China Entertainment started from Nortel 96

Chapter 341 "Xiao Li Flying Knife" is finished, and the rewards should be given

The time came to May 3th before we knew it.

The crew of "Xiao Li Flying Knife" in Hengdian.

"It's finished!"

As the recorder shouted loudly, everyone on the scene breathed a sigh of relief, followed by cheers and applause like a mountain roar and tsunami.

Some people gave flowers to leading actors such as Qi Wei and Jiang Qinqin, while others celebrated with fireworks.

"Little Li's Flying Knife" and "My Sassy Girl" were shot at almost the same time.

It took more than 9 months from the start of filming in September last year to the completion in March.

"Meteor Garden" only took two months to shoot.

The filming of a period martial arts drama like "Little Li Flying Knife" is much more complicated than the filming of an idol drama like "Meteor Garden". The 40 episodes are twice as many as "Meteor Garden", so it is normal that it takes a long time.

Of course, another reason is that the male lead Qi Wei joined the cast late and asked for leave at every turn.

I went to Canada and the United States for more than three weeks, and took nearly two weeks off for Spring Festival Gala rehearsals and Spring Festival commercial performances.

And when "Meteor Garden" was aired, I went back to Beijing to promote it for another week.

I have been on the set for nearly five months, and I have been on leave for almost two months.

Of course, Qi Wei originally gave "Xiao Li Fei Dao" a three-month schedule, which was actually not a lot of time.

The crew had to pay for Qi Wei's request for leave, which cost more energy and time during filming.

Of course, Qi Wei did not treat them badly, extending the shooting cycle and giving them more compensation accordingly.

A considerable part of the team behind "Little Li's Flying Knife" came from Hong Kong. After the decline of Hong Kong films, many people lost their jobs. As long as they can be paid enough to stay on the crew longer, they are happy.

So they had no complaints and were even happy.

Because it was finished now, Qi Wei also sent them red envelopes.

After a staff member put off the celebration fireworks, he saw Qi Wei, who was covered in fireworks, walking towards him with a smile.

"Thank you, Boss Qi!"

After receiving the red envelope from Qi Wei, the man opened the red envelope excitedly.

2000 yuan!It was more than his monthly salary, and he couldn't help but smile happily.

Of course, he is not the only one who is happy now.

Everyone at the scene received red envelopes from Qi Wei.

Depending on the number of positions, there were nearly a hundred people on site when the deal was finalized, and Qi Wei handed out more than 50 in red envelopes.

One is to reward everyone for their hard work during this period, and at the same time to pay for hush money.

After all, during the filming period, Qi Wei and Jiang Qinqin were still playing very crazy, and it was impossible for no one to notice.

"Thank you."

After receiving Qi Wei's red envelope, Jiang Qinqin did not open it. She put it in her hand and looked at Qi Wei tenderly.

She asked softly: "Do we look like a newlywed couple?"

As the heroine of "Little Li Fei Dao", Jiang Qinqin was also showered with fireworks.

Qi Wei smiled at her and said, "It looks better in a red dress."

"Yeah, it's still a little bit worse after all." She sighed, as if she was making a pun.

"Actually, if you want, we can give it a try tonight."

After all, there is a scene in "Little Li Flying Knife" where Long Xiaoyun and Lin Shiyin get married, and the crew had ready-made ancient red wedding dresses.

Jiang Qinqin also understood what Qi Wei meant, smiled at Qi Wei and said, "Well, I also want Li Xunhuan and Lin Shiyin to have a happy ending, and the lovers will eventually get married."

My senior sister Jiang is still so wise.

On the set of "Little Li's Flying Knife", if it weren't for Jiang Qinqin's help, I wouldn't have been so happy.

This should be well rewarded.

Not just physical rewards.

Qi Wei asked: "Sister Jiang, now that the filming is over, what are your plans next?"

"What are your plans?" Jiang Qinqin shook her head helplessly, "In order to make this movie with you, I turned down a lot of film appointments, and now I don't have any other film appointments, so I may need to take a break."

Qiong Yao had previously recommended Jiang Qinqin to audition for a TV series called "Love in the River", but Jiang Qinqin eventually turned it down because of a conflict with the filming schedule of "Little Li's Flying Knife".

It is impossible not to regret that "Qinghe Love" was not produced. Of course, Jiang Qinqin also knew in her heart that if she could film with Qi Wei and stay with Qi Wei for a while, she would get more from Qi Wei.

Jiang Qinqin's approach was also very smart. She never took the initiative to ask Qi Wei for anything, but always tried her best to please Qi Wei.

When Qi Wei is happy, he will give himself more rewards, just like now.

She heard Qi Wei say in a regretful tone: "Sister Jiang, your acting skills are so great, isn't it a pity to take a break?"

"It wouldn't be a pity if you could stay with me during the break." She said to Qi Wei with a smile.

"Sister, I'm very busy and can't stay with you all the time."

Busy, indeed very busy, after all you have so many women to accompany you.

Jiang Qinqin saw through it without saying anything, and said regretfully: "That's really a pity. We have to cherish tonight, and I don't know when we can meet next time."

Qi Wei asked: "Sister Jiang, do you still want to film? If you want, I can help you arrange it."

"Arrangements? How do you arrange for me?" Jiang Qinqin asked with a smile.

"It depends on you. Our company will shoot several TV series this year, whether it's a costume drama or a popular idol drama. Whatever you want to shoot, I can arrange it."

"What if I want to make a movie?" Jiang Qinqin asked tentatively.

In the minds of actors, movies are always more advanced than TV series. Actors who are a little ambitious will definitely not make TV series if they can make movies.

For example, Yanzi, a classmate in Qi Wei's class who became famous with "Huan Zhuge Ge", has been looking for opportunities to make movies.

Jiang Qinqin also wants to make a movie.

This is understandable.

But Qi Wei shook his head and replied: "Sister Jiang, I am dissatisfied with your statement that the film market is sluggish now and my film company will not invest in and produce another film this year."

The reason is not only that, it is mainly to cooperate with Han Sanxing to carry out film market reforms.

"That's it." Jiang Qinqin looked disappointed.

But then I heard Qi Wei say: "Sister Jiang, if you are willing to wait, our company will invest in and produce many movies next year, and we can make arrangements for you then."

Hearing this, Jiang Qinqin's face suddenly showed joy. She looked at Qi Wei and said affectionately: "I am willing to wait. Whether it is waiting for a play or waiting for someone, I will keep waiting."

Jiang Qinqin is really taking the initiative now, both in actions and words.

Qi Wei smiled at her and asked, "You haven't answered me yet, do you want to shoot a costume drama or an idol drama?" Young actors at this time still liked to shoot costume dramas.

First, the investment in costume dramas is relatively high, and the scale is generally relatively large, so they are not willing to pay remuneration.

More importantly, the market for costume dramas is huge at this time, and audiences like to watch them with a wide audience, which means it is easier to become famous.

But things were a little different after "Meteor Garden" became a big hit.

Because everyone discovered that romantic idol dramas like "Meteor Garden" can be so entertaining.

Moreover, idol dramas have an advantage over costume dramas. Since they are modern dramas, people who make idol dramas popular are more likely to be favored by businesses.

Just like Gao Yuanyuan, after the popularity of "Meteor Garden", there was an endless stream of businesses approaching her to endorse her.

Qi Wei's personal clothing brand also took advantage of the situation and signed her up, offering her an incremental endorsement contract of 100 million yuan a year.

This endorsement contract is by no means low, especially as few celebrities in the mainland can reach it. It even caused quite a stir when it was announced in a high-profile manner a few days ago.

You must know that Jiang Qinqin is currently working hard to film several movies a year, but it is difficult to earn 100 million, which makes her envious.

Although Jiang Qinqin knew that Gao Yuanyuan was Qi Wei's woman, this was partly the reason why Qi Wei's personal clothing brand offered Gao Yuanyuan such a high endorsement contract.

But things have to be justified. If you don't become popular, Qi Wei won't be able to give you such an endorsement contract.

Therefore, Jiang Qinqin also hopes that Qi Wei can arrange an idol drama for her to make herself famous.

"I will follow your arrangements. I will film whatever you ask me to do." Although Jiang Qinqin would rather film an idol drama, she said this.

"In this case, I still prefer your ancient costumes, Sister Jiang. Your costumes are really beautiful." Qi Wei complimented with a smile.

"If that's the case, then I'll shoot costumes."

Qi Wei thought of Jiang Qinqin's classic costume roles in later generations, and he suddenly asked: "Sister Jiang, what do you think of "The Wind and Cloud"?"

""Wind and Cloud"?" Jiang Qinqin quickly reacted, "Are you not talking about the best-selling comic in Hong Kong City?"

"Yeah." Qi Wei smiled and nodded.

"You didn't get the film and television adaptation rights for "The Storm", did you?" Jiang Qinqin asked doubtfully.

"Don't worry, sister, I will definitely help you get it." Qi Wei replied confidently.

You must know that the movie version of "The Storm" was invested by Golden Harvest, and the film and television adaptation rights of "The Storm" currently belong to Golden Harvest.

Since Jiahe's boss Zou wants to meet with him to attract investment, it will be easy for him to use the film and television adaptation rights of "The Wind and Cloud" as a bargaining chip.

"Wind and Cloud" is a best-selling comic in Hong Kong City. It was adapted into a movie and even won the annual box office championship in Hong Kong City that year.

If it is adapted into a TV series, it will definitely attract much attention.

This made Jiang Qinqin a little excited, and she replied softly: "Well, I listen to you."

However, the preparation time for a martial arts drama like "The Wind and Cloud" is relatively long, and the official filming is not expected to start until the second half of the year.

And it's not April yet, so the window period in these few months is still relatively long.

Since you want to reward, you have to reward well. Qi Wei also saw that Jiang Qinqin wanted to make an idol drama.

So Qi Wei said to Jiang Qinqin: "Sister Jiang, our company has prepared several idol dramas in the past few months. I think you are quite suitable. When the time comes, I will send you the script. You can audition for any role you like."

"Then thank you, Junior Brother."

Although Jiang Qinqin was trying hard to suppress her inner excitement, she could still see some joy on her face.

Jiang Qinqin suddenly thought of something and asked, "Junior brother, will you film these dramas?"

Qi Wei shook his head and said, "Probably not."

"That's a shame. I really enjoyed filming with you. I want to film with you and witness more surprises with you."

This is tempting yourself.

Qi Wei couldn't help but laugh, "Sister Jiang, don't worry, there will definitely be a chance in the future."

"Bitch couple!" Seeing Qi Wei and Jiang Qinqin chatting so happily, Yu Feihong couldn't help but cursed in his heart.

But Qi Wei, who had finished chatting with Jiang Qinqin, walked towards her with a smile.

"Sister Yu, haven't you always wanted to make "Love Has an Afterlife"? Have you finished the movie plan?"

Qi Wei asked, pointing directly at Yu Feihong's weakness.

Yu Feihong couldn't get angry at all, put away his temper, took out a stack of documents from his bag and handed it to Qi Wei.

"This is the movie planning book I made, take a look."

After Qi Wei took it, he didn't read it and asked, "How much investment does your play require?"

"Ten million, probably." Yu Feihong estimated and said, always paying attention to the changes in Qi Wei's expression.

The script of "Love Is Afterlife" is not complicated. If it is handed over to a capable director, it will definitely be successful for 1000 million.

The reason why "Love Is Afterlife" took several years to shoot and cost more than 4000 million was not only because of rising prices, but also because Yu Feihong was not a professional director and it was his first time directing.

If we could find a better producer and supervisor like Leslie Cheung, the situation should be much better.

Of course, if it was like later generations, it would not be a big deal to Qi Wei. The more she loses, the more she owes herself.

Qi Wei nodded and said to Feihong: "Now you can start making preparations. I will help you with the investment."

Yu Feihong's calm and calm face finally changed a little, but a trace of doubt appeared in her heart.

Why is he so willing to agree to something that he has been pushing back on before? Is it possible that he is tired of himself?Want to kill yourself casually?

I don't agree to this.

Yu Feihong did not express his gratitude verbally, but took out a banknote from his wallet and stuffed it into Qi Wei's pocket when no one was paying attention.

"Don't forget your responsibilities, Cowherd, I need your service tonight." She whispered in Qi Wei's ear.

"Uh" Qi Wei did not take out the banknotes, but said sheepishly: "But I just promised Senior Sister Jiang."

Sure enough, it was the same as what I thought!
Jiang Qinqin is young and proactive, and is willing to put in effort to please you, so she really deserves your favor.

But Yu Feihong was unconvinced.

How can it be possible for you to get what you want?

Yu Feihong snorted coldly and said: "It's not like she and I have never been together. At worst, I paid her what she paid you. You serve us tonight."

As she spoke, she took out a few more bills from her pocket and stuffed them into Qi Wei's pocket.

Finally, she added, "If you can bear it, I can add a few more and call Jia Jingwen and Fan Xiaopang."

Speaking of Fan Xiaopang, at the moment she was chatting with her classmate from Nortel Class 99, Yang Yue, who also played Lin Xian'er in "Little Li's Flying Knife".

"Don't let "Meteor Garden" become too popular now. It was broadcast in Hong Kong City a few days ago and caused a sensation there. I heard that the copyright of this drama has been sold to Southeast Asia and it will be broadcast there soon. .
I heard that his company will prepare a similar love idol drama next. If you want to become popular, you have to find ways to obtain resources."

Fan Xiaopang kept tempting.
