Liu Qi ignored Lu Chuan's different expressions and nodded directly.

"He is the main investor, the writer and producer of the film. The third master said that he believed in Gu's ability, and he was solely responsible for this movie, as the producer of China Film Fang, I have no opinion on this proposal. ”

In fact, Han Sanping didn't say such nonsense as "Gu Zhi is fully responsible", but Liu Qi personally believed in Gu Zhi's ability and stood on his side without hesitation.

“···”

There was an eerie silence in the conference room, Lu Chuan looked at Liu Qi and then at Gu Zhi, deeply suspecting that something was wrong with his ears.

What a thing!

"Let me be the director, I still have to listen to him, then I won't be a puppet? What kind of bullshit movie!"

Lu Chuan didn't speak, and his heart was already upside down.

Gu Zhi was not in a hurry, just stared at Lu Chuan's eyes silently, waiting for him to make a final decision.

In most cases, Lu Chuan staggered his gaze for the first time, subconsciously avoiding the other party's gaze, not wanting to look at Gu Zhi or Liu Qi.

Time passed minute by minute, and after a while, Lu Chuan raised his right hand and pushed the glasses on the bridge of his nose, and said slowly: "According to what you said, wouldn't it be good for you to direct yourself, why do you still want to come to me?"

Gu Zhi smiled softly, raised his right index finger towards Lu Chuan, and shook it from side to side.

"First, it's not me who came to you, it's you who came to me. ”

"Second, professional things are left to professional people to do, and there is no doubt about Mr. Lu's directorial professional level, I am still far behind. When you go on the set, I will only tell you what kind of footage you need to shoot, and as for how to shoot this shot, it's your job. ”

"In other words, I'm telling you the result I want, and the process of achieving that result is what you're going to do. ”

Gu Zhi deliberately made his tone tougher when he spoke, and his eyes stared at Lu Chuan motionlessly, but his calm pupils gave Lu Chuan unexpected pressure.

Lu Chuan was obviously still a little hesitant, and he was mostly reluctant. He repeatedly pushed his glasses, which he could no longer push, trying to hide his emotions.

So Gu Zhi put the last straw on this request.

"The salary is 100,000. ”

As soon as these words came out, Lu Chuan's half-pushed fingers stopped suddenly, and he couldn't help but swallow his saliva. From Gu Zhi's point of view, his rolling Adam's apple can be clearly seen.

"100,000..."

Even Liu Qi was stunned for a moment when he heard this number.

You must know that when Zhang Yimou filmed "Xinfu Time" this year, his salary was only 300,000, and when Feng Xiaogang filmed "Party A and Party B" a few years ago, the basic salary was only 300,000.

The two of them are almost the most famous directors in the Chinese film industry, Zhang Yimou has not yet switched to commercial films, but his film department won the award, and he is the hardest one in the Chinese director industry.

Not to mention Feng Xiaogang, the representative of the Chinese New Year comedy, the director with the highest cumulative box office in China, and the pillar of the film and television giant Huayi.

These two can only get a salary of 300,000 yuan now, and Gu Zhi uses one-third of the price to hire a master's director who has never directed experience, which is more than enough.

In the last movie, Ning Hao's salary was only 70,000, and Gu Zhi didn't believe that 100,000 yuan couldn't impress Lu Chuan.

If this Luchuan is really not rare, this 100,000...

Then Gu Zhi had no choice but to find someone else.

I can't continue to increase the price, it's not that I don't have funds, it's just that he Lu Chuan is only worth this price now, and 100,000 actually gives him an advantage.

To shoot or not to shoot, under the temptation of huge interests, it is not a difficult thing for anyone to choose, let alone Lu Chuan, a young screenwriter who has just graduated.

"Well, I promise you, everything will be filmed according to your wishes. ”

Lu Chuan nodded, stood up and took the initiative to shake hands with Gu Zhi and Liu Qi, and the two sides officially reached a cooperation intention, and when Liu Qi prepared the contract, he could sign the contract.

After everything was negotiated, Lu Chuan left Zhongying, and before leaving, he actually had a word in his heart that he didn't say.

"Just shoot it, anyway, it won't be my money when the time comes. ”

Looking at Lu Chuan's disappearing back, Liu Qi asked the question that he hadn't asked just now.

"Isn't 100,000 too high, and the movie hasn't started filming yet, so much money was spent, is it worth it for this Luchuan?"

Gu Zhi nodded decisively.

"Value. ”

"Don't say 100,000, even if it's 300,000, the money made by China Film will not be less after the movie is released, so you can rest assured. ”

Liu Qi really didn't know where he got his confidence, so he glanced at him speechlessly.

She has already read the script of "My Sassy Girlfriend", and she likes it very much, but she is not as confident as Gu Zhi in the box office of the movie.

If the film does not perform well after its release and does not win awards, it will be difficult for she, a new producer, to gain a firm foothold in China Film in a short period of time.

Now there is no other way but to try to do your job as well as possible, and pray that Gu Zhi's judgment is correct.

Fortunately, the success of the previous movie gave Liu Qi some confidence and some confidence in Gu Zhi.

The director has decided, and now it's up to the actors, especially the most critical heroine.

As soon as Lu Chuan left, Liu Qi came to the conference room with a lot of information on female stars, ready to choose slowly with Gu Zhi.

Now there are Yao Chen, Yu Nan, Haiqing, Dong Xuan, Guan Yue, Qin Hailu, Ma Yili, Xue Jialing, Hao Lei, etc., these people are all average, and they were quickly eliminated by them.

In addition, there are Yuan Xiang, who has a strong literary temperament, Ning Jing, who is slightly stout, Li Bingbing, Fan Bingbing, two Bingbing sisters, etc., without exception, these are not very suitable for Song Mingxi's image requirements.

Throwing off the information of these people, Liu Qi changed another batch.

This year, the media specially selected the famous "Four Little Flowers" from the female stars in the mainland, they are Zhou Xun, Zhang Ziyi, Zhao Wei, and Xu Jinglei.

These Gu Zhi and Liu Qi have carefully considered it, and the first target person selected by Liu Qi is Zhao Wei.

Zhao Wei was admitted to the Beijing Film Academy in 96 with the first score in the country, and after four years of training, there is no problem in acting.

The little swallow she played is a well-known role, in fact, it is most suitable for her to star in "My Sassy Girlfriend", whether it is in terms of appearance or screen image, she is very suitable for the role of Song Mingxi.

However, there were too many black spots in her later life, and the military flag incident had consumed a lot of popularity, and later there was a Dai Liren bending independence incident, which made her image in the minds of the Chinese people plummet.

The role of Song Mingxi will definitely set off a wave of popularity throughout Asia, and one of the purposes of Gu Zhi's filming of this movie is to create a goddess.

Jun Ji-hyun in the previous life became the goddess of the whole people, if Zhao Wei starred this time, wouldn't it make her, a person with three wrong views, a goddess.

Gu Zhi never wants to praise Zhao Wei, and about the actress of this goddess, he will still have a lot of uses in the future, if he really gives Zhao Wei, the image of the goddess will be ruined in the future.

In the end, under Gu Zhi's strong opposition, Liu Qi finally compromised and excluded Zhao Wei.

Next is Zhang Ziyi, their opinions are surprisingly consistent, and they directly choose to give up.

Zhang Ziyi has now won the Hundred Flowers Award and the Berlin Silver Bear Award, and after starring in "Crouching Tiger, Hidden Dragon", she has successfully stepped into the international market, and is currently one of the most expensive actors in the Chinese film industry, with acting skills beating almost anyone in the same period.

If she really wants to invite Zhang Ziyi to come back to play, Gu Zhi believes that she will definitely be able to interpret Song Mingxi very well, but at least she has to take all their budgets to be able to afford to invite Zhang Ziyi.

Gu Zhi thought about it or forget it, and when he had the opportunity to cooperate with her in the future.

and then Xu Jinglei, her temperament and appearance are too inconsistent with the role of Song Mingxi, and she was soon denied.

Now there is only one Zhou Xun left in the four little flowers.
