Chapter 323 Li Xiuming joins the group and sells crazy Taiwei Electric
China Entertainment started from 198o. Chapter 323 of the text volume, Li Xiu Ming joined the team of the crazy Taiwei Electric Bertolucci version of "The Last Emperor", opening the movie from the perspective of little Puyi, showing the movie audience the European and American
Mainstream values' portrayal of Puyi's "tragic" life.
Since Wu Jianye decided to make this movie, he has decided to give up their values. What he wants is to express Puyi's life more objectively and fairly.
In Wu Jianye's version, the entire movie is divided into nine parts!
Cixi, Guangxu died, and Zaifeng supported Puyi on the throne!
Xinhai Revolution, Puyi abdicated!
Zhang Xun's restoration!
Puyi’s wedding!
Drive out Puyi!
Jinmen period!
Manchukuo period!
Labor reform period!
newborn!
The first five parts will all have scenes from the Forbidden City, and there will be more characters appearing at the same time than in Bertolucci's version, and they will be less facially-like.
For example, there are three characters who don’t appear for too long in the entire movie, but they play a big role!
The three concubines of Guangxu were Princess Jingyi, Princess Ronghui, and Princess Duankang.
The three performers are Yang Yaqin from Bayi Film Studio, Si Qin Gaowa, and Li Xiuming from Yanying Film Studio!
The three actors were all personally recommended by their respective studios, and they were guest appearances. Just like in later blockbusters, the film company would arrange for people from their own company to make guest appearances, and it meant just the same thing to show their faces.
As "The Last Emperor" is the film with the largest investment in China, these studios naturally hope that actors from their own studios will appear in the film.
"Three of you, please take care of the scenes these days!"
Wu Jianye laughed with the three actresses.
"Director Wu, you're welcome. We will be your soldiers these days, and we should listen to your orders!" Yang Yaqin is the eldest among the three. The movie that everyone is more familiar with is probably "Landmine Warfare".
Siqin Gaowa said to Wu Jianye openly: "Director Wu, let's formally cooperate once in the future if we have the opportunity!"
"Okay, I will definitely cooperate if there is a chance!" Wu Jianye said with a smile.
Si Qin Gaowa can be said to be one of the best actresses in China, especially good at playing domineering women, such as Xiaozhuang in "Kangxi Dynasty", the second mistress in "The Mansion"...
This year, she even won the Best Actress Award at the 4th Hong Kong Film Awards for "Homecoming"!
"Director Wu...!" Li Xiuming's expression was a little complicated. She had not appeared in any movies in the past two years and was in the stage of rest. When the leader of Yan Film Studio found her, she didn't want to
I came to guest star, but when the words came to my lips, I nodded in agreement!
"Xiu Ming, we have to cooperate again this time!" Wu Jianye looked at Li Xiuming and said with a smile.
"Yes." Li Xiuming nodded.
After chatting with the three of them for a while, they went to change costumes, put on makeup, and get ready for filming.
In order for the filming of the movie to go smoothly, Wu Jianye specially purchased two buses in the name of Tangting Culture and converted them into temporary dressing rooms.
Although the country will not allow private purchase of vehicles until next year, there are not so many restrictions in the name of a company.
The three of them were sitting in the guest room, putting on makeup and chatting.
"Xiu Ming, among the three of us, you are the only one who has worked with Director Wu. What kind of person is he? I don't know whether he is serious when filming, or whether he scolds people?" Si Qin Gaowa asked.
Almost all the pressure during the filming of a movie needs to be borne by the director, and the common problem of directors is that they have a bad temper. Of course, there are also those who are more elegant, but in the huge ranks of directors, such people are only a minority.
Li Xiuming smiled complicatedly in his heart and said: "No, when I worked with him on "Peacock Princess", he was independently responsible for a scene in Zhaoshutun. He didn't curse, but his tone was definitely irritable."
Yang Yaqin asked curiously: "I heard that the investment in this movie is more than 20 million US dollars. With such a huge investment, Director Wu must be under great psychological pressure."
It is an honor to be able to direct a film with an investment of more than 20 million US dollars in China, but it is also a kind of pressure!
Especially in the hearts of some uninitiated people, everyone is very curious about what kind of movie Wu Jianye can make. Don't think about making money in China. In other words, the audience of this movie should be abroad.
audience.
But many people know that Wu Jianye did not shoot this movie according to Western aesthetics.
This makes many people who are worried about Wu Jianye even more worried about him!
Of course, there are also some people who suffer from red eye syndrome and are waiting to see Wu Jianye’s jokes.
If this movie does not get the box office it deserves abroad, it means that Wu Jianye will only be able to shoot movies from domestic studios in the future.
If this movie fails to achieve the expected influence abroad, then Wu Jianye's influence among high-level people in China will also weaken a lot!
It can be said that the investment of 21 million US dollars is a double-edged sword. If it succeeds, Wu Jianye will naturally reach the pinnacle of his life. His influence in the country will reach a higher level. He will become like the older generation of directors who can directly
A director who talks to senior executives.
On the world stage, with the success of two consecutive films, he will also become a business card of domestic films overseas.
If it fails, as mentioned before, Wu Jianye will inevitably enter a period of dormancy. Whether he can get up again is a matter of course.
As an actor, Li Xiuming naturally knew this. At this time, through the glass of the bus, she happened to see Wu Jianye sitting in the director's seat outside the bus, writing, occasionally holding a pen in his mouth and frowning.
Wrinkled slightly, it was obvious that he had encountered some problem.
After a while, a proud smile appeared again. Although this smile was very secret, Li Xiuming could feel it.
From time to time, people would come over to Wu Jianye to ask about things, but Wu Jianye would sit there and patiently explain to them, sometimes even dancing and gesticulating.
How much pressure is he under now?
How did he maintain his mentality under such pressure?
Li Xiuming subconsciously began to think about Wu Jianye. Even she herself did not feel this feeling.
"Xiu Ming, Xiu Ming..."
Si Qin Gaowa was next to Li Xiu Ming, calling Li Xiu Ming's name.
"Oh...ah..." Li Xiuming took back his thoughts, his face turned slightly red, and then he quickly asked: "What's wrong?"
"It's okay, Sister Qin asked you just now, how are you and Cheng Xingyun doing?" Si Qin Gaowa said.
Now there is a man who is pursuing Li Xiu Ming, and his colleagues in Yanjing have long known about it. As Li Xiu Ming is one of the most famous actresses in China, everyone is naturally curious about her life events.
Moreover, everyone asking at this time is not preparing to reveal something. After all, at this time, such revelations have no lethality at all, and are more of a curiosity and concern.
"Yes, Xiu Ming, you are not young now, it's time to think about your own affairs!" Yang Yaqin said again.
"We have nothing, we are just ordinary friends!" Li Xiuming said quickly.
In fact, Cheng Xingyun's conditions are very good, he works in the system, and he is tall and handsome, which is very consistent with Li Xiuming's imagination of his partner. However, every time he is with Cheng Xingyun, another person always appears in Li Xiuming's mind.
human figure.
She herself knew that this was wrong, but she just couldn't control her feelings, so she never agreed to Cheng Xingyun's pursuit.
"They say they are just ordinary friends. Look, everyone has come to the set!" Si Qin Gaowa suddenly laughed.
Then, the three people on the bus saw Cheng Xingyun coming to the set at some point and sitting next to Wu Jianye, chatting with him.
"Xiu Ming, I think Xiao Cheng is pretty good, so stop testing him!" Yang Yaqin said with a smile.
Li Xiuming's expression became more and more complicated, and he didn't know how to answer Yang Yaqin.
Soon the three of them put on their makeup and got off the bus.
"Why are you here?" Li Xiuming looked at Cheng Xingyun and asked.
"There's nothing going on in the unit. I happened to hear that you were filming here. I'm also a fan of Director Wu, so I wanted to come and see how Director Wu films!" Cheng Xingyun said with a smile.
Li Xiuming nodded and said nothing more.
Glancing over, she saw that Wu Jianye was drawing the storyboards of the movie just now. She had seen this kind of thing countless times while filming "The Peacock Princess".
"Okay, if you have anything to say, we can wait until the shooting is over. Now we are ready to officially shoot!"
Wu Jianye clapped his hands and asked various departments of the crew to prepare for filming.
.......
When Wu Jianye was filming "The Last Emperor", Taiwei Home Appliances, which had been separated from Tunan Technology, was entering its peak sales period.
The reason is because of the popularity of "I Love My Family". Jia Fuming's family uses almost all Taiwei brand appliances, televisions, refrigerators, etc. Such soft advertising has never appeared in China.
After watching "I Love My Home", many viewers began to purchase Taiwei brand electrical appliances.
After the sales of Jianlibao went crazy, Taiwei Electrical Appliances also ushered in its sales peak, and dealers from all over the country almost blocked the door of Taiwei Electrical Appliances.
However, it is a pity that Taiwei Electric's production line seriously underestimated the impact of the TV series "I Love My Family" before, and the production line did not keep up at all.
This also resulted in many dealers being unable to obtain products.
Zhou Tao has gone to the United States to study. The general manager of Taiwei Electric is a professional manager recruited from Xiangjiang through a headhunting company in Xiangjiang.
At this time he fell into the distress of happiness.
After reporting this matter to Zhou Tao, Zhou Tao immediately contacted Zhao Lei and asked him to go to Shanghai to learn the details.
After Zhao Lei learned what happened in Shanghai, he immediately returned to Yanjing and asked Wu Jianye what he meant.
If you want to find Wu Jianye at this time, you naturally have to come to the crew here at the Forbidden City. When Zhao Lei saw that Wu Jianye was directing a movie, he did not rush up. Instead, he sat there and waited for Wu Jianye to finish filming.
Then introduce him to the situation in Shanghai and Hainan.
"Mr. Zhao?"
Cheng Xingyun also saw Zhao Lei, and immediately came over with a smile and took the initiative to say hello.
"Who are you?"
"Mr. Zhao is such a noble person who forgets things. I am Cheng Xingyun from the xx department. We have met at a dance in our unit before!" Cheng Xingyun said excitedly.
With the trend of all people going to sea last year, the status of businessmen in society has undergone earth-shaking changes. Zhao Lei's social status has also risen accordingly, and he has become a guest of many departments.
Although Cheng Xingyun has not yet entered the sea, he has already developed a strong interest in business. After meeting Zhao Lei, he was naturally a little excited.
"Oh, I remembered. It turned out to be Director Cheng. I'm really sorry. I'm really busy these days." Although Zhao Lei didn't know why Cheng Xingyun appeared here, but looking at the way he was sitting here, it was obvious that he was with Wu
Seeing that he knows Ye Ye, he naturally won't make any mistakes.
"I have a friend who is filming here, so I came over to have a look. I didn't expect to be so lucky to meet Mr. Zhao."
"Don't dare to take it, don't dare to take it."
"Is Mr. Zhao coming here this time?"
"Oh, Director Wu is my brother. He came here specifically to see my brother filming!" Zhao Lei knew that Wu Jianye didn't like letting outsiders know about his affairs, so he only talked about his relationship with Wu Jianye without explaining it clearly.
The real reason why I came here this time.
"Oh, I didn't expect Mr. Zhao and Director Wu to have such a relationship."
Cheng Xingyun really didn't expect that Mr. Zhao Lei, who was well-known in Forty-Nine City, would call Wu Jianye brother, which made him a little curious about Wu Jianye's identity.
Then Cheng Xingyun took Zhao Lei and started chatting.
Zhao Lei also picked up some less important things and started chatting with Cheng Xingyun.
After the filming of the scene in the morning ended, Wu Jianye also saw Zhao Lei. Without waiting for Zhao Lei to speak, he said directly: "If you have anything to do, we will talk about it after we finish filming today's scene."
"oh!"
At noon, everyone had a simple lunch and continued shooting.
In fact, Cheng Xingyun seemed to have left at noon, but seeing that Zhao Lei never left, he simply stayed.
The scene for today is not over until the lights are turned on in the evening.
After the crew finished filming, Li Xiuming glanced at Wu Jianye who was chatting with Zhao Lei and left with everyone. Cheng Xingyun did not further invite Zhao Lei and left with Li Xiuming.
"How are things going in Shanghai?"
Wu Jianye knew that Zhao Lei must have come here to report about Shanghai Taiwei Electric Appliances.
"The supply exceeds the demand!" Zhao Lei said excitedly: "The production lines in the factory can't keep up at all. The production lines we ordered abroad have not been officially put into mass production. Taiwei Electric wants to know, should we increase the production capacity first?
The production efficiency of the production line, or should we focus more on the new production line?”
"What about their own thoughts?" Wu Jianye asked.
"What Qiu Lijie means is that we should increase the production intensity of the existing production lines, stabilize the current market, and then work hard on the new production lines!"
Qiu Lijie is now the general manager of Taiwei Electric.
"Okay, just do what Qiu Lijie wants, but tell him that Taiwei Electric's production line must meet the domestic purchase volume next year. This is a dead order, do you understand?"
"clear!"
"Also, I asked you to tell him, how are you preparing to take the lead in establishing your own direct-sale stores in Yanjing, Shanghai, Pengcheng, Yangcheng and other places?"
"Now Taiwei Electric has sent its own inspection team to inspect various cities. But brother, is this a bit unnecessary? Now the distributors across the country are waiting outside our factory. There is no need for us to set up our own
For a directly operated store, this will greatly increase our costs!"
Zhao Lei didn't understand why Wu Jianye was so concerned about the directly-operated store!
