"It's more than good. Whether it's from the concept of the script, the character creation, or the script skills, it can be regarded as a very brilliant script in every aspect..."
Wen Muye was full of praise and looked over the script back and forth as if he couldn't put it down. Then he suddenly sighed, "If the script wasn't written very crudely and looked like the work of an outsider at first glance, then I wouldn't believe it.
It’s from Mr. Zhou’s hand!”
"President Zhou just said that I was born to be a director. I disagree with this. I think President Zhou was born to be a screenwriter!"
Then he seemed to think of the few words he had learned about Zhou Dongsheng from the Internet. They were already a typical example of young success, and he couldn't help but say.
"Perhaps there really is a genius in this world, and Mr. Zhou is obviously such a person. The four words of drawing by analogy make Mr. Zhou perform it vividly!"
Wen Muye looked convinced and gave thumbs up repeatedly.
Even Zhou Dongsheng felt a little carried away when he was photographed with this flattery, but this cultural man looked different when photographed, which made him feel particularly comfortable.
"As the saying goes, a good horse goes with a good saddle. No matter how good the script is, it can only show its greatest effect if it is in the hands of a knowledgeable director. I think Director Li's director's style is just right."
Not to be outdone, Zhou Dongsheng praised Wen Muye, even though at the moment Wen Muye was still just a little-known director.
Before coming here, Wen Muye thought that he was somewhat confident, but in front of this script, his confidence seemed a bit untenable in front of Zhou Dongsheng.
After all, this is just a side job that others "picked up at random". I haven't even made a name for my main job yet. Those few international short film awards were enough to make me feel complacent...
In front of Zhou Dongsheng, he was more or less at a loss, so Wen Muye said hesitantly.
"With such a good script, wouldn't Mr. Zhou consider a better director? This script alone is enough to impress most directors, not to mention that Mr. Zhou is not short of investment..."
Listening to Wen Muye's hesitant tone, Zhou Dongsheng smiled slightly, didn't the fish take the bait? This is the effect we want.
Rather than rushing to find a famous director to discuss a icing on the cake cooperation, it is better to find a promising new director to provide help in times of need.
The value embodied by the two is completely different, not to mention that this is Wen Muye's blockbuster work that made him famous?
If it were a different director and a different style, there's no telling what the film would look like.
"Brother Wen is out of touch when he says this. As the saying goes, there are specialties in the art industry. I think this script can show the most perfect effect under Brother Wen's lens. Otherwise, even a famous director can't do it.
"
"After all, Brother Wen's directorial style is absolutely top-notch when it comes to portraying marginal characters and shaping the image of small characters!"
After Zhou Dongsheng fed him the ecstasy, Wen Muye was completely lost. He had met Bole, so today I had to die for my confidant!
"Mr. Zhou, you will be my brother from now on. I'll give you a toast with tea instead of wine!" Wen Muye said with tears in his eyes.
Then he seemed to feel that his sincerity was not enough, so he planned to call the waiter to bring him a bottle of white wine. This would be unreasonable if he did not order some wine.
Zhou Dongsheng waved his hands repeatedly, "Hey, hey, it's not Brother Wen, we don't want to do this. If you really miss this love, the most important thing is to make the movie well. Let's talk about investment..."
The relationship has reached this point. Isn't the matter of our autobiographical movie a done deal?
Although there is no comparison with those famous directors who stand on the ceiling of the industry, in terms of filmmaking, it is not surprising that the waves in front are beaten to death on the beach by the waves behind.
"In terms of investment, this kind of drama film relies more on the acting skills of the actors rather than high-cost special effects. Therefore, such a film should only be regarded as a small- to medium-cost film. An investment of tens of millions is more than enough..."
Wen Muye gave a relatively conservative quotation, while Zhou Dongsheng spread his hands and waved them in the air casually.
"I invested 50 million, including the script. It shouldn't be an exaggeration to take the majority of the movie. The remaining share is left to Brother Wen. If Brother Wen doesn't want to take care of it, I can handle the production and distribution!"
"I think Principal Wang might be interested..." Zhou Dongsheng touched his chin and said casually.
For a movie, from production to distribution to release, the profit distribution is generally related to all aspects, ranging from a few companies to more than a dozen companies, as can be seen from the list at the beginning.
It can be said that the film industry, which has been developing for many years, is the most standard model of collective effort. Those with money contribute money and powerful efforts. Only with the joint efforts of many parties can it be possible for a movie to be successfully launched.
Of course, it's not that no one is willing to monopolize the profits, but film investment is a standard high-risk, high-return affair with so many uncertainties that even people who often walk by the river rarely get wet shoes.
Even giants who are able to go it alone will still choose to cast a wide net to catch more fish. The risk of spending the same money on one movie is definitely much greater than spreading it over several movies.
In contrast, Zhou Dongsheng has a huge prophetic advantage, but the film industry cannot be solved by money alone, especially for such a high-risk film!
If we don't give a little room for maneuver and allocate a little profit to others, then it's still unclear whether such a movie can be released.
After all, how many movies with huge investments end up failing at the last step and losing all their money.
Fortunately, Zhou Dongsheng has always been self-aware and knows that the consequences of eating alone are often not fat but exhausted.
Wen Muye couldn't help but be moved. If Zhou Dongsheng's previous words were just "nice words", then this 50 million solid investment truly made his words and deeds consistent.
Although the money did not come into his pocket, the trust he placed in his hands for such a large project was worth more than ten thousand.
"I won't talk about the scene. Fortunately, Mr. Zhou trusts me so much. I will try my best to make this movie. If I mess up, I will tell you!" Wen Muye said the harsh words directly, obviously moved.
sincere.
"Brother Wen doesn't need to be under so much pressure. If it fails, we will just practice it. An investment of only 50 million is not a big deal..."
He used the calmest tone and pretended to be the most ruthless, but after this strong dose of medicine went down, Wen Muye was completely disoriented and couldn't find where to go.
If you get this bole, what more can you ask for!
He didn't even drink, but Wen Muye already felt that he was on top. He couldn't wait to shed his blood for Zhou Dongsheng. He even wanted to make an alliance with his own blood and come to Taoyuan to form a sworn brotherhood.
Looking at Wen Muye's excited expression, Zhou Dongsheng felt secretly happy. It felt good to be a dick, and he could have as much fun as he wanted.
Knowing that the project has a high probability of not losing money and making a lot of money, it is naturally the best way to win people's hearts.
And so far, it seems that the effect is indeed excellent.
"With Mr. Zhou's support, I am confident that we can solve the problem whether it is production or distribution. And with this solid script, we also have enough initiative in selecting actors!"
"After all, once Lu Yong's deeds are filmed well, he can definitely win film awards. This temptation is difficult for most actors to refuse!"
Wen Muye scolded Fang Qiu confidently, revealing his ambition without any concealment in his words. He showed his determination to sprint for the award. Firstly, he showed his confidence, and secondly, he showed it to Zhou Dongsheng.
"I have always believed in the principle that professional matters should be left to professional people. Therefore, all filmmaking matters are left to Brother Wen. Whether it is selecting actors or modifying the script, it is all decided by Brother Wen!"
"I will be a good investor and a hands-off shopkeeper, waiting for good news from Brother Wen. When the time comes, I want to be the first audience. Isn't this a request too much?"
Zhou Dongsheng clasped his fingers together and leaned back on the chair slowly and said.
But I have to say that this unreserved trust was no less than the ancient kings entrusting the tiger talisman to their generals, and Wen Muye was completely impressed.
At this moment, Wen Muye felt that apart from kneeling down to kowtow to Zhou Dongsheng, the only way he could live up to Zhou Dongsheng's trust was by making a good movie.
Wen Muye suddenly felt like he had returned to the golden age of movies in the early years. At that time, the coal boss was also so generous and generous. In addition to directly giving money, he also interfered too much in making movies.
It is this trust that has enabled many young directors to unleash their creative desires and create countless masterpieces that have left their names in the history of Chinese film.
In that golden age of movies, the character Coal Boss definitely played an indispensable role.
And the performance of Zhou Dongsheng in front of me is far superior to that of the coal boss. After all, it not only gives money, but also comes with a solid quality script...
The fortune teller under the overpass said that there is a noble person in his life who can help him rise to the top and gain both fame and fortune. Now it seems that he has really met him!
"Nothing is too much. I will do my best in selecting actors. I will let Mr. Zhou personally review it at that time, and it will be up to you to make the final decision. If anyone in our company wants to make a guest appearance, that's no problem..."
Wen Muye considers himself a person with certain artistic pursuits. He is very dissatisfied with some unspoken rules in the industry and disdains to associate with them...
But Zhou Dongsheng gave too much, so much that Wen Muye felt that it was not impossible to give in to things like principles, just block people, what's the big deal.
"Hey, everything is based on Brother Wen's vision. I won't do that kind of thing where one mouse excrement ruins the pot of soup. At most, when the actor is finalized, you can open my eyes!"
Zhou Dongsheng waved his hands repeatedly, as if he completely trusted Wen Muye. Of course, Zhou Dongsheng also kept an eye on it. If several major roles changed, he could also make the decision to introduce them.
Despite this, Wen Muye was still so moved that he opened up the conversation and talked heart-to-heart with Zhou Dongsheng.
As for investment, Zhou Dongsheng decided to let his Dongsheng Investment + two major media companies name him together, which can be regarded as a way to build his reputation on the big screen.
This move was also when Zhou Dongsheng was preparing to invest in "Wolf Warrior 2". Principal Wang gave him some advice, and Zhou Dongsheng applied what he learned and planned to continue using it on this project.
Of the three major companies, only Little Man Media is not 100% owned by Zhou Dongsheng. Therefore, Little Man Media will take the lead and the other two companies will take the lion's share. This is the option to maximize profits.
After having a heart-to-heart with Zhou Dongsheng, Wen Muye straightened his back and left Yangcheng. His confidence was not lacking, and when he said goodbye, he patted his chest to reassure Zhou Dongsheng and wait for good news from him!
The film investment matter came to an end for the time being, and Zhou Dongsheng rarely had half a day of free time. After a few days, he had a peaceful life.
However, when Zhou Dongsheng, the hands-off shopkeeper, is free, it still does not prevent the projects under his hands from still working hard and rushing forward to expand Zhou Dongsheng's business territory.
Among them, "PlayerUnknown's Battlegrounds", which has begun to make money day by day, is undoubtedly one of the most eye-catching ones.
As time goes by, the National Internet Cafe League, jointly organized by Banana Games and Wangyu Internet Cafe, is progressing in full swing and has reached the halfway point.
25 four-person teams that stand out from Internet cafes across the country will gather in Shanghai under the arrangement of the organizer to conduct a two-day points knockout competition. Three teams will eventually be determined to become the champions of the first National Chicken Internet Cafe League.
Second runner-up!
Although the prize money for the entire event is only 1 million, as a popular offline phenomenon that has swept Internet cafes across the country, this first Internet Cafe League has naturally attracted much attention.
And as many established e-sports clubs announced the establishment of PlayerUnknown's Battlegrounds divisions, they all stared at the stage of this first Internet Cafe League, preparing to select their own team members.
After all, the Internet Cafe League is just an appetizer. What is really important is obviously the official professional league stage, which is where their clubs compete.
Countless e-sports teenagers who claim to have extraordinary talents are also gearing up and preparing to use the Internet Cafe League as a stepping stone to enter the e-sports arena and become famous!
With the movements of all parties, the popularity of PlayerUnknown's Battlegrounds is naturally rising. At this moment, Brandon Green, who has understood the essence of Chinese culture from Zhou Dongsheng, integrated the refined elements of the twelve zodiac animals into the set of Spring Festival skins
Recycled and remade.
The skins of the Year of the Monkey series of the twelve zodiac signs are officially released, and the four characters "Golden Monkey in Spring" named by Zhou Dongsheng are reserved as the skin names.
Brandon Green immediately handed it over to Zhou Dongsheng for review. After receiving Zhou Dongsheng's approval and praise, he naturally went on sale online without stopping.
And it’s launched globally simultaneously!
As the second set of skins in the game "PlayerUnknown's Battlegrounds", it is also full of gimmicks with Chinese zodiac elements. It has been praised by countless players as soon as it was released.
On the shark platform, the baboon, the first brother of the shark, was sitting firmly, looking at the golden monkey tail in the prize display for the second set of skins on the interface and drooling...

"Brothers! Have you seen this tail? After the first gold 98K in the server, I must win the first monkey tail in the server. Don't you like to call it a labor baboon?"
"I'm bound to get this monkey tail!" As soon as he finished speaking, the curly-haired baboon let out his iconic baboon laugh, and the air inside and outside the live broadcast room was filled with joy.
