The production company that is the first to pay is actually the last to receive money!
By the way, a little knowledge, in the year when Wu Jianye was reborn, about 400 movies were produced across the country, and only 20 of them made back their money...
But by that time, the film industry no longer simply relies on box office to make money back. Copyrights, peripherals, company stock prices, etc. are all the benefits that a movie can bring, but the company will not let the audience know about these benefits.
.
After Yan Film Studio transferred the 10 million U.S. dollars to the account of the new film, it has already explained that this film is no longer solely decided by Wu Jianye.
Although Yan Film Studio cannot make decisions for Wu Jianye, such as hiring some actors from their studio, Han Heping actually proposed to Wu Jianye, hoping that Wu Jianye could use some actors from Yan Film Studio, but Wu Jian was rejected
Ye refused happily.
Wu Jianye only chooses suitable actors, not those with connections!
But Yan Film Studio will have to bear the interest of the 10 million US dollars from this moment on, so the only thing they can influence Wu Jianye now is to hope that Wu Jianye can start filming the movie as soon as possible, even if it is already over.
It’s New Year’s Day 1995!
Wu Jianye's response to Han Heping was that he wanted to finalize the cast first!
There are actually only two actors confirmed for the movie now, one is the male lead Chen Daoxuan, and the other is Zhu Hao who guest stars as Chen Daoxuan's wife!
What Wu Jianye wants to meet today is the female lead in the movie!
...
Late eighties, early nineties!
Four very famous karaoke bars appeared in Yanjing.
The Wanwan Hotel, Wangfu Hotel, Heping House in the Wangfujing area, and the wealthy Weigong Village in the west of Yanjing.
It was known as the four major karaoke halls in Yanjing during this period.
Countless well-known singers have had the experience of singing here. Han Lei, Han Hong, Man Wenjun, Man Chang, Huang Gexuan, Dai Rao, and Shabao Liang have all sung in these four karaoke halls.
In another time and space, Wu Bo was the ace of the four major karaoke halls during this period. He often visited several venues a day. Later, his noble lady Liu Bei met Wu Bo here for the first time.
Rock youth Huang Jue once worked as Wu Bo's backup dancer, and Huang Bo, who was still a diaosi, also came here after traveling around the country.
Yang Wuzhuang, who later liked to comment on singers to enhance their presence, also quit his job as a welder during this period and came to Yanjing. At this time, his voice was still as clear as water. In Yanjing, he and Shabaoliang became very good friends.
At this time, the person who is as famous as Wu Bo in these places is Dai Jun. By the way, before starting his career as a singer, Dai Jun was a dolphin trainer.
It seems that there are also hidden dragons and crouching tigers in the zoo. There is a dolphin trainer Dai Jun in the front and an elephant trainer Teacher Sun in the back!
Dai Jun and Wu Bo announced each other's curtains, which was also a gimmick in the karaoke hall at this time.
At this time, because there were so many foreigners who often came to these places, Wu Bo also gave himself the English name rolling wu.
Wu Bo came on stage and teased Han Lei, who liked to sing in a fashionable way at that time: Why do you always open your five fingers when you sing? Are you telling people, come five hundred, give me another five hundred.
As expected later, Han Lei sang "Borrow from Heaven for Another Five Hundred Years"!
However, this time and space is definitely different. Wu Bo became famous early and had less experience in running karaoke bars. Singing became more of a hobby.
It is also very different from Dai Jun and others.
The only difference is that Wu Bo is still the richest among this group of people and has the highest appearance fee.
At this time, Yanjing was not peaceful, let alone a place like the karaoke hall. Singers were often harassed when they sang on stage. The men asked them to blow beer, and the women wanted to develop some stories.
Some guests drank too much, and some even hit them if they disagreed.
So today a female singer was beaten. The matter was actually very simple. A female singer sang on stage, and a big brother in the audience took a fancy to her. So when the female singer came off the stage, the big brother invited the female singer to eat. A late-night snack was rejected by the female singer, so the eldest brother thought he was being looked down upon and knocked out the female singer's front teeth!
The female singer was lying on the hospital bed, feeling very aggrieved. She had just broken up with her boyfriend not long ago, and now she was beaten again. It was impossible not to feel aggrieved.
Sitting next to the hospital bed is his good friend Huang Jue.
There are some fans in this circle at this time. For example, the boyfriend of the female singer has become famous because he participated in the New Rock Forces concert and the Strawberry Music Festival in Hong Kong, and his cousin is Dou Laoxian.
There was a gap in status between the two, so they naturally broke up.
When they were not famous, five or six people would live in a room and no one would say anything. But now that they are famous, everything is different!
This female singer was later the first generation of the Four Little Actresses in China and the most successful actress in the film industry, Mr. Zhou!
Mr. Zhou was born in Zhejiang Province. His mother was a salesperson in a department store and his father was a projectionist in a cinema.
It was considered a prosperous family at that time, and because of his father's relationship, Mr. Zhou had shot a lot of calendars and posters since he was a child, so he successfully attracted the attention of director Xie Haoli, and then came to Yanjing to participate in the film directed by Xie Haoli. After filming "Old Tombs", I went back to school to continue my studies. In 1993, I followed my boyfriend to Yanjing and started my career as a singer in a karaoke bar.
If there are no accidents, Mr. Zhou will participate in the filming of another movie this year. From then on, he will officially bid farewell to his career as a karaoke singer and enter the film industry. Later, he will meet a series of noble people and become the first generation of four little actresses in China. !
"I don't want to sing anymore!" Mr. Zhou said suddenly, looking at the ceiling above the hospital bed.
Huang Jue did not dissuade him and said: "I won't sing if I don't want to sing. But have you ever thought about doing anything?"
Mr. Zhou shook his head and said, "No, at worst I can go back to my hometown and find a job. I just don't want to sing anymore!"
Huang Jue was a little silent. He had been in this circle for a year or two, and there were many people coming and going. Now that his best friend was leaving, he still felt a little reluctant to leave!
At this time, there was a knock on the door outside the ward.
Before Mr. Zhou and Huang Jue could say please come in, the other party had already opened the door and came in. What came was a woman wearing some heavy makeup. It is said that the makeup of girls in this era is really a bit unbearable to look at.
When she is in her teens or 20s, with the makeup she puts on, she looks like a promiscuous woman in her thirties. I really don’t know what the aesthetics of this era are like.
If you don’t have an intuitive feeling, you can search for Zhou Gongzi’s early posters and you will be able to find out.
"Hey, Sister Zhou, how are you? I just finished singing and ran over here!" The visitor came to Mr. Zhou's side seemingly affectionately, showing a fake expression of concern.
The person’s name is Liang Anni, which is definitely not her real name...
He is also a resident singer in the karaoke hall, but he is not as famous as Mr. Zhou, and he has always been very jealous of Mr. Zhou's fame.
Mr. Zhou's eyes showed undisguised disgust, because the eldest brother who beat her today was Liang Anni's best friend. If there was no existence of Liang Anni, Mr. Zhou would not believe anything he said.
"I just told you about Brother Mai, how could you attack a girl? Brother Mai also knew his mistake, so he asked me to send you 1,000 yuan to compensate you!" Liang Anni said proudly.
He took out a thousand yuan from his bag and put it beside Mr. Zhou's bed.
Huang Jue said dissatisfied: "Liang Anni, that's enough. Xiao Xun has already decided not to sing. What else do you want to do?"
Liang Anni couldn't help but smile on her face, but she said in a pityful tone: "That's such a pity. What a waste it would be if Sister Zhou didn't sing!"
"Moreover, Huang Jue, what do you mean? I care about Sister Zhou. Is that wrong? Don't think that I am afraid of you because you are a man!"
When Huang Jue was about to say something else, Mr. Zhou grabbed his sleeve and said, "Okay, let's leave it as it is. Anyway, I will never sing in the karaoke hall again!"
It is impossible to say that there are no grievances, but what if there are grievances?
After all, both Mr. Zhou and Huang Jue are just unknown singers who sing in karaoke halls. There is nothing they can do if they are bullied.
I can only endure this grievance!
Liang Anni's face showed a proud expression and said: "Sister Zhou is still smart. This Yanjing is not something that ordinary people can get around. It's not enough to be able to sing. You also have to be a good person. Who knows that person will be your noble one?"
Ah, Sister Zhou’s character is just too stubborn. She broke up with a good man like Dou Peng when he told her to break up. Tell me, if you are still with him now, maybe you will also be a person of Tangting culture. Who will be with you at that time?
How dare you bully you!"
"Okay, I won't say anything anymore. Brother Mai is still waiting for me in the parking lot. I have to leave first!"
After speaking, Anni Liang shook her hair and left directly.
But when she walked out of the ward, a man wearing a long black down jacket walked towards her.
"Get out of the way, I wonder if a good dog won't block the way!" Liang Anni said dissatisfied.
The man frowned slightly, but thinking of his purpose here, he stepped aside and let Liang Anni go out first.
After Liang Anni walked out, the man also walked into the ward. He looked at Mr. Zhou on the bed and Huang Jue next to him and asked, "Are you Mr. Zhou? I am Lu Fumeng from the Tangting Culture and Film Department."
Liang Anni, who had just walked out of the ward, also heard Lu Fumeng's words and stopped immediately. At the same time, she couldn't help turning around and came to the side of the ward door to listen.
She doesn’t understand what the people from the Tangting Culture and Film Department are doing here!
Even if you come, it has to be someone from the music club?
Liang Anni was confused and decided to listen to the details.
Liang Anni was confused by Lu Fumeng's words. Mr. Zhou on the bed and Huang Jue next to him were equally puzzled.
However, Mr. Zhou still replied: "I am!"
Lu Fumeng had actually recognized Mr. Zhou, although at this time Mr. Zhou's face was a little swollen because of his missing front teeth.
"Hello, I am Lu Fumeng from the Tangting Culture Film Department. This is my business card!" Lu Fumeng introduced himself again and then handed his business card to Mr. Zhou.
"Hello, Manager Lu, who are you?" Although the name of the talent scout was written on the business card, Mr. Zhou still called him Manager Lu.
"It's like this. Director Wu is preparing to shoot his new movie. I have seen your performance in "The Ancient Tomb" directed by Xie Haili before, so I want to invite you to participate in Director Wu's new movie. This time I
I came here to specially invite you!" Lu Fumeng said.
"Director Wu?" Huang Jue looked at Lu Fumeng in disbelief and asked, "That Director Wu?"
Lu Fumeng said with a smile: "Of course it's director Wu Jianye!"
Wu Jianye!
new movie!
When these two terms were brought together, Mr. Zhou who was lying on the hospital bed, Huang Jue next to him, and Liang Anni who was eavesdropping at the door couldn't believe it was true.
The first reaction is that Lu Fumeng is a liar!
Otherwise, there is no way to explain the possibility of pie falling from the sky!
"This is impossible!"
Liang Anni, who was hiding outside the door, couldn't help shouting.
After shouting, he rushed in, looked at Lu Fumeng dissatisfied, and said: "You must be a liar!"
Lu Fumeng, who had no good impression of Liang Anni just now, became even more unfavorable when he saw Liang Anni showing her teeth and claws.
"The business card contains my position and phone number in Tangting Culture. I can tell if it is true or false after just one phone call. Do I need to lie?" Although Lu Fumeng was dissatisfied with Liang Anni at this time, he did not say anything extreme because Mr. Zhou was
Wu Jianye named the person he wanted.
Lu Fumeng saw Liang Anni here again, so he subconsciously thought that Liang Anni was Mr. Zhou's best friend.
So Lu Fumeng is suppressing his dissatisfaction!
Liang Anni grabbed Lu Fumeng's business card directly from Zhou Xun's hand, then took out her mobile phone from her bag and dialed the number inside. After ringing several times, no one answered the phone, which made Zhe Rang feel very unhappy.
Liang Anni laughed.
"I'll just call you a liar. No one answered this call at all!"
Lu Fumeng glanced at her helplessly and said, "Miss, what time is it now? The company is naturally off work!"
It was already past twelve o'clock at night. If Wu Jianye hadn't met Mr. Zhou tomorrow, Lu Fumeng would not have come to see Mr. Zhou this night.
In fact, Lu Fumeng first went to the karaoke hall where Mr. Zhou was singing, and then he hurried over after learning that she was in the hospital.
Liang Anni said: "Liars have many reasons. Sister Zhou, you must not be fooled!"
Zhou Xun's expression was a little complicated, but he still felt very happy when he saw the panic expression on Liang Anni's face: "Anyway, I'll make a call as soon as I get to work tomorrow morning and we'll find out!"
Lu Fumeng didn't go to see Liang Anni either. He looked at Mr. Zhou and said with some concern: "Miss Zhou, is there any problem with your injury? Because Director Wu wants to see you tomorrow morning, so you can see if you have time to be discharged from the hospital tomorrow morning."
time!"
Mr. Zhou didn't know whether Lu Fumeng was real or fake, but she still wanted to stimulate Liang Anni and said with a smile: "No problem, I will go see Director Wu tomorrow!"
The expression on Liang Anni's face is a bit complicated, but no matter how complicated it is, it must be ugly...
Although Lu Fumeng was not looking for Huang Jue, Huang Jue was also sincerely happy for Mr. Zhou at this time and looked at Liang Anni proudly: "Liang Cuifen, it's a good idea to leave!"
