At first, I just wanted to make money

Chapter 507 Resolved
According to the idea of ​​a blockbuster film: a "big" level film work that integrates a big director, a big star, a big production, and a big investment.

"Exquisite Ancient City" is completely based on the promotion of domestic blockbusters.

As the opening chapter of "Ghost Blowing the Lantern", the actors must be internationalized...

Now there is a problem with the international chapter...

Either add money or replace someone.

Those who are riding horses are about to turn on the machine, and this has happened!

Gao Fenfen, Xu Ke and Shi Nansheng are all here.

"Why don't we let Director Han come forward? China Film Group also accounted for 30% of the investment!"

"No, even if they give Han Dong face, they don't give us face." Shen Xudong shook his head: "They clearly look down on us, so they rush to kneel and lick us. Is it interesting?"

Gao Fenfen also said: "That's right, I heard that she is going to make three films with the Weinstein Company..."

"Crap," Shen Xudong pouted, "Where did Harvey get the money to shoot three movies? No one has invested in all his Asian film funds so far!"

Gao Fenfen was puzzled: "You know?"

"Nonsense, there are not many people in Hollywood who are optimistic about Zhang Ziyi, these so-called projects... just PPT!"

"Then...why did she raise the price?"

"Maybe it's the agent's idea..."

"Agent? Her brother?"

"Um…"

Gao Fenfen immediately said: "Her brother is simply speechless, the Chinese New Year at the Rose Ball in Morocco..."

She's famously saying 'Dancing is okay, pay extra! ' thing...

Brother International is really a master at cheating girls. He also set up a cultural company to collect money wantonly in the name of Zhang Ziyi...

"Let's change people. Who knows if there will be any troubles during the filming. Besides, we are a series. She asked for 800 million US dollars for the first part. Wouldn't it be 1000 million for the second part?"

Shen Xudong looked at Xu Ke and Shi Nansheng: "Director Xu, Sister Shi, what do you think?"

Xu Ke shook his head: "I don't have any good recommendations. If Brigitte Lin was 20 years younger..."

"If Brigitte Lin was 20 years younger, you wouldn't even need to ask..."

Chen Xi interjected: "Yesterday I went to see Chen Hao...she's a little... plump! She's filming "Paper Drunk" and just gained 20 catties..."

"Where is Tang Yan?"

Shi Nansheng shook his head: "She is too soft... She looks very hard, but she is very soft when she speaks!"

"...How about we find Liu Yifei?"

"Not old enough, she's only 19 years old..."

Then came the actor recommendation, Shi Nansheng asked: "How is Shu Qi?"

Shen Xudong shook his head: "I don't like her very much..."

"Any recommendations from Jiahe?"

"Miriam Yeung..."

Xu Ke shook his head: "...I want to hit girls!"

"It's not about beating women. Let's analyze it. Shirley Yang is a graduate of the Naval Academy in Annapolis. She has served in the US Navy for several years and resigned to become a photographer. She can play with guns, fight and sail; her father is an archaeologist. , The family background is good, and it should be influenced by the family, there will be a feeling of poetry and bookishness. Simply put, it should be the kind that is very feminine but somewhat neutral..."

"What about age?"

"28 years old or so!"

Hearing this, Shi Nansheng suddenly said: "Maggie Q!"

"She can't speak Chinese..." Shen Xudong shook his head, and then said to Xu Ke: "...Director Xu, Sister Shi, how about we start the machine three months later, and I can make Chen Hao lose 30 catties!"

"Three months late?"

Shen Xudong said: "I have "Embroidered Spring Knife" here, you can turn it on right away..."

"...It's your novel, I've read it, I thought I'd finish filming "Exquisite Ancient City" and then make this one..."

"I've already discussed with Golden Harvest, the only thing I need is a director..."

"Who did you find as a martial arts instructor?"

"Dong Wei...I talked to him about action fighting, try not to fly up... let the strength of Diao Weiya not go up but down, so that the character can bend down and sideways in a posture that ordinary people can't do, to come Dodging the opponent's moves or stabbing a deadly sword, the movements will become very smooth and sharp!"

"Wia's force is down? How to do it?"

"Look..." Shen Xudong took out his pen and started sketching...

Then...the two of them had a heated exchange on fighting design...

Shi Nansheng was a little speechless...

Gao Fenfen and Chen Xi were a little confused, didn't they discuss "The Ancient City of Essence"?

This…

……

Xu Ke and Shi Nansheng left contentedly.

"Embroidered Spring Knife" will be launched in mid-October...

"What about "Exquisite Ancient City"?"

"Anyway, Zhang Ziyi is not going to act, so we will leave it to our own people. Chen Hao is the most suitable..."

Shen Xudong continued: "And judging from "The Banquet", Zhang Ziyi probably doesn't have much appeal..."

"Night Banquet", from the publicity to the film review, is all about Uncle Ge, even if Zhang Ziyi is mentioned, it is Zhou Xun's acting skills that beat Zhang Ziyi.

Gao Fenfen shook her head: "I mean, if Zhang Ziyi doesn't accept the call, the investment may shrink!"

"...it's okay," Shen Xudong said calmly, "I don't believe anyone who wants to divest without stopping. Without Zhang Ziyi, I wouldn't be able to make "Exquisite Ancient City". The cost remains the same, and I will make up for the difference!"

Chen Xi interjected: "1.2 million... plus 1.5 million promotion codes, if we don't have overseas markets, we won't be able to recover the cost at all."

"Just as a preview for the second part... Besides, who said there is no overseas market, Golden Harvest is responsible for the distribution in Southeast Asia..."

Chen Xi looked at Gao Fenfen, who nodded helplessly: "Okay, you've decided...then I'll find them."

Shen Xudong 'hmm' for a while, and then said: "...I'm quite angry about this...Why did Zhang Ziyi reject us?"

"...she has a manager..."

"Don't get involved with other people, whether it's an agent or not. In the final analysis, we don't have a good reputation. If we are Warner Bros. or Disney, can she refuse?"

"So, "The Ancient City of Essence" is not only going to be done, but also a high-quality product...Chen Xi, you go to Perfect World Company tomorrow and get 5000 million sponsors...The copyright of the game "Ghost Blowing Lantern" has been signed to them, and I told me before that I want to invest Movie play..."

"Perfect World Company...oh, okay!"

"Sister Gao," Shen Xudong continued, "Go and negotiate with China Film and Shanghai Film. If they don't want to invest, let's return the funds to them...Xiangshan..."

Chen Xi immediately said: "The Xiangshan side should be fine..."

"That's good…"

"Wait a minute," Gao Fenfen frowned, "When did the project "Embroidered Spring Knife" start?"

"...started three days ago..."

"Three days?"

"...I can't really make Xu Ke wait for three months, can I?"

"Embroidered Spring Knife" was indeed the work that Shen Xudong called the person in charge of Jiahe directly when Zhang Ziyi received the price increase, and then approved the project as quickly as possible.

The actors are Duan Yihong, Deng Chao, and Xie Miao. The villain found An Zhijie, and Wu Jing and Zhang Yi made cameo appearances.

Why are you in such a hurry?
Because Xu Ke's schedule is very precious, a bunch of film companies are looking for him.

Make him wait for three months for "Exquisite Ancient City"?
Impossible!
In fact, it is not impossible for Shu Qi and Maggie Q to play Shirley Yang, but Shen Xudong is not willing. Anyway, it is not as famous as Zhang Ziyi, so it is better to arrange for her own people...

After chatting for a while, Shen Xudong thought of something: "I posted a draft on the company's official website, saying that the heroine's price has been temporarily increased, and the shooting of "The Ancient City of Essence" has been postponed for three months!"

Chen Xidao: "...they didn't sign the actor's contract, they just agreed verbally..."

"Ma Dan... she will regret it sooner or later!"

After uttering a harsh word, Shen Xudong took out his phone—the phone has been vibrating since just now, and after reading the text message... he couldn't help grinning: "Hey, I knew it!"

"…What's wrong?"

""Human Purge" opened in North America with a three-day box office of $3250 million!"
