Chapter 306: Invest in a fast-paced life and request a script revision

There are a hundred Hamlets for a hundred netizens.

Ever since Yang Hao released the finalized photos of Chang'e and Hou Tu, netizens have been discussing these two characters.

Some people appreciated and supported Da Tiantian playing Chang'e and Yang Chaoyue playing Hou Tu, but at the same time, many people expressed their opposition and incomprehension.

"Can the sweet and beautiful woman play the role of Chang'e? I feel her image and temperament don't match. It would be better to let Yan Danchen play Chang'e."

"Yang Chaoyue is just a cute and playful girl next door. How can she play the compassionate Hou Tu Niangniang well? It would be better to choose Teacher Bai or Teacher Liu instead of her. At worst, we can get Tao Huimin who played Miao Shan."

"The acting skills of Da Tiantian and Yang Chaoyue are also a big question. Can they really play Chang'e and Hou Tu well?"

……

Yang Chaoyue and Tian Xiwei are about the same age, both are sweet girls, and even have similar figures. But Yang Hao still likes Yang Chaoyue a little more, after all, he brought this little girl up.

Through the little girl Yang Chaoyue, Yang Hao felt the joy of nurturing.

After a conversation, Yang Hao leaned against the head of the bed, with one arm around Chaoyue's waist and the other hand holding his mobile phone to check the news about "War of the Liches" on the Internet.

"Chao Yue, there seem to be quite a few voices online opposing your role as Hou Tu."

"Ah? Let me see." Hearing what Yang Hao said, Yang Chaoyue, who was originally resting her head on Yang Hao's chest, enjoying the afterglow, immediately arched her little head upwards and looked at the phone screen.

When Yang Chaoyue saw that many netizens thought she was not qualified for this role, her pretty face, which was originally flushed and smiling, instantly turned pale.

But the lost expression only lasted for seven or eight seconds and soon disappeared, turning into a happy look again.

"Hehe! Let these netizens say whatever they want. The boss won't replace me anyway. It's enough as long as the boss thinks I can do it." Yang Chaoyue is really clear-headed and can directly grasp the core of the problem.

Perhaps in the minds of most netizens, Hou Tu Niangniang is compassionate and should have an amiable image, so the actor should be older and have a more stable temperament.

But Yang Hao didn't think so. As the youngest of the twelve witch ancestors, couldn't Hou Tu be cute and playful? Couldn't she be pretty and sweet? Couldn't she be the image of a little girl next door?

Liu Yifei's debut work "Chinese Paladin 3" played Zhao Linger, who was not of Nuwa's bloodline, but she suppressed the water monster with her body. No one thought that her screen image was bad.

If Yang Hao really wants to follow what netizens say and replace the role of Chang'e with Yan Danchen and the role of Hou Tu with Liu Tao, Tao Huimin and others, then he must be mentally ill.

You don't praise your own woman, but praise others?

Da Mimi and Liu Shishi, who played Changxi and Xihe, are already 30 years old. The main female roles such as Chang'e and Hou Tu were replaced by the older Yan Danchen, Liu Tao and Tao Huimin.

Do we really have to turn "War of Liches" into a battle between old ladies to make it interesting?

As for those who attack Yang Chaoyue for having no acting skills after debuting through a talent show, this is even less of a problem. The older generation of art film directors often use amateur actors, and don’t they act quite well?

Even the Imperial Master used the Little Yellow Duck, and the Fifth Prince used Chen Duling to play "The Left Ear". Aren't the filming effects pretty good?

As long as the director knows how to train and is willing to spend time polishing the talent, acting skills are not a problem at all.

As time goes by, the Spring Festival period finally comes to an end.

Due to the addition of the highly anticipated "The Great Wall", several movies that were released during the Spring Festival in the previous life were not released in this life.

Although the Sino-foreign co-production "The Great Wall" failed both in terms of reputation and box office, its publicity campaign was so strong that it still won the Spring Festival box office championship with 14 billion yuan.

Following closely behind is "The Mermaid" directed by Han Han, which just broke the 1 billion box office.

In the past few years, there were movies with box office revenue of over 2017 billion yuan every year during the Spring Festival period, but "The Great Wall" directly set the box office revenue of the 2012 Spring Festival period back by five years, which is almost the same as "Lost in Thailand" in .

Just when Yang Hao was sitting in his office working, there was a knock on the office door.

"Boss, director Han Han asked me to pass the invitation to you for the celebration banquet of "Sisters Who Make Waves" next week. Do you have time to go?" It was Zhao Liying who pushed the door and walked in.

When Zhao Liying said this, she looked at herself expectantly, and it was obvious that she really wanted to go.

"Yingbao, come and sit here." Yang Hao patted his thigh, motioning the other person to sit on his thigh.

Zhao Liying didn't object. She came straight to Yang Hao, sat on his lap, and put her arms around his neck.

After all, the movie "Sisters Who Make Waves" is starred by Zhao Liying, so it is only natural for Han Han to send herself an invitation.

Whether you go or not is one thing, and whether the other party sends it is another.

"Honey, just come with me!" Seeing that Yang Hao didn't answer whether he would go to the celebration banquet or not, Zhao Liying became a little anxious, so she started to act coquettishly in Yang Hao's arms.

Yang Hao could understand Zhao Liying's feelings.

Although his company invests in many movies every year, he rarely brings Zhao Liying along, as she has more resources in TV dramas.

Now that a movie starring her is a big hit, Zhao Liying can finally feel proud.

The smart and intelligent Zhao Liying could feel that Han Han was a director with great potential, so of course she wanted to get in touch with him.

Han Han was not very famous before, so it was relatively easy for her to get a role in a film. But after the movie "Sisters Who Make Waves" became a big hit, it became very difficult for her to get a role in a film again.

Zhao Liying knew that in order to get the female lead in the top film resources in the entertainment industry, she had to either be designated by the investor, or be helpful in distribution, or have strong film appeal.

Although Zhao Liying is quite popular, her movie appeal is insufficient. If she wants to get top-level movie resources, the best way is to be designated by the investors.

The reason why Zhao Liying wanted Yang Hao to attend the celebration banquet of "Sisters Who Make Waves" so hard was because she wanted to get Yang Hao to invest in Han Han's next new movie.

"Okay, I'll attend the celebration party for Riding the Wind and Breaking the Waves next week."

Han Han's movies basically make money, and Yang Hao had already planned to make friends with her. Zhao Liying invited him to attend the celebration party for "Sisters Who Make Waves", which was just like sending a pillow when he was sleepy.

Originally, he was planning to introduce Da Mimi to Han Han, but he definitely couldn't do that now. He should make some plans for Zhao Liying first. After all, they are both his women, and he should treat them equally.

"That's great!" Upon hearing that Yang Hao agreed to attend the celebration banquet of "Sisters Who Make Waves", Zhao Liying excitedly hugged Yang Hao and kissed him.

"I am very optimistic about director Han Han. I will attend the celebration party this time to see if there is any chance to invest in his next movie." Yang Hao did not hide it and directly told Zhao Liying his intention.

"Really?" Zhao Liying asked in surprise.

She had originally been thinking about how to ask Yang Hao to agree to invest in Han Han's film, but she didn't expect Yang Hao to take the initiative. "Of course it's true, this investment is specifically for you."

This sentence may seem light, but in Ying Bao's heart, it is no different from a vow of love. At this moment, Zhao Liying looked at Yang Hao with eyes that were almost tearing out.

"Honey, I love you so much." Although she had been provided with resources for TV series, she had never been invited to act in a movie, which made Zhao Liying feel more or less resentful. But now everything has disappeared, and Zhao Liying feels that Yang Hao still likes her.
-
Time flies, and soon it is the day of the celebration banquet for "Sisters Who Make Waves".

When Yang Hao and Zhao Liying appeared at the celebration banquet of "Sisters Who Make Waves", they immediately became the focus of everyone present.

"Mr. Yang! Liying!" When Han Han saw Yang Hao and Zhao Liying, he immediately walked up to them and shook hands and said hello.

"Hello, Director Han." Yang Hao also politely returned the greeting.

Compared with Yang Hao, he is completely a little Karami. He thought it was good enough that Haori Film and Television Culture Media could allow Yu Li to come, but he never expected that Yang Hao would come in person.

"Mr. Yang, please sit aside for a while. I still have other guests to take care of."

"Director Han, please go and do your work first. We'll talk later." Han Han was the protagonist of the celebration banquet. He needed to personally receive the guests. He was indeed very busy now, and Yang Hao could understand.

After Yang Hao and Zhao Liying sat down, Deng Chao, Peng Yuyan and Bona's vice president came over to greet them, being very polite.

"Boss, you still have the most face." Seeing that both big-name actors and film and television company bosses were greeting Yang Hao one after another, Zhao Liying, who was sitting next to him, felt very honored.

"Liying, you will have this treatment in the future." Now Zhao Liying is still a little bit lacking. Although she has made some money as an actress, her net worth is just over 100 million, which is far less than that of Zhao Xiaodao in later generations.

After chatting with Zhao Liying for a while, the celebration party officially began soon after, with the same old activities as speeches by the main creators, smashing ice sculptures, etc.

When the celebration banquet was over and Yang Hao, Han Han and Zhao Liying were sitting in the reception room, the real show began.

"Director Han, have you got any ideas for your next film project?" After a few pleasantries, Yang Hao got straight to the point.

Han Han seemed to understand why Yang Hao was attending the celebration banquet this time. Most likely, it was to invest in his new movie.

The largest investor in "Sisters Who Make Waves" is Han Han's company, but he was forced to do it because no one else invested and he had to do it himself.

Who will be the biggest investor of a movie among serious directors? They all use other people's money to make their own movies.

"I already have some ideas for the new film."

Han Han was very excited thinking that Yang Hao might invest in his movie.

"Can you tell me about it?" Yang Hao couldn't remember what Han Han's third movie was about, so he wanted to judge based on the content.

"It's an inspirational comedy about racing. It tells the story of Zhang Chi, a racing driver who was once a big shot in the racing world but now can only run a fried rice stall. He decides to return to the racing world and recreate his past glory together with his former partner." Han Han roughly talked about the idea of ​​the new movie.

It turned out to be "Speeding Life"!

This movie is amazing. The box office of "Speeding Life 1" is not too high, but it is still 17 billion.

"Speeding Life 2" had a total of 33.98 billion.

The most important thing is that this movie has a very good reputation, much better than other weight loss blockbusters released in the same period.

As long as the sequel of this movie does not lose its reputation, there will be "Speeding Life 3" and "Speeding Life 4" later, and it will definitely be a golden goose that lays eggs.

"I've invested in this movie." Yang Hao said without hesitation.

"Ah?" Han Han was a little confused by Yang Hao's words. Investing in movies is a high-risk thing. Is it so careless?
"Mr. Yang, the script hasn't been written yet? It's just a story idea. Are you sure you want to invest now?" Han Han was afraid that he had heard it wrong, so he asked again uncertainly.

"Of course, I think your movie is very much my taste, I am very optimistic about it."

For the first time, Han Han felt that attracting investment was so easy. How come they decided to invest after just a few words?

You know, even though "Sisters Who Make Waves" begged for money from everyone, it still couldn't get much investment. In the end, it had to put up most of the money itself, and several film and television companies such as Bona agreed to follow suit.

"Director Yang, do you have any additional requirements for this movie?" Although Yang Hao was very willing to invest, Han Han still wanted to ask clearly whether the other party had any additional requirements. If the requirements were too excessive, he would have to reconsider.

"I don't have any big requests. I just want to ask if Zhao Liying can play the heroine of your movie." Yang Hao said, pointing at Zhao Liying who was sitting next to him.

"Of course, there is no need to deliberately add more scenes for the heroine. For example, a vase heroine like Ah Xiang in "Detective Chinatown" and Xia Zhu in "The Richest Tomato" will do."

Yang Hao remembered very clearly that there was no female lead in "Speeding Life 1" and "Speeding Life 2", and there was not even a female supporting role. It was a pure man's movie. Now asking the other party to make Zhao Liying the female lead is tantamount to modifying the script.

Yang Hao was also afraid that the other party would modify the original good script into a mess, so he only asked them to create a vase heroine.

Adding a female lead to "Speeding Life" is not necessarily a bad thing. In the previous life, this movie was even beaten by t0 because there was no female lead, and many female audiences also said that this movie was boring.

After all, the current film market is still dominated by female audiences. Adding a vase heroine to please female audiences is not necessarily a bad thing, and it may have a positive effect on the box office and reputation of the film.

"No problem." Hearing that the request was so simple, Han Han agreed immediately.

Originally in his conception, this movie did not have a female lead, but Yang Hao, the financial sponsor, said that the female lead should be Zhao Liying, so from now on this movie has a female lead.

What's more, Yang Hao's request was not excessive. He just asked for a vase heroine. It was not difficult to add such a character.

The most crucial point is that Yang Hao is a major shareholder of Maoyan and Douyin, and has a good relationship with China Film Wanda, and has a great say in film promotion and scheduling.

A sponsor like Yang Hao who provides all-round resource support is something that every director would find hard to refuse.

"Then it will be a pleasure to cooperate."

"It's a pleasure working with you!" Yang Hao and Han Han shook hands happily.

"Director Han, remember to come to my company tomorrow to sign a cooperation agreement." Yang Hao reminded him before leaving.

"Don't worry, I will go to your company on time tomorrow."
