asked for a few main dishes, others asked for the opinions of a few people and added two, and then Yang Dongxu asked for a bottle of Moutai. There is no one who doesn't drink at the party these days, especially the people in the business field, and it always feels like something is missing if you don't drink at friends and private banquets.

"I don't know if Manager Liu told you why you invited you to dinner today when you talked about it just now?" motioned to the waiter to let the kitchen serve the food as soon as possible, Yang Dongxu asked with a smile.

Zhang Weiping and Zhang Yimou were a little surprised by Yang Dongxu's straightforwardness, while Liu Zongsheng was not surprised. He knows very well the temper of his big boss, and talking about things is never high, in short, capable, simple, and straightforward have always been the style of his big boss's work.

"I said it, but I won't go into details, I heard what Manager Liu meant, you don't just want to invest in this movie, but you are going to make a big investment. Zhang Weiping and Zhang Yimou glanced at each other, and then Zhang Weiping spoke.

After all, he is the director of the new picture, and it is more appropriate for him to come forward to talk to Yang Dongxu, an investor who suddenly appeared.

That's what it means. Yang Dongxu nodded.

That's right, he's not just going to take over the part of the film that hasn't been found yet, but he's also going to make additional investments.

"I don't know how much Yang Shao is going to add?" Zhang Weiping asked.

"In addition to the part of this drama that has not found investors at present, I will add another 20 million. Yang Dongxu stretched out two fingers, "US dollars!"

"This ......" Zhang Weiping was stunned, and Zhang Yimou next to him also looked at Yang Dongxu a little incredulously.

Only Liu Zongsheng, who knew this amount in advance, was quite calm, but when he heard Yang Dongxu say the number, the corners of his eyes couldn't help twitching.

You must know that this is 2,000 US dollars, according to the current exchange rate of more than 160 million yuan, not to mention additional investment, even if Haina makes a movie independently, it can be regarded as a big production.

And that's not counting the part of the original spare investment in this movie, and with this, Hainer's investment in this movie has reached a staggering $35 million. It's 5 million more than the original planned $30 million filming cost of the hero movie.

When I heard that Yang Dongxu was going to make additional investments in addition to the original investment. The expression on his face was richer than that of Zhang Weiping and Zhang Yimou at the moment.

"This ...... What, is it a little too much?" Zhang Yimou, who spoke, felt that his throat was a little dry after speaking, and he couldn't help but pick up the teacup in front of him and take a sip of water.

He Zhang Yimou can be regarded as a person who has seen big scenes, after all, he has won countless awards in the world, and he has not seen movies with large-cost investment.

But if you count Yang Dongxu's additional investment, the investment cost of the whole drama directly comes to 50 million US dollars, which is equivalent to more than 400 million yuan, which is really not an ordinary scary.

"Even if there is an overrun during the shoot, it doesn't take that much. Zhang Weiping added that he felt his throat was a little dry.

Seriously, when it comes to capital, he has a broader vision than Zhang Yimou, after all, Zhang Yimou is just a director, and he is the one who throws millions and tens of millions into the filming, and what he takes out is real money. Moreover, he himself is engaged in real estate and aviation food, and the capital he has seen is also hundreds of millions.

But without blinking, he directly smashed more than 200 million into a play, and it was the first time he really saw it, it was more than 200 million yuan, not more than two dollars.

"Since I've invested in what I'm sure is going to use the best, that number sounds like a lot. The total cost of filming is unique even in Hollywood, but if you calculate it carefully, you may have to overspend. Yang Dongxu said.

Zhang Weiping and Zhang Yimou's eyes couldn't help but change when they looked at him, you must know that they are film investors and film directors are insiders, and they still know a little about the miraculous rise of Haina and the legendary boss Yang Dongxu.

But today, when I saw it, I looked like a super nouveau riche as long as it was expensive, and I didn't want to be right. Such people don't know if it's good or bad when they get involved in filmmaking.

Seeing the eyes of the two people, Yang Dongxu wiped his nose, seemed to guess what the two people were thinking, and glanced at the two people. Zhang Weiping and Zhang Yimou couldn't help but put away the weird expressions on their faces in embarrassment.

"Let me explain, you wanted Haina to invest before, so the information sent is very detailed, and I have read it myself. It was because I saw it that I felt the need to invest more.

For example, in terms of costume design, you invite well-known Japanese film costume designers and teams, who have even won international awards in costume dramas, which is actually a good choice but still not enough.

Although Japan is deeply influenced by Chinese culture, they are not Chinese after all. Even if you grasp the background of the movie, you can't grasp the charm of the end of the Warring States period, but you can't grasp the things in your bones.

So at this point, I will ask several old experts in China who have studied the history of the Warring States and the Qin Dynasty to take action, and the two sides will confirm each other and try to restore the vision, in addition to the costumes, there are also the etiquette and customs at that time, which are what the actors need to learn......"

The big production of Hero is really good, otherwise it wouldn't have won awards internationally, and it would have been a big hit at the box office. But this play is not without faults, among them, as far as the costumes are concerned, although they have reached a certain degree of historical restoration, they are far from enough.

Especially in some fight scenes, women's long sleeves flutter, men's big sleeves flying, and it looks very ancient. But in fact, in ancient times, not everyone wore long-sleeved robes.

The long-sleeved robe was more like a dress worn during the New Year or important occasions in ancient times, which can be seen from the terracotta warriors and horses unearthed in Xi'an.

At that time, there was definitely the concept of a strong suit suitable for battle, and the warrior would definitely wear it neatly and neatly suitable for combat, and you couldn't move to make a long-sleeved flying surface fluttering in the wind, and it seemed to be an ancient person at first glance, but I always felt a little awkward in my heart. The braincase is a little more lively, thinking about the clothes so flying, not afraid of entangled themselves, or affecting the vision when fighting?

So this point must be changed, the clothes when meeting guests, the clothes when they are interviewing, and how the swordsman should be dressed in ordinary times, not to mention that it is exactly the same, but at least it must be portrayed in line with reality. Don't let foreigners think of kung fu and fight scenes, all kinds of clothes and hair that violate physics.

In addition to costumes and props, the last years of the Warring States period were all bronze, and Qin Jian had short swords, as well as heavy two-handed swords suitable for chopping. Cold weapons should be made to be the edge of cold weapons, and they must not be finished just by looking at the elegant.

Why does the Japanese katana always feel much more well-known abroad than the various swords in China, which are obviously the pinnacle of cold weapons?

Isn't it because foreigners who like to look at things from the perspective of physical science feel that the katana looks more suitable for combat?

You're a soft sword, and you're a bouncing thing that can fight, and you can split a sturdier-looking weapon in half when you slash?

Look at the prototypes of the Qin sword, the Han sword, the Tang sword, and even the horse lance, which one is not a tough weapon from the perspective of combat, and those bells and whistles soft swords were good accessories in ancient times? Just like the jade pendant hanging on the waist, the watch that people wear on their wrists now is not used for combat at all.

There was silence in the box, and everyone had a contemplative look on their faces, as if they were very touched by what Yang Dongxu said.

At this time, the waiter knocked on the door and began to serve the food, only to break the silence in the box.

"I'm just going to make it a rough idea that some of them may be right and some of them may be wrong. But that's roughly the idea, and when the time comes, let's talk about it in detail and listen to those authoritative experts.

Try to keep the essence of the facts, of course, because there are some parts of the film that must be embellished. That's why I agreed to join the discussion with a costume group now, instead of saying that everything should be done according to the expert teacher.

Come on, come on, don't even think about it, eat the dishes as soon as the dishes come up, these dishes won't taste good when they're cold. Looking at Zhang Yimou, who was still thinking about something, Yang Dongxu beckoned everyone to move their chopsticks.

The waiter next to him opened the wine he had ordered and poured it for several people.

"I didn't expect Yang Shao to be so insistent on the culture of our ancestors, it's really admirable, I toast you. Zhang Weiping picked up his wine glass and said.

"It's not that we insist, but that we should let the bright part shine because it originally belongs to our bright culture. Don't look at the parts that think you've won a prize, or feel like it's exciting, just follow the crowd and do it.

This kind of thing is actually very empty, and it may look wonderful at the time, but it looks very boring in hindsight. Speaking of this, Yang Dongxu couldn't help but smile.

Of course, this may be a bit hypocritical, or you think I'm a little too idealistic. After all, the movie doesn't need any aftertaste, as long as the box office attracts the audience at the time, and it is enough for the judges to see that it is good and win the award, this is a success.

But then again, who said that if we shoot realistically, we won't be amazing? It's not as good as those bells and whistles? I'm not so rigid, and the place where it should be processed does need to be processed. But what should be true must be real.

If nothing else, you look at the epic masterpieces of foreign countries, those movies that are still praised after so many years. Which one is not a live presentation, and one of those bells and whistles is on the list?

Since we have invested so much money and want to shoot, let's shoot the best. Epic masterpieces may not be experienced by a few of us, but since the ancestors were able to claim the throne and dominate the world in ancient times.

Then what they used and thought at the time was the best, and as long as we presented these things, it was absolutely epic. At that time, who would dare to say that we can't shoot our own culture?" Yang Dongxu raised the one in his hand and drank it all.

It seems that Haina Entertainment has made a lot of money over the years, and now it is still the absolute boss of the entertainment industry. Yang Dongxu has advanced memories, all kinds of smooth sailing, very refreshing.

But he has always had a dream in his heart to make a domestic blockbuster, but he is not that material in this regard. At least compared with a big director like Zhang Yimou, his previous seemingly amazing achievements, thrown out of the open part, the rest can only be regarded as the middle and upper level, and it will definitely not reach the top.

So this time when he met the big production of Hero, as well as the big director Zhang Yimou, he felt that this was an opportunity, so he was willing to throw money into it and ask for everything to be the best.
