Not only Chen Feng himself has confidence in himself, but many people in the industry are very confident in Chen Feng.

Under Zheng Yugang's matchmaking, the company that helped "Crazy Stone" do the distribution and promotion last time got a 10% investment share of "Infernal Affairs", and the other party is very optimistic about this new movie, because "Crazy Stone" has proved that Chen Feng's project is likely to make a lot of money, and now participate in an investment in advance, and may reap rich returns in the future.

And Chen Feng and Xu Tailang also feel more at ease about this, after all, they have experience in cooperation, and the other party does have some influence in the distribution field, so it is more conducive to the distribution and scheduling of the film when the other party is released in the later stage.

In addition to the distribution company, there are three or four well-known domestic cinema systems, as well as a relatively well-known media company, which share the remaining 15 percent of the investment share.

As for directors Liu Qiangwei and Mai Zizhao, Chen Feng originally meant to give a corresponding share according to the final box office results, just like Ni Hao at the beginning, although the share ratio will not be high, but as long as the box office of the movie is good, the final income is also very considerable.

However, Liu Qiangwei himself was a little hesitant, he had just come to the northern entertainment industry, he didn't know much about everything here, and what he got in his hands was the most reliable, so in the end he chose a fixed salary.

Liu Qiangwei and Mai Zizhao took a total of 3 million.

This price is also considered a high salary in the circle, but the combination of Liu Qiangwei and Mai Zizhao is indeed worth this price, so Chen Feng happily agreed to their request.

Even Chen Feng was a little happy, because he believed that the box office performance of "Infernal Affairs" would definitely not be bad, three million, which is not much compared to the final box office of the movie.

Anyway, this is also Liu Qiangwei's own request, and before the movie was released, everyone was happy.

And Mai Zizhao is actually a little regretful, he very much wants to follow the plan provided by Chen Feng and get money with the final box office results, but Liu Qiangwei does not agree, he stubbornly wants to get a fixed salary, which is also his character habit.

"Hadron, just in case...... In the future, our films will be a big hit, and the box office results will be very high, much higher than our current salary of three million, what will we do then?" Mai Zizhao tried to persuade Liu Qiangwei.

However, Liu Qiangwei was unmoved.

"Hehe, you only think about making money, so why don't you think about it, what if this piece loses? Don't talk about three million at that time, I'm afraid you won't be able to get any money. ”

"How can you lose!" Mai Zizhao shook his head helplessly: "Just with my script, your leadership, and the cast of the film, how can you lose money! Do you trust me? Don't trust yourself?"

Liu Qiangwei shook his head: "No, I trust myself very much, I will definitely be able to make this film well!"

"Then why are you ......?"

"I can make a good film, but it doesn't mean that the movie will be successful at the box office, when I was in the south before, this kind of thing has not happened, and it is not uncommon for a good film to be made with hard work, and the box office is dismal. ”

Liu Qiangwei said, the corners of his eyes twitched a few times, and it was obvious that he remembered something that was not beautiful.

Mai Zizhao sighed, he knew Liu Qiangwei's character very well, and once he made a decision, it was difficult to change.

However, Mai Zizhao still feels a little regretful, after all, the script of "Infernal Affairs" was revised by him and Chen Feng together, and he is still very confident in this movie.

"Here in the north, after all, it is different from the entertainment industry in the south...... Chen Feng's last film "Crazy Stone", whether it is investment or production, is not as good as this "Infernal Affairs", that film can be a big hit, not to mention our "Infernal Affairs"?

After listening to Mai Zizhao's words, Liu Qiangwei was silent for a moment, and said slowly: "I understand what you mean...... But I don't have a choice......"

Although Liu Qiangwei is also a well-known director in the southern entertainment industry and has made a lot of films, his economic situation has not been very good in recent years, because of some special things at home, he is now short of money.

"If the box office of this film really hits in the end, I may make more money, but if the box office loses, then I may not even get 1.5 million, so, in my current situation, I can afford a high box office but I can't get more shares, but I can't afford to get less than 1.5 million. ”

"So, I chose to take the fixed amount first. ”

After finishing speaking, Liu Qiangwei was silent for a moment, and then said to Mai Zizhao: "You can go to Chen Feng to sign another contract, you don't have to be tied to me, our situation is different after all." ”

Seeing that Liu Qiangwei had made up his mind, Mai Zizhao also sighed helplessly.

"Well, I see what you're thinking, and maybe it's right for you...... As for signing a separate contract...... There's no need for that, just do what you want. ”

……

Although Liu Qiangwei and Mai Zizhao only received a fixed director's salary, after they started working, they were still very focused and serious, and they did their best to shoot the film, striving to make the best film.

After all, no matter what, as long as the film is filmed well, even if this one can't make money, it can also accumulate fame and popularity, which are more valuable intangible assets.

Especially Liu Qiangwei, he has rich directing experience, and with the cooperation of Mai Zizhao, the screenwriter, he already knows the drama "Infernal Affairs" well, and even the storyboard of each shot has been drawn.

Chen Feng has seen Liu Qiangwei's storyboard script, and the storyboards he drew by himself actually look good, just like a comic book, which can be very smooth and coherent.

"Have you studied comics?" Chen Feng asked curiously.

Liu Qiangwei shook his head.

"I haven't studied, but I used to draw storyboards when making films, and after practicing a lot, I didn't have a teacher. ”

Well, it seems that no matter what, as long as you are willing to work hard, you can practice well.

Chen Feng browsed Liu Qiangwei's storyboard script for a while, most of the shots were similar to the picture in Chen Feng's mind, which had to sigh, the director is still the director after all, what people conceived after reading the script is actually very close to the finished film they have seen in their dream world.

Seeing these sub-scenes, Chen Feng was more relieved, at least the director had a score in his heart, and what he shot was more secure.

……

The filming speed of "Infernal Affairs" was even faster than Chen Feng expected.

Because many scenes were filmed in the downtown area of Kyoto, in such a big city, it is impossible to delay filming for too long, so some scenes have to be solved quickly.

Fortunately, Liu Qiangwei and Mai Zizhao are very experienced in filming, and they are very good at transferring and controlling the crew.

Even if there are some very complex scenes, they can always complete them in the shortest time, and then quickly finish the required shots.

This kind of high-intensity and high-quality shooting method is actually a sequelae left by the golden age of film and television in the southern entertainment industry, although it is very busy and tiring to do so, but I have to say that the efficiency is very high.

Moreover, because of the venue arrangement, on the third day of filming, the crew went to Longteng Building to shoot the most exciting scene in the movie!

It was the scene when Chen Yongren saw his boss, Officer Huang, fall from the building.

Chen Yongren, played by Chen Hui, wants to watch Officer Huang played by Huang Zesheng die in front of him at this moment, and he wants to use his eyes and body movements to show that kind of shocked and dazed and frightened look with his eyes and body movements in just a few seconds.

This is a big test for the actors.

Moreover, because the crew has only been on for three days, in fact, most of them have not yet fully immersed themselves in their respective roles, and at this moment, it is difficult to imagine that Chen Hui is going to play such a scene.

However, Chen Hui is an actor after all, his acting skills have nothing to say, after trying three or four times on the day of filming, the fifth time, director Liu Qiangwei decisively shouted!

"OK, this is over!"

Even Chen Feng, who had been watching from the side, felt a little incredible.

However, when he came to the monitor and watched the playback of the picture on the screen, Chen Feng directly gasped.

Like, too much like!

No, maybe it can't be said to be like ...... It should be said that it is perfect synchronization!

After all, Chen Hui, as a person from this world, must not have seen the film in Chen Feng's dream world, and when he starred in it, he acted completely according to his own ideas, so in this case, the two actors in two time and space actually achieved amazing synchronization pictures, which is also incredible.

After watching the footage, Chen Feng breathed a long sigh of relief.

Lin Zhehua, who was following him, let out a long sigh.

Chen Hui's acting skills are so against the sky, so ...... Will he still be able to play a good rivalry with Chen Hui then?

I'm afraid I'll be completely crushed by then.

Feeling Lin Zhehua's uneasiness behind him, Chen Feng turned around and patted him on the shoulder.

"What does it feel?"

Lin Zhehua pursed his lips: "I feel too weak...... I'm afraid of dragging the crew back......"

Chen Feng shook his head: "This kind of emotion is not right, shouldn't it be Chen Hui who inspired your fighting spirit and made you want to play with him even more? ”

Listening to Chen Feng's words, Lin Zhehua nodded, but his face was still bitter.

Everyone understands the truth, but when it comes to really going into battle, everyone's hearts will still be full of fear.

After all, now Lin Zhehua is facing Chen Hui, an actor-level actor, and from the momentum alone, Lin Zhehua feels that he is really not good.

To be honest, the look in Chen Hui's eyes just now even made him feel that he would never want to surpass it in his life.

This kind of pressure is really big!
