China Entertainment Times 1999

Chapter 307: China-South Korea co-production blossoms! (Please subscribe!)
China Film did not receive investment this time, but it became the distributor of "The Tuner" in the mainland.

Although there are some differences from expectations, mosquitoes are still meat no matter how small they are, so just make do with it.

"With tea instead of wine, I wish us happy cooperation and great box office success."

Han Sanping was smiling on his face, but in his heart he was complaining about Lin Xuan eating alone.

In comparison, Chen Kaige is much more knowledgeable.

"The Promise" has a luxurious cast, a full crew, and a top-notch special effects team in Asia.

The production cost of this film exceeded 3 million, and China Film received more than half of the investment.

Such a large production cost will definitely not be recovered by relying on the mainland market alone.

China Film is preparing to learn from "Hero" and promote the film to the Asian market and North American market.

This is why Director Chen does not use mainland actors.

According to Lin Xuan's filming rules, new actors must learn first before joining the group, and when filming, they must follow the order of easy first and then difficult.

On the set, Lin Xuan was sitting on a chair doing makeup.

Tang Yan's early scenes were very simple.

"Don't worry, we won't waste any time."

Tang Yan suddenly realized it, and looked like this.

After a long period of hard training, she felt that her acting skills had reached a breakthrough.

The plot to be filmed in the morning is like this.

When he returned to the set, he immediately began to revise the script and changed the background of the story to Korean Bang.

"Of course I have confidence! During this period, I went to class every day, and the teachers praised me for my progress."

There is always clear stupidity in his eyes.

Lin Xuan could only find time to write.

Lin Xuan stood up to say goodbye and left China Film.

"A drama actor in human arts and Chinese language, no wonder his acting skills are so good."

In order to invite someone to come over and teach you newbies, I not only have to spend money, but I also have to make favors. "

When the police investigated the murder case, they found that the person involved was a member of the Malaysian Group.

"Your teacher's salary is higher than yours. If you don't make any progress after studying for more than a month, one of you will definitely leave."

But from today on, her good days are over.

The filming progress of the TV series cannot be delayed.

Tang Yan is sitting on his right side. Her makeup has been greatly changed today, which can be described as heavy makeup.

Tang Yan showed a sweet and silly smile, feeling very confident about today's scene.

The script has almost been revised, and the filming of the TV series is already halfway through.

"Go slowly, go back and seize the time to revise the script, don't delay it for several months."

"Now that the cooperation is concluded, I won't bother you."

China Film has high expectations for this ultra-high-cost fantasy masterpiece.

"The teacher's salary is higher than mine? Is it true?"

After putting on makeup, everyone came to the studio cabin.

He often holds his notebook and consults his fellow Chinese opera actor Duan Yihong for advice.

“Nonsense, you didn’t even check the identity of your teachers, they are all veteran actors in Renyi Guohua.

Perhaps because of her true character, Tang Yan performed well in this part of the scene.

In addition to attending classes on time every day and completing her homework, she also goes to the studio to watch the performances of other actors in her spare time.

I even hope that "The Promise" can challenge "Hero" for the box office title.

"The next few days will be your show. It will be quite difficult. Are you confident?"

Corresponding names of people, places, character identities, and character dialogues all need to be modified.

Instead, Japanese and Korean actors with higher international reputations were reused.

Although she is a pure newcomer, considering that she is the heroine, the salary given to her is relatively high.

This is a big project, as difficult as rewriting a script.

He's just a stupid guy who doesn't understand anything, and he's just a follower behind the two brothers.

…………

In order not to be expelled from the crew, during the period after she joined the crew, her study attitude was even more serious than at school.

Before the final results came out, everyone generally believed that Chen Kaige could do it.

Time flies and it’s May.

Considering that Malaysia and arms are inseparable, the suspects are likely to have guns hidden on their bodies, and rash actions may easily cause casualties.

Fortunately, the suspect is an old pervert who visits massage parlors nearly 50 times a month.

The police decided to send a female police officer to pretend to be a fallen girl and directly control him when he was not prepared.

Zhou Shutong volunteered to participate in the operation, but accidentally took the drug due to lack of experience.

The police had a premonition of something bad and acted promptly. Although they successfully arrested the suspect, Zhou Shutong, who was in a daze, was tied up by him and posed in an indecent posture.

This scene is the exposure scene that Lin Xuan mentioned in Zhongxi.

Everything is ready and shooting officially begins.

Zhou Shutong wore heavy makeup and knocked on the suspect's door.

The suspect was very vigilant and handed her a glass of water directly after entering the door.

Zhou Shutong didn't want to drink, but the suspect kept his hands in his jacket pockets and looked at her maliciously.

Considering the previous speculation, it is very likely that there is a gun hidden in the pocket.

There was no other way, Zhou Shutong could only take a small sip.

But the suspect still didn't let down his guard. He didn't take out his hands until the drug took effect.

The scene where the suspect hides a gun does not exist in the original TV series.

This makes Zhou Shutong's sacrifice particularly stupid and worthless.

After modification, it becomes much more reasonable.

Zhou Shutong fainted on the chair, in a daze and whispering.

Lin Xuan stared at the monitor and found that Tang Yan deliberately imitated a drunken state.

There are many drunkards in life, and there are many people to observe, so she acted like that in this episode.

"This one passed."

After hearing this, Tang Yan immediately woke up and proudly gestured to the camera with scissor hands.

Passing within five points is already a big improvement for her.

The filming of the next scene was about to start, and Lin Xuan asked people to clear the scene and asked several female assistants to come in to help.

The camera was temporarily turned off, Tang Yan took off her clothes and shoes, protected her key parts and climbed onto the bed.

The female assistant hung a piece of rope and tied her hands.

Outside the set, Lin Xuan and Duan Yihong were smoking.

"Director Lin, did you also write the script for this scene?"

"What do you mean, you think I'm not serious?"

"No, I feel like Director Lin understands life very well."

"Hahaha……"

The two laughed wildly outside the house.

That's the bad thing about holding the title of screenwriter.

Whenever there is a controversial plot in the play, the screenwriter has to take the blame.

Lin Xuan tried to regain his respect and explained: "If you have nothing to do, read more books. These things are available in ancient books."

Duan Yihong smiled and looked like he had learned a lesson.

After smoking, the cabin was ready.

The assistant director was sitting on the monitor, and Duan Yihong led his team to break open the door and rush in.

The suspect was only wearing a pair of underwear, and the clothing containing the gun was thrown to the ground.

As he was about to take action, several SWAT officers rushed in and pushed him down.

After the suspect was controlled, Guan Hongfeng walked into the hut and was stunned by the scene in front of him.

He quickly motioned to the policewoman beside him to put some clothes on Zhou Shutong.

Tang Yan originally had dark skin, but after applying makeup cream all over her body, her skin looked white and delicate.

Except for a few close-ups, this scene is almost all shot in one shot.

The crew filmed the scene more than a dozen times, during which time Tang Yan's hands were hung.

When Lin Xuan announced that this was passed, the female assistant quickly helped her untie the rope and put on her clothes. "Is everything okay?"

Lin Xuan came over and asked.

Tang Yan rubbed her wrist and shook her head gently.

During the filming just now, the entire group of more than a dozen actors saw her back.

Although the front was not exposed, she still felt ashamed.

The first drama in her career as an actress was of such a large scale, which made her feel a little depressed now.

Lin Xuan was keenly aware of her thoughts, so he called her outside to comfort her.

Tang Yan listened carefully and felt much relieved.

"I understand all these principles. When you are an actor, you have to overcome these hurdles.

Don't worry, Director Lin, you'll feel better after going back to the hotel and taking a nap. "

"As long as you can figure it out, come on!"

…………

A few days later, Lin Xuan finally revised the script of "The Tuner" and sent it to the radio and television for review.

The review process was very fast, and the filming permit was issued within two days.

With this piece of paper, the project can be launched.

Lin Xuan called Li Meijing, president of CJ Entertainment, to talk to her about cooperation.

Li Meijing also didn’t expect that the first cooperation between the two companies would come so quickly.

To show her sincerity, she personally led a team to the capital to discuss cooperation.

Lin Xuan gave the crew two days off and returned to the capital to greet them in person.

That night, he arranged a dinner at CJ's hotel.

After the banquet, Lin Xuan and Li Meijing had a brief chat and left.

The deposed prince Li Mengxi is in the capital, and the father and daughter must have something to talk about after not seeing each other for a long time.

The next morning, negotiations officially began.

Representatives from both sides were quarreling in the conference room.

Lin Xuan stayed in the courtyard to relax.

It was not convenient for him to be present in this kind of red-necked quarrel.

He told the negotiators the company's bottom line, and it was up to these professionals as to how to negotiate.

After two days of arduous negotiations, the two sides finally reached a consensus.

The movie "The Tuner" was produced by Lin Xuan Studio and was mainly filmed in Seoul.

CJ Entertainment is responsible for publicity and distribution in overseas markets and provides assistance during the filming process.

The most important investment shares are Lin Xuan Studio accounting for 70% and CJ Entertainment accounting for 30%.

As for the specific investment amount, it will not be clear until the two companies make on-site calculations, and it is expected to be more than 5000 million yuan.

After the two parties signed the contract, Lin Xuan and Li Meijing stood together and took a group photo.

…………

The next day, Lin Xuan returned to the crew to continue filming.

People from the studio went to Han Bang with CJ Entertainment to survey the location and look for locations.

A few days later, the official websites of the two companies posted news about co-production of a movie.

It’s not clear what the reaction from Han Bang was, but the internal entertainment was a blast.

Lin Xuan has always liked to eat alone. This time he cooperated with CJ Entertainment, which is uncharacteristic of the norm. It is obviously for the overseas market.

The situation was not complicated, and people in the industry quickly figured it out.

In recent years, the status of domestic entertainment has been very low, and actors with some ability want to go outside.

Those who are on the verge of going to Hong Kong and Taiwan, those who are more capable will go to Japan and South Korea, and the top ones of course want to make a career in Hollywood.

Just go to the red carpet at a film festival and play a cameo role in a foreign movie, and you can become an international star in no time.

Net worth, endorsements, business, and income from all aspects will skyrocket.

Which actor can withstand such temptation?

As a result, Lin Xuan's phone was inundated with calls again.

What story is this movie about?
How many important characters are there in the movie?

What kind of actors do these roles require?
The movie hasn't started shooting yet, so Lin Xuan doesn't want to reveal too much information.

Everyone started asking questions for a long time, but in the end they only knew that it was a suspense crime movie.

There are four or five important roles, among which the heroine has been booked by CJ.

The male lead, Lin Xuan, and the female lead have not yet been decided. There is definitely no hope for these two roles.

Everyone’s focus is on the second male and female lead.

"Director Lin, your popularity is so terrifying. Everyone in the industry is discussing this movie."

On the set of the film crew, Lin Xuan suddenly received a call from Ning Hao.

"Are you here to congratulate me, or are you here to complain?"

The popularity of "The Tuner" was so high that the news of the casting auditions for "Crazy Stone" was covered up.

"Of course congratulations. The two movies are on different levels and there is no conflict at all."

Those who inquire about "The Tuner" are basically top actors in the industry.

Those who auditioned for "Crazy Stone" were all second-tier actors, or veteran actors who were not well-known but had outstanding acting skills.

These actors are very self-aware.

They knew from the beginning that they had no hope, so they focused on other projects.

Lin Xuan asked: "How was the audition? Are there many people here?"

"There are so many people. The corridors of the hotel are full of people."

Even though the limelight was completely suppressed by "The Tuner", many actors still came to audition for "Crazy Stone".

Ning Hao's tone was extremely excited.

He has been in the industry for two or three years, but he has never been found in the industry.

Just because Lin Xuan invested in the movie, he immediately became a popular director in the mainland.

Actors who had never thought of it before came forward to audition.

He was very polite when talking to him.

After learning that the investment in the film was not large, he even offered to reduce the salary.

"How do the actors I recommended perform?"

Lin Xuan recommended Huang Bo to play Heipi, Zeng Li to play Dao Brother's wife, and Xu Zheng to play Feng Dong.

Huang Bo's role in the crew has been completed, and Lin Xuan recommended him after seeing his good acting skills.

Huang Bo was very moved by this kindness, and Lin Xuan took the opportunity to extend an olive branch to him.

Now that he has decided to become an artist manager, he now needs to select suitable artists for the company.

At this time, Huang Bo had not yet become popular, so it only took one sentence to deal with him.

The reason for recommending Zeng Li has already been mentioned, and the reason for recommending Xu Zheng was because the couple came to the crew to ask for help.

Xu Zheng's development has been steady and progressive in the past few years. He has starred in several male lead roles, and his ratings and audience popularity are also good.

The only drawback is that he has no film resources and can only work in the television industry.

And Lin Xuan, who played the supporting role of Wu Gang at the beginning, has grown into a big shot that he needs to look up to.

He is afraid that his brother will suffer, and he is even more afraid that his brother will drive a Land Rover.

Xu Zheng had this mentality at the beginning.

He wants to compete with Lin Xuan to prove himself.

However, after several failed attempts, he gave up completely.

He is still working hard in the television industry, and Lin Xuan has already gone to Berlin to win an award.

The gap between the two is too big, and they are no longer the same level of players.

After completely letting go of his worries, Xu Zheng took the initiative to contact Lin Xuan and went to the crew to visit and give gifts.

Lin Xuan felt that he was very suitable to play the role of Director Feng, so he recommended him to Ning Hao.

"There is no need to question Director Lin's vision. They performed well and all passed the audition. Especially that Huang Bo..."

Ning Hao reported to him on the phone about the first day of the audition.

In addition to the three unofficial connections, he also selected an actor.

Wang Xun, who plays the role of Feng Dong's subordinate.

His looks and acting skills make him perfect for playing a bully.
