Before the completion of "Hardcover Chasing Girls 2", Zeng Zhiwei brought the script to Summer. Pen ~ fun ~ pavilion www.biquge.info

There are three scripts in total, all of which he thinks are very good.

"Mr. Xia, take a look at these three scripts, are there any suitable ones?" Zeng Zhiwei took the script to Xia Dao.

Summer took it over, and saw that the three scripts were "Black Woman Magnolia", "Dragon and Tiger Robbery", and "One House and Two Wives".

He couldn't help but be stunned, remembering that he had watched a movie called "One House, Two Wives" in his previous life.

It was a middle-class comedy starring Zhong Zhentao, Chen You, Mei Yanfang, and Xia Wenxi. tells the story of Ashin played by Chen You and Baijia played by Mei Yanfang living together after the divorce. And Xia Wenxi's ex-wife Wellcome was cheated out of money because of the failure of the investment, and she moved back to live with her in desperation.

Baijia is worried that the two will rekindle their old relationship, so they are wary everywhere and cause many jokes. In order to get rid of Wellcome, Ashin introduced her boyfriend to him and introduced her colleague Ah Hua to him. Ah Wah is played by Zhong Zhentao.

Wellcome and Ah Hua fell in love at first sight and fell in love, and Ashin inevitably became jealous when he saw this, and caused a lot of jokes...... In the end, a lover finally became a family, which is a relatively perfect ending.

Although the story is cliché, the lines are quite concise, new and very entertaining. It's just that I don't know if this "One House, Two Wives" is the one in the previous life.

Summer speculated while opening the script and reading it carefully.

After reading it, he was sure that this script was the story of his previous life, but it was only roughly similar, but there were still some discrepancies in the details of the lines, and it seemed that the summer was not as refined as the version of his previous life.

But that's not surprising. Hong Kong directors have always had impatient talents, and they like to add and change dramas temporarily. The script is just a reference for them, and what exactly it looks like depends on the performance on the spot.

For example, the stalk in "Mr. Zombie" that can escape the pursuit of zombies by holding his breath is something that the crew suddenly thought of when they were idle and bored and playing games in the hotel. After being added to the play, it really became more interesting and popular. Even when it was released in Taiwan, the movie even changed its name to "Temporarily Stop Breathing".

And the director who likes to add and change dramas the most is Wang Jiawei. "East Evil and West Poison" has been filmed for half a year before the actors have changed roles again. I shot so many films before, and almost all of them were useless, which made the actors angry to death.

……

After reading the script of "One House, Two Wives", Xia then read the two scripts of "Dragon and Tiger Robbery" and "Black Woman Magnolia".

Among them, "Dragon and Tiger Robbery" tells the story of the vendetta of gangsters, which is similar to the routine of "The True Color of Heroes" and "Heroes". But because "The True Color of Heroes" is so good, this "Dragon and Tiger Robbery" seems to be a lot more discolored.

In the summer, even if this movie is filmed, it will only be 20 million Hong Kong dollars at the box office. If the auction is not good, it may only be 10 million Hong Kong dollars, which is not worth cooperating.

And "Black Woman Magnolia" is adapted from Ni Jing's science fiction martial arts novel, which tells the story of the black woman Magnolia who acts chivalrous and punishes evil and eliminates adultery.

This novel was once adapted into a TV series, starring Zhao Yazhi and Yang Panpan, which set a very high rating at that time, and was also exported to the United States and Canada.

Now adapting the movie, I believe it also wants to take advantage of the now popular "women's action movie" to make a lot of money.

However, in the summer's opinion, the adaptation of this script is not very good. The plot is too simple and crude, just blindly fighting. At the same time, there is also a lack of shaping of the characters, which makes the characters more one-sided and stylized, the protagonist is too great, and the villain is too brainless, in short, this script is not very good.

Of course, summer is a high standard and strict demand, and I am more picky about the script. In fact, as long as the scripts of "Dragon and Tiger" and "Black Woman Magnolia" are filmed carefully, it is not difficult to get more than 10 million box office.

Although this box office cannot be compared with the films of Tianxia Pictures, it is still a relatively large profit for the newly established Good Friends Film Company.

……

"Mr. Xia, what do you think?" Seeing that Xia had finally finished reading the three scripts, Zeng Zhiwei hurriedly asked impatiently.

"To be honest, I think the script of "One House, Two Wives" is still good. Summer nodded.

"What about these two?" Zeng Zhiwei heard it and hurriedly asked again.

Summer glanced at him, smiled slightly, and didn't speak.

Zeng Zhiwei was stunned for a moment, and then came to his senses, knowing that he was a little stupid in asking this question. Since he didn't mention it in the summer, he thought that those two scripts were something he couldn't look at.

He smiled wryly, "Mr. Xia, since you think the script of "One House and Two Wives" is good, are you willing to cooperate with us?"

"Of course, you can cooperate, but I want to put the conditions first. Xia smiled slightly, "After you listen to my conditions, you will decide whether to cooperate with me or not." ”

"Mr. Xia, please speak!" Zeng Zhiwei saw that Xia agreed to cooperate, and his mood suddenly relaxed, and he hurriedly asked again.

"First, we will jointly invest in this drama and share the profits equally, and second, the distribution of the film will be handed over to our World Pictures. Summer said with two fingers out.

Zeng Zhiwei was stunned for a moment, calculated carefully, and suddenly his face turned dark.

The film was handed over to Tianxia Pictures for distribution, which was equivalent to giving him 30% of the profits. The rest of the profits will be divided into half to it, which is equivalent to a movie, and at least 60% of the profits will be taken in the summer, and he can only get 30%.

If you count the actor's salary, I am afraid that the profit taken away in the summer will exceed 70%, so that he only has 20% of the profit left (10% is taxes). Once the box office of the movie is not satisfactory, not only will he not make money, but he may lose money. In the summer, only half of the funds were paid, but seventy percent of the profits were taken, accounting for the lion's share, but it was a business that made sure to make money without losing money.

"Mr. Xia, your conditions are inevitably too harsh. Zeng Zhiwei couldn't help but vomit.

"Hey, don't say that. Cooperation, it has always been your willingness, if you think it's not suitable, let's just not cooperate, anyway, I have nothing to lose. Xia smiled, "And to tell you the truth, this condition is not difficult for you, and it is the same condition for me to cooperate with Xinyicheng." ”

"Really?!" Zeng Zhiwei asked in surprise when he heard Xia say this.

If it was really summer and Xinyicheng cooperated like this, then his mood would be much more comfortable.

"Of course, I don't have to lie to you. If you don't believe me, you can ask, I think you still have friends in Xinyi City, right?" Xia smiled again.

When Zeng Zhiwei saw him say this, he knew that it was impossible for him to lie to himself. Because whether this matter is true or not, it is indeed known at a glance.

But even if he and Xinyicheng are also this condition, this condition is too harsh.

"Okay, whether you cooperate or not, you can think about it yourself. Seeing him frowning and looking like he had a hard time making a choice, Xia got up and said with a smile, "At the beginning, Mai Jia thought about it for many days before she made up her mind to accept this condition, you can also go back and think about it carefully." ”

"This ......" Zeng Zhiwei saw Xia say this, hesitated for a while, and finally nodded.

The so-called arms can't twist the thighs!

His good friend film company has just been established, and although it has gathered a lot of talent, to be honest, there is no superstar who can carry the box office.

Whether he's a protagonist, Chen Baixiang, or Feng Qifan, he doesn't have the protagonist's life, and no one can carry the box office alone, so he can only play a supporting role and add glory to others.

If you don't believe it, just watch this "Hardcover Chasing Girls 2", Liu Dehua's acting skills are obviously not as superb as the three of them, and many times they are just responsible for playing handsome.

But Liu Dehua's box office appeal is stronger than the three of them, and overseas studios are willing to buy movies starring him. As long as he starred in the film, the purchase price would start at 5 million Hong Kong dollars.

Five million Hong Kong dollars doesn't sound like much, but it can't stand the crowd of buyers. Taiwan, Thailand, Malaysia, Singapore, South Korea...... These places alone can sell for 20 or 30 million Hong Kong dollars.

So, now his good friend film company is in desperate need of a star who can carry the box office. And the company with the most first-line stars in Hong Kong is Tianxia Pictures in the summer, and he is the only one here who is willing to lend first-line stars. Golden Harvest also has first-line stars, such as Cheng Long, Yuan Biao, Hong Jingbao, etc., but if people have it, who can lend it!

Therefore, Tianxia Pictures is now the only one for scorpion, and there is no other semicolon, either you don't use other people's people, or you have to accept other people's conditions.

……

Zeng Zhiwei thought about it for a long time, and felt that he couldn't screw the summer, and it was impossible for the family to change their minds.

After all, it doesn't matter if people leave him, but it doesn't work if he leaves them.

And if you invite a star to make the movie a big hit at the box office, although he only accounts for 20% of the profit, he can also make a profit.

Moreover, the distribution channels of Tianxia Pictures are also relatively wide, and even the Japanese market, which Hong Kong filmmakers regard as daunting, can also enter. If the movie "One House, Two Wives" can be released in the summer, it will also make him a lot of money.

"Okay, Mr. Xia, then I will agree to your conditions. Zeng Zhiwei then nodded.

"That's pretty much it. Okay, let's talk about it, who do you want to borrow?" asked Summer with a smile again.

"I plan to borrow Zhong Chuhong and Lin Qingxia. Zeng Zhiwei said.

"......" Summer was stunned for a moment, and then laughed, "You're really welcome!"

Chung Chuhong is now the most popular actress in Hong Kong, and there is no one. Because of her starring "Ghost Love", it has achieved a box office of more than 100 million dollars in the United States. This achievement is unrivaled for the time being, so she ranks first among first-line actresses.

Although Lin Qingxia is temporarily behind, the title of the first beauty in Southeast Asia is not for nothing. In addition, last year's starring movies "Love Letter", "Sword Horse", "Overlord Flower Fighting Black Rose" and so on were all box office hits, so she is also firmly in the position of a first-line actress.

Zeng Zhiwei wanted to borrow the two of them all at once, and he was really greedy enough.
