This director is very reliable

Chapter 659 Reminiscing about the Past (45)

After a simple audition, Shen Changlin is ready to go to a game...

Pharaoh's appointment meal.

King of Light!

In fact, Light is also the producer of "The Ancient City". At that time, Lao Wang lent 15 billion to Changlin Film and Television in one lump sum, and participated in the investment of the "Ghost Blowing Lamp" series and "Chinatown Detective" series...

But... the investment share of "The Ancient City of Essence" was sold to Wanda at a premium by Guangguang, so Wanda is the second largest investor in "The Ancient City of Essence"!
It's not that Lao Wang is not optimistic that "The Ancient City of Essence" can make a profit, but Wanda doubled the premium——50 million investment, and sold it to Wanda for 50 million, and made [-] million without doing anything.

I guess I want to continue investing in "Longling Miku"...

At least seek a joint production position, the secondary market is also good for telling stories!
——"Exquisite Ancient City" was released for 14.8 days, with a cumulative box office of 3.8 billion, 4.6 million for the next weekend, and [-] million for six working days...

"The Exquisite Ancient City" is the pioneering work of the "Ghost Blowing the Lantern" series, and there will be several movies in the same series released after that!

The opening is very good, and the probability of "Longling Miku" is very high.

In fact, recently, many people want to get close to Shen Changlin - a project that will definitely pay off, and many people covet this piece of cake.

However, the "Ghost Blowing Lantern" project has already cut the cake. The Blowing Lantern Studio jointly established by Changlin Film and Television, China Film, and the five major theaters, including several leading actors and director teams, also accounted for 10% of the investment...

If other companies want to invest, they can only buy joint production quotas from other producers at a premium.

light...

Let's see what conditions Lao Wang offers!

Call Guo Songjiang together.

……

Hotel, box.

Chen Yao first talked about the audition process. In fact, the director took a look and asked her to perform a few basic expressions...

"Basic expression?"

Chen Yao explained: "It's a smile, a wry smile, and a smile with tears..."

"Are you done?"

"Hmm..." Chen Yao looked at Jiao Junyan: "Where is Sister Jiao?"

Jiao Junyan smiled wryly: "I didn't make an expression at all, just looked me up and down, and then let me go out..."

Kan Qingzi answered: "Me too!"

"Chang Lin's casting is like this," Shi Shi said: "He believes in choosing actors for roles, and he doesn't believe in actors choosing roles..."

What do you mean?
Zhao Shan explained: "Yes, he chooses actors based on roles, and never changes roles for actors!"

Shi Shi nodded: "If it's suitable, he can tell at a glance... If it's suitable, then pay attention to the actor's acting skills, if not, then consider alternatives..."

"So, neither of us even passed the primary election?"

Shi Shi spread his hands: "The image is not suitable, what can I do... I really want to play "Ghost", but Changlin didn't choose me!"

Speaking of this, I looked at Chen Yao and said: "Xiao Chen, let me tell you, Changlin's filming seldom restricts the performance of actors, nor does he deliberately frame how the actors must act, but depends more on the actors themselves, so, You must be familiar with the script, it is best to treat the words more with the counterpart actors, and find a good feeling in advance..."

"I have Uncle Liu Yijun's contact information..."

"Then you two can get in touch with each other in advance..."

Zhao Shan ordered the dishes, took the "Blame You Are Too Beautiful" handed over by Jiao Junyan, smiled and said: "This is a workplace drama, it can be regarded as a drama that exposes the circle, and the heroine is a manager!"

"You know?"

"Of course I know, this is an S-rated online drama, and iQiyi broadcasts it exclusively. We have made two in total, and one is called "Queen of Hot Searches". Let's see how popular "Too Beautiful" is..."

Shi Shi's eyes lit up: "'Hot Search Queen'? Are you talking about Big Honey?"

Zhao Shan hurriedly said: "We are fictional..."

Kan Qingzi relieved: "Sister Shan, what about this one?"

""Escape from Shame"..." Seeing the title of the play, Zhao Shan was a little surprised: "Wow, is this play given to you?"

"...Is this S-rank?"

Zhao Shan nodded: "Well, and this script was planned by Chang Lin himself, and at one point even wanted to direct it by himself...I told you that the leading actor is Chen Xiao, so you know the weight of this drama!"

Jiao Junyan hurriedly asked: "Then sister Shan, where is the leading actor in "Too Beautiful"?"

"We contacted Gao Yixiang... I happened to be with you!"

"Meet Wang Lichuan" Well...

After chatting for a while, the topic shifted to "Exquisite Ancient City".

Jiao Junyan suddenly said: "Why do I feel that Mr. Shen doesn't seem to care much about the box office of "Exquisite Ancient City"?"

"…How to say?"

"I haven't seen him post on Weibo!"

"...Didn't he forward several comments!"

"In the past, every time a movie was released, he would take the lead in promoting it..."

Zhao Shan smiled: "Changlin Film and Television Propaganda Department has about 100 people, and the public relations department and distribution department add up to about [-] people. These people are not free-spirited! If every movie needs Changlin shouting and publicity , then he won’t have to do anything all year round!”

Shi Shi added: "The marketing and publicity expenses of "Exquisite Ancient City" are almost [-] million!"

"so much?"

"It looks like a lot, but this is paving the way for the entire "Ghost Blowing Lantern" series!"

……

"I remember that you seemed to go to Huayi first?"

"...Yes, I thought Hua Yi was amazing at that time!"

Here is also a box, four people, Wang Changtian, Li Xiaoping, Guo Songjiang, and Shen Changlin, are chatting about "Embroidered Spring Knife"...

Reminiscing about the old days!
"How did Hua Yi reject you?"

"...didn't reject it directly, but said, 'You are so rich, you can vote yourself!'..." Speaking of this, Shen Changlin looked at Li Xiaoping gratefully: "I asked sister Xiaoping when I picked up, and said Just read the outline of the story of "Embroidered Spring Knife", and then you can directly ask me how much it costs to make it..."

"You said 800 million!"

"Aren't I afraid that asking too high a price will scare you!"

Li Xiaoping shook her head: "I heard your idea at the time, and I knew that this drama would not be able to hold without 1500 million. If Hong Kong and Taiwan stars were used, at least another 500 million would be needed..."

"At that time, celebrities from Hong Kong and Taiwan were all inflated."

Guo Songjiang interjected: "Then how dare you invest?"

Wang Changtian was happy: "We calculated it at the time. With Changlin's appeal, "Xiu Chun Knife" can earn at least 30 million box office, and then sell the copyright, how can we recover the cost..."

"So, I've been wondering, hasn't Hua Yi calculated it?"

Shen Changlin explained himself: "At that time, Huayi was thinking of going public, and didn't like this small investment..."

"I remember that Hua Yi was also the one who was looking for "Lost in Thailand" at the beginning?"

"No, "Lost in Thailand" was originally looking for Pony Pentium. When they heard that they were going to Thailand for filming, they directly rejected it. Later, they contacted Huayi. The people in Huayi looked down on Xu Zheng..."

"Hua Yi really can't keep up now..."

"Which is their biggest movie of the year?"

""Heavenly General"?"

"Isn't "Heroes" invested by Shanghai Film and Yaolai?"

"Huayi is also the main controlling investor..."

Tucao Huayi and the Huang family brothers are standard items for this group of people to have dinner.

However, after reminiscing about the old days, "The Ancient City of Essence" was still mentioned, Wang Changtian said: "Is "The Ancient City of Essence" about to break 2 billion?"
