Chapter 202 Early Trolls

The cool breeze is blowing, and Rongguang's flow of guests has ended today. Under the big tree, several creative people are drinking a large bowl of tea together.

"Guangzi, I heard that your "Spark" was well received outside? And it was sold at a high price. That's a combination of fame and fortune!" Li Chengru said with a smile.

Rong Guang smiled bitterly and shook his head: "Teacher Li, please stop supporting me. I can only say that it's okay, art films really don't make money."

Here, it is not Rong Guang's modesty. The total production cost of "Sparks" was 33.5 million, and the buyout price was 4 million US dollars? It was still sold in a package. It can only be said to be barely breakeven. This does not include Rong Guang's own salary.

?

The bulk of the production cost is shooting outdoor scenes in the capital, often renting venues to clear out the filming, and sometimes needing to find many extras. The money is spent like water.

Therefore, the sixth generation directors like to shoot domestic local themes. There are indeed other reasons, but one of them is very important - they really can't afford to shoot scenes in urban locations!

"Then are you still going to make local comedies in the future?" He Bing asked.

"Director Feng's direction is right. We should make local comedies bigger now." Rong Guang said with a smile, "In the past, there was only one tree in the mainland, Director Feng. Now there are more young men. There are also annual youth creative competitions.

, I don’t know how many new people can be cultivated. So I won’t join in the fun. I’m going to make blockbusters!”

"Blockbuster?" Deng Jie looked at Rong Guang doubtfully.

"Sister, my definition for a blockbuster is: the total investment exceeds 100 million, and the main creators are all top-tier celebrities."

"100 million?" Several other people were shocked. Zhang Guoli asked anxiously, "Can photons make money?"

"If you don't do it, how will you know?" Rong Guang explained with a smile, "The previous "Crouching Tiger, Hidden Dragon" had a box office of 128 million in North America and almost 200 million globally! In the summer season, my "Er Lang Shen" will also do the same.

It will be released simultaneously in North America and Hong Kong. If the box office also exceeds 100 million, domestic blockbusters will have broken a new path."

"Do they all rely on overseas markets?" Li Chengru asked.

"That's all we can do now. Relying on overseas buyouts to recoup our investment, we can make whatever money is at the domestic box office." In front of these seniors, Rong Guang didn't hide anything, "For something like this, you definitely can't do it alone, you definitely need to work together.

Overseas. For example, "Game of Nations", European film producers paid for it because of Zhu Shimao's "Wrangler". For example, "Protagonist and Supporting Actor", the overseas box office exceeded 200 million US dollars. Let me say something big here.

To put it bluntly, without my "Add a Long Lens", US$20 million would be too much. No overseas film studio is even willing to buy the film!"

Zhang Guoli and the others all understood what Rong Guang meant. He Bing nodded: "The predecessors planted trees, and the descendants enjoy the shade!"

Rong Guang smiled slightly: "That's what it means. For example, in current co-productions, Hong Kong and Taiwan stars must be used because of their overseas reputation. If mainland blockbusters also become popular, there will definitely be a group of mainland actors who also have overseas reputation. At that point

At that time, there was more room for choice. To be honest, the salary of Hong Kong and Taiwan stars is too exaggerated now. But it doesn’t work if you don’t use it!”

Leslie Cheung and Deng Jie secretly communicated with their eyes. Deng Jie smiled and asked: "Guangzi, do you have any good scripts here? My Zhang Mo is pretty good." Poor parents in the world, especially the stepmother Deng Jie!

Rong Guang sighed in his heart, if Zhang Mo hadn't been able to do that in the future, wouldn't it be a trivial matter to be given a role?

In a way, Zhang Mo is also a talent. He has so many resources as his parents, but he can end up in that situation? Does it mean that he can make mistakes every step of the way?

Among Zhang Mo's bad things, the most famous one is the incident of violently beating his girlfriend in a movie.

In fact, in Rong Guang's eyes, let's not discuss those scandals, but just talk about the impact on Zhongxi. I can only say this - Zhongxi even lost all his underwear!

Since your Chinese drama school has school rules and junior students are not allowed to take on roles, then it should be strictly enforced. If Mei Ting simply dropped out of school, no one would say anything.

However, in that school rule, there is a back door? Unless approved by the teacher? Wouldn't something go wrong? The department head used this back door to create an unspoken rule for girls?

And from then on, this school rule became only in name only? Zhongxi Drama was so scared that all future applications were approved? The school rule immediately turned into a joke.

Okay! As the son-in-law of a Chinese actor, Rong Guang has feelings for that broken courtyard.

However, Leslie Cheung and Deng Jie still have to give them face. After thinking about it for a moment, Rong Guang said: "Sister, if you give me a few roles, you might as well give me a channel. I can form a team to participate in my youth creative competition!"

Seeing Rong Guang wink, Zhang Guoli and Deng Jie suddenly realized.

Since they are participating as a team, they can definitely join the favorites to win the award. As long as they can win the award, Zhang Mo will not only be able to show off his talent, but also naturally become the leading actor. In this regard, this couple has enough energy.

Those who are favorites to win awards will also be welcomed. With the energy of this couple, the future road will also be much smoother.

As for Rong Guang, he not only gave Zhang Guoli and his wife enough face, but on the surface, he had nothing to do with Zhang Mo.

This is a win-win situation. It also solves Zhang Mo's problem.



Rong Guang waved goodbye to Zhang Guoli and others. However, as soon as he reached the door, he heard someone greeting: "Director Rong, stay!"

"Hello, Mr. Deng!" Rongguang was extremely enthusiastic and shook hands with the short, handsome man.

"Any chance of cooperation in the future?"

"sure!"

"..."

This person's name is Deng Jianguo. He is one of the early bigwigs in the mainland film and television industry. He is also an investor in "In This Lifetime".

Deng Jianguo's career coincided with the best time. And he was particularly bold. He dared to use all the money around him to invite Hong Kong stars at the time to film mainland TV series. He also arranged the opening ceremony at the Yangcheng Stadium.

This astonishing move frightened everyone at once. Then the TV station took the initiative to invest money, and many advertisers came to the door, giving Deng Jianguo his first pot of gold.

When Deng Jianguo was most prosperous, he started filming seven TV series at the same time in a year, and claimed to have profits of over 100 million! Note: It is not revenue, but profit!

At that time, the TV station did not have much money. If it wanted to buy a TV series, it would have to show a few minutes of advertising and let Deng Jianguo eat it up. For this reason, later the TV station was only willing to pay for the purchase and would never give advertising time.

.It’s because Deng Jianguo earns so much!

The history of Deng Jianguo's fortune has always been accompanied by Zhang Guoli. The "Kangxi Private Interview" was once popular all over the country.

However, Deng Jianguo was one of the two major trolls in the entertainment industry in the early days. His bad mouth finally offended everyone. In fact, when filming "This Is My Life", his relationship with Leslie Cheung had already broken down.

One thing to say is that Lao Zhang has always been very popular in the circle, and he is really capable of irritating even Leslie Cheung.

And from then on, Deng Jianguo had no choice but to withdraw from the industry, and he and Leslie Cheung became strangers. He could only occasionally show his face in the media through messy marriage events.

Let’s briefly talk about some of Deng Jianguo’s “glorious deeds” here!

In an interview, Deng Jianguo said - when he and Leslie Cheung met for the first time, he sold a price of 20,000 yuan, and Leslie Cheung's eyes went straight?

Tell me, no matter how poor Zhang Guoli is, is it possible for him to be like this? Moreover, Zhang Guoli was originally a well-known actor. He also participated in the Antarctic scientific expedition and won the first-class collective merit and the second-class individual merit. Even in the era of a household with ten thousand yuan,

When he saw 20,000 yuan, did he think that Leslie Cheung had never seen the world?

It's no wonder that Leslie Cheung eventually fell out.

Also, Deng Jianguo said in the interview that his company has established a beauty public relations team to directly attack the purchasing departments of major TV stations!

Okay! The truth is not important. I don’t want to verify whether this statement is true.

But if you think about it, you should understand that after such an interview, which TV station would dare to buy Deng Jianguo's TV series? Wouldn't that mean that he would be sent to prison?

By the way, let me introduce another famous early troll - Song Zude.

Everyone should know that Song Zude spread rumors about director Xie Jin, and the court has already ruled on it.

Another time, Song Zude publicly said at a press conference: He actually has a heart for a woman and wants to undergo sex reassignment surgery!

Such shocking remarks made the actress next to him jump up in fright.
