With the help of Tong Huajun, the crew's filming went very smoothly on the second day. The relevant local departments were very cooperative with the crew's work and could even be said to be escorting them.
For example, in the first scene of the movie, the protagonist takes a train to Shenzhen City. During the filming of this scene, the train station provided very good cooperation. A special carriage was set aside for the filming of the movie. After that, the male protagonist went to get food.
The marketing work was also coordinated and coordinated by the relevant local departments, and the shooting went very smoothly.
Therefore, the first few exterior shots of this movie are more down-to-earth and more real than the original work. The scenes look contemporary, rather than blurred out like in the original work.
The first day of filming went very smoothly. After Chen Feng finished his work and returned to the hotel, Su Qian also brought him good news.
She has signed a formal cooperation agreement with Deng Xiaoli on behalf of Summit Entertainment. Summit Entertainment is responsible for the production and distribution of her mini-album. The revenue is divided between 40% and 60%. Deng Xiaoli only gets 40%, and Summit Entertainment gets 60% after adding the copyright of lyrics and music.
And is responsible for all production costs and promotion costs of the mini album.
Originally, the negotiators sent by Tong Huajun did not agree with this distribution plan. Their basic salary was 50-50. Of course, all expenses had to be paid by Summit Entertainment. Deng Xiaoli was only responsible for singing and recording.
And he doesn’t take the initiative to promote songs.
Even so, it cannot be said that the other party's conditions are harsh, because Deng Xiaoli's celebrity status is here, and her influence is even greater. If she releases a record now, it will definitely be a profitable business.
Su Qian had previously received authorization from Chen Feng and insisted that Summit Entertainment take 60%. This was not for the purpose of making money, but for a win-win situation and a certain degree of dominance. In addition, they felt that the company
It should be 60%.
After all, the copyright of several songs is in the hands of Summit Entertainment, which means that the initiative is in the hands of Summit Entertainment. Even if Summit Entertainment does not cooperate with Deng Xiaoli, they can still find other singers to cooperate, and they will definitely be able to make this mini album
Sold very good sales.
Therefore, Deng Xiaoli finally agreed after asking Deng Xiaoli for her opinion, and the agreement also stated that the profits gained after the release of this mini album will be used for charity and public welfare activities after deducting relevant costs. As for
The two parties will coordinate with each other on how to carry out charity.
Su Qian quite appreciates the boss Chen Feng's business of selling records for charity, but she can't understand the real purpose of how Chen Feng operates.
The purpose of Chen Feng's doing this is very simple, which is to promote the movie and positive publicity for him and Summit Entertainment. Besides, he is not short of money now, so he should use part of the money to repay the society and do charity.
To avoid being criticized for being rich and unkind.
In addition, Deng Xiaoli wants to use all the money she earns from selling records for charity. If Summit Entertainment and Chen Feng keep all the money they make and use it for themselves, they will definitely be criticized and attacked. So they might as well use the money.
, do charity together with Deng Xiaoli. This can also become a good story in the music and entertainment circles.
And with this good story, it will be very helpful for the promotion of the movie "Sweet Honey", and it will also be very positive for the promotion of Chen Feng himself and Summit Entertainment. At that time, we can definitely make up for it in terms of the movie box office.
return.
"Boss, if we do charity together with Deng Xiaoli, our company's economic losses will be relatively large. Because I preliminary estimate that the mini album she paid for will sell at least tens of millions of copies online and offline. By then, our share will be
It must be more than 10 million, or even more than 100 million. Do you really need to use all this money for charity?" After Su Qian came back, she directly raised her question to Chen Feng.
After Chen Feng glanced at her, he expressed his thoughts.
"Since the cooperation agreement with Teacher Deng has stated that the money earned will be used for charity, then we must do it. We cannot cheat in this regard. In addition, the main reason why we do this is to treat us
The company carries out positive publicity. At that time, you will be responsible for hyping this matter on the Internet and in the media. When we do charity, there is no need to be secretive, but we must publicize it in a big way. This is conducive to the positive publicity of our company.
Also, if we do this, it will also be a very good publicity for the movie "Sweet Honey". By then, it should be able to increase the movie's box office."
Su Qian roughly thought of what Chen Feng said, nodded slightly and said: "I can understand what you said, but this time the income I expect from Teacher Deng's record is too great. Our company suddenly spread the word
I think this much money is a bit too much. After all, it’s tens of millions, or even hundreds of millions.”
Chen Feng chuckled and said: "You have to have a higher vision. We, Summit Entertainment, are destined to become the leader in the domestic entertainment industry. There is no need to feel so distressed for just tens of millions. After all, you will get something if you give up."
Susie resisted the urge to roll her eyes, but still persuaded: "Boss, our company is not short of money now, and you personally are not short of money. But our company needs to expand, recruit people, and invest in new projects. Which one?"
Don’t need money? You can’t just spend money too casually.”
Chen Feng said angrily: "I am doing charity, not making money. What's more, our Summit Entertainment is cooperating with Teacher Deng Xiaoli this time. What a big deal it is. Invisibly, our Summit Entertainment, a small company, has been forced to
The price has gone up several levels. This is equivalent to a huge advertisement for our company. Just treat this money as advertising fees."
Susie thought about it carefully, and it seemed that this was the truth, and she couldn't say anything for a while.
"Okay, it's a little late. You should go back and rest first. Tomorrow you will also help sort out the financial expenses of our crew."
Su Qian nodded and left. She was Chen Feng's assistant, but after all, it was already night, and she was alone in Chen Feng's room, so it was somewhat inappropriate.
However, she knew that there was nothing really innocent between her and Chen Feng. Even though she was very beautiful, Chen Feng really only regarded him as an assistant.
In the next few days, the crew's work continued to go very smoothly, and almost 25% of the previous scenes had been filmed.
The next filming was an intimate scene between the male and female protagonists, which can be regarded as a small highlight of this superficially bland literary film.
In the film, the male protagonist Li Xiaojun and the female protagonist Li Qiao have been in love for a long time. Once in the narrow rental house where Li Xiaojun rented, they ate dumplings together and washed the dishes together. Then the female protagonist left and the male protagonist dressed her.
I wore one item first, then the second item...but it took a long time to wear the second item.
In a small space, the male protagonist dressed the female protagonist. Neither of them spoke, and then they naturally approached each other and kissed each other, and the rest happened naturally.
This intimate scene in the original work is real, there is no borrowing, and there are no substitutes. The effect is also quite good.
Chen Feng originally planned to do this. In the previous communication meeting, when Chen Feng privately discussed this intimate scene with Li Manyu, Li Manyu also acquiesced to the realistic filming of this scene.
But now that the filming has officially started, during the first audition, both of them looked a little unnatural, and their movements seemed clumsy and inconsistent. This made both of them very embarrassed.
Chen Feng, the leading actor and director, could only announce that he would not shoot this part and would skip over and shoot other scenes first.
Then, within two days, at this juncture, it happened that the news that Li Manyu was getting divorced was revealed, and some media reported that Li Manyu had cheated on a young famous director. In the end, there was actually some evidence of this kind of report, and Chen was directly
The photo of Feng and Li Manyu meeting at the company that night was posted.
Although the photo was blurry, the two of them were not wearing masks when they were at the company's gate, and their general appearance could still be recognized.
There are pictures and truth, coupled with the deliberate guidance of some unscrupulous media, the entertainment industry was in a state of excitement.
As an actress with five Best Actress crowns, Li Manyu is still quite famous in China. Even though she retired for two years because of getting married and having a daughter, her celebrity status is still there, her fans are still there, and her popularity has not dropped.
too much.
Now because of this suspected cheating scandal, it has made the front pages of major entertainment media. Her popularity and popularity have exploded all of a sudden, and her popularity is even higher than when she was at her peak.
"The former movie queen is suspected of cheating on a young director"
"The actress surnamed Li cheated? Her lover turned out to be him?"
"The youngest blockbuster director is suspected of having a third party involved"
…
These unscrupulous media swarmed in and rushed to report the scandal between Chen Feng and Li Manyu.
The crew of "Sweet Honey" had to suspend filming and came to a standstill due to this sudden and explosive scandal.
"I'm sorry, Director Chen. It's all my fault for causing you trouble."
In the hotel conference room, Li Manyu stood up with an apologetic look and lowered her head to apologize to Chen Feng.
This time, Chen Feng was really unlucky because he just wanted to invite her to the filming, but he didn't expect that she would be the third party now.
Regarding this kind of thing, Chen Feng really didn't expect it, and he was innocently shot.
Chen Feng waved his hands and said: "It's useless to talk about this now. First, we must publicly clarify this matter, otherwise it will be equivalent to our acquiescence."
Li Manyu nodded and said: "Yes. I think so too. This matter must be clarified publicly. The longer it is delayed, the worse it will be for us. Otherwise, let's clarify this matter on Weibo now."
Chen Feng also knew this truth and nodded: "I asked you to come here for a meeting just for this matter. Clarification is the first step, but I suspect that someone is behind this matter, and it will not be calmed down so easily. So.
, we must make plans for the second step."
Li Manyu quickly asked: "Then what should we do for the second part?"
Chen Feng sighed and said: "I don't think the filming of this movie we are cooperating with can only be postponed."
Li Manyu was stunned immediately. This movie was her comeback. She had placed great hopes on it. If the filming was postponed, how could she make a comeback?
However, she can also understand Chen Feng's plan. After all, this movie is a love movie, and now the two of them are the targets of the scandal and are both cheating and being a third party. If they still have to force themselves together to film this kind of love
The film will only reflect the reality of the people.
At this time, Susie suddenly said: "Boss, don't be so negative. In fact, we can continue filming according to the original schedule and take advantage of this opportunity to make this movie popular. In this way, the audience will look forward to this movie very much.
Already."
Jia Yong also said: "Yes, boss. If our crew is shut down now, not to mention the financial losses will be relatively large, and the morale of everyone will be greatly affected. More importantly, it will appear that you and Manyu are guilty of committing crimes."
"
Tong Xiaohui followed up and said: "I also support what they said. You will be clean. If you don't make this movie because of this, then the conspirators behind this incident will succeed."
Chen Feng certainly does not want to stop filming this movie. First of all, there will be financial losses if the filming is stopped, and then it will have a negative effect on the future development of Summit Entertainment.
Summit Entertainment has been running on a prosperous road. If its boss is beaten by everyone and falls into a moral trap at this juncture, it will definitely hinder its further development and growth.
"Sister Manyu, what did you say?" Chen Feng looked at Li Manyu and asked.
After Li Manyu hesitated for a moment, she said firmly: "Continue filming. We must continue filming. We all know that we are innocent. Why should we stop filming because of the frame-up of these unscrupulous media? I
I want to make a successful comeback with this movie and win the Best Actress crown again."
Seeing this, Chen Feng nodded solemnly and said solemnly: "Okay! Then we will continue filming. However, we have to slightly change our response strategy. While publicly clarifying on Weibo, we will not let these gossips make excuses.
The media that reported on us sent a lawyer's letter to sue them."
Li Manyu was stunned for a moment, then nodded in agreement: "Okay. I support you. Although these unscrupulous media are not afraid of lawsuits, we cannot just let them continue to smear us like this."
"Then let's clarify this matter publicly on Weibo now. The two of us will draft the content separately, and then we will discuss it together before releasing it."
Of course, Li Manyu had no objection to this. So, the two of them drafted a clarification statement each. After everyone discussed it together, they issued clarification statements one after another within a few minutes.
Chen Feng's clarification statement here continues his previous style. One word is "rigid".
"I, Chen Feng, solemnly declare that the relationship between me and Ms. Li Manyu is innocent. She is an artist who has just been signed by our Summit Entertainment Company. The photo in the media was at the gate of our Summit Entertainment Company. It was the two of us that night.
Let’s discuss the cooperation and signing of the contract together. Some unscrupulous media are making up stories based on a secretly taken photo. Just wait for my lawyer’s letter. In addition, Ms. Li Manyu and I are cooperating in the filming of "Sweet Honey". This is
It's a romantic movie, and there may even be an intimate scene between the two of us, but we act upright and are not afraid of being framed and slandered by those conspirators. If you have the guts, you can sneak into our crew and secretly film the intimate scene between the two of us.
Okay. In this way, you can make up nonsense again based on pictures."
