At the same time, Dean Liu also successfully persuaded Mr. Li, who had made it clear to support her boyfriend, to inject 20 million into the film, plus 40 million from Tao Mu Film and Television, and two from Beijing Film School and Huajing Studio. Ten million, the crew hasn't completed preparations yet, and the funding for the filming has reached 80 million. Dean Liu, who was a little too drunk, even expressed excitement that he must find a way to bring in two more investors and try to increase the shooting cost to 100 million. At that time, it will also be a publicity point.
For many industry peers, even after ten years, it is not easy for a movie to get an investment of 100 million yuan. But for capitalists like Tao Mu and Li Xiaoheng, it is not difficult to find two more investors to contribute 20 million.
For example, Longteng Entertainment and Xia Xing Entertainment, which have been happily cooperating with Tao Mu, can raise 20 million yuan as long as Tao Mu makes a call. Even if you go home and talk to your family, whether it is the Fengxing Group or the Li family, they can spend 20 million.
Cheng Baodong originally had many criticisms on the right to speak. Seeing that the funding of the crew has risen, as a commercial film director, he has never made a major production with a capital of more than 100 million. It's almost comparable to Hollywood blockbusters. Considering the huge benefits involved, Cheng Baodong didn't say anything.
The struggle of spirit is important, but it is not so important that Cheng Baodong needs to use his career achievements to fight. Even Cheng Baodong's attitude towards Tao Mu was even more attentive. I'm afraid that Tao Mu's dissatisfaction will really squeeze him out of the director-although this kind of thing seems unlikely to happen at present.
On the second day of the dinner, the news that Jingying and Tao Mu Film and Television Company wanted to make a commercial film that cost more than 100 million yuan immediately spread throughout the entertainment industry. As if a drop of cold water fell into a hot oil pan, the already lively entertainment circle immediately exploded. Major media have reported and reprinted. Invariably compared this movie with those Hollywood blockbusters with big investments, and even compared this movie to "the rise of domestic movies." Tao Mu and the investors behind him have also become representatives of conscientious producers in the industry. Because of this 100 million filming cost as a gimmick, "The Sword of the King of Soldiers Out of the Sheath", which has not been officially launched, instantly topped the hot search rankings and news headlines. Many entertainers and actors who can have a relationship with Jingying are looking for ways to establish a relationship, and they all want to play a role in the movie.
For Tao Mu's fans, "The Sword of the King of Soldiers Out of the Sheath" is also Tao Mu's first role as a movie actor. This young and handsome idol made his debut three years ago. It is very different from the artists who are committed to the development of the film and music scene during the same period. Tao Mu has been evaluated by the media as "the most unsuccessful actor in the entertainment industry" several times. Because every time he is in the limelight, he is either in the financial sector or in the financial sector.
Obviously he was born as an actor, and he studied in the Acting Department of the Film and Television School. The work produced by the producer was a great success. An actor won the title of a domestic gold medal producer. Even Feixun.com, which was founded from scratch, has become an indispensable social software for domestic young people. The number of registered real-name users immediately exceeded 200 million. Not to mention the achievements in the financial markets.
Fans such a tossing idol is a face-saving thing for fans. But more often, it is also a painful thing. Because Tao Mu didn't participate in commercial performances and didn't receive notices except for filming, and he didn't even have a few shots in film and television dramas. The edited video of Danmura.com does not exceed twenty minutes. Such an inhumane trip lasted for three full years, and you can imagine how much Tao Mu's fans are holding back.
The long wait now finally sees the light. With the completion of "The King of Soldiers", everyone can finally look forward to the next summer vacation. The main male character is divided into at least a twenty-minute cut in one episode. It's just commonplace for many fans. For ceramics, this is probably the happiest thing in the world.
Not to mention that "The King of Soldiers" is followed by the "Sword of the King of Soldiers Out of the Sheath". A TV series broadcast during the summer vacation, a big movie dedicated to the National Day, which means that you can see Tao Mu in the second half of the year!
For a while, Tao Mu's Fetion and the official Fetion of "The Sword of the King of Soldiers Out of the Sheath" have fans checking in every day. In this kind of enthusiastic and almost impetuous atmosphere, "The Sword of the King of Soldiers Out of the Sheath" finally started.
On the day of the opening ceremony, all the well-known media in the entertainment circle came to join in. The location of the opening ceremony was set in the auditorium of Jingying. atmosphere
It's a bit like a school oath meeting. At the beginning, there were speeches by the principal, the military and other leaders.
Tao Mu and several other actors were all wearing the combat uniforms used for filming, and sat on the podium together. Young men in their twenties, all of whom had just been trained in the army for more than half a year, were sitting there upright and upright, like poplars. The sharp edge is full of vigor, and it makes people's eyes bright when looking at it.
In contrast, Wang Boyuan, who is also an important supporting role and also appeared in combat uniforms, is not so energetic. At least I glanced over it, and couldn't see that it was a soldier.
However, considering Wang Boyuan's special status in the film, he has not undergone military training, but is more in line with the setting of the character in the film.
The opening ceremony has reached the question and answer stage for reporters later. All the media reporters raised their hands with hula la, and all went to Tao Mu. The questions asked were all varied, except for movies related to meaning and meaning, almost all of them were asking about Tao Mu's emotional issues. Especially the engagement ceremony two months later. Some media directly asked Tao Mu if he would invite the media or friends in the circle to participate in the ceremony.
The media will definitely not invite it. But all friends in the circle got the spot. Tao Mu jokingly said: "I have been in the circle for so many years, and I have followed a lot of people. Of course, I have to take this opportunity to come back. Everyone can come back, and the red envelopes must be delivered."
One sentence caused everyone to burst into laughter. Another reporter asked about Tao Mu's creation of songs. After all, the number of registered users of Feixun.com immediately exceeded 200 million. Everyone wants to know when Tao Mu will sing. Some people even start to look forward to what Tao Mu will present to everyone when the number of registered users of Feixun.com exceeds 300 million.
Tao Mu didn't want his presence to leave the impression that other people on the crew were overwhelmingly dominant. So I didn't answer too many questions unrelated to the movie, just let everyone pay attention to his official Fetion. Then he gave up the microphone to Wang Boyuan and others.
After the start-up ceremony, all the actors took the makeup photos. The style of set makeup photos inherits the traditions of all war films and highlights the temperament of tough guys. Tao Mu stood alone in front, dressed in combat uniforms, with thick camouflage makeup on his face, and a submachine gun. Wang Boyuan and several other main actors were standing on both sides of Tao Mu in a zigzag pattern. The background of the poster was gunpowder and war. , The visual effect is very rough and grainy. In addition, a single poster of everyone was shot. As the most popular actors in the circle, the posters of Tao Mu and Wang Boyuan were rushed by fans as soon as they came out. Li Xiaohang, who has always regarded himself as a fan of Tao Mu, even carried Tao Mu on his back, and secretly customized a poster of Tao Mu's body and hung it on the office wall.
But Tao Mu didn't know about it yet. After taking the makeup photo, the rich crew went directly to Africa to shoot the location.
Chapter 284:
Counting two lifetimes, Tao Mu has been to Africa for the first time. There are not many traces of modernization on the vast grassland. The setting sun swayed and hung from the horizon, reflecting half of the sky and the four wilds into an orange-red color. The leopards can be seen on the branches of the tree in the distance. Looking far away, I feel more open.
The filming location of the crew was in an abandoned factory. The props group, lighting group and camera crew set up the shooting scene. Tao Mu, who had already finished his styling, pulled the stuntman who was going to act on the scene later, carefully thinking about the part of the scene to be filmed later. Cheng Baodong rolled the script into a bucket and walked to Tao Mu's side, pulling Tao Mu to sit down on the prop box, and telling Tao Mu the drama with a serious face.
"The Sword of the King of Soldiers Out of the Sheath" tells the story of a few special soldiers in the TV series "The King of Soldiers" going abroad for the first time. Although in the entire script, the only elements related to "The King of Soldiers" are the male protagonist and
