Huayu started from the fairy sword

Chapter 262 Preparing for a new movie and recording the Olympic hit!

There are many movies that Cao Jun wants to make, but making movies is not a child's play after all. You have to think clearly about which movies can be made and which ones can't according to the actual situation.

For example, for the movie "I'm Not the God of Medicine", even if Cao Jun wants to make it now, he can't make it, because the current relevant policies will prevent the movie from passing the review.

For example, Cao Jun can't make the big movie "Ghost Blowing the Lantern" now. One is because of the huge investment, and the other is that the special effects technology is not enough.

As for literary and artistic films, Cao Jun didn't even think about it. He was better than the international superstar Jet Li. His "Ocean Paradise" only took 1400 million at the box office.

Therefore, Cao Jun's first film as a director must not be a literary film, nor a blockbuster film, but a low-cost film.

For a small-budget movie, if you want to make a big impact, you can only win in terms of content and subject matter.

Originally, Cao Jun wanted to make the comedy "People on the Journey", but he considered that there was no suitable role for him in this movie, and he couldn't play the protagonist of this movie, so he had to give up this idea.

Cao Jun thought to himself, since you Jay Chou can make an "Unspeakable Secret", naturally I, Cao Jun, can't be too far behind him, at least in terms of film reputation, I must not lose to Jay Chou.

After some deliberation, Cao Jun finally decided to write, direct and act in a movie - "A Little Thing of First Love"

In other words, in Cao Jun's previous life, "A Little Thing of First Love" was a Thai youth romantic comedy, and because of this drama, the leading actor became popular in Asia.

The film mainly tells the story of Xiaoshui, a girl student with ordinary appearance and mediocre family background. Because she fell in love with the handsome senior A Liang, her life has changed drastically since then.

Because "The Little Thing of First Love" is a Thai movie, Cao Jun couldn't just copy the original version, he had to "Hua Guohua" the movie.

After having this idea, Cao Jun began to write the script of "The Little Thing of First Love".

Of course, Cao Jun is a big celebrity, and it is impossible for him to have so much time and energy to write a complete movie script. He just wrote a simple outline and the direction of the plot.

Cao Jun handed over the rest of the work to the screenwriters of Century Film and Television Company.

Still the same sentence, professional things should be left to professionals, but the final decision on the script is still in the hands of Cao Jun.

If the quality of the script does not meet Cao's requirements, then he would rather not make this movie.

May 5st, morning.

Huayi Brothers Company, Chairman's Office.

Cao Jun had a serious chat with chairman Huang Zhongjun about his idea of ​​making a movie "A Little Thing of First Love".

Huang Zhongjun felt that Cao Jun was not doing his job properly, so he said bluntly: "Xiao Cao, I didn't mean you, can you act and sing well? Why can't you suddenly think about it, what kind of film director are you?"

When Huang Zhongjun said this, he was already giving Cao Jun face, because he felt that making movies mainly depends on talent. Movies are not like TV dramas, and not everyone can make them.

Over the years of Huayi, Huang Zhongjun has also supported and trained many filmmakers, and only two directors can really break through.

One is Feng Xiaogang and the other is Lu Chuan.

Lu Chuan was actually not very successful, at least Huang Zhongjun was not very satisfied with the results at the box office.

Cao Jun didn't give up, so he had a serious chat with Huang Zhongjun about the successful case of Jay Chou's self-directed and self-acted "The Unspeakable Secret".

Under Cao Jun's earnest persuasion, Huang Zhongjun was gradually attracted by his ideas.

Indeed, if Cao Jun can make a high-quality youth movie like Jay Chou, it will not only add luster to Huayi, but also make money for the company.

Thinking of this, Huang Zhongjun asked with great interest: "How much do you plan to spend to make this movie?"

Cao Jun said calmly: "Strive to get it done within 1500 million."

Seeing that Cao Jun did not open his mouth like a lion, Huang Zhongjun was also relieved, and then asked: "Then how much do you want the company to pay?"

Cao Jun replied: "Huang Dong, you know, I am not short of this money!"

"I just want to make a movie. This idea has been around for a long time. I'm afraid that if I don't make it now, I'll be old and I won't be able to make youth movies anymore."

Seeing that Cao Jun was so persistent and didn't intend to give up at all, Huang Zhongjun couldn't help but reminded: "Xiao Cao, movies are not so easy to shoot, aren't you afraid of making a bad movie and ruining your reputation?" ?”

Cao Jun said confidently: "Director Huang, please believe me, I am confident and capable. I, Cao Jun, will never make a bad movie."

Huang Zhongjun thought for a while and said, "Okay, since you are so determined, then you can shoot boldly. If you need my help, just ask."

"However, I want to remind you in advance that your filming cycle must not exceed three months, and the filming must be completed within three months."

Although three months is a bit short, Cao Jun still wanted to work hard, and immediately replied: "Yes, no problem, I will finish filming this movie within three months."

After Cao Jun got the consent of the big boss Huang Zhongjun, the agent Zong Shuai couldn't say anything more, he could only help him find a way to negotiate the schedule, and see if he could free up a three-month schedule within this year.

On the other hand, the song "Welcome to the Capital" co-produced by Xiao Ke and Cao Jun has also entered the stage of secret recording.

After June 6, hundreds of stars including Cao Jun, Liu Huan, Na Ying, Stefanie Sun, Wang Feng, Zeng Li, etc. began to shoot in various Olympic venues and places of interest in the capital.

In addition, the selection of the MV includes Olympic venues such as the "Bird's Nest" and "Water Cube", places of interest such as the Forbidden City, the Temple of Heaven, and the Great Wall, as well as the National Grand Theatre, the Capital Airport, and courtyard houses with characteristics of the capital.

It can be said that almost all active big-name stars in the three places on both sides of the strait participated in the recording and filming of the song "Welcome to the Capital".

It is worth mentioning that Jay Chou, the king of heaven, did not participate in this grand event, because he and Fang Wenshan also wrote an Olympic song - "Thousands of Mountains and Rivers".

Cao Jun originally wanted to write, but for a while, he didn't know what to write.

Moreover, Cao Jun is very clear that this year's Olympic golden song should still be "You and Me" by Liu Huan.

Anyway, he and Xiao Ke have already written the song "The Capital Welcomes You", which is definitely not inferior to Jay Chou's "Thousands of Mountains and Rivers".

In terms of popularity and influence, Cao Jun's "Welcome to the Capital" can directly crush Jay Chou's "Thousands of Mountains and Rivers".

Of course, Cao Jun does not deny that Jay Chou's song "A Thousand Mountains and Rivers" is also a rare Olympic golden song.

Especially the sentence "I am resolutely facing the north" shows his patriotism.
