"What? What do you say? Spielberg is going to make a war movie called Saving the Soldier?"

"Yes, he asked for at least 50 million, and I was prepared for a big overspending......

"Then give it to him! He's worth 50 million just by virtue of his fame!"

David, who was sitting in the study with the budget report, was a little crying and laughing. Pen Fun Pavilion wWw. ｂiquge。 info "Pay! If you add the cost of promotion, publicity, and post-production, it won't cost 60 or 70 million! Not all films can make as much money as "Titanic"! Paramount thinks it's too high, and hopes to control the cost within 50 million......

"Is Paramount Shirley still the chairman of Paramount Pictures?"

There was something strange about David. "Yes, almost all foreign cooperation is managed by her......"

"Then tell her that if Paramount is not willing to bear the cost, Gonzalez of [Dream Media] will immediately come over with a check and sign the co-production agreement!"

"You can't always be so aggressive, your gamble with Paramount and Fox has made Paramount's Shirley and Fox Director Callidor lose face and become a laughing stock in Hollywood......"

Seeing Tong Tiantian put the peeled crab meat on his plate again, Fu Zhengyi shook his head at her before continuing. "Blame me?"

"I don't blame you, I blame me? Fox and Paramount gritted their teeth and worked on a five-year film that was taken away by your [Dream Media], not only is the box office going to set a world record, but even the soundtrack is sold out, you are robbing! You are naked robbing......"

"Oh, if they want to understand it that way, then I can't help it. Whoever makes these two companies want to make money but also don't want to bear losses, making movies is a high-risk industry with high input and high output, and if you don't want to bear losses, you can only keep your money in the bank......"

After ending the call with David, Fu Zhengyi saw Li Dawei's surprised face, and asked with a smile in his heart. "By the way, since Director Li is in the film and television industry, what does the domestic film and television industry say about the movie "Titanic"?"

"Is this a myth, a fable, and a metaphor about human misfortune, or a story of faith, courage, sacrifice, and love. The clichéd handsome boy and the rich girl, the fictional vulgar love, but the beautiful shooting technique is worth learning from and studying seriously......"

"If you were given so much money, do you think you could make a similar film?"

Li Dawei was stunned for a moment, and shook his head with a wry smile. "I don't know how to spend it if I am given so much money anyway! I guess it will take a lot of effort to use up even a fraction of it......"

"I remember that before the release of this movie, a director stood up and said that Lao Mei will burn money, if you can give so much money to domestic directors, you will definitely be able to make better, exciting, more connotative, and more able to analyze human nature, do you think that guy has a spectrum?"

Li Dawei pursed his lips disdainfully. "Pull it down, don't look at that guy is quite famous, it's just like being confused to give him so much money. If you really give him so much money to shoot, it is estimated that the flowers can be spent, but what the effect of the shoot is, then only the devil knows......"

Seeing that Fu Zhengyi nodded as if in agreement, Tong Tiantian asked him. "Is there really no way to make a movie like this?"

"DreamWorks is going to cooperate with Paramount to shoot a war film, with an investment of about 50 million US dollars, if this money is used by domestic directors, I believe that the final shot will be a big scene of tearing devils with bare hands and shooting down enemy planes......

Tong Tiantian was stunned. "It's impossible, isn't it?"

"Of course it's impossible, Mr. Fu is joking!"

Laughing, Li Dawei raised his wine glass and said to Fu Zhengyi. "Mr. Fu, thank you for your trust, but I'm still very strange, since you are willing to invest so much money to shoot this TV series, why don't you choose those famous directors and big stars with market appeal in China......?

Also, don't you always think that Hong Kong and Taiwan stars have appeal, the quality of mainland actors is much stronger than them, but mainland actors have always lacked opportunities, which makes the distributor and producer fall into a strange circle......

The bitterness aroused by Fu Zhengyi's sentence made Li Dawei very amazed, seeing that he was really easy-going, he used the strength of wine to tell about his difficult process from photography to director's assistant, and only then sighed at the end. "Mr. Fu, it's really not that our young people are unwilling to work hard and can't endure hardships, it's that there is no chance at all, I have been working as a photographer for four years to finally have the opportunity to learn from a serious director, and this is still an opportunity that my family has finally given me. But just like that, I only grabbed a small amount of the movie last year than the ordinary director's assistant, there are some things that no one teaches, you have to understand by yourself, and you can't become a director if you don't understand it! And the domestic investment in this area is too small, and the review of the relevant departments is also very strange, and two of my classmates finally made something out, and the above sentence was banned, and the reason is not explained......

"It's glamorous on the surface, but it's actually bitter, right?"

"That's right! It's just to the heart, Mr. Fu, just now Miss Tong said that you are still in college, I really didn't see it! It's amazing, it's just amazing......"

Sitting next to him was Tong Tiantian, who was dressed as a girl from the Republic of China, and opposite was a director from Yanjing, but the table full of delicacies and seafood could not arouse the interest of summer, and he muttered dissatisfaction when he heard this. "Isn't there just two stinky money......

Tong Tiantian hurriedly pulled her sleeve and said angrily. "Summer! Why do you always have to argue with him, Bai Xiuzhu's role is not very good......"

"Yes, Leng Qingqiu is tailor-made for you, isn't Bai Xiuzhu just a foil......"

Speaking of this, Xia Xia saw Li Dawei staring at him in surprise, and understood that what he said was really a little sour, and he couldn't help but blush, and stood up with the wine glass in front of him. "Director Li, a toast!"

"Don't dare to be, don't dare to be, I like the original book very much, and I've been thinking about it for a long time, Bai Xiuzhu's character is actually quite difficult to play, she has stayed abroad, she is very beautiful, her family background is quite good, the Bai family and the Jin family have both union and competition, she is already embarrassed to be caught in the middle, originally Jin Qishao wanted to marry into the door immediately, but she didn't expect that her own little reserve contributed to the marriage between Jin Qishao and Leng Qingqiu, hate, love and sadness, and the psychological changes are great. It's really more difficult to perform than the role of Leng Qingqiu, Miss Xia's temperament is quite consistent with this role, speaking of which, I think that Mr. Fu appointed you to play Bai Xiuzhu, which is really tailor-made......"

Li Dawei's words made Xia very happy, turned his face and saw that Fu Zhengyi's expression was a little strange, and after a little thought, he suddenly glared at Li Dawei, and sat down and thought that none of the men were good!

Not perceiving the change in summer's mood, Tong Tiantian also picked up the wine glass, and asked with some embarrassment after saluting Li Dawei. "When will shooting start? I don't know anything......"

"It's still early, the original book needs to be adapted according to Mr. Fu's intentions, and the selection of actors and the production of props must be carried out at the same time as the selection of filming locations, and it will be two or three months later!"

Tong Tiantian smiled a little embarrassedly. "I thought I'd be able to start filming soon......

"Miss Tong, don't think you can relax, Leng Qingqiu's character needs to be figured out, from the disdain at the beginning to the later moved, falling in love, and after passing the door, you need to face the life of a wealthy family like the Jin family, which is quite difficult for her as a civilian woman, psychological activities need to be properly expressed, before the dialogue is finalized, I suggest you read more of the original work, think more about how you should be introverted in that environment and in such a social state, Be reserved, but also properly reveal the emotions of your personality, and look in the mirror more ......"

In terms of details, Fu Zhengyi is not interested, but since he has found the director, this matter is basically fine.

But when he noticed that Li Dawei began to explain the shooting of those intimate shots, he tapped his finger on the table. "Director Li, avoid similar shots involving the two of them!"

Li Dawei was stunned for a moment, and then nodded immediately. "No problem!"

"There is another one, after the list of actors comes out, you remember to bring it to me first, the situation of each role starring must also be as detailed as possible, although Jin Qishao, Leng Qingqiu, and Bai Xiuzhu have all been decided, but the other participants must also be carefully selected......"

"Understood! understood! So I will carefully consider the actors, since the investment is so large, if the shooting effect can't be made, I, the director, can directly find a rope and hang myself!"

"Also, if this TV series is filmed well, the new generation of directors will have to take your lead and look ahead, and then the company will make a plan to recruit excellent directors and screenwriters across the country, and the company will pay for it, and they will be creative, not to mention how many years it will be able to beat Hollywood, but at least someone dares to stand up and pat his chest and say that as long as he is given a billion or 800 million production costs, he can also make a Hollywood-style blockbuster......"

"Oh, Mr. Fu, you're not kidding?"

"Why?

Li Dawei stood up and seriously hugged his fists. "Mr. Fu, on behalf of the talented new generation of directors who can't get ahead because of financial problems, I pay tribute to ......" (to be continued.) )
