If you want to win Zhang Yimou's "The City Full of Golden Armor", you must know what position you are standing in, Shao Yingying has calculated his position, that is, he does not have enough funds to bring this group of domestic big names to Hollywood to make a jaw-dropping sci-fi movie under the green set, a blockbuster like "Avatar" The amount of money invested in special effects alone is not something that Huayi can afford now, so, how should this battle be fought?

Since he can't rely on foreign scientific and technological means, Shao Yingying can only look for movies that meet his current investment environment in the domestic films in the computer, so that Ning Hao can shoot "Thirty-three Days of Broken Love" after filming "Crazy Gem"? This is a bit unrealistic, Wen Zhang's domestic box office attraction has not yet met the requirements, and Bai Lily is not as well-known as it was at that time, if these two people are matched together, they will not have that much influence at all in 2006, and the foreshadowing of "Hippie Smiley" alone will definitely not pull out the box office of "Thirty-three Days of Broken Love" in the future.

As for "Journey to the West", it is even more impossible, even if Xing Ye, who has always been strict, agrees to make this movie for Hua Yi, this movie may not be the original appearance, even if Shao Yingying prepares the storyboard script, Xing Ye's whimsical thinking will definitely not be filmed according to his Shao Yingying's ideas, if he is in a hurry, Xing Ye dares to pick on the master who leaves immediately.

Shao Yingying dragged down the page with the mouse until the moment "The Grandmaster" appeared in front of him...... His thoughts slowly took on the stubble face of the King of Sunglasses......

Forget it, the King of Sunglasses has been running for three years for "The Grandmaster". Not to mention the fact that after the news was stirred, a series of "Ip Man" appeared in the Xiangjiang Film Market. Even an actor like Huang Qiusheng has to intervene...... The key is that the speed of the king of sunglasses is too slow, he is a director who is so serious that he has obsessive-compulsive disorder, I remember that when Zou Jingzhi, the screenwriter of "The Grandmaster", started writing the script, the information in the sunglasses king's house has been spread all over the floor of the room, and there are all kinds of notes, old photos, interview videos and other materials, and Wang Jiawei no matter which piece of information he says, he can immediately find it in the messy information, that is to say, he has read these materials at least dozens of times. Otherwise, how could this bunch of things remember the location so clearly?

If you want to find the King of Sunglasses to fight Lao Mouzi in the ring with "The Grandmaster", the only way is to help him prepare all the materials in advance, even so. I also have to prevent him from overturning all previous assumptions in the middle of shooting.

It doesn't matter in terms of investment, most of the Xiangjiang Film Companies dragged down by the King of Sunglasses belong to the kind of companies that have to enter the company with poor capital turnover if they can't see the money for a film, and Huayi's current liquidity is about 200 million, which is enough to deal with Wang Jiawei anyway.

Or. Try "The Grandmaster"?

Shao Yingying asked himself a question in front of the computer. He knows that this movie must be made by Wang Jiawei, otherwise no one will be able to make that faint pretend-force.

"Brother Hui."

Shao Yingying searched in front of the computer for a while, and finally didn't find any suitable movies and called Liang Jiahui, the relationship has to be used, so that it can get closer and closer, otherwise it will become more and more estranged.

"Xiao Shao? How do you have time to call me? The celebration banquet is over, shouldn't you Huayi find the next project? What role do you want me to play? Liang Jiahui paused and said, "Xiao Shao, it's not that I don't want to help you." It's just that I helped promote "Song of Long Hatred" and "Underworld-Society", and I'm afraid I won't have time this year. Will it be okay next year? I'll keep you the time you want. ”

Shao Yingying smiled, Liang Jiahui really regards himself as a friend, otherwise it is impossible to say this kind of thing: "Brother Hui, for the time being, Huayi has no new film plan, I just want you to help me introduce someone, you have collaborated on "East Evil and West Poison", I want to meet Wang Jiawei." ”

"It's a lot of money, isn't it? With Wei Jiahui, what are you looking for Wang Jiawei for? Liang Jiahui's joking tone made Shao Yingying feel close, as if he was facing an old friend: "That's it, I'll help you get in touch, and you wait for my news." ”

With Liang Jiahui's promise, it is not difficult to see Wang Jiawei, but the difficult thing is to let Wang Jiawei speed up, and he must finish filming "The Grandmaster" within a year and fight next Christmas.

For Wang Jing in a year, he can come up with 24 movies, and even Du Qifeng's speed can reach the seventeen days of "Gunfire", but when it comes to Wang Jiawei, a year is definitely not a long time, even if he has plenty of funds, he dares to shoot a shot over and over again for a week. The most important thing is Wang Jiawei's waste, the most wasteful directors in the mainland are Zhang Yimou and Chen Kaige, Xiangjiang, Wang Jiawei said that he was the second, and absolutely no one dared to hit the first idea.

Half a month later, Shao Yingying took a plane to Xiangjiang, and saw that the time of the king of sunglasses was four o'clock in the afternoon, and the king of sunglasses seemed to be born not to belong to the fast-paced city of Xiangjiang, and arrived at the hotel with small steps slowly, without any eagerness, completely different from the people of Xiangjiang who were eager to run on the road.

"Mr. Shao, I'm Wang Jiawei."

Wang Jiawei didn't see the flattery of the big boss, let alone arrogance, the whole person was calm as if he had come to see an ordinary person, shaking hands, sitting down, and drinking a cup of tea were very natural.

Shao Yingying saw Wang Jiawei sitting on the sofa outside the suite, he knew that Wang Jiawei was smoking, but he didn't take the initiative to hand it over, after lighting one for himself, he pushed the cigarette case and lighter over: "Director Wang, this time we Huayi are here to ask you for help." ”

"Hit Zhang Yimou?" Wang Jiawei directly told the mystery that there was nothing false between the two, and they greeted the topic when they met.

"That's right." Shao Yingying was more direct and immediately admitted.

Wang Jiawei didn't take off his sunglasses, which had become his trademark, but he just reached out and took out the cigarettes in the cigarette case, and asked, "You guys have a script, or are you?" ”

"Hua Yi wants to use Director Wang's thoughts, we know that Director Wang has been visiting all the people in the martial arts all these years, and has already visited Li Lianjie's master, and you also plan to travel all over the two sides of the strait and visit all the heads of the martial arts. I know that Director Wang wants to make a kung fu film like no other, and I can provide you with the funds, and if you need it, I can also write the script for you. ”

"So good?" Wang Jiawei doesn't feel happy at all, he himself is born with a sense of superiority, coupled with the reputation of these years, as long as Wang Jiawei says that he wants to make a movie, the investor will definitely come to the door by himself, even if he drags down the bad records of many companies.

Shao Yingying nodded: "Not only that, Hua Yi also gave Director Wang absolute dominance, willing to invest 75 million, in addition, the bank account will also prepare 25 million reserve funds for Director Wang's new film, as long as it does not exceed the total of 100 million, we have no matter how much you use." ”

Wang Jiawei, who was unhurried, flicked the cigarette ash into the ashtray on the coffee table, and reached out to push his sunglasses: "But I only have one idea now, how to shoot this?" In the 60s and 70s, there were martial arts halls everywhere on the streets of Xiangjiang, and every street here was martial arts, and I wanted to show all this martial arts in my films, but this idea was not detailed to the characters, not to the story, no characters and stories, only the environment, which proved that this idea was not mature. ”

"I'll give you time." Shao Yingying said: "A year's time." ”

"In this year, I am willing to put down all the work in Huayi to accompany you to the north and south of the river, we visit door to door, and visit the masters on both sides of the strait and even abroad. It's only October, and we can go right away, as long as we finish the film by November next year. ”

Wang Jiawei has not met the boss who boasted about Haikou, he once had investors who were willing to promise him a qiē and let him shoot freely, but in the end, people were unwilling to invest after not long after filming. Now, Wang Jiawei has met Huayi, this is definitely not the kind of company that goes back on its word, but Wang Jiawei has concerns about cooperating with this kind of company.

"Is there a box office request?"

Shao Yingying shook his head: "No." ”

"I'm not going to use stunts."

"No problem."

Call.

Wang Jiawei didn't know what to say, and none of his requests were denied.

"A year, will it ...... Shorter? ”

Hearing this, Shao Yingying really wanted to laugh, he couldn't imagine that Wang Jiawei was so cute, he didn't make any requests in his honorarium, nor did he make any requests in the whole movie, just in terms of filming time......

"If I have time, Director Wang, I am willing to give you ten years to complete a nuanced movie, but what Hua Yi lacks is really time. For this reason, we are willing to increase the remuneration, if you shoot the whole film before September, I am ready for your remuneration of 10 million, of course, without putting any pressure on the box office, you will not have a box office share; After the auction in October, I only gave nine million; After the shoot in November, I only gave five million. "This is Shao Yingying's only way to deal with Wang Jiawei, if it weren't for the words that his heart picture had already released, Shao Yingying might not cooperate with Wang Jiawei in his life, so he would rather go to the Donnie Yen who 'I'm going to fight ten'.

Wang Jiawei nodded and said, "I'll choose five million." ”

"Director Wang, this is not a multiple-choice question." Shao Yingying couldn't hold it back, and finally smiled, it turned out that Wang Jiawei was so simple, all he wanted was a picture that was extremely exquisite, so he could take a shot NG30 times, and he could wait for a month to shoot a natural landscape.

"Oh." Wang Jiawei slowly extinguished the cigarette and said, "Then I will also choose five million." ”

He is stubborn like a child, he will never change what he wants, no matter whether the result is good or bad, whether it will add social status or wealth to himself, he only wants what he wants. (To be continued......)
