Chapter 485

When I went to the set, I naturally wanted to condolences to the little fox. Now Zhou Xia is very careful, and must prepare a small umbrella before doing things, and no longer has no scruples.

In addition, Sisi's "Blind Detective" has already been filmed, and Xue Xiaolu's "To Our Dying Youth" is in preparation. The company has not yet decided on the male and female protagonists.

In this regard, Xia Hua's actors were preferred, but without Zhou Xia's words, they couldn't make up their minds.

Both the company and the director team want Sisi, Tangtang, Xiaohu, and Yaya who have already been proven in Zhou Xia's movies to be suitable for the role.

But this is a two-way choice. People who the director team likes may not necessarily want to act, and those who want to act may not be satisfied with the director and producer, so in the end these things are all pushed to Zhou Xia's head.

After Zhou Xia returned to the imperial capital from the crew of "You at the Same Table", the company immediately reported this matter to him for handling.

Zhou Xia sat in the office and looked at the report. The male protagonists Xue Xiaolu and Zhang Zhao were roughly settled. The two protagonists were played by Wang Kaikai and Dou Xiao respectively.

As for the heroine, it is a bit difficult. According to the company's various assessments of actors last year, Zhao Xiaoying should be arranged to shoot a movie this year.

The several hit TV series she participated in last year made her very popular.

Participated in "Gong Suo Xin Yu", "Why Sheng Xiao Mo", "Bu Bu Jing Xin", played an important supporting role in it, which accumulated a high popularity for her, and then "Gong 2" filmed by Huanrui, she and Qing Zi As the leading role, the performance is very good.

This TV series will be broadcast soon, and her popularity and influence will be even higher by then.

She is currently filming "Legend of Lu Zhen" in Hengdian. This costume script has always been her masterpiece, and I believe it will become even more popular because of her now.

After reading the work report typed up by Zhang Zhao and others, Zhou Xia couldn't help laughing when he saw the candidate they wanted to choose.

For the role of Zheng Wei, Xue Xiaolu prefers Sisi to play, the second choice is Xiao Ai, the third is Qing Zi, and then Zhao Xiaoying.

Zhou Xia thought about it carefully, and felt that anyone could do this role, anyway, it's not very pleasing, and it's not as impressive as the school belle Ruan Wan played by Jiang Shuying.

That being the case, it's better for Sisi to play the role. Although there are many problems in this role, it is a good opportunity for her to continue to improve herself.

As for Ruan Wan's role, Xue Xiaolu's first choice was Mina, and her second choice was actually Zhang Xinyu, whom he asked Huanrui to sign.

Then choose Mina!

Thinking so, Zhou Xia decided on the candidates for these two roles.

Mina's role in "Prince Princess" is responsible for the beauty and beauty, plus the dark villain. Although the role of this movie is different, the character is very suitable for her.

Zhou Xia felt that it was okay, so he directly delineated the names from these characters.

After all, there is no good choice at the moment. If you go to Jiang Shuying, he will study in England.

And with his signature, Xue Xiaolu can invite Sisi, otherwise Sisi might not like this movie, after all, she is also a person with a reputation now.

After helping the film to choose a leading actor, Zhou Xia looked at the company's recent film release schedule and TV broadcast plan.

"Detective Chinatown" was screened for two months, and it was released on March 3. Now it has been ten days, and it finally earned 8 billion box office, barely surpassing Zhou Xia's first movie.

There are a number of reasons why the movie didn't set a higher record.

During the early release period, there were "Thirteen Hairpins" and "Flying Swords of the Dragon Gate" that stood in the way for filming, and then there were "Sherlock Holmes 2", "The Great Magician", "Mission: Impossible 4" and other films.

Under the attack of various films, and under the deliberate obstruction of all parties, this film did not have the grand occasion of last year's "Charlotte" Spring Festival, which was once as high as 60% of the film schedule. It is already very good to have such a box office result.

This achievement broke the barriers of all parties. Whether it was Zhou Xia or Xia Hua Film and Television, they had once again proved themselves with their strength.

No one said that Zhou Xia and Xia Hua obtained high box office by striking deals with theaters and arranging films.

After all, the top ranking of "Detective Chinatown" is almost 40%, which is very inconsistent with the performance of this movie.

Even after five or six years, if there is such an attendance rate as high as 80%, with an average of more than 90 people per game, and no more than 50% of the film schedule, then the theater is blind, and you can't live with the money!
But because Zhou Xia and Xia Hua Film and Television were too popular last year, this time the Spring Festival theaters were influenced by all parties, and they really didn't add more films to "Chinatown".

Xiahua Film and Television has expressed strong dissatisfaction with this, but except for a few small theaters and independent theaters, even China Film and Wanda, which own shares in Xiahua Film and Television, did not schedule more than 40% of the film.

After all, they have many promising movies released at the same time, and nearly 40% of the film schedules have been arranged to maximize profits.

In view of this, Miaoyan Films continued to increase its investment in theaters this year, and provided more preferential policies and policies for independent theaters to join Miaoyan Cinemas.

Now one month has passed, Miaoyan Movie has attracted 29 independent theaters to join the theater chain, and the total number of theaters in the country has reached more than 40, and it has entered the top ten theater chains in the country.

By the end of the year, I believe that Miaoyan theaters will further develop and grow.

If you have your own theater chain, you will be less controlled by others in the future.

It won't happen that Wanda just doesn't rank higher for "I'm Not Pan Jinlian".

Regarding that good scene, the purpose of Hua Yi and Xiaogangpao's quarrel was nothing more than to increase the popularity of the movie and strive for a higher film schedule.

That movie was destined to be difficult to hit. The reason why Wanda didn't arrange the film was not only because they poached their general manager, but the relationship between the two parties was at a standstill.

But in China, according to the status of Xiaogangpao and his contribution to Chinese films over the years, no matter what the subject matter of his film is released, at least 30% of the films should be scheduled in the first week to show respect.

Wanda didn't follow the 'rules', and didn't give Xiaogang Pao this face, so he naturally wanted to make a fuss.

It turned out to be useless, and Wang Gongzi unceremoniously gave it back.

In the blink of an eye, Sisi, who was resting at home in the imperial capital, called Zhou Xia immediately after her agent told her that the company wanted her to star in "To Youth".

At this juncture, Zhou Xia's Xianxia 3D giant system is being cast, and she deliberately spared time to rest, just to prepare for it.

Unexpectedly, Zhou Xia asked her to act in Xue Xiaolu's youth movie "To Our Perishing Youth". Of course Sisi was unwilling, which meant that she would not be able to participate in "Legend of Sword and Sword 4"!

She has acted in the TV series "Legend of Sword and Sword 3", and she likes this theme very much, and people around her say that her temperament is very suitable for ancient costumes, especially that kind of immortal spirit.

Last time she played Solanum nigrum in "Legend of Sword and Sword 3", which can only be regarded as an important supporting role. This time, she wanted to play a leading role, but Zhou Xia didn't plan to use her.

"Yiyi, are you leaving get off work soon? I recently learned a few dishes that you like, and I've already prepared them. Remember to come over soon."

Just as Zhou Xia connected the phone, Sisi said softly in a rare voice.

"Okay, after I get off work, I will go there when I make arrangements."

Knowing that Sisi might be talking about the casting of the movie, Zhou Xia reluctantly agreed, but what he didn't know was that many actresses in the industry were eyeing this movie.
