Chapter 334 Actor Xu Returns to Peace in Evening Clothes
[Although we had a quarrel over the smart toilet, we still strive for three updates at night! 】
Seeing that Feng Xiaogang rejected the proposal to get together in the evening, Huang Xiaoming and Hu Jun quickly left wisely. Qin Lan also said that he had not been to the company for a while and planned to go back to his office to take a look.
When only Xu Kun and Feng Xiaogang were left in the room, Xu Kun expressed his desire to make a modern gunfight movie.
After hearing Xu Kun's immature story outline, Feng Xiaogang hesitated and said: "Do you want to make a Chinese version of "Saving Private Ryan"?"
Feng Xiaogang doesn't find it strange at all that Xu Kun wants to make his own "blockbuster". The box office has exceeded 100 million since his debut. It would be really strange if Xu Kun had no ambition at all.
"Absolutely, but the scene I imagined should be "Saving Private Ryan" + "Police Story 3". Big scenes are too expensive, and I don't want to analyze human nature, so I thought of using small-scale fighting scenes. Make up for it.”
"If you don't analyze human nature, they will analyze you."
Feng Xiaogang first expressed his feelings, and then mused: "There are policies for filming war scenes in China. As long as the connections and money are in place, it is not a problem to recruit some soldiers to help with the filming. But if you want to shoot a modern gun battle scene, you should use foreign troops. This It’s just a bit...”
Seeing the embarrassment on his face, Xu Kun smiled and said: "I just find it troublesome, so I came to ask you for advice."
Feng Xiaogang pondered for a while, and then gave some guidance: "I have heard some rumors recently, and I don't know whether they are true or not. It seems that in order to promote the economy, Thailand is planning to encourage foreigners to shoot movies in Thailand.
In fact, those on Hong Kong Island have been fond of filming in Thailand since the 1990s. I guess the Thai people have also seen this, so they plan to introduce some targeted support policies.
Didn’t you win a Thai movie star a few years ago? Look for connections there, then use the chicken feathers as arrows to go to Han Sanping to help run it, and try to create a model pilot for China-Thailand film and television cooperation.
In this way, when we wait for the filming, we can probably get help from the Thai government. The planes and tanks are all minor issues, and the scale can be slightly larger when it is released - after all, diplomacy is no small matter. ”
[Note: In 2007, the Thai government established the "Thailand Film Affairs Office" to specifically connect foreign film crews, simplifying the filming license approval schedule from the original 15 days to 3 days. 】
Xu Kun never expected that the Thai actor who was disliked by him at the beginning and was even embarrassed to talk about it would one day be useful.
Speaking of which, he and Li Yixiang participated in the 2nd Bangkok International Film Festival, which can be considered as the "Festival Founding Fathers". Now that he has become famous, wouldn't it be natural for him to go to Thailand to reciprocate the favor and promote the economy?
Thinking of this, Xu Kun couldn't help but give a thumbs up: "Uncle Feng, you are so talented. No wonder you have been at the forefront of domestic commercial films for so many years!"
This was half sincere and half flattering.
Now Feng Xiaogang has not completely embarked on the road of "analyzing human nature". If we sum up the commercial films of the past ten years, he is definitely ahead of Lao Mouzi.
It's a pity that Lao Mouzi's "Hero" caused too much noise, coupled with the years of verbal and verbal criticism from the media, it made him somewhat unconfident.
"Okay, stop flattering me."
Feng Xiaogang said seriously: "I've given you an idea, but you can't delay me on "Assembly Number", otherwise..."
"That's for sure!"
Xu Kun said: "This kind of thing doesn't happen overnight. I sent someone to find out the news a year ago. If there is a way, I will go there in person after the filming of our movie is completed."
"You have to make room for me during the promotion period."
"You still can't trust me? Even if the sky falls, I still have to accompany you on the road show!"
"What about Mr. Wang..."
"Don't rush me, I don't even have a shadow of the script yet."
When Xu Kun came out of Feng Xiaogang's office, he was in a good mood.
If Thailand really wants to introduce relevant policies, then he has hit the mark.
In order to fire this first shot, Thailand will definitely try its best to provide help. Since the domestic review involves foreign relations, it will definitely be lenient.
Then count the dates.
When this film is released, it should be released in the summer of 2008 or the Lunar New Year movie - of course it was the Lunar New Year movie a year ago, and the movie after the new year has not yet been developed. However, because of Xu Kun's development, the Valentine's Day movie has been released recently. Romance films are testing the waters.
Although Xu Kun watched the 2008 Olympics in a cell, he could feel the joyful atmosphere of the whole country in prison.
At that time, even the felons in prison were excited about the prosperity of the country. Taking advantage of this trend, they could make a patriotic movie to heighten the atmosphere, and the box office should not be too bad.
Of course, the premise is to make the movie well, make it passionate and exciting, and make the country proud... The more I thought about it, the more reliable it became. As Xu Kun walked downstairs, he called Chen Xuebin:
"Brother Chen, do you like shemales?"
"Get out!"
"Haha, go to Thailand for me, take Brother Li and Huang Bin with you - just find the old Thai man who gave us the award and ask if Thailand will launch any support plan for foreign films recently."
The reason why Lao Chen was asked to bring Huang Bin with him was because Xu Kun discovered through recent contacts that Huang Bin was obviously more interested in business operations in the circle than being an assistant, and he was indeed the material.
"Is it the one you were talking about last night?"
"Yes, if we can take advantage of Thailand's policy adjustment, the matter will be half done!"
"But didn't there just be a coup over there?"
Chen Xuebin hesitated and said: "The military overthrew the Chinese prime minister. Will this affect us?"
"Probably...no?"
Xu Kun then remembered that Thailand had just had a coup last month. He was a little unsure for a moment, so he said: "Why don't you wait first and let's find out the news. If there are no troubles for those who go for tourism and business, you can go again." Not too late.”
"Okay, then, your sister-in-law also said that she would like to visit Singapore, Malaysia and Thailand if she has the chance."
“I will cover all the fees when the time comes!”
"I'm just waiting for your words. I'll contact Li Yixiang and Huang Bin later and get the visas done first."
Hang up.
The elevator had stopped at the third floor, but Xu Kun hesitated for a moment, but instead of stepping out of the elevator, he pressed the button for the second floor again.
Since Tianshang Zhixi came to the country, he has been keeping him at Huayi and LeTV for remote care. Now that he is here, he should go to the second floor to take a look.
When they arrived on the second floor, they could hear the noise coming from the practice room far away. As Xu Kun followed the sound and approached, he remembered that there seemed to be a surveillance camera in his office that was not used much.
It is better to dismantle this line later, lest it be used by others instead of not being used by yourself.
In the practice room, Lee Ji-yeon and Qin Bo-ra, members of the four-member Tianzhixi group, were resting in the corner, while Kim Bo-kyung and Hong Sung-mi were talking in half-baked Mandarin while supervising the training of more than a dozen trainees.
Seeing Xu Kun coming in from outside, not only the four people from Tianshang Zhixi were extremely excited, but even the dozen trainees were screaming.
Seeing this scene, Xu Kun felt that he had forgotten something, but he couldn't remember it for a while.
"Stay focused!"
Jin Baojing yelled loudly, but when he saw that several trainees turned a deaf ear, they directly stepped forward and beat him with a pointer.
Those trainees actually endured it silently and returned to the queue obediently.
At this time, the other three people from Tianshang Zhixi trotted to Xu Kun and bowed in unison.
Xu Kun asked with a smile: "How is it? Are you still adaptable in China?"
“China is great!”
Li Zhiyan immediately replied: "If possible, we hope to stay in China for long-term development."
Although there are still some problems with the accent, the words were spoken quite smoothly.
She is relatively talented, and although the other three are a little behind, they are already a world of difference from a few months ago.
There was no hope before, and there were specialized personnel responsible for negotiations, so they had stayed in China for half a year and didn't learn much Chinese.
But now all their hopes are in China, and the upward momentum is also obvious. Xu Kun can provide what SM cannot provide; China can provide what South Korea cannot provide.
Therefore, they learned Mandarin on their own initiative without any supervision.
