During my years at China Entertainment

Chapter 327 Super long delayed launch guest appearance
Movies have popular schedules, and so do TV series, but the two are very different.

But there is no doubt that during the summer vacation, the participation of the student party will definitely be an excellent help for the TV series's ratings to soar.

In view of this situation, "Swordsman in the Snow" was jointly arranged by Huizhou Satellite TV and Jiangsu and Zhejiang Satellite TV to be broadcast in early August.

In early July, the promotion of the TV series has begun. The two major TV stations announced the purchase price of "Swordsman in the Snow" for the first time.

As soon as the news came out, it can be said that one stone stirred up a thousand waves.

"Holy shit, a single episode is worth 220 million, and the first round of a drama is nearly million!"

"Shanhe Media is really awesome. If you don't take action, it will be great. Once it does, it will be a hit. It seems that no drama it leads has less than one million yuan per episode."

"Trivia: The price record for a single episode of a TV series was previously publicly shown to be 240 million for an episode of "The Ancient City". In fact, a few years ago, the price of a single episode of "My Love from the Star" directly broke through due to gambling. 260 million, this is the ceiling price!”

The eyes of many companies in the industry are directly envious. The first round is 220 million. As long as the ratings are stable, the price for the second, third and online rounds combined will definitely exceed this figure. After all, one drama will directly make a profit of one. With more than million, Shanhe Media is simply robbing money.

The cast of "The Legend of Hongmen Banquet".

Although the theater schedule will gradually decrease as the single-day box office declines, this 90-day release time is really too much.

Wang Zixuan has been with him for three years. She will be 30 years old in the new year. Wei Jin thinks it is time to praise her.

Looking at the news on the Internet, Zeng Jia's face was flushed, as if she had experienced an intracranial orgasm, and she turned to Yang Mi and started to inject chicken blood.

"No problem, Sister Jia, this kind of life is really fulfilling."
-
Shanhe Building, in the chairman's office.

"Mimi, did you see it? Only by becoming capital can it be easy to make money."

As soon as the news came out, there was a lot of scolding in the circle. This is completely cheating.

Wei Jin nodded when he heard this. The casting work for these two dramas had been completed a few days ago, and the preparations were going smoothly. It was time to start filming.

As soon as the assistant Zixuan heard the meaning of these words, she understood what her boss wanted to do. She put the documents in her hands on the desk and squatted down consciously.

"Boss, there is news from Director Jiang that the investment from Shanghai Film Studio has arrived, and the start time of "The Art of Mind" and "The Legend of Chu Qiao" is set in a week."

"Well"

Feeling the warmth of the clone, Wei Jin was very satisfied.

"Director Wei, now that you are the box office record holder, why would you want to make such a low-budget movie?"

The same is true for "Martial Arts". As its reputation collapsed, the box office dropped to 1520 million on the second day and 1440 million on the third day.

This person is very responsible for his work. In order to write "The Art of Mind", he went to the hospital to "undercover" for several months. After the script was released, it was directly bought by Shanhe Media.

"Don't envy others. When this drama airs, you will have completely stabilized your position as a front-line celebrity. You will have a chance by then."

Assistant Wang Zixuan came in with some documents and opened her mouth to report.

After all, as the first domestic TV series with realistic medical themes, the script must be more serious to reflect professionalism.

The problem with "The Legend of Chu Qiao" was that it was suspected of plagiarism. The screenwriting department discovered this problem when adapting it, and then immediately bought the plagiarized "Mrs. Hu Zhu" together to avoid subsequent troubles.

"Okay, Zixuan, I may not be able to feed you on the set this time. Let the boss relieve your itching first today."
-
In the movie market, the box office of "The Raid" is still booming, with the single-day box office remaining above 2000 million.

Yang Mi's face is full of fighting spirit. She is the leading female lead in "Swordsman in the Snow", so her appearance rate will not be too high when the time comes.

With the entire crew, Wei Jin held a simple start-up ceremony and was interviewed by on-site reporters.

The main shooting location of the drama "The Art of Mind" was in Shanghai. When the joints were opened, Shanghai Film Group helped a lot. They took advantage of the situation and proposed cooperation. Wei Jin couldn't refuse, so he gave 20% of the share.

"By the way, the filming here will be finished soon, and the promotion of the TV series will begin soon. Can your body handle it?"

"Okay, is there anything else important?"

Wei Jin nodded, he could understand Boss Yang's eagerness.

Zeng Jia had joy on her face, as if she had already seen the day when she would turn around and become a capital.

Listening to the boss's words, Wang Zixuan was a little moved, but also a little reluctant, so she could only lower her head deeply.

"Yes, my salary for the nearly three months of filming was only 200 million, while my senior brother earns to million for one drama."

Speaking of which, the screenwriting department spent a lot of time on these two scripts before, handling both the beginning and the end.

Not to mention this data, it is questionable whether it can complete the one-month release period.

"In addition, Yinghuang is very satisfied with the script of "Slaying the Wolf 2". Our 40% investment share has been determined. Preliminary preparations have begun. Yinghuang expects to start production in mid-September."

A few minutes later, Wei Jin felt that the heat was coming and reached out to pull Zixuan up.

"Okay, I see."

The original screenwriter of the drama "Intentions" is Liuliu, a female author. The previous popular "Dwelling" was written by her.

Wei Jin ignored the commotion in the industry. On the 8th, he rushed to Jinmen with the creators of "Twenty Again". At this time, the crew had already prepared the scenery in advance.

It may be a common problem of female screenwriters. A medical drama has a lot of emotional drama added to it, which is really a bit different. In the end, the screenwriting department made a lot of adaptations and deleted the main line of emotional drama.

In contrast, the box office of other movies is not very good. The single-day box office of "The Founding of the Party" has dropped to three to four million, and it continues to decline.

Perhaps in order to maintain the face of the gift film and the slogan it shouted before, the Film Bureau issued the latest document, the core content of which is:
"The release time of "The Founding of the Party" will be extended to three months."

Yang Mi's tone was full of emotion, and then he added with a hint of envy.

"Zixuan, this role is your debut work. In the future, I will try my best to arrange for you to participate in the company's projects."

"Fan Bingbing has made a lot of money. She has participated in investing in several movies and TV series this year. Meitao Entertainment's profits this year will probably exceed most companies in the industry."

Hearing this question, Liu Yifei was a little embarrassed. It was all because of her that her men would lower themselves to film such a movie.

"This reporter, in terms of cost alone, my director's salary is worth 50 million, and the salary of one Philippine is also 10 million. In total, the production cost of "Twenty Again" is as high as 80 million. I I don’t think it’s a low-budget movie, what do you think?”

Seeing that his sophistry was effective, Wei Jin continued to add:
"What's more, the production cost of a movie does not matter, as long as the audience likes to watch it, isn't "The Raid" the best example?"

"Hello, Director Wei, what kind of story is "Twenty Again" about?"

"As the name suggests, the story tells the story of a 20-year-old woman who transformed into a -year-old girl through a youth photo studio, and then returned to daily life with a new identity, which triggered a series of ridiculous but touching stories. "

"But Director Wei, looking at your past film types, it seems that this kind of heartwarming comedy-oriented theme is not what you are good at. Aren't you afraid of encountering Waterloo?"

I glanced at the reporter's badge. Damn, it's Nanfang Daily again. This is a quarrel with me, right?

Just as he was about to start a direct confrontation, Chen Xi had already stepped forward to protect the master domineeringly. "Friend this reporter, our movie has already made a profit before it even started shooting. It has received more than 8000 million yuan in commercial sponsorship from product placement and pre-roll advertising. In addition, South Korea and Japan have also obtained the rights to remake the movie. The asking price has reached US$800 million, so what are you worried about?”

As soon as Chen Xi said this, the scene was filled with excitement. This was a money grab, but some reporters still refused to give up and wanted to dig out some big news.

"Director Wei, are you in a relationship with Liu Yifei?"

Some reporters were already wailing in their hearts, where did this stupid criticism come from? As soon as this question came up, today's interview was probably going to end.

As expected, when Wei Jin heard this, he immediately started the expulsion mode.

"Journalist friend, today is the movie launch conference. Please don't ask questions that have nothing to do with the movie. Today's interview ends here. Thank you all."

"."

After dismissing the reporters, Wei Jin began to relax on the set. The producer and executive director were responsible for everything on the set.

In a short while, all the main creators had put on their makeup, and the crew had prepared all the work.

"Yifei, this makeup suits you quite well."

Looking at the retro makeup on Liu Yifei's face, the temperament of a young lady from the Republic of China came to her face, and Wei Jin couldn't help but nodded with satisfaction.

"Well, I think it's pretty good-looking too."

Liu Yifei was also very satisfied with the makeup in the drama. She took out her phone and took selfies like crazy before turning on the phone.

Shu Chang on the side couldn't help but joked:

"Xixi, why don't you think the Republican makeup from the time of "The Golden Family" looks good? I think some people just don't like it."

Before Shu Chang could finish her words, Liu Yifei covered her mouth with her hand. This best friend's mouth was too loose.

Watching the two little girls playing around, Wei Jin was in a good mood. He had a hunch that this shooting would be extremely easy.

Then he calmed down and sat down on the monitor. He looked around and found that all the units were in place, so he picked up the loudspeaker.

"start."

The field manager immediately came over to announce the curtain.

""Twenty Again", first scene, first shot, action!"

In this scene, the elderly heroine passed by a photo studio and recalled her youth. She wanted to leave a memory for herself. Unexpectedly, after taking the photo, she transformed into a 20-year-old young girl.

"Click."

Wei Jin looked at the picture on the monitor and gave instructions directly.

"This one passed."

Liu Yifei was already waiting nearby, and her first appearance was next. Although she had rehearsed this scene several times in private, she was still a little nervous when it came to the end. After all, she had not appeared in a Wei Jin movie for seven years.

Following the instructions from the field staff, Liu Yifei took a deep breath and walked in front of the camera.

There was no time to think too much, and with the sound of "action", Liu Yifei began to perform in front of the camera.
"Click."

Looking at the picture on the monitor, Wei Jin issued instructions.

"Attention all units, this is coming again."

"receive."
-
While Wei Jin's new movie is being shot in an orderly manner, Sunward Media's two new movies in the second half of the year have also been announced to start filming.

The media gave extensive coverage.

"The Legend of Chu Qiao, a costume legendary inspirational drama jointly produced by Shanhe Media, Qiao Zhenyu Studio, and Meitao Entertainment with an investment of 80 million, was launched in a low-key manner at the Hengdian Film and Television Base today.

The drama stars top actor Qiao Zhenyu and new Star Culture artist Zhao Liying, and tells the story of..."

"Co-produced by Shanhe Media, Shanghai Film Group, and Meitao Entertainment, with an investment of 40 million, China's first realistic medical drama "Psychology" started shooting today at the East Branch of Huashan Hospital Affiliated to Fudan University. The story is"

As soon as the news was announced, Zhao Liying instantly became the focus of the entire network.

"Who is this bun-faced person?"

"Is the person upstairs not connected to the Internet in the village? This is Zhao Liying, an artist who just signed a contract with Star Culture two months ago."

"Eh? Isn't this Qing'er from "My Fair Princess" that is still being promoted?"

After looking at the news on the Internet, the few young artists at Huayi became silent. They were really embracing them.

Li Xuexue also couldn't believe it. Zhao Liying was just mediocre. What did Sunward Media think? Could it be that Huayi really made a mistake? ——
Jinmen, the set of "Twenty Again" welcomed its first visiting actor, who is also a guest actor.

"Brother Hua, is your part over?"

"Well, Director Lu is very efficient. He concentrated on shooting and it was a little faster than expected."

"Okay, let's finish filming first and then catch up on old times."

Wei Jin patted King Liu Tian on the shoulder and turned to shout to the attendant.

"Someone, come and take Brother Hua to change his clothes."

Soon, Liu Tianwang changed his clothes, put on a helmet, and appeared on the set. Everyone in the crew called him "good guy". This is exactly the look in "If There is Love".

Seeing that many people in the crew couldn't help but hum the theme song of "If There's Love", Wei Jin nodded. This was the effect he wanted.

With the rise of the Internet in recent years, many classic scenes from old movies have been edited repeatedly by netizens. In "If There is Love", Liu Tianwang rides a motorcycle and runs with his beloved woman, with blood dripping from his nose. The shot that falls into the hands of a woman is definitely a classic among classics.

Especially the moment the song of the same name plays, it definitely gives people goosebumps all over.

Today's scene is very simple. Liu Tianwang is wearing a white suit and riding a motorcycle, stopping in front of the elderly heroine Wu Yanshu.

The camera showed a close-up of his handsome face, and Liu Tianwang said in an old-fashioned way:
"How's it going? Aren't you so handsome? Get in the car!"

"Click."

Behind the monitor, Wei Jin gave instructions. This kind of cameo scene was simply too simple for Liu Tianwang.

"Brother Hua, congratulations on finishing the project. I will practice it for you tonight, haha."

"it is good."
