This summer is precious for most students at Beijing Film Academy. They are about to enter their senior year. Graduation, which was once far away, seems to be just around the corner. Many students who were not very enthusiastic about working on the film crew have begun to work in various places.
The crew ran away, and some even went directly to Hengdian to seek opportunities.
It's just that in the cold winter of film and television, the production of film and television dramas has been greatly reduced. Many Hengdian extras can only make a living by making jokes. What's more, these innocent students who don't understand the world have been deceived before they even arrived in Hengdian.
Er Jing could only ask for help in the group and rely on the help of his classmates to come back safely.
Those who were lucky enough to get roles were all faceless bitches. In the end, they lost a lot of money in terms of food and clothing.
Qin Ming and Jin Boyuan were also on the same page, but the difference was that these two still made money, especially Jin Boyuan, who actually made almost 7,000 yuan in one summer. This made Qin Ming very unhappy, thinking that he was also a good person.
Tangtang, when I was auditioning for extras, I couldn't compare to a fat man weighing more than 200 pounds.
Regarding the two people's mutual complaints in the group, Han Fei just laughed and said nothing. Speaking of which, Jin Boyuan's body shape became his biggest advantage, because the group also lacked such special actors, and Qin Ming's tall and handsome appearance became his biggest advantage.
This is a burden, because the purpose of a supporting role is to highlight the protagonist, and being handsome is the original sin.
"You guys can come back when you're done playing. School is about to start." Han Fei reminded.
Jin Boyuan made a sighing expression: "I'm already on the road. It's boring. I have shot so many movies and not many scenes showing my face. Poor old man, I have nowhere to use my acting skills. What a shame."
Qin Ming sent a sour emoji saying "There's an idiot upstairs": "Come on, I'm so miserable. I thought that with my brother's conditions, even if I couldn't be the leading actor, it wouldn't be a problem to get a supporting role, but it turned out
Even walk-ins are looked down upon."
"I've told you a long time ago that the reliable crew doesn't have enough space to deal with the actors who have been added by various investors. How can you be there?" Han Fei said about these two people who will never look back until they hit the wall.
The spirit expresses understanding, after all, who has not been young?
Xie Buchen secretly sent a message: "Brother, I'm really depressed. The second male lead we've agreed with is about to join the set, but someone is talking about it."
"Damn it, who is so... Thank you, tell me quickly to make everyone happy." The voices of Qin Ming and Jin Boyuan arrived almost at the same time.
Xie Buchen ignored these two bad friends and told his own experience. Han Fei couldn't help but blurt out: "Fuck you."
It turns out that the director of a youth drama accidentally saw Xie Buchen's performance in "Welcome to School Together" and directly sent him an invitation to audition. Xie Buchen had nothing to do, so he agreed.
The process went very smoothly. The director and producer were quite satisfied with him, the contract was signed, and he was about to join the crew for filming.
As a result, the temporary investor Fortress came in and took a fancy to Xie Buchen's role. What's more, by coincidence, this investor was Xie Buchen's old club. Xie Buchen had sued his old club to court in order to terminate the contract.
, the two sides naturally have nothing to say.
What’s even more shocking is that the person who replaced Xie Buchen’s role was actually his younger brother from his former team. After Xie Buchen left the boy band, the company’s resources were tilted, and now his younger brother has already become a popular idol of the new generation.
Although the contract has been signed, there is no way to litigate this kind of thing, and in order not to make things difficult for the director, Xie Buchen terminated the contract with the crew.
"The tragic and bloody drama of the year, Lao Xie, I don't think your story needs any processing to make a 40-episode film." Jin Boyuan marveled.
Qin Ming also sent a series of emoticons to express his agreement with Jin Boyuan's views.
Han Fei smiled and scolded: "You should stop rubbing salt into Lao Xie's wounds and come back quickly. I'm almost ready. This time we will do something big."
"Damn it, Lao Han, you're not just going to get angry and start attacking the stupid company that pushed Lao Xie, are you? Tell me honestly when did you have a gay relationship?" Jin Boyuan made a very lewd expression.
Qin Ming directly sent an animated emoticon of soap falling in the bathroom.
Xie Buchen was moved, but he also joined in the fun and made a frightened face: "I treat you as a brother, you actually want to..."
"Fuck you, can you all stop being so dirty in your thoughts? There aren't many roles, so hold on tight. You're late, but don't blame me for not leaving a place for you." Han Fei closed his laptop while laughing and cursing.
Yes, during the past two months, Han Fei has been busy preparing for a major event, which is the preliminary work for the TV series adaptation of "Tomb Raiders".
First of all, the script. Han Fei once again caught Jia Youqian's young man, and now the screenwriting club is relatively free with this guy.
Jia Youqian actually came to the rescue with just one move. At first, Han Fei thought he was so loyal and was touched for a while. However, he accidentally heard from the author group that this fellow had asked readers for a long leave, saying that he was written by a strong man who was caught.
The script is gone. Anyway, Han Fei didn’t say a single good word about Han Fei in a single chapter. He basically came from the same village as Zhou Papi.
After the script is completed, it is troublesome to submit it for inspection. This kind of plot is about ghosts and tomb robberies, and the radio and television control is very strict. Fortunately, Han Fei applied for a web drama, otherwise people probably wouldn’t watch it.
Even so, it did not escape the fate of being revised many times.
Of course, in the original version of "Tomb Robbers", in order to hand over cultural relics to the country, there will definitely not be a show of being chased all the way back to China on a motorcycle from Germany.
After working on it for almost a month, the script for the first season has finally been approved. Of course, the script alone is definitely not enough, you also need to find investment. In fact, the original version of "Tomb Raiders" cost 12 million, of which at least half was
After giving it to the actors, the real production cost is estimated to be only about five million, which is enough for Han Fei to scrape together the funds he has on hand now.
However, Han Fei did not do this. Instead, he directly approached Penguin Video. He had previously cooperated with Penguin Video on "We Went Together", and Han Fei was quite familiar with this aspect.
The reason why Penguin Video was chosen was not because it had the best conditions, but because Penguin Pictures, also owned by Penguin Group, had talked with Han Fei about purchasing the film and television adaptation rights for "Tomb Raiders".
"So, the film and television copyright of Tomb Raiders is actually in your hands?" The person who received Han Fei was still Director Wei. He had a vague impression of this project. After all, all the self-made series of Penguin Film and Television are broadcast on Penguin Video.
, the management of both parties have close communication.
Han Fei shrugged: "To be precise, I should have all the copyrights."
