You can't imagine the happiness of the group performance

Chapter 729 Of course I chose the sex scene
Chen Kexin wanted to use the stars and the sea as a springboard, so why not Jiang Yan.

Anyway, Chen Kexin is also a well-known director in Xiangjiang.

In the hearts of the domestic people, the status of directors and artists from Xiangjiang is naturally higher than that of the mainland.

For the same film, if a Hong Kong director directs and a mainland director directs, the style is different, and the investment they attract can be many times different. This is how the atmosphere is, and this is not something that can be changed in a short period of time.

Although this may not have a particularly big impact on the box office, and Jiang Yan's Stars and Seas does not need director Xiangjiang to increase the quality, but who makes Stars and Seas have almost no reserves of famous directors.

Moreover, cooperating with director Xiangjiang also has other benefits, that is, it can better reflect the strength of stars and seas.

The strength here does not refer to the size of the capital, but to the market position.

When director Xiangjiang came, he followed the rules of Xingchenhai, and the price was not inflated. Various matters such as casting were decided by Xingchenhaihai. This was a loss to other mainland counterparts.

Colleagues will compare this flag when they cooperate with Xiangjiang directors and artists in the future.

If it's not as good as it is, or even worse, then I'm sorry, you'd better bear it when others say you lick it.

If it is comparable, it means that the mainland industry has established a certain degree of self-confidence, or your personal development has reached a certain level. The former is a major event in the mainland film and television industry. Cooperation, then there is no other way.

But all in all, Jiang Yan felt that stepping up the cultivation of his own famous director must be on the agenda.

In the office, after Jiang Yan and Chen Kexin met, Aunt Mei was taken by sister Yu to visit the sea of ​​stars, and Jiang Yan and Chen Kexin went directly to the script discussion session.

Jiang Yan knows of three versions of the movie "When a Man is in Love". The first is the Korean version released in 2013, starring South Korean actor Hwang Jung-min, and the representative work is Ding Qing, the elevator god of war in "New World".

In 2021, Wanwan made a movie of the same name, starring Tangyan's ex-boyfriend and famous entertainment industry scumbag Qiu Zhi,

Later, a mainland version was released, "Northeast Love Brother", which was remade by Bao Beier. The plot is not much different from the previous two editions. It can be regarded as the mainland version or the online version.

The best of the three versions is South Korea. The plot is good and sensational enough. The key is that Hwang Jung-min's acting skills are really good, and he is worthy of the top Korean actor.

Wanwan's Qiu Zhi is in the middle, but his performance is not bad. The main reason is that Huang Zhengmin's pearls are ahead, and he is compared.

The worst one is Bao Beier's version. What does this person say? Mr. Zhao, who "pays for the whole audience", performed well. The rest, anyway, just talking about this play, Jiang Yan thinks he was overwhelmed by the first two. All kinds of hanging.

Aside from his acting skills, his image is far less suitable than the other two.

The main setting of the male lead in this play is that he is a superficial villain, but he is actually a good guy.

Just talking about this point, Bao Beier is not suitable. With his appearance, playing a good guy is a bit of a comedy, a bit stupid, and playing a bad guy. Anyway, if someone really looks like this, I guess the street is full of fire every day and they want to tease him, because he can’t be restrained. , so the sense of disobedience cannot be smoothed out.

After that, there are more detailed settings. The original male protagonist has a fierce appearance but a simple and kind heart. Huang Zhengmin's performance is extremely good.

The Wanwan version is handsome on the outside, kind and infatuated on the inside, and Qiu Zhi, a handsome guy, can also handle it very well.

As for the mainland version, I won’t talk about that. Anyway, in terms of character setting, Jiang Yan is tall and handsome. The reference is to pinch Huang Zhengmin and Qiu Zhi’s characters. As for Bao Beier, there is not much reference.

However, the mainland version also has places that can be used for reference, such as the background of the era in which the story takes place.

In order to pass the review, the time background of this edition is placed in the 90s, because there must be some relevant plots involving gangsters, and the background of the city must also be blurred, so as not to arouse some associations.

In addition to these, the ending of the story must be that the bad guys are punished. There is no way, this is a mainland movie.

Fortunately, this is the ending in one stroke, without affecting the main line, and the highlights still revolve around the male and female protagonists.

Same as the original version, the male and female protagonists are debt collectors and debtors at the beginning, using debt as a bond, the male protagonist chases the female protagonist, makes some unreasonable demands, and gradually conquers the female protagonist, the straight man of steel chases the female protagonist, creating a pair The feeling of rejoicing as enemies, slowly feeling each other's hearts in getting along and colliding, regardless of whether the three views are positive or not, this mode is still very pleasing.

From the initial happy friends to the middle, the male and female protagonists are together, the male protagonist's prodigal son turns around, and prepares to close the mountains to live a small life, and then stage one of the old three treasures of Korean dramas.

The three treasures of Korean dramas, amnesia, car accidents, and poor medical treatment. Although they are well-known, they are really good when they are filmed. They have a strong sense of plot conflict and are extremely lethal in this era.

Afterwards, because of this turning point, the male protagonist began to think of ways to leave a way for the female protagonist, staged an infatuated dedication, and then there were various obstacles, various misunderstandings by the female protagonist, and finally clarified, and then began to attack the audience to death .

Frankly speaking, from the perspective of later generations, this kind of plot is a bit old-fashioned, but even so, many viewers still love it later.

Once the prodigal son's return, terminal illness, infatuation and other elements are combined, their own power cannot be underestimated.

At least in Jiang Yan's opinion, there is still a market for this kind of mature commercial romance film in the current mainland film and television industry.

Under the premise of guaranteed quality, coupled with Jiang Yan's popularity, I dare not say that there are too many, but Xiaobo is very promising.

As for whether it can surpass "My Sassy Girl", it certainly cannot be forced.

The quality of "My Sassy Girl" itself is higher than that of the original "When a Man is in Love", not to mention that the preparation period before its release lasted at least half a year.

It is also an adaptation of a "true story" in the real world, and the proceeds are used for donations, and it is based on a novel. There are many stories that people like to talk about in the heroine casting, and there are even new line movies like Star Cinema. The opening of theaters in the model, and the blessing of the World Cup.

It can be said that "Sassy Girl" takes advantage of the right time, place and people.

So from the very beginning, Jiang Yan didn't intend to use this film to break the record, nor did he intend to promote the popularity of Wang Hui's corpse. The main task was to push Yan Danchen to satisfy Xiao Chenchen's little wish.

So box office results or something, as long as it is not too ugly.

Of course, as long as Jiang Yan plays the role, and still subverts the image and contributes super acting skills, the box office will not be lower, it's just that Jiang Yan doesn't care how much he has.

The plot of "Man in Progress" itself is not complicated, and there are not many local elements in South Korea. It can be easily remade into Chinese. Now the editorial department of Xingchenhai has refined the script, the main plot remains unchanged, and some mainland elements have been added.

Jiang Yan read the final script and was generally satisfied.

But this is not over yet, he also went to another world and spent more than a year filming it again, and made some minor revisions based on some criticisms and suggestions from the critics of the other world, so the current script is considered the most optimized version.

"The structure of the story is like this. If Director Chen has any questions, he can give advice at any time."

After finishing the script, Jiang Yan signaled to Chen Kexin.

Of course, Chen Kexin has nothing to mention. The current script has almost no flaws for a commercial film. The rest is how he directs and how the actors perform it, so the two soon began to discuss casting.

Jiang Yan didn't talk nonsense, and let Yan Danchen come in directly.

"This is Director Chen Kexin, Director Chen, and this is our heroine, Yan Danchen."

Chen Kexin didn't put on airs, and greeted Yan Danchen with a smile: "Ms. Yan, hello, I've seen your play, and your performance as Ren Yingying is great."

"Thank you for the director's compliment. I don't have much experience, and I hope the director can teach me more."

"Don't dare to teach, discuss with each other."

Chen Kexin has been in the Hong Kong circle for so many years, so she naturally knows what this situation means.

The pretty girl in front of her is directly positioned as the heroine, which shows that she has something to do with Jiang Yan.

But he also knew that regardless of the relationship between her and Jiang Yan, it was just one word: don't move.

Otherwise, we wouldn't meet in this office, but in a private room of a nightclub or something like that.

In fact, even if it is a movable one, Chen Kexin will not mess around. Apart from the question of life opportunities mentioned earlier, there is also a safety issue.

After all, this is in the Mainland, not Xiangjiang.

To some extent, although Xiangjiang's underground is chaotic and unspoken rules prevail, compared with the less familiar mainland, because of lack of understanding + inherent impression, the senses will definitely be much better.

So before Chen Kexin came here, she set many codes of conduct for herself.

Don't touch women, even if you can, don't touch money, even if you have the opportunity, you must do everything on the bright side, even if it's a little troublesome.

After a brief acquaintance, Jiang Yan and Chen Kexin confessed: "I have already decided on a small supporting role for the heroine, and I will trouble Director Chen for the other roles. Let's discuss more at that time."

As a director, Jiang Yan naturally has to give him certain rights, but Jiang Yan still has the final say on who to choose.

Chen Kexin naturally understood, and even expressed his gratitude. Although he was like a puppet in this way, it was actually much better than some companies in Xiangjiang. If he was annoyed, he could really shoot.

And what made him grateful was not only for this, in the following salary negotiations, Jiang Yan was also very generous, without lowering the price, Chen Kexin gave as much as he reported, and even gave a certain amount of bonus incentives, although not much, and wanted to It is not easy to trigger the conditions for dividends, but Chen Kexin also understands that this is Jiang Yan's movie after all, the starting point is high, and if someone can give it, it means that Jiang Yan has full respect for him, or director Xiangjiang. It's kindness, so he naturally knows what to do.

"Then let's do this first. Director Chen will rest first in the afternoon, and I will be the host in the evening. The casting will start tomorrow."

"No problem, Mr. Jiang."

. . . . . . .

When the matter is settled, "When a Man is in Love" will enter the countdown to start.

After Wu Yong filed the contract, he entered the office with Lao Fan who had just returned to Hengdian.

"You're back, you look good."

Jiang Yan smiled and poured tea for Lao Fan.

Lao Fan's whole body is black now, which makes the top of his head look thicker. Fortunately, Lao Fan doesn't have gray hair, otherwise it would be embarrassing.

"It's better in China, the Maldives is not bad, it's not bad, it's just like that after staying for a long time."

Lao Fan's face was indifferent, but he looked like Xiongba had finished eating the bone and then dismissed it. When he was hungry next time and threw him a bone, he would still frantically wag his tail .

"I saw Chen Kexin just now, is your movie about to start?"

"Yes, take advantage of this time to be free and finish filming some projects."

"That's right, you should make a good film."

Lao Fan took a sip of his tea, then raised his eyebrows: "Pure old Banzhang, he's not young yet, where did he get it?"

Jiang Yan didn't tell him that he was from another world, but he casually replied that it was Lao Xu who got it, and then added: I left five catties for you.

Lao Fan raised his eyebrows again and continued drinking tea.

After chatting about tea for a while, he started talking about business.

There are not many business matters, mainly about the issue of Star Cinemas.

After "My Sassy Girl", the domestic theater industry has ushered in a small explosion, and Star Cinema is also stepping up expansion. Currently, the money is still sufficient, but it will soon face a shortage of funds.

Lao Fan came here just to ask where the money came from.

In the past, Jiang Yan used small goals in terms of money, but now that the level is gradually increasing, and land prices are also starting to rise, the gap in the future is estimated to be huge, unless the Star Cinemas does not want to stabilize the top three positions in the country.

Jiang Yan also has a plan for this, the small target will still give money, but the loan still needs to be loaned.

The real estate industry across the country will enter a period of rapid development starting from this year and next, and land prices will continue to rise to an unbelievable level. At the same time, since the Star Cinemas has a certain scale at this time, the amount of loans that can be borrowed It is far more than before, so it is the most cost-effective to borrow money for expansion at this time.

According to the model of the Star Cinemas, in the future, even if they continue to lose money, they will be able to recoup their costs by selling land.

Of course, expansion cannot be done in a disorderly manner. The task of Star Cinemas is not to be the number one in terms of scale, but to remain in the top three in the country.

Because Star Cinemas also has the greatest core competitiveness that others do not have, and that is projection-related technologies.

And this is the second thing that Lao Fan will say next.

After "My Sassy Girlfriend", high-tech broadcasting technologies such as the giant screen of Star Cinemas have come into people's sight. At present, there are already many people looking for technology introduction and joining. Wait until December for "Hero" and "Fast and Furious 12 "After the blockbuster film that can really show the effect of the giant screen starts to play, this technology will once again amaze countless movie fans. If other theaters and producers are not jealous by then, they will really be blind.

Jiang Yan's attitude towards this is not to set the threshold too high.

The essence of technology is to serve the market. Only when it is fully popularized can it really make money.

And not only in China, the most important thing is to promote in Hollywood.

Hollywood movies and domestic movies are not at the same level at all, so if a big Hollywood director starts to use this technology, it will really be called the popularization of technology.

At the same time, there is also the issue of the right to make rules. In a sense, whoever has the largest market has the right to make rules.

The domestic sector currently has a big disadvantage in this aspect. In terms of the size of the film market, the domestic market is not even much bigger than South Korea, let alone compared with the world's number one Hollywood.

So one of Lao Fan's next tasks is to go to Laomei to set up a company, install new technology for Laomei Star Cinema, and prepare for Jiang Yan's next Hollywood movie using new technology, while also targeting Cameron. , Spielberg and other bigwigs are fully prepared for the popularization of new technologies.

Fortunately, this kind of technology is not particularly important, and the market potential is limited, so it doesn't matter if Jiang Yan makes a profit when necessary. How to operate it will be the main thing for Lao Fan.

Lao Fan naturally knew the pros and cons of the matter, but he still complained that Jiang Yan used him as a cow, and he owed him in his previous life.

Seeing this, Jiang Yan smiled and said:

"This time, "When a Man Is in Love" will give you a good deal. There are two father roles for you to enjoy, one with a sex scene and one with an ordinary one. It depends on how you choose."

Lao Fan's eyes shined brightly: "Of course it's the one with a sex scene!"

"That's it."

"what are you laughing at?"

"I'm not laughing, I'm envious of your tanning, but I can't, I can't be tanned anyway."

"Yeah, I don't know how your gene grew..."
