Hua Zai's eyes also fell on Chen Yuan, wanting to hear what he had to say.
"Xiao Weiwei, have you ever heard of the pyramids?"
Chen Yuan did not answer her question directly, but asked a question instead.
Lu Xiaowei replied: "Nonsense, who hasn't heard of it? It's one of the four wonders of the ancient civilization."
"If we talk about the acting skills and the level of directors in the entertainment industry, they are in a pyramid shape."
"Then I can tell you that I am now...the man standing at the top of the pyramid."
Chen Yuan said.
The sound is very bland.
But the powerful aura and confidence emanating from his body were extremely powerful.
puff!
After a moment of silence, Lu Xiaowei laughed.
Andy gave a thumbs up and said, "Brother Chen Yuan, I admire your confidence."
Depend on!
To put it bluntly, the two of them didn't believe him.
"Anyway, that's what I decided."
Chen Yuan no longer explained nonsense, everything must be done in real terms, "Whether you want to join or not depends on your own wishes."
"Yes, of course I do."
Hua Zai said.
Lu Xiaowei also nodded and responded: "As before, no matter what movie you make, I will cooperate with you."
sweat!
Fourth Aunt, Fourth Aunt, can you pay attention when you speak!
"Okay, in that case, let's talk about the remuneration issue."
Chen Yuan said, "Do you want money, or do you want to sign a box office sharing system?"
Andy Lau and Lu Xiaowei don't quite understand.
"Let's do this. You two sign a contract, and one percent of the box office will be used as your salary."
Chen Yuan said.
One percent of the box office?
With a box office of 5 billion, they can get 50 million.
This price... is also reasonable.
Besides, Chen Yuan had a good relationship with them, so there was nothing to worry about, so he nodded and agreed.
"By the way, how much do you plan to invest in this drama?"
Lu Xiaowei asked.
"Invest thirty to five billion."
Chen Yuan replied, "To prepare a science fiction blockbuster, you may need a lot of funds."
Andy asked: "Invite some foreign stars?"
"Their pay is not low."
Lu Xiaowei added, "You can't lower the quality of the post-production just to invite big names."
This is the case for many movies, claiming to have invested billions of dollars, whetting the appetite of the audience.
In fact, most of the money was spent on inviting big names, and no real post-production was spent at all.
That is the special effect of five cents.
Lu Xiaowei is worried that Chen Yuan will follow the same old path.
"Don't forget, I'm in charge of post-production, so you don't have to spend money."
Chen Yuan said with a smile.
"Are you planning to make this kind of video yourself?"
Lu Xiaowei felt incredible.
Andy reiterated, "This is a science fiction blockbuster."
"Do not worry."
Chen Yuan smiled and said, "As for foreign actors, I don't plan to spend a penny."
No money?
Their eyes widened and their eyes wandered around Chen Yuan, as if they were looking at aliens.
Is this guy a fantasy?
How much money did you spend last time before they were willing to come? If you don’t pay now, will they still come?
"If you don't believe it, wait until the company announces the recruitment of foreign actors and you will know."
Chen Yuan responded confidently.
Chen Yuan called Lin Yaner and asked her to break the news.
After Lin Yaner heard this, she screamed excitedly, finally able to show off her skills.
During this period of time, Chen Yuan had no action in the entertainment industry, and she was very bored. Now that Chen Yuan is out, she can be busy again.
News release.
While Chen Yuan and the others were discussing the script, there was already a turmoil on the Internet.
"Damn it, this guy Chen Yuan...isn't it? He's going to do something big again."
"It's awesome. It's an international blockbuster, and it's also in the science fiction genre. I like it."
"Chen Yuan, I love you, yyds."
Chen Yuan has not been in the industry for a long time, but his reputation is very good and he has accumulated a large number of fans.
After the news was released, the whole Internet was hotly debated.
The die-hard fans, as if they have been given a shot of chicken blood, go everywhere to promote their idols.
Of course, there are also calm people on the Internet who know a lot about the film market and feel that Chen Yuan's actions are very unwise.
Their views are consistent with those of Andy Lau and Lu Xiaowei.
In a short period of time, it is very difficult to bring self-media movies to the screen.
There are also many people in the circle who don't think highly of them.
However, there are also a group of people who are optimistic about Chen Yuan.
Taking advantage of this wave of popularity, as long as you can participate in the show, it won't be a loss.
Many international superstars have contacted Lin Yan'er and expressed their willingness to participate in the show.
Lin Yan'er also expressed her position that the production cost of this drama is limited and she will not provide them with remuneration.
Not only that, you have to pay for the round-trip air tickets, accommodation, and meals yourself.
Even so, people who want to participate in the show are flocking to it.
In their view, being able to participate in Chen Yuan's film is also a kind of qualification. In the future, it will be an honor to be involved in the film market.
It set off a craze.
Later on, there was a trend in the entertainment industry that if you couldn't participate in a show, it meant you weren't popular enough and you would be marginalized immediately.
This rumor attracted the approval of many people.
Holy shit!
The entertainment industry is panicking.
Some stars even took the initiative to call Chen Yuan and asked if they could participate in the show by giving some money to the crew.
After Lu Xiaowei and Hua Zai heard this, their eyes widened and they looked at Chen Yuan in disbelief.
"Is this okay?"
Hua Zai swallowed, "I have never seen anything like this in all my years in the entertainment industry."
Lu Xiaowei smiled, gave a thumbs up, and said: "Chen Yuan, I really have you. If you keep doing this, you'll start making money before you even start filming?"
When people make movies, they invest huge amounts of money and worry about failure.
Fortunately for Chen Yuanke, he is about to make a profit even before filming starts.
Two completely opposite scenes.
"Xiao Weiwei, are you looking down on me too much?"
Chen Yuan smiled and said, "Can I like this little money?"
"The selection of actors this time will be the strictest in history. If the characters do not fit the script, we will definitely not cast them."
"I don't want any extra money, I'm just so willful."
Have a temper!
"I'm convinced. I've been in the entertainment industry for so many years, and you are the best."
Hua Zai said.
"If this movie is really made, then... you will surpass me in all aspects."
Lu Xiaowei said in an appreciative tone.
It's exactly what the system said.
Chen Yuan was very excited when he heard this.
He has already surpassed the second aunt. If he surpasses the fourth aunt again, he will have achieved two-fifths of his goal.
This battle must be fought successfully.
As the director, Chen Yuan personally selects the actors. After the list is finalized, he announces it to the public.
When the news came out, there was an uproar.
Those actors who were selected were so excited that they made hairpins to celebrate.
Those who were not selected held grudges in their hearts, and some who did not know how to conceal vented their dissatisfaction.
