Chapter 300: The number one black powder washes the heart
Regarding Zhang Xun's worries, Zhao Shoushi felt that it was unnecessary.
Although Lei Hong and Zhang Yu have a [I am Yu Huanshui] as a foundation, this is only an online drama after all, even if the reputation is good, the audience is not large, and it is only spread in a small area.
Unlike [Iron Fist], which is a completely circle-breaking work, there are many people who have seen it, and there are many more who have not seen it on the Internet, or have heard of it.
There must be a considerable number of these people who are willing to walk into the theater to support Jang Hoon's new film.
Moreover, after the variety show [If You Are Honest, Do Not Disturb] has been broadcast for more than half a year, there are quite a few loyal viewers.
Most of these audiences are middle-aged women and young girls.
Forget about the former, it is estimated that there is no time to walk into the theater. And the latter is the main force that enters the theater. If there is a person watching a movie, you must be accompanied by a boyfriend or a good girlfriend.
As long as the quality of the film of [If You Are Honest, Do Not Disturb] can withstand the first batch of criticism, you can smoothly harvest the box office. Not to mention surpassing the glory of [Iron Fist], it is not a problem to sell a box office of five or six billion.
And Zhao Punctuality's expectations for [Heart Flower Road] are only 300 million.
This is very revealing, especially when Zhao Punctual knows that the quality of the script of [Xinhua Lufang] is better than that of [If You Are Honest, Do Not Disturb].
It's really that Lei Hong and Zhang Yu are more than as famous as Zhang Xun.
Geng Hao and Hao Jian are indeed a little famous, but in terms of box office appeal, they are still far behind.
Not to mention, Zhang Xun used the face of his old man in order to be the starring candidate of [If You Are Honest, Do Not Disturb], and invited several seniors to press the formation.
Pei Youqing went to [Heart Flower Road] It was a charcoal in the snow, if she came to [If You Are Honest, Do Not Disturb], it would be the icing on the cake at most, and it might not be enough.
Zhao Punctual didn't want to worry about Zhang Xun's unfounded people to provoke a terrifying existence that could evolve from a little barbarian cat to a tiger at any time.
With his head shaking like a rattle, he said, "Don't look for me for anyone you look for in this matter." You don't know that I'm the number one black fan in Xiao Pei now.
[Heart Flower Road] is an investment by Qingyu Media, and the share is more than 50%, she is the boss, the heroine has nothing to do with her, and she is asked to be a green leaf of selfless dedication.
Just that Ning Huai, your college classmate, my graduate supervisor, I promised to get him a notebook. The heroine is Ning Huai's wife Ma Li, and she doesn't have Xiao Pei's share.
That's it. The key is that I am preparing a literary film recently, which is intended to be my graduation work, and the heroine can't give it to her.
She originally planned to ask you to be the heroine of [If You Are Honest, Do Not Disturb]. I also refused.
You say, am I on the verge of death crazy temptation? I can't hide from her now, so dare to mention this stubble again. ”
Zhang Xun nodded and agreed: "Xiao Pei doesn't kill you, that's true love." ”
Zhang Xun, who was ridiculing, sensed that something was wrong, and shook Zhao Punctual on the shoulders with both hands, and roared almost like a wild roar: "Damn, some time ago you said that you didn't have time to touch the new script recently, so I agreed to direct [If You Are Honest, Do Not Disturb]."
It's better for you to sneak up on a literary film for yourself. Moreover, if you can take a fancy to it and regard it as a debut novel, it must be very good, and there is even a good chance of winning an award.
Hey, you wouldn't be reluctant to give it to me after writing the script and leave it to yourself to digest, right? ”
Zhao Punctuality, who had a gold star on his head, wanted to die: "If you shake it again, you will have no idea that came out of nowhere." ”
As soon as he heard this, Zhang Xun hurriedly stopped and asked earnestly: "You mean, the script has eyebrows?"
"A little, but there's a small problem. Zhao Punctual pinched the top of his thumb and fingers, leaving only a little position for his fingertips.
"What's the problem?" Zhang Xun was a little excited. The biggest problem for him is that there is not a good enough script, and that is the only problem.
As for the investment, actors, or something else that others are worried about, it is not a problem for him at all.
Is it really not good to take the second generation of the film?
"There's a bit of a problem with the selection of the female number one. ”
Female number one?
Zhang Xun muttered, thinking of Zhao Shoushi's words just now, he asked with some vague speculation: "Do you want Xiao Pei to play the heroine?
"Hey, I'm not allowed to change my mind. Zhao Punctual made no secret of his thoughts.
I'm really embarrassed, I didn't give Pei Youqing several movies in a row, and even he felt that he couldn't explain it like this.
She's the heroine.
Zhang Xun was a little embarrassed, he wanted a literary film because he wanted to hit a wave of awards and prove his strength to make an in-depth movie.
I haven't seen a single hair in this script, and the heroine is about to be booked?
Zhang Xun hesitated: "You also know that literary films pay attention to storytelling, and the most important part of this is the fit between actors and characters." You'll have to tell me about the plot before I can make a decision. As long as it conforms to the character setting, I have no problem here in principle. ”
"The script is tentatively set [Carol], the theme is lesbian, and the two heroines are set. What I asked Xiao Pei for was actually the young man who was loved, and he was the second female lead. I need to sort out and polish the script well, and strive to give it to you before the year. ”
Zhang Xun calculated in his heart that it was the middle of August, and [If You Are Honest, Do Not Disturb] would take two or three months to shoot, plus two months of post-production.
Just in time for the Spring Festival to be released.
At this time, Zhao Punctuary, who is lazier than the donkey of the production team, is estimated to be able to almost take out the script, which can be seamlessly connected.
With an idea in his heart, he directly agreed: "You are the screenwriter, then Xiao Pei will definitely fit the character setting, and I agreed to the matter of the second female lead." However, let's talk about the ugly things in front, this script, your old man must be careful. Dude pointed at it and turned it over.
You don't know, buddy has been a bitter film critic for a long time now. Fuck it, some people suspect I'm not my father's son. The reason is invincible, saying that I did not inherit my dad's artistic cells. ”
Oh?
Zhao Punchou asked curiously, "How did you respond?"
"I responded with a hammer. The more you respond to this, the more it will be over. It's not good to be hung up and beaten by their arranging a weak-hearted name. ”
"That's so interesting. Zhao Punctual whispered, and the three-point loss that could not be concealed in his tone was like a good show or the end of the play on stage.
"What did you say?" Zhang Xun's eyes narrowed slightly, and his eyes showed a fierce light.
Zhao Punctual hurriedly changed his words: "ojbk." ”
"Carol" was originally a Beacon country movie, about a young girl named Terese who chases her dreams in New York but can only become an ordinary salesperson.
Later, she met Carol, a middle-aged blonde woman in a deep marriage crisis, in a department store, and the two fell in love at first sight. And then a series of stories.
If this script wants to be given to Zhang Xun, it must be sinicized. This requires extremely complex energy and mind, even with Zhao Punctuality, it takes a lot of time to perfect and fill.
It took half a year to make a script, and it's really not an exaggeration.
"By the way, what is the theme of the movie you are going to make?" asked Zhang Xun, who remembered the incident, he was still very interested in literary films that could be caught by Zhao Punctuality.
"Actually, it's a very ordinary topic about the education of children in mountainous areas. Zhao Punche thought for a moment and continued: "It was an ordinary teacher who inspired me. The tentative name is [No one is missing], and the others will leave a little mystery first. ”
"Education? It's not the same to eat the national food. Literary films can be made with the main theme. If this movie has a result, it will be your political achievement. Straight up, buddy. ”
Zhang Xun patted Zhao Punctu's arm: "Although I said this, I may not be able to use it." But、、If you lack funds,Tell my brother。 I don't dare to say more, I can still afford to lose three or five million. ”
"I appreciate your kindness, but I don't usually need it. The cost of this movie is very small, I estimate that three million is about the same. It shouldn't be difficult to raise. ”
As a literary film, there are no celebrities in it, not even professional actors, and the funds in terms of remuneration can be saved.
As a director and screenwriter, Zhao Punctual is not prepared to ask for any fees.
As for employee remuneration expenses, whether the investor is the Forbidden City, Imperial Satellite TV or Qingyu Media, they are all paid.
That's not the same as not asking for money, it's the same thing with equipment.
Imperial Satellite TV has just introduced a Motion Controle, which is not woollen, and I am sorry for the audience.
Three million funds are definitely enough, and even, if it weren't for Zhao Punchou's plan to present it in the form of film, two million funds could be taken down.
Zhang Xun laughed at himself: "I knew that I was salty and eating radishes." With your current fame, there are many people who are willing to make friends with you. Even if you know that the three million are going to be lost, you are probably willing to invest. Maybe they're more likely to lose money than you do.
This means that you may feel guilty about them because of this loss, and you will definitely have to think about them when you have the opportunity to make money in the future.
Not to mention, you kid never makes money-losing transactions, I guess that this ordinary theme in your mouth [no one is missing], maybe it will surprise people. ”
"Hopefully. ”
Zhao Punctual looked ahead, his eyes were distracted for a moment, and when he was planning to shoot [No One is Missing], he didn't think about the question of whether to make money or not.
He just felt that he should make this movie. He was ready to lose money and was not ready to introduce other capital.
If he made money as Zhang Xun said, he didn't plan to pocket the money, and he was embarrassed to put it in his pocket. There is more than he needs this money.
Now he has met a Zhang Guimei, who knows if there is still Li Guimei and Wang Guimei.
Just when Zhao Shoushi was full of emotion, a slightly joking male voice and a slightly colorful female voice came from behind him.
"Director Zhang, I heard that a leader has come to inspect the work? ”
"This is Brother Zhao, right? The body is very well-proportioned, I really want to see the muscles under the clothes. ”
When Zhao Shoushi heard this, he turned around and looked at the familiar and unfamiliar man and woman in front of him. They are the heroes and heroines of [If You Are Honest, Do Not Disturb]; Qin Fen and Liang Xiaoxiao.
Playing Qin Fen is Lu You, a domestic first-line actor, Golden Rooster actor, and Cannes International Film Festival actor.
is definitely a big name in the industry, a real senior, and an elder who watched Zhang Xun grow up.
Lu You's work to win the Cannes actor is Zhang Mou's work, and the two are also friends. It is estimated that this is also the reason why he agreed to play the role of [Qin Fen].
The woman's name is Shu Lan, a native of Bay Province, and her acting skills are okay. But it is very beautiful, and it has the title of [Goddess of Dried Apricots].
Of course, Zhao Punctual knew these two, but he had not been in direct contact before. It was he who looked at Zhang Xun and signaled with his eyes: Quickly introduce to my buddy.
Zhang Xun really deserves to be surnamed Zhang, and that is Zhang Kou: "What are you blinking for?
Zhao Shoushi, who was speechless in his heart, hurriedly glanced to the side, for fear that he couldn't help but hammer the thing to death with a fist.
Zhang Xun、、Of course, it was deliberate。 Seeing that Zhao was deflated, he didn't make any more trouble, and took the initiative to introduce the two sides to each other.
Lu You is a predecessor with many honors, and Shu Lan is also a powerful faction with acting skills, appearance and fame.
But Zhao Punctuality is not in vain. As a slash youth, he has developed very well, especially in the small circle of the imperial capital, he is still a little famous.
The three of them were interested in making friends, so they naturally chatted together and made an appointment to go to dinner and drink in the evening.
···
Just when Zhao Punctual was drinking with Lu You and others, there were still many people who were busy.
In a hotel in a small county town under the jurisdiction of Qingdao, a graceful figure ran around the table.
The stack of papers in his hand disappeared at a speed visible to the naked eye—neatly placed on the table.
Even though the air conditioning in the house was working normally, beads of sweat the size of beans still rolled down her forehead from time to time.
After the stack of papers in her hand was placed, she picked up the stack again and was a little angry.
Throwing the document on the table, he said with an unkind face: "If I am guilty, please let the law punish me, instead of being angry about the matter of that pair of critics." ”
This person is Suning.
Her purpose in coming to this small county town is very simple, which is to introduce new partners to Qingyu Media.
Oh no, to be exact, the major shareholders who introduced absolute control.
According to Pei Youqing's intentions, she will sell 80% of the shares, while she herself will only keep 20%.
For this matter, Suning took the company's in-house counsel and a well-known lawyer in the industry, as well as all the information about Qingyu Media, and made a special trip to this small county town to have a [Thousand Miles of Gold].
Except for Qingyu Media's low valuation, which is a little excessive, the other processes are very formal, and it is an almost impeccable angel round of financing.
Tonight, in this room, Suning made an appointment with Zhao Punctuality's parents to meet.
Pei Youqing must know about this matter, and even she led it.
But yesterday, she also said to Zhao Shoushi: Suning will go to Da # Li today to evaluate the [Wutong Inn] she just bought.
Obviously, Pei Youqing lied.
Suning won't go to Dali, and she won't stay in Dali.
As soon as Zhao Punctual left, she dragged her suitcase to the airport and flew directly to this small county where Zhao Punctual grew up.
Pei Youqing had actually arrived, and it was inconvenient for her to come forward, so she stayed in the next room.
Always be prepared to sign and seal the contract. With her had to be the in-house counsel and the famous senior.
In their opinion, tonight's event is very simple, just sign and seal.
After all, this kind of good thing that is more pie than pie in the sky is something that no one can refuse.
but
