Siheyuan: Pioneer in anti-corruption, fighting against evil!

He Yuzhu picked up the teacup and replied casually: "Have some tea."

Han Ye paused, unsure whether this was an order to leave, but he had to stay. "You make me nervous."

He said helplessly.

"I warned you,"

He Yuzhu continued slowly, "Didn't I tell you a long time ago that Wu Baige lost money making war movies for MGM?"

Mr. Han was speechless for a moment: "Do you mean to warn me?"

He Yuzhu confirmed: "War and blockbusters, isn't this the theme of the movie Red Cliff?"

"Are you saying that Red Cliff is a romance theme?"

Mr. Han was puzzled.

He Yuzhu smiled at him and said meaningfully, "Do you have to have directors and big names come one after another? Their salaries are really not a small amount."

"Are you going to change the crew?"

Mr. Han asked.

"Have the contracts been signed?"

He Yuzhu asked.

"It's signed!"

Mr. Han stuttered, looking very unhappy.

He Yuzhu couldn't stand it any longer when he heard this: "That's enough! Go drink your tea."

Then he paused and added, "Are you still looking for someone?"

Mr. Han was not convinced and wanted to insist: "Why don't you let me show you the script?"

Zhou Yi couldn't hold back any longer and said, "Third Master, what you are doing is wrong.

Your plan should be almost ready before you come to my brother-in-law for help.

What do you want him to do, change the script, change the director, or raise funds? "

Han Ye admitted: "I'm just worried and hope Mr. He can give me some professional advice."

Zhou Yi spread his hands: "It's too late now. Letting outsiders intervene will cause disputes. Even if your brother-in-law doesn't take it seriously, it won't help much."

"He already has his own business, is there any need for him to wade into this muddy water?"

Mr. Han smiled bitterly, and He Yuzhu also sighed: "Bring the script over so I can take a look."

Mr. Han immediately opened his briefcase and handed out a thick script: "This is the preliminary outline."

He Yuzhu took the script and opened it. Although it was just an outline, the content was so vast that he could not finish reading it alone.

His eyes quickly swept over the cast list, the plot summary and the main threads, like a whirlwind sweeping over fallen leaves.

When Mr. Han saw this scene, his expression twitched slightly: "You are too fast."

After reading the content, He Yuzhu unexpectedly discovered that the core theme was actually peace, and the heroine also had a lot of scenes. "So many female leads?"

he asked.

"Oh!" Han Ye nodded and asked, "Is there a problem?"

"It's a mess to me. Who wrote this script?" He Yuzhu looked at the script and felt that it was very similar to the idea of ​​the ATV screenwriter he had seen before.

"Yes!" Han Ye felt quite uneasy and asked, "Isn't the problem very big?"

"You'd better take the script and leave!" He Yuzhu said bluntly, "This script is completely ruined, it's a mess."

"Is it really that bad?"

Mr. Han asked doubtfully.

"It's rotten! Even a woman can join the army. The protagonist seems to have become Xiao Qiao. Is there anything more absurd than this?" He Yuzhu's tone was filled with obvious anger.

"How shabby is this plot design? Can't you see that, Third Master?"

"I..." Mr. Han didn't know how to respond.

"I can't do anything about it. You think about it yourself." He Yuzhu threw down the script and kept silent.

After getting the script, Mr. Han was worried. In his opinion, the script was a hot potato.

He Yuzhu actually looked down on this script so much, you can imagine how poor it is?

In fact, the plot about ancient soldiers entering the military camp seems absurd, not to mention that the theme of the play does not seem to fit in from the beginning.

Mr. Han didn't think there was anything wrong with it at first.

If you think about it carefully, there seems to be a reasonable explanation for why the well-known domestic screenwriter refused to cooperate!

"Uh~Does the entire script have to be replaced?" Han Ye asked thoughtfully.

“Haven’t you signed the contract?” He Yuzhu said with a smile, “Can it be changed?”

Mr. Han is in trouble at the moment, and any major changes to the script will inevitably result in considerable financial losses.

At this time, He Yuzhu continued to point out: "You haven't figured out the purpose of filming this drama, right? Is it purely for profit, or to compete for various awards?"

"Of course I hope to promote the development of the domestic film market." Han Ye's point of view is very clear, "I want to start the craze of the blockbuster era, and I must succeed."

"But apart from this one, the responses to your other films aren't very good!" He Yuzhu shook his head and sighed, "In my opinion, your goal is not to develop the domestic film market at all, but to go for the foreign box office and awards."

"Otherwise, I wouldn't use such a script."

“This could be an epic film, maybe even a trilogy, like The Lord of the Rings.”

“You’ve seen The Lord of the Rings, right?”

"Of course I have seen it, it's a great film!" Han Ye was a little excited, "I was expecting the same."

"Please don't think about it. How can such a script be realized?" He Yuzhu smiled bitterly, questioning how the investor could agree to adopt such a script. "It was originally intended for the international market."

Mr. Han was a little embarrassed. No matter how eloquently he spoke, he was ultimately defeated by other people's insights.

"Forget it, just go back!" He Yuzhu interrupted the conversation. It was obvious that the other party had no intention of changing his mind.

Faced with this situation, Mr. Han had no choice but to get up and leave silently.

Recalling this movie, it cost a huge amount of RMB 640 million to produce, but the global box office was only over 1.5 billion, and because of copyright transactions in foreign markets, they almost did not get any dividend income.

The box office situation is complicated and He Yuzhu didn’t know it in his previous life, and there is no need to pay too much attention to it now.

At this time, Zhou Yi interrupted: "Brother, is the script really that bad?"

"It sucks."

He Yuzhu sighed, "It is aimed at non-domestic audiences and has no value to our country's audiences."

"I have never entered my films into competitions. Those film festival awards are only for increasing the director's appearance rate and the actor's reputation. They are of no benefit to me as a producer."

“I can release it worldwide directly without having to rely on awards to drive distribution.”

“Once a film company has a reputation, audiences tend to choose to watch it. For them, the director and actors are not the deciding factors.”

"After years of accumulation, Lion Films has become a well-known brand, and we can save a lot of money on publicity."

"Look at Wu Baige's play, it is neither timely nor realistic.

The goal of the Three Kingdoms was to unify the world, but it is hard to understand why the series revolves around peace.

Zhou Yi was speechless after hearing this, and then He Yuzhu added: "Can you believe that a woman can sneak into a military camp, or even an enemy camp?"

"......" Although Zhou Yi was not a history major, he knew the basic knowledge of ancient military regulations. He was incredulous and said, "Isn't this too exaggerated?"

“In fact, Mr. Han is more concerned about the distribution aspect. He knows that he has loopholes and will definitely not make back his investment in China.

He is trying to get some commission from me under the guise of helping me distribute the film. "He Yuzhu smiled slightly at this time: "The so-called development of the film market is ultimately to make a profit!"

“Can’t he see the truth?”

"Even though he has good acting skills now, he has no intention of handing the film over to me. If that's the case, would it still be his project?" Zhou Yi suddenly realized, "Even I can't see through this!"

“He looks like he’s in a dilemma, but is he?”

“If he really wanted to cooperate, he should have tried to get my investment from the beginning and handed over the leadership to me.

Now that everything is over, it’s too late.”

He Yuzhu smiled and said, "You don't understand the twists and turns inside, so naturally you can't see through his mind."

“He didn’t want me to be the driving force behind the film, and that limited the bold moves he could make with his directorial choices.”

"Even though I warned him, he still chose Wu Baige in the end. What I just said was to show that I saw it clearly."

"He wasn't acting just now. He was really uneasy, and his thoughts were exposed to me."

Zhou Yi had not anticipated such a situation before.

...

Uncle Han went directly to He Garden and sighed as soon as he got in the car. He didn't expect that the other party didn't mention the issue of film editing throughout the whole process.

His plan was seen through, and now he just hoped that domestic audiences would accept the film... and hoped that the overseas market would sell more.

Ordinary people may not be able to perceive the thoughts behind this, but He Yuzhu is an insider in the film industry after all, so how could he not be so insightful?

However, in the country, its reputation may be compromised.

After all, everyone knows the story of the Battle of Red Cliffs, and the current revised version may be difficult for domestic audiences to accept.

(The complexity of the entertainment industry is far beyond imagination, and Mr. Han San will not be easily controlled by others.

His goal from the beginning was not to invite He Yuzhu to join the creative team, but to focus more on the distribution work.

Zhou Yi didn't notice it because he didn't know enough about the industry, but He Yuzhu could see through it all because he was at the top of the industry.

His knowledge and experience enable him to understand the other party's intentions.

He Yuzhu is not a wise man, but his success in business is due to two things: the system's advantage over ingredients and his amazing achievements in catering skills.

He Yuzhu glanced at the system display and found that although he was already seventy years old, his physical condition was surprisingly good.

His sexual function is still intact. Looking at Wen Li, he seems to be in his early forties, with jet-black hair without a trace of silver.

He has given people a feeling of maturity and stability since he was young, but at this moment, because his appearance has changed so little, people can't tell his actual age.

It seems that his life span is expected to reach over a hundred years. The food in the system obviously has special effects, but it must be used continuously to be effective.
