Chapter 712 Romance of the Three Kingdoms (4100+ chapters, please subscribe~)

In Hengdian in September, although there are occasional breezes, the temperature remains unabated.

However, the lively movement here still makes people feel that this place is full of hope.

Since 1987, Hengdian has started to build its own film and television city, and now it has been four years, but there are still many filming bases under construction!

At this time, Hengdian Culture also realized that the previous negotiation with the investor was in trouble, because the investment of 1 million US dollars had been spent two years ago. During these two years, Fengge Films and Tangting Cultural Joint invested an additional US$1 million.

If it weren't for Hengdian Culture's ability to continuously provide land, their shareholding would probably not even be 5%!

Now Hengdian Culture’s share in Hengdian Film and Television City has changed from 10% at the beginning to 5.8% now
However, when Wu Jianye came to Hengdian Film and Television City, the crowd density here still couldn't be compared with later generations, and there was no way.

At present, the domestic film and television industry has not yet been fully commercialized, and the rights to make films are still firmly in the hands of several major studios and various TV stations.

And several major film studios also have their own film and television studios. For shooting in Hengdian, it will increase the cost.

Hengdian Film and Television City is open to the film crew for free, but the cost of food and clothing for the film crew is still a considerable expense.

Except for a few rich and powerful crews, the crews who came here to film still have no way to compare with the later generations!

However, the reputation of Hengdian Film and Television City has already started, and many aspiring directors began to contact Hengdian Film and Television City to inquire about the shooting progress here.

Let's put it this way, the development of Hengdian Film and Television City is still based on the future!

However, Wu Jianye was still at a filming base and saw the crowds!

This crew is CCTV's biggest project "Romance of the Three Kingdoms" in recent years!
Originally in another time and space, the filming base of "Romance of the Three Kingdoms" was in Zhuozhou. At that time, the investment of "Romance of the Three Kingdoms" was 1.7 million yuan, of which [-] million was used to build the filming base, but Wang Fulin was in charge of "Romance of the Three Kingdoms" ", immediately contacted Hengdian Film and Television City and asked if they could build a filming base of this scale.

The management of Hengdian Film and Television City immediately agreed to Wang Fulin’s request after a meeting and discussion. In Hengdian Film and Television City, the construction of the Three Kingdoms scene began, including the Han City Wall, streets, and Tongque Terrace. At the same time, the filming of the TV series "Tang Minghuang" , also moved to Hengdian Film and Television City.

Therefore, the Hengdian Film and Television City at this time has long been very different from the Hengdian Film and Television City in another time and space. The Hengdian Film and Television City here will become a larger film and television shooting base than the other time and space.

Wu Jianye came to Hengdian Film and Television City this time just to visit here. As the most important filming base in China in the future, Wu Jianye will naturally inspect it in person. At the same time, when Wu Jianye comes this time, he will also enact more plans.

Xu Rong was right next to Wu Jianye. Looking at Wu Jianye at this time, he felt a lot of emotion in his heart. He was naturally very satisfied with the development of Hengdian Film and Television City, but for the shares in Hengdian Film and Television City in his hand, But very troubled.

Hengdian Film and Television City is now open to tourism. If we talk about which industries are the hottest in China in the early days of reform and opening up, tourism is definitely one of the best.

As for Hengdian Film and Television City, as the largest film and television base in China at this time, although it has not yet reached the scale in Wu Jianye's mind, in Xu Rong's eyes, it is already a tourist attraction, and its tourism income is already very enviable. that's it.

Accompanied by the leaders of Hengdian Film and Television City, Wu Jianye came to the shooting scene of "Romance of the Three Kingdoms" slowly. It was a coincidence that Wu Jianye came here just in time for Director Wang Fulin to lead the actors to give a lecture.

In fact, the filming of "Romance of the Three Kingdoms" is handed down in the same vein as "Journey to the West" and "Dream of Red Mansions". They were all led by CCTV. After Wang Fulin finished directing "Dream of Red Mansions", he was immediately announced as the general director of "Romance of the Three Kingdoms". up.

In June last year, the leading group of "Romance of the Three Kingdoms" was established, and in August, the screenwriting group was established. At this time, the crew has also begun to choose actors.

Actor Selection Li Fazeng and Gu Fengli visited Beijing Film Studio, Bayi Factory, Renyi, Qingyi, Children's Art, General Political Department, Air Administration and other units, and confirmed the first batch of 78 candidates; The video data of the actors came, and sent three assistant directors to various places to find actors.

The selection of actors has been carried out for nearly 10 months and ended at the end of May this year.

After the role was basically determined, the crew originally planned to hold a study class in Yanjing, but later it was Hengdian Film and Television City, which proposed sponsorship to the crew. In the end, Wang Fulin changed the study class of the crew to Hengdian, mainly to save money
In the study class, 6 experts taught the actors respectively, covering the background of the Three Kingdoms era, etiquette of the Han Dynasty, customs of the Han Dynasty, ancient wars and formations, adaptations of classics, etc.

Let's not talk about the current film and TV shooting methods and technology, just the seriousness of these scripts is not acceptable to the crew of later generations.

In fact, the shooting has already started in March this year, and it can be regarded as shooting while studying.

By the way, the salaries of these actors, the main actors, are all 250.
Tang Guoqiang laughed and said that everyone is two hundred and five
In fact, there are still many connections between Tangting culture and the crew of "Romance of the Three Kingdoms". For example, all the costumes and props used by the crew of "Romance of the Three Kingdoms" today are provided by aunt props.

The arrival of Wu Jianye and others immediately attracted the attention of director Wang Fulin and others. After seeing Wu Jianye, director Wang Fulin also came over immediately.

"Director Wu, I've heard that you've returned to China a long time ago, but I didn't expect to see you here!" Wang Fulin said with a smile.

When filming "Dream of Red Mansions", Wang Fulin got a lot of help from Wu Jianye, and now he is very happy to see Wu Jianye!

Wu Jianye said with a smile: "Director Wang, I also know that you are filming here, so I came here specially to study, to study, so I didn't bother you!"

Wang Fulin said modestly: "There is no such director now, dare to teach Wu Dao!"

A simple sentence can describe Wu Jianye's current director status in China, which is as high as several floors.
Although Wang Fulin is a veteran director in China, he also knows what Wu Jianye has achieved now.

Then Wang Fulin introduced some important personnel of the crew to Wu Jianye, such as several production directors of "Romance of the Three Kingdoms", among them the bearded Zhang Jizhong.

Wu Jianye also smiled and shook hands with everyone. When it came to actors, Wu Jianye was more interested. Bao Guoan played Cao Cao, Sun Yanjun played Liu Bei, and Tang Yuqiang played Zhuge Liang.
"Director Wu, thanks to the help of Hengdian Film and Television City this time, otherwise our crew would have spent a lot of money!" Ren Dahui, the planner and producer of "Romance of the Three Kingdoms", thanked with a smile.

Wu Jianye showed a wry smile and said, "To be honest, if I knew about this, I would definitely let Hengdian Film and Television City not accept your job!"

Everyone was slightly taken aback, not understanding why Wu Jianye said that.

Then Wu Jianye explained with a smile: "If Hengdian Film and Television City doesn't accept this job, our Tangting Culture can buy the overseas copyright of "Romance of the Three Kingdoms" again!"

Ren Dahui, Wang Fulin and the others burst out laughing after hearing this.

The previous "Journey to the West" directly let Tangting Culture buy all the copyrights, and the overseas copyright of "Dream of Red Mansions" was also sold to Tangting Culture at a low price. Now the leaders of CCTV still regret it.

"Even if we voted by ourselves, we won't sell it to you this time!" Ren Dahui laughed.

Although it is said with a smile, it is also the truth. With the lessons learned from the previous two TV series, it is impossible for CCTV to sell overseas copyrights to Tangting Culture even if it sells everything.

Among the actors, Wu Jianye also saw two other familiar faces.

He Qing, Chen Hong!
Compared with the same period in another time and space, the popularity of both of them is much higher, but when they received the script of "Romance of the Three Kingdoms", they still chose to join this drama.

This is actually related to the background of this era, one is because this drama is the most important drama of CCTV in recent years, and the other is that this generation has a deep impression on the novel "Romance of the Three Kingdoms".

It is everyone's dream to be able to participate in it.

Both stood in the crowd, looking at Wu Jianye from afar, with different moods.

He Qing had already hidden her feelings for Wu Jianye deeply in her heart at this time, and it was precisely because of Wu Jianye's appearance that she was supposed to be in love with Liu Wei at this time, but now this relationship is naturally gone Appeared.

At this time, Chen Hong's heart was also full of twists and turns. In the past two years, there were many suitors around her, and even Teng Bloody had approached her several times, but Chen Hong rejected them all.

Now the two of them saw Wu Jianye standing there talking and laughing happily with Wang Fulin, Ren Dahui and others, and they were also very emotional.

Wu Jianye naturally saw the two of them.

He waved with a smile and called the two of them over.

"How is it? Are you still used to being in Director Wang's crew?" Wu Jianye asked with a smile.

Chen Hong said first: "I'm used to it, I'm quite used to it!"

"Well, Director Wang is one of the best TV drama directors in our country. Following Director Wang well will allow you to learn a lot, and don't lose face of our dignified culture!" Wu Jianye said with a smile.

The two are different from other actors. Other actors are actors from several major studios or people's art and other places, but both of them are actors of dignified culture.

Wang Fulin smiled and said: "The actors taught by Director Wu must be fine, but let them follow us in the filming, a little bit wronged, and there is no way to compare with Director Wu's crew even in food and lodging!"

Although the crew of "Romance of the Three Kingdoms" has entertainment from Hengdian Film and Television City in Hengdian, their treatment is still not comparable to Wu Jianye's crew. In fact, in this era, no domestic crew can compare with Wu Jianye's. compared to the crew.

Even the daily food expenses are not the same. The crew of "Romance of the Three Kingdoms" lived in a hotel with four people, how could it be compared with Wu Jianye!

Especially when filming "Legend of the New White Snake", the entire crew lived in star-rated hotels plus standard rooms.
Wu Jianye smiled and said, "Director Wang, you are being polite. By the way, will the two of them's roles end next year?"

When He Qing and Chen Hong heard what Wu Jianye said, they immediately showed surprise expressions, and the other actors also showed envious expressions. Wu Jianye would definitely not just ask casually.

As the news of Wu Jianye's return to China spreads in China, it can be said that everyone is waiting for the news of Wu Jianye's new film. Now Wu Jianye actually asks the time of the two of them in person. Obviously, he wants to use it in the new film. There are two of them!

Director Wang Fulin showed a slightly embarrassed expression, but he still asked, "What time does Director Wu hope to be next year?"

Wu Jianye thought for a while, and said, "Maybe in March or April!"

Wang Fulin thought for a while, and said: "The time should be about the same. I will shoot more scenes of the two during this time, and try to finish filming the scenes of the two at that time. Chen Hong should be fine. As for He Qing, there is no problem now." There is a way to give you an accurate time, Director Wu!"

Chen Hong played the role of Diao Chan in "The Romance of the Three Kingdoms", and the role ended earlier than He Qing's role of Xiao Qiao.

After Chen Hong listened to it, the joy on his face became even more intense. Participating in other directors' movies or TV shows is at most to increase his domestic popularity, but if he participates in Wu Jianye's movie, it is not a domestic movie. Visibility is so easy!

As for He Qing, she is a little depressed, but she is more professional than Chen Hong. Now that she has accepted the role of "Romance of the Three Kingdoms", she wants to finish filming this TV series seriously.

As for Wu Jianye's play, we can only see the situation here!
Wu Jianye nodded and said, "Okay then, I'll leave this matter to Director Wang!"

Wang Fulin said: "Okay, but, Director Wu, if it involves the two of them needing to make up shots"

Wu Jianye said: "When the time comes, I will let him go!"

"Then there is no problem!"

Then Wu Jianye said to He Qing and Chen Hong: "The company will reserve the two of you next year. You two will be the two leading actresses in my next movie. Are you two okay?"

Although in the conversation just now, the two had already guessed that Wu Jianye wanted them to act as actors in his movie, but now hearing Wu Jianye's own confession, they couldn't help but say happily: "No problem!"

Wu Jianye nodded.

The direction of the new movie, Wu Jianye basically has a direction, and now he is revising the script, and Chen Hong and He Qing are the two main heroines appointed by him, and now only the male protagonist and important male supporting roles are left!
Seeing that the time was almost up, when Wu Jianye was about to leave, Ren Dahui suddenly came to Wu Jianye's side.

"Director Wu, there's something I've been wondering about, and I want to discuss it with you!"

Wu Jianye was slightly taken aback, and asked, "What's the matter?"

Ren Dahui looked around, Wu Jianye smiled and said, "Let's go, let's go back to the hotel and talk about it!"

Ren Dahui nodded!
