When Chen Jialuo hurried to the film studio with the script he had stayed up late to complete, the beautiful woman at the front desk stopped the way with a smile: "Hello, sir, is there anything wrong?"

It seems that the film studio has a decent appearance, and the last time I went to Yidu, I happened to meet Xu You, but this time I didn't expect to be set up in a curfew.

Chen Jialuo smiled: "My surname is Chen, and I have an appointment with Mr. Xu You." ”

Du Fei'er said politely: "It's Director Chen Jialuo, right? Hello, Mr. Xu You is already waiting for you in the conference room." ”

"Okay!"

It's not an office, it's a conference room. With a full of confusion, Chen Jialuo followed Du Feier to the meeting room of the film studio.

"Arlo is here!"

The meeting room was full of smoke and miasma, and at first glance it was like smoking a lot. Xu You saw Chen Jialuo and said with a smile: "Come, let me introduce to you, Chen Xiaodong, a well-known martial arts instructor of TSB, you should be no stranger!"

In the small conference room, Xu You and Mu Nan and his wife were there, plus Chen Xiaodong, all of them looked haggard. If you look at the mess of paper on the table, or even some of the original manuscripts of the storyboards, you don't have to think about them to know that they are chatting all night about a certain movie script.

Chen Xiaodong stood up, stretched out his hand and said, "Hello Jialuo, I'm Chen Xiaodong." ”

For Chen Xiaodong, who has directed TV series and movies such as "The Legend of the Condor Heroes", and just won the 5th Best Martial Arts Instructor at the Xiangjiang Film Awards this year, Chen Jialuo is naturally no stranger, and shook hands with Shang Qian and said: "The best martial arts instructor, I have admired the name for a long time!"

Chen Xiaodong took the opportunity of serving as the martial arts instructor of the thriller action film "The First Danger" directed by Xu You, and began to cooperate with Xu You, serving as a martial arts instructor for the fantasy martial arts film "New Shu Mountain Swordsman" and the feature film "Sword and Horse".

It can be said that in the early days of Xu You's film studio, Chen Xiaodong and Wu Zhisen were his most proud right-hand men.

I don't know if it was because a few people were too tired to talk all night or for other reasons, Chen Xiaodong and Chen Jialuo took the lead in leaving after greeting each other.

"Anan, go to my office and bring the prepared contract. ”

Xu You tidied up the messy table and said, "Ah Luo, Xiaodong's martial arts instruction style is very suitable for my movie, and his ability is very outstanding. You may have a miraculous effect. ”

Chen Jialuo nodded and said: "Compared with those actions of the hard bridge and hard horse, the young man must have more ideas, and I am also very optimistic about him." ”

Chen Jialuo's old-fashioned words made Xu You laugh and said, "Haha, when it comes to age, people are a few years older than you!"

However, when the laughter fell, Xu You's face added a little loneliness and said: "The 'Rising House' is completely collapsed." ”

In just one sentence, the connotation is infinitely emotional. Old friends who have cooperated for many years, in the end, still go their separate ways.

After a while, Mu Nan came to the conference room with the contract.

Chen Jialuo took a general look at the contract, the time limit is three years, and there are not too many treaty norms, the only requirement is that he cannot take private work on the spot.

You must know that Xiangjiang filmmakers take on private work on the scene, which can be regarded as a secret 'rule'. For example, Wu Zhisen of "The True Color of Heroes" had a contract with Jiashang back then, but he still used the pseudonym Wu Shangfei to make films for Yidu.

Therefore, as compensation, the film studio guaranteed that Chen Jialuo could direct more than three films, and the schedule and the number of theaters released would not be bad.

This contract is very generous for Chen Jialuo now, and when he directed his first film, he had a salary of 200,000 yuan. According to the statement that one million in Xiangjiang can make a movie, this salary is already one-fifth of the budget.

The regulations that guarantee a film to be directed a year, and the schedule and theaters will cooperate with the regulations, also made Chen Jialuo very satisfied. So without any nonsense, Chen Jialuo signed the contract with a stroke of his pen.

Since then, Chen Jialuo has been one of the contracted directors of the film studio.

"Brother You, this is a script I have prepared in the past two years, it is a martial arts film, but it is not a martial arts movie that sticks to the rules. You don't need to be big in terms of investment, and you don't need any big names in terms of actors...... It's just an adaptation of Mr. Cha's martial arts novel, so the copyright is ......"

After signing the contract, Chen Jialuo handed Xu You the script of "Smiling Proud Jianghu" that he was carrying.

"Is it a martial arts film?" or is it an adaptation of Mr. Cha's novel?"

Hearing this, Mu Nan let out an exclamation.

Although martial arts movies have been weak in recent years, it is not without some independent film production companies that they have been put on the big screen, but the results have all ended in hitting the streets.

What's more, martial arts movies adapted from martial arts novels are even more of a difficult problem in this period. TV dramas can tell the story, but movies need to avoid the trivial and go straight to the point, and it is very difficult to be brilliant in shooting.

It is too difficult for a director to make martial arts movies in his own style. Most of the well-known martial arts film directors of this period came from the Shaw Brothers Film Company, a subsidiary of TSB TV.

However, the current Shaw Brothers Film Company has been closed, and soon after joining forces with Jiashang to fight against Yidu, even its cinema chain was sold to others, which is now the new Yuanbao Cinema Line.

If it is another boss, most of the unpopular themes or unfavorable themes have to be considered for a long time. But Xu You is no one else, the style of the movies he directs has changed a lot, and even the master of "Shushan" is definitely a person who dares to take risks and try new things.

He now has "The True Color of Heroes" and "Sword and Horse" as his foundation, and he will not be afraid of the failure of a movie and the loss of the trust of the investor Mr. Lei.

After taking over the script of "Smiling Proud Jianghu", Xu You frowned slightly and said: "Ah Luo, I have one thing to say." The situation of martial arts movies, you are clear. But if your script is really good, I won't object to it. Just ......"

Hearing the word 'just', Chen Jialuo chuckled in his heart. But soon, he calmed down and said, "It's good to have my brother say it directly." ”

Xu You said these two words before he opened the script, it seems that it has nothing to do with martial arts films or some other things, and he has his own arrangements in the near future.

Sure enough, Xu You handed the original sketches of the previously scattered movie storyboards to Chen Jialuo and said: "This year is about to pass, and the company's film project arrangements for early next year have been made." The sequel to "The True Color of Heroes", Wu Zhisen will definitely shoot it. Xiaodong came to the studio with me, so I agreed to let him direct a work......"

Having said that, Chen Jialuo still didn't understand what Xu You meant. Although the film studio jumped out of the scope of Yidu Film Company, both are Mr. Lei's investments, and there is a budget for film funds every year, and Xu You definitely can't let him start filming this "Smiling Proud Jianghu" at present.

Chen Jialuo understood this very well, and the stone that had been hanging in his heart was completely put down.

OK!

As long as you don't refuse to make martial arts movies, as for time, it doesn't matter at all. If you can't shoot at the beginning of next year, you can wait until the middle of the year.

Therefore, Chen Jialuo said indifferently: "I can understand." ”

He brought Chen Jialuo to the film studio, and the other party came over with a new script with high interest, but he refused the first time, and Xu You was really worried that Chen Jialuo would be dissatisfied.

Now seeing that Chen Jialuo is not affected at all, he is no longer the stunned young man he was back then, and he also smiled and said: "That's good, although you can't direct it right away, but Xiaodong is the first time to be a director this time, I hope you can check it and be the producer of this movie." ”
