Chapter 131 "Infernal Affairs" starts up [want to subscribe]

Zhang Hua is an old actor. He has entered middle age. Although he is still active in the entertainment industry, as he gets older and the impact of popular stars on the film and television industry, in recent years, even though he has made many announcements, The schedule is very full, but it has been a long time since I received a good script or a good role.

After he read the script of "Infernal Affairs", his whole mind made up the plot of the movie.

Coupled with the star actors and actresses Hao Huan planned to invite to participate in the performance, he instantly returned to his previous performance state!
Thinking about the four film kings competing with each other, and thinking about so many first- and second-tier actors with excellent acting skills cooperating in the performance, the shocking scene is definitely a gluttonous feast for acting!
"If this "Infernal Affairs" is handled well, it is indeed very likely to break the box office record of domestic films!"

Zhang Hua did not exaggerate, he felt that in terms of story and plot, the level of excitement would definitely not lose to the No. 1 box office "Decisive Battle".

The point is that Hao Huan is willing to spend money!
Think about four film kings, one queen, and more than a dozen first- and second-tier acting stars co-starring, such a luxurious lineup, such a lineup with acting skills, if even "Decisive Battle" can't surpass, then only It is said that Hao Huan really doesn't know how to make movies anymore!
However, the question is, does Hao Huan really not know how to make movies?

Think about "Chain Saw", which cost more than 400 million yuan to produce and almost won 2 million yuan at the box office!
Think about the 16 billion yuan box office "Orphan" received in North America!

Think about "Returning to the Soul Night", which has exceeded 20 billion at the box office and is still singing all the way!
Who dares to say that Hao Huan can't make movies?
Zhang Hua was interested in Hao Huan's movie because of the box office of "Returning Soul Night".

Now, not just interested anymore!

More is to look forward to!

I hope that Hao Huan can really invite four film kings to play on the same stage, and I hope that this "Infernal Affairs" can shoot his ideal look, and then surpass "Decisive Battle" and win the honor of No. [-] box office in one fell swoop!
"But it's a bit difficult!"

Zhang Hua said with emotion that it is not difficult to surpass "Decisive Battle", but that it is very difficult to invite four film stars to participate in "Infernal Affairs".

But at this time, Hao Huan was really in trouble.

The second actor he contacted now has switched to filming variety shows, so it is difficult to find a schedule. Even if he takes Zhang Hua out, the other party is not very interested.

Hao Huan insisted: "It won't affect much if you cancel the recording of two or three episodes of this kind of variety show. Anyway, your salary in this show is nothing. I can pay you liquidated damages for two or three episodes. I'll show you the script, if you want to make my movie, if you want to compete with the three movie kings, you can reply me at any time.

If you don't like the script of my movie, and you only want to be a variety show in your heart, and you are willing to be lowered by those traffic newcomers, then treat it as if I didn't invite you, anyway, I don't force it, after all, there are some in this circle who are suitable for this actor of the role. "

After hanging up the phone, Hao Huan used the provocation method. He just wanted to stimulate the other party and step on his dignity!

The dignified actor, representing the powerful actors whose works have been popular all over the country.But now he has switched to a variety show. The funniest thing is the remuneration of the actor, which is not even as good as a sissy star who debuted in a talent show!

The popularity on the show is far less than these sissy stars who have not debuted for a long time.So Hao Huan's provocative method can naturally hurt the other party's self-esteem, and then he will not accept Hao Huan in his heart, and he will not accept those new debuts, but the salary is better than that of an actor!
"No surprises, the second best actor should also be won!"

Hao Huan sent the script over, and then continued to contact the next actor.

When he said that there were already two film kings participating in the show, the other party was a little excited before reading the script!

Hao Huan, relying on his three-inch tongue, successfully made the third film star have a strong interest in the movie "Infernal Affairs", and then expressed his desire to read the script.

Hao Huan naturally had to satisfy this request. After he sent the script, the actor who just said he was unavailable for recording a variety show suddenly replied: "Are you sure Zhang Hua and the others will participate in this movie?" In the middle of filming?"

Hao Huan replied: "If you confirm it now, they will also confirm it! Right now, you four film kings are missing one out of three. As long as one of you is confirmed to participate in "Infernal Affairs", the other three will reject the announcement. Time to make this movie!"

"How long will the filming take?"

"Estimated two months."

"Are you sure you can finish filming in two months?"

"No problem! As long as you are fully prepared, "Returning Soul Night" will be completed within a month, and "Infernal Affairs" will also be completed within a month. It's just for the pursuit of perfection. This time I am not pursuing the shooting progress, but the shooting quality."

"I took this role, the exact salary and my schedule arrangement, you just need to discuss it with my agent!"

"no problem!"

Hao Huan smiled, the aggressive method is still useful!Of course, if the script hadn't been recognized and liked by the other party, they wouldn't have changed their mind so quickly.

As a result, of the four film stars on the list, only the last one is left!

And the last one is no problem, because when Wang Lexin contacted, the other party had already expressed interest, so I sent the script to the other party to read. If the content of the story is good, then the four film kings can really be invited over. Yes!
Hao Huan smiled triumphantly, as expected, relying on Wang Lexin is still not enough!To deal with them, I still have to go out of the mountain myself!

Now the four movie stars are no longer a problem, and Liu Yuxi is fine. If other first- and second-tier stars and a movie queen know that there are already four movie stars participating, then even if the schedule is really full, they will think about it. The way to reject it, and then choose to shoot "Infernal Affairs"!

two hours later.

Hao Huan successfully won four movie stars!
With the four film kings as a gimmick, everyone else is easy to talk about.

Therefore, there were only a few people on the list of people who were interested, but everyone who was targeted by Hao Huan was persuaded by him!

Rearranging the list, there are 4 movie kings, 1 movie queen, and 8 first- and second-tier actors.

enough!
These stars are not considered for the remaining key supporting roles.

Hao Huan sent the new list to Wang Lexin, and said solemnly: "You contact their assistants or agents, discuss the salary with them, then draw up a contract, and send someone to sign with them. If you don't know their salary, let Manager Gu Zhaohong will help you investigate!"

Wang Lexin asked dumbfounded: "Boss, how did you do it? They all agreed to make "Infernal Affairs"?"

"Nonsense! If you don't agree, can I ask you to negotiate salary with them! You are a pig brain, and you will be dismissed casually by other people's assistants and managers! Learn to be tough when you should be tough! Those Can assistant agents have the qualifications to represent them? Just like you, do you have the qualifications to make decisions on my behalf?"

"No……"

Wang Lexin responded weakly.

"That's right! So next time you encounter this kind of thing! Be polite when you should be polite, and be tough when you should be tough!"

"Oh……"

Wang Lexin asked: "Then how will their remuneration be calculated? By the day or a one-time bid?"

Hao Huan replied: "It's all right. Anyway, the shooting time will not exceed two months. You can first ask Gu Zhaohong to find out their salary price, and then negotiate with them. It is still the same as before, and actor sharing and investment are not accepted, so you see Let's do it!"

"Okay." Wang Lexin replied solemnly.

Hao Huan hung up the phone, and he didn't need to do such trivial things as salary. Wang Lexin's frugal character, let her talk about it and save a lot of money, so Hao Huan was very relieved.

night.

4 movie kings and 1 movie queen are all in talks!
The total remuneration of these five big names is only 2.1 million yuan, which is a bit beyond Hao Huan's expectation. I don't know if the other party's offer is low, or Wang Lexin bargained too hard.

Originally, Hao Huan thought that the remuneration of these five people would at least exceed 3 million yuan, but he did not expect to win them for a mere 2.1 million yuan.

Counting Liu Yuxi's first- and second-tier stars, the most luxurious and powerful starring lineup in history didn't even need 4 million yuan in the end!

Therefore, the originally planned production cost of 10 billion yuan, now it seems that it is estimated that 7 billion yuan is enough.

Next, after they all signed the contract, the starring list of "Infernal Affairs" can be finalized and announced!
When the list is announced, Hao Huan feels that it will definitely cause a sensation on the Internet!

Because in history, there has never been such an awesome cast!
4 movie kings and 1 movie queen.

Just this lineup is amazing enough!
At this time, what Hao Huan expected was to pay these actors such a high salary. From the perspective of the system, would it be considered a meaningless consumption behavior and then judged as a prodigal?
Therefore, after signing the contract, he directly transferred Zhang Hua's 6000 million yuan of film remuneration, and paid off the other party's buyout film remuneration in one lump sum.

I saw that the system interface actually had an extra 6000 million prodigal value!
“It turns out that this is the best way to obtain prodigal value!”

Hao Huan found that he had been using the wrong system all along!Since the emergence of the system, except for Liu Yuxi, he has never used any star actors with ridiculously high salaries in his movies, so he didn't realize that paying a high price to hire a star to make a movie was actually a prodigal act!
In other words, from the system's point of view, actor Zhang Hua's salary is not worth 6000 million yuan at all!

"Interesting, even an actor with such good acting skills is not worth 6000 million yuan, so those traffic stars who don't have acting skills, in the eyes of the system, they are not even worth 6000 yuan!"

Through this attempt, Hao Huan discovered a new world!From now on, it will be much easier to unlock movies with a cost of hundreds of millions!
But one thing worth keeping in mind is that he cannot use the same actor to gain prodigal points repeatedly, such as Liu Yuxi.

They have been in touch for a long time when making movies, and the system judges them as friends, so direct transactions between relatives and friends, even if they cost billions or tens of billions, will not be included in the standard of prodigal.

Therefore, in the future, if he wants to earn prodigal points on celebrities when making movies, he has to change them one by one. Otherwise, once the familiar actor is judged as a friend by the system, a lot of prodigal points will be wasted in vain.

"Besides, there are many places in this movie where you can get prodigal points!"

Hao Huan immediately thought of a lot of places where he could spend money to get prodigal value, and then set up work on the set, so he could verify it.

After the starring list of "Infernal Affairs" was finalized, Hao Huan immediately released the list on the Internet, and then his Weibo really exploded!
"Fuck! 4 movie kings and 1 movie queen co-star? This lineup is awesome!"

"Strong and invincible! The starring lineup turned out to be all powerful actors. This time it is stable, and it is estimated that it will really surpass the box office of "Decisive Battle"!"

"Don't rush to boast! Zhou Zhongcai's "Double Happiness" has such a strong star lineup. Didn't he say that he would surpass "Decisive Battle" before it was released? In the end, it didn't hit the street!"

"The cast of "Double Happiness" is nothing! How can a group of traffic stars who are popular but have no acting skills compare with this group of movie kings and actresses!"

""Infernal Affairs" is a suspenseful and crime-themed police film. This time Hao Huan finally made a normal movie! I hope the storyline is even more exciting than "Returning Soul Night"!"

……

Zhou Zhongcai was dumbfounded when he learned about this. How did Hao Huan invite so many movie stars?Zhang Hua and the others actually participated in this movie?
Hao Huan must have spent a lot of money to lure them here!Otherwise, how could four movie stars come together to make this guy's movie!
He was so angry that he gritted his teeth and thought that when he was filming "Double Happiness", he also thought about inviting two movie stars to watch the scene, but in the end no one gave him the honor!

As a result, Hao Huan invited 4 film kings and 1 film queen at once. Doesn't this mean that Hao Huan has more face than Zhou Zhongcai?
He is out of balance!
……

Five days later.

"Returning Soul Night" was released for 20 days, and the box office successfully broke through the 30 billion yuan mark, officially launching an impact towards 40 billion yuan.

Hao Huan is busy arranging the preparations before the filming of "Infernal Affairs".

The movie will start filming in 20 days, and during these 20 days, he may regain the label of "prodigal", and then his parents will definitely scold him for being a prodigal.

Netizens will frantically talk about his prodigal behavior...

But none of this matters!

The important thing is that while getting more prodigal values, it can also make the shooting of the movie more realistic and bring a more shocking visual experience to the audience!

……

After 10 days.

"Returning to the Soul Night" has been released for a month.

The current total box office is only 37 billion yuan, and all theaters have begun to extend the screening time of "The Night of the Soul".

Judging from the current situation where the daily box office has dropped to only 4000 to 45 million yuan, the final box office of "Return to the Soul Night" may be between 50 billion and [-] billion.

So breaking through "Decisive Battle" is very difficult, unless Hao Huan suddenly spends a few hundred million to hit the box office, otherwise he can only expect "Infernal Affairs" to surpass "Decisive Battle" and set a new record!

Another 10 days later.

After setting up the set, the crew of "Infernal Affairs" officially announced the start of production!
At the same time, Hao Huan's inhumane behavior made everyone dumbfounded!
