China Entertainment's My Artistic Career

Chapter 244
"Zhou Bei is thinking of herself. She has a boyfriend but is addicted to this relationship. Maybe one day, they will follow the path of Yao Yuan and his wife."

He Hua finally chose Yan Bingyan to play the role of Zhou Bei.

As for the other two male characters, he found Li Hongtao and Liao Fan.

Li Hongtao is also an old actor. He has been acting in movies since the 90s. His acting skills are certainly not to mention. More importantly, compared to the slender Ge You, he is more attractive in sportswear and can attract the attention of middle-aged and elderly women. Favored by him, He Hua felt relieved that he would play the role of Li Zhao.

Liao Fan plays the role of "director" Feng Xian. This actor is amazing. He looks like a rough and arrogant man on the outside, but he also has a literary and artistic atmosphere in his heart, which gives him a unique temperament.

In the movie, Feng Xian has a small role, but it is extremely important. Not only does he connect the entire plot, but he also fights with Zhou Beai in the process, fully demonstrating the diversity of love.

The main creative lineup has been decided, and all that remains is the preparation before shooting.

The set of this movie is very interesting. The modern part is relatively simple. You can shoot in an apartment or office building with a little decoration. If you want to save money, you can use it if you donate the office space of your own company; the scenes in "Good Dreams" are in the film and television city It's also quite convenient, after all, the plot itself is very inclusive of this.

For example, when Zhou Bei walked into the restaurant, a beam of light hit her.Where does the light come from? It’s not provided by the studio.

In addition, Yao Yuan would be speechless when he saw the steel structure on the roof of the hotel. However, when he wanted to integrate into this dream, he could not help but arrange it on behalf of the director:

"It should rain here."

Feng Xian was helpless backstage: "Give him some rain."

This kind of baggage and cold humor that makes people smile can be seen everywhere.

Zhou Shen and Liu Lu had an advantage in arranging this kind of scene. After all, they were from drama backgrounds and were very good at setting up this kind of scene, so He Hua gave them the power to operate it.

He Hua and the others were busy with the preliminary preparations, while Huang Lan took on the role of coordinator, talking about advertising, sponsorship and some peripheral development work.

"Good Dream Day Trip" is very easy to do. First of all, it is a modern drama, and there is a lot of room for implantation. Even in "Good Dream", some old domestic brands can be included, such as Arctic Soda, Pechoin, Yunyan, White Rabbit toffee, Tsingtao beer, etc.;
Secondly, the cast is so strong that Ge You’s name alone is worth thousands of gold;
The most important thing is that He Hua's "Defiant" sold 3 million yuan. We can also look forward to this movie.
So even though He Hua and Huang Lan have repeatedly raised the entry threshold, there are still a lot of brand owners who got wind of it.

He Hua: "You have to figure it out. Anyway, you said you wanted to go to the film festival!"

Huang Lan had no choice but to make careful screenings and only let some big brands enter.

Tsingtao Brewery, for example, is not short of money at all, so they directly spent 2000 million and required that all scenes where alcohol appears in the film must be their products.Although he was declined, he still spent 800 million and chose to appear in the "Sweet Dreams" scene.

Dell Computer offered 3000 million and asked for the same requirements as Tsingtao Beer. This was no problem. Huang Lan also took the initiative to ask the brand owner:

"Do you have a drawing board? We have such a scene."

"Yes, yes, I will send a few sets over immediately and let Director He see if they can work." The person in charge of Dell quickly ran to the side to make a phone call.

According to incomplete statistics, there are nearly 7000 million advertising placements, and the number of brands is not many, only 5.

He Hua also achieved this achievement: the movie was already profitable before it was even shot.

Liu Yifei would be lying if she said she wasn't envious after seeing her boyfriend project reach this point.

After all, it has already made a profit before filming, so the crew can go into battle lightly and strive to make the work better.

He Hua was helpless, how could this stupid girl in his family only think about the best, but why didn't you think about whether the advertising placement would affect the quality of the work, and whether the crew would be passive and slack in work and deal with errands?
"How was your project? Did it go well?"

It should be said that this project was the first project that Liu Yifei initiated independently, so she seemed very excited after being asked about it, and chatted with her boyfriend about her recent work results with great interest:

"I asked Jingjing and the others for help, and the first draft of the script has been released."

Jingjing should be Bao Jingjing, the screenwriter of "33 Days After Love". She has a pretty awesome girlfriend, so I use her connections.

"The demand for funds shouldn't be big. There aren't many scenes. We are still working on the budget. When the budget comes out, my mother will provide some, my godfather will provide some, and we will be left with one package."

"By the way, do you still need to leave a hole for distribution?"

He Hua replied: "Normally, you don't need it, but if you want to get an advantage in film arrangement, it's best to have it."

"Then me." Liu Yifei was a little hesitant, not knowing which company to find.

In fact, even if Liu Yifei didn't do it, several major publishers would give He Hua face and give him preferential treatment, but He Hua didn't say this out loud.

Since his girlfriend hasn't asked him for help for so long, it means that she wants to work hard to do something on her own, so what He Hua has to do now is to give her positive guidance instead of thinking about other things.

He Hua simply sat next to his girlfriend, picked up a pen and paper and told her about the advantages of each company:
"China Film." "Shanghai Film." "Wanda."

"Every company has its own advantages, it just depends on how you choose."

Liu Yifei nodded as if she had a sudden realization, but still held the paper He Hua described and kept reading.

"You will know when you have more contact with her in the future. Don't think about it now. How are you finding actors? Actors for this kind of youth film are the key." He Hua patted her on the head and changed the subject.

"We have decided on a small part, starring Wang Kai and Zhu Yilong, and Chen Xiao and I will guest star as a young couple."

Young couple?It can't be that love-minded school beauty and mama's boy, that would be so interesting!

After He Hua learned about this movie, he went out to find the original film. I have to say that the filming was really bloody.

There is also the last sentence of the movie: "Only those who are willing to commit suicide for you are true love." He was confused. This is all nonsense. There is something wrong with the director's brain.

And I feel that even though he is from a Chinese drama, he has not experienced as much as this group of people. Maybe it is because he is average-looking.

Only good-looking people have youth, others only have college.

He Hua asked his girlfriend curiously: "Have you ever experienced such a youth?"

Liu Yifei glared at him: "I was deceived by someone at the beginning of my youth. Now someone has the nerve to lick his face and ask this and that. I'm so embarrassed."

He Hua sneered, okay, his girlfriend has been with him since 21, so it's really inappropriate to ask this now.

In order to express his apology, he decided to hand over the public food tonight!

"囧囧" was completed at the end of September. After returning, Xu Zheng reported to He Hua.

He Hua looked through the materials he brought over and found them pretty good. Some parts were even better than the original works. It seemed that the money spent in Thailand these past few months had not been wasted.

"How long do you want for the later stage?"

"One and a half to two months," Xu Zheng replied.In the later stage of the film, the workload was mainly on the soundtrack and editing, and there were no other special effects. However, to be safe, he still signed up for a relatively relaxed time.

He Hua nodded, then opened the computer document and looked through the movie schedule for this year's Spring Festival.

Xu Zheng also came over.

Now it's October, which means it will be December when the production is completed. Add in the review time from the General Administration and the time for release to theaters, and it will still be January anyway.

So their focus was on 12-1-2, the movies released in these three months.

On December 12th, Zhang Yimou's "Thirteen Hairpins of Jinling" and Xu Ke's "Flying Swords of Dragon Gate", needless to say, are both strong rivals.

On January 1, "Reverse" directed by Lin Chaoxian, starring Xie Tingfeng and Mr. Zhou, and "Mission: Impossible 17" should not be underestimated.

The most eye-catching movies in February were "Journey to the Center of the Earth 2" and "I Do", the latter starring Li Bingbing + Duan Yihong + Sun Honglei.

He Hua stared at the screen and asked Xu Zheng's opinion without looking back:
"Which schedule do you think is appropriate?"

Xu Zheng thought for a while and said firmly: "One month is fine. As long as I avoid the fight with the first two dramas, I am confident in the following ones. "囧" will not disappoint you, Mr. He."

He Hua then turned to look at him and said with a smile: "Okay, let's set it on January 1th, and we'll get it together during the Lunar New Year and Spring Festival!"

"Work hard when you get back. Try to finish the film as soon as possible. Don't have problems in the middle. You must be steady at the end."

Xu Zheng nodded seriously: "Don't worry."

This year is the time for the No. 14 Huabiao Awards, which is different from the various farce of the Golden Rooster.

As an award directly organized by the State Administration of Radio, Film and Television, although the Huabiao Award lacks professionalism, it always represents the country's concern, support and encouragement for this industry, which is of great significance.

And it is only held once every two years, so every time this time, basically all big-name celebrities, artists, and film practitioners will put aside their work to participate in this grand event.

After all, if Shinichi was accidentally remembered by the General Administration, he would no longer have to work in this industry.

He Hua has participated in many projects this year. "Those Years" and "Orphan" were both nominated for outstanding feature films.

The company's "33 Days Out" was also shortlisted for this nomination. Youhua accounted for 20 out of a total of 3 nominations, which can be said to have stolen the limelight.

"Defiant" may have been rejected due to its subject matter or bloody scenes. This story has a natural disadvantage in mainstream award selections.

In addition, Zhang Guoli was nominated for Outstanding Actor for his wonderful performance in "The Orphan". He was competing with: Ge You "The Orphan of Zhao", Liu Zhibing "Flying Sky", and Li Xuejian "Yang Shanzhou".

It’s hard to tell who will win the award just from the outside. The acting skills of this group of people are all top-notch, so whoever wins the award will have a say. In terms of subject matter, "Flying" and "Yang Shanzhou" may be more popular with the jury, but I can’t say that they are not. Yes, "Lost Orphans" pays attention to the disadvantaged groups in society, and it also has advantages. In short, Zhang Guoli still has a chance.

What's interesting is that He Hua has gotten to this point and won the title of Outstanding Newcomer (Director), of course because of his first work.

But yes, he happened to be a director during the gap between the [-]th and [-]th term.

The person competing with him for this award was Zhang Meng, the director of "The Piano of Steel". He Hua suddenly felt that he had no hope.

Outside the Capital Exhibition Hall, the event venue is not small, but it can't hold the number of fans who come to chase stars and people who come to join in the fun and watch the fun.

The huge crowd of people had already blocked the traffic. If the organizer hadn't contacted the city in time, these celebrities would probably have been blocked outside today.

When He Hua and Liu Yifei got off the bus, they saw security guards standing inside the barrier. This was for fear that fans would get excited and rush the car.

As soon as He Hua and Liu Yifei appeared, there was a burst of cheers at the scene. The voices of "Liu Yifei" and "Fairy Sister" could not be heard. The media at the scene also turned their cameras in time.

Silently apologizing to the crew in front of him, He Hua, Liu Yifei, Chen Xiao, Hao Shaowen, Li Jiahang and others walked onto the red carpet.

"Let's welcome the cast of 'Those Years'"

Well, both He Hua and Liu Yifei have to go twice.

In addition to these works that have been released, there are many people who take this opportunity to promote, such as the crew of "The Legend of Hongmen Banquet" that Hua Na will hear, and the crew of the more controversial "The Legend of White Snake".

The General Administration probably doesn't care about being taken advantage of, and the host will take the initiative to help introduce it.

"Director He, this should be your first time appearing at our Huabiao Awards. How do you feel now?"

"I feel very honored to be able to participate in such a biennial event, and I am also looking forward to the following ceremony. Even before entering the venue, the atmosphere on site has already made me feel excited."

The kind words were free of charge, and the praise was from the General Administration. Of course, He Hua was all smiles.

The host then asked: "What are you looking forward to today? I see that Director He's works have been nominated a lot."

He Hua clenched his fist: "I hope I can win the prize!"

The host and his girlfriend next to him were both happy: "Okay, I hope Director He can get what he wants today."

Entering the infield, He Hua saw familiar faces, Kai Ge, Chen Hong, Xiaogang Xu Fan, Gu Changwei, Jiang Wenli, and even Director Yimou was followed by Zhou Dongyu. Well, they had nothing to do with each other.

He Hua and Liu Yifei greeted them with a smile, walked over to say a few words, and then sat down in their seats.

As soon as I sat down, my buttocks were not yet warm, so I turned around and saw the person coming and stood up quickly:

"Mr. Li, hello!"

"Hello, hello," Li Xuejian's voice was a little vague, but he seemed to be in good spirits.

His seat was in front of He Hua. After he sat down, He Hua went over and chatted with him for a few more words. The old man was just like Ge You, kind, humble and low-key, and that was how he described them.

Liu Yifei was pulled over by Jiang Wenli and said:
"I have a niece who performs well. Yifei will come with me to see her some other day. If possible, I will ask Director He to help guide her."

Liu Yifei rarely has direct contact with this circle. She usually does it for her mother or agent. Now her lack of experience is exposed. She smiled and answered "Okay". Jiang Wenli was happy now and took her everywhere to meet new people. friend.

You said you went to see other people's performances, you can't say bad. The next logical step is to communicate roles and exchange resources.

This silly girl.
