Superstars started as eunuchs

Chapter 394 What beats you is not necessarily naivety, it may be lack of shoes! (Two in one, five thousand words!)
Hearing Lin Dong's affirmative answer, Hong Tao and He Jiong looked at each other at this time.

Hong Tao's face unconsciously showed a hint of surprise.

He never thought that Lin Dong would agree to the invitation so readily.

As a director, it was not him who made the call to invite guests.

At the beginning, other staff members invited to come forward, but what he didn't expect was that this invitation was too difficult.

The other colleagues failed to invite them several times in succession. In the end, they really had no choice but to go to the battle in person.

Several well-known domestic singers, some of whom are currently participating in another singing competition program,
For example, in the program The Voice of China, the singers in it have also been invited,

Especially those singers who are mentors, they have also sent out invitations.

However, they were all rejected.

After all, for these people, they have been famous for a long time, and no one would want to be dragged to the stage of a competition again.

Doing such a risky thing, if it fails, will have a very bad impact on their reputation.

There are more than one or two people with this kind of consideration, which is why they haven't invited a few people to participate so far.

After receiving an invitation, most people will think about it for a long time before giving a reply.

It was the first time he met someone who gave such a quick reply like Lin Dong, and he still accepted the invitation.

"Well, I will ask our staff to rush over to discuss with you the specific procedures and then sign a corresponding contract," Hongtao happily said to Lin Dong.

Both Hong Tao and He Jiong knew that Lin Dong had opened an independent company by himself, so he had the right to handle his own affairs.

"No problem." Lin Dong also gave a very positive answer.

"By the way, I want to know how many other singers are invited this time?"

To be honest, he is still very curious about other participating singers.

For Lin Dong himself, he is not a well-known singer in the singer circle.

He only released one record.

Although the sales volume is not bad, but there are not many well-known songs.

Being able to participate in this program this time, Lin Dong was also somewhat curious and challenged.

He also wanted to see how strong he was.

"Well, besides you, there is Huangqishan, then there are Sha Baobao, Chen Ming, and Hong Kong singer Huang Guanzhong!" Director Hong Tao thought that Lin Dong was worried that there were not many famous singers who didn't want to come.

Hastily mentioned these well-known singers who have been invited by him this time!
One of Chen Ming's most famous songs is Happy Home.

Needless to say, Crown is a member of a famous band before, and the sea and the sky are the explosive songs they once sang.

"Oh! By the way, there is another Shang Wenjie this time, who is currently on our invitation list. She has basically agreed to come and is still signing the contract."

Shang Wenjie, a girl who had participated in the Manggo Taiwan singing competition before, was invited by them this time as a pretense.

Teacher Hongtao was still worried that Lin Dong might go back on his word, and he also wanted to stabilize Lin Dong's heart.

These people are all well-known singers in China. Lin Dong shouldn't regret it now, right?

Teacher Hongtao had a slightly uncertain tone, which actually made He Jiong, who was familiar with Lin Dong, smile crookedly.

Of course, he can understand Teacher Hongtao's worry, but in his opinion, he is more convinced of Lin Dong's character.

Because he knew that since Lin Dong had accepted the invitation, he had already made up his mind, and there would be no such thing as going back on his word!

"The cost will be calculated according to your market price, right?" He Jiong said.

"It's just a matter of negotiating with my agent at that time. It's not a big problem!" Lin Dong really didn't have too many requirements for the appearance fee.

He was just more concerned about this competition, because this competition aroused a lot of curiosity in him.

He also wants to see how far he can go on the road of singing?

Hearing what Lin Dong said, Hongtao slowly let out a sigh of relief, and it could be regarded as slowly letting go of the heart that had just been suspended.

He Jiong didn't dare to laugh until the phone hung up.

Seeing He Jiong's almost crooked smile, Hong Tao asked curiously: "Why are you smiling?"

"Hahaha, you just haven't been in contact with Lin Dong. If you have been in contact with him a few times, you will understand that since he promised, he will not go back on his word!" He Jiong's words were also given to Hongtao I took a reassurance pill.

The movie "Chilling War" is finally released in China.

The box office record on the first day quickly reached 5000 million, which surprised many people.

Then the box office record in the first week reached an astonishing 2 million yuan.

For gangster movies, this movie has reached a whole new level.

This box office has shocked many film critics and people in the circle.

Although this movie is indeed a very good movie in terms of plot and plot.

What they didn't expect was that the box office of this movie could be so high.

Could it be that the domestic film industry has begun to recover?
This trend has been faint in the past few years, and it is becoming more and more obvious now.

If it was a gangster movie like this in the past, it would be considered a very good movie if it could earn more than [-] million at the box office.

But the movie Chills proved everything with its own box office strength, and it explained everything.

What is the reason?Is it because of the actors?Or is it really because the film industry has entered a warm spring?

After all, the box office of the movies that Lin Dong has joined has always been guaranteed with certain results.

This matter has been pulled out by professional personnel long ago, and all the films that Lin Dong joined basically have a very impressive box office.

Seeing such a high box office, Lin Dong was smiling at home. He invested 1000 million in this movie.

According to the current rhythm, even if the theaters go offline after three weeks, it will still have a box office of at least 4 million.

At that time, his final share will also be very impressive.

"Sure enough, I still have vision!" Lin Dong was very happy looking at the box office report on Weibo.

A little proudly, he glanced at Shu Chang who was holding the baby next to him.

Seeing Lin Dong's embarrassing expression, Shu Chang gave Lin Dong a supercilious look. This guy is too narcissistic.

I don't know how I fell in love with this guy in the first place?
Do you like his good looks, or his good driving skills?

"You don't understand!" Lin Dong shook his head with a smile. In the past two days, it wasn't just the drama of Chills that brought him very good news.

Similarly, the production of the cartoon The Return of the Great Sage has also begun to improve.

What I learned from Tian Xiaopeng is that this animation can basically be completed in the summer of next year according to the current progress.

Then there are various related procedures and other procedures, and the final release is estimated to be at the end of next year.

This time seems to be a bit long!
But Tian Xiaopeng also said before that if the software produced by Lin Dong hadn't accelerated the progress of this movie, I am afraid that the release time would be delayed even longer, or even indefinitely.

It’s all because Lin Dong’s software brought them very convenient operations, especially some hair-related special effects, with excellent rendering results.

Lin Dong's software is currently invincible.

Before the software produced by Lin Dong, they had to hand over many aspects of special effects to other companies for completion.

These projects have caused a lot of headaches for the special effects artists of the contracting companies, and it is common for special effects artists to leave directly.

Some contracting companies are really unable to complete this business in the end.

Therefore, it often happens that these projects delay the entire project.

Fortunately, Lin Dong's software was available in the later stage, which speeded up their production of this animation, and the results were amazing.

Otherwise, this animation may really have to wait until 2015 before it can really meet the audience.

At that time, what will be more important is not time, but people's hearts!Waiting for too long has exhausted my patience.

Tian Xiaopeng is also a little thankful that he was able to meet Lin Dong, otherwise many members of his team would collapse under such pressure.

There is another thing that makes Lin Dong happy.

The previously negotiated script adaptation of the novel Ghost Blowing the Lamp has been completed.

For the rest, he will start looking for investors from the director and the production of the film.

It is still difficult to get started in this area, but fortunately, Lin Dong is also familiar with many people in the circle.

Originally, Lin Dong planned to invest all by himself, but found that there were many places that he couldn't take care of comprehensively.

In fact, sometimes the purpose of attracting some investors is to add some other channels for yourself.

There are some investment companies that are deeply entrenched in the film industry.

So through their investment, Lin Dong's movies can be brought to the market faster!

This is also what Lin Dong needs.

This is like a hidden rule.

After some negotiations, Lin Dong successfully received an investment of 2000 million.

Of course, the investment is mainly for this movie.

The rest of the investment depends on Lin Dong himself!

The big deal is to sell two houses.

Lin Dong is not worried about the investment funds at all.

On the other hand, the special effects and CG animation teams.

For this reason, Lin Dong also approached Tian Xiaopeng, contacted many people in the industry, and recruited a group of relatively good technicians to form a brand new team.

Lin Dong also specially registered a brand new company for this team called: a very large special effects company.

As for why such a name was chosen, the main reason is that it sounds very domineering.

It is also very tall, and one can tell that it is a very large company.

Lin Dong also handed over all the brand-new CG animation software he had developed through perspective to this group of people.

Of course, in order to keep it confidential, all work needs to be done in the company, and a confidentiality contract has been signed.

Lin Dong didn't want these employees to go home to work, at least temporarily.

It was mainly because of the software problem. This brand new software was developed and manufactured by him alone, and many technologies in it were written by his sudden inspiration.

Compared with other foreign software of the same type, Lin Dong's software is more efficient and smarter.

As far as shooting equipment is concerned, Lin Dong has no plans to buy it yet, so he also chooses to rent it.

Then there is the personnel aspect, for the role of Hu Bayi, Lin Dong temporarily feels that it is more suitable for him to play the role.

What about other characters?

For example, who should play the fat man?And who plays Shirley Young?

These are all a headache for Lin Dong.

"What method do you think I should use?" Lin Dong looked at Shu Chang who was coaxing the baby to sleep.

Since it is decided to start shooting this movie, all aspects need to be considered very carefully.

The aspect of choosing the right actors is also the top priority of this movie.

Hearing Lin Dong's question, Shu Sing shook the child gently,
Then he went on to say: "For the role of Xue Liyang, I think it's better to choose an actress who has studied abroad to play, so that she has a lot of experience overseas, basically it won't be too empty."

Shu Chang's words were not unreasonable. Lin Dong nodded slightly after hearing this to express his approval, and then asked, "Then who do you think is more suitable?"

"Liu Yifei!" Shu Chang blurted out while holding the child, obviously this answer had already appeared in her mind.

Lin Dong nodded slightly. Indeed, in terms of identity, Liu Yifei had also studied abroad, which fits very well with Sydney Yang's identity in the movie.

However, in Lin Dong's view, what Shu Chang neglected was that Liu Yifei seemed to be relatively gentle, and her personality also seemed very gentle.

In the original book, Xue Liyang is brave, calm, shrewd and has a vigorous skill. In comparison, Liu Yifei is at least a lot different in terms of body shape.

The main reason is that many of the roles played by Liu Yifei before are relatively gentle, with the gentle beauty of a very classical woman.

"Although it's a good choice, I think we should be able to find something that fits the original!" Of course, this is Lin Dong's idea.

Are there any actresses in the circle who are more suitable in all aspects?Lin Dong has not thought of it yet.

For this reason, Lin Dong, the producer, the screenwriter, etc., including the author of this novel, Tianxia Pachang, began to screen all currently suitable actresses,
They also hope to find a more suitable actress to join this movie and participate in the production of this movie.

Because in Lin Dong's thinking, this movie can be regarded as a long story, and several episodes can be filmed together at that time, but these are all things to come.

After several days of selection, Lin Dong and the others finally selected a few good characters, one was Liu Yifei, and the other was Zhang Yuqi.

Zhang Yuqi came into Lin Dong's sight, mainly because Zhang Yuqi has always given people the impression of a relatively carefree and upright person, which made Lin Dong feel that she matched the character of Xue Liyang, the protagonist of this novel, very well.

"Which company does Zhang Yuqi work for now?" Lin Dong asked.

The staff next to him also quickly inquired about the information, and then looked at Lin Dong and said that Zhang Yuqi currently belongs to Zhou Xingxing's Xingyao Company.

Well, let's call Zhou Xingxing first to see if he can be brought over for an interview to see if it's good or bad.

Let’s talk about it then. Although the main impression is very good, whether it can perform very well in the performance will depend on the strength of the acting skills in the later stage.

Zhou Xingxing was also very surprised when he received Lin Dong's call.

"Lin Dong, I heard that you are really going to start making movies now? Is this the rhythm of comprehensive development?"

Hearing that Lin Dong was going to make a movie early in the morning, Zhou Xingxing was also very curious and asked in surprise.

Obviously, I still don't believe that Lin Dong really wants to make a movie. After all, it is not that simple for an actor to become a director.

"Yes, that's right, I'm going to make a movie, haha, then I will ask Director Zhou to teach me a lot as a newbie!"

Lin Dong also told Zhou Xingxing about it very straightforwardly.

"Haha, that's easy to talk about! Sigh, I've actually been thinking about making a movie recently, but right now, I only have an outline of the story, and I don't have too many thoughts on the rest."

"Are you going to make a movie too? Then what's the name of your movie?" Lin Dong asked curiously.

"Currently, the general theme of this movie is related to the sea mermaid. But it's just the outline of the story. I guess it will take at least 14 years to start filming, right?"

Zhou Xingxing's tone was obviously a little depressed, obviously because he was worried about this matter!
"14 years? That's great, I'm going to borrow someone from you now. See if you have time to let this person come to me to audition and see the specific situation, okay?"

Lin Dong immediately became excited, Zhang Yuqi was Zhou Xingxing's star girl, if Master Xing didn't need her for the time being, Lin Dong could borrow her for a while.

"Okay! Of course it's good to have a filming!" Of course Zhou Xingxing would not refuse such a good thing.

Hearing Zhou Xingxing agree so readily, Lin Dong said happily, "I want Zhang Yuqi from your company this time."

"Has she been filming recently? If there is a free period now, we can arrange for her to come to our company for a simple interview first."

"If it's a good fit, I might let her play the female lead in my movie."

"Okay! There's no problem with this, I'll ask the manager here to tell Zhang Yuqi."

"If you have any other questions in the future, you can talk about it in detail, just remember to return the person to me after the filming!"

Zhou Xingxing directly pushed the business card of Zhang Yuqi's agent to Lin Dong. Couldn't he say more?Anyway, after signing the contract, the actor was basically left alone, and the details were left to the agency to handle.

After receiving a text message from Zhou Xingxing, Lin Dong looked at the business card of Zhang Yuqi's manager.

The big characters on it came into view impressively, Yang Wuxie!
What defeats you is not necessarily naivety, it may be lack of shoes!
