Another World Under My Pen

Chapter 443: Coloring

"There is still a full month left before the release of "Night Murder 2", let us look forward to it together!"

Normally, after finishing his Weibo, Mao Xu lazily threw the phone on the table, and said with some dissatisfaction: "President Fei, I can understand the promotion of the movie, but you have arranged too much for me. Right? Five variety shows, four public events, eight sets of magazine photos... The most exaggerated is the affair with Geng Qiu! If it is really going to be a scandal, it should start at the time of "Dark Night 1" good or not?"

Fei Lan accompanied Mao Xu with a smile and said, "Sorry, let's work hard for another month! Our investment this time has soared by 50%, totaling nearly 400 million, and there is no one billion box office to return. Nothing!"

While saying these things, Fei Lan cursed secretly in his heart.

When filming "Death of Darkness 1", the production cost was 170 million, but with the publicity fee it was almost 250 million. However, the three main actors and directors paid only about 80 million yuan, and the rest was invested in production. But as the box office of the first part was good, the production cost of the second part began to soar-mainly because the pay of this group of people soared by more than half!

Mao Xu alone took 60 million!

This money is not enough. After all, compared with Chen Anmin and the so-called national goddess Geng Qiu, Mao Xu is the backbone of this movie. So even if he is not reconciled, he speaks loudly in Mao Xu Lions and said that if the conditions are not met For Qin Guangxia, who didn't mind giving up, the producer had to gritted his teeth and took out the money.

With a salary of 130 million, the second part almost aborted.

Fortunately, the profit of the first film gave investors confidence, and a large investment of funds allowed the film to be completed. It's just that in order to attract more audiences into the cinema, they have to use larger scenes and more special effects, and the production cost has come to 250 million!

Don't forget, the publicity cost has exceeded 100 million!

So for the producer Fei Lan, the box office of this film can be said to be under great pressure. If the domestic price is less than 900 million, it will definitely not be able to recover the cost from the box office. If it is less than 600 million, then it is appropriate. To lose money! After all, if the box office is not high, it is also difficult to expect to make money from overseas or other sources!

The situation is so severe, what's the matter with more publicity?

Look at the other person Geng Qiu, there are more variety shows to run than you, more than 20 sets of magazine photos to be taken, and a female celebrity is going to rumor a scumbag about you...

Of course, Lan didn't dare to talk about these calls, but only cursed in his heart.

"Autumn, what do you say?"

Glancing at the female star, Mao Xu asked with a chuckle.

"Me? I have no objection!"

With pink nails on his own, Geng Qiuman casually said: "Everyone will benefit when the box office is good, so Mr. Fei will do whatever he wants! Besides, it's just a rumor... Don't count on me. Just cooperate!"

"Haha, of course not!"

Knowing that Geng Qiu's position is an intellectual goddess, Fei Lan naturally would not force the other party.

Only seeing Geng Qiu's casual look, Mao Xu secretly gritted his teeth and secretly cursed and pretended to be! From the beginning of the first collaboration, Mao Xu was very moved by this beautiful and smooth female star. He often teased each other in private, but he was simply ignored by others.

Except when filming, I haven't even eaten a meal.

So this will make Geng Qiu's behavior more natural, and Mao Xu's heart will be more uncomfortable. If she is stubborn, it also means that she feels a little bit for herself. This attitude is so free and easy...

Not paying attention to the change in Mao Xu's expression, Geng Qiu suddenly asked, "But Director Qiu... You said last time that we were flanked by two spy films. Is it a big problem?"

"Haha, what's the problem then?"

Hearing what Geng Qiu said, Mao Xu burst into laughter.

"Hurricane Rescue" and "Mission Impossible" were released successively in "Dark Night 2". Of course Mao Xu knew about this a long time ago, but what if he did? Action superstars have never taken it seriously!

One is a sequel to a blockbuster that already has a foundation, and the two are purely original, are they comparable?

And look at the scale of the cast of the three movies again. "Night Murder 2" has three big stars, and the director is Qiu Zuoli, who has a reputation and a box office. This is the top first-class level in China. "Mission Impossible" is mainly Tang Long and Qiu Bingbing. This lineup is really not bad, but after including the director Bian Lin, it can't be compared with Dark Night!

As for the first "Hurricane Rescue", Mao Xu didn't even bother to mention it!

Regardless of the director or the starring role, the only thing Mao Xu has ever heard of is Xue Ligang, and he was an action star who had been popular for a year or two before he made his debut. Now he is more than fifty and can still act as an agent? And I heard that the total investment is only a little over 100 million yuan, what big scenes can be shot?

Give me a break!

"Uh... Brother Mao, don't despise them too much!"

Seeing Mao Xu’s disdainful face, Qiu Zuoli, who had always been calm, frowned, “Now judging from the clips and trailers released by the two crews, it seems that the shots are very exciting, especially the "Hurricane." "Rescue", it seems that the family was kidnapped, and the protagonist went abroad to rescue...This is a crash with us!"

"Director Qiu, the trailer is meaningless, right?"

In response to Qiu Zuoli's concern, producer Fei Lan smiled and shook his head.

In recent years, everyone is paying more and more attention to trailers. The colorful ones made one by one, especially the action movies are even more dazzling. At first glance, all of them are super blockbusters with hundreds of millions of investment! But in fact, when I saw it in the cinema, the most exciting shots of the entire movie had been included in the trailer.

Mao Xu also laughed and waved his hand: "What Mr. Fei said is right. The trailer is uncountable. As for the plot crash... Director Qiu, do you think a movie scene with an investment of just over 100 million yuan? Can it be compared with our "Desperate Night 2"? Haha, just put your heart in your stomach, it must be fine!"

"Ha ha……"

Seeing the smug look of the producer and Mao Xu, Qiu Zuoli shook his head with a wry smile.

Is an investment of 100 million yuan very small?

Compared with "Night Murder 2" and "Mission Impossible", it is indeed a bit less, after all, it is twice as bad! But when Fei Lan and Mao Xu laughed at each other, they neglected one thing at the same time, that is, the production cost of 100 million yuan is real, and there is almost no water!

Xue Ligang, an outdated action star, earned no more than three or four million.

In addition to the remuneration of those supporting actors, directors and others, Qiu Zuoli can definitely not exceed 15 million! And look at the publicity methods of "Hurricane Rescue", the publicity cost is estimated to be over 20 million, which means that the funds invested in the film are actually at least 70 to 80 million!

In front of this number, Qiu Zuoli didn't understand what qualifications they had to look down on others.

The production cost of "Night Murder 2" is only half that of others. This is not an essential difference. At least during the filming process Qiu Zuoli felt that the funds were stretched countless times. Many subtle ideas could not be realized due to cost constraints. For example, originally designed a series of dozens of cars chasing a series of collisions, and finally the producer found him. Seven or eight vehicles fooled...

At this moment, Geng Qiu, who was watching the whole process, suddenly raised his head and said: "Let me say a few. I heard that the screenwriters of the two films are the same person. Do you know who he is?"

"I know, that old white!"

Hehe smiled, Fei Lan said in a very flat tone: "I've seen "Criminal Minds" written by him. It is indeed quite good, and the ratings and Internet on-demand rates are also high and scary, but after all, it is a TV series, not the same as a movie. It's something!"

"is it?"

Geng Qiu raised his brow slightly, and chuckled lightly.

Although Fei Lan's expression seemed very relaxed, Geng Qiu, who was familiar with him, could still see Lao Fei's worries from his eyebrows. Think about it, if that guy's script is really mediocre, can you tell the three major film companies to invest in his movies at the same time? And all the movies in Yishui are related to agents?

But these words, the actor Geng Qiu doesn't have to say directly.

On the contrary, Qiu Zuoli, who was the director, had a solemn expression and said solemnly: "In fact, Xiao Qiu reminded me very well. Anyway, I think this old white should not be simple, and... don’t you think it’s weird? Two movies related to agents are just right. We got stuck in the middle of the movie "Death of Darkness 2", and I always feel that there are some unimaginable things in it!"

"..."

Everyone was chatting, but no one noticed, the expression of Mao Xu next to him suddenly became extremely ugly!

Old white?

Is that guy?

Is it the guy who beautifully let her sleep up all night, and then made herself ugly at the first premiere of Dark Night?

That guy suddenly wrote two movie scripts, and then the second movie was released around the dark night. Could it be that...

"No, it's impossible!"

Suddenly thinking of a possibility, Mao Xu immediately shook his head and laughed first.

how can that be possible?

Even if that kid really hates him, but three movie scripts, and all of them are related to secret agents, are they really so easy to write? And can it be so good that big companies like Benma, Lotus and Forbidden City can invest in them at the same time, and promise the kid to compete with "Death of Darkness 2"?

How could it be possible!

"Huh? Mao Xu, what are you laughing at?"

Noting the change in Mao Xu's expression this time, Geng Qiu frowned and asked a little unhappy.

"Huh? Oh, it's okay, it's okay!"

Depressing his uneasiness, Mao Xu looked at the producer and smiled: "President Fei, I just thought about it, anyway, it’s always right to pay attention to it! Let’s do this, if you bother with it, I have more Run, it’s not bad to be able to participate in a few more shows to promote! In addition, I think it’s totally possible to contact some navy forces to give some color to "Hurricane Rescue" first..."
