Chapter 6: Set for Summer Release
Seven or eight days after the script for "crazy stone" was submitted, the head of distribution for China Film Group Corporation called him and asked him to come to China Film Group Corporation.
When Li Chen entered the private room, the China Film Group Corporation representative who was in charge of Li Chen smiled and stood up, saying,
"Director Li Chen, let me introduce you. This is Han Dong from our China Film Group Corporation."
Han Dong? Wasn't that Han Sanping, the second-in-command of China Film Group Corporation, Vice Chairman and Deputy General Manager, known as Han Sanye?
Han Sanping was wearing an ordinary white shirt, but his aura was anything but ordinary.
It was clearly the natural air of a superior, developed from years of giving orders.
"The script is good. It should be approved in about a week. Do you need investment?"
Filming officially began on September 2nd.
"I won't say anything extra, but for post-production, please come back to the school."
"Haha, then never mind. Next Time you need anything, you can come to China Film Group Corporation. Whether it's funds or people, China Film Group Corporation can help you solve it."
Han Sanping extended his right hand, and Li Chen stepped forward two paces, grasping his hand with both of his own.
"Haha, you can rest assured, Teacher Li."
He advised him not to be so impatient.
Are young people today all so efficient?
Efficient? Are you kidding?
But thinking of the "moutou" incident, Li Chen silently sighed for Han Sanye in front of him.
On June 30th, all the actors came to the company to sign contracts.
But the reply he received was that they had already found someone.
lost in thailand is scheduled for August 15th.
After all, his small investment was not even considered a small-Time venture in the eyes of others.
"Hmm, what do you think of our film industry?" Han Sanping changed the subject and asked.
In Han Sanping's car.
Li Chen thought for a moment and said, "I think that starting with Director Zhang's Hero, the film industry will enter a period of rapid development."
In the Acting Department's professional class, Luo Jin listened attentively, while Zhu Yawen beside him was dozing off a bit.
"Han Dong is right, but our generation certainly can't compare to you. We've just caught up with a good era."
"However, the production fees that should be given still need to be given."
He picked up his cell phone, looked at it, and quickly lowered himself to answer, "Director Li."
"Counting it up, you and I are still from the same school."
Holding the script in a document bag.
Han Dong indeed took good care of him. In mid-July, there was The Matrix Reloaded.
"Yes, I'm in class. Okay, I understand. Don't worry, I'll definitely be there on Time."
"I wouldn't dare. You are a senior. Just call me Li Chen."
"Good."
The dinner party ended, and both sides exchanged phone numbers.
After Han Sanping sat down, Li Chen and the China Film Group Corporation people sat on either side of him.
Teacher Li nodded upon hearing the choices, saying, "Not bad, these people are indeed as cheap and practical as you said."
Han Sanping and the representative who was in charge of Li Chen sat in the back row.
How could anyone be like him, with one film just finished and not yet released, and another already in production?
"Especially commercial films will quickly become the mainstream. This is an inevitable trend for the country joining the WTO."
On August 8th, there was another Charlie's Angels: Full Throttle.
"Even if I lose money, I can't let my own people lose money."
"For the film industry, it will definitely be more beneficial than harmful, and more investors will enter the film and television industry."
Li Chen guessed correctly. This big shot immediately lost interest when he heard three million.
"Haha, sit down and talk."
Chen Kaige's The Promise announced that it would be exclusively invested and produced by China Film Group Corporation, with a budget of 300 million and a global release.
Han Sanping listened very carefully, and finally nodded, saying, "Not bad, young man, you have ideas. The future of the film industry will still depend on you post-80s."
While he was half-asleep, the vibrating sound of his cell phone rang.
This second film is out already?
He picked up the cell phone from under the table and looked, it wasn't his.
"However, as the quantity increases, it will probably be difficult for the quality to keep up."
They set a Time to meet in Chongqing at the end of August.
What does this child's family do? They must have a mine at home to dare to squander like this.
"Help as much as you can with the promotion and distribution."
There was a lot of discussion online.
What's going on? Didn't he just finish filming one, and it hasn't even been released yet?
During the meal, Han Sanping smiled and said, "I was in a meeting at the General Administration two days ago and saw that you submitted another script."
Luo Jin nodded, saying, "Yes, Director Li called and said that starting tomorrow, he will be taking the crew to do ground promotions."
Screenwriter: Li Chen
On June 25th, the General Administration's public notice board showed the filing information:
Film Title: "crazy stone"
"He's a young man with ideas, but this kind of small-budget, fast-food comedy film is destined not to make much of a splash."
Xu Zheng and Wang Baoqiang took the lead, with several female characters distributed on both sides like the two wings of a plane.
In addition to the eye-catching styling and expressions of the two leading actors,
the Appearance of several supporting actresses also attracted a lot of attention.
"Haha, Director Li Chen is indeed young and promising."
"I toast to Han Dong. Thank you in advance, Han Dong. I will definitely speak up if I need anything."
Zhu Yawen heard Luo Jin's voice and leaned over, whispering, "Is it Director Li Chen from the Director Department?"
"I understand, Han Dong."
He couldn't afford to provoke them; he didn't want to die before he even started.
Li Chen ignored these, only the box office could silence those who were watching with amusement.
"At the same Time, more talent will enter the ranks of film and television practitioners."
But the current situation can only be described as heaven and earth.
The crew staff will go ahead in mid-August to prepare.
The TV series he starred in, "Sunshine Rainy Season," had just finished filming.
It stirred up a thousand waves.
The Promise has completed its casting and will begin filming after this year.
Li Chen treated everyone to a meal as an introduction.
He contacted several of the main actors for crazy stone, and fortunately, all of them had available schedules, making them cheap and practical.
Teacher Li called Li Chen to his office.
Luo Jin glanced, and indeed it was him, smiling and whispering, "I'm sorry, did I disturb your beautiful dream?"
Filing Unit: Rong Chen Film and Television Co., Ltd.
There are already posters for lost on journey in the cinema.
Zhu Yawen shivered, completely losing his sleepiness.
He then looked again, frowned, and said, "Lao Luo, your cell phone is ringing."
Although Zhu Yawen's voice was low, it was still heard by the girl in front.
This person was Andy Lau's classmate at TVB.
It sounded quite scary.
Li Chen was satisfied. This Han Dong's meeting with him today was probably more out of curiosity than a desire to invest.
But it was clear that he had a good impression of himself.
"Yes, Han Dong. It's still a small-budget film."
Movies are not fast food; you can't just throw them together and eat them.
Since Hong Kong's Luo Jin came to the mainland, he has remained lukewarm and unnoticed.
"Uh, to be honest, Han Dong, if this film were like Director Chen's The Promise, even if you didn't offer, I would have to beg you for help."
A line of text at the top of the poster was very confident: 2003's most anticipated hilarious road comedy.
However, what was done was done, and Teacher Li couldn't change it. He ended with, "Try to find actors from the school."
"China Film Group Corporation also arranged a media press conference and TV program interviews. I heard Director Li say that it might even be shown on Six Princess."
"That's awesome! I starred in a TV series, but compared to you, it feels so inferior!"
