When Chen Shuo started to read the script, he sent a text message to Liu Yifei, so that they didn't have to wait for him.

Tomorrow, I will set off from here and meet her to deal with the integration of the program.

At this time, it was already past twelve o'clock, looking at the attitudes of the two, Chen Shuo knew that he was afraid that there would be a chat tonight.

He called for some late-night snacks and invited the two of them to chat while eating.

This place is expensive, and at any time, as long as the customer wants it, they can get it.

This alone can make many people willing to pay for it.

"What does Director Zhang think of the script?"

Zhang Yimou had already made a decision in his heart, and immediately stopped making excuses, saying: "I agreed, but I only supervised the production of "Sword Rain Jianghu". ”

Andy Lau will calculate the account, and he will naturally calculate it.

To be honest, it's enough for just one producer to get so much of a share.

If it is "Ambush on All Sides", according to this share, he can get 15 million US dollars, a tenfold difference.

As long as he takes this opportunity to open his mouth, he can ask for an extra point in his salary.

What impressed him the most was what Chen Shuo said about the total revenue share of the film.

You know, even American film directors rarely get this share.

Generally, it is a 5%-10% net revenue share, that is, the share after removing the cost of the filmmaker.

If the filmmaker doesn't make money, then the money doesn't have to be shared.

And the share given by Chen Shuo, the total income of the filmmaker, even if it is on credit, must be given.

For example, if the box office is only 10 million, the film can get 40%, that is, 4 million.

Even if the pants paid by the filmmaker are gone, the four million will be divided into 400,000 for him.

Of course, the most important thing is the script of "Sword Rain Rivers and Lakes", which is in line with his heart.

Like "Twin Thieves", no matter how much money is given to him, he doesn't want to touch it.

He still has artistic pursuits.

Chen Shuoxi said: "Since this is the case, then our company will shoot "Sword Rain Jianghu".

If Director Zhang is not in a hurry to return to the crew, I will directly ask someone to draw up the contract tomorrow, and we will sign the contract directly, and then pay one-third of the salary first.

If we fail to produce this drama as scheduled, one-third of the salary in advance will be regarded as compensation for Director Zhang.

Of course, I think Director Zhang and we value not only the more than one million yuan, but also the desire to make a good work. ”

Zhang Yimou shook his head and smiled: "Don't say it, this million is not a small amount for me."

Don't look at me when I was filming, I gave you millions, tens of millions, but the money was not mine, but the investor. ”

Chen Shuo waved his hand and said, "This is not simple, if Director Zhang is short of money, tell me directly." ”

Zhang Yimou joked when he heard this: "Okay, when the time comes, I'll come to you directly, hahaha......"

Chen Shuo and Andy Lau also laughed, and they didn't believe that Zhang Yimou would be down.

With his status and fame, there may be a moment of embarrassment, but he is really not so depressed that he is short of money.

Chen Shuo did not mention the matter of Zhang Weiping and Star Picture Investment now, but planned to wait until he signed a contract with Zhang Yimou.

"Brother Hua, what do you think?" After solving Zhang Yimou's matter, he hit the idea on Andy Lau again.

Andy Lau picked up the script of "Twin Thieves" and said: "Since you don't plan to make this play, how about giving it to me?"

Then, I also invested 2 million in "Sword Rain". ”

For Zhang Yimou, with the 10% share given by Chen Shuo, it was enough for him to give it a try.

However, it is precisely because Chen Shuo gave Zhang Yimou such high conditions that Andy Lau is not interested in "Sword Rain Jianghu".

Because if you really want to take this play, the final income may not be as high as his salary.

This "Gemini Thief" is different, although he doesn't plan to star in it, but if he takes the lead in finding someone to invest in the production, he can bring a lot of money to his company.

Of course, he did not give up his intention to invest in "Sword Rain".

With Zhang Yimou here, the investment of 2 million will not be wasted at least.

Chen Shuo nodded and said: "It's easy to talk about investment, and this script can also be given to Brother Hua, but how to make the specific concession, how about Brother Hua send someone to discuss it later?"

The main reason is that Master Jiang Daohai attaches great importance to this script, and we need to ask for his opinion. ”

Andy Lau looked at the signature on the script and found that Jiang Daohai's name was indeed there, so his eyes couldn't help but light up, and said: "Since this is the case, then I will add another condition, how about inviting Master Jiang to be the action director?" ”

"That's naturally the best, when the time comes, Brother Hua can let people discuss with Master Jiang."

After deciding where the two scripts would go, Chen Shuo and the three of them relaxed, ate supper, and chatted about the scripts.

After three o'clock, I took a short break.

Early the next morning, Chen Shuo called the company and asked someone to bring the prepared contract.

The conditions allowed to Zhang Yimou were naturally agreed with Jiang Xuerou and Zhou Ping in advance.

It's just to take this opportunity to let Chen Shuo mention it to Zhang Yimou.

After the contract was brought, Zhang Yimou also looked at a lawyer and then began to negotiate the terms.

In fact, this contract is very simple, and after specifying the responsibilities and rights of both parties, there are not too many differences.

Soon, Zhang Yimou signed the contract, and Chen Shuo also signed and sealed it in the name of the company.

The matter was done in a hurry, but the result was quite satisfactory to both parties.

Chen Shuo and Zhang Yimou shook hands and said, "Director Zhang, let's cooperate happily again in the future." ”

"Happy working together!" Zhang Yimou shook his hand slightly.

The two of them decided on their side, and the rest of Chen Shuo was handed over to the company's professionals to deal with.

is like calming Zhang Weiping's anger, talking about investment, and then starting to form a crew and find other people to attract investment.

also talked to Andy Lau about the script of "Twin Thieves", etc., Chen Shuo no longer asked too much.

After handing over the Qinghai Provincial Choir to He Zhengyang, and introducing the dance troupe of Yunnan Province to Wang Yabin with Liu Yifei, she and Liu Xiaoli helped the dance troupe rearrange the dance.

I put half of my energy on practice and half on the final performance.

Of course, after the premiere, two days later, "No Thieves in the World" was officially released.

This time, only Chen Shuo and Andy Lau went to the premiere together, while Liu Yifei and Liu Xiaoli, Shu Hui, Chen Rui and others went to the audience to watch.

The tickets from Feng Xiaogang don't cost money.

At the beginning of the story, the thief woman played by Liu Ruoying is teaching Fu Biao, who plays a big money, English, and Xu Fan appears as Fu Biao's wife.

Dressed in a red tight-fitting short-sleeved and a short black skirt, she set off Xu Fanjiao's good figure, which made the audience pay attention to her.

And Liu Ruoying, who is dressed in white professional clothes, also likes her gentle tone and seductive eyes when teaching English.

The audience was instantly attracted to attention.

Sure enough, big directors are all good at filming women.

Know how to catch people's eyes in the first place.

Later, Liu Ruoying and Andy Lau teamed up with the immortals to dance Fu Biao's plot, which quickly let the audience understand the identities of the two protagonists.

On the way to the west, Liu Ruoying's morning sickness reaction also left people with a suspense, where the two thieves should go.

A light shines on the town in the distance, and as soon as the picture turns, another light spreads out from the car window behind the two, indicating that the two are about to embark on the road to redemption.

Later, Liu Ruoying's devout worship of the Buddha and Andy Lau's picture of stealing in the crowd are constantly intertwined, which makes people feel a trace of irony.

Compared with other audiences, Chen Shuo pays more attention to his own role.

There was no role for him in front of him, and it wasn't until the film advanced for half an hour that it was Chen Shuo's turn to appear.

That is, the scene where he interviewed and filmed in Gan Province for the first time.

"Finally waited for Chen Shuo." Liu Yifei looked at Chen Shuo with black-framed glasses and a red hat on the screen, and said happily.

Chen Rui asked, "Didn't you say that you would add drama?" Why is my brother's role still so small? ”

Shu Yan explained: "With the addition of drama, he is also a supporting role, or a supporting role smaller than Ge You.

Didn't you see Ge You's role not much more than Chen Shuo? ”

"yes." Chen Rui nodded.

With the words of Ge You: "What is the most important thing in the twenty-first century?" Talent! ”

In order to steal Wang Baoqiang's money, the four eyes played by Chen Shuo started the first battle with Andy Lau.

Although there is no action of opening and closing, in the narrow workshop aisle, Chen Shuo and Andy Lau fight between square inches with two blades and superb skills.

makes this scene particularly tense and exciting.

Especially the part where Chen Shuo shoots is basically a panorama, and the camera is facing him, clearly revealing his technique.

Andy Lau, on the other hand, appears more in fragmentary shots and backs.

After all, there is no difficulty for Chen Shuo for these actions, but Andy Lau's role is basically replaced by Jiang Daohai.

Moreover, under Feng Xiaogang's editing, the two people with the atmosphere are evenly matched.

In the end, Chen Shuo was accidentally knocked off the blade in his hand by Andy Lau, and his eyes changed when he was about to shoot again when the conductor came, interrupting Chen Shuo's movements.

made him look at Andy Lau unwillingly, and had to hook up with him, pretending to be a friend.

Everyone who watched this scene was thrilled and amazed, after all, although most of them had the experience of being stolen, it was the first time they saw it, and it turned out that the battle between thieves and thieves was like this.

However, Andy Lau is the protagonist after all, and Ge You is also the biggest selling point of this drama.

Later, Andy Lau peeled eggs with a glass, and Ge You peeled raw eggs with his bare hands, which caused a burst of exclamations in the theater.

Although Chen Shuo is able to take these two samples, under the lens editing, it seems that these two techniques are even more magical.

Two hours passed quickly, and the scene of Liu Ruoying bowing piously in front of the temple again and several women next to her wrapped up a baby abandoned at the entrance of the temple staggered to an end.

also left the audience with a trace of melancholy.
