"In that case, let's make a blockbuster. Jiang Wen looked at Zhao Fusheng and said slowly.

Now the concept of blockbusters in China is actually not very clear, in the eyes of many people, if there is a lot of money invested and many big-name stars invited, it is considered a blockbuster.

Actually, this is not true.

Big-name stars don't mean box office, if that's the case, then tens of millions of fans on Weibo in the future, millions of fans will forward a garbage Weibo, and writing an inexplicable song can surpass the international diva SKR, wouldn't it be able to rule the film and television industry?

Later generations of Zhao Fusheng remembered that there were two years, whether it was investors or distributors, they were very superstitious about traffic stars, and in their opinion, as long as a drama had those traffic flowers and fresh meat to join, it would definitely be able to sell a good box office.

As it turned out, it was just a beautiful dream.

The street hit of "Three Worlds and Three Lives" and the street hit of "European Raiders", with ironclad facts, the movies that rely on traffic and stars alone cannot attract mature audiences.

The current film market is no longer the era when no one read the original Sunglasses King's "East Evil and West Poison", and Grape Liu can recover the loss by using the original team to shoot a "East Becomes West".

Of course, although the mainland film market in 2005 is still not very mature, the failure of "Night Banquet" and "Wu Ji" also proves that movies still need quality, otherwise even blockbusters, big directors and big stars will also hit the street.

And Jiang Wen's idea is very clear, he plans to make this drama more magnificent, and then simply come to the extreme of personal heroism.

"What do you mean?"

Zhao Fusheng looked inexplicable, although he had written a few scripts, but they were all written down in his previous life, to put it bluntly, it was just a step-by-step copy, if he was really allowed to engage in literary creation, Zhao Fusheng knew very well that he didn't have that ability.

There is a specialization in the art industry, and Lao Jiang is a real professional.

"It's very simple, the story of your senior is the main line, and the character of Chen Shijie is shaped into a lonely hero. Jiang Wen said with a smile.

Zhao Fusheng was stunned, but if he looked carefully, it was really like this.

If it is really written according to what Jiang Wen said, this story is still very interesting.

Thinking of this, Zhao Fusheng couldn't help but admire Jiang Wen, no wonder this guy can become an outstanding top director in the domestic film industry in the future, just this ability, he definitely doesn't have it.

In fact, this is very normal, because the core of a movie is actually the content of the story.

You know, for those big directors, with their fame and connections in the industry, actors have never been a problem, for example, Zhang Guoshi wants to make a film, will there be a shortage of actors?

This is where the confidence of a top director lies.

Because all the first-line stars know that if you want to be more popular, if you want to have a famous acting school, you have to cooperate with these big directors, you don't see the international chapter, it was already half cool, but the sunglasses king made her popular with a "Chivalrous Palace II", and she was stunned, as for the later and Xiao Sa and Wang Bancheng, it was all after getting up again, anyway, people have had enough, and it is not difficult to cultivate oneself and pretend to be a good wife and mother, it is another new work.

As for investment, it is even less of a problem for big directors, every top director, as long as they reveal the news that they are going to make a new film, and investors who come to the door waving banknotes, will definitely line up.

This can be seen from the members of the Cross-Strait and Three Places Money-Losing Association.

For example, Hou loses money, I am a professional, Xiaoxian, Wang, and the pit money never ends, Jiawei, and Jiang, I haven't heard of the budget.

The reason is very simple, on the one hand, although the works of these guys may not be popular at the box office, and even often have a long shooting cycle and are easy to overspend, when their movies are really good, and they can win awards. What's more, you don't know when these guys will impress the audience with what they shoot, and then the box office explodes.

Taking the movie "Let the Bullets Fly" as an example, Yang Mucheng invested 30 million in "Sunny Day", but lost more than 10 million. And in "Let the Bullets Fly", Lao Jiang was embarrassed not to let him continue to invest because he had made his family lose money before, but what was the result?

With an investment of 50 million yuan in exchange for a return of 600 million, Yang Mucheng made a lot of money.

Therefore, whether it is actors or funds, it is a small problem for directors who have really become famous.

The real problem lies in the script.

is like Jiang Wen now, he wants to film, there is a future film and television, there is Zhao Fusheng, even if it is an investment of 100 million, Zhao Fusheng will also come out. Coupled with his own network, whether it is the mainland, Hong Kong or Taiwan, it is effortless to invite any star, and even the big names in Europe and the United States are not impossible.

But Jiang Wen still didn't dare to shoot it easily.

The reason is simple, because of the script.

A good script means a lot to a movie. It is not an exaggeration to say that as long as there is a good script, in the case of a small difference in salary, the top actors will definitely choose a better script to star, not everyone is like Liang Yingdi and Gu Zai, who will accept any film, and they don't care about word of mouth at all.

Of course, Gu Tsai is to make money and do charity, after all, he is really doing things with his heart. And Liang Yingdi, well, it is also very expensive for people to go to London every year to feed the pigeons and take a plane.

Far from it.

All in all, now Zhao Fusheng suddenly has full confidence in this movie, he believes that as long as Jiang Wen polishes the script well, he will have to invest more money and invite some top stars, maybe this drama will really become a hit.

"Since you're so confident, that's it. Zhao Fusheng said to Jiang Wen seriously: "You don't have to worry about funds, we can cooperate with Huayi, and other companies in the circle, I think as long as you can impress China Film, it shouldn't be a big problem." ”

This is an inevitable result, not to mention Jiang Wen's personal appeal, just the appeal of film and television itself in the future can attract many investors.

Jiang Wen nodded: "I know this, I'm just thinking about it, the main actor of this play." ”

Zhao Fusheng laughed: "I don't have to worry about this, you can figure it out yourself, I can guarantee that no matter how much you pay others, the company will definitely not object." ”

As an investor, this is the only thing he can do as a boss.

Then, Zhao Fusheng glanced at Jiang Wen: "But let's talk about it first, in this drama, if you overspend too much, don't blame me for deducting your dividends." ”

it!

Lao Jiang felt that his whole person was not good, what did Zhao Fusheng mean by this guy, deducting dividends?

When Zhao Fusheng saw Jiang Wen's expression, he knew that this guy must be unhappy, and he didn't go around in circles, and said directly: "No way, you guy has always liked to overspend on filming, and I can't control you anyway, so for the excess part, I will give you a maximum of five million quota, and I will deduct the excess part from your director's share." ”

Jiang Wen was speechless for a moment, when he met a guy like Zhao Fusheng, he really didn't have any good way, and people blocked all his roads.

"Count you ruthless!" In the end, Jiang Wen could only glare at Zhao Fusheng viciously.

But it's a pity that Jiang Wen's threat has no effect on Zhao Fusheng at all, he doesn't pay attention to Jiang Wen at all, and gnaws on Jiang Wen's fruit by himself.

........................

........................

sat at Lao Jiang's house for a while, seeing that the time was almost up, Zhao Fusheng took Jiang Wen's car and took Fan Beibei to eat.

"By the way, why did Zheng Xiaolong remember to save this game?" Sitting in the car, Zhao Fusheng asked Jiang Wen a little strangely.

Jiang Wen smiled: "This is normal, we get together every once in a while, but you haven't participated much before." ”

After all, the Beijing circle is actually relatively unfamiliar to Zhao Fusheng.

In other words, there are only a few people he is familiar with, and the others can only be regarded as nodding acquaintances at best.

This is probably Zhao Fusheng's personality problem, if this guy has always been pleasing to the eye, just talk a few more words, if it is not pleasing to the eye, he has always ignored others.

In addition, in recent years, his identity and status have become more and more different, and those people in the Beijing circle naturally dare not make friends with him.

It is said that the drama is ruthless and the bitch is meaningless, these artists actually know in their hearts that they may be glamorous stars in the eyes of the outside world, but in the eyes of the real rich, what a star is, a star is just a valuable commodity.

What is a commodity?

The price is clearly marked, you can sell it at any time, that's all.

said that they are not the same, for most people in the Beijing circle, they can socialize with a Zhao Fusheng who is worth more than 10 million or even more than 100 million, because they also hope to earn that money.

But the problem is that when Zhao Fusheng is worth more than one billion, these people will be clear that Zhao Fusheng and them are not people of the same world at all.

At this time, Jiang Wen said it, Zhao Fusheng thought about it for a while, and then understood what was going on.

"What's the matter, you only know now?" Looking at Zhao Fusheng's appearance, Jiang Wen knew that this guy should have just reacted, why for so many years, in the Beijing circle, except for Ye Jing and Yu Feihong, only he had a good relationship with him.

Zhao Fusheng smiled and shrugged: "It doesn't matter, I didn't plan to be friends with them." ”

This is what he said in his heart, for those people in the Beijing circle, Zhao Fusheng looked down on him from the bottom of his heart.
