Super entertainment red envelope

Chapter 881 I can't shoot so many big names in my life!
Two days later.

The first creative collective meeting of "The Founding of a Nation" was held in Renyi.

As the director, although Li Zhifan was not the convener, he also sat behind the row of desks on the stage.

The opening must be the speeches of the leaders, but this time, their speeches are very concise.

After conveying the main spirit, let the main creators speak.

Li Zhifan was the first to speak among the main creators. He didn't prepare a speech, so he went straight out of the script and said, "What I'm going to say next is more important, because we are a movie dedicated to the country, so it is even more important." Movies that need word of mouth. Quality is one aspect, but details are more important!"

He shook the cast list that he had printed out in his hand, and said, "Only 120 of the actors above are above the first-tier, and the rest are quasi-first-tier, but among them, many of them are foreign nationals." , this is very inappropriate. So, change it!"

"what?"

Everyone was taken aback and looked at Li Zhifan in surprise.

There are no actors present at the meeting today, but they are all participants and directors of this project.

They couldn't understand Li Zhifan's decision.

"why?"

Kang Peixiu took the initiative to ask, "Although some of them have obtained foreign nationality, they are still Chinese, and they are very famous, which can drive the box office."

"The box office is also what I want to say!"

Li Zhifan asked back, "Since it is a gift for the motherland, why charge the box office?"

"You mean free?"

Kang Peixiu blurted out, which also caused the audience to quarrel suddenly, feeling incredible.

The original purpose of their filmmaking was to kill two birds with one stone-to present a gift to the country and earn box office.

What's more, with so many celebrity actors, there is no need to pay for the film, and even the transportation expenses have to be paid by the celebrities themselves, which saves a lot of money.

"That's not enough!"

Li Zhifan said, "Everyone's hard work, including the cost of theaters, also needs money to make up for it, but I hope the ticket price can be lower, and it is a unified ticket price across the country!"

"Then how much do you think is appropriate?"

Kang Peixiu asked, in fact, it was not Li Zhifan's business to set the fare, and it was not his turn to direct, but Kang Peixiu gave him face, so he asked.

"Nine nine nine!"

Li Zhifan said directly, "What does Mr. Kang think?"

"Nine dollars and nine...is it too low?"

Kang Peixiu shook her head, "It's only a pack of cigarettes!"

"Not too low!"

Li Zhifan said, "I have another proposal! We can carry out the film going to the countryside activities, just like in the 7s and 80s, use the box office to set up such a fund, and then take this "Founding of the Nation" to those poor areas for free. show."

"Oh! You think so!"

Kang Peixiu smiled, "Well, the proposal is very good, we will consider adopting this proposal, but for the box office of [-] yuan, we have to study it further."

"Okay! Let's study!"

Li Zhifan said, "I believe that everyone is an enlightened party member. This time we are offering gifts to the country. Our job is not only to show the demeanor of a great country, but also to satisfy the people. This is the Chinese dream!"

These words made many leaders feel that Li Zhifan was better than what they said.

Yes, at first they only thought about how to show the demeanor of a great country, but they forgot that the people are the foundation.

Faced with Li Zhifan's proposal, many leaders also felt that it was very reasonable.

Especially the nationality of the previous actors, this really needs to be studied carefully.

The meeting lasted for a whole day, and Li Zhifan didn't speak anymore, only listening and taking notes.

this afternoon.

The official blog of the "Founding of a Nation" movie announced the change of actors.

"In view of the fact that there are many non-Chinese nationals among the original cast members, the director Mr. Li Zhifan suggested that Chinese nationals will be replaced, and the new cast will be released next week."

The official blog posting like this is also intentional.

First, they want to see whether the choice of the broad masses of the people can accept non-Chinese Chinese actors to star in "The Founding of the People's Republic of China".

Secondly, they were afraid that if the audience would accept or even object to this approach, they directly said that it was Li Zhifan's suggestion, as if they wanted to throw the blame away.

but.

Netizens not only didn't post right, but even rarely expressed their approval in unison.

"Great, these white-eyed wolves should be cured now!"

"If you don't want them, you need our Chinese actors!"

"Support Li Zhifan's proposal, Radio and Television did the right thing this time!"

"I'm not Chinese anymore, and I still want to act as a congratulatory gift for the new China? This proposal is so right!"

“Let’s make it clear that non-Chinese actors do not pay tax to our country’s tax authorities, especially those stars who immigrated to Singapore, because Singapore does not need to pay taxes on overseas income, so many former Chinese stars emigrate. Arrived in Singapore, understand?"

"There are still many immigrants to the United States. Some states in the United States have very low taxes, so they go."

"Hmm, and some islands in the United States do not pay taxes at all, especially those islands known as tax havens, so many stars have immigrated to these areas."

"When I watched some anti-Japanese war films before, when the cast list came out, there were a bunch of foreign nationalities in brackets, and I felt disgusted."

"Actually, Chinese actors who have immigrated to foreign countries can also be used! Don't hit me first, I mean, let them play Japanese devils in the play, haha!"

"Upstairs praise! Disgusting them!"

"Ha ha……"

These comments made Li Zhifan smile knowingly, and felt that his proposal was right.

And China Film and Radio and Television also breathed a sigh of relief, it seems that this is what the people want!

But those non-Chinese actors are struggling.

They had already been pulled into the group, and some even started to determine their roles, but now they are asked to be eliminated?

Isn't this a joke?
Now they hate Li Zhifan to death, some bold ones, those with older experience in the entertainment industry, started questioning Li Zhifan directly in the group, and some people saw this posture and followed suit to question him.

When Li Zhifan saw the group, he only asked, "Are you Chinese?"

For an instant.

The crowd suddenly became quiet.

No one came out to say a word.

At this time, an American veteran actor with a lot of qualifications came out and said, "Yes, what's the matter? My ancestors have lived in China for generations. I am just an immigrant. I still have a Chinese heart."

"It's useless to talk so much, take out your ID card and passport to have a look!"

Li Zhifan immediately replied, and continued, "You also know that your grandparents have lived in China for generations. Why did you immigrate when you came here? Are you worthy of your grandparents?"

"Hehe, Li Zhifan, don't you also live in the United States all year round? What right do you have to say about us?"

An international actress stood up and said boldly.

"Sorry, I have always been on a work visa, and I don't even have a green card, but you are American citizens and have the right to vote and be elected! We are different!"

Li Zhifan directly stated his identity, and he was misunderstood by many netizens and the public before.

"Where's your daughter? Where's your son?"

Someone asked again.

Li Zhifan responded: "The Household Registration Section of the Chaoyang District Police Station in Beijing, you can check it as you like!"

But even so, everyone was still dissatisfied with Li Zhifan's decision and kept arguing in the group.

At this time, a male star suddenly appeared and sent a message, saying: "Everyone, don't argue, I have communicated with the higher-ups just now, if you want to change your nationality, please prepare the documents and contact me immediately, this matter can be specially approved ! But if you don’t want to come back, don’t force it!”

"What? Special approval?"

"How did you do it?"

"Well, what materials do you need to prepare?"

"The process is very troublesome, and there are still many things in the United States that I have not settled."

"What do you all think?"

"..."

Seeing these eyes, Li Zhifan knew that it was impossible for these people to think about coming back.

Next, the group began to kick people on a large scale.

In fact, this is a set of cooperation. The male star who suddenly spoke is Hu Lei, and he is cooperating with Li Zhifan and China Film in a play. How could the country open a special approval channel to them because of this play.

If someone expresses their willingness to change their nationality at the first time, they can give them the foreign characters in the play.

But if you don't want to, then you have no choice but to kick it directly.

Also at the same time.

The official blog of "The Founding of the People's Republic of China" released a new message: "The second casting will be held. All major entertainment companies are welcome to actively promote their star artists, but they must be of Chinese nationality."

Less than ten seconds after this information was released, a Taiwanese actor posted a quick blog, saying that he had received a notice from the crew of "The Founding of a Nation" and had the opportunity to act, thanking the country for thanking the motherland and so on.

Previously, China Film Group had very few quotas for Hong Kong and Taiwan regions, but there were very many first-tier and super first-tier stars in Hong Kong and Taiwan.

This time, China Film has expanded the number of places in these two regions, and at the same time conveyed a correct message: Hong Kong, Macao and Taiwan, especially Taiwan, are part of China, and the actors in these regions are also Chinese actors.

And those who immigrate abroad, we don't want it!

As a result, many roles that had already been set had to be rearranged, especially the painters, who had to re-paint the makeup portraits of these actors.

But this time Li Zhifan didn't participate because he was busy with internal unity.

The actors who were kicked out already had a lot of opinions on him, and the fans and the hired marketing account had already started to attack Li Zhifan violently.

But those who stay in the group are mostly the majority. Li Zhifan has a good relationship with them, is stable and united, and their fans will share the same hatred and cheer for Li Zhifan.

Moreover, Li Zhifan had a very large number of fans, and even some die-hard fans of the actors who left, this time they all changed directions and stood on Li Zhifan's side, which caused those black people who attacked violently to be defeated at the very beginning. Come on.

In addition, the radio and television interviewed all major online platforms and demanded a clean-up work. These bigwigs directly blocked their accounts behind their backs and dealt with them, making these black fans completely dead.

When the final list of actors was released, there were only 80 stars above the first line.

Among them, more than 40 non-Chinese first-line stars were excluded from the team. This net is too wide.

It was also this time that netizens realized that those celebrities were no longer Chinese.

Some celebrities have already immigrated, but they still claim to be Chinese and make a lot of money in China.

On the surface, they just lost an opportunity to act in a movie, but in fact they lost a lot. Some endorsers were also withdrawn urgently, and some activities that were about to start were temporarily canceled, and some people's film contracts were also cancelled. .

And under such circumstances, "The Founding of a Country" has finally started.

There are many shooting spots, and the three most important cities are Beijing, Nanjin and Chongqing.

The first scene was filmed in the capital, and the content of this scene was a meeting. More than 20 big-name celebrities gathered in a temporary scene, and only a few shots were taken, and most of these people only had this When a scene is cut into a film, it may just be swept away.

Usually in this kind of play, this kind of role is played by a group, and sometimes the staff even has to replace it.

But this time it was a wonderful scene. A conference table was full of celebrity faces, which made it very difficult for the cameramen. Everyone wanted to take more shots.

"Crack!"

Li Zhifan yelled to stop, "What's wrong with the camera, it let you pass by in slow motion, why are you pausing?"

"Yes, yes, I'm sorry Director Li, I didn't mean it!"

The cameraman quickly apologized, "But with so many big names, I can't take pictures of them all in my life. Don't I want everyone to stop and do some close-ups?"

"Hahaha……"

A table of actors laughed, feeling that the cameraman is quite cute.

Li Zhifan was also laughed angrily, shook his head and said: "I will never direct so many star shots in my life, so you take the shots for me, and it's best to go through them once, everyone's time is very tight, you also Knowing that they are all first-line big names, time can't afford to delay!"

"Well, well, I know!"

The cameraman nodded again and again, holding the mirror again.

Li Zhifan looked at the monitor and said to the lighting engineer on the side: "Master Deng, the light is a little darker, I want to shoot a sense of age, trouble!"

"Hey! Good!"

The lighting engineer listened to Li Zhifan's request, and quickly directed his apprentices to operate according to the requirements.

This lighting engineer is not a few years older than Li Zhifan, but Li Zhifan treats him very well and kindly, which is completely different from his attitude towards the camera.

No matter what kind of crew it is, filming, TV series, concerts or TV recordings, the lighting engineer will always be held in the palm of his hand, and he will not dare to offend even if he sleeps.

Actors want to be beautiful on camera, lighting is very important, directors want to shoot good pictures, lighting is very important, and even other departments, such as props and photography, if they want their labor results to meet the standards, they must also let the lighting engineer cooperate happily just work.

And the title "Leng Ye" has been completely retained, just like "Old Master", no matter how big a director or star is, everyone has to call it out in a proper manner.

Of course, unless it's the director's own team, brought out from the apprenticeship all the way, whether the beating is pro-swearing or love, as long as the two of them know it in their hearts.
