The era of Zhao Chengwen's youth was still the era of martial arts.

Looking down at the martial arts book in the corner of the classroom is also the most unforgettable memory of his youth.

When he chose to be a director, he actually wanted to realize the martial arts fantasy of his youth, and make all the stories in those little books into movies for more people to see.

It's a pity that the martial arts of this world have declined too quickly. The premature impact of superheroes led to the direct death of Chinese martial arts films.

In the eyes of many young people, Superman is much more powerful than those who dance and wield swords.

So Zhao Chengwen's first martial arts film and his last martial arts film pounced without accident.

Since then, he has honestly followed the mainstream, and has also imitated the blockbuster films of the Lighthouse Country and made superhero movies in China. Later, when China called for cultural revival, Zhao Chengwen began to try to shoot costume films.

At this time, Zhao Chengwen has been working for many years, and at first glance, he aimed at the female market in Huaguo, successfully led to a wave of palace fighting scenes, and also made it rare for Huaguo to have a movie with its own theme.

So after so many years, does he still remember martial arts?

Naturally, I remember it, even if I am filming a palace fight scene, I can often see some shadows of martial arts. The popular Xianxia films gave him more opportunities to stuff martial arts elements into his movies, which can be regarded as a solution to the regrets of the year.

However, he also knows who the target group of the movies he directs, so he has always come quietly and does not dare to shoot too many martial arts shots.

And now, a fairy tale film that doesn't seem to emphasize much flirting is in front of him.

Zhao Chengwen looked at Han Lan and recalled the movies he had made before, especially the kung fu movies that have been popular recently, there is basically no emotional drama, and he is fighting at every turn! All kinds of bloody fight scenes can be shot vigorously, just highlight a cool word!

This "Zhu Xian" seems to have some similarities, and I'm afraid that playing scenes is indispensable. It's just that looking at the script, it's not the kind of fist to flesh like kung fu movies, but a variety of blade fighting methods.

In fact, deducting those magic weapons, spells and other illusory settings, isn't this martial arts?

Zhao Chengwen was moved.

In this movie, he seems to be able to carry private goods openly!

"Ahem, I probably see what you mean. Han Lan, how much do you plan to invest in this movie? Zhao Chengwen seemed to ask casually and continued to read the script.

"Our company has evaluated it, and it should be 650 million to complete the shooting."

Zhao Chengwen's action of flipping the script stopped, and he looked up at Han Lan suddenly: "How much?" ”

"650 million."

"Hiss~"

Zhao Chengwen subconsciously covered his chest.

"Director Zhao?" Han Lan was startled, and hurriedly went up to help him, shouting and asking, "Where's the medicine?" What about medicine? ”

Zhao Chengwen pushed him away, and straightened out in one breath: "I don't have a heart attack!" Oh, my God...... Your company now makes movies regardless of the cost, right? ”

Han Lan was relieved to see that he was fine, and said with a smile: "Director Zhao, it's difficult for a clever woman to cook without rice, this movie is almost full of special effects from the beginning to the end, and if you don't have enough money, you will definitely not be able to shoot it well." ”

"By the standards of the special effects of Escape Age?" Zhao Chengwen asked.

"Director Zhao, look at your question, you haven't spent a lot of money on special effects at first glance." Han Lan said with a smile.

"......" Zhao Chengwen.

I'm a special one for making costume films, what kind of special effects do I want?

Han Lan was not angry with him anymore, and explained with a smile: "Director Zhao, when we were filming "Escape Era", our company really didn't have much money, and the special effects shot could only be regarded as above average. And now, the special effects of the movies made by our company must be full, and what the special effects company wants is their best special effects standards! As for the 330 million investment in "Escape Era", it is estimated that it is not enough for this movie to burn special effects. In addition, there are costumes, Director Zhao, you are filming costume films, you should know how expensive good costume costumes are, right? ”

This Zhao Chengwen has to admit that he filmed a court drama at his peak, relying on the fame he has accumulated over the years, and the costumes in it are the best, especially the clothes of the harem concubines of high-ranking officials and nobles, all kinds of hand-embroidery, and in the end, the cost of costumes alone accounts for a quarter of the investment in the whole play.

The costumes of Xianxia films are mainly Taoist robes, and the cost is definitely not as gorgeous as the court drama, and naturally it is not so expensive, but if you really want to pay attention to it, it is also a large expense.

"Han Lan, did you pay for the 650 million investment by Tomahawk Entertainment?" Zhao Chengwen asked again.

"I can only pay it myself, is it possible that Director Zhao wants to help us pay?" Han Lan said mischievously.

Zhao Chengwen smiled and waved his hand: "I mean, Han Lan, your Tomahawk Entertainment makes a movie every time, it's not good." ”

"Not good? I think it's good. Han Lan said with a smile.

Zhao Chengwen shook his head, lowered his voice and said, "Putting aside the words of sharing risks, Han Lan, every time you eat alone, it is easy to cause dissatisfaction among your peers." I believe that with your Tomahawk Entertainment's current achievements, if the movie needs to be invested, there will definitely be many people who are willing to invest, I think you still have to consider it. After all, you need a few more people to eat together. In short, you hold the pot yourself and let others watch you eat, others are easy to be red-eyed, and if your eyes are red, you will smash the pot......"

"They dare!" Han Lan slapped the table and said.

Zhao Chengwen was startled, but he still looked at Han Lan with a smile.

Don't they dare?

In every box office war, the movies that are hacked the most and have the most rhythm are Tomahawk Entertainment's movies.

In fact, Zhao Chengwen will mention this stubble with him today, also because many investors who have cooperated with him hope that he can persuade Tomahawk Entertainment a little.

It's too ugly to eat goodbye!

Although Zhao Chengwen also knew that these people's requests were a bit unreasonable, this was the case. The wealth is moving, every time I watch the Tomahawk Entertainment movie make a lot of money at the box office, who doesn't feel excited?

Especially after trying to make a similar movie by myself, I want to come in and get a piece of the pie.

But Tomahawk Entertainment's every movie does not attract external investment, which makes them very unhappy.

Nowadays, there are basically several investors in movies, even if it is a leader like China Entertainment, it will give a little share to others. It's one thing to share the box office risk, but it's also mainly to avoid being attacked by the masses.

Tomahawk Entertainment naturally knows this, but ...... Still can't get them involved.

"Director Zhao, it is indeed fragrant to eat together when there are more people, but everyone has to work together to make a good pot! You don't know the virtues of those people, and they put money into the movie by themselves, so they stuffed their own people into the crew. If you let them in, how will our movie be made? ”
