Chapter 665 Stale Negotiation

Yang Muwen's home.

Looking at the two scripts in front of him, he hesitated.

When it comes to the quality of the script, Yi Shuihan Studio's "Infernal Affairs" is obviously slightly better. This script is even better than Yang Muwen expected.

The logic is rigorous, the logic is rigorous, the plot is closely linked, and the protagonist and supporting roles are very three-dimensional and full.

It's not just a battle of wits and courage between police and gangsters, there are reflections on human nature, discussions on psychology, and questions about right and wrong.

Let him keep in mind after reading it, and every time he chews and enjoys it, he has new thoughts and feelings.In addition, there are many blank spaces in this movie, and many details are worthy of scrutiny. Many questions can be asked one by one, which is intriguing and penetrating.

What's even more rare is that this script jumped out of the usual routines of police and gangster movies, which made people feel moved and shocked.

But it's a pity that the investor of this movie is the little-known Yi Shuihan Studio, which made him hesitate.

He knows that if the investor is not strong enough, he will encounter various problems, and even the film may be stranded due to the capital chain.

In terms of strength, it is clear that the Poseidon Group, which is preparing to shoot "Prison Storm", is stronger and has better distribution channels and resources.

As far as the script is concerned, "Prison Storm" is also good. After all, it has been carefully selected, but if it is compared with "Infernal Affairs", the difference is not just one level.

But directing this "Prison Storm" has no worries, he just needs to make this movie well.

Let's see when we meet again... Yang Muwen frowned and thought.

On the other side, Yi Shuihan has already asked Liu Haoyu for an interview about "Infernal Affairs".

"A hero is a boy!" Liu Haoyu patted Yi Shuihan's shoulder and said in admiration.

Liu Haoyu has been in this circle for decades, and he has seen many young people with different talents and talents.

But it can be said that there are very few young people in front of them who can achieve this kind of achievement at this age.

It's just that no matter how powerful it is, it's just a young man!There is no way to compare with an old senior with profound qualifications like him.

"Director Liu is awesome, let's sit down and discuss in detail!" Yi Shuihan said in a neither humble nor overbearing manner. Today he is not only representing a junior in the entertainment industry, but also a representative of studios and film investors.

Although Liu Haoyu's demeanor was a bit unruly, it was the confidence of a top film director, and Yi Shuihan didn't take it seriously.

"Okay, let's sit down and talk!" Liu Haoyu smiled heartily, and said after taking his seat, "I never expected you to be an investor at your age. You are really amazing, but the film industry is the same as the business circle. Accidentally lose everything, so young people have to be steady step by step, this is my old man's nagging..."

Yi Shuihan smiled slightly, and did not continue. Although he was praising Yi Shuihan in his words, there was one meaning expressed in both words and expressions, that is, Yi Shuihan was too young.

"Director Liu, have you read the "Infernal Affairs" that our studio submitted to you?" Yi Shuihan asked bluntly without dwelling on this issue.

"Well, I read it." Liu Haoyu nodded, his eyes twinkled and said: "The writing is very good! In fact, it is very risky for a fledgling studio...Have you ever considered selling this script? "

Yi Shuihan frowned, he thought that asking Liu Haoyu out was a good start, and Yi Shuihan was also very optimistic about Liu Haoyu's directing effect.

Liu Haoyu was born as a photographer and eventually transformed into a director. He has dabbled in gangster films, police films, romance films, suspense films, martial arts films, etc.

It is precisely by virtue of his rich experience, keen perspective, solid foundation and unique thinking that Liu Haoyu has broadened the horizons of police and gangster movies by blending and changing multiple types, and his ever-evolving but always unique narrative style makes him unique.

What's even more commendable is that while he is familiar with the rules of commercial film games, he pays special attention to the spiritual core and cultural characteristics of characters. The in-depth analysis of human nature makes his video works full of philosophical thinking.

This is very consistent with the theme of "Infernal Affairs".

Yi Shuihan believed that his "Infernal Affairs" could impress Liu Yuhao, but what he didn't expect was that he actually proposed to buy this script!
This made Yi Shuihan feel a little uncomfortable. The purpose of this interview was well understood by both parties, and the other party made this somewhat excessive request. Could it be that he was really too young to make the other party look at him squarely?
"I'm sorry, Director Liu, we have no plans to sell the script!" Yi Shuihan shook his head and said firmly.

"Really don't think about it at all? I can offer a high price of 300 million!" Liu Haoyu looked directly at Yi Shuihan and said softly.

300 million can even be said to be a record-breaking price for a script. So far, the highest price for a script in the entertainment industry is only 260 million!
This means that Liu Yuhao didn't just talk, he came with sincerity.

But it was this sincerity with ulterior motives that made Yi Shuihan frowned, and he repeated his position firmly: "I'm sorry, Director Liu!"

Seeing his firm expression, Liu Haoyu sighed in disappointment.

The moment he opened the script, he was deeply shocked.

As a film with Buddhist thought as its philosophical background, Liu Yuhao is so intoxicated by the contradictions of the character's loss after dislocation, self-help, and longing for freedom but eternal sinking.

The inescapable shackles of fate made the two protagonists in great pain suffer like hell. For them, living is more painful than dying...

The more you delve into it, the more shocking it will be!It's just this kind of shock... that made him want to take this script for himself.

It was just obvious that the firm eyes of the young man in front of him told him that this could only be an extravagant wish.

In this case... Then he can only consider the possibility of directing this movie for them. How could he be willing to give up this cake for such a work that is destined to be successful.

"That's a pity..." Liu Haoyu said with a sigh.

Yi Shuihan smiled, but didn't say a word: that is, it is not a pity for them at all!
"Then, I want to know how much you want to invest in this movie?" Liu Haoyu continued to ask.

Finally back to the topic, even though Yi Shuihan felt a little uncomfortable before, he could still distinguish the priorities.

He seriously replied: "The current investment budget is 1000 million, and the possibility of capital increase is not ruled out!"

"That's really not low!" Liu Haoyu was taken aback, he didn't expect Yi Shuihan to have such ambition and courage.

1000 million is not a small amount for any film and television group, he is willing to invest so much.

If it's such a big investment... he is even more optimistic about the future of this movie!

As long as the actors and the process are controlled by him, he is confident that he can shoot big-selling works.

"If I do the filming, I will decide the actors!" Liu Haoyu said loudly, this is his aura and confidence as a great director!

Generally speaking, the main actors of a film are negotiated by the investor and the director, but the possibility of some big directors claiming these rights cannot be ruled out.

Yi Shuihan pondered, it would be okay if the main role was decided by him, Yi Shuihan still believed in Liu Haoyu's professional level, of course, he had to take one of the two roles of Liu Jianming and Chen Yongren!

"The leading actor must be an actor with outstanding acting skills. In addition, I must be one of the two leading actors!" Yi Shuihan said firmly, this is a necessary condition.

Now it was Liu Yuhao's turn to frown. In fact, he didn't think of Yi Shuihan as a candidate for the leading role. In his opinion, these two complicated roles should be played by actors with more outstanding acting skills and more seasoned...

It's just that Yi Shuihan's acting skills...can handle such a role?
