The failure of "Heroes of Heaven and Earth" did not make Wang Zhongjun lose his enthusiasm, and the important reason is that the film market in O3 has become more popular, with Hollywood blockbusters and Oscar-nominated and award-winning films lining up to enter the big 6 market, not to mention, the number of moviegoers is gradually increasing. The market is good, and a film can continue if it is smashed; The market is not good, even if there is a popular film, it must be carefully considered when the next film comes out, this is what businessmen think.

After the meeting that day, Wang Zhongjun made a phone call to Shao Yingying, and the content of the call was very concise, Wang Zhongjun asked: "Is "Accident" still filmed? ”

"Shoot." Shao Yingying's answer was even more straightforward, he knew that since Wang Zhongjun asked him this question, it meant that he was completely ready, and he just wanted to see how much confidence he had in this movie, after all, "Heroes of Heaven and Earth" starred him.

During this period, the TV series "Struggle" directed by Zhao Baogang and invested by Shao Yingying Studio appeared on the big screen, and the TV series starring Tong Dawei, Wen Zhang, and Zhu Yuchen quickly became popular in the entire TV drama market under the paving of "I Want to Be Famous", even if this TV series could not catch up with the high mountains of "I Want to Be Famous", several leading actors in the play were all popular, and even some classic lines were well known. For example, movies.

As it stands. Shao Yingying felt that the movie world was very enjoyable, "Hero" invested 30 million US dollars and made a lot of money, and the title of "Heroes of Heaven and Earth" had two more words. As a result, he lost a lot of money.

It's so much fun, and the world of movies raises the difficulty to the point where a film doesn't have a good script, good actors, and good performances to get a high box office. There are too many links to take care of here, and any one of them is weak, and it is possible to lose the whole game.

Shao Yingying went back to Huayi Company to find Wang Zhongjun and held a small meeting alone, at this meeting, there were just two of them, Wang Zhongjun said that there was news from the galaxy, and Du Qifeng was interested in this script, on the condition that the script should be modified by You Naihai, and there was only one reason, and it was easy to use; The handheld machine has to be done by Du Kefeng. There is still only one reason, he uses his hand; The editing has to be advocated by Luo Yong, there is still only one reason, use it easily, everything else is casual, and the final requirement is that he wants the only right to speak in the crew. Hearing this request, Shao Yingying smiled, and he remembered that Baodao and Xiangjiang singers needed special treatment when they needed someone to choreograph when they wanted to shoot an MV. Find a domestic dancer to choreograph, all the dance steps have to be modified over and over again, find a foreign dancer to choreograph, people will leave after choreographing, don't repair, don't change, don't say, you can't miss a child.

Hearing this, Shao Yingying reluctantly nodded, now the compromise is a last resort, who made him unable to control such a dense rhythm? in his world. There is no such thing as 'you can't play, you can't play anymore', if you can't play, Shao Yingying will learn. In the process of learning, he admits punishment and admits punishment, and one day he learns and learns to be completed. If you win under your rules, that's called success.

"Mr. Wang, I also have only one request, I must participate in the final draft of the script, and they can't say that the manuscript will be changed to whatever it looks like, otherwise we may not be able to even get it on our side."

Wang Zhongjun definitely said: "I will communicate with the other party on this point, if it is fast, they will be able to fly over for a meeting in a few days." ”

Shao Yingying left Wang Zhongjun's office and went home to continue to serve pregnant women, Gao Yuanyuan's weight is increasing rapidly, she can eat, sleep and vomit every day, I don't know why Gao Yuanyuan's Renchen period is very long, and she will still have a slight smell and have to go to the toilet immediately.

A few days later, Wang Zhongjun called again, saying that the people from the galaxy had arrived and that a meeting would be held the day after tomorrow.

Shao Yingying was faintly excited, seeing that the "Accident" crew he had saved up was about to take shape, he was even more excited than the first time he followed the formation of the "Blade 1937" crew.

On the day of the meeting, Shao Yingying appeared in the company's conference room early according to his habits, the second to attend was Wang Zhongjun, the third was Wang Zhonglei, and the legendary 'Adu' actually stepped into the conference room and was a minute late, no more, no less.

When Du Qifeng appeared in the conference room with eyes, You Nahai, Du Kefeng, and Luo Yongchan behind him also walked in, and it was this team that played the 'Du's style' signboard, giving Xiangjiang Film a shining golden signboard.

"Okay, everyone is due, let's have a meeting."

Wang Zhongjun waved to the door, thinking that the translator who was proficient in Cantonese had stepped into the room, otherwise they would probably not be able to communicate because of language problems. This is not the era of Xiangjiang artists collectively tutoring Chinese, during this time period, many artists will keep stuttering 'uh, uh' when they speak Chinese, and some people even can't say it at all.

"The total investment of the book "Accident", we plan to control it at about 2ooo million, because there is no large-scale explosion in this film, there is no collision of luxury cars, what we are looking for is just a rhythm, even if Director Du plans to use some Xiangjiang artists he is familiar with, I think this price is also very suitable." Wang Zhongjun glanced at Du Qifeng.

Du Qifeng stretched out his hand, which meant that he would not intervene now, waiting for Wang Zhongjun to finish speaking.

"Okay, let's continue to discuss the cast, He Guohui's actor is played by Huayi's Shao Yingying, this is what we have discussed before, and the rest of the gang members Fatty, Uncle, Meiling, He Guohui's wife, insurance broker Fang Zhou, Mrs. Fang Zhou, and Fang Zhou's father-in-law have not yet been decided, let's discuss it together."

Du Qifeng shrugged and said, "Fatty? Lin Qiao. ”

"Yes." Regarding Du Qifeng's first name, Wang Zhongjun did not have any objection, which can be regarded as giving Du Qifeng a face.

You Naihai continued: "I have read the script, and I think the role of Meiling is very suitable for Chen Huilin to play, and it can play the very cold side very well. ”

"Uncle, I built yì Zeng Jiang to act." This is what Du Kefeng said.

"Nope."

Shao Yingying denied the other party's decision for the first time at the meeting: "Zeng Jiang's aura is too strong to play the old man, he can't show my leadership ability over the entire group, or the audience doesn't believe that Zeng Jiang will be afraid of me at all." ”

Du Kefeng didn't speak, glanced at Du Qifeng, the atmosphere froze for a while, Du Qifeng said, "Put it aside, let's continue." ”

Making movies is not about seeking popularity, and when the Xiangjiang Film Market has not yet made a boutique that combines word-of-mouth and box office in addition to "Infernal Affairs", Du Qifeng's confidence is not very strong.

In the end, except for the insurance broker Fang Zhou played by Wu Zhenyu, and the agent's wife Li Zi made a cameo, all the others were shelved.

There is no way not to put it aside, just the remuneration of Shao Yingying, Wu Zhenyu, Chen Huilin and the cameo remuneration of Xiangjiang gold medal supporting actors Lin Qiao and Li Zi account for a large part of the investment ratio, plus Du Qifeng's team, the investment of 2ooo million is definitely not much, if Du Qifeng doesn't want to rely on the big 6, such a small investment may not be willing to accept. That's it, it's still in the case of deliberately controlling zhì, because there are not many characters in the whole movie, if none of them have any characteristics and can't come up with the acting skills to support the movie, this movie will already lose in terms of quality.

After the meeting, Shao Yingying was left alone, and once again found Wang Zhongjun alone and said: "Can you increase the proportion of investment?" ”

Wang Zhongjun's answer was: "No, testing the waters and playing with tickets is the limit, not to mention that this movie has no big scenes at all." ”

"And what about our studio's capital injection?" Shao Yingying asked again.

Wang Zhongjun smiled: "Do you know how much box office this film has to come up with to pay back?" Are you sure that the movie in which you play the lead can make a higher box office than "Heroes of Heaven and Earth"? ”

Shao Yingying was speechless, in the market that has not proven himself, it is a fact that he does not have enough right to speak.

This world is like this, some actors can be popular on the small screen for a lifetime, such as Wang Zhiwen, although he has also acted in bad TV series, most of the TV series he starred in have good ratings, but when he reaches the big screen, he may not be a blockbuster; And some actors have not even been popular on the small screen, such as Huang Bo, even if "Migrant Worker" is very right, but after this TV series came out, there are still very few people who know who Huang Bo is, he became popular in the big screen market, so there is a masterpiece like "Militia Ge Erdan".

When an actor jumps from a market that he is good at to a market that he is not good at, there is no second choice but to compromise.

In order for this film to continue to be filmed, Shao Yingying chose to compromise, because Du Qifeng is unlikely to cooperate with Shao Yingying's studio, and this movie will not be written at all without Du's rhythm.

The meeting continued to be held after a gap of two days, Shao Yingying had no choice but to mention that Feng Qufan, an old drama bone in Xiangjiang, played the old uncle, he was originally an actor in this movie, and his acting skills naturally went without saying, but he didn't mention it before because Du Qifeng said 'shelving' in the last meeting, if he was opening his mouth at this time, he would be suspected of slapping his face.

Unexpectedly, Du Qifeng and his team collectively agreed, and everyone praised Feng Qufan.

When it came to the insurance broker Fang Zhou's father-in-law, this character with only a few shots made everyone stuck again, and finally Wang Zhongjun had a flash of inspiration and said: "Director Du, why don't you string one?" ”

When the cast was decided, Shao Yingying played the actor He Guohui, Chen Huilin played Meiling, Lin Qiao played the fat man, Feng Qufan played the uncle, Wu Zhenyu played the insurance broker, Li Zi made a cameo appearance as Mrs. Fang Zhou, and Du Qifeng made a cameo appearance as Fang Zhou's father-in-law.
