Chapter 51: There is no father and son in the mall
Chapter 51 There are no fathers and sons in the mall
Looking at the fat man shaking his head in front of him, Guan Moyu couldn't wait to kick the other party's face, but after thinking about it, he finally pressed this tempting idea in his heart.
"Brother Wang, you came just in time, I have already sorted out a part of the script, so I'll show it to you, and give me some advice by the way." Guan Moyu got up and took out the script of "God of Gamblers" and handed it to Wang Jing with a solemn face.
"God of Gamblers? Is it about gambling? After asking, without waiting for Guan Moyu to answer, Wang Jing said to herself excitedly: "I like this." ”
Looking at Wang Jing, who was certified to watch the script, Guan Moyu also showed a smile on his face, after agreeing with the other party, he began to choose that film as the cooperation film between the two, and finally after several hesitations, he still chose this "God of Gamblers".
In fact, the reason for the hesitation is that the film "God of Gamblers" is too classic, and he wants to shoot the classic by himself, but after thinking about it in the end, he still gave up, after all, there are many classic movies, and he doesn't have to hang himself from a tree.
What's more, "God of Gamblers" was originally written and directed by Wang Jing, let the other party shoot this classic, and then he learned, and then he will gain more than shooting other films.
Of course, taking out "God of Gamblers", Guan Moyu did not take this opportunity to show his strength to the other party, so as to win over the other party's ideas.
A few minutes later, Wang Jing raised her head in a daze and asked, "Guan Sheng, why is it gone?" ”
With a wry smile, Guan Moyu said helplessly: "So far, I have only written so much, and it will take half a month to complete it." ”
Hearing this, Wang Jing nodded clearly, didn't say anything, lowered his head and looked at the script again.
In fact, if it was placed in the past, a week would be enough for Guan Moyu to complete the script of a movie, after all, he can remember most of the plot, and all he needs to think about is the characters' lines and expressions.
It's just that, after all, he is now the president of a newspaper, not to mention the things of the newspaper, in addition, he has to learn to draw every day, and finally write "The Tomb of the Gods", and he has done his best to complete the script to this extent in a week.
"Mr. Guan, water."
Gong Qian walked in and put down the two glasses of water, and then turned around respectfully and left.
"Guan Sheng, it's really a pity that you don't even start with such a beautiful beauty." Wang Jing, who didn't know when to put down the script, shook her head and sighed while staring at Gong Qian's back.
Shaking his head, Guan Moyu didn't answer the other party's words, Gong Qian is indeed a big beauty, but, I don't know if it's because he has entered the entertainment industry. The targets of Yan are all on those famous actresses in later generations, but they have no interest in chasing Gong Qian.
"Guan Sheng, with these plots, we can shoot while you write the script, and the time is completely in time." Wang Jing took the script and said solemnly.
Frowning, Guan Moyu said: "Brother Wang, I plan to invest 10 million in this film, so everything must be formalized, at least, before starting filming, the script, crew, actors, etc. must be ready." ”
"Ten million!?"
Wang Jing looked at the man in front of her in surprise, she didn't expect the other party to have such great courage, you must know that in Hong Kong now, there are very few 10 million at the box office, let alone investing 10 million to make movies.
After the surprise, there is excitement, not to mention whether the film is successful or not, just using 10 million to make a movie makes him excited, and if the movie is successful, he will definitely become one of the few big directors in Hong Kong, of course, if he succeeds, it is naturally easy to say, if he fails, he doesn't want anyone to invest in him to make films in a few years.
After the excitement, Wang Jing calmed down, and the whole person became solemn, this time it can be said that it is related to his directorial career, and it is not his turn not to pay attention to it.
"Wang Sheng, if I guide you, I don't know what rights you can give me?" Wang Jing stared straight at Guan Moyu and asked.
Hearing this, Guan Moyu said without hesitation: "Invest in me, you have the final say in everything you shoot, and the cutting of the film can also be handed over to you, but I must have the final say in the distribution." ”
Speaking of this, Guan Moyu said with a smile: "In terms of actors, I will recommend a few people to you, you have the final say, it's just that I must play the role of Long Wu, and I will also send some people to learn from the crew, but I won't interfere in filming." ”
A flash of surprise flashed in his eyes, and seeing that Guan Moyu no longer spoke, Wang Jing couldn't help but ask, "That's it?" ”
"That's all." Guan Moyu said firmly.
Looking at Guan Moyu in front of him, a touch of excitement slowly appeared on Wang Jing's face, the power given to him by the other party was not big, but very large, and it was even equivalent to completely handing over the movie to him to operate, just this kind of trust There are few people in Hong Kong who can do it, and even only this one in front of him.
"Whew"
With a long sigh of relief, Wang Jing's chubby face showed a solemn look, and said, "Give this play to me, you will definitely not regret it." ”
Nodding with a chuckle, Guan Moyu picked up the water glass in front of him and gestured.
"Cheers."
One clinked glasses, and the two of them drank the water in the cups, then looked at each other and smiled.
Subsequently, the two started a discussion, and finally agreed that Guan Moyu would complete the script, while Wang Jing would prepare the crew, and as for the actors, the two decided to put it in the end, and the two of them would choose it together.
Looking at Wang Jing's figure that was leaving excitedly, Guan Moyu's eyes flashed with a gleam, although his main purpose in the film "God of Gamblers" was to learn, but he didn't mean to give 10 million to someone who had only seen two sides and leave it alone.
The previous non-interference does not mean that Guan Moyu really does not interfere, such as the financial aspect he must hold in his hands, Wang Jing has no way to object, after all, the relationship between the two people is really not good enough to hand over 10 million Hong Kong dollars to each other without asking.
As for the editing right to the other party, Guan Moyu even kept a hand, if the other party's cut out of the film made him satisfied, he naturally wouldn't say anything, but if he was not satisfied, he didn't recommend using the final editing right to cut it again.
In this way, he will instruct the lawyer to explain in the contract, of course, when the time comes, he needs to be a little more hidden, at least not let the other party find out.
Doing this can't be said to be despicable, but if you want to become a businessman, you have to do it, otherwise you don't know when you will be killed by people and have no place to be buried, this is the origin of the shopping mall without a father and son.
Although he was reborn once, Guan Moyu still had to be careful, after all, some things can't be done with high vision, otherwise there would be no word 'high eye, high hand and low eye'.
Putting away the script, Guan Moyu pondered again.
10 million Hong Kong dollars, 5.4 million Hong Kong dollars extorted from Chen Lian that cannot be spent normally, at this time it is just enough to shoot a film, plus the remaining 3 million left by him selling the rights to the novel, a total of 8.4 million, when the time comes, you can advance the manuscript fee of "Tomb of the Gods" in advance, and finally pull Zhang Ya to invest a little, and 10 million will be made up.
After solving the investment, Guan Moyu began to analyze the matter.
In another world, this "God of Gamblers" starring Fa Ge and Liu Tianwang and others, directed by Wang Jing, broke the Hong Kong box office record as soon as it was broadcast in 1989, selling 40 million, and this does not include Hong Kong and Taiwan.
It can be said that although it is six years ahead of schedule, the box office may not reach that high, but as long as it is filmed, it is difficult to lose.
The expenses and benefits are settled, and the rest is the goal of this time.
Li Weiqiang and others were arranged to study in the crew, and it was up to them how much they could learn, outsiders couldn't help much, of course, if the other party couldn't show their value, Guan Moyu would definitely abandon a few people without hesitation.
Today, Guan Moyu is no longer the one who can't be found when filming "The Tuner", with his current fame and status, as long as he releases his words, a large number of photographers and other crew members will definitely be automatically sent to the door.
Of course, if he doesn't perform well, he will give up on the other party, and if he performs well, he will naturally not be stingy, and will definitely try his best to cultivate the other party.
The last and most important thing is Guan Moyu himself, he is not worried about the study of directing and acting skills, he has the ability to play cards, and a "God of Gamblers" is definitely enough to cultivate a few of his cards to the level of 'intermediate'.
This time, Guan Moyu values the role of 'Dragon Five' the most.
Looking at "God of Gamblers", what can leave an impression in it is that there is Gao Jin, the God of Gamblers, and the bodyguard Long Wu, compared with the role of Long Wu, even the knife boy played by Liu Tianwang is a few levels worse.
For the role of Gao Jin, Guan Moyu is not without ideas, but he is self-aware, with his current acting skills, his acting face is expressionless, everything depends on the fight of Long Wu, and he wants to play Gao Jin, unless his 'acting skills' can reach the expert level, this can cooperate with his extraordinary insight, try this role, otherwise, he doesn't want to ruin this classic, he is still honest
A little bit.
In addition to these benefits, Guan Moyu did not have the idea of broadening his contacts with the help of Wang Jing, after all, he has been in this industry for too short, and Wang Jing has not only been in the industry for several years, but also has Wang Tianlin, his father, and his own connections can rank in the top twenty in the entire circle.
If Wang Jing is matched, coupled with his current fame and status, as long as his brain does not cramp, he will definitely gain a lot this time.
At the very least, it's still under the box office poison. The fat brother of the medicine, as well as the model worker praised by King Liu Tian in later generations, will definitely not escape from the palm of his hand.
"What do you think? So obsessed? I didn't even notice when I came in? ”
