During the Three Kingdoms period, all over the country, warlords from all walks of life fought like hot kilns.

In the past 60 years, more than 42 million people have died, otherwise where would the Wuhu chaos come from in China, Wu Yusen actually talked about peace with Zhang Chu at this time.

The idea of these famous directors is really ...... Fantastic.

Seeing that he couldn't impress Zhang Chu with the core of the story of Chibi, Wu Yusen then chatted with Zhang Chu about his ideas about the war scene.

After listening to Wu Yusen, Zhang Chu understood why he had hidden this idea for so many years, but he had not been able to put it into action.

It's really a lot of money.

According to Wu Yusen's vision, this movie will not be completed without 5 to 6 billion funds.

With such a high investment, how much box office do you have to recover to ensure that you don't lose money?

In the context of the mainland film market, it is basically impossible to recover costs.

In this case, you can only rely on the ticket warehouse in other cities.

Movies with historical themes like this may not be of interest to European and American audiences.

The only ones who can be counted on are Dongying and Goryeo, which both belong to the Greater China civilization circle.

Especially Dongying, Xiao Ri has always been very interested in film and television dramas with the theme of the Three Kingdoms.

Maybe you can look forward to it.

Wait a minute!

Zhang Chu suddenly thought of something.

"Director Wu, can I ask, is there a source of funding for this movie?"

Wu Yusen didn't expect Zhang Chu to suddenly ask this, hesitated for a moment and said: "At present, there are two main funds that have been determined, namely China Film Group and Dongying's Ai Hui Group, but I am still talking about other cooperation intentions, such as Orange Sky Entertainment in the mainland, and Huayi Brothers." ”

The rest of Bona, Wu Yusen simply didn't mention it, and the other party had clearly rejected him.

The reason is that with such a large investment amount, the other party is worried that the cost will not be recovered.

China Film participated in the investment, Zhang Chu is not surprised, Han Sanye has always had a blockbuster plan, and the "No Thieves in the World" he participated in before was Han Sanye's test of the waters.

The result is quite ideal, the mainland box office is 220 million, and the foreign port gets 110 million US dollars, although it did not succeed in landing in the North American market in the end, but the investment of 35 million can harvest more than 100 million US dollars at the box office, which is definitely a big profit.

This time, Han Sanye put the bet on Wu Yusen, the famous director.

As for Orange Sky Entertainment's participation in it, I think Wu Kebo has no small ambitions after getting Wang Jinghua to join!

It is equally reasonable that PropNex would refuse.

From the perspective of investors, making movies is to make money, and it is obvious that they lose money, even if it is a famous director and an all-star lineup, no one will end up stupid.

Unless......

Zhang Chu understood why Wu Yusen was willing to condescend to invite him.

In today's Chinese film industry, there are only a few actors with box office appeal.

A week's journey to Xiangjiang, and then there is Zhang Chu in the mainland.

Zhou Xingchi is no longer accepting other directors' plays, and Cheng Long's image is really not suitable for costume dramas.

The only actor who can ensure that he can pull the box office is Zhang Chu.

Moreover, Zhang Chu's box office appeal, for now, is obviously more than once a week.

"Mr. Zhang, do you have any questions?"

Although Wu Yusen tried his best to make his tone appear calm, Zhang Chu could still hear a trace of eagerness in it.

There is no way, Zhang Chu is the most critical part of Wu Yusen's plan.

Whether Zhang Chu can join or not directly determines how much money China Film Group can come up with.

Moreover, since he officially began to prepare for this play, Zhang Chu is the best choice for the actor Zhou Yu in his mind.

When writing the script, he linked all the big scenes with Zhou Yu.

and also deliberately designed several wonderful fight scenes.

You must know that whether it is in history or in romance, Zhou Yu's image has always been a Confucian general.

Personally go out and fight bloodily, this is what only martial artists do.

"There is another question, Dongying's Ai Hui Group, are there any additional conditions for them to invest in this drama, such as ...... Arrange Dongying actors to play roles. ”

After Zhang Chu finished speaking, looking at Wu Yusen's reaction, he knew that he had guessed correctly.

When filming "The Condor Heroes" before, Zhang Chu had heard Zhang Jizhong say.

When CCTV wanted to film "Romance of the Three Kingdoms", it was still in the preparatory stage, and some Dongying people came to the door, saying that they could bear all the investment, and there was only one condition, that is, Cao Cao in the play must have Dongying actors to play.

In the face of the huge temptation, the leaders of CCTV finally refused, and let a Dongying person play Cao Cao, I am afraid that no one in the whole country can accept it.

"They did make that request."

Wu Yusen knew that this matter could not be hidden, and he could not hide it at all.

"Which role? Cao Cao? ”

I guessed too accurately.

Wu Yusen smiled awkwardly: "That's right, but I'm still thinking about this matter." ”

Listening to Zhang Chu's tone, he knew that he definitely couldn't accept it, so Wu Yusen simply vaguely passed.

Zhang Chu nodded when he heard this, then picked up the cigarette case on the table and took out one, and Zhu Yawen hurriedly helped him light it.

"Director Wu! I can take over this play, but I also have a request, the main role of this play must not have Dongying people. ”

The hero of the Three Kingdoms, let a Dongying person play it, what's going on!

Wu Yusen listened, just thought about it for a while, and then nodded and agreed: "Okay, I agreed to this request." ”

Being able to invite Zhang Chu, Wu Yusen finally breathed a sigh of relief.

Since "The True Color of Heroes", he has never taken the initiative to hire an actor to star in his own movie.

Today can be regarded as an exception for Zhang Chu.

Fan Bingbing on the side was constantly giving Zhang Chu a look at the moment, but Zhang Chu didn't seem to see it, which made her feel depressed.

After sending Wu Yusen away, before Fan Bingbing could make a move, Xiao Ma couldn't help but ask.

"Brother! You mentioned the funding just now, why don't you ......?"

"What? Take the initiative to mention that our studio can also participate? ”

"That's right! If our studio were involved in such a big production......"

"It's good to be able to save your capital, you're still thinking about making a fortune!"

The pony was stunned.

Money?

How could it be!

With a famous director in charge and an all-star lineup, how can such a movie lose money.

Seeing Xiaoma's puzzled look, Zhang Chu said: "You didn't ask, what is Wu Yusen's budget for this play?" ”

As a human being in two lives, Zhang Chu's consistent purpose is that he can't do money-losing business.

That's right, participating in the investment in this drama will definitely make Orange Studios famous in the industry.

But fame alone has no profit, and that is what a fool would do.

"According to Wu Yusen, this drama can't be won without five or six hundred million, how much box office do you think it will take to return to the cost?"

When the pony heard this, he really counted it, and after getting the result, he couldn't help but be stunned.

"I'm afraid...... You can't get back without 10 billion! ”

When this number is spoken, the pony is also startled.

10 billion!

No movie in China has ever had such a high box office.

"Brother, five or six hundred million...... Impossible! ”

Investing five or six billion just to make a movie is too exaggerated.

"I'm still talking about it with my arms in my arms! Don't think about it, if it is the main investment of our studio, I can recognize it for the sake of the name, but this is a project of China Film Group, do you think our small studio can hold down China Film Group. ”

This is even more unlikely.

China Film Group is the leader of the Chinese film industry, and people hold batch numbers in their hands.

The pony now understands that the matter of making money, taking a hitchhike to make a fortune, is naturally no problem, but it is better to thank Bumin for losing money and making money.

"You go and talk to the other party about the contract, as long as it meets my worth."

Zhang Chu's current value is definitely the NO.1 in the Chinese film industry, a dazzling report card, the golden statue actor, the Golden Horse actor, and the golden globe actor.

It's not just about personal interests, it's also about face.

After Zhang Chu finished explaining, the pony left.

After sending the pony, Zhang Chu had to face Fan Bingbing next.

"Why didn't you just speak for me?"

Fan Bingbing felt a little aggrieved in her heart, she didn't attach much importance to participating in Wu Yusen's works, what made her feel aggrieved was that Zhang Chu could help Tang Wei get the heroine of "No Thieves in the World", and she could take Zhang Jingchu to Hollywood, but she was unwilling to help her say a word.

This made her feel that her weight in Zhang Chu's heart was obviously not comparable to Tang Wei and Zhang Jingchu.

"I said it!"

Belch?

When Fan Bingbing heard this, he carefully recalled every detail of Fang Cai, but he couldn't remember when Zhang Chu helped her speak.

"How I don't remember!"

Zhang Chu smiled: "Just met, how did I introduce you to Wu Yusen?" ”

Fan Bingbing was stunned, and the unhappiness in his heart suddenly decreased a few points.

"I said you're my girlfriend."

Fan Bingbing couldn't help laughing, this was the first time that Zhang Chu had admitted the relationship between the two in front of outsiders.

"Does this count as a help for me?"

"Why don't you count, when you talk to smart people, you need to tell everything? Wu Yusen came to beg me today, his thoughts must have guessed, but he didn't answer at all, what people think, you still don't understand. ”

Fan Bingbing frowned: "What do I understand, you guys play dumb riddles, I'm still confused here!" ”

"If the role is suitable, you don't need to speak, Wu Yusen will also take the initiative to bring it up, and if people don't mention it, it means that it is not suitable."

"Why is it not appropriate?"

Fan Bingbing was still a little unconvinced.

When Zhang Chu and Wu Yusen were chatting about the script just now, she still fantasized that Zhang Chu would play Zhou Yu, and she would play Xiao Qiao, and the two of them would live in the crew, and the result was ......

"This is about to ask Wu Yusen, but Xiao Qiao is not suitable, I think you can try to play Sun Quan's sister Sun Shangxiang."

There are very few records of Sun Quan's sister in history, and she didn't even leave her name, but in the story of "Romance of the Three Kingdoms", this character is portrayed very profoundly.

When it came to Wu Yusen's script, the role of Sun Xiaomei was re-interpreted again, and her personality felt naughty and mischievous, but it was somewhat similar to Fan Bingbing.

"Sun Shangxiang!"

Fan Bingbing read the name softly, and after only struggling for a moment, he already had an idea.
