Chapter 78 Lao Mouzi (Part [-])
"Senior Sister Xu, if you praise me like that, my tail will go up to the sky."

"Is the tail only sticking up? So I'm so unattractive. No wonder you didn't think of me when you made the music video for your record."

"Ahem. Sister Xu, you are the dream goddess of all the boys in our Nortel, but I didn't know that Sister Xu is also a temperamental person. Besides, it is not too wronged for an internationally renowned actor like you to shoot the MV. ?"

"You're joking, I'm just an ordinary actor, and I don't feel wronged by filming your MV."

"Senior Sister, you are too modest, but I will make a new album soon, if Senior Sister Xu is willing"

"Of course, this is my phone number, you must call me when the time comes"

"No problem, thank you so much Senior Sister Xu."

Qi Wei didn't expect Xu Qing to be so approachable, and he's already become acquainted with each other since the first meeting.

But you can understand it with a little thought.

Generally speaking, the box office appeal of actresses in the same class is far inferior to that of male actors.

In movies, many female characters are positioned as vases, so most actresses have little impact on the movie box office.

It is generally male actors who resist the box office of movies, which is why the Hong Kong and Taiwan entertainment circles have so much resistance to mainland male actors.

Actresses like Qi Wei's generation are more likely to get opportunities.

But also because of this, soft persimmons are easier to be manipulated. Once the box office is not satisfactory, actresses are more likely to be blamed.

Actresses themselves are more replaceable.

So after the blockbuster "Ode to Qin" hit the box office, it had the biggest impact on Xu Qing.

In the year of 97, Xu Qing didn't make a movie for almost a whole year.

She is at the lowest point of her career.

Xu Qing had heard that Qi Wei invested 100 million in the TV series "Jiang Ai", and now he casually invested 150 million in "Party A and Party B".

Although it looks like a "big water hose" who is ignorant and fearless, it shows Xu Qing's strength invisibly.

Xu Qing also regards Qi Wei as a choice to get rid of the slump in her career.

At the same time, Qi Wei, who is tall and tall, with broad shoulders and narrow waist, is very stylish in a tight-fitting suit, and has a handsome face like a reader, which also makes Xu Qing's eyes shine.

It's almost a circle younger in age, and it's a good piece of fresh meat.

It's the type that Xu Qing likes, it's her dish.

So she didn't mind at all and even expected something to happen with Qi Wei, which is why she acted a little unscrupulous when they first met.

So when Qi Wei was chatting with her, she took the initiative to hold Qi Wei's arm, and acted very ambiguously.

Qi Wei also understood the truth.

This is a woman who took the initiative to throw herself into her arms, and it is not difficult to take her down to taste her taste.

But the timing is not right now, Yan Danchen is by his side, even if she can pretend to turn a blind eye no matter how generous she is, Qi Wei still needs to consider her feelings.

After all, this is a woman Qi Wei puts a certain amount of affection into.

Not in a hurry, not to mention that Qi Wei has other things to deal with now.

TM's!Jiang Wen turned to himself for alms!I want to get money from myself to invest in his new movie!
What does Jiang Wen say? The first film he directed was "Sunny Day". This film earned a box office of 5000 million in the Mainland, which is the highest box office achieved by a purely Mainland film in the past few years.

This movie seems to have a good reputation at the box office, but in fact it did not bring much profit to the movie investors. During the period when the movie was released, the loss reached more than 1000 million.

why?Because the investment in this film is too high, the production cost alone is as high as more than 200 million US dollars.

For a movie with no big scenes, and almost all the leading actors are newcomers, why does the production cost such a high investment?

It's not that Jiang Wen came up with a straw hat worth thousands of dollars to cheat investors.

In fact, it was because Jiang Wen was too "strict" in making movies.

It is too serious to waste film when making movies.

When he made the movie "Sunny Day", he used more than 25 feet of film, and the film ratio reached a terrifying 1:15.

At that time, the average film ratio of mainland movies was 1:3, and those with a film ratio of 1:5 were benign big productions.

The cost of making movies with film is inherently high, and it costs money like water. Jiang Wen is the first in the mainland to waste so much film in making movies.

Oh, there is also such a person in Hong Kong City, who has been making movies for several years.Don't want the Wang sunglasses that both the actor and the investor have to cheat.

They are all masters of pitting investors to achieve themselves.

He won't hold back when making the new movie Jiang Wen, but that's not the point. The point is that the movie project he's preparing now is a sinkhole.

"The Red Lover" pales in comparison.

"Red Lover" can still be released at least, and after the investment, it can recover some costs through the box office.

Jiang Wen's new film project hehe, Qi Wei, who has the memory of later generations, knows it all too well.

There is no difference between throwing money in and throwing it in the sea.

Still want to recover some cost? !It would be nice not to be involved!
Even if Jiang Wen was killed in this movie, Qi Wei would not invest in it. If it is the future "Let the Bullets Fly", he can still vote.

So Qi Wei said to Jiang Wen: "Brother Jiang, the money I earned from releasing a record is not tens of millions, nor hundreds of millions, but just a few million. I invested in the TV series "Jiang Ai" before. Investing millions of dollars in "Party A and Party B" is already my limit, and I'm going to prepare my second album soon, and the landlord's family has no money left."

Qi Wei spoke in a tone imitating Ge You, and Ge You smiled, because this is a classic line in "Party A and Party B".

Qi Wei also laughed, enlivening the atmosphere a little bit, Qi Wei suddenly thought of a way to divert trouble, and reminded Jiang Wen.

"Brother Jiang, let me tell you that the movie "Party A and Party B" was promoted by Huayi Brothers. You should know that. They invested in a TV series before, and they also intend to enter the circle to invest in movies. They are doing advertising. Yes, they are all wealthy owners, very generous, and the sponsors behind me are also engaged in advertising, I can get money from them, you can definitely get money from them, no, they are attracted to invest."

"You kid must have missed it. To put it bluntly, you are afraid that I will cheat you. Why are you not afraid that investing in "Party A and Party B" will cheat you?"

Jiang Wen scolded with a smile, Qi Wei didn't want to invest, and he didn't force it. After thinking about it, he agreed with Qi Wei's words, and was going to try his luck with Huayi Brothers.

Qi Wei replied with a smile: "Of course I'm not afraid, Uncle Ge has the bottom line, not to mention that this movie is a commercial movie that audiences love."

"Do you know what a commercial film is? Do you understand?"

"Of course I understand. For example, we wrote a script called "The True Story of Days of Being Fei". After winning thirteen gold medals, he ordered Yue Fei to come back and behead him. In the end, the audience sang "Manjianghong" together. Amidst the roar of anger, the remnants of the Yue family's army drifted away in a big boat. This scene must be sensational."

"Children in troubled times, family and country feelings, you are good at telling stories, so where is the commercial element?" Jiang Wen asked with a smile and applauded.

"The commercial element is not simple. Find some popular and popular actors to act. It doesn't matter if there are negative or controversial ones. I'm afraid there will be no topic. Then, add some comedy. You have to have the burden to make the audience laugh."

"Isn't your story a tragedy?"

"The ending is a tragedy, but you must have a comedy ahead, especially before Yue Fei's death is too tragic, the audience will not be able to accept it."

"This Yue Fei is about to be beheaded. He is concerned about the country in his heart. Man Jianghong is written on the wall. Where can you find a comedy spot?"

"It's simple, you find two cross talk actors to act as jailers, come up and talk about cross talk, learn how to sing, right, and then, you show the messy things about Qin Hui and his two concubines, extravagant and lustful, singing every night , let the audience look at it with a critical eye.”

"Will anyone watch this kind of play?"

"As long as the concubine is beautiful, like Senior Sister Xu Qing, even men want to see her."

"You really know how to make fun of people." Xu Qing covered her mouth and smiled happily, and continued: "My junior brother is just talking nonsense, don't take it seriously, no one would act like this."

"I think he said it very well." At this time, a voice came from not far away.

Seeing the person coming, Jiang Wen and Ge You rushed to greet him, after all, they had cooperated with this person before.

There was a playful smile on Qi Wei's face, he didn't expect to meet the righteous master just by talking casually.

The person who came was Lao Mouzi.
