Rebirth of the Entertainment Master

For everyone's praise, although Li Shangming was very humble, he was not without complacency, and felt that his acting skills should be regarded as the best of the younger generation.

Unexpectedly, Xiao Yunhai's vivid interpretation of Zhou Yu today let him know what a real genius is.

The most important thing is that he is only 24 years old, much younger than himself, it is impossible to say that he will not be shocked in his heart.

Wu Zixu smiled and said, "Shang Ming, your acting skills are indeed very good, so you don't need to belittle yourself. This guy Yun Hai is a pervert, so don't even try to compare yourself to him."

Wang Guoan nodded and said, "That's right. In the world of film, I have never seen an actor with such acting skills at his age. To say that he is a genius is a bit wronged."

Xiao Yunhai said: "The two teachers said that, I am really flattered. Although I know that I am great, you better not say it in front of me, it's too embarrassing."

"Push."

"Hahaha."

Hearing Xiao Yunhai's words, everyone present couldn't help laughing.

After taking a few mouthfuls of food, Wu Zixu suddenly put down his chopsticks and asked: "Yunhai, you are the best director of the Oscar. After shooting this morning, do you think there is any problem with our crew? Or, compared with your crew , in what areas do you need to improve?"

As one of the most famous directors in China, Wu Zixu didn't think it was shameful to ask Xiao Yunhai such a question.

This "Battle of the Red Cliff" is Wu Zixu's first film to hit the world film scene. Wu Zixu doesn't have the slightest confidence in whether he can become famous like Jiao Fangtao's "Xiao Cui".

Worrying about gains and losses, he brought it up on the wine table.

Although it was a bit abrupt, everyone didn't feel that there was anything wrong with it, because Xiao Yunhai did have the qualifications to comment.

More than a dozen pairs of eyes at the dinner table looked at Xiao Yunhai, all wanting to hear the opinion of this Oscar-winning director.

Xiao Yunhai said: "Director Wu, since you have reached this point in your words, then I know everything you want to say. If there is anything inappropriate, please don't take it to heart."

Wu Zixu rolled his eyes, and said angrily, "You don't need to vaccinate me, my old man is not so narrow-minded."

Xiao Yunhai smiled and said: "Okay, then I have nothing to say. I think you are a little lacking in grandeur. Including the props used on the set, the armor and weapons of the protagonists, the costumes of the extras, etc., I feel a little unsatisfactory .I know that you must be concerned about money, but if you want to make a truly epic war movie, you can't save money."

Wang Guoan said: "Old Wu is not ignorant of this point, and even made a serious budget. To achieve the effect you want, you need to spend at least [-] million more. When Director Wu handed over the list to the producer, they After just looking at it twice, I refused without hesitation. I only gave a two-word answer, no money."

Wu Zixu sighed deeply, and said with a wry smile: "Yunhai, you have always invested in your movies by yourself, and you have the final say on all matters, and you don't need to account to anyone for anything you do. Therefore, You don't know the difficulties we directors have encountered. Speaking of which, I am somewhat famous in the circle. In the eyes of many artists, I should belong to the top layer of the pyramid. But the actual situation is not at all. The pyramid The top ones are always the investors."

"In the eyes of these funders, all the directors and actors are nothing more than a tool for them to make money. It is almost impossible to get money out of them. Let alone a hundred million, even one million is not enough. It needs to go through a serious meeting and research with investors.”

"Currently, there are only two and a half directors in Huaxia that can make investors respond to their needs. One is you, the other is the national teacher Mo Kaixuan, and the other half is Jiao Fangtao."

Li Shangming asked in puzzlement: "Director Wu, why is director Jiao Fangtao half of the director?"

Wu Zixu said: "Because he hasn't fully proved his worth."

Although Jiao Fangtao won a very high box office with "Xiao Cui", and even broke into the top [-] highest-grossing movies in the world, his ability has not fully gained the trust of those sponsors.

If he's going to make a second film, there's definitely no problem with funding.As long as it doesn't go too far, the investors won't hold him back in the slightest, after all, the results of "Xiao Cui" are there.

But whether he can still receive this treatment in the future depends on the box office of his second film.If he can continue to sell well, then his future films are estimated to attract all film and television investors.On the contrary, if the box office fails, Jiao Fangtao's investment unlimited treatment will disappear immediately.

Unlike Mo Kaixuan and Xiao Yunhai.

Mo Kaixuan made it through the success of dozens of movies, while Xiao Yunhai proved his strength to everyone with several high-rated TV series and five high-grossing movies.

Therefore, even if the two of them fail two or three times, it will not affect investors' confidence in them.

Although Wu Zixu and Hong Tianchou are strong directors and famous enough, they are not invincible. They have failed several times before, and they have never achieved jaw-dropping box office in the world, so they cannot Get the treatment of unlimited investment.

Of course, if Wu Zixu's two "Battle of the Red Cliff" can become popular all over the world and earn a total box office of more than 40 billion US dollars, then he will also be half of the box office.

Other directors also have this opportunity, the key depends on the performance.

Wu Zixu asked: "Yunhai, if it were you, what would you do?"

Without even thinking about it, Xiao Yunhai said decisively: "It's very simple, two words remake."

Xiao Yunhai's words silenced everyone.

Reshooting is easy to say, but there are so many things involved.The first is the funds. All the scenes filmed in the past month or so have been cancelled, which is equivalent to throwing [-] million into the water.The second is the issue of the actors' schedule. The shooting time of "Battle of the Red Cliff" was five months, and now one and a half months have passed. If we start over, the actors may not have time.

There are also various other problems, which are also very troublesome.

Therefore, after listening to Xiao Yunhai's words, everyone admired Xiao Yunhai's grandeur, but no one dared to answer these words.

After a while, Wu Zixu shook his head and smiled wryly, "It's too difficult."

Xiao Yunhai said: "It's just a new stove. I can advance the previous [-] million yuan, and remake unqualified weapons, armor, clothing, props, etc. The biggest problem is the actor. However, as long as everyone here agrees, I will I believe that the other actors should not take our face off. Next, as long as we improve the shooting efficiency, we will be able to catch up in a short time. After all, the scenes have already been done, and everyone has acted them again. War For the scene, I can go directly to the military area to invite the army. Then hire a large number of drama managers and props, and divide them into two teams. You lead one team to be responsible for filming, and I lead the other team to be responsible for the preparations before shooting. With such a multi-pronged approach, I want to be in three It's not impossible to complete all the scenes within a month."

Everyone took a breath when they heard Xiao Yunhai's words, and thought to themselves at the same time: "It's such a great handwriting, such a boldness, no wonder you can become a world-class director."

You know, although Xiao Yunhai's words are simple, the funds alone will cost at least 5000 million more.Moreover, he needed to work tirelessly for Wu Zixu. With Xiao Yunhai's current status, it was really admirable for him to be able to do this.

Chapter 824 Remake

Wu Zixu took a sip of tea, looked at Xiao Yunhai with gratitude, and asked, "What do you think of Yunhai's opinion?"

Zhuge Liang Qin Tao, who has filmed a lot of scenes, first expressed his opinion: "I strongly support Yunhai's suggestion. As long as I can shoot a real classic, I am willing to retake it even ten times."

Wang Guoan nodded and said: "At our level, what we need most is not money, but works that can be worshiped by future generations. I agree."

Sun Yanjun, Qin Tao and others also expressed their views one after another.

With the support of this group of movie kings and old actors, as long as Wu Zixu nods, then this matter will be considered settled.

After everyone finished speaking, they cast their eyes on Wu Zixu.

Wu Zixu patted the table and said vigorously: "Okay, since everyone agrees, then we will fight. Yunhai, this time may cost you too much."

Xiao Yunhai said with a smile: "Any problem that can be solved by money is not a problem. The extra 20 million yuan may bring me a billion or even [-] billion profits. Let me talk to Mr. Xue, believe me He'll agree too."

Wang Guoan laughed loudly and said, "Then what are you waiting for, let's toast the success of "Battle of the Red Cliff"."

"cheers."

In this way, under Xiao Yunhai's suggestion, the entire crew of "Battle of the Red Cliff" recruited another batch of crew members, and invited many famous costume designers and prop masters in the industry to customize clothes, weapons, armors for the characters... .. With Xiao Yunhai's huge financial support, Wu Zixu has done everything he should do to the extreme.

Taking advantage of the lack of roles, Xiao Yunhai took the production team and props team to other places to advance the set, even if it cost twice as much, he would not hesitate to do so.

Under such an operation regardless of cost, all the preparatory work was completed in just half a month.

When Qin Tao was drinking, he sighed: "It's so crazy, this is the craziest crew I've ever seen."

Li Shangming nodded, and said with admiration: "For this movie, Mr. Xiao really treated money like paper. In just half a month, it cost 6000 yuan just to remake the props and costumes." Wanhua Xiacoin is really admirable, and this is the real attitude of making movies."

Not only the leading actors, but also other low-level personnel of the crew have a deeper feeling.
