Chapter 282
[The eye is still uncomfortable and has not been repaired. It will be repaired tomorrow]
After coming out of Ge You's house, Xu Kun went to Feng Xiaogang's house overnight carrying gifts to apologize.
No matter whether it is because he has been educated by the party for many years or because he has worshiped soldiers since he was a child, there is indeed something wrong with his previous attitude.
Now that I have made up my mind to act, I must make up for my previous mistakes.
Feng Xiaogang was originally very dissatisfied with his attitude during the day, but considering that Xu Kun is now a well-known director with over 100 million yuan, it is normal to have his own opinions. It is commendable that he can bow his head like this.
In addition, Xu Kun and Chen Hong's tit-for-tat behavior in "Yahoo Star Search" a while ago made Feng Xiaogang very satisfied.
So he gently dismissed the issue and even left Xu Kun at home to have a few drinks.
During the dinner, Feng Xiaogang talked about the selection of several main actors. Since Xu Kun, the first person of the new generation, has been selected as the leading actor, according to the wishes of Feng Xiaogang and the second king, he plans to simply let the new generation take the leading role. Enough gimmicks.
The initial plan is to star Huang Xiaoming as the second male artillery company commander Zhao Erdou; Chen Kun as the new instructor Wang Jincun; Wang Baoqiang as the sniper Jiang Maocai; and Zhang Hanyu as the platoon telephoto Dapeng.
For other warriors who have more roles, we also try to find young and famous actors to play guest roles.
If Zhang Hanyu had played the male lead according to the original version, he would not be able to hold down Chen Kun alone, and Huang Xiaoming is not a fuel-efficient lamp.
But now that Xu Kun is the protagonist, the situation is completely different. Although Xu Kun's greatest achievement is in directing, famous directors in the industry have always overshadowed stars.
As Xu’s fifth director with over 100 million yuan, Chen Kun and Huang Xiaoming could only hold it in even if they had any objections.
Another purpose of choosing the new generation to carry the banner is to take the opportunity to bring these two new generations to the forefront and win them over to Huayi.
Huang Xiaoming has basically reached an agreement, and Chen Kun is also wavering.
"When the time comes, you three leading actors will all have a gimmick of appearing for zero pay - don't worry, the money will be supplemented by the signing fee. The so-called zero pay is just a gimmick, used to deceive media reporters. Used by those guest actors.”
Is this the yin-yang contract that later generations will talk about?
It probably doesn’t count, after all, the signature fee also needs to be taxed.
Because the movie is still in preliminary planning and will most likely not start filming until the end of the year, there are only so many things that can be discussed for the time being.
Seeing that Feng Xiaogang had come to an end, Xu Kun hurriedly took advantage of the opportunity and talked about his recent desire to practice with a TV series. He also said: "Although "People on the Road" sold well, there were many problems during the filming, so I just want to practice my skills with the TV series first.”
After listening to it, Feng Xiaogang didn’t find it strange. If nothing else, just watching "The Journey" was seriously overrun, I knew that Xu Kun still had many shortcomings. place.
However, Feng Xiaogang still shook his head and said: "After all, TV series and movies are not the same thing. You can make TV series, but it is best to find two low-cost movies to try."
" This..."
The inventory in Xu Kun's mind are basically classics, but either they cannot be shot with current technical means, such as "The Wandering Earth"; or they always feel a bit wasteful when shot, such as The other two embarrassing series are "Charlotte's Trouble" and "The Richest Man in Xihong City".
In later generations, these are works worth billions or billions. Now the top is worth 200-300 million dollars. With "The Man on the Road" in hand, Xu Kun will have certain confidence in facing theaters in the future. It has bargaining power, so the upper limit can reach 200 million to 300 million.
He was really reluctant to use these for practice.
Seeing that Xu Kun seemed to be stumped, Feng Xiaogang didn’t know what he was thinking, but he still pointed out a clear way: "Speaking of the practice work - the letter reading you made Was the variety show taken away by CCTV? "
"Have you even heard about this? "
"CCTV, that's not surprising."
Feng Xiaogang crossed his legs and looked like he had the pearls of wisdom in hand. He just wanted to get a small fan: "As the saying goes, a blessing in disguise is a blessing in disguise. Don't worry about CCTV's performance. Give them more suggestions in the second season. Wait until CCTV After selling enough favors to the people, I asked them to help inquire about the TV movie series of the movie channel..."
"TV movie series?"
Xu Kun was surprised. Said: "What is that?"
"In short, it is a low-cost movie shot with a digital camera. Six or seven movies are shot in a row to form a series. After the filming is completed, it is not released in theaters. Broadcast directly on the movie channel.
The "Legend of Lu Xiaofeng" series was filmed last summer, and they will continue to film other series in the second half of this year and next year - their banner is to support young directors, and I thought, this is the most suitable one for you to use to practice your skills. ”
Xu Kun didn’t expect to come to apologize to Feng Xiaogang and get such an unexpected gain - as expected, the top directors’ information and connections are beyond the reach of ordinary people.
If it was really like this As Feng Xiaogang said, this TV movie was tailor-made for him.
Of course, even if he could win the movie channel project and receive the script, Xu Kun would not give up. , after all, you don’t just get good scripts when you want them. You might not find the right ones in a year or two.
If you’re lucky and receive them early, you can just stock them up and wait until later. Shoot.
However, Xu Kun immediately called Lao Jia as soon as he came out of Feng Xiaogang's home.
Lao Jia originally wanted to get the copyright in exchange for some benefits from CCTV. When he heard that Xu Kun was going to take over, he naturally had no other choice.
The only requirement is that Xu Kun take time to direct LeTV's new variety show.
Although the combination of Chen Xuebin and Gan Min is not considered a new recruit, the idea came from Xu Kun after all. Without Xu Kun's help, Lao Jia always felt unsure.
In fact, Xu Kun’s worries are completely unfounded.
Half of LeTV's filming team are people who use the happy twist pattern, and the host is Shen Teng, so there is no need to worry about the sense of humor.
The Internet as a whole is still in a loose era now, so it doesn’t matter even if the news scale is a little larger.
With these two things, why worry about the show not being popular?
After hanging up the phone, Xu Kun looked at the driver's seat in the front row, where Zhu Yawen was applying cooling oil to his temples to wake up his nap, and said, "Xiao Zhu, do you want to play a guest role in Director Feng's new movie?" ?”
Zhu Yawen applied the cooling oil for a moment, hesitated for a while, then shook his head firmly and said: “Since we have agreed to accept the punishment, I still want to finish it from beginning to end—besides, I feel that following Brother Kun There is nothing less to learn from you than from filming!”
This guy does have a lot of strength.
In terms of talent, he is much inferior to Wen Zhang, but Wen Zhang's recent performance makes him feel that Wen Zhang's final achievements may not be better than Zhu Yawen.
That guy was actually on the set of "Struggle" and had a fight with Deng Chao!
With two undercover agents, Big Mouth Elk and Big Mouth Jiang Xin, Xu Kun knew as much about the major events and minor affairs that happened on the set of "Struggle" as Director Zhao Baogang did.
According to them, although the relationship between Wen Zhang and Deng Chao has not yet completely broken up, everyone can see that the two of them are not dealing with each other, and they are even holding back their energy during filming.
Wen Zhang was trying to vindicate Tong Dawei.
There is nothing wrong with talking about brotherly loyalty. Xu Kun is such a person himself and appreciates such people very much.
But the problem is that Xu Kun personally recommended Deng Chao to the crew of "Struggle" in order to repay the favor of "The Boss".
Did Wen Zhang consider Xu’s face when he did this?
