Chapter 198 Chen Zenggao's three-person alliance, the film and television companies that came one after another, and the casting of "Three Fools".
Without waiting for Zeng Li to react, Chen Hong continued to mend the knife: "Then do you know?" The last time Yu Yi went to the Wa Kingdom, who were the women who accompanied him? ”
Zeng Li shook his head and said: "I don't know, but it shouldn't be too exaggerated, after all, his fame is not so big, it's only a little bit, and it won't be so powerful to throw a hug." ”
Chen Hongwan smiled: "Then you are wrong, Gao Yuanyuan said that one of them is no worse than herself, so you think about their appearance, I heard, it is still very different from our three appearances.
In addition, one of them is the queen of the Japanese kingdom, and her status in the island country is equivalent to that of the princess in the country, and she is also a singer-songwriter. ”
Zeng Li's heart moved, good guy, it seems that he still underestimated Yu Yi's charm.
Then he said solemnly: "Now he is just mixing in China, and there are already so many people who have made it up, and in the future, if he is internationally famous, he still has this kind of looks, talent, and money, then ......"
Chen Hong nodded and said, "Yes, I haven't made a fortune yet, it's already like this, and I'll have to do it in the future?"
Won't it be those international stars and international celebrities in the future? It's still exotic, if people stick it all the time, will he be able to hold it? Anyway, I don't believe he's in control. ”
Zeng Li said with emotion: "I used to think he was very talented, so I fell into his heart, but I didn't think about this problem, but it has become like this, and it is useless to think about it more.
So what are we going to do after that? What to do? You can't let him stay home all the time, can you? That's not in line with his character, in my cognition, if this matter is not handled well, he will turn against us. ”
Chen Hong nodded and said seriously: "Yes, so, I'm really not here to show off this time, nor am I here to show off my might, I wonder if we can stare at him?"
You also know that the heroine of his movie is now the three of us, plus I am still the producer, so I think the three of us should be able to achieve some results together. ”
Zeng Li pondered for a moment and replied: "Okay, we can supervise Yu Yi so that he doesn't have a chance, besides, isn't he a good learner?" Find something for him to do so that he doesn't have the energy to think about it. ”
Chen Hong nodded and said, "Yes, in addition, his recovery ability is good, then let's leave him some time to do serious things every day, and let him not have the energy to do bad things at other times." ”
Zeng Li didn't know what to think, his pupils shrank, and he said hesitantly: "However, in the end, it was the three of us who were injured." ”
Chen Hong's cheeks were also red, and he snorted and said, "This guy is really speechless, every time, it makes people want to die." ”
Zeng Li nodded and sighed: "Yes, every time he recovers quickly, a few of us are miserable, I still think that my recovery ability is good, but as a result, every time I have no energy to do serious things for several days." ”
Chen Hong's eyes rolled and said, "Why don't we ......?"
Zeng Li also thought of something, couldn't help but shake his head, and muttered: "That's too shameful, the three of us are also a little famous, so it's too shameful to do that, I feel unreasonable to accept the two of you." ”
Chen Hong glanced at Zeng Li and said, "Do you think I'm willing?" Last time, because of Gao Yuanyuan's matter, I was snubbed by Yu Yi for a long time. ”
Zeng Li said with a smile: "You deserve it, you know that the relationship between Yu Yi and Gao Yuanyuan is not simple, and you still do that, you are really looking for guilt." ”
Chen Hong said speechlessly: "This matter is his fault, and the result is to blame on me, I estimate that if it were in that environment when I was at the time, Yu Yi would definitely be reluctant to beat you." ”
As he spoke, his tone became more and more sour.
Zeng Li felt a little happy in her heart, and she also roughly guessed Yu Yi's thoughts.
But he still said: "It's the same, Yu Yi is still fairer in this regard,
Not to mention the rest, because of the concert last year, he divided the money between me and Gao Yuanyuan, and I think you won't be less, right? ”
Chen Hong smiled: "Indeed, I was given 10 million pocket money at that time. ”
Zeng Li pouted and said, "It seems that this man really cares about the family, and I don't know how to deal with each other in the future?" Have you ever wondered what you will do with your children when they are older? Is it public? ”
Chen Hong pondered for a moment and said, "Naturally, it won't, but with my understanding of Yu Yi's character, this person shouldn't be inferior to any of you.
As for later? It seems that we have to hide our marriage, we can't ruin his good future because of family matters, right? That would be more than worth the loss. ”
Zeng Li was silent, and began to think about this matter in his heart, thinking about it, it seemed that he had to do this.
In the end, I had to say helplessly: "It's all about this, then let's talk about this matter to Gao Yuanyuan." ”
Then he began to call Gao Yuanyuan.
After listening to this, Gao Yuanyuan said on the phone: "I know, but can we not quarrel as soon as we meet in the future?"
Everyone is very busy, and there is not so much time and energy to fight around, so there is no point. ”
Zeng Li nodded and said, "Okay, I agree, I'm also very busy with my serious work, especially in the next period of time, I don't want to see you in a bad mood." ”
Chen Hong nodded: "I also agreed, in addition, for the sake of harmony between us, we can exchange experiences in the future, and we must increase the intensity of exercise, we can't be killed by him every time." ”
Several nodded in agreement.
In the end, Gao Yuanyuan proposed: "Zeng Li, don't give him a good face next, lest he be proud, as for the scale?" You should be able to grasp it yourself. ”
Zeng Li said angrily: "I'm not one of those brainless people, how can I agree to forgive him so much?" Let him dry for a while. ”
…………
Yu Yi began to recall the script, this script should be an adaptation written by a writer A San, according to the timeline, the movie was released about 10 years ago, and it should not have been written yet.
In addition, some of the plots should also be moderately changed.
For example, some of these plots that obviously have the characteristics of Ah San, such as Ah San's magical music, dance, motorcycles, etc., are very unsuitable for the style of China.
It seems that you can also fulfill some of your wishes, for example, go to the south of the clouds to take some pictures.
I don't want to be as beautiful as "Sito", but I also want to show the great rivers and mountains of China, and I have to think about the setting here.
But overall, the film was a success, after all, it broke many box office records for Ah San's movies.
There is a reason why this film is successful:
1. Witty and funny.
The plot of the film is compact and tortuous, the style is humorous and funny, and the deep idea of facing the pain of current education has resonated with many students and educators.
A generation of educational, witty, funny, thought-provoking inspirational stories, but also the vivid portrayal of the relationship between the characters, is a perfect interpretation of growing friendship, love, family affection.
2. Crazy comedy.
Although it is a crazy comedy, the director uses humor and satire to explore various social issues, such as suicide, the gap between the rich and the poor, money worship, cramming education, etc.
The film satirizes and criticizes through different plots, while not forgetting to explore the meaning of life, and there is no lack of sincere emotions in addition to endless jokes, with laughter, tears, suspense, and reason.
3. Gorgeous singing and dancing.
Wonderful and gorgeous singing and dancing have always been the characteristics of Bollywood movies, and "Three Fools", as the highest-grossing Bollywood movie, is of course indispensable to this element.
In the play, the hero and heroine re-choreographed various difficult dance postures, which was romantic and made the audience feel that Ah San's dance was not old-fashioned and immutable.
4. Grasp the psychology of the audience.
Ah San's inspirational comedy, following the principle of "small-budget films focus on local audiences", grasps the psychology of Ah San's audience to pay attention to social issues,
In an ingenious and relaxed way, it embodies the thinking of Ah San's cramming education, which not only achieved good box office results in Ah San's homeland, but also got the opportunity to be released in theaters in many countries, including Huaguo.
In these aspects, Yu Yi doesn't plan to change it drastically, just replace the appropriate plot in it with Chinese colors.
Chinese folk dance is not bad, right?
As for the music?
…………
It's not that he didn't think about changing to "Huaguo Partner", which is more suitable for Huaguo.
But this film doesn't seem to have a very high depth, and it still refers to a certain archetypal character, who is just starting to gain momentum, and it hasn't reached the level in the movie.
In the end, after thinking about it, it is better to make this "Three Fools" a little more appropriate.
Then he began to revise the script, revised and revised it for a week, and then submitted the script for review.
Then I printed a copy and handed it to Chen Hong, asking her to contact the venue, mainly because of the school, if there is no accident, it will have to be filmed for at least a month, and the venue must not be sloppy.
After reading it, Chen Hong asked, "Brother Yi'er, are you planning to shoot for real?" ”
Yu Yi was stunned for a moment and asked, "What real shooting?" ”
Chen Hong said with a smile: "Do you plan to use actors or students for the people in the play?" If we talk about using students, we need to communicate in advance. ”
Yu Yi's eyes lit up after hearing this, and then he shook his head and said: "It shouldn't work, if there is no school that allows us to do this, the big school can't look down on us, and we can't look down on the small ones." ”
Chen Hong said meaningfully: "That's not necessarily. ”
Yu Yi thought of something, and hurriedly said: "Don't bother the old man, this kind of thing can't be done, and there is no need to use it." ”
Chen Hong snorted and said, "Brother Yi'er, don't you know your current influence?" You don't need the identity of an old man to do this kind of thing now, I'll talk about it first, and I'll tell you later. ”
Yu Yi nodded and said, "Okay, if it doesn't work, let's find a college or something." ”
Chen Hong said meaningfully: "I think I will be able to give you a surprise at that time." ”
Yu Yi smiled: "Then I'm looking forward to it." ”
Then someone sent one to Mr. Han.
After reading the script, Mr. Han was silent for a long time.
Pull out a cigarette, light it for yourself, and wonder if you want to invest?
Although the investment will not be very high, there are some things that you have to take responsibility for, and if you blame them, it will not be a simple matter.
After thinking about it for a while, I decided to leave this matter to everyone to discuss together, after all, this is not a trivial matter.
Then I contacted several company executives and held a small meeting.
Mr. Han gave everyone a copy of the script.
Then he said: "Let's take a look, Yu Yi's book is good, but, I'm afraid that something will happen, and you can understand the problems when you look at it." ”
After listening to it, everyone was immediately interested, and then picked up the script and read it.
The more they watched, the more surprised they became, they could already think of the plot of this film in their minds, but the problem was really big, and they also understood Mr. Han's hesitation.
Education, no matter how big or small, is tricky to deal with.
After all, how long has it been since universal education was launched? If it is really filmed according to the script, it will be targeted.
Then, the room was filled with smoke.
Mr. Han asked, "What do you think?" ”
The boss was the first to speak: "Mr. Han, the book is good, according to the style of Yu Yi's last film, it's no problem to sell big, but there are also a lot of problems.
If this film is filmed, the problems caused will not be small, we will not invest in this film, and the loss will be millions at most, and two or three imported films will be earned.
As for the in-depth cooperation with Yu Yi? It's not too late to start next time, after all, he will be very satisfied with our sincerity, and there is no need to catch us for a film. ”
One of the vice presidents hesitated for a moment and said, "Boss, in fact, we don't seem to need to worry so much.
After all, the big head is still Yu Yi, and he has to bear it if something happens, so we only lose some investment, not to mention that this film is not so deep, so it won't be messed up by the above, right? ”
Another person also said: "Yes, we are just investors, Yu Yi's film, if it is like "Girlfriend", then wouldn't we regret dying?"
Two or three times the return, or even higher, although there is a risk, but reluctant, I think it's okay to invest. ”
The other shook his head and said, "Let's be steady, there's no need to take such risks, it's a little unacceptable." ”
Mr. Han was silent for a while and said: "According to the income, according to the agreement between us, Yu Yi should pay dividends according to the investment in this film, I heard that he will expand the scale.
As for the risks? If it is really reported, at best, it will attract the attention of the above, and if you want to come to some small reforms, you will still do it.
The bad side, you can't pass the audit directly, if you pass, it's kite flying, there are some things at this point in time, I think I will still pay attention to it,
The worst outcome is nothing more than a waste, but I think it won't be long before we can get back to our capital. ”
The boss pondered for a moment and said: "What you said makes sense, it's all for the sake of the group, but who is responsible for what happened?" Who will take the risk? Haven't thought about this question? ”
After speaking, the sharp eyes looked at everyone, and everyone's heads shrank and their heads lowered.
At this moment, Mr. Han stood up and gritted his teeth and said: "Boss, I am willing to take on this responsibility, the film is good, the content is also positive, we represent Chinese films, Japan, South Korea, Europe and the United States can be filmed, we can also try,
If, if it can be reviewed, then we can invest, risk? Old Man Yu is not an ornament, I think, the final result will not be too bad. ”
After that, the scene was silent, and only a cloud of smoke remained.
In the end, the boss smiled and said, "Okay, since Mr. Han is willing to bear it, then let's vote." ”
On the other hand, the people in the audit department were also very difficult, and finally discussed it and had to hand it over to the above.
Finally, send it to a small yard somewhere.
After reading it, a certain big guy groaned for a moment and said: "Approved, try it, there are some things that can be taken seriously, since the little guy has the courage, we can't hold back." ”
That's it.,Yu Yi's book has been reviewed.。
The person from the audit department earnestly advised: "Director Yu, some people say that some things are only suitable for speaking, don't stand in line, or express your thoughts intuitively. ”
Yu Yi thought for a moment and understood, and solemnly replied: "I understand, I will definitely do it, and I promise not to go out of line." ”
At the same time, many film and television companies with great powers knew that Yu Yi's new script had been reviewed, and they called Mr. Cai one after another to inquire about the news.
The first was Hua Yi, Xiao Wang licked his face and asked: "Mr. Cai, I heard that Director Yu's script has been reviewed, I don't know if you have any thoughts about the male and female protagonists of the movie?" Is there a shortage of investment? We Huayi have a little spare money and want to invest it. ”
Mr. Cai said with a smile: "Mr. Wang, the male and female protagonists of the film are all young people, as for investment, I have to discuss this aspect with Mr. Yu, I am not responsible." ”
Mr. Wang smiled and said, "Okay, then invite Mr. Yu, let's sit down and discuss the investment?" ”
Mr. Cai said with a haha: "Okay, I'll tell Mr. Yu, as for whether to go or not, I can't guarantee it." ”
Mr. Wang said: "Okay, wait for the good news." ”
Then, Mr. Cai received calls from many film and television company bosses, and in the end, he had to push the matter to Yu Yi.
Yu Yi smiled: "It's okay, we can discuss, as for investment?" It's about 10 million, and we can take out a share of 4 million and count it as a dividend. ”
Mr. Cai hesitated for a moment and said, "Mr. Yu, if you do this, how will your dividends be calculated?" You can't always get 10% dividends every time, about 10 million is fine, what if it's more? Is an investment of 100 million still 10%? This is something that needs to be taken seriously. ”
Yu Yi scratched his head and asked, "Then what do you think, how should my salary be calculated?" Director, screenwriter, starring, how to count? By dividends or by that salary? Is the salary considered the status of the king or something else? ”
Mr. Cai said: "If it is according to the salary of the king, then you have to get more than 3 million, and the director's dividend according to Feng Dacang last time is a lot, and I heard that I got a lot in the end, which is really not easy to calculate." ”
Yu Yi spread his hands and said, "Isn't this enough?" My salary is about 4 million when calculated like this, and a movie is only 10 million investment, so do you want to make it? ”
Mr. Cai smiled bitterly: "Then let's follow 10%, as a director, starring, and screenwriter, you get a 10% dividend from 0 salary, how much does the company take out this time?" 5 million or 6 million? ”
Yu Yi said with a smile: "5 million, come according to 50%, the rest according to 1 million, 8% dividends, and the future publicity and distribution will be handed over to China Film, I think they will not make less money in this regard." ”
Mr. Cai hesitated: "Mr. Yu, don't we have a theater?" You don't have to, do you? ”
Yu Yi said meaningfully: "Do we have upstream, midstream, and downstream now?" Isn't it possible to monopolize it? This is Huaguo, do you think it's really good for us to do this? ”
Mr. Cai was shocked, and then asked puzzledly: "Since this is the case, then we don't need to do a theater, right?" Isn't it spent in vain? ”
Yu Yi said with a smile: "What you need, the knife is held in your hand and is not unsheathed, and without a knife, you can't unsheath, are two different things, you have to understand." ”
Mr. Cai said thoughtfully: "I understand. ”
Yu Yi told Mr. Han about the discussion, and Mr. Han was a little reluctant at first, but after thinking about it carefully, the dividends still didn't make much money, so he agreed.
One harmonious afternoon, Yu Yi sat in the main seat of the company's conference room, looked at the others and said, "Everyone, the script has been reviewed, you can take a look at it." ”
After a general glance, there were really a lot of people who came, Mr. Han, Huayi's Xiao Wang, Bona Yu Winter Melon, Zhang Weiping in the new picture, and one I didn't know.
Everyone began to watch Yu Yi's book.
After reading it, many people set off storms in their hearts, good guy, Yu Yi's background is really not simple, this kind of book can be passed.
Yu Yi said: "This time the film invested 10 million, and at present, Shuguang Company has invested 5 million, accounting for 50% of the dividends.
I became a director, starring, and screenwriter, accounting for 10% of the dividends, and the remaining 5 million accounted for 40% of the dividends, you can think about it. ”
After saying this, Xiao Wang immediately said: "Director Yu, is your 10% a bit too much?" ”
Yu Yi tapped his fingers on the table and asked with interest: "Then do you think that according to my identity, how much salary is more appropriate?" 2 million? 3 million? Or 4 million? ”
After hearing this, everyone was dumbfounded, and their hearts suddenly cooled half, this is really not enough.
Xiao Wang said again: "Director Yu, why don't we also follow the share of Shuguang Company?" ”
Yu Yi said with a smile: "Please here, our company is not short of investment." ”
After speaking, he pointed to the door.
Xiao Wang was shocked after hearing this, and wanted to say something, but looking at Yu Yi's Mo Yang, who seemed to be smiling, his heart was bitter.
finally smiled and said, "Then I don't know if the casting has been decided?" ”
Yu Yi smiled: "The male and female protagonists are decided, but the rest, let's take a look." ”
Xiao Wang smiled: "Okay, then you can talk about it, and we will cooperate later." ”
As soon as Xiao Wang left, Mr. Han smiled and said: "Since Mr. Yu is so face-giving, then we will invest 3 million in China Film, accounting for 24% of the dividends." ”
Several others also spoke out, and finally agreed.
Yu B 0 salary, 10% dividend; Shuguang Company, 5 million investment, 50% dividends; China Film 3 million investment, 24% dividends; Bona, Rongxingda several companies, 2 million investment, 16% dividends.
After the discussion, people from several companies recommended their own artists to audition at the same time.
Yu Yi smiled: "A few can try, if it's a suitable role, it's okay to give it to you, but be obedient, if you don't obey, then I'm embarrassed." ”
Yu Donggua patted his chest and said, "That's natural, I promise not to cause trouble to Director Yu." ”
A few days later, the casting of "Three Fools" officially began.
