Chapter 270 The Broker Who Was Cannon Fodder in the Entertainment Industry (41)
Shi Yuxu's performance in the second episode was very good, and Ai Xiaosu's role as a monster pushed the popularity up, and his popularity soared a lot.
He was hidden before because he offended the producer, so there was no black spot.
So after the second live broadcast ended, Qingyou received a lot of resources that came to her door.
But most of them were not in line with her development plan for Shi Yuxu, and they were all rejected.
On the contrary, there was a military-themed film director who approached him for cooperation.
Qingyou asked the other party to go to the company to talk the next day.
the next day.
Director Xia brought the screenwriter and script to Star Entertainment.
Qingyou brought Shi Yuxu to meet him.
After the two chatted for a while, Director Xia handed the script to Qingyou to read.
Qingyou looked through it roughly and found that the script was really good. The story line revolved around the hero of the peacekeeping force. The whole process was hard-core, full of tension, excitement, blood, tears, and affection.
Yuan Bo didn't have this drama in his memory, so there were only two possibilities, either it wasn't filmed, or it was filmed without any splashes.
But this script is really good, as long as the actors don't make any mistakes, they can pass the review and it is unlikely to be a hit, so the possibility of the former is very high.
She thought for a while and asked, "Do you want to make this drama into a movie?"
Director Xia nodded, "Yes, I am very optimistic about this script. As long as the actors can interpret the characters in the script, I believe the film's performance will not be bad."
Qingyou continued to ask: "Then you want to invite Shi Yuxu to be the hero?"
Director Xia nodded again, "Yes, I watched the variety shows he participated in, and found that his image is very suitable for the male protagonist. The key point is that I appreciate his performance in variety shows."
"He has gradually become a tough guy in variety shows. I think he is not afraid of hardships or tiredness, he has adapted to many training methods, and his acting skills are not bad. The filming should have the feeling of a male lead I want. "
Qingyou also nodded, "Shi Yuxu is indeed suitable for the role of the hero."
"Director Xia, do you want Shi Yuxu to play the male lead, do you have any additional conditions?"
She felt that it was not that simple for Xia Tuo to choose her teacher Yu Xu.
Director Xia heard Qingyou's initiative to ask, and said with a smile: "It's not that there are additional conditions, but I just want to ask your boss if he is interested in investing in this movie."
There was a bit of bitterness on his face, and he said truthfully: "Our movie has no investors yet."
Since he came to solicit investment, he didn't want to hide it, it's better to be sincere.
Qingyou also guessed that this was the case. After all, depending on the direction of the script, filming not only needs to go abroad, but also requires a lot of expensive props. If you want to shoot that kind of scene effect, you have to use special effects, and the cost is not ordinary up.
"This script is a good script, but if it is to be filmed, the initial investment cannot be less than million."
"If you want the effect to be good, you have to spend two to three hundred million."
She added: "Such a large investment, plus it's not a popular subject, is very risky for investors!"
Director Xia smiled wryly, "Yes, but the script is really good. As long as the funds are in place, the filming effect will definitely not be bad."
It is precisely because the investment is large, but the return is unknown, and it may even be impossible to get it back, so he has been investing for more than a year, but no one is willing to invest.
After all, movies with this kind of theme are indeed a bit unpopular, and there have been no examples of explosions before.
Originally, both he and the screenwriter were ready to give up.
But I accidentally saw that live broadcast, and found that Shi Yuxu was very suitable to play the leading role, especially after the variety show was over, he could still catch a wave of popularity.
Then, I just heard that the president of Star Entertainment indulged Shi Yuxu's manager and directly invested in the artists she brought to revive a variety show.
So I came here to try it out.
Qingyou smiled and said nothing, but handed the script to Shi Yuxu and said, "See if you like this script."
Shi Yuxu was taken aback after hearing the conversation between Qingyou and Director Xia, the investment was too big.
At the same time, I also understood that Director Xia couldn't afford to invest in the filming of this drama. While he fell in love with him, he also liked Xingchen Entertainment behind him.
"Okay!" Shi Yuxu felt that his manager was serious, so he took over the script and read it.
After reading it, he looked a bit complicated.
Seeing this, Qingyou smiled and asked: "You just have to tell the truth, whether you like it or not, whether you want to shoot or not, that's enough."
Shi Yuxu already knew her temperament, so she nodded and said truthfully, "I like the script very much, and I want to shoot it too."
Then the topic changed: "But the investment is really too big and the risk is very high. In the past, none of the movies with this kind of subject matter has been hit, and there are not many movies with this kind of subject matter in China."
What if you invest so much money in it and the box office hits?
Director Xia was in a hurry, "It hasn't exploded before, either because the plot is not good enough, or because the investment is not large, and the scene that bursts with blood and ignites was not filmed."
"Our script is all available."
He really wanted to make the script into a movie, and he was very optimistic about the script.
It's a pity that other people are not optimistic. He has been soliciting investment for more than a year, but he has been rejected every time. Some people even ridiculed him, thinking that even if the money is thrown away, it may not make a big splash.
Now hearing that Shi Yuxu himself likes it but he is not so optimistic about it, he is prepared in his heart to be habitually rejected.
Seeing Director Xia's eagerness, Qingyou said, "I'm also very optimistic about this script, but I'm not in charge of the investment issue, and I can't give you an answer right now."
"Why don't you leave the script and I'll go to Mr. Huo in the afternoon to see if he wants to invest."
Qingyou's words made Director Xia, who was about to give up, show a surprised expression, "No problem, I will keep the script, you and Mr. Huo can discuss it slowly, I am not in a hurry."
As long as Qingyou is willing to talk to Mr. Huo, there is still hope.
Qingyou smiled and said, "I'll call you when Mr. Huo makes a decision."
Director Xia nodded, "Okay, thank you very much!"
The two chatted for a while, and Director Xia bid farewell to the screenwriter.
After they left, Shi Yuxu couldn't hold back and asked, "Sister Youyou, do you really want to talk to Mr. Huo? Are you very optimistic about this script?"
Qingyou nodded, "Yes, I am very optimistic about this script."
She said with a somewhat indulgent smile: "The key is that it suits you, you also like and want to act, that's enough."
When Shi Yuxu heard this, he couldn't help feeling moved and warm in his heart. His manager really doted on them.
After thinking for a while, he still spoke out what he was worried about, "But with such a large investment, what if the box office is not good in the end?"
Qingyou smiled confidently: "You have to trust my vision."
"As long as Director Xia shoots what is in the script, he will definitely not hit the streets."
"Unpopular themes don't make any splashes, but once they explode, they are basically a big hit."
"I think this script has the potential to explode, and I am very optimistic about it."
"The key is that your first work in the circle is a big box office movie, which can directly boost your celebrity status."
Although Shi Yuxu was once popular for a while, but now he is not even as good as the third line.
But if there is a movie that is a big hit at the box office, if you win a prestigious award, and then get a few well-known endorsements, you can go straight to the front line.
