Chapter 107: Is There Allowed Two Reborn in One Plane (3)
Xu Zheng didn't come by himself, and there was a woman by his side. It was inconvenient for the crew to talk, but Mu Ming was really not used to drinking coffee, so in the end, the three of them found a teahouse and asked for a pot of tea, and then they sat down.
"Teacher Xu Zheng, who is this?" Mu Ming waited for the waiter to retreat, looked at the woman sitting next to Xu Zheng, and asked suspiciously. It's not Xiao Taohong, but the relationship between the two is still very close, and the tone doesn't look like an assistant or something. Mu Ming's evil mind flew around, wouldn't it......
"Hello producer Mu, my surname is Chen, Chen Zhixi, and I am a friend of Xu Zheng. The voice interrupted Mu Ming's blind thoughts, and the woman nodded slightly and introduced herself in a loud voice.
"Chen Zhixi?" is not only familiar, but also familiar with the name, who is it? The memory flashed brightly, and Mu Ming suddenly realized: "Oh, it turned out to be Producer Chen." No wonder, Xu Zheng will take her with her, this is the original project founder and investor of "Thai Embarrassment".
Chen Zhixi first entered the film and television industry as an actor, but only played a few roles, and then transformed into an agent, producer and investor. She said in the interview that being an actor can only adapt to the rules, but being an investment producer can create rules, anyway, the family has money.
Not only is his family rich, but as an investor in the film and television industry, Chen Zhixi's vision is also accurate and abnormal. Not counting the previous works, since "Thai Embarrassment", this sister has participated in projects such as "Breakup Master", "Pancake Man", "Detective Chinatown......
The Jade Emperor is great, can one world accommodate two reborn sons of the plane?
Chen Zhixi and Xu Zheng have also been friends for many years, and the two have worked together several times. The project "Thai Embarrassment" has been approved twice before, but unfortunately both failed. Chen Zhixi read the script, and after revising part of the plot, he resolutely decided to reopen the project, and also helped Xu Zheng to pull investment around.
"Does Producer Mu know Xiao Chen?" asked Xu Zheng curiously.
"Teacher Xu Zheng, just call me Mu Ming. Mu Ming said politely: "When I chatted with Brother Bo, I heard him talk about it." See you today, I am glad to see you. Anyway, Huang Bo is not here, so Mu Ming will put all the problems on him.
Xu Zheng and Chen Zhixi didn't ask in detail, the two of them flew all the way to Hengdian not to chat. After a few procedural polite words to each other, we went straight to the point.
"Can I read the script first?" Mu Ming looked at the two of them. Before the official shooting of a work, the script will be revised countless times, and even after the start of filming, it will still be constantly revised. So although Mu Ming already knows the plot of the "Thai Embarrassment" movie, he still wants to see the current script first, what is the difference between his memory.
"Of course. Xu Zheng nodded, took out the script that had been prepared in the bag and handed it to Mu Ming. Seeing that Mu Ming began to flip through it, he glanced at Chen Zhixi, but did not make a sound, took a sip of tea, and quietly waited for Mu Ming to finish reading.
Mu Ming was recalling the final plot of the movie in her mind, and at the same time comparing it with the script in her hand. Basically, except for some details, the general plot is the same as in my memory, and it seems that this is almost the final draft.
"One more role for the leading actor?" Mu Ming asked, looking at the script.
"Yes. This "Thai Embarrassment" is actually based on the story of "People in Embarrassment" as the framework, but "Ren Embarrassment" is coming back, and "Thai Embarrassment" is going out, if there are only two people, many plots will seem too deliberate. So, another side character has been added. When it comes to the storyline, Xu Zheng is obviously full of vitality.
"Then, the three people who starred in this role, Xu Lang must be Teacher Xu Zheng, this baby should be Wang Baoqiang, and this Gao Bo is ......" Mu Ming asked.
"It's Huang Bo. This time it was Chen Zhixi who replied.
Mu Ming nodded with a knowing expression. No way, as an investor, it seems a bit disrespectful not to ask these questions, although he knows all about them in his heart.
Hey, walking the rivers and lakes, it all depends on acting skills.
I don't know if it's too late to sign up for a Nortel Chinese opera seminar now.
"Teacher Xu Zheng, Wang Baoqiang, and Brother Bo, this combination has a strong appeal. Mu Ming sighed.
"That's right, in fact, just the combination of the three of them can support at least 200 million at the box office. Chen Zhixi obviously agreed with Mu Ming's sigh and said quite confidently. But in an instant, he said angrily again: "But there are some people who always only believe in those old brands and don't look at the market at all." ”
"Ahem!" Xu Zheng coughed dryly, reminding the indignant Chen Zhixi that there were still outsiders here. Mu Ming picked up the teacup in time to hide her smile, it seems that these two have a lot of complaints about the film and television companies that rejected them.
"By the way, Producer Chen, I don't know if there is a detailed script plan?" Mu Ming asked. He has always been the character of "there must be a road before the car reaches the mountain", but for film and television projects, you really can't do it without planning. So he's now getting used to making a plan first and then starting to prepare.
"No, because the background of the story is in Thailand, and you need to start contacting after the project is prepared, so there are many places that can't be planned now. Chen Zhixi frowned.
"That's right. Mu Ming didn't care, she wasn't in a hurry: "What is the approximate production cost?"
"About 40 million. Chen Zhixi thought about it and said: "I invested 5 million, and Xu Zheng will use the salary of the director and starring to offset the investment, so I still need about 33 million funds." Like Teng Huatao when he filmed "33 Days of Broken Love", Xu Zheng also chose to use his salary to offset his investment. Some earn when you win, and you can't lose ruthlessly if you lose.
Mu Ming has a lot of ideas about "Thai Embarrassment", after all, as the first Chinese-language film to break the box office of one billion, it is needless to mention that it has a great influence. After thinking for a few seconds, Mu Ming said: "Teacher Xu Zheng, Producer Chen, I have invested in this work, and it will not be less than 30% of the total funds." However, I can only represent myself for the time being, and as for the perfect film and television, I still need to discuss it again. ”
"It should. Hearing Mu Ming's affirmative words, Xu Zheng and Chen Zhixi glanced at each other and showed joy. After all, with Mu Ming's 30% investment, even if Perfect Film and Television does not agree to produce in the end, when they talk to other companies, the success rate is much greater.
The purpose of coming was achieved, Xu Zheng and Chen Zhixi suddenly relaxed a lot, and the topic of the three of them slowly chatted. Unconsciously talked about "The Legend of Lu Zhen", but I didn't expect Xu Zheng and Chen Zhixi to know Zhao Liying. That's right, "Ouchi Low Hand" was filmed with these two, and Xiao Zhao is more or less a female first there.
Chen Zhixi and Xiao Zhao's friendship was unexpectedly good, I heard that she was filming, and strongly asked to go and see it. Mu Ming is naturally indispensable, and seeing that Xu Zheng has no objection, he took the two back to the crew. It's almost noon, so let's have a meal together and deepen our relationship.
