Chapter 557: Preparing for the Filming of "Initial D"

"Hehe, Brother Zhang, this is my personal personal work. This movie, which I am going to invest wholly in, is tailor-made for an artist under my company, and it is a story about racing, which is made for young people, and it can be regarded as overkill for you to shoot. Liu Yufan said with a smile as he handed the notebook in his hand to Lao Mouzi.

"Brother, look at what you said, why are we two talking about this? Your business is my business, don't be polite to me. Lao Mouzi said as he flipped through the notebook.

In the entire mainland, there are not many people who can make him talk like this, especially in the entertainment industry, there are even fewer people. Since the filming of "Pirates of the Caribbean", Lao Mouzi's worth has been increasing day by day, and now he has a faint meaning of becoming a world-class director. No matter where you go, it's a great cow. There are not many people who can make him speak so kindly, Liu Yufan will do the math.

The reason why he was able to make such a posture was naturally not because of anything else, but because of Liu Yufan's level of screenwriting that people had to convince. Now the book in his hand, for any director in China, is a stepping stone to fame, his book is now hard to find. It is difficult for any director to stand up to him in front of him. Lao Mouzi is no exception.

"Hehe, you can't say that, I wrote you a book before, it was cooperation, but this time I asked you to do private work for me, friends are friends, this account still has to be settled." Liu Yufan said with a smile. In fact, he wants to make this film and praise the artists under his company, and he is also cautious. Liu Yufan knows that if this movie is made, it will not only be as simple as making Dong Chou popular, this film will make money. And it's going to make a lot of money. Don't look at this film, it's not a big production like "Pirates of the Caribbean". However, in China, the ratings of this kind of idol drama are definitely no less than blockbusters. And after the actor became famous. There will also be many additional benefits, such as the increase in the popularity of the actor and the company, the increase in the value of the performance, etc., and the benefits are simply indescribable. All these things, Liu Yufan has to hold firmly in his hands. Before, he chose to cooperate with others, it was because he was still in the development stage and his strength was too weak, but now that he has a certain strength, he naturally does not need to do it again.

Pulling Zhang Dao to work as a private worker, this is said in the whole of China, and few people dare to say it, but fortunately, Liu Yufan is one of the few people who are exceptional.

Lao Mouzi entered the work. Then it was really very selfless, and after a few polite words with Liu Yufan, he began to turn up the book. He watched intently. From time to time, there are some things that I don't understand. will stop and ask Liu Yufan. Those few questions, Liu Yufan must be. I know that people are asking questions all about the point, all because they are not careful, and they miss the details. After the addition of Lao Mouzi, the skeleton of this script has been very perfect.

It took more than an hour for Lao Mouzi to finish reading this script, and at the same time, he also stopped writing and drawing on it, looked at Liu Yufan and said with a smile: "Hehe, Yufan, this is just a small book, it doesn't take much effort, don't worry, leave this job to me, calculate your cost price, I estimate that it will be filmed for 20 million." ”

"So little?" Listening to Lao Mouzi's words, Liu Yufan asked with some surprise. After the film "Pirates of the Caribbean", Liu Yufan realized the horror of the movie investment, and invested hundreds of millions of dollars at every turn, which made him really dumbfounded. It is precisely because he is used to seeing big ones that he now hears that it only costs 20 million to make a film, and he subconsciously feels that the cost is too low.

"Hehe, yes, this film doesn't need too many props, basically you can start filming if you find a good place, and most of the actors are actors from your company, and they have saved a lot of money in terms of salary, so it's really not much. As for my director's fee, forget it, such a small film will be filmed in two months at most, so I'll do me a favor. Lao Mouzi said boldly.

"How's that going to work! You are now an international director, hundreds of thousands of dollars a minute, if I use your labor for free, fans across the country will not scold me to death. No, no, this is absolutely not going to work. When Liu Yufan heard this, he refused again and again.

"What are you talking about, Xiaofan, are you still thinking of me as your eldest brother? You gave me such a good book to shoot, why did I help you with such a little favor? If you refuse again, it's boring.,I'm not going to take this book.,Whoever you like to shoot.。 Lao Mouzi said obviously a little unhappy.

"Brother Zhang, I didn't mean that, hey, it's just that you do this, I'm really embarrassed, this can't work, as the saying goes, relatives and friends have to settle accounts." Liu Yufan didn't want to accept the favor of Lao Mouzi, so he still insisted.

"Come on, you can tell me that I'm really gone." Lao Mouzi listened to Liu Yufan's words, stood up unhappily, and was about to leave.

"Come on, even if I'm afraid of you, then I'm really welcome." When Liu Yufan saw that he was really coming, he had to stand up and persuade him.

"I didn't let you be polite, you guy." Lao Mouzi sat down again, said Liu Yufan with a smile, then took the book in his hand, patted it and said: "Although it is a small-cost work, but the story is really good, youth, blood, especially related to racing, or the counterattack of small people, hehe, I really don't know how your brain grows, I'm so good at making up stories, it's a pity that a guy like you doesn't write a novel." Lao Mouzi quipped.

The speaker is unintentional, the listener is intentional, hearing Lao Mouzi talk about writing novels, Liu Yufan's heart moved, and he seemed to think of something. A word suddenly appeared in his heart.

"Hehe, I'm thinking too much, I don't have the energy to take care of those things now, and now the Internet is not too popular, and when I'm busy with this period, those things will slowly spread out." Liu Yufan said with a smile.

"Okay, that's all over, Brother Zhang, tell me about your movie, how was "Pirates of the Caribbean 2" filmed?" Liu Yufan asked with interest. This film is also his "hard work", and after the official screening, Liu Yufan will inevitably have another extra big income, and he naturally cares about it.

"Hehe, I knew you would ask. Even if you don't ask, I'm going to tell you about it, and next Saturday, at the premiere, you'll have to attend. Lao Mouzi smiled and patted Liu Yufan's shoulder and said.

"Yo, it's all premiered? So fast. Liu Yufan said with some surprise.

"You guy, it seems that you really don't care about this, now my posters are all over the place outside, and advertisements are broadcast on TV and radio every day, don't you know?" Lao Mouzi quipped.

"Hehe, you don't know, I've been so busy with a lot of things in the company recently, how can I have the energy to care about those things?" Liu Yufan patted his head and said.

"By the way, I heard that the recent particularly popular program, "Avenue of Stars", was the planning you provided to CCTV?" Lao Mouzi asked with great interest.

"Hehe, brother, I really can't hide anything from you, I'm so busy making movies, and I still have the time to pay attention to this matter. That's right, that show was the idea I provided to CCTV, but now people kick me away. Liu Yufan said with a wry smile.

"Huh? What's going on? Lao Mouzi asked with some surprise.

has a close relationship with Lao Mouzi, and Liu Yufan doesn't have to worry about him talking to people who are not good for him, so he told him all these things right away.

"It's just too much of a bully! He has a big business in the company, and he will actually bully newcomers? It's so shameful. After listening to Liu Yufan's words, Lao Mouzi said angrily.

"Not only that, Brother Zhang, people are now opening their mouths to buy my company, hehe, that Chen Jingwen and Mr. Chen, but he is very arrogant." Liu Yufan shook his head and said.

"Don't be afraid of him! Brother, what to do, what to do! I've got you covered! Rest assured, although Bai Dai is a big company, it is not so easy to squeeze you out, after all, in Akari, he also has to play cards according to the rules. You don't have to worry about anything now, just focus on doing your company well. As long as your company grows bigger, those people won't dare to touch you easily. For you at this point, I am relieved! Lao Mouzi said.

"Hehe, Brother Zhang, I also know this truth, the question is whether people are willing to give me breathing space, not to mention anything else, during this period of time, the release of several records of Legend Entertainment has encountered the resistance of Baidai Company, not only some of the video stores controlled by them have been taken off the shelves, but they will even arrange some heavyweight albums to seize the market, people have a big business, and they can afford to play." Liu Yufan sighed. After Chen Jingwen's acquisition failed, during this period of time, there was no less trouble with Legendary Entertainment, and the means were one after another, endlessly, Liu Yufan was very troubled by him, if it weren't for the fact that the artists under his hands were all of very good quality, and he had a large number of loyal music fans, I am afraid he really couldn't help tossing like this.

"There are big benefits, small advantages also have small advantages, don't worry, I will help you shoot this film as soon as possible, let's build momentum and strive to get the newcomer in your company as soon as possible." But my brother has a lot to say here, don't make a wedding dress for someone else, the contract has to be signed, don't be ruthless! Lao Mouzi reminded.

"Hehe, Brother Zhang, don't worry, I know it in my heart." Liu Yufan nodded. He has invested a lot of money in those artists, and he naturally has to guard against this. The contract signed by those people and the company, if not a deed of sale, is almost the same. Although the remuneration is very generous, if you want to change jobs, the cost is also greater, especially those stars with great potential, it is basically impossible to be poached, and that kind of price is unbearable, including Bai Dai!

"That's fine. Let's do it, next Saturday when the premiere is over, let's start the film! Lao Mouzi said dryly, then picked up the script, turned around and left, what a crisp!
