The perfect future of rebirth

Zhou Xingxing didn't talk nonsense, he opened the script in front of Zhao Fusheng and started to read it.

The number of words in a script is not many, especially Zhou Xingxing has rich experience in reading scripts. When reading, he mainly focuses on the key points and reads it quickly.

After a while, Zhou Xingxing raised his head and looked at Zhao Fusheng, but his eyes were different.

Chapter 21

Zhou Xingxing is a very complicated person. When it comes to movies, he is a genius.But when talking about business, he was shrewd and annoying.

But it is undeniable that Zhou Xingxing is an excellent actor, director and even producer.

Therefore, he has a clearer understanding of this script than anyone else.

Lin Darong and his staff selected scripts from a professional perspective, but Zhou Xingxing relied on his talent for movies and his grasp of the audience's psychology.

More importantly, Zhou Xingxing himself has always had a kung fu dream.

"Your script..."

Looking at Zhao Fusheng, Zhou Xingxing remained silent for a long while.

Zhao Fusheng chuckled: "It's tailor-made for you."

He had already read the book, so he didn't need to hide it, he just told the truth.

Zhou Xingxing nodded, he could tell that the whole play, including the lines and the characters, was in line with his own style, and Zhao Fusheng even did a good job in some details.

it is good!

This is Zhou Xingxing's only comment on this script at this moment. He knows that he cannot miss this play.

Raising his head and looking at Zhao Fusheng, Zhou Xingxing showed a sincere smile on his face, and said seriously: "To be honest, this is the first time I have met him. This is in line with my inner book."

"Really?" Zhao Fusheng laughed, he knew that he had already succeeded in half.

In fact, he knew very well that as long as Zhou Xingxing read the script, it would be impossible for him to refuse himself.

As a good actor and director, as long as Zhou Xingxing is not crazy, he can tell that this movie is destined to explode at the box office. Under such circumstances, he refuses Zhao Fusheng's words unless he is out of his mind.

"Yes, to be honest, I like this script very much. It's been a long time since I met such a suitable script." Zhou Xingxing nodded, not hiding his liking for this script at all.

Zhao Fusheng laughed. For him, this is undoubtedly good news. After all, since Zhou Xingxing likes it, everyone can continue talking.

"For this book, you must be the director, and you must also be the lead actor. You can choose the actors as you like, and you can choose the length of the shooting as you like." Zhao Fusheng said lightly, looking at Zhou Xingxing.

Zhou Xingxing was stunned for a moment, and then laughed: "Such a good condition, there must be other requirements?"

He's not stupid, he came to the door in person, if it's just to deliver such a script, it seems completely unnecessary.

In other words, Zhao Fusheng must have some conditions that ordinary people dare not agree to.

"That's natural." Zhao Fusheng didn't go around in circles. Originally, this should be something that Bai Jie and Lin Darong would talk about when negotiating, but even he didn't expect that Zhou Xingxing would give Zhang Guorong face in this way and wait for him personally, so He simply brought it up directly.

"What conditions?" Zhou Xingxing asked Zhao Fusheng.

"It's very simple, I want high box office." Zhao Fusheng said calmly.

"Box office?" Zhou Xingxing frowned. It was obvious that Zhao Fusheng's words made him vaguely understand, and he didn't quite understand.

"You are the director and the lead actor. So I won't give you a penny of remuneration, but you can convert your remuneration into a share of investment." Zhao Fusheng said lightly.

The movie's budget is not low, Zhao Fusheng gave a full investment of 1000 million US dollars, which is basically most of the funds that can be used in future film and television.

"I took a look. The investment budget is 1000 million US dollars?" Zhou Xingxing nodded and asked.

"Yes." Zhao Fusheng nodded: "If you think it is not enough, you can add more."

Although Zhou Xingxing is not the kind of person who wastes investment, Zhao Fusheng also knows that if you want to make Kung Fu into a big movie, you must not be willing to spend money.

In later generations, even an ordinary movie would cost hundreds of millions of dollars, but Zhao Fusheng didn't even bother to watch what was produced.

In comparison, Zhao Fusheng still prefers Zhou Xingxing's style.

At the very least, he is serious about filming.

Of course, it doesn't mean that Zhao Fusheng will tolerate his random spending of money, after all, it's all his own money, and Zhao Fusheng will not allow it to happen in any case.

"How much do you expect from the box office?" Zhou Xingxing didn't ask how much of the box office he could take, but instead focused on how much Zhao Fusheng expected from the box office.

His principle has always been how much ability he has and how much he eats.

If Zhao Fusheng's request exceeds his ability, Zhou Xingxing will not agree no matter how much he likes the script.

"For Hong Kong Island, it's no less than 5000 million, and for the mainland, it's no less than [-] million." Zhao Fusheng calmly said something that made Zhou Xingxing almost jump up.

"Aren't you joking?" Zhou Xingxing looked at Zhao Fusheng dumbfounded. He felt that if this person hadn't been introduced by Zhang Guorong, and if he hadn't had the results of "Infernal Affairs" there before, he might have encountered a stupid line .

Chixian is the word on Hong Kong Island, which means crazy, mentally ill.

In Zhou Xingxing's view, Zhao Fusheng's performance is no different from that of a lunatic.

5000 million Hong Kong dollars plus the domestic box office of over 5000 million. In other words, Zhao Fusheng expects the global box office of this movie to be at least more than [-] million US dollars.

Although very conceited, Zhou Xingxing feels that he is not so crazy that he can't tell the difference between reality and dream.

"Why, Brother Xing, you don't have confidence in yourself?" Zhao Fusheng smiled: "Or, do you think this script is not good enough?"

The time and content are all in line with history. Zhao Fusheng doesn't believe that with Zhou Xingxing's box office appeal, this drama will be much worse than in history.

Zhou Xingxing smiled wryly, it was the first time that he was a little worried because people had full confidence in him.

In fact, the conversation has reached this point, and both of them are very clear that cooperation is inevitable, but the problem lies in the specific details.

Regarding the issue of the salary, Zhao Fusheng didn't talk much with Zhou Xingxing. On the one hand, he is not a professional, so he doesn't know how to ask Zhou Xingxing. .

In fact, it is common for top stars or directors to use their remuneration as a share of investment in the filming process.This is also one of the means to reduce the upfront investment.

To put it bluntly, this is a question of benefit distribution.

If you want the horse to run, how can you not let the horse eat grass? If you want people to do their best to film for you, you can't do it without paying real money.

Why did a certain director surnamed Wu not make the "True Colors of Heroes" series of movies, but why did he want to venture into Hollywood.

Talking about ideals is simply nonsense. To put it bluntly, it’s not because although the film "The True Colors of Heroes" is a success, as a director, he didn’t make much money at all. Even when the second film was filmed, this guy didn’t even have a red envelope. catch.
