Entertainment School

Chapter 226 Soar

According to the Buddhist scriptures, Infernal Affairs is the most painful of the eight hells.

With "Infernal Affairs" as the title, it obviously has a profound meaning and wants to tell the outside world something.

It's a pity that the outside world doesn't know the content of the script, so we can only guess randomly. And a group of actors with scripts can't reveal anything. For a while, Infernal Affairs seems extremely mysterious.

When the news came out, after Infernal Affairs was actually a trilogy, everyone was stunned. They didn't expect that Ye Zhiqiu would be so crazy that he won four movie emperors, three movie queens, and many well-known actors under Rainbow Entertainment. Unexpectedly, they created a three-episode series.

If this is not crazy, then what is crazy?

Many people have made it clear that no one can stop Ye Zhiqiu's footsteps. Today, Ye Zhiqiu can create a series of films with such a huge lineup, and he will definitely be able to shoot bigger films tomorrow.

It's just an infernal way. Although the artist's salary has not been announced to the public, even if he is a fool, he has now seen a high salary. The four movie emperors and three movie queens are worth three plays, at least 200 million yuan. This is not to mention the remuneration of Ye Zhiqiu, Bai Tao, and other actors. If you add up, it is possible to pay 300 million.

Of course, the outside world does not know about the halving of Cheng Kailong, Zhou Lang and Gong Lin's remuneration, and because it is the relationship between the three films, the remuneration is not as high as expected, but Ye Zhiqiu will not foolishly tell these internal news.

He also has to explain to the entertainment guild, but unfortunately, since the film is divided into three parts, it is impossible to set the price together. It must be priced one by one, and for three films, on average, only a few big brands are worth enough. As for the scenes in the film, they are really small.

So, in addition to the actor's remuneration, the whole film has actually invested only a few million yuan. Such a polarized film does make even Lin Waner and Zeng Weitian, who joined later, feel strange and horrible.

But after reading the script, he was deeply moved by the script and was surprised by Ye Zhiqiu's screenwriting ability. He secretly said that Ye Zhiqiu was known as the hand of God and the gold medal screenwriter. Obviously, the name was not for nothing, but real.

In Ye Zhiqiu's preliminary budget and shooting plan, the three films will be completed within three to five months at most after the end of the selection. Because it's all literary drama, and there is no need for computer stunts, big scene cooperation, and even no makeup.

With the crazy drama of several movie queens, Ye Zhiqiu believes that I'm afraid that three months is a long time.

When Ye Zhiqiu's shooting plan was told to the actors, everyone seemed to look at Ye Zhiqiu like a madman. For them, although there is no big scene, this play can definitely be called a classic. It is a film that must be shot carefully. And Ye Zhiqiu's ease seemed not to take the film to heart at all. For a moment, everyone hesitated whether Ye Zhiqiu was qualified to be the director of the play.

Although Ye Zhiqiu has created wonderful films such as Xiao Ao Jianghu, Fengyun, and Liang Zhu, this play obviously requires a certain degree of control and control. Otherwise, how to deal with several movie queens on the same stage?

Ye Zhiqiu also has his own way to do this. First, there is a comparison of the original film, and second, several movie queens are invited to watch it at any time. If the movie emperor feels that he is not good enough, then reshoot it. Of course, the decision is still Ye Zhiqiu's. Now Ye Zhiqiu has the experience of controlling several big names at the same time after shooting the wind and clouds, so he still knows it.

Because the whole play is very demanding of Liu Tianle and Cheng Kailong, they spend a lot of time thinking about their roles.

Infernal Affairs tells the story of two people whose identities should not belong to them. They live in an environment similar to Infernal Affairs and dream of being afraid that others will expose their identities.

However, in this world, what is the truth of life and life? The confusion shown by the role is Ye Zhiqiu's in-depth discussion of this issue.

In the narration of Ye Zhiqiu, the two also knew that there was no reincarnation when entering Wujian, but only suffering forever. Of course, in Infernal Affairs, the two of them suffered from mental and spiritual pain. You can't say it, you can't retreat, and you have suffered from all kinds of inner sufferings, which makes the two protagonists in the film always seek reincarnation and want to get out of this.

However, the final result has already been arranged. This is destined to be a film that mentions the discussion of people's surnames to a very high level.

After crowning the deep definition of Buddhism, even if it is a film with very little actual investment, no one dares to relax. Even other movie emperors and movie queens are always thinking about their roles.

I'm afraid that a bad performance will affect the whole film. When the critics comment, they will point the finger at themselves.

It can be said that although this is a good opportunity, it also makes the movie queens feel a lot of pressure, and many times they even have an extremely depressed idea to escape.

Similarly, for several people, this series of films will undoubtedly be a new breakthrough in Chinese police and bandit films over the years. The film changes the single clue and rhythm of the previous Chinese gangster films, but puts all the focus on the characters.

Therefore, several people were extremely shocked by Ye Zhiqiu's talent. With the shooting, they also found that they had no chance to intervene at all, as if Ye Zhiqiu had a reference in his heart. Even many scenes passed at once, which quickly made everyone feel incredible and even unreal.

It was not until a month later that the first part was completed, and then Ye Zhiqiu continued to shoot the third part, but put the second part played by himself and Bai Tao at the end.

The third ultimate infernal will completely solve the mystery laid by the first and second parts. The first two will inevitably lay a game, and even the audience who have seen it will have a lot of doubts. Because this is a trinity series, even Liu Tianle, Cheng Kailong, Zhou Lang and other movie queens think that this is a film that will make people get lost, even enlightened, or confused.

As for the confused words, it is obviously a joke of Ye Zhiqiu's director's skills, because everyone is extremely optimistic about this film, so they don't want the film to have big loopholes or flaws.

The first part is absolutely wonderful. Although the second part does not have Liu Tianlecheng Kailong, there are Ye Zhiqiu and Bai Tao, as well as the cooperation of several other movie emperors and queens, so it is also wonderful.

And the third part, even Ye Zhiqiu has a headache, because it is hard to shoot the ultimate infernal, not to mention the audience.

I remember that when I watched this film in my previous life, Ye Zhiqiu should carefully contact the first two films and constantly reconstruct them so that the plot can unfold smoothly. Don't make yourself unable to understand, and in the original play, the ultimate Wujian lacks explanation for some things in the role of Liu Jianming in dreams and reality, which makes the audience sometimes suddenly realize that those are hallucinations and produce such a feeling.

Of course, this is only for the audience who don't want to use their brains. Most people watch it with relish and feel that the connotation is extremely deep, which is indeed a classic.

Because he carefully studied these three films in his previous life, Ye Zhiqiu also read many comments carefully. He also checked out three films at the end of the group and found that this was indeed the case. With the memory of the previous life, when shooting this film at this time, Ye Zhiqiu will naturally not let the camera continue to exist, and will naturally make up some supplements, so that this film can also become a classic in this time and space.

Cheng Kailong was extremely gratified that Qingyu International and Hongye Entertainment merged to form Rainbow International.

It is gratifying that he is one of the two soul figures of Infernal Affairs.

He knew that this was a film that could include him, Liu Tianle and everyone in the history of Chinese cinema. Over the past 20 years, because of the development of Qingyu Entertainment, he took over the films randomly, and he took over almost all the films of the famous entertainment groups.

It's just embarrassing that it's okay in Qingyu International. He can play the leading role, but when he comes to other entertainment groups, he can only play supporting roles for some newcomers who are not as famous as him or have just made their debut.

For this reason, he always felt that his status was extremely embarrassing. He obviously won countless best supporting roles, won the Golden Statue Award for Best Actor, and won the throne of the movie emperor, but the films he played did not sell.

Although his acting skills have been perfect and many people have praised him, his situation is so embarrassing. Even when Qingyu International entered the slow development, he lost many opportunities to help newcomers.

Although Yan Qingshan, as a friend, did not limit him to take the film and helped him take the film, with his performance of more than 20 years, although he stepped into the first-class, he did not have much box office appeal, which also made him not favored by many big directors. Even if he sometimes has a chance, he will not become the protagonist like Liu Tianle. At most, he is just a supporting role, and even a villain in many cases.

Nowadays, when he stands on the rooftop and plays face to face with Liu Tianle as the real protagonist, he is in a trance and even extremely excited.

At the end of the first part of Infernal Affairs, on the rooftop, Cheng Kailong held a gun, pointed to Liu Tianle, and said the classic line.

"I'm sorry, I'm a policeman."

This sentence not only expresses Chen Yongren's heart in the film, but also Cheng Kailong's mood at this moment.

It seems that I have expressed my position to everyone again, telling everyone that I am an actor, a first-class actor, and I have vividly expressed that firm and complex mentality.

Ye Zhiqiu cheered, and the onlookers also clapped each other. This scene is really wonderful and will definitely become a classic.

In this world, there are many things that are legal but not, and there are many things that are legal but not. For ordinary people, how to choose is indeed a headache. The ancients still looked up to the sky and sighed that loyalty and filial piety could not be perfect, and they were always helpless.

A gang member does not forget to protect the interests of taxpayers every month and wants to be a real policeman and a good person.

An undercover policeman whose reason is always better than emotion, when he finally faced a severe test, he blurted out the words "I'm sorry, I'm a policeman."

At this moment, everyone's heart rises. This is life, and this is the helplessness and impermanence of life.

This line is so ordinary, but it is so touching. He has no gimmick at all, no show at all, so logical, so amazing.

"This is a good movie, absolutely..." Lin Waner's eyes surrendered to Ye Zhiqiu, but she couldn't help thinking of Qin Wan.

Thinking that if Qin Luan was there and did not withdraw from the entertainment industry, Qin Luan won the crown and identity of the movie queen, there is definitely Qin Luan in this Infernal Affairs. It is such a wonderful thing that the two sisters play in the same movie.

I think that in college, Zhen Ni, Qinlan and she all had such a wish, hoping that one day they could gather in a movie, play on the same stage, continue their sisterhood on the big screen, and tell everyone that they were the best sisters.

However, thinking of Qin Luan's current situation, she felt uncomfortable as if she had lost her aura, as if her soul had no strength.

She didn't know what was wrong with Qin Luan. In her opinion, as long as she didn't like it, she would resist. Why was Qin Luan willing to give up as a good person like Ye Zhiqiu? She couldn't figure it out, and she couldn't understand Ye Zhiqiu's silent performance.

Unlike Zhen Ni, Zhen Ni loves to play and show her head. She can give everything for her future.

But she is not, and neither is Qin Luan. Most of the time, she found that she and Qin Wan were a kind of person, a person who could dedicate themselves to art, but was always wronged emotionally. Although she still hasn't been in love at this time... "Do you want to tell Ye Zhiqiu, otherwise, I'm afraid Yan Qingshan really has that plan..."

Lin Waner has also heard about the recent appearance of Yan Qingshan many times, and even the implicit mention of Yan Yu. Although Ye Zhiqiu did not take a position on this, now Rainbow International Ye Rang and Yan Qingshan are in charge together. In order to handle the relationship well, I'm afraid that Ye Zhiqiu can really get along with Yan Yu in the end. Come together.

Thinking of herself, after the expiration of the contract, it has not been renewed until now.

There are many reasons for this. First, she is very disgusted with certain things and never compromised, which made her lose a lot of opportunities to play a good role.

Second, she doesn't want to be controlled all the time, so even if she will lose a lot of benefits in the future, even if no one asks her to act, she is willing to be a freelance artist instead of continuing to renew her contract with Kyoto International.

However, at present, after Yan Qingshan proposed, and even Liu Tianle proposed it once, Lin Waner's mind moved more or less.

She knows Ye Zhiqiu's talent very well. Although her relationship with Ye Zhiqiu is not very close, she is also relatively close because of Qin Luan's relationship.

Among the current actresses of Rainbow International, except Gong Lin, no one can compare with her status. And she is just in her early thirties. If she joins Rainbow International, many big scenes will definitely be played by her, just like Infernal Affairs, which is currently being filmed.

With the vigorous shooting of Infernal Affairs, the second part of the night visit to vampires has also been a great success.

Unlike the first one, because the investment of the first part is within 30 million, the number of cinemas can only hover at the bottom line of 6,500.

The investment of the second part has reached nearly 50 million, which has reached a higher level, so the number of cinemas is between 11,000 and 16,000.

However, because the film belongs to the fifth category, it can only be watched by people, and it is forbidden to watch it under the age of 17, so there are already a lot of restrictions. However, it is true that with the development of the plot of the second part, there are indeed many bloody scenes of killing. Although the reputation is excellent, there is still no hope to improve the category. Therefore, it is still limited, and in the end, it can only get the bottom line of 11,000 cinemas.

Not only that, the larger mainstream cinemas are not allowed to be released, and can only barely enter the second-class cinemas. On average, it is very unfair.

But because the night visit vampires originally advocated a different culture, although under the guise of human surnames, the actual essence can't be separated from the big frame of anti-humanism, so it is always attacked. It is very good to have such an ending in the end.

Fortunately, although China has such restrictions, and even many Asian countries have great restrictions, there are also places to open.

Due to the vigorous expansion of the market of Rainbow International and the favor of many foreign film companies and distributors, the night visit of vampires has been successfully introduced into the American market and the Xinzhou market.

Although there are still many restrictions, Ji Wenhao is also famous in the Americas and New Asia. He even played the first part with Ye Zhiqiu and Bai Tao, and the actors in the second part also have some reputation in several countries in the two states.

Other actors who participated in the two films at the same time also gained this, which is an unexpected benefit.

On the other hand, because of the reputation of Fengyun and the new style, the whole country has swept up a trend, and countless teenagers rushed into the cinema to watch the movie. What's more, because of the discussion of the wind and clouds by countless film critics, the momentum of the wind and clouds has risen, surpassing all the films in the same period and ranking first at the box office.

After the painting, up to now, the box office has reached 1.4 billion yuan, which surprised countless people, including Liu Tianle, Cheng Kailong, and Yan Qingshan.

Yan Qingshan sighed that his decision was indeed right. His investment seemed to be the right investment, and Huang Zhijing had nothing to say.

When the two entertainment companies merged, many senior officials within Qingyu International were extremely opposed, but because Qingyu International was built by Yan Qingshan, even if the senior executives objected, there was nothing they could do, so they could only compromise in the end. Many senior officials seem to see no hope and choose to resign out of their hearts.

There is a reason for this. Qingyu International has accumulated more than 20 years, as well as the construction of two major cinemas, and even the surrounding industrial deployment, etc., its comprehensive industrial value is more than twice that of Hongye Entertainment.

But after the merger, Yan Qingshan only got 40% of the shares of Rainbow International, which is equivalent to Hongye Entertainment absorbing Qingyu International. How crazy such a thing is and how bold and foresight it takes to do it. But Yan Qingshan did it, and he was willing to do it.

The shares of Rainbow International are divided into two parts, which are 60% of the Ye family and 40% of Yan Qingshan.

Among the 60% of the Ye family, Ye Zhiqiu alone accounts for 20%, and the remaining 40% belongs to the Ye family and has not been divided for the time being.

That is to say, Ye Zhiqiu has a huge right to speak and make decisions.

In fact, after the merger, Yan Qingshan also found this point. Almost all the major events of Hongye Entertainment in film are in charge of Ye Zhiqiu.

Even a few best-selling comics are planned and screenwriters by Ye Zhiqiu, and then the following screenwriter team created them. Finally, the comics department began to draw and distribute them.

In the future plan, these series of comics will be brought to the big screen, shot into movies, TV series, and even cartoons. Similarly, all kinds of puppet props, collections and other peripherals extend out of it, providing a continuous source of wealth for Rainbow Entertainment.

After understanding this, Yan Qingshan was completely relieved, which was equivalent to a sigh of relief.

Qingyu International is more than twice as big as Hongye Entertainment, but this is fixed property, at most less than a few billions.

But the intangible property of Hongye Entertainment is more than 1 billion, and I'm afraid it will cost at least 10 billion.

Yan Qingshan can get 40% of the shares, which is already an extremely horrible amount. If it weren't for the strong development of Hongye Entertainment, the merger of Qingyu International would have saved Hongye Entertainment at least four to five years.

Taking up the advantage of time, Yan Qingshan got such a benefit, otherwise I'm afraid Ye Zhiqiu would not let go.

For Ye's parents, although they gradually became at ease, they did not have the courage to swallow Qingyu International. Moreover, it was mainly based on Hongye Entertainment, and Hongye Entertainment only had 40% of the shares, which was unimaginable for Ye's three brothers.

But that's the truth, Ye Zhiqiu knows this best. If Yan Qingshan hadn't helped him save four or five years of development time, I'm afraid Ye Zhiqiu would not have compromised.

The success of the night visit to Vampire II gave Ji Wenhao more confidence. At the same time, he did not stop and began to plan to create the third part of the series.

After seeing the success of the second film, Rainbow International finally began to build the second step of the castle in the cinema after having a box office budget. Rainbow International's castle plan is divided into four steps.

The first step is the planning and preliminary construction of a castle. The second step is to build a small European castle as the residence of the Vampire Duke to shoot the third part of the night visit to vampires.

The third step is to expand on the basis of the original second-step castle and build a larger giant castle, which will prepare for the subsequent legend of the night, and even prepare for other European and American films.

As for the fourth step, it is the last step, which is to make it into a castle kingdom, similar to the castle kingdom in the Ring.

Of course, this is not only for filming, but also can be used as a famous tourist attraction and for renting other film entertainment companies for shooting.

It can even be said that as long as this huge castle is built, many buildings, streets, etc. in it are absolutely competent to shoot 50% of the film. This place will also be an important place for Ye Zhiqiu to shoot films in the future.

With the second step, the castle began to expand at a very fast speed and will be completely completed in two months. At that time, the casting of the third part of the vampire at night, as well as all kinds of preliminary preparations will also be ready, just in time to start shooting.

When the Fengyun Studio is divided into five ways, Ye Zhiqiu, Ji Wenhao, Qin Ge and other five people have their own tasks, the newly formed Rainbow International also has a new action.

First of all, after combining the animation departments of the two sides and having a huge lineup of more than 200 people, the top work of Tom and Jerry was launched in November.

Cat and Mouse are divided into four parts, each with 50 episodes, with a total of 200 episodes. At present, the animation department has only produced the first 50 episodes, but despite this, it is also of a very high level. People who have seen it all laugh, which is simply killing men, women and children.

Rainbow International, in the screenwriter department.

Ding Ran, known as a talented screenwriter, is now a 26-year-old girl. Before Qingyu International was merged into Hongye Entertainment, she was a famous talented screenwriter of Qingyu International. Moon Lake, starring Yan Yu, was created by her for this film with a good box office. At the same time, in a few years, it has also created several fashion TV blockbusters and several idol newcomers for Qingyu International.

At present, with the complete completion of the 200-episode script of Tom and Jerry, Ding Ran, who has not had a good rest for more than two months, finally feels that he can have a good rest for a few days.

However, reputation is not a good thing.

On this day, Ding Ran actually received the above order to move out of Rainbow International and go to Fengyun Studio.

This order stunned her, and then began to prepare excitedly. Under the attention of countless simultaneous attention, Ding Ran felt that her hard work was not in vain, and it was also beneficial to be a secret genius.

She admires Ye Zhiqiu's talent to the extreme. Some books are full of vitality, and even have a snow queen, natural stay and other antagonistic and strange names. Many times she is amazing. She is a famous pistachio in the rainbow world.

"Jiang Li, Sophie, I'm leaving now. Don't worry, we are good sisters. I will definitely recommend you..."

"It's so shameful..." Although Han Jiangli was very envious, he still complained.

Han Jiangli is now 30 years old, but he is not as lucky as Qin Qian and Xuan Xuan. From becoming famous at the age of 16 to becoming famous at the age of 20, he has been playing a supporting role. Although he has won many best supporting actress awards, he also seems to have fallen into this strange circle, and this strange circle still continues to this day.

"Ding Ran, come on..." Sophie encouraged behind her back, and her heart was also full of envy.

In Qingyu International, she is a singer and also an actress. Although she was once expected to win the Newcomer Award, she was always embarrassed. Now that she is 25 years old, she even feels that she has lost the opportunity, but now her heart is hot.
