Chapter 0304: Impatient Smile
Because he remembered that when he was in school, he was very busy every day, and there was no time to be free at all, especially Teacher Zu Feng's requirements were particularly strict, and it was twice as strict for her.
That's why he can grow up quickly, lay a good foundation, and have today's acting skills.
Well, for the sake of the younger students and the development of the new generation in the entertainment industry.
Xu Hengzhou decided to contribute for free.
Definitely not with any bad intentions.
It's all from the care of seniors.
In the future, when he makes more movies, there is everything this care for, and there is more!
Xu Hengzhou has recently been engaged in a big business of settling accounts.
But in fact, it wasn't mainly him who was calculating, because he didn't understand it himself, so he hired an accounting firm to help him do the math.
How much money can he make from the movie "Scorching Sun"?
The accounting firm sent him to serve the accountant, and told him that it would take about a week to settle it for him.
Xu Hengzhou waited silently, and while waiting, he also made a foolish calculation.
But when it comes to a lot of tax issues, he can only do it across the board and deduct as much as possible, so he thinks that the number he calculates should be much less than the one calculated for him by the accountant.
But even if it's a lot less, it's very satisfying for him!
So when he finally got a more accurate number from the accountant, the whole person was happy.
But this pleasure did not last for ten minutes, and when Wei Xiao called, he was not happy.
As soon as I answered the phone, there were loud words on the other end of the phone:
"Xu Hengzhou! Do you have a hundred million? ”
“……”
Xu Hengzhou took a deep breath and asked him coldly, "What do you want to do?" ”
Wei Xiao replied confidently: "What else can I do?" Make a movie! ”
"I see you're not making a movie, you're robbing money."
In 10 years, movies with an investment of more than 100 million yuan are basically movies that took more than ten years like "October Siege", and no one can guarantee the return of the capital before the release, and they are all mentally prepared to go afloat.
In other words, in this era, it is not that the more you invest, the better, but the more you invest, the more likely it is that you will think that your movie is a bad movie, and you may even think that you are doing something illegal.
Of course, the main reason is that although capital has begun to flow into the film and television industry now, everyone is still in a testing stage, and no one will take so much money to make movies.
Unlike later generations, the investment in a TV series is over 100 million, and the inflation is too strong.
Not to mention movies.
The investment of less than 100 million is a small-budget movie.
Wei Xiao didn't notice that Xu Hengzhou's tone was extremely dangerous, and still asked with a big grin: "Then how much money can you give me?" ”
Xu Hengzhou thought about it for a while, and felt that he couldn't cut the price too hard, and the movie "Scorching Sun" could indeed make him a lot of money......
A few seconds later, he counted: "Fifty million!" ”
Wei Xiao's tone was leisurely: "It's cut in half, it's okay, it's barely enough." ”
After saying that, he immediately hung up the phone.
Then I couldn't help laughing, I didn't expect it, I didn't expect that the first movie he shot in his life would be able to get an investment of 50 million, enough is enough!
Xu Hengzhou: ...... There was a bad feeling.
Was he cheated by this kid who laughed at him!
Although the big movie "Old Boy" needs to be filmed abroad in terms of setting, it is only part of the scene.
I don't think I need so much money, and there aren't many big scenes in their movie.
Funny and suspenseful, mainly in the pondering of the plot.
The more Xu Hengzhou thought about it, the more he felt that something was wrong.
I really want to call back with a phone call immediately and bargain with Wei Xiao again.
But think about it, the money is still here, don't worry about it, and then see the shooting situation before making a follow-up investment.
Thinking so, Liu Yiqian over there had just finished an activity, went home and opened the door and came in, as soon as she opened her mouth, she was:
"Wei Xiao called me just now, saying that he had been in retreat for half a year, and finally wrote a rough script for the old boy, and said that he had written a character specifically for me, I probably listened to it and thought it was not bad, but I was an enemy with you in this movie, and it was still evenly matched, and occasionally won a game."
The corners of Xu Hengzhou's mouth twitched, and he looked at Liu Yiqian, who had a happy look: "Wei Xiao told you how much investment he wants to make this movie?" ”
Liu Yiqian replied naturally: "The initial investment is about 50 million, but I think it may not be enough, after all, I have to go abroad to shoot, and the price there is very high, so I added another 20 million." ”
Xu Hengzhou: He knows!
He opened his mouth to say something, but closed his mouth again in an instant, because Liu Yiqian obviously felt that the 70 million flowers were worth it, and began to talk about how much the female role she was going to play was and how much she wanted to play.
And the point is that Xu Hengzhou listened to it and thought it was good.
Wei Xiao is really good at doing what she likes, and deliberately chose a character setting for Liu Yiqian that allows her to use the martial arts moves she has learned before.
Both Android and Apple are available. 】
Xu Hengzhou knows that although Liu Yiqian doesn't like people to call her fairy sister all the time, and feels that this role seems to have been fixed in her, she actually likes the feeling of filming this role very much.
I like the kind of chivalrous chivalry that hangs Weiya to fight and kill, chic and freehand.
Liu Yiqian herself also has some of this kind of uninhibited and uninhibited heroine in her bones.
However, the movies that have come to her recently are basically literary dramas.
It can even be said that she can't see a little bit of martial arts, which makes Liu Yiqian secretly poke and feel that her acting skills have improved, everyone is optimistic about her ability to act in literary dramas, but also has some itchy skills, and she wants to find a martial arts film to perform.
And the role set by Wei Xiao can be said to be right in the middle.
Isn't Liu Yiqian happy?
But as soon as I am happy, I will invest an additional 20 million, which is not too much.
Well, this goes around again.
Xu Hengzhou hurriedly repeated it a few times in his heart, be more generous, be more generous, you are now a man worth more than 100 million.
We don't care about this little money, we don't care.
No, it's better to care.
Something needs to be done to calm down.
Xu Hengzhou stared at Liu Yiqian's small mouth when he spoke, and kissed him in his heart.
Well, a little calmer.
I'm a little excited!
After Xu Hengzhou calmed down, Liu Yiqian was not calm, blushing and casually finding a topic, and talking to Xu Hengzhou about the scripts she picked recently.
Several of them are highlighted.
Since watching "Scorching Sun" starring Xu Hengzhou, Liu Yiqian suddenly became a little interested, and felt that she should also find a similar film to act, she has never acted in this type of film.
As a result, the direction of selecting the script is biased, and it is specifically selected in the direction of suspense criminal investigation.
But there is a problem with this, that is, many suspense criminal investigation films are from the perspective of the male protagonist, and the female protagonist is in it, either the victim or the vase character.
And most of the heroines in some popular suspense are women in their 30s and above.
Liu Yiqian feels that if she acts in a TV series, she can still do some work on her age, but acting in a movie that pursues a very delicate lens performance, the sense of age is really difficult to perform.
So although she picked a lot of scripts, she felt that these scripts were not good enough and were not suitable for her.
I will take out this script and share it with Xu Hengzhou, so that he can give him some suggestions to see which script may be more suitable for her.
Xu Hengzhou took a closer look at these scripts and found that almost none of them had an impression in his mind, that is to say, he had not seen any of the film and television works filmed by these scripts.
Most likely, it won't be a particularly successful work.
When he reached the last one, he was stunned.
"Fireworks in the Day"?
Isn't this the one starring Liao Fan, which can make him the best actor?
Xu Hengzhou's expression was a little subtle.
He pulled out the script, put it on top, and flipped through it.
Liu Yiqian glanced at the cover, obviously very impressed by this script, and deliberately put this script at the bottom.
"I like this story a lot, but this heroine, I don't think I'm able to play it. And she has a lot of emotional scenes, and it's a little explicit......"
Xu Hengzhou rummaged through his mind, but he didn't find any particularly explicit plots, probably because he watched the deleted version.
Because he flipped through the script, he did see a lot of descriptions of all kinds of confused lives.
No, it shouldn't be described in a lot of words, but a lot.
Especially this script, I don't know who wrote it, and the words are particularly decadent, making people look at the text as if they will fall into a lingering trap that they don't know when.
This is the power of words, but also the power of plot.
At the same time, it also requires the actor to have enough strength to be able to perform this feeling.
Xu Hengzhou actually has the same concerns as Liu Yiqian, and he is also worried that Liu Yiqian will not be able to act.
The roles she has played before are all very pure roles.
Both good and bad are pure.
Even scheming is an upright conspiracy.
And the heroine of "Fireworks in the Day" is obviously the kind of femme fatale, who is soft and weak on the surface, but actually eats people's souls.
It's the kind that sells a man and asks a man to help her count the money.
Xu Hengzhou thought for a while and said: "You can put it first, it's still a little difficult for me to read this script, and it will definitely not be so fast to shoot for a while, and it should be quite difficult to find the right person to play." ”
Liu Yiqian understood: "Do you also think that I can't act, you don't believe in my acting skills?" ”
"Not really." Xu Hengzhou shook his head seriously: "I just think that you are so simple and kind, I'm afraid you can't grasp this kind of vicious role." ”
"Hmph."
Liu Yiqian did feel that she couldn't grasp it, but she felt a pity, so she had specially inquired with the delivery party of this script before, and the other party said that this movie only had a preliminary intention, and it may be filmed in the past year or two, or it may drag on for a longer time, so she does not need to make a decision immediately.
After knowing this information, she thought that in the next year or two, she might be able to take on some more complex roles but not many scenes, exercise herself, and at the same time go to a class to learn how to play similar roles.
Liu Yiqian told Xu Hengzhou about her ideas, and later got Xu Hengzhou's approval with both hands and feet.
"Our family Qianqian is really wise, witty, brave and hardworking, positive, of course, the most important point is to sink the fish and the geese, and close the moon and be ashamed!"
"What are you doing here?!" Liu Yiqian slapped Xu Hengzhou with a pillow, then got up and twisted her waist to go to the kitchen: "I'll make a healthy porridge, let's drink a little together." ”
Xu Hengzhou suddenly had a bitter face, he knew that this was the little reward that Liu Yiqian gave him after he was happy.
But he really can't stand it.
Let him make a final struggle: "Can you not put ginseng and other messy Chinese medicine in the health porridge?" ”
"What a mess, I said it, we have to believe in science, I specially took the medicine from the old Chinese medicine doctor, which can nourish the vitality!"
Xu Hengzhou continued to have a bitter face, and sure enough, he heard Liu Yiqian say again: "And he is not only an old Chinese medicine doctor, but also an old fairy, many people ask him to ask for a hexagram over there, let me tell you, I also went to calculate a hexagram today, saying that the two of us are signed whether it is career or marriage!" ”
Harm, even if this old Chinese medicine doctor is really the kind with a golden signboard, and is recognized by many people inside and outside the circle, he can't understand why a Chinese medicine doctor also has the work of fortune telling?
Is this really reliable?
As soon as he thought about it, he listened to Liu Yiqian again:
"I know you don't believe this, but people have said that this is the placebo effect.
Let's just say that with this sign, can you feel better?
When you're in a good mood, isn't it fragrant to eat, and then you're healthy, and then it's smooth. ”
Placebo effect......
This old Chinese medicine doctor is really scientific.
Xu Hengzhou held his forehead and sighed:
"Bring me a bowl of health porridge, don't have too much, I'm afraid I'll not be replenished."
Liu Yiqian: "Don't worry, I know you're empty." ”
"......" Xu Hengzhou: "Give me two bowls!" ”
"It's okay, I have to make up for it."
“……”
Xu Hengzhou immediately broke away from the state spread out on the sofa, found the dumbbell placed in the center of the living room, and began to exercise.
One, two, three......
I'm a little tired!
He was indeed a bit empty in the movie "33 Days of Broken Love", and Xu Hengzhou felt that he had sacrificed too much for this movie.
I hope the editing of this movie will go smoothly.
Director Teng Huatao has been cutting it for so many days, and it is said that it has not been cut out for three minutes.
It feels like there's still a toss, and I don't know what he wants.
Tired.
The body is more tired.
No, it seems that you have to eat three bowls of healthy porridge later.
Anyway, is that old Chinese medicine reliable, or go and prescribe some other medicine, the kind that works quickly!
