Chapter 543 Science Fiction Film

"Director Ning, when will No Man's Land be released?"

"Director Ning, after three years away from the big screen, what are your expectations for the box office of "The Golden Robbery"?"

"Huang Bo, Director Guan Hu said that he originally wanted to invite Ge You to be the lead actor in "Killing"."

Huang Bo and Ning Hao were carried out from the crowd of reporters by the crew members, along with Guo Jingfei.

After signing with Yuanfang Media, Guo Jingfei became a little famous, but he could not compare with Huang Boning Hao. There were not many reporters around him. He struggled symbolically and easily broke through.

Lu Yuan hugged the three of them separately and said jokingly, "You two must have discussed this beforehand, why did you all come here together?"

"Killing" starring Huang Bo and "The Golden Robbery" starring Guo Jingfei and directed by Ning Hao will both be released in April.

"Don't worry about how we got here. Let's quickly find someone to move things from the car and distribute them to everyone." Huang Bo pointed behind him.

When visiting the set to increase exposure for the upcoming movie, it is natural to bring some gifts.

Assistant Zheng Qian was very perceptive and went to pull people in quickly without Lu Yuan saying anything.

After a while, Li Gen came out with a group of people. This guy has a lot of miscellaneous work to do.

With the example of Wen Muye in front of him, without sufficient training, he had no chance to direct, so he did all kinds of jobs.

Lu Yuan led the three of them to the set, where they were filming a scene. The Four Burmese Musketeers received an order from Ding Qing to capture the Go teacher alive.

Ning Hao looked at Wang Shuangbao and Badu in the center of the studio and said with a smile, "Why did you invite them here?"

"When I was considering the cast for this group, I subconsciously thought of them." Lu Yuan crossed his arms, looked around, and saw Huang Bo and Liang Jiahui standing together.

Ning Hao looked at it for a few seconds, and then he held his chin and said, "They are quite similar in some ways."

"Are they similar? Whether in looks or height, Brother Bo loses miserably."

"I'm talking about experience. Liang Jiahui's movie caused Mazda's sales to drop, and Huang Bo was not bad either, causing Baleno to go straight downhill."

"Uh"

Lu Yuan laughed dumbly: "Brother Bo is still better. Mazda's sales volume increased in the second year, but Baleno has never recovered."

"Haha, it seems to be true. If I were Baleno, I would sue him."

"You, the director, are the real culprit and you cannot be let off."

"Hiss, what you said."

"Mani, Mani!" Huang Bo came over and said, "I saw you two grandsons laughing secretly from a distance. You have bad intentions."

"If you, Mr. Huang, had debuted a few years earlier, you might have become the mainland's famous actor with a thousand faces." Ning Hao complimented perfunctorily.

Lu Yuan added: "We have to exclude tall, rich and handsome people from the Thousand Faces. This thing has very demanding hardware requirements."

Huang Bo glared at him unhappily, rubbed his stomach, and asked, "Do you have any more shows later? If not, let's go have a meal together. I came here right after getting off the plane and I'm starving."

"Then what are we waiting for? Let's go." Lu Yuan and Zheng Qian said, waved to Guo Jingfei, and led the way.

During the days of filming, he had already become familiar with the restaurants around Mong Kok and ate breakfast and dinner in different places.

A group of four walked through the streets and, led by Lu Yuan, arrived at the 3rd floor of the Municipal Services Building on Garden Street in Mong Kok.

There is a cooked food center here, and many local uncles and grannies come here. It is similar to a food stall. You go to the stall to order and take it yourself. There is no question of whether there is service or not.

The advantage is that there is basically no queue at meal times, the dining space is large, and it is full of the atmosphere of fireworks.

They ordered a few dishes, didn't order any wine, and sat at a small table chatting.

"How did you two meet this time? 'The Robbery' will be released on the 24th, and 'The Killing' will be released on the 28th." Lu Yuan extended the spoon to the clear beef brisket soup on the table. The beef brisket is taken from the cow's abdomen and the part near the ribs. It has the right amount of fat and lean, and a crisp texture.

"It's not a big problem. The themes of the two films are different. Although "Killing" is Guan Hu's first commercial work after his formal transformation, it is still an art film at its core. I don't expect it to have a high box office."

Huang Bo doesn't care too much about it, this drama is for winning awards.

Ning Hao picked up a piece of black bean ribs and was a little discouraged when he heard this: "Titanic will be released in April, and The Avengers will be released worldwide in early May. It will be difficult for domestic films in these two months."

Huang Bo agreed and added: "But compared to "Killing" and "The Golden Robbery", the pressure of "The Ordinary Man" starring Huang Xiaoming is really great. I heard that he invested in that movie."

"For him, investment was just an accident." Lu Yuan shook his head.

Huang Bo was curious: "What's going on?"

"I heard him say a few days ago that the crew of "Pifu" ran out of money halfway through filming. The director was a newcomer, so he asked him, the leading actor, for help. I don't know what he was thinking, but he agreed to invest."

Ning Hao glanced at him and said, "You've been telling the media all day long that you want to give opportunities to new directors, and you've invested in several directors. Huang Xiaoming must have believed it."

Lu Yuan didn't know what he was thinking about. Suddenly he remembered something and asked, "I just heard the reporter mention Ge You. Is there any connection between "Killing" and Ge You?"

"He was the male lead in the beginning."

Huang Bo explained: "It was probably in 2005 when he asked me to film "Survival of Migrant Workers". On the day of filming, he was driving and I was sitting in the passenger seat. He started talking about this story and was planning to ask Mr. Ge You to play the role.

Later, when we were shooting other films, we would often talk about "Killing", and the more we talked, the more excited we became. This is how movies are, if you get the right path, it will be very fun. During the conversation, many details in the movie came about. In addition, I later became a little famous, so Guan Hu took a look and asked me to act in it. "

Several people talked about the plans for the second half of the year. Huang Bo had several TV series, including "Journey to the West: Conquering the Demons". When it was Ning Hao's turn, he hesitated.

Guo Jingfei, who had been watching the show quietly, also looked up in surprise.

Lu Yuan was puzzled and asked, "If you have something to say, just say it. Why are you hesitating?"

"Did you buy the film and television adaptation rights of Liu Cixin's 'The Three-Body Problem'?" Ning Hao asked.

Lu Yuan was stunned for a moment. The name seemed familiar. After thinking for a while, he realized that it was the copyright of the novel he bought many years ago. "Yes, it happened a few years ago. I almost forgot about it."

"Did you buy all his other novels?"

"Well," Lu Yuan recalled, "I paid more than the market price for The Three-Body Problem. Liu Cixin was worried that I would suffer a loss, so he recommended other short stories at bargain prices. I didn't think they were expensive at the time, so I just bought them all."

After saying that, he suddenly realized something: "You want to adapt it?"

"Yeah." Ning Hao nodded.

Lu Yuan frowned, thinking of the plot in "The Three-Body Problem": "Isn't it too expensive to make a science fiction film? With the current level of special effects in China, many scenes are simply impossible to achieve. Most importantly, it won't pay off. Is Pony.com willing to invest?"

Ning Hao knew that this guy had misunderstood, and waved his hands: "It's not The Three-Body Problem, I'm not stupid, it's The Rural Teacher."

Lu Yuan put down his chopsticks. He couldn't remember, but it was probably one of the short stories.

"So you want it?"

"That's right, I'm going to shoot this next." Ning Hao was no longer indifferent.

"Sure, no problem for me." Lu Yuan replied, noticing that he used "I" instead of the company, and tentatively said, "When the script comes out, the two companies will have a chat."

Ning Hao opened his mouth. He planned to work with Lu Yuan on this play after leaving Xiaoma Pentium next year.

"it is good!"

Seeing his expression, Lu Yuan was suspicious but did not ask any further questions.

Ning Hao guessed that he had made up his mind to leave Pony.
