Chapter 483 The super project that comes to your doorThai
Huang Bo and Ning Hao came here to discuss the script. After all, Wu Hu is the screenwriter of this drama.
It turned out that he, the screenwriter, had never discussed the script with the director or the lead actor. The only person who had done so was the lead actor, Lao Hu.
But Wu Hu felt that although he was a screenwriter, he only wrote an outline, and the content was filled in by Lao Bai and several other screenwriters from the screenwriting department. There was no need for him to come forward at all.
But if they are willing to come and talk to him, Wu Hu will naturally not refuse. The whole drama revolves around the reversal of the identities of the male protagonist and the second male lead. As long as the male protagonist's costume comparison can be grasped, it will be fine.
The male protagonist's costume comparison is unintentionally a real one, while the second male lead's costume comparison is a purposeful bluff, a fake one, and the laughter revolves around these.
With Huang Bo's acting skills, Wu Hu was not worried about him playing the male lead. Instead, he was worried about Lao Hu's second male lead. After all, there was nothing wrong with Lao Hu acting in a TV series. However, in a movie, he was a little worried that Lao Hu would use too much force and would be injured.
It makes people feel like they are acting out.
Hearing what Wu Hu said, Lao Hu, who was still full of confidence in himself, suddenly felt guilty. Although it was not that he had never made movies, there were almost no movies with high box office. In other words, he was very good at movies.
, has not proven itself.
Guangtou Xu is the assistant director of this film. As a director, Ning Hao will still need to promote his own film, so he will have to find someone to take over for a while.
So Baldy Xu was roped in by Ning Hao to help out. It just so happened that Bald Xu also had the idea of becoming a director himself and wanted to make a movie.
Hearing Bald Xu say that he chased Huang Bo to the set of "The Lucky Key", Wu Hu couldn't help but laugh. He guessed that Bald Xu wanted to prostitute Huang Bo for free.
Because the movie that Bald Xu is going to make should be the movie 'Thailand'.
In Another Time and Space, the drama "Thailand" will be released at the end of the year. At the same time, it has broken many records and received a box office of 1.2 billion. It is a typical representative of a small knife sawing a big tree.
After all, its production cost is said to be only 30 million.
It is said that Huang Bo acted in this drama for free. Although there will definitely be bonus compensation afterwards, if this drama is a hit, it will really be a help.
But now, Huang Bo has been invited by Mr. Han to star in "The Lucky Key" early on. Baldy Xu doesn't have the guts to ask Huang Bo to turn down this movie. After all, this is a movie dominated by a kind of actor.
In the flower-planting film industry, if you dare to offend the film industry, you basically don’t need to get involved.
There is also New World Media, which they dare not offend easily.
Although New World Media's media volume is not large, who knows that this company has an international superstar who is known for being petty as its boss?
Although Wu Hu is easy to talk to his fans and entertainment reporters, everyone saw his desire for revenge in that survival show.
In addition, Wu Hu was offended at the Music Chart Ceremony. Wu Hu turned around and threw himself into Yili's arms. Like Milk Tea Lun, he refused to participate in the subsequent event. This also made people feel that Wu Hu was definitely not the kind of person who was easy to talk to.
Finally, Wu Hu and La Zhi Ying released their albums in the same month, beating La Zhi Ying so hard that he didn't even want to leave the door, which made people feel that this guy was simply vindictive.
However, because there are many people who hate Spicy Eagle, Spicy Eagle was blindsided. Instead, many people clapped and applauded, and even many netizens directly praised Wu Hu for doing a great job.
Therefore, Bald Xu could only continue to work hard behind Huang Bo, letting Huang Bo shoot "Lucky Key" first, and by the way, take the opportunity to continue to master his directing skills.
Speaking of this matter, Bald Xu took the opportunity to tell the story of Tai Ji. Then he asked Wu Hu, "What do you think of this story, Mr. Wu?"
"Call me Fat Tiger! You don't have to be too polite. The story is pretty good, but this kind of comedy movie ultimately depends on the performance of the actors. Compared with other types of movies, actors in comedy movies need acting skills the most, because if you don't pay attention,
If something funny turns into an awkward joke, that would be a disaster. But comedy actors have the hardest time winning major film awards."
Huang Bo slapped his thigh and said, "Mr. Wu, you are so right! I'll give you a toast with tea instead of wine!"
Wu Hu smiled and said: "If you want to drink, drink at night!"
Hearing Wu Hu's words, Zhan Langjing grinned.
Everyone knows that Wu Hu is huge, and Huang Bo is no exception. He quickly said: "No hurry, no rush, let's drink tea first and sing tea first."
Xu Guangtou said: "I have already negotiated with Wang Baobao that he will star, plus myself. Finally, I wanted to ask Lao Huang to star, but he didn't want to star."
Huang Bo complained, "I don't have any schedule! And I think the drama "Lucky Key" will definitely be more enjoyable than yours. I have never played such a role before!"
"I didn't ask you to turn down "The Lucky Key"! I just hope that after you finish this drama, you can come and act in my movie as soon as possible. I'm planning to release it in November!"
Zhan Langjing said with a smile: "That's a bit rushed. It's almost April now. When "Lucky Key" is finished filming, it will probably be in June or July. I will take over the filming of your film immediately and wait for another two or three months."
, it is estimated that the filming will be completed in September, or even October, why not put more than a month of post-production and promotion into the New Year or Lunar New Year schedule?"
Bald Xu shook his head and said: "These two schedules are more competitive. "1942", "The King's Feast", "Twelve Zodiac Signs", and "Big Shanghai" are all considered blockbusters. If we move the schedule
In the middle of these large tracts, it’s like an egg hitting a rock! It may be crushed to pieces by then.”
Hearing Guangtou Xu's words, everyone couldn't help laughing, but apart from laughing, they also felt a little helpless. It was really scary!
Look at who directed those movies! Cannon Gangzi, Big Brother Cheng, Fatty Jing, the king of bad movies...any one of them is the king of commercial movies.
No wonder Xu Guangtou is not confident when facing these people. It is indeed a bit bluffing!
I believe that even if Wu Hu told him now that his movie would break records, everyone would probably just think that Wu Hu was joking and comforting Bald Xu.
This chapter is not over yet. Please click on the next page to continue reading! As he said that, Bald Xu looked at Wu Hu and said, "Mr. Wu, are you, New World Media, interested in investing in my movie? Not too much, five to forty million."
enough"
Hearing this, Wu Hu couldn't help but be stunned. It was not that he was amazed at Xu Guangtou's open mouth, but that he was surprised that he hadn't attracted investment yet?
In another time and space, it is said that he went to Lao Wangla, the boss of Guangxian, for investment. When Lao Wang of Guangxian heard his story, he gave him 25 million in investment on the spot.
Could it be that Bald Xu hasn’t gone to Mr. Wang Guangxian for investment yet? As for Bald Xu opening his mouth, the main reason is that the investment for this drama in another time and space was only 30 million, but now he is asking for 40 million.
And just now it seems that I wanted to say 50 million at the beginning, but I changed my words temporarily, which makes people feel like, 'You are fucking fooling people'.
However, considering that Wang Baobao is more popular than in another time and space, it is almost impossible to offer him another two million yuan in salary. Even five million yuan is considered a friendship price.
Coupled with Huang Bo's salary, it is estimated that if he can get an investment of 40 million, Baldy Xu will not pester Huang Bo to star in the film for zero salary.
With Huang Bo and Wang Baobao starring together, it is normal for the investment to be higher. In another time and space, Wang Baobao seemed to have never cooperated with Xu Guangtou after "Thailand".
Many people think that it was just because Bald Xu’s salary for Wang Baobao was so low. He paid two million as a friendship price, but the result was a box office hit without any reward.
He made a lot of money, but in the end, Wang Baobao only got a measly two million. Thinking about it is really a bit chilling. He really just eats the meat and lets others drink the soup!
If Baobao Wang is only worth two million, there is nothing to say. But the price is clearly a friendship price, but in the end they don't make up for the friendship. How can we cooperate in the future?
As for Xu Guangtou, he seems to mean that Wang Baobao's acting skills are too good and will easily steal his limelight, so he doesn't want to cooperate with him.
For this reason, Wu Hu thinks it’s enough to listen to it. Who doesn’t hope that the actors he has hired can perform their acting skills exceptionally well and make the film of higher quality?
Wu Hu asked doubtfully: "The box office of the previous film 'Jonny Road' was quite satisfactory. Could it be that you still can't attract investment for this sequel?"
Bald Xu shook his head and said: "It's not a sequel, it's just a similar story structure. It's an upgraded version! I've also looked for some
Companies, including Star Film and Television, are either not very confident about my directorial ability, or they don’t dare to invest more. Only the boss with limited time is willing to invest two to five million, but he is afraid that he will not be able to recoup the cost if it is more."
Wu Hu said with a smile: "Then what name are you planning to use for this movie? If you continue to use "Awkward", the other party will definitely sue you. Even if you change the name, you will definitely not win the lawsuit.
Why not buy the rights and make a sequel?"
When Bald Xu heard this, he couldn't help but be stunned and looked at Wu Hu strangely.
Ning Hao also coughed slightly and looked at Wu Hu with a strange look.
Zhan Langjing laughed and said: "Pang Hu, you haven't been in this industry for long. In fact, many movies are like this. Everyone is not very aware of copyright. There are too many such things. Under normal circumstances, if there is no conflict,
If so, everyone will choose to turn a blind eye. After all, no one knows whether they will offend others next time due to the same problem."
Wu Hu laughed and said, "What if this movie accidentally gets a high box office and the other party becomes jealous? Wouldn't it be asking for trouble? Why not spend some money and get the copyright?"
"Mr. Wu is willing to invest?" Bald Xu asked again.
"Investment is okay, but it's best to get the copyright to avoid having to fight with them in lawsuits in the future." Wu Hu said sternly.
"Forty million?" Bald Xu asked with some uncertainty.
Wu Hu smiled and said: "We will make a budget for the specific investment amount when the time comes. I feel like your 40 million is just a matter of words."
Everyone laughed when they heard this, but Baldy Xu was not embarrassed at all, "Why don't I give you a vaccination first, Mr. Wu! In case you overspend too much later, you say I cheated you."
Wu Hu asked again: "Have you agreed to Mr. Guangqian's investment?"
Xu Guangtou nodded and said: "There are some verbal agreements. Originally, I wanted to get Lao Huang and then go to them to ask for more investment. I also made a simple budget, plus Lao Huang's salary, at least
Around 35 million, this does not include my actor's salary and director's salary. My idea is to fold my actor's salary and director's salary into the cost, and I will get a share. If this drama really hits the market, I will
Just think that these few months have been in vain."
Hearing this, Wu Hu knew why in another time and space, he could make a lot of money from this film without paying the director's salary or the actor's salary. It was indeed bold.
It's probably that he didn't have any confidence in the movie, he just didn't expect it to be a big hit.
Wu Hu nodded and said: "Since we have a verbal agreement, we can bring Guangxian together at that time. Our New World Media will account for 60%, and you and Guangxian will split the remaining 40%!"
"Once I achieve enough, I can't afford more!"
It's impossible to spend millions if you can't afford it. I guess you don't want to spend more. As the filmmakers in Hong Kong often say, as a director, please don't use your own money to make movies.
"Okay! I will tell Kang Zhi, and you can contact him then."
Kang Zhi has now gone to Bald Eagle to study with the team. Although New World Media only accounted for 30% of the investment in the movie "Now You See Me", Kang Zhi is also one of the producers.
Wu Hu also wanted to take this opportunity to train him more.
However, Kang Zhi cannot stay with Bald Eagle for a long time. He also needs to be responsible for some affairs of domestic companies.
New World Media's booth is now gradually expanding, and Kang Zhi is also cultivating his deputy. The driver and translator he hired from Kimchi Peninsula, Xu Dong, a Northeastern native, is Kang Zhi's current deputy for the "Mountain Village Fox Wife" project.
He was the one in charge. Kang Zhi was the chief producer and he served as one of the producers.
In addition, although "Lucky Key" is led by Chong Film, New World Media also has 40% of the investment, and it also needs people to watch it to avoid being careless.
Wu Hu also didn't expect that Bald Xu, who came with Huang Bo and the others, actually gave them a project for New World Media, and it was also a super profitable project.
Although some of it had to be given to Guangqian, Wu Hu didn't think it was a big deal. After all, this project was originally 'robbed' from Guangqian.
Besides, if he doesn't split the eggs
Oops, if the project becomes a big hit, Guangxian’s Lao Wang will probably hate him to death. That would be a serious enmity.
After all, Guangtou Xu and Lao Wang Guangxian have already made a verbal agreement. Although no one knows whether the project can make money, they don't care whether you know it or not. Anyway, the project was robbed in the end, and you are the one who benefits.
Wu Hu.
In Wu Hu's view, there is endless money to be made, and there is no need to form such a grudge against others.
Guangxian is considered a big business among flower growers. As the boss, Lao Wang will certainly have a lot of energy. If you really want to get rid of him, it won't be too difficult.
Of course, everyone's buttocks are not too clean, and they understand each other tacitly.
In the evening, Wu Hu went to the kitchen and cooked a table of delicacies for everyone. Then he picked up the wine glasses to fight with each other and drank several people into drunkenness.
