Chapter 337 Bringing capital into the group and launching the press conference
"Dududu..."
"I'm sorry, Brother Fing, I didn't hear you just now... Hey, tell me!"
"Dududu..."
"Okay, I understand. I'll be there on time at two o'clock in the afternoon..."
"Dududu..."
"Ok, bye!"
In East Mianmian Hutong, He Xin was sitting on his bicycle, leaning on his long legs and talking on the phone. There happened to be a car behind him honking its horn as if urging him to do so. He stepped aside to leave enough space for passage, but the car behind him
Still honking the horn.
He was usually good-tempered, but at this moment he couldn't help but get angry. After hanging up the call from Dong Wei, he turned around and saw an off-road vehicle like a small tank following behind him, with a row of capital letters on the front.
"LAND ROVER".
The car was turning on the turn signal and was about to pull over. Only then did He Xin realize that he had blocked someone else's parking space. No wonder the horn kept honking.
At this moment, he saw a young and beautiful girl sticking her head out from the driver's seat window, waving at him and saying, "I'm sorry, Teacher He."
When He Xin took a look, it turned out to be the famous rich second generation from the 02-level acting class. It seemed that he was from the same hometown, and they were from the same province and the same city.
Maybe it was because he was too hard in his previous life that he subconsciously had a resistance to this kind of wealthy second generation, so he didn't have much contact with them. Occasionally, he just said hello.
"Oh, it's okay, it's okay."
He waved his hand to the girl, held the car in his hand, and moved out of the way. Just as he was about to ride away, he heard the girl shout from behind: "Teacher He, wait a minute."
This girl's driving skills are poor. The small tank-like Land Rover off-road vehicle moved forward and then reversed, and the vehicle was safely backed into a narrow parking space in one go.
I saw her getting out of the car carrying a pink Chanel bag, jogging over happily, running to He Xin, grinning and saying: "Teacher He, school hasn't even started yet, so you are so positive!"
"Well, I made an appointment with Teacher Chang."
At the end of August, although students have not started school, the teacher has already gone to work early. He will join the group in two days. He came today to register in advance and go through the formalities. At the same time, he also got the teaching materials and class notes.
After accepting the role of "Seven Swords", he will also guest star in Wang Xiaoshuai's "I'm Nineteen". He will definitely not be able to attend the first semester of the fourth grade class. Fortunately, Mrs. Chang is also very supportive of him. She is still treating him as before.
It's a green light all the way.
"Why are you here today?"
After all, the girl took the initiative to say hello, and besides, we were all fellow villagers, so He Xin also asked.
"I have nothing to do at home, so I came to play with my classmates!" the girl said with a smile.
He Xin thought the same thing. Although he was from his hometown, he was a rich second generation, and he was not an ordinary rich second generation. He belonged to a wealthy family. They had large villas and high-end apartments in the capital a few years ago.
, so they are no different from people in the capital.
It is said that China National Theater is not like other schools, where everyone runs out during the winter and summer vacations. Because China National Opera does not allow first- and second-year students to go out to film, many students will use their vacation time, especially during the summer vacation, to film films and commercials.
And when you reach the third or fourth grade, you have to start looking for a job, working on the set, and submitting resumes. Students come from all over the world, but due to the particularity of the industry, most resources are concentrated in the capital, so most students will choose to study during their summer vacation.
Stay in school, look for opportunities, and earn extra money. Just like when Cheng Hao was in college, he would go home during the winter vacation to celebrate the New Year, and stay in the capital during the summer to film movies and commercials to earn money.
"Mr. He, I heard that your studio is going to shoot a TV series?" the girl then asked.
He Xin couldn't help but be stunned for a moment. In less than half a month, it had already spread throughout the city.
But then I thought about it, Shang Jing had already started to form a team, maybe the news came from him.
He could only vaguely say: "Well, I haven't even written the horoscope yet."
But the girl pursed her lips and smiled and said: "Teacher He, if possible, can you give me a chance?"
"Well, everything is still unknown now. Let's see when the time comes, okay?"
Speaking of which, it is tantamount to rejection in disguise.
And now that this topic is mentioned, He Xin is really annoyed.
A negotiation with Shandong Film and Television was not going well. The other party was willing to contribute money, and even offered a big share, on the condition that the other party would enjoy part of the copyright. He Xin would definitely not agree to this. He was interested in "Wulin Gaiden" except that it was a phenomenon.
In addition to the first-class sitcom, what is more important is the cultural derivatives that followed.
Reading this, some readers may ask, you were a scumbag who had never seen the world in your previous life. You didn’t even know Wang Xiaoshuai at the time, so how come you now know such a lofty term as “cultural derivatives”.
It was actually because the later online game "Wulin Gaiden" had too many advertisements online, and it was said to be very popular.
The other one is the last time I returned to Qingdao, his wise words, detailed analysis and thoughtful words touched the depths of my girlfriend’s soul, but this little girl is really stubborn and has still not given a definite answer after considering it.
reply.
He sees that he is about to join the crew to film in Xinjiang Province, and he has been gone for more than three months, but the most important thing has not made any progress. Can he not be upset?
At this moment, facing this girl who was strong and persistent at best, and shameless at worst, if it wasn't for etiquette, he really wanted to turn around and leave.
For one thing, he was originally not very fond of this kind of rich second generation who he regarded as just playing tricks.
Secondly, he was present when they took the art exam for the first time. This girl felt very average in the first exam, but she was still able to pass the re-examination. After the third exam, she was admitted to the Chinese Opera smoothly. At the beginning
He Xin was quite surprised when he first saw her on the Chinese Opera campus. Later he found out that her family was rich and even ranked high in her hometown. As the saying goes, money can make ghosts come true.
Come on, being in a Chinese drama is not a piece of cake.
Although He Xin didn't know much about her current study situation, he subconsciously thought that this girl was definitely not a qualified actress.
Just when he smiled at the girl with an apologetic look and was about to turn around and leave, he heard the girl say: "Teacher He, I can bring money to join the team."
Hey, the term "bringing money into a group" is not unfamiliar to He Xin. I think the actress who starred opposite him in the first TV series "Escape" that he took on was the coal boss who wanted to praise him.
My little lover brought money into the group.
Although I often heard about it later on, I never encountered such nonsense again. I didn’t expect that it would happen again today.
However, this girl did not have a condescending tone. On the contrary, her attitude was very sincere.
To be honest, he was still very tempted when he heard the words "bringing capital into the group". The current negotiations with Shandong Film and Television have reached a deadlock. What he lacks most now is funds. At present, what the studio can provide includes his savings, which is only
It's only about three million. If he can bring in another investor, maybe he won't have to mortgage his house.
But the temptation is instantaneous. This is a project that is obviously making money. Why should you let others get a share of the pie? Of course, if you have the resources, that is another matter. Just like Shandong Film and Television, which has strong distribution capabilities and its own
Can provide a broadcast platform.
"I'm sorry, Chen Xi, I can't talk about this for a while. I'll talk about it later."
He could only fight this girl named Chen Xi again haha.
It could be seen that Chen Xi was quite disappointed, but he still grinned and said: "That can only be like this, but Teacher He, if you really have a chance in the future, don't forget me!"
"Uh, definitely, definitely!"
(This girl named Chen Xi is no ordinary person. There is a foreshadowing here.)
…
On August 30th, the launch conference will be held.
He Xin arrived relatively early, and as soon as he entered the lounge, he saw a long-lost figure.
"Sister Zhang, long time no see!"
"Axin, long time no see!"
Today, Senior Sister Zhang is dressed in a dress. Her long shawl hair has obviously been carefully taken care of. It hangs down straight and is still shiny. She is wearing a bright silver suspender dress. Fortunately, the skirt is dotted with a
There are layers of folds, otherwise it looks like a hairtail fish from a distance.
It's just that compared to last year when she was afraid of "Peacock", Senior Sister Zhang has obviously tanned a lot. Also, I heard that she has been filming in Yunnan some time ago and didn't even participate in the pre-production training.
"When did you come back?"
"I just arrived last night, and I was worried that I wouldn't be able to catch up with today's press conference." Zhang Jingchu pursed her lips and smiled.
I don't know why, but every time I see this Senior Sister Zhang, He Xin always feels that under her as pale as a chrysanthemum, there seems to be a restless heart hidden, and she is also very wild, so that
He didn't dare to look at the other person's smart eyes.
After a while, a large team of people arrived, and except for Zhen Zhu, all the main creatives were present.
Xu Ke even came limping with a cane. It is said that when he went to Xinjiang Province last time to scout for locations, he accidentally fell and broke his foot. He had been in a wheelchair some time ago. It seemed that
The injury healed quite quickly.
Due to their previous equestrian and swordsmanship training, except for Senior Sister Zhang who just returned from Yunnan yesterday, everyone else is already very familiar with it.
After everyone chatted for a while, a staff member opened the door and came in to say a few words to Xu Ke and Shi Nansheng. Mr. Xu clapped his hands and informed: "It's OK over there, everyone, get ready, let's dogs!"
The venue was a special hall. Behind the rostrum, a large air-printed poster of "Seven Swords" with the characteristics of Chinese ink painting almost covered the entire wall. In order to match the back pattern, the table of the rostrum was specially covered with black velvet.
The tablecloth looks very stylish.
According to the routine, the staff had already prepared notes before going on stage. They were all questions that reporters might ask, and then there were some routine answers.
There are name tags on the tables. Director Xu Laoguai and producer Shi Nansheng are of course sitting in the middle. Li Min and Yang Caini are on both sides. He Xin is sitting next to Li Min, and on the other side is Korean actress Kim So Yeon.
The Goryeo slave girl Luzhu she plays is the actor who has the most opposite roles with He Xin in the script. Today is the first time the two of them met. When he saw her coming in in the lounge before, He Xin was a little surprised.
Kim So Yeon is indeed very beautiful, but I don’t know if it is original.
"Seven Swords" is a blockbuster film that is almost as good as "The Promise" in terms of investment scale, cast, and director's reputation. Today's launch conference naturally attracted countless media. There were so many media.
, it is said that the media present at the scene were carefully selected by the producer, and many reporters from the media were not allowed in and could only guard the door of the press conference.
At the beginning of the press conference, most of them went to the director.
For example, why do you want to film the content of "Seven Swords"? It is also a martial arts film, about "House of Flying Daggers", what do you think of the director, etc., etc. are quite satisfactory questions.
There are also currently hot topics such as whether Song Seung-heon's withdrawal and Zhen Zhen's replacement will have an impact on the movie.
In fact, although Xu Ke originally selected Song Seung-hun to play the role of Chu Zhaonan in Youlongjian, it was a long time ago that Song Seung-heon withdrew and re-cast Zhen Dan. However, the crew chose to reveal it at this time before the start of filming. It is nothing more than a kind of publicity.
Routines.
Mr. Xu answered these questions in a friendly and humorous manner, and sometimes Shi Nansheng and action director Liu Jialiang, who were sitting nearby, would also help chat with them.
The overall atmosphere of the press conference was quite warm and harmonious.
At this moment, a guy wearing glasses suddenly came out and asked: "In 2000, your "The Legend of Shushan" used a lot of stunts, but it didn't seem to be recognized by the audience. In this drama, you returned to the "real kung fu" style.
Status, what do you think of the use of stunts and your style?"
Regarding the topic of "The Legend of Shushan", Old Monster Xu had obviously been prepared for it, but his expression was not as relaxed as before. He said a little more seriously: "Actually, for "The Legend of Shushan", it is not the audience's problem with the special effects, but ours.
The concept and objective conditions did not match, which led to our inability to complete the idea at the time. Money, talent, and time were all conditions. Later, when we saw "The Lord of the Rings", we felt: Yes, this is what we want. So, now
Special effects are not a problem anymore, the key is the concept. As for style, everyone has different martial arts styles at different stages. What we should follow is the style of the original author's novel and should be a representation of the world of his work."
As soon as he finished speaking, Liu Jialiang immediately added: "Realism means that the kung fu is very real. Each of the seven swords brings out the personality of each person. The person is very chic, but he can't fly around."
That's right, as an old-school action director in Hong Kong, Liu Jialiang has always upheld and advocated realistic kung fu films.
As the press conference progressed, reporters began to focus on several big stars, including Li Min, Yang Caini, and the recently popular Lu Yi. They were all targets of reporters.
Of course, as the biggest villain and having just finished starring in director Chen's "The Promise", He Xin naturally encountered a lot of problems.
