For Zhao Xing personally calling to invite the audition, Zhang Chunshu of course couldn't help but be overjoyed, after all, where is Zhao Xing's title of "two billion" director. Pen @ fun @ pavilion wWw. ｂｉｑUｇE。 ｉｎｆｏ

In the current film and television industry, there is a saying that has begun to circulate: "If you want to become famous overnight, then please star in Zhao Xing's movie."

And now, Zhang Chunshu has also been given this opportunity.

Zhang Chunshu has been an actor for more than 20 years since his debut at the age of 17, because of his personal temperament and style, he has basically starred in costume dramas, so his acting skills are not to say, but after all, he is too limited, so in the past 20 years, he has been able to step into the ranks of second-tier stars.

The audition is naturally commonplace for Zhang Chunshu, and there is no problem at all, and Zhao Xing is also very satisfied with Zhang Chunshu's play, so the role of Zhuge Liang is already a sure thing for Zhang Chunshu.

After that, Cao Cao, Zhou Yu and the candidates for each role in the play were basically determined within a week.

Among them, the least famous among them are second-tier stars, and there are many first-tier stars.

In terms of lineup, it can be called an all-star lineup.

In fact, to be honest, in the movie "Red Cliff", there is no absolute male protagonist, it is to attract everyone's attention with shocking war scenes.

Movies with this theme test the director's skills more than some romance or comedy movies.

This is also the reason why Zhao Xing chose this "Red Cliff".

Because after "Thai Embarrassment" and "Where Are You Going, Dad", Zhao Xing's directing value has already exceeded 70 points and reached 74 points.

And these seventy-four director attribute values, according to the system's painting style, have already stepped into the ranks of first-line directors in China.

With the popularity of "Thirty-three Days of Broken Love" and "Thai Embarrassment", Zhao Xing has gained fame and fortune, and some people have positioned Zhao Xing as an urban film director of romantic comedies.

This historical "Red Cliff" is a movie in which Zhao Xing wants to break through himself and prove himself.

In the Purple Star Entertainment Media Hall, it was already densely packed with reporters at this time, waiting for the appearance of Zhao Xing and others one by one.

When the time came to ten o'clock in the morning, the halls were suddenly opened, and Zhao Xing slowly opened the door with more than a dozen people and walked in.

Seeing the appearance of Zhao Xing and others, the reporters suddenly cheered up, raised their cameras and took pictures at Zhao Xing and his party.

The launch conference of "Red Cliff" can be called the largest launch conference held by Zhao Xing, including Zhao Xing, as many as 17 people participated in this launch conference.

Among them, the least famous is Zhang Chunshu.

Looking at these celebrities who are more famous than himself, Zhang Chunshu was very excited, and in addition to being excited, he was full of gratitude to Zhao Xing.

After all, he has also read the script and knows that although there is no absolute protagonist in "Red Cliff", Zhuge Liang has a lot of scenes.

With Zhao Xing and others sitting down, the press conference of "Red Cliff" officially began, and the deputy minister of the Propaganda Department presided over the press conference.

I saw that after he saw Zhao Xing nodding, he hurriedly coughed a few times, and said to the reporters: "Ahem, reporters and friends, please be quiet, now I announce the official start of the "Red Cliff" launch conference, before asking questions, I have a few points to explain." ”

"First, because there are too many reporters on the scene, each reporter can only have one opportunity to ask a question, and each question can only have one question."

"Second, because this is the launch conference of "Red Cliff", when you ask questions, please ask questions related to this movie, and we have the right not to answer questions other than this."

"Thirdly, personal attacks and fabrication of false statements are strictly prohibited when reporting, and once discovered, we do not rule out using legal means to defend their rights, so please consciously cooperate."

"Okay, now the questions will begin, and the first one will be the reporter sitting in the third row, the fourth."

The first person to be named was naturally the reporter of "Modu Entertainment Daily", who had a good relationship with Purple Star Entertainment Media, and in this regard, although some reporters from other newspapers felt very sour, they had no other way but to cast envious glances at that reporter.

In the envious eyes of a group of reporters, the reporter of "Modu Entertainment Daily" slowly stood up and asked directly at Zhao Xing: "May I ask Director Zhao, will the movie "Red Cliff" really invest 200 million?" Or will it include the cost of post-promotion? ”

Listening to this reporter's words, Zhao Xing smiled slightly and said: "Of course it won't be counted as the publicity cost in the later stage, in fact, to be honest, to shoot this "Red Cliff", 200 million yuan is indeed not enough, after all, with these stars joining, this is also what I didn't think about before, so I'm ready to double it and add it to 400 million yuan......"

As Zhao Xing's words just fell, the whole scene suddenly sounded a burst of gasping sounds.

After all, although the current film environment is much better than before, the investment of 200 million yuan still shocks countless people.

But now, Zhao Xing even has to make additional investment, and it has directly doubled to 400 million yuan.

What is the concept of $400 million?

Three years ago, it was 400 million yuan, which was almost the top five box office results of the year.

And looking at Zhao Xing's tone, it seems that there is not enough meaning to continue to add.

The second reporter who stood up was a man in his thirties, and he only asked: "Director Zhao, what kind of movie is this "Red Cliff", which will cost more than 400 million investments?" ”

The meaning of this reporter is obvious, don't think that we are nothing, we have also seen the clip of the "Battle of Red Cliffs" in the Three Kingdoms, although the war scene is grand, but it doesn't need 400 million yuan.

Listening to this reporter's questioning, Zhao Xing did not get angry, but smiled and said: "How is 400 million?" I don't think there are many, and everyone knows that the "Battle of Red Cliffs" is the largest naval battle among the Three Kingdoms. ”

"And the movie "Red Cliff", I positioned it as the first 3D movie in China, in which I will use a lot of special effects shots, but the domestic special effects do need to be improved, and they cannot meet my requirements for the time being, so I specially contacted an American special effects company to produce it."

"According to them, the current investment of 400 million is only a conservative estimate, and it is very likely that additional investment will be needed later."

Listening to Zhao Xing's words, the reporters were even more shocked in their hearts.

3d？ Special effect? 400 million is not enough? Need to add more?

At this moment, there is only one thought in the hearts of the reporters - Zhao Xing, is he crazy?
