    A white shirt, a pair of gray jeans, and a pair of blue and white sneakers; the shirt is a little wrinkled, the jeans are a little worn, and the sneakers have a dusty smell.  This is Guo Jingze. He is of average height, with a slightly chubby face and figure. When he smiles, he has his iconic squinting eyes, giving people the impression of being smart but kind.  "Hello, Director Guo!" Li Zhengxi went to the downstairs of the office to greet him solemnly and said hello first.  Guo Jingze looked at him seriously with a smile on his lips, then stretched out his hand to shake his hand and said, "Actually, I heard your name at the beginning of the year, and when I got the script, I asked about it again.  !¡± He asked him again: ¡°I heard that you went back to complete your studies?¡± Li Zhengxi smiled and nodded, ¡°Mom, I hope I won¡¯t waste my studies because of this. Fortunately, everything went well!¡± Guo Jingze was finally surprised, ¡°You graduated.  After Li Zhengxi nodded, he praised: "Yes, for a little genius like you, this is just a last resort!" After a pause, he returned to the topic straightforwardly, "Well, okay, let's not stop now!"  Let¡¯s talk about this movie first!¡± Li Zhengxi nodded and asked him to go upstairs. After sitting down in the reception room, he opened the topic and said, ¡°Well, how should I say, I was obsessed with it a while ago.  Hong Kong gangster movies, and then I also watched some American genre movies. However, I felt that it was just about fighting and killing on the street. The blood was a bit inferior and lacked content. Later, I remembered what I had seen before.  "Once Upon a Time in America", and then I was inspired by it, so I came up with this script" "Well," after Li Zhengxi's simple explanation, Guo Jingze nodded, "This is similar to my opinion," and smiled as he read it.  Taking a look at Li Zhengxi, he continued: "Moreover, this script reminds me of the absurdities when I was young, as well as the story of our Busan Seven Star Gang, which makes me more enthusiastic!" Li Zhengxi smiled and joked  Said: "So, the director was also very passionate when he was young!" Guo Jingze chuckled, "At that time, the society was in turmoil. Except for those who were particularly timid and peaceful, which boy didn't yearn to be like the gangsters on the streets, everywhere.  Wu Xi, at least on the surface, looked very majestic. " He shook his head and said again: "Fortunately, I saw it clearly a long time ago, and then ran away quickly!" Amidst the laughter, he said seriously, "  Well, although it may be presumptuous, because of what I just said, I want to set the perspective in Busan, so I also think that if I film it, I will use the Busan dialect throughout the film "The Korean dialect is the same as that of China.  Many of them use Gyeonggi Province, which is near Seoul, as the standard Korean. If you use dialects, it will naturally cause some viewers to have a different viewing experience.  However, Li Zhengxi had known this for a long time, and also knew that it would arouse more repentance and resonance among the audience. Therefore, under Guo Jingze's gaze, he nodded decisively and said: "My grandmother is from Busan. She  She said that she had lived in Seoul for more than 40 years, but she still couldn't change her accent, and she was unwilling to change it "This is true. Amid Guo Jingze's surprise and joy, Li Zhengxi continued: "Of course.  , I also believe in your decision and ability, director, and appreciate your realistic style, which will make this film more brilliant!" Guo Jingze is the director, he is the screenwriter, and this is a movie project. If it is normal, Guo Jingze will naturally make the decision himself, but  , the problem now is that Guo Jingze wants to shoot, but he doesn¡¯t have the money yet, and the rights to the script are not in his hands, so they must reach a consensus before they can continue to discuss the follow-up matters.  In front of him, the two people seemed to be in agreement, so Guo Jingze took the opportunity to say: "Well, I think it's time for us to talk about investment now. Maybe, this is why you came to me!" "No.  Wrong!" Li Zhengxi nodded, and then said something that shocked Guo Jingze, "I will handle the investment matter, and you will be responsible for the preparatory work of the movie from now on" "You mean, you are the investor!  "Human?" You can't blame Guo Jingze for being surprised. Although Li Zhengxi is a genius, genius cannot make money, and the Li Zhengxi in front of him doesn't look very rich.  However, no matter how shocked or surprised he was, he still saw Li Zhengxi nodding, "Yes, what I want to ask now is, how much investment do you think this movie requires?" Guo Jingze frowned and answered first, "I will answer this question.  I have thought about it. If we only talk about the production cost, it would be almost 4 billion!" Then, he couldn't help but ask the key question, "Uh, I'm sorry, I don't mean anything else, but you said investment, but  Where's the money?" Li Zhengxi suddenly laughed and pointed at his head. Then when Guo Jingze was a little confused, he continued: "YouAs you probably know, the filming of "The Curse" has been completed, and the post-production is basically completed. The movie has been confirmed to be released in July, so I will be able to get the money in August. At the same time, I can also get a movie in November.  The remuneration for the TV series, and these two combined, I can probably get almost one billion  " Hearing this, Guo Jingze almost didn't say that he was crazy. He was just a screenwriter. He actually said that two films could earn so much money. However, Li Zhengxi ignored him for the time being and continued: "With this billion  , plus the accumulated reputation of the two scripts, I think I can probably borrow about 2 billion from the bank, then we will have 3 billion, and with 3 billion, what do you think, with my reputation and yours?  , will it be difficult to get another billion by then?  " Having said this, he raised his right index finger with a confident smile, "So, the most important thing for us now is to do the preliminary preparations first, and preliminary preparations don't cost much, Director Guo, right?  " Guo Jingze is not a child. He will bewitched by just a few words. Even if this guy said this when he saw Li Zhengxi for the first time, he would leave directly. At this time, he is angry and funny.  He continued: "Although I don't quite understand, I roughly understand that you are using your economic mind to play a capital operation game, but this is a movie  " At this time, Li Zhengxi interrupted him, with a serious look on his face, "No, Director Guo, I am very serious and love movies!  " After a slight pause, he said: "You just said that this is a method of capital operation, which proves that it is feasible, and we have no money now, so why don't we try it!  " Guo Jingze smiled at this time, then picked up the cold coffee on the table and took a sip. Then he looked at him and asked the most important question, "So, what is the billion you mentioned for operation?  What's going on?  " Hearing him ask this, Li Zhengxi knew that he had been persuaded, so his expression became more and more confident, "It's simple, because the contract I signed with them was a gambling agreement  " Not only did he just say that, he also showed Guo Jingze the contract signed with TUBE Entertainment. Then, in his astonishment, he smiled and said: "I know this still seems a bit unreliable, because no one knows what will happen in the future.  How, however, we only have to wait less than two months!  " "Two months, before the box office of "The Curse" is released, we can make preliminary preparations, form a crew, find actors, and then look at locations and select locations. You can also think about how to shoot and divide the script into shots.  Get it out¡­.  " When I say these words at this time, the intensity is completely different. You can tell by seeing Guo Jingze listening to him solemnly, "Then, as soon as the box office comes out, if it is good, we will start immediately. Although the money is not enough, the crew spent  Money doesn't come all at once, and if it's not good, then I'll bear all the consequences, including your director's remuneration  " Guo Jingze smiled again, but with more emotion in his smile, and shook his head, "Is this your genius plan, but it seems to me that it is too crazy!  " Li Zhengxi also smiled, and he smiled brightly, "It's a bit, but such a more adventurous plan will make my blood boil. Maybe this is the way young people do things!  " As he said that, he glanced at Guo Jingze and said jokingly: "Of course, you don't look old either!  " Guo Jingze chuckled. He is thirty-four years old this year, which is very young in the director industry, but compared with this guy Li Zhengxi, he is almost twice as old. " Moreover, he is also past the age where he can be easily enthusiastic, so he  He looked at Li Zhengxi seriously again, "To be honest, I am a little moved, but do you understand the consequences of all this failure?  " "Of course," Li Zhengxi also replied seriously: "Not only does the movie fail, but it also has to pay liquidated damages to the crew, especially the actors. This is not included. Once such an example occurs, the reputation will be ruined.  The road will be difficult¡­.  " Guo Jingze nodded, and then frowned. He originally wanted to say that he would just wait another two months to see the situation, but he was a little hesitant, because after two months, even if "The Curse" is successful,  You won¡¯t get all the money right away, so why not start now? But this is really crazy! ¡°Well, let me think about it first!  Guo Jingze couldn't make up his mind for a while, so in the end he could only say to Li Zhengxi: "Three days, I will give you news in three days!"  " He didn't refuse directly, which is good news. Li Zhengxi smiled and nodded. PS: Those who are fattening, please save it!
