Chapter 50 Planning "Swordsman" (please recommend) "A-Ling, I love you to death." Wang Jing said excitedly: "A-Ling, from now on I will put this 180 kilograms on you. I'm messing with you." Hearing this, Chu Ling couldn't help but rolled his eyes, ignored the excited Wang Jing, and asked with a smile: "Fat man, do you have any plans recently?" After a moment, he woke up from the excitement. He asked slightly expectantly: "What? Do you have any plans? Anyway, I have to be included." After saying that, looking at Chu Ling who rolled his eyes, he calmed down, thought for a while and said: "In my hand There is only one film, "The Frog Prince," and it will be filmed in another half month. Then the post-production will be left to Shaw Brothers, and I can take my hand." After thinking about it, Chu Ling nodded and said, "No problem, half. The initial preparations will be completed in a month, and you will still be the producer. "What's the name?" Wang Jing asked excitedly. "Both are available. It is adapted from Jin Yong's "Swordsman". I plan to shoot the TV series and the movie together and release them together. I will use the popularity of the TV series to drive the movie. This time, I will definitely create a new box office record." Chu Ling is confident. The way. That¡¯s right, this time, Chu Ling will not only film Chen Jin¡¯s version of the TV series ¡°The New Swordsman¡±, but he will also film Xu Ke¡¯s movie version of ¡°The Swordsman: The Unbeaten East¡±. From the astonishing box office of "Nightclub" this time, which far exceeded the actual, Chu Ling saw another kind of publicity, using the wide-ranging ratings of the TV series to promote the movie for free, and using the popularity of the TV series to drive the movie's box office. After saying that, he looked at the surprised Wang Jing, narrowed his eyes, and said solemnly: "The funding for this shooting is about 30 million." "30 million!!!" Wang Jing said in shock. Staring at Chu Ling with a confident face in stunned silence, Wang Jing felt his heart skip a beat. Nowadays, filming a TV series, like "The Condor", only costs about two million yuan for sixty episodes. Now, three million yuan is invested in a movie. It is considered a medium investment, and seven to eight million is considered a large-scale production. Thirty million is something that only Shaw Brothers and Golden Harvest can afford in Hong Kong. Even New Arts City, one of the three major film companies now, dare not make such a large investment. "A-Ling, even if you shoot a movie and a TV series at the same time, does it cost 30 million? And" Wang Jing frowned and asked: "Do you have so much money?" "It is absolutely necessary, the movie needs special effects. "The TV series also uses some special effects lenses, and I plan to use new costumes and props, and I plan to use the best cameras and films. In the end, 30 million may not be enough," Chu Ling said solemnly. Ignoring the stunned Wang Jing, Chu Ling continued: "As for the preparation of funds, I now have 10 million in hand, plus the 5 million from Yindu, this is half. Moreover, I plan to prepare it in the next few days. The overseas rights of "Wulin Gaiden" and "Nightclub" have been sold." Having said that. Chu Ling said calmly: "In order to collect funds, I will directly buy the overseas copyrights of "Wulin Gaiden" and "Nightclub" instead of dividing the box office. If you don't agree, forget about "Nightclub"." , Wang Jing smiled and said: "No, just do what you said. The 3.5 million will be regarded as my investment, and the remaining box office of "Nightclub" will also be regarded as investment." said After that, he pushed the bank card that was still warm to Chu Ling's face. After being stunned for a moment, Chu Ling put it away without being polite, and said calmly: "Now the total is 20 million, but just in case, the copyright still has to be sold. Please contact me during this time to see if there is any There is no way to sell the copyright. " "Okay, no problem." Wang Jing said with a smile. After chatting for a while, the two of them left the teahouse and went their separate ways. Walking on the street, Chu Ling rushed home. When he got home, he happened to catch up with the girls having lunch, so he sat down and finished eating, and then called the three girls into the study. "Sister Zhi, here is one million, of which half a million is what I borrowed from you last time. The remaining half a million is this month's salary, as well as the red envelopes from "Nightclub" and "Wulin Gaiden"." Chu. Zero said while handing a bank card to Zhao Yazhi. After saying that, Chu Ling took out a new bank card and handed it to Weng Meiling and said: "Ah, there are two million here, including red envelopes and this month's salary. Most of them were borrowed from you last time." Money, I count it as your investment in "Wulin Gaiden." Finally, he handed the bank card to Zhou Huimin and said with a smile: "Amin, here is five hundred thousand, which is your salary and red envelope during this period." "This" Zhao Yazhi's three daughters couldn't help but care about each other.After glancing at each other, they saw a hint of hesitation in the other person's eyes, wondering whether he should accept the bank card in his hand. Looking at the hesitant three girls, Chu Ling couldn't help but smile and said, "If you don't accept it, I won't be able to borrow money from you next time." Hearing this, the three girls put away their bank cards. In fact, if it weren¡¯t for the next plan, Chu Ling would have wanted to give the three women several million more. "Let's get down to business." Looking at the three women who were looking at him, Chu Ling said with a smile: "I plan to film the TV and movie versions of "The Swordsman" respectively. This time I will be busy until the end of the year, and I plan to go to the mainland. How about filming? Do you want to join in? "I don't have a problem, anyway, I won't be taking any roles in the next period of time," Zhao Yazhi said first. "I don't have a problem either." Later, Weng Meiling also said with a smile. In fact, she accepted a script and originally planned to star in it, but now she has no choice but to turn it down. "I" Looking at the hesitant Zhou Huimin, Chu Ling then remembered that he was still a student, and quickly smiled and said: "It doesn't matter, I will record the song with you first, and we will talk about the post-production later. As for the shooting issue, that's all Use your vacation time to shoot." Hearing this, Zhou Huimin breathed a sigh of relief. To be honest, she really didn't want to be studying in school while Zhao Yazhi and Chu Ling were spending time together. At that moment, , she even had the idea of ??dropping out of school. At this time. Zhao Yazhi frowned and asked: "How are the preparations for the actors and funds?" "The funds are almost there. I will find a solution for the missing part. As for the actors" Chu Ling frowned and said: "Linghu Chong me Come on, Aweng will play Yue Lingshan, Amin will play Yilin, Sister Zhi will play Ren Yingying, and the rest will be found slowly." After saying that, Chu Ling noticed Zhou Huimin's hesitant look, and he knew that the other party was there after just a moment's thought. Worrying about something, he couldn't help but smile and said: "Amin, don't worry, in my version Yilin has hair, she is definitely not bald." "Huh?" Hearing this, not only Zhou Huimin looked at Chu Ling differently, but the two women Zhao Mazhi also looked at Chu Ling differently. Looking at Chu Ling in confusion, she really couldn't figure out how to adapt it to make Yi Lin have long hair. Although he could see the confusion of the three women, Chu Ling did not explain, but smiled and said to Zhao Yazhi: "Sister Zhi, let me tell you first, whether it is a movie or a TV series, the heroine is Dongfang Invincible. It should be said that Dongfang Invincible is the real protagonist of the two dramas. "This time, the three women could no longer hold back their surprise and exclaimed with stunned expressions: "Dongfang Invincible?" Laughing! He smiled, Chu Ling's eyes exuded a strange light, and said with a smile: "You will know when the script is written." After talking about the characters, Chu Ling pondered for a moment, then raised his head and said: "I will draw the split-shot script as soon as possible. When it comes out, Amin and I will do the post-production and soundtrack. I will discuss the costumes with Awen and draw up the design, and then find someone to make it.¡± Chu Ling said to Zhao Yazhi: "Sister Zhi, I believe you know many makeup artists in the industry. I hope you can contact me, at least five of them. Of course, the salary is easy to talk about." "No problem." Zhao Yazhi said Zhi smiled and nodded. As an actor and a woman, she knows a lot of people in this field. However, looking at Zhou Huimin and Zhou Huimin, who both had jobs, Zhao Yazhi made up his mind to learn more makeup skills from a few of his best friends, so that they could help in the future. "Huh" He breathed a long sigh of relief. After doing this, the preliminary preparations finally got off to a good start. However, just at the beginning, Chu Ling was already a little unable to do what he wanted. He only felt a little overwhelmed, and his heart was filled with tears. The thought of giving up. Wang Jing was busy shooting, and Chu Ling couldn't keep busy just by herself. After resting for a while, Chu Ling took a pen and paper, first wrote down the main cast list, and then wrote down the roles of himself and the three women. Then he thought about the actors for other roles, and slowly wrote on the paper. Come down. Needless to say, the Eastern Invincible must be played by Lin Qingxia. Yue Buqun was played by Zeng Jiang, Ning Zhong was played by Hong Gu, Lin Pingzhi was played by Liu Tianwang, Feng Qingyang was played by Hong Jinbao, and Tian Boguang was played by Xing Ye. , Let me play Xiang Shuai, Zuo Lengchan, Liang Jiahui A piece of paper was filled with names. Of course, some were just the best choices, and they might not agree to play, so he wrote several words after each role. a name. Looking at the names on the paper, Chu Ling couldn't help but smile bitterly. Although the names on the paper were very luxurious, such a luxurious lineup was destined to be incomplete. I found the business cards I received at the hotel and placed them in a pile in front of me. ? ?First, Chu Ling called Liu Tianwang, whom he had just met in the morning. After all, the first person had to get the other person to agree, so as to increase his self-confidence. After calling for a while, no one answered. At this time, Chu Ling just remembered that the other party was filming a movie, how could he answer the phone? He couldn't help but smile bitterly and hung up the phone and found Master Xing's phone number. After hesitating for a while, Chu Ling finally put down the phone. After all, those who have worked with him are better off, but those who have not worked with him can't possibly agree to star just because of his phone call. "Forget it, let's draw the storyboard first. It will be more convincing when the time comes to bring the script." Chu Ling sighed.
