Entertainment tycoon who started out as a director
Chapter 44: Treat me as an outsider
Chapter 44: Treat me as an outsider
"The heroine's name is Qinghong, the green and red Qinghong."
""Blue and Red"."
Of course Gu Ming knew about this film.
He muttered, picked up the script and read it.
Wang Xiaoshuai was talking about his creative ideas on the side.
The voice was quite heavy.
"My family moved to central Guizhou in 66 from Shenghai to support the third-line construction. I grew up there. I know very well the psychology of people after the construction. I want to go home and live with my former relatives. I want to go home and live with my former relatives. Crazy."
"Ever since I became a director, I have been thinking about making a story about the families who support the third-line builders if I have the opportunity in the future."
"This is how the script of "Green and Red" came about."
"Director Gu, you said last time that I could come to you to ask for investment."
"As soon as the script was written, the first thing I thought of was you, Director Gu."
"Yeah." Gu Ming nodded and quickly flipped through the script.
After all, I had seen this movie in my previous life.
After reading the script at a glance, I found that there was no difference between the plot of "Qinghong" in the previous life.
It’s about a girl named Qinghong. Her family is similar to Wang Xiaoshuai’s. Her parents came to central Guizhou from Shenghai to support construction.
Since then it was changed.
My parents thought about returning to Shenghai all the time.
And put pressure on Qinghong, hoping that she could enter college and return to Shenghai.
In order to prevent her from "learning bad things", her father was controlling to a perverted level.
As long as you are not working, follow him all the time.
Not only that, but she also burned and threw away all the gifts she and her daughter received from the boy she had a crush on.
However, it is the parents' wish to return to their hometown of Shenghai.
For her daughter Qinghong, the place where she grew up is her hometown.
She couldn't understand her parents.
She was also feeling increasingly depressed, and after a friend eloped with local gangster Li Jun, she became taciturn.
At the end, before going home, she went to see Xiaogen.
Xiaogen got drunk, did evil, and was shot.
Qinghong is still alive, but the girl named Qinghong is dead.
"The story is okay."
Putting the script aside, Gu Ming went straight to the topic, "How much is the filming budget?"
"600."
"what?"
Gu Ming almost laughed out loud.
I can invest in you for the sake of harvesting your wool.
But isn’t this too expensive?
You may have to lose money by then.
After all, this film won the Jury Prize at Cannes in its previous life, not the Grand Jury Prize.
The difference of one word is not only a world of difference, but also a huge difference.
It can be said to be the lowest award in the main competition unit.
Otherwise, in the previous life, this film would not have recovered its cost even one year after winning the award at Cannes.
of course.
This film can be cast, but the cost must be reduced and the director cannot be left to his own devices.
It only cost 400 million to shoot "Burning" by myself.
"Fireworks in the Day" only earned 800 million, but can this be compared?
The director's salary for "Fireworks in the Day" was 200 million yuan. Moreover, because of its popularity at the box office, "Fireworks in the Day" received 750 million yuan in advertising fees alone.
Almost all the shooting costs were recovered.
When the time comes to participate in film festivals and sell films, the box office revenue and other things will be pure profits.
Wang Xiaoshuai's current appeal simply cannot reach this level.
"Green Red" was filmed in the early 80s, so it almost said goodbye to advertising.
Yes.
He had heard in his previous life that Wang Xiaoshuai spent 1000 million when filming this green and red film.
But it was [-] or [-].
Domestic GDP has doubled, if you calculate it this way.
600 million is more money than 1000 million in the previous life!
And he has yet to win the Grand Jury Prize at the Berlin Film Festival.
"Why are you asking for 600 million?"
Gu Ming took a deep breath and couldn't help but laugh, "Director Wang, do you think of me as an outsider?" "Let's just talk about this story. Is there any big scene? The biggest scene is the underground dance party of that group, right?"
"How did you calculate 600 million?"
"Re-quote the number."
After speaking, Gu Ming returned the script to Wang Xiaoshuai.
Attitude is also evident.
If the price is still the same, I can just take the script and leave.
With his current fame, he will try elsewhere to see if he can get 600 million in investment for this film.
Wang Xiaoshuai was silent.
Let's go, he also knows that he can't get such a large investment from others.
Gu Ming just couldn't agree on the price here, and he couldn't help but reveal a bitter smile on his face, "600 million can take the most perfect green and red photo in my mind."
"If that's not possible, 500 million will do."
"Four million." Gu Ming calculated a rich price for him, "Our company will send an accountant there, and I will also designate the hero and heroine."
"400 million..."
Wang Xiaoshuai was stunned.
But he didn't refuse immediately.
Instead, I did the math in my head.
I thought that I could film "Green Red" if I had the opportunity.
Finally he gritted his teeth and nodded.
"Four million is four million. Who do you want to choose between the two protagonists?"
"Xiao Gen is cast by Chen Kun, and the heroine Qing Hong is cast by Gao Yuanyuan, the second girlfriend of the rich second-generation Ben in "Burning"."
"I know who she is."
Wang Xiaoshuai thought for a while and finally nodded affirmatively, "Okay, then it's settled."
"Nice to cooperate!" Gu Ming stretched out his hand and the two shook hands.
The rest of the work is left to the people below the company.
Soon, the contract was signed.
Gu Ming gave Wang Xiaoshuai another insurance policy and told him not to overspend, not to overspend, not to overspend!
Say the important thing three times.
Do it at your own risk.
……
A few days later, Gu Ming received an invitation letter from the Berlin International Film Festival.
Invite yourself to send your film to the Berlin International Film Festival.
There is also competition among the three major companies. Naturally, they want to bring the new work of Gu Ming, a director who has just won the Palme d'Or and is well-known in the European literary and artistic film circles, to be exhibited at the Berlin International Film Festival.
But Gu Ming couldn't help it. Looking at the invitation, he could only feel helpless.
The video is being reviewed there.
Until the last moment, I didn't want to break up with the review.
There will be an example next year, Jiang Wen, when "The Devils Are Coming" was sent to Cannes for exhibition without passing review.
So what if I win the Jury Prize?
If you are told to ban you, you will be banned.
We also want to ban you from being a guide without leaving any trace.
Let’s talk about it later, when did you get banned from directing?Have you downloaded the file?
Look for it, where are the documents?
Of course, Gu Ming didn't do nothing.
After getting the invitation letter, I put some pressure on Xiying Film Studio, Beijing Film Studio, the school and China Film Studio, asking them to clear the way as soon as possible and find out how to change if they couldn't pass.
Isn't that the purpose of dividing their shares?
At least I have some confidence in my heart.
If you really can't make any changes, then don't waste time and just send it to the exhibition privately.
After the directing ban, the worst possible outcome is to go to Hong Kong Island to film abroad.
Soon, it was December.
The first day of May.
New moon, new weather.
Good news comes with this new month.
