Halo of cheating in the entertainment industry

Su Li contacted Xu Zheng through Zhang Wu. In "Nightclub Supermarket", Li Junwei, who should be played by Su Li, is not so much the leading actor, but Xu Zheng. Xu Zheng's comedy talent is enough to make people laugh.

Xu Zheng was naturally hesitant at the beginning - Su Li, an inexperienced investor, and the name of the film studio he was about to establish, which he had never heard of, were enough to make him suspicious.Therefore, Xu Zheng said to Su Li on the other end of the phone very seriously: "Su Li, I know that you are the hottest star among post-85 stars, and I also know your current popularity, but I want to ask you, your film Is the movie just for entertainment?"

Su Li shook his head resolutely and said: "Of course I'm not just playing for tickets. I also have my own love for movies. I think you should also know that I was the screenwriter for "Eavesdropping" and "Seven Pounds" which is currently being filmed in the United States. Yes, the current "Nightclub Supermarket" does not have much investment, but I can say that it is a very sincere comedy..."

Xu Zheng thought about it carefully on the other end of the phone, and thought of the popular "Crazy Stone" that he had finished filming not long ago, he felt more confident for a while, and said, "Show me the script, I'll read it." Let's make a decision, okay?"

Su Li agreed, and then sent the electronic version of the script to Xu Zheng.

When Xu Zheng received Su Li's script, he still didn't believe it. After all, Su Li was too young, and his main reputation was on the record.Although there is a "Eavesdropping Fengyun" as a base, but Eavesdropping Fengyun is a real drama.

Xu Zheng suspiciously opened the script on the computer and began to browse the information on it.

When he saw the first page of the script, he also had the same feeling as Yang Mi: the layout is quite professional, and the dialogue and scene description are just right.But what attracted him the most was obviously not these, but the funny plot inside.

"It's really a very sincere comedy..." The smile on Xu Zheng's face became more and more intense. In recent years, some comedies that pretend to be crazy and foolish have gradually begun to be confused in the movie market. A hilarious comedy made out of bad jokes—unfortunately, they underestimated the IQ of the audience.As for a smart movie like "Nightclub Supermarket", the jokes are not artificial at all. With the development of the plot, those jokes are also natural, not disgusting and artificial.

Before he knew it, Xu Zheng sat in front of the computer for several hours and finished reading all the scripts. While rubbing his eyes, his wife Tao Hong came in and asked him what he was watching.

"I'm reading my new script..." Xu Zheng said with a smile.

He has already decided to act in this movie. Whether it is from the quiet plot or the hilarious jokes, he likes it very much, especially the character He Sanshui in the play. He knows that he likes this character very much.

Therefore, Xu Zheng quickly called to agree to the errand, and Su Li was also very happy to hear that Xu Zheng agreed. In this way, the male and female starring roles were basically confirmed.

Not long after, Yang Mi also called and told Su Li that she agreed to participate in the performance - this was what Su Li expected, and Yang Mi's current schedule was naturally not full enough to waste time on filming.For her, if a movie is popular, it is good, if it is not popular, it will not have much impact, at most it is just a loss of time, and there is still a paycheck.

Of course, the most important thing is the script, Su Li believed that it was his own script that moved her.

It’s just that he still has a little bit of slander in his heart-if only Yang Mi in 11 would be fine, he would be able to raise a super bad movie to more than 9000 million at the box office...Of course, if it was Yang Mi’s salary in that era, it would be fine. Not something he can afford.

All three leading actors have been confirmed - Xu Zheng will play He Sanshui, Su Li will play Li Junwei, and Yang Mi will play Tang Xiaolian.Next came the other supporting roles in the script. Zhao Yingjun readily agreed to take the role of Zhu Liao, especially after reading the script, he couldn't put it down.

Zhang Jiayi is very interested in Su Li's proposal, not to mention that he is only a guest star in this movie - he plays a robber who speaks a dialect in this movie, and he is full of jokes. Seeing this kind of role, he also said It was fun, and I quickly agreed.

Then there was the issue of the director. Su Li knew that his lack of experience would probably make the film a bad one, so he gave up his idea of ​​directing. He wanted to find someone with rich experience to direct. .

It is best for the director to be experienced but not well-known. Such a person is not easy to find. If you look for Yang Qing, the original director of "Nightclub", that person should and does not have much accumulation now.

Su Li quickly thought of his co-director Lu Zhongfei when he was filming the MV. This person's shooting skills are undeniable. He has been an assistant director and scene reporter for so many years, and he has quite a lot of experience. He has no experience in shooting movies as a director now. Opportunity, the reason is only his lack of qualifications.

Lu Zhongfei was also a little shocked when he heard that Su Li was going to make a movie. This kid always surprised him.A few days ago, Lu Zhongfei heard that the screenwriter of "Eavesdropping" was Su Li, and there was one of his characters. That kind of person is attracted to Su Li's script, so it is conceivable that he also has real talents.

Of course, he also agreed to Su Li's invitation to be the director. He has been looking forward to such an opportunity for a long time, but Su Li also said something, that is, he can't spend money to hire too many directors for this movie. Su Li and Lu Zhongfei will be responsible for most of the work. Although Su Li himself did not say that he is anything but an actor, in fact, Su Li will definitely be in charge of the starring role. , producer, and assistant director.

It was not easy for Su Li. Fortunately, he also had some experience during the filming of "Eavesdropping", so he would not mess things up.

Next is the long preparation period. First of all, there is the issue of funds. In terms of salary, the salary of Yang Mi and Xu Zheng is 25 yuan each. This salary is not high but not low.Several other actors, plus the surrounding extras, have a salary of more than 20 yuan, not to mention director Lu Zhongfei's salary... Su Li needs to pay no less than 90 yuan...

But this is also something that can’t be helped. A lot of money in a movie has to be spent on star remuneration.

Next is the shooting location. They need to rent a supermarket for at least two weeks or even a month to shoot, which requires about [-] yuan of funds.

There are also various equipment-renting cameras, buying film, purchasing props, etc... After preliminary planning, it will cost at least 130 million when the film is finished.

"130..." Su Li chewed on the number. In fact, this was just the pre-shooting. After adding the post-production and publicity, the total investment of the movie will be around 200 million.

Su Li now has 50 yuan of funds on hand. A few days ago, he participated in the M-Zone endorsement event, and nearly 100 million yuan in income came in there. Smith in the United States also received good news—his script was adopted , after deducting taxes, you can still earn 56 US dollars, here is [-] RMB.

Adding up, he will have about 210 million funds, which means that the difficulty of shooting will further increase-because the budget is really stretched.

Of course, during the filming time, he will also have some time to go out and do activities, promote his films, and earn a little pocket money by the way.Therefore, there should be a way to go in terms of funds. Another thing is that "Eavesdropping" will be released soon. He also has a little box office bonus in it, and it is estimated that he can get about 30 from it.

After Su Li contacted Lu Zhongfei, seeing the script of "Nightclub Supermarket", Lu Zhongfei's eyes lit up, and he immediately devoted himself to it.

Therefore, these days, he and Su Li have been busy with their feet on the ground, busy renting equipment, and busy looking for professionals.Although Su Li tried his best to do his best in terms of sound, light and shadow in this movie, it doesn't mean that they can find some expensive people.

After a few days of busy work, the preparations for the filming of this film will be completed soon.

And the film studio in Zuli is about to officially register.

Su Li can't directly register an entertainment company, because once it comes to a company, many things are not that simple, and his current funds are far from enough to support it.

Open a film studio, then get a license to shoot a movie, and then use "Nightclub Supermarket" to earn some box office, and then things will gradually become logical.

As for this movie studio, he will only use his own identity to register it. He has considered the name of the company for a long time, and finally decided to call it 'Liguang Film Studio', which will become 'Liguang Entertainment Company' in the future. '

The name Su Li has been thought about for some time, the reason for using this name is that everyone knows, Su Li-Li Guang, there is a common word 'Li' in it, Su Li uses the word [Li Guang] as his future development The main direction, these two words have two meanings.

First of all, Li Guang means "the light of dawn", which is similar to the light of dawn. When the darkness recedes three feet, dawn sweeps the sky with its newborn light in its highest state.Therefore, these two words largely describe Zuli's ambition—his film and studio will wipe out a dawn with the attitude of dawn dispelling darkness.

Secondly, Li Guang also hopes that he can really make a difference, as in his plan and vision, make movies well, and develop according to the plan.

And when he was already preparing to start the company, Yao Qi and Li Xian, the mentor and apprentice, had already returned to China, and Su Li was going to pick them up.

The things in Zuli are really one after another. It is estimated that the "Fenying Special Effects Studio" and "Liguang Film Studio" will kick off almost at the same time.
