Chapter 249: Red Cliff

"Wu Jing, Wu Jing is right! I know you, I really know you. Let me tell you, when I watched the Tai Chi master performing, I still learned how to stir it in the water tank with both hands......" The fat-headed and big-eared coal boss said to Wu Jing with a smile while holding a beautiful woman with a good figure who was about to explode.

Wu Jing had a somewhat flattering smile on his face, and he nodded almost everything the coal boss said.

Actually, Wu Jing found that although this coal boss likes to brag, well, it should be regarded as bragging, anyway, he likes to show off, and in addition, people are relatively easy to talk to.

As long as you compliment him and don't lose his face, this coal boss is really easy to get along with.

Compared with the investors that Wu Jing had based on in the past, this coal boss made Wu Jing feel a little cute.

"Really, I deliberately found someone to learn Tai Chi at that time, don't you believe it? If you don't believe it, I'll give you practice now......" The coal boss said, pushing away the young lady in his arms who was so good that she was holding her, and then she was going to practice Tai Chi.

A fat-headed and big-eared coal boss, even if he learned it at the beginning, what else can be left after so many years?

However, Wu Jing still complimented the other party, saying that although the other party had forgotten some of the moves, the ones he had written down were particularly in place, and the Tai Chi boxing was particularly good.

In short, Wu Jing's words made the coal boss not too happy.

"Thirty million, is thirty million enough? I've heard that the money spent on making movies in Xiangjiang is a lot more than ours. The coal boss was coaxed into happiness and asked.

"Enough is enough, enough is enough." Wu Jing hurriedly said.

Wu Jing is not the kind of person who is particularly shameless, although in order to be able to get investment, he drinks and laughs, and he has to say something nice. But he didn't think about grabbing the coal boss and picking up wool.

If you change to someone who has no discipline, you may be able to brag about it, and then directly ask for an investment of 100 million or 80 million.

"Is that really enough? I know that the salaries of Xiangjiang actors are quite high, Zhou Yanfa, I heard that when he was filming all over the city, he asked for a salary of 40 million. Your 30 million can only ask for three-quarters of a week. ”

"That, I didn't plan to invite Zhou Yanfa, in fact, I think that I am a rookie director after all, so I don't plan to invite those big-name actors. First of all, please invite some actors who are not well-known with enough acting skills and low salaries......"

"Tut-tut, Brother Wu Jing, you are really! It's so real! Let me tell you, over the years, I have also talked to a lot of filmmakers, but they are all fooling me like this, wanting to get as much money as possible from my side to make movies, one by one in front of me, to invite Zhou Yanfa, Zhou Xingxing, and even Li Lianjie, the sexual dragon, and even to invite Hollywood superstars to make movies. Those people really think of me as a fool, and they are hundreds of millions of investments. That's right, I'm rich, my family's coal mine is worth hundreds of billions, and hundreds of millions of dollars in my opinion are just sprinkling water. But that doesn't mean people are playing me for fools, does it? Thirty million, I voted. It's just for Brother Wu Jing, you are real. "What the coal boss said is simply not too open.

"Thank you, thank you. I did it, you feel free. Wu Jing was overjoyed.

"Wait, Brother Wu Jing, although I voted for this movie, I still have a small request." The coal boss said with a smile.

"What is the invitation for you to say directly. If I can do it, I will definitely say yes. ”

"This is my girlfriend Xiaowei, how is it? Pretty! The coal boss introduced Wu Jing to the woman in his arms.

"Beautiful, of course beautiful, my sister-in-law's appearance, even if she goes to the entertainment industry, she is definitely a beauty second to none." Wu Jing gave a thumbs up to the other party.

"Hahaha, Brother Wu Jing, you are so good at talking, since you also said that my girlfriend is so beautiful, then, look, the heroine of your movie, can my girlfriend play it?" The coal boss told his true intentions.

Wu Jing was not surprised at all by this, after all, before he came, Zhang Yuxuan had told Wu Jing about the coal boss's preferences, and he also knew that the coal boss invested in the movie, but in fact, it was more because he wanted to insert his own woman in the movie.

"Yes, of course. To be honest, my sister-in-law is really suitable for acting in movies. However, my movie is an action movie, and there are a lot of fights in it, all kinds of fights, all kinds of beatings and falls, and there are still a lot of such scenes. It would be a shame if I accidentally broke it, or left some marks on my face—"

Hearing Wu Jing say this, the coal boss frowned, and the woman in the coal boss's arms was also frightened. After all, the reason why she can fall in love with such a rich coal boss is because of her beauty, if she was really accidentally scratched her face during filming: "Brother, I don't want to shoot the scene, it won't be good if I really hurt my face." ”

"Okay, good, don't shoot scenes, let's not shoot scenes. Brother Wu Jing, look, your sister-in-law is reluctant to film—"

"No problem, this one is totally fine. I can arrange another role for my sister-in-law, absolutely no drama, and I will never let my sister-in-law get hurt, and I also guarantee that my sister-in-law's role is absolutely indispensable. Boss, do you think that's okay? ”

"Hahaha, Brother Wu Jing is just about righteousness, it's interesting enough!"

When everything was negotiated, the coal boss left with Xiaowei, and the smile on Wu Jing's face was already frozen on his face.

I slapped my face twice and rubbed it again until my face was no longer stiff, and then I was relieved.

Speaking of which, Wu Jing is actually quite backbone, and she is not a sleek person.

However, these years of training have made Wu Jing understand that when necessary, his personality must be changed.

When it's time to ask for someone, you have to lower your posture, otherwise you won't be able to attract investment at all, and you can only be a small supporting role at the bottom for the rest of your life, and you won't be able to get out of the way for a lifetime.

Therefore, Wu Jing could only correct her mentality, try her best to be humble, and finally succeeded in fooling the coal boss, and the investment of 30 million yuan could be regarded as getting it.

This meal of wine, at most, is just some compliments, so that Wu Jing successfully won the investment, it can only be said that this meal is worth drinking.

At the same time, Wu Jing was also grateful to Zhang Yuxuan from the bottom of her heart. If it weren't for Zhang Yuxuan from the middle, he would not have been able to contact the coal boss and would not have been able to get investment at all. Although Zhang Yuxuan, as an intermediary, did not show up this time, he succeeded after all.

To be honest, Wu Jing originally thought that if he couldn't get an investment of 30 million, he would compress it and strive for 20 million to make the movie. At best, it's tight.

Now that the 30 million has arrived, there is no need to have so many scruples when the movie is filmed, and he can let go of his hands and feet to do a good job.

As soon as she thought of this, Wu Jing couldn't help but be happy again.

(It's so uncomfortable to beg someone!) Usually no matter what it looks like, whenever it comes to asking for someone, you have to become a grandson. )

Zhang Yuxuan hung up the phone, and a little smile appeared on his face.

"What? Wu Jing's side succeeded? Li Hao saw Zhang Yuxuan hang up the phone, put a piece of dragon fruit with a toothpick, and put it next to Zhang Yuxuan's mouth.

Zhang Yuxuan opened his mouth and bit off the dragon fruit.

"Well, it's a success, that coal boss, he directly took out 30 million alone, and Wu Jing's film investment has been completely solved." Zhang Yuxuan smiled and nodded.

"Thankfully, it worked! Yu Xuan, in the future, this kind of thing should be done less, and if you can, try not to do it. The investment in a movie, or Wu Jing, a newcomer, as the director, is not a very reliable thing in itself, in case the movie loses money, the investor may implicate you, the middleman. Also, as an intermediary, you meet people on both sides, and you are not there yet? What do you think? Don't you worry that the coal boss won't see you, the middleman, and just pat his ass and leave? When the investor is unhappy, Wu Jing may also complain about you. When the time comes, you won't be human ...... inside and out," Li Hao babbled a lot of truth in Zhang Yuxuan's ear.

To be honest, Li Hao's words are not wrong at all, but Zhang Yuxuan doesn't like to listen to it, so he just goes in his left ear and out of his right ear.

Looking at Zhang Yuxuan's appearance, Li Hao was almost so angry that he rolled his eyes: "Yuxuan! In short, if there are people about film investment in the future, you don't want to mix it, if you want to mix it, you have to leave it to me to deal with. Hear no! ”

"I heard it, I heard it, I heard it." Zhang Yuxuan said impatiently.

"You're still impatient? Do you think I'm willing to deal with this kind of thing? It's not yourself, you, as the intermediary between the two sides, really meet the two sides, what is it if you, the middleman, are not present? ”

"It's not that I don't like to meet people, I don't like to be lively, I don't like to drink!" Zhang Yuxuan muttered.

"Since you don't like it, then don't you mix it up?"

"I don't think Wu Jing is embarrassed, like helping him."

Li Hao is really helpless about Zhang Yuxuan's way of doing things, but she is just helpless, because as Zhang Yuxuan's agent, she naturally knows the reason why Zhang Yuxuan does this, but because of this, she feels helpless, and she even knows that if a similar situation happens in the future, Zhang Yuxuan may still intervene.

So Li Hao only thought that Zhang Yuxuan could remember some of his own words, and before doing this kind of thing in the future, he could think of her as an agent first.

"You want to help him so much, why don't you invest in him yourself? It's only 30 million, and for you, it's just a drop in the bucket. Li Hao said helplessly.

Speaking of Zhang Yuxuan's assets, although most of Zhang Yuxuan's assets are immovable assets such as houses, all of them add up, Zhang Yuxuan's worth has reached the level of ten or even eleven figures. is probably because there are so many assets behind him, so Zhang Yuxuan's many ways of doing things give people the feeling that he is becoming more and more capricious.

"No matter how much money I have, I can't just take it out and waste it." Zhang Yuxuan said very confidently.

"So you pushed Wu Jing to someone else? Don't worry about others losing money? ”

"The coal boss is not worried, what am I worried about?" Zhang Yuxuan said indifferently.

"Forget it, I'm too lazy to talk to you. The New Year is over, and it's almost time for you to get to work. Look, these are the invitations to the script that was handed to you, you see, you want to take that? Of course, if you want to make your own script, I wouldn't object to it. Li Hao said, placing a stack of materials in front of Zhang Yuxuan.

"So much?" Zhang Yuxuan was a little surprised.

"Many? This is still what I have screened, and I have screened out a lot of scripts, which are all selected for quality or good directorial strength. Li Hao shook his head and said.

"Okay, I'll take a good look." Zhang Yuxuan nodded.

Although Li Hao has screened out some of the scripts, the number of remaining scripts is still considerable.

Moreover, because of the screening, Zhang Yuxuan found that the quality of many of the scripts handed to him was quite good.

It's a pity that Zhang Yuxuan doesn't have a doppelganger technique, so there is no way to follow all these scripts, he can only pick the scripts and pick out the scripts that he thinks are good.

"Mei Lanfang? This director is Chen Kaige? After Zhang Yuxuan saw a script, the corners of his eyes were raised.

"Well, that's right, the director of Mei Lanfang's movie is Chen Kaige." Li Hao nodded and said calmly.

"He has filmed Wuji, and someone still invests in him to shoot Mei Lanfang? Aren't you afraid of losing money? Zhang Yuxuan couldn't help but say.

"How could it be that no one invested in him. After all, he is Chen Kaige, not to mention Wuji, a single overlord farewell concubine is enough for him to eat for a lifetime. And Wuji didn't lose much. Although the original movie box office failed to make money back, after the copyright of Wuji Movie was sold, it also returned a mouthful of blood, and then sold discs, as well as other copyrights, all in total, so although Wuji lost money, he actually didn't lose much. In addition, Mei Lanfang's movie is still a drama, don't forget. Chen Kaige's last movie to shoot opera was Farewell My Concubine! The fact that it is a movie with an opera theme alone has made many people waving checks to join. Not to mention, this movie is so well shot that maybe it can be taken out and won an award. Li Hao analyzed it very professionally.

"That's right." Zhang Yuxuan heard Li Hao say this, and was a little abrupt: "But I still don't like Mei Lanfang's play." ”

"The reason why director Chen Kaige handed over the invitation was actually just to invite you to audition, and there were more people who wanted to act in his movies. People just cast a wide net, and they don't really identify you. I don't think it's very likely that you'll ever be interviewed, even if you do attend an interview. Li Hao said calmly.

"Hey, you look down on me like that?" Zhang Yuxuan couldn't help but say.

"I can see that. To play Mei Lanfang, you must first be able to sing, if you want to act, you have to spend time learning how to sing, and then it is not so suitable for you to play Mei Lanfang at your age, and there is also ...... acting skills" Li Hao analyzed from all aspects, and finally came to only one conclusion, that is, even if Zhang Yuxuan works hard to learn singing and audition, the possibility of being eliminated in the end will be very high.

After all, Chen Kaige still pursues the so-called art.

Li Hao's analysis made Zhang Yuxuan a little speechless, and finally simply threw the script aside, after all, he himself is not very optimistic about this movie, well, it should be said that he doesn't like this type of movie very much.

Filming a drama is to learn a skill, this kind of thing, Zhang Yuxuan is not very willing to do. It's so tiring.

And Zhang Yuxuan's time is so precious, and there is not so much time for Zhang Yuxuan to waste.

"Three Kingdoms: Red Cliffs?" Zhang Yuxuan looked at the script that was highlighted by Li Hao.

"It's a very big project. The Three Kingdoms itself is a very popular IP, and then there is that the director of this movie is Wu Baige, who came back from Hollywood. It is said that Han Yanping attaches great importance to this movie, and even one of the leaders is Han Yanping, and countless people are vying to participate in this movie, but the volume of our pick-up culture media is not small, so we have also won some investment in it. Li Hao said with a faint excitement in his eyes.

Zhang Yuxuan looked at Chibi's script, but the figure of Miss Lin Zhiling appeared in his mind, and it was accompanied by a line: "Meng Meng stand up-"

Zhang Yuxuan couldn't help but shudder.

"What's wrong, Yuxuan? You don't want to participate again, do you? This is a movie directed by Wu Baige! Wu Baige is a big director in Hollywood, there are many directors on our side, but there are only a few directors who can get ahead in Hollywood, and Wu Baige is definitely the most brilliant. His abilities are beyond doubt. Li Yu looked at Zhang Yuxuan's appearance, and was worried that Zhang Yuxuan was going to make some moths.

"Wu Baige is so powerful, so why is the movie "Wind Whisperer" not good?" The corners of Zhang Yuxuan's mouth were a little mocking.

"It's normal for horses to stumble and people to stumble. And it's still a foreign war movie, it's normal that Wu Baige is not good at it. Li Hao argued.

This thought, people are full of yearning for foreign countries, thinking that everything in foreign countries is good, like Wu Baige, a big director who also broke into Hollywood, and people in China even praised him to the sky. No, this Chibi, such a big investment, was led by a big guy like Han Yanping, and then countless people flocked to join it, all of whom were obsessed with Wu Baige.

"Wu Baige is good at gunfights, and he can't even shoot gunfight-type war movies, so do you think he can shoot war movies with cold weapons?" Zhang Yuxuan pouted and said.

Li Hao was stunned for a moment.

"The movie led by Han Yanping should be reliable." Li Yu muttered, but Zhang Yuxuan's words disturbed her mood a little.

After all, Wu Baige is really good at shooting gunfight films, such as the true colors of heroes, and Wind Whisperer is a war film, and it is also a war film of the gunfight genre. If the wind whisperer also accounts for the gunfight elements that Wu Baige is good at, then in this Chibi movie, the people in it use cold weapons, cold weapon war movies. Can Wu Baige really shoot well?

"Yuxuan, aren't you optimistic about the Chibi project?" Li Hao couldn't help but ask.

"It's not that I'm not optimistic, after all, Chibi is also a big IP of the Three Kingdoms, even if it is not popular in China, places such as Xiaoriguo are still very obsessed with movies with the theme of the Three Kingdoms, and they shouldn't lose money just by selling various copyrights." Zhang Yuxuan explained.

“…… Don't lose money? It's not a question of not losing money, everyone wants to make money, just not losing money, it's already a loss. Li Yu looked at Zhang Yuxuan speechlessly.

"The director is a person like Wu Baige, so it can only be regarded as this." Zhang Yuxuan shrugged and said: "I think that even if the director is Chen Kexin, he has to consider more than Wu Baige." ”

"What nonsense are you talking about, who is Chen Kexin, who is Wu Baige? Two people are not at the same level at all. Wu Baige's movie lost money, and Chen Kexin was able to go wild? Li Cod couldn't help but shake his head.

"But at least Chen Kexin's vote is still very good, isn't it?"

"But I lost money by voting for the name."

"But it's not the big IP of the Three Kingdoms. The stabbing horse case, almost without any hot theme, if you vote for a big IP like the Three Kingdoms theme, try it. Zhang Yuxuan seemed to be a little more serious.

"Are you so optimistic about Wu Baige? You must know that it is Wu Baige. The true colors of heroes, as well as the Mission Impossible shot in Hollywood, are all very good movies. Li Hao couldn't help but say.

"That was his original work, and now Wu Baige is old! And whether it is the true character of the hero or the mission impossible, it is not a war movie. He is the same as making movies with small scenes, war movies with magnificent scenes, and letting Wu Baige shoot them? Why don't you let Zhang Yimou come? Let Zhang Yimou be the director, the movie will definitely not lose, not only to earn, but also to win awards! Zhang Yuxuan couldn't help but say.

In Zhang Yuxuan's opinion, don't look at Wu Baige's mix in Hollywood, but his ability is really completely incomparable with Zhang Yimou.

Whether it is a literary film, a costume blockbuster, or a war film, Zhang Yimou is definitely stronger than Wu Baige, or even much stronger.

"Zhang Yimou is still busy with the opening ceremony of the Olympic Games, how can he have time to make movies." Li Hao couldn't help but roll his eyes: "Wu Baige has also mixed with Hollywood, and he is also a good director, he has never made a costume war movie before, how do you know that people can't shoot well." Go ahead and try it, maybe the movie is good. Zhou Yu, Zhao Yun, these popular characters, you can try them. And as you said, the movie Three Kingdoms has a very good market abroad, and you can also use the movie Three Kingdoms to try to go abroad. Li Hao persuaded.

Hearing Li Hao say this, Zhang Yuxuan couldn't help but be stunned for a moment, as if, too.

Chibi hit the streets in China, but there was still a lot of movement on the side of Xiaori, and even many people in Xiaoriguo still think that Chibi is a good movie.

Zhang Yuxuan can use this movie to break into the foreign film market.
