Chapter 183: Smiling Proud Jianghu Starts Filming
"Gambling films? Who directs? ”
There are a lot of gambling films in this era, but the top gambling film is none other than the God of Gamblers series, but this film was not filmed until 87 years, and Chen Jiayao doesn't know if this is the one in the future.
"Not sure."
"What about the script?"
"Still making ......"
Like Chen Jiayao, only money came to the door, but Zhou Yanfa returned the theme.
"Do you have any types of films?"
Zhou Yanfa took a puff of cigarette and said: "Integrate the elements of time-traveling, and also use the background of Shanghai Tang." ”
Chen Jiayao opened her mouth wide, who had such a whimsical idea. In later generations, there was a gambling film with the help of the background of Shanghai Tang, but it was a nonsensical comedy starring Zhou Xingchi, and there was no exit of Zhou Runfa at all.
It seems to be the butterfly effect of mythology, if it weren't for worrying about Zhou Yanfa's choice, she would really be looking forward to the script coming out at this time.
"Brother Fa, what do you mean ......?"
Zhou Yanfa said in a low voice: "At present, they are quite polite, and their salaries have also tripled. ”
Autumn fairy tale, Chen Jiayao gave a salary of only 500,000 at the beginning, which was relatively high compared to the value of Zhou Yanfa's movie at that time, and this time Yingchuan tripled, that is, 1.5 million, and stars at this time are absolutely rare with a salary of more than 1.5 million.
Zhou Yan sent a house to his family, and after paying the living expenses of a large family, he did not accumulate much savings at all, plus it was a regular movie, this price is indeed quite exciting, and the money at this time is much higher than the value of money after the nineties. After the nineties, let alone one and a half million. Fifteen million, Zhou Yunfa will not feel anything.
"But I don't believe in their scripts, I believe in their producers, and I don't want to encounter things that I can't get rid of if I get into trouble, A-Yao, what do you think?"
This is asking Chen Jiayao why she agreed to shoot "Love Letter".
Speaking of this, Chen Jiayao had another headache, and she completely relied on the future prophet to seek a favorable side for herself.
Yongsheng is a movie giant in the 90s after all, and he can't afford to offend. If the film companies of other community organizations ask her to cooperate, Chen Jiayao will probably find a way to refuse. Ultimately. Chen Jiayao is a person who is cowardly and can't let go.
"As you said, their scripts and production are very unreassuring, and I am afraid that they will be like heroin."
Chen Jiayao paused: "So I took a step back, they only provide investment." I'll do the rest myself. Take control of the crew. This can be a lot more reassuring, and it can also be involved with them as little as possible. As for the future, that's for later. If our movies don't sell well, they won't be willing to cooperate with us, so they will naturally get rid of it, and if they are blockbusters, they will have the right to speak in the future, but they don't shoot too much frequently, and only maintain a cooperative relationship, which can still be done with my fame and connections. ”
Speaking of which, Chen Jiayao's voice was much quieter.
Zhou Yanfa on the other side smiled bitterly: "You can see it, and you take it for granted." ”
Chen Jiayao shook her head, where can she see it, she doesn't like these relationship chores, she really hopes that there is only one filming environment, the kind where she doesn't care about anything except filming.
As for taking it for granted, maybe, or maybe it is really possible.
"A-Yao, don't talk about it, if you have inspiration, can you ask you to write the script of this gambling film?"
After the successful release of "Myth" and "Autumn Fairy Tale", Chen Jiayao's screenwriting ability is still very recognized in the circle.
Chen Jiayao agreed: "I'll try my best." ”
Zhou Yanfa smiled and said, "Can A-Yao help me introduce Wang Jin?" ”
Chen Jiayao was a little surprised, Zhou Runfa and Wang Jin have met, and Zhou Runfa and Wang Tianlin are more familiar, why do you want her to help introduce them?
Zhou Yunfa explained: "Director Wang has been hot recently, since "The Frog Prince" has achieved a high box office, "I Love Lolanto" has also done well at the box office, and now everyone has to line up to see him, and I heard that he went to retreat to write scripts, and no one can see him. ”
Chen Jiayao then remembered that "I Love Lolanto" and "The Frog Prince" followed a routine, but they were not as exquisite as "The Frog Prince", and the plot was slightly weak, but it also won a box office of more than 9.8 million at a cost of 1.8 million, plus the movie is only supported by a slightly famous comedy star like Chen Baixiang, and can have such a high achievement, it can be seen that Wang Jin has become a hot choice for many investors.
Therefore, Wang Jin is also enthusiastic about such comedies, and even created "Modern Cinderella" in advance, not to mention, one of his masterpieces "Hardcover Chasing Girls" also has a prototype, and I want to improve it again, which is enough to be successfully filmed.
Maybe he wanted to pull her into the gang, or maybe he trusted her, a formed script and an idea prototype script, he mentioned it to Chen Jiayao, Chen Jiayao naturally encouraged him to create it, in addition to the original features, it also provided some new ideas, which made him addicted, saying that he would not come to her celebration party, and he would go to retreat to create the script.
"Okay, I'll try to ask him out."
Chen Jiayao agreed, and thought that she wanted her to create a gambling film, so it was better to let Wang Jin create it!
She can come up with ideas like special features or something.
The gambling film series, with Chen Jiayao's current image, is still less troublesome, as for the future, such a film, Chen Jiayao can't shoot it, it is better to use it as a favor.
hung up the phone, Chen Jiayao also called Wang Jin, heard Chen Jiayao's intention, and also said that it was a good coincidence to let Chen Jiayao go straight.
The director and screenwriter that Kagegawa was looking for turned out to be Wang Jin.
Wang Jin proposed to travel and borrow the gambling film from the background of "Shanghai Tang", but he didn't have a clue how to make it up, and now he has a headache.
However, because of this, Zhou Runfa reassured him, Wang Jin's movie reputation is not very good, but the box office is still very good, plus he is very responsible for the movie, and he shoots completely for the love of movies, Zhou Runfa believes in his acting skills, and his previous two worries have dissipated.
Rare to have time, Chen Jiayao also made an appointment to discuss a good day, after providing inspiration, Wang Jin immersed himself in his thoughts, Zhou Yanfa and Chen Jiayao left the box when they saw this, although they were idle for a while, but they were still busy.
In mid-December, 18 days after the release of "Autumn Fairy Tale", the box office has reached more than 25 million, only a few hundred thousand less than this year's box office champion "Five Lucky Stars", and "Autumn Fairy Tale" has a 24-day schedule, and it is only a matter of time before it exceeds the box office of "Five Lucky Stars".
Li Ammonium also returned to the United States during this time to make preliminary preparations, and when the box office funds were in place, he could start filming.
At this time, Chen Jiayao joined the crew of "Smiling Proud Jianghu". (To be continued......)
