After hanging up the phone, Zhou Zhifu turned around and said to Chen Dong, "It's an appointment, we will meet tomorrow morning, don't worry, Lao Qian has a lot of contacts in the film and television industry, Zhang Ren, Wu Jiangguo, Zhao Yibo and many other famous domestic directors , are all his students, and Wang Sen, whom he recommended, I know. He graduated No.01 in the 1 director department. A certain reputation and a very capable director.”

Chen Dong nodded, and said, "Okay, Director Zhou, as long as he is genuine, we will choose him."

There are funds, scripts, and film directors are easy to find. There are no films to shoot in China, and there are a lot of capable directors. In many cases, the producer who holds the money bag in the crew is the boss, and the director has to listen to the producer. Of course, Zhang Yimou and Chen Yuge are exceptions, because their reputation alone is a guarantee of box office, and they have the confidence to shun investors.

As in some novels, the protagonist took the funds and the script to find an unknown director to make a movie. The director pretended to be a bully, flirted with the protagonist, made this request, made that request, and said the script was unreasonable. To change it, and to say that the actors are all chosen by him, this is pure nonsense.

Wang Sen, in his 40s, is in his prime. He has made some award-winning art films, as well as some small and medium-budget films. The box office is good, but his fame has never been popular.

Compared with Zhao Yibo in the same class and Wu Jiangguo in the younger class, the two have already become famous internationally. He is still a second-rate director, and his reputation is far behind his classmates who have become first-rate directors and international big directors. He is not inferior to Zhao Yibo and Wu Jiangguo in basic knowledge. You must know that he graduated No.01 in the 1 class. Zhao Yibo in the same class only took No.3. The director experience is not bad, including literary films more than ten years ago. , more than a dozen commercial films were made.

After thinking about it, the reason why he hasn't become popular is that he is short of a famous work.

I just received a call from my teacher about a movie with a shooting budget of 450W. The teacher recommended him to direct. Of course, before that, he needs to obtain the approval of investors.

He was very grateful for the teacher's recommendation, and without further ado, he agreed to come down to meet the investor the next day.

He hasn't accepted a play for more than half a year, and in one or two years, maybe many people will forget about it. Therefore, he cherishes this opportunity very much and will try his best to persuade investors to give him the lead.

The next day, Chen Dong met Wang Sen in Director Zhou's office.

Beard Raza, his face is a little pale, he looks a little downcast, but he is in good spirits, his eyes are bright, and his face is very confident. Generally, this kind of person is very capable, but lacks opportunities. As long as someone gives him a chance, this kind of person will It will soar into the sky.

This is the first image of Chen Dong, later the international director Wang Sen.

Chen Dong stood up and greeted Wang Sen, "Director Wang, hello."

Wang Sen asked suspiciously, "You are."

Chen Dong said, "My name is Chen Dong, a student of Teacher Zhou. I am the investor, screenwriter, and producer of "Crazy Stone"."

Chen Dong wanted to make "Crazy Stone". In the original time and space, "Crazy Stone" is a film that earns big profits with a small cost. The filming cost of more than 200 million created a box office of more than 3000 million. It is a special project of the National Film Development Special Fund Management Committee Funds get 5/100, business tax 3.3/100, theaters (theater chains) get 57/100~62/100, producers (distributors) get 38/100~43/100, and the distributors get 5/100 35. In the end, the producer got only about 100/1000, which means more than [-] million yuan, DVD copyright, and a little bit of advertising.

.

Taking into account the reason of currency depreciation, "Crazy Stone" filmed in 06 cost more than 200 million yuan to shoot, with a box office of more than 3000 million. The cost, the box office of more than 2014 million, plus the income of DVD copyright, video tapes, advertisements, etc., Chen Dong can finally get about 400 million.

"Mr. Chen, hello." Wang Sen stretched out his hand, shook hands with Chen Dong, and said.

He was too young, and he subconsciously thought that the other party was just for fun, or a rich second generation who wanted to make his girlfriend famous in the play.

"Director Wang, do you want to read a script first?" Chen Dong said.

The script of "Crazy Stone" has been registered with the China Film Authors Association, so there is no need to worry about others rejecting his invitation after reading the script and instead investing in plagiarizing his script themselves.

Wang Sen sat opposite Chen Dong, nodded, took the script from Chen Dong, and read the "Crazy Stone" script intently.

And Chen Dong picked up the tea cup, took a sip of tea carefully, and quietly looked at the scenery outside the window.

Wang Sen read the title of the film, "Crazy Stone". Why does it have such a strange name, Stone?crazy?Stone-induced madness?
A title aroused his curiosity, and Wang Sen continued to turn over the script.

The story begins with a piece of valuable jade found in a side store...

"Toilet? Emerald?"

Wang Sen raised his eyebrows as soon as he read the first line of the script. Apparently this "weird" setting aroused his interest.

"The story begins with a piece of valuable jadeite found in the toilet. A handicraft factory in Hong Kong (Taipei) that was on the verge of bankruptcy found a piece of priceless jadeite when it overturned the old factory building. An exhibition was held here for economic benefits. Hope Sell ​​for sky-high prices to improve factory conditions.

Unexpectedly, the international thief Mike and the local gang of thieves headed by Brother Dao all set their sights on Jade, and approached Jade step by step through their different "professional skills".While dismantling each other, they have to face the biggest obstacle of the security captain of the handicraft factory together. After a series of open and secret battles and the exchange of real and fake jade, the two gangs of thieves were completely humorous... "

After reading the script, Wang Sen knew that this was a classic movie script. If he could make this movie well,... But first, he persuaded the person in front of him to let him direct the movie, so Wang Sen thought about it. After a while, he persuaded Chen Dong, "This is a very good script, with multiple stories and multiple clues, and there is always a main line running through it, many but not chaotic, each clue echoes back and forth, and can be justified, like a The tributaries of the small rivers gradually merged into the big river and finally broke out together. I believe that as long as the filming is done well, it will definitely become a classic.

I am confident that I can make this movie well for two reasons. First, I have more than ten years of directing experience. I am also good at the hilarious style and the themes of ordinary people. If you watch my filming You know the two movies "Grand Thief Little Dragon" and "Urban Village".Second, I have been filming for more than ten years, and I have a wide network of contacts in the film and television industry. I can quickly find actors who are suitable for the roles in the movie, and I have some connections when the movie is released and shown in theaters. I can contribute to "Crazy Stone" There are some favorable conditions for distribution and screening.
