Huayu has been doing one good deed a day since 2001

Chapter 130 How long will it take you to lose 6 million?

After a while.

Li Wenyu met with Wang Jing, Xu Ke and Wu Yusen, whose hair was slightly graying, in the big office, and waited for Azhi to act as secretary and serve tea.

Old Li smiled and started chatting with Wang Jing.

He really didn't care much about the progress of the preparatory work. He had already produced the storyboard script, and with Wang Jing's skills as a senior worker, he could control it.

After a brief chat, he accepted the file bag sent by Wang Jing.

Li Wenyu then looked at Xu Ke, "Director Xu, I've heard about your purpose, but friendship is friendship, and business is business."

"With Director Wu's ability to consistently produce Hollywood films like Face/Off, Black Jack, Mission: Impossible 2, and Windtalkers, this is a huge fluctuation."

"We make money and lose money, and it's our turn."

"If Director Wu wants to get investment from Our Times when he returns to the Chinese film industry, I will have to see a script that is over 70% complete before I consider whether to invest."

"Regardless of Director Wu's artistic pursuits, based on my experience in script research, I can at least guess whether it will be well-received by the market. Only if the script is good will I invest."

Xu Ke nodded happily after hearing this. "Of course I should. Whatever Mr. Li said is as it should be."

"At this stage, no one in the world would object to Mr. Li's judgment of the script."

"But Arsen has a new movie, 'Memory Rift,' which will be released around the same time as your film, 'Extreme Job,' on December 12th. This will also be a benchmark for responsiveness."

Xu Ke was just acting as a middleman, helping with the introduction.

You said that he and Old Wu had a falling out a long time ago because of the filming of A Better Tomorrow 2 and A Better Tomorrow?
This is a breakup in a business project collaboration.

In private, the two are not enemies.

Wu Yusen's face turned grim for a few seconds before he nodded awkwardly. "Yes, I do have an idea. I'll definitely ask Mr. Li to review it once I finish the script."

He also thought that with his fame, he could beg for a certain amount of money just by asking.

At worst, Li Wenyu would be polite, praise and support, even if the other party just talked but did not do anything. If the other party just talked but did not do anything, Old Wu would dare to go out and say that Director Li was very optimistic about his project.

Then they can use the company's reputation to support each other commercially and beg for alms from China Film Group and other companies.

I didn't expect that Li Wenyu had no emotional intelligence and didn't even bother to flatter each other.

Even though he makes money and loses money with every film he makes, he is still a big director who has established himself in Hollywood and has achieved huge international success.

He believes that his return to the Chinese-language film industry is a dimensionality reduction attack.

But Wu Yusen also knew that the situation was different. Lao Li was not only the most powerful new director, but also a wealthy player.

He took a sip of tea and explained, "Mr. Li, let's invite Ah Fa, Ah Wei, Jin Chengwu and other popular actors with good acting skills."

"Add the most popular actresses to interpret the Three Kingdoms classics, and the chances of making money will definitely be high. If the script is well crafted and a hit series is created, Chinese-language films can be introduced to the world."

"Overall, I'm definitely more than 90% sure of making money."

Li Wenyu was amused and waved his hand, "I don't want to listen to so much nonsense. Let's read the script first and talk about it after it's approved."

Without a script, everything is just empty talk and empty promises.

Xu Ke also felt embarrassed. He could clearly sense that Li Wenyu disliked Old Wu.

When Lao Li first debuted? Forget it, I don’t want to think about it too much.

Xu Ke helped to smooth things over and said a lot of good things, repeatedly promising that he would apply again after the script was finished, and only then did he take Wu Yusen away.

Wang Jing, who was listening to all this, smiled and said, "Mr. Li, you don't seem to be optimistic about Director Wu?"

Li Wenyu was shocked. "He could make Windtalkers look like that. It cost $1.15 million to make, and only earned $3000 million in global box office revenue, a loss of million RMB."

"What do you want me to do to keep an eye on him?"

"The success of Mission: Impossible 2 is more due to Tom Cruise. Even if you were the director, the box office would not be bad."

"Mission Impossible is like a Jackie Chan movie. Is the director important? Tom Cruise is not only the lead actor but also the producer!"

"Romance of the Three Kingdoms is a large-scale war theme like Windtalkers."

"Brother Jing, let me ask you this: if the big boss gave you 600 million, how long would it take you to lose it all? And would the boss still like you after you lost it all?"

Zhang Bozhi, who had been working as a tea girl, also exclaimed, "Yeah, why are you optimistic? Because he helped his boss lose 6 million yuan?"

"Brother Jing, the cost of your optimism is a bit high."

Wang Jing coughed loudly.

The truth is unpleasant and really hurts!

On the other hand, what about the success of Mission: Impossible 2? Really? Was Wu the biggest factor in its success? Obviously, it was Tang.

The boss gave him 600 million and lost it all? If it were ten years ago, he would have been slaughtered to fill the sea.

Li Wenyu smiled and said, "I'm not doubting anything. I feel Director Wu is good at filming stories about brotherhood, small-scale duels between two heroes, and contemporary comedies."

"He doesn't have the cultural background for war and historical dramas like the Romance of the Three Kingdoms."

"Director Xu Ke's Huang Feihong series is a grand and majestic film, drawing parallels to the American past, but it also uses the image of a heroic character to glimpse the whole era."

"The Three Kingdoms is a grand narrative that conquers the world. Few people in the industry can film it well, myself included."

Wang Jing and Zhang Bozhi are both here.

These words were bound to get out.

When talking to John Woo, it's best to stick to a formulaic style, lest the criticism be too harsh and others accuse him of being too arrogant. These genuine comments, expressed privately, are more unvarnished.

Li Wenyu took the initiative to open a bottle of red wine and said with a smile as he poured the wine, "Brother Jing, you should also do a good job in Dark Glory, even though it's only 16 episodes, which is a bit short."

"But I feel like this one is going to be a hit against Omi. This kind of values ​​and style of seeking revenge without compromising oneself can ignite a lot of empathy."

"As for Xiao Ming's Star You, it's because European and American audiences have seen too much interaction between aliens and earthlings, so the gimmick is a bit lacking. Dark Glory is the theme that can also be very eye-catching in the United States."

"If Ah Zhi becomes famous in the United States, she will truly be a global alternative actress."

Wang Jing was also excited by this encouragement.

He also enjoyed watching the plot of Dark Glory.

Is it true that if you are patient for a while, you will have peace of mind; if you take a step back, you will have a broader horizon? No, most of the time, people prefer the refreshing feeling of avenging a grudge to the end.

Dark Glory is a story about a bullied lower-class woman who relies on her own wisdom and means to try to take revenge on her rich second-generation and beautiful bullies.

When being bullied severely, the rich second generation, white, rich and beautiful women can use their background and influence to suppress the bullied people with countless means, including paying money to bribe the parents of the bullied people.

In all aspects!

Am I alone? Should I give in or fight to the end?
Zhang Bozhi laughed, "If Brother Yu becomes famous in the US first, wouldn't he be even more famous than Fatty Bing?"

Now they just participate in beauty pageants again and again, and have left an impression on some European and American netizens.

Li Wenyu was speechless, "..."

He grabbed his phone and said, "Xiao Bi, please ask all the candidates for the Dark Glory creative team to report to the company. Director Wang and I will begin the interviews."

After hanging up the phone, Lao Li smiled and explained to Wang Jing, "The filming of Blue Jasmine and managing the development of Weibo have delayed my time, but I have selected backup actors for the main roles one by one."

"Let's catch up on the interviews together, try to get it done today, and start filming as soon as possible."

Fei Jing immediately displayed his high emotional intelligence, saying it was no big deal, and Azhi was no different. She was very excited to be an interviewer.

A moment later, while they were still drinking and chatting, Old Li heard his secretary report that Bi Zhifei had arrived with several candidates for the second female role.

This is Lao Bi who will marry a beautiful, rich and successful woman in the future and have a great father-in-law. With the support of his father-in-law, he filmed "Pure Mind, Chasing Dreams in the Entertainment Industry".

Bi Zhifei is from the class of 02 at Beijing Film Academy, the same class as Liu Yifei and Jiang Jianshi.

Of course, he applied for a graduate program in acting.

This is a rare flower in the entertainment industry.

But no matter how weird it was, he just used the power of his future big boss father-in-law to make a terrible movie.

He is completely different from Lu Chuan, John Woo and others.

Lao Bi is another clear stream in the entertainment industry and has not committed many sins.

When Bi Zhifei's master's teacher did some work to help develop the campus network, he said that he wanted Bi to come to Shi Guang to learn.

This acting master's degree wants to be a director?
Even though Li Wenyu had a face full of questions and exclamation marks, he casually arranged the small matter. As long as he didn't give Lao Bi financial support to become a director, there would be no trouble.

[Dark Glory] The main creative team was screening the actors, and Bi Zhifei was acting as an errand assistant in issuing audition invitations.

This is a role model for test-takers in small towns in China! !

After undergraduate study, I studied for a master's degree at Beijing Film Academy, and then went to Peking University for a doctorate. My teacher was the dean of a secondary college at Peking University.

My wife is fair, rich and beautiful.

For an ordinary person to reach this point can be called a super counterattack!

When Lao Bi brought his men in, Zhang Bozhi immediately looked at the second female leads, Re Yizha, Yang Xi, Guo Zhenni, Jiang Qinqin, and Huang Xiaolei.

She calmed down after taking a quick look at Azhi. None of them posed a threat to her.

Li Wenyu stared at Huang Xiaolei for a few seconds, "I emphasize again, the second female lead in this project is a very evil one, and you will be cast if you win."

"That's like Deric Wan in "The Unforgiven" and Feng Yuanzheng in "Don't Talk to Strangers."

"It will create an extremely sinful image in the eyes of audiences across the country and around the world."

“It will be tied to this label.”

With the help of Dark Glory, Qiao Mei made a comeback in her middle age and became the undisputed top female star in South Korea, and her global popularity soared.

The second female lead? She's the bully, and her reputation for evil has skyrocketed.

The women nodded repeatedly after hearing these words.

Li Wenyu spoke a few more words to Wang Jing before signaling them to each lead a performance item and go out to prepare, and the first one to be called would perform in 10 minutes.

After the five girls or sisters left.

Old Li looked at Bi Zhifei curiously, "Is Xiaolei still as determined as before?"

Huang Xiaolei, a classmate from Class 99 and one of the water army coaches, can take any supporting role in any movie project in Hong Kong and Macau Bay and join the crew at will.

She mentored Liu Shishi for more than a year, and a supporting role was reserved for her in the Goblin project.

When Shi Guang first announced the contract and mentioned the second female lead's evil, she signed up to give it a try. Li Wenyu didn't object, but just pointed out some things as he did just now, asking her to think carefully about it.

Lao Bi nodded hurriedly, "Senior Sister Huang said that she's thought it through. Establishing a truly memorable and famous character is more important than starring in multiple routine and streamlined films."

Not only Huang Xiaolei, but Yang Xi also came in in this manner.

Jiang Qinqin? Fresh off her role in Storm Riders, she amassed a legion of fans. Last year, she collaborated with Ruby Lin, portraying a shrew.

When it comes to breaking through in her acting career, Jiang Qinqin is very hardworking and bold in her choices.

Is the second female lead in this time's collaboration with China Star comparable to Feng Yuanzheng's screen image in "Don't Talk to Strangers"? To the outside world, one sentence explains it very clearly.

Rei Zhayuan was also admitted to the Beijing Film Academy in 04.

Now I am still receiving one-on-one training from Shi Guang, and it has been two years!
Zhang Bozhi continued to pour a glass of wine for Lao Li and said with a smile, "Brother Yu, that Yang Yu was also the first one you made famous through a beauty pageant. She has played many ordinary supporting roles."

"Is it because it's so difficult to become famous? Do you have to emulate Deric Wan, Crow Brother, and the four evil men?"

"But with their looks, if they become famous, they can learn from Deric Wan to play decent actresses after a few years. They are much more talented than the four villains."

Li Wenyu laughed, "Who can compare with you? You've already become a beauty since your debut."

Ah Zhi quickly lowered her voice and said, "Another bath is fine too, why don't you try it?"

Fei Jing, who was sitting not far away, coughed hurriedly and said, "I'm going out to smoke."

Lao Li covered his forehead and said, "Stop messing around and have a serious interview."

After rounds of interviews, Bi Zhifei finally sent this batch away an hour later. Lao Li glanced at Fei Jing, who exclaimed, "Jiang Qinqin and Yang Ni? The others are still too young."

Yang Yuyuan's original trajectory was that a few months later he joined the Feijing crew to shoot the film and killed Jiang Yuyan, who was only left with the title.

Old Li also nodded, "The bullies are a team. Azhi's heroine is all the oppressed people in the world uniting to fight back and seek revenge."

"From campus to workplace, from workplace to family, those who have been bullied have joined forces to send all their enemies to the hell they deserve."

"The second female lead, Yang Xi, and the two spirited girls from the bullying team are Huang Xiaolei and Guo Zhenni. If Huang Xiaolei is not available, Re Yizha will be given the role."

Bi Zhifei quickly took notes and waited for email or text message notifications.

Next was the interview for the leading male role in Dark Glory!

To the heroine, this male protagonist is a warm-hearted man with a little milk dog image, but his personality is also very complicated. His father was once the director of a hospital in Hong Kong Island and has strong surgical skills. He is a good man.

One day, the hospital received a serious criminal who had raped women, committed violence, and killed people. He urgently needed surgery, but other doctors in the hospital were too lazy to save him.

Only the protagonist's father saved him out of his professional ethics as a doctor, but then he was killed by the felon!
His mother was also the surgeon in charge.

After being imprisoned, the prisoners all show off to the male protagonist.

The male protagonist is a descendant of a victim who was oppressed and bullied because of his kindness? He finally chose to use the scalpel as a tool of revenge.

Not only helps the heroine to take revenge.

He also closed his private cosmetic surgery clinic which had a good business and went to work as a prison doctor.

Prison doctors, especially good doctors, will not charge any consultation fees when they meet prisoners seeking medical treatment, or they will help the prisoners' relatives outside to improve their living conditions.

He had only one target, the felon who had killed his father.

The more hellish life in prison the better!
Dark Glory is so cool that it is suitable for students and ordinary office workers, from teachers to various assistants, doctors, nannies, etc.

All the oppressed people in life are connected by a long line!

Together, under the impetus of the male and female protagonists, they take revenge on the evil in life.

The second female lead is a beautiful and wealthy girl since childhood. She married the boss of a real estate group and is a super respectable wealthy wife and celebrity host.

She killed someone and was able to call out to the chief of a police station in Hong Kong Island, who was the second generation of a chaebol, and led his men to destroy the body.

In a world where the rich can do whatever they want, the lowest class sticks together.
