Chapter 68: Box Office Dark Horse

He amplified his voice so loudly that he was afraid that no one else would hear it.

"Mr. Niu, the results we give are absolutely fair and just, I hope you don't speculate. The man retorted.

"Fair?heh, it's just that kind of thing like a running account, and it deserves ten votes to pass?I've been in this circle for so many years, and you treat me as a novice?" Niu Wu said disdainfully.

"Cow ......"

Zhang Guang really couldn't stand it, and wanted to open his mouth to let Niu Wu show respect, but Chen Wei stretched out his hand to interrupt: "The surname is Niu, if you are really unconvinced, how about we make a bet?"

"Bet, bet on what?" Niu Wu asked.

"What else can you bet on when making a movie, of course, it's betting on the box office. Chen Wei looked at that guy like a fool, and didn't understand why he asked such a mentally retarded question.

"You have a backstage, I don't, who knows if you're going to play tricks in the dark. Niu Wu said distrustfully.

"Absolutely fair, just, I have enough confidence in my work, there is no need to use those indiscriminate means, or do you not believe that you can win?" Chen Wei deliberately provoked.

"Heh, just because of my popularity in the circle, will I lose? The agitation method had a significant effect, and Niu Wu nodded and agreed to make this bet.

As for the chips?

If Chen Wei loses, he has to kowtow to apologize to Niu Wu, Chen Wei wins, and Niu Wu has since withdrawn from the circle.

Both films are small-budget productions, and with Tian Chen's open-style shooting team, as long as the actors are found, it will take no more than a week from start-up to completion.

Coupled with production, and publicity, it can be quickly released in major theaters in half a month.

Since it was Chen Wei who made the decision, Zhang Guang naturally agreed with it 100%.

He took the script about "Mr. Zombie" written by Chen Wei from the staff, and his eyes suddenly lit up, and his attention was deeply grasped by the storyline, and he couldn't take his eyes off it.

Zhang Guang wanted to persuade Niu Wu to give up, but he knew that this guy was stubborn, so he simply kept his mouth shut.

As for why Niu Wu thinks that the script is rubbish, or even worthless.

In addition to solidifying his thoughts and not being able to accept new things, Zhang Guang couldn't think of any other reasons.

The matter of finding actors is handed over to Zhang Guang and they are responsible.

During this period, Chen Wei was busy arranging the scene with the props team, as well as designing peachwood swords, copper coins, ink fountains and other gadgets.

Everyone enjoyed it and found it very interesting.

In terms of actors, after layers of screening, Zhang Guang and the others really found a suitable candidate.

Originally, Chen Wei wanted to play the role of Uncle Nine in person, but his age and temperament really didn't match, so he had to decide on the role of Qiusheng.

In the past few days, Chen Wei has basically been Zhiyuan, and Tian Chen has been running at both ends, and he is very busy.

"Mr. Zombie" is a new theme after all, and there are many things that the film crew doesn't understand, so they need to consult Chen Wei.

Time passed day by day, and the filming process was fast.

"Su Tianyue's temperament is really good, but those four people look too terrifying and gloomy. ”

"I think it's a sedan chair that's much cooler than a sports car. ”

"I remember that Su Qianyue's character seems to be called Dong Xiaoyu, right?"

……

This scene is a night play.

Four white-faced people wore watermelon hats on their heads and carried a sedan chair and walked out of the misty forest, while Dong Xiaoyu, played by Su Tianyue, sat in a sedan chair and was about to meet Qiusheng.

Chen Wei was a little surprised, in the whole process, Su Tianyue did not communicate with himself except for the lines.

He was originally worried that Su Tianyue would take the Su family's affairs again and talk in his ear.

The corpse of the old man is transformed.

Autumn fighting zombies.

Literary talent......

Finally, the plot is here.

The emotional scene between Qiusheng and Dong Xiaoyu.

To be honest, Chen Wei regretted a little, why did he have a hot brain and add that kiss scene to it.

But it's come to this point, so many cameras are staring, there is no choice but to act on the spot!

Time advances little by little, and the plot begins to come to an end.

Fighting the old lady Ren Weiyong.

As for the actor, because he needs kung fu foundation, Chen Wei directly asked Zhao Sanqian to serve as the actor.

Anyway, if you wear a thick suit, you don't need to look at your face.

Qiusheng picked up the wooden stick on the ground, hit Ren Weiyong on the stomach with a stick, and untied the chandelier hemp rope at the same time.

Bang!

The chandelier fell in response, the lamp oil splashed Ren Weiyong, the raging fire ignited instantly, the wailing continued, and he was burned alive!

"Oh yes, what about my customers? Oh oops, it's over. ”

The movie ends when the four-eyed Taoist looks distressed as his corpse is burned by the fire.

Seeing Chen Wei coming out of the studio, Niu Wu leaned in and said, "It's not finished yet? On my side, the box office has already broken 70 million." ”

Of course, Chen Wei knew that Niu Wu was here to show off.

Before he could respond, he saw him and said in a weird manner: "I suggest you, just kowtow to me now and apologize, anyway, there is no one else, so you can save time for embarrassment." ”

Chen Wei sneered, I really don't know where this guy's confidence comes from.

"Three days after its release, it only had a box office of 70 million, is this something to be proud of?" Chen Wei was puzzled.

"Heh, don't say 70 million, it's good that you can get 700 yuan for your broken script!" Niu Wu originally wanted to be angry with Chen Wei, but who would have thought that when he left, he was holding his stomach.

The next day, Mr. Zombie finished the production and began to be released in major theaters through Tianchen's channels.

Two o'clock, no ticket!

3:40, no tickets!

Five twenty, still no tickets!

Niu Wu sat in the office, checking the major ticketing software, and all the tickets for Mr. Zombie for the whole day were sold out!

Take another look at your own movie.

Two o'clock, one ticket unsold......

3:40, not a single ticket sold......

At 5:20, there is still not a single ticket sold......

All day today, not a single ticket for Niu Wu's movie was sold.

Bang!

"It's greasy, there must be a greasy here, they are working together to cheat! It's so shameless!" Niu Wu's face turned pale, and he angrily smashed his phone directly against the wall.

Jingle bells!

Just then, the landline rang.

"Hey, who's that?"

"Old Niu, why is the anger so big, who provoked you again?"

"What's the matter with you, if you have anything to say, hurry up, I'm busy!"

"I'm afraid you don't know yet, there is a big dark horse in our circle, the young man is less than twenty years old, the movie has been released for ten minutes, the tickets for the whole day have been sold out, and the movie theater is full of Mr. Zombie. ”

"You know that kid, it's ...... that day"

"So, why are you calling?" Niu Wu interrupted angrily.

"Uh...... Isn't this Mr. Zombie's big hit, I think this is a good opportunity to seize the market, I want to collaborate with you on a movie with this theme, are you interested?"

"Get out! Lao Tzu has closed the pen!" hung up the phone heavily.
