Chen Shaoyi roughly calculated the budget of this "Nightclub" and found that it cost about 1.3 million, which is mainly due to the relatively high value of Xu Guanwen and others, and the real shooting does not require so much money.

Speaking of which, the brothers Xu Guanwen and Xu Guanying are still full of righteousness and meaning, and in order to support Chen Shaoyi's maiden director, they only received a friendship salary of 400,000 yuan and 200,000 yuan respectively. As for Xu Guanjie's cameo, he didn't give a penny, according to Xu Guanjie's words, this was an exchange for his concert invitation to Chen Shaoyi, Chen Shaoyi understood that Xu Guanjie was joking with himself, but the buddies don't have to worry so much.

The charter wife and the fat cat were sent away with 50,000 yuan each, these two people are not big names at the moment, although they are not newcomers, they are not popular, they are not worth much, and 50,000 yuan has excited them for a long time.

And Uncle Hua doesn't have many scenes, Chen Shaoyi also means that it is enough to seal a red envelope of 20,000 yuan.

There is also the robber, Uncle Hua recommended his godson Wan Ziliang, Wan Ziliang has gradually emerged since his debut in Li in 77, and he is also a powerful and idol actor, to be able to play the robber, Chen Shaoyi has nothing else to say, naturally there is no need. Besides, no matter what everyone says, it's a bit of a kinship, and it's also appropriate to help each other.

Wan Ziliang is also a pink newcomer in the film industry, and Chen Shaoyi's salary is the same as that of a chartered wife and a fat cat, which is 50,000 yuan.

The last is his girlfriend Mi Xue, Mi Xue originally didn't want Chen Shaoyi's salary, but Chen Shaoyi considered that Mi Xue would still take other people's plays in the future, and it would be better to raise her value a little, so he gave Mi Xue 250,000.

In fact, Mi Xue's worth at this time is not so high, at most it is more than 150,000, and 200,000 is the sky, at this time, the salary of female stars is still much worse than that of male stars, and Mi Xue's reputation in the film industry is not very big, and the general director will not offer a price as high as 250,000. But Chen Shaoyi believes that after Mi Xue finishes this "Nightclub", she will definitely be worth 250,000 yuan, and she will raise her worth now, and it will be more convenient for Mi Xue to negotiate with others in the future, and her girlfriend will naturally have to help more.

In this way, if you don't count yourself, the actor's salary will be about one million, and the remaining 300,000 yuan to shoot "Nightclub" is still more than rubbing, "Nightclub" is a very simple film, maybe 300,000 yuan is not used, and the rest of the money can be used for publicity in the later stage of the film.

This time, Chen Shaoyi is a master, he has enough money on him, and the budget investment of 1.3 million yuan for the entire "Nightclub" is made by himself, and he does not share shares with others like the previous "Modern Bodyguard". Besides, in addition to the actors' salaries in this film, the real investment is so much, if you are doing something to buy shares with salary, Chen Shaoyi will still make a fart.

Xu Guanwen and others also understand this truth, so they didn't mention it, even if they really want to cooperate, it has to be a big production, just with this more than one million low-cost movies, how embarrassed are they to propose to buy shares with remuneration, doesn't this make both parties look good? And this is also Chen Shaoyi's debut director.

After everything was ready, on August 8, "Nightclub" held a launch conference on time.

Chen Shaoyi participated in the opening ceremonies of the two movies "Modern Bodyguard" and "Ghost Fight", and he can be regarded as experiencing some scenes; However, this time is not much different from the previous two times, the protagonists of the last two times are the Xu brothers and Hong Jinbao, and he is just an escort, this time Chen Shaoyi is a well-deserved protagonist.

"Nightclub" was invested by Chen Shaoyi, the director is also him, and he is one of the main actors in the play, what is not the protagonist.

Chen Shaoyi sat in the center of the interview desk in high spirits, wearing the same set of black clothes and black pants, and the main actors of "Nightclub" such as the Xu brothers and Mi Xue sat on both sides, and even Xu Guanjie, who was playing tricks, came to support Chen Shaoyi.

Chen Shaoyi looked at the huge performance lineup on both sides, and his heart was very happy, these are one of the best actors in Hong Kong, even if some are not famous now, but the future generations are also a mountain to look up to. But now these people have to listen to their own dispatches, it is impossible for Chen Shaoyi to be unhappy in his heart, and they all said that he is a stuffy person.

Let's talk about it here, since Chen Shaoyi made the classic appearance of the original "The Matrix" in "Modern Bodyguard", it has been sought after by many people, and the degree of popularity has caught up with Xu Wenqiang's suit in March; This kind of black clothes and black pants on the market are sold out of stock, and they are especially popular with the old boys, if you go out to negotiate and don't wear such a set of "robes", the momentum of the negotiation will be a little weaker than the other party, it seems that Chen Shaoyi inadvertently made the underworld really become a "black" society.

"Mr. Chen, it is said that you are going to direct and act in this "Nightclub", right?" Wang Ping, a reporter from "Film Fortnightly", spoke first.

"Yes, Napoleon said that a soldier who doesn't want to be a general is not a good soldier, I think it's very good, since I'm very interested in movies, I naturally want to be the leader of a crew, and this "Nightclub" is the first film and television work I will shoot with my own hands."

"The so-called interlacing is like a mountain, what confidence does Mr. Chen have that he thinks he can shoot this "Nightclub" well?"

"Faith, I never lack faith, faith can be said to be the foundation of a person's life, a person without faith will achieve nothing. As for whether you can shoot "Nightclub" well, then you have to go to the theater to watch it, if it's good, don't forget to give a good review in your own media! ”

Chen Shaoyi's firm and humorous words amused everyone at the scene, and he couldn't help but sigh in his heart that Chen Shaoyi deserved the name of a talented man, and what he said was indeed very interesting.

So the reporter of "Oriental Daily" got up and asked: "Mr. Chen, now many people say that you are a talent, and your talent is not under the 'four talents of Xiangjiang', what do you think of yourself?" ”

"This is all politely praised by everyone, needless to say, the talents of the four predecessors are very clear to the world, and I myself admire them very much. As for myself, it is not so much a talent as a "tailor", a tailor's tailor, if I tell you that this set of clothes on my body is cut by myself, do you believe it? Chen Shaoyi will not fall into the trap that this reporter has set for himself.

This kind of questioning of others is the most dangerous, if you don't answer well, it is easy to offend people, Chen Shaoyi has seen a lot, and he doesn't find it difficult to deal with it.

Since the question of genius is asked, the next question naturally is......

"Mr. Chen, can you tell us about you and Miss Deng Lijun? The relationship between the two of you should be very shallow. A reporter from the gossipy "Sing Tao Daily" raised this question.

Chen Shaoyi frowned secretly, it was not that the reporter's question stumped Chen Shaoyi, but Mi Xue secretly gave Chen Shaoyi a "love" mark under the table, obviously our sister Ling was unhappy.

"I would like to take this opportunity to solemnly reiterate that my relationship with Miss Deng is just a song for her, at most it can only be said that I am an acquaintance, and it is not as complicated as everyone says." Chen Shaoyi said calmly.

This is the case, and he didn't lie, Chen Shaoyi is naturally not weak-hearted.

Chen Shaoyi replied like this, and the reporters below were naturally dissatisfied, such cold words have no news, how can everyone live without news?

So the reporters continued to ask.

Chen Shaoyi said slyly this time: "It's okay for everyone to do this, they all stare at me, and they all make our great beauty Miss Mi Xue unhappy, everyone is still a gentleman in front of our beautiful lover Miss Mi Xue, what other questions can be asked Miss Mi Xue, I think Miss Mi Xue will definitely bring you satisfactory news." ”;
