Funny Little Boy for Entertainment

Chapter 0949 I want word of mouth not box office

"Mr. Lin, I have a call for you." In a mansion in Xiangjiang, Lin Chaoxian's assistant came to him with a mobile phone.

"Whose call?!" Lin Chaoxian was resting today.

"The hottest young fresh meat in the mainland right now." Lin Chaoxian's assistant mentioned this person, and he immediately thought of who it was: "Hu Xing?!"

"That's right!" Lin Chaoxian's assistant replied yes, it was Hu Xing.

"He's looking for me? What's the matter?" Lin Chaoxian took the phone and asked, "Hello, I'm Lin Chaoxian."

"Director Lin, I'm Hu Xing, do you have time to meet up?!" Hu Xing went straight to the point and asked Lin Chaoxian.

"Is there something?" Lin Chao first wanted to ask what it was.

"Hu Yu and I have written a script, and we plan to ask you to have a look, are you interested in directing?!" Hu Xing told Lin Chaoxian his reason for coming.

"Oh? You wrote the script?" After learning that Hu Xing wrote the script, Lin Chaoxian was very surprised.

"Theoretically, it is a script written by Hu Fu and I, which is a movie adapted from a game."

"The hottest game this year, "PUBG Mobile", I wonder if you have heard of it?" Hu Xing told Lin Chaoxian without hiding anything.

"I've heard of this, but I haven't played it."

"There are very few successful cases where a game is adapted into a movie. Even if it is successful in Hollywood, it is only "Lord of the Rings." As expected of a director, Lin Chaoxian immediately halved his interest when he heard that it was a game adaptation.

"Heh, I know this, so first log in to your email and read some of the scripts I sent you."

"After you read it, if you think it's okay, then come to Hengdian to find me, and we can discuss it."

"If you don't think so, then I'm sorry to bother you." Hu Xing's tone was very confident, which made Lin Chaoxian put the phone aside curiously, and asked the assistant to bring the computer over.

After logging in to the mailbox, I quickly found the email from Hu Xing.

The entire email is a quarter of the script; Lin Chaoxian read it carefully and pondered it carefully.

About two hours later, Lin Chaoxian finally called Hu Xing.

"Tomorrow I can go to Hengdian, let's talk; I also have something to discuss with you." Lin Chaoxian agreed to go to Hu Xing.

"Okay." Hu Xing agreed, so let's look forward to meeting tomorrow.

At noon the next day, Lin Chaoxian and his assistant came to Hengdian and found Hu Xing himself.

Hu Fu was also there, and when they saw Lin Chaoxian coming, they hurriedly got up to say hello.

Moreover, Hu Xing also told the director to ask for a leave of absence temporarily.

The three of them found a restaurant and sat down to have a good talk.

"I have read the script you wrote. To be honest, the first part is really good."

"If it is really going to be filmed, I will definitely accept it, and even hope to receive this script."

"In the near future, I will also take time to play this game and do some in-depth understanding."

"But the question is, have you finished this script?!" Lin Chaoxian asked.

"It has not been fully completed. We have worked hard for so long, but we have only written this part. It will take time to complete the script."

"But if Director Lin agrees, then we can rest assured."

"Don't worry about the script, we will finish the script and won't let you down." Hu Xing is very confident, with systematic help, it is not impossible to complete.

"Okay, there is one more question, if you really want to make this movie."

"I'm sure that many film and television production companies are afraid to invest."

"Because it is an adaptation of a game, only a few of them can be successful, and there is no such case in China. There is no precedent for a successful adaptation of a game into a movie. As far as the conservative style of the mainland is concerned, even if you are willing to invest, you will not invest too much." Lin Chaoxian This was already predictable.

"I also know that Hu Xing will fully invest. Director Lin, do you think that with such a script, if we really want to direct the script to the degree and level we want, how much production cost will we need to invest?!" I understand very well, so I asked Lin Chaoxian.

"At least 3 million." Lin Chaoxian thought for a while and said his approximate budget.

"If the actor asks me to choose, it's not the kind of fresh meat that only costs sky-high prices."

"If I can bear hardships and be patient, if I have the foundation and awareness of an actor, I can reduce the cost to 3 million yuan, which includes post-production special effects." Lin Chaoxian knew that the investment of 3 million yuan was already a major production of a domestic film.

"Well, this is not a problem. My investment standard is 5 million." Hu Xing said his plan.

"5 million?!" Hearing this, Lin Chaoxian was startled.

"If you invest 5 million yuan, the box office will not pay back until 15 billion yuan."

"That is to say, only a box office of more than 15 billion can make money." When Lin Chaoxian heard about this investment, he was inevitably taken aback.

"I don't care if I can make money or not. Anyway, what I want is the quality and reputation of the movie."

"What I want is a masterpiece, and what I want is a classic film made in China."

"I don't want money, I don't want box office, I just want a good movie, I just want this movie to be successful." Hu Xing's request is as simple as that.

"Just like the national football team, what I want is not that the national football team can enter the World Cup this time and win the championship. This is an extravagant hope; however, I spend money to let the people see hope."

"The same is true for this movie. When I spend money this time, I don't think about how much money I want to make, or how much I want at the box office."

"What I want now is to let domestic movies also have a good reputation and a successful movie adaptation of a game."

"What I want is more fans, recognition, expectation and support for domestic films." Hu Xing is considering a long-term plan, not a short-term idea of ​​making money.

"Okay, with your words, I have a solid foundation in my heart. If you really didn't write down the content of the subsequent plot of this script, my intuition tells me that this script will become a classic, and the word of mouth will definitely explode."

"I don't dare to predict the box office, but word of mouth will at least not be bad." Lin Chaoxian said seriously.

"No, we would rather carve a script for a long time than write a bad script in a short time."

"It's just that we want to confirm with you whether you are interested in directing. If you agree, then the two of us will be more confident." Hu Xing and Hu Fu were relieved.

"Okay." Lin Chaoxian agreed to direct the film, and at the same time he also took out a script: "Similarly, you invited me to direct the script you wrote, then I also have a script here and I want you to act in Hu Xing .”

"Operation Mekong, I think you've heard of the Mekong incident too."

Chapter 0950 Wang Ou, broke up!

"It is adapted from real events, and it is confirmed that Peng Yuyan will play the role."

"I wanted to find you too, but I didn't expect you to find me first." Lin Chaoxian gave Hu Xing the script.

"You don't need to read the script, I'll take it." Hu Xing remembered this script, a domestic classic police and gangster drama, which was very successful both in terms of word of mouth and box office.

"Happy cooperation!" Smart people don't need to say too much.

If Hu Xing agreed to pick it up, he would definitely not break his promise.

"You have to set a good time. When will this movie start next year, you have to tell me in advance."

"I also want to hire a trainer to learn some skills in advance, so that I can perform more properly when filming; also, try not to arrange it in the first half of next year."

"In the first half of next year, I have a costume drama to shoot, so try to arrange it in the second half of the year." Hu Xing told Lin Chaoxian about his schedule.

"Okay, I know you're busy, there are several variety shows in China."

"Now I'm a variety show cafe, and cooperating with you saves me a lot of activities to promote the movie." Lin Chaoxian's affection for Hu Xing has increased a lot.

With Hu Xing's status, he can obviously rely on his family background to make a living, and he can also rely on his appearance to make a living.

But in the end he still relied on his own ability.

This shows that Hu Xing has really integrated himself into the identity of actor and entertainer.

Hu Xing is not short of money, as can be seen from his determination and attitude of investing 5 million to make a movie just now.

Hu Xing didn't care at all whether he could make money at the box office, all he cared about was whether the finished product was good or bad.

Not long after the discussion was over, Peng Yuyan called.

"Hu Er, I finally have a chance to cooperate." Peng Yuyan's address to Hu Xing made him a little dumbfounded, Hu Er?

Hu Fu and Peng Yuyan are also old friends, and because Peng Yuyan, Hu Fu and Hu Xing are good friends and good brothers, both of them have the surname Hu, so Peng Yuyan calls Hu Fu Hu Fu Big, to Hu Xing is Hu Er.

This is also the reason why this guy was harmed by "Bear Infested", so he called Hu Xing and Hu Xing "Xiong Da Xiong Er". Even if Hu Xing said it N times, Peng Yuyan would not change it.

"Get out, don't call me Hu Er, and don't call me Erhu." Hu Xing said with a smile.

"Haha~ That's it, leave me alone."

"Stop rambling, arrange for me to be on your show once, such as extreme challenge, running man, longing for life, please take care of the refrigerator, or I'm going to school, any of these are fine." Peng Yuyan has been on it since After running a man, he likes to do variety shows with Hu Xing.

"You have so much time?!" It's not impossible, the second season of Extreme Challenge is about to start.

Hu Xing tried, arranged for Peng Yuyan, and asked the man to help Peng Yuyan thoroughly.

If a man is not allowed to help Peng Yuyan once, he will not behave well.

"Recording the show, it's okay to spare a day, but I'll only be on the reality show hosted by you." Peng Yuyan and Hu Xing don't see each other often, but they are good friends

"Okay." Hu Xing agreed, and arranged for him to appear on the show when he was free.

After Hu Xing came back to the crew, he continued his work.

However, Hu Xing, who felt bored, sat down and slapped Wang Ou's long legs.

"You..." After the slap, when Wang Ougang wanted to say that Hu Xing was crazy, the latter was the first to speak and blocked him back: "Several friendship!"

"Break off friendship? Why?" He hasn't settled the score with him after being beaten, but this guy wants to say break up the relationship?

"How long have we been friends?!" This question was asked by Hu Xing.

"It's been a full year, and it's been less than a year." Wang Ou answered honestly.

"It's been less than a year, but we are also friends, right?!"

"Yeah, but what's the matter? Are friends going to break up in a year?!" Wang Ou was speechless. What kind of logic is this?

"We've been friends for so long, and you don't think you have any thoughts about me? Cut off the friendship." After Hu Xing said this reason, he realized how willful he was.

"..." Wang Ou just looked at him stupidly.

"Hehe~" Hu Fu and Chen Long next to him couldn't help laughing.

There seems to be nothing wrong with this logic, right?
