Chapter 169: The Invisible Witness
"New script?"
Just a few days after I came back, I received a call from Wang Tian, made an appointment to meet, and said that he had a good book.
came to the studio and took the script handed over by Wang Fatzi with a red face, an invisible witness?
From the first page, I didn't look up for more than half an hour, and I couldn't stop at all.
"Good book!"
Ding Cheng let out a long breath and said with rare excitement: "It is no exaggeration to say that this is the best suspense crime script I have ever seen, except for the shadow chasing the murderer!"
"Hahaha" Wang Tian looked up to the sky and laughed, "I knew you would say that!"
"At that time, I was shocked when I saw this book.,Take it directly without saying a word.,The hero is you.,The heroine I thought of the best candidate.,Guess who?"
Ding Cheng had a flash of inspiration, sketched an image in his mind, and blurted out: "Hui Yinghong!"
"Heroes see the same thing!"
Wang Tianyi patted his thigh and said, "It's her!"
Ding Cheng smiled and nodded, this is the so-called like-mindedness, without saying a word, he picked up his mobile phone and dialed Liu Tianwang's phone.
"Brother Hua, yes, there's something I want to ask"
"Teacher Hui Yinghong"
"Okay, no problem, I'll go to Hong Kong Island as soon as possible and meet and talk. ”
hung up the phone and said to Wang Tian: "The king asked us to go to Hong Kong Island, he will help ask as soon as possible, it shouldn't be a big problem." ”
"Then what are you waiting for?" Wang Tian jumped up directly and said anxiously: "When are you leaving?"
Ding Cheng scolded with a smile: "What's the hurry? I'll ask Yao Zai to apply for a pass, have you been to Hong Kong Island?"
Wang Tian was instantly deflated, touched his head, and said with a cheap smile: "I'm sorry, I forgot!"
Ding Cheng was speechless, and re-read the script, it can be said that he likes it more and more. asked: "The cost is estimated to be 20 million this time, can you win?"
"No need!" Wang Tian said confidently: "We still have the old rules, you give five million, I take ten million, how about five or five points?"
Ding Cheng nodded, feeling that the cost this time was even smaller than that of a sniper phone booth, it was basically a closed room movie, all relying on acting skills and logic reversal, which could be called a low-cost fighter.
Seeing Ding Cheng agree, Wang Tian secretly breathed a sigh of relief, now it is different from last year's sniper is a phone booth, and the one sitting in front of him is the Golden Horse Golden Rooster double actor, a big freak under the age of forty who doesn't even dare to scream!
With a salary of at least 15 million, one of the most appealing young actors in China, it is no exaggeration to say:
DING Cheng,
A man who relies on his acting skills to support the whole work!
Ding Cheng is very satisfied with Wang Tian's state, he is not floating, and his years of career as an assistant director have allowed this fat man to hone a rare quality:
Self-knowledge!
The low-cost script is solid, the characters are complex, and the plot is reversed
As long as the cost is controlled below 30 million, it will basically not lose money, but it is just a matter of earning more and earning less.
For the current commercial film market, it is not easy for a director who does not lose money.
The next day when he came to Hong Kong Island, Ding Cheng was also the first time to come, and he was full of respect for this magical film kingdom.
My favorite director is called Johnny To,
The most awesome company is called Galaxy Imaging,
The funniest person is called Xing Ye,
The most capable of fighting is Sammo Hung ,
The one who can win the award the most is Tony Leung,
The most handsome is Brother Xiaoma
a tiny area
But it is the memory of several generations.
"I've been a vegetarian all year round, so today I bought a rat spot for you to try. ”
came directly to Liu Tianwang's villa in the middle of the mountain and entertained Ding Cheng at home, this kind of treatment flattered Wang Fatzi.
The first time I came to the door, I couldn't be stingy, I gave the limited edition Swarovski gemstone bracelet carefully selected by Yao Zai to the king's daughter, and handed over all kinds of local products to the king's sister-in-law, and everyone began to eat.
"Sister Hong's side is fine, just after the shooting, lucky it is me, and I will make an appointment to chat tomorrow. ”
Ding Cheng and Wang Tian glanced at each other, this is the confidence of the Heavenly King, in this one-third of an acre, speaking definitely counts.
Wang Tian was very smart, so he hurriedly took out the script, asked the Heavenly King to help palm his eyes, and asked directly after reading it: "Can you count me as a share?"
"Ding Cheng's acting skills have nothing to say, Sister Hong is no problem, the role of the victim's father"
Wang Tian was stunned for a moment, came back to his senses suddenly, and hurriedly said: "No problem, I never dreamed that you would perform my work!"
Liu Kaihua laughed, he had seen many young directors like Wang Tian, waved his hand, and said easily: "You're welcome, as long as it's a good script, I will invest in it!"
"If you can play it, you can play a role, and if you can't play it, you can hang up a producer, and it will be easy to publicize it when the time comes, right?"
"Brother Hua, then let's decide!" Ding Cheng raised his wine glass and joked: "The publicity on Hong Kong Island is all up to you." ”
"You kid"
Everyone burst into laughter, and the matter of cooperation was decided in a few sentences, Liu Tianwang in addition to the salary, a symbolic investment of 1 million, accounting for 40% of the shares, participated in post-production, and was fully responsible for operation and publicity.
Ding Cheng invested 10 million, 40 percent, and the director invested 10 million, 20 percent.
For Wang Tian, it's a pie in the sky!
The second work can cooperate with two emperors and one queen?
Not to mention that there are shares,
Even if you don't take a penny, you can laugh and bloom!
"Sister Hong's market is up to five million, I really didn't expect the king to invest in shares!"
Back at the hotel, Ding Cheng looked at Wang Tian's excited appearance, and said helplessly: "Look at your unpromising appearance, let alone suspense films, he has invested in niche literary films in the past two years." ”
"It's not just him, Louis Koo, Zhang Jiahui, Wu Junru, that is not a regular investment, and it is called supporting local films. ”
"To put it bluntly, it's better to have a script, otherwise the king of heaven is really idle and hurts to play with you?"
"Hey, hey, that's right. Wang Tian touched his head, still smirking, Ding Cheng shook his head, no wonder, how many new directors have the opportunity to cooperate with Tianwang?
There are some things that I haven't said, mainly because I have cooperated with Liu Kaihua, and I know the roots. is very measured on the set, knows how to respect the team, and rescues Mr. Wu very comfortably.
Otherwise, if it is replaced by several other big names, let alone the starring role, even the director can't hold it down.
It is said that the store is a big bully,
The guest is big,
I can also deceive the store!
Wang Tian is not stupid, the reason why Liu Tianwang is willing to cooperate with an unknown director is to see Ding Cheng's face, and secondly, because of the successful work of sniper phone booths.
With less than 20 million investment, it actually got a small box office of 400 million?
Reminds the king of what it was like to invest in crazy stones?
