Chapter 375 Art Invitation!

The right to invest first, also called First Look.

This means that works created by contracted directors and screenwriters will be given priority to the contracting parties for investment!

This is how The Original Spacetime and Galloping Pony entered the film industry.

Because when Xiao Ma entered the stage, the stars and big directors had basically been divided up.

It’s hard to say how much room the market will leave for this latecomer, so Xiaoma chose to bind the creator...

It's a pity that Xiao Ma pursues stability-operating movies as a business and focusing too much on risks...

However, movies have never been a "good business"!

You don’t dare to take risks, all you are waiting for is suffering...

It’s not that I didn’t dare to take risks. “Taiping Wheel” was worth 300 million, so I just voted for it...

I just don’t dare to risk investing in “囧”!

However, the contract that Shen Xudong mentioned was not signed to Tianmei Entertainment, but directly to himself: "You sign an agreement with me..."

Lan Xiaolong asked curiously: "What's wrong? Do you have a conflict with the company?"

"It's not... just in case!"

"Okay, I understand..."

Lan Xiaolong agreed, and Shen Xudong turned around and told Zhang Yi: "If you are in a hurry to sign the contract, I will call you and you can go report. If you are not in a hurry, wait until I come back from Chongqing..."

"… Just give me the phone number."

"All right."

Shen Xudong left Gao Fenfen's phone number with him and said by the way: "You can call her later in the evening. I'll talk to her first!"

"…no problem!"

…

Shen Xudong drove directly back to the capital...

Tomorrow I will visit the cast of "Wulin Gaiden".

You can't favor one over the other, you have to get the rain and dew equally!

"Wulin Gaiden" originally wanted to shoot in Huairou, but after asking about the related costs, I simply gave up my thoughts and directly bought two hills in the suburbs of Beijing to build a film and television base called "Pinggu Feilong".

It's said to be a film and television base, but actually it's just an inn!

Of course, Shen Xudong asked the production team to pay attention to protection. Maybe it will be broadcast in the future and it can become a tourist attraction or something...

It can also be regarded as an investment in cultural tourism!

Pinggu is not far from BJ City, only an hour's drive away...

In the car, she first called Gao Fenfen and told her about Zhang Yi, who immediately agreed - she never doubted Shen Xudong's vision!

After hanging up the phone, he dialed the number of Zhang Shouyi, the executive producer of "Wulin Gaiden"...

Sure enough, it was pretty much what he guessed - the crew of "Wulin Gaiden" really saved money. They were almost done filming, and they still had 2 million left of the 12 million yuan...

"...Boss, this is such a shitty place. It's hard to get out and go to the warehouse. Where can we spend money?"

"Don't be too impatient. Give the actors extra meals or give them red envelopes!"

"...Okay, when will you arrive?"

"Tomorrow, it's getting late, I'll find a hotel to stay for one night!"

"good!"

I simply hung up the phone...

The actors of "Wulin Gaiden" all live in a ravine not far from the filming location. Although the conditions are not bad, they are definitely not luxurious, so I won't invite Shen Xudong to stay for one night!

Shen Xudong took a rough look at his surroundings, judged the direction, and then continued to drive forward...

He quite likes driving alone. With Xu Wei's songs playing on the car stereo, he really feels like he is fighting a sword across the world!

While I was humming along, my phone rang.

He took a look and saw that it was Sister Jiuyi!

Um?

Sister Jiuyi?

Why did she suddenly contact him?

…

In the industry, many female celebrities know the news about "The Old Thing"...

The company did not hide the intention of this project, and openly disclosed it - Tianmei Media independently produced it, Jiahe was responsible for the distribution, Shen Xudong wrote the screenplay, and the director Zheng Baorui, the theme is crime + gambling...

Even the synopsis of the plot has been made public: Gao Ni, who dreams of becoming a real casino "crook", tries his best to please the senior masters, and finally succeeds in his studies and starts to make a name for himself in the casino. Soon an unidentified woman appeared next to Gao Ni. It turned out that the real gambling game had just begun...

The cost is 45 million, and the estimated box office goal is to exceed 100 million!

What is this called?

A large commercial film!

But the starring role of Gong Li has been announced. Generally, actresses will immediately retreat when they hear the name of Gong Li.

Fan Jiuyi is obviously not an ordinary actress!

She wants to cut off her buttocks...

Of course, she knew the probability was low, so it didn't matter. Even if the interception failed, she still wanted to get closer to Shen Xudong...

Mainly Shen Xudong's projects are so popular. In 2005, three dramas including "The Fox Wife in the Mountain Village", "Legend of the Xing'anling Hunter" and "Cruel Street" were released, temporarily ranking among the top three in the box office list!

And the reputation is not bad...

This is so rare.

Not only that, he also has "Witness" in August, and "A World Without Thieves" at the end of the year...

What is this called?

Flat lay Chinese movie?

Wang Shuo only made four movies that year!

Sister Jiuyi has some regrets - when filming "The Best in the World", she should have given more strength, why did she let him go?

With an art exchange relationship, it’s easier to talk about anything!

Well, at that time, Sister Jiuyi was only thinking about going south to break into the Hong Kong circle, so naturally she didn't care much about a fledgling screenwriter like Shen Xudong.

So, I didn’t bother…

It has only been two years, but Shen Xudong is already a well-known filmmaker in the industry!

She has been thinking about how to reconnect with Shen Xudong...

I just happened to listen to a song called "The Most Angel" and it sounded very good. When I asked about it, I found out that Shen Xudong wrote the lyrics and composed the music. I simply used this as an excuse to invite Shen Xudong to help her write a song...

Well, Sister Jiuyi is also going to release an album - "Just Begun".

Of course, the main contributor to the recording of this album was actually Wu Kebo. Chengtian failed to recruit Wang Jinghua, so they had to conquer each one one by one, with the target being Fan Jiuyi...

When "Just Begun" was being recorded, funds were tight and the trip almost failed.

Wu Kebo "hero saves beauty" and unconditionally sponsored her 1 million...

Logically speaking, Sister Jiuyi should thank Wu Kebo...

But she didn’t, and she was also a member of society—accept the sugar coating and forget about the cannonballs…

When Shen Xudong heard that Sister Jiuyi asked him to sing, he subconsciously refused: "...asking me to write songs? I'm not very good at it!"

"...It's not that I have no inspiration...I'm not a professional musician, and the few things I wrote before were all by chance!"

"...I'm ready to go home..."

Then I heard Sister Jiuyi on the opposite side say: "How about we meet and discuss it in detail? If we don't meet, I'm afraid you won't have any inspiration, so I'll go to your house!"

Shen Xudong swallowed, and then said seriously: "...I'm still on the way, and it will take at least an hour to get home...How about I go find you?"

Sister Jiuyi on the other end of the phone did not hesitate and answered directly: "That's okay, I'm at XX Hotel..."

Shen Xudong hung up the phone, then stepped on the accelerator and accelerated...

It was tacitly understood that this was not an invitation to sing, it was clearly an invitation to art!

Shen Xudong has long been aware of these subtexts in the circle...

Why was there no rejection?

Damn it, why should I refuse?

That's Fan Bingbing! If there’s anything to hesitate about, come on in!
