Chapter 373 Visiting Team
The original cast of "Crazy Stone" was a little too thin...
Since Shen Xudong took over, he must upgrade it.
He wasn't worried about whether Ning Hao could control such actors - they were all good actors, and they basically didn't get any money or a token remuneration.
That's Sun Honglei, who signed a contract to perform for twenty days and received a salary of 30,000 yuan;
Everyone knows this is a good show!
After Feng Yuanzheng received the script, he called the next day and agreed to star...
There is only one Jingjing left, and I need to find a Chongqing girl for this one.
Shen Xudong happened to know someone, Huang Xiaolei!
Ask her to come over and make a guest appearance.
The actors gathered together, and Ning Hao led the photographer directly to Chongqing.
Shen Xudong still has something to do. He went to visit the "Soldier Assault" team...
To be more precise, I went to see the preparations for "Soldier Assault".
…
Xu Sanduo in "Soldier Assault" was tailor-made for Wang Baoqiang. If he didn't think of the role of Xu Sanduo, it would definitely be him!
Then Chengcai, Shi Jin, Wu Liuyi, Gao Cheng, Yuan Lang, Qi Huan, Wu Zhe...
Basically continuation of the original lineup.
Because Huayi Brothers is also a co-producer and invested 6 million, Tianmei Media invested 6 million, and Bayi Studio provided the shooting venue and solved props and other issues...
Copyright belongs to Tianmei Media...
There is no way around this. Shen Xudong is the initiator of the project, and Huayi Brothers will participate later.
In other words, "Soldier Assault" could have been filmed even without the Huayi Brothers.
Why do you want to do it with the Huang brothers?
Cooperation, there are so many reasons!
Moreover, most of the actors in the original "Soldier Assault" have a close relationship with Hua Yi, and Shen Xudong is too lazy to replace them...
Before the crew officially shoots, they will arrange for the actors to train for two months - right in the military camp!
This is a special rule of the crew!
In fact, in the early years of filming, you had to undergo intensive training. After the 1990s, there was less...
No one has done this in recent years, but "Soldier Assault" is a military camp drama, and the actors must be soldiers!
If you play a soldier, you must at least have some military temperament!
The requirements are relatively strict.
Therefore, it is impossible for "Soldier Assault" to use popular actors. Even if the popular actors want to, the management team will not allow it - two months is too long to make money!
A group of actors, the most famous of which is probably Li Chen...
Back to the topic, training is expected to end in August and filming will officially start at the end of August.
So Shen Xudong said he was visiting the crew, rather he was going to see the crew's preparations...
Or talk about the script with Lan Xiaolong.
…
In fact, Shen Xudong came with a mission - to check the accounts.
One-third of the money has been spent on this movie, and filming hasn’t started yet!
He said it was to check the accounts, but he just called the executive producer to understand the situation. He knew that there was no waste on the crew, so he ignored it...
In fact, the entire team of "Soldier Assault" was very poor. For example: Kang Honglei only received a director's fee of 5,000 yuan for one episode of "Soldier Assault"!
Of course Shen Xudong knew this, but he didn't do anything.
Let’s wait until the TV series is aired before giving out red envelopes again!
After checking the accounts, Shen Xudong found Lan Xiaolong: "Brother..."
Lan Xiaolong was quite surprised to see Shen Xudong: "Why are you here?"
"You're bored, come here and take a look..."
"Let's go have a meal, I'll introduce you to someone!"
"OK!"
The two of them randomly found a restaurant, and Shen Xudong took out the script of "Snow Leopard": "Brother, please help me correct it..."
Lan Xiaolong took the script: "Did you write it?"
"Well, the Anti-Japanese War drama... is adapted from an online article called "Pioneer of Special Warfare", but when I wrote it, I felt that the male protagonist was too smooth. Could you please help add a few plots to make him not so smooth..."
Lan Xiaolong nodded: "Xiao Ni, when do you want it?"
"...Don't worry, you can give it to me when you finish the modification... Anyway, it won't be started until next year... Let's not drink anymore, right?"
Lan Xiaolong was not in the habit of drinking, so he nodded: "Then four dishes!"
Shen Xudong frowned: "Four dishes? Didn't you say you would introduce your friends to me?"
"He eats less!"
"...who is it?"
"My name is Zhang Yi, "Soldier Assault", I asked him to audition Xu Sanduo, and Lao Kang gave him Shi Jin..."
"...Zhang Yi?"
Lan Xiaolong was curious: "Do you know him?"
Shen Xudong quickly waved his hand: "I don't know...he doesn't need to participate in the training?"
"He is a soldier himself. What kind of training is this?"
…
Zhang Yi has a very good relationship with Lan Xiaolong. Both of them are members of the Comrades Art Troupe of the BJ Military Region.
According to Shi Hang, for a while, Shi Hang and Lan Xiaolong lived together. Zhang Yi, who was still a drama actor at the time, came to ask for advice with a script he had written about the bandit hero Yang Zirong, "Brothers Zonggui"...
Shi Hang and Lan Xiaolong were worrying about writing a script. When they saw a drama actor handing over the script, they deliberately made things difficult for him. They chatted around him and talked about some incomprehensible professional terms that he couldn't understand. He broke out in a sweat and left angrily.
They thought they had scared Zhang Yi away, but unexpectedly, Zhang Yi came again within a few days, and their fate was thus forged.
Later, Lan Xiaolong wrote "Soldier Assault", and the squad leader "Shi Jin" played by Zhang Yi was named after Shi Hang's brother Shi Jin.
Later, when the filming of "Soldier Assault" started, the "Soldier Assault" bar was established. Zhang Yi was the first to register and shamelessly took the ID of "Soldier Assault". 249 was the ID of "Soldier Assault Bar" Lan Xiaolong...
The two bickered and fought in the bar...
Then various main creators would watch or participate.
Then 249 came out of the circle and became the nickname of Lan Xiaolong!
Anyway, several of Lan Xiaolong's subsequent dramas have Zhang Yi - "My Captain, My Group", "The Line of Life and Death", "Goodfellas"...
Later, I actually approached Zhang Yi for "Changjin Lake", but at that time Zhang Yi's schedule was already full and he couldn't squeeze out the time, so he had to miss it!
In addition, "Changjin Lake" was originally called "Winter and the Lion". It was a TV series directed by Kang Honglei...
But Bona was going to make "Changjin Lake", and Lan Xiaolong was rushing to release it. The ready-made script was directly changed into a movie script!
I guess not many people participated...
Therefore, at the end of the film, there is a scene where the 1st Marine Division salutes the Volunteer Ice Sculpture Company during the retreat - a typical traditional media kind of "foreign friends present gave thumbs up" or "foreign reporters present were attracted by this witty and witty The answer amused me. "Poor writing...
So, I didn’t go to the premiere, well, I missed all the promotional activities of “Changjin Lake”!
Shen Xudong still admires Zhang Yi. From a capitalist's point of view, this guy is a workaholic, and he can shoot all year round without any problem!
He and Yang Xiaomi are both Shen Xudong's targets...
They are all workaholics…
But Zhang Yi was a little excited to see Shen Xudong...
It's normal, after all, Shen Xudong is now the golden touch. If he is determined to support an actor, not to mention becoming a star, at least he can become a legitimate celebrity!
With great difficulty, Zhang Yi calmed down:
"Mr. Shen came to visit the class?"
"I came to see my senior brother and asked him to help me revise the notebook I wrote..."
Zhang Yi was curious: "You asked him to change the book?"
"It's an anti-war drama. I don't know much about it. My senior brother is an expert in this field!"
