038 Take down Lao Du

A trace of frenzy flashed in Du Qifeng's eyes, and he immediately turned into doubt.

That's right, he still has an obsession with police movies, although he says that he can distinguish priorities, but when faced with a good script, that obsession will explode in an instant, shattering his only remaining reason into powder.

If it wasn't Zhang Jin sitting opposite, but Lin Lingdong or Shen Xicheng (screenwriter of "Dragon and Tiger"), Du Qifeng would definitely agree without saying a word, but Zhang Jin ...... The two have only met twice before and after, and they know that he created "Swear Not to Bow Your Head", "The Peerless Twins" and "The Story of Ah Lang".

Judging from these three works, Zhang Jin has a certain ability to control fashion films, literary films, and costume films, especially literary films that directly cut to the point, does he also have research on police and gangster films?

The puzzled look in Du Qifeng's eyes, Zhang Jin was very familiar, he could roughly guess the other party's concerns, nodded with a smile and said: "I'm serious, the script probably has a prototype, it will take a few days to perfect, the main actors are almost ready, and what is lacking now is the crew and production staff." ”

Du Qifeng asked, "How much does it cost?" ”

Zhang Jin grinned and said frankly: "It's not much, maybe two or three million, which is a relatively small cost now, so I asked Brother Feng how much it costs to direct." ”

"Two or three million cop movies are indeed a bit less." Du Qifeng took a sip of wine and muttered, "Which company invested in the production." ”

"Me." Zhang Jin smiled and pointed at himself and said, "I'm not afraid of your jokes, the shell company has not been registered, and the most valuable person in the company is me, hehe." ”

Du Qifeng said in surprise: "You...... You don't want to invest on your own, do you? ”

"There's no way, my brother is hot-headed for a while, he has been cheated on investing in movies, and he owes a lot of debt, so I have to help clean up the mess." Zhang Jin didn't say the details, and even ignored the identity of the eldest brother's mixed club, for fear of arousing Du Qifeng's disgust.

In fact, Zhang Jin is worried about this point, which company is clean in the current Xiangjiang film and television industry? Even the leading bosses Golden Harvest and New Art City have a faint black background behind them, not to mention a film company founded by a direct community like Yongsheng.

And in recent years, there are many things that have attracted millions of dollars to invest in making movies, who has made the film market hot, as long as you have a little brains to follow the trend and shoot at a small cost, you can get back the capital.

Zhang Jin's eldest brother's investment was pitted, which was too commonplace, so Du Qifeng was not surprised at all, but sighed helplessly and said: "If this is the case, I suggest that you don't touch police movies, but take comedies with lower costs and lower box office risks." ”

"Or you can do a zombie comedy, you are a screenwriter, you should know very well that what the public needs most now is excitement, surprise, and joy, two or three million, there are no second-tier stars to support the box office, there is no good book, it is easy to lose all your money."

The meaning of Du Qifeng's words has been obvious, he is persuading Zhang Jin, since he has already suffered a loss, why continue to jump into the pit.

Zhang Jin didn't understand, but he had a hard time.

Du Qifeng thought for a while and said: "We also know each other, if you really want to make a movie, first write the script for me to see, the script is my appetite, and if you don't have to worry about letting me toss, I will charge you 200,000." ”

Two hundred thousand!

Not much, really not much at all!

With Du Qifeng's current value in the director circle, just a "Eight Star Annunciation" with a box office of more than 30 million is placed here, and others will have to ask him to be a director at least 1.8 million, and they have to count 5% of the box office dividends.

Du Qifeng was only willing to accept 200,000 yuan, which not only gave Zhang Jin face, but also showed his sincerity.

"Brother Feng...... Don't say too many words of gratitude, it's all in the wine! Zhang Jin raised his head and poured wine.

"Haha, you kid, it's a police movie, you have to have the right appetite!" Du Qifeng also drank with him.

Zhang Jin wiped the wine stains from his mouth, bared his teeth and said, "Don't worry, it must be on your appetite." ”

Shootouts, police and bandits, action scenes, Zhang Jin quickly flashed several movies in his mind, and finally locked on one of them.

That's it!

Maybe Du Qifeng didn't expect that it was the attempt of this small-budget film that allowed him to find his own unique style, and then the cooperative relationship with Zhang Jin was stronger.

……

When he returned home, Zhang Jin was a little dizzy, this was the first time he had drunk so much wine since he crossed over.

On the one hand, he got a script fee of 60,000 yuan, which is the first pot of gold, although it is not much, but it is easy to get, Zhang Jin believes that this is just the beginning, as long as "The Story of Ah Lang" is released, he will be upgraded in the screenwriting circle, and the price of the script will be doubled.

On the other hand, he received support from Du Qifeng, since the crossing, Zhang Jin has not forgotten the matter of his eldest brother, and finding the director today is a very critical step, as long as Du Qifeng agrees, it is relatively easy to create a crew.

"It's not easy!" Zhang Jin was full of emotion in his heart, and returned to the house in a daze, and fell asleep directly on the bed.

I don't know how long it took, Zhang Jin was alert to hear the sound of the key opening the door.

Shaohua should have come over and called me to dinner, right?

Zhang Jin didn't get up either, and continued to lie there.

After a while, he heard Chen Shaohua complaining, "Why do you drink again, oops, your clothes will be folded when you sleep on your stomach, and the stinky master doesn't know how to take care of herself at all." ”

Chen Shaohua complained and came to the bedside, pushed Zhang Jin, and after seeing that he didn't react, he pursed his lips and snorted coldly: "I sleep like a dead pig!" Then he turned Zhang Jin over and began to help Zhang Jin...... Undress.

Zhang Jin closed his eyes and enjoyed it, sighing in his heart, tsk, there is still a female apprentice, she can usually be eye-catching, and she can take care of it at critical moments, how considerate!

As everyone knows, the corners of this guy's mouth curled up under the pride, and he happened to be caught by Chen Shaohua.

"You're pretending to be asleep!" Chen Shaohua pounded Zhang Jin's chest hard, and said angrily: "Lazy Master is about to get up and eat!" ”

Zhang Jin sat up and said with a hippie smile: "Hey, it's rare for you to take the initiative to take care of it so kindly, don't you enjoy it, wouldn't it be a shame to be filial to you." ”

"Humph!" Chen Shaohua said extremely depressedly: "You enjoyed it, I'm angry." ”

"Well, I'm just kidding you, so I don't get angry."

Chen Shaohua said: "It wasn't you who provoked it, it was my boss who called, he said a lot on the phone and threatened me ......"

"Is that fat, lewd fellow?" Zhang Jin was immediately annoyed when he heard this, "Damn, is that bastard blind, and he doesn't see whose apprentice you are, he dares to threaten you, go, take me to him, beat him and can't take care of himself!" ”
