my gilded age

Chapter 285 The wind is roaring, the donkey kicks the head, and the Lunar New Year war is coming again

"It's been a while, and I still miss my school life."

"I'm not very good at talking, and it's difficult to communicate with many people, but luckily, you know, I was assigned when I came out, and I was able to make a living."

"At first, Lao Feng told me about acting in this drama, but I didn't hear that you were coming. Later, when I heard about it, I thought, since you are already the best actor, it would be a bit awkward for me, a junior brother, to be compared to you. You're a coward? I've put all my efforts into it, so... don't be offended, brother, now that I see it, I'm really awesome, I admire you, I admire you."

When Zhang Hanyu revealed his identity, Bai Shiqiu was really shocked. After all, he didn't expect how many apprentices his teacher had called, and he could meet him wherever he went.

It seems... there is Zhang Zhiyi between Zhang Hanyu and Bai Shiqiu.

This relationship is really complicated, which makes Bai Shiqiu very emotional. However, when I hear that Senior Brother Zhang admires me so much, this is not okay.

"Oh, Senior Brother, you don't know, I was actually inspired by your acting skills just now, Senior Brother, it's really like this."

"Oh, junior brother, you are too polite, haha..."

Zhang Hanyu didn't believe it, but that's it, the relationship between the two of them got better.

That's right, they are brothers in the first place, and their acting skills are so matched, they really shine for a while, so why not discuss it carefully?

It's really a beautiful thing to compare each other's acting skills.

Naturally, he did not let go of the matter between Bai Shiqiu and Zhang Zhiyi. Bai Shiqiu had no choice but to say that he didn't understand that the senior sister just didn't like him.

After talking a lot, the two seemed like old friends who hadn't seen each other for many years.

There's really nothing much to say about being able to do this in filming. However, Bai Shiqiu didn't expect that there would be a classmate of Chinese drama waiting for him.

"Brother Bai, is it because of you that I can come to film this movie?"

"Ah? What's my reason? There's nothing wrong with me."

Cao Wenwen, this girl is from the junior college class in 02. It's not bad to call Bai Shiqiu her senior brother, but what she said made Bai Shiqiu a little bit overwhelmed.

To be honest, we should try to do as little as possible in the future about bringing capital into the group. I am an honest person to begin with.

"You still say no!" Cao Wenwen was not happy, "For such a big production, I still know how much I weigh. Although I don't seem to have many roles now, if it weren't for you, how could I get in? "

"This..." Bai Shiqiu was very embarrassed, because of him?

This junior sister won't like herself, right?

Fortunately, Bai Shiqiu's fantasy didn't last long. Cao Wenwen said, "It must be that Young Master Ming, right?"

"Ah? This..." Bai Shiqiu was so embarrassed, like a thief who was caught robbing a little girl's lollipop.

"Senior brother, please tell him this matter, don't waste your time on me, just think of me as thanking you, senior brother."

"Well, well, I actually..."

"It doesn't matter. If he wants to talk about money, let him come to me."

"Junior sister, I guess he's not short of money either."

"Well, let's not say more..."

Cao Wenwen just left like this, Bai Shiqiu said to his heart, Mr. Ming, Mr. Ming, you really have a bumpy road in love.

However, when I thought about it, I realized that the thoughts of those rich second generations were different from those of ordinary people. Maybe Mr. Ming had changed his goals and changed his temper in a few days, and he might have forgotten about his junior sister.

The scene we filmed was really interesting...

"Assembly" had to be filmed for a whole winter, but as time went by, many things happened.

The Golden Eagle Festival and the Golden Rooster and Hundred Flowers Film Festival are two festivals that come one after another. One is for TV series and the other is for movies. We, the Red Star Film and Television people, can go wherever we can, show our faces, and make our presence known. The feeling is also good. As for winning the award, it’s not a coincidence.

Last year's dark horse "Bright Sword" was very good in terms of awards. Although Red Star also has high-grossing dramas, it is still not close to winning awards, and the movie is even less likely to win, because it is only two years ago. Judging from the scope, some voting methods still use writing letters, which is indeed a bit old-fashioned.

The main thing is to show off, especially the red star actresses, who are really competing for their beauty, and even in terms of aura, they are not inferior to Huayi's double ice combination.

At the moment, Shuang Bing is obviously a head taller than Li Bingbing, while Fan Bingbing is still in the process of self-defeating and leveling up.

As for Bai Shiqiu, he is really busy in filming.

It's okay, everyone is relatively young and there will be opportunities in the future, so this is nothing.

The festival has passed, and then comes the Lunar New Year stalls. This year’s Lunar New Year stalls are really packed with blockbusters and stand out.

This sounds a little weird, but it is still true.

The gathering of blockbusters means that there are really many blockbusters, many big directors and big stars have come, but one stands out, and that is "The Golden Armor". This film is so outstanding that almost no one dares to do so in its schedule. To shake.

Except for this one, many of them can actually be considered blockbusters. In Hong Kong, Liu Weiqiang came to the gold rush with "Shangcheng", which included Chao Wei, Cheng Wu, Shu Qi and Jinglei.

On the Hollywood side, there are Edward Norton in "The Veil" and "Dance of My Life".

There is also a movie that wants to create miracles, "Big Movie: Billions". This is a very challenging movie. The director is Forrest Gump. The movies he makes are always eccentric. In addition, big movies Zui Yao and Huang Bo are also among them.

The rest, which is interesting, are two Republic of China movies, one is called "The Case of Magic City" and the other is called "Heaven's Mouth".

Moreover, the most interesting thing is that judging from the currently announced schedules, these two movies happen to be put together.

This thing is really intriguing. On the surface it seems to be a coincidence, in order to avoid "The Golden Armor", but in fact, this is definitely intentional.

Beijing, Huayi Company.

Wang Zhongjun held a glass of red wine and said, "Brother, is Director Wu such a bad temper?"

His younger brother Wang Zhonglei was also there, and he was smoking a cigar. "Yes, brother, he is so stubborn. It could have been a few days later, but he insisted on arguing with that strange case."

"Hahaha... It's interesting, but you think "Heaven's Mouth" should win, right?" "Brother, to be honest, I don't know what the mystery is."

Of course, what the Wang brothers are talking about now is the Lunar New Year period. They were really frustrated before. "The Night Banquet" was originally scheduled to be in the Lunar New Year period, but it ended up being the National Day holiday. But in this case, what about the Lunar New Year period? Here, you have to give some face.

"Heaven's Mouth", a high-profile blockbuster, was placed on the last day of 06.

It's not bad to say that it will be released on a large scale on this day, because the next day is New Year's Day, and the schedule is also quite good.

But soon, news came that Red Star Film and Television's "The Strange Case of the Magic City" was also put on the last day.

It seems to be a coincidence. After all, everyone is avoiding "The Golden Jacket". This movie will be released on December 12th. According to the box office of our country, the popularity of such a blockbuster will decrease after two weeks, and there will be too many piracy.

Therefore, the last day is a good choice, at least better than those cannon fodder, such as "Scarred City", which is almost at the same time as "Golden Armor".

This is face.

But the red star is also here, so what should we do?
The two brothers thought of a good idea.

"Third Master should not interfere this time. With our Huayi's strength and reputation, we might as well strangle their Red Star's strange case."

"Yes, I understand what brother is thinking and have already started to do it. However, Red Star also has a reputation now. We may not necessarily gain an absolute advantage in filming."

The two Wang brothers have a heart-to-heart talk, and they are going to start arranging movies for theaters.

No matter whether the movie is good or bad, you still have to go to the theater to meet movie fans. If there is no movie in the theater, then you won’t be able to see it. Therefore, the real key to victory or defeat lies in this. Whoever has more movies scheduled will almost always win. You can definitely win.

It's not that I haven't thought of such a method before, but I just can't use it. The third master has already said that "Zhou Daxian" is okay, how can this be done, and in addition, they led Red Star to challenge "The Promise" in the Lunar New Year stalls. This is a A clever move.I just didn't expect that "The Promise" would be so bad, and so fast.

Now, the opportunity has come, and the Wang brothers have seen the most critical place.

In terms of cost, "The Strange Case of Magic City" is probably the most expensive film of Red Star Films so far. The most obvious sign is that Gong Li is in the cast.

What kind of existence is Gong Li?

To put it bluntly, Hua Yi can't afford it. Of course, there is a plan now to invite Gong Li to star in a movie. The most interesting thing is that this movie is also a spy movie. The initial plan is to call it "The Spy". Sea Wind and Cloud".

Not to mention anything else, the Red Star must have spent a lot of money on just Gong Li, at least tens of millions of dollars in salary.

Of course, the Wang brothers would never guess the payment method for this film...

However, it is obvious that this is a big production. If we can defeat this movie in one fell swoop and make the Red Star box office hit the market, then we, Huayi, will win!

As for Wu Yusen, this guy is full of anger anyway, and he scolded the two brothers before, so it would be better now, let Wu Yusen and Bai Shiqiu get along.

The key is, from the theater perspective, Wu Yusen’s name is on the list, and there are a bunch of big stars, mostly from Hong Kong and Taiwan. So, in terms of arranging films, it will of course be easier to schedule more films.

The plan was made, and both of them were very happy. It goes without saying that the next operation will work, but there are other things at the moment.

"Tell me, why did Lao Feng insist on filming "Assembly"?"

"Brother, who knows, but Lao Feng is pretty good. He has helped us make films for so many years. This time he wants to realize his own ideal. We should pay 3000 million."

"But that's a war movie. In our country's war movies, apart from the above-mentioned ones, who in the private sector has ever made money?"

"Brother is right. I really wanted to say this to Lao Feng back then. Unfortunately, this guy is a stubborn donkey and just won't listen. As for the 3000 million, it doesn't matter. At worst, we will just send him away."

"Then Bai Shiqiu is also interesting, let's dig in too..."

"Hahaha..." Having said this, Wang Zhonglei put out his cigar and changed to a glass of red wine, "Brother, I came up with an idea. Even if we don't solve the strange case during the Lunar New Year this time, then we will still have a chance. Fuck him Bai Shiqiu, this guy promised to bring money into the group..."

When Wang Zhongjun heard this, he stopped drinking and laughed, "Hahaha... Yes! Yes! We will definitely get rid of this kid's problems..."

The more the two brothers talked, the happier they became, as if they were already winners.

Not long after, just as the two brothers wished, the film schedules of "Heaven's Mouth" and "Magic City" have been decided, one with 33%, and the other with 7%.

If you include the film schedule of "The Golden Jacket", then there is almost no way for other films of the same period to survive.

But the key point is that "Heaven's Mouth" has been scheduled too much. It seems that this New Year war has not even started yet, which is very unfair.

However, Bai Shiqiu has no idea about these things. He is currently focusing on filming "Assembly".At this time, he was experiencing the cold with a group of brothers in the wild fields of the icy and snowy Northeast.

Ow!Ow!Ow!
The north wind, carrying something like small ice particles, kept blowing on me.

"Fuck, fuck, fuck..." The most uncomfortable one was Deng Chao. This guy was wearing a single suit, biting his lip, and jumping up and down.

"Brother Chao, hold on." Bai Shiqiu was also beside him, and he was clenching his teeth at this time.

Even if you are from the Northeast, you still have to dress like a blind bear in this kind of weather, okay?
But not only the two of them, but also Baoqiang, Zhang Hanyu, Brother Jie, and...

"Ahhhh~" Baoqiang screamed in ecstasy.

"I can't do it anymore! I can't do it anymore!" Brother Jie was about to shrink.

What is this doing?
When the old farmer not far away saw it, he laughed and said: "What happened? Got kicked in the head by a donkey? Hahaha... what a bunch of stupid boys!"

This is really not about being kicked by a donkey, but about preparing for filming.

Feng Xiaogang requested that our scene be shot in the cold. What if the characters are not cold enough and the audience can see it?

Ever since, many of this group of people belong to Spike, so let's experience the cold.

Ow!Ow!Ow!
I can’t tell whether it’s a human shouting or the wind roaring…

　thanks for your support!Thank you!
　　Today is public memorial day, don’t forget the national humiliation.
