Chapter 498: Conditions
1 million, or US dollars.
This is Wen Jun's investment to Jiang Wen, obviously, this little money is not enough for Jiang Wen's disaster, and it is almost double it.
Now that Gu Bei intends to invest, Jiang Wen is naturally excited, and he wants to make an epoch-making work with all his strength, proving that he is not only good at acting, but also the best as a director.
Can you still think of the money in your hand?
"Director Gu, what are you ...... Earnest? ”
I'm idle, I'm not at home with my children, and I'm here to tease you?
"Nature is true, how? Take me one. ”
Jiang Wen looked at Gu Bei and took it for granted that Gu Bei was willing to invest because he liked the story of "Animal Fierceness".
"This matter, I really can't answer you alone now, let's be honest with you, I don't plan to play this in the mainland, and the distribution company is looking for Jiahe on the other side of the Xiangjiang River."
This should be Liu Xiaoqing's relationship, her reputation in Xiangjiang is not weaker than that of Emperor Gong, the original "Burning of the Old Summer Palace", as well as "East Palace and West Palace", made her popular in Xiangjiang for a while.
Wen Jun's investment in Jiang Wen may not have been without the idea of investing in Liu Xiaoqing.
"It doesn't matter who the distribution company is, it doesn't matter who the production company is looking for, you probably haven't understood the new regulations issued by radio and television, right? Private film and television companies in the mainland can only invest, not listed, and do not enjoy copyrights, I want to invest in the name of the company, and only enjoy the box office share. ”
Jiang Wen didn't understand too much, but since Gu Bei was willing to pay money, it was naturally a good thing.
"Okay! I went back and discussed with Wen Jun, there are many things in this, I don't quite understand! ”
Jiang Wen was very happy, today I just wanted to be able to fool the film adaptation rights of "Animal Fierce", but I didn't expect to meet a financier.
"Well, can I ask first, how much are you going to invest in me?"
How much?
This really has to be calculated.
According to Jiang Wen's ability to burn money, even if Gu Bei gave him all his net worth, he could still burn a penny.
"I'm just like that Mr. Wenjun, 1 million, dollars!"
Ho!
Jiang Wen was shocked now.
He never thought that Gu Bei would be so rich.
It's good to be rich!
After I went back, the script had to be changed again, and some of the deleted parts were added back.
Although he can't settle accounts, he can spend money, and he has asked someone to help him calculate before, if he only has $1 million in his hand, he can barely use it to make this film.
But if you shoot according to his ideas, you will definitely be stretched thin in the end, if you have Gu Bei's 1 million, you will have much more money on hand.
"No remorse?"
"No remorse!"
Jiang Wen smacked his lips, but unfortunately he couldn't sign the contract directly today, the money hadn't arrived yet, Gu Bei said that he wouldn't regret it, but what if?
No, this has to be settled as soon as possible.
"The other ......"
Gu Bei is willing to pay money and only share the box office, which is definitely impossible, and there must be other conditions.
Since I said it, I just made it clear at one time and saved the trouble in the future.
"I don't ask for much, first, you will help me make a movie in the future."
Belch?
Jiang Wen was stunned for a moment, looked at Gu Bei, and waited to listen to the following.
"It doesn't matter what the subject is, it may be a movie, it may be a TV series, don't worry, I won't let you work for nothing, I will pay you according to the market."
Then no problem.
Although Jiang Wen prefers to be a director, he also likes the job of an actor.
Moreover, he has seen several of Gu Bei's works, although he feels a little pediatric, but it is undeniable that they are all masterpieces.
Especially the "Wulin Gaiden", it is too thoughtful.
He just doesn't have a chance, otherwise, he would also want to shoot a play.
"Okay, I agreed, no matter when, as long as you can use me, don't talk about one play, it's no problem to have a few films!"
"That's not necessary, you just promise me a play!"
How popular ginger will be in the future, everyone who knows a little bit will know.
Gu Bei is already very satisfied with Jiang Wen's film contract, if there are more, when the time comes, maybe the love will run out.
"Another requirement is that when you shoot this drama, you must get one that can be edited and released in the mainland!"
In the previous life, "Sunny Days" was released in the mainland, and it is said that the editing was revised countless times, and the final cut film was fragmented, and many people couldn't understand it.
But even so, the film still managed to build a high box office in the mainland.
Gu Bei said hello to Jiang Wen now, and in the end, in order to release it in the mainland, the province cut out a four-like one.
When Jiang Wen heard this, he also fell into deep thought, of course he understood Gu Bei's request.
It's Wang Shuo's, the script was adapted by Jiang Wen himself, this story involves a lot of sensitive topics of that era, especially the mention of "sex", touching so many minefields at once, it is almost impossible for this movie to be released in the mainland.
Therefore, Jiang Wen just specially reminded Gu Bei that the distribution company he was looking for for this movie was Jiahe in Xiangjiang.
However, if it can be released in the mainland, Jiang Wen certainly hopes to let mainland audiences see his works.
Isn't there such a saying?
Wealth does not return to the hometown, just like a brocade night walk.
What's the point of making a movie, if the old folks can't see it.
And what Gu Bei said was obviously to prepare for the release in the mainland.
It's nothing more than a matter of taking a few more shots.
"Okay, no problem."
Gu Bei saw that Jiang Wen responded, and there was nothing left, so he picked up the cup and drank it all.
"It's so bad!"
Jiang Wen and Jiang Wu brothers also did the same, and after drinking, they were all grinning.
Something like bitter medicine soup, some people actually think it's fragrant?
Of course, everyone's hobbies are different.
Outsiders also say that the bean juice in the capital is like stinky sauerkraut water, but the people in the capital are still not regarded as a delicacy.
"I really can't enjoy this thing, let's go, let's go to the other side, fried noodles."
Jiang Wen also happened to be hungry, and the three of them left the café, just a small cup of coffee, which actually cost 20 yuan, and the other person was 60, and when Jiang Wen paid the money, he felt a little painful.
"Here three of you, please come inside, and the people who run the hall are greeting."
This word is straight and round, and it is no better than the sentence "Welcome".
Four bowls of fried noodles, one bowl for Gu Bei and Jiang Wu, and Jiang Wen has to eat double.
A pass of sighing and purring.
"Director Gu, I'll settle this matter as soon as possible, and I'll tell you nothing, I've almost picked the actors."
"Who is the heroine going to choose?"
"A girl from Guizhou, who came to Beijing for model training, just let me see, I didn't hold a photo today, otherwise I'll let you see, how beautiful it is really not seen, but it definitely has characteristics, and ......"
Jiang Wu said next to him: "It's very tasteful." ”
Burst......
Gu Bei was drinking tea, and when he heard the words, he squirted out directly.
Jiang Wen was embarrassed by his younger brother's words: "What are you talking about, a big girl." ”
"That's not what you said! I haven't seen it again, but I've seen the photos. ”
Okay!
None of these guys have a good thing!
"Don't talk nonsense, anyway, this girl is good, she just has a good character, and her temper is not very good!"
What's more!
Gu Bei really wanted to remind Jiang Wen that after the machine was turned on, be polite to Ning Jing, this girl is a tiger girl, she will scare anyone, and she will not leave any affection.
"Where's the male lead?"
"I didn't find it, but someone recommended it to me, and I was going to win the adaptation rights, so I went to Qingdao to meet it."
Qingdao?
That should be Xia Yu.
Many people say that the movie "Sunny Days" is Jiang Wen's reminiscence of his youth, so when choosing the actor Ma Xiaojun, he has always been looking at his own appearance.
Don't say it, these two people really look alike, they're both monkeys.
After eating the noodles, the servants stayed for a while, mainly because Gu Bei and Jiang Wen chatted about the script.
Gu Bei is a relatively orthodox academic, and when he was in school, he often went to the directing department to take classes, and he also learned a lot.
Later, I joined the work and has been following director Yang Jie, and what I have learned are more traditional techniques.
Relatively speaking, Jiang Wen is a bit wild, but he has a lot of ideas, imaginative, according to later people's evaluation of him, that is, non-linear thinking is extremely active.
But the consequence of this is to burn money.
After filming today, when I went back and lay on the bed, a new idea suddenly popped up, and I directly invalidated all the previous shots, and everything was reversed.
This kind of thing, Jiang Wen has done a lot of it.
"You still have to have a plan, if nothing else, the money is so much, within the budget, you can toss it around, but what about the excess? When the time comes, are you going to reach out to me, or to that Wenjun? ”
Belch......
Jiang Wen didn't think about this at all, his idea was very simple, he was only responsible for filming, and the logistics were handed over to others.
In his previous life, it was because Jiang Wen ignored it and burned money frantically without a plan, which finally scared Wen Jun away.
Later, the telegram sent by the two people was also transmitted to the Internet, one urged the other party to come back quickly, preferably with money, and the other was full of bitterness, saying that he wanted to make money to support his family.
Gu Bei didn't want to be as miserable as Wen Jun and become Jiang Wen's money bag.
"I ...... As much as possible! ”
Seeing this, Gu Bei also knew that it was impossible to make Jiang Wen change from a money-burning expert to a calculating abacus at once, and he didn't talk deeply.
After smoking a cigarette, the three went home.
Jiang Wen was anxious to go to Wen Jun to discuss Gu Bei's investment.
Gu Bei wanted to calculate the money in his hand, what else could he do.
With such a large sum of money in the bank, sooner or later someone will come to the door, so it is better to spend it as soon as possible and turn it into an investment.
Just gave Jiang Wen a million dollars, what other future director is in urgent need of money during this time?
It's a pity that Chen Kaige's "Farewell My Concubine" was almost filmed, otherwise, Gu Bei would have to mix everything he said.
Some people died, but not completely......
