Halo of cheating in the entertainment industry

If you want to find it, look for the best and the right one

With this idea in mind, Zurich soon began to search for a filming team for "Inception."

Photography director Su Li found Du Kefeng, a foreigner who had many award-winning works that year and had many outstanding works.

In the entertainment industry, the importance of fame was immediately highlighted. After Su Li found Du Kefeng in person, it only took him more than ten minutes to get him to recognize him. At the same time, he agreed to join the team of "Inception" and shoot with Su Li.

Make a good movie.

Then came the specific cameramen. With Zhang Yimou's help and acquiescence, he moved Zhao Xiaoding into the crew.

Needless to say, Zhao Xiaoding's photography skills are not unqualified. He has many works, including the Olympic promotional film "Forbidden City", which also received a huge response at the time. He can be regarded as a veteran.

Mouzi's royal cameraman, now that he still has some time, he devotes it all to "Inception".

In this way, plus a few teams led by themselves, as well as some young people sent by Liguang Entertainment Company to study, the camera team was set up.

"Inception" has very high requirements for photographers, and many places need to be photographed to achieve the desired effects, which requires the joint efforts of a near-perfect camera team.

For the makeup artist team, Zuli has found Mao Geping.

Mao Geping was still hesitant at the beginning. After all, Su Li gave him the impression that he was still a bit young, but when he thought of his power in "Source Code", he was also a little excited.

Later, Su Li told him something about "Inception" and gave him a blockbuster investment of 400 million yuan, and then he fell.

A young man, a 21-year-old man, actually has the courage to spend 400 million yuan on a movie. What kind of sentiment is this? What kind of courage is this? When he thought of this, even Mao Geping himself could not bear it.

I couldn't help but feel a little excited.

Therefore, he finally agreed to Su Li's invitation and joined the crew of "Inception".

For the artist team, Suli has found a lot of top talents through the relationship between Zhang Yimou, Lu Zhongfei and his company, including talents like Ye Jintian.

Tim Yip has also been in the industry for many years. He has been working hard since the days of "A Better Tomorrow" until now. Many things are quite mature now and he can lead this team well.

The music team Su Li himself has also been carefully selected. Anyway, it is necessary to use the best and most suitable people to do these things. Since this movie has planned to invest so many billions, it will naturally have to show the courage to invest in a blockbuster.

Now, in addition to the funds invested in domestic movies, TV series, variety shows, special effects and other aspects, the company still has more than 500 million funds left. If you include the 300 million earned from North America, the money is still very abundant.

of.

Zurich even made a plan - there will be no cap on the investment in "Inception"

This plan is truly ambitious, and only in this way can we truly create a film with the largest investment in the history of Chinese-language films, and truly show our courage to move forward.

With the addition of Lin Di'an, the final puzzle action director, and Park Joo-chun, a gunfight director found from South Korea, the film's art, camera, action director, sound recording, makeup and other teams have been set up.

The remuneration of these people alone cost several million, which naturally did not include the consumption they needed.

Therefore, the investment in "Inception" has become larger and larger, and I don't know how much more than "Source Code".

The construction of the staff has taken shape, and the next step is to find actors.

After some searching, the male protagonist's deceased wife was tentatively cast by Fan Bingbing, the dream builder was tentatively cast by Yang Mi, the tycoon was guest-starred by Anthony Wong, and the tycoon's son was played by Wu Yanzu. The two main dream stealers were played by

Chen Kun, Deng Chao. After some consideration, the character who was originally Japanese was replaced with a Chinese background, otherwise it might touch the nerves of the people and the government...

Therefore, for this role that was originally scheduled to be played by a foreigner, Su Li also changed the candidate, changed the background to China, and changed the actor to a Chinese actor, veteran actor Chen Daoming.

After such a change, many problems can be solved. The key issue is whether he can agree.

It is not difficult to convince Fan Bingbing to join this drama. Anyway, she is also looking for good movies and good scripts. A few days ago, Su Li visited the cast of "October Siege" and she knew Fan Bingbing, so she did not use it.

Too much talk just invites her in.

Of course, the remuneration Zurich had to pay for this was definitely not low.

Although the salary of several million is not too much compared to the investment in the entire "Inception", it is still a huge amount.

Next, Yang Mi's aspect is easier to solve. After all, she and Su Li have many relationships. After all, she can be regarded as Su Li's popularity. There is no reason for her company to embarrass Su Li because of this. But the salary will be different.

It's a huge amount of money. Her net worth is completely different from when she acted in "Source Code". The salary she is given now cannot be lower than a million.

Daniel Wu and Su Li have experience in cooperation, and Su Li is also a good friend with him. This opportunity is even more important to him, so he agreed happily.

Chen Kun and Deng Chao quickly agreed to Su Li's invitation. Chen Daoming was a little bit speechless, but after seeing the script, he immediately agreed.

So far, this movie has already assembled a star cast, including Su Li, Chen Daoming, Fan Bingbing, Yang Mi, Daniel Wu, Chen Kun, Deng Chao, Anthony Wong... Such a lineup is difficult to compare with even "October Siege". Su Li himself

It can already support half of the country, not to mention big names like Chen Daoming and Fan Bingbing, super newcomers like Yang Mi, and three handsome men like Daniel Wu, Chen Kun, and Deng Chao...

This cast is indeed quite luxurious. If you include other staff members, this movie is already eye-catching enough.

These are just the roles that Su Li has already confirmed. There are other places where he still needs to use a luxurious star cast.

He has already found Huang Xiaoming as the pharmacist. Su Li has watched his "Ip Man 2" and found that his acting skills in it are indeed passable. His own abilities are outstanding and his popularity is not low, so he is completely qualified for this role.

In addition, there are also the roles of the protagonist's father-in-law, etc. Zuli has chosen some very popular stars in all of them. After all, this is definitely a luxurious lineup.

Some rumors about the preparations for the filming of "Inception" have been vaguely revealed to the outside world. However, after receiving this little news, most people who follow the entertainment industry fell into a certain state of excitement.

500 million investment (so-called) The strong lineup from Zurich to Huang Xiaoming is still a science fiction theme...

This is really unbelievable.

In July, when the Zurich plan had just revealed the tip of the iceberg, almost everyone was mobilizing their emotions for this matter.

"Fifty million investment...is Zurich crazy? Quite a few words." After hearing this news, many people felt that the world was getting more and more crazy.

Everyone knows that "Source Code" has brought considerable funds to Liguang Entertainment Company, and even made Zu Li join the ranks of young billionaires. However, the money is not spent that way. With an investment of 500 million, you have to

How much box office will it take to recoup the cost?

The investment of 500 million is already the largest investment in the history of Chinese films. However, Su Li has only entered the entertainment industry for two years and he is only 21 years old.

What on earth does he want to do?

After hearing the news, the entire Chinese film industry fell into a state of madness. Almost everyone was guessing what Su Li planned...

Even if he created a box office miracle with "Source Code", even if he made two movies and the box office of both movies were jaw-dropping, an investment of 500 million is really too trivial. Everyone speculates that Zurich is really

I became hot-headed because of some previous achievements. This tendency of being hot-headed is too obvious.

With an investment of 500 million, according to the current sharing standards that China can achieve, they need more than 1 billion in box office to recover the cost.

"Su Li is really hot-headed this time... He may not know what this means." Many commentators have expressed such concerns about Su Li.

Now, even the most die-hard [Pear] has some doubts about Su Li. They now really hope to have a dialogue with Su Li, and then give Su Li a good advice, hoping that he can give up this idea.

"This idea is too shocking... This is already the largest investment in the history of Chinese-language films. Is it really necessary to gamble like this?" Although they still like Su Li very much, many [Lizi] expressed a lot of concerns about Su Li.

The outside world was in a storm, and by mid-July, many people knew more and more about "Inception."

First of all, they know that the protagonist is still Su Li, and they also know some other actors from "Inception" who have revealed the tip of the iceberg.

Just the tip of the iceberg exposed in this way has already made everyone stunned.

"What kind of momentum is this?" Seeing the tip of the iceberg that has been revealed so far, many people feel a little weak - what are Su Li's thoughts? How can he have such a momentum of spending money like water?

No one can understand Su Li, so everyone is looking forward to Su Li being able to explain this matter clearly to everyone and reveal the whole story of his filming "Inception".

However, Su Li has always avoided talking about this matter, and he has never mentioned these things on his blog. Therefore, everyone's hearts have been aroused. In fact, it is not that he deliberately wants to arouse everyone's appetite, but

He really doesn't have time for himself.

Since July, Su Li has been busy preparing for "Inception", busy negotiating with people from various places, busy carefully setting up some scenes and props, and busy looking for a perfect lineup for "Inception".

I am busy with these things every day, and naturally I don’t have much time to solve the doubts of the outside world.

On this day, Su Li was still sitting at home, scratching the pen on the paper. After drawing for a long time, he finally raised his head from the paper.

After looking at the concept map drawn on his hand, he nodded with satisfaction.

Now, Su Li's painting skills are no longer what they used to be. His hand-painting ability includes skills that he directly added points from the system, and there are also many things that he has honed little by little. They are far, far away from the artist's standards, but he

The things drawn are also clearly understood and can be understood by others at a glance.

He quickly handed these pictures to Li Xian and began to discuss them with him.

"These are some of the concept drawings I have drawn so far." Su Li pointed to the things on the paper and said to him: "It is not much different from the concept I told you before. The main thing is the sense of superposition of space.

There we are completely free from any constraints and can do whatever we want.”

Li Xian nodded: "I already know these, and it's the same as what I told you before... With the special effects level of our studio, it is not difficult to make this. It's just that the financial investment may be very high, and

The difficulty and complexity will exceed everyone’s imagination.”

Su Li said: "Of course I know this, but I have already said that I will not save too much money on this movie. I will spend it where it should be spent, even if I directly invest 100 million in special effects."

No matter what.”….

Li Xian nodded to express his understanding. To be honest, although many things in Suli may seem a bit arrogant to the outside world, in the eyes of people like them, this is completely a kind of confidence and pride. Such pride is not

What an ordinary 21-year-old young man can have.

Even this kind of arrogance is enough for the people below to worship him.

"The special effects of this space folding, as well as the special effects of walking from one plane to another vertical plane, may require more than 300 layers, and many designers need to be used... Just such a shot, all

It will cost you a lot of your budget." Li Xian explained to Su Li: "And you need more than just these... there are many things that require special effects. Counting the entire movie, 100 million in special effects is a lot.

Possible."

"I know." Su Li calculated a little, and he knew that the price must be paid.

Thanks to Zurich, the Burning Shadow Special Effects Studio now has a special effects level that is leading the world. Maybe this sounds a bit mysterious, but the fact is that - with a special effects cost of 100 million, this studio can produce comparable effects.

The original "Inception" had even more powerful special effects

These are all things that Su Li took out from the system, and the Burning Shadow special effects are indeed the biggest beneficiaries.

Su Li is not too stingy with the budget for special effects. What he wants to create is a classic Chinese commercial blockbuster and even wants to write a mark in the history of world cinema.
