In the original time and space, Gu Cancan watched "Sword Rain", although he liked it very much, but the plot also had a lot of things he wanted to complain about.

At this time, the original director was in front of her, so she was not welcome.

The first question she asked was the identity of the big boss wheel king.

After listening to Su Zhaobin's explanation, Gu Cancan thought for a while and said, "Well, this explanation can also be said to be acceptable. So the second question, Lu Zhu is so strong, why didn't he kill the Wheel King, but deliberately died in the hands of Drizzle? ”

Su Zhaobin was stuck for a long time, and then he said in a whisper: "This, Lu Zhu has been following the drizzle for several months, and has been secretly observing, in this process, Lu Zhu is emotional about the drizzle, but he is a monk, and the moat in his identity made him go to the extreme, and he sacrificed himself to tell the drizzle the flaws in the four moves of the water sword." ”

Gu Cancan shook her head slightly, not agreeing with this explanation, but she didn't continue to delve into it, but continued: "So is Zhang Renfeng's martial arts strong or weak?" was abused at the beginning, but the martial arts behind were ridiculously strong, not only can he be tough and strong in the face, but he can even fight with the king of the wheel without being weak, does this seem inconsistent? ”

"Zhang Renfeng is the son of the Taishi, Heishi went to Zhang's Mansion to snatch Rama's body, and it was the four masters who shot at the same time to hit him hard, which shows that Zhang Renfeng is still very strong."

"Why can Zhang Renfeng invite Lu Zhu, what is their relationship? I don't think it's clear in the script. ”

"The two are friends, and the movie is limited, so I will pass it off."

Drizzle once killed Zhang Renfeng's entire family, but when Zhang Renfeng met her, he was not hostile at all and married her. And he didn't show it after marriage, but later he wanted to avenge his father's murder all of a sudden, doesn't this seem a little unreasonable? ”

"Zhang Renfeng's weapon was a long sword hidden in the ground, and when he moved into the house, the ground was resurfaced by a drizzle. How did Zhang Renfeng hide his long sword under the ground? Drizzle's martial arts are so high, but why hasn't he been able to find out that Zhang Renfeng knows martial arts? And when Zhang Renfeng dug up the ground, he didn't even find that the floor tiles were made of gold in the drizzle, and he didn't explain this clearly. ”

"Also, Lu Zhu has been pestering Drizzle for months, why didn't he snatch Moro's body from Drizzle?"

"And the master of the Qingcheng faction who snatched Moro's body, why did he suddenly turn against him when he didn't make sure that he was safe?"

"Is Lei Bin's wife an ordinary person or is she also a person in the rivers and lakes?"

After asking a few questions, Su Zhaobin was already sweating on his sideburns, some of these questions he could answer, and some of them even he didn't think so deeply.

Hell, Gu Cancan just read the script for a few hours, how did he know so much about the script?

Su Zhaobin felt that his heart was so congested, saying that good people are stupid and how fast they come, why can't I meet a stupid white sweet investor in the mainland, and at the same time, I can't help but admire Gu Cancan in my heart.

Originally, I thought that Gu Cancan's name as a genius director was just hype, but now it seems that he really lives up to the name of genius.

The conversation was carried out in a not very pleasant atmosphere, and Gu Cancan smiled and said: "Director Su, don't get me wrong, I'm not vetoing your script, I like this book, that's why I'm so picky." ”

After hearing Gu Cancan say this, Su Zhaobin put the heart he mentioned in his stomach, and said with a wry smile: "It seems that my script really has a lot of loopholes. ”

"It's okay, in fact, the story is already very complete, like you just said, the movie is limited in duration, and it is impossible to cover everything. I just like the description of the characters in the script, which is rarely covered in other martial arts films. By the way, Director Su, what is your budget for this movie? Gu Cancan said the key point.

Su Zhaobin's expression also became serious: "I want to shoot most of the scenes in this movie, and the actors invited are all well-known actors, and my estimated investment is about 30 million." ”

"Thirty million." Gu Cancan pondered.

The shooting cost of martial arts films is relatively high, and Zhang Yimou spent 30 million US dollars to shoot "Hero", which is equivalent to nearly 200 million yuan.

Su Zhaobin plans to invest 30 million in filming "Sword Rain Jianghu", which is not low, but not very high.

Gu Cancan said: "Director Su, how much investment do you have left?" ”

When it came to investment, Su Zhaobin's expression became subtle, he was silent for a few seconds, and said: "I raised five million myself, and the others have not yet found investment." ”

Doesn't that mean that he didn't find any investment, Gu Cancan pouted secretly.

In fact, in the original time and space, the movie "Rain of Swords" only received less than 70 million box office after its release, and generally speaking, the box office must be at least three times the investment to not lose money, and it is obvious that "Rain of Swords" lost money.

The original time and space "Rain of Swords" was invested by Pony Galloping, and the losing Pony Galloping almost cut off the road of film investment.

In this time and space, Su Zhaobin may not have been in contact with the pony galloping, and came first to find the bright era, otherwise Su Zhaobin would not have only had an investment of five million, and it is estimated that the five million is still his own savings.

Although "Sword Rain" was a pit in the original time and space, it was more because of the collision with Xu Ke's "Di Renjie" and Zhang Yimou's "The Love of the Hawthorn Tree" on the schedule.

But in fact, the reputation of "Rain of Swords" is quite good, but unfortunately Pony Galloping made a lot of mistakes in publicity and distribution at that time, and changed the positioning of the film three or four times, which made the audience confused what kind of martial arts story this is.

Gu Cancan decided to let Bright Times invest in "Sword Rain", with the experience of the galloping pony, she will not make similar mistakes again, and now she is considering whether to invest independently in Bright Times, or introduce other investors to share the risk.

"Director Su, in my opinion, the details of this story still need to be carved, but I like it very much overall, and I am willing to let the bright times invest." Soon Gu Cancan made a decision.

Su Zhaobin was overjoyed, and his excited hands trembled a little.

From the beginning of writing this script to running into walls everywhere, Su Zhaobin's heart has been anxious to a certain extent, and he once thought that if he couldn't find an investor, this book would be shelved first.

Now that the bright times are willing to invest in this movie, this martial arts dream in his heart, Su Zhaobin is like a dream.

"That's it, Director Su, the investment in this movie is entirely up to our bright era, the director is still Director Su, what do you think?" Gu Cancan said with a smile.

Asking yourself to only direct and no longer invest?

Su Zhaobin's brows furrowed slightly, Gu Cancan wants to invest in this movie alone, is she so optimistic about this movie?

"This, Miss Gu, I want to think about it." Su Zhaobin did not refuse directly, nor did he agree to it, but replied cautiously and carefully considered.

"Okay, Director Su will stay in the capital for a while, we have to discuss the details, whether it is the plot or the way of cooperation." Gu Cancan said with a smile.

So Su Zhaobin lived in the capital first, for the bright era, this is just one of the several film and television dramas they plan to invest in, but for Su Zhaobin, this is all.

While Gu Cancan is paying attention to "Sword Rain", he is also preparing for the formation of the crew of "Heartbreaker".

The artists signed under the banner of Bright Times also began to get busy.

"Step by Step" has begun filming, the main filming locations are in Hengdian and Hangzhou, and most of the artists signed by the bright era have entered the crew of "Step by Step".

The script of the second part of "Love Apartment" is also being polished, and after the first part was released, it caused an uproar on the Internet, becoming the dark horse TV series of the year last year, and several leading actors became famous overnight.

Fortunately, most of them are students, and they have signed an agreement with the bright times, and the situation is quite stable.

Only Zhao Ji, that is, the sister who played Wanyu, was bought out of the contract by a certain company at a high price, and after receiving the 5 million liquidated damages paid by the other party, the bright era happily released the person, the other party has made up his mind, and forcing him to stay is also a hidden danger.

At the beginning of the filming of "Love Apartment", it was planned to make a series, and now everything is developing in an orderly manner, in the next few years, Bright Times plans to release a sequel a year, and before filming has started, there are already many people in the entertainment industry who have taken the initiative to contact them, hoping to make a cameo in it, which is completely incomparable with the coldness of the first part.

If nothing else, it will bring tens of millions of dollars in revenue to the bright era, and it is a veritable cash cow.

……

Su Zhaobin thought about it for two days and accepted the conditions of Bright Times' exclusive investment.

As for his own five million, after negotiations with the bright era, Su Zhaobin invested three million himself, accounting for one-tenth of the total investment.

He has a gut feeling that this "Rain of Swords" may be a big hit at the box office.

"The profit sharing of the film is based on the proportion of investment, and I don't have to ask for more, but the film shooting must be my own decision." Su Zhaobin put forward his own request.

Gu Cancan is also a director himself, and he understands this condition very well, no director wants to be criticized by others when he makes a film.

Think about Lu Chuan, who filmed "Looking for a Gun", although he is the director, but in fact, the whole movie was filmed by the drama bully Jiang Wen, and I heard that Lu Chong was almost depressed......

Far away, Gu Cancan understood Su Zhaobin's thoughts, and had no opinion on this: "It is necessary that you must be in charge of the shooting, but we are in charge of the actors!" ”

The box office of "Sword Rain" in the original time and space is very miserable, to be honest, although "Sword Rain" has such and such bugs, but such a martial arts film that is obviously well-made and has a plot level above the passing line, the box office is so low, which makes many viewers puzzling.

In addition to not choosing the right schedule and being crushed by Di Renjie and Hawthorn Tree, the actor was not selected well is also a very important reason.

The heroine is actually Yang Ziqiong.

It's not that she's not good, the key is that Yang Ziqiong's peak has long passed, and she is obviously old, and she can't get the CP sense between Zeng Jing and Jiang Asheng at all.

There is also the male protagonist Jiang Asheng after changing his face, and the actor Zheng Yusheng is actually the actor of the Bang Country, his appearance and acting skills are indeed no problem, but to be honest, Zheng Yusheng's popularity in China is not high, it is very strange that in a martial arts movie, the male protagonist is actually a Bang Guo, I don't know what Su Zhaobin thought at the beginning.

In the original time and space, when "Sword Rain" was promoted, Yang Ziqiong appeared on a CCTV program, hosted by Ma Dong. When Yang Ziqiong talked about "the husband in the play", she was speechless for a while, and then smiled and said "Oh, I forgot my 'husband's name'".

A couple on the big screen didn't remember each other's names, and the difference in the interaction between the actors and the screen can be seen.

Moreover, Zheng Yusheng is a native of the country of Bangguo, and Yang Ziqiong is a Malaysian.

It's hard to put into words.

Gu Cancan will never allow other Chinese people to be the protagonists of the martial arts movies he invests in, this is a martial arts drama!

Su Zhaobin frowned, and said for a while: "I want to give a few suggestions for actors, I have a friend, Da S, I think she ......"

"No way!" Gu Cancan refused: "Big S's audience popularity is very bad in the mainland, and I don't want to risk such a big investment." ”

Before Da S got married, it was definitely a wonder.

A benchmark for Chinese films - tireless in destroying dramas!

As long as it is a movie in which she participates, there is no doubt that it is a bad movie, whether it is "Ouchi Secret Detective Greyhound" or "Keep Talking", its destructiveness is not weaker than that of Yang Mi , Yang Tianbao and the like in later generations.

At the beginning, when "Rain of Swords" was released, many people directly labeled it as a bad movie, just because there was a big S participating!

Su Zhaobin frowned, not quite understanding why Gu Cancan was so hostile to Big S.

Big S is Su Zhaobin's lucky star.

Su Zhaobin was originally just a screenwriter, and at the beginning he just helped some directors write horror film and television dramas. In 2006, he wrote a low-budget horror film, and few people were willing to participate.

Da S starred in this movie with almost zero pay based on the idea of supporting local movies in Taiwan, and Su Zhaobin said that Zhang Zhen was moved based on this.

From this point of view, Big S is indeed kind to Su Zhaobin.

But this can't be a reason for Gu Cancan to agree with Big S to spoil his project!

"Big S's audience popularity has declined too fast recently, and she has four movies online next year, I don't think she may have time to join."

Gu Cancan said very tactfully, but also resolutely.

"Then what do you always think about the role?"

Although Su Zhaobin was a little dissatisfied, he didn't say anything.

People are investors, and they are also filmmakers, so it is normal for them to have their own considerations for the role.

"The male number one has a wooden personality and can't be too handsome, I think Zhang Zhen is quite suitable for this role."

Considering Su Zhaobin's feelings, Gu Cancan decided to leave the role of the male protagonist to Su Zhaobin's acquaintance Zhang Zhen, one to alleviate Su Zhaobin's dissatisfaction, and the other is that Zhang Zhen is indeed quite suitable for this role.

"What about the heroine drizzle?" Su Zhaobin's face really improved a lot, and he continued to ask.

"Well, the drizzle before plastic surgery, I'll play it." Gu Cancan smiled: "I haven't acted in a martial arts film yet, I want to try playing." ”
