Chapter 507 Solution

According to the idea of ​​​​a blockbuster: a "big" level movie that combines big directors, big names, big production, and big investment.

"Jingjue Ancient City" completely follows the propaganda of domestic blockbusters.

As the opening film of "Ghost Blowing the Lamp", the actors must be international...

Now there is a problem with the International Chapter...

Either add money or change people.

Those who are riding horses are almost turning on their phones, this happened!

Gao Fenfen, Xu Ke, and Shi Nansheng are all here.

"How about we ask Director Han to come forward? China Film Group also accounts for 30% of the investment!"

"No, even if they give face to Director Han, they are not giving us face." Shen Xudong shook his head: "They clearly don't like us, so they rush to kneel down and lick us. Isn't it interesting?"

Gao Fenfen also said: "That's right, I heard that she is going to make three movies with the Weinstein Company..."

"What a shame," Shen Xudong curled his lips: "Where did Harvey get the money to make three movies? His entire Asian film funds have not been invested at all so far!"

Gao Fenfen was confused: "You know?"

"Nonsense. Not many people in Hollywood are optimistic about Zhang Ziyi. These so-called projects...are just PPTs!"

"Then...why did she raise the price?"

"Maybe it's the agent's idea..."

"Agent? Her brother?"

"Um…"

Gao Fenfen immediately said: "That brother of hers is simply speechless. The Moroccan Rose Dance Chinese New Year..."

She was saying the famous saying, 'You can dance, but you have to pay extra! ’ thing…

Brother International is really a master at cheating girls. He also established a cultural company to make money in the name of Zhang Ziyi...

"Let's change the person. Who knows if there will be any trouble during the filming. Besides, we are a series. She asked for 8 million US dollars for the first part. Doesn't it have to go up to 10 million for the second part?"

Shen Xudong looked at Xu Ke and Shi Nansheng: "Director Xu, Sister Shi, what do you think?"

Xu Ke shook his head: "I don't have any good recommendations. If Brigitte Lin were twenty years younger..."

"If Brigitte Lin were twenty years younger, you wouldn't even have to ask..."

Chen Xi interjected: "Yesterday I went to see Chen Hao...she was a bit...plump! She was filming "The Big Deal" and had just gained 20 pounds..."

"Where's Tang Yan?"

Shi Nansheng shook his head: "She is too soft...she looks very hard, but when she talks she becomes soft!"

"...How about we find Liu Yifei?"

"She's not old enough, she's only 19 years old..."

Then came the actor recommendation. Shi Nansheng asked: "How about Shu Qi?"

Shen Xudong shook his head: "I don't like her very much..."

"Any recommendations from Jiahe?"

"Miriam Yang..."

Xu Ke shook his head: "...What I want is to beat women!"

"It's not about beating girls. Let's analyze it. Shirley Yang is a graduate of the Annapolis Naval Academy. She served in the U.S. Navy for a few years and resigned to become a photographer. She can play with guns, fight and sail; her father is an archaeologist. , comes from a good family, and probably influenced by the family, she feels like she is poetic and poetic. To put it simply, she should have a very feminine but somewhat neutral temperament..."

"What about your age?"

"Around 28 years old!"

Hearing this, Shi Nansheng suddenly said: "Maggie Q!"

"She doesn't speak Chinese..." Shen Xudong shook his head, and then said to Xu Ke: "...Director Xu, Sister Shi, if we start the movie three months later, I can help Chen Hao lose 30 pounds!"

"Three months late?"

Shen Xudong said: "I have "Xiu Chun Dao" here, which can be turned on immediately..."

"...It's a novel written by you, I guess. I've read it, and I originally wanted to finish filming "The Ancient City" before filming this one..."

"I've already discussed it with Jiahe, but we're still short of a director..."

"Who did you find as your martial arts instructor?"

"Dong Wei... I talked to him about action fighting, try not to fly up... let the power of the Diao Wia be not upward but downward, so that the character can bend downward and sideways in a posture that ordinary people cannot do. Avoid the opponent's moves or thrust a fatal sword, and your movements will become smooth and sharp!"

"The Wia force goes downwards? How to do it?"

"Look..." Shen Xudong took out his pen and started sketching...

Then...the two of them had a heated exchange of fight plans...

Shi Nansheng was a little speechless...

Gao Fenfen and Chen Xi were a little confused, weren't they discussing "The Ancient City"?

this…

…

Xu Ke and Shi Nansheng left with satisfaction.

"Xiu Chun Knife" will be launched in mid-October...

"What about "Jingjue Ancient City"?"

"Anyway, Zhang Ziyi won't be acting anymore, so it will be left to one of our own. Chen Hao is the most suitable..."

Shen Xudong continued: "And judging from "The Night Banquet", Zhang Ziyi probably doesn't have much appeal either..."

"The Night Banquet", from the promotion to the film reviews, is all about Uncle Ge. Even when Zhang Ziyi is mentioned, it is Zhou Xun's acting that beats Zhang Ziyi.

Gao Fenfen shook his head: "I mean if Zhang Ziyi doesn't accept it, the investment may shrink!"

"...It's okay," Shen Xudong's expression was very calm: "I don't believe anyone who wants to divest their capital without stopping them. Without Zhang Ziyi, I wouldn't be able to make "Jingjue Ancient City". The cost will remain the same. Whatever the difference, I will make up for it!"

Chen Xi interjected: "It's 120 million... plus the 150 million promotion code. If we don't have overseas markets, we won't be able to recover the cost at all."

"Just think of it as a preview for the second part... Besides, who said there is no overseas market? Jiahe is responsible for the distribution in Southeast Asia..."

Chen Xi looked at Gao Fenfen, who nodded helplessly: "Okay, you have decided... Then I will find them."

Shen Xudong said 'hmm', and then said: "...I'm quite angry about this...Why did Zhang Ziyi reject us?"

"…She is an agent…"

"Don't get involved with others. There is no agent or no agent. In the final analysis, our reputation is not significant. If we are Warner Brothers or Disney, can she refuse?"

"So, "Jingjue Ancient City" should not only be made, but also made into a high-quality product...Chen Xi, you go to Perfect World Company tomorrow to solicit 50 million sponsorships...The copyright of the "Ghost Blowing Lamp" game has been signed to them. I told me before that I wanted to invest. Let’s play a movie…”

"Perfect World Company...oh, okay!"

"Sister Gao," Shen Xudong continued: "Go and negotiate with China Film and Shanghai Film and Television. If they don't want to invest, we will return the funds to them...Xiangshan..."

Chen Xi immediately said: "There should be no problem at Xiangshan..."

"That's good…"

"Wait a minute," Gao Fenfen frowned: "When was the project "Xiu Chun Dao" started?"

"... started three days ago..."

"Three days?"

"...I can't really let Xu Ke wait for three months, right?"

"Xiu Chun Dao" is indeed a work that Shen Xudong directly called the person in charge at Jiahe when he received Zhang Ziyi's price increase, and then the project was approved as quickly as possible.

The actors are Duan Yihong, Deng Chao, and Xie Miao. The villain is An Zhijie, and Wu Jing and Zhang Yi make guest appearances.

Why so anxious?

Because Xu Ke's schedule is very precious, a lot of film companies are looking for him.

Let him wait three months for "Jingjue Ancient City"?

Impossible!

In fact, it is not impossible for Shu Qi and Maggie Q to play Shirley Yang, but Shen Xudong is unwilling. Anyway, they are not as famous as Zhang Ziyi, so it is better to arrange their own people...

After chatting for a while, Shen Xudong thought of something: "Publish a press release on the company's official website, saying that the heroine's price will be temporarily increased, and the filming of "Jingjue Ancient City" will be postponed for three months!"

Chen Xi said: "...I didn't sign an actor contract, I just agreed verbally..."

"Ma Dan...she will regret it sooner or later!"

After saying harsh words, Shen Xudong took out his cell phone - it had been vibrating since just now. After looking at the text messages... he couldn't help but grin: "Hey, I knew it!"

"…What's wrong?"

"The North American box office of "The Purge" in its first three-day weekend was US$32.5 million!"
