Chapter 61, "Goodbye Mr. Loser," begins filming.
The opening ceremony of the Olympic Games greatly excited Gu Qingshan and Jing Tian.
Back at their lodgings, both of them were still feeling the heat of the moment.
The next morning, when Gu Qingshan woke up, he saw Jing Tian sleeping soundly with his head on his arm.
After getting up and washing up, Gu Qingshan set off for Qingshan Film and Television.
The company staff looked listless, and some even took leave, clearly too excited from watching the Olympic opening ceremony last night.
Gu Qingshan took stock of his assets, listing each penny in Qingshan Film and Television's accounts clearly.
The biggest source of income came from the movie "Lost in Thailand".
Gu Qingshan did not pocket the box office revenue from "Lost in Thailand" directly as a personal share. Instead, it was included in the investment revenue of Qingshan Film and Television, with 11444.16 million yuan belonging to Qingshan Film and Television.
In addition, the TV rights for "Lost in Thailand" cost 200 million, overseas rights cost 700 million, and DVD/VCD rights licensing fees cost 400 million, totaling 1300 million.
In addition, the revenue from product placement and ad placement in "Lost in Thailand" reached 2600 million yuan.
In other words, "Lost in Thailand" brought in 15344.16 million yuan in revenue for Qingshan Film & Television.
Secondly, the box office revenue from "Love is Not Blind" went into Gu Qingshan's pocket, but the 1700 million yuan in revenue from television broadcasting rights and other sources went into Qingshan Film and Television's account, as did the 320 million yuan from "Night Shop".
Then there's "Meteor Shower," which earned 3200 million for its first broadcast rights and 1800 million for product placement and ad placements. The second round of broadcast rights was sold to four companies at 15 per episode, for a total of 2400 million.
Expenses, including staff salaries, official vehicles, etc., totaled 3000 million.
Qingshan Film & Television still has 19964.16 million yuan, which is almost 2 million yuan.
As for debt, it is almost negligible.
Gu Qingshan secretly breathed a sigh of relief. As long as Poly Group was willing, Qingshan Film and Television could easily take over.
After all, "Lost in Thailand" will be released during the National Day holiday.
These days, it's extremely difficult to invest in a company with film and television production, distribution, and promotion capabilities, let alone gain controlling interest.
Gu Qingshan wouldn't even look at companies like Rongxinda and Tangren.
This is a once-in-a-lifetime opportunity.
Having missed this opportunity, he has focused on developing Qingshan Film and Television, which will take him five or six years to achieve.
Some things cannot be achieved simply by having money to invest and develop.
Take movie theaters for example, is it really that easy?
That involves all aspects.
Looking at the companies that rose to prominence in later generations, they either only did distribution, or only film and television production and artist management; very few were able to get involved in all of them.
......
In the afternoon, at the Huairou Film and Television Base.
The filming of "Goodbye Mr. Loser" was launched.
There was no grand launch event; the launch was conducted quietly.
There's no way around it; all the news is about the Olympics right now. Once the Olympics begin, everything has to give way to the Olympics.
The entertainment industry is no exception.
After Gu Qingshan led everyone in worshipping the gods, they took photos to commemorate the occasion, and then began preparations for filming.
The cast has undergone some adjustments.
Charlotte - Shen Teng.
Ma Dongmei — Ma Li.
Qiuya—Che Xiao.
Teacher Wang — Tian Yu.
Gu Qingshan glanced at Tian Yu, who was being pulled into taking photos with Shen Teng and the others, and gave her a strange look.
Tian Yu and Tang Wei met in 2004 while filming "Police Flower Yanzi". The two fell in love on set and quickly became a couple, even reaching the point of preparing for marriage.
However, the film "Lust, Caution" brought a turning point to their relationship.
After the movie was released, Tian Yu and Tang Wei broke up.
As for the reason for the breakup, it goes without saying.
Gu Qingshan chose Tian Yu to play the role of the teacher because Tian Yu was suitable, and Tian Yu's acting skills are quite good.
Looking at Shen Teng, it turns out he has already broken up with his girlfriend and is now with Ma Li.
The butterfly effect is quite significant.
The costume and makeup artists took the actors to get their looks done, the lighting and script supervisors got busy, the production crew put the tracks up, and the photographers began preparations.
The entire production crew began to operate smoothly and quickly.
The production team for "Goodbye Mr. Loser" had already been assembled, and pre-production work had begun long ago.
Although Gu Qingshan started filming immediately, a lot of manpower and resources were invested in the pre-production preparations, with props, costumes and makeup prepared well in advance.
Gu Qingshan was involved in the costume fitting for the main actors very early on.
At the Huairou Film and Television Base, some indoor scenes were filmed, and then the filming would move to Dalian, which was the main filming location.
Today's filming scene is Xia Luo attending Qiu Ya's wedding, and it's being filmed at a hotel.
Once all the actors had finished their makeup, Gu Qingshan's gaze couldn't help but be drawn to Che Xiao.
Che Xiao was wearing a white low-cut wedding dress, her deep cleavage was dazzlingly prominent, and the whiteness almost made her glow.
Gu Qingshan secretly decided that he would have Che Xiao come to his room that night wearing this wedding dress, and he would give her a proper lesson on the play.
"All departments, prepare yourselves! Action!"
Once the clapperboard sound ended, filming began.
Gu Qingshan looked at the monitor. Shen Teng had gained weight, so he wasn't as handsome, but he had become much more comical.
This scene was filmed three times before Gu Qingshan finally let it pass.
Hearing Gu Qingshan say "That's enough," Shen Teng secretly breathed a sigh of relief. This was his second time making a movie, and his first time playing the male lead. Ever since receiving the script for "Goodbye Mr. Loser," Shen Teng had taken it very seriously, memorizing it thoroughly and constantly studying the character.
Even though he was acting opposite Ma Li every day, his girlfriend didn't understand him and threw tantrums. Shen Teng got annoyed and simply broke up with her.
The two were together for several years, breaking up and getting back together several times.
"Director Gu, how was it? Do you want to do it again?" Shen Teng came to Gu Qingshan's side and asked cautiously.
Gu Qingshan was his benefactor.
They not only cast him in movies, but also signed him to a contract; they became his boss.
Shen Teng was very satisfied with his basic monthly salary of 10,000 yuan. How much was his basic salary at Happy Twist?
This time, he was given the lead role and a salary of 30 yuan.
Gu Qingshan smiled calmly, "No need to film anymore, that's enough!"
Gu Qingshan was quite satisfied with Shen Teng. Shen Teng did not stubbornly maintain her figure, but instead followed his advice to gain weight.
Shen Teng, who is almost thirty years old, doesn't really have much of an advantage if he wants to play young heartthrobs or similar roles, as there is never a shortage of handsome men and beautiful women in this industry.
Since that's the case, why not take a different approach and enhance your own strengths?
Shen Teng became one of China's most bankable actors for more than ten years afterward, was it because Shen Teng was handsome?
That's not true at all!
Only by developing Shen Teng's unique attributes can he become an incredibly dazzling comedian, instead of fading into obscurity among the masses.
Just like developing the unique attributes of Xu Zheng, Wang Baoqiang, and Huang Bo, Gu Qingshan is now developing the unique attributes of Shen Teng in the filming of "Goodbye Mr. Loser," so that Shen Teng can awaken the "lovable by all ages" buff that he has in his body!
