Chapter 1013 Enough
Leaving China, how many of the stars at the dinner table can be called stars? At best, they are just beautiful actors that everyone doesn’t know. Perhaps the word beautiful should also change according to different regional aesthetic standards.
One day, if the audience with the world as the scope can tell you, Haozi, don’t use your celebrity face, that will be the real success of these people and even this play. Sun Honglei is a typical example, an actor with a strong tough guy style. His performance in "Prison Break" also won him some opportunities and a corresponding reputation on the international stage. Going abroad is something that every actor is very proud of.
"Lost", until now Chen Hao has not found a foreign actor, which is a signal in itself. What he wants to create is not a hodgepodge, but a pure Chinese production. There may be some foreign supporting roles in it, but in the main line, all the stories are unique displays of Chinese culture. At the beginning, some people wanted to make Atlantis or explore the Egyptian pyramids, but they were eventually rejected by Chen Hao. It was not because of the abandonment of the mission, but because he felt that the unknown and freshness were also a way to attract foreign audiences. There have been many film and television dramas to present those well-known places in the world, and many ideas have been infinitely close to the limit of the brain hole. Instead of copying others, it is better to develop what belongs to us to the extreme.
After resting for a day in the hotel in the county, various groups began to leave in batches. The largest group of people returned to Yanjing. From the nearest airport to Yanjing Airport, the media and fans created a dream journey for the whole team. For several consecutive days, all the headlines of entertainment news were about this team. After arriving in Yanjing, everyone began to accept interviews one after another.
Chen Hao did not impose any restrictions on everyone. This time his strategy was very simple - full openness, no matter how much the news was hyped, everything was put in the sun for everyone to see. This was not only a manifestation of his confidence, but also a corresponding publicity plan to create China's own big IP series movie brand effect.
After arriving in Yanjing, the crew of "Tiny Times" started filming. This time, the four beauties and the young actors went to the set to shoot. Chen Hao let go completely. He didn't like the novel or the script very much. It's not that it's bad, but it's really not his cup of tea. This is also the reason why he didn't think about publishing the novel. Later, he simply took out all the manuscripts and asked the company to arrange people to publish them in volumes to cooperate with the promotion of the movie.
With this cast, it would be hard to make such a bad film. The fact that two beauties, Dilireba and Guli Nazha, starred in the same frame alone was enough to attract attention. They were compared since their debut. They were the same age and graduated from two art schools. There were too many things between them that were worth comparing and hyping up the news. Some tabloids even tried to hype Chen Hao and Nazha, making the two compete for Chen Hao.
Chen Hao followed Jing Tianlin, Tian Ge and others and started to stroll around.
In a modified commercial minibus, a group of people went around Yanjing and began to look for a suitable place to build. This needed to be done in advance, otherwise when Chen Hao showed up, no matter which piece of land was chosen, the land price would soar, and local residents would frantically raise the compensation for demolition. This had nothing to do with personal quality, but was the attraction of a material society. No one would put quality and morality first at this time.
Chen Hao was responsible for the final decision, and then Jing Tianlin and others would operate it, or the higher-ups would operate it. According to Chen Hao's idea, such a large tourist film city was beyond the reach of these few people. Jing Tianlin also knew that the benefits of the country sharing a share of this kind of thing were long-term, far higher than the small amount of melons and dates in front of his eyes. Now it seemed that you were eating alone, but in the long run, you would lose more.
After looking at it for a few days, I was not very satisfied. It was not that there were no good places. Several places selected in advance were good. If it was just to build a filming studio for "Lost", it would be enough, but Chen Hao's original ambition was to build a business district centered on the film city. The location was either too small or too remote, which was always a little bit off. A very remote place was selected as a backup, but fortunately the place was large enough. When it really started, Chen Hao and others would not hesitate to spend a lot of money to build a scenic road.
The initial requirement was to have mountains and water. Gradually, the option of "water" was removed. The price to be paid for artificial rivers and lakes was always better than not being able to find an ideal location. Ten days later, they chose a location on the outskirts of Yanjing, 80 kilometers away from Yanjing, more than ten kilometers away from the national highway, with an old state-owned factory, two villages, a corresponding piece of state-owned land and a small amount of agricultural land.
There are long and low mountains, streams and rivers, and Chen Hao is very satisfied with the entire landscape. The cost and potential damage of large-scale construction here will not be too great. It is also within the scope of Yanjing's tourism circle. The conditions in all aspects are not the best when taken separately, but the overall cost-effectiveness is the highest, especially the area occupied by the state-owned factory, which was obtained in the name of the state, so that the demolition problem faced by the entire site selection was reduced to the minimum.
For the demolition work, Chen Hao, Jing Tianlin and others had a simple choice. They would not give you the opportunity to raise the price, but they would not treat you unfairly. They would either give you the current demolition standard of Yanjiao or give you the opportunity to move back to the original place. You could choose to stay here for the future development potential or go to the nearby county town to become a rich man. It was your choice.
After the place was found, the entire "Lost" plan was officially launched by Chen Hao. It was a huge plan. At the beginning, a team was formed to make preliminary preparations. It seemed that there were many people, but compared with the increase in the number of people after the plan was launched, it was completely a small matter.
In Yanjing and the place named "Lost City", a large enough office space was set up respectively. It was easy to say there. First, the color steel house was air-conditioned to support the appropriate temperature. In Yanjing, the lower floor of Huanju Times Company was directly rented through the coordination of multiple relationships. It happened that Brother Tian was also interested in taking over. After the project team withdrew, he regarded it as expanding the scale of the company and incorporated this floor into the company.
The decoration company came in and removed some of the original decorations, trying not to destroy anything here temporarily. The crew had to create a working environment here as quickly as possible. They cleaned it overnight for two days so that all relevant personnel could enter the site as soon as possible.
There were large and small meeting rooms of Huanju Times upstairs. Some negotiations on cooperative investment and other issues could also be conducted upstairs. Chen Hao, as the general initiator and general producer, was responsible for the overall coordination. There were a lot of complicated tasks. Fortunately, Jing Tianlin and others, Kuang Zhonghai and Tang Feng all came together.
Facing the various documents and things waiting to be processed on the large conference table in front of Chen Hao, they all put down their airs and told him directly that we are now your project assistants. If there is any work you don’t want to do, distribute it and we will do it for you.
With such a group of people running things other than shooting, Chen Hao finally had a chance to take a breath. He also had the opportunity to personally select the staff in the crew one by one. Facing the media outside who were already anxious to explode, he finally had some time to accept an interview.
As soon as the work started, 500 million yuan of funds were invested.
When this news was released a few days ago, the media had already rushed over from all over the world. The world has paid attention to MOUSE's work this time. The previous record was too brilliant. "The Shawshank Redemption" is still a film discussed by the academic community today. Many people's analysis is reasonable. A man who can stir up the world's pop music scene gave up his talent in music and focused on the film and television industry. What kind of confidence do you think he must have to do this?
If you don't believe in his strength, you must believe in his self-confidence.
Chen Hao accepted an interview with "The Hollywood Reporter" magazine and also accepted the interview request of Luyu Youyue. After Luyu Youyue did a special interview program, she interviewed many well-known people, such as Principal Wang's father, such as Mr. Xiang from Hong Kong...
These interviewees who were originally a bit out of place with her program style can be interviewed in an environment they like and are familiar with, and they don't waste too much time. The resistance will be much less. Of course, the people who can make Luyu go out to follow and interview throughout the process must be qualified by her and the program team. Chen Hao is naturally among them.
After continuous interviews and non-stop production, the first episode of the special program "A Date with Luyu - A Date with Lost" was officially launched in less than five days.
"Some people say that he is a person who has wasted his talent. He could have reached the highest stage as a singer, but he turned his career focus to film and television production and performance."
"Some people say that he is a favorite of God who is loved by everyone. At a young age, he has achieved many achievements that he cannot achieve in his lifetime, such as Best Director, Best Actor, Best Supporting Actor, Best Screenwriter, Best Pop Singer, Best Arranger..."
"Some people say that he is the most low-key and youngest billionaire. According to incomplete statistics, his assets, which can be easily calculated in cash, are as high as US$100 million. But he still has no behavior that makes us think he is a rich man. Perhaps, the Patek Philippe watch on his hand given by the boss of the company is a luxury item."
"Some people say that he is destined to fail this time. He is trying to attract attention by spending US$200 million to make a 13-episode TV series; others say that they expect him to open a new chapter in China's entertainment industry."
"He is the host we are going to interview today. Please allow me not to use any title to judge him. Chen Hao, these two words are enough."
