Chapter 184: Investment

"International thief Mike? A very forceful character? Zhang Yuxuan's expression is a little subtle, is this character compelling?

In fact, this role was originally the role that Ning Hao prepared for Andy Lau, but Andy Lau obviously didn't have time to make such a small-budget movie, after all, Andy Lau's salary alone has exceeded the investment of the entire movie.

Andy Lau didn't come, originally Ning Hao wanted to choose an artist under Andy Lau's company, but-

Even if the other party is a third-tier star, but he is from Xiangjiang, the salary is not low, if he joins the crew, the salary of the other party alone will have to catch up with the sum of the salaries of all other actors.

What to do? Let's change people, after all, the crew of "Crazy Stone" is really a poor guy.

At this time, Huang Bo recommended his friend Zhang Yuxuan, and also said that Zhang Yuxuan himself is rich, and if Ning Hao's ability to fool people is strong enough, he may be able to fool Zhang Yuxuan to invest.

So, there is the previous scene.

Li Hao looked at the script and unexpectedly found that the quality of the script was not bad!

It's just that the international thief Mike that Ning Hao said, this role doesn't seem to be very good.

When I first appeared, I felt like I was pretty awesome, but later, it was hard to say again and again, but it seemed to be a more funny character.

But this role, it seems that Zhang Yuxuan is not bad as the first role to step into the film industry - well, Zhang Yuxuan has also made a movie before, Qinghong, it is that movie, that actor Xiaogen, is there any, there is no impact at all, so, it doesn't count, it doesn't count the movies that Zhang Yuxuan has starred in.

"How? This script is good, after Andy Lau saw my script, he took a fancy to it at a glance, knowing that it was a good script, and decided to invest in my movie on the spot. Ning Hao said in a conspicuous tone.

"But Andy Lau's investment money is still not enough for you to finish this movie, so you want to attract investment." Li Hao's tone was flat, and he said without a trace of fluctuation.

“…… That, in fact, I am too self-improving, so the requirements for shooting are a little higher, and if you save some money, the money is still enough. Ning Hao quibbled.

"That's right, we don't have to invest. In fact, we have never made any investment before, and we are very new to this model, so we are not willing to get involved in it easily. Li Hao closed the script and Zhan Zhan said.

"Well, no, that, I still have a lot of pursuit of movies, and I want to keep improving and be able to make better movies. Therefore, if you want to invest, you still need a little more. Ning Hao hurriedly said.

Ning Hao felt bitter and depressed.

He is also poor and has no money, otherwise he is absolutely unwilling to be inferior for a little investment.

In fact, the actors in the crew are also rich, such as Xu Zheng, although Xu Zheng is also a newcomer in the film industry, he has made a lot of hot movies, received a lot of advertisements, and is worth a lot.

It's just that Xu Zheng can star in movies with zero pay, but he won't invest in movies with extra money. After all, he is still very new to movies, and he is still a newcomer.

Ning Hao also listened to Huang Bo say this before, and then he couldn't help but target Zhang Yuxuan.

It's just that he didn't expect Zhang Yuxuan's agent Li Hao to be so difficult.

"Okay, Sister Cod, since I'm here, and Director Ning is like this-well, it's so difficult, I'll vote for it." Zhang Yuxuan waved his hand and said with a smile.

Hearing Zhang Yuxuan say this, Ning Hao's eyes were full of gratitude when he looked at Zhang Yuxuan.

The reason why Zhang Yuxuan invested, on the one hand, was that he would not lose money, and on the other hand, he also wanted to establish a good relationship with Ning Hao, more precisely, Zhang Yuxuan took a fancy to Ning Hao, so he wanted to invest in him.

After all, after Ning Hao, he is also one of the most powerful directors in China, as long as he can catch Ning Hao, he will definitely be able to go far, far in the film circle.

"Director Ning, you name it, as long as it's not too much, I'll vote." Zhang Yuxuan said to Ning Hao in a gentle tone.

"500,000 - no, 300,000, 200,000, 200,000 is enough." Ning Hao said excitedly, but he was worried that the number he said would scare Zhang Yuxuan away, and he didn't wait for Zhang Yuxuan to speak, so he took the initiative to reduce the price.

"Okay, that's 200,000. Director Ning, I should make this friend. Zhang Yuxuan smiled and stretched out his right hand to Ning Hao.

Ning Hao grabbed Zhang Yuxuan's right hand with both hands and shook it vigorously, which was called an excitement: "Okay, we will be friends in the future, no, we are brothers, and you Zhang Yuxuan will be my Ning Hao's brother in the future!" ”

Although it was only 200,000, it was also a very large number for Ning Hao.

In this movie, Andy Lau has a total investment of 3 million, and Ning Hao gave himself a 150,000 director fee, but while filming, he found that the money was not enough, and he had no choice but to fill in the 150,000 director fee he sent to himself, and the money was still not enough.

The 200,000 yuan invested by Zhang Yuxuan is undoubtedly a life-saving elixir for Ning Hao.

As for why Zhang Yuxuan only invested 200,000 instead of 300,000 or 500,000? Nature is also a matter of human nature.

Ning Hao himself pressed the money to 200,000, Zhang Yuxuan had to take out 500,000 at this time, then it would give Ning Hao a kind of Zhang Yuxuan is very rich, 500,000 can be taken out casually, this 500,000 is not a matter for Zhang Yuxuan at all. In this case, Ning Hao's gratitude to Zhang Yuxuan will be more or less discounted.

So Ning Hao lowered it to 200,000 himself, so it would be good to take 200,000. Don't be clever and add more.

Moreover, in terms of investment, the investment in movies is not as good as the investment in demolition houses, and it is really more cost-effective to invest 200,000 yuan in movies. Hmm, if you calculate it this way, Zhang Yuxuan seems to have lost a little?

"Yu Xuan, the role of Mike, I will change it again, make him even better, and increase the role." Ning Hao said very arrogantly.

"Don't, don't, everything works according to your play, and it doesn't matter if you make a little change and don't affect the script, if the quality of the entire script is affected because of the addition of drama, it's not good." Zhang Yuxuan hurriedly persuaded.

"Hey, you're still smart, brother, look at my head, okay, okay, I'll change it slightly, and strive to change the role of Mike for the better without affecting the script." Ning Hao patted his head and said.

Between three words, Zhang Yuxuan and Ning Hao became brothers.

Huang Bo on the side couldn't help but sigh when he saw it, this change was inevitably too fast.

When Huang Bo was in school, he met Ning Hao by chance, and the two of them had a good temper, and they slowly became friends. This time to make a movie, Ning Hao felt that Huang Bo was suitable for a role in his movie, so he invited Huang Bo without saying a word. The relationship between the two is iron.

But the relationship is iron, and it is not iron enough to become brothers.

Looking at the first meeting in front of him - oh, no, it was the second time they met, and they directly called each other brothers, Huang Bo inexplicably felt a little pantothenic acid in his heart.

"Okay, okay, you two don't talk about it, don't be a long brother and a short brother, Yuxuan just flew up to the mountain city, and he hasn't rested yet, let's take a good rest in advance today, let's set up another table at night, take a good drink, and shoot directly tomorrow."

"What Huang Bo said is also right, Brother Yuxuan, you rest first, brother in the evening, I will set up a table and invite you." Ning Hao hurriedly said.

"I'll trouble Brother Ning Hao that night."

After Ning Hao and Huang Bo left, Zhang Yuxuan did feel a little tired, took a shower, and then slept in bed for two hours to rest.

woke up, it was still early, Zhang Yuxuan took out the script again and opened it, this script is not much different from the movie in his memory, there are occasionally some detailed differences, but it should have no effect.

And the role of the international thief Mike, the setting in this script, is a Xiangjiang man from Xiangjiang, and his image and dress are somewhat suitable for Andy Lau.

Obviously, when Ning Hao created this role, he really wrote it according to Andy Lau.

A ruthless international thief who has his own principles, but was pitted by a few thugs, and finally grabbed the jade, but killed his employer.

This character is very serious throughout the whole process, there is no need to have any funny plot at all, this role can be played as a serious drama role, just combine him with other plots, it will form a contrast, the kind that makes people can't help laughing.

Indeed, this is also a very brilliant character.

For this role, Zhang Yuxuan is confident that he can play it well.

In the evening, Ning Hao brought a group of people to pick up Zhang Yuxuan's wind and wash the dust.

In addition to Ning Hao and Huang Bo, there are Xu Zheng, Wang Xun, Guo Tao, Liu Hua and others.

One by one, in the face of Zhang Yuxuan, they were also quite enthusiastic.

Enthusiasm is also right. Who made the entire crew, except for Xu Zheng's fame comparable to Zhang Yuxuan, the rest of the people are either unknown or outdated. Compared with Zhang Yuxuan, it is not a little bit worse.

And the entertainment industry is such a realistic place, Zhang Yuxuan is popular and famous, so he can naturally get the respect of others, so it's just on the surface.

"Come, let's welcome Zhang Yuxuan to join, everyone have a drink."

"Cheers!"

"It's done!"

"!"
