Became the best actor, the system just finished loading

Chapter 86 It doesn't seem like acting at all (asking for monthly votes)

"What are you afraid of? A person of integrity has nothing to fear."

Ye Weimin was amused by Qi Hao's curious look.

"How can you be so upright when you come to see me in the middle of the night?"

Qi Hao was speechless. Today's training opportunity was ruined by this guy.

This week I can only have eight-hour sessions three times.

Are all people in Hong Kong so impatient?

Yes, a movie can be made in one or two weeks. It seems that the more economically developed a place is, the faster the pace.

Of course, Hong Kong’s economy has not been growing fast in recent years.

"I'm worried about you, you're like a scumbag, neither rejecting me nor agreeing to me, which makes me feel uncomfortable."

Ye Weimin felt that it was not his fault.

"Fuck." These words made Qi Hao tremble with anger. What a messed up metaphor.

"Hey, I gave you the script yesterday. Have you finished reading it? Make a decision quickly. To be honest, if you are really not interested, let me find someone else to try."

Ye Weimin didn't believe that he couldn't find investment.

Even if Chen Kexin doesn't help, he still has some connections.

At most, there will be some interference during the production process.

"I've read the script, it's pretty good, but there are some minor issues."

Qi Hao has a photographic memory, so it only takes him half an hour to read the script.

Ye Weimin sought help from Wen Jun and organized several young screenwriters to work together on the script for the Spring Festival travel season.

Wen Jun is a senior producer and planner, and is another big broker besides Chen Kexin.

He helped find the investment for "Sunny Days".

He participated in the production and screenwriting of "Feng Yun", "Young and Dangerous" and "Chinese Hero".

Compared to Chen Kexin, he is better at making movies with less money.

Ye Weimin said that if Qi Hao could not invest in him, he might look for someone else, and that person is Wen Jun.

"what is the problem?"

Ye Weimin was not panicked at all, he had confidence in the script.

He didn't think there was anything wrong with it. Qi Hao was an actor, so he would probably just find some minor flaws.

"I think it's too similar to several foreign films, Bon Voyage, Due Date, Love in Distress, and maybe others, but I don't know much about them."

Qi Hao was straightforward and not polite at all.

He was saying that the script was suspected of plagiarism.

Maybe in the eyes of these old hands, this level of plagiarism is nothing, but Qi Hao is still a rookie and he finds it a little hard to accept.

"Haha, you have a lot of experience. In fact, you only borrowed from these three movies."

Ye Weimin chuckled.

“This is a bit too much reference.”

Qi Hao muttered.

"Don't worry, I'll ask a few screenwriters to make some changes, and I will definitely not let the crew get sued for plagiarism."

Ye Weimin was a little upset, but he also knew that Qi Hao was young and energetic.

We can only exploit those screenwriters.

"Thanks. It's better to change it before the money arrives."

It’s not like Qi Hao hasn’t acted in plagiarized TV shows or movies before, nor does he have such high moral standards. He just doesn’t want to get into trouble.

The higher you go, the more you cherish your reputation.

"Okay, okay, but there are traces of reference that cannot be completely eradicated. You know our business."

If Ye Weimin said that it has been completely eliminated, that would be a lie.

Well, if you give a guarantee to an ordinary coal boss, he really dares to fool around.

Of course, ordinary coal bosses cannot detect plagiarism.

"Another reason is that the script is too complicated. Based on my experience, I'm sure I can't cut so much."

However, let me be frank with you.

This is what Qi Hao is doing now, and this is also the reason why the coal boss hired him.

Lengthiness also means high cost.

It would be a bit of a waste if three hours were cut into ninety minutes.

What's more, he felt that the script Ye Weimin gave him could be filmed for at least five hours.

Some Hong Kong filmmakers like to do this.

The director can cut two completely different movies.

Ye Weimin was stunned for a moment. He was a professional director, but he had never thought about this issue.

We are currently doing preparatory work.

Oh shit, this guy Qi Hao is no simple guy.

From this point on, he no longer had any contempt for Qi Hao.

He said sincerely, "Don't worry about the script. I'll have them revise it and show it to you."

"By the way, who are you going to ask to play the role?" Qi Hao was not proud or complacent at all.

It seemed that the person who made Ye Weimin look at him with admiration was not him.

"You!"

When Ye Weimin heard this question, he gave the answer without hesitation.

Another reason for finding Qi Hao is to let Qi Hao play the leading role.

The four young actors are all movie stars, and they have capital behind them. They have all the money and people. "Where are the two leading actors?"

Qi Hao reminded him.

"Since you ask, you must have something you want to recommend, right?"

Ye Weimin's eyes lit up. This was exactly the problem they were worried about.

There are many comedians and many rural actors, but there are really not many comedians who can play rural boys.

He is already considering whether to look for a grassroots crosstalk and sketch actor like Xiao Shenyang.

I didn’t think Qi Hao had the ability to choose actors before.

But now he wanted to hear Qi Hao's opinion.

"How about Wang Baoqiang?" Qi Hao of course recommended his friend.

Wang Baoqiang was born around 2000, about the same age as Qi Hao, and also went to the capital to work hard when he was 16 years old.

Later, he starred in works such as "Blind Well" and "A World Without Thieves", and became truly famous with "Soldier Assault".

However, Wang Baoqiang's screen image has always been honest.

The audience likes to call him Shagen.

Only Qi Hao knew that he was not stupid, otherwise he would not be worthy of being his friend.

He seldom makes friends with people who are dumber than himself.

"Wang Baoqiang? Shagen? He acts in comedies?" Ye Weimin certainly knew Wang Baoqiang.

"A World Without Thieves" is still very popular, and the fool played by Wang Baoqiang in it is very realistic, it doesn't even look like an act.

Moreover, Wang Baoqiang also won the Golden Horse Award for Best Newcomer for "Blind Shaft".

It is also quite well-known in Hong Kong.

Well, the one in "Blind Shaft" was also stupid to a new level.

"I know him very well and I think he is a rare comedy talent who will not be buried."

Wang Baoqiang might be a little reserved and inferior in front of strangers.

If you get to know him well, he'll show his crazy side.

Especially when you drink too much.

Alas, in the past two years, both Qi Hao and he have become famous, and with a lot of commitments to attend, the opportunities for them to drink together have become fewer and fewer.

"Okay, let's give it a try."

The investors wanted to squeeze people in, what could Ye Weimin say?

Moreover, he also believed that Qi Hao would not do anything rash.

After all, this movie was invested in by Qi Hao, and Qi Hao also has to give an account to the boss behind him.

"Don't worry, I won't recommend actors I'm not familiar with. You haven't told me how much it will cost to shoot this movie." Qi Hao asked.

"You haven't told me how much you two want to be paid?"

Ye Weimin asked with a wry smile.

Both of them are considered first-line actors. Since "Soldier Assault", Wang Baoqiang has not been cheap.

At most, I'll give you a friendly price.

But even if it’s a friendly price, it would be at least one or two million.

If we calculate based on four million, then the cost of this movie might be around ten million.

For a comedy like this, Ye Weimin had no confidence that it could make 30 million at the box office.

"How about this? Wang Baoqiang and I both don't want any pay. Each of us can give us 15% of the movie share and the other 70%. Xiao Fei Yang will invest million. Can we make this movie?"

Qi Hao has been in this business for ten years and has become an expert.

What's more, in order to put himself in the role of an investor, he has recently looked through a lot of relevant data.

"Almost... Of course."

Ye Weimin's original plan was to find a more famous one and a less famous one, and then use words like "help you transform" to invite them.

The total budget is about 700 million.

Now 500 million is considered 70%, which is almost a total budget of 700 million.

Wow, that's a pretty accurate calculation.

Ye Weimin is a bit upset.

As expected, coal bosses are easy to fool, and coal bosses with professional agents are really helpless.

The two then discussed some details and finalized the cooperation plan.

After Ye Weimin left, Qi Hao synchronized the information in the QQ group.

He was just chatting with Ye Weimin, and the various solutions he came up with were definitely not something he calculated independently.

He has a small but very professional team behind him.

Among them was his assistant Yang Liu.

Yang Liu has just joined Qi Hao's studio, but she was not excluded just because she was a newcomer.

This girl's unyielding spirit won everyone's respect.

There are old foxes like Lao Tian, ​​Zhan Qi Leiden, and Yao Weihong in the group. Whether Yang Liu is genuine or scheming has long been known clearly.

She showed great talent in the calculation process of the two projects "Walk and See (The Story of Two Donkeys)" and "Lost on Journey".

Lao Tian seems to intend to let her develop in the direction of producer.

At that time, I might be asked to be his assistant.

Qi Hao suspected that this guy was attracted by her beauty.

But he had no evidence.

But this also means that he has to hire a new assistant.
