Chapter 86 Am I going to star?

It is easy for the movie "The Mountain, That Man, That Dog" to make money, but it still needs operation.

You can't sell overseas copyrights cheaply like later generations. In the end, you didn't even get back your investment, and you completely became someone else's wedding dress.

Of course, this is all in the future, but now, Qi Wei wants to take advantage of the opportunity of betraying Han Sanjing's favor to ask for some benefits.

So Qi Wei continued: "Master Han and Director Kang, as a junior, I also have a little bit of ambition. When I set up a film and television company, I not only wanted to invest in movies, but also wanted to participate in the production and distribution of movies.

My film and television company has been established for several months, and I have a few channels, but I have never come across any good projects worth taking action on. The project you brought this time is, for me, the same as giving me a pillow when I feel sleepy.

….

I’m thinking, can you hand over this project to my film and television company, and let my film and television company also participate in the production and production, without actually participating, just give it a name.”

Before this, mainland films were produced in the name of major film studios. Now, although the policy has been liberalized, due to inertia, the production rights of mainland films are still in the hands of major film studios.

You can have it if they give it to you. If they don't give it to you, there's nothing you can do about it, even if you invest in full, it's useless.

Of course, Qi Wei's request is not excessive at all.

Qi Wei added: "If you two allow it, my film and television company can be responsible for all the investment of 3 million yuan in this movie, and the promotion and distribution of subsequent films can be left to my film and television company."

The meaning behind Qi Wei's words is that you just have to make the movie, and after the movie is made, just sit back and wait for the money.

Hearing Qi Wei's words, Han Sanping and Director Kang looked at each other and couldn't help laughing.

Director Kang smiled and replied: "This is no problem."

For the two of them, they just like the story and want to put it on the big screen, and they are not optimistic about the "financial prospects" of this film and television project.

It should be said that there is no "money scene" in this movie project.

Therefore, as long as they can find a bad guy and get them to invest in the film project and the factory meets a production target, the rest doesn't matter to them.

Qi Wei even promised to be responsible for the subsequent publicity and distribution work, which was followed by another sum of money. You must know that these domestic film studios began to lose money because of the "unified purchasing and marketing" and began to do their own distribution.

Even Han Sanping felt a little embarrassed when the "taken advantage of" could do this, no, be so sincere and bully honest people.

Qi Wei "cheated" a large amount of money, so Han Sanping wanted to make some compensation.

After looking around, he couldn't help but shook his head and said: "Your company seems to be a bit unsatisfactory. There are not many people there, and the front desk doesn't look very good."

Qi Wei smiled awkwardly and said: "When the company was first established, it was a bit crude and it was not easy to recruit talents. I will replace the front desk with a beautiful one tomorrow."

Han Sanping nodded and said: "In recent years, the film industry has been in a sluggish environment, and our Beijing Film Studio cannot provide enough opportunities and support like before. I know that many people in the factory have found another way out.

I don’t want to delay them. I want to introduce them to a better place. I wonder if you are willing to take them in."

Upon hearing this, Qi Wei was immediately overjoyed and immediately replied: "Of course, no problem. I welcome them to join our family."

Although Nortel helped Qi Wei's film and television company obtain a film and television shooting license, the recruitment of behind-the-scenes talents was still not smooth.

Still the same problem, investing in "Party A and Party B" is considered to be bad luck. Qi Wei's film and television company has not made any other convincing achievements so far, so it is still not favored by others.

There are thousands of people in the Beijing Film Studio and there are many film and television talents. Now that Han Sanping has spoken, wouldn't it be easy to persuade a few outstanding talents to join them based on his status?

This immediately solved the problem of Qiwei Film and Television Company’s lack of talent.

As for the future, as long as you can successfully prove yourself, with the backing of Beijing Film Studio and Nortel, won't there be a steady stream of film and television talents in the future?

It’s nice to lean against a big tree to enjoy the shade.

This was obviously a way of compensating and supporting him. Qi Wei also understood it and immediately showed his gratitude.

Han San Ping is now very willing to support and cultivate people who are capable and obedient.

Nowadays, the film market continues to be sluggish. Continuing to fight alone is not conducive to surviving in a more cruel market environment. Therefore, eight units including Beijing Film Studio and Beijing Film Company are preparing to merge to form a Beijing Film Group like Shanghai Film Group.

of.

The plan is to establish it next year.

In the newly established Beijing Film Group, Han Sanping naturally wanted to move up a level and gain more rights.

He needs a few "horse boys" to charge in the film industry and give him more voice.

Now Qi Wei, who is very good at doing things, has fallen into his eyes.

As for whether raising tigers would bring disaster, this was no longer within the scope of his consideration.

Given a chance, Qi Wei is certainly willing to be this "horse boy" at present.

Later generations of Huayi Brothers and Bona didn't all start from "Ma Tsai".

As for taking advantage of the opportunity to thrive and take off...

At least now, everything is peaceful.

At this time, director Huo Jianqi suddenly said: "You have also read the movie script. Teacher Teng Rujun from China National Theater has agreed to play the role of father, but we have not yet decided on the role of son. Originally, I was

I wanted to choose a suitable actor for the Chinese Opera, so I fell in love with a student named Duan Yihong."

Directors like you all like to go to the theater next door to select actors. Qi Wei asked with some confusion: "Isn't it Liu Huohua?"

Qi Wei Remembers This Movie is Liu Huohua's film debut.

"I don't know who Liu Huohua you are talking about."

Director Huo Jianqi focused his eyes on Qi Wei's face and said with a smile: "Now, I don't want to consider other people. I think you are very, very suitable."

"Huh?" Qi Wei was surprised. He had never thought about acting in this movie. He stood up, straightened his body, pointed at himself and asked doubtfully:

"You don't think I'm suitable for such a rustic role, do you?"

Director Huo Jianqi looked Qi Wei up and down. The more he looked at him, the more satisfied he became. He nodded and said:

"The idol temperament you have now is really not suitable, but I think you are very suitable for this role. You are also from Hunan Province. I am confident that I can train you well. You don't have confidence in your acting skills?"

Qi Wei's first album was a hit and he has a lot of fans. The movie starring him will have a certain box office guarantee. Even Lao Mouzi was interested in this when he invited Qi Wei.

Although director Huo Jianqi does not have much confidence in the box office of the movie, he hopes that the movie will achieve a satisfactory box office after it is released.

Such a rustic role will be more challenging for Qi Wei to participate in, but if the training is successful, it will also produce a corresponding sense of satisfaction.

Now Qi Wei is his best choice.

Qi Wei, who has already filmed several dramas, has made great progress in his acting skills, but playing such a role is a big challenge for him, and he doesn't have much confidence. But you are the director, so do whatever you think is suitable.

They have "composed" so many songs, and Qi Wei doesn't care whose role he steals or whose luck he steals.

But Qi Wei still had some worries in his heart, so he said: "You value me so much, so naturally I won't be pretentious. It's just that I'm currently preparing for my second album, which I plan to release in mid-April. I won't be able to smoke it before June."

Make time."

"I plan to start shooting this movie in September. Two months is enough time for you to finish filming."

"But I have agreed to participate in Lao Mouzi's new movie "My Father and Mother", and I will join his team in the second half of the year."

At this time, Han San commented with a smile: "In Lao Mouzi's movie, your role is not particularly large. I have already communicated with you. It is enough for you to join the set in November. It will not affect the filming there.

."

"Uh" Hearing this, Qi Wei already understood and looked at them and laughed, "So you guys came prepared!"

Qi Wei pretended to be serious and continued: "It's not cheap to hire me to film movies now. As you know, my record company cooperates with PolyGram. They help me find resources in Hong Kong City. They even offered me hundreds of dollars to film movies there.

Ten thousand per film, I received 200,000 per film for Lao Mouzi, which is still a friendly price, so how much remuneration are you willing to give me?"

What Qi Wei said is true. There are film producers in Hong Kong City who are willing to pay a higher price, several times the salary, as long as Qi Wei is willing to star in a romantic movie.

Director Huo Jianqi smiled and said: "This is also your company's project, you can do as many as you want."

"Public and private matters should be kept separate. Naturally, I want Han Xin to recruit as many troops as possible. Besides, this is nominally my company's project, but I don't plan to participate too much in the production. You are still in charge of the film. How much do you think is appropriate for me?"

Director Huo Jianqi thought for a while and began to bargain: "This is a literary film and I can't offer a high salary, so you have to give me a friendly price, and the salary should be lower."

"Lao Mouzi gave me a salary of 200,000 yuan, it can't be lower than this, right?"

"Lao Mouzi is a great director. It is easy to attract investment. If you are rich, you will naturally be willing to pay a high salary. I only have your 3 million investment in this movie. The production fee is limited. Teacher Teng Rujun does not want that much salary."

"Okay, then how much remuneration do you plan to give me?"

Director Huo Jianqi started to stretch out five fingers, but he was embarrassed and bent down four fingers, gritting his teeth and said: "I am willing to pay a salary of 100,000 yuan!"

Although this number is not high, after all, film investment is limited, so it is already quite sincere.

Qi Wei pretended to think about it again and again, and finally reluctantly agreed.

"I just said his acting skills are okay." Seeing the two of them "seriously" fighting for the salary, Han Sanping was the first to laugh.

Then everyone laughed too.

Qi Wei then thought of something else and asked: "There is a Dong girl in the movie script. Is there a suitable actor?"

Director Huo Jianqi nodded and replied: "It has been initially decided. The choice is Cheng Hao, a classmate of 1997 at China National Theater Academy. This was recommended by teacher Teng Rujun."

Then Director Huo Jianqi lowered his voice slightly and told a secret:

"This girl named Cheng Hao, her father and teacher Teng Rujun are good friends. I heard that she received five university admission notices, and she chose to be in the theater at the suggestion of teacher Teng Rujun. Teacher Teng Rujun promised to support and take care of her, so

Only then will I star in this movie as a friend, and I won’t receive any remuneration.”

It turns out there is a relationship, Qi Wei understands now.

Combined with the script and the memories of later generations, the core of the movie "That Mountain That Man That Dog" lies in the father and son, or more precisely in the teacher Teng Rujun who plays the father.

Liu Huohua is the top performer in their class. His acting skills are actually very average. He was trained during the filming of the movie. If someone else replaces him, it won't have much impact. But if someone else plays the role of father, the taste may change.

Qi Wei originally planned to fight for the role of the Dong girl for his own woman.

Gao Yuanyuan, as for Gao Yuanyuan, has already secured her a chance to shoot a Wahaha commercial. The Cold War has just ended, so Qi Wei doesn't want to get her a role yet, lest she appear too attentive.

This girl knows how to read eyes, and Qi Wei has already prepared a play for her in his heart.

Li Xiaoran is not suitable, Yan Danchen is more well-behaved and more suitable, Qi Wei is ready to fight for her.

But in this situation, it is not easy to take care of Teacher Teng Rujun’s face.

Say it again.

"The girl named Cheng Hao is pretty and fresh, so she suits her well." Director Huo Jianqi said with a smile.

She is a heartthrob, of course she is beautiful, and it seems that it would be good to work with her.

Qi Wei felt a little excited and had a little expectation.

Everyone got what they needed, and the negotiation was very pleasant. When a distinguished guest comes to visit, it is natural to entertain him well.

Naturally, Mr. Qi will pay for all purchases in the future.

"I think both of them are quite suitable." In another crew, after today's audition, director Zhao Baogang was hesitant with two photos in his hand.

Screenwriter Hai Yan, who was standing by, couldn't give an answer.

At this time, a certain producer came in from outside and took out a poster and spread it out in front of the two of them.

"You want to find a beautiful boy to be the leading actor in this drama, so why don't you consider him?"

Looking at the handsome boy on the poster, screenwriter Hai Yan really felt that it was very suitable. Director Zhao Baogang stared at it for a long time and hesitated and said: "He didn't come to the audition, how could I choose him?"

"This is not the key. He is so famous now that he was even invited to star in Lao Mouzi's new movie. Do you think he will be short of roles?

Inviting him to be the leading actor will save a lot of publicity costs, and more importantly, he has the money to bring money into the production, so we don't need to go everywhere to raise funds, and he can also handle the soundtrack for our drama."

At this time screenwriter Hai Yan nodded.

"I think he is the perfect choice for Xiao Tong."

Hai Yan, the author and screenwriter of the original work, also spoke. Director Zhao Baogang also felt more and more suitable as he read more and finally nodded.
