Chapter 1041: Sycamore Tree
His laughter made Lin Qingxia very angry. Pen % fun % Pavilion www.biquge.info
So he had to restrain his laughter and coax her softly.
She also knew that on an occasion like today, she shouldn't be angry, so after seeing him 'bow his head and admit his mistake', she didn't stretch her face anymore, but showed a smile.
It's just that her smile, in his opinion, is somewhat fake.
Obviously, although she is not angry on the surface, she still has a pimple in her heart.
So he helped her to sit down in a chair in the corner. In the theater, there will naturally be no shortage of chairs, so the two easily found a place far away from everyone. In addition, Lin Qingxia is pregnant, everyone thinks that he is taking care of her and doesn't want to be disturbed!
But in reality, he was just looking for a space where he could talk to her.
"Okay, don't be angry! You know, not every pretty woman I'm going to hook up. Obviously, she's not my cup of tea!"
This kind of thing, only he can say so justifiably in front of women.
"Then you still smile so 'kindly' at her!"
The last two words, she said through gritted teeth. Obviously, her inner thoughts were not as sunny as her smile on the surface.
He laughed and whispered in her ear: "This woman, I know her, she is indeed quite famous in the mainland. But because she's famous, I've heard some rumors and comments about her, as well as certain things. She is not from the capital, but in order to be able to have a Beijing hukou and marry a man in the capital, she just divorced that man two years ago......"
"......" Lin Qingxia looked at him stunned, blinked, and snorted at the end: "Such a woman, you are still interested in her?"
He raised his index finger, shook it at her, and said, "I have to correct it here, it's her who is interested in me, not me! But you can put a hundred and twenty hearts, this woman, I can't touch it. ”
This is true to all, because that woman is too utilitarian and not the type he likes.
As for Liu Xiaoqin's interest in him, this kind of thing is too normal in his opinion, how many women want to fly on the branches and become phoenixes one day?
In the eyes of countless people, he Wu is the sycamore.
"Ah Xia, you're okay, right!?"
Seeing Wu Cheng sitting in the corner talking to Lin Qingxia, Deng Lijun and Zhong Chuhong both walked over, they thought that there was something wrong with Lin Qingxia, or that she had a tire.
Lin Qingxia listened, and her face was a little confused.
Wu Cheng smiled: "It's nothing! Tell her not to come, she wants to come, and she is tired when she comes!"
When Lin Qingxia heard this, she couldn't help but glance at him, but she didn't expose this lie, after all, it was a lie for her. She didn't want them to know that she was eating Mo Ming's flying vinegar again.
Deng Lijun smiled and said to Wu Cheng: "Then I'll stay with Ah Xia!" Director Xu seems to have something to do with you!" she said, gesturing in the other direction.
In that direction, Old Monster Xu was nodding towards Wu Cheng.
Wu Cheng got up and walked over, smiling: ""Shushan" is finished?"
The original time and space, the movie "Shushan" came out last year, although it hurt people at the box office, but at this year's Academy Awards, it was also nominated.
However, in this time and space, because of his intervention, the movie "Shushan" has not yet been released at this time, or rather, it is still in the late production stage.
Sure enough, Xu Laowei smiled and said: "This drama is divided into two parts, in fact, it has already been completed, but the post-production has not yet been completed." However, it's hard for the special effects department to copy the renderings you gave me earlier, and the results may not be that good!"
Wu Cheng smiled when he heard this, and said, "If I can really copy those renderings completely, then I will be surprised." This result was expected by me. It doesn't matter how much effect you can make. ”
After a pause, he added: "Of course, it's not that I don't value special effects, but that the drama "Shushan" can be said to be another embodiment of Chinese mythological dramas. I'm sure you've watched the previous episodes of "Journey to the West", and there are some special effects that seem very simple, but the audience is watching them with relish, why? Can those special effects really compare to 'Star Wars'?"
"So, the most important thing is the storyline of the movie. Wu admits the truth: "Now that it has been completed, when editing, I hope you don't ignore the plot because of the pursuit of picture effects, which is actually the most important thing." ”
Old Monster Xu nodded, and said a little embarrassed at the end: "Boss, that, the production fee ......"
"Want to invest more?" Wu Cheng glanced at him and said, "I remember, this "Shushan" has already invested 50 million Hong Kong dollars!"
Xu Lao Wei smiled bitterly in embarrassment, and said: "However, the first half of it, that is, the shooting plus half of the special effects, has already spent more than 40 million, and if the special effects of the second half are completed, it is estimated that another 20 to 30 million will have to be added! This is still the result that in some places, special effects can be reused." For example, the 'starting hand' place during a fight. ”
40 million Hong Kong dollars a movie, in this period, is definitely the specification of a blockbuster. And that's not even plus the cost of later publicity, as well as the cost of copying.
Let's not mention the copy fee, after all, this can't be counted as the production cost, but only when the later stage and the theater are settled, this copy fee will be calculated. Generally speaking, what people call the investment of a movie generally refers to the cost of shooting, as well as the cost of publicity.
And this movie obviously needs to be released simultaneously in Southeast Asia, and it is estimated that we will have to wait for Europe and the United States, after all, we have to see the effect first.
Otherwise, you could lose a lot of money.
If you add the publicity expenses in Southeast Asia, it is estimated that it will be fifty or sixty million.
A movie is fifty or sixty million, if you want to recover the cost, if the box office is only in Southeast Asia, then the pressure to recover the cost is already very great.
In the original time and space, how much did Golden Harvest invest in this film?
Wu Cheng doesn't know very well, but I believe it should be almost 20 million. As a result, this movie hit the street directly on the Xiangjiang side, and the pressure on Golden Harvest to recover the cost can be imagined.
And now, the cost of this film has directly tripled, what is this concept?
Of course, this calculation may not be right, after all, when filming, the plots of the upper and lower parts were filmed together. Only used more than 10 million yuan for filming, which is equivalent to about eight or nine million for a movie, and in this, the remuneration of the main creative staff will be taken a lot.
For example, Lin Qingxia is in this play, her salary is 1 million, and Zheng Shaoqiu is 120,000. This price is less than the three million that Zhou Yan has issued now.
And Zhou Yanfa's 3 million, that is the salary when filming Xiangjiang films, if he makes foreign films, his salary will increase by three or four times, but so far, there are no foreign films looking for him to star.
I have to say, it's actually quite embarrassing.
If this drama is not filmed in the mainland, it is estimated that the filming cost will have to increase by another two or three million. After all, in the mainland, many people's wages are really not high.
Even though the crew has raised their wages by three or four times, it is still very low.
Thinking about it again, Xu Laowei has been in Xishu in the mainland for so long, and he is in full swing with a large group of people and horses to shoot, and he only spends less than 20 million yuan every day, so it really can't be said that he doesn't know how to save money. Thinking about the expenses he spent when filming "Shaolin Temple", Wu Cheng was embarrassed to say that Xu Lao Wei wasted it.
"You go to the company, what does the company say?"
The reason why he asked this question was because of this matter, if Xu Laowei could get a satisfactory answer from the company, then there would be no need to come to him again.
Xu Laowei originally wanted to complain, but thinking that the two vice presidents of the company were the wives of the master in front of him, Xu Laowei had no choice but to swallow back the strange words he wanted to blurt out.
Then he said: "The company is only ready to approve 10 million, so that I can save some money." ”
After a pause, he added: "But boss, you can save a little bit of other things, but those special effects ...... If it is really saved, the effect is much worse. ”
Wu Cheng nodded and said, "I know about this matter, go to the company to find me tomorrow!"
Although he also thinks that special effects burn money, it is normal to have additional investment. However, since the two wives are in charge of the company and give Xu Lao Ge such an answer, he has to go back and listen to his wives' thoughts before making a decision. After all, you can't just listen to Xu Laowei's words.
After communicating with Xu Caiwei for a while, I saw several directors come over to say hello, including not only Fang Yuping, who also had a high voice this year, but also the old director Li Hanshen.
I was exchanging some shooting experiences with these people, and time passed quickly.
In the evening, the awards ceremony began.
is still the opening song "Bright", and the organizers seem to really have plans to use this song as the theme song. However, the one who drank this song was not Jacky Cheung this year, but Tan Yonglin.
Because Tan Yonglin is popular enough, many people even compare him with Leslie Cheung now. Why do you say 'again'? It's because of the original plane, these two have always been regarded as rivals by their fans. In the end, Leslie Cheung was 'forced' to quit the music scene.
It can be seen from this that Leslie Cheung's mind is indeed very sensitive.
But now, Leslie Cheung's mentality is very good, he has a son at home and a strong wife, and he deserves to be a 'little man'.
With a calm mind, it doesn't matter what you see.
Then the emcee Zeng Zhiwei and Zheng Yulian, as well as the sister Wang Mingquan, took the stage, which was the first time Wang Mingquan participated in the emcee of this award ceremony.
Although she is famous in the emcee industry, Zeng Zhiwei and Zheng Yuling are not bad now.
This year, for some reason, the organizers added her.
After three funny times, Leslie Cheung came on the stage.
The first award, the Best Newcomer Award.
