Chapter 223 The Atmosphere Is Not Right

"Miss Guan, what do you think about this matter?"

"Boss, I don't have any opinion, but I have to tell you that the company doesn't have that much money anymore!"

"I mean, what if I have?"

After hearing Fu Luo's words, Guan Qingqing immediately began to ponder. When her boss was talking to Wang Zhongjun, she was actually by her side the whole time, so she still fully understood what was going on here. just this thing...

After a little hesitation, Guan Qingqing finally expressed her true thoughts: "Boss, even if you have money, I think we should be more cautious. After all, this is a movie with the main theme, and the prospect is really hard to say. In addition, to put it bluntly, the reason why Huayi promotes this project is to help Feng Xiaogang realize his 'dream'."

"And for the sake of other people's dreams, I don't think we, Dune Entertainment, should get involved. The investment is completely out of proportion to the output, and it can even be said that the gain outweighs the gain. If you really want to ask me what I think, boss, then I will naturally object."

"Is that so..."

After whispering something softly, Fu Luo tapped his fingers on the chair again, and his thoughts were churning rapidly. He really did not expect that Wang Zhongjun came to the United States to find him on a special trip, and it turned out to be for the movie "Assembly". He thought the movie had already been filmed, but he didn't expect it hadn't been filmed yet.

Then, Fu Luo also knows exactly what Wang Zhongjun's idea is, and this theme movie, just like what Guan Qingqing said just now, is a genre movie that makes people frown subconsciously just by hearing it. .

However, Fu Luo, who has the foresight, knows that the movie "Assembly" is still very good. Not to mention it has received a lot of praise, and it has won countless awards. Even the box office is not bad, with about 2.5 million. look.

It's just that the cost of this movie is not low, with an investment of about 8000 million, and the 2.5 million box office has only just returned its cost, at most it is a small profit, and because of the type of "Assembly Number", Except for the mainland China market, other regions and countries...that is really hard to describe.

It is precisely this point that Fu Luo has been struggling with, but he faintly wants to join this movie. If he can get a few honors in China without losing money, that would be good.

It is said that he has won Cannes Best Actor and Qinglong Best Actor, but there is still nothing in China. Regardless of the gold content of those awards, at least as a Chinese actor, if he can’t even win a Chinese award, then it’s really a shame. It's a bit unreasonable.

"Sister Guan, I am going to agree to Huayi's cooperation invitation. I will find a way to deal with the money matter. After the movie "500 Days with Summer" is finished, I may have to work hard for you again!"

After a long time, Fu Luo still made such a decision. In fact, if you think about it carefully, you will find that if you make this movie, you will also gain a lot of invisible benefits. Finally, let him understand that the arms are always unable to twist the thighs, and if the straight road is impossible, then take the side road, and it does not have to be blocked on one road.

"Okay boss, do you need me to reply to Huayi now?"

Hearing this, although Guan Qingqing was a little...but Fu Luo was the boss after all, so she couldn't say anything more, because she understood her boss's temperament better, and once she made a decision, it was impossible to change it.

"Uh, let's wait for two days!"

Although it has been decided to join the movie "Assembly Number", there is no need to appear too anxious, lest Hua Yi make a fuss about it.

…………

While Fu Luo was struggling with the issue of "Assembly", Michael Bay was also struggling with the matter of "John Wick". At present, he has approached quite a few film companies, and everyone has given him more face. Let the film enter the "Green Light Committee", but after hearing the additional conditions, so the film companies have turned on the red light, which made Michael Bay depressed.

In fact, not to mention these film companies, even Michael Bay himself is not very optimistic about letting Fu Luo, a Chinese, be the leading actor in "John Wick", but Fu Luo just put forward such a condition, With a final sigh, he felt that it was time to give up the movie. Although it was a pity, this was reality.

After thinking about it, Michael Bay decided to make a phone call to Fu Luo. No matter whether it was successful or not, he would always give the other party a reply.

…………

"Hello, Director Bei, do you have any good news for me?"

On the set of "500 Days with Summer", when Fu Luo was about to resume work, he suddenly received a call from Michael Bay. The thing is, I don't know if it's good news or bad news.

"Fu, I'm sorry, this movie may not be available!"

Michael Bay on the other end of the phone told Fu Luo the cruel reality without much hesitation.

"Uh...OK, Director Bei, I have actually expected this result. Although it's a pity, it seems that's all there is to it. But I still have to thank Director Bei for his trouble."

Although Fu Luo was a little disappointed by this news, it wasn't particularly sad, because he had indeed prepared himself for such a long time ago.

"NO, I didn't get it done, you don't have to thank me, hey, Fu, where are you now?"

After one sentence, Michael Bay seemed to faintly hear that many people at Fu Luo were speaking American English. The other party was Chinese, didn't they stay in China?So, he asked curiously.

"Yeah, I'm shooting a movie in LA, what's wrong, Director Bei?"

Fu Luo was a little confused. Where was he? Did he have a dime relationship with Michael Bay?

"What, are you making a movie in LA? What kind of movie are you making? You won't be making "John Wick" again, are you?" As soon as he heard Fu Luo's words, Michael Bay really became curious.

"How is it possible, Director Bei, if it's "John Wick", I'll let you know. What I'm shooting now is just a small-budget independent love movie, and I personally invested in it."

There is nothing to hide about this matter, Fu Luo told Michael Bay directly.

"Oh, a romance, or an independent movie? Have you found a distributor yet?"

Hearing this, Michael Bay suddenly had a flash of inspiration, thinking that maybe he could test the waters and use this movie to see how Fu Luo's potential is. It's hard to say about the movies that haven't been made yet, but if there is a film, You can always see the good and the bad, right?

"I haven't found a distributor yet, and I plan to participate in next year's Sundance Film Festival."

Speaking of participating in the Sundance Film Festival, Fu Luo has already planned a long time ago. After all, most independent films start from this place to success, and the original version of "500 Days with Summer" also took this path.

"Sundance, why don't you wait until next year? I have a good idea here, do you want to hear it?"

"Okay, Director Bei, tell me."

Fu Luo wasn't stupid either. With a second thought, he quickly guessed a bit of Michael Bay's intentions.

…………

Time passed, and soon came February 2th. Tomorrow is New Year’s Eve. After all, Fu Luo could not return to China to reunite with family and friends. He could only meet with everyone through video. Jiang Ruotao, senior brother, junior sister, two good buddies Hu Renzong, Ying Qiu and so on.

Of course, he will not forget to send New Year's greetings to his star friends, Deng Chao, Sun Li, He Jiong, Huang Lei, Yang Mi, Fan Bingbing, Huang Xiaoming, Cheng Long, Hu Ge, Liu Ye, Sun Honglei, Guan Xiaotong, Guan Shaozhen, Wang Gang, Wang Xiaoshuai, Zhang Yimou, Zhou Jielun, etc., etc., none of them were left behind.

At the same time, Fu Luo was also quite emotional, saying that without knowing it, he had already known so many celebrities, it really felt like a dream.

Then, "500 Days with Summer" is also nearing completion, and it will take at most another week before the filming can be successfully completed.

In addition, there is another unexpected thing. It seems that today is Elizabeth Olsen's 18th birthday. When Fu Luodu heard the news, he was a little surprised.

Of course, he wasn't surprised that today was the other party's birthday, he was just surprised that Elizabeth Olsen was only 18 years old, which couldn't be seen from the outside.

Regardless of whether the other party is 18 years old or not, what surprised Fu Luo even more was that the girl invited him to dinner. At first he thought it was some kind of birthday party, but when he came to the agreed place, he realized that he was alone .

"Fu, I have something to tell you, do you want to hear it?"

"Well, Elizabeth, what do you want?"

Seeing Elizabeth Olsen, who had drunk a lot and had a rosy face, Fu Luo really hesitated, feeling that something was wrong with today's atmosphere.

Moreover, this girl has been drinking heavily since the beginning of the meal. Judging from the feeling of being choked by the other party from time to time, Elizabeth Olsen should rarely drink, but she doesn't know why she has to torment herself so much today , Even if it's a birthday, there's no need to do this, right?

……

Do a survey, whether to push or not to push Elizabeth, that kind of... small entanglement overnight! ! !
