Chapter 899 Father and Son, Martial Arts

The 2003B01 project team of the Minghu Culture Film and Television Department was formally established in early May.

This code name was formulated internally by the Minghu Culture Film and Television Department. A stands for movies and B stands for TV dramas. But there is a special one, such as "Calabash Baby". As an animated film, its pre-launch code name was set by Li Qian himself. 2002AA01.

This year, Minghu Culture’s internal TV drama projects have been decided to start filming within this year. There are four in total. Taking a short break and not officially joining the group, Liu Ming had no choice but to shoot other people's scenes first. However, the original code of "Never Close My Eyes" was 2003B03.

This code means that it was the third most important TV series in Minghu Culture in 2003.

But now, as the de facto head and host of the Minghu Culture Film and TV Department, Han Shunzhang personally took action, and what he wanted to do was the most important TV series of Minghu Culture this year.

No information was leaked beforehand, so Feng Bicheng didn't even know what the film was going to be, and he was only given the position of an assistant director for casting.

A film director, and the third major director in the domestic film industry who is about to exceed 500 million domestic box office, his name, identity, and celebrity, even if he is not on par with Qin Wei and Li Qian for the time being, at least, he can rely on A low-budget urban black humor movie like "Big Wrist" is about to exceed 500 million at the box office, and he is already qualified to be ranked behind Qin Wei, Li Qian, Du Weiyun, Zhao Meicheng, Liu Chengzhang, Wu Han and other famous directors.

Considering that "Big Wrist" has just stepped down the hugely invested "Lonely Smoke in the Desert", and considering that Liu Chengzhang's upper part "Sword Immortal" is recognized as a hit, in fact, the current domestic director circles say that he is the third person, It's a bit exaggerated and untenable. After all, his qualifications are too low, and it's only a blockbuster movie. However, except for Li Qian and Qin Wei, no one can completely overwhelm him for the time being.

But now, someone wants to invite him to join the crew of a TV series, or to be an assistant director for casting. To be honest, he doesn't have much power. And before joining the crew, the other party didn't want to tell him what the film was going to be like -- but Feng Bicheng agreed.

Lost value?

It seems so.

A TV series, no matter how awesome it is, let alone its assistant director, even if it is the first producer and director, is definitely not worthy of the position of director of 500 million movies.

Ashamed?

Not necessarily.

This is a play of Minghu Culture, and the director is Han Shunzhang, the boss of Minghu Culture's film and television department.

Frankly speaking, if Li Qian hadn't intentionally cultivated it at the beginning, so he gave this "Big Wrist" to himself, but to Han Shunzhang to direct it, would Han Shunzhang not be able to make it?

Will not!

Lao Han is a master's graduate from Shuncheon Film Academy. When it comes to playing movies and TV shows, he is absolutely full of skill and talent, and he is so steady in his work. Maybe his directing ideas will be different from his own, but Feng Bicheng knows it very well. Well, as long as Lao Han shoots according to Li Qian's script, even if he doesn't change it at all, and shoots it completely according to the script, the effect of this movie may not be worse than his own!

In other words, the so-called 500 million film directors are nothing more than Li Qian's mistake!

By mistake, he gave himself this project and asked himself to be in charge of directing, so he had the label of brilliance on his body. If he had chosen Han Shunzhang as the director of this film at the beginning, now, he has 500 million movie stars on his body. The label of the director is Lao Han.

To the outside world, "Big Wrist" has passed 500 million, which is an awesome qualification that he can brag about for many years. Like now, as long as he said that he wanted to make a new movie, countless bosses of film and television companies would rush to his door to give money!

But internally, especially in front of Li Qian and Han Shunzhang, everyone knows exactly what the internal situation is like, and this bullshit cannot be blown up at all.

Even the other way around, when the "500 million film director" received the invitation from Han Shunzhang's assistant director, he would be so excited and grateful that he couldn't help but want to cry.

Because this time, it was Han Shunzhang who stretched out his hand to give him a hand.

Otherwise, no matter how awesome his director with 500 million yuan is, he will still be unable to move an inch within Minghu Culture.

And more importantly, he knew that he could finally continue to do something useful again.

…………

Seeing that Feng Bicheng agreed, Han Shunzhang continued to be so expressionless, and only confessed, "Then you can come to my office to get a copy of the materials later, and think about it first. Tomorrow and the day after tomorrow, let's find a time to hold a meeting." Then the door was closed. left.

Feng Bicheng was excited for a while, and simply cleaned up the first draft of the script printed out on his desk, and then went to Han Shunzhang's office to get the materials.

The code was written on the cover of the document, and Feng Bicheng put it on the desk with some excitement, staring at the words "2003B01" for a long time, looking over and over again.

Unable to hold back the joy in his heart, he took out his cell phone and was the first to call his mother.

After seven or eight seconds, it was picked up over there.

"Hello, Chengzi, I'm Mom. What's the matter?"

"Mom It's okay, I'm fine, I just want to ask, how are you and dad doing recently?"

"Good! Good! There is no illness or disaster. The opening time of your dad's drama was chosen well. It happened to be staggered with your company's "Carrying Love Through to the End". No, it didn't affect it. Your dad just a few days ago He also said that he made a small profit, and then there are second-tier and third-tier TV stations? Right? Besides, there are video tapes, CDs, etc. Once these are sold, your father said, they will definitely make money! Hehe! A good start! "

Feng Bicheng grinned like a child, "That's great! My dad is the best!"

"He's amazing! If you want to say he's amazing, he's still my son! Five hundred million, son, you're amazing!"

"Hey, hey...Actually, the main reason is that the script is good!"

"Well, your dad said it. By the way, son, I see your dad's face these days is much better than before. I mentioned you and talked about how high the box office of your "Big Star" was. Your dad always Nostrils, but in fact, let me tell you, he never sleeps at night, once I peeked into his study and saw him secretly reading those comments on the Internet, all praise you!"

"hehe……"

"You now, don't worry, my son, he really wants you to die! After a while, he will calm down, and I will call you quietly. When you come back, why don't you accompany him? No, you can give him one! I don't believe it, can he not let you in?"

"Hey! Hey! Good! I'll knock one for my dad!"

"That's right! Grandpa! Hey... by the way, you called, is... something wrong?"

"Oh, oh... Hey, look at me, I almost forgot! It's like this, mom, haven't I been here all this time? Last time, Mr. Li and the others at the company took the initiative to protect me , That matter, it’s not a complete mess, it’s over now! Just now, Lao Han, the manager of our company’s film and television department, took the initiative to invite me to be the assistant director of a TV series he is about to prepare. I agreed. gone."

After a pause, he continued: "What I mean is, you can tell my dad that I am here with Minghu Culture and keep it! Let him rest assured that I will save face for him in the future, and I will never Embarrass him again!"

"Oh... oh, TV series... can it work, you are not... you know what a fart!"

Suddenly there was a loud shout on the phone, which made Feng Bicheng subconsciously move the phone away from his ear, and then listened to the other side of the phone, his father said loudly: "Where did you fall, just get up from there! TV series What's the matter? Oh, you made a movie that sold well, so you're awesome? Shit, shit! Shit, shit, let me tell you! People, you have to know how much you weigh! Can you drink five catties of Lao Bai in one gulp? Your drinking capacity is only three cups!"

A smile appeared on Feng Bicheng's face, and he quietly listened to the roar on the other end of the phone.

"Besides, I'm just filming TV series, what's wrong? I've been filming TV series all my life!"

"Oh, that's fine, if you have the ability, you can bring your son back, and you can scold him face to face! What's the matter with eavesdropping on my phone call!"

"Who eavesdropped on your phone call! I just heard you say that the TV series is not suitable! Oh, you are so loud, you are not allowed to hear me! What does he like to do? It's none of my business! It's better to be out there!"

Feng Bicheng sniffed his nose, rubbed his eyes with his hand, and then suddenly shouted into the microphone loudly, "Dad, I got it! This time I will do my best and be a good person!"

The phone stopped instantly.

I vaguely heard a few grunts over there, and after a while, my mother said, "Okay, your dad has overheard what you said, and I drove him away! Chengzi, is there anything else? "

Feng Bicheng sniffed his nose and smiled, "It's okay, Mom, hang up!"

…………

Putting down the phone, Feng Bicheng didn't recover for a while.

When he came back to his senses, he seemed to see everything differently—if before, everything in front of him seemed to be gloomy, but now, it seems that everything around him, the desks, chairs, sofas and coffee tables in the office Computers, even ashtrays and tea cups all have a soul-stirring color in an instant.

Let out a breath slowly.

Feng Bicheng sat down, took the materials, and stared at "2003B01" for two seconds, thinking, this might be the most impressive TV series in his life.

open.

The first page is some basic introduction of this TV drama project.

Martial arts drama!

It turned out to be a martial arts drama!

Look again, the planned investment is 23 million!

My God, "The Matrix" is said to be a major sci-fi production, but the plan that Li Qian arranged for was only in the early 30 million!

Oh, by the way, it is said that the American film company called Oriental Dream will also invest 8 million U.S. dollars, so in the end, the actual investment is about 25 million U.S. dollars, or 50 million Chinese yuan.

But now, a martial arts TV series actually plans to invest 23 million yuan!

Back then when everyone was on good terms, I heard Han Shunzhang and the others talk about spending money on the special effects of "Legend of the New White Snake", which made the drama's investment very high, but in fact, if some recycled special effects department Excluding expenses such as equipment purchases, the total investment did not exceed 20 million.

In that era, it was the era of the reckless rise of the Minghu Culture Film and Television Department. Regardless of Li Qian as the director, and Han Shunzhang as the executive producer, they were not yet mature, and slight waste and loss of control of expenses were unavoidable. .

But now, it's not like that year.

Even in the domestic film industry, large investments and large productions are now commonplace, with an investment of 23 million yuan, it can still be regarded as a medium-sized production in the film industry.

With such an investment in a martial arts drama, it is no wonder that it is listed as the number one TV drama project of the Ministry of Film and Television this year.

After carefully reading the first page, although he still only knew that it was a martial arts drama, Feng Bicheng still felt more and more confident in his heart, and then turned the page.

Outline of the story, no.

But the list of characters and actors is a long one.

Feng Bicheng's job was originally to cast the role as an assistant director, so of course, this material was specifically for this part of the job.

There are several requirements for the male number one, but the female number one is too simple, so even though the male number one is at the top, Feng Bicheng still subconsciously sees the female number one first.

very simple -

Female No. 1: Jiang Yiyi is tentatively.

Whoa!

That is to say, this play is definitely for Jiang Yiyi's praise!

Think about it, that girl is really pretty! However, although the star of "Princess Returning the Pearl" made the two heroines extremely popular, the role of the maid she played, Jin Suo, was always half popular.

But it doesn't matter!

Back then, my father took me to attend Li Qian's mentor's birthday celebration, and I saw with my own eyes how close this Jiang Yiyi and Li Qian are - this is the real direct line of the teacher!

It must be serious to hold it!

Moreover, to be selected by Li Qian to praise her in the play, it must be the same!

After watching the female one, look back at the male one.

This requirement is quite detailed.

Male No. 1: The required height is 173-178, and the age is 20 to 28. Handsome, moderate build, not too smart, simple and honest face required, a little stupid, but full of righteousness. A certain foundation in martial arts or fighting can be given priority. Students or graduates majoring in sports martial arts related colleges, students majoring in film and television performance, are given priority. Those who are willing to sign into Minghu Culture will be given priority.

Simple and honest? honest?

This requirement... Well, the male protagonists in martial arts novels are not always shrewd. For example, in Mr. Jin Yong’s famous novel, "The Legend of the Condor Heroes", the male protagonist Guo Jing is A very simple and honest person, but he will eventually become a master!

Look again, villain number one.

Requires a height of 175-180, 20 to 28 years old. Handsome and unrestrained, outstanding, with a moderate body shape, excellent facial features, cleverness, and a certain degree of acting skills are required. Don't just pretend to be cool and handsome. Priority will be given to those who meet the three requirements of the same male number one.

I don't know if he just thought of the relationship with Guo Jing in "The Legend of the Condor Heroes". After seeing the request of the leading villain, Feng Bicheng subconsciously thought of the leading villain in that book, Yang Kang.

Then, he vaguely felt that something was wrong.

Can I ask for a recommendation ticket?
