Chapter 281: The sequel to "The True Colors of Heroes".

It has been two months since the boom of "The True Colors of Heroes", Wu Yusen has gained fame and fortune, and his life is very nourishing, he has not been idle in the past two months, the success of "The True Colors of Heroes" has given him a lot of inspiration, so he wants to conceive a new work, the only thing that makes him uneasy is that he feels that the traces of imitation are too heavy, and he is afraid that the big boss Wang Zichuan will veto his idea.

Wu Yusen told his good friend Xu Ke about his creativity, and he wanted to hear about one of the other party's ideas.

"Good idea!" Xu Ke listened to it and praised it, he really felt that Wu Yusen's idea was good, "The True Color of Heroes" was successful in the past, and if this film was made, it would definitely be a big hit.

Wu Yusen smiled: "With your words, I am relieved!" ”

Xu Ke's eyes rolled and he thought about it: "Lao Wu, let me tell you, I have similar thoughts recently, after watching "The True Color of Heroes", I also thought about making a gunfight film, let's sum up and come up with a script, you are the director, I am the producer, how about it?" ”

Wu Yusen was puzzled: "Didn't you direct a "A Chinese Ghost Story"? ”

Xu Ke said with a smile: "The film has been completed, and now it is in the post-production, I really think the idea just now is good, you have experience directing "The True Color of Heroes", I have a film studio, the two of us cooperate, lose money and count me, and make money for two people!" ”

Wu Yusen is a sincere person, he originally wanted to show the creativity to Wang Zichuan, if the other party felt that he could shoot, he would immediately write the script, but now Xu Ke has come to cut off his beard, and he hates righteousness when he says it, which makes him in a dilemma, he and Xu Ke copy "The True Colors of Heroes" behind Wang Zichuan's back, I don't know if the other party will be angry.

Xu Ke didn't know what Wu Yusen was hesitating about, and asked: "Old Wu, what I just said is from my heart, if you think it's appropriate, the script can also be handed over to me to write, and I won't interfere with your shooting techniques." The two of us have been working together for so many years, can't you still trust me! ”

Wu Yusen said worriedly: "I don't believe you, you also know that "The True Color of Heroes" was filmed by Mr. Wang, should we ask for instructions when we do this?" ”

Xu Kedao: "What is there to ask for, we do ours, Mr. Wang also has shares in my studio, and the films he makes are still his, and he takes the lion's share of the money, but what I care about is the influence of the film." Expand the popularity of film studios, you are good at violent aesthetics, don't you want to carry forward this knowledge? ”

Wu Yusen's heart was moved and asked, "How much do you plan to invest?" Let me tell you the truth first, the investment of 10 million in "The True Color of Heroes" is seventy-seven eighty-eight, if you really plan to invest, be careful of losing money. ”

Xu Ke estimated it and said: "This is also a gunfight movie. Considering the production cost of "The True Color of Heroes", I think the film investment should be about 7 million! ”

Wu Yusen was puzzled: "Is 7 million too little? Now Zhou Yanfa's salary is 1 million, and "The True Color of Heroes" and "Hardcover Chasing Girls" have been sold one after another, and he is not a box office poison now! ”

Xu Ke was silent for a while. said: "That's it, let's write the script first, "A Chinese Ghost Story" is about to be released, you have heard about the situation in the theater." "Mr. Zombie" has been screened in 35 theaters, and "Hardcover Chasing Girls" is being screened in four theaters, and I guess it will be when "A Chinese Ghost Story" is released. "Mr. Zombie" and "Hardcover Chasing Girls" should be drawn! ”

Wu Yusen was surprised: "Do you want thirty-nine theaters to screen "A Chinese Ghost Story" in a row?" This is impossible, even if it is released for 20 days, the box office will easily exceed 40 million! ”

Xu Ke also couldn't figure out Wang Zichuan's thoughts, he hoped that thirty-nine theaters would screen "A Chinese Ghost Story" in a row, but his relationship with the theater manager Chen Baixiang was really not good, if he cut the number of theaters, he had no choice, so it was also to comfort Wu Yusen, not to mention that most of the dividends would be given to Wang Zichuan, and there was not much left in the studio.

"No matter how many theaters are released, it is very possible for the box office to exceed 30 million!"

Wu Yusen lowered his head and thought for a while, and said: "If "A Chinese Ghost Story" dividends are divided, the funds must be enough!" ”

Xu Ke said with a smile: "I also mean this, since the film continues the style of "The True Color of Heroes", the starring role must be Zhou Yanfa!" Your relationship with him, make this request, I think Zhou Yunfa has no reason to refuse! ”

"Zhou Runfa is wrapped around me, we are in contact often, Ah Fa is kind!" Wu Yusen trusts Zhou Runfa very much, and the two often get together for a small get-together, and Zhou Runfa also said that if there is a film contract, he will definitely agree.

Xu Kedao: "I plan to write the script as a sequel to "The True Color of Heroes", what do you think?" ”

Wu Yusen said: "Sequel? But I conceived a prequel, and I think that the audience must be curious to know how to write about how Brother Pony and Brother Hao established a friendship and how the two of them met! ”

Xu Ke frowned, this Wu Yusen was not like this before, and explained: "I think it's better to write a sequel, there is room for a sequel, the audience likes the sequel, or likes the prequel, needless to say, everyone knows very well." ”

Wu Yusen has a hard time, he will shoot a sequel, when Wang Zichuan added a photo of Xiao Ma's twin brother to the movie, he knew that the big boss decided to make a sequel, and now if he and Xu Ke make a sequel, this is not to rob the big boss's job.

Xu Ke didn't know these inside stories, but his idea of shooting a sequel would not change, the two argued, and the atmosphere became delicate.

"Huh? What's wrong with you two? As soon as Shi Nansheng came in, he saw Xu Ke and Wu Yusen parting their heads and sulking at each other.

Xu Ke said in a rough voice: "Men's affairs, women don't care!" ”

Wu Yusen glanced at Shi Nansheng apologetically and said, "We are discussing the plot of the movie, and our opinions are a little different. ”

Shi Nansheng glanced at Xu Ke, and explained to Wu Yusen in a low voice: "Mr. Wu, you may not know, Xu Ke has been very annoying recently, the studio is controlled by Mr. Wang, and he really wants to make money to redeem the shares of the studio, so he will definitely give priority to the box office in his heart, don't you mind." ”

Wu Yusen was a little surprised and asked, "Wasn't the film studio invested by Xu Ke?" ”

Shi Nansheng smiled bitterly: "How can we have so much money, Mr. Wang promised that within a year, we can be allowed to redeem the shares, Mr. Wu, you are Xu Ke's old friend, you have to help him." ”

Xu Ke frowned and said, "What are you two muttering?" ”

Shi Nansheng said: "It's nothing, I came from Mr. Chen just now." ”

Xu Ke asked, "Mr. Chen?" Which Mr. Chen? ”

Shi Nansheng said: "It's Chen Baixiang, the manager of the Oriental Cinema Line, he has promised to screen "A Chinese Ghost Story" in the Oriental Cinema, now you can rest assured, I heard that the Tengfei Entertainment Propaganda Department has already taken action!" ”

Xu Kedao: "Propaganda Department? They are just nosy, and the audience will naturally judge whether the film is good or not, what kind of fun are they making? ”

Wu Yusen planned to ease the relationship, and said with a smile: "Actually, this is the rule set by Mr. Wang, and every film company will publicize it. ”

Shi Nansheng said: "Isn't it! Everyone is not optimistic about "Mr. Zombie", ATV TV broadcasts short films in prime time every day, isn't the box office very hot, and now the box office is 2.3 million in a single day! ”

Xu Ke asked: "Did Mr. Chen promise that "A Chinese Ghost Story" would be released in 39 theaters at the same time?" ”

Shi Nansheng nodded: "But the release date is only 15 days." ”

"How many days has Mr. Zombie been released?" Xu Ke thinks that his own "A Chinese Ghost Story" will definitely surpass Mr. Zombie.

"I heard it's 20 days!" Shi Nansheng was also in a bad mood, and said tentatively: "Do you want me to contact Mr. Wang?" ”

Xu Kedao: "Wait and see, if "Mr. Zombie" is really screened for 20 days, we will ask for an extension of the screening date." ”

Wu Yusen said with a smile: "Actually, Mr. Wang knows everything in his heart, if the attendance rate of "A Chinese Ghost Story" does not decline, it will be a problem for a month after it is released. ”

Shi Nansheng saw that the two of them began to talk and laugh again, and said with a smile: "You continue to chat, I have to read the studio accounts again." ”

Wu Yusen said: "With this virtuous help, the studio will definitely be able to grow." ”

Xu Ke took the opportunity to invite: "Lao Wu, why don't you come and help me, join the studio, how about we work together!" ”

Wu Yusen was stunned for a moment, and excused himself: "I am now the contracted director of Tengfei Entertainment!" ”

Xu Ke patted his chest and said with a smile: "As long as you agree, I will solve it on Mr. Wang's side, anyway, most of the studio shares are in his hands, and it is the same wherever you shoot, I remember that a few years ago, our ideal was to establish a studio and make movies freely!" ”

Wu Yusen said: "Let's wait a little longer, I'll think about it!" ”

Xu Kedao: "Actually, my studio is not worse than ordinary film companies, but there are very few directors. ”

If Xu Ke invited Wu Yusen before filming "The True Colors of Heroes", he would not hesitate to agree, but now Wu Yusen regards Wang Zichuan as a benefactor, without "The True Colors of Heroes", there would be no current Wu Yusen, and if he wanted to abandon Tengfei Entertainment to join the film studio, without Wang Zichuan's consent, he would not agree.

Although he only talked for a while, Wu Yusen faintly felt that Xu Ke seemed to have changed, Xu Ke was not like this before, and he was like money.

After Wu Yusen left, Shi Nansheng came out, came behind Xu Ke, massaged him, and asked, "Mr. Wu didn't agree, right?" ”

Xu Ke sighed: "Now that he is the gold medal director of Tengfei Entertainment, how can he fancy me as a small temple, but he promised to make a few movies for me." ”

Shi Nansheng said: "It's okay like this, so as not to offend Mr. Wang." ”

Xu Ke suddenly stood up and asked, "I asked you to contact Mr. Shi, what happened to the result?" ”

Shi Nansheng recalled the scene of meeting Shi Tian, and said with a wry smile: "Mr. Shi wants to talk to you in person, but I think he seems to be very excited." ”

Xu Ke said with a smile: "That's good, with Mr. Shi's help, we will definitely be able to redeem the studio next year." ”

"Will this offend Mr. Wang?"

Xu Ke said with a smile: "I don't know, when the time comes, look at the situation, there are so many theaters in Hong Kong, are you still worried that the film will not be released?" (To be continued......)
