……

Liu Dehua smiled, shook his head, and said casually: "$15,000, hehe......" That look was obviously disdainful!

It's like saying: What good movie can be made for $15,000?

Lin Ze didn't calculate this catastrophe even if he didn't calculate it, and said angrily: "It's just 15,000, why don't Brother Hua give himself a chance?!" ”

Liu Dehua still shook his head.

Lin Ze knew that he was not stingy, otherwise he would have spent millions to buy Lin Ze's songs?

He is actually really not optimistic about the story Lin Ze said.

$15,000 to make a movie? Uh, and still want to release it in North America?

Is this possible? Even if it increases the cost tenfold, $150,000, it is absolutely impossible!!

Lin Ze was speechless, glanced at Liu Dehua, and said in his belly: "No wonder Tianmu wants to lose, hum!" You deserve it! ”

He's just whining.

^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^

Soon arrived at the villa, and as soon as I entered the door, I asked for a gluttonous fragrance.

Zhu Liqian was in the open kitchen, and when she saw them coming back, she turned around and smiled, "Are you back?" Wash your hands, I've got you covered! ”

After washing their hands, the two sat down at the dining table, Lin Ze took out the notebook and was about to read the script to Liu Dehua.

Your sister, he is very considerate, and he went to serve the food as a husband, but it made Lin Ze look like a young master sitting and waiting to eat.

Lin Ze was not so thick-skinned, so he also went to help.

Zhu Liqian is a superb cook and makes a good dish.

Lin Ze ate with relish, and he couldn't get enough.

At the end, he patted his stomach and sighed: "Alas, after eating the food cooked by my sister-in-law, and then eating the others, it feels like chewing wax!" ”

Zhu Liqian was extremely happy when she heard the praise, got up with a smile and cleaned up the dishes and chopsticks, and teased: "Won't Xinru do it?" Hehe, I'm afraid that if you eat what she made, you will say that your sister-in-law's cooking is useless. ”

Liu Dehua smiled.

Lin Ze shook his head and smiled bitterly, as far as he knew, it was not good that Lin Xinru couldn't cook at all?

In the living room, the three of them sat on the sofa, there was a music program on TV, and several songs written by Lin Ze were introduced at one time, and the host was amazed.

Lin Ze had the opportunity to open the notebook at this time, pushed it on the coffee table in front of Liu Dehua, and said, "Brother Hua, this is the script, you can take a look and draw conclusions!" ”

Liu Dehua smiled bitterly and said to Li Ze: "You really don't give up." ”

Zhu Liqian was beside her, and said in surprise: "Script? It's good so soon? As he spoke, he picked up his notebook.

When I saw it, I was shocked.

"What's wrong?" Liu Dehua also looked at it curiously, and when he looked up, he was also surprised, and when he looked up and asked Lin Zedao, "You really know how to write scripts?" ”

It turned out that as soon as he read the script, he knew that the person who wrote it must be very professional. Zhu Liqian also thought that Lin Ze couldn't write a script, she had seen Liu Dehua's filming script, so she was taken aback when she saw it.

Lin Ze shrugged, took a sip of tea, and pretended to be forced: "Without diamonds, how dare I do porcelain work?" ”

Liu Dehua glanced at him, his demeanor was whole, he didn't say anything, and continued to read the script.

Lin Ze's script is written in great detail.

How about the set, how about the shots, how about the lighting atmosphere, how the actors performed, everything.

It's like a director's shooting guide, just follow this script.

Nearly an hour later, Liu Dehua and Zhu Liqian finished reading the script.

The director's script, to a certain extent, is a God's perspective, and there is no sense of substitution.

Liu Dehua's brows furrowed.

After reading it, Zhu Liqian didn't feel anything, pouted, and said in her heart: It seems that Aze can only write songs!

"How?" Lin Ze asked Zhu Liqian, he still wanted Zhu Liqian to do Liu Dehua's work!

"Hmm......" Zhu Liqian looked at Lin Ze with an expectant face, couldn't bear to blow, frowned and said vaguely: "Well, ah, it's not bad." ”

Lin Ze saw her demeanor and tone, how could he not understand, and he felt a sense of loss in his heart.

I'm going, I originally wanted to pull an alliance, but I don't know it's also an opposition!

"Aze." Seeing this, Zhu Liqian comforted: "Why don't you let Brother Hua buy the script and shoot it in Hong Kong?" ”

She couldn't bear Lin Ze's disappointment! After all, people take their own affairs to heart, and it took an afternoon! This is a good feeling!

"Holy!" Lin Ze was completely speechless, touched his forehead, and secretly shouted: God, kill me!

^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^

"Ah, yes." Lin Ze suddenly had an idea and asked, "Sister-in-law, do you know the movie 'Blair the Witch'?" ”

Zhu Liqian shook her head and said blankly, "I haven't heard of it." ”

Lin Ze asked Andy Lau, who was in a daze, again, "Brother Hua, what about you?" ”

Liu Dehua didn't hear it in a daze, and he didn't know what he was doing.

Zhu Liqian thought he was worried about the company, so she patted his hand lightly and woke him up, "Aze asked you?" ”

"Ah, what's the matter?" Liu Dehua turned around and asked Lin Zedao.

Julie said: "Aze asked if you knew a movie, well, called 'Blair the Witch'." ”

"Blair the witch?" Liu Dehua thought for a while and said, "I haven't heard of it." ”

"No wonder!" Lin Ze secretly said that this is the case, when he introduced this masterpiece to them.

"The film was released in the United States at the beginning of this year, and it's about ......"

"This film, like ours, was not shot with professional equipment, but took the pseudo-documentary route......

In the end, Lin Ze said excitedly: "...... Crucially, it costs less than $1 million, but it grosses a whopping ...... $248 million!! ”

"Hiss~" Zhu Liqian was startled when she heard this.

248 million, or dollars? How many Hong Kong dollars does this cost? …… More than a billion Hong Kong dollars!

Liu Dehua was also quite surprised, opened his mouth slightly, and was a little incredulous, "So many?!" ”

Seeing their surprised expressions, Lin Ze said in his heart: Hehe, the ultra-low cost, but there is an extremely huge profit, I don't believe you are not impressed!

continued to flicker: "Actually, it's not surprising, this kind of suspense horror film, unlike blockbusters that rely on high investment to produce big scenes, it is completely distracted, and it tests the actors' acting skills the most......"

^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^

……

"Hiss~" Zhu Liqian was startled when she heard this.

248 million. Or the dollar? How many Hong Kong dollars does this cost? …… More than a billion Hong Kong dollars!

Liu Dehua was also quite surprised, opened his mouth slightly, and was a little incredulous, "So many?!" ”

Seeing their surprised expressions, Lin Ze said in his heart: Hehe, the ultra-low cost, but there is an extremely huge profit, I don't believe you are not impressed!

continued to flicker: "Actually, it's not surprising, this kind of suspense horror film, unlike blockbusters that rely on high investment and make big scenes, he is completely distracted, and it tests the actors' acting skills the most...... Moreover, the American film market is mature, with more than 4,000 theaters and nearly 40,000 screens in the United States......"

Lin Ze said a lot of words, and as he spoke, he was stunned, ah, by the way, the number of screens in China now...... He thought about it and searched for information, and there were only more than 1,000 yuan in the country!

This is a huge market gap!

Lin Zeden was blessed to the soul, and London made money in gold, so he could invest in this area.

Well, the United States has a population of more than 300 million people and 40,000 screens. There are more than 1.2 billion people in China, four times that of the United States, so to be conservative, how can China have 100,000 screens to barely saturate the market, right?

There are 333 prefecture-level cities and 2,861 counties in China, and on average, there are 30 screens in each place...... Lin Ze began to silently calculate the cinema industry in his heart......

After listening to Lin Ze's words, Liu Dehua was very moved, in fact, when he read the script again just now, he was thinking about the appearance of the film in his mind, and felt that this script was very dramatic!

"Well......" Liu Dehua thought about it, 15,000 US dollars, the cost is very low, there is no burden on him, as for the box office, he dare not imagine hundreds of millions, as long as it breaks 10 million US dollars, it will make a lot of money, and the company can not only come back to life, but also get a working capital.

"Let's make this movie!" Zhu Liqian excitedly said to Andy Lau: "Anyway, even if you lose all your money, it's just that, and you don't have to ...... with a lot of debts."

He was obviously bluffed by the huge box office that Lin Ze said.

Lin Ze looked at Liu Dehua nervously, and prayed in his heart: Brother Hua, Brother Hua, my own brother, don't refuse!

"Hmm!"

Fortunately, God seemed to hear Lin Ze's request, and Liu Dehua nodded and said, "Okay, we made this movie!" ”

Lin Ze was overjoyed, stroked his palms and smiled: "Great! ”

Zhu Liqian hugged Liu Dehua, kissed him on the face, was extremely excited, and raised her hand and said: "Okay, we will also make hundreds of millions of dollars back, see how those reporters write!" Hum! ”

Liu Dehua smiled, hundreds of millions? Damn, honey, you dare to think about it! If this is heard by reporters, tomorrow the newspapers will be all published, and I will have to be ridiculed to death!

"Huh!" Lin Ze accompanied Zhu Liqian and said with a smile: "Sister-in-law, those reporters must have been shocked to drop their glasses at that time!" ”

Liu Dehua smiled bitterly when he heard this: "Aze, you really dare to think about it, I don't ask for hundreds of millions, just thank God for asking for tens of millions!" ”

Million?

Lin Ze skimmed, very disdainful in his heart, and said secretly: Liu Tianwang, you are too unambitious!

^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^

The company's huge losses are like a mountain, which has been pressing Liu Dehua breathlessly, and as soon as he decided to shoot this "Smart: Ghost Shadow", he immediately entered the working state.

Zhu Liqian saw Liu Dehua pulling Lin Ze upstairs into the study, shook her head, followed upstairs, and poured water for the two of them, and then went downstairs again.

Liu Dehua and Lin Ze discussed in the study for a while, and Lin Ze talked about the shooting and publicity strategies.

made Liu Dehua stunned, and he was also quite optimistic about this movie.

Nearly an hour later.

Liu Dehua looked at the printed script and some notes made from the conversation between the two just now, frowned slightly, and suddenly said: "Aze, this movie was made by our company, but this script ......"

He put down the script notes and looked at Lin Ze, "Are you selling to our company, or are you buying shares?" ”

Lin Zezheng took a sip of tea, was stunned when he heard this, waved his hand and said, "What does Brother Hua mean by this?" I gave this script to ......."

Before Lin Ze finished speaking, Liu Dehua stretched out his hand and pressed it on the script, pushed it forward, and said, "Aze, if you say such a thing, then you should take this script back." ”

"Huh? Brother Hua ......" Lin Ze stood up and said, "You help me, how can I still ask for your money!" Pushed the script to Liu Dehua again.

Liu Dehua shook his head and said: "There may be a loss in album sales, but the release of several classic songs together will also be extremely helpful to increase popularity, and my worth will also rise significantly......."

"Brother Hua, don't say it again!" Lin Ze said categorically: "You treat me as a brother, and I am the same!" ”

"Uh......" Liu Dehua looked at Lin Ze for a long time, and saw that his attitude was absolutely clear, I was afraid that no matter what he said, he would not listen.

"Alas~" sighed, stood up, patted Lin Ze on the shoulder and said, "Then let's do it, my company has filmed the movie, since you don't want money, then join the shares!" ”

"Brother Hua, I'm ......" Lin Zedeng was anxious.

Liu Dehua smiled and didn't say much on this topic, "Well, Aze, how about you think Wang Jing will make this movie?" ”

Lin Ze smiled helplessly, the temper of the Heavenly King is really stubborn!

Wang Jing?

This is a great director, known as a ghost director in Hong Kong.

The classic works are the well-known God of Gamblers series and Crazy Boy series, and he has also collaborated with Stephen Chow in many classic movies, such as "The Legend of Truant Heroes", "Super School Overlord", "Changing Star King" and so on.

His father Wang Tianlin is even more remarkable, following the sixth uncle of the entertainment tycoon Shao Yifu, and has the reputation of the godfather of the Hong Kong film industry, and he is full of peach and plum.

Wang Jing has a more ghostly temperament and can't stand Shao Yifu's harsh management style, so although he is talented, he did not join the arms of Shaw Brothers, so Shao Yifu also has some dislike for Wang Jing.

Wang Jing's talent was also favored by the entertainment tycoon Xiang, coerced and lured, and half-willingly and half-reluctantly made many films for Xiang's.

There are many labels on Wang Jing's films: vulgar, erotic, and market...... He was criticized, but he never explained or argued.

But no matter what public opinion says, one thing has to be admitted, the movies made by Wang Jing can make money, and there are very few losses.

But even so, Lin Ze said to Liu Dehua that he would invite Wang Jing to shoot this ghost, and he was still extremely surprised, "Don't you need Andy?" There is no difficulty in the filming of this movie, and it can be completed in about a week, do you need to invite such a big name? Any director can do it! ”

Liu Dehua smiled when he heard this, "Aze, don't you know that Wang Jing of Tianmu Company also has 5% of the shares, and now at the end of the year, he has no drama in his hands, and he is idle when he is idle, so wouldn't it be a waste if he doesn't have free labor?" ”

Belch......

Lin Ze was embarrassed and touched his forehead.

Liu Dehua smiled again, "The film is a big hit, and he wants to share the money, how can there be such a cheap thing?" As he spoke, he picked up the phone on his desk, dialed it, and called Wang Jing.

"Hey, Ah Jing, I'm Andy...... Why are you so noisy? …… Well, there's something, I have a movie in my hand, and I want you to make it...... It's not literary, rest assured! …… Well, the suspenseful horror ...... of the small cost"

After talking for a few minutes, Liu Dehua hung up the phone and smiled bitterly at Lin Ze: "This Ah Jing is in a nightclub, he will come over immediately, let's wait." ”

^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^

After waiting in the study for about half an hour, I heard a person downstairs making a lustful joke, "Oh, Qianqian, it's beautiful again, it seems that Andy has been very diligent recently, you have been moisturized!" Haha~~~"

"Phew, you fat man! Stop me! ”

"Hahaha......, Andy, your wife beats someone, you don't care! Oooooooo

Liu Dehua smiled bitterly: "This Ah Jing is ......"

Lin Ze turned around, also curious about this person.

I saw the study door open, and a short and fat middle-aged man walked in.

He was full of spring, wearing a coquettish pink T-shirt on top and a pair of fat jeans underneath.

Holding a sweet orange in his left hand, he took two bites, his face was full of smiles, and when he saw Lin Ze, he swept it over him, his eyes lit up, and he shouted: "Hey, Andy, who is this pretty boy?" ”

Lin Ze smiled and was about to stand up to say hello.

Wang Jing hurriedly took a few steps forward, waved his hand hurriedly, and said: "Don't stand up, don't stand up, your pretty boy looks like it's putting me under pressure, if I stand up, I'll be even more pressured, hahaha~~~"

Liu Dehua shook his head and laughed.

Lin Ze couldn't help laughing, this Wang Jing, no wonder he can make those funny movies!

Lin Ze was better than obeying his orders, so he didn't stand up, stretched out his hand and said, "Hello Director Wang, I'm ......"

Wang Jing stretched out his hand and shook Lin Ze, he didn't care if Lin Ze didn't stand up, but he didn't have the heart to listen to Lin Ze's self-introduction, and asked Liu Dehua: "Andy, where is the script?" Take it for me to see. ”

asked so, but he had already seen the script on the desk, and reached out to pick it up.

Belch......

Lin Ze touched his nose in disdain.

Liu Dehua threw an apologetic look at Lin Ze, who shook his head and said that he was fine.

At this time, Julie Qian walked in with a plate of cut oranges.

Liu Dehua made a silent gesture to him and pointed at Wang Jing.

Zhu Liqian nodded, took a petal and handed it to Lin Ze......
