Chapter 329: Shootout
In July, I finally finished at the hottest time, and when I returned to the capital, the whole person was dark.
Before I could catch my breath, I saw Yu Fatzi's face full of cheap smiles!
Looking at the script, he was curious: "Sweep the poison?"
"This year's big production of the company!" Yu Fatzi encouraged: "Liu Tianwang and Gu Tianle have joined, and now I will send you!"
Ding Cheng looked at the script, he seemed to have seen the first part, played by Zha Zhahui, Liu Qingyun and Gu Tianle, and the box office was not bad?
"This absolutely big scene, gunfights, flying cars, hand-to-hand combat, ......"
"You name it!"
Seeing that Ding Cheng was silent, Yu Fatzi smiled mysteriously and said, "Now that you are also the boss, do you want to consider playing once?"
Ding Cheng pouted, he was waiting here?
When encountering such a commercial blockbuster, Liu Tianwang generally invests in shares with remuneration and investment, and Gu Tianle is similar, but he invests very little. ”
"Our brothers have cooperated for so many years, and good things must be indispensable to you, right?"
"Why do you want to be your own boss?"
"Isn't it just to make more money on investment?"
"How?"
Ding Cheng listened to the fat man's chatter, and suddenly asked, "The director is Qiu Litao?"
Yu Fatzi was stunned for a moment, and suddenly remembered the virtue of this kid, and explained: "Absolutely old seniority, I have cooperated with Liu Tianwang as a bomb disposal expert, and I have a good relationship, so I ......"
Ding Cheng waved his hand, the script was okay, after all, it was a series and had a box office foundation. With the addition of Liu Tianwang and Gu Tianle, the basic problem is not big.
Since he invested, he put the villain first and then the gentleman, and asked seriously: "How many shares can I share?"
"It's okay to give my brother a discount on his salary, it's okay to count 18 million?"
Speaking of business, Yu Fatzi also said officially: "It is estimated that the investment is 100 million and 500 million, and the salary accounts for 40%, and the rest is the cost of building a big scene." ”
"Liu Tianwang's remuneration will be added to the shares by another 10 million, Gu Tianle may invest less this time, at most 3 million, you see?"
Ding Cheng thought about it and said casually: "Then I will also invest 10 million to play." ”
"No problem, it's negotiable. Seeing that the business was done, Yu Fatzi stood up and said goodbye: "Go back to get the contract, and have a meal with the director in two days." ”
Send him away, just let Yao Zai follow up on this kind of thing, since the studio is established, it can't let the employees be idle, and it can be regarded as a test of the water.
Calling Liu Tianwang, the other party seemed to have known the result for a long time, and said with a smile: "It's inconvenient for me to come forward for this kind of thing, after all, investment is risky, and Yu Fatzi is the most suitable for this." ”
"There is no shortage of money now, it's not bad to accumulate more experience, the box office of the first part is okay, and there is not much pressure to return to the cost......"
"What's more, your kid's vision has always been very accurate, this time I will vote together, I am more relieved!"
"Hahaha......"
Hanging up the phone, Ding Cheng re-studied the script, and the reason why he was most attracted to himself was actually very simple:
Shootout drag racing!
It's strange to say, after filming so many scenes, none of them can have a good time with a gun?
Wushuang doesn't count,
It's all up to Brother Pony to be cool!
Shootouts have been rotten in foreign countries, but this kind of theme in China is too sensitive, and it is difficult to cut it without cutting it after the trial, Hong Kong Island is okay, and has filmed a series of classics, especially To Qifeng.
Although the plot is not new, it is a gunfight and a flying car, which is quite lively and can be played.
When I saw director Qiu Litao two days later, I got straight to the point and said directly: "I want you to play Jizo!"
Ding Cheng looked at an ugly man with long hair in a shawl, wearing a black T-shirt printed with the Beatles' "Let it be", this guy is still a rock fan?
Don't look like they are unruly, in fact, Liu Tianwang and Yu Fatzi's common evaluation of each other is:
Good to talk,
Don't die!
A prolific director, he has directed more than 80 films, including thrillers, inspirational films, comedies, police films, etc., and is famous in the industry for his "fast and beautiful righteousness".
Basically rarely loses money,
This is also the main reason why many investors are willing to look for him.
In all fairness, I am still a little worried about the director in front of me!
Not to mention the works in the early years, last year's leaker, Douban was only 5.9?
The highest of the others is only 6.8, which is the bomb disposal expert?
Specially found the work to study, the start is good, there are many characters, the rhythm is tight, and several story lines are crossed, and it feels like a huge game of chess.
Wu Zhenyu ...... Charmaine Sheh ...... Zhang Zhilin......
are all acting schools, the rhythm is surprisingly fast, and when they first come up, they are a bunch of characters, and the relationship between the characters is quite intricate, but in such an event-oriented movie, the characters are just unimportant, because they are all pushed by events.
The murder-epidemic-kidnapping case seems to be intricate, but the characters seem to fill the chess pieces of the story, and there is not much room to play.
is a fairly straightforward work, so straightforward that Ding Cheng feels a little too idealistic, and even said to be the second second.
If you really want to talk about masterpieces, "Eight Immortals Hotel's Human Meat Char Siu Bun" is the childhood shadow of countless audiences, and it also makes Huang Qiusheng the only actor who won the Golden Statue by acting in a B-grade film.
"I like to explore issues such as law, justice, and violence in my films. Qiu Litao felt the scrutiny from the Nine Golden Actors, and he didn't mind, but said generously: "That's why I want you to play Jizo!"
"Actually, for me, this work is still a police film to put it bluntly, and the lineup at the beginning is still Liu Qingyun, Zhang Jiahui, and Louis Koo, but then there were some problems, and I could only find other actors. ”
"Gu Tianle has already signed a series of contracts, and then I looked for Liu Tianwang again, he agreed happily without saying a word, and finally thought of you. ”
"Jizo's character is complicated, and I don't think it's a very simple cop movie. From the perspective of so-called commercial films, these three characters are a little more complex than average. ”
"If the first part is about brotherhood, then I think the ambition can be bigger, and I hope to explore a little more. ”
Ding Cheng listened very carefully, hoping to understand the director's creative intentions.
"I wanted Louis Koo to play a law enforcer who works within the framework of the law. And the character of Liu Tianwang is also doing some righteous things, but he can only do it outside the legal system, so from the perspective of modern legal concepts, what he, a billionaire, is doing is illegal. ”
"I don't know if you've noticed what happened in the Philippines in the last few years, where the president caught drug dealers and killed them without interrogation, and even the script had a dialogue that he had to say. ”
"Wouldn't it be too pedantic to talk to drug dealers about human rights?"
"What do you think about this concept? In the so-called civilized world, is it right or wrong to convict people without going through procedures and trials?"
Speaking of this, he stopped abruptly and sighed: "I've been trying to dig into this kind of problem for so many years, but I can't help it, if you want more people to watch the movie, it must be a commercial movie." ”
"In the face of more serious problems, we can only put as much as we can on the basis of not losing money. For example, I think "The Elephant Sits on the Ground" is very good, but it is certainly not commercial. ”
"For most people, watching movies is entertainment, people pay for tickets to come in and watch, your pace can't be too slow, you can't be an empty shot for three minutes, right?"
