Chapter 328 Shootout
In July, the filming was finally completed during the hottest time. When I returned to the capital, I was completely in a dark mood.

Before he could catch his breath, he saw Fatty Yu's face full of smirks!
Looking at the script, he asked curiously: "Anti-drugs?"

"This year's company's big production!" Fatty Yu preached: "Liu Tianwang and Gu Tianle have joined, now you are the only one missing!"

Ding Cheng looked at the script, he seemed to have seen the first one, Zha Zhahui, Liu Qingyun and Gu Tianle acted, the box office was not bad?
"This is an absolutely big scene, gun battles, speeding cars, hand-to-hand combat..."

"Everything you can think of!"

Seeing that Ding Cheng was silent, Fatty Yu smiled mysteriously and said, "Now you are also the boss, do you want to consider making a vote for fun?"

Ding Cheng curled his lips, so he was waiting here?
"When encountering such a commercial blockbuster, Liu Tianwang usually buys shares with the salary plus investment, and Gu Tianle is similar, but the investment is very small."

"Our brothers have cooperated for so many years, and you must be responsible for good things, right?"

"Why do you become your own boss?"

“Isn’t it just to make more money for investment?”

"How about it?"

Ding Cheng listened to the fat man's chatter and suddenly asked: "Is the director Qiu Litao?"

Fatty Yu was taken aback for a moment, and suddenly remembered this kid's virtue, and explained: "Absolutely old qualifications, he has worked with Liu Tianwang as a bomb disposal expert, and has a good relationship, so..."

Ding Cheng waved his hand. The script is not bad. After all, it is a series and has a box office foundation.With the addition of Liu Tianwang and Gu Tianle, the basic problem is not big.

Since investing, you should be a villain first and then a gentleman, and ask seriously: "How many shares can I get?"

"Give brother a discount on the salary, so it's 800 million, no problem?"

Talking about official matters, Fatty Yu also officially said: "The estimated investment is [-] million, with [-]% of the film salary and the rest being the cost of setting up the big scene."

"Liu Tianwang will invest an additional 1000 million for his salary. Louis Koo may invest less this time, up to 300 million. Do you think?"

Ding Cheng thought for a while, and said casually, "Then I'll vote 1000 million for fun."

"No problem, it's easy to discuss." Fatty Yu saw that the business was done, he stood up and said goodbye: "Go back to get the contract, and have dinner with the director in two days."

Send him away, let Yaozai follow up on this kind of thing, since the studio is established, the employees can't be idle, throwing some fun is a test of the water.

When I called Liu Tianwang, the other party seemed to have known the result for a long time and said with a smile: "It's not convenient for me to come forward for this kind of thing. After all, investment is risky, and Fatty Yu is best suited to do this."

"There is no shortage of money now, and it would be good to accumulate more experience. The box office of the first film is not bad, and there is not much pressure to pay back..."

"What's more, your kid's vision has always been very accurate. This time I vote together, I feel more at ease!"

"Hahaha……"

After hanging up the phone, Ding Cheng studied the script again. The reason that attracted him most was actually very simple:
Shootout and racing!

It's strange to say, after filming so many scenes, none of them can have a good time with a gun?

Wushuang doesn't count,

It's all about Brother Pony!
Gunfights are already bad in foreign countries, but domestic themes are too sensitive, and it’s hard not to cut them out after passing the trial. Hong Kong Island is not bad, and has filmed a series of classics, especially Johnnie To.

Although the plot is not new, it is also a gun battle and a speeding car. It is very lively and can be played.

Two days later, I met director Qiu Litao and said straight to the point: "I want you to play Ksitigarbha!"

Ding Cheng looked at an ugly man with shoulder-length hair, wearing a black T-shirt with the Beatles' "Let it be" printed on it. Is this guy still a rock fan?

Although they may seem unruly, Liu Tianwang and Fatty Yu’s common comments about each other are:

easy to talk
Don’t fight to the death!
A prolific director who has directed more than 80 films, including thrillers, inspirational films, comedies, police films, etc., and is well-known in the industry as "fast, beautiful and upright".

Basically, I rarely lose money.

This is also the main reason why many investors are willing to find him.

To be fair, I am still a little worried about the director in front of me!
Not to mention the early works, last year a leaker, Douban was only 5.9?

The other highest is no more than [-], is that the bomb disposal expert?
I specially recruited the work for research. It started off well, with many characters, a tight rhythm, and several story lines intersecting. It feels like a huge chess set.

Ng Chun-yu... Charmaine Sheh... Julian Cheung...

They are both good at acting, and the pace is surprisingly fast. There are a lot of characters at the beginning, and the relationship between the characters is quite complicated. However, in such an event-oriented movie, the characters are not important, because they are all Pushed by events.

The murder-epidemic-kidnapping case seems complicated, but the characters seem to be chess pieces filling up the story without much room for development.

A rather straightforward work, so straightforward that Ding Cheng felt that it was a bit too idealistic, and even said it was a secondary school.

If we really want to talk about a masterpiece, "Eight Immortals Hotel: Barbecued Pork Buns with Human Meat" is the childhood shadow of countless viewers, and it also made Huang Qiusheng the only actor to win the Best Actor Award for his performance in B-level movies.

"I like to discuss legal principles, justice, violence and other issues in movies." Qiu Litao felt the scrutiny from the Nine Gold Best Actors, and he didn't mind. Instead, he said generously: "This is the reason why I want you to play Dizang!"

"Actually, for me, this work is still a police and gangster film. The lineup was still Liu Qingyun, Zhang Jiahui, and Gu Tianle at the beginning, but later there were some problems, so I had to find other actors."

"Since Gu Tianle signed a series of contracts a long time ago, and then I approached Liu Tianwang, he was very happy to agree without saying a word, and finally thought of you."

"The character of Ksitigarbha is very complex, and I don't think this is a simple police film. From the perspective of so-called commercial movies, these three characters are a little more complicated than ordinary ones."

"If the first film is about brotherhood, then I think the ambition can be a little bigger, and I hope to explore more things."

Ding Cheng listened carefully, hoping to understand the director's creative intentions.

"I want Louis Koo to play a law enforcer who has to work within the framework of the law. The character Liu Tianwang is also doing something righteous, but he can only do it outside the legal system, so from a modern legal perspective, he What this billionaire is doing is illegal.”

"I don't know if you have paid attention to what happened in the Philippines in the past few years. The president caught drug dealers and killed them directly without trial. There was even a line of dialogue in the script that was his exact words."

"Is it too pedantic to talk about human rights with drug dealers?"

"How do you think about this concept? In the so-called civilized world, is it right or wrong to convict people without going through public discussion and trial?"

Speaking of this, he suddenly stopped and sighed: "I have been trying to dig into this problem for so many years, but there is no way. If you want more people to watch the movie, it must be a commercial movie."

"When facing more serious issues, we can only release as much as we can on the basis of not losing money. For example, I think "The Elephant Sitting on the Floor" is very interesting, but it is definitely not commercial."

"For most people, watching a movie is entertainment. People pay to buy tickets to watch it. Your pace can't be too slow, and you can't have an empty scene for 3 minutes, right?"
