Chapter 34 Total investment is 1 small goal!

There is no doubt how classic "Let the Bullets Fly" is. This is a movie that has withstood the test of countless moviegoers in the past.

In this way, Wu Zui told Zhou Ming all the plot in his mind.

By the time he said it to the end, Zhou Ming's eyes were already filled with light.

"Okay! Okay!" Zhou Ming looked at Wu Zui and said, "I really didn't expect that Wu Zui is such a richly imaginative person. I think you not only have the qualities of an actor, but you also have the talent of a screenwriter.

We have them all!”

As an industry insider, Zhou Ming naturally has a unique vision and knows what kind of script will look good when filmed.

The story Wu Zui is talking about is so clever that even many senior screenwriters in the industry may not be able to conceive it.

Film and television screenwriting and writing novels are two completely different things. Although they are both writing stories, the difference is huge.

In novels, you can describe in great detail, the foreshadowing and turning points of various plots, and then go from dullness to climax.

You can use millions of words to complete this process arbitrarily and build a complete world view and story.

But movies and TV shows don’t allow you to do this.

A movie only lasts an hour or two, and no matter how long it is, it only lasts a little over three hours.

As a screenwriter, what you have to do is to insert as much content as possible into the limited plot of one or two hours in an orderly manner.

This is a very difficult thing, because in these one or two hours, the story must be explained, the story must not be cluttered, and various details must be taken into consideration.

So you can also see that in many TV series or movies adapted from novels, the screenwriters are often not the authors.

Because the script has been streamlined and adapted by the screenwriter, otherwise there would be no way to completely put it on the screen.

If the plot in the novel is really followed, the TV series will be as long-lived as "Naruto" and "Detective Conan".

Therefore, not everyone can write or come up with a story suitable for a movie.

But the plot Wu Zui mentioned now is very suitable!

"I even think that your story doesn't need to be improved by the screenwriter. You just need to find a screenwriter to write it in the form of a script according to your ideas!"

Wu Zui smiled awkwardly, because only he knew that this was not a talent, but the accumulation of entertainment works from his previous life.

Zhou Ming said excitedly: "What is the name of this movie?"

""Let the Bullets Fly." Wu Zui thought about it and decided to say his original name.

"A good name, it fits the theme very well, and there is a blank space in the name." Zhou Ming nodded in approval: "Let me tell you about this investment in detail."

Wu Zui cheered up a little.

Although the current box office performance of the movie I participated in the filming of, namely "The Giant", is very good, it actually did not cost much to shoot, and it can be considered a low-budget movie.

The entire filming cost of the entire film was probably around 15 million.

5 million of which was invested by Zhou Ming.

The remaining 10 million was collected by Zhou Ming by selling his house and car and borrowing money after the filming overrun and the funds dried up.

At that time, it can really be said that all the money was spent wisely, and I wished I could break a penny in half and spend it.

The various conditions of the crew were also very difficult. We had to feed mosquitoes for several months in the mountains. The place we lived in was very humid and hot, and there was no air conditioning. It was just like a steamer. We often woke up with smelly sweat.

Then there was no need to put on makeup, Wu Zui just wore that oily head, looking like a natural tropical rainforest giant.

The final result was also good. Wu Zui successfully used his screen image to scare many children into tears during the National Day holiday.

And the funds for this shooting

"100 million!" Zhou Ming took a deep breath and said the number solemnly.

"Hiss——" Wu Zui's scalp was numb and he was also startled.

He almost said "f*ck" and was shocked.

Is this just a small goal?

I have to say, the span is really quite big.

Not long ago, I was still worrying about money and was severely short of funds. Now I have a small target of funds to shoot a work.

All I can say is, is the boss really awesome?

However, this also brought a sudden stop to what Wu Zui wanted to say.

Originally, he wanted to say that he had earned some salary from his last film and would like to see if Zhou Ming needed investment.

But look at this small goal, and then look at the pitiful 700,000 in my pocket.

He still didn't say those words.

"So now we should have the resources to hire real big names, right?" Wu Zui asked.

What do you think of the drama "Let the Bullets Fly"? It is definitely different from "Owl".

You can use more young actors for "The Big Boss", that's okay, because it's quite realistic.

But "Let the Bullets Fly" is really not suitable for so many new-generation actors to participate. Moreover, this film requires more acting skills and is technically more difficult.

Moreover, this drama is not an ordinary funny movie. In fact, there are many details hidden in the plot, and even many reflections and connotations, including many famous figures in modern history.

To interpret these, it depends on personal understanding. If you elaborate here, it is easy to be wiped out by the indescribable supreme power, which will be wiped out from the root.

"Yes, there are several candidates." Zhou Ming also nodded and admitted: "The next step is to contact them."

Then, besides the discussion, Wu Zui told Zhou Ming about being contacted by Tianding Entertainment and asked Zhou Ming for his advice.

Zhou Ming pondered for a moment and gave his own answer.

"Tianding Entertainment, I know a little bit about this. Although it is not a wealthy company, it is considered to be in the middle and upper reaches of the industry. The performance of many works and the reputation in the industry are also remarkable. It's just

But if you sign a contract with them, I still advise you to think twice."

"Is there anything noteworthy about this?" Wu Zui asked.

"That's not true. It's just that this company has not produced results for a long time. Coupled with poor management and investment, the current situation is not good. There are even rumors that it may face restructuring."

Signing with an agency is a very important decision for an actor's career.

The quality of the company with which the contract is signed also largely determines the actor's subsequent career lifespan.

So we have to be careful, the water in the circle is still very deep.

Zhou Ming did not hide anything from Wu Zui, and talked to Wu Zui about the internal affairs of the circle.

For example, some brokerage companies will let their artists go out to accompany them for drinks. Sometimes you can't even refuse because there are many terms written on them.

Why are so many people obsessed with things in the entertainment industry now?

Most of them are due to these reasons.

For example, if you accompany your boss and everyone is drinking, if you don't drink, you are not giving your boss face. You will see if you have disobeyed the big boss's face and will your future career in the industry be easy.

In their words, they know how to do things.

And there are many deeper darknesses that ordinary people like Wu Sin cannot access.

Of course, there are many brokerage companies that still don’t have so many nonsense things, but looking at the objective situation, if there are such things in the circle, they are there, and if they are not, there is no such thing. The chaos in the circle is also overall.
