The story of "Hot Pot Hero" is very interestingly written, a bloody case caused by a bomb shelter.

To put it simply, the three friends plan to sell the "Dongzi" hot pot restaurant to pay off gambling debts.

In order to sell for a good price, the store must be expanded. The so-called "expansion" is to continue to extend the storefront in the bomb shelter.

Then, dig through the treasury of the wealth management company.

To take, or not to take, becomes a question?

When everyone racked their brains and came up with a plan that could not only protect the hot pot restaurant but also seal the entrance to the vault, all the accidents came unexpectedly, and the seventh brother and four armed robbers who kept forcing debts accidentally created a hero and broke an obsession.

“… It's okay, it's a bit of a Quentin, but it depends on the director's control, and if you don't control it well, you will use too much force. ”

Kominsky's assessment was succinct.

So, Shen Ming closed the script: "Sister Yang, who is the director of this "Hot Pot Hero"?"

"Yang Qin, a very talented young man!"

“… I know him, I've filmed "Nightclub""

……

Yang Qin is indeed very talented.

He is a native of Shancheng and a veteran fan who has liked movies since he was a child, and later he was admitted to the junior college class of the Sichuan Conservatory of Music to study acting.

After graduation, he and his friends were admitted to the adult education director class of Chinese opera.

In his words, attending this teaching class is not to learn knowledge, but to fall in love with the platform of Chinese opera, and to be able to contact some like-minded friends in movies. Without this platform, he could only go to Chengdu TV arranged for him by his father to be a director.

In the years after the end of the Chinese opera, Yang Qin mixed very badly in Beijing.

An outsider, and a newcomer, who will give you a chance?

He can only shoot some works that cannot be signed, that is, to give people the meaning of being a gunman.

That year, Matt Damon not only played the role in "Soul Catcher", but also wrote the script for the film, and won the Oscar for Best Original Screenplay.

A few more years in the screenwriting industry...

In 09, Ning Hao's "Crazy Stone" became a dark horse in the industry and won many awards such as Golden Horse and Huabiao.

Yang Qin is very hot-eyed!

He saw the market potential of this kind of blackly humorous small-budget film!

After 09 years, there are often small-cost comedies in the domestic market, "Crazy Stupid Thief", "Visitors from the Sui Dynasty" or something, although most of the films are of poor quality, but some people invest!

So, he began to ponder this type of script, trying to succeed by following Ning Hao's path, and after that, he had his debut film "Nightclub".

"Nightclub" is very similar to "Gas Station Attack", but "Gas Station" is obviously an ambitious movie, which can be seen from the life experience of the four bad teenagers, and "Nightclub" is much more harmonious.

"Nightclub" got a box office of more than 10 million with an investment of 2.5 million, and Yang Qin also followed suit...

Then, he was signed away by the pony Bento.

The story of "Hot Pot Hero" has come out as early as 11 years!

Pony was busy going public in those years, and everyone was talking about value, not movies...

Yang Qin estimated his stake in Xiaoma, once listed, he will be a billionaire, how can he have time to think about what movies?

After that, Xiaoma's listing failed, Chairman Li Ming died unexpectedly, and Yang Qin didn't know what he could do...

It just so happened that Xu Zheng was preparing for "Thai Embarrassment" that year, so he pulled him over to be the assistant director...

After that, I know what happened, "Thai Embarrassment" was a big hit, and Yang Qin also rose with the tide.

However, "Hot Pot Hero" still can't find investors!

Because it's a crime movie!

Domestic crime movies, the box office ceiling is 300 million...

It's impossible to exceed 300 million!

"Scorching Sun" is only 305 million;

So, while the story is good, he just can't find investors...

"Hot Pot Hero", the investment he is preparing is 80 million.

80 million, at least 240 million box office to pay back, with the current market environment, it is difficult...

Last year, he learned smartly, and simply pulled actors to pull in investment together - the male number one he chose was Chen Kun!

Chen Kun liked this script very much and found Chen Guofu, Chen Guofu agreed to be the producer, and it was okay...

You see, with the joining of mature actors and mature producers, it is easy to attract investment...

With a single director, the persuasiveness is close to zero.

The funds are in place, and now it's just a matter of casting!

Yang Qin followed Chen Guofu's suggestion and handed over the casting right to Qiancheng Film and Television, so Zhang Jiazhen only had this script in his table.

As for "Love in Manhattan" and "Ella Lock Code", Zhang Jiazhen is the producer of the two works, Qiancheng Film and Television is responsible for casting and forming a crew...

……

"You both have taken a fancy to this "Hot Pot Hero"?"

Yang Xin was a little surprised...

Of course, she knows that the script of "Hot Pot Hero" is very complete, but this is a crime film...

Her original intention, Shen Ming took "Love in Manhattan", and Peng Peng took "Ella Lock Code", both of which were male leads.

In these two works, Qiancheng Film and Television has a great right to speak.

Two fires and one is enough!

Shen Ming replied honestly: "Well, this story is the best!"

Zhang Jiazhen didn't speak, Yang Xin simply made it clear: "Actually, I want you to take "Love in Manhattan"..."

"I'm only 19 years old, and it's not good to act in emotional dramas!"

Shen Ming refused very tactfully...

When I read the script just now, Kominsky had already said that the script of "Love in Manhattan" was too, and it was difficult to resonate with the audience...

“… Let me start with the fact that although the casting rights of "Hot Pot Heroes" belong to us, the protagonists have been determined, Yang Kun, Hu Ge, Yu Entai and Bai Lily..."

The main actor has already been decided?

("Hot Pot Hero" was looking for Hu Ge at the beginning, and Hu Ge also agreed to star, of course, because "Good Time" missed it... In fact, Lao Hu's opportunity is okay, he didn't grasp it himself, and "Chinese Partner" also approached him... ）

Shen Ming glanced at Peng Peng, and then said, "I think those four robbers are quite interesting, I want to play the robbers..."

"That's the antagonist, and your first movie can't be so casual!"

Yang Xin directly refused.

“… Ahem, don't be so serious, I think it's good for young people to have ideas, communicate more!"

Zhang Jiazhen spoke.

"Okay, then why do you want to play "Hot Pot Hero"?"

“… I feel that this script has a kind of Quentin flavor, and director Yang Qin is a fan of Korean movies, this kind of crime film, he is very good at it..."

This phrase was taught to him by Kominsky.

Yang Xin glanced at Zhang Jiazhen, the latter spread his hands, and he was a little incomprehensible...

"I kind of like the robbers here..."

Peng Peng followed suit.
