Huayu, can you be called the best actor if you don’t indulge yourself? - Chapter 494 Pour cold water on

It’s one thing to know how to strike while the iron is hot.

But whether the iron is good or not is another matter.

Answer or not.

It depends on how the project goes.

Both Paragon and Cinderella are better choices than Slam Dunk, but firstly, the scripts handed over are not good, and secondly, the market expectations are not high enough, so the sequel project has not been launched.

Li Luo looked at the briefcase steadily, then shifted his gaze to Wu Dun's face with a smile.

Whether it is a sequel or the original crew reuniting.

In fact, he didn't resist.

But if he has a choice, he still hopes that the quality of the script can be acceptable. It's okay to make bad money once or twice, but if he makes too much, the audience's trust will quickly collapse.

In Li Luo's opinion, it is not worth it.

From a certain perspective, trust is actually part of personal business value.

You can make a fortune in a short period of time.

Deng Chao's health bar is considered to be quite strong, but a movie like "Breakup Guru" and "Bad Angels" almost destroyed his popularity.

Made a lot of money.

But he was scolded so badly.

despite this.

So many netizens joked that Yu Baimei might have held some fatal handle on that guy. In fact, teasing is a small matter. The most fatal thing is that it forms a fixed impression on the audience.

Even if some good movies are made in the future.

No one else believes it either.

No matter how hard you promote it, the moment Deng + Yu appears in front of the audience, they are already labeled as a bad movie.

As soon as the movie comes out.

Ok.

This guy is making another cool movie.

Although he was thinking about various things in his mind, Li Luo's eyes were bright.

Patting his thigh, Wu Dun pressed back the actor's chair and made a sound of being overwhelmed: "Look at him, he must have guessed what we are here for. Stop trying to keep us in suspense!"

Zhang Long laughed.

He quickly placed the briefcase on his knees and flipped it open with a click.

You guessed it right.

As soon as he saw the name on the cover, Li Luo felt an instant pain in his balls. As early as when he was filming "Slam Dunk", he suspected that this terrible movie might have been made by Wu Dun.

There is no doubt now that there is no second possibility.

The two words "Ci Ling".

It made him shiver in his heart.

“It’s not just the original cast.”

Taking the two lit cigars from Zhang Long, Wu Dun smiled and passed one to Li Luo: "Director Zhu Yanping, action director Cheng Xiaodong, you and Jie Lun are the two male leads, as for the female lead."

"I found the hottest actress right now."

"Lin Chi-ling!"

Li Luo took the cigar, bit it and continued to read the script.

"Ah."

After calming down, Wu Dun said confidently: "When Red Cliff is released, Lin Chiling's popularity will rise again. In addition, I have found a few talented actors to play supporting roles."

"Zeng Zhiwei, Zeng Jiang, Huang Yifei, Director Zhu is still in contact with Chen Daoming, and there is a very high probability that he will be invited."

"The theme is a treasure hunt adventure that is very popular in the market, which combines elements of action, magic, adventure, idols, etc. The estimated production budget for this film is 70 million RMB!"

“I’m not afraid to spend a lot of money.”

At this point, Wu Dun waved his arms heavily: "This time I want to create a commercial blockbuster!!!"

Although he consciously lowered his voice, it still made a loud noise when he landed on the ground.

Then he nodded repeatedly.

After explaining the basic information of the project, Wu Dun looked at Li Luo who was carefully reading the script. He bit his cigar, took a deep sip, and exhaled a long column of smoke.

Although the salary conditions have not been announced yet.

But this time.

Instead, he and Jay Chou play the dual male lead roles in the movie.

With such a luxurious lineup and investment, he didn't believe that he would not be able to attract Li Luo to join.

Listen to what Wu Dun said.

Li Luo continued to read the script slowly.

It cannot be said that the idea is wrong. In fact, most production company bosses in the industry do this.

Even Hollywood is no exception.

When Iron Man became a huge box office success, the producers just kept copying and copying it.

There was a burst of clapping.

I just didn't expect that the big brother himself would spend so much money. The production budget of 70 million is definitely a huge investment. It would be no problem to say 150 million during the promotion. Now everyone is bragging about doubling the amount.

Li Luo, Jay Chou, Chen Daoming, Lin Chi-ling, Zeng Zhiwei, Zeng Jiang, Huang Yifei.

This lineup.

It is also quite gorgeous when taken out.

In addition to the well-known director and top martial arts director, judging from the data on paper alone, the production strength, front- and back-stage teams are all quite terrifying, and the script is also full of various commercial elements that are popular.

You can’t blame Wu Dun for being so confident.

If other industry veterans were to evaluate this project, they would basically think that this is definitely a commercial blockbuster aimed at a box office of 200 million.

But sometimes.

The gathering of many stars does not necessarily mean that a good movie can be made.

The current film "刺陵" is just a pile of gorgeous casts, and then a lot of gorgeous shit. The plot has no logic at all, and Zhu Yanping did not show the level of a great director at all.

Jay Chou and Lin Chi-ling are as stable as ever.

The former is steadily showing off.

There can be vases in film and television dramas, and they need to be beautiful vases for the audience to appreciate. But if the male and female protagonists are both vases, the production company will most likely face a complete disaster.

The leading male and female actors all acted in a mess, and those talented supporting actors naturally did not put in enough effort.

A capable person.

Often represents a veteran.

When everyone is serious, capable and focused on running a project, they will naturally work hard. But once they realize that this is a failed project, they will definitely not work hard.

Just earn the pay and run away.

This is the project we have at hand now.

After just a few minutes of looking through it, Li Luo was 100% sure that this was the original "刺陵". There were some minor changes in the script, but it still looked like a patchwork.

Still only part of it.

If my memory serves me right, the rest of the bad stuff includes the terrible acting, the gaudy makeup and fighting scenes, and the crude and crude advertising placement.

No matter how capable you are at the box office, you can't withstand such a thunder.

Script flipping room.

Li Luo's mind was also working rapidly.

Thinking about how to avoid this sudden pit.

"Brother Dun."

Holding the half-read script in his palm, Li Luo looked at Wu Dun calmly: "The director of this movie is Zhu Yanping, are you sure he can accept me as the leading actor of this movie?"

Wu Dun nodded with a smile, and waved his hand very simply, "Don't worry about this matter, I have the final say!"

In fact.

Zhu Yanping did have objections.

It is impossible to say that he has no opinion on Li Luo overturning the table of the Golden Horse Awards.

I don't care what you are angry about.

Bear with it!

You can have opinions about anyone, but you can't have opinions about the money.

"When will it be filmed?"

"Hahaha."

Wu Dun bit his cigar and blew out smoke proudly: "I know you are busy, and Jie Lun is also busy, so I came here early to make an appointment with you this time. The time is set for February or March next year."

"By then, he will have just finished his concert and will have more than two months free."

As soon as these words came out.

In a flash, his eyebrows were tightly furrowed.

"Ok?"

Noticing Li Luo's look, Wu Dun hurriedly leaned forward: "What's that expression on your face? Didn't you say some time ago that you would play golf with me when you had nothing to do?"

"This time, that time."

I saw the text message about the appointment with Han Sanping.

Wu Dun's teeth felt sore.

He was very clear about Han Sanping's importance. He couldn't let Li Luo kick out the schedule of the head of China Film Group. Even if the other party had the guts to do so, he was too embarrassed to bring it up.

"Adjust it?"

Jay Chou has already negotiated.

From "Initial D" to "Curse of the Golden Flower", and later "Secret" and "Slam Dunk" were all box office hits, and can be considered an absolute guarantee of box office success.

But Li Luo is not bad either.

As a producer, of course I would like to have double insurance if I have the opportunity.

By then, we can earn more money from advertising placements.

Li Luo didn't say anything, but quickly pressed the buttons on his phone, then showed the screen to Wu Dun.

This time.

Even Zhang Long stared over curiously.

"I was not informed in advance, so there may be a conflict in the filming schedule now."

"I wonder if Big Brother is free now."

"Shall we negotiate?"

Wu Dun was speechless after reading the text messages on the screen. He was so depressed that he kept biting his cigar and taking a puff.

The latter is something no one wants to refuse.

The two consecutive text messages choked him to death.

Zhang Long scratched his head, not knowing what to say at this moment. He was still looking forward to working with Li Luo again. It was fun to shoot and everyone had fun together.

Now even if Li Luo had three heads and six arms, it would be impossible for him to jump back and forth between three crews in such a short period of time.

Shaking his head, Wu Dun exhaled a puff of smoke heavily: "There is nothing I can do if I don't have a schedule. You have come all the way from Beijing Film Academy to now, and it is really not easy to get a film contract with Han Sanping and Fang Long."

“This opportunity is extremely rare.”

"You must act well when the time comes, and try to take a steady step up to the next level!"

"Ah."

"Hey."

Noticing the expression on his face, Wu Dun looked at Zhang Long with a smile: "Look at how capable our General Manager Li is. It seems that without him as a butcher, we would have to eat pigs with hair."

"Hahaha."

Zhang Long chuckled.

Let’s make a play!It's normal that the timing is not right. At worst, we can find another opportunity to cooperate next time.

The two people's statements made Li Luo completely entangled. He bit the cigar and took a deep puff, looking at Wu Dun with a serious expression: "Brother Dun, Xinghuo Film and Television is preparing a TV series."

"Directed by Zheng Xiaolong."

"Well, we estimate that it will start filming around this time next year."

This is a change of tone.

Wu Dun and Zhang Long were stunned and unable to react.

I clearly came here to arrange a play, but how did it suddenly become like the other party wanted to set up a party with me!And it will be this time next year.

The investment in "刺陵" is so huge, it is impossible for Changhong to only start one project. How could he spare 20 million to invest in it in such a tight time?

"wrong."

He clenched his palm into a fist and looked at Li Luo: "You have something else in your words!"

He has been in the underworld for many years.

Instead of falling on the streets, he became a big shot in the film and television industry.

"Uh"

After hesitating for a moment, Li Luo slowly put out his cigar: "Brother Dun, Brother Long, what do you think of my vision in accepting roles? What do you think of my ability to read scripts?"

Wu Dun and Zhang Long looked at each other immediately.

Don’t say anything else.

When he rejected the investment for "Raging Fire", Wu Dun almost got his thigh swollen.

"You don't think highly of Ci Ling?"

Zhang Long realized what Li Luo wanted to express.

"Yes!"

"The feeling I get."

“There’s nothing about this script that appeals to me.”

"I haven't had much contact with Director Zhu. He may have been very successful in the past, but when he was filming Slam Dunk last time, I felt that some of his ideas were outdated, and Lin Chi-ling's acting was too poor."

"It's very, very bad. It's okay to let her play a cameo role, but she shouldn't be chosen to play the leading female role."

"Brother Dun, you need to consider this project carefully."

Speak all in one breath.

Li Luo leaned back in his chair and looked calmly at the two people sitting in front of him.

These words.

People come to you with good intentions to film a movie, but you just don't accept it.

He also talked nonsense.

It's like having a basin of cold water poured over your head. It's so unlucky.

If it weren’t for what Wu Dun said just now, Li Luo really didn’t want to do such a thankless task.

But even if there was a situation where the system helped, in the final analysis it was Wu Dun who allowed him to play the leading role in "The Heaven Sword and Dragon Saber", and it was also him who brought him "Heroes of Sui and Tang Dynasties" and "Pingzong Xiaying".

It is no exaggeration to say that it is a favor of support.

Think left and right.

He still couldn't bear to watch the other person fall into the huge pit, so he chose to stand by and say nothing.

Smoke rises slowly.

The cigar in Wu Dun's hand flickered.

He was indeed very unhappy at the beginning. Although his words were tactful, his meaning was clear. He felt that the project he was planning was very likely to fail.

You really think of yourself as a butcher. Without you, you can't eat pork.

Especially this circle.

However, even though he knew that Li Luo had good intentions, Wu Dun still felt unhappy and disappointed.

I barely smiled.

He nodded slightly to indicate that he would consider it carefully.

He quickly said he had something to do and left.

Looking at Wu Dun's receding back, Li Luo sighed helplessly. The other party would probably continue filming this film as planned. People like them are more opinionated than each other.

Especially when the cards are so beautiful.

How can you change your mind so easily just because you don't think it's a good idea?

That won’t work either!

After all, their vision is not bad. Changhong Film and Television has been smooth sailing since entering the mainland market, and has produced various popular film and television dramas.

"Brother Luo."

Just as Li Luo was about to walk towards the prepared shooting scene, a low cry sounded from behind.

He looked at Zhang Long, who was walking hurriedly, in confusion.

"Long story short."

Zhang Long paused for a moment, then punched him in the chest: "We are brothers from now on. What you said makes sense. Brother Dun and I will think it over carefully."

"okay."

Smiling and waving his hand, Zhang Long quickly chased after him outside.

Look at the swaying figure.

A smile appeared on Li Luo's face.

End of episode.

Li Luo swung his foot from under his robe and knocked Fan Shaohuang to the ground.

Arriving at the dilapidated house, Li Luo gently lifted Lynn Hung from the bed and fed her spoonful of medicine. His warm embrace and caring eyes quickly led Lynn Hung into the role.

In the blink of an eye.

Crystal clear tears slid down her cheeks.

Under the guidance of Li Luo.

Xiong Dailin showed acting skills that were beyond her expectations, which made Ye Weixin very excited.

This day was filmed.

Li Luo quickly got into the mood and thoroughly enjoyed the joy of acting.

With a slap, Huo Xiao left a hand mark on Lin Jiadong's face.

The ends of her hair were swung by the beating.

He looked at the other party's excited argument with an expressionless face, and then gradually walked away amid the roars of "I'm just a translator, I'm not a running dog, I'm hungry too, I want to eat."

He came to the textile factory and led a group of extras to practice Wing Chun move by move.

He fought with Hiroyuki Ikeuchi in the ring and beat the latter so hard that he cried out in pain.

Inside the huge factory.

The roar of "I'm going to beat ten of them" was deafening.

The intense action scenes caused many injuries to the "Ip Man" crew, but no matter how Wuhan and the actors complained, as long as they saw the figure still standing steadily, they would grit their teeth and move forward.

When the leading actor is giving his all, who would dare to cheat on the set?

A team that works together as one.

This unleashes an unprecedented burst of energy.

During this period, Asa, Hu Ge and others came to visit the set with great enthusiasm, but were stunned by the brutal fight and were so shocked that they kept swallowing their saliva.

In the day after day shooting.

The crew of the neighboring drama "Sword Butterfly" officially wrapped up filming in June.

After a night of crazy lovemaking, Li Luo and Asa's brief married life on the set came to an end. Both parties tacitly agreed not to contact each other privately. Of course, they didn't mind arguing with each other when there was a chance.

It wasn't long before I said goodbye to Asa.

When I took the flowers handed to me by Li Luo.

The girl was crying so hard that she didn't want to let go of the man she was holding.

When leaving.

He even looked back every three steps.

The epic production "Red Cliff", which has top-notch investment and cast, held its grand premiere in Chengdu.

Although the play is full of flaws.

Sun Quan's Taiwanese accent instantly distracted the audience from the play, and the phrase "Meng Meng stand up" gave the audience goosebumps, while the various colloquialisms made people laugh.

But it still relies on the extremely high-quality costumes and props, grand scenes and overwhelming publicity.

The film earned 1.08 million yuan at the box office in just four days of release.

this number.

Let all the leading actors be full of energy and enthusiasm.

With this power, Zhao Wei successfully got rid of the bad reputation of being a "box office poison". Although Xiao Qiao was criticized for her accent and poor acting skills, she became the national goddess Sister Zhiling thanks to this movie.

Hu Jun maintained his position in the front line.

Almost everyone in the play gets all the benefits.

As the leader, John Woo has repeatedly made headlines in major entertainment newspapers, showing his style as an international director.

Over 100 million in four days.

It seemed as if all those words of persuasion before had made her act like a villain for nothing. With such terrifying popularity, no producer would miss the opportunity to let Lin Chi-ling be the leading lady.

Abandonment is the biggest anomaly.

Wu Dun was destined to fall headfirst into that pit.

Shaking his head and throwing away the newspaper, he strode forward at the call of the stage manager and greeted his final scene with a smile.
