China Entertainment: Return to 2007

"Join Xu Ge Film and Television?"

Despite some speculation in his mind, Han Yan was still surprised when he actually heard the invitation from Xu Ge himself.

Who is Xu Ge?

That is the most famous top director, screenwriter, and capitalist in the Daxia entertainment industry!

In just three years since he entered the industry, he has not only single-handedly developed Xu Ge Film and Television into a first-tier film and television company second only to Huayi, Enlight, and Bona.

It even made six celebrities Ni Ni, Liu Shishi, Yang Mi, Zhang Yi, Chen Xiao and Luo Jin famous!

To receive his invitation is simply a God-given opportunity for ordinary people.

"Director Xu, can you tell me why?" Han Yan took a sip of tea and asked to calm down.

It wasn't that he wasn't moved, he just felt that he had to understand clearly.

"Because I think you can do it." Xu Ge smiled and looked at Han Yan seriously: "I believe you have a clear vision. I think you are very capable and talented. All you need is an opportunity."

After a pause, Xu Ge continued: "A salary of one million for a movie, plus 10% of the net box office profit dividend, is the sincerity Xu Ge Film and Television gives you."

One million salary?

10% of box office net profits as dividends?

Han Yan took a breath!

A few years after graduation, it would be extremely difficult for him to make a movie, let alone one million for a movie.

Not to mention 10% of box office net profit dividends,

Xu Ge's conditions were beyond Han Yan's wildest dreams.

For a moment, his heart was pounding!

"I wonder how many years I need to sign? What are the restrictions?" Han Yan said calmly.

"Ten movie appointments." Xu Ge smiled and said, "I will provide you with ten movie scripts one after another. As long as you finish them according to quality and quantity, everything else is up to you."

"Can I see the first movie script you prepared for me?"

"Of course." Xu Ge nodded, smiled, took out the script that he had prepared for a long time, and handed it to Han Yan: "This is a movie with great meaning in life. I believe it will be suitable for a Korean director."

Han Yan took the script with a smile and opened it seriously.

Soon, he was immersed in the world of the script and couldn't extricate himself.

Xiong Dun?

Dr. Liang?

cancer?

That's right, the script Xu Ge prepared for Han Yan was none other than "Get Out, Mr. Tumor", which would become his true fame five years later.

As Han Yan's first masterpiece, "Gun Jun" not only earned 5 million at the box office, but also received an astonishingly high reputation. Han Yan was very reluctant to win awards, and even won an Oscar because of it.

Why is this movie so charming?

Although there are many reasons,

But Xu Ge believes that the main reason is that the heroine in the play is positive and optimistic, and she is tortured by illness but still smiles at her strange attitude towards life.

Impressed thousands of viewers.

Since ancient times, no one has been afraid of death.

As powerful as Emperor Qin and Han Wu, he still sent people to ask for immortality and medicine before he died.

This shows the fear of death in human hearts.

However, Xiong Dun broke this fear and learned that he was suffering from cancer and would die soon.

She did not complain about others, nor did she give up on herself.

Instead, live every day happily.

She even bravely pursued love and her former ideals in the last days of her life.

Under her infection,

Dr. Liang cured his heart disease for many years, and his friend also understood the meaning of life.

It is precisely because of her optimism that the character Xiong Dun has endless charm.

At the end of her optimism, she also has the fear and sadness that humans should have.

At the end of the story, when she bid farewell to her mother in tears,

This extremely real reaction not only did not break the good impression she had left on the audience before, but actually made it even more endearing.

After all, it is human nature to be afraid of leaving. With these, Xiong Dun becomes more real and beautiful.

"How's it going? Is "Gun Jun" to your taste?" Xu Ge asked with a smile.

"This script is so well written. I can't believe there is such a unique woman in this world!" Han Yan was amazed: "Director Xu, can I ask? How did you come up with this character?"

"This is a long story. In fact, this script has a prototype. Xiong Dun is a real person..." Xu Ge explained softly.

In a previous life, "Gun Jun" was written by Xiong Dun, a female cartoonist with the same name as the heroine Xiong Dun.

Like the heroine, Xiong Dun was diagnosed with cancer a year later.

Then face it with positivity and optimism.

It was precisely because of this experience that she drew the comic "Gunjun".

Unfortunately, like Xiong Dun, she also passed away in the end...

Half a month ago, when Xu Ge thought of this movie, he immediately tried to contact Xiong Dun himself.

At Xu Ge's suggestion, she went to the hospital for a full-body examination, and the cancer was detected early.

Knowing all this, Xu Ge valued the copyright of "Gun Jun" at one million yuan and tried his best to help Xiong Dun receive active treatment.

Because it is discovered early, everything is not irreversible yet, so the chance of successful treatment is not small.

"So that's it. I hope Xiong Dun can recover soon!" After hearing this story, Han Yan no longer hesitated. He nodded decisively and said: "Thank you, Director Xu, for thinking highly of me. I accepted the movie "Gun Jun"!"

"Haha, okay, I have Director Han like a fish in water!" Xu Ge laughed heartily.

This set the tone for joining Xu Ge Film and Television.

The two also discussed the specific shooting matters of "Gun Jun".

"Director Xu, I don't know who the male or female protagonist is, who do you prefer?" Han Yan asked.

"Gunjun" is a feature film, and the casting of the male and female protagonists is particularly important.

If you choose well, the movie will be half successful; if you choose poorly, the movie will be a failure.

"Director Han, do you have any good suggestions?" Xu Ge looked at Han Yan with a smile.

"This..." Han Yan hesitated for a moment, then tentatively said: "As for the heroine Xiong Dun, I do have a candidate. Her name is Bai Baihe. She starred in Director Zhao's "Who Calls the Shots of My Youth" last year. I think she is quite suitable for this role. character.”

Sure enough, the three major universities have connections wherever they go.

Bai Baihe and Han Yan are both Grade 02 Chinese Opera students. The difference is that one is in the acting department and the other is in the directing department.

"Bai Baihe is already married, and she is not well-known. She has never acted in a movie. It seems a little inappropriate to let her play the role of Xiong Dun?" Xu Ge refused with a smile.

Of course the real reason is not this. Can he tell Han Yan directly that he purely wants to praise his woman by making this movie? The answer is of course no!

And aside from this most important reason, Xu Ge couldn't let Bai Baihe play the heroine Xiong Dun just because she was from Huayi.

What a great movie that clearly wants to gain both fame and fortune.

The heroine doesn't need her own family, is he smart?

"Do you have any good candidates, Director Xu?" Han Yan asked knowingly.

Bai Baihe and Han Yan only have a friendship as classmates, and if they can recommend her once, they have already treated her well. Han Yan cannot risk offending his boss and forcefully fight for her. "This..." Xu Ge looked at Chen Xiao,

Chen Xiaomiao understood. He, who had been acting as a support throughout the whole process, once again cooperated tacitly.

Chen Xiao smiled and said: "Senior Brother Han, Director Xu, I think Senior Master Liu is very good.

I have worked with my senior sister. She has excellent acting skills and is very famous.

With her starring as Xiong Dun, "Gun Jun" will definitely be a great success! "

Han Yan was stunned when he heard this, and soon he came to his senses and praised continuously: "Master Liu is really great. She played Ruoxi, who was playful and cute in the early stage, and depressed in the later stage. She completely interpreted the heroine's character.

It would be perfect if she plays the role of Xiong Dun! "

Xu Ge nodded with satisfaction: "Since everyone thinks that Shishi is the most suitable candidate, we should not avoid relatives when recruiting talents, so the role of Xiong Dun should be played by Liu Shishi!"

After the most important female protagonist was taken care of, it was the turn of the second male protagonist.

As usual, Xu Ge asked again in a very democratic manner: "Director Han, do you have any suitable candidates to recommend?"

Han Yan spoke again: "I think Chen Xiao is pretty good. Why not let him play the role of Dr. Liang?"

Chen Xiao?

Xu Ge glanced at Han Yan in surprise, secretly thinking that Han Yan was indeed extraordinary.

Yu Gong, Chen Xiao's acting skills are outstanding, and the role of the cold-faced and handsome Dr. Liang is definitely a success.

Personally, Chen Xiao not only has an alumnus friendship with him, but also has the favor of recommending him.

In addition, Chen Xiao and Xu Ge have a good personal relationship,

Not surprisingly, when Han Yan's recommendation came out, as long as Xu Ge didn't have any objections to Chen Xiao,

Then this role definitely belongs to him.

Chen Xiao glanced at Han Yan gratefully and thought that this senior brother was not calling him in vain.

Although with his current status and fame, the male lead role in "Gun Jun" is not necessary,

But this is the project of the boss lady Liu Shishi.

Based on Xu Ge's love for Liu Shishi, "Gun Jun" had a box office of at least over 100 million at the beginning.

Such a good resource, why refuse it if you can get it?

"Chen Xiao," Xu Ge glanced at Chen Xiao with a smile, turned to Han Yan and said with a smile: "He is indeed very suitable for the role of Dr. Liang."

Chen Xin was happy the next moment, and the next second,

"But there's no point in killing a chicken with a butcher's knife. He and I have other important uses. Let's discuss another candidate."

Chen Xiao: "..."

"Do you have any good candidates, Director Xu?" Han Yan honestly handed over his rights.

Xu Ge nodded with satisfaction: "Let Luo Jin come in, he happened to have worked with Shishi twice.

When future movies are released, they can also hype up their film debuts, which is really killing two birds with one stone. "

"Okay, after "Bu Bu Jing Xin", Luo Jin's popularity is close to that of a top-tier niche actor. When "The Legend of Ancient Swords" is aired, I believe his popularity will definitely reach a higher level.

With him playing the male lead, "Gun Jun" will definitely be a box office hit! "

"Okay, then it's settled." Xu Ge smiled and said, "How much investment does this drama require?"

Han Yan thought about it carefully and said conservatively: "There are no big scenes in "The King", and the biggest expense is the male and female lead's salary.

Luo Jin and Liu Shishi have not yet proven their abilities in the film field.

Giving one person 200 million should be enough.

Calculated in this way, the salary of the actors in this film is about 600 million.

Including various shooting expenses, crew and post-production expenses, 1200 million is definitely enough.

In addition, if you want a good box office, publicity is indispensable. Necessary publicity is still needed. I think 300 million is an appropriate number. "

"So you only need 1500 million?" Xu Ge asked with a smile.

"Yes." Han Yan nodded solemnly.

"I'll give you another 1000 million!" Xu Gefeng said lightly: "Liu Shishi's salary will be adjusted to 600 million, Luo Jin 300 million,

The extra 500 million you add to production,

Don’t necessarily ensure that the lens is beautiful and of high quality. "

Han Yan: "..."

Good guy, is this why Master Liu is so attracted to the flames?

If I were a woman, I wouldn't be able to stand it!

"Don't worry, Director Xu, I will successfully complete the shooting task!" Han Yan promised loudly.

"Then I'll just wait for the good news." Xu Ge nodded and smiled.

.......................................

"Chen Xiao, you were not asked to be the male lead in "Gun Jun" just now. Are you okay with that?"

In the car, Xu Ge asked softly.

"I believe Director Xu has his own arrangements." Sitting next to Xu Ge, Chen Xiaozhen replied sincerely.

"You can't bite off more than you can chew," Xu Ge said with a smile: "There are no movies that are really suitable for you this year, but there are TV series. There is also a year-end masterpiece waiting for you."

After clicking on Xiao Chen, Xu Ge continued: ""Legend of Lu Zhen" will be launched soon. Please take care of Li Ying for me.

After I finish filming this drama, I will give you another drama that will win the title of the year! "

Crown drama? !

Last year, Chen Xiao's "Wei Wei" became a huge hit and won the annual crown.

If there is another annual movie this year,

Then his status as a celebrity in the television field will definitely reach its peak.

Seeing this, he smiled and said: "Thank you, Director Xu, I will definitely assist Haoliying in filming "Legend of Lu Zhen"."

"Chen Xiao, how long have you been joining Xu Ge Film and Television?"

"More than 2 years?" Chen Xiao replied.

"Time flies so fast. In the blink of an eye, it has been more than two years." Xu Ge sighed and patted Chen Xiao on the shoulder: "Do you have any ideas for the future?"

Chen Xiaomeng trembled. He sat up straight and replied: "Xu Ge Film and Television single-handedly trained me. Director Xu, you single-handedly turned me, a poor student, into a new film and television star with extraordinary status.

You are so kind to me, Xu Ge Film and Television is my home,

How could I have any other ideas about home? "

"Haha, okay," Xu Ge patted Chen Xiao on the shoulder again happily: "I read you right."

After a pause, Xu Ge continued: "There have been so many people poaching you this year, including industry giants such as Huayi and Guangguang, but I am very pleased that you can not forget your original intention and still stick to it."

"Director Xu..." Chen Xiao pursed his lips, wanting to explain.

The next second, Xu Ge interrupted: "No need to explain, there is nothing wrong with your behavior. If I were you, I wouldn't publicize it everywhere."

Indicating that Chen Xiao didn't need to say more, Xu Ge added: "I have always been clear about rewards and punishments, and I will never be stingy with those who are willing to follow me sincerely."

"Starting from today, your agency contract will be raised from A-level to S-level, and all benefits will be on par with those of A-list stars.

The score is divided into seven and two, and your seven companies are three. "

"In addition, as long as the big drama is successfully completed at the end of the year, no matter what the ratings are,

I will open a personal studio for you after the new year,

At the same time, the contract is raised to SS level, and the salary is the same as that of the top superstars. It is divided into 91 points, and you have 9 companies and 1 ratio! "

“Finally, there is a billion-dollar potential movie waiting for you next year.

I will tell everyone with practical actions that I will not disrespect any loyal old employees or good friends. "
