The perfect future of rebirth

We all know that Moutai is a good wine, but the problem is that if you haven't drunk that stuff, it's hard to judge whether it suits your taste.

So although Zhao Fusheng knew very well that "Looking for a Gun" was a good movie, he still didn't intend to let Jiang Wen spend money unscrupulously. A play, and then the budget is completely spent, and finally ask for money.

It's not that Lao Jiang has never done this kind of thing. When filming "The Devil Is Coming", this guy just spent all his budget, and then forced Huayi to continue to take money.

"How much do you think the investment is appropriate?"

Now that Lao Jiang has admitted that he is cowardly, then Zhao Fusheng can't be aggressive any more. He glanced at Jiang Wen and asked.

"Well, it must be 1000 million anyway." Jiang Wen said casually.

Zhao Fusheng blinked his eyes to make sure that he heard Jiang Wen's words correctly, and then felt that this guy is simply a jerk.

"Is it a bit small?" Lao Jiang didn't realize it at all, so he asked Zhao Fusheng with a shy face if his budget was a bit small.

Taking a deep breath, Zhao Fusheng tried his best to tell himself that as a good person with culture, thoughts and pursuits, he cannot be as knowledgeable as the mentally ill person in front of him. Grade and IQ.

Yes, it is like that.

"What's the matter, your complexion is not very good."

Jiang Wen didn't feel that way at all, and looked at Zhao Fusheng with a cute expression on his face.

Zhao Fusheng gave him a cold look: "Director Jiang Da, can you tell me about the script?"

"Ah? Okay, okay." Jiang Wen was taken aback, and then happily introduced the story content of "Looking for a Gun" to Zhao Fusheng.

The story content of "Looking for a Gun" is actually not complicated: Ma Shan is an ordinary policeman in a small town in the southwest mountainous area.He has a pistol with him all day long. Although he has never used it, he knows that the town is peaceful and peaceful because of him and his pistol.Waking up one morning, Ma Shan found that the pistol had disappeared.Looking at the empty holster, Ma Shan's spirit almost collapsed. There were three bullets in his gun. He knew that the person who stole the gun was going to kill someone.

Ma Shan carefully recalled the scene of the night before, when his sister got married, he got drunk and was sent home.For a time, all the people who attended the wedding became the objects of his suspicion. Like an anxious ghost, Ma Shan walked around every corner of the town, examining everyone around him with suspicious eyes.Liu Jieba, who sells mutton noodles, doesn't stutter when he sees Ma Shan, which leaves a doubt in Ma Shan's mind.

After careful investigation, Ma Shan went to find Zhou Xiaogang, the owner of the car that sent him home that day.To Ma Shan's surprise, it was Li Xiaomeng, his lover more than ten years ago, who opened the door. Li Xiaomeng fell in love with Ma Shan, but left without saying goodbye. Now he is back and lives in Zhou Xiaogang's house. What is going on?The appearance of Li Xiaomeng made the case more complicated. His complex feelings towards Li Xiaomeng were intertwined with his suspicion of throwing the gun, and Ma Shan's wife, who was a primary school teacher, thought that Ma Shan had empathized with someone else and felt dissatisfied with him. understand.One night later, Li Xiaomeng was suddenly beaten to death at Zhou Xiaogang's house, and the killing tool was Ma Shan's lost gun.Ma Shan was detained as a suspect in the murder of Li Xiaomeng.His peaceful family life was also shattered, with his eight-year-old son and wife plunged into fear and worry.

Ma Shan overcame the extreme mental tension and the heavy load that there were still two bullets in the gun, and two or more people might be killed. In the cell, he calmly analyzed that the murderer came for Zhou Xiaogang. , Li Xiaomeng was killed by mistake and died in place of Zhou Xiaogang.The impact of the bullet confirmed his analysis, and Ma Shan was released.Following the clues, he found Zhou Xiaogang's fake distillery, but the gun was still missing.The focus is on Zhou Xiaogang, the murderer will come to find Zhou Xiaogang.Ma Shan wears Zhou Xiaogang's clothes and starts to go out dressed as Zhou Xiaogang.Sure enough, as he expected, the murderer appeared and shot him.

It turned out that Liu Jieba was the one who stole the gun. He hated Zhou Xiaogang for making fake wine and killed his relatives, so he took the stupid and extreme method of stealing the gun and killing him.Facing the black muzzle of the gun, Ma Shan suddenly understood that in order to prevent anyone from being killed, the bullets in the gun have only one destination, which is his own body. After fourteen days of searching for the gun, this is the result he secretly wanted. , which is the only way to remedy one's own fault.He struggled and shouted, forcing Stutter to shoot him again. While shooting, Ma Shan handcuffed the murderer with himself.Ma Shan's soul flew away from his body. Holding the found pistol in his arms, he stood up from the pool of blood, with tears in his eyes, but walked away with a smile.

Listening to Jiang Wen's vivid narration of the script, Zhao Fusheng frowned, and only after Jiang Wen finished speaking did he look at Jiang Wen.

"Where are you going to film this scene?" Zhao Fusheng asked.

"Well, what do you think of Southwest?" Jiang Wen thought for a while and said to Zhao Fusheng.There is no awareness that I am not a director or screenwriter.

"Is there any big scene?" Zhao Fusheng continued to ask calmly.

"That's not true, and it can't be involved." Jiang Wen is very honest, after all, this drama is mainly supported by the acting skills of the actors, and there are no so-called special effects or big scenes such as explosions.

"Do you need any big-name actors?" Zhao Fusheng glanced at Jiang Wen, and then asked.

"No, if I'm the male lead, I can just pick and choose from the rest of the cast." Jiang Wen said with a chuckle.

This is the truth, the main story content of this play requires the support of the actor's acting skills, which he can do by himself. As for the other supporting roles, they are not so important.

"In this case, can you tell me, why do you want a budget of 1000 million?" Zhao Fusheng rolled his eyes and looked at Jiang Wen, and said contemptuously: "It's you, old Jiang, who still thinks I can't handle it." It's a knife, believe it or not, I'll show you every minute!"

Jiang Wen was immediately embarrassed, and he had to admit that what Zhao Fusheng said was right, he was indeed a bit of a lion.

ps: "Looking for a Gun", I really recommend everyone to watch it. Although the director is Lu Chuan, I have to admit that the whole story is in Jiang Wen's style, and it's not easy for Jiang Wen at this time, and his career is going well. Being in a trough, it is not easy to make such a movie.Of course, I can't say how good this movie is, but at least it is a work of heart.

ps2: England was really sucked to death by me. The prediction yesterday morning was correct.Tonight, I think nine and 10 minutes should be a draw. Don't underestimate the Croatians. These guys will definitely risk their lives for the championship.But the problem is that they played three overtime games, so I think the final champion should be France.

Chapter 865

In fact, Jiang Wen has no choice. Filming is not much different from doing business. For directors, asking for a lot of money is what they have to do, but for investors, paying back the money is their only magic weapon. .

In normal times, if Jiang Wen was filming for someone else, Zhao Fusheng would definitely support him without saying a word, let alone 1000 million, Zhao Fusheng would even help out with ideas so that Jiang Wen could get more funds for filming.

But the problem now is that Jiang Wen intends to let Phoenix Film and Television invest.

To put it bluntly, they took money out of their own pockets, and of course Zhao Fusheng couldn't allow him to waste it.

The ass decides the head, no matter what it is, if you want to see clearly a person's way of doing things, you only need to put yourself in the person's shoes and think clearly about the person's starting point, and you will be able to understand exactly what he will do.

Just like the current Zhao Fusheng, as a member of the investor, he would not allow Jiang Wen to spend tens of millions to make a "Looking for a Gun".

"Up to 500 million, and the three companies have to contribute together." Zhao Fusheng raised his finger to Jiang Wen and said flatly.

Jiang Wen frowned: "500 million, there must be three companies?"

Obviously, he was very dissatisfied with the condition that Zhao Fusheng said, to be precise, he was very dissatisfied.

After all, he is a majestic film king, and even though Lu Chuan is a newcomer, it is not easy. With the blessing of his father's relationship, he only gave 500 million filming funds. This guy Zhao Fusheng is simply a representative of stingy.

Glancing at him, Zhao Fusheng said angrily: "Our Phoenix Film and Television will sell some of it, and I can persuade Future Film and Television to take some, and Hua Yi will naturally come forward for the rest. Old Jiang, after all, your contract is in Huayi. Yi there, unless you plan to leave in the future, there is no need to get too stiff with them."

Jiang Wen fell silent for a moment, the relationship between him and Hua Yi was very complicated, his current management contract was with Hua Yi, but it was about to expire.The Wang brothers intend to renew their contract, but Jiang Wen doesn't think so.

At the beginning, I signed into Huayi to support my friends. After all, when Huayi started to do film and television in [-], there were not many stars under the banner. Jiang Wen went to support them.

But now, Hua Yi can be said to be a strong soldier in the domestic film and television industry. Even the woman Wang Jinghua started to ignore Zhao Fusheng, violated the original agreement with Zhao Fusheng, and started to fool Fan Baobao. The prestige in the domestic private film and television industry at the moment.

Therefore, Lao Jiang's idea is very simple. After the drama "Looking for a Gun" is over, he is going to leave Huayi.

He didn't tell anyone about this matter, but unexpectedly, Zhao Fusheng saw it.

Of course Zhao Fusheng didn't see it, he guessed it based on the memory in his mind.After all, in his memory, Jiang Wen and Hua Yi seemed to have parted ways. Although this was normal in the entertainment industry, for Zhao Fusheng, this was a good opportunity.

"Well, you're right, it's easy to get together and get away." Jiang Wen was silent for a moment, then suddenly said to Zhao Fusheng.

When Zhao Fusheng smiled, he knew that Jiang Wen must have planned to leave Huayi.

But now that Jiang Wen was still in Huayi, he naturally couldn't speak out to attract the other party. The friendship between the Wang family brothers and Jiang Wen was not bad.

"But having said that, do you also think the script is okay?" Jiang Wen quickly changed the topic to the script and asked Zhao Fusheng.

Zhao Fusheng nodded: "It's pretty good, the filming is done, I think it can make money."

Hearing this sentence, Jiang Wen's eyes lit up, he had no choice, his life has not been easy recently, as a director for "The Devil Is Coming" almost cost Hua Yi tens of millions, if Zhao Fusheng hadn't come up with an idea to take it Participating in foreign exhibitions and selling overseas distribution rights, it is estimated that even the cost will not be recovered.As an actor, I participated in that so-called "Heaven and Earth Heroes", but this drama was released during the Spring Festival, and I almost didn't get scolded to death.

Coupled with the recent confrontation between him and a certain big director in the industry, Lao Jiang fell into a trough in his life all of a sudden.

But now, Zhao Fusheng told him that the script of "Looking for a Gun" could even make money, which made Jiang Wen a little moved.

"As for the investment, you can talk to Ye Jing again, I don't think it's a big problem." Zhao Fusheng glanced at Jiang Wen and said slowly.

Jiang Wen nodded. He also knew that Ye Jing and Yu Feihong must be notified of this matter. After all, the company is not owned by him and Zhao Fusheng. According to the rules set before, at least three of the four partners must agree. OK.

"Then you are in charge of your company." Jiang Wen thought for a while.
