While the e-sports circle is attracting a lot of attention due to its rectification, some time ago there was a lot of commotion on the Internet due to casting issues, and Zhu Xian, which was even called the trigger of the earthquake in the entertainment industry, quietly started filming.
Haina Company attaches great importance to this filming, to what extent?
Even Yang Dongxu, a big boss who has never seen the beginning or end of a dragon, attended the opening ceremony, which shows how much Haina attaches importance to the movie "Zhu Xian".
After all, this movie cannot be overemphasized to Heiner, because in addition to the large investment and the possibility of a failure if the film is not shot well, this movie has attracted too much attention now.
What Haina's top management attaches great importance to is the fact that Zhu Xian will compete with Hollywood blockbusters next year. You know, Heiner entered Hollywood a long time ago.
And I made a lot of money there, but I always felt like I wasn't doing anything well. Even though Yang Dongxu later got acquainted with the consortium in California, this phenomenon has not fundamentally changed.
In Hollywood, it is well received but not popular. It can only make money but cannot control fundamental resources and voice. Heiner can say that he is not accustomed to the local environment in the United States, and it can be said that the United States is xenophobic and unfriendly to Heiner.
After all, Heiner has made money in Hollywood, and he has made a lot of money, which proves that he is not incompetent in business. So with this reason, coupled with his status as a well-deserved hegemon in the Asian entertainment industry, no one else can really say anything.
But this time is different. This time, he is facing the impact of American movies in his own base. If this fails, it will really have a big impact on the image of a big shot that Heiner has always established.
Therefore, during the film's opening ceremony, even Yang Dongxu, the big boss who came and went during the company's annual meeting, participated, which shows how much attention is paid to the film.
"You don't have to surround me. What are you supposed to do?" Yang Dongxu looked kind-hearted with a smile on his face.
In addition to the people from Haina Company, he was surrounded by many directors and celebrities from Hong Kong. Of course, in addition to being celebrities, these celebrities also had another identity, that is, martial arts instructors.
The core of Yang Dongxu's final decision on the movie "Zhu Xian" was the connotation. Those superstars did not look at the box office appeal, but only looked at the acting skills and whether they fit the role.
Superstars don't care about the little fresh meat that has become popular in the past two years, so they naturally stand aside. So when you look at the set of such a hugely expensive movie, you will find that the director and martial arts instructors are more famous and famous than the actors.
The chief director of Zhu Xian Movie still chose Xu Ke after comprehensive consideration. Those who could agree with the previous choices were given to Xu Ke as his deputy, and those who could not cooperate were left alone. Because looking at the entire Asian entertainment industry, "The Legend of Shushan" is definitely a monument in terms of fantasy or fairy tale movies.
So since Xu Ke was thought of from the beginning, there is no reason not to let him be the chief director.
After a few polite words, the staff who had come over to show their faces in front of the big boss, or other celebrities who wanted to say hello, all left without hesitation.
The purpose of getting in front of the boss is to leave a good impression on the boss, not to leave an impression of being ignorant. Since the boss doesn't like being surrounded by so many people, he naturally leaves in a sensible way.
People dispersed and the surroundings became much cleaner. Yang Dongxu and Xu Ke walked to the rest area on the side and stood chatting without sitting down.
"Don't feel any pressure when shooting. Just shoot according to your ideas. You are responsible for professional matters and I will not interfere. However, the ugliness comes first. I am not satisfied with what you took and need to retake it.
Of course, if I am dissatisfied, I will definitely be able to come up with reasons to convince you. Likewise, if you think it’s OK and I think it’s not, if you can convince me, I’ll listen to you. "Yang Dongxu and Xu Ke said straightforwardly without being polite.
Although Xu Ke is a great director, not to mention a god in the field of directing, he is definitely the top existence.
But even at the top level, they are half a head lower in front of capital, not to mention a big capital like Yang Dongxu.
Of course, people who are successful in a certain field have a temper. Although Yang Dongxu's status is a bit scary, Xu Ke is also a person with a temper.
After all, no matter how big your capital is and how awesome your status is, if I quit, what can you do to me?
So Xu Ke frowned as soon as Yang Dongxu's words fell, and he did not hide the displeasure on his face. It was a bit insulting to reshoot if he was not satisfied. After all, as a director, he had already retaken it if he was not satisfied. You will definitely be satisfied with what you see.
I am satisfied but you are not satisfied? Why can't I lose my ability as a director? But he didn't have a seizure on the spot.
Because Yang Dongxu is different from other capitals in the Mainland. This is not only a big capital in the Mainland, but also a big capital in Hong Kong, and even the overlord of the entire Asian entertainment industry.
Coal boss, or other such capital, he can give up and leave. But facing Yang Dongxu, he really didn't dare to face Yang Dongxu directly. However, he didn't dare to throw away his face directly. He had a temper and did not hide his dissatisfaction. This was his last insistence.
And Yang Dongxu is obviously not the kind of person who uses his power to overwhelm others, so after he said the unpleasant words, he turned his head and said something that made Xu Ke, who had an unswerving expression, instantly become a little entangled.
"Whatever the requirements are, there must be a price to pay. The funds currently invested in this drama are only current investments, and the budget can be increased at any time."
Tsui Hark's struggles are not limited to this time. He has struggled with casting issues before. In terms of actors, Heiner didn't hire any big-name stars at all, and he had some opinions of his own on this point.
But after you understand the script, especially the characters in the script. One thing Heiner said is that apart from the fact that these actors are not big names with box office appeal, their acting skills are really indescribable and are extremely consistent with the characteristics of the characters.
At the same time, although it does not have the box office appeal of a big-name star, Heiner is responsible for publicity. At the same time, coupled with the attention of this drama, it seems that it is not impossible without the appeal of a big-name star, so he has acquiesced in this.
Without big-name stars, a huge amount of money is left, although there is still a lot of money needed for post-production and special effects.
But the remaining money left Tsui Hark scratching his head as to how he should spend it. He had never fought such a wealthy battle, so he didn't sleep well for several days.
As a result, I never thought that I had just made a rough plan on how to use the funds in my hand, but the boss said again that the money was not enough and I could add more.
This confused Tsui Hark.
Since entering this industry, he has only encountered various investors who begged them to increase their budget. He has never been given such money that he didn't know how to spend it.
This happy trouble is still real.
Tsui Hark was struggling with the big boss's words, while the rest of the crew was busy at this time. After the opening ceremony, the scene was warmed up to shoot a scene, and the crew was doing final scene inspections.
The actors were checking their costumes and memorizing their lines. There is a scene to be filmed after today's opening ceremony. Now everyone is a little nervous and dare not be careless in the slightest.
"Yaya, come here." Someone not far away called out to Tong Yaya, and it turned out that the person calling her was none other than Zhuo Qing'er, the chief costume designer of the show.
"Come on, sister!" Tong Yaya responded and trotted over.
