"Ahem...... That one...... 10 million Hong Kong dollars? Xu Ke almost didn't squirt out, looking at Li Xu's eyes wide open. Pen, fun, pavilion www. biquge。 info

"If it's not enough, the upper limit can be as high as 15 million." Li Xu said with a smile.

At this time, even Shi Nansheng, who was whispering to Lin Qingxia over there, closed his mouth and looked at him in disbelief, you know, there is probably only one movie in Hong Kong that can invest 10 million now, that is, "Best Partner", which is being stepped up in the late stage of production and is ready to be released in April.

The three giants of Xinyicheng said that the boss of Lei spent a lot of money to poach Xu Guanjie from Golden Harvest, and then spent 10 million to make a movie of the Hong Kong version of 007.

Even the "50 First Loves" that Li Xu asked Wang Jing to produce, the announced cost was only about 9 million - of course, it was only announced.

Now Li Xu is taking 10 million at a time, and he still says that the upper limit can be adjusted to 5 million, which is ...... This is inevitably too rich.

"You're going to have to ask the special effects artist from ILM to help with the special effects, and I can help with that." Li Xu spoke again, then looked at Xu Ke's confused expression, and then added: "George established an industrial light and magic special effects company when he was working on Star Wars, and I am one of the shareholders. ”

Both Xu Ke and Shi Nansheng couldn't help but take a breath, although they knew some of Li Xu's background, they were always in the fog, and they didn't know his true strength.

"Can you really come over, Mr. Li?" Xu Ke then asked a little fanatically, worthy of special effects control and technical control.

"Of course," Li Xu nodded affirmatively, "But I'll only help you get the match, and you have to talk about it yourself, don't expect me to let them give you a discount." ”

"No, no, no." Xu Ke said repeatedly, his eyes bent up.

"In addition, I have one condition." Li Xu then said, "Before you prepare, you have to go to the mainland to have a look." ”

"Go...... Going to the mainland? Xu Ke was puzzled.

"Go and see the famous mountains and rivers in the mainland, go and see Emei, Qingcheng, Wuyue and Huangshan, look at Zhangjiajie, Jiuzhaigou, Shunan Zhuhai," Li Xu looked at him and said, "After reading those, you will know in your heart, what those fairy wonderlands should look like, and it is impossible to do it behind closed doors." ”

"This ......" Xu Ke hesitated a little.

"It would be nice if you could shoot locally, there are things that can't be made in a studio, even for the Star Wars series, in Tunisia and Guatemala." Li Xu then said again.

"I'm afraid it won't work, Mr. Li," Xu Ke was a little surprised, "what if...... If we go, it's hard to say about Wanwan, they are very strict about this, if we go to the mainland, ....... ”

"I know, I'll communicate with them, it's good if you can get a permit, it's okay if you can't get it, it's a big deal that you refer to those scenery and go to the south of Wanwan to see if there is a suitable scenery." Li Xu said as a matter of course.

"In this case, then ......" Xu Kecai was silent halfway through speaking, and the other party generously took 10 million, or even 15 million, and was worried that the budget was not enough.

"If that's fine, then it's decided?" Li Xu raised the cup in front of him, and boiled water was poured into it as always.

"Really...... Thank you so much, Mr. Lee. Xu Ke didn't talk nonsense, picked up the wine glass and touched it, and then drank it all.

"I just want to see a Xianxia movie full of Chinese flavor, that's all." Li Xu said insincerely.

The reason why he mentions something about the plot is just by the way, and he always has to express some opinions, and it's his business whether to listen or not. If a movie hits the street, it can't be saved by changing the script casually.

Xu Ke is actually quite interesting, as a special effects control and technical control, in a movie, special effects are obviously higher than the script, and he often does things that lose logic and details for the sake of effect.

If there is a good template, such as "Nie Xiaoqian", "Outwitting Tiger Mountain" or something, or the collaborators are very weighty, such as Cheng Long, John Woo and the like, or simply a movie without special effects, he can still suppress this impulse. But if the template is very loose and he is the only one who has the power, then the movie is easy to get out of control, such as the two movies he made related to "The Legend of the Swordsman of Shushan".

After all, the original book has 4 million words, which is almost more than some online novels 30 years later, there are dozens or even hundreds of characters with names and surnames, and various plots are also scattered, and any jump can be made into a movie or TV series, so it's no wonder that Xu Laowei also wants it, that also wants, and finally catches blindness.

So, it's better for him to lose a sum of money, as mentioned above, in the case of supervision, he can,

After drinking a glass of wine, Li Xu thought of something and said, "Oh, by the way, Lao Xu, there is one more thing, leave me all the female characters with weight." ”

"Ahem!" Xu Ke immediately coughed again.

"This ......" nodded covertly to Shi Nansheng, who gave him a look, and he immediately agreed, "No problem, Mr. Li thinks whoever is suitable, just tell me." ”

"Then this heroine should be good." Li Xu immediately gave a thumbs up and pointed to the side.

Suddenly, Xu Ke and Shi Nansheng's eyes were on Lin Qingxia, which startled her, and then glared at Li Xu with some annoyance: "Why do you make decisions for others at will!" ”

"What's wrong? The castle master of Yaochi Immortal Castle is very suitable for you, huh? Li Xu made a surprised look.

"Did you ask me?" Lin Qingxia was still a little angry, "At least let me read the script first!" ”

"Don't worry, I have the most accurate vision, I say it's suitable for you, then it will definitely be suitable for you." Li Xu said with a smile, "That's it, I'll go back later, I'll draw a picture of Feitian in your appearance, and I should do the costume and modeling design for the movie." ”

"What flying enclave?" Lin Qingxia was still glaring at him, "You'll divert the topic!" ”

"Oh, I told you, I have time to read more books, if I change Jianqun here...... No, even if Chang Lijun is here, he knows what Feitian is. Li Xu reached out and nodded her head.

"Don't touch me!" Lin Qingxia angrily slapped his hand away, turned her head to the side, and ignored him.

Seeing the two of them flirting and scolding, Xu Ke and Shi Nansheng could only bury their heads in eating vegetables, so as not to say anything.

Then, there was a knock on the door, and before Li Xu could speak, Shi Nansheng had already taken the lead in getting up and opening the door, and then he was stunned: "Zou ...... Mr. Zou? ”

"Nan Sheng, Xu Ke is here." The man outside the door asked in a gentle tone.

"Hmm...... In. Shi Nansheng looked behind him, a little embarrassed, but still let go, and a middle-aged man in his fifties walked in.

Wearing glasses, his head is slightly bald, and he is sven, and he doesn't have the domineering spirit of commanding the Dragon and Tiger Martial Arts and the Shaw Brothers in the 70s, and he is completely an ordinary old man.

"Xu Ke, oh, and Mr. Li, I'm sorry to disturb you." The other party greeted with a smile, as if they really met by chance.

"Hello, Mr. Zou!" Xu Ke quickly stood up, he was not Li Xu, he was just an ordinary film director, facing the boss of Golden Harvest, of course, he had to show enough respect.

After they exchanged a few words of greeting, Li Xu stood up slowly and stretched out his hand with a smile: "Mr. Zou, hello." ”

"Hello, Mr. Li." Zou Wenhuai smiled and greeted Lin Qingxia again: "Hello, Miss Lin." ”

"I happened to have something to find Xu Ke, and when I heard that you were with him, I was cheeky and uninvited." He said.

"It's okay, please sit down, Mr. Zou," Li Xu smiled, "Old Xu, ask the waiter to add another pair of dishes and chopsticks." ”

"No, no," Zou Wenhuai waved his hand again and again, "We dined in another private room, I heard the excitement outside, came out to take a look, and only then did I know that Xinyicheng was setting up a celebration banquet, and I happened to have something to do with Xu Ke, so I went over to ask, and then came here." ”

"Mr. Zou, just let me know if you have something." Xu Ke said respectfully.

"By the way, especially after knowing that Mr. Li is also there." Zou Wenhuai said with a smile, not hiding his own affairs at all, "Last time I heard the secretary say, you have a script that you want to find us Jiahe?" And also the classical swordsman? ”

"This ......" Xu Ke's smile froze on his face and looked at Li Xu.

Zou Wenhuai also looked at Li Xu, and the latter immediately sighed: "That's the case, Lao Xu wants to make a Xianxia movie based on the "Legend of the Swordsman of Shushan" by the owner of Huanzhu Mansion, because the subject matter is relatively novel, and he wants to find a Hollywood special effects artist to create a movie, so few people invested, and after finding my head, I decided to take 10 million to 15 million Hong Kong dollars to support him." ”

Even with Zou Wenhuai's courage, when he heard this number, he couldn't help but raise his eyebrows: "Mr. Li is so generous." ”

"Special effects movies are very expensive," Li Xu didn't care at all, "Although from a personal point of view, I am not very optimistic about Lao Xu's attempt, but this spirit should be supported." I don't mind the end result, wouldn't it be nice to make the movie pure? ”

Speaking of this, he laughed again: "Of course, I will only be so generous if it can interest me in the subject." ”

There is a difference between pretending to be 13 and pretending to be wronged.

"I can tell that Mr. Li really likes movies." Zou Wenhuai couldn't help but sigh.

"That is, whether it is Sir Shao or Boss Lei, they all make movies to make money, and the two most influential actors in Hong Kong, Bruce Lee and Cheng Long, are both from Golden Harvest." Li Xu then said so.

Indeed, whether it is the Shaw brothers or Lei Juekun, the purpose of making movies is to make money, as long as you can make money, you can try any method, Shao Liu's stinginess is famous.

Boss Lei entered the market late, and it was past the era when he could squeeze practitioners to his heart's content, so he could only win by surprise, and he just picked up three treasures.

Only Golden Harvest, while making money, has always been obsessed with playing out and entering the European and American markets, which has led to the rise of Bruce Lee and Cheng Long. It's a pity that after the investment in the north was lost, he still did not resist the temptation, embezzled funds to speculate in real estate and led to losses, and was finally acquired by the mainland after the millennium.

"Oh? Is that how Mr. Lee sees us? Zou Wenhuai's eyes lit up after hearing Li Xu's evaluation.
