"Wu Jing, Wu Jing, right? I know you, I really know you. Let me tell you, when I watched the Tai Chi master played by You, I even imitated your hands to stir in the water tank..."
The fat coal boss said to Wu Jing with a smile while holding a beautiful woman with a figure that was so good that she would explode.
Wu Jing had a somewhat flattering smile on his face, and he nodded almost everything the coal boss said.
Actually, Wu Jing discovered that although this coal boss likes to brag, well, it should be regarded as bragging, he really likes to show off anyway. In addition, he is relatively easy to talk to.
As long as you compliment him and don't let him down, this coal boss is really easy to get along with.
Compared with the investors that Wu Jing had received in the past, this coal boss actually made Wu Jing feel a little cute.
"Really, I specially found someone to learn Tai Chi at that time. Don't you believe it? If you don't believe it, I will practice it for you now..." The coal boss said, pushing away the young lady in his arms who was so good-looking that he could hold him in his arms, and then
Practice Tai Chi.
A fat coal boss, even if he learned it at first, what will he have left after so many years?
However, Wu Jing still complimented the other party, saying that although the other party had forgotten some moves, the moves he had memorized were particularly good and he was very good at Tai Chi.
In short, Wu Jing's words made the coal boss extremely unhappy.
"Thirty million, is thirty million enough? I heard that filming a movie in Xiangjiang costs a lot more than here." The coal boss was so happy that he asked.
"Enough, enough, enough." Wu Jing said quickly.
So Wu Jing could only adjust her mentality and try to be as humble as possible. In the end, she successfully deceived the coal boss and got an investment of 30 million yuan.
"I don't think Wu Jing is in trouble, so I want to help him."
"You're so dismissive of Wu Baige? You know that's Wu Baige. A True Hero and Mission: Impossible shot by Hollywood, both are very good movies." Li He couldn't help but say.
I patted my face hard twice and rubbed it again until my face was no longer stiff, and then I breathed a sigh of relief.
"If you don't like it, why don't you help me?"
Speaking of which, Wu Jing is actually quite courageous and not a smooth person.
Now that it's better, he has already received 30 million, so he doesn't have to worry so much when making a movie. He can just let go and make a big splash.
"Well, it worked. The coal boss just took out 30 million, and Wu Jing's film investment has been completely settled." Zhang Yuxuan nodded with a smile.
In Zhang Yuxuan's opinion, even though Wu Baige has been in Hollywood, his ability is really incomparable to Zhang Yimou.
"If the director is someone like Wu Baige, that's all we can do." Zhang Yuxuan shrugged and said, "I think even if the director is Chen Kexin, he has to think more carefully than Wu Baige."
"That's it." Zhang Yuxuan was a little surprised when he heard what Li Hu said: "But I still don't like Mei Lanfang's drama very much."
"...Not losing money? This is not a question of not losing money. Everyone wants to make money. Just not losing money is already considered a loss." Li He looked at Yuxuan Zhang speechlessly.
"What? Did Wu Jing succeed?" Li He saw Zhang Yuxuan hang up the phone, put a piece of dragon fruit with a toothpick in front of Zhang Yuxuan's mouth.
"Yuxuan, are you not optimistic about the Chibi project?" Li He couldn't help but ask.
"He has already shot Wuji, but there are still people investing in him to shoot Mei Lanfang? Aren't you afraid of losing money?" Zhang Yuxuan couldn't help but say.
After all, Wu Baige is really good at shooting gunfight movies, such as A Better Tomorrow, and Windtalker is a war movie, and it’s also a gunfight type war movie. If Windtalker also accounts for Wu Baige’s expertise,
As for the gunfight element, then in the movie Red Cliff, the people in it are all using cold weapons. It is a war movie with cold weapons. Can Wu Baige really do it well?
"The reason why director Chen Kaige sent over the invitation is actually just to invite you to audition. There are so many people who want to act in his movies. They just cast a wide net, and they didn't identify you without being genuine. I
I feel that even if you do participate in the interview, the possibility of passing the interview is not high." Li He said calmly.
"I heard it, I heard it, I heard it." Zhang Yuxuan said impatiently.
"It's normal for horses to stumble and people to make mistakes. And it's a foreign war movie. It's normal that Wu Baige is not good at it." Li He defended.
"How much? I have already screened and screened out a lot of them. These are all scripts with good quality or good directors." Li Hed shook his head and said.
"But at least Chen Kexin's certificate of nomination is pretty good, isn't it?"
"That was his original work. Now Wu Baige is old! And neither A Hero nor Mission: Impossible is a war movie. He just makes movies with small scenes, and war movies with grand scenes.
Let Wu Baige shoot the movie? Why not let Zhang Yimou come? If Zhang Yimou is the director, the movie will definitely not lose money, not only will it make money, but it will also win awards!" Zhang Yuxuan couldn't help but say.
"Hahaha, brother Wu Jing, you are really good at talking. Since you also say that my girlfriend is so beautiful, then, look, can my girlfriend play the heroine in your movie?" The coal boss said to himself.
true intention.
"Forget it, I'm too lazy to talk to you. The New Year has passed, and it's almost time for you to start working. Look, these are the script invitations that were handed to you. Take a look, which one do you want to accept? Of course, if you want
If you want to write a script by yourself again, I won't object." Li He said, placing a stack of information in front of Yuxuan Zhang.
"Wu Baige is good at gunfights, but he can't even make gunfight-type war movies. So, do you think he can make a war movie about cold weapons?" Zhang Yuxuan curled his lips and said.
"So many?" Zhang Yuxuan was a little surprised.
"But the title is not a big IP like the Three Kingdoms. The assassination case is almost not a popular subject at all. If the title is a big IP like the Three Kingdoms, try it." Zhang Yuxuan said, seemingly a little seriously.
"Beautiful, of course beautiful. With looks like my sister-in-law, even if she goes into the entertainment industry, she is definitely one of the top beauties." Wu Jing gave the other party a thumbs up.
"What's wrong, Yuxuan? You don't want to participate again, do you? This is a movie directed by Wu Baige! Wu Baige is a big director in Hollywood. We have many directors here, but those who can succeed in Hollywood
There are only a few directors, and Wu Baige is definitely the most outstanding. There is no doubt about his ability." Li He looked at Yuxuan Zhang like this, and was worried that Yuxuan Zhang was going to cause some trouble.
At the same time, Wu Jing was also grateful to Zhang Yuxuan from the bottom of her heart. If Zhang Yuxuan had not been the middleman, he would not have been able to contact the coal boss and would not have been able to get the investment. Although Zhang Yuxuan, as the middleman, was not present this time, it was a success after all.
Already.
Li He was really helpless about the way Zhang Yuxuan did things, but it was just helpless, because as Zhang Yuxuan's agent, she naturally knew the reason why Zhang Yuxuan did what he did, but it was because of this that she felt helpless. She even knew
, if a similar situation happens again in the future, Zhang Yuxuan may still intervene.
When it's time to ask for help, you have to lower your posture, otherwise you won't be able to attract investment at all, and you will only be a low-level supporting role in your life, unable to stand out in your life.
"Tsk tsk tsk, brother Wu Jing, you are so real! You are so real! Let me tell you, I have talked to many filmmakers over the years, and they all tried so hard to fool me.
, they want to get as much money as possible from me to make a movie, and they all boast in front of me that they want to invite Zhou Runfa, Zhou Xingxing, and even the sex star Li Liangjie, and they even said that they would invite Hollywood superstars to film.
Movie. Those people really thought I was a fool. I asked for hundreds of millions of investments. Yes, I am rich. My family’s coal mine is worth hundreds of billions. In my opinion, a few hundred million is just a trivial matter.
.But this doesn’t mean that others will treat me as a fool, right? I voted for 30 million. It’s because of your honesty, brother Wu Jing.” What the coal boss said couldn’t be too open.
Wu Jing was not the kind of person who was particularly shameless. Although he drank with him, made fun of him, and said nice things in order to get investment, he never thought about catching the coal boss and fleecing him.
Li He was stunned for a moment.
"Okay, okay, if we don't do a beating scene, we won't do a beating scene. Brother Wu Jing, look, your sister-in-law doesn't want to do a beating scene -"
Moreover, Zhang Yuxuan’s time is so precious, and there is not so much time for Zhang Yuxuan to waste.
"This is a very big project. The Three Kingdoms itself is a very popular IP, and what's more, the director of this movie is Wu Baige who came back from Hollywood. It is said that Han Sanping is very fond of this movie.
Attention, even one of the leaders is Han Sanping. Countless people are vying to participate in this film. However, the size of our cultural media is not small, so we have also secured some investment in it.
"Li He said with a hint of excitement in his eyes.
Hearing what Wu Jing said, the coal boss frowned, and the woman in the coal boss's arms was frightened. After all, the reason why she was able to get close to such a rich coal boss was because of her beauty. If it really happened
He was accidentally scratched on his face while filming: "Brother, I don't want to do a beating scene, it would be bad if I really hurt my face."
"But I lost money on the name certificate."
"I can see it clearly. To play Mei Lanfang, you first have to be able to sing. If you want to act, you have to spend time learning how to sing. And then your age is not so suitable to play Mei Lanfang. There are also acting skills
In this regard..." Li He analyzed from various aspects, and finally came to only one conclusion, that is, even if Zhang Yuxuan puts in the effort to learn singing and audition, the possibility of being eliminated in the end will be very high.
"Well, that's right, the director of Mei Lanfang's movie is Chen Kaige." Li Hed nodded and said calmly.
This meal of wine, at most, was just some compliments, which allowed Wu Jing to successfully win the investment. I can only say that this meal of wine was worth it.
"This is my girlfriend Xiaowei, how do you like it? Pretty!" The coal boss introduced the woman in his arms to Wu Jing.
Thinking of this, Wu Jing couldn't help but become happy again.
"So you just pushed Wu Jing to others? Aren't you worried about others losing money?"
With this idea, people are full of longing for foreign countries, thinking that everything in foreign countries is good. For big directors like Wu Baige who have broken into Hollywood, people in China even praise him to the sky. No, this film
In Chibi, such a large investment was initiated by big guys like Han Sanping, and then countless people flocked to join it, all of them crazy about Wu Baige.
"The movie hosted by Han Sanping should be reliable." Li Hao murmured, but Yuxuan Zhang's words slightly disturbed her mood.
Learning a skill while filming a movie is something that Zhang Yuxuan is not very willing to do. It is really too tiring.
"Is it really enough? I know that the salaries of actors in Xiangjiang are quite high. Zhou Runfa, I heard that when he filmed A City Full of Big Boobs, he asked for a salary of 40 million. You three thousand
Ten thousand, I can only hire three-quarters of Zhou Runfa."
Seeing Yuxuan Zhang like this, Li Hedden almost rolled his eyes in anger: "Yuxuan! In short, in the future, if there are people involved in film investment, you should stop trying to influence them. If you want to influence people, you should also give them to them.
I'll deal with it. Did you hear me?"
To be honest, what Li He said is correct at all, but Yuxuan Zhang doesn’t like to hear it, so it just goes in one ear and out the other.
"It's not that I don't like meeting people, I don't like the excitement, and I don't like drinking!" Zhang Yuxuan muttered.
Whether it's a literary film, a costume blockbuster, or a war film, Zhang Yimou is definitely better than Wu Baige, or even much better.
Therefore, Li Hedong only thought that Zhang Yuxuan could remember some of his own words, so that he could think of her as his agent before doing such things in the future.
After all, what Chen Kaige pursues is still the so-called art.
"The coal bosses aren't worried, so why should I be worried?" Zhang Yuxuan said nonchalantly.
"Wu Baige is so good, so why can't the movie "Wind Whisperer" work?" Zhang Yuxuan said with a bit of ridicule.
Zhang Yuxuan couldn't help but shuddered violently.
However, these years of training have made Wu Jing understand that her personality must change when necessary.
When Zhang Yuxuan looked at the script of Red Cliff, the figure of Miss Lin Chiling appeared in his mind, and it was accompanied by a line: "Mengmeng, stand up——"
"Well, I don't plan to hire Zhou Runfa. In fact, I feel that I am a new director after all, so I don't plan to hire those big-name actors. First, hire some less famous actors with good acting skills and low pay..."
Zhang Yuxuan opened his mouth and bit down the dragon fruit.
"Mei Lanfang? Is this director Chen Kaige?" Zhang Yuxuan raised his eyebrows after seeing a script.
"Thankfully it was successful! Yuxuan, in the future, you should do less of this kind of thing, and try not to do it if you can. When it comes to investing in a movie, Wu Jing, a newcomer, is the director, which is not very reliable in itself.
The thing is, if the movie loses money, the investors may implicate you as the middleman. Also, as the middleman, when people from both sides meet, you are not there yet? What do you think? Don't worry about that.
The coal boss didn't see you as a middleman, so he just slapped his ass and walked away? When the investors are unhappy, Wu Jing might also complain about you. Then you are not a human being inside and outside..." Li He whispered in Zhang Yuxuan's ear
It talks a lot of truth.
If it were someone without integrity, he might brag about it, and then ask for an investment of 100 million or 80 million.
When everything was settled, the coal boss took Xiaowei away, and the smile on Wu Jing's face had already frozen.
"It's not that I'm not optimistic about it. After all, Chibi is also a big IP of the Three Kingdoms. Even if it is not popular in China, places like Xiaoriguo are still obsessed with Three Kingdoms-themed movies. Just selling various copyrights should not lose money.
." Zhang Yuxuan explained.
"Hey, you look down on me so much?" Henry Zhang couldn't help but say.
"What nonsense are you talking about? Who is Chen Kexin and who is Wu Baige? The two of them are not on the same level at all. If Wu Baige's movie loses money, then Chen Kexin can't help but shake his head?" Li He couldn't help but shake his head.
"No matter how much money I have, I can't just use it to squander it." Zhang Yuxuan said confidently.
Speaking of Zhang Yuxuan's assets, although most of Zhang Yuxuan's assets are real estate assets such as houses, but added up, Zhang Yuxuan's net worth has reached ten or even eleven digits. That's probably about so much
Because of the backing of his assets, many of Leslie Cheung's ways of doing things give people the impression that they are becoming more willful.
"Yes, of course I can. To be honest, my sister-in-law is really suitable for acting in movies. However, my movie is an action movie. There are a lot of fighting scenes in it, all kinds of fighting, all kinds of people being beaten and thrown. This
There are quite a lot of things to do. It would be a pity if it accidentally broke or left any marks on the face——"
It's a pity that Zhang Yuxuan doesn't have the ability to clone himself, so he can't read all these scripts. He can only select the scripts and pick out the ones he thinks are good.
(It feels so uncomfortable to beg for help! No matter how you look at ordinary times, when it comes time to ask for help, you have to become a grandson.)
Henry Zhang hung up the phone with a smile on his face.
"Okay, let me take a good look." Zhang Yuxuan nodded.
Although Li He has screened out some of the scripts, the number of remaining scripts is still considerable.
Wu Jing was not surprised at all by this. After all, before he came, Zhang Yuxuan had told Wu Jing about the preferences of the coal boss. He also knew that the coal boss invested in movies. In fact, he wanted to put his woman in the movie.
for the sake of.
To be honest, Wu Jing originally thought that if he couldn't get an investment of 30 million, he would compress it and shoot the movie for 20 million. At most, it would be tight.
"Hahaha, brother Wu Jing is all about loyalty, that's interesting!"
Moreover, because they were screened, Zhang Yuxuan found that the quality of many of the scripts handed to him was quite good.
Li Hed's analysis left Yuxuan a little speechless, and in the end he simply threw the script aside. After all, he was not very optimistic about this movie. Well, it should be said that he didn't like this type of movie very much.
"How could there be no one to invest in him? After all, he is Chen Kaige. Let alone Wuji, one movie of Farewell My Concubine alone would be enough for him to live in for a lifetime. Moreover, Wuji did not lose much money. Although the original movie box office failed to match
The money was made back, but after the copyright of the Wuji movie was sold, it also got a lot of blood, and then sold the discs and other copyrights, zero or zero, so although Wuji lost money, it actually did not lose money.
How much. In addition, Mei Lanfang’s movie is about opera, don’t forget. Chen Kaige’s last opera movie was Farewell My Concubine! The fact that it is an opera-themed movie has already made many people wave
I'm going to join with the check. Not to mention, if this movie is well made, it might even be able to win an award." Li Hed analyzed it very professionally.
"If you have any invitations, just tell me. If I can do it, I will definitely agree."
"You want to help him so much, why don't you directly invest in him yourself? It's only 30 million. For you, it's just a drop in the bucket." Li He said helplessly.
""Three Kingdoms: Red Cliff"?" Zhang Yuxuan looked at the script highlighted by Li Hedong.
"Thank you, thank you. I'll do it, you can do whatever you want." Wu Jing was overjoyed.
"Are you still impatient? Do you think I am willing to handle this kind of thing? It's not you yourself. You are the intermediary between the two parties. When the two parties actually meet, what does it mean if you, the intermediary, are not present?"
"Wait a minute, brother Wu Jing, although I have voted for this movie, I still have a small request." The coal boss said with a smile.
"No problem, this is absolutely no problem. I can arrange another role for my sister-in-law. There will be absolutely no fighting scenes, and my sister-in-law will never be injured. At the same time, I also guarantee that my sister-in-law's role will definitely be indispensable. Boss, do you think this is okay?"
"Zhang Yimou is still busy with the opening ceremony of the Olympic Games. How can he have time to make a movie?" Li He couldn't help rolling his eyes: "After all, Wu Baige has been in Hollywood, and he is also doing well in it.
Director, he has never made a costume war movie before. How do you know that they are not good at it? Go and give it a try, maybe the movie will be good. You can give it a try with Zhou Yu, Zhao Yun, these popular characters.
And as you said, the movie Three Kingdoms is very popular abroad. You can also try to go abroad with the help of the movie Three Kingdoms." Li He persuaded.
Hearing what Li He said, Zhang Yuxuan couldn't help but be stunned for a moment, it seemed, that's right.
Red Cliff was a hit in China, but it still made a lot of noise in Xiaori. Many people in Xiaori even thought that Red Cliff was a good movie.
Yuxuan Zhang can definitely use this movie to break into the foreign film market.
