Liu Guanwei had the idea of making a fantasy film very early, and he had this idea when Hong Jinbao filmed "People Are Scary" and "Ghost Fights Ghosts", although he was only a small photographer at the time, and since then, he has been collecting materials and constructing scripts.

The hard work paid off, the opportunity finally came, and the company boss Wang Zichuan took a fancy to his script: "Mr. Zombie", and made him a director!

"May I ask Miss Secretary, is Mr. Wang here?"

Liu Guanwei was quite helpless, his big boss changed his secretary too often, Zhang Meng, Ye Zimei, and Li Yi were just familiar with them, and they could talk to each other, so Mr. Wang changed his secretary.

Qiu Shuzhen took her eyes off the computer screen, she has been trying to learn how to use the computer recently, and the headache is that so far, she can only type.

"You are?" Looking at the neatly dressed man in front of her, Qiu Shuzhen looked at it with a puzzled look.

Liu Guanwei said: "My name is Liu Guanwei, and I am the company's ...... Assistant Director! ”

Add a sub-word in front of the director, he has not been officially promoted to director, he has been sitting as an assistant director, a photographer, and sometimes he can make temporary cameos as a director, just like when he was making "Nightclub", he directed a few scenes.

Qiu Shuzhen's eyes immediately despised a lot, an assistant director is nothing, that is, the director and producer are respectful to her.

"Liu Guanwei? I'll check, you didn't have an appointment, did you? Mr. Wang is dealing with Wen Jiàn, if you don't have anything important, you can wait in the reception room outside, and I will call you when I have time. ”

Liu Guanwei's expression was slightly bitter, this little secretary is really difficult, when will I have to get your approval when I see Mr. Wang?

Before Qiu Shuzhen met, the man was still not leaving, and frowned: "It's useless for you to stand here, Mr. Wang is very busy today." ”

"Yes!"

Liu Guanwei nodded expressionlessly, see how I teach you, turned around and went out and knocked on Wang Zichuan's office.

"Come in!"

Liu Guanwei pushed open the door. smiled: "Mr. Wang, are you busy?" ”

Wang Zichuan looked at Liu Guanwei unexpectedly and said with a smile: "I guess you will come over, sit down." ”

Qiu Shuzhen covered her mouth and said secretly: It's troublesome, it turns out that he knows Mr. Wang! An assistant director also has a background?

Stomping her feet, Qiu Shuzhen secretly blamed Zhang Mian for teaching herself that the things she taught were not suitable, and she said that she tried to block it without an appointment, and now she is in trouble!

Liu Guanwei didn't have the heart to worry about Qiu Shuzhen, so he handed over the budget he had calculated to Wang Zichuan. explained: "Mr. Wang, this is the budget of "Mr. Zombie". ”

Wang Zichuan flipped through a few photos, not only the famous actors' salaries, but also the price of the lunch box, the cost of the actors, etc., Wang Zichuan saw such a beautiful budget for the first time, and praised: "It's very detailed, this report will be left with me first, and I will let people make a few copies." In the future, all directors in the company will do what is written above, and it is okay to spend money, I want to know where to spend it. ”

Liu Guanwei said: "Mr. Wang, in fact, the script of "Mr. Zombie". I've been thinking about it for years, and I don't have a single shot where I have several shots, and I want to try it out and shoot every shot. Choose the clip you like best. ”

Wang Zichuan didn't want to refuse, he was also a director, and he also had this kind of idea. Who doesn't want their films to be more sophisticated and sell better.

"It's easy to waste too many shots, and if you scratch out classic shots, such as funny shots, you can try these shots."

After Liu Guanwei pondered, he nodded and smiled: "Thank you, Mr. Wang, just like this, the cost will be a little higher." ”

Wang Zichuan continued to look at the budget of "Mr. Zombie", and replied: "It doesn't matter if the cost is a little higher, you have to control the scale, I don't want a budget of 5 million, and it will take 10 million to finish filming in the end, and I don't want to see which director holds the film hostage to his own weight, today he says that the cost is 3 million, tomorrow it will cost 4 million, and the day after tomorrow it will cost 5 million, such a person is making money, and I won't want him." ”

Liu Guanwei is awe-inspiring, he has seen a lot of this kind of director, in order to pursue the picture in his mind, the camera was shot over and over again, there is no money, just like the investor wants it, and the investor generally compromises, after all, half of the film is filmed, and if you give up, you will give up all the work, and you won't get a penny.

Speaking of these, Wang Zichuan is vaccinated, this is the case in his original memory, when Liu Guanwei filmed "Mr. Zombie", he misestimated the budget, but fortunately his boss was Hong Jinbao, who responded to requests, and was finally ready to lose money.

The most classic one was made by Wang Jiawei, who wrote a script to fool the producer into investing, but the big stars invited one after another, which originally cost several million, but who knew that Wang Jiawei's filming was all based on feeling, until it reached 40 million, and in the end the film only had a box office of 9 million, and the producer vomited blood and was hospitalized because of anxiety.

Liu Guanwei said: "Mr. Wang, please rest assured, this time I invited all the old drama bones, and there will be no problems." ”

Speaking of old drama bones, Wang Zichuan remembered talking to Hong Jinbao about "Lucky Stars Gaozhao" two days ago, and asked: "I heard that you invited Lin Zhengying of the Hong family, right?" ”

Liu Guanwei nodded cautiously, he was afraid of Wang Zichuan's opposition, so he cut it first, the company produced the film, and he has always liked the starring role of people from his own company, and rarely invited outsiders, not to mention that Lin Zhengying's role is the protagonist.

Wang Zichuan said: "I don't object to you inviting him, but why don't you inform me, Mr. Hong complained to me fiercely, I have a hard time arguing, and I almost became a repeated villain." ”

Liu Guanwei said embarrassedly: "I think Lin Zhengying is very suitable for this role, so I asked him to sign a contract privately." ”

"Forget it! Never mind! This matter has passed like this, and it will not be an example in the future. ”

Qiu Shuzhen took two glasses of boiling water and walked in with a nervous expression.

"Mr. Wang, this is freshly boiled boiling water, be careful of scalding!"

"Mr. Liu, this is yours!"

"Thank you!" Liu Guanwei nodded slightly.

Qiu Shuzhen breathed a sigh of relief, it seems that this Mr. Liu did not sue me.

Liu Guanwei said: "Mr. Wang, how is the schedule of "Mr. Zombie" arranged ......, can it be released in the New Year?" ”

Wang Zichuan couldn't help but laugh and reminded: "Anyway, you try your best to shoot "Mr. Zombie", you don't have to think about it in the New Year, Mr. Hong plans to take "Lucky Star Gaozhao" to Oriental Cinemas for release, and "Mr. Zombie" should be in front." ”

Hearing that Hong Jinbao had booked a New Year's file, Liu Guanwei immediately dispelled the idea, if only others could fight for it, but Hong Jinbao, he really couldn't be angry, not to mention whether the president in front of him would agree or not, that is, he had received the favor of Hong Jinbao, and he would not become a villain who would take revenge.

Wang Zichuan thought for a while, and really couldn't think of what kind of producer to send to Liu Guanwei, the producer is in charge of money, so he must have prestige, but Liu Guanwei's qualifications are very old, one of the initial teams of his own business, enjoying the company's additional allotment dividends, Wang Jin can, but this kid is busy forming the crew of "Chasing Girls".

Liu Guanwei twisted and said: "Mr. Wang, can you approve the funds to me today, I want to start the machine as soon as possible." ”

Wang Zichuan nodded and said: "Okay, I'll give you a note, "Mr. Zombie" is a Republic of China fantasy film, there is no sponsorship Kela, and the funds must be managed by a person, just Ah Can, you and he are both veterans of the company, and the three of us have also worked on the floor together, I hope you two will cooperate well and don't let me down!" ”

Liu Guanwei said: "Mr. Wang, don't worry, Ah Can is very suitable, thank you Mr. Wang." ”

Wang Zichuan opened a note and stamped it on it, the budget of "Mr. Zombie" was 5 million, and he only filled in 5 million.

Generosity also varies from person to person, if it is Wang Jin, he will give him an extra 500,000 to 1 million, because he knows that Wang Jin's filming has always been a block, and most of the funds are used for the star's salary, as for the scenes and films, they can be saved, and they are often done, and the extra money he gives is to want Wang Jin to use the money on the blade, and the lens should not be improved, but the obviously flawed ones must be reshot, which Wang Jin never disappointed.

But Liu Guanwei is different, Wang Zichuan often chooses him as an assistant, and he understands his habits very well, just the opposite of Wang Jin, he doesn't care about the cost, he just wants to make the lens more sophisticated, and often a shot costs several times the cost of film, and the cost naturally rises slowly.
