"Mr. Li, this ...... You know, there are really not many suitable art directors in Hong Kong, so Shuping is inevitably a little arrogant and engaged...... "In the private room of the restaurant, Xu Ke smiled with a wine glass, and in addition to his girlfriend Shi Nansheng, Li Xu's secretary assistant Li Wei sat down. Pen @ fun @ pavilion wWw. ｂｉｑUｇE。 ｉｎｆｏ

"Don't worry, Lao Xu, I don't plan to pursue him anything. Li Xu patted Xu Ke's shoulder with a smile, "Besides, "The Legend of the Swordsman of Xinshu Mountain" is still being filmed, let's talk about it when your movie is finished." ”

Xu Ke smiled bitterly, it wasn't that he wanted to be a lobbyist for Zhang Shupin, some things were not something he could control at all.

It's just that, as he said, Hong Kong is a shabby place, and the film industry seems to be thriving, but in fact there is a lack of everything, especially good professional art directors.

Second, the Hong Kong film circle is very small, many people don't look up and don't look down, Zhang Shupin has a good relationship with the directors of the New Wave, and Tan Jiaming, who hoped that Lin Qingxia could play the heroine in his new work "Love Killing" last year, is the art director with him.

Xu Ke was also a member of the New Wave before making commercial films, and it was normal for someone to ask him to come forward and say that Xiang Xiang was - those guys obviously didn't know who they were offended.

This is not bad, Huang Jiao and Liu Dao, Xu Ke didn't mention it at all, although the two of them left yesterday afternoon, but as soon as the matter spreads, naturally someone will take the initiative to drive them out.

In fact, Xu Ke's main purpose is the production of "The Legend of the Swordsman of Xinshu Mountain", although Li Xu angrily threw 10 million to him, but it was a hot potato for him.

If it is only a cost of 10 million, he is more or less confident that he will recover the cost at the box office, as long as the production is good, there is still hope for an impact of 20 million, won't "50 First Love" break the record and win 30 million at the box office?

But if you add another 10 million, it will have to be at least 40 million box office to have any hope of recovering the cost, which is an impossible task.

No matter how well the copyright of other cities sells, there is also a premise, that is, there is an excellent box office in Hong Kong.

It's not a few years from now, when hot money is pouring in, and two celebrities can be pulled casually and a film that can't be connected logically can collect a sum of money in Southeast Asia.

In other words, if the local box office in Hong Kong cannot recover its costs, it proves that Hong Kong citizens don't like to watch it, and since Hong Kong citizens don't like to watch it, why buy it out at a high price? Don't say anything about special effects, production, etc., we don't understand, isn't the box office the most direct manifestation of the quality of a movie?

Not only that, but filmmakers in other cities may also join forces to lower prices, which will make the loss even greater, and those that could have sold a total of 10 million could only sell 8 million in the end.

Not to mention, Li Xu's request is to make another "The Legend of the Swordsmen of Xinshu Mountain" from scratch.

"I know your concerns," after chatting a few more words, Li Xu said bluntly, "Don't worry, it's a big deal to say to the outside when the time comes, the cost will be 10 million." ”

Xu Ke twitched the corners of his mouth when he heard this, he was here to solve the problem, not to create the problem.

If he really wants to do this, he Xu Ke will definitely become a laughing stock, if he really uses Li Jianqun as the art director to produce a "The Legend of the Swordsman of Xinshu Mountain", the blind will not be able to see that it is two movies, and when the lie of the cost of 10 million is exposed, does he still want his face?

"Okay, Lao Xu," Li Xu laughed, and then his face turned pale, "I'll be honest, I don't really care about the prospect of your movie, after all, it's an experimental work, just like when I invested in "Star Wars", I didn't think about making a profit, and there are countless explorers on the road ahead of some industries. ”

Although Xu Ke was silent, there was a eager look in his eyes, he was a technical maniac after all, if he could test what he thought without caring about the consequences, he would naturally be very willing.

But Shi Nansheng didn't think so, so he spoke at this time: "Mr. Li, having said that, you also know that as a director, if the movie you make can't make money, it will be difficult to attract investment in the future." ”

You Mr. Li don't care about money, they can't, a director can continue to raise funds to make movies, there are only two ways, either the work can make money, or the work can earn honor.

Honor or something, don't think about it now, in another time and space, this projectile tried his best, and there was a king of sunglasses, and the others, at most, brushed up their prestige in Asia,

And it will be a few years later, now, even Xu Anhua is not honestly making movies that can make money?

"It's okay, if Lao Xu wants to make a movie in the future, you can come to me. Li Xu said with a smile, completely putting his thoughts on the table.

Xu Ke and Shi Nansheng couldn't help but be stunned, and then they both frowned, if this is the case, wouldn't they be completely on his side? Both of them are very individual people, even if Xu Ke joins Xinyicheng, he still retains his own film studio, and Shi Nansheng If Huang Baiming didn't directly put her salary into her account and pull her into the gang like a liar, it is also two words whether she would join Xinyicheng.

"As long as you want to make a movie, whether you want me to invest wholly or partially, it's no problem. Li Xu said to himself at this time, "It's no problem how you want to shoot, if you lose or earn, it's no problem, I won't interfere, I won't care, at most leave the right female role to me." ”

Then he raised his voice slightly: "Of course, as a price, when I need it, Lao Xu must make a movie for me, as for how to make it, I believe you all should know, right?"

Xu Ke laughed embarrassedly twice, still hesitating, Shi Nansheng had already pulled him below: "Since this is the case, then thank you Mr. Li for your kindness." ”

"Then it's decided. Li Xu didn't say much, pulled the topic elsewhere, and left with Li Wei after lunch.

"It's okay now, I'm afraid that I will have to work for others for the rest of my life. Xu Ke sighed at this time, but his tone was very frivolous.

"You don't want to do things for Mr. Li, some people think, I don't see Wang Jingcai for how long he has been with him, and now he is a 30 million director and the winner of the Cannes Jury Prize. Shi Nansheng immediately choked.

"I know, I'm not kidding. Xu Ke immediately smiled.

After such a while, he had already reacted, and just by virtue of others giving his woman vent, he directly smashed 10 million to make an additional version of "The Legend of the Swordsman of Xinshu Mountain", and knew that he was a master who really didn't treat money as money.

It's just that people are very sensitive to art and very good at it, and they sent Wang Jing with two storyboards, and many directors are out of reach, and they are powerful, powerful and energetic, and the strong dragon is so strong that the local snake dare not shake it, Sir Shao and Zou Tycoon must be careful.

In addition, people do what they say and are willing to hand it in, if they can hug this thigh, if the other party keeps their promises, then he can not only study the movie he wants to study freely, but also don't have to be distracted to go to the camp - maybe he is the object of the camp.

The only thing to worry about is that if he is like Wang Jing, with two movies a year and a half, then Xu Ke will not be able to do his own thing. But Wang Jing is said to be on vacation now, and it doesn't look like he's being squeezed, and in general, the advantages outweigh the disadvantages, that is, ......

"It's a pity, now if we have to find a way to shoot another version of "The Legend of the Swordsmen of Xinshu Mountain", they don't dare to blame Mr. Li, so they can only blame me. Xu Ke smiled bitterly at this time, "Moreover, that Li Jianqun is in his twenties, and he has no experience, although Mr. Li is optimistic about her, but if she doesn't do well enough, it will be very difficult." ”

"Lao Xu, you are the director," Shi Nansheng looked like he hated iron and steel, "If there are those who don't want to stay, let them go, anyway, you have already filmed once, how difficult is it to repeat one side? Zheng Shaoqiu and Liu Songren wish they could sell Mr. Li a good one! As for Li Jianqun, I have been in contact with that girl a few times, she is still very smart, and her standard should be there, Mr. Li's vision is said to have been very good, since she has put down that kind of words, she must have merit. Besides, they are just art directors, and the specific execution is not you, the director, you should pay close attention to her and communicate more. ”

"Okay, okay, I'm scared of you, so be it. Xu Ke hurriedly said.

Without mentioning their preparations, after Li Xu came out, he went directly to Star TV.

As I said before, in addition to supporting Li Jianqun in Hong Kong this time, there are some things to deal with, such as officially expressing my stance with Xu Ke just now.

With Wang Jing, a double harvest character, in front, he agreed as expected, so the director of the urban version of "True and False Monkey King" has fallen.

The temperament that Li Xu set for this script is strange and weird, and Xu Laowei is obviously a good hand in this regard, otherwise there would be no "A Chinese Ghost Story" and "Smiling Proud Jianghu" series

Of course, the script is still not good enough, and it has to be polished.

But it's not in a hurry, Xu Ke is now busy with another version of "The Legend of the Swordsman of Xinshu Mountain", and he has to rest after that, so he can't think about this until next year, and he has time to improve the script.

In addition, Li Xu also took this opportunity to issue a warning to the Hong Kong entertainment industry, even if you usually communicate, if you dare to humiliate his woman, then you must be prepared to be retaliated.

And his revenge is very simple, that is, to throw money to clean you up, keep throwing money to clean you up, and smash until you can't stand it anymore, and if you have the ability, you can compare who is rich.

Of course, this still needs to wait for things to ferment, and when the two versions of "The Legend of the Swordsmen of Xinshu Mountain" are released, the results will really be shown, so that some people can weigh it in their hearts.

In addition to these, the TV series prepared for Zhao Yazhi and Lan Jieying is about to start production, which is why Lan Jieying will be in Hong Kong.

As for what the script is prepared, it is very simple, it is in another time and space, "Sister Tuogun", which was all the rage in the late 90s, Zhao Yazhi naturally played Zhu Su'e, and Lan Jieying played Chen Sanyuan.

Originally, Chen Sanyuan was going to leave it to Chen Xiuwen and take her down by the way, but Lan Jieying unexpectedly ran for Miss Asia and won the championship, so it was just the right time to hand over this role to her.
