The perfect future of rebirth

Zhao Fusheng can actually understand Jiang Wen's complaints.

When they went to visit the class before, the two had some exchanges. Regarding the script of "The Devil Is Coming", Zhao Fusheng watched with his own eyes that Jiang Wen made a lot of notes and revisions when he wrote the script.

With such knowledge, he also understands what creation is all about.

The real creation, whether it is music or literary works, is actually a long and boring process.

A flash of inspiration may have a good idea, which can make people motivated in an instant, but if you want a work to change from a rough to a finished product, you need to continue to think about it.

Just like an ice sculpture, from the first big ice block to the magnificent scenery, what needs to be accumulated bit by bit.

"Talk about them, isn't it just spending a little more money, as for those who refuse to let go?" Jiang Wen was still chattering like a child.

Zhao Fusheng smiled lightly: "I said, you have to understand others, the movie is a commercial operation in the final analysis."

Jiang Wen remained silent, in fact, he also understood what Zhao Fusheng said, but he just felt uncomfortable.

Even, as a person who has been immersed in this circle longer than Zhao Fusheng, Jiang Wen is very clear about the essence of movies.

The essence of movies is the art category under commercial behavior. The nature of entertainment itself determines most movies. The original intention of filming is to make money.

Unless you just want to record something at the beginning of shooting, what is it to make a movie that reflects folk art, because no one will watch it, and cry and shout for sad marketing?

Use the sympathy of the audience to consume?

Even top directors like Sunglasses King and Hou Suqian didn’t just think about pursuing the film art they wanted when they first started making movies, they might not want to prove that they can get the public’s approval through the box office take-off. favorite.

If you just want to make a niche literary film, then why do you need to release it? It’s better to keep it for yourself to watch.

To put it bluntly, I am very happy, and I also want to make all the audience happy with me.

What did that sentence say?

Loneliness is a carnival of one person, but carnival is the loneliness of a group of people.

However, in the world of Sunglasses King, it is obvious that he is the only one who is having a carnival. As for the others, sorry, most of the time, everyone can't figure out what he is going to do.

Not everyone is Liang Yingdi, and not everyone is called Maggie Cheung.

"Old Jiang, in my opinion, you really should control yourself." Seeing that Jiang Wen didn't speak, Zhao Fusheng was not polite, and said directly to Jiang Wen: "Think about it, this drama will most likely be suppressed." Feng, even if you don't think about the present, don't you think about the future?"

Jiang Wen was stunned for a moment, and then understood what Zhao Fusheng meant. In fact, as Zhao Fusheng said, both of them knew that the movie "The Devil Is Coming" is very difficult to be released in China in all likelihood. With the piss of the great radio and television, let alone the release, if it gets stiff, Jiang Wen felt that he would probably follow in the footsteps of many fifth and sixth generation directors and become one of the banned ones.

"Then the shooting is still short of a lot of money, what should I do?" Jiang Wen took a deep breath and said to Zhao Fusheng.

This guy has always been very thoughtful, he thought he could listen to Zhao Fusheng's opinion.

Zhao Fusheng smiled: "This is easy to handle. How much money did you want for the report you made with Huayi?"

"1000 million." Jiang Wen replied.

Zhao Fusheng took a deep breath, and said to himself that you really took the Wang brothers as a victim. With an investment of 3000 million, you will make a movie that is impossible to be released in China.

Zhao Fusheng could only tell Jiang Wen that he really didn't understand the brain circuit of the prodigal son.

It’s also very interesting to say that the three major money-losing directors in the Mainland of Hong Kong Island Bay Bay, Sunglasses King, Hou Losing Money and Jiang Wen are all the kind of people who just want to feel good when they are filming. As for investors and audiences, I’m sorry, you’re not here within the scope of my consideration.

Especially the Sunglasses King and Hou Suqian, they are the so-called two kings of the 90s director world.

What kind of prince will Xiangning?

But now, Jiang Wen seems to be trying to catch up with the two seniors.

"What's the matter, is it a little less?" Jiang Wen asked cautiously after seeing that Zhao Fusheng hadn't spoken.

Zhao Fusheng blinked his eyes, and swallowed back the swear words that came to his lips. He really wanted to ask Jiang Wen, where did your old man get his confidence.

The thickness of this cheek is comparable to the city wall of Chang'an, okay?

"Brother, it's not less, it's more." Zhao Fusheng explained speechlessly: "You call Mr. Wang now and say that you don't want 1000 million, and ask him to give you 500 million, and you can make the movie. I guess he will agree to you."

"Really?" Jiang Wen asked doubtfully.

He always felt that Zhao Fusheng's words were somewhat unlikely. After all, Huayi's request for an increase in investment had reacted very strongly. It is said that the vice president in charge of finance had already had a table with Wang Zhongjun.

Now Zhao Fusheng asked himself to ask for 500 million, can others give it?

Even if this is retreating to advance, it is too obvious.

Zhao Fusheng laughed, and had to say that Jiang Wen was a smart man, but it was because he was so smart that the effect of blinding Mount Tai appeared.

For Hua Yi now, Jiang Wen is like a signboard, and it is impossible for Hua Yi to give up Jiang Wen.In other words, no matter how much "The Devil Is Coming" cost to shoot, Hua Yi would grit his teeth and agree.

It's just that the other party is probably considering a point of profit and loss. After all, "The Devil Is Coming" cannot be screened in China, so they can only consider major foreign film festivals, which is the so-called overseas copyright.If the film can sell overseas copyrights, maybe the cost can be recovered.

Of course, the overseas copyrights of Huaxia's movies are usually not high, and usually end up at 200 million US dollars, plus the messy income, the visual estimate will not exceed 300 million US dollars.

Converted into RMB, it is about 500 million.

That's why Zhao Fusheng told Jiang Wen to give up the unrealistic 1000 million and ask for 500 million instead.

According to Zhao Fusheng's guess, Hua Yi would definitely agree. After all, Jiang Wen is a good director and actor, and he is quite capable.

How could the Wang family brothers, who were ambitious and wanted to develop in the film and television industry, give up on Jiang Wen?

It's just that these things are the conclusions Zhao Fusheng got from the standpoint of foresight, and there is no way to tell Jiang Wen.

"Don't think too much, just make a phone call." Zhao Fusheng said to Jiang Wenru.

Chapter 451 Holiday Arrangements (171/281)

In fact, Jiang Wen sometimes felt that Zhao Fusheng's maturity made people feel a little creepy.

Well, in fact, he felt that sometimes he, a director and actor in his 30s, didn't see things as well as Zhao Fusheng, who was in his early twenties and hadn't graduated yet. It can be said that he was a young student who knew clearly, and his heart was a little unbalanced.

It's like looking at other people's children, and then looking at your own children, and can't help feeling whether I was the old king next door.

Although the words were not very clear, Zhao Fusheng was sure that Jiang Wen must have listened to his words.

Although artists have pursuits, artists also have to eat.

If Jiang Wen was the kind of person who didn't know how to adapt and was tense, he wouldn't have made a blockbuster movie like "Let the Bullets Fly".

To put it bluntly, Zhao Fusheng is very clear that Jiang Wen, like himself, is a character who can sacrifice some things to achieve his goals.

I have to say that sometimes the days go by very quickly, maybe we haven't paid much attention to it, and we suddenly realize that we have missed too many things.

Just like Zhao Fusheng, he found helplessly that it was already July.
