China Entertainment Bright Era

Gansu Film and Television City is actually called Greater Dunhuang Film and Television City. As the only film and television base in Gansu, it is often called by the name of the province by people in the industry.

There are very few tourists here because it is located in a very remote area, in the Gobi Desert near the national highway between Lanzhou and Yinchuan. It is troublesome for tourists to come and see it. Even if they come by car, they have to walk a long way in the Gobi Desert.

What's more, the weather is very hot, so the crowds are even sparse.

Chu Xuan arrived at the airport here at nine o'clock in the morning and had been riding for two hours. Except for the vehicles rushing to and from the city, there were almost no people in the Gobi Desert on the left and right.

As he approached the film and television city, he saw the appearance of the film and television city with his own eyes.

This film and television city is very small, only 5,000 square meters, smaller than the area of ​​​​the large convention and exhibition centers in the city.

But its outline shape is very similar to those of sports centers, just like a valley, surrounded on all sides, and with the unique wonders here similar to the Mogao Grottoes, it feels mysterious and desolate when you are in it.

Producer Li Xue and director Kong Sheng took a fancy to this point and used this place as the place for the decisive battle of Mei Ling in the drama, where the Red Flame Army was surrounded and refused to surrender before being massacred.

It’s time to take some photos of the red sunset sky background. Think about how desolate the scene is.

"Hello, teachers." Chu Xuan said hello and led the assistant team towards the set.

The large crew is still in Hengcheng, and only Li Xue is here with a small team to preside over the work.

The production crew set up about a dozen awnings on the Gobi Desert outside the gate of the film and television city. There are resting and sheltered places in the film and television city. The staff worked in small groups and followed the senior management of the production crew to plan or arrange the props.

"Young Marshal is here." Li Xue raised her hand and waved. Yu Rongguang, Ren Quan and other actors looked over with a smile, each holding a bottle of mineral water in their hands to quench their thirst at any time.

"Are they all filmed here?" Chu Xuan walked to Li Xue and asked.

Li Xue looked around and pointed at several places in the distance.

Chu Xuan followed his finger and looked. On the endless Gobi desert, there were mountains and rocks that looked very dry and arid. They formed a number of strange and steep mountain roads and trails. There were also areas covered with green plants in the distance, which would be used as battlefield shooting scenes.

location.

"First shoot these exterior scenes, and finally go back to the studio to shoot the details." Li Xue said, opening the mineral water and taking a sip.

Chu Xuan nodded, this was also the original plan in the shooting plan.

For battlefield scenes of this kind of large scenes, we first shoot the formations and charging postures in real scenes, and then go to the studio to shoot the details of the fight under a green cloth. In the final editing, the real scene replaces the green cloth, and the special effects of thousands of troops are added to the green cloth.

.

This is the normal production process of large scene pictures.

Many people think that all special effects scenes are shot in a studio and can be all produced using computers.

It is indeed possible, but the quality of the images produced entirely by computers is either science fiction, animation, or fantasy.

Only by using real scenes as a base and computer rendering, and adjusting the rendering parameters based on the data of the real scenes, can the final overall picture be realistic and have the unity of the front and back painting styles.

"Xiao Hu." Li Xue waved to a person in the shed. Seeing this person walking quickly, he introduced to Chu Xuan: "This is Hu Yanbin. Two songs have been selected by the company as your promotional songs for Lin Shu. Now

Only for the demo, he came here specially to feel the atmosphere of the scene so that he could record songs, and the promotional videos featuring you, Lin Shu, were also shot here."

"Hello Chu Xuan, I'm Hu Yanbin." Hu Yanbin came over.

"Hello." Chu Xuan shook hands with him: "I met you at the micro-entertainment night. I didn't expect to be able to cooperate here."

"My pleasure." Hu Yanbin smiled, feeling excited in his heart.

Nowadays, the domestic music circle can be described as a battle between gods and gods. There are all kinds of good songs emerging one after another, and it is difficult to get ahead.

However, people in the music circle have a consensus that if their songs can be related to popular TV series, they may be able to take off.

Just like "He Must Love You Very Much" from "Talented and Beautiful", Adu's album sales have exploded.

Just like the various episodes in "Sword and Fairy", the musicians and music companies behind them also gained a lot.

Just like "Unparalleled in the World" in "The Condor", Zhang Liangying's popularity and popularity are directly comparable to that of Li Yuchun.

These are all popular TV series, which bring rapid development momentum to singers, and are also a shortcut for singers to become popular in this era.

It is obvious to many people that Brilliant Era has been producing hit dramas continuously. When "Legend of Red Flame" sent out production letters for theme songs, interludes and promotional songs to major music companies and music studios, many people began to get ready to seize this rare opportunity.

Chance.

He also submitted many Chinese-style songs. Although they were not selected as the theme song or interlude, they were selected as the promotional song for the male protagonist Chu Xuan, which also made him very excited.

Is there anyone in China who is more popular than Chu Xuan? If his song can be collaborated with Chu Xuan's, he has a premonition that he will become popular too.

"What song, can you listen to it now?" Seeing that he was idle for a while, Chu Xuan became interested in Hu Yanbin's promotional song.

"There is only a demo, but no arrangement." Hu Yanbin took out the MP4 and headphones from his pocket. The demo is a sample song with melody and singing, without adding instruments. It is an incomplete music without arrangement, only composition and lyrics.

Chu Xuan put on his headphones and listened: "It sounds pretty good."

"I sang the first song once and didn't want to sing it a second time." Hu Yanbin shook his head.

"There are so many transpositions that most people can't sing." Chu Xuan nodded.

"Chu Xuan, are you going to practice?" Li Xue said, pointing to an equestrian teacher not far away leading a horse.

Chu Xuan took off the headphones and gave them back to Hu Yanbin, and walked out of the studio with Ren Quan, Yu Rongguang and other actors, preparing to start their equestrian training phase.

It was almost twelve o'clock at noon, and practicing equestrianism under the scorching sun was too much for them.

…

New Haven, almost twelve o'clock in the evening.

Under the night, with only the faint moonlight for company, Liu Yifei was lying on her side on the bed. Although she closed her eyes, she couldn't fall asleep.

She invited Ailande to dine at a Chinese restaurant tonight. This was a normal friendship situation, but Ailande was a talker and would talk about everything.

This made her feel funny. Is this Grande really that pure, or does he not take her seriously, or does he just have such a personality?

The two of them are not very acquainted yet, and they talk about everything externally. This Ailande is cute enough.

There was something that was unintentional on the part of Love Rand's speaker, but intentional on her part as the listener.

Grande's boyfriend's family opened a film and television company, but it was losing money every year and was about to be unable to operate. Grande's boyfriend was the sole heir. Seeing the condition of his family's company, he felt very bad.

Seeing that her boyfriend was in a bad mood, but there was nothing he could do about it, Ailand complained a little bit in front of her.

After hearing Grande's story, she roughly figured out the relationship.

Grande and her boyfriend have been dating since high school. One inherited the family business and became a film and television producer, and the other pursued his dream of acting and became an actor.

The two families are not balanced. The former is rich, while the latter can only be regarded as a small asset.

When her boyfriend asked her to send Grande to Yale University for further study, and her boyfriend's family found out about it, her boyfriend's parents were very dissatisfied, thinking that Grande was not worthy of their family. Grande herself knew this.

So when Ailand saw her boyfriend encountering difficulties, she started to have self-esteem and wanted to help her boyfriend. Firstly, she wanted to prove herself and secondly, she wanted to be recognized by her boyfriend's family.

This is like a country girl and a rich and handsome man who truly love each other, but the rich and handsome man's family does not approve of him and encounters difficulties. Who knows that the humble country girl wants to cheat and slap her boyfriend's family in the face and proves her role as a leading heroine in the city?

.

But the reality is that the boyfriend is neither tall nor handsome, just rich, and the country girl has no cheating.

Liu Yifei gave this summary of the matter. This matter had nothing to do with her, but she thought of something and it aroused her thoughts.

In the dark night, she suddenly opened her eyes, and she couldn't make up her mind about the things in her heart.

She opened the quilt, turned on the bedroom light, put on her slippers, opened the door and ran into her mother's bedroom.

Her movement made Caitlin in the room on the same floor suddenly open her sleepy eyes on the bed, and also made Jace on the lower floor stop and listen carefully in the room. After a while, the two of them returned to normal.

Liu Xiaoli had fallen asleep and was also awakened by her daughter's movements.

"What's wrong? You're still awake this late at night." She frowned and turned on the light in the bedroom.

Liu Yifei took off her shoes and went to bed, lying next to her mother: "Mom, there is something I want to tell you."

"What can't we talk about tomorrow?" Liu Xiaoli yawned and rolled her eyelids.

"I can't sleep if you don't tell me." Liu Yifei saw that her mother was going to sleep again, so she took her mother's arm and shook her mother's body.

Liu Xiaoli felt helpless, opened her eyes and said, "Tell me about it, I'm convinced by you too."

Liu Yifei watched her mother listen, and quickly explained the situation to her mother.

After listening to this, Liu Xiaoli frowned: "Ai Rande's boyfriend's family company is not running well. What does it have to do with you? Do you want to help Ai Rande? You don't know her very well. We've only known each other for a few days?"

"Mom, listen to me." Liu Yifei said: "If I help her boyfriend solve the problem of the company's capital flow that is difficult to maintain the company's operation through Ai Rand's relationship, what will happen to Ai Rand? What will happen to her boyfriend?"

"What do you want to do?" Liu Xiaoli was confused.

Liu Yifei organized her thoughts and spoke out her thoughts.

"The size of her boyfriend's company is similar to...that of Tang Ren. It's not as big as Tang Ren, but it's better than Tang Ren. It can produce movies and TV series."

"Through Ai Rande's relationship, I helped her boyfriend solve the company's difficulty in maintaining its capital flow. In my mind, I was able to achieve several goals."

"The first purpose is that the equipment of this film and television company can be purchased. The film and television industry foundation of the Brilliant Era requires these equipment and equipment."

"No." Liu Xiaoli retorted: "You can buy lower-end equipment and equipment at will. As long as you have money, why insist on finding this company?"

Liu Yifei said without hesitation: "Wouldn't we be cheated if we buy from another company? No matter in terms of price or quality, if we are cheated, we will only suffer a loss. However, this company is facing a funding gap and is in urgent need of money.

If they still want to trick us, the worst we can do is leave."

Liu Xiaoli probably understood: "Your idea is to use funds to invest in this company. The terms of the investment include some equipment and equipment, so that they dare not cheat us, because we can withdraw our capital at any time."

"That's what I mean." Liu Yifei nodded repeatedly.

"Keep talking." Liu Xiaoli became serious. It seemed that her daughter was hiding something big in her heart.

"The second purpose is that Glorious Times has purchased the copyrights of many foreign novels in recent years, such as "The Twilight Saga" and "A Song of Ice and Fire."

"This was previously discussed between Chu Xuan and Sister Hua to open up overseas cooperation channels, such as overseas distribution channels, overseas production channels, overseas artist channels, etc."

"But if it is cooperating with the eight major Hollywood companies or major companies, the benefits and goals that Brilliant Era can pursue will definitely lower expectations."

"But now there is a troubled film and television company right in front of us, with distribution channels, artist channels, production capabilities, etc."

"If we can help it solve its difficulties and successfully acquire shares, then will it be much smoother for Chu Xuan and Sister Hua to open up overseas channels?"

Liu Xiaoli was very surprised to hear what her daughter said. She guessed that her daughter had something big in mind, but she didn't expect it to be so big and related to the development of Brilliant Times overseas.

"Chu Xuan has always helped you before, and now you want to help Chu Xuan?" She understood her daughter's heart.

"The first is to help him, and the second is to prove myself." Liu Yifei said: "I don't want to tell Chu Xuan about this, and you don't want to tell Sister Hua. I want to handle it by myself."

Fighting spirit burst out in her eyes, and Liu Xiaoli shook her head: "The capital required to invest in a film and television company is not a small amount. If you don't tell Chu Xuan and Sister Hua, where will you get the money?"

Liu Yifei blinked and said: "Film and television companies all have continuous income from copyrights. It does not mean that they will close down immediately. According to Grande, her boyfriend's family's company is about to be unable to survive, and it will definitely last for a while.

"

"I don't want to cooperate right away. At most, I just want to discuss an intention with her boyfriend through Ai Rande's relationship. Her boyfriend and her boyfriend's family will definitely think about it carefully and won't immediately enter into detailed negotiations."

"Although I am an American, I must use Chu Xuan's banner when I go to talk, otherwise they won't even see me. I know this."

"During this period, I was also betting that the web game Chu Xuan and I would really succeed, and then I would successfully become a shareholder of Brilliant Times according to the original plan. Then I would be completely confident to have a detailed discussion with them."

"At that time, you can tell Chu Xuan and Sister Hua about this, and let Chu Xuan and I talk about the details together."

Liu Xiaoli caressed her daughter's face: "Your sister Hua also told me about the overseas development plan, but the domestic affairs have not been fully rolled out yet, so we are not considering overseas development for the time being."

"But if you can help Bright Times expand overseas in advance in your own way, your sister Hua will be very happy, Chu Xuan will be proud of you, and the company's shareholders will also look at you differently."

Liu Yifei squinted her eyes. This idea also came to her suddenly. When her mother said this, the anticipation in her heart became stronger.

She added: "There is also a third purpose. I heard that Ailande said that her boyfriend was originally going to take over the family's company in a few years. With the help of me and Chu Xuan, Ailande's boyfriend should take over the company as usual.

.”

"And I used Ai Rand's connections to help her boyfriend, which is equivalent to Ai Rand using her personal connections to help her boyfriend. Then her boyfriend and his family will definitely look at Ai Rand with admiration."

"Elland will also be grateful to me and become a good sister with me."

"You and Sister Hua often say that I am Chu Xuan's only weakness. If you can control me, you can control Chu Xuan."

"Comparing hearts, Ailande and her boyfriend really love each other, and Ailande and I are good sisters. When the time comes, Chu Xuan and I will talk to her boyfriend through Ailande. Ailande's status in her boyfriend's heart will definitely be

It’s going to go straight up.”

"With this layer of relationship attached to the cooperation between the two parties, I think future cooperation will be more friendly and have a foundation of trust."

Liu Xiaoli clicked her tongue twice and shook her head: "You can do it now, you have understood human nature."

Liu Yifei wrinkled her nose cutely and arched her arms coquettishly in her mother's arms: "I'm not stupid. I've seen so many markets with you, so I have to think of something."

Liu Xiaoli stroked her daughter's hair: "Grown up."

Hearing her mother's tone of treating her like a child, Liu Yifei snorted feigning annoyance, threw off the quilt and got out of bed and ran to her bedroom: "I'll think about it myself. Good night, mom."

Liu Xiaoli glanced at her daughter's leaving figure. She came to tell her such a story in the middle of the night, which was beyond her expectation.

The things I mentioned are all ideas I got only after a short exchange with friends. They sound a bit unrealistic. After all, there are too many unknown information factors.

But she doesn’t want to discourage her daughter. If she has an idea, she will do it. If she doesn’t do it, how will she know whether her idea will work?

Even if you encounter difficulties, just find a way to solve them.

She just didn’t want to tell Chu Xuan, and also asked her not to tell Wang Jinhua…

This means I have really grown up and want to be on my own.

Liu Xiaoli smiled softly, pulled the quilt to cover her, closed her eyes and fell asleep.
