Chapter 350 Spending so much money, you always have to listen(1/3)

On September 11, after extensive publicity, the two films were released simultaneously in Wanjia and New Times Cinemas, and the creative team of Xiang Laoshi has already started a road show in Beijing.

In the ATV office, Zhao Donghuai was thinking about something with a speechless expression. He did not expect that after writing it, not only Xiaoxian wanted to star in it, but Zhang Min wanted to give it a try. Even Jiaxin said she could give it a try after hearing the news.

.

When it comes to taking photos of your youth, record your best moments with a video recorder? Can you remember them at any time throughout your life?

This project for hearing girls is really suitable.

Let’s talk about age? Ah Min is 22 years old, Xiao Xian is 23 years old, and Jia Xin is only 20 years old. Do you really want to play a girl who is about to take the college entrance examination? In terms of age, Ah Xin is the most suitable. There are many people who take the college entrance examination at the age of 20.

There is no shortage of repeat students in this era. Even after the millennium, there are still many repeat students. Talking about their age, Xiaoxian and Amin will not be out of the ordinary.

Faced with the competition between the three girls, even if Zhao Donghuai is not a soft-hearted person, he can only publicly say that you three should rely on your acting skills to compete.

The hearing girl is a healthy person, but she grew up in a family where both her parents and brothers are deaf-mute. Whether she is fishing or selling fish, she needs sign language to communicate with her family and the outside world.

Whoever has good acting skills and learns sign language well will be told who will star when filming actually starts.

In the same way, even if you make a white version, Winona Ryder still needs to learn sign language. Even if you hire Al Pacino to play the deaf-mute old father, you still need to learn sign language. He already called Al Pacino the day before yesterday.

Xino briefly described the book, and Al expressed great interest.

After he finishes filming, he will come to Hong Kong Island to prepare for the competition, and said that he will learn sign language from now on.

There’s no big problem. This dimension Al won the Oscar for the first time with the help of this Chinese-funded movie, and with the help of a movie, he won the Oscar for the second time.

He also always knew the value of Zhao's scripts. Zhao Donghuai wrote the script himself. Whether he did it for other purposes or to repay a favor, it was only a small matter for him to act in it.

The mother of the deaf mute is also scheduled to play Lola Fanna. It is said that Lola was invited by Hollywood after a big project before. With a salary of 6 million US dollars, she accepted a summer blockbuster in Hollywood this summer, with a North American box office of 1.03

Billions of dollars.

Rial Pacino also stars in the film, and he took over the film after finishing the film.

In this, Lola replaced Madonna in the original track, but she is popular enough! If she supports Madonna, she will also be popular.

The deaf-mute brother is Nicholas.

This kind of combination is really a luxurious lineup to star in a blockbuster film that is expected to win awards.

It’s the Chinese version. Except for the heroine, which is still undecided, the others are almost decided. The deaf-mute father is Di Long, the deaf-mute mother is Hu Huizhong, the deaf-mute brother Wu Zhenyu...

Everyone is learning sign language!

And to observe how real deaf-mute people live, and what kind of difficulties deaf-mute people face when fishing and selling fish, etc.

The movie project was launched in early September. When are we going to start shooting? It would be great to start shooting in December this year. Sign language and experiencing and observing life are not trivial things.

………………

Peninsula Hotel.

While sitting in the tea restaurant area and drinking afternoon tea, Mr. Wu from Zhushe scanned the left and right sides from time to time, including the Peninsula Hall. When he saw a graceful blond Yangma walking in from the door, his eyes suddenly lit up.

After a while, after observing Dayang Ma for dozens of seconds, he waved to the waiter. When the waiter came, Lao Wu took out a thousand-yuan Hong Kong dollar and asked, "Help me find out who Dayang Ma is and where he lives."

The waiter took a few glances, then smiled and said, "That's Merchen Amick, an actor from Hollywood. He said he was promoting Fox's movies."

Old Wu looked at the waiter in surprise.

The waiter continued to smile brightly, "Wu Sheng, a beautiful girl of this quality is always a highlight wherever she goes. As a man, I will naturally pay more attention to her."

"In order to promote the movie, you have to take the initiative to go to TV stations and newspapers. Murdoch is already pushing to print newspapers."

Lao Wu stuffed the thousand-yuan bill into the other person's pocket, "As long as he's an actor, you can try to contact me later and tell me that I have a new movie that I might shoot. Ask him if he's interested. If you are interested, you can call me anytime.

Telephone."

While joking, he also took out his business card.

Seeing the charming Amick in a red dress with high heels and black silk stockings, Old Wu had to admit that even though she was in the prosperous Hong Kong entertainment circle, Mei Chen Amick was still at the top level.

The big screen often shoots actors' faces to look a bit bigger. If you notice on the screen which beautiful or handsome actor has put on weight... in fact, when you see them in real life, you will find that the other person is not really put on weight.

Those who dare to leave a stunning figure on the big screen can see it up close in reality, which is an upgraded beauty impact.

The waiter asked in surprise, "Wu Sheng's Xiao Lin Boy is going to film the third part?"

Only then did Lao Wu complain, "No, I don't plan to film Xiaolin Boy for the time being. Let's hit the street. The two parts, Hong Kong Haowan and East Asia and Southeast Asia, each earned 20 to 30 million Hong Kong dollars, and the mainland earned more than 100 million yuan in total."

.”

"But I spent 25 million U.S. dollars twice on promotions in Europe and the United States. In the end, the profit was less than 3 million U.S. dollars, which is too little."

"Our company's next plan is to make blockbusters!"

Lao Wu was obviously stimulated. For example, Xiang Laoshi, Deng Yurong, Wang Yu and other people actually united and planned to shoot the Oriental version?

He also mobilized his men and asked them to try their best to find screenwriters, well-known screenwriters in Hong Kong's Haowan film and television industry, and prepare to find blockbuster stories and make blockbusters.

Within a year, the two movies only made a profit at the box office, and Europe, Canada and America had a net profit of more than 3 million U.S. dollars? More than 20 million Hong Kong dollars? A lot?

But comparing the two films within one year, he earned more than 100 million yuan in net profit from mainland theaters. It is obvious that the mainland earned more.

Over there in North America...he felt like he was losing blood!

Don’t forget that in the first Laughter, the adult heroine was Winona Ryder, and she was given a salary of 6 million Hong Kong dollars. In the second Laughter, the adult heroine was Nicole Kidman. He was enough

He gave the other party a salary of 8 million Hong Kong dollars.

Nicole Kidman has a higher status than Winona Ryder. After all, she is the heroine in one or two movies, the heroine, the white version of Hua Zi's girlfriend.

The high salary and the fact that the first and second parts cost 10 million U.S. dollars each, and 15 million U.S. dollars were announced, the net profit of the two European and American films was only over 3 million U.S. dollars, which made Old Wu very sad.

Now that he is sitting here, it is just that Zhu Yanping, under the offensive of spending a lot of money, said that he got a good script from a well-known screenwriter...

I'm waiting for Lao Zhu to report.

There was no script, but he discovered Mei Chen Amick? It's normal. Many talent scouts still see beautiful girls and handsome men passing by on the street and directly send them business cards to invite them to join the industry, such as Yuan Jieying.

Watching the waiter leave with his business card, Lao Wu picked up his tea cup and took a sip. He was in a good mood. Hong Kong Island actually has no shortage of white celebrities and pretty girls, but they are expensive.

Winona Ryder and Nicole Kidman, you can get them for 6 million or 8 million, but now you go to Jennifer Aniston or Cameron Diaz, Julia Roberts, etc.

?If you don’t get a check for 15 million Hong Kong dollars, you’d be embarrassed to ask, right?

Julia's salary has soared to 6 million U.S. dollars in Hollywood, so that's 46.8 million Hong Kong dollars for a movie!

Off the charts!

White female stars who are already famous cannot afford to hire them. Male stars like Bruce Willis are more expensive, right? So newcomers who have just entered the industry and have not made a big splash are the most popular ones.

After a while, after calling the waiter to change the tea twice, Old Wu saw Zhu Yanping who hurriedly walked into the hall. When he raised his hand to say hello, Zhu Yanping also turned around and walked over with joy. He sat down and drank as soon as he arrived.

Taking a sip of tea, "Brother Wu, it's almost done."

"I took an idea from a screenwriter named An Xi, called Archeology, Ancient City, and Adventure, and copied the idea of ​​the series. When it was released last year, it grossed US$474 million worldwide, which is equivalent to 3.69 billion Hong Kong dollars in box office!"

"As long as it's done well, it won't be worse than what Brother Wang and the others are preparing."

Lao Wu's eyes lit up, "Following the trend? It's a good idea."

There is a lot of plagiarism in articles all over the world. It is plagiarism. They found a screenwriter to copy the ancient tomb and ancient city adventure series. Isn’t it very stable?

When Lao Wu grabbed the egg tart and took a bite, he seemed to have just come to his senses. He frowned slightly and said, "Anxi? Why haven't I heard of this name?"

Zhu Yanping explained with a smile, "I started working as a screenwriter for ATV in 1977. I also wrote a movie in 1986, directed by David Chiang. It was an excellent depiction of marginalized people in society in Hong Kong movies in the 1980s."

"The three films are the best representatives."

"She is not a great talent in the world of screenwriting, but she is not bad either."

Old Wu thought for a while, "Where's the script?"

Zhu Yanping shook his head, "There is only an outline now. For example, the lost ancient city of Loulan was turned into an underground city, and modern people went to explore the secrets and hunt for treasures. The other things need to be perfected. Anyway, copy it according to the Raiders of the Lost Ark method, and the ancient Loulan country really does exist in reality."

"At worst, we can build an underground city in the northwest and use Loulan Ancient City for filming."

Old Wu touched his chin, "Okay, you'd better find a few screenwriters to help her improve it together. For a blockbuster movie, the script must not be bad. Wu Yusen came up with the first version of the script at the beginning of the month, and he is still under the direction of Director Lan.

, let him continue to improve and modify it."

"Poor that guy is doing a road show and saving a notebook at the same time."

The bigger the investment, the less careless it is.

The next moment, he smiled and said, "I accidentally discovered a beautiful white girl named Mei Chen Amick. I can try to contact her later. How can a beautiful girl be missing from the ancient tomb and ancient city adventure genre?"

"The ancient ruins of Loulan are built in the northwest. If we really want to take pictures, we have to be mentally prepared to spend several months or even half a year in the desert or Gobi."

Zhu Yanping rolled his eyes speechlessly, "I am the one who makes the plans. You are the producer who coordinates everything. What are you afraid of? Just deliver the supplies to us."

Old Wu laughed and said, "Haha, don't worry, as long as you take good pictures, the money will definitely be given to you! By the way, I heard that Mr. Li doesn't want to invest in the Taiping Wheel? I'll go visit him later and see what he thinks about this.

not interested."

"As the only investor, I'm really afraid of losing money. After all, it's a movie with big special effects. It feels safer to have Mr. Li on board."

"It's best to use the Li family's money to build the underground city of Loulan Ancient Kingdom and create special effects. Use his money to hire actors and publicity, and then we'll split the bill."

Zhu Yanping was stunned, "Go and lie to Lao Li?"

Lao Wu said indifferently, "How can this be called cheating? Can Wang Jiawei's filming Days of Being Wild be called cheating?"
