If you want to talk about the hottest Hong Kong film directors after 2,000 years, then Mak Zhaohui and Zhuang Wenqi have to be mentioned.

There is also a saying in the industry that Maizhuang's products must be high-quality.

They are by no means in vain, "Infernal Affairs", "Initial D", "Eavesdropping" series, any one is applauded and popular.

It can be said that in the post-Hong Kong film era, the Maizhuang group carried half the sky of Xiangjiang films.

This time, Zhuang Wenqi shot this "No Two", if it weren't for too many big scenes, which made the investment too high, and because of the sensitive subject matter in the early stage, it took three years to revise and review, he actually didn't worry about finding someone to invest.

Producer Huang Bin persuaded him to change, but he didn't change it, which made him very unhappy.

However, it is not the first time that the two have worked together, and after a deep talk in the end, they have made up their minds to find a producer who really supports them and does not point fingers at them.

Originally, Guangjin Pictures had an idea, and they had cooperated many times before.

But the problem is that they want Zhuang Wenqi to compromise a little more.

Just when Zhuang Wenqi was hesitating whether to give Guangjin a little face, they contacted Lin Dong through Fa Ge's side - a strange investment circle who doesn't care about anything after investing.

Kleist released an animated movie called "Rock Husky", which lost 300 million, and he didn't see him pick up a knife to cut the director.

"If it's a big scene, you can ...... it appropriately"

"No, there's no need to cut it, I hope there will be no less big scenes, otherwise it won't look good." Lin Dong hurriedly stopped him.

A big scene, expensive can cost millions.

Don't compromise with me.

No, you don't!

"In order to be able to pass the ...... better"

"This is not something I consider, Director Zhuang, Mr. Huang, you are actually more professional than me, although I also directed a movie, but it was completed with the support of several seniors, you should understand better than me that a good movie, if you want to achieve a higher degree of completion, you can't compromise anywhere."

said that you were more professional, but in fact, Lin Dong used the example of "Xinshu Mountain" to tell them.

I succeeded because I didn't compromise on the quality of my films.

This is really not a fool, it is precisely because everyone is uncompromising that five versions were cut out in the end.

Seeing that several people were relieved, Lin Dong felt that he needed to say a few more words.

"When I was in school, my teacher told me about the dependence between commercial films and literary films, film is an art, and what can represent this aspect is actually literary films, commercial films can't represent, and my "Xinshu Mountain" can't represent, only by giving film art the core can we fundamentally solve the problem of the survival of the film market......"

I'm used to flickering, and if I fool professionals, I can still make the other party stunned.

Needless to say, Zhuang Wenqi and Huang Bin are the people behind the scenes, who fundamentally affect the production of the movie, for people like Fa Ge and Guo Tianwang, Lin Dong's words are even more demagogic.

They are tools.

It is a tool that serves the director's expressive approach.

Whether a drama is good or not doesn't have much to do with them.

The script is written by the people behind the scenes, and the actors are the result of the wrestling between the casting director, director, screenwriter, producer, etc., and when it comes to filming, it is also the director who is talking about it.

Why in the end, the result of the bad movie must be counted on their heads.

If these behind-the-scenes scenes can really do what Lin Dong said, pay attention to the harmonious coexistence between business and literature and art, and pay attention to the logic and cultural connotation of the plot, they will not be bad movies one after another.

Bad movies, you really can't blame the actors.

If you have to say that the actor is not acting well, then you can completely prevent him from acting.

Except for those bastard actors who say 1234 to the camera, most of the actors actually played their own normal level.

"We try our best, all I can say is that I will do my best." Director Zhuang Wenqi was almost moved.

He felt that he had met the best Bole of his life.

Guangjin Pictures is already very good in the industry, but after using Kleist, who still remembers Guangjin.

"In that case, let's discuss the funds needed for this play." Lin Dong accepted it when he saw it, and he didn't dare to give advice on specific shooting, what if he was really talented and created a hit in one or two sentences.

What if he said a certain sentence and directly made Zhuang Wenqi have an epiphany and directly upgraded to become a commercial film director.

"That's the case, we will save ...... as much as possible" Huang Bin was shocked and took the lead in packing tickets to explain the overall spending style of the crew.

In the early days, Hong Kong film directors went north to enter the mainland and were favored by a group of coal bosses.

met a sand sculpture that was stupid and only thinking about talking to female stars about the script, and those Hong Kong film directors were ruthless, with thousands of dollars for an umbrella and thousands of yuan for a hat, all from that time.

More than ten years have passed, and many capitals still have a very bad impression of Hong Kong film directors.

"Teacher Huang, there is no need for that, the money that should be spent must be spent, especially the people who can't be wronged and really work, I don't like the money-saving way to scavenge from the bottom people." Lin Dong hurriedly dispelled their thoughts.

Their so-called province is not necessarily as he would like to be in the province of filming.

They also don't want to save on their share.

So what to do?

Then reduce the treatment of middle and low-level actors.

It's just so much, a bunch of people in the film and television base are waiting to eat, and if you don't do it, others are willing to do it.

"If you follow the generous algorithm, this movie may cost 300 million." Huang Bin observed Lin Dong's face and saw that there was nothing abnormal about him, so he continued: "If you save a little, two hundred million six or seven is about the same. ”

"Then according to 300 million, how much money has been raised so far?" Lin Dong didn't want to worry about the trivial matter of thirty or twenty million, he just wanted to lose one order now, and get some starting funds back.

"Guangjin has some intentions over there, if Kleist is willing to invest, they can get 100 million." Huang Bin said.

"Yes, it's pretty good, let's give 200 million, accounting for 60% of the share, and the remaining 10% will be handled flexibly by a few people." It means that you should divide it.

After experiencing the battle of Xinshu Mountain, Lin Dong has already realized.

Don't expect to become a fat man in one go, the best way is to bring in some other capital and help him take risks.

Anyway, as long as you lose, even if you lose a little.

Several people breathed a sigh of relief.

Their original plan was to ask for 5%, and the main director had to take at least 5% of the box office share, with Fa Ge and Zhuang Wenqi, 5% is definitely not much.

I didn't expect Mr. Lin to be so generous, and without waiting for them to speak, he directly gave 10%.
