Zhou Xingxing is a very complicated person, and when it comes to movies, he is a genius. And when talking about business, he is shrewd and a little annoying.

But it is undeniable that Zhou Xingxing is an excellent actor, director and even producer.

Therefore, his cognition of this script is clearer than anyone else.

Lin Darong and his subordinates choose scripts from a professional point of view, but Zhou Xingxing relies on his talent for movies and his grasp of the audience's psychology.

What's more, Zhou Xingxing himself has always had a kung fu dream.

"You ...... this script"

Looking at Zhao Fusheng, Zhou Xingxing didn't say anything for a long time.

Zhao Fusheng smiled: "It's tailor-made for you." ”

People have already read the book, and there is no need for him to hide it, so he will naturally tell the truth.

Zhou Xingxing nodded, he could naturally see that the whole play, including the lines and characters, was in line with his own style, and even some details, Zhao Fusheng did a good job.

Good!

This is Zhou Xingxing's only evaluation of this script at this moment, and he knows that he can't miss this play.

Raising his head and looking at Zhao Fusheng, Zhou Xingxing showed a sincere smile on his face, and said seriously: "To be honest, it's the first time I've encountered it, so it fits my heart." ”

"Really?" Zhao Fusheng laughed, he knew that he was already halfway there.

In fact, he knew very well that as long as Zhou Xingxing read the script, it was impossible for him to refuse himself.

As a good actor and director, as long as Zhou Xingxing is not crazy, he can see that this drama is destined to explode at the box office, in this case, he rejects Zhao Fusheng's words, unless his brain is in water.

"yes, to be honest, I like this script very much, and it's been a long time since I've come across such a suitable book. Zhou Xingxing nodded, not hiding his love for this script at all.

Zhao Fusheng laughed, for him, this is undoubtedly good news, after all, since Zhou Xingxing likes it, then everyone can continue to talk.

"In this book, the director must be you, the starring actor must also be you, you can choose the actor, and the length of shooting time is also up to you. Zhao Fusheng said lightly, looked at Zhou Xingxing and said.

Zhou Xingxing was stunned for a moment, and then laughed: "With such good conditions, there must be other requirements, right?"

He is not stupid, people come to the door in person, if it is just to send such a script, it seems that there is no need for that at all.

In other words, Zhao Fusheng must have some conditions that ordinary people dare not agree to.

"That's nature. Zhao Fusheng didn't go around in circles, originally this should have been something that Bai Jie and Lin Darong would say when they were negotiating, but even he didn't expect that Zhou Xingxing would give Zhang Guorong face like this and wait for him personally, so he simply brought it up directly.

"What conditions?" Zhou Xingxing asked Zhao Fusheng.

"It's simple, I want to be high at the box office. Zhao Fusheng said calmly.

"Box office?" Zhou Xingxing frowned, it was obvious that Zhao Fusheng's words made him seem to understand whether he understood or not, and he didn't understand it a little.

"You're the director, and you're the star. So I'm not going to pay you a penny, but you can convert your own remuneration into a percentage of your investment. Zhao Fusheng said lightly.

The budget of the movie is not low, and Zhao Fusheng gave a full investment of 10 million US dollars, which is basically most of the funds that can be used by film and television in the future.

"I took a look, the investment budget is 10 million US dollars?" Zhou Xingxing nodded and asked.

"Yes. Zhao Fusheng nodded: "If you don't think it's enough, you can increase it." ”

Although Zhou Xingxing is not the kind of person who wastes investment, Zhao Fusheng also knows that if he wants to make a blockbuster, he is definitely not willing to spend money.

Even if it is an ordinary movie in later generations, the investment will be hundreds of millions at every turn, and the things that are filmed, hehe, Zhao Fusheng is too lazy to watch it.

In comparison, Zhao Fusheng still likes Zhou Xingxing's style.

At the very least, he is serious about filming.

Of course, it doesn't mean that Zhao Fusheng will tolerate him spending money casually, after all, it's all his own money, and Zhao Fusheng will not allow it to happen anyway.

"How much do you expect from the box office?" Zhou Xingxing did not ask how much box office he could occupy, but focused on how much Zhao Fusheng expected the box office.

His principle has always been how much ability he has and how much he eats.

If Zhao Fusheng's request exceeds his ability, Zhou Xingxing will not agree to this script, no matter how much he likes it.

"On the Hong Kong Island, it is not less than 50 million, and on the mainland, it is not less than 100 million. Zhao Fusheng calmly said something that made Zhou Xingxing almost jump.

"You're not kidding, are you?" Zhou Xingxing looked at Zhao Fusheng dumbfounded, he felt that if this person hadn't been introduced by Leslie Cheung, and hadn't had the results of "Infernal Affairs" placed there before, he might have encountered an idiot.

The idiot line is a word on Hong Kong Island, which means crazy and mentally ill.

In Zhou Xingxing's opinion, Zhao Fusheng's performance now is no different from that of a madman.

50 million Hong Kong dollars plus a mainland box office of more than 100 million, in other words, Zhao Fusheng's expectations for the global box office of this drama are at least more than 50 million US dollars.

Although he was very conceited, Zhou Xingxing felt that he was not crazy enough to tell the difference between reality and dreams.

"What's the matter, Brother Xing, you don't have confidence in yourself?" Zhao Fusheng smiled: "Or, do you think this script is not good enough?"

The time and content are all in line with history, Zhao Fusheng doesn't believe that with Zhou Xingxing's box office appeal, this drama will be much worse than in history.

Zhou Xingxing smiled bitterly, it was the first time that he was a little worried because people were confident in him.

In fact, the conversation has reached this point, and both of them know very well that cooperation is inevitable, but the problem lies in the specific details.

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

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

On the issue of salary, Zhao Fusheng didn't talk much about Zhou Xingxing, on the one hand, he is not a professional, and he doesn't know how to price Zhou Xingxing, on the other hand, since it involves box office sharing, this salary is very researched.

In fact, it is common for top stars or directors to use their remuneration as a proportion of investment in the filming process. This is also one of the means to reduce the upfront investment.

To put it bluntly, this is the issue of the distribution of benefits.

If you want the horses to run, how can you not let the horses eat grass, you have to let the family do their best to film for themselves, and it is not possible to do it without taking out the benefits of real money.

Why did a director surnamed Wu not make the "True Colors of Heroes" series of movies, but he wanted to bravely enter Hollywood.

Talking about ideals is nonsense at all, to put it bluntly, it's not because although the movie "The True Color of Heroes" was successful, as a director, he didn't make much money at all, and even when he was filming the second part, this guy didn't even get a red envelope.

claims to be inconsistent with the concept of the movie, but in fact, in the final analysis, it is because a certain producer surnamed Xu is too picky.

When you make a movie, if you offer people a high salary, people will think that you are wronged, but if you convert it to the box office share, the other party will feel that you are very confident in this drama, and the meaning is naturally different.

Of course, this is also a way to reduce financial pressure and share risks.

After all, actors have become acting for their own money bags, and they are not in the same mood as being hired to perform.

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

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

Soon, the two ended the conversation, and Zhou Xingxing personally hosted a banquet to entertain Zhao Fusheng and others.

This behavior flattered Bai Jie and others, and even Zhao Fusheng was quite surprised.

Of course, he was surprised because Zhao Fusheng knew that Zhou Xingxing was not the kind of person who would invite guests to dinner when he was idle, even if he did the friendship of the landlord in the face of Zhang Guorong, the other party seemed to be able to invite himself alone, why did he take Bai Jie and others with him?

No way, after leaving the movie and returning to real life, Zhou Xingxing is not the king of comedy, he is a complete businessman.

Zhao Fusheng remembers that he read a report that Zhou Xingxing has a great investment vision.

Just this year, Zhou Xingxing will buy a residential property in Taiping Shan District for HK$320 million, which covers an area of more than 4,000 square meters and has been converted into four three-storey independent buildings.

Then, three of these four buildings were sold by him for 350 million, 300 million and 800 million respectively, and the remaining one was kept by him for his own use.

Such an investment method, even Zhao Fusheng himself, sighed to himself.

It is precisely because of this memory that Zhao Fusheng has always adhered to the awareness of precautions for Zhou Xingxing.

It's not that he doesn't trust the other party, it's because this person is too shrewd, and he has turned his life into a business.

It is true that this is an attitude to life, but Zhao Fusheng does not dare to agree with it no matter what.

In his opinion, if you are like Zhou Xingxing in the end, old friends for many years turn against each other, and even his former girlfriend is in court, and he can only laugh unscrupulously in movies, it will be really tiring.

The dinner was naturally enjoyable for the guests and hosts, and when everyone dispersed and returned to the hotel, Bai Jie simply came directly to Zhao Fusheng's room.

"Something?"

Zhao Fusheng was a little surprised, because it was not only herself who followed Bai Jie, but also her assistant.

Sending the assistant to the door, Bai Jie said to Zhao Fusheng: "The people over there in Xinghui have been probing the tone of the people on our side. ”

"Huh?" Zhao Fusheng's eyebrows raised, and then he smiled: "What's the matter, what do you mean over there?" ”

"I should want to know about our situation, and by the way, ask why we found Xinghui to cooperate. Bai Jie said to Zhao Fusheng.

Zhao Fusheng nodded with satisfaction, no wonder Zhou Xingxing wanted to set up a banquet in person, and it took a long time, this meal, to put it bluntly, is to explore the reality of future film and television.

It's in line with his style.

"Let him go. Zhao Fusheng thought for a while and said with a smile: "The dish is already on the table, how can he be willing to get off the table when he tastes it." ”

Bai Jie was stunned, then laughed as well, and looked at Zhao Fusheng's gaze, full of admiration.
