Rebirth: Uranus Superstar

Early the next morning, Tang Wu just woke up from her sleep when she received a call from Xu Weizhou. She looked a little surprised. After all, Director Xu had just finished filming a movie and worked hard for three or four months. Now it was time for vacation.

Thinking of yesterday's short script reading, Tang Wu hesitated, thinking that Director Xu wanted to persuade her to make a movie again.

But she is really not very interested in the script of "Seven Personalities", or even not interested at all. Recently, her mind is full of plot images of "Steel Man", and recently, she is even more reluctant to participate in it. "Steel" has such a trace of regret.

Therefore, when receiving a call from Xu Weizhou, Tang Wu wanted to refuse to answer it for a moment, but Director Xu was her bole after all, and she could not forget the kindness of knowing her, so she answered the phone: "Director Xu, so morning."

"Is it early? You little girls are too sleepy." Xu Weizhou smiled and said, "It's almost noon now, so you haven't woken up yet, have you?"

Tang Wu looked at the time, it was already [-]:[-] in the morning, and she was a little embarrassed: "It's like this, Director Xu, I usually sleep for about ten hours. sleep."

"It is a good thing to be able to sleep. When I am my age, let alone ten hours, it is a luxury to be able to sleep quietly for six hours."

Xu Weizhou said with a smile, then changed the subject and explained the purpose of his visit: "I contacted Tan Gaohan of Guangguang Brokerage yesterday and got the script of "Steel"..."

Tang Wu's spirit lifted: "Have you read it?"

Xu Weizhou nodded and said: "I read it. It is indeed a rare and good script. It is not amazing at first glance, but the details can be seen in the real chapter. The fate of every character and character makes people watch and cry."

Tang Wu felt the same: "Indeed, and in my opinion, once this "Steel Man" is made into a movie, it will be the absolute classic romance movie in the history of Chinese movies in the next ten years. Dare to be number one again."

"Romance movie?"

Xu Weizhou nodded slowly, and said, "I want to hear your specific views on this script again. Apart from the love in the play, what is the most moving thing about this script that you can't forget?"

"Apart from the hard-won love, what moved me the most was the attitudes of different people in the face of death when the big ship encountered a glacier and capsized. Those who have faith, those who are calm, and those who regard responsibility more than life More importantly, those gentlemen who give priority to women and children in the face of disaster..."

Tang Wu recalled the content of the script, and she couldn't help being excited when she spoke: "This not only reflects the original beauty of human nature, but also reflects some social values ​​at that time. Of course, in the script, I also saw some human nature. The ugly side, however, I choose to forget these, I am willing to remember the brilliance of humanity and the tragedy of this disaster."

Xu Weizhou couldn't help but applaud Tang Wu's speech, he smiled and said, "That's right, Xiao Tang, to have such an opinion, it means that you have thoroughly read the core content of this script, now, let me tell you some good news Last night, after my discussion with Mr. Tan and Han Sen's affirmation, they finally decided to let me direct the filming of the script of "Steel Number"..."

Tang Wu slowly opened her mouth, showing a look of surprise. She suddenly filtered out some of Xu Weizhou's subsequent words, but after learning that the other party directed "Steel", she blurted out: "Director Xu , if I come to play the heroine, do you think it is suitable?"

"Naturally it is suitable."

Xu Weizhou nodded and said: "Whether it's your appearance or your manner of speaking, you are born with the temperament of an old noble lady, which was shown in your first movie "Princess Huaxia". In ", the heroine Deng Qingsi matches your image and temperament very well, you only need a little training to restore the real Deng Qingsi."

"The real Deng Qingsi? Is there really such a person in history?"

"As long as you believe in your heart, then she really exists."

When Tang Wu heard these words, she fell into deep thought.

She remembered the description of Deng Qingsi in the script. Rather than saying that Deng Qingsi was an old noble lady, it would be better to say that the other party was a woman who had to marry a fiancé she was not interested in in order to solve the current situation of family decline.

More simply, a pompous socialite, a flower in a greenhouse.

It is not difficult for Tang Wu to perform such a role well, but if she wants to perform well, make all audiences remember it fresh, and even become a representative figure in Tang Wu's career, Tang Wu needs to think carefully.

For example, label Deng Qingsi with personality, behaviors, hobbies, tastes, etc., slowly fill up this role, and then bring him into it with all his heart, turning himself into the real Deng Qingsi.

Just when Tang Wu was deep in thought, Xu Weizhou said: "I had a lot of conversations with Tan Gaohan late at night, and there is no dispute about the choice of the heroine. We all think that you are very suitable for the character image of Deng Qingsi. As for one of the Nude scenes, in fact, there are many solutions, either use nude substitutes, or directly cut the lens, but this nude scene is the most important thing, it is a link between the past and the future in the whole movie, absolutely cannot be deleted... "

Tang Wu nodded silently when she heard this.

Why didn't she know this? After all, the nude scene needed to be drawn by the protagonist Li Wei with paper and brushes. It was precisely because of this painting that it was seen by the elderly Deng Qingsi decades later. A series of follow-up memory shots.

It can be said that the whole movie relies on this painting to advance the plot. With this painting, Deng Qingsi can walk into memories.

"My suggestion is to use a bare replacement."

Xu Weizhou said: "Any great work is inseparable from the dedication and sacrifice of the actors."

"I'll think about it again."

Tang Wu said.

Xu Weizhou nodded: "I'm about to leave for Guangguang Group today. The preparations for the entire crew will be carried out by me. I plan to start the production after autumn, so you still have a long time to think about it. Don't worry about replying to me."

With Tang Wu's consent, Xu Weizhou hung up the phone. In fact, he was not too sure whether Tang Wu was determined to act in this movie. Her representative work is a very high-quality actress. Even if she doesn't star in "Steel", she still has a lot of scripts for her to choose from.

However, if he wants to have a masterpiece that will be famous in history, Xu Weizhou thinks that now is a very good opportunity.

After exercising in the gym, eating lunch, and taking a nap for 10 minutes, Xu Weizhou left for the Enlight Group, preparing to sign a director contract with Tan Gaohan on "Steel".

But what he never expected was that the meeting place between Tan Gaohan and him was not in the Guangguang Group, but in a very brand new office building on the Fifth Ring Road that was just decorated, a long distance from the business center of the city where the Guangguang Group is located. A long distance, almost out of the capital.

After arriving at the place, Tan Gaohan was already waiting in front of the office building.

The office building has three floors.

However, it is not so much an office building as it is a huge factory. The outer wall seems to have just been renovated and is very bright. There are four large characters "everything in the sky" printed on it. Even if it is separated by one or two kilometers Seeing the majestic four hot golden characters, especially under the sunlight, they emit a beautiful golden light.

Walking into the factory, you can see a huge space of more than [-] square meters. The first floor is full of exhibition halls, surrounded by some desks and chairs that have not been removed from the plastic film, and the middle is empty. Looking up, you can see the huge glass skylight on the third floor, and the sunlight can shine straight in, making it very bright.

Only then did Xu Weizhou realize that the whole building seemed a bit like a bird's nest.

The second floor is for offices, and the third floor is for leisure, entertainment, restaurants and other facilities.

"here it is……"

Knowing this time, Xu Weizhou couldn't help being puzzled and asked.

Tan Gaohan said with a smile: "Director Xu, this place is called Sen Luo Wan Xiang, and it is also Han Sen's personal studio."

"Such a big studio?" Xu Weizhou was a little shocked.

It wasn't that he was shocked by such a large studio, but that Han Sen had such a large personal studio at such a young age. He immediately reacted and asked, "Isn't Han Sen an artist of Guangguang Group? Didn’t you just sign a contract for one year? Now you’ve set up a personal studio? You’ve terminated the contract with Light?”

"It's not a termination of the contract. Han Sen's establishment of a personal studio was unified by the Guangguang Group, and it is legal and reasonable, so director Xu should not worry. Even if he cooperates with Han Sen's personal studio, the various resources of the Guangguang Group , will still be used by Han Sen's studio."

"That is, in the way of affiliation? Isn't this the same treatment as Li Ang?"

Xu Weizhou couldn't hide his surprise in his heart. He didn't know much about Han Sen. Even though he was famous all over the country, he only had a huge influence in the music world. Although Han Sen was famous in the film world, he was still far away. It can't reach the point where big directors like Xu Weizhou pay special attention.

All he knew about Han Sen was a little encyclopedia search before going to bed last night.

Now it seems that Han Sen's achievements, strength and influence far exceed what he knows from the information.

Moment of emotion.

The younger generation has unexpectedly produced such a terrifying character.

Immediately, he came back to his senses: "That is to say, all the copyrights of the script of "Steel Man" are in Sen Luo Wan Xiang? If I want to sign a contract, I can only sign with Sen Luo Wan Xiang?"

"In theory, yes." Tan Gaohan nodded.

Xu Weizhou remained silent for a long time.

Having been in this industry for so long, he has a clear grasp of some of the benefits.

This studio has just been established. As a leading director in China, he announces that he will cooperate with this little-known studio in his next film. The market valuation of this studio will definitely skyrocket. A level of horror.

He hesitated for a while, and while visiting the studio, he asked, "How much money are you going to invest in the preparation of "Steel Man"?"

Tan Gaohan replied: "According to Han Sen's request, the entire steel ship has to be restored to a 1:1 model, so the cost is huge, and the investment scale is temporarily estimated to be [-] million."

Xu Weizhou paused. It wasn't that he looked down on Han Sen, but after all, Han Sen had just debuted for a year. Even in the past year, Han Sen risked his life to earn [-] million?

He shook his head and said: "With all due respect, without the help of Guangguang Group, the biggest financial problem cannot be solved, and this "Steel" may be difficult to produce."

Tan Gaohan said with a smile: "Light over there, I have actually read the script earlier, and they directly refused to invest in this movie, so we can only find foreign aid to attract investment. Judging from Han Sen's current popularity and strength, he alone It should be no problem for people to bring in [-] million yuan in the capital market."

Xu Weizhou fell into deep thought, and after a while, he said again: "If the steel ship is restored at a ratio of 1:1, I personally think that [-] million is far from enough, at least [-] million can produce the most perfect effect. "

"For 20 million, it needs more than 20 billion at the box office to pay back, and with [-] billion at the box office, you can enter the top ten movies at the annual box office."

Xu Weizhou said slowly: "If you are really willing to fight, you must be prepared for the studio and related companies to go bankrupt at any time."

Now even Tan Gaohan was silent.

In his previous budget, the filming of "The Iron Man" only needed one or two hundred million yuan, but when Han Sen proposed a 1:1 restoration of the real scene, he doubled the budget, which would cost three to four hundred million yuan.

The [-] million he reported to Xu Weizhou just now was actually too high.

But I didn't expect Xu Weizhou to be more ruthless. He directly said that at least [-] million can send the most perfect work.

Now Tan Gaohan is a little bit helpless.

To be honest, with an investment cost of [-] million, the risk is too high. If you are not very confident in this script, anyone will retreat.

But in the end, Tan Gaohan still said: "Even if you lose money, it's a big deal to start all over again. Moreover, with the current strength and popularity of Han Sen, he is still very appealing in the market. Even if it is [-] million, it can be prepared. .”

Now even Xu Weizhou gave Tan Gaohan a thumbs up: "Have courage."

After speaking, he didn't worry about whether the other party needed to use his fame to display the value of the studio anymore, he followed Tan Gaohan to the conference room, and even took time to make a phone call to ask his assistant and lawyer to come with their seals sign a contract.

Xu Weizhou also owns a company, and the daily contracts are signed by the company, which can be regarded as avoiding risks. Therefore, even if the company goes bankrupt and liquidated, it has little to do with Xu Weizhou.

But this is just a cautious strategy for avoiding risks. If there is no risk, then everything will be happy.
