Chapter 353 Shame and shame! (The second update asks for a subscription! Ask for a monthly pass!)

On November 11, Lu Chuan had almost completed the preparatory work for the movie "The King's Feast".

I have been conceiving the script since last year, and I have been making full preparations since the painting of "Southern View of the South", and now it has been more than half a year.

The "Hongmen Banquet" scene studio of Guanghuairou Film and Television Base was pushed to rebuild again and again, and the location of the location was also changed several times.

The film is now about a month away from filming.

Several leading actors have almost been confirmed. There are four or five investors this time, and they all want to put a few characters in.

Yinghuang originally wanted his family's Xie Tingfeng to play Xiang Yu, but Lu Chuan flatly refused, so he had no choice but to recommend Wu Yanzu.

Wu Yanzu is not from Yinghuang, but they are all Xiangjiang actors. They are from a bigger place and belong to the same circle.

Zhang Zhen played Han Xin, one of the three heroes of the early Han Dynasty, Sha Yi played Xiao He, Qi Dao played Zhang Liang, his girlfriend Qin Lan played Lu Zhi, and Nie Yuan played Xiang Zhuang.

Now it is Liu Bang, the great ancestor of the Han Dynasty, who has already negotiated all the treatment with Liu Ye before, and the two sides cooperated very well in "Southern View of the South".

Last night, Lu Chuan received a call from Chang Jihong, saying that he had something to discuss and that they were meeting in a nearby hotel.

Lu Chuan didn't think much about it, thinking that they had other requirements for treatment, so he went to the appointment after tidying up in the morning.

"Sister Hong, Liu Ye."

"Hello Director Lu."

The two sides greeted each other very familiarly.

Lu Chuan casually sat down beside him, and asked with a smile, "Is there any request for Sister Hong this time? As long as the crew can do it, I will definitely satisfy it."

Liu Ye's face was a little unnatural. The salary and all the treatment had been negotiated, and he was somewhat embarrassed to change his mind and not shoot.

However, as an old man in the industry, Chang Jihong is much calmer than him, she smiled and said, "Director Lu, thank you very much for giving Liu Ye this opportunity, the role of the leading man in a big production is very unusual. .”

"Miss Hong, you're welcome. Liu Ye's acting skills are among the top among Mesozoic actors in China, and "Southern View of the South" performed very well."

"I still want to thank Director Lu for fighting for it." Chang Jihong said again and again.

After talking for a while, Chang Jihong finally explained why she came here.

"But Director Lu, we may not be able to cooperate this time."

As soon as these words were spoken, the air froze instantly, and no sound could be heard in the entire hotel box.

Lu Chuan looked at Chang Jihong in disbelief. He originally thought that Liu Ye had other requirements, such as being treated better than other actors in the crew.

But I never expected that Chang Jihong would say that she couldn't cooperate anymore.

What does it mean?
got rejected?

This is the male lead of a major fashion production with an investment of nearly [-] million yuan. Liu Ye is not Zhou Runfa. The male lead of this level is a role that no one can beat, and he turned it down!
Lu Chuan suppressed the anger in his heart, and there was such a coldness in his tone.

"Liu Ye, what's going on?"

He didn't ask Chang Jihong, the old woman had been in the entertainment industry for nearly 20 years, compared to Liu Ye, an actor who was much younger.

"Director Lu, I'm really sorry. I really want to act in this movie, but there's no time for it now." Liu Ye said shyly.

In the final analysis, Liu Ye was not kind, everything was settled, but he changed his mind in the end.

But no matter who you change, you will make the same choice without thinking about it.

Lu Chuan understood as soon as he heard it, and he asked, "Did you take another film?"

Liu Ye and Chang Jihong looked at each other, and Chang Jihong replied for him, "Director Lu, a few days ago Director Tang An invited Liu Ye to play the leading role in a new film. He is a tough guy. You also know that Liu Ye is undergoing transformation. The King's Feast" is closer to the style of drama and opera, and the role of Liu Bang is more about expressing the changes in his life."

Chang Jihong tried her best to find a better excuse, and she didn't hide the fact that she had accepted Tang An's new play, she would know sooner or later.

Don't talk about it now, when Tang An announces the cast candidates, Lu Chuan will definitely be even more angry when he finds out.

But now, most of Lu Chuan's anger would definitely be directed at Tang An.

But an excuse is an excuse after all, Lu Chuan didn't even pay attention to the second half of what she said, only heard that Liu Ye had accepted Tang An's new film!
What a shame!

The actor who had negotiated ran to take another director's play, let alone his enemy!
If Liu Ye accepted Zhang Yimou's film, Lu Chuan would have nothing to say.

But now it's Tang An's new film. Doesn't it mean that in Liu Ye's heart, Lu Chuan's film is far less important than Tang An's?

It's like a young couple taking their household registrations to the Civil Affairs Bureau to get a certificate, but when they arrived at the door, a man suddenly ran out and said that he wanted to marry your girlfriend.

Then your girlfriend agreed, and the two of them went to get the certificate!

If it is the son of the leader of Guo Jia, or the son of the richest man, then there is nothing to say, no woman can refuse, the key is that this man is not much stronger than you!

Lu Chuan only felt a burning pain on his face, and the good mood he had been in for a while was gone in an instant, and his hatred for Tang An deepened a lot!

He didn't want to stay any longer, so he got up suddenly and walked away.

"Then I wish you luck!"

Lu Chuan slammed the door angrily and left, leaving Chang Jihong and Liu Ye wryly smiling.

Liu Ye sighed, "If I had known earlier, I wouldn't have accepted "The King's Feast", and offended Director Lu for nothing."

The relationship between Tang An and Lu Chuan is not good. It doesn't mean that Liu Ye must stand against Lu Chuan after making Tang An's movie, unless the relationship is deep enough.

"Okay, don't think about it so much, seize this opportunity, the fitness team I found for you has arrived, and I'll meet with you to make a fitness plan for you."

Wang Zhongjun from Huayi also knew about Tang An's choice of actor. Although he was not his own actor, he did not object.

For other supporting roles, including the general and several other soldiers in the protagonist's class, Tang An also asked Hua Yi to choose some actors who could play soldiers in different styles.

The script has been reviewed for a month, but Optoelectronics has not passed it, so the project has not been approved for the time being.

On November 11th, another big event happened in the entertainment industry!
Poly Group announced that it will transfer 50% of the equity of Poly Huayi Media, that is, the Poly Culture Group, which originally belonged to Poly. Think advertising company.

Six years ago, the peace between Poly Culture and Peking University Huayi became the largest merger and acquisition case in the cultural industry. Now with the separation of Berner, Poly Huayi’s revenue in the film and television business is almost zero, and the advertising is also greatly reduced. piece!
The year-long loss made Poly decide to abandon the film and television industry and completely switch to the construction of terminal theaters.

Tang An got the news at the first time. Poly retained the theater chain and travel satellite TV, and sold other assets to the outside world.

According to the current market value, it is worth about 3.5 million, but it has basically been in a state of loss this year, and basically no one will accept it.

As soon as the news came out, Tang An immediately asked Xu Manyun to mortgage all the remaining 160 houses, and the loan reached 92% of the total price, a total of 2.75 million!
The box office revenue of "Chinese Partner" and "Smile of a Sword", plus TV rights, a total of 7400 million yuan has also arrived.

The total available cash is 3.5 million!
The proceeds of "People on the Journey: Lost in Thailand" can be loaned tens of millions, and the project of "Painted Skin 2" should be established quickly, and then you can go to the bank to borrow a sum of money.

PS: I suddenly couldn’t think of how to write the business part, so I will briefly summarize it later, forgive me for being an ignorant person. . . . .
