Entertainment: The path of superstars from yearning

The official allocation for Operation Red Sea is 200 million yuan, and the president’s 400 million yuan, the extra 200 million yuan is naturally the leeks that Meng Fei cut for nothing.
Just kidding, this kind of political film is backed by the government, so the possibility of losing money is very small.
Those investment bigwigs naturally flocked to it, even if they were cut off by Meng Fei for nothing during the period, but they can get it back after the movie is released.
The official investment accounted for 50%, Taiqing Media accounted for 15%, Huaying accounted for 10%, Ari and Wanda together accounted for 15%, and the rest Huayi, Bona and other leaders in the circle accounted for the remaining 10%.
Adding the announcement of 100 million yuan, the total investment is 500 million yuan.
Such a large-scale production is unprecedented. You must know that when Wu Jing filmed Wolf Warrior 2, he was so poor that he sold his house directly.
Because no one was optimistic about the main theme at the time, it turned out that Wu Jing seemed to be lucky. The time, place and people were all in place, and the box office was 5.6 billion.
Meng Feibai can only use four words to describe this, it’s f*cking frenzied.
Of course, there are also official reasons for this, but the popularity of Wolf Warrior 2 is also really popular.
Wu Jing’s success was driven by the wind. Meng Feibai didn’t expect Red Sea’s box office to catch up with Wolf Warrior 2, unless something happened to make Operation Red Sea hit when it was released.
Neither Meng Feibai nor Taiqing reported on this incident, but the official media will not sit still.
“Meng Feibai and Han Sanping worked together to create “Operation Red Sea”. No matter where you are, when the lives and safety of our compatriots are in danger, we never choose to give up. No matter where you are or what kind of danger you encounter, please remember Live, behind you is a strong motherland.”
Yes, directly use the lines from Wolf Warrior 2 as the slogan.
The Communist Youth League also posted the same Weibo, which was directly listed as the number one trending topic by Zha Lang.
Just kidding, this is a mission movie. Although Zha Lang accepts the money, it doesn’t mean that Zha Lang dares not give it to anyone.
The leaders of the Communist Youth League were a little confused. When the Communist Youth League made their voices heard before, they were restricted by Weibo. They were not used to being diverted for the first time.
For a while, the discussion on the Internet went crazy.
This movie has only just been prepared, and it became popular before the crew set off. That’s embarrassing.
“The theme of evacuation of overseas Chinese? I remember that Wu Jing is in Wolf Warrior 2, is it also evacuation of overseas Chinese?”
“To be honest, I’m quite worried. Meng Feibai is not yet 30 years old. He’s too young. Will he overturn if he takes over such a big production?”
“I’m also worried. Although Meng Feibai’s achievements are obvious to all, the difficulty of this film is obviously not comparable to the previous films.”
“The theme of the navy! I hope to make another version of “Wolf Warrior 2”, and don’t make it into “Sky Hunter” by the big black bull.”
“What nonsense are you talking about? What is “Space Hunting”? It’s the love of a fighter plane.”
…
The main creators naturally cannot avoid the development conference and interviews with reporters.
“Excuse me, Director Meng. It is said that the prototype of this movie and the event of Wolf Warrior 2 are the same thing. Is it true?”
Meng Feibai said: “This is true, but if the same thing is photographed from different angles, it will have different effects.”
The reporter started to pick things up: “Then, may I ask Director Meng, is Operation Red Sea expected to surpass Wolf Warrior 2?”
Meng Feibai smiled and said: “Wolf Warrior 2 is a special case in terms of box office, and I think it will maintain a record for a long time in the future.
As for the other aspects you mentioned, it is difficult to evaluate, because although the incidents of our two films are the same, they have different emphases, which is incomparable.
Wolf Warrior 2 focuses on the spirit. Our script may focus more on the narrative, and will focus more on storytelling. The portrayal of the spirit may not be so heavy. ”
…
The reporter asked a few more tricky questions, which were all resolved by Meng Feibai.
What Meng Feibai said can be said to be watertight, and there is no room for people to make a fuss.
What is an old rascal? This is called an old hooligan.
“Director Meng, do you think we should invite some big-name stars to control the film? It’s safer.” Tang Jing said to Meng Feibai.
Tang Jing is one of the producers of this film. There are three producers of Operation Red Sea. Except for Meng Feibai and Han Sanye, this is Tang Jing.
Of course, we all know that this sister only has the right to participate in this kind of internal meeting, but not to make decisions.
The real decision-making power of the crew is in the hands of Meng Feibai and Han Sanye. When there is a disagreement, Meng Feibai has the final say.
Meng Feibai drove the weapon set handed over by the props.Ji Tu said at the same time: “I can’t afford to hire so many big names. I have 200 million to spend on props. I can’t afford to hire big names anymore. I can only hire cheap ones.”
Then he handed the blueprint to the prop designer and said, “The aim of the gun is wrong, take it back and redo it.”
Immediately afterwards, he looked at the people sitting in the conference room and said, “In order to save the cost of actors, let me play the role of Gu Shun, so as to save one actor’s salary. The rest of the actors…you decide.”
Han Sanye smiled and said: “Mr. Xiao Meng, I think Zhang Yi and Peng Yuchang in your company are good. Zhang Yi is quite suitable for the role of Yang Rui, and he has a lot of vigor. As for Peng Yuchang, Li Dao’s role is very good.” It suits him, he looks like a pretty honest guy.”
Because he wanted to avoid suspicion, it was not easy for Meng Feibai to speak up directly, so this kind of thing was settled with Han Sanye.
“Thank you, Third Master, for your love. You can wait and see, but you’ll have to try the play to find out whether it’s suitable or not.” Meng Fei said with a smile.
The bosses looked at these two people singing together, and they were a little confused. Are they treating them as fools? You really thought we couldn’t see that you two were in collusion, did you?
Besides, Sanye Han, can you act more naturally? Look at Mr. Ren Xiaomeng, he is indeed a professional actor, and he acted so well that we almost believed him.
Han Sanye said: “To be honest, we couldn’t think of a few suitable people at the moment. Mr. Xiao Meng should decide. After all, you are the director, and the actors you choose yourself are easier to direct.”
“Yes, yes, Mr. Xiaomeng will give you a list first. As for whether it is decided, we can discuss it later!” The one who spoke was Lao Fan from Ahri Films, who is also one of the producers.
Meng Feibai took out a piece of paper and a pen, and said, “Okay, then I’ll let Gan Gang make my own decision. I’ll write down the name I like, and you can discuss it.”
Meng Feibai wrote down a few names. Except for Gu Shun and Li Dong, the other names are exactly the same as the lineup of the Red Sea Operation in the previous life.
He thinks this lineup is the most suitable one. There may be preconceived factors, but at least the effect is known. If it is really necessary to switch to another person, Meng Feibai will have no idea.
Write their names according to their ranks: Zhang Yi, Du Jiang, Hai Qing, Zhang Hanyu, Peng Yuchang, Wang Qiang, Jiang Luxia, Wang Yanlin, etc.
After the final cast list is made, Meng Feibai’s name will be placed in the back, and it will not occupy the names of the leading actors.
Originally, Gu Shun’s roles were not the most important. Although there were many roles, they were not indispensable.
“Send invitations according to this list. If you have any objections, say now, I don’t want to have different voices after the machine is turned on. So if you have any difficulties or doubts, speak up now, and discuss and resolve them now. If you wait until If you turn on the phone and complain again, then don’t blame me for not being sympathetic.” Meng Feibai looked at the group of bosses in front of him and said very bluntly. .
