Chapter 48 One Sentence Leads to a Murder Case
On the second day after the celebration party ended, the news that director Mai Chengliang and the original crew of "A Action" created a Lunar New Year comedy "Best Partner" made headlines on the front pages of major media magazines.
Probably because the plot of "A Action" is so sad that all the fans have watched the movie for a long time and still can't forget it. Now that Director Mai intends to bring the original crew to shoot a Lunar New Year comedy, the enthusiasm of the fans Immediately mobilized.
Although there are no public platforms such as Weibo and WeChat in this era, Huaxia Video Network, a subsidiary of Huaxia Internet Technology Co., Ltd., has sprung up under the drive of "Singing for the Future". The official page of "A Action" expressed their emotions and expressed their support, and some movie fans who are not used to communicating on the Internet simply wrote to Huaxia TV, Huaxia Emperor Entertainment, and the film company in Xiangcheng.
The snowflake-like letters and postcards almost flooded the mailrooms of Huaxia Emperor Entertainment and Xiangcheng Film Company. Many movie fans also spontaneously waited at the gates of the two companies holding the movie posters of "A Action". These photos were also captured by media reporters. After the filming was published in newspapers and magazines, people can intuitively feel the popularity of the movie "A Action".
Especially after the news that China Emperor Entertainment was about to inject capital into "Best Partner" and was invited to become the co-producer and distributor of "Best Partner", industry peers and entertainment media all asserted that China Emperor Entertainment would definitely make a film. It is the first film in the history of Chinese film with a box office of over [-] million.For a while, there are those who are envious and those who are jealous, but no matter what they think in their hearts, all colleagues have to avoid their edge at this time, and Huaxia Emperor Entertainment is in the limelight.
Star Entertainment, who has always liked to fight against Huaxia Emperor Entertainment the most, really couldn't sit still.Not long after Huaxia Emperor Entertainment announced its investment in "Best Partner", Star Entertainment also held a press conference, announcing in front of all media reporters that Star Entertainment was about to invest 3.6 million M in gold and invited more than ten top domestic players Two superstars jointly created the Chinese mythology film "Feng Shen Bang", and hired Hollywood's top special effects studio Miracle Special Effects to do post-production for the film.He directly announced that he would hit the top of China's movie box office rankings - the Hollywood blockbuster "Shipwreck" with a box office record of [-] million.
The whole world knows that when the financial crisis broke out in country M last year, China Emperor Entertainment intended to acquire Miracle Special Effects, but was obstructed by Star Entertainment, who bribed the employees of China Emperor Entertainment, cooperated internally and externally with the old Hollywood company Paimeng Pictures, and leaked the information of China Emperor Entertainment. In the end, Huaxia Emperor Entertainment failed in the acquisition, so it had to leave New Zealand and sign another little-known magic digital special effects studio.
Now that Star Entertainment is rushing to invest in the filming of "Best Partner" by China Emperor Entertainment, it suddenly broke out that it has invested a lot of money in the filming of "Feng Shen Bang". Not only did it invite more than ten most influential domestic superstars to join, it also specified the use of miracle special effects work It is not good for someone who is so eager to do the post-production of the film. The deep meaning in it will definitely make the onlookers fill in a million words directly.
Or there is no need to make up your mind at all, a fool can see that Star Entertainment definitely wants to use "Feng Shen Bang" to attack "Best Partner".
Otherwise, at the moment when "Best Partner"'s publicity target exceeded [-] million yuan, it would not have directly announced that it would hit the top of China's movie box office rankings.
This is definitely the rhythm of fighting.
The entire Huaxia entertainment circle suddenly boiled.
Star Entertainment also took advantage of the opportunity to announce that it will soon launch a large-scale talent show "Youth Young", and will broadcast the audition process on Star Video Online, hoping that audiences across the country who like to sing will actively sign up and strive to become their own idols.
Even the promotional slogan was picked up according to "Singing for the Future".
At the same time, Star Entertainment is still paying a lot of money to poach contestants who have performed well during the broadcast of "Singing for the Future", but failed to advance to the top [-] players in the country due to various reasons.I hope that these contestants can join "Youth Young" again as former contestants of "Singing for the Future", and attract their fans to expand the influence of "Youth Young".
In addition, Star Entertainment made another old mistake. At the same time as the national tour concert of "Singing for the Future", they sent agents to secretly contact the top [-] contestants in the country who have signed contracts with China Emperor Entertainment, and confuse them to quit. Star Entertainment also promised various conditions such as the company giving a solo album and holding a solo concert as soon as possible.
Under the lure of huge sums of money, some contestants could not stand the temptation. Under the temptation of Star Entertainment, they tore up their contracts and directly jumped to Star Entertainment, which opened the window for the ongoing national tour concert.
No one thought that things would develop to this extent.For a while, the media and fans were in an uproar.They all condemned the shameless actions of Star Entertainment, and even more condemned the actions of some artists who did not have the spirit of the contract.
In order to solve the mess left behind by the artist's escape, Huaxia Emperor Entertainment had to temporarily invite other singers to come over.Although these first- and second-tier singers are far more popular and powerful than the contestants of "Singing for the Future", the concert was originally held as a national tour of the talent show, so it is really nondescript.
On the other hand, Star Entertainment, which has successfully poached the top [-], actually stuffed the contestants into the promotion competition of "Youth Young" to attract popularity. In order to hit the morale of "Youth Young", China Emperor Entertainment simply announced that it will be in "Singing the Future" After the national tour concert is over, a song and dance movie "Singing Youth" will be tailored for the contestants. China Emperor Entertainment will invite actors and choreographers from Hollywood and Broadway to teach the contestants how to shoot musicals. I hope that when the time comes It can bring you a unique visual and auditory feast.
At the same time, Huaxia Emperor Entertainment simply used the slogan of recruiting actors for "Singing Youth", and once again set off a wave of auditions across the country, calling on fans who love singing, dancing and acting all over the country to sign up—with yours! Idols make a movie together.
Being able to make movies with idols, if you perform well, you may be able to sign a contract and make your debut as an artist. It is a novel experience and the temptation of becoming famous overnight. up.
For a time, there were as many fans across the country signing up as extras for "Singing Youth".Directly snatched most of the students from talent shows held by Star Entertainment and several other TV stations.
And still the best half.
This is why the fire at the city gate caused Chiyu to suffer. Star Entertainment and Huaxia Emperor Entertainment were fighting each other, but the other TV stations that were implicated in their programs couldn't stop. , I can only complain that Star Entertainment is looking for trouble for nothing, isn't it good to make a fortune in silence?Why does Mao have to stimulate such a crazy man with money and ideas!
Wei Linxuan and his son came to their senses after venting their anger on the one-acre three-point land of their "own" talent show, but they were also worried about another thing——
Star Entertainment dared to spend 1 million M gold to shoot "Fengshen Bang", and invited domestic superstars to join in the lead role, and also hired Hollywood miracle special effects to do post-production. It is clear that it is targeting "Best Partner" and wants to be the No.
What is the first and second, Huaxia Emperor Entertainment, which has always believed in making a fortune steadily and silently, doesn't value this title, but since Star Entertainment has made a move, they can't just watch Star Entertainment stomp on their heads for a show. indifferent.
But if there is an additional investment in the film... The investment cost of "Best Partner" is initially tentatively set at 3000 million, which already includes the actors' remuneration, the film's post-production special effects, and the publicity environment.Moreover, this figure takes into account the ratio of investment to return, which can be said to be very reasonable and abundant.There really isn't much room to increase your budget at will.
Besides, making a movie is not a child's play. Every step needs to be carefully considered. Even if it is an additional investment, it must be considered that the money is used wisely, and the return ratio must also be considered. This is not something that can be played with money and willfulness. .
Wei Zhanjie, whose hair was about to turn gray, simply brought all the main creative staff together for a meeting, and worked together to think about how to deal with the staring eyes of Star Entertainment and "Feng Shen Bang".
The Lunar New Year holiday is a battleground for all film companies. Although Huaxia has a large population, there are only a few people who go to the cinema to watch movies every year.There is a fixed amount of money in pockets and human time. If you look at one, you can’t look at the other. These are the laws of energy conservation, which even junior high school students understand.
Therefore, Huaxia Emperor Entertainment and "Best Partner" must not sit still and must find a way to make the audience choose "Best Partner" instead of "Fengshen Bang".
But "Fengshenbang" has the gimmick of investing [-] million M gold in it, and more than ten superstars have been invited to join the platform. How can "Best Partner" go head-to-head with "Fengshenbang"?
At this time, actor Liu Jiawei suddenly said: "There is something I have to say. Star Entertainment contacted me before, hoping that I could participate in "Fengshen Bang", but I refused, and I didn't agree."
As soon as this sentence came out, everyone was stunned.
Wang Zhen and Liang Yulin looked at each other, and said, "Actually, Star Entertainment also contacted us in private, and offered a generous revenge, but we didn't agree. After being in the circle for so long, we still need to talk about the spirit of contract."
The bigger the superstar, the more he cherishes his feathers. On the contrary, he will not be bewitched by a little profit like those young rookies who have just debuted.So even if Star Entertainment doubled the salary, Liu Jiawei and others were not tempted, but it was necessary to explain the matter clearly in front of Director Mai and China Emperor Entertainment.
Director Mai and Wei Zhanjie were taken aback for a moment, then smiled and said, "It's not surprising that Star Entertainment would do this."
"Here, I would like to thank everyone for their support and trust in "Best Partner". I, Wei Zhanjie, swear on my reputation that I will not let everyone regret today's choice."
The representative of Xiangcheng Film Company frowned, and complained in not-so-fluent Mandarin: "What is the origin of Star Entertainment? We all work in the same circle, why don't you give us any way to survive!"
Wei Linxuan chuckled, and said, "Star Entertainment's owner was originally in the hotel and jewelry business, but he has only been in the entertainment industry for a few years. He has a lot of money and a lot of money, so he will inevitably be a bit domineering."
The most important thing is that the behind-the-scenes owner of Star Entertainment had some feuds with Mr. Wei when he was young, so he always targeted Huaxia Emperor Entertainment.
The Wei family is used to acting in a steady and steady manner, even if they are in a panic, they don't want to fight for this moment.In the eyes of outsiders, he is naturally at a disadvantage everywhere, and it is inevitable that he will feel aggrieved.
Faced with everyone's worries, probably only Lu Heng didn't take it seriously.
If he hadn't personally experienced what happened in his previous life, Lu Heng would never have imagined that such an aggressive Star Entertainment would be defeated by China Emperor Entertainment within a few years, and even the company was acquired and split into a subsidiary of China Emperor Entertainment.
Lu Heng didn't know exactly what Wei Zhanjie and his son did, but Xing Entertainment obviously followed Huaxia Emperor Entertainment step by step, no matter what new tricks Huaxia Emperor Entertainment came up with, they could follow behind and drink soup, but in the end There are holes everywhere and the capital chain is broken.
Although Lu Heng doesn't have much talent for business, he always feels that it's not just the failure of Star Entertainment's investment.
As for the movie "Feng Shen Bang"...
Lu Heng blinked his eyes. Although there are big investments, special effects, big scenes and big names gathered, every frame of the movie is so perfect that it can be used as a poster, but it is a pity that the flaws in the script are really heinous, and the plot is procrastinated. Pretending to be profound and incomprehensible, it is clearly a Chinese myth "Feng Shen Bang", but every line tries to imitate Shakespeare's arias, so that after the film is released, whether it is a professional film critic or an unprofessional audience, they can only give one. "Nondescript" evaluation.
Some good people once summarized the whole film as "a murder caused by a woman", pointing out that the main creative team of "Feng Shen Bang" wanted to portray this story as the Eastern version of the "Trojan War". , everyone did not buy this account in the end.
The most important thing is that Zhao Miao, who plays the leading actor Jiang Ziya in it, abandoned the previous image of being lively, active and funny, and wanted to portray a wise and sage who can be regarded as full of strategies and deep love.Although the willingness to transform is good, but I don't know if it's because of too much pressure or other reasons. As the leading actor, Zhao Miao is like a hard-working actor under the background of the proficient acting skills of several other film kings and actresses. Children who imitate adults, their acting skills are clumsy, their lines are rigid, and Jiang Ziya's long hair parted in the middle and his casual style in green shirt are not very suitable for Zhao Miao...
All in all, a disaster.
If Lu Heng remembers correctly, the box office of "Feng Shen Bang" in his previous life barely exceeded [-] million, and the overseas box office was less than [-] million, and even one-fifth of the investment was not recovered, which is really a pity.
The worst thing was that in order to invest in Zhao Miao's "Fengshen Bang", Star Entertainment also offended his elder brother Yue Sennan who had stolen a lot of money.Later, in order to appease Yue Sennan's anger, he had to spend an extra 6000 million yuan to make a tailor-made martial arts movie for Yue Sennan.Even so, Yue Sennan was still furious, and as a result, the movie's box office reputation was not very good after its release, which further confirmed Yue Sennan's reputation as a box office poison.
Yue Sennan switched to Inton in a fit of anger.Star Entertainment lost his wife and lost his army. The Star Video Network, which was originally built with a lot of money, was also reported and shut down because of piracy and copyright infringement and uploading yinhui videos.
Star Entertainment suddenly fell into an embarrassing situation where the capital chain was broken, and even the stock price of the owner behind it plummeted. Endless star entertainment.
Zhao Miao was worried about the bankruptcy of the company caused by the loss of "Feng Shen Bang". At first, she wanted to follow the company, but later Star Entertainment was acquired by China Emperor Entertainment. up.
Recalling the mess in his previous life, Lu Heng sighed silently. He never thought of changing the big situation. He just hoped that after China Emperor Entertainment acquired Star Entertainment, he would be able to persuade Sun Shuliang and Zhao Miao to stay in China Emperor Entertainment. Instead of stepping into the muddy quagmire of Inton.
While muttering to himself, his shoulders suddenly sank.
When Lu Heng came back to his senses, he saw Wei Linxuan's magnified handsome face approaching him.
"What are you thinking about so preoccupied?"
"Ah, it's nothing, I'll listen to everyone." Lu Heng replied subconsciously.
Wei Linxuan almost didn't laugh: "I still listen to everyone. The meeting is over, everyone is going to eat! Hurry up!"
It was only then that Lu Heng realized that the meeting room that was originally overcrowded was deserted at some point, and only Wei Linxuan was left standing beside him.
Lu Heng smiled shyly, and then heard Wei Linxuan say helplessly: "How can you say hello, kid! You slipped away from class and held meetings, and you are so devoted to acting—"
Before Wei Linxuan finished joking, Lu Heng bumped his elbow on Wei Linxuan's chest, Wei Linxuan snorted, and had to raise his hands in surrender: "Okay, okay, okay, I won't say anymore, your fist is hard on you!" rational."
During lunch, President Wei Da directly took people to the VIP bag of Huaxia Hotel and ordered a sumptuous table.
Even during the meal, everyone didn't stop, still thinking about how to deal with the offensive of "Feng Shen Bang".
Lu Heng, who had been sneaking away all morning, saw that everyone was worried and didn't know what to eat, so he couldn't help but said: "Actually, we don't have to worry too much. Not every director can become Smith and control a crew with [-] million M gold. Star Entertainment is like this Ambitious, maybe Waterloo."
"...But we can't pin our hopes on the enemy's lack of strength. We have to find a way to increase our own weight." Mai Chengliang said with a frown.
But a gimmick that can compete with [-] million M gold is not so easy to find.
Lu Heng looked at everyone's gloomy and gloomy thoughts without any clue, and said casually: "Then let's make a big scene, and we can ask the army for help."
As soon as a word came out, everyone at the table swiped to look over.
Lu Heng was taken aback by the gloomy look in his eyes.
An idea flashed in Director Mai Chengliang's mind, as if a bolt of lightning flashed across the night sky, but the speed was too fast for him to catch it in time.
"Tell me what you think." Director Mai Chengliang looked at Lu Heng encouragingly.
"It's just imitating the model of Hollywood blockbusters. Isn't it just big scenes and special effects? We can also start from this aspect. For example, when the two male protagonists in "Best Partner" perform tasks, they make the scene bigger. Before It's a car chase, can we have a plane chase, Hollywood blockbusters blow up the White House, then can we blow up the Forbidden City or something..."
What Lu Heng was talking about were all the big scenes that were commonplace in his previous life, but to the ears of everyone more than ten years ago, it seemed like an unbelievable fantasy. His ideas were wild, but there were some merits.
Everyone couldn't help but looked at each other, Director Mai Chengliang murmured: "If you really play like this, you will be very angry."
As for the plane chase or something, it seems that apart from those movies that specialize in flying themes, no spy-themed movie has such a battle scene.
The more director Mai Chengliang thinks about it, the more he feels more enjoyable. He is like a child who has just been exposed to a new toy, his eyes are shining with excitement.
The others looked at each other in blank dismay, and in the end, by coincidence, their eyes fell on the representatives of Huaxia Emperor Entertainment and Xiangcheng Film Company.
Alexander, the representative of Fragrant City, was sweating, and repeatedly said: "I can't make the decision, and our company doesn't have the strength. No one does it. Even Hollywood blockbusters don't do it. too--"
"That's it!" Wei Zhanjie made a final decision with sparkling eyes. He turned his head to look at Mai Chengliang and Wen Jie at the dinner table, and said, "I think we need to make a big change to the script. Make sure every The plot can stimulate the audience's adrenaline, isn't it just a gunfight blockbuster! Why can't we do what Hollywood can do? Why can't we do what Hollywood can't do? We need money and actors, There is no problem with special effects. As for the army, we at Huaxia Emperor Entertainment can find a way to negotiate, as long as the script is good and we can shoot big scenes, we can definitely create China's Hollywood blockbuster!"
Director Mai Chengliang was overwhelmed by Wei Zhanjie's words, and even the investor who paid the money said he didn't care. How could he, a director, be cowardly.
When he slapped his thigh, Mai Chengliang almost didn't issue a military order and said: "Boss, don't worry, I, Mai Chengliang, have been making movies for more than 20 years, and I have been shooting gunfight movies for half my life. If you say something else genre, I dare not guarantee it, but if it is a shootout movie, even if a big Hollywood director stands in front of me, I will not be convinced."
"You entrust me to shoot this movie. Wenjie and I will design the script very well and shoot the scenes very beautifully. If the movie is not exciting after it comes out, I, Mai Chengliang, will sell it to China Emperor Entertainment for the rest of my life. I don't need money to direct a play for China Emperor Entertainment."
The others looked at each other in blank dismay, they really didn't expect that Mai Chengliang would call the boss right now, and spend the rest of his life on it.
Lu Heng, who was inadvertently involved in a major event, blinked his eyes guilty, and silently took a sip of water from his teacup to calm his shock.
Get used to talking... I really didn't mean it... Don't look for me if you lose money... I've already sold myself QAQ
Probably because the plot of "A Action" is so sad that all the fans have watched the movie for a long time and still can't forget it. Now that Director Mai intends to bring the original crew to shoot a Lunar New Year comedy, the enthusiasm of the fans Immediately mobilized.
Although there are no public platforms such as Weibo and WeChat in this era, Huaxia Video Network, a subsidiary of Huaxia Internet Technology Co., Ltd., has sprung up under the drive of "Singing for the Future". The official page of "A Action" expressed their emotions and expressed their support, and some movie fans who are not used to communicating on the Internet simply wrote to Huaxia TV, Huaxia Emperor Entertainment, and the film company in Xiangcheng.
The snowflake-like letters and postcards almost flooded the mailrooms of Huaxia Emperor Entertainment and Xiangcheng Film Company. Many movie fans also spontaneously waited at the gates of the two companies holding the movie posters of "A Action". These photos were also captured by media reporters. After the filming was published in newspapers and magazines, people can intuitively feel the popularity of the movie "A Action".
Especially after the news that China Emperor Entertainment was about to inject capital into "Best Partner" and was invited to become the co-producer and distributor of "Best Partner", industry peers and entertainment media all asserted that China Emperor Entertainment would definitely make a film.

The whole world knows that when the financial crisis broke out in country M last year, China Emperor Entertainment intended to acquire Miracle Special Effects, but was obstructed by Star Entertainment, who bribed the employees of China Emperor Entertainment, cooperated internally and externally with the old Hollywood company Paimeng Pictures, and leaked the information of China Emperor Entertainment.

This is definitely the rhythm of fighting.
The entire Huaxia entertainment circle suddenly boiled.
Star Entertainment also took advantage of the opportunity to announce that it will soon launch a large-scale talent show "Youth Young", and will broadcast the audition process on Star Video Online, hoping that audiences across the country who like to sing will actively sign up and strive to become their own idols.
Even the promotional slogan was picked up according to "Singing for the Future".
At the same time, Star Entertainment is still paying a lot of money to poach contestants who have performed well during the broadcast of "Singing for the Future", but failed to advance to the top [-] players in the country due to various reasons.I hope that these contestants can join "Youth Young" again as former contestants of "Singing for the Future", and attract their fans to expand the influence of "Youth Young".

Some good people once summarized the whole film as "a murder caused by a woman", pointing out that the main creative team of "Feng Shen Bang" wanted to portray this story as the Eastern version of the "Trojan War". , everyone did not buy this account in the end.
The most important thing is that Zhao Miao, who plays the leading actor Jiang Ziya in it, abandoned the previous image of being lively, active and funny, and wanted to portray a wise and sage who can be regarded as full of strategies and deep love.Although the willingness to transform is good, but I don't know if it's because of too much pressure or other reasons. As the leading actor, Zhao Miao is like a hard-working actor under the background of the proficient acting skills of several other film kings and actresses. Children who imitate adults, their acting skills are clumsy, their lines are rigid, and Jiang Ziya's long hair parted in the middle and his casual style in green shirt are not very suitable for Zhao Miao...
All in all, a disaster.
If Lu Heng remembers correctly, the box office of "Feng Shen Bang" in his previous life barely exceeded [-] million, and the overseas box office was less than [-] million, and even one-fifth of the investment was not recovered, which is really a pity.
The worst thing was that in order to invest in Zhao Miao's "Fengshen Bang", Star Entertainment also offended his elder brother Yue Sennan who had stolen a lot of money.Later, in order to appease Yue Sennan's anger, he had to spend an extra 6000 million yuan to make a tailor-made martial arts movie for Yue Sennan.Even so, Yue Sennan was still furious, and as a result, the movie's box office reputation was not very good after its release, which further confirmed Yue Sennan's reputation as a box office poison.
Yue Sennan switched to Inton in a fit of anger.Star Entertainment lost his wife and lost his army. The Star Video Network, which was originally built with a lot of money, was also reported and shut down because of piracy and copyright infringement and uploading yinhui videos.
Star Entertainment suddenly fell into an embarrassing situation where the capital chain was broken, and even the stock price of the owner behind it plummeted. Endless star entertainment.
Zhao Miao was worried about the bankruptcy of the company caused by the loss of "Feng Shen Bang". At first, she wanted to follow the company, but later Star Entertainment was acquired by China Emperor Entertainment. up.
Recalling the mess in his previous life, Lu Heng sighed silently. He never thought of changing the big situation. He just hoped that after China Emperor Entertainment acquired Star Entertainment, he would be able to persuade Sun Shuliang and Zhao Miao to stay in China Emperor Entertainment. Instead of stepping into the muddy quagmire of Inton.
While muttering to himself, his shoulders suddenly sank.
When Lu Heng came back to his senses, he saw Wei Linxuan's magnified handsome face approaching him.
"What are you thinking about so preoccupied?"
"Ah, it's nothing, I'll listen to everyone." Lu Heng replied subconsciously.
Wei Linxuan almost didn't laugh: "I still listen to everyone. The meeting is over, everyone is going to eat! Hurry up!"
It was only then that Lu Heng realized that the meeting room that was originally overcrowded was deserted at some point, and only Wei Linxuan was left standing beside him.
Lu Heng smiled shyly, and then heard Wei Linxuan say helplessly: "How can you say hello, kid! You slipped away from class and held meetings, and you are so devoted to acting—"
Before Wei Linxuan finished joking, Lu Heng bumped his elbow on Wei Linxuan's chest, Wei Linxuan snorted, and had to raise his hands in surrender: "Okay, okay, okay, I won't say anymore, your fist is hard on you!" rational."
During lunch, President Wei Da directly took people to the VIP bag of Huaxia Hotel and ordered a sumptuous table.
Even during the meal, everyone didn't stop, still thinking about how to deal with the offensive of "Feng Shen Bang".
Lu Heng, who had been sneaking away all morning, saw that everyone was worried and didn't know what to eat, so he couldn't help but said: "Actually, we don't have to worry too much. Not every director can become Smith and control a crew with [-] million M gold. Star Entertainment is like this Ambitious, maybe Waterloo."
"...But we can't pin our hopes on the enemy's lack of strength. We have to find a way to increase our own weight." Mai Chengliang said with a frown.
But a gimmick that can compete with [-] million M gold is not so easy to find.
Lu Heng looked at everyone's gloomy and gloomy thoughts without any clue, and said casually: "Then let's make a big scene, and we can ask the army for help."
As soon as a word came out, everyone at the table swiped to look over.
Lu Heng was taken aback by the gloomy look in his eyes.
An idea flashed in Director Mai Chengliang's mind, as if a bolt of lightning flashed across the night sky, but the speed was too fast for him to catch it in time.
"Tell me what you think." Director Mai Chengliang looked at Lu Heng encouragingly.
"It's just imitating the model of Hollywood blockbusters. Isn't it just big scenes and special effects? We can also start from this aspect. For example, when the two male protagonists in "Best Partner" perform tasks, they make the scene bigger. Before It's a car chase, can we have a plane chase, Hollywood blockbusters blow up the White House, then can we blow up the Forbidden City or something..."
What Lu Heng was talking about were all the big scenes that were commonplace in his previous life, but to the ears of everyone more than ten years ago, it seemed like an unbelievable fantasy. His ideas were wild, but there were some merits.
Everyone couldn't help but looked at each other, Director Mai Chengliang murmured: "If you really play like this, you will be very angry."
As for the plane chase or something, it seems that apart from those movies that specialize in flying themes, no spy-themed movie has such a battle scene.
The more director Mai Chengliang thinks about it, the more he feels more enjoyable. He is like a child who has just been exposed to a new toy, his eyes are shining with excitement.
The others looked at each other in blank dismay, and in the end, by coincidence, their eyes fell on the representatives of Huaxia Emperor Entertainment and Xiangcheng Film Company.
Alexander, the representative of Fragrant City, was sweating, and repeatedly said: "I can't make the decision, and our company doesn't have the strength. No one does it. Even Hollywood blockbusters don't do it. too--"
"That's it!" Wei Zhanjie made a final decision with sparkling eyes. He turned his head to look at Mai Chengliang and Wen Jie at the dinner table, and said, "I think we need to make a big change to the script. Make sure every The plot can stimulate the audience's adrenaline, isn't it just a gunfight blockbuster! Why can't we do what Hollywood can do? Why can't we do what Hollywood can't do? We need money and actors, There is no problem with special effects. As for the army, we at Huaxia Emperor Entertainment can find a way to negotiate, as long as the script is good and we can shoot big scenes, we can definitely create China's Hollywood blockbuster!"
Director Mai Chengliang was overwhelmed by Wei Zhanjie's words, and even the investor who paid the money said he didn't care. How could he, a director, be cowardly.
When he slapped his thigh, Mai Chengliang almost didn't issue a military order and said: "Boss, don't worry, I, Mai Chengliang, have been making movies for more than 20 years, and I have been shooting gunfight movies for half my life. If you say something else genre, I dare not guarantee it, but if it is a shootout movie, even if a big Hollywood director stands in front of me, I will not be convinced."
"You entrust me to shoot this movie. Wenjie and I will design the script very well and shoot the scenes very beautifully. If the movie is not exciting after it comes out, I, Mai Chengliang, will sell it to China Emperor Entertainment for the rest of my life. I don't need money to direct a play for China Emperor Entertainment."
The others looked at each other in blank dismay, they really didn't expect that Mai Chengliang would call the boss right now, and spend the rest of his life on it.
Lu Heng, who was inadvertently involved in a major event, blinked his eyes guilty, and silently took a sip of water from his teacup to calm his shock.
Get used to talking... I really didn't mean it... Don't look for me if you lose money... I've already sold myself QAQ
