Chapter 018 You're making Ah Hong appear in public.
At 8:30 a.m., Su Nan met Zhou Xingchi in his office.
He smiled and greeted them twice before taking out the script. "Ah Xing, you've probably heard about this (Kung Fu) movie before."
"This is a script, about a nobody from the lowest rungs of society in Shanghai during the Republican era."
"The story of growing step by step into a great hero is also your area of expertise."
"The release date is at the end of this year or early next year. I hope we can have a pleasant collaboration."
"Let me make one thing clear: filming this movie will probably take longer than you would on other film sets."
"I hope you can accept this and allocate your time reasonably."
Stephen Chow hurriedly took the script and said with a smile, "Don't worry, Mr. Su, I will definitely cooperate."
"I will try my best to coordinate the schedule and will definitely not hold Skyworth back."
"I'm not making excuses. Su Sheng, you should have heard that Princess Jin bought another film contract for me to act alongside Taiwanese director Ke."
In 1990, Stephen Chow directed 11 films that were released. Next year, excluding cameos and narration, he will have seven films.
There will also be seven films the year after next.
This isn't about being a model worker or not; some of the things he couldn't avoid were things he couldn't refuse.
The Taiwanese actor, Lao Ke, is now working with Stephen Chow, who became a sensation after starring in "God of Gamblers."
In 91, he acted alongside Jackie Chan, Hung Kin-po, Andy Lau, and Leung Ka-fai.
Just look at the lineup and you'll know what's going on.
Su Nan nodded, "That's fine. By the way, the movie will be filmed and produced in Shanghai."
He will continue to study at the (new money laundering) post-production department in the next few days.
However, the (kung fu) framework also needs to be set up. I said I would have Chen Hong go to audition for the little mute girl.
We will begin accepting photos of mail being delivered from all over the country in early September, and decide which one to use by the end of October.
It should be ready to use after two or three months of cultivation.
The boy can just find someone with a bit of charisma anywhere on Hong Kong Island; child star Nicholas Tse would be a good fit.
Assign the assistant director to handle costume production and prop preparation; 90% of that can be done in Shanghai.
He's accumulating more and more RMB, and he can hardly spend it all.
Of course, it is also essential to vigorously strengthen the purchase of more and more high-quality materials and high-tech data on the return trip from Moscow.
This is something that deepens friendship and adds a sense of importance.
After seeing Zhou Xingchi off, Su Nan asked Chen Hong to take the bodyguard team to Shenzhen to set up an office to collect audition applications.
She also specifically mentioned playing a minor role in the opening scene.
Students currently enrolled at Beijing Film Academy, Central Academy of Drama, and Shanghai Theatre Academy can submit their application materials for an interview.
Other supporting roles could also be filled by mainland male actors playing minor parts.
Su Nan's only impression of the Crocodile Gang leader's girlfriend in (Kung Fu) was that she was swaying back and forth.
His instinctive thought was that Xu Qing's movements were particularly smooth.
Xu Qing is quite amazing. She had a lot of baby fat on her face when she was around 20, but she looks pretty in real life.
On the big screen, they all look chubby, and they get more plump as they get older.
Of course, Su Nan doesn't necessarily want to commit to a relationship; he's preparing a training program to continue signing new talent.
He asked Ah Hong to also send out recruitment information to the existing actresses in Hong Kong.
Hong Kong actresses who want to apply are welcome to give it a shot.
Regardless of whether it's a male or female role or an actor, priority will be given to those who haven't signed long-term contracts with other companies.
If they sign with Skyworth, they will definitely prioritize training their own people!
After signing the contract, you'll be a minor character in the opening scene of (Kung Fu Hustle), but who knows what will happen in the next movie.
This will be extremely attractive to students currently enrolled in or already graduated from universities in mainland China.
Is Gong Li's status in the mainland entertainment industry high now? She's definitely risen to fame!
But Gong Li won the Best Actress award at the Venice International Film Festival in 1992 for her role in "The Story of Qiu Ju".
She won the Golden Rooster Award for Best Actress and was rewarded with a house by her employer.
He only received a million-dollar salary after starring in "Flirting Scholar".
What about ordinary actors and practitioners?
Until 1993, a large number of mainland actors were affiliated with film studios and arts groups, receiving fixed salaries.
The monthly salary of a large number of actors in mainland China is only a few hundred yuan.
93 years ago, Zhang Yimou's monthly salary was only a few hundred yuan, no matter how many films he made.
After winning a major award, the company would give extra rewards; it was only in the mid-to-late 90s that directors received their salaries.
It wasn't until 2000, with the film "Happy Times," that Lao Zhang finally received his 30 yuan salary for a single film.
(Hero) made Zhang Yimou's salary rise to 1000 million RMB.
Skyworth's attractiveness remains strong, even with its relaxed recruitment policies for mainland employees.
Of course, no one else can match Chen Hong's high-end package.
Even if Ah Hong hadn't attacked Su Nan back then, and had only signed a normal actor contract...
She has the potential to become a leading actress in the future; she truly possesses both talent and beauty.
That's why they'll give her at least three big-budget films with investments of over 5 million each within five years, and she'll play the lead or second/third female lead.
When he drove with Rosamund Kwan to HSBC, Kwan seemed hesitant to speak.
Su Nan asked curiously, "What's wrong?"
Rosamund Kwan shook her head. "You've used too many mainland actors; it'll be difficult to film both versions, won't it?"
"If you're not short of money, why would you use one or two just to pick up girls? Using more would be a waste of money!"
She was a little surprised that Brother Nan was spending so much money on Xiao Shang's matter.
No, that's not right. Her really aggressive personality should have led to her being taken down long ago, Rosamund Kwan.
In those days, Taiwan was one of the largest overseas markets for the Hong Kong film and television industry, but it was always subject to restrictions.
The earliest example can be traced back to when Leung Ka-fai was blacklisted, and later someone came up with the idea of releasing a dual version.
So Gong Li starred in the mainland version of (God of Gamblers II: Shanghai God of Gamblers) in the summer of 1991, but a different actress starred in the Taiwanese version.
Gong Li's scenes in "The Banquet" were all cut in Taiwan.
The restrictions become more relaxed as time goes on.
But 91 years ago, using mainland actors could have resulted in two versions, which would have cost more money!
One or two is fine, but using too many is too wasteful.
The first to break this precedent was Jet Li, whose Wong Fei-hung series and Swordsman II were released in Taiwan one after another.
Ah Jie has great commercial value, making it worthwhile for Wanwan Film and Television Group to invest heavily in his business.
The original trajectory of Ah Hong going to film Qiong Yao dramas was in 93.
It was her Wanwan Production Group that lobbied for this, and it also involved various co-production trends in the TV drama field.
That was the general trend; in early September 1990, Rosamund Kwan couldn't see that far ahead.
She always thought that Su Nan was going to play two versions, spending a little more money to please Ah Hong.
Su Nan chuckled, "I didn't tell you before, (Kung Fu) isn't expected to be released in Taiwan anytime soon."
"I can earn tens of millions of yuan in net profit a year through trade with the mainland."
"By using more mainland actors, we can temporarily abandon the Taiwanese market but gain favor with the north."
"The return of '97 is not far off, and more and more people will try to win my favor."
"The first batch of libraries and science and technology museums donated by Shao Daheng in mainland China have been completed."
Rosamund Kwan suddenly realized, "So that's how it is."
"You're making Ah Hong return home in glory! Her classmates at the Shanghai Theatre Academy will probably be scrambling to get a chance with her."
"If you don't limit the number of mainland actors, how many people in the north would want to get a chance?"
Su Nan remained silent. He wanted to find one or two more talents worth signing a ten-year contract with Skyworth Pictures to cultivate.
The reason for using more mainland actors is that they are cheaper, and actors of this era are also dedicated.
Filming a movie takes time and effort, so don't worry about the long production time delaying your other projects.
After all, everyone is still on a monthly salary system.
In Shanghai, filming (kung fu) costs RMB, and people from southern Jiangsu will hire a number of mainland professionals, not only in front of the camera but also behind the scenes.
In the future, we will produce a live-action version of "Monkey King: Hero Is Back" with large-scale special effects.
This also allows one's network of connections to expand naturally.
Is he considering hijacking the (A Song of Ice and Fire) (Harry Potter) series?
When discussing total box office revenue, it's best to go with the flow.
The total box office revenue of Harry Potter worldwide is definitely much higher than that of Monkey King: Hero Is Back.
In a world with magic, there's a chance to win Western-style magic cultivation rewards.
Neither of these books has been published yet, although the original authors may have already come up with the ideas.
However, when A Song of Ice and Fire was first published in 1996, it was only a book that was hailed as a masterpiece by a small circle of people, and the general public had virtually no impression of the book.
Until the TV series version exploded in popularity and swept the ratings, it in turn propelled the original work to super sales.
By 2007, when four books of Game of Thrones were published, the fan base had grown to a massive scale over the past decade.
That's why HBO bought the film and television adaptation rights.
The problem is that translating these two books into Chinese is extremely difficult. If he were to publish the English version, he would have to spend a year and a half in England.
