Jiang Wen that guy's complaints, Zhao Fusheng can actually understand a little.

When I went to visit the class before, the two of them had some exchanges, about the script of "The Devil is Coming", Zhao Fusheng personally watched Jiang Wen make a lot of remarks and revisions when he wrote the script.

With such an experience, he can understand what creation is all about.

Real creation, whether it's music or literature, is actually a long and boring process.

A flash of inspiration may be able to have a good idea and give people instant motivation, but if you want a work to go from a blank to a finished product, you need to keep pondering.

It's like an ice sculpture, from a large ice block at the beginning to a beautiful scenery, what needs to be accumulated bit by bit.

"Tell me about them, didn't they just spend a little more money, as for the unforgiving?" Jiang Wen was still chattering like a child.

Zhao Fusheng chuckled: "I said, you also have to understand people, movies are commercial operations in the final analysis." ”

Jiang Wen was silent, in fact, Zhao Fusheng's words, he also understood, but he was just uncomfortable.

Even, as a person who has been immersed in this circle for a longer time than Zhao Fusheng, Jiang Wen knows very well what the essence of the movie is.

The essence of movies is that they belong to the scope of art under commercial activities, and the nature of entertainment itself determines that most movies are filmed with the original intention of making money.

Unless you're just trying to record something at the beginning of the shoot, what's it to make a film that reflects folk art and because no one is watching it, crying and shouting for pathos marketing?

Consume with the sympathy of the audience?

Even top directors like King of Sunglasses and Hou Lose Money didn't just think about pursuing the film art they wanted when they first made movies, but also didn't want to prove that they could be loved by the public through the take-off of the box office.

If you just want to make a niche literary film, then why do you need to release it, how good it is to keep it for yourself.

To put it bluntly, I am very happy, and I want all the audience to be happy with me.

How do you say that?

Loneliness is the carnival of one person, while carnival is the loneliness of a group of people.

It's just that in the world of the King of Sunglasses, it's obvious that he's the only one partying out, and as for the others, I'm sorry, most of the time everyone can't figure out what he's going to do.

Not everyone is Liang Yingdi, and not everyone is called Maggie Cheung.

"Old Jiang, in my opinion, you really should control it. Seeing that Jiang Wen didn't speak, Zhao Fusheng was not polite, and said directly to Jiang Wen: "Think about it, this drama is going to be sealed nine times out of ten, even if you don't think about the present, don't you think about the future?"

Jiang Wen was stunned for a moment, and then understood what Zhao Fusheng meant, in fact, just like Zhao Fusheng said, both of them know that the drama "The Devil is Coming" is difficult to be released in China nine times out of ten, with the urine of great radio and television, let alone the release, if it is stiff, Jiang Wen feels that he is estimated to follow in the footsteps of many fifth- and sixth-generation directors and become a part of the banned.

"Then the shooting is still a lot of money short, what should I do?" Jiang Wen took a deep breath and said to Zhao Fusheng.

This guy has always been very thoughtful, and he thinks he can listen to Zhao Fusheng's opinion.

Zhao Fusheng smiled: "This is easy to do, how much money do you want for the report you made with Hua Yi before?"

"Ten million. Jiang Wen replied.

Zhao Fusheng gasped, and said in his heart, you guy, you really treat the Wang family brothers as wronged leaders, with an investment of 30 million, to make a movie that is impossible to release in China.

Zhao Fusheng could only say to Jiang Wen that he really didn't understand the brain circuit of the loser.

It's also very interesting to say, the three major directors who lose money in the mainland of Hong Kong Island Bay, the king of sunglasses, Hou loses money and a Jiang Wen, all of them are the kind of people who are happy when filming, as long as they are happy, as for investors and audiences, I'm sorry, you are not within the scope of my consideration.

Especially the king of sunglasses and Hou lost money, which were known as the two big pit kings in the director industry in the 90s.

What kind of prince will Xiangning have?

And now, Jiang Wen seems to be trying to catch up with the two seniors.

"What's the matter, isn't it a little less?" Jiang Wen saw that Zhao Fusheng didn't speak, and asked cautiously after a while.

Zhao Fusheng blinked his eyes and swallowed back the dirty words that came to his mouth, I really wanted to ask Jiang Wen, where did your old man get his confidence.

The thickness of this cheek is comparable to the Chang'an city wall.

"Big brother, it's not less, it's more. Zhao Fusheng explained speechlessly: "You call Mr. Wang now and say that you don't want 10 million, let him give you 5 million, and you can make a movie, I guess he will definitely agree to you." ”

"Really?" Jiang Wen asked suspiciously.

He always felt that Zhao Fusheng's words were a little unlikely, after all, Hua Yi's side had a strong reaction to his request to increase investment, and the vice president in charge of finance was said to have slapped the table with Wang Zhongjun.

Now that Zhao Fusheng wants five million, can anyone give it?

Even if this is a retreat, it is too obvious.

Zhao Fusheng laughed, I have to say that Jiang Wen is a smart person, but it is because he is too smart that there is an effect of blinding Mount Tai.

Now for Hua Yi, his Jiang Wen is a signboard, and it is impossible for Hua Yi to give up Jiang Wen. So in other words, no matter how much money is spent on the filming of "The Devil is Coming", Hua Yi will grit his teeth and agree.

It's just that now the other party is probably considering a profit and loss point, after all, "The Devil is Coming" cannot be released in China, so it can only consider major foreign film festivals, which is the so-called overseas copyright. If the film can sell the overseas rights, it may even be able to recoup the cost.

Of course, the copyright of Chinese films abroad is usually not high, generally one or two million US dollars, plus the messy income, it will not exceed three million US dollars.

When converted into RMB, it is about 25 million.

Therefore, Zhao Fusheng told Jiang Wen to give up the unrealistic 10 million and put forward the demand of 5 million instead.

In Zhao Fusheng's speculation, Hua Yi will definitely agree, after all, Jiang Wen is a good director and a good actor, and he is still very powerful.

The Wang family brothers, who are ambitious and want to develop in the film and television industry, how could they give up Jiang Wen.

It's just that these things are conclusions that Zhao Fusheng got from the position of foresight, and there is no way to tell Jiang Wen.

"Don't think too much about it, just make a phone call. Zhao Fusheng said to Jiang Wen.
