That night, the reception banquet for Yu Ninghao was very private.
There were very few people brought to the hotel by Liu Qingshan. Apart from Jin Xishan and Fan Shengyang, there was no fifth person.
There are two reasons. One is that the investment cost of "Crazy Stone" is extremely low. He does not want other partners to get involved. The preparation of the crew requires a certain degree of confidentiality.
Then there is the issue of selecting the characters in the play. He needs to have an in-depth discussion with Ning Hao. The presence of more people will greatly affect the discussion on serious matters.
Regarding the reason for the low cost, to be honest, Ning Hao's face was somewhat unsightly, but he never felt slighted or humiliated.
Everyone in the world knows that Liu Qingshan has no shortage of funds on hand, because it is well known that there are several international capitals standing behind him.
Liu Qingshan's arrangement of tonight's dinner in such a secretive manner was also intentional, and he always had a mysterious expression.
All of this made Ning Hao feel a little unusual. Moreover, when the investment amount was revealed, even Jin Xishan expressed surprise and astonishment.
For a long time afterwards, Liu Qingshan was in a state of patient explanation: "You can regard low-cost movies as a gimmick for future box office, or as an effective cost control, and at the same time, it tests the skills of some actors." Professionalism. Of course, as a director, Brother Hao, you will feel a little embarrassed during the filming process, but I can guarantee you now that among all the actors participating, I will choose at least four to directly join Xueyu Entertainment Artist quota!”
In fact, just hearing this, Ning Hao knew it in his heart. Even if the investment amount is only three million, it can also point out Liu Qingshan's importance to this film.
Because today's Xueyu Entertainment may not be called a large entertainment company, but as long as it has the convenience of giving priority to Boss Liu's scripts, it has actually destined to have extraordinary future development prospects.
Looking at the three million from this perspective, he felt more confident. The script itself with Liu's brand would be an invisible investment. If Xueyu's purpose was to make money, he only needed to sell the script. Go, three to three million are back too.
But they didn't do this. Instead, they chose the stupidest way to use this script, which shows that there are unknown business operations hidden in it.
So Liu Qingshan's next words will lead to the reasons for doing this bit by bit: "I will provide you with a list of actors for the main roles. One thing they have in common is that they are all the same unattractive appearance. They are all the kind who have no appearance. There is no famous actor, but his superb acting skills will definitely surprise you, Brother Hao!"
Ning Hao was indeed a little moved: "Mr. Liu, are you saying that you need me to reflect their true acting skills? And the low cost of this movie is actually an opportunity to enhance their reputation?"
Liu Qingshan nodded with a smile: "It might be more appropriate to say platform! I personally think that they are all talents who have been seriously buried, because of their unflattering looks! The entertainment industry is a very realistic small circle, and handsome men and beautiful women are everywhere. , the pleasing image has become the focus of the market, or almost all capital. How many works produced according to this idea will focus on the art itself?"
Ning Hao slapped his hands suddenly: "Mr. Liu's words were concise and to the point, and I seemed to feel a little more enlightened instantly!"
Liu Qingshan nodded: "Brother Hao, please call me Shanzi from now on. I treat you as the future gold medal director of Snowland! But what I said tonight, don't tell anyone, especially those who will establish the future." The crew got up. And you have to show a bitter and resentful work attitude throughout the whole process, and then use your personal personality charm to stimulate all the work enthusiasm of those actors!"
Jin Xishan, who was listening on the side, was already covering his mouth and enjoying himself.
After hearing this, I still couldn't help but say: "Aren't you afraid that the crew will be in distress and scare away the invited actors? Three million, my God, no matter how small the crew is, it still has to have dozens of people filming. With such a scale, it seems like this little money can’t even cover their daily food and drink, right? Besides, they have to rent a venue, hire security, and perform extra performances, which is also a big expense!”
Ning Hao nodded subconsciously, as if he hadn't thought of these details until now.
The smile on Liu Qingshan's lips remained: "The small cost must reflect the embarrassment that it should have. Only things shot in such an environment can truly reflect the professional qualities that outstanding actors should have?????????" ??????! The so-called friend in need is a friend indeed can actually be put here. This difficult period may become a growth experience that they will never forget in their lifetime, and Brother Hao, you will also meet them because of this. Forge an unbreakable friendship!”
“I admit this, a difficult environment can better train and achieve people. Those who persevere without flinching or complaining in the face of such conditions will be able to recall this experience as something full of positive energy that stirs the soul! "
Ning Hao's echo seemed to indicate that he had been convinced.
Liu Qingshan put away the smile on his face: "In fact, if you think about it in reverse, if you don't use this cruel trick, wouldn't it be more difficult for those ordinary-looking actors to have a chance to turn around? Brother Hao, I know your character. I have always hated those movie promotion models such as hype and marketing.”
"It seems that Shanzi you have some investigations into me?"
"I can't say investigation, it's still necessary to understand. Regarding the list I will provide you next, in fact, I have already made a preliminary development plan around them. Isn't this statement surprising to Brother Hao?"
"Well, I really didn't expect your thinking to be so far-term!"
"Since their image is not up to standard and they are quite unfamiliar with the market's response, I would use an overly low-cost movie to create a different kind of gimmick to make up for their deficiencies in this aspect. Isn't it strange? Is necessary?"
"Obviously, combined with these, it is absolutely necessary! Shanzi, you don't need to explain more. I have suddenly figured it out now. The necessary hype and operation are not necessarily negative. Who does this mean? Image Poor actors really need to know some tricks!"
Jin Xishan nodded in agreement: "We in the Han Kingdom classify actors with this image as comedians. The only way to improve their reputation is to be on camera. After all, the film market in the Han Kingdom is limited, and actors with poor images cannot The path for career development is very narrow, so most of these actors later became variety show stars!"
Liu Qingshan agrees very much with this approach: "The market in China is huge, and there is a lot of room for actors to take advantage of, especially in comedy movies. We have a serious shortage of actors in mainland China, and when we make a good movie Comedy movies are much more difficult than shooting a good drama!"
Ning Hao deeply agrees: "It is much more difficult to make a comedy than to act in a drama. Acting in a comedy requires a certain amount of imagination, a sense of the audience, and a pre-judgement of how the audience will feel when they enjoy it. On the road to comedy It is full of thorns, and many people give up halfway. Maybe it is the hardship of life and the hardship of reality. Sooner or later, half of the comedy movies will completely collapse, so we need excellent actors in this area."
Liu Qingshan raised his glass and clinked it with him, drank it down in one gulp, and then wiped his mouth casually: "You and Sister Xishan both hit the point. The reason why I do this is to discover such talents!"
Even Fan Shengyang, who had been just eating and drinking, couldn't help but speak: "Really, Master, who among the famous comedians has never experienced the ups and downs that they can't bear to look back on? You can take out this small-scale movie and let them You can experience the hardships in difficult situations so that you won’t forget to cherish your hard-won success when you become famous in the future!”
Ning Hao is obviously a person of temperament. This is the second time he clapped his hands to express his emotions: "If I was a little confused before, after listening to these paragraphs, I am...???????" ????????I really understand Mr. Liu’s good intentions! Mr. Liu, I will still call you this from now on, because your vision and pattern are so far-reaching that I feel very ashamed of myself!”
Liu Qingshan was not willing to change him: "It's just a title, no matter what you call it, it's appropriate! But I'm not as smart as you think, but I'm looking at the problem from the perspective of a boss who owns the entire entertainment company!"
His self-justification did not seem to affect Ning Hao's perception at all: "More than just an entertainment company, your Snowland Studio is oriented to the world's most cutting-edge digital technology. I heard that in just over a year, it has already Seize at least 10% of Hollywood’s business!”
Liu Qingshan shook his head: "It's not that easy. I just helped them create a complete science fiction movie! Maybe there will be obvious business takeovers after the film is officially released. Now, it's Not even one-tenth of the success!"
Jin Xishan immediately explained: "Hollywood has a history of a hundred years, and their technology and work creation capabilities in the entertainment industry are unparalleled. It is already difficult for us in Xueyu to grab some orders, but such a piecemeal technology output method, in fact, The effect is not obvious. Only through the successful experience of making a film alone can we have a foothold in other people's century-old business!"
Liu Qingshan nodded: "The gap is still very obvious, and it is all-round! For example, as far as a certain genre of music is concerned, the country music of the United States appeared 50 years earlier than the folk music of China. The gap between It’s not like technology can complete detours and overtake. Their production technology and the entire record industry are indeed much more mature than domestic ones. It’s very difficult to close the gap in a short time!”
Jin Xishan added: "Snowland Entertainment may be the fastest to achieve detour overtaking, but the simple use of high technology cannot drive the development of the entire film industry. There are still many imperfections in it. They have decades of experience in forming corporate production. Model, or the rich experience in commercial operations and the infrastructure of production, dissemination and distribution, unilateral technological improvement is far from enough!”
"So Mr. Liu's development plan is to move toward industrialization?" Ning Hao finally explained the nature of Xueyu's development.
