Chapter Ninety-Seven: Innocence
Wu Ruofu is a good person!
According to the archives, he didn't want to pay the ransom at first, but at that time, another person was kidnapped, and if he couldn't pay the ransom, he was about to be torn up, and he couldn't stand it, so Wu Ruofu decided to use all his 2 million savings to save two lives...
It's a pity that it's useless...
Wang Lihua is not a rule-abiding person, they were not prepared to let him live from the beginning!
"They kidnapped without masks, and people just rushed to kill them!" When we wrote the script, Mr. Wu also participated, and he said it himself, and the robbers said, 'Mr. Wu, you admit that you are unlucky, life, we will definitely not be able to keep it, even if we take the money...'"
"And how are you going to shoot it?"
"Try to get back to the facts... This thing itself is very suspenseful, and there is no need to exaggerate it!"
Before Jiang Wen could speak, Lu Xiaoran suddenly remembered something: "Do you know where Huazi's first gun came from?"
ββ¦ Where did it come from?"
"He watched "Looking for a Gun", and then went to Guizhou to buy three imitation 64 pistols and 30 rounds of ammunition!"
This is true, Wang Lihua explained it himself...
Jiang Wen was a little speechless, the criminals watched their movies and then went to Guizhou to buy guns, where is the source of this matter?
On him?
"Teacher Jiang Wen, just give it a chance, the role of Huazi will be played by others, can you rest assured?"
ββ¦ Mr. Wu, are you looking for Andy Lau?"
"Yes, he wants to cooperate with you too..."
Jiang Wen was a little embarrassed: "I still have my own movies to be busy here..."
ββ¦ When is your movie going to be made?"
"Let's end the year!"
"There is absolutely enough time, I am ready to start shooting in June and finish in August!"
"So fast?"
ββ¦ The subject matter is here, there is no need to shoot so many waste shots, and the actors I chose are all powerful. β
"Andy Lau is also considered a powerful faction?"
ββ¦ Let him play himself this time, it should be no problem!"
Is Lao Liu considered a powerful faction?
This man sees the benevolent and the wise sees the wise, but he has a lot of respect for the director!
"Look at what you wrote in this script, Mr. Wu and Xiao Dou leaned together, and Mr. Wu said, 'Brother, I'll sing you a song!'... It's too fake, they're all stepping on horses to death, and they're still singing?"
Lu Xiaoran pouted: "... This is Mr. Wu Ruofu's personal experience, and we also asked Du Qingjiang, who was tied to him at the time, and he also said that Wu Ruofu did sing him a song at that time..."
ββ¦ Eighty percent of this script is written based on Mr. Wu Ruofu's personal experience, and many unreasonable situations can be explained..."
"You're not making a documentary!"
"That must also be realistic, otherwise, I will directly make a shootout blockbuster, and the audience may be more acceptable!"
"Okay, I'll think about it..."
Lu Xiaoran got up and prepared to leave, and said before leaving: "... Teacher Jiang Wen, you are always the first choice. β
Jiang Wen glanced at him, nodded, and signaled that he knew.
This sentence translates as: you are the first choice, but not the only choice...
β¦β¦
Lu Xiaoran came to Pony Company, and Zhong Lifang gave him a pile of information:
ββ¦ Jiang Wen, an all-rounder in the film and television industry, has an artistic acumen and creativity that is difficult for other mainland directors to match, even in Asia.
The personality is extremely multifaceted, and he has a classical romantic feeling for the movie, any movie theme he is familiar with, as long as he participates, he can't be controlled by the director, if you want him to be the starring role, it is recommended to use only two methods:
One: Give him all the power, let him play freely, let the movie become his work, Jiang Wen will never ask for more money or reputation returns, the danger of this method is that Jiang Wen's film art concept is much higher than that of ordinary audiences, and even most filmmakers, which is likely to lead to a disconnection with the market and a poor box office situation.
Two: Never let Jiang Wen be familiar with the subject matter, use various methods to confuse his role, and let him follow the pace of the director, so that it is easy to limit him to a reasonable range, and the flaw is to limit his performance in the movie..."
ββ¦ Where did all this come from?"
"There are a lot of capable people in the circle, how about getting them from them?"
ββ¦ I feel like you're making a bit of a fuss, no matter how good he is, he is also an actor when he comes to the crew, and I am the director!"
Lu Xiaoran at this moment is naΓ―ve, not like a 25-year-old man at all...
He really thinks so.
It is also related to the fact that the filmmakers he met are all relatively pure people, you are like Ning Hao, Huang Bo, Xu Zheng, they make movies are movies, and the guys who don't want to die in movies, except for filming and tossing, there are basically no bullshit things.
In a word: I haven't been beaten by society yet!
I don't know that for the entire film industry, they are an outlier...
"Hehe..."
Zhong Lifang didn't give any face, and directly sneered at her, and got rid of the prophet...
"What did the big dog brother say?"
ββ¦ He has already been in contact with China Film, Emperor, and Media Asia, and Bona may also want to be added!"
"So many companies?"
"What do you think? This is not a small investment," Glancing at Lu Xiaoran, Zhong Lifang asked: "With such a theme, are you sure you want to make a big production of 60 million?"
"Try it, it's rare to have the opportunity to direct Jiang Wen + Andy Lau, I don't want to miss it!"
"What about publicity? Pulling them to run a road show? Can you stand it, can they be willing?"
This is just like Xiao Luzi is happy to go to fifteen cities across the country in twenty days, and only sleep three or four hours a day...
He's tired too, okay!
However, in terms of publicity, Lu Xiaoran has something to say: "Don't worry, the publicity side has formulated a complete plan, from the establishment of the film project to the painting of the movie, to ensure that the news is released uninterrupted..."
"How much are you going to spend?"
ββ¦ In the early stage, it was mainly based on online publicity, and more water armies were invited to market virally..."
Zhong Lifang said disdainfully: "Viral marketing? Please water army, how can movie promotion be so easy to do?"
"We have two publicity points, one is the adaptation of real events, and the other is Andy Lau + Jiang Wen, the appeal of these two people is here!"
Zhong Lifang instantly understood: "So, the news of Whoosh Fox, Fuji Xun, and NetEase was released on your own initiative?"
ββ¦ This is not my handiwork, it should be Zhang Jin's idea!"
"Zhang Jin?"
"Our company is responsible for publicity, he used to advertise, haven't you heard of it?"
Then, he talked about Zhang Jin's publicity plan, probably to ensure that before the official release of "Rescue Mr. Wu", the kidnapping case of Wu Ruofu must be sprinkled all over the Internet, at least let Andy Lau's fans and Jiang Wen's fans know about it.
Up to a year, uninterrupted!
Specifically, release the news first, hang your appetite, for example, officially filming, intercepting and taking away Andy Lau's short video and posting it on the Internet, taking the lead in spreading rumors: Andy Lau was arrested by the police...
Bear with me for a day and clarify...
Also, intercept the scene of Andy Lau being slapped by Jiang Wen and post it on the Internet, focusing on marketing how dedicated Andy Lau is...
Jiang Wen...
To be honest, "The Devil is Coming" was banned, and then the whole person was a little sluggish, there was very little news, except for those who particularly cared about him, few people really cared about his news...
The focus of the entire publicity revolves around Andy Lau - he is the biggest card of the crew!
After listening to the whole set of plans, Zhong Lifang smacked her tongue, and then asked: "How much publicity money does it cost?"
ββ¦ The preliminary estimate is more than 20 million!"
"You're really a bit presumptuous right now..."
