Chapter 256 The True Story of Forrest Gump
Xu Keqiang has a great reputation and is among the ranks of national first-level directors. Many people know his name.

Although Liu Shiyuan is the chief director of his TV series and movies, everyone in the circle knows that Liu Shiyuan usually doesn't care about things, and he is responsible for general big and small things.

Xu Keqiang's reputation is very good through the shooting of "Meteor Garden", "Legend of White Snake" and "Shawshank's Redemption".

A total of two TV series and one movie were filmed, all of which made a lot of money.

But being Xu Keqiang is not proud, he knows that he still has a lot to do.

He was able to succeed because of Liu Shiyuan. If Liu Shiyuan hadn't given him the opportunity, he would not have succeeded at all.

If Liu Shiyuan hadn't been the one who gave him the chance, he knew he would never have succeeded.

Liu Shiyuan is cultivating himself.

From "Meteor Garden" to "The Legend of White Snake" and then to "The Shawshank Redemption", the difficulty increases step by step.

He really had reason to believe that Liu Shiyuan would definitely be able to write "The Shawshank Redemption" immediately, but he didn't do that because he knew that even if he gave it to himself, he would not be able to shoot it.

"Boss, what do you need from me?" Xu Keqiang walked over and said.

Seeing Xu Keqiang's performance, Liu Shiyuan nodded secretly. After so many successes, he is still not proud and has no plans to change jobs. He is definitely a wise person.

"Don't be proud. If you are proud now, I think it is definitely a pity. The film "The Shawshank Redemption" will definitely reach a total box office of 300 million. What you made with [-] million US dollars is three Billion box office, this will definitely make you proud." Liu Shiyuan gave Xu Keqiang a glass of water and said.

"Boss, others don't know, don't you? I didn't do anything, I just followed your orders." Xu Keqiang said with a smile.

But he was still very happy in his heart, after all, he was praised by Liu Shiyuan.

"However, if you are satisfied with this, I think it is really a pity. In my opinion, 30 million is just a drop in the ocean. In the future, we will hit more than [-] billion US dollars. If you follow me, I will The whole world will see how powerful you are, if you give up halfway, I will definitely train a first-class director again. The king of directors in this world will be born in my hands." Liu Shiyuan said with a deadpan expression.

Xu Keqiang's heart trembled, the king of directors?

It is definitely very tempting for all directors.

"Boss, don't worry, even if I do it for nothing, I won't complain. I want everyone to see my best side." Xu Keqiang said incoherently.

"Don't be so excited. I'm just afraid of your pride. In the eyes of others, your grades are quite good, but in my eyes, your grades are not enough. I also know that you have a lot of regrets, and there is no official recognition of your level. .” Liu Shiyuan looked at Xu Keqiang and said.

"No, boss, I don't need them to admit it. As long as I have such strength, no one dares to underestimate me." Xu Keqiang said firmly.

"No, you're wrong. Why didn't we win an award when we could win it? Well, I won't beat around the bush with you. I have a better script. If the filming is good, the award will definitely be indispensable. Yours." Liu Shiyuan smiled and took out the script of "Forrest Gump" from his pocket.

"Forrest Gump" is a film directed by Robert Zemeckis, starring Tom Hanks, Robin Wright and others. It was released in the United States on July 1994, 7.

The film is adapted from the novel of the same name published by American writer Winston Glum in 1986. It depicts a small-town boy named Forrest Gan who was congenitally mentally handicapped. Inspirational stories of miracles in multiple fields.

After the film was released, it won 1995 Oscars in 6, including the Best Picture Award, Best Actor Award, and Best Director Award.

"Forrest Gump" is also a very touching movie. This movie has been liked by many people. When they saw this movie, they were so moved that they wanted to shed tears.

It has achieved quite good results, with a box office of US$[-] million in the United States, US$[-] million in other regions, and a total box office of US$[-] million worldwide.

Converted into RMB about 50 billion.

But some people compare him with "The Shawshank Redemption".

The reason is very simple, because although "The Shawshank Redemption" did not achieve good results in the previous life, it has been loved by everyone.

"However, the investment of this film is very huge. It is estimated to invest [-] million yuan. Arowana certainly does not have such a large amount of funds now, but you don't need to worry about the funds. You are casting now, but don't limit the borders. Hollywood actors in the United States Also use it.

We invested nearly 1 million yuan, and the remaining 4 million yuan, I will find a way for you, and I will start my next concert after finishing these for you. "Liu Shiyuan didn't notice the blur in Xu Keqiang's eyes.

"Boss, with such a large investment, I am alone. I am a little worried. I want Ning Hao to help me and ask Ning Hao to shoot "Prime Minister Liu Luoguo" for Su Meier." Xu Keqiang said.

Liu Shiyuan knew that it was very normal for Xu Keqiang to do this, after all, there were not many such investments in China.

A few days ago, "Full City with Golden Armor", which had the largest investment, lost a lot of money.

Believe me, there is no reinvesting so much money in filming.

"Okay, go tell them, but find an old director to assist Su Meier in filming the TV series, don't let her screw up the TV series." Liu Shiyuan instructed.

But not long ago, there was a news that another movie will cost 3 million yuan to shoot.

Together with actors from China, South Korea, and the Sun Kingdom, they filmed a large-scale costume drama.

Massive media hype.

"Liu Shiyuan seems to be already proud. According to relevant sources this afternoon, Liu Shiyuan will spend 5 million yuan to make a movie. The name of the movie is "Forrest Gump." Kyoto Daily reported.

"Liu Shiyuan invested 5 million yuan to shoot a film. Isn't his span a little too big? Such a large investment is considered a considerable investment even in the United States. Can we believe that Chinese people can also control such a large investment in a film? Through "The Golden Flower in the City", we can all see that Chinese people always seem to like to make movies that we can't understand." Said Los Angeles of the United States.

"Huaxia seems to be making big plans this year. Two films with a very large investment have already entered the shooting. The first step is "The Promise", with an investment of nearly 3 million yuan. It seems that such a large investment is not a problem for the director of TV series and movies, but Liu Shiyuan wants to invest 5 million yuan in the film "Forrest Gump", is Liu Shiyuan crazy? He really believes in Xu Keqiang's strength, what I want to say is , if this movie fails, Liu Shiyuan will not only fail to become a billionaire, but will also bear huge debts." Reported from Seoul, South Korea.

Many fans of Liu Shiyuan were a little surprised when they heard that Liu Shiyuan was going to invest 5 million yuan to create a movie.

Unexpectedly, Liu Shiyuan really dared to do this.

"With such a large investment, I'm really worried about him. It's better for us to be stable. If we really can't make this film well, what I want to say is that we are really in trouble." Sleepless for you tonight .

"I chose to believe him this time. After all, there were many people who objected to it before, but he did a very good job, right? This time I think he will still satisfy us." Nickname Already Existed said.

"His steps are too big. I believe that there will be problems, maybe fatal problems, but I still hope that he can make good films for everyone, but I still have no idea. The main thing is It is an investment of 5 million yuan, and the box office must exceed [-]. This is definitely something we can't imagine." Xiaoxiao Wandering Tiger said.

Liu Shiyuan called and invited the three giants of Huaxia Film and Television, Wang Zhongjun, Han Sancheng, and Universal Video.

But it is a pity that the people from Universal Video and Video did not come.

Only Wang Zhongjun and Han Sancheng came.

"First of all, I would like to offer you a toast. You have taken time out of your busy schedules to come to the party. I won't talk nonsense to you. This time, I really need to find two people. I want to invest in a movie recently, but the funding is limited. There are some problems." Liu Shiyuan said after taking two mouthfuls of food after one mouthful.

"You're welcome, brother, who are we with whom? But I still want to know how much investment do you need?" Han Sancheng said with a smile.

"Yes, brother, I also believe in your vision, how much investment do you need?" Wang Zhongjun said.

"You seem to have heard about the investment of 5 million yuan, but you also know that my money has been invested in the game for the time being, "The Shawshank Redemption", and the money has not yet come down.

We can only come up with 1 million yuan, so we have 4 million yuan left. "Liu Shiyuan said with a smile.

The waiter looked familiar to Liu Shiyuan, but he knew Wang Zhongjun and Han Sancheng. After all, these two people are the leaders of Huaxia Entertainment.

He was very puzzled, why did a brat eat with two leading bosses?

This you young man is definitely not more than 20 years old, and his hair is still gray.

Suddenly he thought of a person, could it be that this person is Liu Shiyuan?
If this person is Liu Shiyuan, he is definitely qualified to sit next to the two of them.

Wang Zhongjun and Han Sancheng were a little silent.

This money is definitely not a small amount.

"Brother, I didn't expect the rumors to be true. Although we really want to help you, unfortunately, the two of us invested in "The Promise" a few days ago. You know, we can choose between you or "The Promise". After all, Director Zhang's "The Golden Flower" just failed with an investment of 6000 million yuan. This "The Promise" is also aimed at the big prize." Han Sancheng said with some regret.

Wang Zhongjun also followed suit.
