Chapter 488 Chinese Vision
The episode ends here.
Originally, the charity gala was not considered a high degree of attention, but due to the presence of five hongkong movie stars and the presence of Mr. Jackie in person, it received extensive attention from the media from all walks of life.
However, the focus of all the media was on Lorraine.
The outside world even began to speculate whether Lorraine, who created the Chinese supreme opportunity, suddenly came into contact with so many people in the entertainment industry, whether he planned to invest in the entertainment business.
As soon as this speculation came out, it caused quite a chain reaction. Many people found a clue from Lorraine's invitation to Mr. Jackie to speak for Chinese Supreme.
Regarding these speculations from the outside world, although Lorraine's plan was more or less leaked, Lorraine didn't feel anything wrong.
In the past two days, he has already finished the script of the future charity movie, at least the general plot is connected. What he needs to do now is to find a more professional screenwriter to write the script. Easy to shoot. As for the director, as well as the producer and so on, you need to ask Mr. Jackie a lot. If it goes well, I hope to be able to borrow Mr. Jackie's royal team.
And the general plan has been made, so Lorraine feels pretty good about this false rumor.
Taking advantage of the residual heat of inviting an international superstar and five Chinese-speaking superstars to the charity party this time, I took the opportunity to announce that the Rockwell Group would set up a film company and immediately start shooting a charity film. In this way, it may be possible to make the film, at the beginning of shooting, receive high attention from all aspects.
As we all know, no matter how good a movie is, if there is no early publicity, it will not be able to obtain a considerable box office income. For the well-funded Rockwell Group, these pre-publicity costs are not a problem at all.
Simply, take advantage of this moment of outside speculation, and make a statement directly?
Of course, before announcing that the Rock Group will start investing in the film business, it must first do a good job in the pre-production work related to the film. This includes the invitation of actors, the cooperation of producers, the advance greeting of radio and television, etc...
…………
the next day.
At four o'clock in the afternoon, Lorraine personally rushed to the hotel where Mr. Jackie and the five superstars stayed.
During afternoon tea, Lorraine invited six of them to sit in the box of the luxurious tea restaurant under the hotel.
Some exquisite meals, several pots of tea made from the best tea leaves were placed on the round table, Lorraine, Jackie, Azu, Gu Zai, Ning Feng, Qing Yun and Ga Hui sat together.
Everyone had a smile on their face.
Lorraine has simply told everyone here what he thinks. Basically, he is going to invest in a film company in the name of the Rock Group, and is preparing to shoot the first film. And the significance of this film is that it is a completely charitable operation.
What is charitable operation?
A full-scale charitable operation means that everyone who participates in or participates in the filming of the film will receive zero return.
And the general mercenary businessmen, once they hear that there is zero return, will definitely shy away from it for the first time. Isn't this enough to eat? How many people are willing to do it?
The answer is: there are quite a few.
At least, occasionally a movie has zero income. For some first-line actors and people in the entertainment industry who are not worried about food and drink, as long as it is meaningful and worthwhile, they are still willing to do it.
Perhaps few people now know that more than ten years ago, nearly twenty years ago, there was a movie called "The Banquet of the Giants". In that movie, a full 202 stars appeared, but all their salaries were donated to disaster area. Not to mention this, let’s talk about the two episodes “The Great Cause of Founding a Country” and “The Great Cause of Founding the Party” two years later. Although they did not follow the philanthropic route, some of them have good operation methods.
If it works like this, the producers won't lose money.
In fact, as Lorraine, who is worth nearly 10 billion, he thought that it doesn't matter if he loses money on his first movie after setting up a film company. The point is to make a name for himself.
... After Lorraine told his thoughts to several big names who were doing it, everyone showed expressions of approval. Maybe it's because under the influence of Big Brother Jackie, they are also more keen to do charity work. In fact, this is a normal psychology of human beings. When the achievements in life reach a certain level, they always want to do something that can benefit the society. matter. Oh, of course, all of this presupposes that this person is a good person.
"Some time ago, there was a major earthquake in Xichuan Province, and all social strata held some fund-raising activities for disaster relief. I think if we use the form of movies to provide charity assistance for the Xichuan earthquake, not only can we achieve The effect of donation can also call on many people to donate actively.——This should be a good proposal."
Lorraine asked again when he saw the six people nodding their heads.
Everyone looked at each other, and finally Big Brother Jackie spoke: "Brother Xiao Luo, your proposal is very good. In fact, we have been donating money to the Xichuan disaster area through various channels, but our influence and appeal have not been enough. To the maximum. If it can be called in the form of a movie... I think the effect must be very good!"
Looking at the smile on Big Brother Jackie's face, Lorraine was sincerely happy.
Cooperating with a superstar who sincerely cares about charity, this time his plan will be successfully implemented.
"Mr. Luo, if you don't mind, we would like to take a look at the script of the movie you are expecting to invest in. If there is no script, you can tell us the general plot direction, meaning and situation. We are actors after all, even for the sake of When making a movie for charity, you also need to read the script." Liu Qingyun, a dark-skinned actor, smiled slightly, and the pair of deep dimples on the corner of his mouth showed that he was very sincere.
For Liu Qingyun Liu Yingdi's proposal, Lorraine readily accepted.
This offer is not distrust, nor is it intended to be politely declined. On the contrary, this shows the serious attitude of Liu Qingyun, the actor, to his work.
Today, Lorraine came prepared, and directly from his briefcase, he took out six general plot synopses, in which he even noted the filming characteristics and style of the film. Lorraine, relying on memory, has tried his best to express the connotation of the film in his own language. I wonder if they can understand it?
However, when he saw everyone's reaction after reading the sloppy script in their hands, Lorraine knew...they had agreed.
This can be seen from the flickering light in his eyes.
"Brother Xiao Luo, are you sure you wrote this? - Hehe, I have to say, you are really a versatile person. Even if you stop doing business one day, we will welcome you in the film industry. At least, you can definitely count. You are a superb screenwriter." As the oldest, oldest and most influential Jackie eldest brother, he naturally took the lead in saying something.
And with his words, the other five big-name superstars also expressed their admiration.
The script in their hands, although it seems a bit rough, but according to Lorraine's way of telling the deep meaning, it concisely expresses the key points and profound meaning of the plot. Even the countless figures of the movie emperor level who read the "book" couldn't help but applaud in their hearts.
"Brother Xiao Luo, the operation method you proposed was actually tried by us in Hongkong in the early 1990s, and the results obtained were quite considerable. Oh, the benefits I am referring to here, It means acting in charity. - Very good, I agree to play, but I have a request..." After a little pause, Jackie brother smiled, "I want to play the role of the one in the last story working in the construction site. A single father, although it is for charity, I still really want to challenge my acting skills."
Hearing Big Brother Jackie's words, Lorraine laughed, hehe, Big Brother Jackie agreed, then... it also means that many friends in the entertainment industry behind him also agreed.
Brother Jackie has always been obliged to do charity work. As long as Lorraine asks, Brother Jackie should call on some actors to appear in this movie.
In addition to Big Brother Jackie, the other five big names have also expressed their opinions one after another. What shocked Lorraine a little is that Col Feng, who made his debut as an idol, even asked to speak out about a father in one of the stories. He said so : "I am also a father now, and I feel that I am quite suitable for this role."
Following his words, the other four also "goed through the back door" to finalize their roles to Lorraine in advance.
Lorraine is quite reassured about the acting skills of each of them. No matter what the role is, he thinks they can interpret it as long as they are serious, so he agreed to each of them's request.
…………
At the end of the afternoon tea time, Lorraine got an unexpected harvest. Along with a happy farewell, Lorraine reached a verbal agreement with Mr. Jackie again.
Big brother jackie promises that he will do his best to gather actors who are willing to star in this charity movie. Moreover, given that Lorraine currently does not have a film production team and contacts, he agreed to introduce some friends in film production for Lorraine, including directors, photographers, screenwriters, producers, etc.…
three days later.
Lorraine arranged for Zhang Luo to hold a press conference through interpersonal relationships.
At the press conference, Lorraine announced that the Rock Group officially began to invest in the film business and established the first film company under the Rock Group.
The name is [Chinese Vision].
