For a time, the two old friends were at odds with each other, and they were quite serious with each other, and it felt like a man would remain a boy until he died. Of course, this sentence here must be meant as a compliment.
"Hey, you're arguing with me, right? I'm the best actor!" Huang Bo happily quarreled with Xu Zheng.
Xu Zheng was not to be outdone, "What's wrong with you being the best actor? I'm still the director."
"I have a box office of 5 billion, and I can guarantee the box office." Seeing that his plan failed, Huang Bo came up with another plan.
"I'm still a member of the Billion Box Office Club. If I can win this role, I'm willing to be a producer for the literary director, how about it!" Xu Zheng followed up and added weight.
"We already have Brother Hao as the producer, why do we need you? How can you take yourself seriously with a billion box office, right?" Huang Bo secretly asked to provoke dissension.
"Damn it, you still have my share of the 5 billion box office. Are you going to work together next time?"
"Let's go back to the same code. We can't mix these things up..."
The two of them laughed and flirted, but Ning Hao looked like he was used to it. Obviously, this is enough to show that the reason why the three people's long-term cooperative relationship is extremely strong is inseparable from their friendship.
As we all know, the deeper the friendship between men, the more ruthless they will be in revealing their shortcomings. The so-called friendship of stabbing a brother in both sides does not necessarily mean stabbing oneself.
No matter how upright Wen Muye is, he knows at this time that it is impossible to refute the reputation of these two people again and again, not to mention that there is nothing wrong with just trying things out.
I haven't tried it, so who knows if it's suitable or not. In the end, it all depends on the effect.
If the effect is not good, Ning Hao, as the producer, will naturally not show favoritism. It is precisely because of good friendship that things will be easier to handle.
Compared with investors who have no friendship with each other and want to seduce people, or someone in the team secretly poking around and bringing in private goods, it is the most troublesome.
"Of course there's no problem with this. If you two are interested, let's give it a try some other day. Brother Hao happens to be helping with the eyes. We'll see how it works once we try it." Wen Muye said resignedly.
"That's right, just give it a try. If it's really suitable, the script can't be fine-tuned. This little man can do it too."
Zhou Dongsheng pretended to mention it unintentionally, and then added, "Director Ning is also preparing for his own movie. If Director Xu can help with this production matter..."
"I think the filming of this film project will definitely be more comfortable. If Director Xu is interested in bringing in funds to join the team, we can discuss this share."
Zhou Dongsheng said very grandly, after all, movies are also a typical example of everyone adding fuel to the fire. It is by no means the result of one person's efforts and overnight, but the support of the entire film industry system behind it.
The same is true for investment. Even if Zhou Dongsheng takes the lead in entering the field and funds Wen Muye to prepare this movie project, if he tightly holds the share in his hands and wants to monopolize it alone...
The final result will inevitably be that this movie will be unable to reach the heights of its predecessor, and may even present a strange feeling of "a dog's tail continues to follow the mink".
At least for Zhou Dongsheng, this is definitely the feeling. As the saying goes, if you are greedy and the snake swallows the elephant, you may end up in vain.
This is naturally not what Zhou Dongsheng wants to see, nor is it in his interest. Fortunately, Zhou Dongsheng has become increasingly skilled and knowledgeable in dividing the cake.
Zhou Dongsheng has never been greedy. He only wants the largest piece of cake, and it doesn't matter how many portions of the rest he gives to anyone.
Only by giving up a certain share can successful directors such as Ning Hao and Xu Zheng devote their efforts. This principle can be said to be the same as equity incentives.
Only projects that are closely related to their own interests can allow people like them to devote their full efforts. If they have little to do with themselves, then naturally they will not put in any effort.
Of course, this treatment is only limited to these two people. It is naturally not such a good thing for other actors. Just one chance to star is enough for them to devote themselves one after another.
After all, such a film project with an investment of over 100 million can be regarded as a Class A production even in the entertainment industry. What's more, with the aura of a famous director, it is sufficiently attractive to most actors.
But Zhou Dongsheng's words had already been released, and Xu Zheng couldn't help but show emotion on his face. He was already moved after reading the book, and now he has a chance to divide the cake...
Such an icing on the cake opportunity is indeed something Xu Zheng cannot refuse, but the prerequisite is naturally that he can win this role.
but……
"Now that Mr. Zhou has said this, even if I can't win the role of Cheng Yong, I am still willing to contribute. With such a good subject, as a film practitioner, I also hope to see him on the big screen.
!”
Xu Zheng is obviously also a master at reading "The Pattern", and he naturally responded to everything he said.
Although there is an element of financial excitement, after all, not everyone is Zhou Dongsheng and can have a thorough understanding of the expected returns of this project.
Therefore, Xu Zheng's words still showed some pattern, and Zhou Dongsheng couldn't welcome him more, even though Xu Zheng did not come from the three major art schools in China.
But as a well-known alumnus of the fourth largest art school, Xu Zheng's participation not only solved the protagonist's problem, but also involved several important supporting characters, which is naturally also Xu Zheng's contribution.
After all, as a new director, Wen Muye, no matter how talented he is, his training of actors and characters is still his weak point. Only two directors who are willing to put aside their efforts to help create the miracle of this movie.
brilliant.
"Okay, with Director Xu's words here, if Director Wen doesn't agree, how about I, the investor, forcefully force you in?"
Zhou Dongsheng casually made a harmless joke, which made Wen Muye on the side tremble inwardly. Zhou Dongsheng's weight as the largest financial backer was still there.
If Zhou Dongsheng really recommends Xu Zheng as the protagonist, then Wen Muye will naturally have to give it serious consideration.
Following this line of thinking, Wen Muye had already carefully considered the possibility of Xu Zheng as the protagonist.
Originally the background of the protagonist was set as a northern man, firstly to subvert the prototype, and secondly to make it easier to create some conflict plots to advance the plot...
However, this background setting is not the key. It is not impossible to change the background mechanically. On the contrary, it can gain a reputation for high prototype restoration...
Considering the above, it is not impossible, Wen Muye thought in his heart.
At this time, Huang Bo on the side was not happy. Instead, he started to complain: "Why did Mr. Zhou fall in love with this big bald man? At least he left me a chance..."
Looking at this future billionaire movie king, Zhou Dongsheng couldn't help but feel something in his heart. If he remembered correctly, Huang Bo would also become a pornographic director in the future, and he would also contribute a movie about a young lady with good box office and reputation.
Thinking of this, Zhou Dongsheng naturally followed Han Xin's mentality of having more troops, the better. Even though he already had strong capital, he didn't care if the chips in front of him were stacked higher.
Therefore, Zhou Dongsheng did not favor one thing and ignore the other. Instead, he put his arms around Huang Bo's shoulders in a familiar manner and said cheerfully: "I am your loyal fan, Brother Bo. I am personally very optimistic about Brother Bo's future career."
The first Chinese billionaire actor..."
First he raised his hand, which was also flattering, but from the hungry mouth of a person like Zhou Dongsheng, the weight was naturally different.
Huang Bo felt extremely comfortable and even raised his eyebrows provocatively towards Xu Zheng.
After all, the latter is far away from this record. No matter how hard you try, you will be powerless to touch this record.
Therefore, Xu Zheng could only roll his eyes, pulled Wen Muye aside and began to discuss the movie.
"If Brother Bo is interested in turning into a director and directing a movie in the future, I am willing to be the first investor..." Zhou Dongsheng gave his promise with a smile.
As soon as Huang Bo said these words, it was as if he had eaten ginseng fruit. The wrinkles on his face instantly spread out, and his whole person looked radiant.
"Does Mr. Zhou think that I also have the talent to be a director?" Huang Bo couldn't help but said with some excitement. After all, on the road of being an actor, Huang Bo did not dare to say that he had reached the end.
But it has indeed reached a certain height. It is naturally not easy to achieve a breakthrough in acting. In addition to needing more accumulation to gain ground...
Sometimes you can bypass the analogy and try it from a different angle, and you may be able to have a different understanding of the movie. This is also the main reason why many actors take the path of directing and acting themselves.
After all, an actor who doesn't want to be a director is not a good actor.
"Different paths lead to the same goal. As an investor, I am very confident in my own vision. At least Director Huang's project is worth investing in..." Zhou Dongsheng continued.
Looking at the handsome young man in front of him, although he did not know Zhou Dongsheng's investment deeds as well as Xu Zheng did, in Huang Bo's view, Zhou Dongsheng still became a bit more pleasing to the eye.
Although it is said that since he became famous, he has been surrounded by "good people", but naturally there are still very few good people who can actually support him with real money.
Of course, Rao and Zhou Dongsheng are still at the verbal stage, and it is still unknown whether they can fulfill their promise, but for these two people who are dealing with each other for the first time, being able to reach this stage is already the limit.
Any more words would be too much and not enough. If Zhou Dongsheng was too positive, the three of them might have to murmur in their hearts...
I suspect that Zhou Dongsheng is really the kind of person who spends money to do good things. After all, this method of investing in movies does not involve any ordinary methods. It seems that he is playing a high-risk and high-return method...
Thinking about it this way, it seems particularly reasonable. After all, as an investor, Zhou Dongsheng was able to accumulate such strong capital at a young age. Didn't he have to rely on this high-risk, high-return approach?
If we rely on prudent financial management, we probably won’t reach this point even in the Year of the Monkey.
Of course, luck does not always favor fools.
No matter what, the sincerity shown by Zhou Dongsheng was at least enough to impress Huang Bo. In addition, Huang Bo was a good person, and within a few moments the two of them were already fighting fiercely.
As for such a movie project that Ning Hao was tinkering with, in addition to their main characters, there were naturally also the attendance and participation of other guests.
It’s just that those who are not important will not be mentioned one by one here.
After meeting that night, everyone had a great time chatting with each other, and at noon the next day, the Youth Film Project press conference, which was open to the outside world, was naturally held as scheduled.
The posters and materials have naturally been prepared a long time ago. As a youth film project led by Bad Monkey Pictures, it is naturally named "Bad Monkey".
Later, it was named "72 Changes", the great sage's magical power, although "Fire Eyes and Golden Eyes" seemed to fit the theme better and was more consistent with the positioning of "Bole".
But maybe it was because Ning Hao had been caught in the rain before, so he didn't want to pass the umbrella in a condescending manner, so he finally decided on the title of the movie project "Bad Monkey 72".
"Bad Monkey 72 Transformations, Born for the Future!"
An eye-catching title appeared on the big screen, and many media friends in the audience naturally recorded this symbolic opening ceremony with their cameras.
After that, everyone took a small seat on the stage, and the atmosphere was like chatting with a long-lost friend, which was extremely harmonious.
Under Ning Hao's eloquent words, the future blueprint of the entire Youth Film Project was slowly revealed, painting a beautiful vision for the future for everyone.
At the same time, it also took the opportunity to release the first work of this youth film project, which is tentatively titled "Chinese Medicine God" with a realistic theme. Its selling point of being adapted from real people and true events has attracted media attention.
Furthermore, I am very curious about whether Wen Muye, a new director, can direct such a large-investment project, and why investor Zhou Dongsheng has so much confidence in a new director...
Regarding this, Zhou Dongsheng, the old man sitting on the horse, looked at the pile of guns and cannons in the audience, and said without any panic: "I was just worried about having too much money, so I did movie investment on a whim..."
"
"After all, the happiness of rich people is often like this..."
Before Zhou Dongsheng could finish speaking, some good people in the audience already echoed in unison: "Simple and boring!"
I didn’t expect that all my lines were snatched away, but at the same time, the filming team’s camera also faithfully recorded this scene, which is obviously a good video material.
Zhou Dongsheng also showed off his Rolex very familiarly and shook it symbolically. After all, he is a serious spokesman, so he naturally has to do some serious work.
Don't tell me, others are just pretending to do this, but Zhou Dongsheng's performance is actually extremely joyful and funny, making people laugh.
Ning Hao and Xu Zheng watched Zhou Dongsheng's performance and couldn't help but feel dumbfounded. They thought to themselves: Are all rich people so good at playing nowadays?
With Zhou Dongsheng's lively atmosphere, the press conference was immediately filled with a happy atmosphere inside and outside.
"I was just joking with everyone, now I'm going to give you a serious answer..." Zhou Dongsheng said seriously.
………
At the same time, an international flight at Beijing Airport landed slowly, and a beautiful woman who had obviously been disguised was sitting in the first-class cabin looking out the window.
At this time, a passenger who had been observing for a long time finally couldn't help but asked: "Hello, are you Ni Ni? Can I take a photo with you?"
Ni Ni took off her sunglasses and smiled, as cheerfully as a northern girl, "Of course!"
