Chapter 290: The project is finalized
On April 9, Yang Xiuyuan received a call from Chen Sijie.
"Do you really want to vote?"
"Vote, how much share can you give?"
"I don't promise to make money. ”
"Grinding and chirping, I understand, I don't have this bit of bearing, to be honest, I've thought about making a big IP, but a martial arts movie involves a lot, I don't have energy, I don't understand it, your script is very bold, but I believe you, if the two of us join forces, maybe we can really make something. ”
I believe you, these words came out of Chen Sijie's mouth.
Yang Xiuyuan smiled, to be honest, he really wasn't very sure.
But Yang Xiuyuan has a mentality, his money is like a lottery ticket, it's a big deal to put all this money into it, if he gets it out, it will be more meaningful than copying songs.
Hanging up the phone, Yang Xiuyuan sent some details of the project to Chen Sijie.
We had a brief chat on the phone.
The investment of 1.5 billion yuan, Chen Sijie's side came 500 million, one-third of the share.
This project is not about how much money to make, but to make a decent movie in the category of Xianxia, the first one is just the foundation, just like the foreign cosmic hero series of movies.
The first few films didn't make any money, but people's long-term vision has been paving.
Chen Sijie took this matter to heart, and came to Pengcheng the next day.
I want to talk about it specifically.
So, Yang Xiuyuan found a quiet place.
Zhang Anping's private restaurant.
Since Yang Xiuyuan took Zhou Zi'an and Lin Xiaoqi to Zhang Anping's private restaurant, Zhang Anping's own state has changed a little.
It's more capricious, and the people I come into contact with are different.
So, three hundred and sixty lines, you have to play tricks in your industry.
"Uncle Zhang, I'm in trouble!"
Yang Xiuyuan was the first to arrive, and briefly discussed the dishes with Zhang Anping, or those dishes, simple home-cooked dishes.
"What's the trouble, you're still running to me now, that is, you can afford me, don't worry, I promise not to embarrass you. ”
"To put it seriously, it's because you have a good environment here and good dishes. ”
Yang Xiuyuan sat at the dining table by the window and waited for them, this time eating, not only Chen Sijie, but also Xiang Jie and Wen Dongsheng.
Due to Yang Xiuyuan's anti-routine marketing, Wen Dongsheng has been idle these days.
What is the effect of having a well-known boss?
That is, everything has been reported by the media tap water, and there is no need to run propaganda at all.
Running is just a formality.
This is the case for both Chen Sijie and Yang Xiuyuan.
As long as Chen Sijie's business is stained with a boss who is him, he will be known to the public immediately, and it is all with its own traffic, and it will be easy to do anything with this identity.
Of course, it is also a double-edged sword, Chen Sijie has been scolded by many people.
"Uncle Zhang, do you say that our Chinese cuisine has to be like you to make it to the same specifications?"
Before anyone arrived, Yang Xiuyuan chatted with Zhang Anping.
The specifications in Yang Xiuyuan's mouth are like KFC.
Zhang Anping said while chopping vegetables: "This is the charm of Chinese cuisine, in fact, I think the most essence of Chinese cuisine is home cooking, home cooking represents the flavor of local characteristics, ingredients, seasonings, have gathered the wisdom of the local for many years, but chefs generally make complex dishes." ”
Yang Xiuyuan nodded, this is what he wanted to say.
Take a few simple dishes, scrambled eggs with tomatoes, sour and hot shredded potatoes, and so on.
Cooking these dishes as if they were big dishes can feed a restaurant and simply do it to the extreme.
It is also the so-called chef stir-fried side dishes, but after boiling into a chef, who will fry side dishes.
Huaguo's fast food can't become large-scale, and it relies too much on chefs.
After waiting for a while, Chen Sijie arrived.
"Hey, there's still this kind of place!" Chen Sijie said with a smile.
Yang Xiuyuan invited Chen Sijie to sit down: "It's all home-cooked food here, but I dare to guarantee that the taste is different." ”
"I don't care, I eat everywhere. ”
A few minutes later, Xiang Jie and Wen Dong arrived.
Sit down and serve.
"Taste it!" Yang Xiuyuan invited.
Chen Sijie put some shredded potatoes in a bowl and tasted them.
Anyway, shredded potatoes are still ordinary shredded potatoes, but you can clearly feel the difference.
Hot and sour shredded potatoes, this sour is not vinegar-flavored sour, it is softer, but the sour taste is strong, the shredded potatoes are crispy, and slightly spicy.
Crisp and delicious!
Most of these flavors are made by Zhang Anping with ingredients, the acid is the kimchi water in the kimchi, and some pickled pepper and ginger are added, which is the essence of home cooking.
"Well, that's good!" Chen said.
Yang Xiuyuan smiled, he didn't call it complicated dishes when he ordered takeout, they were all simple dishes.
A sour and hot shredded potatoes can tell the chef's level of that restaurant, Yang Xiuyuan is not a picky eater, and the sour and spicy shredded potatoes and scrambled eggs with tomatoes are delicious.
Therefore, Yang Xiuyuan has eaten sour and hot shredded potatoes from many restaurants, and here is the most delicious.
After eating, we started talking about business.
The project is about to start, and casting will begin in a few days.
Xiang Jie is solely responsible for the whole movie, and Xiang Jie is not deeply involved in the entertainment industry, so it is better, and the casting will be appropriate to the movie itself.
Wen Dongsheng gave Xiang Jie a hand, in terms of qualifications, Wen Dongsheng is more senior than Xiang Jie, but in terms of the control of blockbusters, Xiang Jie is definitely stronger.
"If the filming of this movie goes well, we have a high chance of colliding with Ali's New Century 2, and the guide can legitimately bump into Bian Cailiang. Chatting and chatting, Chen Sijie said suddenly.
Chen Sijie originally wanted to talk about this on the Internet, and he didn't vomit or be unhappy about some things.
After the success of "New Century", Bian Cailiang began to eat alone, among the older generation of filmmakers, Bian Cailiang raised his eyebrows and overwhelmed a group of young directors, and the box office reputation was a bumper harvest, and the media blew up.
Chen Sijie has a deep path and knows the inside story.
The best thing about that movie is the ruins of the last post-war scenes, all of which are iconic buildings on earth.
It wasn't set like that at the beginning, it was made by Xiang Jie.
More than half of the shots are directed by Xiang Jie, and when it comes to credit, at least half and half.
This is not what Bian Cailiang did on purpose, but the media only recognized the main director, and Bian Cailiang just didn't speak.
In the second part, Xiang Jie was kicked out, and Xiang Jie himself wanted to leave, which was boring and cold.
Xiang Jie said: "I work hard! Xianxia film is a film I have always wanted to try, this time Mr. Yang arranged it so properly, I will not drop the chain." ”
Xiang Jie's words are particularly confident.
He is confident that he has participated in the most profitable movie in China at the moment, and he has participated in the whole film.
Yang Xiuyuan had already helped with a lot of preparations, and asked Wen Dongsheng to come over and help him.
Now Xiang Jie's state is that everything is ready, just waiting to roll up his sleeves and do a big job.
If he really came across the second part of the new century, he really wanted to try it.
"The most important thing about this film is the special effects, and we have to prepare for that. Wen Dongsheng said.
"Of course, I asked Mr. Chen to come over today to talk about this, to create professional oriental special effects, and I need Mr. Chen's help in this regard. ”
Chen Sijie is naturally no problem, what he values is the influence of this matter.
The first pure Xianxia blockbuster, directed by Xiang Jie and Wen Dongsheng.
It's a meaningful thing to get this thing done.
"If you have any problems with special effects, come to me directly, I'll arrange it, I talked to Lao Yang about this matter, and the guide and director can do it, no matter what trouble, come to us directly. Chen Sijie said.
Listening to this sentence in the ears of Xiang Jie and Wen Dongsheng, it was a bit of a river and lake atmosphere.
Chen Sijie never cared about his image, he could do whatever he wanted, which means that even if he shoots, no matter what the trouble is, he can solve it.
If you do it, do your best.
This series of things is the business of the main creative team, and with Chen Sijie's words, Xiang Jie knows it in his heart.
Let go of the guts to do it.
Not to mention, with such two simple and pragmatic bosses, Xiang Jie is very comfortable and motivated.
