Chapter 612 Infernal Affairs II
"Jiahui"
After laughing twice, Director Du looked at Chen Jiahui aside and said, "We have already discussed the release of "Gunfire" this morning. Next, you may not know that our company has already invested in "Infernal Affairs" 2."
It’s ready, and the actors’ schedules have begun to be coordinated, so…”
"understand"
Chen Jiahui nodded.
Mountaineering Entertainment agreed with Director Du to help him make a movie, and the script of "Infernal Affairs" 2 was the condition. After thinking about it, Chen Jiahui turned to his father-in-law and said, "Dad, you and Gangcheng Cinema, and MMS Entertainment
How did you talk about it!?"
"It depends on what you mean"
Zhou Yu had a thought in his mind and immediately spoke.
"I'll take 15%, and you can discuss the rest among yourselves. I'll get the script now."
After making his request, Chen Jiahui stopped caring about the matter. He believed that Zhou Yu would help him negotiate with several parties. In fact, similar to a project like "Infernal Affairs" 2, which is a guaranteed profit, he could have done it himself
Full investment.
But that's not how the game works.
In the first part, several parties made money by investing in it. If you don't let them play in the second part, it would be just to attract hatred. The key point is that "Infernal Affairs" can achieve such a high box office thanks to the cooperation of several parties.
Chen Jiahui cannot handle the film scheduling rate of a theater alone.
This cooperation is obviously also beneficial to the film schedule of "Gunfire". If you want to come to Hong Kong City Cinema, it will give him a lot of face as a collaborator. The competition is concentrated in the Spring Festival period. There are not many blockbusters released in January. By then, 2%
It should be easy to negotiate a film scheduling rate of over ten.
Therefore, if we cooperate again, the advantages will always outweigh the disadvantages.
When Director Du heard about fifteen percent, he frowned slightly, but after thinking about it, he didn't say anything. In the end, several parties would have to sit down to discuss the investment ratio.
But Chen Jiahui’s 15% is indeed slightly higher.
Because the character Chen Yongren in the first film has died. On the contrary, if this character has not died and Chen Jiahui continues to star, let alone 15%, even 20%, with Chen Jiahui's status as an amphibious actor, he still has a chance.
talk.
After all, after Chen Jiahui won this award, his salary would be at least starting with seven characters, and he would have to add 3 to 5 percent of the box office share, and he is the screenwriter, so there is basically no suspense about 20 percent.
It's just that Chen Yongren is dead, so he can't play the role.
This also means that the box office performance of the second part will most likely not be as good as the first one.
Picking up the teacup, Director Du took a few sips, then looked at Zhou Changwu, who was still sitting on the sofa, and said, "The guy named Zhang Song in your studio is very popular now. I heard that many big productions have approached him, but you
Why is this boss so idle!?"
“Not idle”
Zhou Changwu smiled at Director Du and said, "Wouldn't this help him negotiate for front-line production!? Since my brother-in-law is not starring, the male lead position must be vacant. Uncle Du, you know Zhang Song's acting skills.
It should be okay for him to play the male lead.”
"Yes, yes, yes"
Zhou Yu seemed to have woken up. When he looked at his little daughter, he felt an inexplicable appreciation. Then he said to Director Du, "Old Du, Zhang Song is good at acting. While he is popular now, you can really invite him to be the male lead."
"No. 1"
actually.
Making TV series and making movies are completely different things.
The acting skills of some actors look good in TV dramas, but they are not good enough in movies. Movies mainly use lens language to promote the narrative carrier. It has all kinds of scenes, medium and close, and each one will be based on the content.
When carving, you must also consider its movement, light, color, and composition.
TV dramas, on the other hand, use dialogue lines to drive the narrative, and their content is often looser.
To put it simply, a 90-minute movie may have more panoramic shots than a 40-episode TV series. There is a popular metaphor in Hong Kong, "TV series is the art of screenwriters, and movies are the art of directors."
So there is a big difference between the two.
An actor who can act in good movies can definitely act in TV series, but good TV actors can't always act in movies.
It's just that Zhang Song is an artist in his youngest daughter's studio, so Zhou Yu naturally wants him to play the role. As for whether Zhang Song can perform well, it depends on whether the acting requirements for the male lead in "Infernal Affairs" written by Chen Jiahui are high.
After a while.
Chen Jiahui took the printed script back downstairs.
In order to make it easier for her father-in-law and Director Du to read, Chen Jiahui printed two copies. Director Zhou, who was the center of the topic just now, really couldn't stand the fact that she suddenly turned into a transparent person, so she pulled the coffee table in front of the sofa, and Zhou Yu
He glanced at her and put the script on the coffee table very sensibly.
The father and daughter read the script bit by bit.
Director Du also held the script and started reading it. He was very curious about what Chen Jiahui said about the plot of the prequel. As for being better than the first one, Director Du didn't expect it at all, as long as the quality didn't differ too much.
The first sentence at the beginning is.
"A means nothing, nose means name, it is timeless, it is spaceless, it is the realm of receiving immeasurable karma and retribution."
Director Du raised his head and glanced at Chen Jiahui, who was holding the little girl in his arms and watching cartoons with her. This sentence is easy to understand. Those who do not have credibility will inevitably suffer great suffering.
In an old office.
Officer Chen said, "I was patrolling Hanoi Road with a senior brother. We received a notification there that a case had occurred in the New World. We both rushed there immediately. When we arrived at the scene, we saw dozens of people wielding knives and sticks and fighting with weapons. There were more than a dozen people fighting.
One of them had fallen to the ground. There was a lot of blood on the ground. I even saw a severed hand holding a knife. My senior brother asked me to shoot. I was a rookie at the time. I would do whatever my senior brother said, right? Who knows?
Before I had time to open the holster, my senior brother had already plopped down in front of me. I saw that boy inserting an iron pipe into his stomach. The blood kept flowing out from there. My head was in a state of confusion at that time.
Blank, all I know is that I shot all six bullets into that kid. I don’t remember exactly how many years he was sentenced later... Two years ago, I met that kid again..."
Director Du looked at it very carefully.
Just from the beginning, he felt that the play was a bit lacking in stamina.
The lines are not as deep as the first one,
However, he was not impatient. Instead, he continued to read patiently. It was not until he saw the sentence "Killing people and setting fires with gold belts, repairing bridges and repairing roads without corpses" that he found some feeling.
Then look down.
After a while, Director Du already discovered that the plot of this drama was not as intense and concentrated as the first one, and the space for character creation was also extremely limited. It was not until Ni Yongxiao appeared that Director Du was stunned.
A hot pot scene is over.
Director Du immediately had the most straightforward impression of this character.
Gentle and elegant, thoughtful, powerful but not aggressive, calm and restrained.
"this role"
Zhou Yu suddenly raised his head, with a look of disbelief on his face. As the godfather of Hong Kong City, of course he knew what other big guys were like. Because of this, he could truly feel that this character was pioneering.
Director Du looked at him and slowly spoke out the name of an actor.
Chapter completed!
