Stars of China Entertainment

The creators who have not yet become famous seem young.

For example, Su Xiaoding in "Hurry", or Guo Fan at this time.

His face has not been roughened by high-intensity work, and his brows still have the agility of a young man.

"My Deskmate" was indeed a success, raking in nearly 500 million at the box office.

What Lin Gengxin said is biased. There are classic songs that evoke the memories of a generation. There are two talented newcomers Lin Gengxin and Zhou Dongyu. In addition, the news that the crew invited Cheng Shuo and Liu Yiqian occupied the publicity page. There is almost no failure in this drama.

possible.

But Lin Gengxin felt that such enthusiasm was not practical, and Guo Fan also felt that such a film was not what he wanted to make.

So after receiving Cheng Shuo's call, he rushed over without stopping.

Unlike the old-school companies that have contacted or extended an olive branch before, Cheng Shuo's style is quite radical.

Cult films, suspense and love are two incompatible elements that are perfectly blended together, or branch choices are added during the viewing process. Every work he directs is a bold attempt.

So much so that it didn't seem so unacceptable for him to say that he wanted to make a science fiction film.

"I liked the Terminator before, and I also made "The Adventures of Li Xianji"."

Speaking of this work, his face showed complex emotions mixed with tangle and pride, "It's just that the investment in science fiction movies is too high."

He smiled softly and said, "Speaking of which, you and I are quite destined. I didn't have enough funds for "The Adventures of Li Xianji" and couldn't save for the special effects. I was at a loss to do anything. I watched your previous movie "The Strange Man Yizhimei".

Got inspired."

Weird Man Iljimae also lacked funds at the beginning, so he added comic-style transitions to some big scenes. Unexpectedly, by chance, it also became the source of inspiration for Guo Fan.

Cheng Shuo also laughed, "That's quite fate."

Seeing Cheng Shuo's smile, Guo Fan relaxed instantly.

This man has always had no expression on his face. What Yang Mi said about him in a previous interview was really appropriate. Cheng Shuo has the bad-face syndrome.

Guo Fan pinched his fingers and said with some embarrassment: "I also invited you to the movie "My Deskmate" I filmed before."

"I know."

"Forehead..."

Guo Fan was speechless and wanted to apologize, but he didn't know where to start.

Although the two were not invited, they focused on the process of inviting Cheng Shuo and Liu Yiqian to participate in the film's promotion session, creating a deceptive publicity method in which Cheng Shuo would appear and even have a high level of participation.

Or this drama won't get nearly 500 million.

Until he sat across from Cheng Shuo, he still couldn't help but sigh that the words Cheng Shuo were really valuable.

Although this matter was the work of the propagandist, there are also black spots in his ambiguity.

"When it comes to publicity, you have to exaggerate a little, otherwise it won't attract attention."

Cheng Shuo was very tolerant of him. He didn't pay attention to this matter before because it was irrelevant, but now he just brushed it off because this person was Guo Fan.

Like Guo Fan, he is also quite troubled now.

"The Wandering Earth" was very good, but after watching "The Wandering Earth 2", he felt that the first one was nothing more than that.

According to the current domestic science fiction market, if we want to make "The Wandering Earth 2", we need to be the vanguard in the first one.

"You want to make a science fiction movie, right?"

Guo Fan, who was still struggling, nodded subconsciously by bypassing the topic in an understatement.

It wasn't long before he realized that Cheng Shuo's words did not contain the evasive meaning of those previous big bosses.

He concealed his joy and said, "You also have this idea?"

"have."

Cheng Shuo responded simply that science fiction films are a hurdle that cannot be bypassed and must have a place in domestic theaters.

And not only him, a group of companies in the industry have begun to prepare a remake of "Fortress".

Science fiction films have always had barriers to filming, especially since the popularity of special effects in China is still relatively poor.

If you want to make a good film, you really need to learn from the foreigners and learn skills to defeat the foreigners.

It's just that he has a lot of work under his belt and really doesn't have much time to study.

Without waiting for Guo Fanduo's response, Cheng Shuo continued: "I participated in the Magnolia Award before."

Guo Fan didn't know why Cheng Shuo's topic suddenly moved elsewhere, but his attention was slightly distracted by the Magnolia Award in his words.

As an idealistic creator, he also pursues awards.

"My director Liu Yingjian established some relationships with the crew of "Breaking Bad" and opened up a channel for our company's single-threaded plan."

Guo Fan nodded. He had heard about the single-thread plan several times.

It is roughly the same as other 72-change plans, except that it relies too much on Cheng Shuo's judgment in selecting people, but it also echoes the consistent one-word style of a small workshop like the studio.

"Breaking Bad...can this show also participate in the Magnolia Awards?"

Of course he has watched this show, and it is obviously contrary to core values.

"I won the Magnolia Award for Overseas TV Drama Gold, but that's not important." Cheng Shuo cleared his throat and handed Guo Fan a cigarette. "This show is distributed by AMC, and it's more popular there. I reached an agreement with them.

Exchange student program.”

Speaking of this, Cheng Shuo secretly spat, those capitalists are all greedy for money.

"There is a learning session about participating in the blockbuster production process. Do you want to give it a try?"

Cheng Shuo pressed his hand and signaled Guo Fan to calm down, "Science fiction films still need some technical reserves, not just money."

"I see."

Guo Fan was overjoyed. Sometimes channels are more important than money.

Cheng Shuo said it lightly, but he understood that it must have taken a lot of stepping stones to open this road.

"Those ghost guys made money from me, and I will definitely make them pay it back."

He looked at Guo Fan, "So if you want to make science fiction films, you have to make blockbusters, go abroad, and make money from foreigners."

These words made Guo Fan's blood boil.

Holding the book in hand, he hit the wall again and again, and even thought of setting up his own business.

Seeing the end of the road, I didn't expect it to take another turn.

If he hadn't been a man, he might have pledged himself to her.

Cheng Shuo was very satisfied with Guo Fan's reaction. He was a simple idealist and told him that money really didn't touch his heart.

If it weren't for his style, he wouldn't be able to seduce the ambitious Wu Jing.

"If it's no problem, then let's sign a contract?" Cheng Shuo raised his eyebrows, "Our company doesn't have many people, and we have a lot of freedom. You can tell us what you want to shoot and how much you want."

After hearing this, Guo Fan nodded repeatedly and made gestures with his fingers involuntarily.

If we say that he is the highest-level director in the country, there is still some controversy, but there is certainly no objection to the director who is the most generous and willful.

"Want to See You" took half a year to shoot, and "Nirvana in Fire" cost over 100 million, but it was all Cheng Shuo's fault.

What's more, he twice gave Liu Yingjian the honor of being on stage to receive awards. When he does things, he is not afraid of being upstaged, and he will even build momentum for you.

"Oh, that's right." Cheng Shuo patted his forehead. He was worried that the lack of experience of hitting a wall would cause Guo Fan to perform abnormally, so he gave him some strength. "I boasted in front of the media before that I would release a box office movie.

A movie worth over 2 billion yuan, would you have no problem if it were handed over to you?"

"No problem!" Guo Fan beamed, "3 billion is no problem."

"Okay, then 4 billion."

"Ah?" Looking at Cheng Shuo's confident expression, Guo Fan hesitated slightly when writing, "Are you kidding?"

"Do you think I'm joking?"
