"Invest 100 million yuan to make a cross-era movie for Zhong Chuhong. ”

Su Chenyu's words were like a nuclear bomb, which set off a monstrous wave in the entire cocktail party, and everyone whispered in disbelief.

"100 million, how can you spend so much money, is it a deception?" a little star whispered.

"I think it's just a publicity stunt, and it's all bragging. ”

"It must be fake, if you really invest 100 million, then the box office must be at least 300 million or more to not lose money. Otherwise, you will lose all your money!"

……

Listening to the gossip of the people around him, Su Chenyu was not angry or surprised at all, but on the contrary, his face was indifferent.

However, Zhong Chuhong couldn't stand still, she didn't care what others talked about her, but she couldn't bear the ridicule of others about Su Chenyu. Zhong Chuhong just wanted to open her mouth to defend herself, but Su Chenyu's eyes to dissuade her had already arrived, so she swallowed back the words that were immediately spoken.

There is no doubt that Zhang Yanyu, Mei Yanfang and Ye Qianwen were also aware of the surrounding situation and were all a little caught off guard.

Especially Zhang Yanyu, she didn't expect that because she actually caused such a big trouble to Su Chenyu and Zhong Chuhong, she couldn't help but look at Su Chenyu and Zhong Chuhong with some embarrassment.

"Of course, it's impossible to make you believe in me now that Miss Zhang is, let's wait and see. Su Chenyu said to Zhang Yanyu with a smile.

As soon as Zhang Yanyu heard Su Chenyu say this, the "little temper" came up again, and said with an indifferent face: "That girl will keep her eyes open and wait well." ”

Although this was just a small episode of this company cocktail party, it caused a shocking earthquake in the Hong Kong entertainment industry.

When the curtain came to a successful conclusion and everyone left, the news of "100 million investment in making movies" quickly "flowed" among major newspapers with wings.

Of course, some of this was unintentionally revealed, and some of them were sinister competitive tactics by some people - some competitors with ulterior motives deliberately "revealed" to close newspapers to attack the new Su Entertainment Media.

As a result, the headlines of the entertainment pages of almost all the newspapers in Hong Kong the next day were the same content - Su Entertainment Media first waded into the water and invested 100 million yuan to create Zhong Chuhong's strongest film.

The news quickly swept through the streets of Hong Kong like a virus, and became a topic of conversation after dinner.

A day later, media outlets in Asian countries such as Taiwan, Singapore, Malaysia, Thailand, Japan and South Korea all picked up the news.

Of course, the reaction to this varies from place to place -

Taiwan, Singapore, Malaysia and Thailand, and other traditional dumping places for Hong Kong films, all of them are waiting for the press conference of the new film with anticipation, while the Japanese media are actively urging their own filmmakers to work harder while truthfully reporting the news, and South Korea is full of doubts.

Just when the outside world was talking about this matter, Zhong Chuhong, as one of the parties involved, was not affected in the slightest.

was first captured by reporters and a mysterious man night in Pu Lan Kwai Fong, and then it was reported that Zhong Chuhong appeared in Central and attended the opening ceremony of a beauty shop with Xiang Tai Chen Lan. Although the reporter chased Zhong Chuhong many times to find out what was going on, he was prevaricated by the experienced Zhong Chuhong one by one.

I have to praise the professionalism of the Hong Kong entertainment reporters, although they didn't get any news from Zhong Chuhong at that time, nor did they get any inside information from Shum Jianxun. The ubiquitous "paparazzi" relied on their perseverance to finally catch the big news.

So when everyone slowly forgot about this incident, "Sing Tao Daily" broke the big news - Cen Jianxun made an appointment with Wu Yusen, and the director of the 100 million yuan film seemed to have been decided.

This news is like the second big bomb dropped by the US military to the island country, and it instantly caused a huge shock in the entertainment industry.

Su Chenyu took today's "Sing Tao Daily" and sat leisurely in Lu Yu's tearoom drinking tea, and Zhong Chuhong with a happy face sat beside him.

"When do you ask them to meet?" Zhong Chuhong took the newspaper from Su Chenyu's hand, and then said with some anger.

Su Chenyu turned his head to look at the delicate Zhong Chuhong, knowing that he had snubbed the beauty, so he grabbed her slender waist and said with a smile: "I have to wait for a while." Let's come early to enjoy the afternoon. ”

As soon as Su Chenyu's words fell, Cen Jianxun led a middle-aged man in. Cen Jianxun walked in and took a look, and secretly said that he was confused, so he hurried forward and said a little embarrassedly: "Mr. Su and Honggu came so early? I'm sorry, I'm late." ”

"It's okay, it's early for us. You may be seated. Su Chenyu waved his hand, smiled and said to Cen Jianxun and the man in the suit beside him, "Mr. Cen, don't you want to introduce me?"

Cen Jianxun, who had just sat down, got up again, and after talking, he pointed to the man in a suit with a "cool" face next to him and said, "This is Wu Yusen, the director of "The True Color of Heroes". ”

Su Chenyu already recognized this cool man in a suit as soon as he entered the door, isn't this the great director Wu Yusen, who is not guaranteed to be late and made the funny film "Red Cliff"?

Su Chenyu looked at Wu Yusen, who looked cool on the other side, and didn't know if he was pretending to be cool or really cool, so he waved his hand to signal Cen Jianxun that he didn't need to introduce him, and he stretched out his hand and said with a smile: "Hello, Director Wu, I have admired my name for a long time." I am Su Chenyu, the behind-the-scenes investor of Su's Media. This one doesn't need to be introduced, Zhong Chuhong, you should know it. ”

"That's nature, Director Wu who doesn't know. Zhong Chuhong said with a smile: "It's just that I haven't had the opportunity to cooperate with Director Wu." ”

Wu Yusen saw Su Chenyu stretch out his hand, quickly stood up and held Su Chenyu's hand, and then said, "Hello, don't dare to be, don't dare to be." I've always wanted to work with Honggu once. ”

Su Chenyu looked at the cool Wu Yusen and smiled in his heart, he was now sure that this person was definitely pretending to be cool, because he obviously felt the sweat in his palms when shaking hands.

"Mr. Wu, I won't say more polite words, just get straight to the point. Su Chenyu's face turned pale, looked at Wu Yusen and said, "Mr. Cen should have explained my intention to you, right?"

"Yes, Mr. Cen has already told me. ”

"Then what do you mean?" Su Chenyu said as he looked at Wu Yusen in front of him and seemed to be careless.

Wu Yusen was stunned for a moment, and couldn't help but think of the current situation analysis that his wife did for himself last night.

Although Wu Yusen has become a big director in the Chinese film industry with "The True Color of Heroes" and "Bloody Heroes", his situation is not very good now.

As we all know, Wu Yusen and Xu Ke turned out to be a pair of good friends, but as the differences between the two film concepts have become bigger and bigger, good friends have become strangers.

Take last year's "Bloody Heroes" filmed by Wu Yusen as an example, although it has the name of Xu Ke's studio, it has nothing to do with him, it is an investment brought by Zhou Yanfa.

There may be no shortage of companies looking for Wu Yusen to make films, but they are often films with low cost and average scripts.

Therefore, Wu Yusen's wife hopes that he can seize the opportunity of Su's Media Company, because this smart woman has already seen that this media company will definitely set foot in the film industry, and Wu Yusen will be a veteran at that time.

On top of that, the film that Shum asked Ng Yu-sum to shoot is the most expensive film in Hong Kong's history, and although the risks are huge, the benefits are also huge.

"Can I read the script first?"

Wu Yusen reacted suddenly, and secretly blamed himself for being distracted on such an important occasion.

Su Chenyu nodded with satisfaction, he admired Wu Yusen very much - if it was an ordinary director, he would have agreed to the opportunity to direct a film with an investment of 100 million. Su Chenyu glanced at Zhong Chuhong, Zhong Chuhong understood, took out the script from his bag and handed it to Wu Yusen and Cen Jianxun.

"Let's take a look. ”

Wu Yusen and Cen Jianxun respectfully took the script, only to see the words "Legend of the Night" written on it. Both of them are masters of film writing and directing, so they quickly finished reading the script.

Zhong Chuhong's version of "Legend of the Night" basically follows Kate?? The general plot of the Beckinsale version is just that the two races of vampires and werewolves in it have been changed.

On the other side, invisible to humans, there is a dark and mysterious underground world, where two hostile races are active: the aristocratic and mysterious and elusive zombie vampires, and the fierce and savage witches, who have fought for thousands of years to gain dominance of the underworld.

Chu Hong is the third generation of the four ancestors of the zombies, and she has always believed that the second generation of the Drought Clan told her that the evil and filthy Wu Clan was her enemy. So Chu Hong has always taken hunting the witch clan as her eternal belief, and in a hunting operation, she met a doctor, Mike, and in the process of interacting with Mike, she discovered a shocking secret. This shocking secret prompted the two races of zombies and witches to start a shocking showdown......

"How is it?" Su Chenyu looked at Wu Yusen, who was contemplative, and said: "Although this "Legend of the Night" is said to be a zombie movie, its essence and core are action, adventure and even gunfights, which should be very in line with your style, right?"

Wu Yusen thought for a while and then said his thoughts: "It's a very good script, but the requirements for stunts are very high, and the Hong Kong film industry can't do it at all." ”

"You don't have to worry about this, it will be solved after the film starts. Su Chenyu said very confidently: "Does Director Wu agree to direct this film?"

Although this 100 million yuan blockbuster is a dream for every director, Wu Yusen still thought about it very carefully. In the end, Wu Yusen gave an expected answer: "I agree to direct "Legend of the Night", but the premise is that the stunt problem of the film must be solved. ”

Su Chenyu smiled, and secretly said in his heart that this Wu Yusen is really a more serious master, so he replied with a whole face: "Don't worry, all the special effects of "Legend of the Night" will be responsible for Hollywood's industrial light and magic. ”

After listening to Su Chenyu's words, Wu Yusen was overjoyed, and then immediately understood why this movie would need to invest 100 million yuan - it is estimated that the special effects alone will take up most of it.

"Mr. Su, although it has been rumored that this movie has invested 100 million Hong Kong dollars, I don't know if it's true?" Wu Yusen still asked the question in his heart, he really never heard Cen Jianxun or Su Chenyu personally promise this.

Su Chenyu smiled, and then said: "100 million? Actually, when I say 100 million, I mean RMB, which means that the investment in this drama is about 200 million Hong Kong dollars. ”

"Huh?" Cen Jianxun and Wu Yusen were both speechless.

Shum Jianxun and Wu Yusen couldn't help but think that 200 million Hong Kong dollars is indeed the highest investment film since the opening of Hong Kong, and there will be no such a big investment for a long time.

Obviously, the two didn't know that just 5 years later, Golden Harvest spent 200 million Hong Kong dollars to shoot "Thunderbolt" for Cheng Long to break into Hollywood again.

"Don't be surprised, I only ask for the quality of the film, and as for the production fee, if it is not enough, I can increase it. Su Chenyu said.

Wu Yusen's face was excited, which director doesn't like to have a big financier behind him who invests regardless of the cost.

"In terms of the actor, does Mr. Wu have any ideas?"

Wu Yusen reacted from the ecstasy, and just wanted to say a name, but as soon as the words came to his mouth, Cen Jianxun beside him secretly pulled him under the table. Wu Yusen suddenly realized something, glanced at Cen Jianxun imperceptibly, and then looked at Su Chenyu and said, "Not for the time being, does Mr. Su have any good recommendations?"

"What do you think of Zhou Runfa?"

Although Wu Yusen's face did not show the slightest expression, he was happy in his heart, in fact, the candidate he wanted to recommend just now was his friend Zhou Yanfa.

Su Chenyu saw that Wu Yusen didn't say anything, and thought he didn't agree, you must know that many big directors don't like investors to meddle in the crew's affairs. Su Chenyu just wanted to spend a few words to explain, but he didn't expect Wu Yusen to say at this time: "Don't hide it from Mr. Su, in fact, the candidate in my heart is also Zhou Yanfa, but I didn't expect us to think of a piece." ”

This proves that the heroes see the same thing. Cen Jianxun thought that there would be some unpleasantness, but he didn't expect it to be such an ending, so he said with a smile.

"The rest of the roles will be decided by Mr. Wu and Mr. Shum. Su Chenyu didn't want to leave the impression that Wu Yusen was too involved in the crew, so he said.

Wu Yusen and Cen Jianxun hurriedly said: "Please rest assured, boss (Mr. Su), I will definitely do a good job." ”

"I still have a question, though. Su Chenyu asked Wu Yusen: "How long will it take for "Legend of the Night" to be filmed, and can it catch up with the Chinese New Year at the end of the year?"

"Nowadays, it usually takes a month or two to make a film in Hong Kong, and it only takes a few weeks to make a short movie. However, because the investment of "Tales of the Night" is too large, and the special effects required are also very large, it may take time to carve. However, there are about five months between now and the end of the year, and if you can guarantee the special effects and post-production, it will be completely sufficient. Wu Yusen replied after thinking about it.

"There will be no problems with special effects, and funding and other aspects will definitely be guaranteed. But I only have one request, and that is that "Tales of the Night" must be in time for the Chinese New Year at the end of the year and the Hong Kong Film Awards next year. Su Chenyu said solemnly.

After listening to this, Wu Yusen nodded solemnly - he took this "military order".

After talking about business, Su Chenyu asked Wu Yusen again: "Mr. Wu, I heard that your "Bloody Heroes" is about to be released?"

"Yes, I didn't expect Mr. Su to know about this. Wu Yusen said in surprise: "On the 6th of this month." ”

"Mr. Cen, we at Su's Cinema Line would like to vigorously support Mr. Wu. ”

Cen Jianxun immediately patted his chest and said, "Boss, rest assured, I will definitely support you." ”

Wu Yusen was naturally grateful. Subsequently, Su Chenyu, Zhong Chuhong, Cen Jianxun, and Wu Yusen chatted for a while, and then left in advance.

Su Chenyu was still the shopkeeper this time, and threw all the work of Zhong Chuhong's version of "Legend of the Night" to Cen Jianxun and Wu Yusen.

As for Su Chenyu, he is naturally at ease with the beauty......
