"Okay, now that our notarization has been done, 20 days later, that is, on the 22nd, Wei from Huaxia must come up with a horror-themed movie, which will be released on the same day as Baldwin's horror movie "Ghost Baby". ”

"After a month and a half of the release period, according to the Rotten Tomatoes rating index, disc sales, and the box office of the movie, as the betting indicators, as long as one of the two sides wins two indicators, it is a victory. ”

"If Wei wins for Huaxia, Baldwin must post 'Huaxia is a father' on Faebk as required, and if Baldwin wins, Wei will pay him $10 million. ”

On the banquet floor of the Heaton Hotel, the notary lawyer invited by Wei Xun read the prepared documents, then looked at Wei Xun and Baldwin and asked, "Both, is there anything else you need to add?"

Wei Xun replied, "I don't have anything to add. ”

Baldwin sneered and didn't speak.

The notary lawyer said, "Okay, in that case, then ask both parties to sign the notarial deed." ”

So, under the gaze of everyone, Wei Xun and Baldwin respectively picked up the pen and signed, and this notarial certificate worth '10 million US dollars' or '1.3 billion Dad' was considered valid.

"You can start getting your money ready. ”

Baldwin looked at Wei Xun and sneered, "When the time comes, I want cash, dollars, not your Huaxia coins." ”

Wei Xun shook his head, didn't even bother to give him a look, waved his hand at the people around him, and then said, "Let's go, go back to make a movie." ”

Bao Qiang and Kang Cheng looked at each other, but they had to quickly keep up with Wei Xun's pace.

In the Heaton Hotel, a group of people were talking about Wei Xun's words.

"Is he really going back to making movies now?"

"It's crazy, a $10 million bet is like a kid's house. ”

"Anyway, after today, I think many people will remember this Chinese man named Wei because of his incredible ghost bet. ”

Indeed, not long after Wei Xun and his family left the Heaton Hotel, a shocking news spread in Hollywood filmmaker circles.

It is said that a young director from China made a $10 million bet to make a movie in 20 days to make a bet with Baldwin's new film "Ghost Baby".

$10 million is not a small amount, and the salary of a Hollywood A-list star for starring in a movie may not be so much.

So this bet immediately went viral in the filmmaker circle.

Everyone is envious of Baldwin, who can easily make 10 million dollars when he can meet a Chinese director who is stupid and has a lot of money.

And at this moment, this person is stupid and rich Huaxia director Wei, who is questioning the other four Huaxia directors in the hotel.

"Director Wei, how can you come up with a movie in 20 days? Baldwin's "Ghost Baby" is invested by Golden Lion, and he has a global release channel. ”

"It's not a country, no one will know you, and your film has to be in English. ”

"The Film Bureau asked us to come here to exchange and learn, and now this is what is going on. ”

Facing the three sad faces of Bao Qiang, Lin Fan and Xiao Xiaoyang, Wei Xun did not say anything, but took out a blank piece of paper and wrote and drew on the desktop.

He was thinking about what film to make.

In fact, in the film category, low-budget comedies and horror films are very easy to shoot.

Filming a movie in twenty days sounds exaggerated, but Wei Xun has enough to come up with several horror movies in his head, which can meet the current requirements.

But the key is, which one to choose?

Smart: Ghost Record.

Wei Xun wrote the name on a blank piece of paper, shook his head after a moment, and made a big × on it.

This DV movie, the shooting cycle is only a short ten days, and the cost is only more than 10,000 US dollars, but after its release, it has frantically harvested more than 100 million US dollars at the horror box office around the world, which can be called the well-deserved first dark horse in the counterattack of small-budget films.

But unfortunately, although it is very profitable, its rating is not high, and its reputation has always been criticized.

Since you want to make a film in Hollywood, making money is actually secondary, and beating the reputation of Chinese people is the king.

So Wei Xun thought for a moment, his eyes lit up, and he wrote another name.

Chainsaw horror.

The famous work of the great director Wen Ziren, with a cost of 000,000 US dollars and a shooting cycle of days, has collected more than 100 million US dollars at the box office worldwide after its release, and what is even more admirable is that this film is very popular all over the world, and the score is surprisingly high.

It is precisely for this reason that Saw Horror has followed up one after another, from the first to the eighth, and has frantically harvested more than $0 billion at the box office worldwide, becoming the most profitable horror movie series in the world.

The shooting cycle of days is indeed a bit tight for the 20-day bet time.

But don't forget, in addition to Wei Xun, there are four excellent young directors here.

Five people working together, can't they make a low-cost, simple-shooting, and low-tech low-budget horror film "Chainsaw"?

In the room, Wei Xun has been writing in silence.

Bao Qiang, Lin Fan, and Xiao Xiaoyang were in a hurry, but Wei Xun didn't reply a word, and he didn't even raise his head.

"Alright, you three shut up. At this time, Kang Cheng, who had been silent while sitting on the bed, suddenly said, "Don't disturb his train of thought. ”

The three of them all looked at Kang Cheng in surprise when they heard this.

Because they came back all the way, Bao Qiang and the three of them were worried, but Kang Cheng was silent.

"The notarization letter has been signed, the gambling contract has come into effect, what's the use of saying this now, doesn't he know the current situation better than you?"

Kang Cheng said with a cold face: "Stay quiet, wait for him to figure out a way." ”

Of the four directors in this room, only Kang Cheng and Wei Xun have ever been opponents.

So although Kang Cheng is skeptical that Wei Xun will shoot a movie in 20 days and then release it worldwide, he will not believe that Wei Xun is a fool who is willing to give 10 million US dollars to Baldwin for nothing.

Moreover, Kang Cheng felt the anger in Wei Xun's heart.

After being driven out by the storm, even Kang Cheng himself felt aggrieved, not to mention Wei Xun, who led the team?

Hearing Kang Cheng's words, Bao Qiang and the three of them fell silent.

Wei Xun, who had been thinking, stopped his pen, looked up at Kang Cheng, and said with a smile: "You have confidence in me. ”

Kang Cheng said with a stiff face: "I just don't want to lose face with you." ”

"Okay, don't worry, we won't be ashamed. ”

"The movie has already been chosen, the script is very simple, there are not a few lines, so I can do a rough storyboard in the evening. Then Kang Cheng and I will direct the filming together, Lin Fan and Xiao Xiaoyang, you two, go to the shooting location first. ”

At this time, Wei Xun stood up from his position and said with a smile: "Everyone should be able to pass the English test, in this way, the male number one is played by Kang Cheng, I think you should be quite photogenic." For the rest of the roles, Bao Qiang is responsible for going to the actors' union to select people, don't be too picky, just choose a few people with passable acting skills. ”

After Wei Xun said this, the four directors present were a little speechless.

Kang Cheng almost thought that he had misheard, he pointed at himself and said in shock: "What are you kidding, I'm going to play the leading actor?"

"In fact, a good director can also be a good actor in his own right. ”

Wei Xun said with a smile: "In the movies made by our Chinese people, of course, the Chinese people themselves must be the leading actors, otherwise what is the point of this bet?"

Kang Cheng frowned when he heard this and said, "Actually, I also want to ask you this question. The Film Bureau asked us to come out this time because we wanted us to use cutting-edge industrial technology to develop Chinese industrial films when we made movies in the future, but you and Baldwin used horror movies as a bet, what do you think is the point of this?"

Bao Qiang, Lin Fan, and Xiao Xiaoyang all looked at Wei Xun.

It seems that everyone actually expressed their incomprehension of Wei Xun's sudden desire to compare horror movies with Baldwin.

"The production of a special effects film, to say the least, has to start in a year or two, the shooting cycle is too long, and now in Huaxia, there will be no capital party willing to spend money to play special effects. No one believes that our movies can go abroad, and everyone doesn't believe that our special effects are comparable to Hollywood. This includes not only domestic filmmakers, investors, but also the four of you. ”

Wei Xun smiled and said, "I dare say, none of you believe that I can win now, right?"

Kang Cheng and the others did not speak.

"You see, that's what my bet is about. ”

"I'm going to use 20 days to defeat Baldwin, and I'm going to take you with me to let the whole of Hollywood know that there are five young Chinese directors who have come to Hollywood, and they can do miracles and win beautiful. ”

"I want to tell you that we can win, Chinese people can win in the land of Hollywood, this time I will take you to win, next time, each of you will win here, and then, more Chinese filmmakers will win here. ”

Wei Xun handed a piece of paper in his hand to Kang Cheng, smiling brightly: "So the meaning of this bet is that I want to give you faith and courage." ”

After hearing these words, the four young directors in the room looked at Wei Xun with a confident and flamboyant expression, stunned.

In their hearts, there is a flame burning.

"I finally know why you can make a career in Huaxia and so many people like you. Just say this to you, this movie, I'll follow you!"

Kang Cheng took a deep breath, his eyes were undisguised with excitement, and he took the white paper handed over by Wei Xun, with four words written on it.

Chainsaw horror.
