Chapter 239: The Starlight Canon

Wu Jing didn't have any plans, he opened his mouth to three or five million, of course Ding Xiu couldn't give him money, three or five hundred thousand could still be considered.

Wang Baoqiang was so poor that he had no money to lend him.

Huang Bo has a little, but not much, that is, he has eaten crazy stone heat, has a period of commercial performance, and makes a little money.

This money can only be said to make his life better in the next year or two, and he can't buy a house.

Cast a movie? I can't even make a splash.

"Brother Xiu, open the door, I know you're at home!"

The next day, Ding Xiu was boxing in the courtyard, and the gate was slammed.

Zhao Liying on the side asked, "Do you need me to open the door?"

"Go ahead."

Wu Jing came to him, probably he knew what it was, it was nothing more than borrowing money, no, it was better to borrow money, at least he could pay it back.

With Wu Jing's ability, he can pay off millions in two or three years at most.

The problem now is that he wants to find investment, which is different from borrowing money, and if the investment is lost, it is lost, and no one can complain about anyone.

As far as Wu Jing's current state is concerned, Ding Xiu doesn't dare to vote anyway.

"Brother Xiu, I didn't make you sleep, did you?" Holding a box of Moutai in his arms, Wu walked in with a smile.

Just by glancing at it, Ding Xiu knew that it was a good thing from the previous year, but when he thought that this girl was here to ask for money, he couldn't be happy at all.

"Drinking is welcome, and asking for money is not to be discussed."

Wu Jing put the wine on the stone table, sat down by himself, and said with a smile, "Want money? Why am I asking for money, I came here today just to ask you for a drink."

"The box office of Black Fist on the first day is out, 600,000 on the first day, and it is almost catching up with the total box office on Hong Kong Island, isn't it happy, I came to you to drink and celebrate."

The total box office of Black Boxing on Hong Kong Island is more than 600,000, and the mainland side is 600,000 a day, which indirectly shows a problem, the mainland plate is really big.

A castrated version, which Huang Bo called illogical movies can also win so many box offices, which has explained a lot of problems.

As long as the movie isn't too bad, the audience can accept it.

This made Wu Jing even more convinced of his determination to be a director and make movies.

"You haven't put down your kung fu yet, it's amazing." Seeing that Ding Xiu didn't answer, Wu Jing changed the topic: "I haven't practiced for a long time, and I only pick up the gun occasionally."

"I haven't seen you for a while, but your boxing skills have become more exquisite."

Putting away his fists, Ding Xiu took a deep breath, picked up a towel and wiped his sweat: "The fist does not leave the hand, the song does not leave the mouth, if the kung fu thing does not advance, it will retreat, and if you don't practice, it will rust."

He and Wu Jing are different.

Wu Jing may not practice much after leaving the martial arts team, filming all day to make a lot of money, how can he have time to endure hardships.

If you shoot a black fist, you have to come back to find a sparring partner.

Including the kung fu emperor Li Lianjie is the same, when he cooperated with the hero, Li Lianjie's state is not like a person who often practices martial arts.

After fighting all year round, Ding Xiu's acuity is still there, as long as he has time, he has to fight a few times, or find a few masters to make moves.

"Admire and admire, Chuanwu depends on you to carry it forward." Wu Jing smiled and said, "There are a lot of masters on Hong Kong Island, so I have time to introduce you to a few acquaintances."

"Don't introduce the three-legged cat, I'm not interested."

"Don't worry, you must be a master, there are more ancient martial arts sects over there, and there are many small fist types, many of them have actual combat experience, and they won't let you down."

"That's okay, there's a chance to make a trip."

Seeing that Ding Xiu was about to go back to the room, Wu smiled in surprise, coughed, got up and said, "I didn't think about what happened last night, don't be surprised."

Ding Xiu was stunned, he didn't want money, and there was such a good thing, so he could talk.

"Don't mention the past, this wine is good, have a drink."

"Don't move, I'll do it."

Moutai's wine glass was very small, Ding Xiu took a sip, but he didn't taste anything, just as he was about to taste the second glass, Wu was shocked and said:

"Yesterday I was too grassy

Rate, I didn't prepare anything to let you invest, it really shouldn't, I made a story outline overnight after I went back, and I brought it over to show you today."

"Poof!"

"Ahem, ahem!"

Ding Xiu felt that this wine was not fragrant all of a sudden, he was really afraid of something, to say that it was half a joke and half serious to refuse Wu Jing yesterday, but today people came to the door with a story outline, and it was a bit unspeakable to refuse directly.

Look at the story at a glance.

Hurriedly took out the outline of the story, and Wu Jing handed it over: "I have had an idea for this story for a long time, and I think it can be done."

Ding Xiu opened it and looked at it, a young man went to kill a powerful enemy in order to repay the female nurse, and finally the young man saved his lover with his life.

The story is a bit tragic, but it's much better than the previous Black Fist, interspersed with a point-to-point love story, which is okay overall.

How it will be, we have to wait for the script to come out completely.

The outline of the story is less than 2,000 words, Ding Xiu read it in a few minutes, closed the book and asked, "How did you calculate this budget?"

This was a bit big, and Wu scratched his head, not knowing how to answer.

The budget includes actors' fees, framing, equipment, post-production, distribution and publicity, and more.

These are definitely not something that can be done in a day or two, which requires market research, precise calculations by a professional team, and it also depends on whether the actors who need to be invited have schedules, the price of the filming location, etc.

So far, he has a story outline, where can he make so many things.

The corners of Ding Xiu's mouth curled up and said, "In this case, you can get a market research and shooting plan first, and we'll talk later."

Staring at Ding Xiu, Wu was shocked: "Brother Xiu, this is what you said, don't look back, I got it out, you said no."

Ding Xiu pouted: "If you want to say that, then I don't dare to ask for it, you have to vote for the project before it comes out, there is no such statement."

"Ahem, I didn't mean that, forget it, don't say anything, I'll go back and get the plan."

Wu Jing is a resolute person, just do what he says, just get up and take two steps, turn his head and say, "The investment in this drama will not be too high, I will control it within five million."

"I'll come out of the big head, if you want to look at it when you turn around, just help me solve the small head."

Ding Xiu didn't look back, and made an OK gesture.

Wu grinned and left happily.

Ding Xiu said so, he shouldn't lie to him.

In fact, Ding Xiuzhen didn't intend to lie to him, if the investment was less than five million, Wu Jing didn't lie, how could the big head have three million, otherwise what would it be called.

With two million left, pull a few bosses to do it together, and Qin Dynasty Entertainment will make up a little more, and the matter will be done.

In the end, even if it is a loss, the big head is Wu Jing, and there are so many people who bear the rest of the risks together, and he can't lose anywhere, so he doesn't have to pay if he doesn't have to.

……

Wu Jing saw Ding Xiu again half a month later, and this time he got more information, not only the outline, but also the framework and outline, as well as the preliminary selection of actors.

"I'm a director, a part-time male lead, and I also have to find a director who is good at shooting martial arts, and I usually let him share the pressure."

"If you are the second male, if you don't dislike it, Brother Xiu, I'll hand it over to you, let's join forces with the two brothers, and the martial arts film will definitely be good."

"Bao Qiang should be idle next year, I heard that he is also good at martial arts, and Brother Bo, they are all his own family, so we don't have to flow into the fields of outsiders......

Wu Jing's abacus rang out.

This time Black Fist lost, in addition to the logic of the story, the actors' inability to support the box office is also one of the reasons, there are too few big names.

Ding Xiu is famous, popular, and has a good reputation, and with him joining, he should be able to attract more audiences.

Wang Baoqiang doesn't look good-looking, he doesn't have to say anything about his acting skills, he won the Golden Horse Award for Best Newcomer in the first starring movie in his life, and he also won the actor abroad.

He has seen Huang Bo's crazy stones, and his acting skills are excellent, so it's not a pity

Finish.

Of course, there is another reason for using their own people, the price is cheap, they are all their own brothers, so they will not open their mouths.

"You think it's beautiful?" Ding Xiu looked at Wu Jing's plan and said lightly: "Let's not talk about whether I have time, Baoqiang's soldier assault is about to be broadcast, and I don't know what the price will rise, so you may not move at that time."

"Soldier assault? Movie or TV series?"

"TV series, invested by Huayi, big director, big production, strong cast, personally went to the military camp to shoot and shoot, and the publicity is also very strong, if you pay attention to watching entertainment news, you should pay attention."

"If nothing else, Baoqiang is going to be on fire this year."

Wu opened his mouth in shock: "So bite?"

He always thought that Bao Qiang was just a small role, although he won the Golden Horse Award for Best Newcomer, and he also filmed with Liu Dehua and them.

Unexpectedly, he became the leading actor of Huayi, and the new drama will be broadcast soon.

Ding Xiu wants to say that if he guesses correctly, he really can't afford to hire Baoqiang next year.

"What about Huang Bo, he shouldn't be out of action in the second half of the year, right?"

"He's kind to please, as long as you're not afraid of a Qingdao dialect coming out of the movie, please do it."

Wu Jing: "......"

The filming of his movie should be placed on Hong Kong Island, because the actors there are paid cheaply, and generally more than ten or two hundred thousand yuan can hire a good and well-known actor, plus he has been mixed there for a few years, and he also knows a few friends, and he can pull a few into the group with a cheeky face.

Otherwise, a budget of less than 5 million yuan will not be available in the mainland.

Huang Bo is a mainlander, and he is most famous for his dialect, which is indeed too inconsistent if it is put in a Hong Kong film.

"Am I not going to get cold, then?" Wu Jing's face was a little desperate.

In his plan, Ding Xiu, Bao Qiang, Huang Bo, the three of them are a very important part, and now none of them can come, so the actors have to be re-planned, and the budget must be changed.

"You can't make a movie without a few of us?" Ding Xiu squinted his eyes and said mercilessly, "Then you might as well stop shooting."

"It's not like that, it's just a little caught off guard, it's still going to be filmed, I'll think about it again, let's stop here today, and I'll look for you again."

Wu glanced at the flower garden in the courtyard and said, "You have a good flower, I'll pick a few and go back to play."

Ding Xiu didn't move: "Two days ago, I picked a few bunches and went back to the company, and when I came back, I was scolded by Gao Yuanyuan for a long time, and I almost had no food."

Wu smiled and said, "You're picking roses, right?"

"Young and ignorant, alas, don't mention it."

Gao Yuanyuan thought that he had taken it off and gave it to Qin Lan, and almost cried, made trouble, and hanged himself, so much so that he didn't dare to move when he saw these flowers now.

In fact, he did give it to Qin Lan.

"Go out and turn left, there is a flower shop on the second street called Youjian Flower Shop, where to buy if you want, buy a vase and get a membership card, and buy flowers at a 20% discount in the future."

Wu laughed and said, "I understand, but your marketing strategy is good, buy a vase and send flowers, you can figure it out."

A bouquet of flowers is only a few dollars, vases are definitely more expensive than flowers, especially slightly more delicate vases, after buying vases to change flowers regularly, their family directly discounted, this is bound to customers.

Ding Xiubai waved his hand boredly: "I didn't have that interest, it was Gao Yuanyuan who made it."

Jia Jingwen stayed here for a few days and left, and then Gao Yuanyuan began to pour out the flower shop, which was impressive.

These in the yard are samples and are not for sale.

So strictly speaking, Gao Yuanyuan's flower shop is actually a purchase, and what is sold is marketing.

Because of his dislike for the slow arrival of money, Ding Xiu was not interested in this kind of petty shop.

At this time, he went to pick up a commercial performance, and he worked hard for tens of thousands of yuan in half a day, and ran a few more times diligently, hundreds of thousands of dollars a month, which was not faster than opening a flower shop?

"Brother Xiu is so blessed." Wu shook his hand and left with a smile.

Ding Xiu shook his head and sighed, subconsciously touched his waist, the plan of one, three, five, two, four and six was a bit unbearable, and he would rest one day a week.

After a long time, who can withstand this.

"Kids, do you have a lot of question marks?"

"Why do people read comics there?"

"I'm learning to draw and talk to the piano."

"Others are playing games, but I'm leaning against the wall to recite my ABCs"

As soon as Wu Jing left, Ding Xiu's mobile phone rang, and the ringtone was Jay's new song Listen to his mother's words, and the caller ID was Zhao Liying.

"What's the matter?"

"Brother Xiu, come to life, there is an award ceremony that you need to attend this week."

"Where?"

"Beiping, right at the doorstep, half an hour by car."

"The specific content of the event is the Starlight Ceremony organized by Tencent, covering the inventory of songs, movies, television, fashion and other fields, aiming to find, encourage and display the outstanding artists and events of the year, and promote the development of the entertainment industry and the Internet industry."

"This Starlight Ceremony is the first time it has been held, and many artists in the circle will come over at that time, Sister Yang means that I hope you can come over, Tengxun we can't afford to offend, this is also a good opportunity."

After a lot of crackling words, Ding Xiu still didn't understand what this starlight ceremony was for.

"Can you put it simply?"

"Give you an award."

"Isn't that obvious? I see, you can arrange it then."

In addition to playing with masters, Ding Xiu is generally not very interested in things that don't make money, except for awards.

What he lacks most now is trophies.

In Yang Siwei's words, as long as the trophy is in place, the next stage can sprint to the first-line artist rank, a lot of money and an endless male number one.

On the weekend, Ding Xiu put on a suit and combed his hair meticulously to come to the Starlight Ceremony.

Huang Bo, Wang Baoqiang, Fan Binbin, Hu Ge, Liu Tao, Liu Yifei, Su Youpeng, Huang Xiaoming......

"Brother Xiu, here!" Far away, Wang Baoqiang jumped up and waved at Ding Xiu.

Seeing him and Huang Bo, Ding Xiu didn't have hope for this starlight ceremony, and even asked for these two goods, which means that the grade is still not high enough.

This activity has no future, and it will be cold sooner or later......
