Chapter 41 KTV Party
Compared with great directors, Li Mingyang’s ability to direct actors is far behind.
But the guidance of Liu Yifei is more than enough. In addition, he has seen the original film. As the filming progresses, Tianxian becomes more and more like a village girl.
Knowing that Tianxian was leaving today, Li Mingyang went to shoot for the first time yesterday. He took several long shots and was able to pass.
As soon as I get to a close-up shot, I’m in trouble. I get distracted easily, I can’t concentrate, and I can even forget the lines I wrote...
Everyone on the crew was speechless.
Back at Ming Yang Entertainment, the crew who had nothing to do were chatting, playing cards and playing games online in the office area.
Humanity is very important for a newly established company.
Not only does Li Mingyang not object to everyone fishing, he also agrees with it.
After entering his and Yang Mi's office, Li Mingyang locked the door.
Taking out his mobile phone and opening the phone book, Li Mingyang lit a cigarette and used the company phone to call to solicit investment.
Even if Liu Yifei doesn’t leave, the crew will have to stop work at the end of the month.
Because there is not enough money.
Before shooting, Li Mingyang thought about saving as much as possible.
After filming started, Liu Yifei's condition got better and better, and Li Mingyang's requirements for movies also increased.
Filmmaking is a bottomless pit, and you can throw any amount of money into it.
In the same scene, if there are more actors and more realistic props, the price will double.
"Hey, Mr. Zhang, my movie sample is out. Do you have time, I can send it to you to have a look?" Li Mingyang was the first to call Zhang Chaoyang.
Zhang Chaoyang pondered for a while and refused, because he was busy recently.
This is obviously an excuse.
Li Mingyang called Mr. Cai again, and Mr. Cai directly asked how much the bouquet-like love would cost from filming to post-production.
"Three million, right?" Li Mingyang is not sure now.
As soon as he finished speaking, Cai Yinong hung up the phone.
Obviously he doesn’t want to get involved.
According to the movie's cost-recovery multiple, the box office must reach 3 times the cost to recover the cost.
Not counting the publicity and distribution, the production cost was 3 million, and it would take nearly 10 million to recover the cost.
The risk is high, the payment cycle is long, and there are no sweet actors.
One million, Cai Yinong will definitely join.
Three million, Cai Yinong didn’t want to take the risk.
Li Mingyang made a series of phone calls, and video companies generally avoided movies.
Shanghai Film Studio has an idea, but it has to sign a gambling agreement.
China Film directly hung up the phone.
LeTV was willing to pay, but it wanted the copyright, so it was crazy to cooperate with Lao Jia.
In the evening, Li Mingyang waited for Yang Mi outside the hotel where she was staying, preparing to give her a surprise.
When she didn't come back until after eight o'clock, Li Mingyang called Yang Mi. "Mimi, you haven't stopped working yet?"
"We're done, we're shopping."
"Where are you?"
"What are you doing?"
"I need to see you if I need anything."
"I have no money."
Too smart to have any friends.
Yang Mi was unwilling to say where she was, so Li Mingyang smiled and said, "Are you with Shishi? I'll ask her." "Ten Mile Street." Yang Mi said helplessly.
“Ten Mile Street is so long...”
“Forget it if you can’t find it.”
There was no other way, so Li Mingyang could only ride on a battery car and look for it along Shili Street.
After searching for a while, Li Mingyang found that there were too many people in the night market. Just when he was about to call Liu Shishi, Yang Mi sent a text message: "Haigang KTV, number 666, come quickly."< br>
"Isn't this because he was drunk? You want me to come to the rescue..."
Li Mingyang complained, and with a strong twist of his hand, the battery car drove at a speed of more than 30 kilometers per hour. Speeding towards the harbor KTV.
Ten minutes later, Li Mingyang came to the Harbor KTV and searched the entire floor but could not find No. 666.
After asking the waiter, I found out that No. 666 is the supreme VIP hall and cannot be entered casually.
The front desk called the waiter in box 666. After confirmation, Li Mingyang was led into the elevator by a waiter wearing a blue stewardess uniform and sent to the door of box 666.
"Sir, here we are, this is the room."
Li Mingyang nodded and glanced at the box through the oval glass on the door. The colored lights in the box were shaking, making it difficult to see clearly.
The exciting music came from inside the door. Li Mingyang put on his sunglasses, opened the door, and was immediately shocked by the dance music.
Several men and women were in front of the TV, twisting and dancing to the dance music. There were a few people sitting scattered on the large U-shaped sofa. There was a long black coffee table behind the sofa. Eight people were rolling dice and drinking.
"Mingyang, here." Yang Mi, who was shaking the dice, stood up and waved to Li Mingyang.
Li Mingyang walked over, and when he got closer, he realized that this table was all starring actors from Sword and Sword 3.
Hu Ge, Lin Zicong, Huo Jianhua, Yuan Hong, Liu Shishi, Yang Mi, Huang Zhiwei, Tang Yan.
After Li Mingyang exchanged a few pleasantries, Yang Mi said: "It's so dark here, don't wear sunglasses, Shishi is a little drunk, you take her place."
After saying that, Yang Mi pulled Liu Shishi behind her, leaving Liu Shishi's seat vacant.
Li Mingyang glanced at Liu Shishi and found that she drank a little too much and her eyes were dull.
Li Mingyang took off his sunglasses, sat down at Master Liu's seat, poured himself a glass of beer, went first as a sign of respect, and said hello to everyone.
Hu Ge responded with a drink upon seeing this, and then enthusiastically introduced the rules.
It’s just a very ordinary dice game, if you lose you have a drink.
After playing three rounds, Li Mingyang drank three drinks.
Didn’t Master Liu get drunk? Just a bit of a back-up.
“This position is too far away!” Li Mingyang sighed.
"You carry it harder than Shishi..." Yang Mi said, covering her face.
Li Mingyang originally wanted to make money tonight, but when he saw Hu Ge and several male celebrities, he immediately came up with the idea of getting both people and money, but he couldn't bring it up first, he had to wait for them to do it first.
After playing for five more rounds, Li Mingyang drank three drinks and Hu Ge drank two drinks.
Li Mingyang's luck finally improved a little, and he didn't drink again for the next dozen rounds.
Hu Ge became the most negative person.
“If we keep playing like this, I will have to sleep under the table.” Hu Ge drank a little too much and giggled: “Mingyang, how is the filming of your movie going?”
“ It's okay, but Liu Yifei went to Xiangjiang, and the crew had to stop filming. We have to wait for her to come back before we can continue filming." Li Mingyang took a sip of wine, moistened his throat and continued: "Brother Hu, are you interested in making a movie about me? There is still one male lead left.”
Hu Ge naturally wants to make a movie, and he would rather star with Liu Yifei, but he has a lot of worries in his heart, "Your movie has offended Huayi so much that it's a question of whether it can be released."
“Haha, Huayi doesn’t dare to mess with me now. They are busy going public. Real estate big guys are having a hard time now. Which capital is the most powerful in China now? Internet capital is the most powerful. Lao Zhang Ting I, Hua Yi, don’t dare to mess around.”
“Newborn calves are not afraid of tigers!” Huo Jianhua sighed.
"Who says I'm not afraid of Huayi? I'm scared to death! But they can't do anything to me now!" Li Mingyang slapped his legs and laughed: "Feng Pants banned me, Huayi banned Liu Yifei, I Then I thought about it, Liu Yifei and I are in the same boat, we are comrades in the trenches! And as you know, I really cooperated with Liu Yifei."
