What should I do if my girlfriend is famous and doesn't dump me?

Chapter 165 For This Matter (Monthly Pass Plus Update)
How many directors are there in the circle?
Obviously a lot.

There are definitely no shortage of excellent directors.

There are not many directors like Ning Yuan who have made a stunning movie.

If he goes to a big company with fierce competition, he may have the opportunity to direct.

But such opportunities may not be many.

Even as he himself said, if the next movie fails, it may not be so easy to find another opportunity.

But if he sneaks into Zhang Yu's studio, then it is very likely that a movie will be made immediately.

"have a look."

Zhang Yu took out a script and handed it over.

Ning Yuan was also polite, and immediately took it.

Compared with the first time he took over Zhang Yu's script, there is obviously no contempt and doubt.

"A low-cost comedy." Zhang Yu said, "However, I think it should be good."

Zhang Yu finally chose a low-budget comedy.

Of course, Zhang Yu is not short of money now, at least he doesn't have to search and search like the original version.

In terms of actor selection, you can also choose some wrists.

In this way, the box office should be more secure.

Of course, it is too early to think about what will happen in the end.

"Huh? Multi-line narrative?"

Ning Yuan frowned, said this, and then flipped through it again.

Seeing this, Zhang Yu didn't say anything, but waited quietly.

"This movie is interesting." Ning Yuan looked at Zhang Yu and said, "I have to go back and think about it? This time, how much are you going to invest?"

"Don't ask me, ask Lao Fang." Zhang Yu shook his head and said.

The cost of filming and production will not be too high, mainly depends on the salary of the actors.

It is high, and there is high how to shoot.

It is low, and there is how to shoot low.

"Buried Alive" can be shot by Zhang Yu for [-] million yuan, and this movie is even more easy.

However, that's obviously not necessary.

Zhang Yu is not going to make any film that will be well-received or not popular this time.

It's best to get a lot of praise, but it's okay if you don't!
Zhang Yu has only one position on this movie: investor!
"Buried Alive" director Ning Yuan signed Zhang Shisan's studio.

This news still caused quite a stir in the circle.

Many people don't understand why Ningyuan chose a newly established studio when so many big companies approached him?
"Does Ning Yuan have a new film coming up?" Wang Mei approached Zhang Yu and asked straight to the point.

"Why is Sister Hua so sure?"

Zhang Yu asked with a smile.

He didn't deny it, nor did he need to.

"If that wasn't the case, why would he sign into your studio?" Wang Mei said, "Are you participating?"

"Not sure yet." Zhang Yu shook his head and said, "Probably not. Why, does the company have an idea?"

"I definitely have ideas." Wang Mei said, "With a company joining, it will undoubtedly be more secure for your film."

Zhang Yu did not deny this.

He didn't even think about eating alone.

Even if he's confident the film won't lose money.

Letting Wansheng Film and Television participate in the investment, Zhang Yu may not always lose money.

His studio is obviously not mature enough in terms of film and television production, distribution, etc., and there is even only one framework.

The company's participation can naturally save a lot of things.

What's more, his studio is still affiliated with Wansheng Film and Television.

It cannot be avoided.

What we have to talk about now is nothing more than investment and benefit distribution.

"How much does the company want to invest?" Zhang Yu asked.

"Just nod your head." Wang Mei said, "As for how to operate it, let them discuss it."

Ning Yuan and Zhang Yu cooperate again, and the company is naturally very optimistic.

The only regret is that Zhang Yu doesn't seem to be planning to participate.

If he doesn't participate, then the company's positioning of the movie will naturally drop.

Zhang Yu nodded and said nothing.

How to talk about it, neither of them need to participate.

Wang Mei jumped to Wansheng Film and Television. In addition to being in charge of artist management, she was also responsible for the investment and production of some film and television works.

If you can't develop better, why jump from the nest?

Wang Mei obviously has more resources at her disposal now.

"How about your album?" Wang Mei asked.

Wansheng Film and Television has some shortcomings in music, but it does not mean that it is incapable.

The company even used Zhang Yu's album to completely open up channels in this regard.

"The recording of the song is almost done." Zhang Yu said, "The next step is to shoot the MV."

"Ning Yuan probably won't take this job, right?" Wang Mei said.

Zhang Yu probably wouldn't let Ning Yuan take the picture either.

Pure waste.

Asking a film director to make a MV is overkill.

"Is the company suitable?" Zhang Yu asked.

"Then I'll arrange one for you." Wang Mei said, "This year's Golden Dragon Awards, you have a good chance of winning the award. Are you really planning to take advantage of the momentum and take on a few plays?"

"Sister Hua is doing this today?" Zhang Yu looked at Wang Mei with a smile.

He thought that the other party came for Ning Yuan's new film before, but now it seems that he wants him to take over the film.

They may have made their mark with "Buried Alive", but it's not likely that a big company like Wansheng Film and Television will pay much attention to it.

"Does Director Chen Shan know?" Wang Mei nodded and said.

She really came here for it.

"How could you not know?" Zhang Yu said with a smile.

Chen Shannai is a top domestic director and one of the directors with the most box office appeal.

There are only a handful of domestic companies that can be compared with it.

"Director Chen won't sign with Wansheng Film and Television, will he?" Zhang Yu then asked in surprise.

"Yeah!" Wang Mei nodded and said, "His new film has invested over [-] million yuan."

[-] million investment?

This is definitely a blockbuster.

Has there been such a large investment in China?

less.

With an investment of [-] million, without a box office of [-] billion, it is a loss.

However, there are really not many films with a domestic box office of more than one billion.

The risks are obviously not small.

Even Chen Shan's box office appeal is very strong.

Zhang Hang's "The Great Wall" has a good reputation. It was so popular when it was released, but now it is only in the early billions.

"Such a blockbuster movie, shouldn't it be my turn?" Zhang Yu said, "Don't you give priority to signing artists under Wansheng Film and Television?"

Zhang Yu seems to be considered an artist under Wansheng Film and Television.

But he is affiliated with the studio, and he obviously has no "pro" with those artists who directly signed contracts with Wansheng Film and Television.

"It's not the number one male." Wang Mei glanced at Zhang Yu and said, "No accident, the number one male is Li Hua."

"Ok?"

Zhang Yu looked at Wang Mei in surprise.

Li Hua is an international kung fu superstar, and only Cheng Jie can be compared with him.

Zhang Yu is very popular now, but compared with Li Hua, he is naturally not a little bit worse.

Li Hua played the leading male role, and he played a supporting role, which is not ashamed.

"Is he going back to China to develop?" Zhang Yu asked immediately.

Li Hua seems to be doing well in Hollywood.

He is much younger than Cheng Jie, and he is not too immovable.

"Director Chen wants to go abroad for this film." Wang Mei said, "Wansheng Group's entry into film and television is not only focused on the domestic market. What's more, Wansheng Group also has many theaters abroad."

"[-] million investment is considered a big movie in China." Zhang Yu said, "But if it is placed in Hollywood, it is only a medium-sized one. Li Hua's salary is not low. Even if a friendly price is charged, it may not be less than [-] million. Plus The other actors' remuneration, the production cost of this movie"

The cost of filming and production is probably less than half.

However, it is not bad in the country.

"The production cost of filming in China is not as high as that of Hollywood." Wang Mei said, "Do you think it's like you filmed "Buried Alive"?"

Zhang Yu smiled awkwardly.

For the same thing, the cost of filming and production in Hollywood will at least double.

Among other things, the daily fee for extras is different.

"With the blessing of Li Hua, an international superstar, why do you want me?" Zhang Yu said.

"The target audience is different!" Wang Mei said, "In China, Li Hua may not be able to compare with you among young movie fans."

Does Li Hua appeal to young fans?

Have!
However, he has been in Hollywood all year round, and the exposure rate in China is not high. Among the young people, it is hard to say how popular Li Hua is at the box office.

Then why are you still looking for Zhang Yu?
It's nothing more than an insurance policy.

Such an investment is risky, so it is better to have more insurance.

"Then why do you want me to act?" Zhang Yu asked, "Male number two, or number three, number four, or cameo?"

If it's a cameo, Wang Mei doesn't have to make a trip in person.

"It's the male number two!" Wang Mei said, "The villain! He has a lot of scenes with Li Hua."

"Let me read the script first!" Zhang Yu said after thinking about it.

He didn't directly refuse, but he didn't readily agree either.

If the script is good, Zhang Yu will naturally not refuse, and he doesn't have to act in the script he "wrote".

But if the script blocked him, he really didn't want to waste time.

Obviously Wang Mei had already prepared, and the script was brought along.

""palace"?"

Zhang Yu looked at the title and was a little surprised. The title reminded him of a TV series.

However, he didn't think too much, and immediately started to read the script.

This movie has nothing to do with the TV series he knows.

This is a court movie.

It's about a palace coup.

The male protagonist is the uncle of the emperor who holds a heavy army and defends against foreign enemies.

And what about the villains?

It was the crown prince of the dynasty who killed his father to seize the throne for a woman, and wanted to kill the emperor's uncle and regain his military power.

Well, that woman is the main character's fiancée.

Then, a court battle.

The villain dies from the protagonist.

Or died on that woman.

So is the script.

However, it is estimated that there are many big scenes.

Among them, there are several battlefield scenes.

As for the role of the crown prince, he is cruel and merciless, with a touch of madness.

But it also gives people a feeling of loving beauty but not Jiangshan.

Infatuated, or stupid?
Especially for the attitude towards the heroine, Zhang Yu was very displeased.

Don't lick the dog!

However, the role of this role is quite important, not much worse than the protagonist.

"Has Li Hua read this script?" Zhang Yu looked at Wang Mei and said.

"That's not there yet." Wang Mei said, "What's wrong?"

"I feel like he won't answer," Zhang Yu said.

Wang Mei frowned.

Li Hua won't answer?
Why did Zhang Yu think so? Obviously, he didn't like the script.

He doesn't want to pick it up.

"You don't like this movie?" Wang Mei said.

Although she is not leading the film, she is also one of the participants.

If the movie doesn't meet expectations, she will also be under a lot of pressure.

"It's hard to say." Zhang Yu shook his head and said, "However, I don't like the role of the prince."

How about the movie, with his eyes, can he tell it?
Give me a break.

He is just a newcomer who just made his debut, and he made a successful movie by luck.

Those well-known producers in the circle may not be sure about a movie that has not yet started shooting.

Zhang Yu didn't have much research on the movie market.

What's more, this movie wants to go international.

Zhang Yu doesn't know much about the domestic market, let alone foreign markets.

If he really understood, he wouldn't lose a commercial building in Xiangjiang.

"Then let's talk about it after Li Hua's reply!" Wang Mei thought for a while and said.

Zhang Yu didn't say anything, but his attitude was already clear.

If Li Hua accepts it, he will accept it.

It's not for this movie, but for the rivalry with Li Hua.

If Li Hua didn't answer, he naturally wouldn't.

Zhang Yu nodded.

He didn't like the movie, but he didn't think it would be a bad movie either.

It doesn't matter if you pat.

After Wang Mei left, Zhang Yu continued to work on the album, and occasionally discussed the low-budget movie with Ning Yuan.

On the other hand, Fang Zhengxian connected with Wansheng Film and Television to discuss the matter of the film.

He will serve as the producer of the film.

"You really don't want to act?" Ning Yuan looked at Zhang Yu and said.

"Do you think I have a suitable role for me?" Zhang Yu asked.

Ning Yuan thought about it, and it seemed that there was really no such thing.

At least the protagonist of the movie is obviously not suitable for Zhang Yu to play.

supporting role?

Will that steal the limelight from the main character?
"International thief?" Ning Yuan said.

If you are not looking for a role, it is not that you cannot find it.

It's just whether it's necessary.

"It's best to find an actor from Xiangjiang for that role." Zhang Yu shook his head and said, "I don't think it's necessary to invite any big names for this film."

Fang Zhengxian nodded beside him.

"Why did you keep it up this time?" Ning Yuan smiled and shook his head, and said, "You are much richer now than before."

Zhang Yu's net worth now is indeed much higher than when he filmed "Buried Alive".

"Buried Alive" has now broken through [-] million at the box office, approaching the [-] million mark, but it has made a lot of money for Zhang Yu.

"When you have more money one day, you will find yourself getting poorer and poorer." Zhang Yu shook his head and said, "Besides, didn't you make me like this?"

"And the success or failure of this film depends on the plot." Zhang Yu went on to say, "Maybe the big names can bless the film, but they are not the key to success or failure."

None of the original actors in this movie are famous.

In addition to Guo Tao who plays the leading actor Bao Shihong, Xu Zheng who plays Feng Dong is also somewhat famous.

Correct!
This small-budget comedy movie that Zhang Yu gave Ning Yuan is: "Crazy Stone"!
Ning Yuan may be a good director, but Zhang Yu would not just give him a blockbuster movie.

He may not be able to control blockbusters now.

What a big production for a newly established studio!
Although Zhang Yu will not participate in this film, he will serve as the producer.

The three immediately discussed the choice of actors.

Actors are naturally outstanding and considered signing artists of Wansheng Film and Television.

There is nothing to say.

"Who will play Mike?" Ning Yuan asked.

There are no artists from Xiangjiang under Wansheng Film and Television.

Of course, it's not the same as Hong Kong nationality.

"How about Hong Haoming?" Zhang Yu asked.

He really doesn't know two Xiangjiang actors, but Hong Haoming is also suitable.

He's not well paid either.

"He will pick it up?" Fang Zhengxian said.

Did he know that Hong Haoming was not well-known, but he really didn't lack for drama, who made him have a father who played an important role in the circle.

"The Golden Dragon River Awards Ceremony will be held in a few days. He should attend. I'll ask then." Zhang Yu said after thinking about it.

Ning Yuan also nodded.

He obviously had an impression of Hong Haoming.

"Both of you are shortlisted, so I don't know if you can come back with an award." Fang Zhengxian said with a smile.

"It should be impossible for me." Ning Yuan shook his head, then looked at Zhang Yu and said, "You probably won't leave empty-handed, at least the best newcomer award won't be missed."

"Buried Alive" is not shortlisted for many awards, but Ning Yuan is obviously not optimistic.

Being shortlisted was already beyond his expectations.

　Before the monthly ticket was [-], it was added, but now it is [-] and [-] words are added, right?Try to guarantee a minimum of [-] words this month!
