Huayu is free to do as you like

The total investment of "Xiuchundao" is 30 million, with China Film investing 15 million and controlling the distribution, accounting for 55% of the total share.

Gu Wei invested 15 million in the name of the studio, accounting for 45% of the total share.

There was no way, Gu Wei only had money.

China Film Group has both money and people, and we need to count on it to help with the post-production announcements.

This is because Gu Wei is from the academy and has a good relationship with the director. Let someone outside the circle invest and see if he will trick you or not.

In those years, coal bosses invested in the entertainment industry and spent a lot of money on filming. Look at whoever made money, and those who could make back their money were considered conscientious in filming.

Anyway, once a movie is filmed, everyone from the director to the actors and the crew will make money. Who cares whether the investors make money or not? It’s all for the sake of art.

The coal bosses simply knew that they were investing money either to let the mistress appear in the show, or to sleep with the female star.

The reason is simple, the purpose is clear, and it never interferes with the creation. Everyone is satisfied.

Soon the crew of "Embroidered Spring Knife" officially started shooting, and actors joined the cast one after another.

No surprise, except for Shen Lian played by Gu Wei and Liu Yifei, played by the heroine Zhou Miaotong, the other main roles are still the same actors from the original version.

In fact, there is no surprise. Teacher Jin Shijie, who plays Wei Zhongxian, and Lu Yang have collaborated in the previous "Cinema for the Blind".

Zhou Yiwei, who plays Ding Xiu, is the protagonist of [Cinema for the Blind].

Li Dongxue, who plays the role of the third brother Jin Yichuan, is a student of the 2007 acting department of the college. He is Gu Wei's serious senior brother.

Lu Yang happened to also graduate from the directing department in 2007, and they were old acquaintances.

As for Wang Qianyuan, who plays the role of the eldest brother Lu Jianxing, he not only has excellent acting skills, but also won the Best Actor at the 23rd Tokyo International Film Festival and the Best Actor at the 7th China-US Film Festival in 2010 for his starring role in the comedy movie "The Piano of Steel" , and is from the same school as the directing department, and is a 2012 graduate student in the directing department of the college.

So the entertainment industry is a circle, and it’s all about personal connections.

Everyone is on their own, and when you make a movie, it doesn’t matter who comes to you.

There are many excellent actors, and the same role can be played by others as well. Who should be used and who should not be used is entirely a matter of the director and producer's words.

Moreover, people who are not familiar with you will not look for you. They will directly look for actors you have worked with before, and you will not even have a chance to compete.

Of course, in addition to connections, if you are famous and popular, the producers will also look for you for ratings and box office. Just like Liu Yifei now, if she takes on this drama with her current fame, if she can promote it later Kung Fu will definitely attract some of her fans to watch the movie, which will boost the box office to a certain extent.

The original version of Shishi was also very popular at the time. He had just become famous because of "Bu Bu Jing Xin" and attracted a large number of fans.

It's a pity that she has been filming TV series and has not proven herself in the film field. Movie audiences do not buy it and will not enter the cinema because of her.

There is a phenomenon in the entertainment industry. It is recognized that movie actors have higher status than TV drama actors. Many actors take the initiative to seek opportunities to make movies after becoming popular on the small screen, hoping to make it to the big screen.

However, many actors' TV series become popular and even become a smash hit, but their movies are not successful.

The most obvious example is Brother Hu from Sugar Man. With his role as Li Xiaoyao in "Fairy Sword", he became popular on both sides of the Taiwan Strait and in three places, becoming the Xiaoyao brother in the hearts of a generation of girls.

However, after the filming of the movie, the box office basically hit again and again. Although this was due to the lack of film resources of the company behind him.

But there are also many actors who are not as famous as Brother Hu and have no background in big companies. They can also make movies that are popular at the box office or have high ratings.

Although Liu Yifei has not made any box-office hit movies in recent years, her own nationality is higher than that of her teachers. In addition, she has been deeply involved in the film field for several years, and she still has a wave of movie fans of her own.

Either you have a background and a big company is backing you, and you can thrive in the industry like a fish in water.

For example, if you sign a contract with a big company like Huayi, not to mention the internal resources of the company, if the company can support you, it will also find some film and television companies outside that cooperate with the company to exchange resources.

Just like Yang Zi, when she was not popular, she had already signed a contract and joined the cast. Before filming, her role was actually snatched away. There was no way for someone to directly communicate with the producer to snatch your role away from the backstage, and you could only feel dejected. of leaving.

As for suing the crew for breach of contract, that would be too naive. He has a backing, but since you have been replaced, it means he is bullying you because you are not popular and have no backing. The most you can sue him for is some compensation. But if you want to take on related dramas in the future, the producers will consider it carefully.

The last type is the gold dollar player.

The most obvious example is Mr. Right, Tiantian. I don’t need to find any connections or not, and it doesn’t matter whether it’s popular or not. I just throw money at it and it’s over.

For this kind of domestic destruction, Hollywood will be destroyed, and a big sweet universe of Hollywood will be created.

Basically there are no opponents, because no matter the connections or background, no one has trouble with money.

Everyone doesn’t come into the entertainment industry to make connections. In the final analysis, they come to make money. As long as you let people make money, they will do whatever you want.

Just like Yan Wang Sun Honglei, he made a bad movie "Warring States" and contributed many famous scenes, which made netizens complain.

Why did he want to act in a bad movie? Didn't he read the script before inviting him? I knew in my heart that this movie probably wouldn't turn out well, but I couldn't help it because the money given to me was too much.

"Xiuchundao" is not Lu Yang's first movie, but it is the first commercial blockbuster he directed.

In the past, he had shot some low-budget movies with a small crew, low cost for communication and command, and the shooting was relatively smooth.

[Xiuchundao] The entire crew includes more than 300 actors and staff. It is also a big challenge for Lu Yang to make these people completely obey his instructions and then shoot satisfactory shots.

Fortunately, China Film Group hired Lu Yang to be experienced drivers with no professional skills to speak of. In addition, China Film Group's own producers suppressed him, so no one on the set dared to challenge the director's authority.

"Let me introduce to you, my junior brother Gu Wei, who plays the male protagonist Shen Lian in our movie, is also one of the producers and investors of our movie."

The main crew members are all here, and everyone is introduced to each other.

Lu Yang took great care of Gu Wei. He was worried that it would be his first time to act in a movie and he would not adapt to the environment, so he did not need him to introduce himself, but took the initiative to introduce him to everyone.

Originally, when everyone accepted the role, they only heard that the actor playing the male lead was named Gu Wei, but they didn't know the rest.

Now that everyone understood the director's introduction, the exchange suddenly became more enthusiastic.

"Hello everyone, I am Gu Wei, a new actor, and I am currently studying in film school. All of you here are my seniors, and some of them are my senior brothers.

It is an honor for me to work with so many outstanding actors in the industry. I hope that the seniors will not hesitate to teach me during filming. I will definitely study hard and hope to grow as soon as possible. "

Gu Wei kept his posture very low and said with a polite smile.

Seeing Gu Wei's humble attitude, the others felt relieved.

Gu Wei said this and they didn't dare to really treat him as a newcomer. After all, he was not only an actor but also an investor.

They all said that everyone learns from each other and makes progress.

Liu Yifei didn't say anything but looked at Gu Wei curiously.

In short, for Gu Wei, the crew are all good people.
