Entertainment tycoon who started out as a director

Chapter 65 Visiting class to study (seeking further reading)

What can Gu Ming say?

Of course there are praises and criticisms.

They defeated the Xiongnu and fled north, solved the border threats, opened up new territory and expanded the territory, and managed the Western Region. These are all achievements.

It has to be said that it is a bit of a great achievement and makes the people live a miserable life.

Especially killing the heir.

It had only been a few years since the death of Fusu in the Qin Dynasty, and you actually made Liu Zhi unable to even see you and not know whether you were alive or dead.

And then he is questioned, what do you want him to do?
Anyone who can raise an army must have the blood of the old Liu family. He is worthy of being the chess sage of the Han Dynasty. The grandson of Liu Qi, the Jing Emperor, who decided whether to win or lose on the chessboard, and the son of Han Wu Liu Che.

"It can only be said that it is not easy to be the son of a hero. Fusu of the First Emperor, Liu Zhi of the Han Dynasty, Li Chengqian of the Tang Dynasty, let alone the son of Emperor Xuanzong of the Tang Dynasty, their wives were all robbed."

"Hey, I said a bit too much, and it also contains my subjective opinions."

"I think our script should be directly based on Ban Gu's "Book of Han" and Sima Qian's "Historical Records". There can be appropriate adaptations that take into account both history and plot. Just don't go wrong in the general direction."

Just like "Romance of the Three Kingdoms" and "Romance of the Three Kingdoms", have you seen anyone filming "Romance of the Three Kingdoms"?It lacks fun!

"What is your investment budget?" Hu Mei asked the question that concerned her most.

"What we want to do is high-quality products, and our services must be top-notch."

Of course, you have to talk about a budget.

Otherwise, the actors in "The Romance of the Three Kingdoms" a few years ago could have invested hundreds of millions of dollars with only a few remunerations.

If it really invests in such a large-scale TV series, Daystar will be in trouble.

"Forty-five million, maybe."

The production cost of "Emperor of Hanwu", which was prepared in 2003 in the previous life, was only 4000 million.

Gu Ming felt that he had started planning for the filming several years in advance. Although he was not on CCTV and was not so convenient in many things, it was enough to shoot a drama with more war scenes than the original version at this price. After all, actors' salaries are still at A low position.

"I..." Gu Changwei, who was drinking, was stunned when he heard this number.

He looked at Gu Ming with a shocked expression.

Forty-five million yuan to make a TV series, do you think it’s CCTV?

Hu Mei was also a little shocked by this number.

The cost of filming "Yongzheng Dynasty" was less than 500 million!

An increase of 2000 million at once.

A better drama could definitely be made.

A pursuing director cannot refuse such money-splitting.

He nodded immediately, "What did the actor say?"

"Chen Baoguo's Emperor Wu of the Han Dynasty, and the rest of the actors should try to use people from our Morning Star first if the circumstances are suitable."

"By the way, Huang Xiaoming plays the young Emperor Wu of the Han Dynasty!"

All in all, this role cannot be left to Du Chun like in his previous life.

Are you kidding me? I have invested so much and given you a very important role to a newcomer who is trying to set things up with me. Even your father can't do anything about it.

As for using Huang Xiaoming, Gu Ming has his own plan.

"The Emperor of Han" is his famous work.

Let him play the young Han Wu first to leave an impression on the audience, and then film "Emperor of the Han Dynasty" to get twice the result with half the effort!

Hu Mei didn't speak and thought about it in her mind.

There would be no problem if Chen Baoguo plays Han Wu.

She has also heard of Huang Xiaoming, whose face shape is quite similar to Chen Baoguo.

"can!"

Just a character like this, as long as the appearance is acceptable.

Gu Ming made such a request, and considering such a large investment, Hu Mei couldn't refuse.

If your acting skills are not good enough, you can work on it slowly when the time comes.

"Okay, let's make an agreement then!"

Gu Ming stretched out his hand.

In the next few days, Gu Ming and Hu Mei worked together to find someone to write the script and set up the crew.

The screenwriter found Jiang Qitao.

The soundtrack was agreed upon by Zhao Jiping, who was working in Guanshan, and the costumes were by Li Jianqun.

The person in charge of all the staff tried his best to find people with experience and reputation. He also found a lot of contacts to get the crew together for advance preparations.This is what historical dramas are like. Unless you follow TVB, a set of clothes can be used no matter what historical period it is, whether it is a mythological drama or a martial arts drama.

Otherwise, the shooting time is generally not as long as the preparation time.

After finishing this work, the script of "Taken" has not yet been reviewed.

It was only submitted for review half a month ago.

Gu Ming was not in a hurry. He rested at home for a few days and plowed the land for a few days before taking a plane to central Guizhou.

If we want the land to have sufficient nutrition, we must implement rotational farming, fallow farming, and realize scientific farming.

Those who cannot be affected by drought will die of drought, and those who cannot be affected by drought will die of waterlogging.

This unscientific way of farming is absolutely undesirable.

……

When I came to central Guizhou.

Gu Ming asked an assistant director arranged by the company to pick him up.

Sitting in the car, we came all the way to the dormitory area of ​​the Mining Machinery Factory in Xiaohe District.

This is the main location chosen by Wang Xiaoshuai.

Gu Ming also heard him complain on the phone that he was from Xinguang Factory, and he originally wanted to film the scenes in his memory, but Xinguang Factory had changed a lot.

There is no choice but to change the place.

When we arrived at the filming location, we were filming a scene in which Qinghong, played by Gao Yuanyuan, was scolded by her father.

Gao Yuanyuan has a bob haircut, wearing a white sweater and an old-fashioned red plaid jacket.

If it weren't for that collagen-rich face.

I thought it was an aunt somewhere.

Gu Ming almost laughed out loud.

Of course, it was just a close call, but Gu Ming still held it in.

Wang Xiaoshuai was really cheated by himself, but as a director, Gu Ming knew very well that he couldn't do anything to him if he made trouble for him, but this director might not be able to control the crew in the future.

This situation can easily affect the shooting progress.

If you overspend at that time, you will spend all your own money!
It took two shots.

This one is over.

Gao Yuanyuan raised his head and couldn't believe it when he saw Gu Ming's face. He closed his eyes, shook his head and opened his eyes again.

When he was sure that it was Gu Ming who was here, the smile on his face couldn't stop anymore.

Wang Xiaoshuai saw some clues, and after chatting with Gu Ming for a while, he changed to filming the scene of his parents chatting.

Gao Yuanyuan walked to Gu Ming's side with a smile and whispered, "Why are you here?"

"It's a visiting class! Can't you do that?"

"Surprise or not?"

"What do you think?" Gao Yuanyuan raised his eyebrows, "I almost thought I was dreaming."

"A dream come true."

That night, Gu Ming, the only investor, invited the crew members to have a meal.

Then we went to a hotel not far from the crew.

In order to save money, the crew's accommodation conditions were mediocre.

Of course, the most important thing is that the sound insulation conditions are not very good.

Gu Ming didn't want to be heard.

In a hotel with fairly good soundproofing conditions, Gu Ming explained to Gao Yuanyuan the understanding of the character Qinghong.

So that she can grasp the role well.

And Gao Yuanyuan is not a professional at all. With a great director like Gu Ming helping her analyze the character, what else can she say?

We can only seize the opportunity to learn.

It doesn’t matter if you don’t study.

The more she studied, the more she felt that what Gu Ming said made sense.

Later, she would just say yes to whatever Gu Ming said and say "um, um, um."
