The port city in mid-to-late July.

The night was extremely hot. After Director Zhang and his partner Zhang Ping were kicked out of the house by Director Feng who did not understand etiquette, they did not leave directly by car.

Holding a bottle of liquor that Director Feng thrust into his hand, Director Zhang stood beside the car, as if thinking about something.

"What!? Are you tempted!?"

Zhang Ping asked with a smile.

Director Zhang did not answer.

Faced with such a script, how could he not be tempted? You must know that directors have never been able to resist good dramas, especially the script written by Chen Jiahui is so profound.

Seeing that Director Zhang remained silent, Zhang Ping, who has known him for 20 to 30 years and worked with him many times, couldn't help but sigh: "Once this script is filmed, it may not make a lot of money, but it will definitely win awards and be soft. I guess

Lao Feng has also seen this. In addition to winning awards, it may even become a landmark film in the film industry. Mad, they say there are geniuses in this world. I really didn’t believe it earlier, but now I have to believe it.

, I really don’t know how that boy Chen Jiahui has such a big head. It’s just that the commercial films are well written, and even this kind of drama film is so well written.”

Director Zhang, who had been standing next to the car for a long time, finally spoke.

However.

His first sentence really exceeded Zhang Ping's expectations.

It was not that I wanted to go to Chen Jiahui to see if I could give him the script for filming, but he said, "What is the relationship between Chen Jiahui and Guan Xiao? Have they ever slept together!?"

As soon as this question came up.

Zhang Ping was suddenly stunned.

Then, he couldn't help but laugh and said, "How would I know that? I wasn't lying under the bed and eavesdropping."

However, since his old partner asked, he also expressed his own point of view, saying, "It should be impossible. Firstly, both of them have been married. Secondly, Director Wu's "Dark War" trilogy,

It’s no use Guan Xiao, just when we are about to have that kind of relationship, I think the female lead will already be Guan Xiao’s.”

He thought so.

It is also well-founded. According to the long-standing practice in the entertainment industry, as long as an investor often uses a certain female lead, there must be some kind of relationship between the two that everyone knows well, but Chen Jiahui also gave Guan Xiao a

The script, and he heard that Chen Jiahui spent a lot of money because he attended Guan Xiao's son's full moon party and was teased by the people around him because he didn't bring any gifts.

As for Chen Jiahui's appearance, it seems that he still received a lot of salary, which is enough to show that the relationship between the two is just good friends, and there is no deeper communication and development.

"Whether there is or not, I have to be more careful in the future. What I did last time was indeed a bit too much."

Obviously.

Director Zhang already has the intention to cooperate with Chen Jiahui.

Now that "Alive" is in the hands of Director Feng, based on Director Zhang's understanding of him, unless he takes the path of Chen Jiahui, he will definitely not be able to get the script from Director Feng for filming.

Therefore, this script was destined to have no chance with him. When he thought of this, Director Zhang felt extremely regretful.

Really... the script "Alive" is one of the best scripts he has seen in recent years. As long as a script like this is shot well, it is really a landmark work for a director.

Even if it takes a loss, it is not necessary to lose money. Even if it is a feature film, "Alive" is produced by Chen Jiahui. Just these three words "Chen Jiahui" can bring the movie a guaranteed box office of 300 to 400 million yuan.

Thinking of remembering something, Director Zhang suddenly said, "Add a female character to "Sniper" and let Ye Xuan play it."

"You..."

Zhang Ping didn't know what to say.

He finally saw that his old partner was really attracted by the script "Alive", but after thinking about it, he nodded and said, "I'll discuss it with the screenwriter when I get back."

Regarding this.

He didn't object.

On the contrary, he also felt that Director Zhang's move was very wise.

You know, Zhang Ping heard that Chen Jiahui has a high-quality commercial script in his hands. If there is an opportunity for cooperation, it would be exciting to think about it.

Chen Jiahui's commercial scripts are recognized in the entertainment industry as being prone to hits.

One billion guaranteed, there is a 30% chance of two billion, and a 10% chance of three billion. If we cooperate, the benefits will definitely be much better than the scripts written by Lao Zhang himself or the scripts purchased.

certainly.

If Chen Jiahui is willing to star again, there is basically no suspense about the box office exceeding 1.5 billion. But I don’t know what’s going on. At this time, Chen Jiahui seems to only be willing to take on movies that he has invested in. Other companies have offered a single movie worth 70 million.

Even though he was offered a salary, he still chose to refuse.

Such a high salary.

It is higher than the current Chen Gang, and only Li Tianlong can beat him. Otherwise, the salary of 70 million is basically the ceiling of the Hong Kong film industry. If it goes up again... Even if Chen Jiahui plays the role, many audiences are willing to buy it, but

The production pressure alone is not something that ordinary production companies can bear.

Unless Chen Jiahui, in addition to "Gu Bu Dagang", comes up with another movie that is also very popular abroad to prove that he also has box office appeal abroad.

The two of them dispersed and went home on Ningdong Road in Hong Kong City.

Director Zhang is already in his early sixties, but what does this person say!?

My appearance looked older when I was young, so even now in my early sixties, I still look the same as when I was young, except that my face has more wrinkles and deeper wrinkles.

However, physically, he is relatively strong among his peers, which is why he still has a good habit of walking three kilometers every morning no matter how busy he is. In addition to walking briskly day after day, year after year, he also has a reasonable diet and every year.

All adjustments are essential.

Return home.

After Director Zhang responded to his daughter who greeted him with a smile, he walked into the study alone. Unlike Director Zhou's study where he bought many books by cultural figures without even removing their covers, he read all the books in Director Zhang's study.

However, he read some of them more than once, especially books involving aesthetics, and he also took notes.

Sitting in the study, Director Zhang didn't make any plans for tomorrow's shooting. He usually made such things in advance before the shooting started, just to let the prop team arrange the shooting environment in advance.

Just like the filming of "Sniper" this time, because it was a winter scene, but it is summer now, so a lot of flower fertilizer was used to create a scene of heavy snow. As for actors filming winter scenes in summer, their costumes would cover up prickly heat.

In serious cases, heat stroke is possible, but these things are not within the scope of Director Zhang's consideration.

There is no way to make money without hard work.

What's more, after the actors complete the filming and get the corresponding remuneration, they don't need to bear the risk of the movie failing. The pressure is entirely on the producer and director.

There is no pressure to earn a dead salary, but it is inevitably a bit harder.

Those in lower positions work hard.

The person in the middle has to work hard, and the person in the upper position has to work hard. It is not easy for anyone. After sitting on the chair for a while, Director Zhang hesitated and directly dialed Director Feng's phone number and said, "Let me know in advance when the filming of "Alive" starts.

I'll be your assistant director."

"Drunk!?"

Director Feng asked doubtfully, "I remember you didn't drink too much tonight!?"

"You can't do this movie well."

Director Zhang said seriously.

"I haven't even taken the fucking photo yet!"

Feng Daoqi said, "I find that since the loss of "Golden Lotus", you all don't take me seriously anymore. Before the filming of the movie started, you said that I can't make it well. Lao Zhang, I'm warning you, your fucking young general will take me seriously."
Chapter completed!
