Chapter 733

"Lao Zhang, you feel comfortable now."

Director Chen looked at Lao Mouzi with envy.

Lao Mouzi was stunned when he heard this: "Why, you said this suddenly?"

Feng Tongtong on the side said considerately: "Lao Chen has not had good luck recently. He wants to start a big project, but... no one invests..."

"No way, Brother Chen still needs investors?" Jiang Wen said with a look of disbelief.

Director Chen is really bad, Wuji also ruined his reputation, but last year's "Search" made Director Chen stand up a little bit. After all, he has won the top three, and he is also one of the top three in the country. Commercial director, there is also a real estate bonus, so no one can invest in it?

Lao Chen sighed: "The investment is too big and others dare not take it."

Lao Mouzi asked curiously: "How big of a project is it?"

"In fact, it's not much, only 400 million."

As soon as these words came out, Lao Mouzi, Feng Pengtong, and Jiang Wen couldn't help but twitch their mouths. This is not much. With an investment of 400 million, it would take at least 800 million in box office to break even. Among the current domestic movies, except for Wan Zhongshan Currently, the only ones that can reach 800 million are Let the Bullets Fly, Cheng Long’s Twelve Zodiac Signs, and Journey to the West: Conquering the Demons.

Feng Pants' peak, Tangshan Earthquake, only had a box office of 700 million, but the investment was not that big, and Feng Pants filmed Tangshan Earthquake. Before they could film it, the government provided enough money, and the box office was a pure profit.

Lao Mouzi looked at his old friend with a wry smile on his wrinkled bark face.

"Old Chen, your investment amount is too high. Who dares to take it?"

"There are a lot of rich people, but... they don't even appreciate it!" Director Chen said angrily, as if you all don't understand me.

Lao Mouzi... Listen to what you are saying. Are you talking about human words? How many investors have you deceived yourself... .

"What movie are you planning to make? The investment is so big?" Jiang Wen couldn't help but ask.

Lao Mouzi and Feng Pants were also very curious.

"I'm going to make a martial arts movie!"

Feng Tongtong was stunned when he heard this: "Martial arts movies???? What if Chen's martial arts movies haven't been completed in the past two years? You are still making martial arts movies and investing so much..."

"That's because they didn't shoot it well. It will definitely be different when I go on stage."

Feng Pants... You've never made a martial arts movie at all, you bastard! ! ! !

"Is there a script?" Lao Mouzi looked at Director Chen and asked.

"Well, I'm going to adapt it. Xu Haofeng's Taoist priest is coming down the mountain."

Jiang Wen asked: "Is he the screenwriter of The Grandmaster?"

Director Chen nodded: "Yes, that's him. I personally wrote the script. Now I'm just missing an investor. I've already decided who to cast as the actor."

"There are many people in the industry who can afford this project, but not many, Lao Chen." Feng Pengtong opened his mouth and wanted to persuade him.

Director Chen sighed: "I know, how about you give Mr. Wang a message?"

Feng Trousers... I'll hand you a piece of cake, brother, back then you almost bankrupted the Chinese with Qin Song, and Wang Zhongjun wanted to hack you to death. Why, you made money by cooperating with Xi'an Cultural Tourism Real Estate Sorry, Wang Zhongjun has almost lost his pants. If you come back, if you lose money again, I will still take the blame for you.

"What, Lao Chen, Xu Ke's Flying Swords of Dragon Gate is less than 600 million. The people hired are Li Lianjie, Mr. Zhou, and Chen Kun. He is the pinnacle of martial arts movies. You... 400 million investment , if you go to the Chinese Army, he will definitely not vote for you, and...have you forgotten about Qin Song? He is notoriously petty. "

Director Chen immediately became unhappy when he heard this: "Qin Song lost money, and it's not because of me."

Feng Pants...it doesn't matter who you depended on. You agreed to pay 15 million at the beginning, but later the budget was not enough, so you asked for another 10 million. For most of the filming, you said it was not enough and added another 10 million. In the end, it was not enough, and again TM asked for 5 million, Brother, you are eating money. Although supplementary budgets are common in the industry, you have gone too far. You have added 3 times and spent 40 million. Wang Zhongjun and Wang Zhonglei have been tricked by you, and there is no black money. You are so dark, brother.

Feng Pengtong didn't even want to fight back, he held it back.

When Director Chen saw that there was no chance, he immediately looked at Lao Mouzi.

"Old Zhang, why don't you give me a clue?"

Lao Mouzi immediately shook his head and refused.

"Can't hold it."

Director Chen looked at Lao Mouzi angrily: "I asked you to lead the way, but you are not willing? We have been friends for so many years!"

Lao Mouzi said quickly: "I haven't finished speaking yet. You misunderstood me. Wan Zhongshan is famous for having no shortage of scripts. For all projects, the scripts will be written in advance and then sent to the evaluation center. After passing the review, a project quotation will be given. This quotation is usually in line with the budgeted price, and there will be an agreement. Even if I match you with your martial arts drama and Mr. Shen agrees to invest, I will not give you so much. It’s not that I won’t help you with the budget.”

Director Chen frowned when he heard this and said, "Then how do you make money?"

Feng Pengteng said with a smile: "Old Chen, you don't know, Mr. Shen is famous for being rewarded for his merits. The director enjoys the right to dividends and extra big red envelopes. Old Chen's one-year contract is 20 million, There’s no need to figure out how to make money yourself.”

"This is against the rules." Director Chen said a little dissatisfied. This is an unspoken rule for directors to get some project funds. It has been this way for so many years.

Jiang Wen laughed out loud.

"Director Chen, now Mr. Shen, what he says is the rule, and his rules are the rules."

Director Chen.............
