I have become top-tier, so I come to proficiency

Chapter 235 Adding money is the truth, the more you have to trust him

Several people chatted into the night.

They simply drank a few cups with Yuan Zheng.

Several big directors are a little bit drunk.

After chatting from all over the world, I finally returned to the film and television industry.

After all, they are all people who have been in the industry for more than ten or twenty years, so seeing the progress of the times and the constantly updated and iterative market, it is unavoidable to feel a little melancholy.

Yuan Zheng: "Oh, sometimes I just feel that I am old. A few years ago, I always felt that I was okay, but this time I suddenly found that I was a little powerless."

Zhang Huaimou smiled: "Yes, it's a market for young people now. If we old guys accept the reality quickly, we may really be eliminated."

Chen Anzhi shook his head: "Art has no age distinction. Good things still have their core competitiveness after all. Good is good. If no one really likes it, it only means that you are not good enough."

Shen Qiu nodded: "That's right."

Yuan Zheng thought for a while, then smiled and looked at the opposite side: "Look, don't we have a good one here, Su Mu, to be honest, with your conditions, as long as you work hard, you will definitely be able to go to the future in the near future. International ones, we must work hard.”

Su Mu was eating with Yuan Zheng and Yuan Shuang, when he heard what Yuan Zheng said, he turned his head and smiled and said, "Director Yuan, don't make trouble, I'm still far away, and I don't have any ambitions, I just get paid in China , it’s pretty good, as for whether to go internationally or not... it still depends on the salary, if it’s not as high as domestic, then go whoever you like.”

Yuan Zheng: "..."

Shen Qiu: "..."

Chen Anzhi: "..."

Zhang Huaimou: "Haha."

Yuan Lang: "!!!"

Yuan Shuang: "!!!"

At this moment, there was a moment of silence on the square table.

After hearing what Su Mu said, everyone looked at him in astonishment.

To be honest, it was the first time I saw such a realistic actor.

Call him stupid, he still knows how to make money, but if you say he is not stupid, he doesn't want to go to a higher international stage.

This really surprised many people, they didn't expect Su Mu to be like this.

Yuan Zheng: "Su Mu, you have such good conditions and you are still very young. Don't just look at the salary, you have to have a long-term vision and goal. Don't you want to go to a bigger stage? Then That's where you should go."

Su Mu: "No, my goal is quite long-term. Now my company is one billion, and the next goal is 100 billion!"

Yuan Zheng: "..."

Everyone: "..."

Completely speechless.

Nima, it's true that three sentences are inseparable from the salary.

In any case, all the directors present are great directors. In a deeper sense, they are artists who are engaged in art.

Is it a bit vulgar to withdraw money at this time?

Chen Anzhi: "Su Mu, in fact, this is not a conflict. Your current film salary is at the top in China. Even if you win another best actor in the past two years, that's all. stage."

Zhang Huaimou nodded: "I agree with what An Zhi said this time. At present, China's movies cover Southeast Asia at most, and it is difficult to enter the European market. Our Wandering Earth is an example. It is already the best one, but in fact the box office is low. Unfortunately, the main reason is that actors and film industry technology do not have international influence.

But once someone in Huaxia can truly go international and become the first star to be recognized by the whole world, then if you think about the weight, it will not be as simple as 100 billion. "

a long time.

Su Mu looked serious: "How many billion?"

"Fuck."

"..."

"..."

Several people vomited blood.

Really Nima, oil and salt do not enter!
...

After drinking for three rounds, everyone was ready to leave.

When Su Mu was about to get into the car, Yuan Zheng suddenly said: "Su Mu, I can agree to your request, except for your 7000 million salary quotation, I also agree to increase the money later, and I will talk to the investor later.

But without further ado, I think you should prepare the script in advance when you go back. It’s already March, and I want to set up the team as soon as possible and start the production. "

Su Mu smiled and patted his chest, with a sincere face: "Director Yuan, don't worry, you have said that, then I will definitely do my best, don't worry, I will finish the script."

Yuan Zheng nodded in satisfaction.

Then send everyone away.

After the car walked away, Yuan Zheng showed a pained expression.

Behind him, Yuan Lang and Yuan Shuang stepped forward, and then asked doubtfully.

"Master, I remember the investment you were looking for before. It seems that the total investment is 5000 million, right? That was the initial budget you prepared."

Yuan Zheng nodded helplessly: "Yes, this is the budget I discussed with the investor. According to my thinking, from filming to post-production and suitable actors' remuneration, it is almost the same amount, but..."

Halfway through Yuan Lang's words, he also smiled painfully.

However, he didn't expect that Su Mu would add more money. The original investment was more than 2 million yuan, but Su Mu alone accounted for 3/[-].

Where does this make sense?
But when I think about it in retrospect, I wrote the script and played the leading role in the play.

According to Su Mu's current social status, it is reasonable to add money.

And they all knew what kind of person Su Mu was.

Since he chose to pick it up and wants to add more money, it proves that he is serious.

Chances are he'll be a kung fu movie hope.

After all, when he was filming climbers, he broke the time record for climbing Mount Everest just for one role.

So if he plays a kung fu movie this time, it's hard to imagine what Su Mu will do again.

But gambling is always risky.

High investment, high return, but also high risk.

Regarding this point, Yuan Zheng had to swallow it himself, who made him want to use sumu.

Sighing helplessly, he spoke.

"I can only do this first, and I will talk to the investors later, and add a little more."

……

……

evening.

Su Mu returned to the hotel.

After meeting Qian Jida, he briefly recounted the conversation with Yuan Zheng.

"You really add it." Qian Jida couldn't understand: "Su Mu, director Yuan Zheng is so familiar with us, you have to be so serious about him? Besides, you can't get the capped salary of 7000 million yuan, so you still need to add more money Is it a little shameless?

Besides, he took good care of you when he was in Xin Qiji, so why don't you leave him a step down? "

Su Mu: "Am I the kind of ungrateful person? But what counts is what counts. Friendship is friendship, pay is pay."

Qian Jida was speechless: "..."

Su Mu continued: "Mr. Qian, I think it is necessary to reiterate some things to you. Maybe our work has been so smooth in the past two years, so you have forgotten some things. We still have to be nervous .

Don't look at us now holding one billion yuan, but if the money is spent, it will be gone if we say nothing, so we must treat our work correctly.

As the saying goes, you get what you pay for, if I don't want money, they think I'm not serious.

Besides, the friendship of friends, is this measured by money?Since I have such a good relationship with Yuan Zheng, I will naturally redouble my efforts when filming to make the money he spent more worthwhile. This is my respect for this friendship!Do you understand? "

"..." Qian Jida's head was full of stars when he heard it. This kind of high-sounding reason will only be believed by you, Su Mu: "Cough, I probably understand it."

Su Mu nodded in satisfaction: "Well, since I understand, it's good, so I'm going to ask him for [-] million."

Qian Jida: "!!!"

Su Mu: "Of course, if it can be added in the future, I have no objection to adding some more. With my after-sales service, as long as I give more, I will push kung fu movies to a new level."

Qian Jida's eyelids twitched when he heard this: "[-] million? Brother... This is a domestic movie, not a Hollywood blockbuster. The [-] million film salary is probably worth the cost of the entire show."

Su Mu pointed to himself: "Mr. Qian, what is the cost? I am the biggest cost."

Qian Jida: "..."

Su Mu: "I have a hunch that it won't be too easy this time, maybe the undefeated climber is not so good, so it's not too much to ask for more money."

Qian Jida: "Can you foresee it? Then what kind of script are you going to write? It's already March, and I'm afraid it will be very late to start."

Su Mu smiled: "When it comes to the script, you can say it fast or slow, it depends on your luck later."

"Luck? Writing scripts depends on luck?"

"Of course, inspiration is like opening a blind box. Once it is opened, it will be done in one go."

"..."

...

evening.

Su Mu was lying alone in the hotel room.

Looking at the script works drawn out of the blind box in my mind.

In addition to the works he has filmed, among the few scripts he has left, it seems that only "Ip Man" can meet Yuan Zheng's requirements for kung fu movies.

As for Master Xing's "Kung Fu", it is actually a movie with heavy special effects, so it cannot be classified as a pure kung fu movie.

In Su Mu's impression, Ip Man's movie was in his previous life. Although the box office wasn't a huge hit, relatively speaking, when the first movie first came out, the word of mouth was quite good.

At least from the plot to the action scenes inside, it is very enjoyable to watch.

Of course, this is also very demanding for actors.

In addition to the real martial arts skills, you must also be familiar with the boxing method of 'Yongchun Boxing'.

It's not about becoming a real master.

But boxing and martial arts are inherited culture, and even a few movements will have deep meaning and understanding in it.

And this Ip Man movie is named after the protagonist.

It is enough to see that the fullness of this character runs through the whole play.

And Ye Wen wants to inherit the spiritual core of Yongchun.

The spirit of a martial arts practitioner, if you don't know martial arts and have never been in contact with someone, you must not see that feeling.

So I want to perfectly interpret the role of Ip Man.

Su Mu knew that he was afraid that he had to really practice hard.

...

...

A few days go by quickly.

Su Mu didn't go anywhere in the capital city. He pretended to catch up with the script, but it was actually a vacation.

Occasionally, I would go to Zhang Huaimou to see the progress of his preparations.

The shooting of Wandering Earth 2 this time requires a larger venue.

The Titan track camera purchased before must also be checked in, and some materials and props must be prepared.

On the contrary, there is no pressure to design the storyboard drawings.

Because in the detailed explanation of the process, the framework has already been given, just fill in the blanks according to the above.

office.

Zhang Huaimou held a design drawing: "Su Mu, how did you come up with this space elevator? It will probably take a long time to complete the mirror from the earth to space."

Su Mu: "No matter how difficult it is, we have to do it. The space elevator is the highlight of the early stage. This kind of shocking scene is the most important thing to save money. Spend what you need."

Zhang Huaimou smiled: "Okay, since you said so, then I will let go and do it. Oh, by the way, how is the script writing? Yuan Zheng is probably dying of anxiety."

Su Mu took out the file bag from his bag: "It's almost there."

Zhang Huaimou was taken aback: "Fuck! Are you writing... Finished?"

Su Mu: "Look."

Zhang Huaimou took the letter apart suspiciously, and then looked in.

"Ip man……"

I don't know how long ago.

Zhang Huaimou looked up suddenly, a little incredulous.

The screenplay is well written.

The details of each scene, the description of each action... a martial arts master!

"Su Mu, have you learned it?"

"No."

"Then this?"

"Write a few blindly."

"Fuck."

...

...

The top floor of a commercial building.

Yuan Zheng faced a man in a suit.

There are also several insiders sitting around.

The man in front looked at Yuan Zheng and said with a smile: "Director Yuan Zheng, in fact, when you came to me before, I was already hesitant. After all, the investment of any kung fu movie in previous years would not exceed [-] million. How big is it?" The amount of tens of millions can completely support a whole movie.

But I know that you are very accomplished in this area, so I was able to give you an investment of more than [-] million before.

But now if you want to increase the price further, it is indeed a bit embarrassing for me. "

Yuan Zheng: "Mr. Lu, it's not like I'm a lion, but you should know that the person I'm looking for here is Su Mu. If he joins, I think this film will definitely not be a problem.

now,

Lu Mingyuan listened to Yuan Zheng's words with a wry smile on his face.

To be honest, in fact, he is not optimistic about kung fu movies.

He has been in the film and television investment industry for so many years, but he has a habit of never taking risks.

If it weren't for the personal relationship with Yuan Zheng, it would be really good.

It is also impossible for him to make a decision to invest.

Shooting an action movie at this time, the risks are completely predictable.

After all, idol dramas can make a steady profit, so there is really no need to take risks.

But after hearing Yuan Zheng say that Su Mu would join, he thought about it seriously.

"Director Yuan, in fact, Su Mu's participation is indeed a very good bargaining chip, but don't you think his salary is a bit too high?"

After Lu Mingyuan finished speaking, several people around him also echoed.

"That's right, such a high remuneration is a bit unreasonable. Although his previous filming of The Wandering Earth was very good, the quotation has already exceeded 7000 million yuan. This kind of quotation is already the top in the industry."

"I don't understand how he dares to ask for so much. The other film stars in Huaxia don't seem to be paid as much as him."

"I heard that Yu Chenghao and Tianxing Media are planning to make a kung fu movie, and his salary is only [-]."

At this moment, people around are talking.

It was obviously helping Lu Mingyuan out of the siege.

But Yuan Zheng didn't pay attention, he just looked at Lu Mingyuan and spoke lightly.

"How about this, how about I take the risk?"

Lu Mingyuan: "Are you coming?"

Yuan Zheng: "If I really lose in the end, then my five elements will win."

Hear Yuan Zheng's words.

Everyone suddenly quieted down.

No one expected that Yuan Zheng would bet so big, he was very surprised.

Lu Mingyuan: "Old Yuan, are you serious?"

Yuan Zheng: "Of course."

Lu Mingyuan: "Is that why you trust Su Mu?"

Yuan Zheng smiled: "To be honest, if he gave me a friendship price, I would have no confidence, but this kid dares to ask for [-] million, can you understand what this means?

You don't understand, Su Mu, the more you want, the better it will be for us. In short, take the money. "

"???"

"???"

"!!!"
