Actor without ambition

Chapter 184 Investing
"International Thief Mike? A very compelling character?" Zhang Yuxuan's expression was a little subtle. Does this character have a compelling character?
In fact, this role was originally prepared by Ning Hao for Andy Lau, but Andy Lau obviously didn't have time to make such a low-budget movie. After all, Andy Lau's salary alone already exceeded the investment of the entire movie.

Andy Lau didn't come, originally Ning Hao wanted to choose an artist under Andy Lau's company, but——

Even if the other party is a third-tier star, but he is from Xiangjiang, the salary is also not low. If he joins the crew, the film salary of the other party alone will have to catch up with the sum of all the other actors' salaries combined.

How to do?Change people, after all, the crew of "Crazy Stone" is really poor.

At this time, Huang Bo recommended his friend Zhang Yuxuan, and also said that Zhang Yuxuan was very rich. If Ning Hao's ability to fool people is strong enough, he might be able to fool Zhang Yuxuan into investing.

So, there is the scene in front of it.

Li Ling flipped through the script, and unexpectedly found that the quality of the script was not bad!
It's just that the role of the international thief Mike mentioned by Ning Hao doesn't seem to be very qualified.

When he first appeared on the stage, he seemed to be quite awesome, but after that, he was unable to explain it again and again, but he seemed to be a rather funny character.

But for this role, it seems good for Zhang Yuxuan to be the first role in the film industry-well, Zhang Yuxuan has also made a movie before, Qing Hong, that is the movie, the male protagonist Xiao Gen, is there any, It doesn't seem to have any influence at all, so, it doesn't count, it doesn't count the movies that Zhang Yuxuan has starred in.

"How is it? This script is not bad. After Liu Dehua saw my script, he liked it at a glance. He knew it was a good script, so he decided to invest in my movie on the spot." Ning Hao said in a showy tone. talking.

"However, the money Andy Lau invested is still not enough for you to finish this movie, so you want to attract investment." Li Ling said in a flat tone, without any fluctuations.

"...Well, it's actually because I'm too meticulous, so the requirements for shooting are a little higher. If I save a little, the money is still enough." Ning Hao quibbled.

"That's just right, we don't need to invest. In fact, we have never made any investment before, and we are very unfamiliar with this model, so we are not willing to get involved in this way easily." Li Ling closed The script Zhan Zhan said.

"Um, no, um, I myself still have a great pursuit of movies, and I want to keep improving and make better movies. So if it's investment, it's better to need more." Ning Hao said hastily.

Ning Hao felt bitter and depressed.

He is also poor himself and has no money, otherwise he would never want to make a fool of himself for a little investment.

In fact, the actors in the crew are also rich, such as Xu Zheng, although Xu Zheng is also a newcomer in the film industry, but he has made many popular movies and accepted many commercials, and his net worth is quite high.

It's just that Xu Zheng can act in movies with zero pay, but he won't invest in movies with additional money.After all, he is still very unfamiliar with movies now, and he is still a newcomer.

Ning Hao also heard Huang Bo say this before, and then he couldn't help but target Zhang Yuxuan.

It's just that he didn't expect that Zhang Yuxuan's manager Li Ling would be so difficult to deal with.

"Okay Sister Cod, since I'm here, and Director Ning is so—well, so difficult, I'll vote." Zhang Yuxuan waved his hand and said with a smile.

Hearing what Zhang Yuxuan said, Ning Hao looked at Zhang Yuxuan with gratitude in his eyes.

The reason why Zhang Yuxuan invested was because he would not lose money, and on the other hand, he wanted to establish a good relationship with Ning Hao. More precisely, Zhang Yuxuan liked Ning Hao, so he wanted to invest in him.

After all, after Ning Hao, he will be one of the most powerful directors in China. As long as he can catch Ning Hao, he will definitely go very far in the film industry.

"Director Ning, tell me the number. As long as it's not too much, I'll vote." Zhang Yuxuan said to Ning Hao in a gentle tone.

"50——No, 30, 20, 20 is enough." Ning Hao said excitedly, but he was worried that the number he said would scare Zhang Yuxuan away, so he did not wait for Zhang Yuxuan to open his mouth. Actively lower prices.

"Okay, then 20. Director Ning, I'll take this as your friend." Zhang Yuxuan smiled and stretched out his right hand to Ning Hao.

Ning Hao grabbed Zhang Yuxuan's right hand with both hands, and shook it vigorously, which was called excited: "Okay, we will be friends from now on, no, brothers, from now on you, Zhang Yuxuan, will be my brother of Ning Hao!"

Although it was only 20, it was a very large number for Ning Hao.

For this movie, Andy Lau invested a total of 300 million yuan. Ning Hao gave himself a director fee of 15 yuan, but while filming, he found that the money was not enough. He had no choice but to give himself the 15 yuan director fee. It was filled in, but the money was still not enough. In the end, he abruptly filled in all the money he earned from shooting commercials before, but the funds for the filming were still tight, and the funds might break at any time.

The 20 invested by Zhang Yuxuan is undoubtedly a life-saving panacea for Ning Hao.

As for why Zhang Yuxuan only invested 20 instead of 30 or 50?Nature is also a matter of human nature.

Ning Hao himself has pushed down the money to 20, and Zhang Yuxuan insists on taking out 50 at this time, it will give Ning Hao a feeling that Zhang Yuxuan is very rich, and 50 is taken out casually. Saying it doesn't matter at all.In this situation, Ning Hao's gratitude to Zhang Yuxuan will be more or less discounted.

So Ning Hao lowered it down to 20, so he just took 20.Don't be smart and add more.

Moreover, in terms of investment, the investment of investing in movies is not as good as the investment in demolition houses. 20 yuan invested in movies is really not as cost-effective as buying a house for demolition and other demolition.Well, based on this calculation, Zhang Yuxuan seems to be at a loss?

"Yuxuan, I will change the role of Mike again to make him even better and add more scenes." Ning Hao said very proudly.

"Don't, don't, just follow your script. It's fine to make some minor changes that don't affect the script, but if the quality of the whole script is affected by adding scenes, then it's not good." Zhang Yuxuan quickly persuaded.

"Hey, brother, you are smart, look at my head, do it, I will change it a little bit, and try to make the role of Mike better without affecting the script." Ning Hao took a picture of himself. said the head.

In a few words, Zhang Yuxuan and Ning Hao became brothers.

Huang Bo on the side couldn't help biting his teeth, the change was too fast.

When Huang Bo was in school, he met Ning Hao by chance. The two had a good temper, and gradually became friends.This time when making a movie, Ning Hao felt that Huang Bo was suitable for a role in his movie, so he invited Huang Bo without further ado.The relationship between the two is solid.

But the relationship is iron, not iron enough to become brothers.

Looking at the first meeting in front of him—oh, no, it was the second meeting, the two people who just called each other brothers, Huang Bo felt a little sour for no reason.

"That's all right, all right, you two stop talking, don't be brothers and sisters, Yuxuan just flew up to the mountain city, and he hasn't rested yet, let's take a good rest today, and let's have a rest in the evening." table, have a good drink, and shoot directly tomorrow."

"Huang Bo is right, brother Yuxuan, you rest first, brother, I will set up a table for you tonight." Ning Hao said hastily.

"Brother Ning Hao will trouble you that night."

After Ning Hao and Huang Bo left, Zhang Yuxuan did feel a little tired. He took a shower, and then slept on the bed for two hours to rest.

After waking up, it was still early. Zhang Yuxuan took out the script again and opened it. There is not much difference between this script and the movie in his memory. Occasionally there are some subtle differences, but it shouldn't have any effect.

As for the role of International Thief Mike, the setting in this script is a Xiangjiang native from Xiangjiang, and his image and clothing somewhat fit Andy Lau.

Obviously, when Ning Hao created this character, he really wrote it according to Andy Lau.

A ruthless and ruthless international thief, he also has principles, but was tricked by a few gangsters, and finally got the jade with great difficulty, but killed his employer.

This character is very serious throughout the whole process. There is no need for any funny plots. You can completely play this role as a serious drama character, just combine him with other plots. , will form a kind of contrast, the kind that makes people can't help laughing.

Indeed, this is also a very brilliant role.

For this role, Zhang Yuxuan is confident that he can play it well.

In the evening, Ning Hao brought a group of people to clean up Zhang Yuxuan.

Besides Ning Hao and Huang Bo, there are also Xu Zheng, Wang Xun, Guo Tao, Liu Hua and others.

One by one, facing Zhang Yuxuan, they were quite enthusiastic.

Enthusiasm is also right.In the entire crew, only Xu Zheng's reputation can be compared with Zhang Yuxuan's, the rest of the people are either unknown or outdated actors.Compared with Zhang Yuxuan, it is not 01:30 points.

And the entertainment industry is such a realistic place. Zhang Yuxuan is very popular and famous, so he will naturally be respected by others, so it is only on the surface.

"Come on, let us welcome Zhang Yuxuan to join us, let's have a toast."

"cheers!"

"Done!"

"Dry!"
