Middle Age: A Leisurely Life in the Entertainment Industry.

Chapter 487 Stop "Evil in the East and Poison in the West" and change to "East and West"

Everyone drove back to school in a donkey cart, and then drove back to the hotel in the city. Li Wan showed the entire account of the entire crew to the two big bosses.

"Give it to them."

Jin Yunfeng pointed to the female secretary who had been following him.

Zhou Fanming also asked to see the finished shots, so Li Wan had no choice but to call Yu Dongqing to ask for his permission.

The two bosses looked at the shots that had been taken with great interest in the room, and sighed while watching.

Beautiful filming is beautiful, this plot
Although they haven't been edited yet, both of them are bigwigs in the industry, but they can both see the difference.

"The box office will definitely not be very good." Zhou Fanming said.

It turned out that he still had a little fantasy, but now he is completely cold.

However, he was not as anxious as Zhou Fanming, after all, he only invested 2000 million.

At this time, two female secretaries knocked on the door and came in, reporting the accounts of the crew they watched: In addition to the fixed remuneration for the actors, post-production and film promotion and other items, the cost of the entire crew was less than one-third of the budget.

"Does that mean that there is a possibility that you won't be able to spend all the money in the future?" Zhou Fanming asked.

"Yes, there is a balance."

"Mr. Zhou, how much does it cost to shoot a movie in a place where birds don't shit? It seems that Yu Dongqing will lose money, and he is working hard to reduce costs." Jin Yunfeng said with a smile.

"I hope he spends all his money and makes the film more beautiful." Zhou Fanming sighed deeply.

In the evening, the two bosses hosted a banquet for all the staff members of the film crew as condolences. After the meal, Yu Dongqing and Li Wan accompanied the two bosses to wander around ZW downtown.

Although Zhongwei is not big, the core area is still quite lively, and the various mutton flavors unique to the Northwest are even more mouth-watering.

Of course, the minds of the bosses are not here, especially Zhou Fanming. It is really uncomfortable to think that a movie with an investment of 6000 million Hong Kong dollars will know that it will lose money before it is made.

"Mr. Zhou, what's the matter? Why doesn't your face look good? Did you catch a cold because you're not used to the climate?" Yu Dongqing asked with concern.

"Hey, my heart hurts."

Zhou Fanming and Yu Dongqing were also old acquaintances, and after hearing Yu Dongqing's concern, their expressions were even more distressed.

"Thinking that the company is about to lose tens of millions, I feel uncomfortable."

Yu Dongqing didn't believe this nonsense.

In other words, it’s not that you Huanyu Film and Television have never made bad movies. Isn’t it normal for you to lose tens of millions?
Of course, Yu Dongqing also understood his mood at the moment.

But I expect a lot from myself.

Thinking of this, Yu Dongqing smiled: "How about we remake the one with the highest box office?"

"Retake?"

"High box office?"

Yu Dongqing's words immediately attracted everyone's attention.

"Didn't Li Wan tell you that the money would never run out? Then let's make another one." Yu Dongqing said.

"Continue to shoot martial arts?" Zhou Fanming asked.

"Of course, if I want to shoot, I can only shoot martial arts."

"Same as this "East, West and West Poison"?" Li Wan asked.

"If you shoot another one like this one and lose tens of millions, then you will forgive me?" Yu Dongqing said with a smile: "Of course it's different."

"Holly, tell me quickly, what's the difference? Is there a script?"

Yu Dongqing had no choice but to speak.

Princess Jinlun had an affair with her cousin Ouyang Feng. In order to occupy the country, they poisoned the king to death, but they did not find the Jade Seal of Chuanguo.

After learning that Yuxi was in the hands of the third princess who went to Jiugong Mountain to find her master for help, Ouyang Feng tried to snatch it but failed.The bewildered national teacher succumbs to the coercion and finds out the specific whereabouts of the three princesses. Ouyang Feng catches up with the golden boots of the rocket, but accidentally falls off a Wang Chongyang who has just left the customs.

The dying Wang Chongyang begged the third princess who happened to be passing by to find his junior brother Zhou Botong to take revenge on his behalf.The three princesses who fled to Jiugong Mountain invited their younger brother Huang Yaoshi and younger sister to help, together with Hong Qi who came to look for his cousin, and Duan Zhixing who could become a fairy only by finding a true person, a life-and-death battle with Ouyang Feng is ready...

Zhou Fanming was dumbfounded.

It's also evil, why does this story sound so funny?

It turned out that what Yu Dongqing was talking about was another martial arts movie in that time and space: "The Legend of the Condor Heroes: The East Makes the West".

This filming started at the same time as "Evil, West Poison", but the director was replaced by Liu Zhenwei, who was the director of "A Chinese Journey to the West".

"Holly, your plot is very funny."

"It's a funny movie, just be lively." Yu Dongqing explained.

Jin Yufeng's eyes immediately lit up when he heard this.

Martial arts and comedy, these are the two highlights of the current box office hits!

In the end, Yu Dongqing took up both in this script.

This immediately aroused his interest.

"Holly, tell me in detail, how can you make a joke?" Jin Yunfeng asked hastily.

Yu Dongqing had no choice but to speak up.

West Pork's Sausage Mouth
Prince Duan’s daughter disguises herself as a man.

Hidden weapons in boots run faster than sweaty BMWs;

The tactics used in fighting are flirtatious swords and affectionate knives;

The Nine Yin Scriptures were actually carved on the chamber pots of monsters...

The more Li Wan listened, the more absurd he felt, but the more Zhou Fanming listened, the happier he became. Isn't this the nonsense of our Xiangjiang staff.

interesting.

"Holly, let's go, let's go to the hotel. Is there a ready-made script? Let me take a look."

He could hardly wait.

The next morning, the actors and staff of the crew were suddenly notified: Starting today, there will be a three-day holiday. Everyone can take a good rest and go shopping nearby.

Shu Wenrong and Huang Jiahui smiled wryly, and Liang Xiyan pouted even more.

I have been staying here for almost three months, most of the time I was resting, what else is there to do nearby?

It was cold outside, and Shapotou had already been there.

Let's play mahjong instead.

So the sound of chess and cards often came from the chess and card room of the hotel.

"I heard that Director Yu is writing a new script." Shu Wenrong said while touching mahjong.

"New script? Could it be that all previous filmings are invalid?!" Liang Xiyan was surprised when she heard that.

"No, it's another play."

Why did you stop filming and suddenly write a script?
Everyone looked at Liu Yi.

The only mainlander in the four-player mahjong, and he has a good personal relationship with Yu Dongqing.

"Don't look at me, I don't know." Liu Yi looked at everyone's appearance and replied: "I guess it has something to do with the two big guys who came here."

After Liu Yi finished speaking, he touched a card and suddenly smiled:

"Hey, I'm sorry, it's self-touching again."

While several people were playing mahjong, Zhou Fanming and Jin Yunfeng were in Yu Dongqing's room looking at the script they had just finished writing, along with Li Wan of course.

After reading it, Zhou Fanming heaved a long sigh.

"Hey, with such a script and this group of stars, why don't you worry about it not selling well at the box office?"

Yu Dongqing sat on the sofa and drank Longjing tea slowly.

Yes, big sale.

In the original time and space, the box office of "East and West" was as high as 2300 million, but the box office of "East and West", which took three years, was only 900 million.

That was in the early 90s of last century.

Of course, the main reason for the box office success of this movie is that Leslie Cheung, Tony Leung, Maggie Cheung, Lin Qingxia and other superstars rely on their superb acting skills.

And now, there are Shu Wenrong, Liang Xiyan, Liu Yi, the Golden Horse and Golden Rooster actor joining, including Mingmei, whose image and temperament are no worse than Brigitte Lin.

Can also shoot well.

"Okay, let's shoot according to this script, and strive to be a Lunar New Year film for this year's Spring Festival! Mr. Li, please inform other investors immediately and explain our plan in detail."

The two bigwigs made a decision immediately.

"Okay, I'll contact them early tomorrow morning." Li Wan said.

"President Jin and I will discuss with them about the salaries of the main actors in the new drama!" Zhou Fanming was full of confidence.

Filming of the movie "Evil in the East and Poison in the West" is temporarily suspended, and it will be filmed in "East and West"!
After three days of rest, the crew members were about to start work when they suddenly received such news.
