Chapter 493 Split into two

"I arrived at the crew at noon."

Seeing Li Luo stop in confusion, Ren Dahua walked slowly by and said, "Because of what happened two days ago, Director Liu is also the person in charge of Zhedong Film. This time he came here to act as a peacemaker."

Listening to the other party's words, a smile appeared on Li Luo's lips.

Don’t be fooled by the uproar in the past two days.

But since Hong Xibao opened fire, Zhedong Film has never responded to the incident in public.

No way to respond.

If you jump out again and pull it.

When the time comes, it won’t just be Hong Xibao who opens fire!

Wong Pak-ming doesn't need to say a word, as plenty of people will stand up to speak up for him. Moreover, the "Ip Man" crew is not just comprised of Hong Yubao, Simon Yam also has deep connections in the Hong Kong circle.

If it affects eating.

At that time, I won't be polite at all.

Zhedong Film's desperate firing was like stirring up a hornet's nest.

Each one is more difficult than the other.

Now under multiple pressures, Zhedong Film quickly realized that continuing the fuss would only serve to make things difficult for the "Ip Man" crew.

The more you make a fuss, the more attention you will attract.

So these two days.

Zhedong Films and Wang Jiawei decisively chose to shut up.

But the tree wants to be still, but the wind does not stop.

With Wong Pak-ming's shrewd personality, he would never let go of the opportunity to hype the movie. He continued to let his subordinates pull the matter up and use Wong Kar-wai's fame to continue to hype up the movie.

It's like a dog-skin plaster, once it's stuck on you can't tear it off.

This made Wang Jiawei very annoyed.

For this reason, Liu Zhenwei had to fly from Hong Kong Island to Shanghai and take the initiative to express his request for peace.

While thinking.

Li Luo came to the monitor location.

"Hey."

Liu Zhenwei quickly stood up and stretched out his hands with a smile on his face: "This must be Mr. Li, right? I have heard of your name for a long time. Mr. Li is indeed very handsome. I am Liu Zhenwei, and I am very happy to meet Mr. Li."

"Hello, Director Liu."

Don't hit someone who smiles at you. Li Luo politely shook the other person's hand.

Look at this face.

He couldn't help laughing for some reason.

This famous director, who once played Patriarch Bodhi in the movie "A Chinese Odyssey", seems to be Wang Jiawei's professional ass-wiping player.

This was the case with "Ashes of Time", which gathered a large number of film actors and actresses.

Wang Jiawei kept taking pictures.

I had no idea what I was filming.

Or rather.

Not sure what to want at all.

This situation made the actors feel at a loss, and they had to face the yellow sand in the northwest every day. Even more miserable were the investors. You have to know that at that time, the shooting period of Hong Kong films usually only took a month or so.

Even faster.

The director doesn’t know what to shoot, the actors don’t know what to act, but money flows like water every day.

The wrap date is still a long way off.

It is said that the situation at that time reminded the investors of their predecessor who was so angry that he was hospitalized because of the disastrous box office failure of "Days of Being Wild" that caused the film company to go bankrupt.

And the halo of being a sucker was looming on his head.

Think of that situation.

The investors immediately put pressure on Wang Jiawei.

There is a specific reason why the older generation of Hong Kong and Taiwan artists generally do not act like big shots. If an envelope with a peanut is sent to your door, I want to see if you have the guts to act like a big shot.

Therefore, the pressure exerted by capital in the past was also quite heavy.

At that time, Liu Zhenwei stepped forward.

Joining forces with a group of actors in "Ashes of Time" who were tortured and depressed by Wong Kar-wai, it took less than a month to shoot an extremely crazy movie "A Chinese Odyssey".

Thanks to that box office hit comedy, he successfully cleaned up Wong Kar-wai's mess.

Reduce the anger of investors.

The reason why this smiling Bodhi Patriarch has come to the Shanghai Stock Exchange is just to clean up the mess for his old friend.

Li Luo's arrival.

Let everyone make way here.

After he sat down, Huang Baiming couldn't wait to ask, "Your movie Painted Skin has made quite a splash. Are you confident about the box office? Do you plan to go to Cannes?"

"correct."

He paused for a moment, glanced at Hong Yubao, Liu Zhenwei, and Ye Weixin who were sitting next to him, and then whispered, "I've received news that Director Xu's "Women Are Not Bad" has plans to withdraw from the National Day schedule."

“Does the film look good?”

"Will you force the postponement of Nanjing! Nanjing!"?

As soon as these words came out.

Liu Zhenwei looked at Li Luo in surprise.

The project of "Women Are Not Bad" is not a simple one. It is directed by Xu Ke, starred by the powerful actress Zhou Xun, and joined by the new star girl Zhang Yuqi. Gui Lunmei, who performed outstandingly in "Secret", is also among them.

The actress cast is strong.

The male actors also put on a good show.

That movie brought together talented and rising stars such as Alex Fong, Stephen Fung, and Eddie Peng.

did not expect.

It was actually postponed because of Li Luo's "Painted Skin".

"You can't say that."

Li Luo was a little surprised, but still waved his hand and said, "Boss Huang, you can't hurt me. My movie is just a small one at best, not worth mentioning at all. How can I force others to postpone it?"

The waving hands soon stopped.

He pinched a small section of his little finger to express his insignificance.

This move.

Huang Baiming's eyes twitched slightly.

Although he is not optimistic about the so-called oriental fantasy action theme, it does not mean that he will underestimate the movie "Painted Skin", and he will not underestimate the keen sense of smell of Xu Ke and the distribution company behind it.

Chen Jiashang’s directing skills are already strong, and coupled with the combination of Li Luo and Fan Bingbing.

The latter performed brilliantly in The Disciples.

As for the former.Just throwing out the two words "Li Luo" is enough to make market competitors feel the pressure, and last year's summer vacation schedule war unleashed a bloody storm.

I can still smell the evil spirit now.

These are not the key points. The most crucial point is that Xu Ke and Chen Jiashang are master and apprentice.

The CEO of the distributor Bernardo has a close relationship with Li Luo. Logically, both of them should have had the opportunity to see the complete film or some trailers of Painted Skin. This is what made him think about it.

If you don't feel the pressure.

Yu Dong and Xu Ke would never consider emergency withdrawal.

If you don't have confidence.

Even the top ten cinema chains would not hold a signing ceremony with the crew of "Painted Skin" in Zibo with such fanfare.

inside.

There are many things worth pondering.

However, as Li Luo quickly changed the subject, Huang Baiming could only suppress his curiosity. Then, amid Liu Zhenwei's flattering words, laughter broke out on the set.

Others ran over and bowed their heads.

There are some things that Huang Baiming can't hold on to.

In the end.

I am actually not in the right either.

As Liu Zhenwei continued to reminisce about the past, Hong Xibao's expression gradually relaxed. He was the action director for "Ashes of Time" and "A Chinese Odyssey", and they used to cook from the same pot.

In addition, he had a very obedient personality, so Liu Zhenwei soon coaxed him into feeling comfortable.

This is Li Luo's side.

Liu Zhenwei was not idle either.

One of the founders of the Zhejiang East Film Company directly expressed his apologies and said that he had no intention of using Liang Chaowei to suppress him. He apologized if he had offended him in any way.

After all, the other party is a senior in the industry.

Under this statement.

Of course Li Luo just laughed it off, indicating that it was all a misunderstanding.

After Liu Zhenwei's hard work.

The sudden controversy over copycat plagiarism has finally been eased.

After another round of consultation, the crew of "The Grandmaster · Ip Man" only took the two words "Ip Man", while the "Ip Man Biography · The Grandmaster" project being prepared by Zhejiang East Film could only retain the four words "The Grandmaster".

As part of the negotiation, the "Ip Man" crew should not take the initiative to stir up trouble with the media in the future.

Zhejiang East Films should no longer be accused of plagiarism.

This is the end.

The title of the play is divided into two parts.

After returning to the crew, Li Luo devoted himself to the filming.

Get the show right.

It is the key to one's survival.

All the splendor and extravagance are built on this foundation. If the project fails and major losses occur one after another, all of this will be blown away by the wind and rain, leaving only a mess.

One punch and one move.

The opening day of Cannes is coming soon.

"Painted Skin" was not even registered, so there was no question of being shortlisted, but Li Luo still took two or three days off to go to the small French coastal town.

You don’t have to enter the circle, but the film still needs to be sold!I originally planned to rent a stall.

Then organize various film producers to come to a film screening.

But after Hamdan used his business partner's privilege to watch the finished film "Painted Skin" in advance, this guy waved his hand and wrote a check for six million US dollars to directly buy the overseas rights of the film.

Compared to last year’s Rage, the price seems too low.

But it is not the case.

Due to the impact of the economic crisis, the market trading situation was already very sluggish. Hamdan's offer of US$6 million was based on his confidence in Li Luo.

If it were another film company, the price would only be lowered further.

After all, "Painted Skin" was not shortlisted for Cannes and did not have the Golden Camera to endorse it.

Special effects of movies.

There is a clear gap compared to Hollywood blockbusters.

Even the subject matter of the movie is not the most popular action genre overseas.

to be frank.

This price has already made Chen Jiashang overjoyed.

Many colleagues came to Cannes to sell their films, but only a few had such smooth progress.

most people.

In fact, it is just empty talk.

Although the economic crisis has caused the US dollar exchange rate to fall, it has basically maintained at the level of 1:7. Even if the corresponding taxes are deducted here, the money received is already more than million yuan.

By selling the copyright, he had earned back the five million he had invested.

And there is some profit.

After urgent consultations, Li Luo, Chen Jiashang and Wang Zhongjun decided to sign a transaction contract with Hamdan based on other transaction conditions. They raised glasses of champagne to celebrate their happy cooperation.

The more than 20 million I have now, in addition to the 13 million deal I reached with Wang Zhongjun at that time.

The original investment has been recovered here.

I thought about it briefly.

Li Luo's happy laughter floated freely with the Mediterranean breeze.

Make money quietly, don’t make a fuss about it.

Everyone is afraid of being targeted by vultures, so the "Painted Skin" crew only publicized the success of the copyright transaction and held a small celebration cocktail party before boarding the return flight amid the envious eyes of their peers.

Li Luo received good news again.

After Xinghuo Films held a drama viewing party, the purchasing departments of major TV stations responded extremely enthusiastically. Among them, Mango TV grabbed the first broadcast rights at a price of 700,000 per episode, with a total price of 22.4 million.

The payment terms are quite generous, and you will be paid based on time.

There are no conditions.

There are no ratings requirements or anything like that!

In addition, "Fall in Love with You" was scheduled to be broadcast in the prime time of Mango TV's Golden Eagle Theater, which is the prime time of the summer vacation in August, giving Xinghuo Film and Television's pioneering drama top treatment.

Of course, as part of the deal, the crew's cooperation in promotion will be indispensable.

Ouyang Changlin’s big move.

It was a surprise.

However, it also boosted the enthusiasm for buying.

It doesn’t matter if the first broadcast rights are snatched away, we still have to fight for the second round of broadcasting rights.

The TV series currently starring Li Luo are most likely to be hits, and this time he is working with star girl Huang Shengyi. It goes without saying that this powerful combination is favored by advertisers. For TV stations, this represents revenue.

Another one is the drama watching party of Xinghuo Film and Television, which directly releases the entire series for people to watch.

Excellent quality.

It has further increased the confidence of various TV stations.

After a fierce competition, Shancheng Satellite TV, Southern Satellite TV and Jiangsu Satellite TV grabbed the last three satellite spots.

Local stations followed suit.

Finally, even the audio and video copyright holders were not idle.

After a few days of chaos, the total contract amount was calculated to be more than 72 million. When Zhang Guoli heard this calculated number, he laughed so hard that he rubbed his bald head.

Lin Yue was also very excited.

With this drama alone, Xinghuo Film and Television can earn half a billion.

And it’s not just the domestic market where the products can be sold.

The markets of Hong Kong, Taiwan, Sakura, South Korea and Southeast Asia are all being contacted, and the subsequent revenue is expected to be not small.

The copyright can still be sold later.

Continue to make money.

Although the copyright transaction price will drop sharply in the future, it can still be a very considerable profit over the long term.

When Li Luo received the call from Lin Yue announcing the good news, he smiled with all his white teeth showing.

this number.

It’s already very good.

The Return of the Condor Heroes, starring myself, was released in 2006. It was definitely a top drama at the time. If I remember correctly, General Zhang Zhong sold the copyright for more than 50 million.

Considering the soaring film pay and market prices in the past two years, it is not surprising that he was able to sell it for more than 70 million.

Just thinking back, this is not even as much as the salary of a famous actor in the future.

He just smiled and shook his head.

The messy thoughts were quickly suppressed. No matter what, the chaos in the future could not be compared with the present. To earn tens of millions from a movie, even a producer nowadays would need to be an outstanding person.

Li Luo threw the phone to Zhao XuejingHappy, he raised his hand and took a sip of coffee.

Just a sting in the arm.

It made him frown slightly.

At this moment, he was sitting in the Ye family mansion. The vase was broken, the table was smashed, and the ground was a mess, as if it had been swept by a storm.

"Brother Xuzhu."

After gulping down his coffee, Li Luo looked across at the other side and asked, "Can you still hold on?"

"Come!"

Fan Shaohuang adjusted his disordered breathing, gritted his teeth and stood up.

This guy's forehead.

Fine beads of sweat have already appeared.

A wonderful action scene is not as simple as throwing a punch, freezing, kicking, and freezing again. It can certainly be edited later, but a fight without any continuity will not arouse the audience's emotions at all.

Fighting consistently is one thing.

When fighting, if you want to complete some difficult moves, you must use strength.

Even professional action actors will hold back.

But if you say it doesn’t hurt when you get punched or kicked, you’d be lying!

Therefore, Li Luo felt a sharp pain in his arm, and Fan Shaohuang felt pain all over his body. You have to know that he was the one who was beaten the most. He had just finished filming the kick-out scene and now he had his first duel with Ip Man.

If I hadn't practiced martial arts since childhood.

He really can't resist it now.

Looking at Li Luo who was wearing a black robe, Fan Shaohuang swallowed hard.

I knew this guy was pretty skilled, but I didn't expect him to be so skilled. His hands and feet were as hard as copper or iron, and when they collided, it was like hitting a wooden man. Now his body is covered with bruises.

His whole body reeks of bruise wine.

"Come!!!"

With the momentum of "The wind is whistling and the water is cold", the burly Lord of Lingjiu Palace walked towards the camera like a dragon and a tiger.

Li Luo grinned.

Give this guy a fist bump.

The two looked at the action director standing next to them.

"Shhhhh."

Hong Yubao, who was wearing a short vest, gestured quickly and reminded again: "Later, when you use your arms to block the headbutt, you must keep your forearms at a good angle, otherwise Xu Shaohuang will hit his bones and it will be terrible!"

"Pfft~"

The staff around the set couldn't help laughing.

Li Luo kept visiting Xu Zhu every day, which made Hong Yubao even complain.

"cough!!!"

Seeing Li Luo's expressionless face, Hong Yubao's cheek twitched: "When you turn your arm over to pat the throat later, be more careful. Hit the collarbone and don't hit the neck."

"clear."

Li Luo expressed his clear understanding.

Licking his lips, Fan Shaohuang nodded heavily.

Although we have rehearsed many times, when it comes to the official shooting, the action director still has to remind us of the key points. Unlike literary dramas, the most important thing for martial arts scenes is to keep a clear mind.

Don't hit him in the head!At Hong Yubao's signal, the two of them quickly repeated the moves again and finally came in front of the camera again.

The staff around didn't show any impatience.

Action scenes need to be shot beautifully.

It has to be polished.

It is normal to take several days to shoot a fight scene. Only after countless rehearsals and sparring sessions can every move that amazes the audience be presented on the screen.

When everyone is waiting calmly.

Several figures quietly walked into the Ye family mansion, and the one in the lead looked forward intently.

"Snapped!"

"Turn it on."

The huge fist swung out with a whistling sound, but was firmly slapped away by a single palm.

A light smoke.

Then it vibrated in the air.

Unable to hit him with the first strike, Fan Shaohuang took a quick step forward and headbutted Li Luo fiercely in the chest. The latter stepped back and blocked his attack with his arms.

Although he felt dizzy, Fan Shaohuang continued to perform his moves.

He waved his arms and tried to break them apart.

At the same time, he lunged forward, punching relentlessly straight down the center line.

Li Luo used continuous punches to dissipate the force.

As the two men made eye contact, they coordinated with each other to adjust their positions. Li Luo, in turn, swept his leg downwards while simultaneously hitting and pressing Fan Shaohuang's collarbone with his arms.

The latter gritted his teeth, used the force, and pulled his body into the air with a roar.

That burly figure.

With the cooperation of the two people, they almost formed a straight line.

The hem of the clothes flutters.

The postures of the two at this moment were extremely graceful.

It is violent but also gorgeous, making people applaud when watching it.

"Boom."

Fan Shaohuang fell heavily on the force-removing pad.

"it is good!!!"

Seeing this difficult move completed so beautifully, even Hong Xibao couldn't help but applaud and cheer. Needless to say, the surrounding staff were also cheering, and the noisy noises echoed throughout the hall.

Li Luo quickly squatted down and looked nervously at the blushing Lord Xu Zhu.

Opened his mouth.

Fan Shaohuang's eyes were wide open, but he didn't say anything.

The other party looked very serious, but Li Luo was not panicked. When he was a child, he tried to climb up a tree to pick longan, but he accidentally fell from mid-air and hit the ground.

That was the situation at the time.

I fell and got a stitch in the side!

I felt so angry in my chest that I couldn't speak.

As the martial artists walked over quickly, Fan Shaohuang finally coughed rapidly, and his big palm rose along with it.

"Crack~"

Li Luo laughed, patted his hands and pulled him up.

"It's over, it's over."

Hong Yubao grabbed the intercom and shouted to the martial artists, "Remove the cushions, and get Shaohuang on the wire. Hey, you remember their positions, and don't stand in the wrong place later!"

Amid the shouting, the crew quickly went from quiet to moving.

The connecting action was that Jin Shanzhao was knocked into the air, then he quickly supported himself on the ground with his quick eyes and hands, and quickly rolled over to avoid Ip Man's attack.

Here you need to use wire ropes.

Then I learned martial arts since I was young.

Some actions are not something that normal people can do.

If Li Luo was photographed flying across the sky like this, it would be very difficult for him to complete the series of movements, not to mention completing them cleanly and looking good in front of the camera.

"Brother Luo."

The familiar shout made Li Luo turn around.

A fat old man with a smile came into view, as well as a man with glasses standing behind him, smiling and waving.

"Sorry~"

Li Luo strode over, laughed and held out his hand: "Mr. Wu, Brother Long."

The people who came were Wu Dun and Zhang Long.

The last time we met was during the promotion of the movie Slam Dunk.

Although the movie has been off the shelves for a while, the joy of the project's success still remains on the faces of the two men, and they look extremely energetic.

Industry leaders visited the set.

Hong Xibao, Fan Shaohuang and others also came over to shake hands and say hello.

After a lively greeting.

Li Luo quickly led a few people to the rest area and sat them down, and waved his hand to signal Liu Wan and others to disperse.

at the same time.

His eyes also fell on the briefcase in Zhang Long's hand.

When I got the call in the morning.

Li Luo knew that the other party would not come for no reason, especially since "Slam Dunk" had sold more than 100 million yuan at the box office. In this situation, even a fool would know to strike while the iron is hot and continue to organize the original team to launch an attack.

So the moment he saw the briefcase, he realized that he was fake and came here to see who he was.

The date is real.
