Chapter 688 Casting for "Star You"

The trip to Cannes was not interesting, mainly because there was no sense of participation!

The media focused on the main competition units or the Hollywood blockbusters that came to promote them. Chinese-language films did not gain much voice...

Even "Red Cliff"...

Everyone still dare not spend money!

The prominent positions around the Cinema Palace have been occupied by Hollywood promotional posters...

Each poster takes two weeks and the price ranges from 50,000 to 100,000 euros!

Except for Hollywood, which has deep pockets, few film producers from other countries and regions are willing to invest such a large sum of money...

Tianmei Company's trip to Cannes was expensive. In addition to hosting a cocktail party, it also rented a film festival booth and advertised in the on-site magazine. In this way, it has already invested close to 1.3 million euros!

Plus the staff’s accommodation, meals, transportation…

Therefore, before the closing ceremony, Shen Xudong led a group of people back to China!

Award-winning movies...The award-winning movies in Cannes do not meet the tastes of most mainland audiences. According to Shen Xudong, there is no need to stay and buy any copyright...

However, Chen Xi specifically called to ask for the online copyright of the award-winning movie.

She plans to buy it back and then launch it exclusively on PPTV.

It can be considered as helping to attract users!

So, with a few people left, the price must be very low...

The budget is only 300,000 US dollars, and at least 6 plays must be purchased.

You do the math yourself.

Nowadays, the supervision level of online videos is still relatively loose. Otherwise, "Mao Liar" and "Spicy Next Door" would never have come out!

…

Domestically, earthquakes are still the focus of all media attention and a hot topic of public opinion.

In the entertainment industry, after several donation ceremonies, everyone’s attention has returned to daily life...

After all, you have to eat!

Recently, many people in the industry are paying attention to two things. One is the change of director of "Dream of Red Mansions", which has caused a lot of commotion.

It is said that Director Hu Mei didn’t even have the right to choose actors or make decisions, so she gave up her directorship, and then Director Li Shaohong replaced her as the chief director of "Dream of Red Mansions"...

Hey, sometimes I think some of our directors are really arrogant!

"Dream of Red Mansions" eh!

According to the words of director Wang Fulin: "When making "Dream of Red Mansions", let alone the director who has the ability and wants to show it, you will make a mistake as soon as you show it. As a director, I always hope to produce something new, but "Dream of Red Mansions" cannot do that. With "Dream of Red Mansions" you only have Live every word honestly.”

Oh, regarding the remake of "Dream of Red Mansions", a group of people worked very hard!

You see, the new actors know that it is their famous work, and it may skyrocket, so they are working hard. The veteran actors know that they are filming a famous work, so they dare not neglect it;

Although the expert advisory group does not have the lineup of the 1987 edition, the lineup is quite strong;

Including training, I also took master-level piano, chess, calligraphy and painting, and etiquette classes that cost millions.

Everything is the best lineup, the top arrangement...

It's a pity that Li Shaohong was appointed as the director!

Is Li Shaohong a brave person who is an expert or a fearless person who is ignorant?

Personally, I prefer the latter. After all, she didn't go to school for a few years - she only went to the sixth grade of elementary school, and then she caught up with the historical process. After that, she became a propaganda soldier, resumed the college entrance examination, and entered the directing department...

Directors of their generation often view Chinese literary stories with a playful attitude, so she does not respect "Dream of Red Mansions"...

Among the remakes of four famous classics, "Dream of Red Mansions" is definitely at the bottom!

Ahem...

One more thing, the casting of "Star You"!

This year is very special. Tianmei Company has not broadcast any special hit TV series until May...

Including the entire TV drama market, except for CCTV's new year drama "Crossing the Guandong", there are no TV dramas worth mentioning...

Two TV series produced by Tianmei Company were broadcast, namely "Burn!" "Good-for-nothing" and the spy drama "Infiltration".

"Let it burn! "Waste Material" was broadcast exclusively on Mango Channel, with an average rating of about 1.5, and the highest rating was over 3. It is reasonable to say that it is great, but unfortunately, two dramas "Yun Niang" and "Living with a Smile" were aired at the same time...

The ratings have never been higher than those of these two movies!

"Yun Niang" is the most painful drama in satellite TV's annual ratings list, and "Living with a Smile" is also a drama about family ethics and emotions...

Competing for ratings, it is indeed much weaker!

The ratings are not good, but the topic... is not bad, that is, TVB broadcast "Jewelry" at the same time, and Dragon TV has introduced it simultaneously...

Damn it, the discussion has also been grabbed!

"Let it burn! "Waste Chai" did not achieve a blockbuster effect...

The online broadcast volume is very high. Although it is not a hit, it is still a high-quality work!

As for "Penetration"...

Alas, "The Conspiracy", "Before Dawn", and "Insidious", the spy war trilogy directly pushed the spy war dramas produced by Tianmei to the ceiling, just like "The Hunting Ground" after "Nirvana in Fire"...

Then, "Infiltration" failed to withstand the pressure!

"Infiltration" is also known as "The Undercover Career of a Loser Who Makes Money". It tells the story of Xu Zhongyi, played by Sha Yi, who after being influenced by our party, lurks inside the Kuomintang party, uses his special identity to provide strategic materials to our party's troops in the Northeast, and The process of fighting wits and courage among the agents of the Fruit Party to obtain the "infiltration plan".

The problem is that "Insidious" is awesome!

Your main story is quite similar to "Insidious", but the performance in all aspects is quite different.

"Infiltration" is somewhat embarrassing: if there are any loopholes in the plot, it will appear that the IQ is insufficient, and if the actors are slightly pretentious, they will appear to be unable to hold the scene...

Fortunately, the ratings were okay, but there was also a drama "Heart of an Inch of Grass" during the same period.

The ratings crushed "Penetration" from the beginning to the end. There is no way. "The Heart of the Grass" is a Madonna drama and the favorite of aunties: it tells the story of a remarried woman facing a declining family and a bedridden mother-in-law who is crazy. An ex-wife, a vicious sister-in-law, and a resentful child.

The heroine takes care of a large family every day. She is beaten by her sick ex-wife, scolded by her stepson, and disciplined by her mother-in-law. She works hard without complaining, and because of a family fight, her own daughter fell into the river and drowned;

Later, the heroine's husband died and she decided to support the family.

I raised a large family, including a sister-in-law. My late husband’s son went to college, but my own son was good at studying but gave up on the college entrance examination.

This kind of plot is so invincible that you can't beat it at all. It's like a female version of Silly Pillar...

In short, two consecutive dramas "failed", which made Tianmei very embarrassed.

Although there is "Zhu Xian" in July, "Ruyu's Legend" in September, and "Bu Bu Jing Xin" is to be broadcast in December, for Tianmei, which frequently releases hits, the fact that no hits have been released for five consecutive months is called Creative failure!

The casting for "Star You" is open. The producer and chief screenwriter are named Shen Xudong. The directors are You Dazhi, Jiang Jiajun and Li Xue. The heroine is confirmed to be Fan Bingbing...

The production cost is 35 million!

Public clothing sponsorships include LV, Prada, Chanel, Gucci...and friendly sponsorship from Palm Springs International Apartments...

Direct matching!

Open recruitment for male lead, second male lead, negative lead, second female lead...

And Shen Xudong was in charge of the audition!

With this kind of specification, not to mention the entire entertainment industry, at least more than half of the popular actors are tempted!
