The king of all people

Chapter 206 Pulling Jay Chou to comeo

The heat of the hot pot permeated the whole body of the two of them, and when they stepped out of the door, they were chilled by the cold wind blowing in their faces.

It's not too far from Huayi Brothers, and the pedestrians coming and going can be described as sparse.Li Xian looked at Fan Bingbing, who was wrapped in a goose-yellow down jacket, rubbing his hands repeatedly to keep warm, and was involuntarily stunned for a moment.

Compared with the time when she was called "Fan Ye" by the outside world in memory, there is no obvious change in her appearance now, but there is an attractiveness all over her body that makes people want to take care of her... …

Perhaps, Fan Bingbing at this time is the most real her.It's not the desperate Sanniang, it's not the top actress, it's just a girl next door who is about the same age as Hua Hua...

The neon lights on the side of the road wobbled against the faces of the two of them. When they walked downstairs to the Huayi Brothers office building, Fan Bingbing paused his slow pace and smiled slightly: "I'm at the company...it's not far from my home." Far, do you want to go to my house? I mentioned you to my parents, and they often asked me to learn more from you.

"Ahem... I won't go today. I'll go back to the company first and then sort out the script. Please say hello to my uncle and aunt. I'll go back with you when I'm ready at another time..."

When Li Xian said this, his expression looked very serious, but Bingbing felt that there was something wrong with how he heard it, as if he wanted Li Xian to go back to see his father-in-law and mother-in-law... So he stopped inviting and covered his mouth to cover the wind The cashmere scarf that resisted the cold said: "Okay then, you go back to rest early, don't be too strict with yourself... I like the story of this script very much, and I am also very interested in the role of Shen Jiayi. At least I am still looking forward to filming Sitting at the back table every day to 'tune' your...

"I will contact my agent Wang Jinghua early tomorrow morning. I basically have no other drama plans recently. As long as Sister Hua lets go, there will be basically no major problems. I will be able to cooperate with our talented Li again soon~"

Li Xian has frequently asked Fan Bingbing to come out these two days. The purpose is to use the script of "The Girl We Chased Together" to impress the "Shen Jiayi" in his heart. Now that the other party has personally confirmed that the schedule is sufficient, the news of participating in the performance can basically be confirmed. , Dang even let out a long breath.

"Then I will always wait for your good news. Li Xian tidied up Fan Bingbing's disheveled hair which was blown by the cold wind, and then smiled comfortably.

Back at the "Shixian" studio in the corner of the second floor of Huayi Brothers, Li Xian quickly began to sort out the preparations for the movie "The Girl We Chased Together".

What surprised him was that this time Huayi did not stand up and object harshly when they heard that they were going to direct a film by themselves. Instead, they took a bystander attitude and let Li Xian and his small team freely develop.

Li Xian is not an idiot. He understands that there must be reasons for Xiao Yun to "walk around" in the company. Furthermore, his current contract is about to expire. Since Huayi knows that he has no plans to renew the contract, of course he will not Will put more energy into myself.

However, this is exactly what Li Xian wanted. Before, he was worried that Huayi would use the contract to restrict him, and he would not even allow him to direct the movie alone. The troubles were sorted out.

However, when Li Xian sorted out his thoughts from a pile of documents on his desk, he finally realized how difficult it is to personally film a film history.

Especially Li Xian, as the planner of the entire "The Girl We Chased Together in Those Years", as the protagonist of the "game", he has come into contact with some game rules that he did not understand at this early stage.

Different from the identity of an actor, if you want to complete a film as a director, there will be a steady stream of rules and regulations from beginning to end, limiting the progress and increasing the difficulty of shooting from different angles and directions.

Li Xian still doesn't know how much money will be needed for the successful production of "The Girl We Chased Together in Those Years", but at this time, he has to start calculating his existing storage.

The biggest piece of cake, apart from the more than 400 million funds from my own bank card, is the 800 million remuneration for the "Baidu Tieba" corporate propaganda copy that was sold to Baidu Group, but now Baidu is still there. It was not forwarded to him... In addition, the follow-up box office dividends and copyright remuneration of the movie "Shaolin Soccer" and the novel "Gu Jian Qi Tan" will arrive in his account one after another. The 500 million mark.

Fifteen million, this number is not a small number even in 500, more than ten years later, but Li Xian will not be satisfied with this astronomical figure that he could only look up to in the past... Money is indeed a lot, But after all, he can’t spend all of it on this movie. He has to set aside a large part to prepare for the opening of an independent studio in the future. Not too much.

Although he has always planned to control the cost as much as possible, the necessary basic work and post-production publicity are all places where real money is spent. The cost can be low, but in any case he cannot make a shoddy garbage movie.If the word-of-mouth is underestimated and the box office loses money after the movie is released in the future, then Li Xian will really lose his wife and lose his army.

After estimating the shooting cost and initial budget, Li Xian's next question is the selection of actors.

He now has a general plan in mind.When filming the movie "Those Years", except for himself and Fan Bingbing, he planned to adopt new and unfamiliar faces for some of the other main characters.On the one hand, the remuneration of newcomers will not be too high, and the remaining funds can be invested in filming more.

On the other hand, the movie "Those Years" is originally a fresh film with the slogan of youth campus. Adding some unfamiliar faces in the film can also better provide the audience with a sense of freshness, so as not to make them feel uncomfortable. It looks like a few old acquaintances.

As for Li Xian himself, he can be said to be an "old" face in the entertainment industry now, but he will not worry that his role as Ke Jingteng will give everyone a feeling of aesthetic fatigue, because this performance is very important to the audience. For him, it should be a challenge and a new attempt.

He himself is about the same age as the character Ke Jingteng, and he can more deeply speculate on some of the inner dramas of this character. He can empathize with the inner thoughts of adolescent boys.What's more, this work, which is called the new benchmark of youth pure love movies for small fresh movies, still has several scenes that are not suitable for children...

Like the disharmonious scene of masturbation in class, Li Xian can imagine how much repercussions this scene will cause after the movie is released... Besides, Ke Jingteng is almost "naked (he) running around at home" There are not too many scenes in the film. If Li Xian wants to act well in these scenes, the first thing he must do is to improve his acting skills. This is not only a challenge to him psychologically, but also a challenge to his acting ability. .

Of course, these scale-level shots that are not suitable for children must be carefully obtained. The General Manager of Radio and Television has always been strict with domestic film and television dramas. If you call back, you will directly pass the review.

Li Xian rubbed his panda eyes after he was busy until one o'clock in the night. He left Huayi Brothers with his tired body and hurried back to his apartment.

The next day, Li Xian forced himself to get out of bed early in the morning. The first thing he did was to call Jay Chou's mobile phone number that had been entered in the phone book a long time ago but had never been dialed... He planned to invite Jay Chou at In "Those Years, The Girl We Chased Together", she played a guest role in a few scenes, but the role is quite brilliant.

However, during the short period of time waiting for the call to be connected, Li Xian felt a little embarrassed.Since he and Jay Chou made their debut on the Chinese music list last year, he has not actively contacted him for more than a year... and now he is going to be a director to make a movie but he finds the other party. Some are a little too "familiar".

"Hello, are you Li Xian...?"

On the other end of the phone, Jay Chou, who was far away in Alpha Records in Taipei City, connected Li Xian's call in surprise.It's not surprising that he would have this kind of reaction. I really admire Li Xian very much. Last year at the awards ceremony, the two even played a guessing game in front of everyone...

However, although Jay Chou thinks that Li Xian is a rare artist friend in the entertainment circle who gets along well with him, but because the two sides of the strait are separated and there is not much overlap in work, it can be said that there is basically no intersection between the two.

After all, the entertainment industry is also a part of this society.Distance is a great weapon to alienate the relationship between each other. Once time goes by, the two parties who have not been in touch for too long, even good friends who used to talk about everything, are very likely to become strangers and ordinary friends. , this is also inevitable...

If not, there wouldn't be so many long-distance couples eventually lost to distance and time.

Of course, Jay Chou would not be implicated in such a deep way in an instant, he guessed a possibility, could it be that the last time he said something nice about Li Xian in front of the reporter, did he make a special phone call to thank him?

"Oh, it's not bad, I can tell it's me. Good morning, Jay Chou~" Li Xian deliberately imitated Jay Chou's tone of voice, trying to keep the conversation between the two sides from being too alienated and unfamiliar.

"It's really good. You made a cross-sea call early in the morning. Do you want to thank me for the unstinting praise you gave me in front of the reporters last time?" Very hearty laugh a few times.But there is one thing that is strange to him. He doesn't understand why Li Xian gave him an inexplicable title of "Dong Zhou" when he saw him for the first time...

One is not the boss, the other is not the president, at best he is just a singer working in a record company...

"Cough cough... I really want to thank you very much." Jay Chou didn't mention it, Li Xian almost forgot about it, coughed lightly in embarrassment, and went straight to the question: "Jay Chou, I don't know you Are you free recently? I am going to make a movie myself, and I would like to invite you to play a guest role in the movie."
