At breakfast the next day, Zheng Zhenkun said: "I thought about it last night, according to your description, in fact, this movie can already be shot very well for only 5 million Taiwan dollars, and it will cost a director who saves money to shoot it at most." ”

Wang Zijun smiled bitterly, what does Zheng Zhenkun mean by those counties, the troops, all use props to set the scene, and the aircraft air raid can even go to the information film to edit. It's just that in this way, the quality of the entire film will drop by several levels, and he won't be able to shoot the effect he wants at all.

Just like "Titanic", most of the cost was spent on the construction of the ship, and if the director rented other ships to shoot for cheapness, it would be really boring.

It's just that even Zheng Zhenkun refuses to invest, who is he going to look for? Do you have to wait for yourself to shoot two small costs first, and then make enough money to shoot "Bloody Lonely City"?

Wang Zijun began to reflect on whether he was pursuing art too much.

The pursuit of artistic perfection is good, but like Li Hanxiang, in order to pursue the quality of the film, he constantly increases investment, prolongs the production time, and finally drags down a film kingdom, which will outweigh the losses.

Some things can be flexible, such as finding a small county town and achieving the taste of Changde County through the use of sets and lenses, which saves a lot of money. Tanks and artillery were only made of wood and repainted, which saved a lot of money.

Wang Zijun roughly calculated, so that almost NT$8 million is enough. But there is no shocking scene such as the sky overlooking the ruins of Changde County, and the film is at least two levels lower.

Wang Zijun gestured and said: "5 million is not enough, at least 8 million." ”

"You are so confident that you can get how much money you can get at the box office?" Zheng Zhenkun asked.

Wang Zijun said: "There are at least 30 million in Taiwan, and there can be 25 million outside the island." ”

"How can you guarantee it?" Zheng Zhenkun asked.

"I can't guarantee that. There may be some discrepancies in the exact numbers, but they shouldn't be too different. Wang Zijun said with a smile, "I made a different anti-Japanese war film. ”

Zheng Zhenkun shook his head and said, "I can't help with this matter, it's too risky." Now Qiong Yao dramas are the highest-grossing dramas in Taiwan, but the box office of each film is only five or six million. Your 8 million investment, I'm afraid it will be in vain. ”

"What about investing in the film industry? Cathay seems to have been in trouble recently, I don't know if Mr. Zheng is not interested in acquiring you? Wang Zijun asked with a smile.

Cathay Pacific Film Company is a veteran company that moved from Shanghai to Taiwan, with a lot of talent and strength, but unfortunately due to poor management (one of the main reasons is that it was dragged down by its partner Li Hanxiang), it will soon go out of business. According to the normal development, after Hong Kong Zou Wenhuai's "Tangshan Big Brother" sold wildly, Golden Harvest, which has abundant funds, bought the set of Cathay Pacific and some of its employees as its filming base, laying the foundation for Golden Harvest's future development.

"Big Brother Tangshan" will be released next month, and the time is already very tight.

Zheng Zhenkun waved his hand and said: "I'm really not interested in movies, and I'm satisfied if I can do music well." But you can try it with Hong Jianquan, who has recently been working on an investment fund that invests in the field of culture and education. ”

"Hong Xiaoqiao's father?" Wang Zijun shook his head after thinking about it, he would rather not win Cathay Pacific and rent a studio to live in the future, rather than play with an investment fund - the old man left too deep an impression on him last time, it was an old fox, and he didn't know when he sold it.

"Master, there are two people looking for you outside, people who claim to be Golden Harvest, called Zou Wenhuai and Bruce Lee." While the two were talking, the servant came over to report.

"Zou Wenhuai?" Although Zheng Zhenkun and Zou Wenhuai knew each other, they didn't know each other very well, and they didn't understand what this person was doing when they came over early in the morning. He said to the servants, "Let them in." ”

Wang Zijun thought to himself: Speaking of Cao Cao Cao arrived, he was still thinking about Zou Wenhuai just now, and he actually came immediately.

Zou Wenhuai and Bruce Lee came hand in hand, and Zou Wenhuai smiled from afar: "Zheng Sheng, long time no see." ”

"You're not bad, you're starting your own company." Golden Harvest has not become popular at this time, and it is not at the same level as Zheng Zhenkun's Haishan Records.

"Whereever, whereever, it's just a matter of making ends meet." Zou Wenhuai smiled at Wang Zijun again, "This must be Mr. Wang." In the past few months, we have been filming in Thailand, where Mr. Wang's songs can be heard everywhere. ”

"Passing the prize." Wang Zijun said casually, his eyes went to Bruce Lee, who nodded at him. ,

Zou Wenhuai introduced: "This is Bruce Lee, the disciple of Mr. Ip Man. ”

"Hello Boss Zheng." Bruce Lee took the initiative to greet him.

"Hello." Zheng Zhenkun didn't pay much attention to the little-known Bruce Lee, and only shook hands with him politely.

The two sat down to watch tea, and after being polite for a while, Zou Wenhuai explained his intentions: "Zheng Sheng, we just made a movie. This trip is mainly to ask Haishan Company to compose a theme song for the movie. ”

"The theme song? Didn't you ask for a soundtrack? Zheng Zhenkun said strangely.

"Please, it's Gu Jiahui's soundtrack." Zou Wenhuai pointed at Wang Zijun, "But I heard that Mr. Wang Zijun came to Hong Kong and wanted to ask him to compose a song specifically for the movie." ”

Zheng Zhenkun suddenly realized that he had come to fight the autumn wind again. Whether it is Qiong Yao asking Wang Zijun to be the leading actor, or Zou Wenhuai asking him to sing the theme song, everything that values talent is floating clouds, mainly because Wang Zijun is now famous and wants to take a ride.

14K is not a one-handed cover, although it has greeted the media, but today's "Wen Wei Po" still published a large article on how the niece of Singapore's founding father was obsessed with a Taiwanese singer and committed suicide by cutting her wrists after learning that she had a girlfriend. followed by comments, talking about the impact of celebrities and artists on society now, anyway, it was more profound than the gossip news of later generations.

Zou Wenhuai and Bruce Lee came over this morning, and along the way, Hong Kong citizens talked about it with great interest, and it has become the talk of the streets and alleys. In this way, Zou Wenhuai's determination to invite Wang Zijun to sing the theme song is even greater.

"Oh, please Zijun? It depends on what he means. Zheng Zhenkun kicked the ball to Wang Zijun, and in his mind, with Wang Zijun's character, he would definitely refuse in person.

"Okay, but we'll have to talk about the price." To Zheng Zhenkun's surprise, Wang Zijun actually agreed.

"Mr. Wang, please speak." Zou Wenhuai said.

"10,000 Hong Kong dollars, but the copyright of the song is still mine." Wang Zijun said.

It is a bit extravagant to spend 10,000 Hong Kong dollars to write a song for a movie, and the copyright of the song has not been bought out. You must know that the box office of Hong Kong's blockbuster movies is only 1 million Hong Kong dollars.

However, this price is acceptable to Zou Wenhuai, after all, Wang Zijun still has to sing by himself, and the price is not outrageous, and others will not be able to do more than this money when they appear in a singing show.

Zou Wenhuai agreed: "That's it." I don't know when Mr. Wang will be able to create it, our movie will be released next month. ”

"Soon, no more than three days." Wang Zijun said.

Bruce Lee suddenly interjected: "Then let's go and see the movie first, the song should be consistent with the style of the movie, I like your song "Loyal to the Country" very much." ”

"No problem, why don't we go and see it tomorrow, we have a little more to do this afternoon." Wang Zijun said.

"Absolutely." Zou Wenhuai said.

After finishing the matter, Wang Zijun looked at Bruce Lee and said, "I heard that Mr. Li is a disciple of Master Ip Man, and he is not weak, so do you want to learn from each other?" ”

Wang Zijun is really curious about Bruce Lee's skills.

When Zou Wenhuai and Bruce Lee heard it, they both thought it was funny - it was too much to learn from Bruce Lee!
