If Li Bing is compared to a dragon in the abyss, then Long Fan, who is a latecomer, can be regarded as a fierce tiger. The retention of these two old and new representatives finally stabilized Huayi's turbulent military morale.
So much so that when Wang Zhongjun faced reporters¡¯ questions about punishment for ¡°artists unilaterally tearing up their contracts¡±, he could calmly say, ¡°We won¡¯t stop them if they want to leave. Just a small amount of liquidated damages is enough. Huayi¡¯s gate is open to these people.¡± Always open.¡±
Wang Jinghua, who saw the news, could only sigh with emotion, "With these two people here, it will only be a matter of time before Huayi gets back on its feet."
Li Bing is now responsible for supporting the facade, while Long Fan, who can always come up with good scripts, is responsible for creating blood for Huayi together with Feng Xiaogang and other great directors.
In order to ensure that Long Fan can stay, Huayi also spent a huge amount of money. In addition to giving Long Fan studio corresponding signing artists and commission rights, it also promised in advance that it would reserve part of the listing plan for Long Fan in the next two years. Equity is a bargaining chip for long-term attraction. Even if Long Fan leaves in the future, this equity will still be retained by him.
In the eyes of most people, the subscription of Huayi shares is just a piece of pie that can be seen but not touched. It will be two or three years after its listing. Who would be willing to believe in its true value.
But Long Fan, who could witness the development trajectory of another parallel world through the system, no longer had such worries. Later, an artist from Huayi subscribed for 1.8 million shares of Huayi Company for three yuan per share. One year later, the stock price skyrocketed to Being worth over 100 million is the best explanation of interests.
Long Fan, who doesn¡¯t know much about investment skills, has no reason to give up on this potential piece of pie. It¡¯s not a bad thing to be prepared for a rainy day. Especially when your own capital is still very tight.
Just as Long Fan expected, Wang Jinghua, who had not long left home, also encountered a media battle. This was largely related to the rumored new employer she went to - a Japanese agency, Orange Sky Entertainment, a subsidiary of the nec production department. .
There is obviously a dramatic conflict between the rumors that "Chengtian Entertainment Company has a Japanese background" and the current melody of celebrating the 60th anniversary of the victory of the Anti-Japanese War. For those angry youth viewers who only see the superficial and ugly content, there is usually only one point of view, no matter what you do. Anyone who has anything to do with Japan will be scolded even as a lackey.
" In this regard, it is not only Wang Jinghua who has a headache, but also the artists with higher exposure who she took away.
Even the senior executives of nce China District Headquarters had to jump out to refute the rumors.
"Cai Li, the public relations director of nec company's China headquarters, denied that nec company was involved in this incident. He also clarified that 'Chengtian Entertainment' has no relationship with nec. Cai Li also said that nec company is engaged in communications and electrical appliances, and the company does not There is no investment in the entertainment industry. That company has no affiliation with its nec company. The nec company's industry and the entertainment industry are two different industries, and they do not want to get involved in disputes in the entertainment industry."
Seeing such reports in the newspaper, Long Fan himself was more or less glad that he was not too involved in this storm.
¡ª¡ª
While the Huayi turmoil has not subsided, another piece of entertainment news has once again occupied a prominent position in major media, and that is the work arranged by Huayi for this year's two main players.
"Directed by Feng Xiaogang, with Long Fan as the screenwriter, the movie "Hands Up" starring Guo Da, Fan Changjiang, and Li Bing is about to start shooting in Henanhui County. This is this year's New Year's masterpiece directed by Feng Xiaogang, and it is also the first film that Long Fan has participated in since his debut. ¡¯s first film job.¡±
Whether it is television media or newspapers and magazines. The news that Long Fan, Feng Xiaogang, and Li Bing are teaming up to film a new movie spread like wings everywhere.
After experiencing the catastrophe, Huayi said that she had not suffered much losses, but in fact she could not even find actors from her company for her new drama. She finally showed her talents again and wanted to use these three mainstays of Huayi. Power makes a beautiful comeback.
?????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????:??????????????????????????????????????:????????????????????????????????????????????????????????? Specially joining?three artists with different styles at?such a sensitive moment is like holding a military parade. Long Fan was finally taken out as the last weapon to appear.
Although there is no starring role, Long Fan has received extraordinary attention as a screenwriter. Feng's humorous Lunar New Year jewels are at the forefront. Whether Long Fan can cooperate with Feng Xiaogang to create a classic Lunar New Year movie again has become the most concerned topic.
With the identity of the Spring Festival Gala screenwriter, people no longer have as strong doubts about Long Fan's strength as they did at first, but they have different styles of Long. Feng and Feng hold different views on whether they can cooperate smoothly.
¡°Many people have already concluded that it is purely playing with fire when they first heard that a war comedy was going to be filmed and it had an anti-Japanese theme.
Those commentators who have always been venomous made fun of Long Fan's work "Sword of Immortality", "It seems that this work that may not even pass the review has not awakened the fantasy of Wang Zhongjun, the boss of Huayi. Is it going to knock down the radio and television for the second time?" The gunpoint of the General Administration is up? Anti-Japanese films are fine, but inIf the Korean people add jokes to their blood, they will probably die worse than the Japanese devils. "
Perhaps influenced by external comments, several Japanese actors who were originally scheduled to participate also gave up their performances due to rumors and chose to remain silent in response to the troubled times.
"Rumors are stronger than tigers." In the coffee shop, Feng Xiaogang threw a newspaper on the table, leaning on his broad forehead and said in a humorous tone, "We didn't even know what we were going to shoot, but we already started making noises. These unscrupulous reporters They."
At this time, in addition to Long Fan and Li Bing, there were also two other main actors, Guo Da and Fan Changjiang.
Now that the planning work for the Lunar New Year film has begun, and Huayi has put all its efforts into publicity in this regard, it feels like a last-ditch effort.
The company is making great efforts, so Feng Xiaogang, Long Fan and others naturally cannot take it easy and start the pre-production work of the film early, including the selection of filming locations, recruitment of staff, meetings with the main creative group, etc.
Now is the first time the leading actors have met after finalizing the script.
"If I hadn't read the script and it was Director Feng who came to shoot, to be honest I wouldn't have dared to accept it." Guo Da, who was wearing a dark green coat and a black sweater, said with a hint of northern Shaanxi roughness in his voice. , "There has been so much commotion in the industry recently, so I thought it would be safer to act in a sketch."
"You have to be able to withstand scolding in this business. They just don't scold you after reading the work." Fan Changjiang, who was sitting directly opposite Long Fan, said in a slightly higher tone. Different from the funny images created in the past, Fan Changjiang in real life basically has a serious attitude, short in stature, but not low in momentum.
As the female lead, Li Bing sat next to Long Fan, listening to people chatting, leaning on the sofa and reading the script. From time to time, she asked Long Fan in a low voice for a few words about the plot arrangement.
In addition to putting his coat on his legs, Li Bing also spread a thin blanket he carried with him on his knees.
In the summer, Long Fan can also be understood as to prevent wearing a skirt, but now the actress is still wearing jeans and is so prepared to be armed
"Sister Bing, aren't you hot? You are covering up so much in such a warm day." While chatting, Long Fan couldn't help but ask. The temperature in the cafe was basically around 20 degrees, which was quite warm. He felt a little sorry for the person next to him. The actress feels hot.
Hearing this, Li Bing looked away from the script, looked at Long Fan and said with a smile, "I have injured my muscles and bones before filming, and my knees hurt when exposed to the wind. You may not feel it, but if there is no cover, even here your legs will hurt." It¡¯s going to be cold.¡±
"Uh so cruel" Long Fan was speechless. He didn't expect that this beautiful actress who looked beautiful on the surface had such an injured side.
"During the rainy season in the summer, Bingbing has to stay overnight with the electric blanket on." Feng Xiaogang added, "It's not easy to film. Bingbing is too strong, so she should save her energy."
"It's not as exaggerated as what you said." Li Bing looked at Director Feng Xiaogang and shook his head, "I'm not bad, I can still work hard for another ten or eight years. Director Feng don't think twice about me in the future."
"How dare you, how dare you." Feng Xiaogang, who has always been regarded as a boss, responded humorously, "Just don't mind my face."
According to the character arrangement, Uncle Guo in "Hands Up" is undoubtedly played by Guo Dalai, and Private Nakamura, the bandy-legged Japanese soldier with the most jokes in the film, is played by Fan Changjiang. Both of them are also original versions. Starring in it.
And the female lead who plays the unnamed opening narrator "I" and "my mother" and "my mother's mother is also my grandma" was replaced by Li Bing from the original Liu Xiaowei.
Because the Japanese actor who originally played the Japanese officer temporarily gave up the performance, Feng Xiaogang had to replace it with a local actor and find an old actor he liked to play the role.
¡° Looking at the investment and cast size of the entire film, it pales in comparison to Feng Xiaogang¡¯s previous works.
Last year, Feng Xiaogang's costume film "The Dinner Party" cost 13 million U.S. dollars. Although the box office exceeded 100 million, the investment was barely recovered. And now the budget of "Hands Up" is less than 10 million "Chinese coins". The gap is obvious. This is why Huayi is so keen on launching new films. No matter whether he can make enough money or not, life or death will not matter. Will lose money
¡°I heard that Feng Xiaogang was coming to shoot a movie. Not only did the local government of Henanhui County, where the filming is located, promised to provide free shooting locations, but also the local extras would be responsible for it. The crew only needed to provide lunch boxes and basic wages.
In order to cheer up the company, Li Bing and Long Fan, the most valuable members of the crew, both signed a special agreement, which is "share according to the proportion of box office, no money will be collected without remuneration", which is quite similar to Feng Xiaogang's attitude when he first joined Huayi .
¡° In this way, except for Fan Changjiang and Guo Da, even the wages have been saved by more than half. It can be said that Feng¡¯s history is the best?A money-saving Lunar New Year comedy.
"Tell me, will people laugh at me if this matter spreads?" When asked about the budget, Li Bing couldn't help but want to laugh when he heard Feng Xiaogang say that less than six million would not even cover the investment in a TV series. , "Don't let me leave based on the value of my next movie."
"But if the box office exceeds 100 million like Director Feng's last movie, can we just give it to Sister Bing?" Long Fan said half-jokingly, holding his chin, "After deducting the investment amount, the 5% share is nearly 5 million. Catching up with the total investment in the film"
Feng Xiaogang glanced at Long Fan and said, "You are humble and ambitious, but I like what you said. Come on, I wish our new drama a box office of over 100 million!"
Both Guo Da and Fan Changjiang smiled and raised their coffee cups. They didn¡¯t say anything, but they murmured in their hearts, "These guys are funnier than themselves"
