Chapter 86 I'll Star?

It is easy for the movie "That Mountain, That Man, That Dog" to make money, but it still needs to work.

You can't sell overseas copyrights cheaply like later generations. In the end, you didn't even get back your investment and completely made wedding dresses for others.

Of course, this is all for the future. Now, Qi Wei wants to take advantage of the opportunity of selling Han Sanping's favor to ask for some benefits.

So Qi Wei went on to say: "Han Sanye and Director Kang, I, the younger generation, also have such a small ambition. When I set up a film and television company, I not only want to invest in movies, but also want to participate in the production and distribution of movies.
My film and television company has been established for several months, and I have a few channels, but I have never encountered any good projects worth selling. The project you brought this time is tantamount to giving me a pillow when I am sleepy. ....
I think, can I hand over this project to my film and television company, and let my film and television company also participate in the production and production, without actually participating, just giving a name."

Prior to this, mainland films were all produced in the name of major film studios. Now, although the policy has been liberalized, under the influence of inertia, the production rights of mainland films are still in the hands of major film studios.

You can only have it if they give it to you, and you can’t do anything if they don’t give it to you, even if you invest all the money, it’s useless.

Of course, Qi Wei's request is not too much.

Qi Wei added: "If you two allow me, my film and television company can be responsible for all the 300 million investment in this film, and the publicity and distribution of subsequent films can be handed over to my film and television company."

The meaning behind Qi Wei's words is that you just make the movie well, and after the movie is made, just wait for the money.

Hearing Qi Wei's words, Han Sanping and Director Kang glanced at each other and couldn't help laughing.

Director Kang smiled and replied, "There is no problem with this."

For the two of them, they just like this story and want to put it on the big screen, and they are not optimistic about the "money scene" of this film and television project.

It should be said that there is no "money scene" in this film project.

Therefore, as long as they can find a big boss to invest in and complete the film project, and the factory has completed a production target, the rest doesn't matter to them.

Even Qi Wei also promised to be responsible for the follow-up publicity and distribution work, which is followed by another sum of money. You must know that these domestic film studios started to lose money because of "unified purchase and sales" and started their own distribution.

Even Han Sanping felt a little embarrassed when the "big head" did this, no, he was so sincere and bullied honest people.

Qi Wei was "defrauded" of a large sum of money, so Han Sanping wanted to make some compensation.

Looking around, he couldn't help but shook his head and said, "Your company seems to be a bit out of date. There are no people, and the front desk is not very good."

Qi Wei smiled awkwardly: "At the beginning of the company's establishment, it was a bit crude, and it was not easy to recruit talents. I will change the front desk to a beautiful one tomorrow."

Han Sanping nodded and said: "In the past few years, the general environment of the film industry has been sluggish, and our Beijing Film Studio has not been able to provide enough opportunities and support as before. I know that many people in the factory have found another way out. Plan, I don't want to delay them, I want to introduce them to a better place, I don't know if you are willing to take them in."

Hearing this, Qi Wei was immediately overjoyed, and immediately replied: "Of course there is no problem, I welcome them to join our family."

Although Nortel helped Qi Wei's film and television company get the film and television shooting license, the recruitment of behind-the-scenes talents was still not smooth.

It's still the same problem, investing in "Party A and Party B" is considered to be bad luck. Qi Wei's film and television company has not made other convincing achievements so far, so it is still not favored by people.

And there are thousands of people in the North Film Studio, and there are many film and television talents. Now that Han Sanping has spoken, isn't it easy to persuade a few outstanding talents to join with his status?
This immediately solved the problem of Qi Wei Film and Television Company's lack of talents.

As for the future, as long as you can successfully prove yourself and rely on Beijing Film Studio and Nortel, will there be a steady stream of follow-up film and television talents?

Leaning against the big tree is good for the coolness.

This is obviously to compensate and support him, Qi Wei also understood it, and immediately showed gratitude.

For capable and obedient people, Han Sanping is now very willing to support and cultivate them.

Now that the film market continues to be depressed, continuing to fight alone is not conducive to survival in a more brutal market environment. Therefore, eight units including Beijing Film Studio and Beijing Film Company are preparing to merge to form a Beijing Film Group like Shanghai Film Group. of.

The plan is to set up next year.

In the newly established Beijing Film Group, Han Sanping naturally wanted to go to the next level and gain more rights.

He needs a few "horses" to charge in the film industry and fight for him more right to speak.

Now Qi Wei, who is very good at being a man, has fallen into his eyes.

As for whether to keep tigers as an infestation, this is no longer within the scope of his consideration.

Given the chance, Qi Wei is of course willing to be this "horse".

Didn't Huayi Brothers and Bona in later generations all start from "horses".

As for taking advantage of the situation to thrive and take off...

At least for now, there is harmony.

At this time, director Huo Jianqi suddenly said: "You have also read the script of the movie. The teacher Teng Rujun of the Chinese opera agreed to play the role of father, but we have not yet settled on the role of son. I was originally, I wanted to choose a suitable actor for the Chinese opera because I fell in love with a student named Duan Yihong."

You directors like to go to the Chinese opera next door to choose actors, Qi Wei asked with some doubts: "Isn't it Liu Huohua?"

Qi Wei remembers that this movie is Liu Huohua's debut film.

"I don't know who Liu Huohua you mentioned."

Director Huo Jianqi's eyes were all on Qi Wei's face, and he said with a smile: "Now, I don't want to think about other people. I think you are very, very suitable."

"Huh?" Qi Wei was surprised. He never thought about acting in this movie. He stood up straight, pointed at himself and asked in doubt:

"You don't think I'm suitable for such a country-like role, do you?"

Director Huo Jianqi looked Qi Wei up and down, and he became more and more satisfied, nodded and said:
"The idol temperament you have now is indeed not suitable, but I think you are very suitable for this role. You are also from Hunan Province. I am confident that I can train you well. You will not have no confidence in your acting skills."

Qi Wei's first album was a hit, and he has a lot of fans. Starring him in a movie will guarantee a certain box office. Even Lao Mouzi's invitation to Qi Wei is also because of this.

Although director Huo Jianqi doesn't have much confidence in the box office of this movie, he also hopes that the movie can achieve a satisfactory box office after it is released.

It will be more challenging for Qi Wei to participate in such a rural role, but if the training is successful, it will also produce a corresponding sense of satisfaction.

Now Qi Wei is his best candidate.

Qi Wei, who has filmed several dramas, has made great progress in his acting skills, but playing such a role is a big challenge for him, and he doesn't have much confidence, but you are a director, so if you think it is suitable, then it is suitable.

They have "created" so many songs, and Qi Wei doesn't care who's role is taken away from whose luck.

But Qi Wei still had some concerns in his heart, so he said: "You value me so much, so I naturally won't be hypocritical, but I'm currently preparing for my second album, which will be released in mid-April, and I won't be able to smoke it until June. Make time."

"I plan to start filming this movie in September, two months is enough time for your part to finish filming"

"But I have already agreed to participate in Lao Mouzi's new movie "My Father and Mother", and I will join his group in the second half of the year."

At this time, Han Sanping smiled and said: "You don't have a lot of roles in Lao Mouzi's movie. I have already communicated with you. It is enough for you to join the crew in November, and it will not affect the shooting there. .”

"Uh..." Hearing this, Qi Wei already understood, looked at them and laughed, "So you came prepared!"

Qi Wei pretended to be serious and continued, "It's not cheap to invite me to film now. You also know that my record company cooperates with PolyGram. They help me find resources in Hong Kong City, and they even offer hundreds of dollars to me to film. I received 20 yuan for the filming of Lao Mouzi, which is still a friendship price, so how much are you willing to pay me?"

What Qi Wei said is true, there are filmmakers in Hong Kong City who are willing to pay a higher price, several times the salary is fine, as long as Qi Wei is willing to star in Fengyue movies.

Director Huo Jianqi smiled and said: "This is also a project of your company, you can open as many as you want."

"There is a clear distinction between public and private. I naturally want Han Xin to recruit as many soldiers as possible. Besides, this is a project of my company in name, but I don't plan to participate in the production too much. You will lead the film. How much do you think is suitable for me?"

Director Huo Jianqi thought for a while, and began to haggle over the price: "This is a literary film, and I can't offer a high salary, so you have to give a friendly price, and the salary should be lower."

"Lao Mouzi paid me 20 yuan, it can't be lower than this."

"Old Mouzi is a great director, so it's easy to attract investment. If you have a lot of money, you are willing to give a high salary. My movie is only your 300 million investment, and the production cost is limited. Teacher Teng Rujun doesn't want that much salary."

"Alright then, how much do you plan to pay me?"

Director Huo Jianqi stretched out five fingers at first, then bent down four in embarrassment, gritted his teeth and said, "I'm willing to pay [-] yuan!"

Although this number is not high, but after all, the film investment is limited, which is already quite sincere.

Qi Wei pretended to think over and over again, and finally agreed reluctantly.

"Let me just say his acting skills are not bad." Seeing the two "seriously" arguing for the salary, Han Sanping first laughed

Then everyone laughed too.

Qi Wei thought of another point at this time, and asked: "There is a Dong girl in the movie script, is there a suitable actor?"

Director Huo Jianqi nodded and replied: "It has been preliminarily decided. The choice is Cheng Hao, a student from the 97th grade of Chinese Opera. This is recommended by Teacher Teng Rujun."

Then director Huo Jianqi lowered his voice slightly and told a secret:
"This is a girl named Cheng Hao. Her father and Teacher Teng Rujun are good friends. I heard that she received five university admission letters, and she chose Chinese opera under the advice of Teacher Teng Rujun. Teacher Teng Rujun promised to support and take care of her, so Only then will I appear in this movie as a friend, and I will not receive any salary."

So it was related, Qi Wei understood now.

Combined with the script and the memory of later generations, the core of the movie "That Mountain, That Man, That Dog" lies in the father and son, more precisely, in the teacher Teng Rujun who played the father.

Liu Huohua is the tail of the crane in their class. His acting skills are actually very average. He was trained during filming. It won't make much difference if he changes to another person, but if he plays the role of father, the taste may change.

Qi Wei originally planned to win the role of Dong girl for his own woman.

Gao Yuanyuan has already won her the opportunity to shoot Wahaha commercials. The cold war has just ended, and Qi Wei doesn't want to get her a role for the time being, so as not to appear too attentive.

This girl can read eyes, and Qi Wei has already prepared a play for her in his heart.

Li Xiaoran is not suitable, Yan Danchen is more well-behaved and more suitable, Qi Wei is going to fight for her.

But in this situation, it is not easy to take care of Teacher Teng Rujun's face.

Moreover.
"That girl named Cheng Hao is beautiful and juicy, quite suitable." Director Huo Jianqi laughed and said.

She is a heartthrob, of course she is pretty, and it seems that it would be nice to work with her.

Qi Wei's heart was a little restless, and he had a little expectation.

Everyone takes what they need, and the negotiation is very pleasant. When the distinguished guests come, it is natural to entertain them well.

Naturally, Mr. Qi will pay for all the consumption in the audience.

"I think both of them are quite suitable." In another crew, after today's audition, director Zhao Baogang hesitated with two photos in his hand.

The screenwriter Hai Yan on the side couldn't give an answer either.

At this time, a certain producer came in from the outside, took out a poster and spread it out in front of the two of them.

"In this movie, you want to find a beautiful boy as the leading actor, so why don't you consider him?"

Looking at the handsome boy in the poster, the screenwriter Hai Yan really felt that it was very suitable. Director Zhao Baogang stared at it for a long time and hesitated and said, "He didn't come to the audition, so why choose him?"

"That's not the point, he's so famous now, even Lao Mouzi's new movie invites him to take part, do you think he will be short of roles?

Inviting him to be the leading actor will save a lot of publicity costs, and more importantly, if he has money, he can bring money into the group, so we don’t need to go everywhere to raise funds, and he can also handle the soundtrack of our show.”

At this time, screenwriter Hai Yan nodded.

"I think he is the perfect candidate for Xiao Tong."

Hai Yan, who is the author and screenwriter of the original work, spoke, and the director Zhao Baogang also felt more and more appropriate after watching it, and finally nodded.
