This actor is punished

Chapter 34 Total Investment 1 Small Goal!

The classic degree of "Let the Bullets Fly" is definitely beyond doubt. This is a movie that has withstood the test of countless moviegoers in previous lives.

In this way, Wu Zui told Zhou Ming all the plot in his mind.

When it came to the end, Zhou Ming's eyes were full of light.

"Okay! Okay!" Zhou Ming looked at Wu Zui and said, "I really didn't expect Wu Zui to have such a rich imagination. I think you not only have the qualities of an actor, but also the talent of a screenwriter." There are all of them!"

As an industry insider, Zhou Ming naturally has his own unique vision, knowing what kind of scripts will look good when shot.

The story Wu Zui is telling now is so ingenious that even many veteran screenwriters in the industry may not be able to conceive it.

Film and TV screenwriting is completely different from writing novels. Although both are writing stories, the difference is huge.

In novels, you can describe very carefully, the foreshadowing and turning points of various plots, and then from plain to climax.

You can use millions of words to arbitrarily complete this process and build a complete world view and story.

But film and television dramas don't allow you to do this.

A movie is only one or two hours long, and if it is longer, it will be just over three hours.

As a screenwriter, what you have to do is to insert as much content as possible into this limited plot of one or two hours in an orderly manner.

This is a very difficult thing, because in one or two hours, the story must be explained, and the story must not be messy, and various details must be considered.

So you can also see that in many TV series or movies adapted from novels, the screenwriter is often not the author.

Because the script has been streamlined and adapted by the screenwriter, otherwise there is no way to completely put it on the screen.

If it is really filmed according to the plot in the novel, then that TV series can have a longer life than works such as "Naruto" and "Detective Conan".

So, not everyone can write or think of a story suitable for a movie.

But now the plot that Wu Zui said is very suitable!

"I even think that your story doesn't need to be improved by the screenwriter. You just need to find a screenwriter and write it in the form of a script according to your ideas!"

Wu Zui smiled awkwardly, because only he knew that this was not some talent, but the accumulation of entertainment works from his previous world.

Zhou Ming said excitedly, "What's the name of this movie?"

""Let the Bullets Fly." Wu Zui thought for a while, but decided to say the original name.

"A good name, it fits the theme very well, and there is a blank space from the name." Zhou Ming nodded approvingly: "Let me tell you about this investment in detail."

Wu Zui cheered up a little.

The film I participated in, that is, "Giant Owl", although the current box office results are very good, but in fact there is not much shooting cost at all, and it can be regarded as a low-cost film.

The cost of shooting the whole film is about 1500 million.

Among them, 500 million yuan was invested by Zhou Ming.

The remaining 1000 million was made up by Zhou Ming selling houses and cars and borrowing money after the filming exceeded his budget and the funds were exhausted.

At that time, it can really be said that all the money was spent on the blade, and I wish I could break a penny in half and spend it.

The various conditions of the crew were also very difficult. Everyone fed mosquitoes for several months in the deep mountains. The place where they lived was humid and hot, and there was no air conditioning. Like a steamer, they often woke up with stinky sweat.

Then there is no need for makeup, Wu Zui just puts on his oily hair, he is a natural tropical rainforest tycoon.

The final result was not bad either. Wu Zui successfully used his on-screen image to scare many children to tears during the National Day festival.

And this time the filming funds
"1 million!" Zhou Ming took a deep breath and said the number solemnly.

"Hiss—" Wu Zui's scalp went numb, and he was also taken aback.

He almost said the phrase 'fuck', and he was shocked enough.

Is this just a small goal?
I have to say that the span is really quite large.

Not long ago, I was still worrying about money, and the funds were seriously insufficient. Now I have a small goal of funds to shoot works.

All I can say is, is the boss really awesome?

However, this also made what Wu Zui wanted to say come to a screeching halt.

Originally, he wanted to say that he had earned some money from his last film, and he wanted to see if Zhou Ming needed to invest.

But look at this small goal, and look at the pitiful 70 in my pocket.
He still didn't say that.

"So now you should have the resources to invite real big names?" Wu Zui asked.

How about the movie "Let the Bullets Fly"?It's definitely different from "Giant Owl".

Ju Xiao, you can use more young actors, that's okay, because it is quite realistic.

But "Let the Bullets Fly" is really not suitable for the participation of so many new-generation actors, and this film requires more acting skills, and it is more difficult technically.

Moreover, this movie is not an ordinary funny movie. In fact, there are many details hidden in the plot, and even many reflections and connotations, including many famous characters in modern history.

If you want to interpret these, it depends on your personal understanding. What I said in detail here is easy to be erased by the unspeakable power of the supreme power, and it will be erased from the root.

"Yes, there are several candidates." Zhou Ming also nodded and admitted: "The next step is to contact them."

Then, apart from the discussion, Wu Zui also told Zhou Ming about being contacted by Tianding Entertainment, and asked Zhou Ming for his suggestion.

Zhou Ming pondered for a moment, and then gave his own answer.

"Tianding Entertainment, I have a little understanding of this. Although it is not a wealthy company, it can be regarded as an upper-middle level in the circle. The performance of many works and the reputation in the circle are also remarkable. Only But if you sign with their family, I still advise you to think twice."

"Is there anything worth noting?" Wu Zui asked.

"That's not true, it's just that this company hasn't achieved results for a long time, coupled with poor management and investment, the current situation is not very good, and there are even rumors that it may face restructuring."

Signing a contract with a brokerage company is an important decision for an actor's career.

The quality of the contracted company also largely determines the actor's future career life.

So I have to be cautious, the water in the circle is still very deep.

Zhou Ming didn't hide from Wu Zui either, and talked to Wu Zui about the inner circle.

For example, some brokerage companies will let their artists go out to accompany them for drinks. Sometimes you can't even refuse, because many terms are written on it.

Why are there so many people who stick to things in the entertainment circle now?

Mostly for these reasons.

For example, if you accompany the boss and everyone is drinking, if you don’t drink, you will not give the boss face. You see, if you disobey the face of the big boss, will your life in the circle be easier in the future.

In their words, that is, will do things.

Moreover, there are many deeper darkness, which ordinary people like Wu Zui cannot touch.

Of course, many brokerage companies still don't have so many nonsense things, but objectively speaking, this kind of thing exists in the circle, or it doesn't, and the chaos in the circle is also overall.
