Bright Era of China Entertainment

Gansu Film and Television City is actually called Great Dunhuang Film and Television City, but as the only film and television base in Gansu, people in the industry often call it by the provincial name.

There are very few tourists here, because it is located in a very remote area, located in the Gobi Desert near the national highway between Lanzhou and Yinchuan. It is troublesome for tourists to come and see it, even if they come by car, they have to walk a long way on the Gobi Desert.

What's more, the weather is extremely hot, so the flow of people is even less.

Chu Xuan arrived at the airport here at nine o'clock in the morning, and had been driving for two hours. Except for the vehicles going to and from the city, there were almost no people in the Gobi Desert on the left and right.

It was close to the film and television city, and he saw the appearance of the film and television city with his own eyes.

This film and television city is very small, only 5000 square meters, smaller than those large convention centers in the city.

But its outline shape is very similar to those sports centers, just like a valley, surrounded on all sides, plus the unique spectacle similar to Mogao Grottoes here, you feel mysterious and sad when you are in it.

Producer Li Xue and director Kong Sheng took a fancy to this point, and used this place as the place where the Meiling decisive battle in the play, the place where the Red Flame Army was surrounded and swore not to surrender, was slaughtered.

At that time, I will take some photos of the background of the sunset red sky, and the scene will be as bleak as I think.

"Hello, teachers." Chu Xuan greeted, and led the assistant team towards the crew.

The large crew of the crew was still in Hengcheng, only Li Xue brought a small team here to preside over the work.

The film crew set up a dozen or so awnings on the Gobi Desert outside the gate of the film and television city, and the film and television city has its own resting and sheltered place, and the staff followed the high-level planning of the film and television crew to plan or arrange props in twos and threes.

"Young Marshal is here." Li Xue raised her hand and waved, Yu Rongguang, Ren Quan and other actors looked over with a smile, each holding a bottle of mineral water in their hands to quench their thirst at any time.

"Is it all filmed here?" Chu Xuan walked to Li Xue and asked.

Li Xue looked around and pointed to several places in the distance.

Chu Xuan followed his fingers to see that on the endless Gobi, there were very dry and arid mountains and rocks standing up, forming a number of strange and steep mountain roads and trails, and there were also areas covered with green plants in the distance, all of which will be taken as a battlefield. location.

"Shoot these exterior scenes first, and finally go back to the studio to shoot the details." Li Xue said, opened the mineral water and took a sip.

Chu Xuan nodded, this was also the original plan in the shooting plan.

For the battlefield scenes of such large scenes, the formation and charging posture are first shot in the real scene, and then go to the studio to shoot the details of the fighting under the green cloth. In the final editing, the real scene replaces the green cloth, and the special effects of thousands of troops are added to the green cloth. .

This is the normal production process for large-scale scenes.

Many people think that special effects images are all shot in a studio, and all can be done with computer production.

It is indeed possible, but the picture quality produced by computers is either science fiction, anime, or fantasy.

Only when the real scene is used as the base and the computer is used for rendering, the rendering parameters are adjusted based on the data of the real scene, and the final overall picture is real and has the unity of the front and rear painting styles.

"Little Hu." Li Xue waved to a person in the shed, saw this person walking quickly, and introduced to Chu Xuan: "This is Hu Yanbin, two songs were selected by the company as your Lin Shu's promotional songs, now Only the demo, he specially came here to feel the atmosphere of the scene so that he could record the song, and the promotional videos featuring you, Lin Shu, were also filmed here."

"Hi Chu Xuan, I'm Hu Yanbin." Hu Yanbin walked over.

"Hello." Chu Xuan shook hands with him: "I met you at the Weiyu night, but I didn't expect to be able to cooperate here."

"My honor." Hu Yanbin smiled, feeling excited.

Now the domestic music circle can be described as a battle between gods and gods, with all kinds of good songs emerging one after another, it is as difficult as climbing the sky to get ahead.

But people in the music circle have a consensus that if their songs can be connected with popular TV dramas, they may be able to take off in place.

Just like "He must love you very much" in "Male Talent and Female Appearance", the sales of Adu's album have exploded.

Just like the various episodes in "Sword of Heaven", the musicians and music companies behind it also gained a lot.

Just like "Unparalleled Under Heaven" in "Sculpture of God", Zhang Liangying's popularity and popularity are directly comparable to Li Yuchun's.

These are all popular TV series, and the rapid development momentum brought to singers is also a shortcut for singers to become popular in this era.

Many people have seen the series of popular dramas in the Brilliant Times. When "Legend of Red Flame" sent the theme song, episode and promotional song production letters to major music companies and music studios, many people began to move around, wanting to catch this rare one. Chance.

He also submitted a lot of national style songs. Although he was not selected as the theme song or episode, he was selected as the promotional song of the male lead Chu Xuan, which also made him very excited.

Who in the country is hotter than Chu Xuan?He could cooperate with Chu Xuan in his song, and he had a premonition that he was going to be popular too.

"What song, can I listen to it now?" Seeing that nothing happened for a while, Chu Xuan became interested in Hu Yanbin's promotional song.

"There is only a demo, no arrangement yet." Hu Yanbin took out the mp4 and earphones from his pocket. The demo is a melody plus singing voice, a sample song without instruments, an incomplete music without an arrangement, only composition and lyrics.

Chu Xuan put on the earphones and listened: "It's very nice."

"I sang the first song once and don't want to sing it a second time." Hu Yanbin shook his head.

"There are so many shifts, most people can't sing." Chu Xuan nodded.

"Chu Xuan, go to practice?" Li Xue said, pointing to an equestrian teacher leading a horse not far away.

Chu Xuan took off the earphones and returned them to Hu Yanbin, and walked out of the studio with Ren Quan, Yu Rongguang and other actors, ready to start their equestrian training phase.

It was almost twelve o'clock at noon, and they had to endure equestrianism under the scorching sun.

……

New Haven, it's almost twelve o'clock at night.

Under the night, accompanied only by the faint moonlight, Concubine Liu Yi lay on her side on the bed, although her eyes were closed, she couldn't fall asleep no matter what.

She invited Erlande to have dinner at the Chinese restaurant tonight, which was a normal situation of friendship, but Erlande is a talker, so let's talk about everything.

This made her feel funny. Is this Erlander really so pure, or does he not take her seriously, or is he just like this?

The two are not very familiar with each other yet, and they don't talk about anything. This Erlande is cute enough.

There is one thing that Erlande's speaker has no intention, but she, the listener, does.

Aland's boyfriend's family opened a film and television company, but it is losing money every year and will not be able to operate. Aland's boyfriend is the sole heir. Seeing the situation of his family's company, he is in a very bad mood.

Erlande saw that her boyfriend was in a bad mood, but there was nothing he could do about it, so he complained a little in front of her.

After hearing what Eland said, she also roughly figured out the relationship.

Erlande and her boyfriend were able to go to school in high school. One inherited the family business as a film and television producer, and the other pursued her dream of acting to become an actor.

The families of the two are not balanced. The former is rich, while the latter can only be regarded as a small asset.

When her boyfriend sent Ailande to Yale University to study at Yale University, the boyfriend's family found out about it, and the boyfriend's parents were very dissatisfied, thinking that Ailande was not good enough for their family, and Ailande himself knew this.

So Eland sees that her boyfriend is in trouble, and has the idea of ​​helping her boyfriend together with her self-esteem. One is to prove herself and the other is to get the approval of her boyfriend's family.

It's like a country girl and Gao Fushuai sincerely love each other. Gao Fushuai's family doesn't approve and encounter difficulties. Who would have thought that the humble country girl wants to play tricks to slap her boyfriend's family in the face and prove her role as an urban heroine? .

But the reality is, that boyfriend is neither tall nor handsome, only rich, and the country girl has no cheats.

Concubine Liu Yi made such a summary of this matter. This matter had nothing to do with her, but she thought of something, which aroused her thinking.

In the dark night, she suddenly opened her eyes, and the things in her heart made her unable to make up her mind.

She lifted the quilt, turned on the light in the bedroom, put on her slippers, opened the door and ran into her mother's bedroom.

Her movement caused Caitlin in the room on the same floor to suddenly open her sleepy eyes on the bed, and also made Jess on the lower floor stand still in the room and listen. It took a while for the two of them to return to normal.

Liu Xiaoli had already fallen asleep, and was also awakened by her daughter's movement.

"What's the matter? You still don't sleep at night." She frowned and turned on the light in the bedroom.

Concubine Liu Yi took off her shoes and went to bed, leaning on her mother's side: "Mom, there is something I want to tell you."

"What can't we talk about tomorrow?" Liu Xiaoli yawned and raised her eyelids.

"Don't tell me I can't sleep." Concubine Liu Yi saw her mother was going to sleep again, she took her mother's arm and shook her body.

Feeling helpless, Liu Xiaoli opened her eyes and said, "Let's talk about it, I also convinced you."

Concubine Liu Yi watched her mother make a hearing statement, and she quickly explained the situation to her mother.

After listening to this, Liu Xiaoli frowned: "Irland's boyfriend's family's company is not doing well, what's your business? You want to help Ailande? You don't know her very well, and you've only known her for a few days?"

"Mom, listen to me." Concubine Liu Yi said, "If I help her boyfriend solve the problem that the company's capital flow is difficult to maintain the company's operation through Ailande's relationship, what will happen to Ailande? What will happen to her boyfriend?"

"What exactly do you want?" Liu Xiaoli was at a loss.

Concubine Liu Yi straightened out her thoughts and spoke out what was in her heart.

"The size of her boyfriend's company is...about the same as Tang Ren's. It's about the same size, but it's better than Tang Ren's. It can produce movies and TV shows."

"Through my relationship with Eland, I can help her boyfriend solve the difficulty of maintaining the company's cash flow. In my mind, I can achieve several goals."

"The first purpose is that the equipment of this film and television company can be purchased, and the film and television industry foundation of the bright era needs these equipment and equipment."

"No." Liu Xiaoli retorted: "You can buy low-grade equipment and equipment at will. As long as you have money, why insist on finding this company."

Concubine Liu Yi didn't hesitate to think: "Wouldn't it be tricked to buy from another company? Whether it's price or quality, if we cheat, we can only suffer dumb losses, but this company is facing a shortage of funds. In the case of urgent need for money, If they still want to cheat us, then we will leave at worst."

Liu Xiaoli probably understood: "Your idea is that you want to use funds to invest in this company. The investment terms include some equipment and equipment, so that they don't dare to cheat us, because we can withdraw the capital at any time."

"That's what it means." Concubine Liu Yi nodded repeatedly.

"Continue to talk." Liu Xiaoli became serious. It seemed that her daughter had something important hidden in her heart.

"The second purpose is that Brilliant Times has bought the copyrights of many foreign novels over the years, such as "Twilight" and "A Song of Ice and Fire."

"Under the previous discussions between Chu Xuan and Sister Hua, it was used to open up overseas cooperation channels, such as overseas distribution channels, overseas production channels, overseas artist channels, etc."

"However, if it is to cooperate with the eight major or large companies in Hollywood, the interests and goals that Bright Times can seek will definitely lower expectations."

"But now there is a troubled film and television company close at hand, with distribution channels, artist channels, production capabilities, etc."

"If we can help it solve its predicament and successfully acquire shares, will Chu Xuan and Sister Hua's idea of ​​opening up overseas channels go much smoother?"

Hearing what her daughter said, Liu Xiaoli was very surprised. She guessed that her daughter had something big in her heart, but she didn't expect it to be so big, and it was all related to the overseas development of Brilliant Times.

"It was Chu Xuan who helped you all the time before, but now you want to help Chu Xuan?" She understood her daughter's heart.

"One is to help him, and the other is to prove myself." Concubine Liu Yi said, "I don't want to tell Chu Xuan about this, and you don't want to tell Sister Hua either. I want to handle it by myself."

Fighting spirit erupted in her eyes, and Liu Xiaoli shook her head: "The capital required to invest in a film and television company is not a fractional sum. If you don't tell Chu Xuan and Sister Hua, where did you get the money?"

Concubine Liu Yi blinked, and said: "The film and television companies all have continuous income from copyrights, they don't just close down when they close down, according to Erlande, her boyfriend's family's company is about to fail, and it will definitely last for a while. "

"I don't want to cooperate right away. At most, I just discuss an intention with her boyfriend through Erlande's relationship. Her boyfriend and her boyfriend's family will definitely think it over carefully and won't enter into detailed negotiations immediately."

"Although I'm American, I must use Chu Xuan's banner when I go to talk, otherwise they won't even meet me. I am self-aware of this."

"During this period, I was also betting that the page game between me and Chu Xuan would really succeed, and then I would successfully become a shareholder of Brilliant Times according to the original plan. Then I would have the confidence to have a detailed discussion with them."

"At that time, you can also tell Chu Xuan and Sister Hua about this matter. Let Chu Xuan and I discuss the details together."

Liu Xiaoli caressed her daughter's face: "Your sister Hua also told me about the idea of ​​overseas development planning, but the domestic affairs have not yet been fully rolled out, so I will not consider going abroad for the time being."

"But if you can help Brilliant Times deploy overseas in advance through your own means, your sister Hua will be very happy, Chu Xuan will also be proud of you, and the company's shareholders will also look at you differently."

Concubine Liu Yi squinted her eyes. This thought came out of the blue. Hearing what her mother said, her anticipation grew a little bit stronger.

She added: "There is a third purpose. I heard from Eland that her boyfriend originally took over the family's company in a few years. With the help of me and Chu Xuan, Eland's boyfriend should take over the company as usual. .”

"And I used Ailande's relationship to help her boyfriend, which means Ailande used her personal connections to help her boyfriend. Then her boyfriend and his family will definitely look at Ailande with admiration."

"Irland will also be grateful to me and become good sisters with me."

"You and Sister Hua often say that I am Chu Xuan's only weakness, and if you control me, you can control Chu Xuan."

"Take heart to heart, Eland and her boyfriend really love each other, and I'm good sisters with Eland, when the time comes, Chu Xuan and I will go to talk to her boyfriend through Eland, Eland's position in her boyfriend's heart is definitely It's going to go straight up."

"With this relationship added to the cooperation between the two parties, I think it will be more friendly and have a basis for trust in future cooperation."

Liu Xiaoli "tsk tsk" twice, then shook her head: "You can do it now, you have understood human nature."

Concubine Liu Yi wrinkled her nose cutely, and arched coquettishly in her mother's arms: "I'm not stupid, I've seen so many markets with you, I have to think about something."

Liu Xiaoli stroked her daughter's hair: "Grow up."

Hearing her mother's tone of treating her like a child, Concubine Liu Yi hummed pretending to be unhappy, threw off the quilt, got out of bed and ran to her bedroom: "I'll think about it myself, good night, mom."

Liu Xiaoli glanced at the back of her daughter leaving, and came here in the middle of the night to tell her such a thing, which was beyond her expectation.

And what I'm talking about are all ideas obtained only after a short exchange with friends, which sounds a bit unrealistic, after all, there are too many unknown information factors.

But she doesn't want to hurt her daughter, she just does it when she has an idea, how can she know if her idea can be realized if she doesn't do it?
Even if you encounter difficulties, just find a way to solve it.

I just don't want to tell Chu Xuan, and let her not tell Wang Jinhua...

This is really growing up and wanting to be on my own.

Liu Xiaoli smiled softly, pulled the quilt over, closed her eyes and fell asleep. (end of this chapter)
