I’m Almost Losing to a Muggle

Yes, Shushan! Lin Dong was very sure.

Shushan, haha! Xu Kuai laughed twice, and then laughed twice, admiring: You really have a vision, very discerning, Shushan is the best film I have ever made.

He didn't talk about Huang Feihong, the Swordsman, or the New Dragon Inn.

Just talk about Shushan.

I did enjoy the movie.

Lin Dong thought to himself, if I can lose as much money as yours when I make this film, and lose so thoroughly, I will like it more.

But this movie costs too much money. After Xu Wei was excited, he soon became depressed.

One hundred million Hong Kong dollars in 2001, and four Hollywood special effects companies were invited to join forces. There are really few Chinese-language movies that can compare. Unfortunately, the loss is so miserable that he doesn't even have the courage to start a sequel.

Originally, he planned to make a sequel.

Shushan has a complete world view, and it is not a problem to shoot a series.

The original work was serialized in Jinmen Tianfeng Bao by Huanzhu Louzhu in 1932. By the turn of the 1940s and 1950s, there were 55 episodes and 5 million words!

What's more frightening is that this is still an unfinished novel.

Because the current situation deteriorated sharply when the author was about to continue writing, naturally he dared not write such a novel, so after five million words, countless unsolved cases and stories were left.

Wait till it finally stabilizes.

He can only write a confession.

In the end he suffered a stroke and died.

He has never been the mainstream of culture. Not many people know about this generation of masters with unconstrained imagination, and they are far inferior to those orthodox novelists.

However, it was his Shu Mountain that directly influenced the development of new martial arts novels such as Jin Yong in later generations.

It is also the originator of modern fairy tale fantasy novels.

This is definitely a figure at the level of a great master.

It is inevitable to spend money on this kind of movie. Lin Dong also agreed with him, who would do this without spending money.

The King of Wizards has personally stepped out. Of course, it is impossible to fight with millions of millions.

How much money do you plan to invest in this movie? This topic was too attractive to Xu Guai, he put Zhou Longxing aside and held on to Lin Dong.

Three or four hundred million, if it's not enough, just invest a little more.

Boss Lin's system account still has 450 million yuan, and he plans to invest all he can. If it is not enough, he will wait for Zhang Sanpang's variety show to be settled next year and use that money to continue investing in it.

Zhang Sanpang will have two variety shows next year.

Lest I die too slowly!

Cowhide! Xu Kuai walked back and forth in front of Lin Dong, feeling itchy and uncomfortable. How much he wished that the director was himself.

In fact, he also thought about restarting the Shushan series at his own expense after earning money.

But the idea is beautiful, the reality is cruel.

At his age, he doesn't have the courage to break the boat.

He has a family and a family, and he earns a lot and spends a lot. He hasn't saved much money for more than ten years.

Hey, Mr. Lin Dong, Master Xing called you over to try on clothes. The field manager over there shouted towards this side with a loudspeaker.

Wait for a while, I didn't see us chatting. On this set, only Xu Kuai dared to speak like that, and the crew on the other side shyly put away the loudspeaker, not daring to speak.

Zhou Longxing glanced this way, and continued to direct An Xiaotian to use the skateboard.

As a mermaid, he has no legs and walks slowly, so skateboarding is a good means of transportation. An Xiaotian has the basics of skateboarding, but some movements do not meet the requirements of Master Xing.

Knowing how to skateboard, know how to swim, good acting skills, and a good image, Lin Dong is finally sure that he has misunderstood this girl.

People really won this role by their own ability.

Xu Guai was still walking around like a child with ADHD.

Lin Dong couldn't figure out why Xu Guai was so excited.

Isn't it just a movie? It's still a blockbuster work. Even if the overseas copyrights sell well, it's still the result of a bottomless loss.

By the way, the American film studio that bought overseas copyrights also lost money.

Dongzi, why don't you ask me to be the producer. Xu Wei couldn't help it anymore.

I have walked up and down in front of you so many times.

Why can't you be more proactive.

It's fine, I need master to give me more advice. Lin Dong originally wanted to refuse, after all, Xu Guai is a capable director, and it is easy to destroy his plan to lose money.

But then he thought again, no one seems to have more experience than Xu Guai in how to lose money in shooting Shushan.

So far, Xu Guai has decided to join this film.

After joining, Xu Guai became even more excited, and he began to discuss casting with Lin Dong.

Who do you think will play the role of Bai Mei?

I haven't thought about the casting yet. After all, I don't have a clue about the script, so I can't make a remake of it. Lin Dong was speechless. Could it be that the emperor is not in a hurry and the eunuchs are in a hurry.

I think Liu Qingyun is pretty good. Xu Guai couldn't stop at all.

Liu Qingyun? He's the film star, you let him play a supporting role? Lin Dong imagined Liu Qingyun's chubby face, with white hair and white beard on make-up, it seemed that he really had a feeling.

How can Baimei be considered a supporting role? In fact, Ayun also likes Shushan very much. Over the years, he has asked me more than once when I will make a sequel. If I ask him to play the role, I think he can play without a salary. .

The status is evident.

Uh, if you invite him, you have to pay him as much as you want. Lin Dong thought to himself, it's not bad to invite a movie king to act, at least he should be given a lot of money.

Who will play Xuantianzong? Xu Guai began to think about the next one.

Naturally, Zheng Yijian and Gu Shaolong can no longer be used, although they will not be unable to act in the future, after all, it has only been fourteen years, and handsome men and beautiful women are old relatively slowly.

It's just that anyone who remakes the previous work will avoid the original actors as much as possible.

Xuantianzong... Lin Dong thought for a while, but he really didn't think there was a suitable candidate, if he had to choose a young one.

Oh, Dongzi, you can do it yourself. Xu Kuai looked Lin Dong up and down, wishing he could dress up Lin Dong with an outfit now and see how the effect would be.

Lin Dong finally understands why the films produced by Xu Monster have obvious Xu's style.

You are not a producer, you are more in charge than the director.

I didn't say how much I paid you.

Hey, did you make a mistake? Hurry up and put on makeup and change clothes. There are quite a lot of things to do today, and I have to go to see the venue later. Zhou Longxing really couldn't stand it anymore.

The two of you are chatting so happily, do you pay attention to me?

However, he had to restrain his violent temper on the set. After all, Xu Guai had a high status and was not much different from him. The two are now helping each other as friends.

And Lin Dong's family is Kleist's boss, and they are no worse than the two of them.

Master Xing, what do you think if Shushan is remade, how would Dongzi play Xuantianzong? Xu Kuai asked while dragging Zhou Longxing.

Him? Zhou Longxing rubbed his chin and thought about it seriously: It feels pretty good, stylish.

Then he realized: Master, do you want to remake Shushan?

No, it's not me, it's Dongzi. He plans to remake Shushan, and he will be the director himself. Xu Kuai pointed at Lin Dong.

It's so ruthless, it's too fast, you haven't filmed a movie before, and you can just get started with this kind of movie. If you have money, you don't have to be afraid and you can't afford it. Otherwise, I'll be your producer. Zhou Longxing even forgot why he ran away coming.
