a business card and said sincerely: "If there are any good scripts in the future, please be sure to contact me. Even if the salary is lower, it is fine."
Xu Zheng, who is middle-aged and bald, is a very good actor. He usually likes to go to nightclubs and is casual, but when it comes to work and business, he is definitely conscientious. I heard that Chen Cheng is the author of this script.
Afterwards, he specially sat next to Chen Cheng and Lin Mengchu, and talked about many interesting things in the entertainment industry.
He was the little prince of the nightclub. Although he was bald, his ability to seduce girls was second to none. If Lin Mengchu wasn't around, he would have dragged Chen Cheng along to fool around. Of course, he didn't drag Lin Mengchu down and stayed with him.
Say a lot of nice things. The entertainment industry, like other industries, is divided into several small circles. Xu Zheng's acting skills are not bad, but others generally don't let him play, so now he keeps a low profile and talks a lot about the industry
interesting things.
When Xu Zheng's face turned red from drinking and he followed the others back to the room, Lin Mengchu said thoughtfully: "Is he showing his favor to us?"
"Well, didn't he say that those in the Beijing circle won't use him, so of course he needs to find his own way. This phenomenon is very common in the entertainment industry. There are many actors with good acting skills, because there are no
Resources can only be wasted day after day."
"He is very ambitious and his acting skills are also very good. In the future, if we make our own movies, we can continue to look for him."
Chen Cheng smiled and said, "You have participated in the filming of a movie, and now you are confident?"
"I take notes carefully every day! The next step for us is to make a small-budget comedy. When we become famous, then... By the way, what kind of movie are we going to make?"
"Whatever you like is fine."
"Don't you have anything you want to take pictures of, Mr. Chen?"
Chen Cheng thought for a while and said: "I have a lot of things I want to make, but the investment is too big. I guess I have to make one and lose the other, or forget it. The investment in making a movie is too big, no matter how much money I have, it won't be enough."
It's burning. Several giants in the film and television industry in the United States almost went bankrupt due to poor box office performance. You can spend the little money we have, but it's not enough to make movies, especially blockbusters."
"Don't we have a lot of treasures? How about exchanging them for money?"
Chen Cheng shook his head and said: "It's okay to change some money, but not too much or too frequently, otherwise it will arouse others' suspicion."
"You are just too cautious!" Lin Mengchu raised his head and looked at Zixiong, "I want to see who dares to doubt!"
"Such an idea is dangerous!"
After gaining power, your mentality will naturally change. This is a normal thing. Not only power, but also money and power will also have such changes. With resources beyond ordinary people, whether it is power or money,
Regardless of its reputation and power, its position will change. If it continues to develop, it will want to change the world.
On the contrary, people like Chen Cheng who are satisfied with reading every day are a minority among the minority. But perhaps it is because he can express his ambitions in other worlds, so he seems to be very law-abiding in this world.
It was already mid-December, and the film had been shot, but it still needed to be edited later. Lin Mengchu and Chen Cheng also joined in. In the original contract, it was stipulated that they had the final editing rights. Chen Cheng's head
It looked like a complete film, so after three days of learning and proficiency, it only took one week to edit the film.
Director Li was originally a little angry, thinking that this was taking away his job. Editing power is an important part of a director's power. Wherever there is power, various interest chains will inevitably breed. In film and television,
The same is true in the industry. If the editing rights are taken away, a lot of overt and covert interests will be lost.
But who said the relationship behind Lin Mengchu was tough? No matter how angry Director Li was, he could only endure it. When he saw the finished film edited by Chen Cheng and Lin Mengchu, he couldn't help but sigh, some people are really born to be stronger than others.
For those who were editing for the first time, their techniques were so mature that they looked like they had been immersed in this industry for decades.
Lin Mengchu was also very surprised. During the fight, he once asked Chen Cheng how he did it. Chen Cheng said without changing his face: "The reason why I can achieve such achievements is because I stand on the shoulders of giants."
After Ye Daoxiong watched the edited film in the company, he praised it greatly and said: "This is a good style, light-hearted comedy, and it should do well in the Lunar New Year festival."
"Hey, uncle, didn't you say it wouldn't be released until after the Spring Festival?" Lin Mengchu asked, "Why did you change your mind?"
Ye Daoxiong smiled and said: "Isn't the quality of watching movies very good? It's also the Chinese New Year, so I just arranged it."
Chen Cheng smiled and didn't say anything else. Lin Mengchu said honestly and politely: "I heard that the Lunar New Year film originally prepared by your company had an accident and it hasn't been finished yet. Is this the case?
"
Ye Daoxiong laughed and said: "I guess there are, but the main thing is that Chu Chu and your films are good, so I use them to fill the vacancy, don't you think?"
"But as a result, the cost of publicity and distribution will be greatly increased, right? The increased cost cannot be included in the cost, it will be borne by your company!"
"Oh, why should we distinguish it so clearly? I'm your uncle. What's mine is yours, isn't it? What's yours is mine, isn't it?"
Lin Mengchu snorted and said, "It's better to make the distinction clearly. I am not the only daughter of the old man."
Ye Daoxiong shook his head and said: "Sister, they are twins. From a genetic level, sister can also be regarded as your mother, you..."
Lin Mengchu's face turned cold, her eyebrows stood up, and she pulled Chen Cheng out of the screening room. Ye Daoxiong, who was sitting on the chair, sighed, feeling that these bloody family ethics dramas happened to him, really
It was so ridiculous. But now, he couldn't laugh at all.
In a mature business society, there is a mature system for everything. Shencheng Music Production Company quickly launched an overwhelming publicity online, on TV and on various platforms. The name "Nightclub" makes people think of a lot when they hear it.
Weird knowledge, but the clips released have nothing to do with nightclubs. This contrast has attracted some people's attention.
But it is just some attention. In this era, the Lunar New Year period has become a traditional Chinese medicine period that requires bloody fighting. All kinds of capital, various media, and various film and television companies are all vigorously promoting their own Lunar New Year blockbusters. Yi Shui's Big
Directors and big stars are involved, production costs can easily reach tens of millions, and the publicity campaign is much stronger than that of a low-budget comedy movie like "Nightclub."
But Mr. Ye Er is very optimistic about this. After all, the main business of his Shencheng Music Production Company is not film and television. It often makes some bad movies and deceives people into entering the cinema. But the film "Nightclub" is only one
More than one million. Even if you include the cost of publicity and distribution, it will not exceed five million. Even if you add some more, it will be less than eight million. You can easily make your money back. Besides, the quality of the film is indeed very good, laugh.
There are a lot of points, and as long as the box office can reach 30 million, it will be a big profit.
In fact, after deducting the publicity and distribution expenses, you can make a lot of money with a box office of 10 million. There is no way, why do you think the shooting cost is so low? Mr. Ye's publicity strategy is also very simple, go to whoever is popular.
I often target this one today and that one tomorrow. I buy a lot of press releases and hot searches, so that the heroine will show off this one today and that one tomorrow, and at the same time do a wave of advertising for "Nightclub".
Ye Daoxiong has said before that there is nothing else in the entertainment industry. It just relies on all kinds of flattery, all kinds of advertisements, subways, elevators, everything you can get on, and it makes people confused. Of course, with those few in the limelight
Zhengsheng's Lunar New Year blockbusters are still incomparable. Because they cost less and are not as high-end and classy as others, they just try their best to gain popularity. Regardless of whether they are reliable or not, they are still trying their best to gain popularity.
Anyway, in the entertainment industry, everything can be speculated, scandals and characters are speculated. Suddenly, news is everywhere that the heroine of "Nightclub" is swaying all kinds of female stars. Even Li Xiaolu's agent can't stand it.
I had to call Shencheng Music Production Company. To put it mildly, this would damage the heroine's popularity.
Ye Daoxiong disagreed. These days, even being a black star is better than being unknown. Not only did he not restrain himself, but he intensified the hype and even pulled out the leading actor Xu Zheng to stir up speculation. Of course, because he and the middle-aged man
Because the bald man has a good personal relationship, I didn't say anything bad about him, but instead promoted his positive image.
Xu Zheng does have many advantages, his basic skills are very solid, and he has been praised by many seniors in the theater.
Ye Ergongzi and Xu Tu had a similar affinity. After filming "Nightclub", they went to nightclubs together and had a lot of fun, thus forming a deep friendship. The two often contacted each other on the phone and made appointments to hang out everywhere. Anyway, Ye
The second young master is rich, so he pays the bill every time.
He also revealed to Xu Zheng that Chen Cheng has two more interesting scripts in hand. If he can make money this time, he will be asked to film next time. As for the salary, let’s double it first. Xu Tuzi was on the phone
Said: "It's easy to say whether it's money or not. The main reason is your temper towards me. It's so enjoyable to work with you!"
