Chapter 60: Three Cautionary Sayings
The car stopped in the crew, Shao Gong and Ouyang Ke got out of the car and entered the crew directly. www.biquge.info On the venue outside the crew of "The Legend of Sword and Fairy", there were five men in black and sunglasses standing, they didn't say a word, they just looked at the fairy sword crew from a distance, but there were also some people in the crew who looked at them indifferently, it was Ouyang Ke's younger brother, they came to the crew to fight the stand-in properly, the two sides looked at each other coldly, and an invisible pressure emanated from them.
At this time, a good car drove quickly towards the crew, and then after parking the car at the crew's entry point, Shao Gong and Ouyang Ke got out of the car, and the little brother in the crew looked at it, with joy on their faces, their backbones came back, and when the other party looked at the two people, two of them immediately subconsciously took two steps back.
Seeing them, the corners of Shaogong's mouth showed a slight sneer, because two of those people had been in contact with Shaogong in Beiwu, and those two had also tasted Shaogong's fist, so they were particularly impressed by him.
"Go tell your boss and ask him to set a time and place, and we will be on time. ”
After saying this, Shao Gong and Ouyang Ke entered the crew, and they didn't look at those people. And those people got this sentence and obediently retreated.
As soon as he saw Shaogong coming, Hu Mingkai immediately greeted him, for those people outside the crew, they appeared on the third day after Shaogong left, and they were handled by Ouyang Ke at the earliest, but after he contacted those people, he brought in an invitation letter, for the people on this invitation letter, Hu Mingkai couldn't call the shots without authorization, so he asked Ouyang Ke to go to the capital in person, and told him to bring Shaogong back.
Several female leading actors also know about that invitation letter, among which Lu Yi and Sun Lihua are no strangers to Cai Dasheng, because this is the person who has pursued them before, but Sun Lihua is living in the school, and the drama is also very hard, so Cai Dasheng didn't dare to come there. But Lu Yi is different, the weakness of the principal of Beiwu made Cai Dasheng actually send someone to make trouble inside, if Shao Gong hadn't helped Lu Yi that time, she would probably have been taken away directly by those two people.
Hu Mingkai explained the reason to him, Shaogong nodded, and said with a smile: "Isn't it just a dinner? Then Shao Gong asked Hu Mingkai to call a few female leading actors, but when he saw them, Shao Gong was obviously stunned, those people were among Liu Yifei's mother Liu Xiaoli, and even Chen Jinfei was also listed.
"Why is it that even Mr. Chen is here, you are a rare guest!"
Seeing that Chen Jinfei was also among those people, Shao Gong shook hands with him. Chen Jinfei smiled helplessly: "Then Cai Dasheng has some power in Hainan, and most of my business is still in Hainan now, he and I have always been at odds with each other in business, although we will be polite to each other when we meet, but we have been secretly competing." So I know Cai Dasheng's personality very well, he is a person who makes any tricks for himself. And he sent an invitation, and among them was Sissi, so I couldn't help but come. If you're going to an appointment, Sissi's mother can go, but I'll definitely go. ”
"I see, I see. ”
Shao Gong nodded, looked at Hu Mingkai and said, "How far has it been filmed." ”
"The exterior scenes have all been filmed, and now the plot is nearing the end. ”
Hu Mingkai confessed to the truth: "The scene between Lu Yi and Li Chen has been filmed, and after Li Chen has eaten the finale, he has already reported to other crews. When it was Lu Yi, there were outsiders guarding her, and she didn't dare to leave. ”
"I see. ”
Shao Gong listened and looked at Lu Yiyi: "Don't worry, you are the one I found to act, and we are responsible for the safety of the crew." Then he looked at the rest of the people and smiled: "Ladies and gentlemen, someone invited us to dinner, and you said we should not go!"
"I don't care. ”
Liu actually waved his hand, he believed in Shaogong's strength, with him, their own safety would be no problem.
"You're in charge. ”
Sun Lihua doesn't care. She is now a coquettish son in the play, she is very famous in the class, and she has been filming before she leaves school, but many students are very envious. And all this was given to her by Shaogong, treating friends, Shaogong cast a peach on her, and she could repay her.
It was Liu Yifei, her face was childish, and she said with a displeased expression: "I have practiced taekwondo, which is enough to protect myself." As he spoke, he kicked at Shaogong. Seeing her kick in front of her, Shao Gong's fingers flicked on her calf to defuse the offensive, and its strength made her directly calf a little numb, and she involuntarily pushed back, if it wasn't for Liu's mother holding her, she would have to fall.
"Sister Xiuzhu, just your flower fist and embroidered legs are helpful for the filming scene, but do you want to talk about beating people??"
After becoming friends with Liu Yifei, Shao Gong knew that she was a combination of pungent and introverted, and when she was with a good friend, her temperament was a little spicy, but when she was alone and faced with the media, she would automatically turn into an introvert, and her spicy personality was sometimes very reckless, and her temperament was completely like a little boy. Seeing that she was unconvinced, Shao Gong shrugged his shoulders and said, "Even if you practice for another hundred years, it's not enough to see." Saying that, he said to Hu Mingkai: "The crew and actors have worked hard these days, and now they will return to the station to rest." After that, he said to Ouyang Ke: "Brother Ke, take care of our people." ”
As soon as he heard this, Ouyang Ke knew that this kid must want to go to the meeting alone: "Are you okay alone??"
"Nope. Shao Gong acted indifferent, and his tone was full of confidence.
"Looks like we need to hire new people. ”
Ouyang Ke smiled bitterly: "I have a lawyer friend, and I will invite her to come to our company in a few days." Hearing this, Shao Gong pulled him to the distance and asked softly, "Is it a member of the Scarlet Fangs again?"
Ouyang Ke nodded: "She is the only female member of the fangs, and after leaving the three provincial capitals, she went to school for further study, and it is said that she is now a lawyer." But was she before??" Speaking of this, Ouyang Ke infinitely remembered: "She is my girlfriend, we called her back then: Night Shura, her fighting skills are not inferior to Liu Yong, and the dagger assassination technique is trained by me personally, our company has no legal counsel, which is a major weakness." ”
"Okay, Brother Ke can arrange it. ”
After Shao Gong finished speaking, he went back to his residence. Ouyang Ke arranged his subordinates to escort the actors back to the station. And he and Hu Mingkai arranged for the staff to pack up their things and go back to the station.
At five or six o'clock in the afternoon, the other party sent an invitation letter to their station again, and then Shao Gong led the people who were going to the banquet to set off, the car they took was a luxury car specially arranged by Chen Jinfei, and the place of appointment was a super entertainment city in Dongyang City that integrates catering and leisure, located in a prime location, very prosperous around, and the main body of consumption can be seen from the various high-end cars in its parking lot.
After getting out of the car, looking at this very luxurious hotel, Shao Gong felt that Cai Dasheng's choice of such a meeting place was somewhat extravagant, but it was not him who paid for it anyway, even if people chose to invite guests in the Forbidden City, they didn't care about him.
In the hall, there were special personnel to receive them, and the group followed a man in black and sunglasses up to the third floor, and the man said to them: "This floor has been taken down by several bosses, you can have a meal here to your heart's content, and no outsiders will come up to disturb you." ”
"Isn't it magnanimous??"
"There. ”
The man smiled embarrassedly and bitterly, because he was one of the people who was beaten by Shao Gong in Beiwu: "Mr. Ou's ability brother has been taught, and your dream voyage is in the capital, which can be described as prosperous, so the bosses dare not slack off." ”
As they said this, they stopped in a rather large private room, and the man opened the door and made an inviting gesture.
As soon as Shao Gong entered the door, the first thing he saw was Cai Dasheng's fat figure, as soon as he saw the arrival of the main master, Cai Dasheng personally greeted him, laughed and shook Shao Gong's hand: "Welcome, welcome, Shao Gong's brother is really our distinguished guest!
"Where, where, it's just a fluke. ”
Shao Gong said politely to him: "It's just that there are some good scripts, and they just became popular unexpectedly." Hearing him say this, Chen Youde, the boss of Dongying Film and Television Company, Chen Youde, who was beside him, snorted coldly, he had some impressions of Ouyang Shaogong, this kid stopped his car outside the Beijing Film Studio back then, but he didn't expect that a few years later, he turned over and became the boss of the film and television company, and his own talent and reputation were even higher than him.
Seeing that Chen Youde was actually there, Shao Gong greeted him: "I didn't expect Teacher Chen to be there, the students still remember the hurried farewell back then!"
"There......"
Chen Youde stood up and shook his hand: "Please forgive me for the rudeness back then." Although he was very unconvinced, he still had to give face to others, after all, he is now the boss of the company, and his identity is the same as his boss, and he is only the director and screenwriter signed by Dongying Film and Television Company, and his identity can no longer be compared with Ouyang Shaogong.
"Why are you everywhere!"
Subsequently, Chen Jinfei also came in, and when Cai Dasheng saw this, his face fell, and after a moment, he changed to a smiling face and said: "Mr. Chen is such a busy person, but he is a rare guest!" Then he looked at Liu Yifei who came in, and said with a smile: "The eldest niece is also here, welcome." As he spoke, he was going to give her a hug.
Seeing this fat man like this, Chen Jinfei hurriedly pulled Liu Yifei behind him, hugged each other with Cai Dasheng and said: "It's rare that Mr. Cai invited our family Qianqian to dinner, how can I, who is an uncle, not come!"
"Hehe, it's really a calf protector, it seems to be a strange commodity to live in!"
Cai Dasheng's face was displeased, but when he saw Lu Yi and Sun Lihua in the back, he hurriedly welcomed them in, and then everyone took their seats one by one, Chen Jinfei was on the far left, and then Liu Yifei was next to him, Sun Lihua was next to Liu Yifei, Lu Yi was next to Sun Lihua, and Shaogong was next to Lu Yi.
Everyone sat down one by one, and Cai Dasheng introduced Shao Gong to those who were in addition to Zhou Tian, and those people also nodded to Shao Gong, and the two sides knew each other. Then a rather flamboyant-looking waiter began to pour red wine for everyone, since everyone knew each other, Shao Gong covered the cup and said to the waiter: "I don't drink with the ladies, let's bring us a glass of orange juice." ”
"The orange juice is good, I just brought it!"
As soon as he heard this, Chen Jinfei took out two bottles of orange juice from his work bag and handed them to Shao Gong, "Freshly squeezed orange juice, drinking this is absolutely good for your body." ”
"Well, we don't allow you to bring your own drinks here. Seeing that this master came so much, the waiter hurriedly went over and apologized: "We have drinks here??"
"We didn't bring it, we bought you. ”
Chen Jinfei took out a few hundred-yuan bills and stuffed them to her, and when she saw the tip, the waiter naturally accepted it, and he didn't ask about the orange juice, and then he said to the waiter: "Pour me the bottle of '82 Lafite you took. ”
Seeing the two of them like this, Cai Dasheng's face was a little unbearable, and he said to Shaogong and Chen Jinfei: "Both, I'm not here for the Hongmen Banquet, is it necessary to do this?"
"I really don't drink easily. ”
Shao Gong said helplessly: "Because I used to be drunk, I know that feeling, it's really uncomfortable." ”
"It's the same with us. ”
The three ladies said in unison.
"Let them be, young people!"
Chen Jinfei said with a smile: "I drink alcohol, especially Mr. Cai's bottle of 82-year-old Lafite, I will definitely taste it." ”
"Okay, okay, just feel free, everybody. ”
Cai Dasheng waved his hand and asked people to serve the food, and a minute later, all the four meats, three vegetables and five cold dishes were served, and then the waiters and waiters all withdrew. Seeing that everyone had something in their cups, Cai Dasheng stood up and raised his glass and said, "Let's gather together, that's fate, come, do this cup." ”
"Dry ......"
"Dry ......"
The two parties clinked glasses to each other and drank the wine and drink from the glasses.
After drinking the first cup, everyone sat back again, Shaogong poured himself a drink, looked at Zhou Tiandao: "Mr. Zhou, our "No Thieves in the World", this time we still have to cooperate with Shine." ”
"Haha, definitely. ”
Zhou Tian smiled: "But the stone brother made a lot of money last time, and my brother and I are almost busy in vain, so there are no thieves in the world this time, and the brother's budget box office can't be used to recover the cost!!"
"Last time, it was because it was the first time to make a movie, and it was a small-budget film, so I already had high expectations that the box office would be able to recover its costs. My brother also agreed with this at the time. ”
"Yes, I completely agree with your point of view before the release, but after the release, the heat of the stone is unstoppable, and now the fame of the elder brother and Menghang is increasing day by day, I believe that after the release of this world-free thief, with the fame of the elder brother and the momentum of Menghang, this movie will definitely be unstoppable again. ”
"I dare not say it again, but it will definitely make money, and the cost of our investment in filming plus post-production and publicity is 30 million, so I expect the box office to be 80 million this time, what does my brother think. ”
Hearing the box office estimate of 80 million, Zhou Tian frowned and said: "30 million investment, 80 million box office, and a full 50 million profit, this estimate is not reasonable according to the current market, and it is a bit overestimated." But I believe in my brother's vision, even if you say 100 million box office, I will raise my hands in favor. ”
"100 million, my brother is really Zhang Yimou and Chen Kaige!"
Shao Gong smiled and shook his head: "Hengdian now has Director Chen in the production of "Wuji", it is said that the investment alone is more than 340 million, and that is a big production! The eye-catching cast is not something we can compare, so it is not too much for people to expect a box office of 500 million, but brother, my 30 million movie, the only famous actors are Andy Lau in Hong Kong and Mr. Ge You in the mainland, in front of the real big investment of others, they are like children, and the box office of 80 million is already the peak.
Moreover, the revenue of the cinema chain is divided into box office revenue and non-box office revenue. As far as I know, the domestic cinema box office share only accounts for 30% of the total revenue, and the remaining 70% is non-box office income. So the more popular our movies are, the more lucrative my brother's income will be, don't you say?"
"Hehe, brother's brain is really bright. ”
When Shao Gong said this, Zhou Tian could only smile awkwardly, because what Shao Gong said was the truth, although he only received 30,000 yuan at the box office of the stone, the extra profits brought by the hot stone to him were definitely more than 3 million.
"Let's talk about the movie separately, if it's not bad, let's talk about it according to the brothers. ”
He can also make a lot of money at the box office of 80 million, plus additional profits, if this world is no thief and no more popular, his additional profits will be even more. But now is not the occasion to talk about business, after all, there are others present!
Seeing him like this, Shao Gong looked at the rest of the people: "I don't know what you are doing when you invite us to come!" With all due respect, my crew is catching up with the filming progress, and we are not free every day, for this dinner, our crew is taking a day off, so please explain something today. ”
Hearing this, Cai Dasheng colored Chen Guangjun, the boss of Dongying, and asked him to speak first. And the other party and Chen Shangmao, the boss of Brilliant Film and Television, glanced at each other, and Zhang Guangjun took the lead and said: " My brother's dream voyage is unique in the capital, the brother's family has a big business, and every time he shoots a film, he will make a lot of money, unlike my brother and Lao Chen's company, we haven't made a film and television drama alone for two years now, and the current film industry is sluggish Brother also knows, so I and Lao Chen's film and television company are just investors in other people's films at the moment, hoping to make some money with a small Boda, after all, the two of us don't have a talent like a brother, and we can make money for every film we make. ”
"yes!"
Chen Shangmao also sighed: "We also have signed artists, although when investors can find a way for their artists, let the artists get some roles in other people's plays." But this is not a long-term solution after all, if you want to make your company famous and artists popular, you have to have your own popular and popular works. So our two brothers want to co-produce a movie with our brother, or buy my brother's script at a high price, and it's no problem to shoot it ourselves, of course, buying the script is a price, and there is also a brother's commission after the box office hit. ”
Seeing these two spitting bitterness, Shao Gong's face was embarrassed: "Seriously, the little brother's prosperity is all based on a moment of luck, although he can be popular for a while, but it is impossible to be popular for a lifetime, in the movie industry, no one dares to make money by filming films made with chest bags, and now there are many movies that have lost money." Brothers invest alone, and the losses and earnings are their own, but if you pull others to invest together, everyone will naturally be happy together, but if you lose!"
As soon as these words came out, Zhang Guangjun and Chen Shangmao suddenly choked, and Shao Gong said with a bitter face: "The current film industry is like walking on thin ice like the stock market, although many people in the stock market in the nineties made money, and more people gathered together to invest big when they saw their friends making money, but as a result, you also know that when you earn, hello, I am hello, everyone, and I am good to be close to my relatives." But when the loss was made, everyone cried and shouted, and even many people sued their trading friends in court, saying that they were deceived when they invested, and some of them went bankrupt and borrowed usury, and jumped off the building directly to return to the netherworld. Those are all lessons of blood!"
Shao Gong picked up the drink and took a sip, poured himself another cup and sighed: "Didn't there be these three sentences in the nineties?
These three sentences have always been my warning words, because playing mahjong with my mother-in-law, I can't win or lose, and I have to shoot more, after all, who dares to win my mother-in-law! That wife is not allowed to fight with herself! As for women who think more than themselves, they always have their own ideas in their hearts, and they will always be stronger than themselves, so the enemy is strong and I am weak, so it is better not to be together, because that is destined to cause contradictions. As for the third sentence, it is because of the partnership problem, although everyone is happy together when they make money, there is also an uneven distribution of profits, and everyone is unhappy when they lose money, accusing each other of having no ability and cheating brothers.
So in the face of the problem of co-making movies, brother and I have always been responsible for myself, success or failure is my own business, whether it is a lot of money now, or I will jump off the building in the future, that is also my own business, and it will never affect friends, the younger brother said this, the two brothers must understand the painstaking efforts of the younger brother!"
In the face of Shaogong's words, Dongying boss Chen Guangjun and brilliant boss Chen Shangmao were also dumbfounded.
