In fact, Chu Qing can completely get rid of Dinglongda's gang of goods and open a book by himself. But this is not in line with the rules of the rivers and lakes, your idea is plagiarized from someone else, and once it is publicized, your reputation will stink.

So he would rather put some effort into erecting "Painted Skin" in a dignified manner.

There are many factors that make a blockbuster, such as big directors, big stars, big investment, big scenes, big themes, and so on. It's easy to put these together, but it's still quite difficult to combine them into a complete mainstream commercial movie, at a domestic level.

Chu Qing set the tone at the beginning, and on the basis of reasonable configuration, he went to engage in those bells and whistles.

"Painted Skin" is an oriental monster film, who is the best at making monster films? He didn't think about it at first, but when he saw Xu Lao Wei himself, he slapped his thigh, tsk!

The ancient and treacherous of "A Chinese Ghost Story", the beauty of "Green Snake", and the majestic atmosphere of "The Legend of Shu Mountain", whether it is successful or not will not be discussed for the time being, and no one can deny the beauty contained in it.

"Painted Skin" must be beautiful, demonic, and amorous, this is justice!

Xu Ke is 57 years old this year and is close to his sixtieth birthday. The successive defeats of "The Legend of Shu Mountain" and "Seven Swords" made him at a low point, many people said that he was old and had no sharpness, but Chu Qing didn't believe it.

No matter how old Xu Ke is, he also hides that chivalrous tenderness, even if he doesn't have chivalrous tenderness, he has imagination beyond his brain, even if he doesn't have imagination, those women in ancient costumes who throw their sleeves the best and the aesthetics that conform to normal people are beyond the reach of others.

So, the day before the festival closed, the two met for the second time.

"Qingzai, I haven't congratulated you on the award."

"Hey, you're welcome, come, sit down."

Chu Qing got up and invited a seat and poured another cup of tea. Ask, "What have you been up to lately?" ”

"I am preparing two new films, "Looking for People in the Deep Sea" and "Women Are Not Bad".

"Two? Then you are tired enough, is the boot time set? ”

"Not yet, the efficiency of the filmmaker is very slow, I guess it will be next year."

Xu Ke took out a cigar and snapped it, leaning towards it, with the style of a gangster. His voice is low, slightly hoarse, and he speaks like a mountain owl staring at you. Those who are not familiar with it will definitely be scared.

They had met before, but their friendship was not deep, and after a few greetings, Chu Qing went straight to the point: "We recently came across an idea, which is derived from "Painted Skin", and I want you to direct it. ”

Saying that, he told Ye Weixin, "Painted Skin" and Ding Longda about it, and informed him of his plans.

“……”

After Xu Ke listened, he was silent for a while. Suddenly, he asked, "Qingzai, why are you looking for me?" ”

"I think you are the most suitable director, I like "A Chinese Ghost Story", I like "Green Snake". Or rather, I hope it can be better than "A Chinese Ghost Story" and "Green Snake". He said from the bottom of his heart.

"Heh......"

Old Strange Xu rustled his throat, sounding very weird, and paused for a few seconds. And he said, "What about the new script?" ”

"Let's find someone to save together."

"Money?"

"Estimate it when it's all settled."

“……”

Xu Ke took a slow puff on his cigar and said, "I need to think about it for a few days, but I will mention two conditions first." ”

"You say."

"The casting is up to me. Of course you can suggest, but in the event of a conflict, I hope you respect my opinion. ”

“OK。”

"I'm in charge of the filming process, and I don't like being finger-pointed."

"No problem."

Chu Qing responded, and said: "We will not interfere with the details, but we have the right to supervise and revise the script, budget, shooting progress, and commercial effects." ”

"This is natural." Old Monster Xu nodded.

……

On May 27, the 60th Cannes Film Festival closed.

At the opening ceremony, President Jacob once said: "60 is too young a number for a film festival. Not enough for Hitchcock to put pigeons on the steps of the Palais des Cinémathèques in Cannes, nor enough for Chaplin to swing a cane. ”

This makes Cannes' attitude humble and sincere, and it is. When the major awards were announced, people found that those who showed off their skills, played experiments, engaged in tricks, and petty bourgeoisie were all out

The awards ceremony became a grand event for Eurasian filmmakers, and veteran drivers such as the Coen brothers, David Fincher, and Quentin Darantino all hit the streets.

The Palme d'Or went to the Romanian film "Three Weeks and Two Days in April", the jury prize went to the Japanese film "Funeral Forest", and the best director award went to France's "The Diving Bell and the Butterfly".

This is the second Asian actress after Zhang Manyu, and the fifth Asian actor to win the performance crown after Ge You, Liang Chaowei, Chu Qing and others.

For a while, the Japanese and Korean film circles cheered, and the Chinese film industry struggled again and again. Only "Blind Well" saved some face and won the Best Picture Award in the Attention Unit.

"Night Train" and "Midnight Kiss" found nothing, Diao Yinan felt a little lost, but Alex was very calm, he felt that this was the normal development.

And the next plan, he plans to go to the Florida Film Festival and the Woodstock Film Festival, which should be successful.

……

Beijing, Dinglongda.

The boss of this company is called Wang Ruojun, who used to be a civil servant, and later went overseas to start a business, and in recent years, he has returned to China to start a film and television company.

It is said that there are specific social trends in each stage of China, such as the craze for going abroad, going to the sea, qigong, and publishing books in the eighties and nineties.

After 2005, investing in film and television dramas has also become a fashion. A large amount of foreign capital poured in, the production industry exploded, and the market boomed, so that the value of celebrities was infinitely high.

Wang Ruojun is one of them, he doesn't know any process and skills, he only knows that this thing can make money. I voted for a few TV series before, but the results were mediocre, and it was easy to catch "Painted Skin" and was blocked in every way, so I was naturally unhappy.

"Yesterday there was another round of talks, but the other side still refused to budge, and there was still no progress."

In the office, Zhao Mo was cautiously reporting the situation to his boss. Outsiders don't know, but he knows that this person is not so kind in front of the camera.

Sure enough, Wang Ruojun began to scold as soon as he heard it: "It's been almost two months and the project hasn't started yet, so why are you embarrassed to tell me that there is no progress!" Do you want to put it off until next year, until the year after, until the company ......closes down?"

"Knock knock!"

At this moment, the secretary pushed the door in and said softly: "Wang Dong, there are guests who want to see Manager Zhao." ”

"Where did it come from?" Wang Ruojun didn't have a good airway.

"It's the two of us."

“……”

Wang Ruojun was stunned for a second, then waved his hand, Zhao Mo didn't dare to delay, and hurriedly ran to the reception room. A delicate-looking young man was waiting there, got up and said with a smile: "Hello Brother Zhao, my name is Huang Qixuan." ”

"Hello, hello!"

Zhao Mo took the business card, and when he saw the origin of the business development department, he couldn't help but say: "Dare to ask Yang Fan if you are ......?"

"Oh, Brother Yang is my direct boss."

That is the confidant, he knew it in his heart, and asked, "What is the matter with my brother coming over today?" ”

"That's right."

Huang Qixuan took out a document, pushed it over and said, "Here are the detailed terms, but let's talk a few words first, if you think it's acceptable, you might as well read it carefully." ”

After the words fell, he paused and said: "Our company wants to cooperate with you to jointly invest in the movie "Painted Skin", but our opinion is that the existing script and lineup are not conducive to commercial promotion, and it is better to re-choose. Of course, when the final budget comes out, we will support 60% of the funds and take care of the issuance. ”

"You're saying that no matter what the budget is, you're going to take sixty percent?" Zhao Mo hurriedly confirmed.

"Yes, it's sixty percent."

"Well, then I can ask, who are you looking for......"

Zhao Mo was a little aggrieved, I know that it is a stalemate now, and I need you to break it. But why are you pretending to be so forced, you will nail the conditions as soon as you come up.

And Huang Qixuan knew what he was going to ask, and interrupted: "At present, there is only one person I can reveal, Xu Ke." ”

Yo!

As soon as Zhao Mo heard this, two words popped out in his heart: It's okay!

Ye Weixin has some weight, but he is too far behind Xu Laowei, and he is still from Hong Kong, so the Hong Kong side naturally supports it. But he thought about it for a while, and then asked, "What about Donnie Yen, what are you going to arrange?" ”

"This has to wait for the script to come out, depending on what Director Xu Ke means, after all, it is the idea he came up with." Huang Qixuan said it very tactfully, but Zhao Mo understood: It's not good to kick Donnie Yen out, but the actor must be out of play.
