Chapter 224: Reminder
After listening to Lei Juewen's words, Xu Anhua shook his head and said: "This film was found by Director Xia Meng, and the copyright of the script is in the hands of Qingdao producers, and now it is completely impossible to leave Qingdao producers alone." Pen & Fun & Pavilion www.biquge.info"
Lei Juewen also knew that it was impossible, and thought for a while and said: "Ms. Xu, you can help me ask Ms. Xia Meng, and ask her if she is willing to sell the script to me, and I am willing to bid 200,000 Hong Kong dollars to buy the ownership of this script." ”
"Two hundred thousand Hong Kong dollars? Mr. Lei, you're bidding too high, aren't you? ”
Xu Anhua was stunned when he heard this, for a script, 200,000 Hong Kong dollars is too much, the Hong Kong Island film industry does not pay attention to the script at all, a script has a price of 10,000 Hong Kong dollars, 200,000 Hong Kong dollars, it has directly increased tenfold, and Qingdao producers can already make a lot of money without making this film.
Lei Juewen shook his head and said: "I am very optimistic about this film, so this price is within my affordability." ”
Xu Anhua said: "Mr. Lei, I will tell Director Xia Meng about this matter, I don't know if she is willing or not." Anyway, I'll get back to you as soon as possible. ”
"I'm sorry for you." Lei Juewen said with a smile.
"Mr. Lei, I delayed you a lot of time today, so I'll leave here first."
Xu Anhua stood up, after the film was discussed, she was naturally leaving.
"I'll send you." Lei Juewen also stood up, and Chen Yulian stood up with Xu Anhua, obviously leaving.
Lei Juewen sent Xu Anhua and Chen Yulian downstairs, and after sending the two out of the building, he turned around and went back to the building.
Xu Anhua and Chen Yulian walked on the street, Xu Anhua said to Chen Yulian apologetically: "Xiao Chen, I originally thought that if this film could get investment, I would recommend you to play a role in it, but now it seems that there is no hope." ”
Chen Yulian shook her head and said: "Sister Xu, don't say that, just recommend me to film, I'm still worried that my acting skills are not enough." ”
Xu Anhua said with a smile: "Your acting skills are definitely enough, but you don't like to take the initiative to fight, so you haven't had a chance." Xiao Chen, let me tell you, since you have entered this circle, although you can't say that you will sacrifice anything for the role, you still have to fight for what should belong to you. If you don't fight for it, other actors take the initiative to fight for it, there are so many roles, and you will have few opportunities. ”
Chen Yulian said: "Sister Xu, I'm like this, I can't change it." ”
Xu Anhua shook his head when he heard this, and no longer persuaded him, this character problem could not be changed by her persuasion in a few words, and she had no choice.
The investment in "Running to the Angry Sea" is a wake-up call to Lei Juewen, if the films of the approaching year are not taken out for filming, they may appear in advance because of his problems, so what he needs to do now is not to take out the good films of the 21st century to shoot, but to shoot the high-grossing films in his memory for the next year, so that it can not only hit the opponent, but also relatively protect the box office of the film, and the risk is very small.
Because of his ideas, Lei Juewen began to screen the high-grossing Hong Kong films in the next two years after Xu Anhua and Chen Yulian left.
In 81, there were ten high-grossing films such as "Modern Protection", "Chasing Girls", "Ghost Horse and Wisdom and Many Stars", "The Brave and Fearless", "Happy Fairy Nest", "A Thousand Kings Fighting a Thousand Tyrants", "A Can on an errand", "Murder List", "The Story of Hu Yue", "Young Master Dragon and Tiger", these ten high-grossing films, the films are definitely more than these, but Lei Juewen only remembers these ten.
Among the ten films, "Happy Fairy Nest" and "Thousand Kings Fighting Thousand Tyrants" have already been filmed, and among the remaining eight films, Lei Juewen remembers that the two films "Chasing Girls" and "Ghost Horse Wisdom and Many Stars" were filmed by Xinyicheng, so he doesn't have to rush to shoot, anyway, it is filmed by Xinyicheng, and he can take the lion's share. Among the remaining six films, "Modern Protection" has the highest box office, being the box office champion in 81, with a box office of more than 17 million Hong Kong dollars.
"Modern Protection" is invested by Golden Harvest and Xu's Films, and this film is what Lei Juewen should shoot the most at present. It's only June, and since this film was released in 81, this film should not have started filming yet, and he can take it out and shoot it now, and at the same time hit his opponent, he made a lot of money himself.
In 82, Lei Juewen has twelve high-grossing films in his memory, such as "Best Partner", "Difficult Brothers", "Shaolin Temple", "Defection to the Angry Sea", "Little Fear", "Beware of Little Hands", "Young Master Long", "Pretty Girl", "Eighteen Kinds of Martial Arts", "Loser", "The Palm of God", and "The Legend of the Sparrow Heroes".
Among them, "Best Partner" and "The Legend of the Sparrow Heroes" have already started filming, and "Running to the Angry Sea" is afraid that it will also start filming and can be removed; "Shaolin Temple" is a film shot in the mainland, so you don't have to think about it. Among the remaining films, "Difficult Brothers" and "Little Fear" were invested and filmed by Xinyicheng, "Pretty Girl" was filmed by Mai Chuixiong, and "Young Master Long" and "Loser" are films filmed by Golden Harvest. The box office of "Eighteen Kinds of Martial Arts" and "The Palm of God" is relatively low, even if they are used for filming, they still have to be considered. is also "Beware of Little Hands" is good, the actors are easy to find, and the box office is also very high, with a box office of more than 10 million Hong Kong dollars.
However, compared with the film released in 82, it is natural that the film that will be released in 81 will be shot first, that is, the film "Modern Protection" will be shot first, so as not to set up a project with Xu's Pictures, and he will not be able to shoot it when he wants to.
The film "Modern Protection", Lei Juewen did not decide to shoot it himself, if he could, he wanted to invite Xu Guangwen of Xu's Pictures to shoot together, and the lineup of the film was not adjusted too much, at most, the original Golden Harvest actors were replaced by ATV actors.
Lei Juewen and Xu Guangwen don't know each other, so it is impossible for him to find Xu's Pictures directly, but fortunately, because of the relationship between "Best Partner", he and Xu Guangjie still know each other, and if he contacts Xu Guangwen through Xu Guangjie, at least he will not find someone.
Xu's Pictures and Golden Harvest have cooperation, Lei Juewen is not sure whether Xu Guangwen will choose to cooperate with him, but if Xu Guangwen is not willing to cooperate, then there is no way, so he can only shoot himself. Anyway, no matter what, as long as this film has not been made by Xu's Pictures, he will shoot it, and he will not let go of such a good film. (To be continued.) )
