"No, now Yongsheng and Dongyi have a good relationship, after all, Hong Kong is so big, look down and don't look up, on the surface it is harmonious, everyone draws people from each other to make films, as for what is behind it, who can see through it. Liu Zhenwei said to Huo Dongjun.

After Dongyi Film was taken over by Liu Zhenwei, he changed his style, when Huo Dongjun was in the company, he belonged to a typical small workshop model, and he couldn't wait to use Dongyi's own internal resources to start work, but Liu Zhenwei was completely different, he had been the president of Century Film Company before, because of poor connections and communication, and finally left the scene.

To put it bluntly, Liu Zhenwei is more willing to exchange a little benefit for favors, so as not to give people the impression that they are too ugly.

For Liu Zhenwei, Huo Dongjun has nothing to say, the other party has more experience in managing the company than himself, and he is sober-minded, not the kind of person who gets carried away when a movie makes money, "God of Gamblers" is a blockbuster, Liu Zhenwei did not rush to start work when preparing "The Saint of Gambling", but calmly judged the market's tolerance for gambling films before taking out the money to continue filming.

"By the way, Zhang Guorong has always wanted to be a director and make movies...... Huo Dongjun chatted with Liu Zhenwei for a while before remembering that he had seen Zhang Guorong last night.

Liu Zhenwei put down the knife and fork in his hand, took a sip of thick soup with a spoon and drank it, and said: "I know about this, if he is the starring actor, the schedule can be scheduled until next year, and as a director, which company is willing to give him a few millions? Not to mention that the cost of movies is getting higher and higher, and those Taiwanese Yankees have recently increased the salaries of film artists this year by at least 20% compared with last year in order to get the schedules of stars , not only artists, but also famous behind-the-scenes have also increased their prices, now unless a movie uses some second- and third-tier starlets, and behind the scenes are the apprentices and grandchildren of those masters, otherwise it is impossible for a movie to be controlled below three million, Zhang Guorong is a perfect personality, three million is not an actor's salary, I'm afraid even the shooting expenses are not enough, otherwise he has earned one or two million in the past two years, even if the brokerage company draws commissions, the cash in his hand is enough to support, and the reason why he has to get the film company to take out the money to invest is that the money in his hand is not enough。 ”

"You really don't think about him?" Huo Dongjun said as he looked at Liu Zhenwei.

Liu Zhenwei looked at Huo Dongjun's face, put down the spoon, and said with a smile: "Jun Shao, no one can be sure to be optimistic about anyone or not, even if you believe me, did you have a good idea of the box office of "Fierce Ghost Mission" that I filmed? Actually, I like to watch literary movies, but my personal preference is not equal to this market preference, "Autumn Fairy Tale" we barely count it as a literary film, with a box office of more than 25 million, but in fact, this movie is a romance film, and you also know that this movie can win so much box office, Zhang Wanting and Luo Qirui have been sharpening their swords for several years, and invited Rachel Murray from Hollywood to serve as an assistant director to escort, which makes Hong Kong fans refreshed. ”

Liu Zhenwei talked about the movie eloquently, "Autumn Fairy Tale" is the only blockbuster film in recent years that can be close to the literary genre of the movie, but in fact it is still a commercial love movie under the literary feelings, Debao's Pan Disheng and Cen Jianxun are personally named as producers, Zhang Wanting is the director, Luo Qirui is the screenwriter, and the director Rachel Murray invited by Hollywood is the on-site assistant director, and the box office of this film has represented the highest price of literary films.

No matter how famous Zhang Guorong is, he is only a famous singer and actor, and he has no directing experience, Liu Zhenwei said that the meaning of these words is very clear, if Dongyi wants to start filming literary films and enter the award-winning mode, it is better to go to Zhang Wanting.

"He doesn't have a chance at all?" Huo Dongjun asked without giving up.

Liu Zhenwei nodded: "Not only I will say this, most of the bosses of Hong Kong film companies will say this, unless conditions are added, he directs and acts by himself? As long as his name appears on the list of leading actors, he can sell at least six million box office, and only three words of Zhang Guorong appear on the poster starring list, regardless of whether the movie is good or bad, it can sell six million, and overseas film companies are willing to pay to buy it." ”

"If he was willing to direct and act by himself, he wouldn't have waited so long and not been able to get an investment, you also said, that guy has a perfect personality, either as a director or as an actor. Huo Dongjun exhaled and said a little depressedly: "Can I decide this matter privately, and the company will take out five million to make a movie for him? If he loses, it will be deducted from my share of income?"

"Yes. Liu Zhenwei did not hesitate and agreed.

From the time Huo Dongjun opened his mouth to talk about Zhang Guorong's intention to make a movie, Liu Zhenwei was ready to pay for it, Dongyi Company is not short of money on its books now, and the investment of five million is not much, but Liu Zhenwei has always been curious about how Huo Dongjun will convince himself, but he didn't expect Huo Dongjun to finally bow his head and say that he would bear the investment of five million.

"Jun Shao, can I ask a question, is it a crazy star-chasing behavior if you take out the money to let your idol be the director?" asked Liu Zhenwei with a smile.

Huo Dongjun shook his head: "No, Zhang Guorong's spirit is very poor, he is almost not interested in singing now, it is completely regarded as a job, if it goes on like this, it won't take long, once the contract expires, Zhang Guorong is likely to quit the music scene, if you see his recent state, you won't think what I'm saying now is exaggerating, I'll take five million out to make a movie for him now, just make a good fate, it will be very convenient to film in the future." ”

Huo Dongjun only said half of what he said, and he didn't tell Liu Zhenwei that he was going to charter the next concert of Zhang Guorong, I don't know what Liu Zhenwei would think if he knew that he would buy more than 10,000 tickets for Zhang Guorong's concert with more than 4 million.

However, the money for chartering tickets can be spent from the new company, but Zhang Guorong can only pay for the director himself.

"Does that mean the company doesn't have too many restrictions on him? For example, I will hang up a producer and let him play by himself?" Liu Zhenwei said with a smile.

"That's your business, you talk to him then, you nod tonight, I'll call him after dinner?"

Liu Zhenwei shook his head and said to Huo Dongjun: "Or I call him to make him feel more credible, although the company is Jun and you are missing, but after all, I am taking care of it, and he knows it." ”

Huo Dongjun picked up the red wine on the table and touched it with Liu Zhenwei: "Thank you." ”

"You spend your own money, thank me?" Liu Zhenwei couldn't help but laugh when he was amused by Huo Dongjun's tone: "Cheers, Jun Shao." ”
