Zhao Shan: "The birth of sketch?"

"Yes... "Today's Happiness" has been discussed by many people on the Internet. Now is a good opportunity to strike while the iron is hot and launch an indoor variety show, which can not only increase your popularity but also generate income... the best of both worlds!"

“But will audiences be interested?”

"We can introduce comparisons, split teams, two teams, internal PK, and then find professionals to score."

"Professional?"

Shen Changlin thought about it and then said: "Let the audience rate it. Comedies and sketches belong to the audience, and the judging criteria should also be left to the audience!"

"...Okay, I'll go talk to Sister Li."

"If that doesn't work, let's just go big and call Deyun Club, the Northeast Comedy Team and the group headed by Jia Ling over, and compete directly!"

Shen Teng was also shocked: "Is it such a big deal?"

"If you want to play, just play bigger. Let's call it "Happy Comedian"... The first domestic comedy competition variety show. The one with the lowest overall score in every two episodes will be eliminated directly!"

"...Then it can't be broadcast on the BJ station."

"Why?"

"Because there is a conflict between BJ Station and Deyun Society..."

"Yes, yes...I forgot about this!"

BJ TV teamed up with the media to ban Guo Degang, which was regarded as the media's final battle against artists. Since then, no traditional TV station has banned someone at the slightest disagreement.

A new station director came, just as the Music Association was engaged in anti-three customs. In order to respond to the call, the new station director attacked Deyun Society and found a fake reporter to break into the door of Lao Guo's house in the name of reporting on Lao Guo's family's occupation of greenery and let him His disciple Li Hebiao kicked him and fell to the ground, saying that his arm was broken by the kick.

Then, BJ station united with the media to block Deyun Club...

If this matter had been put aside in the past, it would not have been a big deal. An artist was bullied by an official. How big of a deal would it be? If someone bullies you, he will bully you. What else can you do?

But in today's society, with the magnifying glass of the Internet, most netizens overwhelmingly support Lao Guo, and he is really capable!

"Then contact Dragon TV..."

"Isn't AH TV available?"

"Now that we have done it, we must make it bigger, and it must be a first-line satellite TV!"

Zhao Shan nodded: "Okay, I'll contact you..."

Shen Teng and Allen didn't speak during the whole process...

How to say, shocked!

The program hasn’t even been recorded yet, so you’ve already chosen a TV station?

This...this is the confidence!

…

"Brother, how many people do we, Director Shen, know?"

"...I don't know, I only know that last year he bought a stake in our Mahua, and our boss Zhang Chen was very happy!"

Mahua was originally founded by Zhang Chen, Yu Kai and Tian Youliang.

Tian Youliang was Deng Chao's mentor, and he also directed "Sauerkraut on Green Flowers"...

It was founded in 2003. At that time, three people each invested 100,000 yuan to create Mahua. They originally wanted to make a TV series directly, but they failed to catch up with SARS. Later, they tried to make a play. Although they did not make any money, their reputation was still good. good.

Later, Tian Youliang withdrew and Yukai paid for all his shares. Yukai became the largest shareholder of Happy Twist. Another person named Zhang Yiwei joined. At that time, the shareholding ratio was Yukai 50 %, Zhang Chen 10%, Zhang Yiwei 40%.

Soon after, the company made a little money and became larger than before, but it was still an unknown small company. First, Yukai sold part of his shares to Zhang Yiwei, and Zhang Yiwei then priced his shares at 300 All 10,000 yuan were sold to Zhang Chen, so Zhang Chen became the largest shareholder.

Shen Changlin invested 50 million last year and directly took 48 shares - but he didn't even attend the Spring Festival Gala!

Zhang Chen knew that Shen Changlin's energy could definitely bring Ma Hua to a higher level.

Isn’t this coming?

But he didn't know that the reason why Shen Changlin invested in Mahua was because he wanted to maintain the style of high-quality Mahua, instead of trying to make money like later generations...

In the past few years, Mahua has launched a lot of shabby online dramas that you have never heard of. They are not like the "if you are not satisfied, I would rather not participate" style in the past.

"...Brother, did you hear that Director Shen is going to make a new movie?"

Shen Teng glanced at him: "I heard..."

"Then why didn't you ask him?"

"He already said that we are not suitable for each other..."

Allen then remembered: "Does it mean that your personal style is not suitable?"

"right…"

…

When selecting actors for "The Band of Thieves", did Shen Changlin consider Shen Teng...

But it's not appropriate. Shen Teng is a professional comedian, with a comedic streak in his body, and a comedian with a distinct style.

After all, "The Band of Thieves" is not a comedy. According to the genre classification, it obviously belongs to the adventure and action genres, so don't use it!

Regarding the choice of actors, the original idea for the four members of the Demon Thief Group was: Deng Chao, Guo Jingfei, Chen Xiao plus Rouba...

But I don’t think it’s appropriate. It doesn’t mean that my acting skills are not good...

He felt that there was something wrong with the image of these people...

Especially Guo Jingfei... Guo Jingfei doesn't look like a master of hypnosis at first glance...

On the contrary, Xu Zheng has that taste!

Chen Xiao... has a strong temperament of both good and evil, and her youthfulness is also lacking...

Yang Yang or Bai Jingting...

There's also meat...

She is too young and her relationship with Deng Chao is a bit awkward.

Maybe someone needs to be replaced, who should it be replaced with?

As for the fifth place, he is enigmatic, about forty years old, and has a cold temperament...

After thinking about it in my mind, I decided to invite Liang Jiahui...

For other supporting roles, for example, the main villain Jin Shijie has been confirmed to star, and the police line will be led by Wang Kai - this is Zhao Shan's strong request.

After all, Kaikai made his debut in "33 Days of Love" and has the eighth prince brother in "Bibu Jingxin", so his resources should be improved to a higher level!

Shen Changlin also felt very sorry for him...

By the way, the leading actor of "BJ Meets Seattle" found Kai Kai...

However, the more important issue right now is the funding issue, which is not to say that funds cannot be found - Shen Changlin's film is also a commercial film, and there are so many people who want to invest in it.

That’s the problem, there are too many people who want to invest!

…

In fact, the normal process for preparing a movie is to raise funds and then select the actors...

After all, if you don’t even have any money, how can you recruit actors?

On the contrary, in China, most people get actor contracts first, and then rely on the contracts to find investors...

Because you can't explain to them how exquisite the script is and how great the market prospects are. You can only trick investors into giving you money by getting actors and actresses.

Many investors outside the circle don't believe in the so-called types at all. They only believe in big names. If you can find Zhou Xingxing, I will give you 80 million. If you can find Andy Lau, I will give you 60 million.

Of course, there are also people who invest money when they see the director, and Shen Changlin is like this.

"Xiu Chun Dao", "Big Shot", and even the pure drama "Search" have a box office of over 400 million!

Moreover, the overseas copyright purchase of "Search" was quite good.

No one doubts Shen Changlin's ability in commercial films!

I heard that the fourth movie will return to the entertainment genre, and of course a group of people rushed to invest...

If directors like Shen Changlin don't even pursue and win over, then the Chinese entertainment industry will really be a gathering place for idiots!

Wanda, Huayi, Bona and even Galloping Horse have all asked for Shen Changlin's opinion...

What can he do? He simply blames everything on the contract with the Rays...

The initial cost of "The Band of Thieves" is 150 million, of which the cost of actors is around 10 million, most of which are production and post-production special effects...

The Rays invested 30% - the largest share they could get;

China Film Investment 20%;

Changlin Film and Television 30%…

The remaining 20% ​​needs to be distributed to theaters, media...

All in all, there are almost a dozen investors.
