Chapter 324: Old Monster Xu
Although the filming time is very short, this work has a unique meaning for Ding Cheng.
The first is the first restricted-level work, both the subject matter and the details are very dark, and there is no trace of hopelessness.
As the first work to stand on its own, it feels especially different, you don't have to think about the box office, you don't have to think about the sophistication, and you don't even have to think about the level of word of mouth......
Completely in accordance with the heart,
Choose a work you like!
"This is what it feels like to be the boss yourself!" Liu Tianwang laughed after listening to Ding Cheng's true feelings: "How did you say that?"
"Self-financed?"
Ding Cheng also laughed, such as the scum Hui, when an actor feels like a marionette, he will take whichever one has a high salary, and he will act how the director asks him to act.
When you can make your own decisions, you will rebound with a vengeance, completely let yourself go, and make a mess of three movies in a row!
"The actors on Hong Kong Island are very bitter!" Liu Tianwang complained: "We seem to have debuted for decades and filmed dozens or hundreds of dramas, but the salary has only really risen in the past few years, and we used to be just wage earners!"
"You also know the price here, it's so high that it's deadly, casually two or three hundred thousand yuan a foot, if I hadn't invested early, I'd ...... now."
Ding Cheng pouted, pretending to be too much to be struck by lightning!
"Since you have the opportunity, you can praise newcomers more, especially when you meet a good script, it is a rare fate......"
"Besides, the mainland market is getting bigger and bigger, and the investment is only 30 million, and basically you won't lose money, so what else is there to be afraid of?"
"Hey, word-of-mouth is just like that, I said a long time ago that you are the same as Tony Leung Viagra, no matter how bad the shooting is, the audience will not scold you!"
After a meal, I listened to Liu Tianwang's crooked brainwashing, saying that to be a boss you have to look like a boss...... Invest more, don't cost ...... When you meet a potential newcomer, you have to sign it......
It's all fate......
Everything has a cause and effect......
Do well and have well......
It's important to accumulate merit!
Just the day before I was about to go back to the capital, I received a call from Xu Laowei, saying that he wanted to meet and talk about a new movie?
When I came to the café, I saw Tsui Hark in black clothes and black pants and full of white hair, Sister Tao cooperated last time, and she was not polite when she came up, so she took out the script directly and said: "Do you want to take the action movie?"
Ding Cheng took it with both hands, the knife breaker?
After reading the script quickly, I asked curiously: "You don't like to play special effects in the past few years, why now?"
"Hey, special effects don't make money!"
Xu Laowei touched his nose and said with some embarrassment: "There are a lot of celebrities, hundreds of special effects shots, and in the end, the box office is still like that, after a few dramas, investors are about to collapse!"
"So Lin Chaoxian is still smart, there is nothing in the fierce battle, it is all up to you and Zhang Jiahui to make a lot of money by selling muscles, this kind of good thing is going to be my turn, right?"
looked at Ding Cheng and said solemnly: "You have cooperated with Yuan Laoba, shouldn't you consider me?"
Ding Cheng waved his hand, come on, just say this to your old man, this play buddy took it!
Seeing Old Monster Xu's relieved look, it seems that even his life is not very easy?
Since the establishment of the studio in '84, it has always been ambitious to establish a base camp for visual stunts. once said at the age of 67 that action movies must change with the trend of the times. Every time I change, I want the audience to see something more real and interesting.
Let the people sitting in the screening hall see something different from before, even if it is just one or two shots, which feels fresh and fun.
Last year's Chinese New Year files "The Legend of the Demon Cat", "Predecessor 3", and "The Second Generation Goblin" were launched together, but the worst loss was "Qimen Dunjia" starring Ni Ni and Zhou Chunyu!
Although the box office of the demon cat is not good, at least Cheng Kaige built a Tang Dynasty film and television base for making movies, although the movie is not a blockbuster, but the film and television base can sell tickets to return to the cost.
The unlucky Yuan Baye invested at least 250 million in the filming of "Qimen Dunjia", and the box office was only 300 million, and the actual distribution was about 100 million, and the investors lost almost 200 million in the end.
Not only the box office, but even the actors also lost a lot. lost the audience popularity of Ni Ni and Zhou Chunyu, and some people even named them box office poison.
Ding Cheng shook his head secretly, this kind of thing is also drunk. The eighth master is also too radical, and it is easy for Zhang Tianzhi to earn some retirement money, but the result is ......
Since the cooperation was confirmed, Xu Laowei was very happy, picked up a thick stack of storyboards from his bag, handed it to Ding Cheng and said, "Think about it, what will happen when you meet a person with a broken arm?"
"A little girl has grown up and is in the world of a group of men, and this group of men, iron-boned, masculine, in the washing of iron and fire, is heroic. ”
"The little girl's spring heart began to ripple, Tietou and Ding'an are the two stars in this wave, is this the story of Yan Ying and two peaches killing three soldiers?"
"In the desert full of wind and sand, a knife man with a broken arm finally became one with the broken knife, and burst out with amazing power......"
"How do you describe it?"
"Yes!"
"It's velvety!"
Ding Cheng looked at the fine brushstrokes one by one, and had heard Li Chengjie chat and say that Tsui Hark likes to draw the sub-shots by himself, is it true?
Afraid that Ding Cheng wouldn't understand, he pondered for a moment to sort out his thoughts, and explained seriously: "In my opinion, knives belong to life and have a thick pyrotechnic atmosphere. ”
"The sword, on the other hand, is artistic, and does not eat the fireworks of the world. ”
"Gu Long once talked about the knife and said: It is not as good as the sword, it does not have that elegant, mysterious and romantic temperament, and it does not have the dignity of the sword. At some point, the sword was even a symbol of power and majesty, while the sword was not. ”
"Because since the birth of the knife, it is closely related to life. Starting with scissors to cut the umbilical cord, cutting vegetables, tailoring, cutting cloth, cutting hair, trimming sideburns, shaping nails, dividing meat, cutting fish, cutting tobacco, giving warnings, raising prestige, and rectifying the Dharma......"
"There is no knife missing!"
"Therefore, in the life of human beings, there can be no knife, not to mention in a troubled world where horse thieves are rampant and bloody and bloody, the fate of little people is like ants. Where do we go from here?"
"Only by holding the knife in your hand, killing a dark sky and a bright world!"
Ding Cheng listened to Xu Laowei's impassionedness, and re-read the script, is it really pretending?
