China Entertainment started from art school

Chapter 153 Gu Xiaona and Big Mimi Collaborate

"Gu Jian Qi Tan" is a large-scale fairy tale fantasy idol drama, with many characters, large scenes, and many special effects, so it is very expensive.

For a project that burns money, of course there are many investors, because risks need to be shared, and resources need to be integrated and utilized. After all, the post-publicity fee will not be cheap.

Longqi Film and Television would like to send some money over, of course they are very welcome, after all, they have their own strength and are qualified to participate.

Besides, compared to Huanrui, Longqi Film and Television was established earlier than them.

So after there are not many questions in other places, we must start talking about actors.

Li Jingkun said: "Gu Xiaona hasn't produced many works in the past one or two years, but she mainly plays the role of heroine. I think it's okay for her to participate in the second female lead of "Gu Jian Qi Tan", and she is not considered her own. Downgrade, after all, the first female is Miss Mi.

And this year, Long Qi also tailor-made a TV series for her, which will start in March. "

Cheng Yuan said, "Is it a modern drama?"

Li Jingkun nodded: "Yes."

Zhou Deze said: "The modern romantic drama is adapted from the best-selling novel "The Year in a Hurry"; it is also our key project this year. At the same time, we also collaborated with Mercedes-Benz to develop the film of the same name, which also started this year. The director is Zhang Yibo.

Of course, Gu Xiaona only plays the heroine of the TV series version, but it also shows the popularity and quality of this project, right? "

Jiang Lei also spoke at this time: "The actress that the director is looking at is also from your school, maybe you know it too. But it hasn't been finalized yet. I heard that Xiaomi recommended Gu Xiaona, and I think it is very suitable, so I also I want to get in touch."

He said the name of the actress, which was naturally known to everyone.

Zhao Tiantian's former roommate.

It is indeed a relatively strong competitor.

Li Jingkun said: "Speaking of it, the styles of the two are indeed a bit similar, but Gu Xiaona in "Introduction to Architecture" will not lose to others, right? And I think Xiaona's reputation and ability are relatively better."

······
Several people talked for more than an hour, and they probably understood each other's requirements and bottom line.The intention of cooperation is actually quite strong, but many details still need to be coordinated.

So we have to continue talking later, Gu Xiaona and Li Xian also have to meet with them and audition.

When I left, because I came here as Da Mimi's friend, she was the one who sent her downstairs in the end.

Da Mimi said: "It's okay, I like Xiaona better, and I will help take care of it when the time comes."

What she meant was that she would help to say good things when it came time, and that Gu Xiaona would take care of her when she came to audition; at the same time, she also showed that she was on Li Jingkun's side.

She is not stupid, now that Li Jingkun is in full swing, and after "Detective Chinatown", she will be among the ranks of first-line directors; so if both actors are suitable, which one would she recommend?Which one is better for you to choose?

Isn't the answer obvious?

Li Jingkun said: "It's okay, it's already a big help for the senior sister to help match the bridge."

Although it's okay to fail, she really made an effort, so you have to thank what should be thanked, and she doesn't owe herself.

·······
Because it is still during the holiday, the market is still high. "Journey to the West" and "Chinatown" are still far ahead of other works.

However, there is a new film on February 2 that is also a bit threatening, and it is Tom Cruise's "Jack Reacher".

But it's only a little threatening.

Since 2013, although it still cannot prevent many Omi movies from coming to China to make money, it is already difficult for them to have an absolute dominance at the box office as they did before.

Domestic films will gradually regain the initiative in the domestic market.

On February 2, the stock market reopened.As the first producer of "Journey to the West" and the biggest gainer at the domestic box office, the stock of Zhongyi Brothers rose 18% to 8.58 yuan.

4 days later, "The Hobbit 1" was released.

By February 2, the box office of "Journey to the West" had exceeded 28 billion.

But there is not only good news about this movie. On March 3, some explosive news began to appear: ""Journey to the West"'s 1 billion box office split is doubtful, Zhongyi and Xingye fear disputes", " Zhongyi Brothers and Zhou Xingxing Company "fighted", and "Journey to the West" split accounts into suspense".

······
More than ten days after its release, there were only two groups of teams left for the road show of "Detective Chinatown", one group was Bai Jingting and Xiao Yang, and the other group was only Li Jingkun.

But even so, every time I go to a theater, it is still full of rhythm.

At this time, the filming rate of the two films "Journey to the West" and "Chinatown" has dropped a bit, but the attendance rate is good.

Especially for the latter, perhaps due to the road show, the box office results in the next single day are not much worse than the former.

It is estimated that many insiders have already realized the great role of roadshows.

""Detective Chinatown" Roadshow No. 17 days. I don’t know what’s going on, I’ve been forced to be a guest singer every day recently—this is a movie roadshow, not a fan meeting—don’t order songs next time !"

Longqi Film and Television will update some information about the roadshow every day, including several large websites and scarves.

The bib on the official website of "Detective Chinatown" is updated the most and frequently; some interesting things that happened during the period will also be written, so when the first audience fan asked Li Jingkun to sing, fans in other cities followed suit and asked him to sing. Sing a song.

So Li Jingkun "vomited" on his scarf.Then fans also responded in the comments below.

"Hahaha, so when will you arrive in Vancouver? I'll sign up for one."

"What? Li Jingkun held a fan meeting? Where can I buy tickets?"

"What? Is there a concert? See you soon, can you send me the address where you bought it?"

"I, I, I, raise your hand and sign up for one!"

······
After several discussions, Longqi Film and Television invested 2000 million to become one of the investors of "Gu Jian Qi Tan"; Gu Xiaona also successfully won the female number two, and Li Xian was the male number four.

The launch date is tentatively scheduled for July.

In other words, after the two finished filming the TV series and the movie "The Year in a Hurry", they still had about two months of preparation time before they had to join another crew.

It's good to enjoy the shade under the big tree. Under the flag of Longqi Film and Television, the two gradually opened up a greater distance from the others.

"Do movie roadshows have to sing?"

"Detective Chinatown" has achieved such great results, so every move is naturally more eye-catching.

And the further you go, the smaller the gap between the single-day box office results and "Journey to the West"; that is to say, the attendance rate of "Chinatown" later is higher than that of "Journey to the West".So many people in the industry can also see the problem.

This is something that cannot be hidden at all. Everyone will soon discover the benefits of the road show, and then follow suit.
