Gu Chen took a sip of coffee, then leaned back on the chair comfortably, and put his feet directly on the desk: "Hehe, Zou Wenhuai and Cheng Long don't think so." Okay, let's not talk about it, have you looked for Donnie Yen, what does he think? ”

Zeng Zhiwei was already surprised by some of Gu Chen's actions and habits, and said indifferently: "Are you looking too highly of him, what else can he think, with a big investment of 60 million, find him a little-known actor to be the protagonist, if he doesn't agree, he will really be kicked in the head by a donkey, I don't know how many big-name stars are rushing to ask for such an opportunity." ”

"Don't underestimate him, his potential is no less than Cheng Long, if it's okay, you can give him the script of "Blade Warrior", let him prepare well during this time, this is the first big-budget movie invested in the Tang Dynasty, and there must be no mistakes."

After nearly a year of preparation, Gu Chen finally decided to invest in the first big-budget movie, although the investment of 60 million Hong Kong dollars is really not a big amount compared to the investment in US dollars in later generations, but in this era when the investment in most films is only millions of Hong Kong dollars, the investment of 50 million is already an out-and-out big investment. And the first one he chose was the famous sci-fi action movie "Blade".

However, the background of the film was modified by him, and the vampires in the play were also replaced by him with zombies with more Chinese characteristics, but this zombie is not the zombie with stiff movements in Lin Zhengying's zombie film, which is more similar to vampires, and also lives by sucking human blood.

And the Tang Dynasty special effects company in which he invested heavily will also usher in the first real actual battle.

Zeng Zhiwei nodded and said, "You are looking for Yuan Heping to be a martial arts instructor, who are you going to find as a director?" I think Yuan Heping is quite suitable, and even the German guy praised the martial arts action of "Top Secret Mission" for being very well designed. The Germans in his words refer to Derrank? Bruce.

Gu Chen shook his head lightly and said, "Yuan Heping is not suitable to be the director of this film. I called Wu Yusen last night, and he has already agreed to be the director of this film. ”

Yuan Heping's "Top Secret Mission" is certainly very successful, but "Blade" has a completely different element from "Top Secret Mission", that is, computer special effects, and many computer special effects will be added to the fight scenes in the film, such as slow motion of bullets hanging in the air, slow motion of dodging bullets, etc. Therefore, compared with Yuan Heping, Gu Chen is more confident in Wu Yusen, who created the aesthetic theory of violence.

Zeng Zhiwei shrugged his short shoulders and said that he had no opinion, and his many successful experiences made him habitually trust and obey Gu Chen's decision on issues such as film casting and director selection. And he thought about it. Wu Yusen is indeed more suitable as a director than Yuan Heping......

Hong Kong's paparazzi are really powerful, in the Tang Dynasty film did not be announced to the public, and even the company's content was only a few people knew, only a few days later, the news that Tang Dynasty Film will invest 60 million Hong Kong dollars to shoot an action movie appeared in major media. For a while, there was an exclamation, and there were doubters.

The exclamators are naturally amazed by the generosity of Tang Dynasty films; Skeptics question the veracity of the news. Maybe it's true that the Tang Dynasty will make another action movie. But it would be too much exaggeration to say that it would be an exaggeration to invest 60 million to make an action movie? Can you run out?

There are far more people who are skeptical than those who believe, and you must know that since the opening of Hong Kong, there has not been a film with an investment of more than 20 million Hong Kong dollars, and this data has suddenly increased to 60 million, no wonder many people do not believe it. It is estimated that even those who believe will be skeptical.

At this moment, more detailed information flowed out from within the Tang Dynasty:

"Fantasy action movie!! This is the definition given by Tang Dynasty Film Company to this film called "Blade", it is said that a large number of computer special effects will be added to the film, and perhaps most of the seemingly huge investment will be consumed in the production of special effects. I really want to see what kind of effect a Hong Kong action movie with special effects will have. And what is the so-called fantasy. We'll see. ”

Another highlight is that the actor of this film is not a well-known popular actor, his name is Donnie Yen, and he has starred in three movies before, but these three movies are mediocre, so that he is not well-known in Hong Kong. However, it is said that he is very good at kung fu and has won the American martial arts championship, which should be one of the main reasons why he can be selected by Gu Chen, but is it a bit risky to choose an actor whose strength has not yet been affirmed for a big-budget movie with an investment of up to 60 million Hong Kong dollars? Maybe this time, Gu Chen will show us his extraordinary ability to recognize heroes and turn stones into gold. ”

The position of "Oriental Daily" has always been pro-Gu Chen, and the advantage of this is that you can always get first-hand information about the Tang Dynasty and Gu Chen, and this time is obviously no exception.

The rumors have been confirmed to a certain extent, and the voices of doubt in the media have gradually decreased, but another discussion has begun, what does an action movie with a huge amount of 60 million dollars look like? This question is not only wanted by the editor of "Oriental Daily", but also by all those who often watch movies and like movies.

There is a market, the media naturally has to try their best to collect all kinds of news, and with the expansion of the report, the news about "Blade" appeared in the major media little by little, so a movie that didn't even start was hyped by the media more and more hot, and even Gu Chen, who was fueling the flames behind the scenes, didn't expect it.

It was at this time that an entertainment tabloid mentioned the comic of the same name from the American Marvel Comics Company when speculating on the plot of "Blade", and Gu Chen remembered that "Blade" seemed to be adapted from the comic of the same name from the Marvel Comics Company, and hurriedly sent someone to the United States to negotiate with the Marvel Comics Company to purchase the film adaptation rights of "Blade". Originally, he wanted to go to the United States in person, the purpose was naturally not just to buy the film adaptation rights of "Blade", but to buy the entire Marvel Comics company, no one knows better than him the value of the future Marvel Comics Company, and the superheroes are a money-printing machine.

Unfortunately, he dismissed this idea after the last moment, for a simple reason - not enough money. Of course, if all his funds were raised, it would be more than enough to buy three Marvel Comics companies, but his funds will be of great use in the near future, how can he use them now.
