Chapter 342 New Project

This not-so-grand signing ceremony of Golden Harvest still caused a huge response the next day as expected.

Although there was a lot of excitement when the official announcement of the joining of several people was made, this time Jiahe actually held a signing ceremony specifically, which also caused quite a stir again.

In particular, when the group photo of Golden Harvest artists and senior executives appeared on the Internet, it caused huge heated discussion.

"I suddenly found that Liu Zhou is quite handsome. He is not inferior to Liu Ye and Huang Xiaoming."

"He's good-looking enough to fight, otherwise he wouldn't be able to play Zhou Yu, and he has a lot of female fans."

"You won't know until you see it. It's really shocking. It seems that nearly half of the most popular celebrities in the mainland have joined Golden Harvest, right?"

"You only discovered it now, you didn't just connect to the Internet, did you?"

"..."

"Golden Harvest has signed so many popular stars. Is the IPO date imminent?"

"It should be soon. Now with the addition of these people, Jiahe's momentum is even stronger."
"Liu Yifei is still so beautiful. I hope she can have better development after joining Golden Harvest."

"I wonder how Huayi will react when she sees this photo, haha."

"What else can they react to? Is it Huayi that can still compete with Jiahe or is it the Wang brothers that can compete with Liu Zhou? This is a normal business behavior. If you are not as strong as others, you can only admit it!"

"That's right. I feel like only Liu Zhou can manage Huayi. I feel sick when I see the way they behave in the Beijing circle."

"Now that Golden Harvest has signed so many people, they should start a few more projects, right? Now there are more good movies to look forward to."

"Yes, I think so too. I am waiting for the new movie from Golden Harvest."

……

In fact, netizens’ guess is correct. Currently, Golden Harvest is indeed arranging projects for every artist under the company.

Since we have signed them, it is definitely not only to boost momentum and raise the stock price, but also to be responsible for them.

So after the signing ceremony, Zhang Zhao and Chen Guofu have been looking for suitable new projects.

After nearly half a month of searching, and with the help of Liu Zhou, we finally found all the projects.

On March 10, Jiahe held another high-level meeting, but this time only Liu Zhou, Zhang Zhao and Chen Guofu attended.

Chen Guofu was originally filming "The Sound of Wind", but since he was the group's creative director, he could only take time out to come back and participate.

After the three of them sat down, Liu Zhou said directly:

"Mr. Zhang, can you tell me the situation?"

"Mr. Liu, let me talk about TV series first. We have two series ready. One is "The Hidden One" which we previously collaborated with Director Jiang Wei of Beijing Film Academy, and the other is "Snow Leopard" which we collaborated with Shonan TV."

""snow leopard"?"

Liu Zhou knew about "The Hidden Cam". The copyright of the novel for the TV series was in the hands of Golden Harvest, and it was already being planned for production at the end of last year.
I just didn’t expect that Zhang Zhao could actually dig out the TV series "Snow Leopard".

With the huge success of "Drawing Sword", the mainland's TV drama market has been swept by a craze for anti-Japanese war dramas.

However, almost all anti-Japanese war dramas are crudely made and lack common sense. Many anti-Japanese dramas were filmed during this period.

Then in the era of traffic, some young and handsome actors also came to ruin the anti-Japanese war dramas, and a bunch of wonderful dramas were produced. Some of them were so outrageous that they even attracted criticism from above.

After "Bright Sword", the only anti-Japanese war drama worthy of praise is "Snow Leopard".

“Yes, it was Shonan TV that approached us for cooperation because we had experience in filming anti-Japanese war dramas.

I have also read the script of Snow Leopard, which is surprisingly good and very different from the current anti-Japanese war dramas on the market. If it is produced seriously, the ratings should not be low. "

Golden Harvest has always maintained close contact with Shonan TV. When Golden Harvest promotes a movie, it usually goes to Shonan TV's TV programs.

Many of Jiahe's TV series will also be broadcast on Shonan TV, so it can be said that both parties benefit mutually.

"Okay, then invest. By the way, let's see if we can get the male lead over."

Hearing Liu Zhou's words, Zhang Zhao smiled and said:

"It's already coming. Shonan TV didn't have a suitable actor, so the male lead was given to us, but the female lead was taken away by them. I heard that they have connections."

"As long as the male lead comes, we don't care about the others. Who are you going to let play the male lead?"

"Zhu Yawen."

"Okay, just him."

The original version of the character was indeed very well acted, and even the TV series "Snow Leopard" was so successful, in large part because of the character.

In terms of acting skills, Wen Zhang can be regarded as the strongest of the new generation, and even among the entire male actors born in the 1980s, there may be no one who can compare with him.

But he was too arrogant and often acted like a big shot, which offended many people.

When you are in glory, people may tolerate you, but when you are in despair, people will definitely kick you when you are down.

But the cruelest person was his wife, who nailed him to the pillar of shame with just one sentence: "Cherish every moment you have together."

Of course, he deserved it for cheating on his wife.

Now that "Snow Leopard" has fallen into the hands of Golden Harvest, it is certainly impossible for Liu Zhou to give the male lead to Emblem. The two have no intersection at all.

Zhu Yawen's acting skills are not bad either, especially the tough guy type, which is particularly suitable. Maybe Zhu Yawen can bring a different but equally classic version of Zhou Weiguo.

"Has the cast of 'The Hidden' been confirmed?" Liu Zhou asked.

"Most of the others have been confirmed, only the male and female protagonists are left."

"Does Director Jiang Wei have any potential candidates?"

"He said he respected our opinions, but the people we recommended also needed to be auditioned by him."

It seems that Director Jiang Wei has not made himself stupid by teaching, and he still knows some ways of the world.

"I recommend Zhang Yi for the male lead of 'The Disguiser', and as for the female lead..." Liu Zhou hesitated for a moment and continued, "Go ask Mr. Zhou if he wants to act in a TV series.

If she plays the role, give her the female lead, and when you talk to her, tell her that you are very optimistic about this TV series and strongly support it. "

Although Mr. Zhou has already switched to the film industry at this time, he rarely acts in TV dramas.

But she is not like Zhang Ziyi who is unable to humble herself and is also not averse to acting in TV dramas.

Later in 14, he starred in the TV version of Red Sorghum with Zhu Yawen.

So if there is a suitable opportunity, Zhou Xun will not refuse to act in a TV series, not to mention that she became famous through TV series.

The heroine of "The Disguiser" is definitely a classic character. In history, Yao Dazui became popular again with the role of Cuiping.

I think this heroine will definitely not tarnish his reputation as one of the four great beauties.

As for the original male lead, Sun Honglei, I can only say sorry.

In fact, the TV series "The Disguiser" is to some extent a guarantor of the show, and it is not necessary for Sun Honglei to be the only one.

Zhang Yi’s acting skills are also very good now, and he is also very pure and sincere about acting, he just lacks opportunities.

Liu Zhou likes simple actors like Zhang Yi very much. So, Liu Zhou will lend him a helping hand and help him soar to success ahead of time.

I think from now on, Zhang Yi won't have to act in some melodramatic urban romance dramas anymore, and the emoticon package of him and Gao Lu's devilish laughter probably won't appear anymore.

"Okay Mr. Liu."

"What about the movie?"

"As for the movie, first of all, Huang Bo has his own connections to contact a movie, "Bullfighting" directed by Guan Hu, so we don't have to worry about him for the time being."

Although Liu Zhou has not seen the movie "Bullfighting", he has heard of it because Huang Bo won the Golden Horse Award for Best Actor through this movie.

Zhang Zhao paused and continued:

"Then there is Zhang Yimou's "Moon", which has also been officially confirmed to have Liu Ye as the leading male role. The film will officially start shooting at the end of this month.

There is another movie that was collected from the Hong Kong branch, called "Sword Rain", which is a martial arts film. I think it is very good.

Although martial arts movies are somewhat weak now, I think it’s just that there are no good martial arts movies.”

"Are you so optimistic about this movie "Sword Rain"? " Liu Zhou asked with a smile.

"That's right, but the screenwriter of "Sword Rain" wants to be the director himself, which I have some concerns about. I originally wanted Xu Ke to direct this movie."

"Since you think it's a good idea, then agree to let him be the director and let Xu Ke be the producer. But you have to warn him that the cast should be based on our opinions."

The movie "Sword Rain" is indeed an excellent martial arts movie.

After the martial arts craze passed, the only two martial arts movies that were recognized by the audience were "Sword Rain" and "The Sword of the Embroidered Spring".

When Liu Zhou was preparing for his first blockbuster, he was also hesitant between the two films "The Sword of Embroidered Spring" and "Sword Rain".

At that time, Liu Zhou even thought that the two films had similar backgrounds, both set in the Ming Dynasty, so he wanted to see if he could link the two films together to create a "Xiu Chun Dao Universe."

But later I felt it was a bit troublesome, so I didn't do that, and instead directly chose "Xiu Chun Dao".

So now "Sword Rain" has appeared as scheduled, but I didn't expect that it would fall into my hands.

The reason why Liu Zhou deprived the director of his choice of actors was mainly because Su Zhaobing, the screenwriter and director of "Sword Rain", was Wu Baige's student.

Therefore, the original version of "Sword Rain" invited a lot of Taiwanese actors, and even invited a South Korean actor to be the male lead.

Since it is invested by Golden Harvest, of course we have to follow Golden Harvest’s rules.

Historically, Su Zhaobing invited Wu Baige to be the producer. In addition to being worried that he would not be able to control the situation, the most important reason was that he could borrow Wu Baige's fame for subsequent publicity.

Even now, when you go to see this movie, you will find a special note saying it was produced by Wu Baige.

In that case, Liu Zhou will arrange Xu Ke to be the producer for you. To be honest, Liu Zhou is actually a little worried about Su Zhaobing.

With Xu Ke around, it’s safer.

"I think as long as we are willing to invest and let him be the director, he should agree to all these."

"Who are you going to let play the male and female lead?"

"Huang Xiaoming and Fan Bingbing worked very well together in "The Mystery of the Phantom Flame". I think they can work together again."

However, Liu Zhou shook his head and said:
"Change the male lead to Qin Hao. I have a script that is more suitable for Huang Xiaoming."
