Chapter 486: "Taking Advantage"

Mr. Xu's professional skills are still very strong, but his imagination is unconstrained, and he often ignores the integrity of the film, and often falls into the cycle of using special effects for the sake of special effects, and using imagination for the sake of imagination.

If you want to make money by investing in his films, you must have a strong producer, a producer who can "rein" him.

Aiyouteng, on the other hand, agreed to such conditions, so Jiang Heng dared to discuss cooperation with him.

"To outwit Weihu Mountain, you know this story, right?" Jiang Heng said with a smile.

There are not many films made by Mr. Xu after he went north, which were both well-received and well-received. "Taking Tiger Mountain by Wisdom" is one of them.

In the original history, this film was jointly produced by film companies such as Bona, Huaxia, and Bayi. It had a Douban score of 7.7 and a box office of 879 million. It was considered a relatively successful work.

Although compared to the investment of 200 million, the profit is not that much, but there is no reason to let this work disappear.

If Xu Ke's idea was used to cooperate with other companies, it would be a loss.

However, judging from his reaction, it seems that he has never thought about this subject.

"Outwit, Weihu Mountain?"

Xu Ke smiled and said, "I have heard that Yang Zirong went up the mountain to hunt tigers. Tiger hunting?"

Old Monster Xu's eyes lit up, and he was obviously thinking about how to make the tiger-fighting scene more exciting and exciting.

Jiang Heng was a little dumbfounded when he saw this. This old weirdo Xu always pays attention to places that can show his imagination.

"In the vast forest and snow-capped fields, Yang Zirong single-handedly went deep into the Longtan Tiger's Den. He met a tiger on the road and started a life-or-death struggle. The one who was being chased escaped into a tree.

Even if the tiger climbed up the tree, it would still be like walking on flat ground. It's just that the dead tree couldn't bear its weight of several hundred kilograms and fell again.

Yang Zirong went to shoot the tiger with his gun. At the critical moment, the gun was frozen, and he hit the tiger's eye with the pistol on his waist...! "

Jiang Heng gave a brief description, which made Xu Ke's heart surge. He said, "Okay, okay, if this scene is made into a movie, it should be very exciting! There shouldn't be such a beautiful tiger-fighting scene in a film or television drama, right?"

Jiang Heng said: "Of course, the shooting conditions in the old "Water Margin" were primitive, and it was not easy to film the tiger-fighting scene. There were so many twists and turns!"

Xu Ke nodded slightly, "It's really a good idea to use special effects in this aspect!" Then he asked about the specific idea of ​​the story.

Jiang Heng said briefly, and Xu Ke agreed after thinking about it for a while.

After all, the "market" will not be good, and if you don't agree, it is possible that you won't be able to attract investment in a year or two.

After the cooperation was settled, the two of them talked freely about some things in the entertainment industry in Hong Kong.

For example, some artists are having a very bad life now, and even eating is a problem.

There are also people who are seriously ill, their money has been taken away, and they are in a miserable situation.

Jiang Heng felt a little uncomfortable after hearing this.

Looking back on the golden age of Hong Kong films, those on the screen were high-spirited. Compared to this moment, it is indeed a bit miserable.

Jiang Heng took out a cigarette, lit one, and said in a deep voice: "Speaking of which, I haven't been back for a while.

I plan to go there a few years ago to meet old friends, and we can pool money together to set up a fund, so I can take care of it! "

Xu Ke said: "If you are willing to come forward, things will definitely happen. They are lucky!"

Jiang Heng smiled, "It's nothing, just do what you can!"

Xu Ke said: "It's a piece of cake for you, but it's a guarantee of survival for them!"

Jiang Heng said: "Money, you have to spend it when you earn it, you can't keep saving it!"

Xu Ke laughed, "That's what you are saying. In the entire Chinese language, ah no, in the global entertainment industry, I'm afraid there is no one richer than you!"

Jiang Heng waved his hand, "My little money is nothing, I'm afraid I can't even compete with the richest man, and I can't compare with those real capital tycoons!"

Xu Ke said: "People who don't know what you say will believe you. They think you are just a very famous director. In fact, your assets, just the annual profit of "League of Legends", are comparable to those of many listed companies!"

Jiang Heng smiled coquettishly, "That's right. I've been thinking about filming all day long. If you didn't tell me, I would have almost forgotten all about it!"

Old Monster Xu was speechless and said in his heart: "You just want to hear me compliment you in disguise!"

After drinking until about nine o'clock in the evening, the two of them dispersed.

Another day later, Jiang Heng came to Aiyouteng Film Building and asked his assistant to notify Yu Dong to come over.

The latter arrived at Jiang Heng's office quickly and thought it was about the announcement of "The Heroic Soldiers Series".

Unexpectedly, when Jiang Heng opened his mouth, he was talking about Old Monster Xu.

"I met him yesterday at the premiere of "Private Order". The two of them had a chat and thought they could work together to adapt "Taking Tiger Mountain by Wisdom" into a 3D blockbuster!"

Yu Dong was also stunned, "Outwit, Weihu Mountain?"

He understands making blockbusters. He was a little confused about the theme of "Taking Tiger Mountain Outsmarted".

In today's movie market, young people are the main moviegoers. The average moviegoing age may not be more than 25 years old. How could they be interested in this kind of subject matter?

"Director Jiang, is this Mr. Xu's idea?"

"Of course not, I figured it out!"

"That's really surprising!"

Yu Dong looked embarrassed and immediately said: "This subject has a limited audience. Not that many people like to watch it, right?"

Jiang Heng smiled, "It all depends on how the movie is made. As long as the movie is good, young people will also like it!"

Yu Dong cursed, "I don't know that a film needs to be good-looking. The question is how to make it good-looking!"

Jiang Heng continued: "I talked about the plot outline with Mr. Xu yesterday. He went back to write the script, and you will be responsible for the project. If he needs a screenwriter team, you will recruit people here!"

"Then, the investment is also made in the name of Bona?"

Jiang Heng said: "Why, you don't want to?"

Yu Dong smiled coquettishly, "Xu Ke and I are old friends, and I still know his abilities. His ups and downs are too unstable. The 'Dragon King of the Divine City' at the beginning of the year really cost Huayi a lot." !”

Jiang Heng smiled and said: "Old Monster Xu is a capable director, but he is also too individual. It is really not suitable for ordinary companies, but I think we can do it.

If you don't want to, I'll ask this side to provide money and manpower! "

Hearing this, Yu Dong hurriedly said: "No, no, I just hesitated for a moment, isn't this an agreement?"

Jiang Heng smiled and said, "That's it, isn't it? For this show, I will be the producer and you will be the supervisor. If necessary, we can arrange for a few more guest stars from the company!"

Yu Dong's eyes lit up when he heard this, and he said with a smile: "Director Jiang, actually we don't need so many guest stars, just one of you is enough!"

"I?"

Jiang Heng thought for a while and said with a smile: "We'll discuss this later, let's talk about the announcement of the sequel to "Legend of Soldiers"!"

Yu Dong smiled, "You don't have to worry about it, everything is in order! The distribution in overseas markets will continue as usual, and the domestic premiere ceremony will still be held in Beijing, at the Olympic Sports Center, and we are all old partners!"

Jiang Heng nodded slightly, "I can rest assured that you are doing the work!" (End of Chapter)
