194: Zeng Zhiwei
"Ah Wei!" Zeng Zhiwei wore this patterned vest, held a pair of oily chopsticks in his hand, sat at the table sweating profusely, and beckoned to Liang Chaowei and Wang Luo.
"Wow, isn't it? It's so hot, you still eat hot pot? Aren't you afraid that the fire will burn you? Liang Chaowei walked over with a smile and joked.
"That's what it's called hot!" Zeng Zhiwei didn't care either, obviously he had long been accustomed to these bad friends.
After taking a seat, Zeng Zhiwei greeted Wang Luo very warmly, but Liang Chaowei was thrown aside and a little cold.
After three rounds of drinking, Zeng Zhiwei has no big-name posture at all, just like an ordinary person.
This made Wang Luo a little envious of him, at least he could eat so freely. It's not like being in the mainland, you have to be careful in everything you do.
"I heard Ah Wei say that you want to ask me to make a movie?" Zeng Zhiwei put down his chopsticks, picked up his wine glass and asked.
"I just don't know if Viagra is interested?" Wang Luo raised his wine glass and said.
"Poof~~" Liang Chaowei suddenly laughed wildly on the side, and Zeng Zhiwei's face was not very good-looking.
Wang Luo suddenly realized his gaffe, Zeng Zhiwei is also a first-class actor in Xiangjiang, although there is nothing wrong with calling him Viagra, but who made this name have other meanings?
"I'm sorry, I'll punish myself with three glasses!" After realizing the gaffe, Wang Luo hurriedly apologized.
After three glasses of wine in a row, Zeng Zhiwei's face looked a little better. Although it was an unintentional move, Zeng Zhiwei would not dwell on this issue anymore.
But everyone in the circle knows that Zeng Zhiwei hates this title. Even if someone called him short, he wouldn't be so angry.
"The dwarf hates it when people call him Viagra. However, the age of the short man is also your uncle's, so just call him Uncle Wei in private. Liang Chaowei explained on the side.
"Hi. It's okay, those who don't know are not guilty! Come! Come! Come! Drink! Zeng Zhiwei continued to pick up the wine glass sloppily.
The depressed Wang Luo had no choice but to pick up the wine glass again and drink it all, there was no way, who let himself have no mouth? As soon as he exited, he committed Zeng Zhiwei's taboo.
Besides, let alone Zeng Zhiwei, if Wang Luo had a Wei in his name, he would hate this title very much.
"Where's the script?" Zeng Zhiwei didn't take what happened just now to heart, after drinking. They talked about work at the wine table.
Wang Luo honestly handed a script to Zeng Zhiwei, to be honest, Wang Luo originally felt that there was still some hope for Zeng Zhiwei to win five million.
But with that moment. I'm afraid it's going to get a lot harder.
But it's hard to say, Liang Chaowei told himself that Zeng Zhiwei doesn't look much at the salary when filming.
He is a person who attaches more importance to righteousness, if a good friend asks him to film. If funds are really tight. He doesn't even want to be paid.
Or shoot it first, and wait for the movie to be released, and then it doesn't matter if you get paid after you get the share.
And Zeng Zhiwei has always been very generous in the Xiangjiang entertainment industry, which is mainly reflected in two points.
The first point is to make a generous move, go out with friends, and basically every time he rushes to pay. Although there is not much money, everyone is also out.
The second point is that people are more righteous, as long as they are his friends. Then it's all well said. Whatever it is, as long as he can help. If you go to him, he will never refuse.
In fact, Zeng Zhiwei in reality is actually a complete peacemaker.
Therefore, Zeng Zhiwei's connections in Xiangjiang are still very extensive. In addition, he is the vice president of the Xiangjiang Actors Association, has a good temper, and can afford to make jokes, and almost all artists in Xiangjiang respect him very much.
It was precisely this sentence that could afford to joke that pitted Wang Luo, making him shout Zeng Zhiwei's most hated title without thinking.
Now Wang Luo's intestines are green with regret, recalling the scene of meeting Liang Chaowei.
Liang Chaowei always calls him a short man when he mentions Zeng Zhiwei, instead of viagra or directly mentioning his name.
In fact, now that I'm thinking about it, if I had called him a dwarf just now, I don't think this would have happened now.
'Smack~~~'
Twenty minutes later, Zeng Zhiwei closed the script.
glanced at Wang Luo, shook his head again, and said: "This drama is very good, the point of view is very new, there is no such type of film on the market now." ”
"Most of them are police and gangster movies that look exciting, but they are actually very boring."
"This script gave me a whole new perspective, and it turned out that the movie could still be made like this."
"But ......" Speaking of this, Zeng Zhiwei suddenly changed his tone.
"It's easy for this drama to become popular, whether it's the plot or the actors, it can easily make this drama popular. But if you want to become a classic, there is still a certain degree of difficulty. ”
In the end, Zeng Zhiwei looked at Wang Luo pointedly and said, "This is indeed your style, but I want to know, what are you hiding behind?" ”
Wang Luo broke out in a cold sweat, and he is not a big brother-level figure in the entertainment industry.
Just by reading the script once, you can guess a rough idea. even saw through Wang Luo's intentions, but in doing so, Wang Luo also took a big risk.
There are three parts of "Infernal Affairs".
The first part is an eternal classic, and the second part is a prequel that was filmed in a hurry after the first part became popular. And the third part is a description of the doubts in the first part.
In that world, every time I watch this movie in this order, Wang Luo always feels weird.
And there are many people who have the same feeling as Wang Luo, and when these people watched it, they all reversed the order and looked at it in the order of 213.
However, in the eyes of most people, among the three parts of Infernal Affairs, the first part is a classic, and the second part is purely for making money. And the third part is very profound, and it takes several times to understand the meaning.
Of course, that's just some people's words.
Everyone will have a different feeling when watching these three movies.
Some people think that the first part is a classic, some people think that the second part is a classic, and similarly some people think that the third part is a classic.
It's hard to reconcile, except for the fact that the first part is a little less controversial. The other two are slightly controversial.
However, this is not what Wang Luo cares about, however, Wang Luo thinks. Reversing the order is good for the whole show.
Because careful people will find that in fact, the main characters in the three movies have been influenced by Ah Xiao.
Since it is a series of movies, then a classic will be released first, and then a work that is not as good as the first one will appear. It's not a classic movie that comes out first, and then comes out a classic. Which is more meaningful?
Of course, without the accumulation of the first part, it is difficult for the second part to have too many viewers to watch.
If there are too many people who don't like the first part. Then this part of the audience will obviously give up.
This is different from a TV series, it doesn't matter if this episode is not good-looking, the next episode is good-looking and can still pull the audience back.
Film is an industry that cannot be mistaken.
But Wang Luo is very confident in these three movies. I take the classic of the world and make it. If you don't have this confidence, what kind of life are you going to have?
However, in addition to the success of that world, there is another reason that gives Wang Luo a lot of confidence.
That's the industry 'environment' of this world, and although it's hard to make it a classic with the second part first, it's okay to attract attention with the plot. Therefore, by the time the second (1) part is released, it may not lose too many viewers.
So. Wang Luo didn't intend to hide anything, and responded directly with a smile: "Uncle Wei is Uncle Wei." The problem was immediately apparent. ”
Immediately afterwards, Wang Luo took out the second (1) script and handed it to Zeng Zhiwei, before that, he had never taken out this script.
"This is the script for the second (1) part, and in fact, this one is the real classic in my heart. There is a third part later, and I didn't bring the script, but some of the scenes appeared in the first two parts. Wang Luo said.
Half an hour later, Zeng Zhiwei closed the script.
This time, Zeng Zhiwei looked at Wang Luo with more appreciation than before.
"The level of these two parts is not at the same level at all." Zeng Zhiwei confessed, immediately stared at Wang Luo, and asked, "Why don't you make just one?" Why add some regrets to the classics? ”
"Isn't it all about money? It's a fool not to make money, and although the second part is a classic, what I want is a complete story, and I don't want to leave the audience with too many regrets. Wang Luo said the most vulgar reason, but this reason is exactly what no one can refute.
"I took this film, are there any other actors I like? I'll get in touch with you. Zeng Zhiwei smiled and gave his answer directly.
Zeng Zhiwei didn't say much, and the reasons given by Wang Luo were enough.
The ultimate purpose of making movies is to make money, and being able to participate in a classic work is also what the actors are looking forward to.
After reading the script of the second part, Zeng Zhiwei already has confidence. Wang Luo did not disappoint him, as for money, it was not important to him.
There is no difference between five million and ten million, Zeng Zhiwei is not short of money, he likes Wang Luo.
It's a bit like when he was young, his thoughts are more 'imaginative', courageous, and daring.
Therefore, Zeng Zhiwei not only agreed, but he also went to help Wang Luo invite other actors.
As for the salary, Liang Chaowei has already told him about Wang Luo's situation, and Zeng Zhiwei will naturally help compress the salaries of those actors.
The big actors are all his friends, and some small actors can cooperate with these big names, even if they don't pay them, they run fast one by one, so they don't have to worry about money at all.
"This is the list I chose, but I only have a budget of eight million, Uncle Wei, I'm sorry for you." Wang Luo took out a list with the names of several other protagonists and supporting characters.
Eight million, it is definitely impossible to let Wang Luo invite, but Zeng Zhiwei may not be able to go.
In fact, there is only one real leading actor in the list, Huang Qiu who plays Huang Zhicheng, and the others are all supporting roles, but they are also worth about one million.
If you follow the normal procedure, if you want to pull all these people over, you have to have at least about fifteen million.
"Okay, no problem." Zeng Zhiwei glanced at the list, nodded directly and agreed, he was absolutely sure to pull these people over. (To be continued......)
