Chapter 639: Fighting with the Boss for a Woman?
"Too explicit!" Before Zhou Xun and An Xiaoxi could say anything, Hao Yun objected without hesitation:
"Even if we add some elements in this aspect, it has to be hazy and hazy. It's not good to point it out, let alone a kissing scene."
He, the leading male actor, doesn't even have a kiss.
Why do the two heroines have to kiss each other? It's so unfair!
"e=(o`*)))Alas"
How could Xu Ke not know this truth?
"Painted Skin" mainly plays with the artistic conception on the emotional level, the kind of hazy that seems to be true but is not.
If it really goes on a large scale, it will lose its true meaning.
It's just that his movies often have the plot obey the picture.
This kind of picture that he thinks will be so beautiful that it will leave a mark in film history, he feels uncomfortable if he doesn't shoot it.
After "The Legend of Zu", he hasn't had a highlight shot for a long time.
"Director Xu, I like the hazy beauty you shoot, that's what's called seductive." Zhou Xun also hurriedly persuaded Xu Ke to give up the idea.
Those who have died know that if you don't commit suicide, you won't die.
She has just joined Heidou Media for a few days, and you let her compete with the boss for a woman?
"Ah!" An Xiaoxi only reacted now.
Fortunately, Zhou Xun also opposed this, otherwise she would really kick Zhou Xun away. I just treat you as a best friend, but you actually want to sleep with me!
But she has nothing to worry about.
There is a kind of blind trust in Hao Yun, and Hao Yun is indeed firmly opposed to playing such gimmicks.
"Forget it, I'll think about how to shoot it beautifully."
Xu Ke felt very sorry, but since the three of them were against it and were unwilling to sacrifice for art, he had no choice.
Hao Yun hurriedly announced the start of work and changed the subject.
He didn't hate watching beautiful women sticking to each other, but he couldn't cheat his old classmates.
This kind of film is unlikely to win a big award.
The subsequent shooting was not smooth, and Xu Ke couldn't help because the cows didn't cooperate at all.
A few days after the shooting started, only five of the six cows were left.
One of them died.
The entire crew was very sad and held a funeral for the cow actor.
The more the cow was cremated, the more fragrant it became.
There was no other way, everyone understood.
The five remaining cows must take responsibility and finish the filming smoothly.
Hao Yun didn't want to spend money to buy cows again.
The crew had a lot of money, but it was not so expensive. Hao Yun never did things like cooking accounts.
He had to think of a way.
This thought really came to him.
Photograph the attributes!
If Nai Xi can be photographed, why can't the cow be photographed.
Photograph the attributes of the cow to Huang Bo, and take some attributes from the cow, such as affinity, physical strength, etc., and photograph them all on Huang Bo.
Huang Bo didn't think there was anything wrong.
Because although he didn't eat and sleep with the cows recently, he did everything by himself, such as feeding, milking, and combing.
It was like he was going to fall in love with the cows.
Give him some cow attributes, and he will feel that his purpose of getting close to cows has been achieved.
Now he can understand cows, that is, he has cow smell.
After Huang Bo has some cow attributes, cows are also closer to him, and several consecutive shots are almost done in one go.
Xu Ke was stunned.
Because even if it was him, it would be impossible to shoot so smoothly. Could it be that this cow is very special?
Or maybe a cow was killed and roasted a few days ago, and the remaining cows felt a sense of crisis and began to try to show their loyalty.
After Xu Ke stayed for a few days, he first discussed the script, then the scenery, and special effects.
The scenery and special effects are big projects, and Xu Ke needs to follow up on this matter.
The two have clear division of labor.
Hao Yun began to prepare to attract investment for "Painted Skin".
By mid-November, he and Xu Ke had first verified the total cost of "Painted Skin".
80 million!
The cost is so high, but the salary is not so outrageous.
Hao Yun, Zhou Xun, and An Xiaoxi all made less than 10 million yuan, which is considered a low-paid performance.
These days, it is unrealistic to make a lot of money from film pay.
But after the movie became popular, any endorsement can easily beat the pay.
Then there is Xu Ke's director fee plus producer fee of 1.5 million yuan.
Hao Yun's director fee is also 1.5 million yuan.
The real money is spent on the production and promotion of the movie.
Hao Yun obviously wants to make a fine movie to lay the foundation for "Life of Pi" and let all kinds of investors believe that he can handle such a big production.
Xu Ke actually hopes to reduce the cost to 100 million yuan.
After all, he spent 80 million yuan on "The Legend of Zu Mountain". The higher the cost, the easier it is for everyone to make money.
If the market in Hong Kong had not collapsed, 1.5 million yuan would not be worth his effort.
But he will also invest in this movie.
Since he is also the producer, there is no need to be so serious about the director's fee.
In order to attract investment, Hao Yun returned to the capital.
I found the investors I usually work with, and first called to discuss and see which investors are interested.
Then I invited the investors who are interested to have a meeting.
The producer Shi Nansheng helped introduce the details of the project, as well as market analysis, etc.
Xu Ke and Hao Yun, two top directors of the new and old generations, joined forces.
Hao Yun, An Xiaoxi, Zhou Xun, a fantastic cast.
The story is based on the classic story in the classic IP.
The special effects team is excellent, but they are not blindly sucked for the sake of gimmicks.
Action director Hong Jingbao is not only an action star, but also a top martial arts director.
He directed the action films "The Legend of the Condor Heroes: East is Red, West is West", "Ashes of Time", etc.
His last action director work was "Kung Fu".
But he was rejected by Stephen Chow halfway through and replaced by Yuan Heping, which caused quite a stir in the circle.
No one has found a martial arts director for two years.
The star is too big, even Stephen Chow can't control him, let alone other directors.
However, Hao Yun is not worried about this.
Xu Ke has a transcendent status in the Hong Kong film industry, so there is no problem that he can't control Hong Jingbao.
Hong Jingbao once played Baimei in "The Legend of Zu Mountain", a very classic film and television image.
Hong Kong director, Hong Kong martial arts director, and Hong Kong capital, although there are no Hong Kong movie stars, this movie is definitely a co-production, and it can be taken to the Academy Awards.
There is indeed capital coming from Hong Kong, that is, Yang Shoucheng's movie king.
Before the start, Hao Yun explained the situation.
On his side, Heidou Media got 10%, Aunt Liu got 10%, Jiang Wen got 10%, and the newly established Anhao Film and Television also got 10%. This was the first time that Anhao Film and Television had made a move.
This 10% was 8 million.
It was no longer the small-scale deal as before.
It was not that he did not want to take more, but that he could not afford it. 20% was 16 million, and he could not afford it even if Hao Yun was sold.
Most of the money he earned before was used to pay off the mortgage and do renovations.
But in general, Hao Yun still got 40% and became the largest producer of the movie.
This at least represents an attitude, that is, Hao Yun has confidence in the movie.
Shi Nansheng is indeed eloquent, but no matter how well she speaks, it is not as convincing as this 40%.
Shi Nansheng and Xu Ke also got 10%.
Xu Ke had more than this little money, but he was not sure how much the movie could make.
If the cost is 80 million, the box office must be at least 200 million to make money. The film market in Hong Kong cannot be relied on. It would be the best if it could have a box office of 30 million Hong Kong dollars like "Baby Project".
Since Hao Yun and Xu Ke have both paid, the other investors will no longer hesitate.
Huayi took 10%, Guangxian Media took 10%, Yinghuang took 10%, then Huaying took 10%, and Bona Films took 10%.
They are all relatively integers.
Some people want to take more, such as Guangxian Media and Bona, and the two even want to take the remaining 50%.
But Hao Yun needs Huayi and Huaying to help fight piracy.
These days, piracy is rampant.
If there is no piracy, a movie with a box office of 70 million can definitely exceed 100 million.
The box office success of "Those Years" and "Whiplash" is not unrelated to the joint efforts of several investors to fight piracy.
If Hao Yun plays alone, he really has no other way except to curse.
In order to integrate resources and jointly combat piracy, it is unavoidable to select powerful film and television companies for cooperation.
After the investment was obtained, Xu Ke went to work on the shooting location and set.
Fortunately, Gao Qunshu came to the set to help.
He can also provide some attributes for Hao Yun, and he is no stranger to anti-Japanese war films.
An Xiaoxi had an event to attend, so she stayed in the crew for a few days and then left.
As the weather got colder, all the idle people left the crew.
When Hao Yun was bored, he sat on the wall of the yard and played the erhu. The main exercise was "Erquan Yingyue", and the crew members who played it frequently were depressed.
His erhu level is already very high.
When the time comes, just take a photo of the attributes on your body, and you can go to take the tenth-level certificate.
If the system can reward a piece of music played on the erhu, he will put it in the new album.
