The bard joins the entertainment industry

When the two of them started reading the script, Chen Shuo sent a text message to Liu Yifei, telling them not to wait for him.

I will start from here tomorrow and meet with her to deal with the integration of the program.

At this time, it was already past twelve o'clock. Looking at the attitudes of the two of them, Chen Shuo knew that there would be a lot of chatting tonight.

He called for some late-night snacks and invited the two of them to chat while eating.

This place is expensive for its own sake. Whenever a customer wants it, they can get it.

This alone can make many people willing to pay.

"What do you think of the script, Director Zhang?"

Zhang Yimou had already made a decision in his mind and immediately stopped making excuses and said: "I agreed, but I will only supervise the production of "Jian Yu Jiang Hu"."

If Liu Dehua knows how to settle accounts, he will naturally do the same.

To be honest, just one producer can get such a large share, which is enough.

If it were "House of Flying Daggers", based on this share, he could get 15 million US dollars, a tenfold difference.

As long as he takes this opportunity to open his mouth, he can ask for an additional share of the remuneration.

What moved him the most was what Chen Shuo said about the film's total revenue share.

You know, even American film directors rarely get this share.

Generally, it is a 5%-10% net revenue share, which is the share after deducting the cost of the film maker.

If the film studio doesn't make any money, then the money doesn't need to be divided.

Chen Shuo's share of the total income of the film crew, even if it is credit, must be paid.

For example, if the box office is only 10 million, the film studio can get 40%, which is 4 million.

Even if the film producer loses all his pants, he will still have to share the four million dollars with him.

Of course, the most important thing is the script of "Sword Rain", which suits his heart.

Like "Gemini Thieves", no matter how much money you give him, he won't touch it.

He still has artistic pursuits.

Chen Shuo said happily: "In this case, our company will film "Jian Yu Jiang Hu".

If Director Zhang is not in a hurry to return to the crew, I will ask someone to draft the contract tomorrow, we will sign the contract directly, and then pay one-third of the salary first.

If we fail to produce the film as scheduled, one-third of the upfront remuneration will be regarded as compensation to Director Zhang.

Of course, I think what Director Zhang and we value is not only the more than one million yuan, but also the desire to produce a good work. "

Zhang Yimou shook his head and smiled: "Don't tell me, this million is not a small amount to me.

Don't look at it. When I was filming, I gave you millions or tens of millions, but that money was not mine, but the investors'. "

Chen Shuo waved his hand and said: "This is not easy. If Director Zhang is short of money at any time, just tell me directly."

Hearing this, Zhang Yimou joked: "Okay, when I am down and out, I will come directly to you, hahaha..."

Chen Shuo and Liu Dehua also laughed and did not believe that Zhang Yimou would ever be down.

With his status and fame, he might be in temporary embarrassment, but he really wouldn't be so depressed that he would be short of money.

Chen Shuo did not mention the investment from Zhang Weiping and Xing Picture now, but planned to wait until he signed the contract with Zhang Yimou.

"Brother Hua, what do you think?" After settling the matter with Zhang Yimou, he turned his attention to Liu Dehua.

Andy Lau picked up the script of "Gemini Thieves" and said: "Since you are not going to produce this drama, how about giving it to me?

Then, I also invested 2 million in "Jian Yu Jiang Hu". "

For Zhang Yimou, the 10% share given by Chen Shuo was enough for him to give it a try.

However, it was precisely because Chen Shuo gave Zhang Yimou such high conditions that Liu Dehua was no longer interested in "Jian Yu Jiang Hu".

Because if he really takes on this drama, his final income may not be as high as his salary.

This "Gemini Thieves" is different. Although he has no intention of starring in it, if he takes the lead in finding someone to invest in the production, it will definitely bring considerable profits to his company.

Of course, he has not given up his intention to invest in "Jian Yu Jiang Hu".

With Zhang Yimou here, at least the 2 million investment will not be wasted.

Chen Shuo nodded and said: "Investment is easy to talk about. This script can also be given to Brother Hua, but how exactly will it be done? How about we wait for Brother Hua to send someone to discuss it later?

The main reason is that Master Jiang Daohai attaches great importance to this script and we need to seek his opinion. "

Liu Dehua looked at the signature on the script and found that Jiang Daohai's name was indeed there. His eyes lit up and he said: "In this case, let me add another condition, how about asking Master Jiang to be the action director?"

"That's of course the best. Brother Hua can have someone discuss it with Master Jiang."

After deciding on the destination of the two scripts, Chen Shuo and the other three relaxed, ate supper and talked about the scripts.

It wasn't until after three o'clock that I took a short rest.

Early the next morning, Chen Shuo called the company and asked someone to bring the drafted contract.

The conditions promised to Zhang Yimou were naturally agreed upon with Jiang Xuerou and Zhou Ping in advance.

I just took this opportunity to let Chen Shuo and Zhang Yimou mention it.

After getting the contract, Zhang Yimou also consulted a lawyer to read it over, and then began to negotiate the terms.

In fact, the contract is very simple. After spelling out the responsibilities and rights of both parties, there are not many differences.

Soon, Zhang Yimou signed the contract, and Chen Shuo also signed and stamped it in the name of the company.

Things were done a little hastily, but the result was quite satisfactory to both parties.

Chen Shuo and Zhang Yimou shook hands and said, "Director Zhang, we will happily cooperate again in the future."

"Happy cooperation!" Zhang Yimou shook his hand gently.

The two of them had decided, and Chen Shuo would leave the rest to the company's professionals.

Things like calming down Zhang Weiping's anger, talking about investment, and then starting to form a crew and find other people to invest.

When talking about the script of "Gemini Thieves" with Andy Lau, Chen Shuo stopped asking too much.

After he handed over the Qing Province Choir to He Zhengyang, and together with Liu Yifei, he introduced the Yun Province Dance Troupe to Wang Yabin and asked her and Liu Xiaoli to help the dance troupe re-choreograph the dance.

I focused half of my energy on practice and half on the final performance.

Of course, after the premiere, "A World Without Thieves" was officially released two days later.

This time, only Chen Shuo and Liu Dehua attended the premiere, while Liu Yifei, Liu Xiaoli, Shu Chang, Chen Rui and others went to the auditorium to watch by themselves.

It's free to get the tickets from Feng Xiaogang.

At the beginning of the story, the thief played by Liu Ruoying was teaching English to Fu Biao, who played the role of a wealthy man, while Xu Fan appeared as Fu Biao's wife.

Wearing a tight-fitting red short-sleeved suit and a black skirt, Xu Fanjiao's figure is set off, making the audience focus on her.

And Liu Ruoying, who is dressed in white professional attire, is equally admirable with her gentle tone and seductive eyes when teaching English.

The audience's attention was instantly attracted.

Sure enough, all great directors know how to shoot women.

Know how to catch people's attention in the first place.

Subsequently, the plot of Liu Ruoying and Liu Dehua teaming up with the Immortal to dance Fu Biao also quickly let the audience understand the identities of the two protagonists.

On the way to the west, Liu Ruoying's morning sickness also left people with a suspense about where the two thieves would go.

A ray of skylight shines on the small town in the distance. The scene changes and another ray of light spreads out from the car window behind the two people, indicating that the two are about to embark on the road to redemption.

Later, the figure of Liu Ruoying worshiping Buddha devoutly and the scene of Liu Dehua stealing among the crowd were constantly intertwined, which made people feel a bit ironic.

Compared to other viewers, Chen Shuo paid more attention to his own role.

There was no role for him in the previous part, and it wasn't until the film progressed for half an hour that it was Chen Shuo's turn to appear.

That was his original interview and his first trip to Gansu Province to film the scenes.

"Finally, we've waited for Chen Shuo." Liu Yifei said happily as she looked at Chen Shuo wearing black-rimmed glasses and a red hat on the screen.

Chen Rui asked: "Didn't you say there will be more scenes? Why is my brother still having so few scenes?"

Shu Chang explained: "He will also be a supporting role in the additional role, and he is still a smaller supporting role than Ge You.

Haven't you seen that Ge You doesn't have many more scenes than Chen Shuo? "

"That's right." Chen Rui nodded.

As Ge You said: "What is most important in the 21st century? Talent!"

Si Yan, played by Chen Shuo, started his first fight with Andy Lau in order to steal Wang Baoqiang's money.

Although there was no big opening or closing action, in the narrow workshop aisle, Chen Shuo and Liu Dehua used two blades to fight with their superb skills.

It made this scene particularly tense and exciting.

Especially the part where Chen Shuo takes action is basically a panoramic view, with the camera facing him, clearly showing his techniques.

Andy Lau, on the other hand, appears more in fragmented shots and back views.

After all, these actions are not difficult for Chen Shuo, but Liu Dehua's role was basically replaced by Jiang Daohai.

Moreover, under Feng Xiaogang's editing, the two people are evenly matched in the atmosphere.

Finally, Chen Shuo accidentally knocked the blade out of his hand by Liu Dehua. His eyes changed and he was about to take action again when the conductor came and interrupted Chen Shuo's movements.

He glanced at Liu Dehua unwillingly and had to go hand in hand with him, pretending to be friends.

Everyone watching this scene was thrilling and amazed. After all, although most of them have had the experience of being stolen, this was the first time they saw a fight between thieves and thieves.

But Andy Lau is the protagonist after all, and Ge You is also the biggest selling point of this drama.

Later, scenes of Andy Lau peeling eggs with a glass cup and Ge You peeling raw eggs with bare hands aroused bursts of exclamations in the theater.

Although Chen Shuo knows these two skills, under the editing of the camera, these two techniques appear even more magical.

Two hours passed quickly, with shots of Liu Ruoying worshiping devoutly in front of the temple again, and shots of several women nearby wrapping up a baby abandoned at the door of the temple. For the sake of this drama, Come to an end.

It also left a trace of melancholy in the audience.
