Chapter 10 is scheduled for release during the Lunar New Year holiday season.
Gu Qingshan looked at "The Warlords" and "Assembly".
Both movies have already started their promotional campaigns and are considered blockbusters and hits!
"The Warlords" is a Hong Kong film with an incredibly luxurious cast, including Jet Li, Andy Lau, Takeshi Kaneshiro, Xu Jinglei, and Wei Zongwan. It was also directed by renowned directors Chen Kexin and Ye Weimin.
This is the standard blockbuster formula of this era: a renowned Hong Kong director and stars from Hong Kong and Taiwan.
As for mainland actresses and actors, they are only fit to play supporting roles to Hong Kong and Taiwanese stars in movies.
The background to this is the large number of Hong Kong filmmakers who banded together and went north.
Of course, the unsightly behavior of Hong Kong filmmakers is also constantly exacerbating the conflicts.
The most typical example is the incident of Wang Bozhao being beaten!
Mainland actresses and actors were able to turn their careers around and become leading men and women in blockbuster films thanks to Mr. Chan, who single-handedly overthrew the younger generation in Hong Kong, causing a talent gap in the Hong Kong entertainment industry and giving mainland actresses and actors opportunities.
Gu Qingshan looked at "The Warlords" and "Assembly" and shook his head slightly. He would be cannon fodder in the middle or later of the two movies.
Gu Qingshan pondered for a moment and said, "Chairman Han, how about 'Nightclub' being released on November 30th?"
"Isn't this too rushed?" Han Sanping hesitated for a moment.
Gu Qingshan said, "It should be in time. If it hasn't passed the review by then, we can withdraw the file at the last minute."
This time is the best!
With no real competition, by the time "The Warlords" is released, it will have been almost two weeks, enough time to rake in the box office revenue.
"Alright, let's set it for November 30th." Han Sanping nodded.
In the following two days, Qingshan Film & Television signed a film distribution contract with China Film Group.
......
Beijing Film Academy campus.
Gu Qingshan and Jing Tian were taking a walk. Jing Tian was wearing a dress, and she had a slender figure, fair skin, and a slightly flushed face.
"How's it going? Is the distribution all sorted out?" Jing Tian asked.
Gu Qingshan nodded, appearing relaxed: "It's all settled. China Film Group will handle the distribution, and we, the production company, will get 33% of the revenue. China Film Group will cover the publicity costs."
"To break even, you'd need 20 million in box office revenue, but you'd probably lose money," Gu Qingshan said after taking a look.
Jing Tian didn't seem to care. "So what if I lose money? I'll just consider it a loss of my allowance. I'll be more careful with my spending in the future."
"Haha, just kidding. The production cost is 220 million, leaving 130 million. If the box office is 1500 million, you'll break even. After that, you can make a small profit by selling the rights to TV stations and DVDs/VCDs." Gu Qingshan smiled.
He made a pure profit, while JingTian Investment was much riskier.
If the two hadn't had a good relationship, Gu Qingshan, if he were more ruthless, could have easily embezzled all 130 million.
"Wasn't it 300 million? How come you spent 220 million and still have 130 million left?" Jing Tian asked, puzzled. "Shouldn't it be 80 left?"
Gu Qingshan said, "The movie has product placements, and the total revenue from these is 50 yuan."
"So, is this 130 million to you, or will you continue to invest in my next movie?" Gu Qingshan asked Jing Tian.
This is a rich woman, and Gu Qingshan really wants to latch onto her coattails.
Jing Tian said, "Of course I'll invest in your next movie, on the same condition: I'll be the female lead."
"Okay, you'll play the female lead again. We'll discuss the specific investment details with you once the budget is ready." Gu Qingshan nodded.
The female lead in "Love is Not Blind" is absolutely outstanding.
Bai Baihe became a sensation after starring in "Love is Not Blind," which led to a surge in her salary and allowed her to live off the film's success for several years.
This kind of role naturally means keeping the benefits within the family.
After walking for a while, the two went to a restaurant outside the school for lunch.
......
In the blink of an eye, a week has passed.
"Nightclub" has finally passed censorship and received the Golden Dragon Seal. The film's length has been cut several times, and the film's length has been reduced to 90 minutes.
Gu Qingshan took the final cut of the film and personally went to China Film Group.
Next came the copying, followed by scheduling, promotion, and other related matters.
In the evening, Gu Qingshan invited Jing Tian and others to have hot pot.
When they heard that "The Banquet" had passed censorship and was scheduled for release on November 30, Jing Tian and the others congratulated Gu Qingshan with great joy.
Gu Qingshan was in a good mood. The review process was faster than he had expected. Although the film was cut a few times, Gu Qingshan did not feel uncomfortable.
No director's film is immune to censorship; cutting a few scenes is normal.
Fortunately, the cuts did not affect the overall quality of the film in the final cut.
While waiting for the food to be served, Gu Qingshan took out five scripts from his bag.
The script cover reads: "Love is Not Blind for 33 Days".
"This is for you. You'll be playing the female lead, Huang Xiaoxian." Gu Qingshan handed Jing Tian the script with the words "Huang Xiaoxian" written on it.
Jing Tian asked in surprise, "You finished writing the script so quickly?"
Look at the script for "Love is Not Blind"—it's much thicker than "Nightclub." Jing Tian flipped to the last page, and it was a full 65 pages long.
"I've had more free time lately, so I've been writing scripts," Gu Qingshan said with a smile. "Remember to read the script carefully, memorize the lines, and think about the character."
Gu Qingshan handed the script with "Li Ke" on the cover to Shuangmeizi, saying, "This is your role. It's not a lot of screen time, so don't mind it."
"Thank you!" Shuangmeizi took the script, her face beaming with joy.
dislike?
How could I possibly dislike it!
To be able to act in a play is such a blessing.
Gu Qingshan then gave the script labeled "Shanshan" to Lu Shan and the script labeled "Female Client Two" to Chai Biyun.
As for the script labeled "Feng Jiaqi", it was given to Kan Qingzi.
Of course, there are quite a few characters in "Love is Not Blind", more than twenty in total.
For other roles, auditions can be held to select actors.
The auditions, however, will have to wait until mid-December or later.
He doesn't have time to do auditions right now.
Jing Tian and the others couldn't help but flip through the script; the allure of movies was simply irresistible to them.
Only after the waiter had served all the dishes and Gu Qingshan invited them to eat hot pot did Jing Tian and the others put away their scripts.
"This movie must have had a bigger budget than 'Nightclub,' right?" Shuang asked with curiosity in her eyes.
Lu Shan and the others were also very curious.
Gu Qingshan nodded slightly and said, "The production cost is about four or five million, with a maximum of six million."
Everyone's eyes lit up.
The production cost of "Love is Not Blind" was significantly higher than that of "Nightclub".
They all knew that the production cost of "Nightclub" was 220 million.
No wonder the script for "Love is Not Blind" is much thicker.
"When will filming begin?" Jing Tian asked impatiently. "Let's just start filming next week."
Gu Qingshan said irritably, "The movie 'Night Shop' is about to be released, where would I find the time? The auditions for actors will be held in mid-December, and filming won't start until at least after New Year's Day."
"We plan to finish filming 'Love is Not Blind' before the Spring Festival. You guys should use this time to memorize your lines and figure out your characters. Don't cram at the last minute and slow down the schedule," Gu Qingshan reminded him.
According to the simulation, he could finish filming in about 15 days.
But having experienced filming "Nightclub," he knew that the actual filming would take much longer.
The simulated space was an idealized concept, designed entirely to ensure that everyone on the crew was in good condition during filming, without any setbacks.
But that's not actually the case. As long as you are human, you have seven emotions and six desires, and your state will fluctuate.
Moreover, Gu Qingshan couldn't help but glance at Jing Tian.
This old lady still has a lot to worry about.
