Chapter 693: Turn on the computer and worship God

Two weeks later, all six guests of the variety show "Extreme Challenge" will be present, and Yinbai's team will be responsible for recording the show. In the past, they cooperated with the TV station's variety department to record the show, but this time, Yinbai's team took charge of it alone.

At the same time.

The TV department leader of Yunhai TV also bought the first few rounds of broadcast rights of "Du Lala's Promotion" according to Luo Xun's instructions. After the show becomes popular, the subsequent broadcast rights can be resold to other TV stations at a high price. For Luo Xun, as long as he doesn't sell it to the first-tier satellite TV stations that have offered it, any other TV station can buy the subsequent broadcast rights. Anyway, the highest bidder wins, and the ratings of this show will definitely not disappoint!

The plan is proceeding in an orderly manner.

At this time, the major first-tier TV stations are holding an attitude of watching jokes, allowing Luo Xun and Yunhai TV to toss around. In the eyes of these first-tier TV stations, Luo Xun is no longer a concern.

Let him go now.

Although it is a pity that there is no variety show by Luo Xun to help, Luo Xun is full of uncertainty. He may become a helper to his own TV station, but he has a greater chance of becoming an enemy of his own TV station. In order to avoid more trouble, major TV stations will simply get rid of this scourge.

Luo Xun is so happy.

The more the major first-line TV stations underestimate the enemy, the better, so that he can take the opportunity to develop safely. Besides, Luo Xun can't waste all his time on fighting with the TV stations. He has other things to deal with.

The filming of the movie "Wolf Warrior".

Wu Jing has officially left the army, which means that the male lead is in place, and the second male lead Wen Zhang has confirmed the role of the second male lead with Luo Xun after reading the script of "Wolf Warrior". As for the remaining roles, Luo Xun personally checked them one by one.

The female lead Luo Xun chose is Wang Ou.

For action movies like "Wolf Warrior", the importance of the female lead is very low. She is a vase-like existence. The real highlight is still the male lead who kills all sides, so the requirements for all aspects are not very tricky. Luo Xun directly found the more familiar Wang Ou.

After all, it was the first time to film.

So Luo Xun wanted to use familiar people as much as possible, which would be beneficial to his performance as a director. If the actors in the entire crew were not familiar with him, communication problems would easily arise during filming.

Ni Dahong was found for the role of Min Deng.

Ni Dahong was used in the original version, and his performance was very outstanding. Luo Xun was naturally reluctant to replace him. As for the remaining actors, they were all small actors with little fame. Luo Xun was both a director and an investor, so he must consider the budget. He just needed to select a group of actors with good cost performance from the market. Partner Wu Jing also had this idea, and tried to use the budget on costumes, props, and special effects, rather than on the actors' pay.

You know...

Originally, Luo Xun was going to find Sun Li to play the heroine, but because Sun Li's pay was too high, Wang Ou was used. However, despite this, Luo Xun still planned to find Sun Li as the heroine of the second "Wolf Warrior". The other party had a kind of heroic spirit that was not inferior to men, which was not possessed by ordinary actresses.

The crew was officially assembled in August, with a total of 455 staff members from all departments. Luo Xun is one of the most willing to invest in the current domestic film production scale. He set a budget of 100 million yuan for the film, which could have been higher, but the company has recently encountered difficulties and has been affected. However, the scenes of the first part of "Wolf Warrior" are not as big as the second part, so 100 million yuan is enough as long as it is not messed up.

Compared with international blockbusters, this investment is very small.

But compared with domestic films, the investment of "Wolf Warrior" is worth bragging about. Therefore, when the crew of Luo Xun held a press conference for the start of filming, many reporters came to the scene, some of whom were invited by the crew, and some even came uninvited...

After all, it is Luo Xun's first movie.

Moreover, Luo Xun's study of directing techniques abroad has also triggered large-scale discussions inside and outside the circle. Now is the time to test the results, although most of the voices are not optimistic.

Why?

Because the film market never targets anyone, but everyone present here. Popularity is an accident, and failure is the norm. Apart from a few filmmakers like Xiao Gangpao, how many people can make money? Even Zhang Yimou's films frequently make investors lose money!

How can Luo Xun, who changed his career halfway, become popular?

But reporters still came, and there were a lot of them, mainly because Luo Xun spent a lot of money, and this money can still splash a lot of waves in the water. How can reporters not move?

Besides...

Luo Xun himself is a first-line star, a first-line star transformed into a director, shooting the first movie in his life, I believe the public is also happy to see this kind of news.

As for the TV station…

Don’t think that Luo Xun is being suppressed by all the major TV stations. In fact, this matter is only widely spread in the circle. Not many people outside the circle know about it, because all the major media have been warned and will not report it randomly. As for some gossip media, they usually brag too much, and few people will believe the news reported at critical moments. Including occasions like today, no one will be so blind as to mention that Luo Xun was besieged by the TV station. This is something that everyone knows but never mentions.

Worship the gods before the start of filming.

Luo Xun also followed the local customs for once. He was not very interested in this thing. He just thought that the first play should have a sense of ritual, so he made it like this, and gave the media an opportunity to interview and report, just as the first wave of publicity before filming.

Sure enough.

As soon as the ceremony ended, Luo Xun, a fledgling director, was surrounded by reporters. Everyone asked questions at once. Kong Shuang came forward to maintain order and let everyone ask questions one by one:

"Did Brother Xun decide to make an action movie after filming "SPL"? "

"To be precise, "Wolf Warrior" should be a military action movie. There are many movies of this type in Hollywood, but there are not many in our country. Another reason is that I think we should have an action star in the mainland. Yes, I am talking about Mr. Wu Jing, who is my partner and the co-director of our movie."

Everyone looked at Wu Jing.

There were also many reporters around Wu Jing, but the number was definitely not as many as Luo Xun's. As a result, after hearing the people around him talking about Luo Xun's evaluation of him just now, Wu Jing looked stunned: "So I am not a kung fu star in your heart?"

Everyone laughed.

Luo Xun also smiled. Of course, this was just a joke between the two of them. Such a joke was actually a disguised way of telling reporters that the atmosphere of the crew of "Wolf Warrior" was very good.
