Because of the arrival of Lao Mouzi today, and Chu Yian solved a problem that had been bothering the crew for a long time, Li Min asked for Chu Yian's consent and left work early.
It was like giving the crew a half-day off. A bunch of crew members couldn't help but shout long live.
However, since Lao Mouzi was here, several important creative members naturally came to meet this great director.
After all, being able to get along well with a great director may give them the opportunity to work together in the future.
Chow Yun-fat and Lao Mouzi have not worked together yet, but in the near future, they will work together on a movie called City Full of Big Boobs.
In the previous life, this movie was also full of big names, and even invited the popular Jay Chou to play a prince.
Jay Chou even cooperated with the movie to create the ending song "Chrysanthemum Terrace" and the theme song "Golden Curse".
It is indeed all gold. As for the movie, Chu Yian can only say haha.
However, he can understand it.
Not all directors can make every movie a great one.
There are many reasons why good directors make bad movies. After all, the bigger the investment, the more interests involved, and the more the director is affected.
When shooting this movie in the previous life, the relationship between Lao Mouzi and his old partner had already cracked, and various influences were taking effect. In that case, it was not easy to shoot like that.
But Chu Yian still has to say that Lao Mouzi should not be at this level. It can only be said that Lao Mouzi himself has a big reason.
Of course, Lao Mouzi has not started his blockbuster era yet, and Hero is still in the preparation stage.
So, Chu Yian still listened to what Lao Mouzi said before.
At this time, Li Amin had found a very good restaurant, and the host and the guest sat down, and naturally there was another chat.
Chu Yian naturally had to agree to Lao Mouzi's previous invitation.
After all, he knew too well whether the movie "Hero" could make money.
In the previous life, the movie "Hero" had already earned more than 200 million in the mainland box office alone.
Then, the overseas market took more than 100 million US dollars in box office, which was equivalent to 1 billion RMB at the exchange rate at that time.
Of course, this movie was also a real big investment, with a cost of 250 million RMB.
However, this was said to those outside, to show his generosity, just to tell everyone that this is a super blockbuster. But in fact, the total cost will not exceed 200 million.
There are also actors' salaries in the middle, which naturally have to be calculated.
However, what Chu Yian is a little bit unsure about now is that Lao Mouzi has already made it clear that he wants him to play the leading role in "Hero".
You know, the leading actor of this movie in the previous life was Kung Fu Emperor Jie Ge.
Jie Ge had already established a very good reputation in Hollywood at that time, and his salary in Hollywood had reached the level of tens of millions.
Therefore, Jie Ge played a very important role in the success of "Hero" in the overseas market in the previous life.
If Chu Yian, a newcomer who is unknown to the public, were to play the role in this film, it might be better to choose Chu Yian from the perspective of the Eastern audience.
However, foreign audiences do not know Chu Yian. In other words, almost all the box office revenue in the overseas market has been abandoned.
For an investor, this is undoubtedly picking up sesame seeds and losing watermelons.
Chu Yian will not abandon huge benefits for his so-called fame.
You know, although "Hero" won the annual box office champion in the mainland in the previous life, with a box office of more than 200 million yuan, it was far from enough compared to the investment cost of the film.
If you only look at the box office in the mainland, this movie is a loss.
The main way to make money is to rely on overseas box office.
Abandoning overseas box office is undoubtedly very unwise.
Something that can obviously make money, but it has to be turned into a loss, isn't this something that only a fool would do?
Therefore, Chu Yian agreed to Lao Mouzi's invitation, but did not completely agree.
"Director Zhang, I am very willing and honored to be able to participate in your film."
"But I am afraid that this protagonist is not suitable for me."
"Director, I already know your general ideas and story outline. I think that this movie should let Brother Jie be the male lead."
"I think this movie should perform well in the overseas market. In Brother Jie's words, both the domestic box office and the overseas box office can be taken into account."
"And Zeng Lai and I can play Canjian and Feixue, a pair of chivalrous lovers who give up their small self for the world and fulfill their greater self."
"After all, Zeng Lai and I are originally lovers, and then we can playThis couple with tragic colors will be more shocking. "
"Director Zhang, what do you think of my idea?"
When Chu Yian said this, everyone else present was stunned.
Is there anyone who can resist the temptation of the male lead of Lao Mouzi's movie?
It's really weird!
But it's not surprising to think about it. Chu Yian's girlfriend Zeng Lai has rejected Lao Mouzi's female lead before.
Now it's her boyfriend's turn to reject Lao Mouzi's male lead. These two people are really like a family.
But in this way, a group of people admire Chu Yian even more.
Being able to control your desires, purely consider the movie itself, and make the best choice, it would be really unfair if such a person doesn't become a great man.
Lao Mouzi was also stunned when he heard Chu Yian's words, but he After careful thinking, he felt that it made a lot of sense.
Just now, when he saw Chu Yian's big move, he was really a little excited. He felt that the male protagonist should be such a swordsman!
But now after listening to Chu Yian's analysis, he regained his rationality. It would indeed be better as Chu Yian said.
Moreover, Chu Yian is now very popular in the mainland, and he and Zeng Lai are already the most popular couple.
Let them play a pair of tragic lovers who sacrificed for their country in their own movie, this gimmick is expected to be even more explosive.
He immediately thought of many publicity points, and some plot designs, which can add color to the film.
At this time, Lao Mouzi slapped his thigh:
"Great, this idea is great! Xiao An, you are really a genius."
"This method is good, just do as you say. It's just that Ajie guy, I have to spend some effort to talk to him."
"Now he is doing well in Hollywood, and his salary is also very high. ”
“You are going to invest in our movie, and you have to pay such a high salary, are you willing to do that?”
At this time, Chu Yian said something that surprised everyone:
“Director Zhang, you don’t have to go to him. Just spread a little rumor that this blockbuster is going to enter Hollywood, and he will naturally come to you!”
“Besides, you don’t even have to ask, he will take the initiative to lower his price!”
PS: Please urge the big guys to update and give a few five-star reviews, there are too few reviews now.
In addition, it’s not that the author doesn’t want to post pictures, but because this is a new account and I don’t have the permission to post pictures. I will add some pictures after a few days when I have the permission.
