Director Du and the screenwriter were a little uncomfortable with Mingzhu. .
Because if you want to make a movie about The Grandmaster, then an action movie must be an action movie, but this kind of action movie is a road that has never been taken before.
This is based on reality So can people accept it?
Chen Yucheng saw their worries and said: "Big production, big investment, big publicity, I will invest 100 million US dollars to make this film."
"Ugh" Director Du was speechless, while Ouyang Bing, Song Xiaofei and others were all dumbfounded. Can the 100 million US dollars be used up? How can I spend $100 million on a movie?
Yes, the most popular male star in Mingzhu at this time may have a personal salary of more than 10 million Hong Kong dollars, but a major Mingzhu production can only cost 30 to 40 million Hong Kong dollars at most, which can exceed 100 million Hong Kong dollars
But Bingying Film Entertainment¡¯s first film actually invested US$100 million, so who should star in it? Fanglong? Or who?
????????????????? And even if Fang Long is invited to star, it¡¯s not easy to spend this 100 million US dollars.
Chen Yucheng's idea is also very simple. Since people have doubts about their ability to accept new things, then use the most advanced shooting equipment in the world at this time, the most shocking pictures, the most exciting and profound actions and storylines, Coupled with overwhelming publicity, to impress others and attract others.
In addition, the reason why Chen Yucheng invested so much is that he hopes that this film will be both atmospheric and sophisticated enough to be released in Europe and the United States.
Let¡¯s not talk about Europe first, but enter the American market. Chen Yucheng is still somewhat confident that as long as the film reaches a certain level, entering the American film market will not be a problem at all.
¡°And the major film companies in the United States that cooperate with him must give him some care. For example, the profit sharing method will definitely be similar to American movies, which adopt a box office sharing model, rather than being bought out by the other party.
But generally speaking, it is difficult for Chinese films to enter the American market. Even if they can enter, most of them will be bought out cheaply and then screened on a small scale, and the grading system is particularly strict.
That is to say. Most Americans are inherently discriminatory towards Chinese people.
But here in Chen Yucheng, those are not problems.
So next, Chen Yucheng smiled and told them if the movie was successful. Then he can put the film into the American market, and when it achieves good results in the United States, then Europe will not be a problem at all. Because who of us doesn¡¯t want to make money? When it is clear that there is a lot of money to be made, then some issues such as national protectionism and racial discrimination arise. It will be reduced a lot.
And the Japanese market is not a problem. At this time, the Japanese film market is completely open to Mingzhu.
After hearing the news announced by Chen Yucheng, Ouyang Bing, Director Du and others were even more confused.
Chen Yucheng concluded: "So. We can't be as short-sighted as others. If we want to shoot the subject of "The Grandmaster", then we must make it grand and wonderful, and my idea is that if it is possible to hit the Oscar! "
¡¡
The first movie. Not only do you want to hit the European and American markets, but you also want to win an Oscar? !
Not to mention anything else, Chen Yucheng¡¯s ambition scared everyone here.
Ouyang Bing even had the urge to kiss him passionately in public.
¡°It¡¯s just that all this seems unrealistic, but one thing is definitely achievable, that is, if Mr. Chen is really willing to invest 100 million US dollars in making a film, then money is not a problem.
So after everyone¡¯s mood finally calmed down.
Director Du first asked: "Then who will star?"
While speaking, Director Du's eyes first glanced at Song Xiaofei, intentionally or unintentionally.
But Concubine Song seemed a little absent-minded, and her face was slightly pale
¡°After hearing that 100 million U.S. dollars will be invested and that it may be launched in the European and American markets, and the fact that she came to this occasion tonight, it is basically a hint that she must have a role in this movie.
It¡¯s just that after Song Xiaofei got excited, she seemed a little depressed and distracted.
Of course, Director Du also knows that Song Xiaofei is only one of the female leads at most, and he is asking about the male lead, or the first male lead and the second male lead.
Chen Yucheng asked Ouyang Bing first, and Ouyang Bing shook his head.
Then Chen Yucheng asked Director Du what he thought.??.
Director Du said: "Fang Long is basically unavailable, and he is now the mainstay of Jiahe. Jiahe will not let him out to help us film. Zhou Huixing is not suitable to play a more serious subject like ours. Besides, I guess he The schedule is also full, and finally it¡¯s Li Shaojie"
Chen Yucheng shook his head: "Li Shaojie is making a film by himself, and it will probably be a year or two before we can collaborate."
Director Du then looked at him: "Then who will star?"
So, after Chen Yucheng thought about it, he recommended someone: "Longquan Sword counts as one, right?"
Longquan Sword?
Everyone in the private room was suddenly filled with question marks.
When Chen Yucheng explained that Long Quanjian was now the deputy manager of the Little Nature Health Club, everyone had a little understanding, but there was still a lot of confusion.
Because it is impossible for Chen Yucheng to explain it so clearly.
When Director Du thought about it, this Longquan Sword might have certain martial arts skills, but this person was in the Pearl and had no reputation in the world The chance of success for a new person was generally only between 10% and 20%, so Isn¡¯t it a bit risky for a big production like The Grandmaster?
Because this is what Chen Yucheng said personally that he will invest 100 million U.S. dollars. This is not a trivial matter, something that can be tried by newcomers.
The more important issue is that if you want to make a film about a subject like The Grandmaster, then the founder of The Grandmaster is an unavoidable character. Even if the film is to be grand, he should be positioned as the number one leading actor.
?In other words, the one who plays Chen Yucheng is the real leading actor. Everything else should be placed in supporting roles.
Of course, how do you write the script when you want to see it?
So Director Du said: "Mr. Chen, if the number one male lead is positioned based on your true form, then it will be difficult to find an actor like you who is both young and mature."
Chen Yucheng said: "It doesn't have to be a young one, and it doesn't have to be my true form as the first protagonist."
Director Du nodded.
It¡¯s just that later¡
It was said that at this time, they discussed how to write the script. When the screenwriter sitting here expressed his thoughts, Chen Yucheng was very dissatisfied.
So I listed several key points on the spot, and in the end, it was Chen Yucheng who helped the screenwriter set up a framework.
Of course for this screenwriter. He definitely didn't think that Chen Yucheng was right in his heart, but how could his little arm twist past his thigh?
So he nodded repeatedly without any comments on the surface, and carefully recorded the framework of the script that Chen Yucheng said.
The group of people only talked about it before leaving at 11 o'clock in the evening.
After the show, Chen Yucheng first sent Song Xiaofei back to her home in Beidu.
And then turned around. He said to Ouyang Bing, who had also seen off Song Xiaofei, "Don't you need to go home?"
Ouyang Bing shook his head slightly strangely, and then said softly with a slightly hoarse voice: "Didn't I tell you? I will stay in the hotel tonight, and I haven't even told my family when I return to Beidu."
Chen Yucheng almost understood. After thinking about it, he finally said: "Then let's stay in a house in Qingyan Group for one night."
Ouyang Bing started to blush and nodded. Even though he was nervous, his eyes were as tender as water.
When the two of them arrived at the small building allocated to Chen Yucheng from Qingyan Group Chen Yucheng also followed Ouyang Bing in.
Then right next to the door, the two of them kissed passionately.
A few minutes later, Ouyang Bing broke out of Chen Yucheng's arms, gasping for breath.
Then he asked in a low voice: "Do you want to go there?"
Chen Yucheng smiled and said, "Then you're not afraid?"
Ou Bing raised his fist and hit him The two of them now needed to speak clearly. Sometimes a look or an action. You can let the other person understand what it means.
So next, Ouyang Bing seemed to be unsteady when walking. He was half-carried upstairs by Chen Yucheng.
¡¡
¡ù¡ù¡ù
Just two days later, the news that Bingying Film and Television Entertainment Company was going to make "The Grandmaster" and would invest US$100 million seemed to have spread throughout the world.
Not only was Ouyang Bing harassed when he returned to his home in Beidu, but Chen Yucheng also received various calls.
Even officials from the Ministry of Radio, Film and Television said they would treat Chen Yucheng to a meal, but how delicious would such a meal be
Chen Yucheng would never refuse a meal like that.
And on this day, when Chen Yucheng was sitting in the Grand Master General Hall because the incident with Group 9 has come to an end, the main reason is that there are only so many manpower, and when handling a case, apart from arresting people, it does not mean arresting people. That's it, but there are a lot of loose ends to deal with, so Chen Yucheng is waiting for the people under the 9th Group to deal with all the loose ends that have arisen before he is ready to get involved in a deeper level of competition.
As for the movie, it is still too early and it will take at least two months of preparation, so all the preliminary matters are left to Ouyang Bing to handle.
Of course, Chen Yucheng also reassured Ouyang Bing that everything should be done according to his ideas and her ideas. Any other people or things that try to disturb, destroy or hinder this idea will be ignored and rejected immediately.
And now, it can be said that Chen Yucheng is completely confident. In that case, even at the official level, generally speaking, no one can order him.
And first of all, the heads of the relevant departments tried Chen Yucheng's toughness, because they had already made a decision to deal with Song Fangda because of the "Director Wang" matter
But when Chen Yucheng heard about it, he called the director in charge: "Please take back the decision to punish Team Leader Song. If you want to punish me, please punish me, not Team Leader Song. And I went my own way in that case. It has nothing to do with it." Regarding Team Leader Song, how about I leave Group 9?"
Of course, in fact, the director of their bureau did not intervene in this matter, and it was someone else who made the decision to punish Song Fangda, and he was prepared to test it first. If there was no response and he accepted it, Song Fangda might be transferred.
So in those few days. There are some internal rumors about who will take over Song Fangda's position and so on.
Song Fangda, who was feeling exhausted during those few days, finally tried to talk to Chen Yucheng, and Chen Yucheng asked him for the director's phone number. Then he made a phone call to the director.
¡°Then the punishment against Song Fangda was suddenly revoked, and a certain deputy director was asked to write an inspection.
Of course, after this incident happened, the 9th Group understood more clearly who was the core of the 9th Group, and felt the strong human touch of Deputy Team Leader Chen.
Of course, sometimes power is invisible and needs to be fought for.
The original Chen Yucheng seemed to have little power. The level is equal to zero, but no one dares to deal with him easily.
And things in officialdom are sometimes that simple, and sometimes level really doesn¡¯t matter.
And. It was also because of this incident that Chen Yucheng became the number one figure in Chinese official circles, and he was the number one figure close to the top.
But just when Chen Yucheng felt that there were a lot of things going on in the near future, he was thinking about how to proceed step by step.
This day he was at the Grandmaster General Hall. Suddenly, Lao Guo, who had never been to the main hall since that first time, actually appeared.
I saw the old man coming in a hurry. When he found Chen Yucheng, he pulled him to a sheltered place to talk.
"Let me tell you, brother, do you mainly focus on cultivation, or do you mainly focus on living in this world?"
Chen Yucheng took a breath and looked at Lao Guo: "What do you mean by this?"
The old man chuckled: "Yesterday, an old friend suddenly contacted me. He said that a certain tiger was going to hold an auction. Will you go?"
? ? ? ? ? ? ? ? ? ? ? ? ? ? ? ? ? ? ? ? ? ? ? ? ? ? ? ? ? ? ? ? ? ? ? ? ? ? ? ? ? ? Chen Yucheng almost cursed. Of course, he was not really scolding, but he was surprised and excited in his heart. He felt that he was finally getting closer to the circle that truly belonged to him
So he suppressed the emotions in his heart and said: "Can I go too?"
The old man nodded: "It's generally possible. As long as you have some cultivation, and if you have a lower cultivation level, you can be taken along by someone with a higher cultivation level."
Chen Yucheng couldn't help but ask: "It seems that there are quite a lot of people like us? Do you know how many there are?"
The old man said: "I don't know much about this. I only know what I know. There are probably thousands of people, and some are hundreds or even thousands of years old. For example, the Bamboo Shadow Tiger is said to be more than a thousand years old. "
Chen Yucheng asked him something more. This kind of auction trade fair mainly auctions and trades something, and does it also need to use currency? And if currency is needed, what kind of currency is it?
Lao Guo told Chen Yu that the city master wanted some spiritual objects and ores, but these spiritual objects and ores were truly rare things on earth, or things that were not found on earth, and the currency used a kind of starry sky crystal. , but this kind of starry sky crystal is also something that does not exist on the earth.
Chen Yucheng asked: "So where did this starry sky crystal come from?"The old man spread his hands and said, "You ask me, who should I ask?"
Chen Yucheng asked him again: "Do you have any starry sky crystals?"
At this time, he saw a strange look on the old man's face, and he was so hesitant. Chen Yucheng smiled bitterly and said: "You can take it out without worry, I promise not to take it from you."
It was then that he saw several "stones" the size of mung beans that Lao Guo had taken out. Chen Yucheng took a look and saw that these stones were colorful, including purple, white, yellow, green and other colors.
He picked one up and looked at it, and at the same time he also noticed that there seemed to be a storage thing inside Lao Guo's sleeve.
When he looked at Lao Guo's cuffs, he even took a step back.
Chen Yucheng was too lazy to pay attention to him, and only focused on looking at the mung bean-sized stone: "What is the use of this kind of thing? Can it just be used as currency?"
Lao Guo immediately said: "Of course, this thing can be eaten and can also be used as a gem."
Chen Yucheng couldn't help but choked: "No, this is just a stone. How can you eat it?"
Lao Guo gave Chen Yucheng a look of disdain: "You are so strange, don't you think so? Let me ask you, does the human body need to be supplemented with minerals? And after reaching the advanced level of cultivation, we need a large amount of the elements in the starry sky crystal ¡¡±
Chen Yucheng almost understood, and said: "That is to say, we can't eat it now, but if we have a higher state, we can eat it? Then let the elements inside combine with our bodies to achieve a level that cannot be achieved by ordinary bodies. Effect?"
The old man nodded. "That's probably what it means." Because in fact, he has never eaten it and is currently only using it as currency.
Then Chen Yucheng thought of another issue that he was more concerned about, "What if I don't have this kind of starry sky crystal, but I want to photograph something in that kind of auction?"
Lao Guo: "Then you can use your things to exchange for sky star crystals first. You are so stupid"
Chen Yucheng rolled his eyes: "I have never participated in that kind of auction, and I have never used this kind of starry sky crystal. How do I know By the way, what can I exchange for starry sky crystals? For example, Laoshan Ginseng no?"
The old man looked at Chen Yucheng strangely and said: "Things like wild ginseng are not valuable in our circle. Even hundreds of ginseng that are hundreds of years old cannot be exchanged for a starry sky crystal like mine"
After he said this, Chen Yucheng looked at him with an ugly expression: "What about gold?"
The old man shook his head: "It's not worth it!"
Chen Yucheng: "US dollars?"
Lao Guo continued to shake his head: "No one accepts it!"
"diamond?"
Lao Guo is still shaking his head. But at this time, he felt a little sympathetic to Chen Yuchenglooking at him with such sympathy.
Chen Yucheng went crazy, as if he suddenly found himself transformed from a rich man to a pauper. He roared: "What about the imperial green jade?"
The old man sighed: "Some people may accept it, but your house is so big. You may be able to exchange it for a starry sky crystal."
Chen Yucheng wanted to hit the wall. It turned out that he had worked hard for countless years and now he was back before liberation.
Seeing Chen Yucheng's frustrated look, Lao Guo said kindly: "Brother, this is actually normal, just like wild ginseng. For ordinary people, it is a treasure, but for us, as long as it is a cultivator If it is slightly higher, it will have no effect, and things like wild ginseng. In our circle, although it can be regarded as a kind of spiritual thing, it is almost regarded as the lowest spiritual thing, and for hundreds of years Yes, most of the people in our circle can pick it up by themselves. Only those that are more than a thousand years old may be worth a little money, and you must first find a buyer who really needs them and has a large amount of starry sky crystals."
Chen Yucheng: "Then you start to say that the starry sky crystal is not from the earth, so where does this thing come from?"
The old man paused: "I told you, I don't know very well. If you insist on telling me, I can only tell you that it is basically left by the predecessors, and in some larger sects, there are More starry sky crystals.¡±
After the two of them talked for a long time, Chen Yucheng almost understood that what people in the world regard as treasures is basically worthless in that circle, but a few thousand-year-old mountain ginseng can be exchanged for a starry sky crystal.
So, Chen Yucheng felt that he had no choice but to follow the old man to that auction fair, which was no longer interesting.
Because you are a pauper, why do you want to do it?
Of course, even though this is the case, he still wants to go and take a look, maybe he can just go and take a look.
And at the end of the age, hesitantly, he finally gave it to Chen Yucheng.?A starry sky crystal, "Forget it, I'll give you one to save you from being pitiful"
Chen Yucheng took it speechlessly, holding it in his hand and looking left and right: "So what can you buy with this one?"
Lao Guo: "Maybe you can't buy anything. It usually takes three or four to get it, or you can exchange it for the lowest-level spiritual object or mineral."
At this time, Chen Yucheng had an idea: "Are there some strange meteorites worth some money?"
The old man nodded but shook his head; "Basically, over hundreds of millions of years, there may only be a few valuable meteorites falling on the earth, so even for people like us, it is difficult to find such valuable meteorites. If there are any, they are buried. It¡¯s very deep underground.¡±
This time, Chen Yucheng seemed to have finally given up, and he let out a dejected sigh.
But I heard the old man say again: "If you decide to go, then it is best to prepare a self-defense weapon for yourself. Of course, ordinary swords and hot weapons are useless. When you really meet a master, you will It¡¯s useless even if you bring a missile.¡±
But this time Chen Yucheng understood. He nodded, "I understand."
Because in Chen Yucheng¡¯s sect, refining is an important method, and among refining, the refining of weapons and magic weapons is the focus.
Chen Yucheng said slowly: "It's The Grandmaster At present, martial arts movies are more popular at home and abroad, so a subject like The Grandmaster can completely meet the two conditions. The subject matter is big enough, real enough, and no matter where it comes from, In all aspects, it has certain connotations, because this is the world's first unrestricted fighting sport, which has very far-reaching significance. There are many aspects that can be filmed and written about You can use me as the subject, or you can Based on the theme of a mysterious boy who comes from a deep mountain and then joins the Grandmaster, and can include content about the conflict between love and ideals, wouldn¡¯t it be a good film that is both beautiful and connotative, and should definitely be guaranteed to have a box office?¡±
¡°He really doesn¡¯t shy away from others in favor of others Well, he is also suspected of putting money in his own face.
Ouyang Bing immediately laughed so hard that she fell into his arms, and then looked at him unblinkingly with her beautiful eyes as bright as the stars in his arms.
