Halo of cheating in the entertainment industry

Su Li contacted Xu Zheng through Zhang Wu. In "Nightclub Supermarket", rather than Li Junwei, played by Su Li, being the male lead, it would be better to say that the male lead is Xu Zheng. Xu Zheng's comedy talent is enough to make people laugh.

Xu Zheng was naturally hesitant at the beginning - the inexperienced investor Su Li and the name of the film studio he was about to establish that he had never heard of were enough to make him suspicious. Therefore, Xu Zheng was very serious.

He said to Su Li on the other end of the phone: "Su Li, I know that you are now the most popular star among the post-85s generation, and I also know your current popularity, but I want to ask you, is this movie of yours just for fun?

Of?"

Su Li shook his head resolutely and said: "Of course it's not just for fun. I also have my own love for movies. I think you should also know that "Eavesdropping" and "Seven Pounds" currently being filmed in the United States were all filmed by me as a screenwriter.

Yes, the current investment in "Nightclub Supermarket" is indeed small, but I can say that it is a very sincere comedy..."

Xu Zheng thought about it carefully on the other end of the phone. He thought about the popular "Crazy Stone" that he had finished shooting not long ago. He suddenly felt more confident and said, "Show me the script and I'll read it."

Make your decision again, okay?"

Su Li agreed and sent the electronic version of the script to Xu Zheng.

When Xu Zheng received the Su Li script, he naturally didn't believe it. After all, Su Li was too young, and his main reputation was in records. Although he had a "Eavesdropping" as the background, he still didn't believe it.

Overheard is a real drama.

Xu Zheng opened the script on the computer suspiciously and began to browse the information on it.

When he saw the first page of the script, he had the same feeling as Yang Mi: the layout was quite professional, and the dialogues and scene descriptions were just right. But what attracted him most was obviously not these, but the funny plot inside.

"It's really a sincere comedy..." The smile on Xu Zheng's face became thicker and thicker. In recent years, some comedies that pretend to be crazy and show off their stupidity have gradually begun to appear in the film market, and their delusions are completely through some stupid plots and

Vulgar jokes are pieced together into a hilarious comedy - unfortunately, they underestimated the audience's IQ. And for a smart movie like "Nightclub Supermarket", the comedy is not artificial at all. As the plot develops, the comedy becomes more and more hilarious.

It's natural, it's not disgusting or contrived.

Before he knew it, Xu Zheng sat in front of the computer for several hours and read the entire script. While he was rubbing his eyes, his wife Tao Hong walked in and asked him what he was reading.

"Reading my new script..." Xu Zheng said with a smile.

He has already decided to act in this movie. Whether it is the calm plot or the hilarious moments, he likes it very much, especially the character He Sanshui in the movie. He knows that he likes this character very much.

Therefore, Xu Zheng quickly called and agreed to the job. Su Li was very happy when he heard that Xu Zheng agreed. In this way, the male and female protagonists were basically confirmed.

Not long after, Yang Mi also called Su Li and told Su Li that she had agreed to participate in the performance - this was something Su Li expected. Yang Mi's current schedule is naturally not full enough to waste time on making movies. A movie is very important to her.

If it becomes popular, it will be great. If it doesn't, it won't have much impact. At most, it will just lose a little time, and there is still money to be paid.

Of course, the most important thing is the script. Su Li believes that it was her script that moved her.

It's just that he still has some ulterior motives in his heart - it would be great if this was the Yang Mi of 2011, who could turn a super bad movie into a box office of more than 90 million yuan... Of course, if it were Yang Mi's salary in that era

It's not something he can afford.

The three leading actors have all been confirmed - Xu Zheng will play He Sanshui, Su Li will play Li Junwei, and Yang Mi will play Tang Xiaolian. Next came the other supporting roles in the script. Zhao Yingjun readily agreed to play the role of Zhu Liao, especially after watching

After reading the script, I couldn’t put it down even more.

Zhang Jiayi was very interested in Su Li's proposal, not to mention that he was only making a cameo appearance - in this movie he played a robber who spoke a dialect and was full of laughs. When he saw this kind of role, he also said

It was quite fun, and I agreed quickly.

Next is the issue of director. Su Li knew that his lack of experience would probably make this movie a bad one, so he gave up the idea of ​​directing by himself and wanted to find someone with rich experience to direct.

It is best for this director to be experienced but not well-known. It is not easy to find such a person. If you look for Yang Qing, the original director of "Nightclub", that person should indeed have little experience now.

Su Li quickly thought of his co-director Lu Zhongfei when he was filming the music video. This person’s shooting skills are incredible. He has been an assistant director and recorder for so many years, and has quite a lot of experience. He has no experience shooting movies as a director now.

opportunity, the reason is just his lack of qualifications.

Lu Zhongfei was also a little shocked when he heard that Su Li was preparing to make a movie. This kid always surprises him. A few days ago, Lu Zhongfei heard that the screenwriter of "Eavesdropping" is Su Li, and there are also

Lu Zhongfei was also surprised by the fact that one of his characters could make people like Mai Zhaohui and Zhuang Wenqiang fall in love with Su Li's script. It is conceivable that he also has real talent and learning.

Of course, he readily agreed to Su Li's invitation to be the director. He had been looking forward to such an opportunity for a long time, but Su Li also said something, that is, he could not spend too much money to hire many people for this movie.

So most of the work must be shouldered by Su Li and Lu Zhongfei - although Su Li himself did not say who he is besides an actor, in fact, Su Li will definitely be responsible for starring.

, the three roles of producer and assistant director.

This is not easy for Su Li. Fortunately, he also had some experience while filming "Eavesdropping" and will not mess things up.

Next comes a long preparation period. First of all, there is the issue of funding. In terms of remuneration, Yang Mi and Xu Zheng each received a salary of 250,000. This salary is not high but not low either. Several other actors, plus the surrounding

The salary of those extras exceeds 200,000 yuan, not to mention the salary of director Lu Zhongfei... With these remunerations alone, Su Li needs to pay no less than 900,000 yuan...

But there's nothing you can do about it. A lot of money is spent on stars' salaries in a movie, and there's no such thing as a free hand when making a movie.

The next step is the filming location. They need to rent a supermarket for at least two weeks or even a month for filming, which requires about 100,000 funds.

There are also various equipment - renting cameras, buying film, purchasing props, etc... According to preliminary planning, when the film is completed, it will cost at least 1.3 million.

"One hundred and thirty..." Su Li chewed on the amount. In fact, this was just the pre-production. After post-production and publicity, the total investment in this film will be about two million.

Su Li now has half a million in funds on hand. He participated in the M-Zone endorsement event a few days ago, and almost has an income of one million from there. Good news also came from Smith in the United States - his script was

If you adopt it, you can still earn 70,000 US dollars after tax, which is 560,000 yuan here.

In total, he will have about 2.1 million in funds, which means that the difficulty of filming will further increase - because the budget is really stretched.

Of course, during the filming time, he will also have some time to go out and do activities, promote his movie, and earn a little pocket money by the way. So there should be a way to go about funding matters, and there is another way.

"Eavesdropping" will be released soon, and he will get some box office dividends from it, and he is expected to make around 300,000 yuan from it.

After Su Li contacted Lu Zhongfei and saw the script of "Nightclub Supermarket", Lu Zhongfei's eyes lit up and he immediately became enthusiastic.

Therefore, he and Su Li have been busy these days, renting equipment, and looking for professionals. Although Su Li wants to do his best in terms of sound, light and shadow for this movie, this is

Doesn't mean they can find some expensive ones.

After a few days of busy work, the preliminary preparations for the filming of the film will be completed soon.

The film studio in Zurich will also be officially registered soon.

Su Li cannot directly register an entertainment company, because once it comes to a company, many things are not that simple, and his current funds are far from enough to support it.

Open a movie studio, get a permit to shoot movies, and then use "Nightclub Supermarket" to earn some box office, and then things will gradually become logical.

At present, he will only use his own identity to register this film studio. He has also considered the name of the company for a long time, and finally decided to call it 'Li Guang Film Studio', which will become 'Li Guang Entertainment Company' in the future.

'

The name Zuli has been thought about for some time. The reason for using this name is that as we all know, Zuli - Liguang, there is a common word "Li" in it. Zuli uses the two words "Liguang" as the name for his future development.

Main direction, these two words have two meanings.

First of all, Liguang means 'light of dawn', which is similar to dawn. When darkness retreats three feet, dawn uses its highest energy to sweep the sky with its nascent light. Therefore, these two words are very important.

This largely speaks to Zurich's ambitions - that his films and studio will eradicate a dawn with the same attitude of dawn dispelling darkness.

Secondly, Li Guang also hopes that he can really make a difference, make movies as planned and develop according to his plan.

While he was already preparing to open a company, Yao Qi and Li Xian, masters and apprentices, had returned to China, and Su Li was going to pick them up.

The things in Zuli are really one after another. It is estimated that the "Fire Shadow Special Effects Studio" and the "Li Guang Film Studio" will kick off at the same time.
