Chapter Twenty-Nine: A Crazy Plan
a white shirt, a pair of gray jeans, and a pair of blue and white sneakers; The shirt was a little wrinkled, the jeans were a little worn, and the sneakers smelled of dust.
This is Guo Jingze, with an ordinary height, a slightly chubby face and figure, and when he laughs, he has a signature squinting eye, giving people a shrewd but kind impression.
"Hello, Director Guo!" Lee Chung-hee specially went downstairs to the office to greet him solemnly and greet him first.
Guo Jingze looked at him seriously, with a smile on the corner of his mouth, then stretched out his hand to shake him, and said: "Actually, I heard your name at the beginning of the year, and when I got the script, I inquired about it again!" ”
Then he asked, "I heard that you went back to finish your studies?" ”
Li Zhengxi smiled and nodded, "Mother hopes that I won't waste my studies because of this, it's okay, a qiēshun lì!" ”
Guo Jingze was finally surprised, "You graduated." After Li Zhengxi nodded, he praised: "Also, a little genius like you, this is just a kick in the door!" ”
After a pause, he turned back to the topic very straightforwardly, "Well, okay, let's stop gossiping for now, let's talk about this movie first!" ”
Lee Chung-hee nodded, invited him upstairs first, and sat down in the reception room before opening the topic, "Well, how to say, I was obsessed with Hong Kong's gangster movies a while ago, and then I also watched some American genre films, but I think it's just street fights and killings, and that kind of blood is a bit inferior and lacks connotation."
Later, I remembered "Once Upon a Time in America" that I had seen before, and then I was touched by it, and I had this script ....... ”
"Well," after Lee Chung-hee's simple statement, Guo Jingze nodded, "This is similar to my opinion," and glanced at Lee Chung-hee with a smile, and continued: "Moreover, this script reminds me of the absurdity of my youth, as well as the story of our Busan Seven Star Gang, which makes me more enthusiastic ......!" ”
Lee Chung-hee smiled and quipped: "So, the director was also very enthusiastic when he was young!" ”
Guo Jingze smiled, "At that time, the society was in turmoil, except for those who were particularly timid and peaceful, which boy didn't look forward to whistling around like a bastard on the street, at least on the surface, it looked extremely majestic." ”
Shaking his head again, he said again: "Fortunately, I have seen it clearly a long time ago, and then run away quickly!" In the midst of the laughter, he said solemnly, "Well, although it will be presumptuous, because of what I just said, I want to focus on Busan, so I also think that if I shoot it, I will use the Busan dialect to ...... the whole film." ”
There are many Korean dialects as well as China, among which Gyeonggi Province, that is, near Seoul, is the standard Korean, and if you use the dialect, it will naturally cause some viewers to watch the movie.
However, Lee Chung-hee has known this for a long time, and he also knows that it will arouse the nostalgia and resonance of more audiences, so under the gaze of Guo Jingze, he nodded categorically and said: "My grandmother is from Busan, she said that she has lived in Seoul for more than 40 years, but she still can't change her accent, and she is unwilling to change her ......!" ”
This is a fact, Lee Chung-hee continued in Guo Jingze's surprise and joy: "Of course, I also believe that the director's decision and ability, and appreciate your realistic style more will make this film more brilliant!" ”
Guo Jingze is the director, he is the screenwriter, and this is still a film project, if it is usual, Guo Jingze is naturally in charge of himself, but the problem now is that Guo Jingze wants to shoot, and he has no money, and the rights and interests of the script are not in his hands, so they must reach a consensus before they can continue to talk about follow-up matters.
In front of them, the two of them seemed to be quite a deed, so Guo Jingze also took the opportunity to say: "So, I think it's time for us to talk about investment now, perhaps, that's why you came to me!" ”
"That's right!" Lee Chung-hee nodded, but then said something that made Guo Jingze a little stunned, "I'll solve the investment matter, and you are responsible for the preliminary preparation of the movie from now on......!" ”
"You mean, you're an investor?" You can't blame Guo Jingze for being surprised, although Lee Chung-hee is a genius, a genius can't make money, and Lee Chung-hee in front of him doesn't look very rich.
However, no matter how shocked and surprised he was, he still saw Lee Chung-hee nodding, "That's right, what I want to ask now is, how much investment do you think this movie needs?" ”
Guo Jingze frowned and replied first, "I've thought about this, if you just talk about the cost of making a system, it's almost four billion!" Then, he couldn't help but ask the crucial question, "Uh, sorry, I didn't mean anything else, but you said investment, but what about money?" ”
Li Zhengxi suddenly laughed at this time, and pointed to his head, and then when Guo Jingze was a little inexplicable, he continued: "You probably also know that the filming of "Murderous Curse" has been completed, and the post-production is basically over, and the movie has been confirmed to be released in July, so I can get the money in August, and at the same time, I can also get the remuneration for a TV series in November, and the two combined, I can probably get almost one billion ......." ”
Hearing this, Guo Jingze almost didn't say that he was crazy, he was just a screenwriter, and he actually said that two films could get so much money, but Lee Chung-hee ignored him for the time being, but continued: "With this billion, plus the accumulated reputation of the two scripts, I think, I can probably borrow about 2 billion from the bank, then, we have 3 billion, and with 3 billion, do you think it will be difficult to get another billion with me and your prestige!" ”
Speaking of this, he smiled very confidently and raised the index finger of his right hand, "So, the most important thing for us now is to do a good job of the preliminary preparations first, and the preliminary preparations don't cost much money, Director Guo, right?" ”
Guo Jingze is not a child, he will be bewitched by two sentences, and even, if he sees Lee Chung-hee for the first time, this guy says this, he will leave directly, but at this time, he is angry and funny and continued: "Although I don't understand much, I probably understand that you are using your economic mind to carry out a game of capital operation, but this is a movie ......." ”
At this time, Lee Chung-hee interrupted him, and his face was solemn, "No, Director Guo, I am very serious, and I love movies......!" ”
After a slight pause, he said: "You also said just now, this is the method of capital operation, which proves that it is feasible, and we have no money now, so why don't we try it!" ”
Guo Jingze smiled at this time, then picked up the cold coffee on the table and took a sip, then looked at him and asked the most critical question, "So, what's the matter with the billion you are talking about?" ”
Hearing him ask, Lee Chung-hee knew that he had already been moved, so his expression became more confident, "It's very simple, because I signed a contract with them with the nature of a VAM agreement......." ”
Not only did he just say it, but he also showed Guo Jingze the contract signed with TuBe Entertainment, and then, in his stunnedness, he smiled: "I know this still looks a little unreliable, because no one knows what the future holds, but we only need to wait less than two months!" ”
"Two months, before the box office of "Curse" comes out, we can make preliminary preparations, form a crew, find actors, and then watch the scene, select the scene, you can also think about how to shoot it when the time comes, and get the script out of the ......."
At this time, if you say this again, the intensity is completely different, you can know by looking at Guo Jingze solemnly listening to him, "Then, as soon as the box office comes out, if it is good, we will start immediately, although the money is not enough, but the crew does not spend money all at once, and if it is not good, then, I will bear the consequences, including your director's salary......." ”
Guo Jingze smiled again, but with more emotion in his smile, he shook his head, "Is this your genius plan, but I look crazy!" ”
Lee Chung-hee also smiled, and smiled brightly, "It's a little, but such a more adventurous plan will make my blood boil, maybe this is the young man's style of doing things!" ”
As he spoke, he glanced at Guo Jingze and said with a smile: "Of course, you don't look old!" ”
Guo Jingze laughed straight, he is Chinese New Year's Eve this year, he is very young in the director's business, but compared with Li Zhengxi, he is almost twice as old.
Moreover, he was also past the age of light and hot-blooded, so he looked at Li Zhengxi sternly, "To be honest, I am also a little moved, but do you understand the consequences of this qiē failure?" ”
"Of course," Lee Chung-hee also replied solemnly: "Not to mention the failure of the movie, you have to pay liquidated damages to the crew, especially the actors, which is not counted, once there is such an example, the reputation will be ruined, and it will be difficult to walk ...... road in the future." ”
Guo Jingze nodded, and then frowned again, he originally wanted to say that he would simply wait for another two months to see the situation, but he was a little hesitant, because after two months, even if "Fierce Curse" succeeded, he would not get all the money immediately, so why not start now? But this one is really crazy!
"Well, I'll think about it first!" Guo Jingze couldn't make up his mind for a while, so in the end, he could only say to Li Zhengxi: "Three days, I'll give you news in three days!" ”
He didn't directly refuse, this is good news, Lee Chung-hee smiled and nodded. ps: Fattening gentlemen, please collect it!
