Chapter 577: "Ruffian" is ready to start filming!

When Xu Jin was crazy about the announcement, a TV series that had been postponed for a long time was finally about to start filming, that is, "Ruffian Hero" that Xu Jin saw the script there on Treasure Island two years ago and intentionally wanted to shoot!

Speaking of which, this script was recommended by the director who filmed the ultimate series, because the theme of the script is not the same as the idol dramas on the market, and there are more elements mixed, resulting in a huge scene pattern, so it must pass the plot in this aspect.

Otherwise, no matter how huge the pattern is, it will not be able to support the thin plot, and it will only give people a feeling of being anticlimactic.

So in the past two years, in addition to constantly attracting investment and contacting investors, the director of "Ruffian Hero" has also been constantly polishing the script, discussing the direction of the plot with his screenwriter partner, and revising some plots of the script.

I was busy with investment before, and I didn't care much about the script.

But that time I got a promise from Xu Jin, and even Luo Shaocheng, the real estate tycoon behind Xu Jin, expressed great interest, and told him in person that he was willing to invest, but he had to wait, and now he couldn't raise funds so soon.

So the director also put his mind at ease, began to polish the script, and then contacted investors one after another, which was a convenient move, after all, there was no shortage of investment, and he also had a lot of confidence in his heart.

So for nearly two years, the director has focused on how the script and special effects should be made, and where the scene should be set.

The script has been polished very well, and it has been read by several senior screenwriters in the industry, and they all said that it is very exciting, but at the same time, the screenwriter has also raised hidden concerns.

This drama is still an idol drama in essence, although it combines "police station", "gangster", "spy" and other exciting elements, but from the perspective of the two protagonists, it is still inseparable from the handsome link.

The script must also be added to play handsome, otherwise how to quickly seize the market?

It's just such a special idol drama, but it needs such a huge scene, can it be supported in terms of investment?

Would anyone really be willing to invest heavily in an idol drama?

Everyone knows that idol dramas are profitable, and even the public knows that actors shoot idol dramas to make money.

The reason why there is such an idea is because most idol dramas have little investment, they come and go for a few scenes, and they are all hired small fresh meat actors, once they become popular, they can achieve very hot popularity, and their profits can be multiplied several times.

But now such an idol drama, first of all, has been built in the early stage, and it has already come at the level of a "blockbuster", and anyone is really willing to shoot an idol drama at the level of a blockbuster?

When the director heard his friend say this, he also had some doubts, afraid that Luo Shaocheng and Xu Jin were just talking.

Although judging from their reputation in the circle, they should not do anything untrustworthy, but even so, the director was not at ease, so he called Luo Shaocheng and asked if he could shoot?

This drama has been polished for two years, and it has been pressed long enough, Luo Shaocheng thought about it for a while, agreed, and asked him if he wanted some help, it just so happened that he recently met a group of young and talented screenwriters here in Xiangjiang, including some senior screenwriters, but he has experienced the glorious action movie era in Xiangjiang.

The director was overjoyed and said again and again!

The project of "Ruffian Hero" is about to start filming, and Xu Jin was the original leader of this project, so naturally he wants to talk to Xu Jin, and Xu Jin wants to invest money in it, so it has to be said.

However, Luo Shaocheng couldn't get through after calling many times, muttering: "It's strange, I can't get through in the morning, I can't get through in the afternoon, what's the matter, are you so busy?" ”

It turns out that Xu Jin is really busy.

Crazy to catch up with the announcement, I don't even have time to look at my phone.

As soon as you make a announcement, you can close your eyes and rest in the car.

It was only when he was eating at night that he remembered that there was such a thing as a mobile phone, took it out and glanced at it, and saw a few calls from Luo Shaocheng.

Taking advantage of the fact that there was still half an hour before the evening announcement was recorded, Xu Jin dialed back.

Luo Shaocheng was eating, and when he saw Xu Jin's call, he picked it up without saying a word, and teased: "If I can't get through tomorrow, then I have to call your company to ask where you are, don't be missing!" ”

Xu Jin smiled bitterly and sighed: "Brother Luo, it's hard to say!" ”

Luo Shaocheng didn't wait for the expected answer, and couldn't help asking: "Why, listening to your tone, it seems to be very story-telling?" ”

Xu Jin sorted out his emotions and wrote lightly: "It's not a big deal, I just don't plan to renew the contract with the company, so the company has arranged a lot of notices for me." ”

"Ah, this ......" Luo Shaocheng is also a person who runs an entertainment company, although he is not doing his job, he has heard a lot of news in the entertainment industry.

I've heard about the celebrities who are about to leave when this company squeezes them.

How crazy are those companies squeezing stars?

has already made several celebrities faint on the street because of their hard work!

At that time, he stood in the perspective of a businessman and knew that it was understandable for the company to do this, but from a reasonable point of view, he was quite pitiful for those stars who were running around.

From such a point of view, fainting is already counted, and I am most afraid that something will happen to the crazy squeezing during that time.

Xu Jin didn't give Luo Shaocheng much time to ask, and instead asked: "What are you looking for me, hurry up, I will have to run the notice again in the near future." ”

Luo Shaocheng came back to his senses and said: "Do you still remember the drama "Ruffian Hero", you deliberately wanted to invest at the beginning, and recommended it to me, I also thought it was good after reading the script, and added the director to express that I wanted to invest."

Now that nearly two years have passed, the director called me and asked me if I still want to invest, and he kind of wants to start filming. ”

"Two years...... Xu Jin muttered, it's almost there.

He said: "Yes, I am very optimistic about this drama, and I will introduce it to you when I want to invest, as long as the script is polished well, it is very suitable to start filming now." ”

Luo Shaocheng said: "He said that the script has been polished for two years, there should be no problem, right?" By the way, how much are you going to invest? ”

Xu Jin thought about the balance on his current card, there is not much liquid cash, he has used it to invest in real estate in the past few years, and according to the trend of the magic capital's crazy holiday, he has been promoted a lot.

In addition, it is not only this one, but he also has to invest mainly in "33 Days of Broken Love" in the later stage, so he said: "Funds are a little tight, many of my assets are used to invest in real estate, and it will take some time to recover them, if the director is in a hurry, I can only invest five million." "Chinese Library

Xu Jin has some regrets, he is quite optimistic about this drama, and he also wants to occupy more investment rights.

But there are priorities, it is impossible for him to embezzle the funds that should be given to "33 Days of Broken Love" in order to invest in this one, this is the first time he has found a script, and the first time he has used his own team and appeal to open a drama!

Luo Shaocheng groaned: "It's less than I thought, I thought you would invest a little more." ”

Xu Jin smiled: "No way, I have another film I want to invest in, and the big head has to go there." ”

Luo Shaocheng said heartily: "That's okay, I'll fill in the rest, I also like this drama very much, I feel that it can bring me a big surprise." ”

Xu Jin thought of the evaluation he had made with the system tools before, and smiled mysteriously: "Brother Luo, this drama will not disappoint you." ”

Luo Shaocheng groaned slightly, and a flash of inspiration flashed in his mind: "Oh? Did you get any news in advance? ”

Xu Jin smiled and shook his head: "No, it's just that I think this drama is very good, you know, my vision is more poisonous." ”

Luo Shaocheng nodded matter-of-factly: "That's right." ”

He laughed: "Then accept your auspicious words, I hope this drama can bring me a surprise!" ”

As a real estate tycoon, it is easy to get tens of millions, but it is just a matter of a villa with a good location, besides, a big man like him, do you want to be a person who can only raise funds by selling houses?

After hanging up the phone, Xu Jin went to the notice at He Chuan's urging.

"Welcome to the film interview room, the celebrity guest we invited today, I believe you all know, that is - Xu Jin!"

The host is a capable short-haired woman, her hosting atmosphere has always been relatively relaxed, and the questions asked are not sharp, even if there are some sharp questions, after she asks them, she finds that the artist doesn't want to answer, and she will take the initiative to throw out some introductions to help him explain.

If every time he runs to a talk show like this, even if it is 10,000 times for Xu Jin, he will be happy, because the atmosphere is relaxed, it will not consume too much physical strength, and his spirit can be relaxed.

The host said gently: "Xu Jin, how do you feel about "Painted Skin" as your first film? ”

Xu Jin thought about it, "It should be said that there were some surprises, flattered feelings, just thought, hey, someone actually asked me to make a movie, and then thought, wow, I can go to make a movie?" I was very happy at the time, and there were many things I couldn't believe. ”

The hostess was also amused by his attitude, and said with a smile: "Then will you know that as your first movie, you will achieve such high results?" ”

In this year's Spring Festival, the movie "Painted Skin" was unbeatable, crushing all popular movies, and the total box office exceeded 300 million!

And "Painted Skin" claims to have invested 100 million, and they don't know whether there is water in this 100 million, but at least this box office result is impossible to lose money.

Xu Jin smiled: "No actor filming, he won't know whether his drama will be popular in the future, what we can do is that every drama we borrow has a rigorous attitude, strives to do our own things well, and plays a good role, as for things other than filming, it is not for us actors to do the master." ”

The hostess nodded, and suddenly said, "I feel that you have a very good mentality!" ”

Xu Jin looked at her.

The hostess said: "When I knew that you were going to be on the show, I investigated you, you are the kind that became famous quickly, and every film filmed either has a large number of viewers or a good reputation, and there are rumors in the industry that 'the drama you fancy will definitely be popular'."

I thought you would have some pressure in this state, but now it seems that you are quite relaxed. ”

Xu Jin was helpless: "No, it's just your illusion, in fact, I am really under a lot of pressure, and suddenly I have been given so many titles, I only feel that I have suffered a disaster." ”

said so, but his tone was quite relaxed, and he teased: "In the past, there were no dramas to choose, it would be nice to be able to give it to you, but later when I became a little famous, I can pick a scene for me, I basically go to act whatever I want to film, and I really didn't go specifically for this drama to be popular."

Besides, before a drama starts filming, it should be said that before it is released, you never know whether it is really popular or not, everything is uncertain.

I'm just lucky, the scripts I just picked are good, and I don't know if that person wants to harm me and put such a name on me, and now I have to be cautious and cautious when picking dramas, and I am careful to choose, I am afraid that if I pick a bad play, the industry and netizens will scold me for blood. ”

This wave of momentum is driven by Xu Jin behind the scenes, but if it is really on the surface, then he will definitely not recognize this title.

Whoever admits it, who is carrying the burden, there is no way out, only if you don't admit it, you can continue to develop in secret for a long time.

Xu Jin looked at the camera and said very sincerely: "Please let me go, don't put any name on me, this pressure is too great!" Of course, if you have a good script, please consider me, I feel like I'm lucky. ”

"Haha!" The hostess couldn't help but laugh.

She chatted with Xu Jin about the movie for several questions, and when she got to the back, she also interviewed him about what plans he had to do at present.

Xu Jin said: "I think I'm very curious about a lot of things, and I may not be limited to the identity of an actor anymore, and I want to develop it in other aspects." But this doesn't mean that I don't want to be an actor anymore, but to open up a different kind of life.

I have always loved the identity of an actor, and I also hope to challenge some difficult roles and hone my acting skills. ”

At the end of the interview, the hostess and Xu Jin walked out together.

After the interview, the hostess was even more amiable, and asked Xu Jin with a smile if she could hand him a script.

Xu Jin happily agreed: "Of course you can, I have set up a special studio to collect scripts, as long as it is excellent, maybe I will not necessarily act, but I will support the crew."

For example, if you are short of actors, then I will try my best to recommend some actors. ”

The hostess said: "I'm relieved when you say that, this script was actually written by a friend of mine, but I don't know if it's well written, he has always wanted to see you, but he can't keep up with your schedule, since I knew that you would be on the show with me, I asked for it." ”

Xu Jin smiled, "Any script handed to my studio, we have a special person to review, and more than one person will review it, you can go back and tell him, if there is an excellent script in the future, you can still hand it to me, whether it passes or not, there will be a reply." ”

"Okay, I'll talk to him."

Xu Jin took the hostess's script and got into the car.
