Chapter 392
The film has been approved.
Casting and other things are almost done.
There are also many old acquaintances of Lin Dong, such as Zhang Feng, Guo Chi, Huang Jianxin, etc.
In addition to the protagonist's acting skills, other supporting roles can be said to be carefully selected, which can definitely improve the quality of the movie by several levels.
"There is no budget table because some actors have taken too much money. The usual routines are about to talk about money after they have almost finished talking. There are such slutty operations in the entertainment industry. Do you dare to believe it?"
"Actually, Fan Xuexue is quite popular." Du Qixi said.
"What's the use? Her popularity is too weak and cannot form a box office appeal. Do you think that Tai Buyi's last few seconds of the shots created a box office of more than one billion?" Pei Qianlong was not polite at all to his old club.
In fact, he was a very sarcastic person.
This is not a derogatory meaning.
Of course, it is not a compliment.
The only difference is that Pei Qianlong does not hide himself at all. He can be used as his label.
If such a person is incompetent, he might just be a keyboard warrior.
Fortunately, his ability is not very strong, so all these defects can be interpreted as strange people's quirks.
"..." Du Qixi was so angry that she couldn't speak.
"How much does Fan Xuexue make for filming this movie?" Lin Dong asked curiously.
"It's rare, at least you can see very little." Pei Qianlong said unconcealedly: "You may even see reports of her acting in zero pay."
"Lao Pei, you are too extreme." Du Qixi is not a fan of Fan Xuexue, but it is his childhood memory after all.
"She wants to act ugly in this drama, right?" Pei Qianlong asked Lin Dong.
"Yes, it's rustic and ugly. Although there is no final makeup photo, it is written in the project book. Fan Xuexue, who always appears as a goddess, will play a village woman this time, which is a rare selling point." Lin Dong nodded.
"Haha, she can never act ugly. Wang Cailing in "The Beginning of Spring" is called ugly. Can you recognize that it is Jiang Wenli?" Pei Qianlong exposes this scam without hesitation.
"Forget it, we won't vote." Lin Dong gave up.
On the one hand, I am not sure whether the drama can be compensated, but it is obvious that neither the cast nor the director's skills support the drama to lose money.
On the other hand, Lin Dong didn't want to get involved in that mess.
They have too many methods and are too bold.
I've been plucked into the head.
I am not satisfied with making so much money, hundreds of millions a year, and the celebrity income rankings have been in the top three for several consecutive years. Greedy people will not end well sooner or later.
Klester is innocent and has a lot of taxes he should pay, and he also spends hundreds of millions of dollars to do charity every year.
"Come on, Mr. Du, it's done." Pei Qianlong wanted to treat Lin Dong with a glass, but when he saw the rock sugar pear in Lin Dong's hand, he decisively turned his head to treat Du Qixi.
Du Qixi cried with him.
I sighed in my heart, don’t offend Lao Pei if you offend anyone.
This person is too vicious.
When ordinary people encounter this, they may tell their boss that I will not deal with these people, and I will not care about this matter in order to avoid suspicion.
But Lao Pei is different.
He found an opportunity and broke things up in a few ways.
And the interference is open and upright, and it does not hide the fact that I am retaliating.
If you know that Pei Qianlong was disturbing Huang, you don’t know what Fan Xuexue and Motor were feeling.
Revenge is impossible.
Klester was not afraid of these two people at all.
Pei Qianlong is now Mr. Lin’s confidant. Because Mr. Lin doesn’t take care of the company’s specific affairs, the entire company is managed by Sister Shan and Lao Pei.
Also because Sister Shan is a very low-key person, Lao Pei has become the company leader in a practical sense.
"I have a project here, and I feel that the probability of making money is about zero. If Mr. Lin, you are not short of this amount of money, you might as well do good deeds." Pei Qianlong was very straightforward.
Lin Dong expressed doubts about this.
Could it be that I want to back-punch myself, this trick seems familiar.
"The project name is "Defense", a war film tells the story of the anti-Japanese hero Yao Ziqing led 600 heroes to guard Baoshan County, Shencheng, in the Battle of Songhu in 1937. In the extremely difficult situation of many enemies, we are few, firepower disparity, and equipment backward, he fought bloody battles with the enemy for seven days and seven nights, and finally died heroically for the country."
"War movie?" Lin Dong was a little confused.
The first thought that flashed through his mind was that, no, this may be of the same type as "Special Wolf Warrior 2".
But as Pei Qianlong told him, he realized that he was thinking too much.
War movies are also classified.
"Special Wolf Warrior" is a modern war film, and the timeline is almost consistent with the present. After Lin Dong gave up eating Wu Feng's big melon, he carefully analyzed this type of movie.
The final conclusion is "a sense of honor for a great country."
This moved many people and walked into the cinema, thus creating the myth of two special wolf warriors having a box office of 600 billion yuan.
There is also a kind of war film, the timeline is placed in the era of the War of Resistance.
There are similar "Rise Hands" to resist foreign enemies, and there are "Charge" similar to motors that are proactive.
This type of box office results are both good and bad, but there are basically no big hits.
After all, war is long past us.
In fact, "Defense" does not belong to either. Although it seems to be resisting foreign enemies on the surface, it is just that the main body of the War of Resistance has become another group of people.
This thing is very subtle.
Lin Dong can understand why no one invested in this project without asking.
"Have you deliberately beautified something?" he frowned.
"What this can beautify is basically well-documented, and it has been relaxed a lot in recent years, but no one dares to move."
"Not no one is moving," Du Qixi, a decent director from the film school, quickly corrected him and said: "I filmed "Iron Blood Taierzhuang" in 1986, and Zhang Feng's "My Team Leader". However, as the director of "Taierzhuang", another film he made, "Blood Fighting Kunlun Pass" was not good, and it was lifted for eleven years. The fate and form of such films are related to their own situation, so I really dare not move them lightly."
"At worst, it's just a ban, so I said I would lose money." Pei Qianlong was very calm.
"Even if it is not banned, you will still lose money." Du Qixi added: "You may not be able to pass the review after you pass the review. If you pass the review, the theater will not give you too many films."
His brief summary is the desire to survive in theaters.
Even if your thing is real, without beautification or blackening, everyone still dares not give you too many resources.
To avoid people thinking that your butt is crooked.
"How much does it cost?" Lin Dong asked. As long as it is not a person who is planning to make trouble, he will certainly not refuse the loss of money.
"One or two hundred million." Pei Qianlong breathed a sigh of relief.
Mr. Lin and himself are the same type of people, and he did not disappoint himself.
Whether it was rejecting "I Am Li Xuelian" or deciding to invest in "Defense", it made him feel happy that he was lucky to have a close friend.
