After Bai Xiaonian was finalized, the entire starring framework was basically decided. There were not many supporting roles left, so Gao Qunshu directly handed over to Chen Guofu to handle it.

Next is the choice of the outdoor scene. [Wind Sound] The scene of this drama is actually very simple. There are two main ones, one is Qiuzhuang and the other is Chenghuang Temple.

"There are two choices in the City God Temple, one is the Demon City and the other is Tianjin. However, there are not many buildings in the last century that have been preserved in the Magic City. It may cost a lot of money to completely restore the style of the time." Gao Qunshu visited on the spot. In fact, this is not a phenomenon in the Demon City. All first-tier cities are the same. The economy needs to develop and the times are progressing. Many old buildings have been demolished, such as the bathhouses in the capital before, which are basically impossible to see.

"What about Tianjin?" Zhou Xing looked embarrassed when he saw Gao Qunshu.

Gao Qunshu smiled bitterly: "There is a well-preserved exterior in Tianjin. It used to be the British Concession and the French Concession. It was called Junzhong Street and also Financial Street. Later, Tianjin was liberated, and this street was protected, but it has never been opened to the crew..."

"Why don't you apply to try it?" Zhou Xing was lucky.

Although Gao Qunshu knew that there was little hope, he had no other choice so far, he could only be a dead horse.

"Where is the outdoor scene of Qiuzhuang?" Zhou Xing asked.

Gao Qunshu used slides to project the curtain in the conference room: "The inside and outside of Qiuzhuang must be at the forefront of the audience's lives. There is no ready-made outdoor scene. I think this cliff in Dalian is more suitable as the outdoor scene of Qiuzhuang. The only problem is that it will take some effort to build an outdoor scene on such a cliff, and many large machinery cannot be used."

"What are we afraid of? What we in China lack the most is construction ability. If we can't get large machinery, we can only rely on manpower. If we give money, we'll finish it?" Zhou Xing smiled.

Construction speed in China = Party A's payment speed. No matter what cliffs or mountain streams and rifts, as long as the money is in place, there is no work that cannot be done.

Gao Qunshu thought it was true. Anyway, this drama was invested 80 million yuan, and Zhou Xing was a guest star. The combined pay for the starring actors was only 20 million yuan, and the remaining money was enough to build the outdoor scene.

"Okay, I'll find someone to start work now."

The project to build the exterior of Qiuzhuang was quickly taken out? Nowadays, those who do construction have a lack of such a boss who is willing to give money.

However, Tianjin's outdoor shooting application was beaten back without any surprise? However, just as Zhou Xing was about to go to the Magic City to build the outdoor shooting, an unexpected news came.

"Next year isn't the 60th anniversary? The top is preparing to shoot a tribute movie? Our script has been selected for the first round. If we can enter the second round? Maybe we can apply again and we can do it?" Gao Qunshu said excitedly.

Zhou Xing shook his head: "Forget it? How many pairs of eyes are staring at? How could it be our turn?"

"Let's try it, we don't need to spend money anyway." Gao Qunshu heard that this time he really put in effort, not looking at relationships, only looking at quality.

Of course? [Sound of Wind] is still just about the script? No matter how good the script is, you can only enter the second round first. You have to wait until the film is filmed and submitted for review before the third round of competition can be held.

It’s true that a month later, I posted an internal document on my hair? [Sound of Wind] Entering the second round of the tribute video, Zhou Xing and Gao Qunshu were under this banner? He really applied for shooting permissions for external locations in Tianjin.

"Photography is OK, but all buildings are not allowed to be laid and there is no damage? After the shooting, all buildings must be restored." said the Cultural Relics Protection Department of Tianjin.

"It must be? We will take photos of each building in advance and keep archives? We will definitely restore the original appearance afterwards." Gao Qunshu quickly agreed.

Time has come to mid-October without realizing it? Gao Qunshu went to Dalian to supervise the construction of Qiuzhuang, and Zhou Xing was not idle either. [Love Call Transfer 2] was scheduled for November 23, and the publicity plan was also put on the agenda.

In the past, Zhou Xing was on the front line in publicity, but now he has to start coordinating the entire publicity and distribution process, which is a new experience.

Fortunately, the box office performance of [Love Call Transfer 1] was pretty good, and some theaters were signed smoothly. The more troublesome ones were Huayi and Chengtian. Both of them had their own theaters. Zhou Xing was a shareholder of Chengtian in the past, so some resources were followed by Chengtian, and the issuance was also through Chengtian's channel.

But now Zhou Xing has transferred the shares to Wang Jinghua, and this time filming [Wind Sound], the leading actors are all artists under Huayi, and Chengtian and Huayi have always been in a competitive relationship.

For this reason, Zhou Xing specially invited Wang Jinghua to have a meal. Wang Jinghua also expressed readily that this matter was included in her. After all, she is also the second largest shareholder of Chengtian, and it is still useful to say something.

"By the way, do you remember Bai Baihe who took her to your company to audition last time?" After dinner and chatting, Wang Jinghua seemed to mention it inadvertently.

Zhou Xing nodded: "Remember, a very spiritual girl, very good."

"That's right. This girl has been acting in TV series before. Is there any role that can show her face in this movie? It's okay if you don't have lines, just let her feel the atmosphere of the movie." Wang Jinghua said.

Zhou Xing thought for a while: "It seems that there is a Japanese maid. If she doesn't think the character is too small."

"Okay, that's her."

Back at the company, Wang Jinghua called Bai Baihe to the office.

"What? I think the character is too small?" Wang Jinghua said with a stern face when she saw Bai Baihe was not talking.

Bai Baihe quickly shook her head, but she felt uncomfortable. After all, the second female lead was the first female lead. She asked her to play a small supporting role who didn't even know if she had any lines. How could she be willing to ask her to do it?

"You, don't be sad. This time I asked you to play this supporting role, mainly to make Zhou Xing deepen his impression of you, and to perform well when he went to the crew. Remember, in the entertainment industry, there are only young actors, no small roles, and Zhou Xing was also a supporting actor at the time." Wang Jinghua is actually quite optimistic about Bai Baihe. It's not that her acting skills are good, but that she is young. The older generation of actresses such as Zhou Xun, Gong Li, and Zhang Ziyi are already old, and the new generation of actresses have not yet made it out. Sometimes people's lives are like this.

Like Li Bingbing, when she debuted, she happened to be the time when this group of mainland actresses were shining. So many years later, she had just wandered around. If she was born ten years later, with Li Bingbing's acting skills, she would definitely be the leader of the new generation.

"There are only small actors, no small roles?" Bai Baihe murmured to herself.

On the other hand, Zhou Xing made an appointment with Li Xue again.

Although Li Xue is in charge of the artist department, she is in the same company and the manager of the issuing department also needs to give her some face. However, she is doing business. The commission for Huayi Cinema issuing is 58%, which is already very high.

But there is no way, who can let others master the channels?

In terms of publicity, the starring actor of [Love Call Transfer 2] is Tong Liya. She is not very famous and she must not be the main feature. Fortunately, the male actors who play her are all very popular. Of course, in terms of fame, Zhou Xing is naturally the first to bear the brunt.

Therefore, in the promotional poster of [Love Call Transfer 2], Tong Liya only accounts for a small part as the absolute star, while Zhou Xing and several other more popular male actors directly account for more than half.

The publicity plan was officially launched in late October, and Tong Liya, who had not seen her for a while, also appeared in front of Zhou Xing. This girl seemed to be much whiter than before. I don’t know if it was the cosmetics given by Zhou Xing that played a role.

"By the way, do you still remember my roommate Wang Zixuan?" Tong Liya lay on the sofa without any image, pressing the remote control, resting her head on Zhou Xing's shoulder, as lazy as a kitten.

Zhou Xing was reading the script of [Wind Sound]. When he heard the script, he paused: "Remember, isn't that your best friend? What's wrong?"

"She actually got an assistant to a village official. She didn't act and actually went to be a civil servant." Tong Liya suddenly sat upright.

Zhou Xing looked at Tong Liya in confusion: "Ah, what's wrong? Who stipulates that you must be an actor after graduating from the Central Academy of Drama? How good is it to be a civil servant? It's not as stable as being an actor?"

"No, you don't understand. Zixuan has such good professional grades, can dance and martial arts, and she likes acting so much..." Tong Liya suddenly felt a little depressed.

Zhou Xing laughed in his heart. This girl probably just entered society from the ivory tower on campus, so she felt so much emotion. In fact, there were so many extras in Hengdian, who had been acting for more than ten years, but in the end she gave up?

Compared with survival, dreams are not as important as imagined.

"Ahem, Yaya, I'm a little sleepy." Zhou Xing suddenly approached Tong Liya's ear.

Tong Liya's ears turned red, and then her face turned red. On the night of graduation, she and Zhou Xing were already... Of course, they knew the hints that both novice drivers knew.

"But, I'm not sleepy." Tong Liya wanted to struggle for a while.

Zhou Xing held her down and then hugged her horizontally: "No, you're sleepy."

"Oh, the TV is not turned off yet..."

"It's okay, so you won't be able to let go."

.........

The next day, in the nanny's car, Tong Liya glared at Zhou Xing fiercely, but the latter raised an eyebrow at her, with an extremely arrogant attitude.

"Hiss~~~" Zhou Xing suddenly screamed, and everyone looked at him for no reason.

"Ahem, it's okay, it seems that some little bug was staring at it."

Tong Liya heard Zhou Xing say that she was a little bug, and she sent a threat signal dissatisfiedly. Unfortunately, Zhou Xing had already held her evil little hand firmly.

"snort."

This time the announcement was a TV interview program, which only requires two people, so Zhou Xing naturally arranged him and Tong Liya together in public and private affairs.

In the dressing room, the host sent a Taiwanese book.

"Miss Tong, your voice..." The host happened to have interviewed Tong Liya before.

In front of outsiders, Tong Liya had no choice but to say: "Cough cough, Sister Jing, I have some cold recently and my throat is a little dry."

"Oh, that's it. I have throat soaking pills here. I'll give them to you later. You must pay attention to your health when changing seasons recently. Don't be too busy."

puff.

Well, Zhou Xing has been thinking wrongly, mainly because of the word "work"...it is very connotative.

After Sister Jing left, Tong Liya naturally refused to let Zhou Xing go, and pulled him hard on his waist and vented his anger.

The program finally started recording.

Sister Jing asked, "As far as I know, Zhou Xing not only participated in this drama, but also an investor in this drama, right?"

"Yeah, that's right." Zhou Xing nodded and admitted generously.

Sister Jing asked again: "I remember at the Academy Awards ceremony, you said you wanted to transform behind the scenes, and you didn't seem to have any works on the big screen this year. Are you planning to quit the stage?"

"No, actually, there is a movie that has been finished, but it has not been released yet. As for the transformation, it did not start from this movie. The previous [Love Call Transfer 1] was also invested by me." Zhou Xing shook his head and denied.

"Why do you think of behind the transformation?" Sister Jing asked many questions that audiences want to know. Logically, Zhou Xing just won the Best Actor Award, and it was time to make great achievements.

"Actually, after filming the drama for so many years, I found that being an actor is too limited. If you want to make a good movie, it is not enough to rely on a few people in front of the stage to act there. There is a lot of work behind the scenes that you need to be perfect so that a good movie can be presented to the audience." Zhou Xing explained.

Sister Jing nodded and turned the topic to Tong Liya: "Yaya, I just appeared on our show not long ago, right?"

Tong Liya smiled and nodded, and her two little dog teeth showed sharp corners: "Yes, last month, I came with the crew of [Mother Yi Tianxia]."

"That's a coincidence. [Mother Yi Tianxia] will be released next month. Does Yaya think there is any difference between filming TV series and filming movies?" Sister Jing asked.

Tong Liya tilted her head and thought: "The difference is quite big. After all, the carriers of movies and TV are too different, so movies are relatively strict."

"I remember before [Love Call Transfer 1] you were a guest star, and this time you became the female lead, and you filmed with so many handsome male actors. Isn't it different? "

"Actually it's okay..."

When recording the show, Zhou Xing and Tong Liya had almost no communication, which made Sister Jing think they were not very familiar with each other. In fact, it was the case. After all, Tong Liya is just a young actor and is far from Zhou Xing's status. She basically took advantage of the popularity when she appeared on the show with Zhou Xing.

After a series of publicity, [Love Call Transfer 2] finally gained some fame. According to the convention, the New Year holidays every year start from mid-November.

On November 21, [Love Call Transfer 2] will be released nationwide.

The reason why I chose to release this time is mainly to avoid some big productions.

For example, Zhou Xing starred in "Ip Man" has been scheduled for December 23, Xiaogang Cannon's "If You Are the One" is scheduled for December 18, and Chen Kaige's "Mei Lanfang" is scheduled for December 5.

There is no doubt that the Chinese-language movie in December will be another fierce battle. [Love Call Transfer 2] is released first, so it can only avoid becoming cannon fodder. In the end, the box office will only be left to fate.

"Don't be too nervous. At least there are no strong opponents this month, and the cost of this drama is not high. You can get the money if the box office exceeds 25 million." In the screening room, Zhou Xing patted Tong Liya's back of his hand and comforted him.
Chapter completed!
