Whether it is Xu Ji or Shang Changrong, they all praise "Farewell My Concubine", and the two of them even opened it up and discussed it while talking.

Zhang Chu will not be surprised at all by this, because this and adapted movies are all classics among classics, this is a story about helplessness, a story about life, a story about drama and reality.

The story of half the world, the emotional entanglement of two men and one woman, the conflict between homosexuality and heterosexuality, is very tense!

This not only has a deep sense of history, but also mixes the joys and sorrows of the little people with the development of Chinese history in the past half century.

On the surface, it seems to be telling the story of two Peking Opera artists, but it is actually writing about the Chinese's thinking about the state of human existence and human nature.

From the Republic of China to the reform and opening up of New China, this is a special history, in which readers can see how the drama and the people outside the drama are affected and how they survive.

Embracing the gao tide of life in death, this is a work that can shock people and have endless memories at the same time!

"Lao Xu, Zhang Chu, this is much more reliable than the scripts you collected. If you want me to say, if this is not made into a movie, it will be a waste. Shang Changrong said exaggeratedly.

From his initial disgust to his current liking, his emotions have almost completed a subversive transformation.

Although this contains a variety of sensitive elements, it also happens to make up its unique charm, and the scar has to be uncovered before it can slowly heal.

Xu Ji showed a wry smile, "Old man, I also know that this is very suitable, but I now seriously doubt who can play the role of Hao Cheng Dieyi." He is the soul of the movie, if you can't find the right actor, then don't start construction at all!"

Shang Changrong touched his bare head and said approvingly: "That's really the case, how many of those actors in the entertainment industry are acting down-to-earth? ”

"It's quite easy for actors like Juxian and Duan Xiaolou, my old face is a bit useful in the entertainment industry. It's a pity that I searched around in my mind and couldn't find one suitable for Cheng Dieyi. ”

"Otherwise, let's look for it in the Peking Opera circle? This is just a perfect match, when filming the Overlord Farewell My Concubine Peking Opera, we don't even need to find a stand-in, just go directly to the stage to perform! Although the Danjiao is withering, there are still two talents. ”

Shang Changrong gave a very good suggestion, Cheng Dieyi is a Peking Opera actor, so just find a Peking Opera actor to play Cheng Dieyi, he was frightened by his cleverness, and his cleverness will really be overwhelming!

After Zhang Chu listened silently on the side, he suggested: "Maybe we can relax the circle of actors, not just in the mainland, there are also some good actors in Hong Kong, Macao and Taiwan." ”

In this world, Xiangjiang and Baodao movies are still in decline, only mainland films are full of vitality, and actors from Hong Kong, Macao and Taiwan have to go north if they want to make good movies or make money!

This is a trend that cannot be reversed, and culture and entertainment are actually closely related to economic strength.

Of course, this is just a proposal, and it depends on Xu Ji how to get it, after all, he is the director.

"Hong Kong, Macao and Taiwan? There are no young actors over there, but there are a lot of good actors who are almost middle-aged. ”

Xu Ji decided to put the actor candidates aside for the time being, and he thought about it by tapping his fingers lightly on the cover in his hand.

"Farewell My Concubine" is already so exciting, if you decide to make a movie, the pressure will definitely be very high.

If it is not filmed well, and it does not meet the standard of being better than blue, then the original readers and the media will definitely attack it!

There is no such trouble in choosing a separate script, and the audience will not find out the original work, even if it is only 70 points, it will be understood, after all, Peking Opera is not easy to film, and it will not be lost in the evening.

But if he gave up, he really couldn't bear such a good story!

There are a few opportunities to meet good works in life, how many big directors have to line up to ask for their favorite scripts, and now that they have encountered it, if they miss it, they will definitely have to repeat it after retirement: why didn't they choose it in the first place.

"Old Xu, I don't know what you're hesitating about. Such a good script, even if it is given to Zhang Yimou and Feng Xiaogang, they will also be taken across! After this village, there is no such shop!"

Shang Changrong really couldn't figure it out, what was there to hesitate about, Zhang Chu personally sent it to the door, and it was clear that he wanted Xu Ji to adapt it.

If that's not the case, why bother showing it to the two old men?

Xu Ji sighed and expressed his hidden worries: "Lao Shang, you probably don't know Zhang Chu's current worth, right? ”

"A book about Peking Opera, no matter how expensive it is, how expensive is it?" Shang Changrong said nonchalantly.

"Did you know that he recently sold the rights to a movie called "Ghost Blows the Lantern"? ”

"Eight figures?"

Shang Changrong's eyes widened, and he began to fold his fingers, how much money did these eight figures come from.

"One, ten, hundred, thousand, thousand. He changed his other hand, "100,000, 10,000,000, 10,000,000,000,000,000,000,000,000,000,000,000,000,000,000,000,000,00 ”

Xu Ji nodded firmly, although it has not been officially announced yet, Yida Pictures still revealed a lot of rumors.

Tu Qiwei wanted him to direct this movie on the theme of tomb robbery, but he was rejected by himself!

Even if Xu Ji has been in the entertainment industry for most of his life, he feels terrible when he thinks that the adaptation rights can be sold for 10 million plus 5% box office dividends.

Even if the adaptation price of a literary film is different from that of a commercial film, it is simply unrealistic to have less than 5 million yuan.

He didn't want to deliberately lower the price just because Zhang Chu had a good relationship with him, which was completely bullying others!

"Director Xu, if you're worried about this, there's no need at all. As long as you like it, then I can participate in the investment. ”

This is Zhang Chu's real purpose, just to write it, it doesn't take so much effort at all, what he wants to do is to become a member of the film!

"Farewell My Concubine" is a work that can leave a name in film history, Zhang Chu does not have directing talent, so he can only settle for the second best thing and make himself a member of the producer.

In many awards for films, it is the producer who receives the honor, such as the highest awards of the three major European film festivals: the Berlin Golden Bear, the Cannes Palme d'Or, the Venice Golden Lion, and the Oscars for Best Picture and Best Foreign Language Film.

"This is not a psychological crime, those commercial films, if "Farewell My Concubine" is really filmed, it will be difficult to make a profit in the existing market environment, and losses are doomed. I don't want to cheat you, and now I don't want to let this old face go and just pull a few small film companies to invest. ”

Zhang Chu said confidently: "Then you will bring this one with you, and it is estimated that it will be easy to convince those companies." I hope to have at least 20% of the investment, of which 5% will be covered by adaptation rights. The remaining 15% is based on the investment of all of you, and I still have a lot of spare money here!"

It's definitely not going to be a waste, Zhang Chu doesn't expect this movie to make much profit, so Xu Ji doesn't worry about that at all.

"Sure enough, I'm a little older, and I don't have the momentum of you young people. ”

Xu Ji suddenly raised his head and said arrogantly: "Since you are not afraid of losing money, then what am I worried about." As long as you talk about your original book and the things you participate in the investment, you can at least attract a lot of people. ”

"Isn't this enough! You can discuss the specific contract content with my company, and then it will be based on my Hanlin Culture Media. ”

"Then it's decided!" Xu Ji patted the chair.

……

So three days later, Ye Shumei signed a shareholding agreement with Director Xu Ji's studio on behalf of Hanlin Culture Media, which can be regarded as really implementing it.

Among the 50 million yuan investment in the whole movie, Hanlin Culture invested 10 million yuan, and the adaptation rights of "Farewell My Concubine" were equivalent to 2.5 million yuan, but the actual investment was only 7.5 million.

It's not that Zhang Chu can't come up with more money, the main thing is that he wants to attract more companies to participate in the investment of the film, so that they can better integrate resources.

In modern film investment, the phenomenon of eating alone almost does not exist, and everyone diversifies the risk.

Director Xu Ji's studio has not yet received the funds, but it does not prevent them from releasing the news and using this news to seek funds to join.

But now it's their turn to find fault with others, it's not enough to just take the money, you have to have other resources, such as shooting locations, equipment or publicity, and theaters, all of which can help the film succeed.

[Xu Jifengshan's work was exposed, the new work "Farewell My Concubine" was adapted by Zhang Chu with the same name, the film has been successfully established, and the filming time and main actors have not yet been announced!]

[Hand in hand for the second time, Xu Ji and Zhang Chu jointly performed the quintessence of Peking Opera!]

[Zhang Chu's new work has been officially announced, and the film adaptation rights have been successfully sold!]

["Farewell My Concubine" is coming, when Xu Ji meets Zhang Chu, this movie is worth looking forward to]

[Psychological Crime 2 is temporarily stranded, Xu Ji wants to shoot Zhang Chu's new book!]

[Booming, your Zhang Chuda is about to release a new book again! The content of the new book is actually ......]

[The omnipotent Zhang Chu, what other types he can't write?]

With the news revealed by Director Xu Ji's studio, the media almost fell into a frenzy!

The news of Xu Ji's filming of Fengshan has been spreading, but he has not received a positive response before, and he has not even explained about the sequel to the "Psychological Crime" movie.

As a result, the news came out of nowhere, which was really surprising.

What is Farewell My Concubine?

Could it be that Xu Ji wants to shoot ancient war films?

It is said that the story of the overlord of Western Chu has spread very widely, and his battle with Liu Bang from the end of the Qin Dynasty to the final self-slaughter on the bank of the Wujiang River is legendary, with all kinds of idioms, proverbs, and poems.

However, judging from the name, this seems to be a work that tells the love story of Xiang Yu and Yu Ji.

This is just one aspect, but another name was accidentally mixed in, Zhang Chu's name?

When did this guy write "Farewell My Concubine"?

Countless questions were born in the minds of netizens, and the answers were as hazy as a layer of fog.

……

Xue Yitao looked at the news of the headline release in surprise, he really didn't expect that Zhang Chu would write a new work during this time!

"Damn, what the hell is going on?"

The previous "Sou Shen Ji" was also serialized on the Internet, although the physical book has been sold for more than a month, but Xue Yitao does not like to read physical books, he still subscribes on the origin Chinese online.

Even if the ending of the story has been spoiled by a group of little, the process in the middle is still very attractive, so Xue Yitao did not give up the subscription and insisted on watching it every day.

Fortunately, Zhang Chu is also relatively upright, and there is no delay after so many drafts, and it continues to be updated with 10,000 words every day, which makes many readers on the Internet addicted!

Because Xue Yitao likes Zhang Chu, without watching "Psychological Crime", he went to the cinema to support the movie of the same name.

He had also heard about Xu Ji's name many times, and this strong alliance was of course a surprise.

It's just that the reports on the Internet are divided into several factions now, and they don't know much about the subject matter of "Farewell My Concubine".

Some media believe that this is an ancient war love story comparable to "Gone with the Wind" and "Broken Blue Bridge", and the story of Xiang Yu and Yu Ji is already very touching.

Because Xu Ji collected a lot of Peking Opera themes before, and the script was not concealed, some media thought that Zhang Chu's "Farewell My Concubine" was such a Peking Opera story, who made the singing section of Farewell My Concubine in Peking Opera also very famous?

Xue Yitao didn't know which media to believe, in short, he was full of curiosity in his heart, and he couldn't wait to find out quickly!

He said to himself: "Could it be that Zhang Chuda has quietly released a new book again?"

As he spoke, he searched for the word "Farewell My Concubine" with a Qiandu browser, but what made Xue Yitao a little disappointed was that there was no content in these entries and news.

What historical allusions, what songs, what TV series, what King Glory hero skin, what Peking Opera classic tracks, what stand-alone games, just didn't follow the movie!

He was a little unwilling, and searched for the words "Farewell My Concubine to Zhang Chu" again, but this time a lot of news popped up, but these news were all hot in the last hour, and they were of no practical use at all!

"This secrecy is too good, if only Zhuo Wei could squat and guard Zhang Chu, no one has exposed such a big news. ”

Xue Yitao clicked the mouse and looked at the comments under these news, and found that the opinions of netizens were almost the same, and everyone was waiting for Zhang Chu and Xu Ji's official statements!
