Chapter 110 (1)

Zhang Shaoyu nodded, he knew about it, and it was reported on the news. That book is called "Evil God", and it is the most popular on the Internet, and I heard that the clicks and recommendations of this book are among the best on various websites. It has attracted countless controversies and received the most support. Wu Ji bought the copyright of this book, which can be described as a unique vision, you must know that in this world, the most controversial things are often the most attractive things.

If this movie is made, it will definitely be a hit, and if it is made well, it will make up for the gap in mainland fantasy movies. Didn't you say that it was invested by Boda and directed by Wu Ji? Could it be that something has changed?

"Could it be that Chen Bo is not investing?" Zhang Shaoyu asked strangely.

Wu Ji shook his head, and Zhang Shaoyu saw his cheeks move, obviously gritting his teeth, and he was extremely angry.

"Since you left, I quarreled with Chen Bo a few times, and later, he knew that your job change was out of my support. I hold a grudge, but because of my relationship with him, he didn't say anything. The script adaptation of "Evil God" is also about to be completed, and various preparations are also underway. Moreover, I have preliminarily selected a few actors, and among them, you are one. ”

At this time, Zhang Shaoyu couldn't help but be a little moved, Wu Ji has never forgotten himself, he was still thinking a few days ago, after leaving Boda, I am afraid that this movie will not have his own share. Unexpectedly, Director Wu actually arranged a role for himself. However, this may also be the contradiction between him and Chen Bo.

"But Chen Bo refused to let you play, saying that there are so many mainland actors, why do you want to find Zhang Shaoyu? Even if the mainland actors are not suitable, then there are still Hong Kong and Taiwan. Now that the film and television circles in Hong Kong and Taiwan are in a recession, a large number of celebrities have gone to the mainland to pan for gold, and they can find a few at will. ”

This is true, the film and television circles in Hong Kong and Taiwan have been declining in recent years, and many stars have come to the mainland to take over movies and TV to seek development.

"He's not wrong?" Zhang Shaoyu said suspiciously.

"Listen to me, even if you are at a loss. His words are good, but this drama has to be for you, do you know why? Because of this role, you are very suitable, it is like tailor-made for you. And, with your current fame and popularity, it will have a huge box office appeal. It's not me Wu someone bragging about it, as soon as "The Evil God" is filmed, it will definitely sell well! And this time it is a big investment, I forced Chen Bo to grind and soak for a few months before he agreed to invest 100 million. ”

"What? 100 million? Are you sure it's RMB?" Zhang Shaoyu was taken aback, you must know that in the history of mainland films, there are not many movies with an investment of 100 million. Chen Kaige took 300 million yuan and made a "Inorganic" that was scolded so much that he couldn't raise his head. Since then, there have been few big-budget films on the mainland.

"Of course it is, you still have to joke around! tell you not to interrupt!" Wu Ji was a little angry. Zhang Shaoyu said yes again and again, and didn't dare to speak anymore.

Wu Ji took another sip of water, breathed a sigh of relief, and then said: "I quarreled with Chen Bo several times for this matter, and yesterday I was in his office, and I smashed my glass. As a result, in a fit of rage, he let out a message, saying that "Evil God" was no longer filmed! I took so much effort, and he gave me this hand, you say, who should I talk to?"

Seeing Wu Ji's distressed look, Zhang Shaoyu knew that this drama must occupy a very heavy weight in his heart. As a director, he may direct countless plays in his life, and he may become a classic, but there are only one or two films. Obviously, Wu Ji wants to make "Evil God" his masterpiece. Seeing that the script was also bought and the preparations were almost ready, suddenly the investor announced that it would not be filmed. The depression in my heart can be imagined.

"Hey, Director Wu, he doesn't invest, you can find someone else! With your fame, are you afraid that no one will throw money at you?" Zhang Shaoyu suddenly thought of this, Wu Jina is one of the top commercial film directors in China, and his name is the guarantee of the box office.

Wu Ji shook his head and sighed: "No, I'm a little famous, with my fame, it's still okay to find an investment of one or two hundred million." But Shaoyu, this is 100 million! Making fantasy movies, that is burning money! In my plan, the actors invited are from the mainland, Hong Kong, and South Korea. are all first-line big names, which one can have less salary, ah, also, our country's computer stunts are not good, I am going to invite it directly from Hollywood, then I have to ask for money. I still have to save money for 100 million yuan alone! Now that he has stopped investing, who would dare to gamble with 100 million yuan? ”

After Wu Ji said this, Zhang Shaoyu understood the stakes. 100 million is definitely a large amount, and Chinese mainland has never made a popular and popular fantasy movie, which makes investors feel bottomless, and no one will dare to take this risk.

And Na Boda, which is a powerful film company in China, has no one in the mainland. Now that Boda is not investing, I am afraid that "Evil God" will really be stranded.

As a director, watching the movie he had high hopes for go down the drain, this must be uncomfortable. He thought of himself at this time, which showed that he could afford to look up to himself.

"Alas, Director Wu, it's all my fault for this, it's me who has tired you. Zhang Shaoyu said softly, full of guilt, if it weren't for himself. Director Wu and Chen Bo are still classmates and brothers. As a result, as soon as he appeared, his brother turned against him, and this matter made a fuss.

Wu Ji glared at Zhang Shaoyu when he heard this, and snorted: "It's your business! Do you really think you're an uncle? I just can't get used to his businessman's face! Crossing the river and demolishing the bridge, this is why he fell out." ”

Zhang Shaoyu knew that he was hard-mouthed and soft-hearted, and he didn't say anything sincerely, and he didn't argue with him, but just comforted him with good words. But even if Zhang Shaoyu said it, Wu Ji couldn't be happy. An investment of 100 million yuan, it's gone, who is replaced, I'm afraid I have to be in a hurry. He Zhang Shaoyu endorses for a year, but it is only 3 million, and he has to endorse others for more than 30 years to earn 100 million.

Seeing that Wu Ji was really distressed, Zhang Shaoyu's eyes rolled, and he smiled: "Director Wu, don't be angry." It's gone, it's gone, it's hard for us to be together today, this place was opened by a friend of mine. Ordinary people can't come in, how about it, I'm having a treat tonight, and I'll have a good time here?"

Wu Ji didn't even raise his eyelids, and said listlessly: "I'm not interested, I even have the heart to die now." ”

"Don't, what is this for? You are kind to me Zhang Shaoyu, so, you wait, when I earn enough 100 million, I will invest!" Zhang Shaoyu laughed.

When Wu Ji heard this, he immediately laughed: "Haha, you kid, when you earn enough 100 million, Lao Tzu will be in the ground!" This smile made his mood a lot better.

"Okay! I blame you kid for hurting me, tonight, I have to slaughter you well! Lao Tzu knows that your kid has made a lot of money recently!" Wu Ji came to his senses, slapped the table, and stood up.

At this moment, the door was pushed open, and a person shouted: "Zhang Shaoyu! Your grandson is so unkind! Where is the person, I will kill you!"

The two in the room were startled, Zhang Shaoyu turned his head and saw that it was Li Wei.

"Haha, Wei Shao, what's the matter, where did the brothers offend you?" Zhang Shaoyu said with a smile. As soon as Li Wei saw Zhang Shaoyu, he immediately laughed and scolded: "You guy, you stabbed me on the first day of the start-up! Director Zhou made eight calls to me today, you said, did you take advantage of other people's daughters-in-law, and he has such a big hatred for you?"

The two brothers here were joking indiscriminately, but Wu Ji was next to him, but he really listened to it. Zhang Shaoyu knew that the director was still his student, and he brought it out single-handedly. Listening to this young man's words, it seems that Zhang Shaoyu has some contradiction with the director?

"Young man, is the Director Zhou you are talking about, is it Zhou Shanghua?" Wu Ji asked Li Wei in front of Zhang Shaoyu.

Li Wei only noticed that there was someone next to Zhang Shaoyu at this time, looked at it, and looked a little familiar, but he still couldn't remember it, so he asked, "Shaoyu, who is this?"

"Oh, come, introduce. Director Wu, this is Li Wei, my boss of this TV series. Li Wei, this is my mentor, Wu Ji, director Wu Da. Zhang Shaoyu introduced the two of them.

When Li Wei heard this, he immediately sighed again and again, shook his head again, and shook hands again: "Oh, it turned out to be Director Wu! Blame me for being clumsy, I didn't recognize it, I'm sorry, I'm sorry!"

Wu Ji smiled politely and said, "If my guess is correct, you must be the son of Mr. Li of Hongxi Group, right?"

"That's right, it's this grandson!" Zhang Shaoyu said with a smile, Li Wei punched Zhang Shaoyu, and replied: "Yes, our old man often chatters, and he had some friendship with you back then." ”

Wu Ji laughed: "Haha, that's right, your old man pulled me when I entered the industry, but I didn't fight at that time and didn't seize the opportunity." It turned out that when Wu Ji first entered the industry, he was not famous, and no one was willing to ask him to direct, but Li Wei and his old man half a new director plan to help new directors. Wu Jina will get a place, but he didn't make the movie well, so he dispersed. Come to think of it, it was more than ten years ago.

"It's rare to get together today, I'll be the east!Go to the emperor's VIP room!" Li Wei waved his hand and led Zhang Shaoyu and Wu Ji to another place.

As soon as he entered, even an old bird like Wu Ji, who had seen the world, couldn't help but marvel, this place was really no different from the imperial palace! The eyes were full of jewels, and the murals hanging on the walls were all imitations of the Diaoyutai State Guesthouse, with thick carpets on the ground, and the furniture and furnishings in the room, even the state leaders were just like that.

And in this room, there is also an exclusive service lady, all kneeling on the ground to serve, and there is really a feeling of dominating the world.

"Sit down, sit, miss, go, bring those bottles of XO that I treasured!, pick up the best things!"

Not long after, the wine came, the snacks and fruits were also served, Zhang Shaoyu had been thinking about a matter in his heart, and when everything was arranged, he called all the service ladies out.

Li Wei frequently persuaded him to drink, and Zhang Shaoyu and Wu Ji also didn't drink it for nothing, but you can't drink this wine even if you have money. After three rounds of drinking, the three of them opened the conversation.

"Director Wu, why do you have time to come here to sit today?" asked Li Wei as he lay on the high-end leather sofa with his hands outstretched.

Before Wu Ji could speak, Zhang Shaoyu had already preemptively said: "Alas, I blame me when I talk about it, and I messed up an extremely important thing about Director Wu." ”

Wu Ji shook his head and signaled that Zhang Shaoyu didn't have to say this, but Li Wei was interested when he heard it, and hurriedly asked, "What's the matter?

Zhang Shaoyu told the matter one by one, and observed Li Wei's movements while talking. Li Wei listened very attentively. Especially when I heard Zhang Shaoyu say "If "Evil God" is filmed, it will definitely be a shocking work, and it will definitely sell well!", his eyes lit up!

After Zhang Shaoyu finished speaking, Li Wei didn't speak for a long time, and his eyes kept turning. Zhang Shaoyu knew that he was thinking about this in his heart, so he didn't bother, glanced at Wu Ji, and smiled mysteriously.

Suddenly, Li Wei sat up from the sofa, stared at Zhang Shaoyu and Wu Ji, and asked seriously: "How sure are you about this? Tell the truth to your buddies!"
