Superstars start with variety show hosts

Chapter 411 Funds are tight (for subscription)

Preparations begin.

All departments are busy, and the enthusiasm of the whole group has been mobilized.

"Okay, let's go a little bit first, Cheng Haofeng, Brother Hu, you two check your lines."

During the preparation, Luo Yiming did not let the actors idle.

After 5 minutes, the filming officially started.

This scene is because Xiao Jingrui's half-sister received news that his father was seriously ill, so Xiao Jingrui finally made the decision to accompany Nian Nian to the south.

And Mei Changsu always felt that he owed Xiao Jingrui something.

Because no matter what, he took advantage of this innocent young man, not to mention ruining everything about him at his birthday party.

Overnight, things changed and people changed!

"Old Hu, zoom out the camera."

Luo Yiming signaled Hu Liangbo to move the camera a little farther away, and at the same time the crew on the scene became quiet.

"Mr. Su!"

Xiao Jingrui, who walked slowly in front of Mei Changsu, said, "I didn't expect you to come!"

"Jingrui, I'm sorry."

Mei Changsu looked at Xiao Jingrui's change from calling himself Brother Su to "Mr. Su" and said with a little helplessness.

wry smile!

At this time, Xiao Jingrui couldn't help but smiled wryly when he heard these words, and at the same time said a little indifferently: "What can I blame Mr. Su? My mother's past was not caused by you, and my birth was not arranged by you."

"The unrighteous actions of Xie Hou were all done by him himself, and not planned by you. What can I hate you for?"

"You are just the hands that uncover the truth. What really hurts me is the truth itself."

"I won't take my anger out on you."

……

I have to say that Cheng Haofeng was born in the theater, and his line skills are clear and good, but it seems that Cheng Haofeng has suppressed Brother Hu's aura a little bit.

But it's just a little bit, Brother Hu's play is stronger when Yuqiang is stronger.

Mei Changsu, played by Brother Hu, sighed at this moment, and at the same time made a slight coughing movement, which immediately gave him the initiative.

Boom!

At this time, everyone in the crew, and other actors, were all in high spirits.

Blowing drama is the easiest thing for actors to encounter when they play against each other.

Often, powerful actors will play brilliantly.

Among the most enjoyable dramas, there are a few outstanding dramas, such as "Emperor Kangxi", Chen Daoming and other actors were very enjoyable when they were dramas.

There are also Yan Ni and Zhang Jiayi's "One Servant, Two Masters", and "In the Name of the People" where the old actors don't fight for pay, but for acting skills. The wonderful performances in these plots make people very comfortable to watch.

In contrast, if you watch some dramas in recent years with little fresh meat, poker face, no ups and downs, just uttering the lines, you will commit embarrassment and cancer when you watch it.

Obviously, Cheng Haofeng's performance also greatly promoted Brother Hu's performance. He coughed a few times and said, "But what happened that night was all caused by me. I exposed all the truth in the cruelest way. Don't worry about your feelings and the friendship between us."

With his head down, Cheng Haofeng was silent for a few seconds, then nodded slightly: "Yes, I was very sad because of you doing this."

Speaking of this, Cheng Haofeng glanced at Brother Hu, then turned his head to look into the distance, and chuckled: "I was very sad because you did this, but after all, I am no longer a self-righteous child, I understand Yes, everyone has a trade-off, you took what you think is important and abandoned me, this is just your choice."

"If I feel resentful because I was not chosen, then there are too many unforgivable things in this world. After all, no one has the responsibility to put me first and most important. No matter how much I wish, I can't force it. "

"The reason why I treat you like this is because I am willing. It would be gratifying if I could exchange the same sincerity with this. If not, I have nothing to regret."

This time, Cheng Haofeng speaks freely, and his lines are also very powerful.

Everyone fell into the plot.

But I didn't expect Luo Yiming to yell 'Ka! '!
"Card?" Cheng Haofeng turned around, he was still in the play, he was a little surprised.

Everyone was puzzled and looked at the director one after another.

In the next second, Luo Yiming quickly explained the reason.

Because Cheng Haofeng's eyes were wrong, Cheng Haofeng didn't show emotion when he said this, simply speaking, his eyes were too empty.

Others may not have noticed it, but it can be seen at a glance by the machine.

This point, in fact, many stars in the circle are like this, and many directors don't take it seriously.

But this kind of facial paralysis, Luo Yiming still refused.

Luo Yiming stood up and said, "Haofeng, you play Xiao Jingrui, although he doesn't blame Mei Changsu, but you know that you and him can no longer be friends. Mei Changsu understands this, and you understand it better."

"Since the two of you got acquainted, you have always admired Mei Changsu's talent and bearing, regarded him as a good teacher and helpful friend, and earnestly maintained that friendship, but the unequal relationship between the two of you means that you are not from the same world."

"So what you said is more about relief. At this time, your eyes should change from entanglement, helplessness, resentment to relief."

Luo Yiming pulled Cheng Haofeng in front of the machine, for such an acting school, they often get through at a little bit!
Sure enough, Cheng Haofeng understood after watching the camera.

In fact, when he acted just now, he paid too much attention to the speed and ignored the emotional changes.

This kind of subtle and emotional transformation can better reflect a character's inner world.

Shoot again.

Another one.

With Luo Yiming's guidance, Cheng Haofeng used his emotions this time, and with that line, the two people's wild drama made people more involved and worried.

Regret at the same time.

It's a pity that the two can't be the same way.

The filming process of this scene was also beyond Luo Yiming's expectations. Originally, according to Luo Yiming's plan, this scene had to call the card at least a few times, but it turned out that there was only one.

Naturally, the next thing was to shoot the scene where Yan Yujin bid farewell to Xiao Jingrui.

It can be said that the two grew up together naked, but they had to separate.

As Mei Changsu said, there are so many good friends in the world, who are similar in age and have similar interests, and they could have been inseparable for a lifetime, but who would have expected a sudden change.

Is this not the case in reality? ?

How many of the childhood friends can still be in touch as adults?
More is to get married, meet up in a hurry when giving birth, with a gift, and a few words of pleasantries.

In this scene, the feeling of parting between Yan Yujin and Xiao Jingrui also made the crew deeply moved.

Parting is always sad, reluctant, but helpless.

……

In the evening, we started to move to Zhao Dun's mansion, which will be Ningguohou's mansion, and we will also shoot today's birthday banquet!

I have to say that this group fighting scene was not easy to shoot!
There are almost 500 people in the ensemble, and that's not counting, all the actors in the play have also appeared.

In order to shoot this scene, Fatty Wen, Zhang Feng, Zhao Xiang, Luo Yiming, the four directors also started to link up with each other, with Luo Yiming in the middle directing!
Night scenes are not easy to shoot, especially group plays.

The banquet in the Ningguohou's Mansion was startled at night, and the scene was no less than a grand movie scene.

The fighting skills of various characters and the disputes between factions pushed the whole story of Langya Bang to a climax.

After five consecutive days, the filming of this climactic scene was finally finished.

tired!
After filming this scene, Luo Yiming felt his throat was smoking.

Even many of the extras were injured during the fight, and the props crew had to carry the blame.

Luo Yiming also went into a rage on the spot.

"What is your props team doing? When you are filming, you can't ensure the safety of the actors? Also, how do you treat the extras? Isn't the extras human? Isn't the stand-in human?"

When Luo Yiming saw that the extras were injured, he was really angry.

Although he has no experience as an extra actor, in his previous life, he saw a lot of news about the hard work of extra actors.

The hard work of the stand-in.

Not to mention that these doubles are often covered in injuries.

The point is, they get paid very little.

In other words, it's just a mess.

Luo Yiming does not advocate the use of doubles when filming. This Langya list only includes some big scenes and very professional martial arts moves. In order to present better shooting effects, Luo Yiming took the initiative to ask for doubles.

Others must be done by myself.

After Luo Yiming lost his temper, the crew also gave the stand-in and extras some practical financial comfort.

Fortunately, people are fine!

After filming the Ningguo Marquis' Mansion, the crew did not change the scene, because Zhao Dun's Mansion is naturally used for multiple scenes, and the next Mu Wang Mansion and Yu Wang Mansion will be filmed here.

Time forks!

In the blink of an eye, Luo Yiming has been filming for two weeks. "Langya Bang" is not without any problems during these two weeks. For example, the construction of several locations is relatively time-consuming and money-consuming, but there is no way around it. .

However, Zhang Feng and Zhao Xiang felt very satisfied.

Fatty Wen also said in admiration: "This director Luo is really crazy and not human. He was extremely harsh when filming the scene, but the whole crew is full of energy that has never been seen before. It is really amazing."

Zhang Feng said with a smile: "Are you swearing? Haha."

"I don't." Fatty Wen shook his head.

Zhang Feng continued to laugh: "Indeed, the production crew is completely different with him. He is the Dinghaishenzhen of our Langya list. After two weeks, all the crew members are full of energy."

"I really have to learn from him!"

The three directors are very happy.

Thinking about two weeks ago, "Langya Bang" could be said to have internal and external troubles, and it almost became a joke in the industry.

As a result, after Luo Yiming joined the group, a world-shaking change has taken place.

This is really unacceptable.

The filming of Langya Bang is gradually on the right track, and Luo Yiming's carefulness also needs to be transferred.

However, the shooting is normal. Next, Zhang Feng and Fatty can direct the play step by step.

However, another thorny issue popped up.

funds.

Luo Yiming's high requirements for the camera, actors, and props made Langya Bang's previous budget simply not enough.

The follow-up needs more and more capital investment, and the money Luo Yiming earned from the previous stalls can only be put into the Langya list like a bottomless pit.

In the past few days, the budget has exceeded the previous one by more than 1000 million, and the key point is that only half of the episodes have been filmed.

Langya Bang has a total of fifty episodes.

The more the plot unfolds, the more funds will be invested in the later stage.

Luo Yiming transferred another 2000 million yuan from the company, but this also made Shangteng Entertainment's financial statements ugly.

Since the end of the extreme challenge, Shangteng Entertainment has not yet entered the account of gold.

From acquiring Youshi Video, investing in Charlotte Annoyance, investing in the TV series Langya Bang, and urgently starting to produce mermaids.

Funds are constantly tight.

Charlotte's worry is that she has made money for Shangteng Company, but tens of millions of credits can't solve the practical problem.

With the expansion of the company, the continuous improvement of departments, and the introduction of talents, there is no new content online, no movies, and no TV dramas.

Luo Yiming's current life is not easy.

In particular, Langya Bang with one hand, and mermaids with the other.

Speaking of the previous life, how much did Stephen Chow's movie The Mermaid cost?

It is said to be 3 million. Although that is a few years later, the investment will not be more than double even now.

Normally, a mermaid would also need 1.5 million.

And Luo Yiming's previous plan for the mermaid was simple, 8000 million, but now the funds invested are only 5000 million.

There is not much money in the company's account, and another 1000 million is invested in the Langya list.Can only support up to 1000 million to mermaids.

After Mermaid's 6000 million investment, the capital chain below was broken.

For Luo Yiming's mermaid, he wants to pursue nature and simplicity, but even if it is simplicity, the mermaid film will be shot at 6000 to [-] million, and the viewing effect will definitely be greatly reduced.

Talk about sponsorship?

Come on, I've already got a lot of sponsorships, and Luo Yiming doesn't like a single movie, it's all Amway advertisements.

Money is tight.

At this time, Luo Yiming thought of the method of Master Xing in his previous life.

In the original time and space, Zhou Xingchi's "Mermaid" was not created by him alone. In fact, all his films were distributed by Guangguang.

After Zhou Xingchi entered the mainland, all the films were invested and distributed by Entertainment Arts, "Kung Fu", "Yangtze River No. [-]" including "Journey to the West: Conquering the Demons".

In the original "Journey to the West: Conquering the Demons", the box office agreement between him and Entertainment Arts was [-] million. Once the [-] million box office dividing line was exceeded, Zhang Dongming was willing to pay Zhou Xing holding a floating income according to a floating ratio.

The total cost is 1.13 million yuan, 7700 million yuan is invested in Entertainment Arts, and the remaining 3600 million yuan is invested by Xinghui Company, which is held by Zhou Xing.

In other words, Zhou Xingchi can get close to 6000 million in remuneration, and minus the cost of 3600 million, "Journey to the West: Conquering the Demons" brings Zhou Xingchi only about 2000 million in income.

Later, the movie was released, and the box office reached nearly 8 million in the first week. Of course, Zhou Xingchi quit, and wanted to find a supplementary contract with Entertainment Arts.

This guy, Lao Zhang, has interests above all else, so he didn't agree with Master Xing, and said that the 5 million refers to the net box office revenue, not the box office figure!
The two took it to court.

Of course, in the end, Entertainment Arts won the lawsuit, and Lao Zhang also left behind the very famous sentence, "Judges know more about movies than Stephen Chow!" '

Absolutely a small gain is worth a lot!
Zhou Xingchi's character must be revenged, so the mermaid did not choose to cooperate with Entertainment Arts!
China Film Co., Ltd. and Xinghui Overseas Co., Ltd. were chosen.Zhou Xingchi also made a fortune because of this.

Mermaid's follow-up investment still needs at least 2000 million. Luo Yiming is short of money now, and he wonders if he can find Beile to cooperate with him. It just so happens that his release, entering the theater requires the strong support of a partner like Beile.

　PS: How to cooperate, ask for subscription, ask for monthly pass!
