As soon as Qiang Tai's words came out, Yang Yichen immediately understood, smiled, and didn't speak.

Li Lianjie is the same, he really didn't think about this story, and he didn't realize that this was a scene that brought him back to the status of a first-line movie star in the world.

Brother Qiang said: "How much investment is needed?" ”

Yang Yichen compared a finger, this time, it can scare the three people present, this finger can never be 10 million, it is not worthy of being called a big system, then it can only be......

One hundred million!

Even Li Lianjie, who is accustomed to hearing all kinds of big productions in Hollywood, was stunned by Yang Yichen's handwriting, the total box office of "Infernal Affairs" has not yet reached 100 million, which has been called a rescue work by the entire Xiangjiang, and now the investment in a drama will be 100 million, which means that this film has no investment at all, and the income of the surrounding and movie box office must exceed 200 million, so as not to lose, according to the original income idea of investing in a movie, the total income starts with 300 million, before you start with the ideal return on investment.

This, is Chen Tsai crazy?

In China, if you dare to play such a big one, you must at least have a super star lineup to support it, otherwise you will never dare to play like this, a film that will invest 100 million, the story is simple, and there are only two main characters, and the rest are all supporting roles that are watching the lights, and there is no need to set up a special scene, so where is this 100 million going to be smashed?

Brother Qiang's voice was still steady: "Can you tell me the significance of such a big investment?" ”

The entire living room, just now because of Qiangtai's words, the atmosphere was awkward, and in an instant, it changed to another mode. With an investment of 100 million, do you want to invite a super celebrity actor?

Yang Yichen: "I'll act." Don't get paid, the salary is included in the box office share. Two to thirty million publicity costs, the rest of all invested in the filming of the film, if the last scene is to follow my idea, maybe 100 million is not enough, it depends on the budget of the overall special effects. ”

What the?

100 million is not enough?

Brother Qiang is a little bit unwilling, young people nowadays, do they dare to play so much?

Li Lianjie is better, but he is also a little confused, if he is in Hollywood. This investment is nothing at all, it can only be a small and medium-sized system, but in China, it can definitely be regarded as a real large-scale system, 100 million is not enough, thinking of his special effects company YYC, which has recently become famous in Hollywood, he really has to spend money to burn special effects, and this 100 million is really not much.

Yang Yichen actually watched the original "Hurricane Rescue" actor When he went to Paris to meet his former partner for information, the other party persuaded him to leave and warned him not to turn Paris upside down. As a result, until the end of the film, it was a small-scale battle, and it was far from the so-called upheaval, and he thought of a later film full of gimmicks but failed to achieve the expected effect "Storm".

"I'm going to send the whole of Central into gunfire. I'm going to blow up the whole of Central. ”

Domineering.

As soon as Yang Yichen's words came out, the scene was truly silent, and Qiang Tai didn't say anything for a long time with his mouth open. Li Lianjie fell into deep thought, he was thinking about the shock after the special effects of such a picture came out. Brother Qiang is the same, he can grasp the pulse of the movie and continue to struggle in this industry. Hollywood has opened the era of blockbusters in recent years, and he also feels that sooner or later there will be this day in China, and sooner or later there will be the emergence of large-scale zuò, sci-fi stunt explosions, flying cars and even airplanes in the air, etc., which are pleasing to the eye and enter the cinema for the visual senses, it seems that it may become a trend in the future.

"In the era of blockbusters, pure commercial films, using vision to shock the audience, 3D effects will be on the stage of history, 1200 million 300 million or even more investment, will inevitably lead Chinese films, chasing Hollywood's big-scale productions, today we can make a movie with 100 million, in a few years, we may need 230 million or more, if this film really wants to take Central as the main battlefield of the final battle, without my special effects company, an additional 50 million may not be able to shoot it."

"Regardless of whether there is a scene in Central or not, I will smash it into an investment of 100 million, Mr. Xiang, spend 1 million to shoot a gunfight scene and spend 100,000 yuan to shoot a gunfight scene, the picture is not at the same level at all, small-cost movies pay attention to the story plot and cast, what the large-scale zuò movie wants is the strongest sensory visual stimulation for the audience, the story structure can be simple, even if it is simple and old-fashioned, it is nothing, a lonely hero, resourceful, vigorous, deep into the tiger's den, catch it all, simple will not make mistakes, There will be more time and more shots to present the audience with the most exciting visual enjoyment. ”

Yang Yichen said everything he could say and wanted to say, whether the other party wanted to cooperate or not, he didn't have too extravagant expectations, to put it mildly, if it wasn't for the expectations of the Academy Awards, this movie could be invested by himself, even if the company's evaluation behavior felt risky, I personally took money to smash it, and participated in the filming of the film as an investor.

Brother Qiang pondered for a while, at this time Mrs. Qiang would not speak, in terms of the company's strategic decision-making, one was that Brother Qiang was at the helm, took a few puffs of cigar, Brother Qiang spoke: "With all due respect, I don't think it's a wise move for you to play the father of a sixteen or seventeen-year-old girl, or, the story can be changed from a different angle, girlfriend or sister or something I think would be better, or ......"

At this point, Brother Qiang didn't say anything, but looked at Li Lianjie's body for a while, in the final analysis, under the premise that he wants to play with such a big investment, he will trust Li Lianjie even more, and the other party is also somewhat famous in the world, although it has gradually become bad in the past two years, but if this film is really effective, even if it does not win in the North American market, there will definitely be no problem in the Asian market, and even the European market can make some gains, at least in terms of cost recovery, Brother Qiang does not have much pressure.

Change the plot, Yang Yichen didn't think about it, it's not right to change the taste, there is less of the kind of emotional outpouring that this drama can be eaten by both men and women, there is a girl's desire for her father's protector, and a middle-aged woman's shoulder when she is helpless, this emotional grasp is more marketable than her boyfriend or brother at the level, and it is easier to move people's hearts, and it is also more logical, a retired soldier king who has married early and given birth early has not yet reached the age of forty, in fact, he can pass guò in his age, and men at this age are also more controllable. It is also more in line with his desire to control his daughter's idea, he is confident, just like the role of Liu Huaqiang, he has the experience of a man in his thirties and forties, he only needs to find the best makeup artist, set a makeup for himself, and then have his own temperament to increase the sense of vicissitudes, so as to play a role in giving the audience the sense that this man is not young, let Li Lianjie play, to be honest, it's not that he can't, but Yang Yichen doesn't feel that he is simply mixing in this industry to make money, I have to achieve myself first, and I must hold a good film in my own hands, I am not close to you and I am not a good friend, I will definitely play better than you, so why bother to be a good person.

In the end, there is no conclusion in this negotiation, Yang Yichen will not offend people indiscriminately if he is not a good person, he has to say in front of Brother Qiang, if I don't star in myself, I won't invest, wouldn't it be completely and completely offended Li Lianjie, some things are the most face-saving behavior, Brother Qiang understands, Li Lianjie also understands, everyone can be regarded as the guest and host to complete this dialogue, returned to Xiangjiang's home, took a bath, comfortably found a masseuse to relax his muscles, took Crow and Asheng Ajie, and went to the airport, Get ready to fly across the ocean to cheer on your friends at first sight.

On the way to the airport, Yang Yichen received a call from Brother Qiang: "What if I buy your script alone, or cooperate with your company alone?" ”

Yang Yichen smiled and did not answer directly: "I have ambitions to release this drama in North America." ”

In a word, Brother Qiang understands everything, if you invest or not, you don't say it, you don't offend people, you don't sell it to you, you don't say it if you don't sell it, I'm not afraid that you can use this idea to get it yourself, my ambition is not only in the market in China and even Asia, and only if I dominate the shooting of this movie, I will play the starring role, and I will be able to do my best to operate this film.

"That small production zuò, the script is ready, send me a copy."

The people next to the risk assessment did not agree with him to eat crabs, and Li Lianjie's presence also made him choose to refuse without thinking about it, and he didn't hear it, and if he didn't let him act, the estrangement would outweigh the losses.

"Okay, Mr. Xiang."

It's a pity, if there is no big guy in Xiangjiang to intervene, if you want to have a chase battle in Central, it is estimated that it will be very difficult, but this will not stop Yang Yichen's idea of filming this "Hurricane Rescue", simple and clear, the story is clear, and the emotional implantation is just right, and the rhythm of the whole film is also very in line with his aesthetic standards, just do it, there is no disgusting scene in the general sense of Chinese movies where I want to hesitate and be merciful as a righteous party, I am here to save my daughter, only ninety-six hours, in front of my daughter, Even if a country is destroyed by me, as long as she is safe, it is worth it, if such a film wants to pass the domestic review, the so-called organization cannot exist, and the background of the villain can only be mercenaries who do all kinds of evil.

Xiangjiang, let a "Dear" come to the Academy Awards.

In his mind, there are many excellent films, what Yang Yichen needs to consider is influence, which film is easy to adapt to the current market, which film is easy to get involved with awards, which film can open up a broader market, commercial films, simply making money is far less valuable than making a little money and getting a good reputation.

The "Hurricane Rescue" series of movies is the most suitable film that he found out, the story is simple and clear, the relationship between the characters is not complicated, suitable for the tastes of the East and the West, subverting the unreasonable drawbacks of some Chinese movies, in addition to the big scenes, the shooting of the whole drama is not difficult, it can also make money, the reputation is very good, and the actors' performance levels are also very rich, not just some action movies from beginning to end, how a failed father can become a boss who makes his daughter cheer, this film has too many things that meet Yang Yichen's appetite.

He believes that in the current era, this film will definitely have its own market...... (To be continued......)
