Chapter 340 Wu "butcher" is replaced by Chen "butcher", don't eat hairy pig

(please order!)

A cafe in Beijing.

"Director Wu Ershan, your script is not good. Didn't I tell you that except for the Jade Emperor's role, which needs to be changed a bit, everything else must follow the original story?"

After staying with Zhang Zilin for a few days, Fu Luo received the script written by Wu Ershan. After reading only a short paragraph, he frowned, because the other party contained too many private goods in it. He didn't take what he had told him to heart. Well, "Havoc in Heaven" has been changed into a mess, and it's not much better than Zheng Baorui's version, which made him really dissatisfied.

"Mr. Fu, if the movie is based on the original novel, won't there be no surprises?"

Wu Ershan has to admit that he has indeed added a lot of his own ideas and understandings, because he thinks that simply repeating the plot of "Havoc in Heaven" is of any significance?

"Surprise? "Journey to the West" itself is a familiar story, and the lack of surprises is precisely the biggest advantage, so we don't need to surprise the audience with the plot, but surprise the audience with the visual. 5 yuan for special effects, that's why I invested so much, Director Wu Ershan, I really hope you can recognize this."

In other words, Fu Luo invested a minimum of [-] million U.S. dollars in the movie "Havoc in Heaven", not to make people treat it as an experiment. Wu Ershan's random addition of personal ideas in the script is really annoying. Before you don't have the strength of a great director, can you stop playing with the temper of a great director?

"Mr. Fu, is this really not discussed?"

Although it's not easy to express it directly, Wu Ershan is also a little upset. Since he was entrusted to write the script and shoot the movie, and now he is intervening in various ways, can't he just be a puppet?
"Director Wu Ershan, "Havoc in Heaven" is a commercial film through and through." Fu Luo said that, and he didn't want to say anything else. It's just a waste of everyone's time to continue talking.

"Mr. Fu, then I want to quit "Havoc in Heaven"."

Gritting his teeth, Wu Ershan finally made this decision. He didn't care whether it was a commercial film or an art film. He didn't even have to add his own ideas to the film, but he really couldn't accept it when it was a film. A puppet without any will of his own, a director who has completely lost himself, is not what he wants.

"Really? If Wu Ershan insists on withdrawing from "Havoc in Heaven", I personally respect your opinion. After all, this is your freedom, then we will meet again."

Wu Ershan was so decisive that Fu Luo was really a little surprised, but he had nothing to hesitate for the sake of it, without Butcher Wang, wouldn't there be Butcher Li?
Then he didn't care about other things, stood up, turned around, and left. With his current status, he didn't seem to care too much about anything. At the same time, Fu Luo also made up his mind that he was going to personally write the script of "Havoc in Heaven" Write, in order to avoid any uncontrollable factors.

And here, after seeing Fu Luo leading people away, Neuurshan in the cafe also sighed. To be honest, he still felt a little regretful to miss a top-level production with hundreds of millions of dollars, but he didn't No regrets, because he has already found a next home, which is one of the reasons why he quit so simply, and it can be regarded as his little confidence.

…………

Time passed, and soon half a month passed, and then came the No.4 Eighth Hong Kong Film Awards on April 19.

Then Fu Luo starred in "Red Cliff", except for five technical awards, he won nothing, including the best actor nomination. This actor was finally taken away by Zhang Jiahui of "The Witness". There is no regret, although his popularity is very high, but almost no one in the industry is optimistic that "Red Cliff" will win the award, and Donnie Yen in "Ip Man" is the most optimistic person in the industry.

It's a pity that this award was finally taken by Zhang Jiahui, who had prepared his acceptance speech "the best in the universe", and was beaten in the face in the end.

Although Fu Luo was able to spare time, he did not go to participate in the Hong Kong Film Awards. Anyway, the chance of winning the award is almost zero. He didn't want to fly all the way to Xiangjiang to sit for a few hours and then fly back, wasting money. Don't talk about money, but also enjoy the whole journey of embarrassment.

Just like how embarrassing it is for Zhang Guoli to present an award. He talked about a piece of film history and asked TVB to cut it. The TVB responsible for the broadcast this time is really "unlimited". , cut out all the words that have anything to do with Asian TV, but did not cut out the scene of Fan Shaohuang swearing on stage. It is really not too fruitful to target Asian TV and mainland filmmakers.

Of course, what’s even more ridiculous is some Xiangjiang people. You said that you complained to "Xiangjiang Radio and Television" about the Golden Statue Award, and you even said ironically that it was like a mainland TV series. Whose son is the father.

But for an award that has already declined, Fu Luo just forgot about it when he complained. He quickly devoted himself to his own business. Because of Wu Ershan's withdrawal, he naturally had to find a replacement director.

It's just that there are not many directors in China who are good at this kind of special effects blockbuster, and it can even be said that there are none at all. In the end, Fu Luo chose Chen Jiashang in the end.

At least "Painted Skin" is still well shot. Although this movie looks more like an action movie, and there are not many special effects shots, there are still some, and it can be regarded as having accumulated a certain amount of experience. To a certain extent, it is more suitable than Wu Ershan.

With such an idea in mind, Fu Luo didn't hesitate too much, and immediately sent out an invitation to the Chen family, and the other party's response speed was quite fast, and he replied the next day that he would meet in the capital, but he didn't know Are you blinded by the cost of at least [-] million US dollars?

Soon, on the 23rd, Fu Luo met with Chen Jiashang in the conference room of Dune Entertainment. The final result went smoothly, and the other party hardly hesitated. After listening to his general description After that, he took over the movie "Havoc in Heaven" on the spot, and said that after filming "Painted Skin", he was still a little unfulfilled, and this "Havoc in Heaven" with a lot of special effects shots appeared just right.

The Chen family can be so straightforward, so that Fu Luo is also at ease. After having a director, it is natural to start looking for a suitable behind-the-scenes team, such as costumes, art direction, and special effects. These are the top priorities of "Havoc in Heaven" Heavy, relatively speaking, actors are not that important.

Finally, after discussing with the director Chen Jiashang, Fu Luo is going to invite Zhang Shuping and Ye Jintian, two top costume and art directors in the industry, to join the crew of "Havoc in Heaven". do the best.

As for the special effects, he also looked for the best ones. Fu Luo then set his sights on special effects companies such as Industrial Magic Light and Weta. It is initially estimated that the cost in this area will be at least 7000 million U.S. dollars. Two-thirds of the cost must be the world's top visual.

Next, before the filming of "Criminal Alliance" started at the end of May, Fu Luo devoted all his time to the pre-production of "Havoc in Heaven". In addition to inviting the behind-the-scenes big cows to join, he also went around to connect with other movies. The company, just for one thing, attracts investment.

Now that his status and status are different, he will naturally not encounter the previous situation where no one cares about him. Finally, after a lot of running around, he finally managed to get 2000 million from Huayi Brothers, 2000 million from China Film Group, and 1000 million from Shanghai Film Group. RMB 2000, Light 1000 million, Emperor 2000 million, Starlight 1 million, the unit is naturally RMB, no more, no less, just reached the small goal he set of [-] million.

The reason why these companies are willing to join "Havoc in Heaven" is that apart from a small part of the investment mentality, Huayi and China Film have cooperated many times, and they always have a relationship, and other companies naturally have their own considerations However, the hundreds of large screens being built in the Dune Cinemas still played a big role.

Of course, taking advantage of this opportunity, various companies are pouring people into the "China's No. [-] giant production" "Havoc in Heaven", and the most thorough stuffing in it is Starlight, and Jing Tiantian has definitely added it to the movie , ready to start his own "open hanging" life.

To be honest, Fu Luo thought that Lu Zheng was frightened at the beginning, and he would never dare to show up again. He didn't expect that he would end up in a trap.
