This actor just wants to verify.

Chapter 640: Fighting with the boss for a woman? (asking for a monthly ticket)

"It's too explicit!" Before Zhou Xun and An Xiaoxi could say anything, Hao Yun objected without hesitation:

"Even if we add some elements of this aspect, it has to be very vague. It would not be good if it is exposed, let alone a kissing scene."

Even the leading male character doesn't have anyone to kiss.

Why do the two heroines have to kiss each other? It’s so unfair!
"ε=(ο｀*)))Alas"

How could Xu Ke not know this?

On the emotional level, "Painted Skin" mainly plays with artistic conception, that kind of vagueness that seems to be true but is not.

If you really do it on a large scale, it will lose its true meaning.

It’s just that in his films the plot is often subordinate to the images.

He felt that this kind of scene would be so beautiful that it would leave a mark in film history, and he would feel uncomfortable if he didn't shoot it.

After "The Legend of Zu", he hasn't had any highlight shots for a long time.

"Director Xu, I like the hazy beauty in your shots. That's what's so alluring." Zhou Xun also hurriedly persuaded Xu Ke to give up the idea.

Those who have died know that if you don’t seek death, you won’t die.

She has just joined Heidou Media for a few days, and you let her compete with the boss for a woman?
"Ah!" An Xiaoxi just reacted now.

Fortunately, Zhou Xun also opposed this, otherwise she would really kick Zhou Xun away and say, "I just treat you as my best friend, and you actually want to sleep with me!"

But she had nothing to worry about.

There is a kind of blind trust in Hao Yun, and Hao Yun is indeed firmly opposed to such gimmicks.

"Forget it, let me think about how to take the photo beautifully."

Xu Ke felt very sorry, but since all three of them were against it and were unwilling to sacrifice for art, he could do nothing about it.

Hao Yun quickly announced the start of work and changed the subject.

He doesn't mind looking at beautiful girls, but he can't let his old classmates down.

This kind of film is unlikely to win any major awards.

The following filming did not go smoothly, and Xu Ke was unable to help because the cows simply refused to cooperate.

Just a few days after filming began, only five of the six cows were left.

One of them was dead.

The entire crew was very sad and held a funeral for the cow actor.

The more it is cremated, the more fragrant it becomes.

There's nothing I can do. I understand.

Now the five remaining cows must take up their responsibilities and complete the filming of the movie smoothly.

Hao Yun doesn't want to spend money to buy dairy cows anymore.

The crew has plenty of money, but they don't spend it this way. Hao Yun never cooks the books.

We have to think of a way.

He actually figured it out.

Take a picture of the properties!

If Nai Xi can be photographed, why can’t a cow be photographed?

Give the cow's attributes to Huang Bo, and take some attributes from the cow, such as affinity, physical strength, etc., and give them all to Huang Bo.

Huang Bo didn't think there was anything wrong with it.

Although he doesn't eat and sleep with the cows recently, he still does all the feeding, milking, and combing by himself.

It's like she's falling in love with a cow.

If you give him some cow attributes, he will feel that his purpose of getting close to the cow has been achieved.

Now he can understand cows, which means he smells like cows.

After Huang Bo developed some of the cow's attributes, the cow became much closer to him, and several consecutive shots were almost all shot in one go.

Xu Ke was stunned by what he saw.

Because even if it was him, it wouldn't be possible to shoot so smoothly. Could it be that this cow is very special?

Or maybe a cow was killed and roasted a few days ago, and the remaining cows felt a sense of crisis and started trying hard to show their loyalty.

After Xu Ke stayed for a few days, he first discussed the script, then the set, and the special effects.

Setting up the scenery and special effects are both huge projects, and Xu Ke needs to follow up on this matter.

The two have a clear division of labor.

Hao Yun began to prepare to raise investment for "Painted Skin".

By mid-November, he and Xu Ke had completed the total cost of Painted Skin.

Eighty million!
The cost is so high, but the pay is not that outrageous.

The combined salary of Hao Yun, Zhou Xun and An Xiaoxi is less than 10 million, which is considered a low salary.

These days, it's unrealistic to make a lot of money from film pay.

But after the movie became popular, any endorsement could easily make up for the film's salary.

Then there is Xu Ke’s director’s fee and producer’s fee of 150 million.

Hao Yun’s directing fee was also 150 million.

What really costs money is the production and promotion of the film.

Hao Yun obviously wanted to make a high-quality movie to lay the foundation for "Life of Pi" and convince investors that he could handle such a big production. Xu Ke actually hoped to reduce the cost to 100 million yuan.

After all, he spent 80 million on "The Legend of Zu". The higher the cost, the easier it is to make money.

If the market in Hong Kong hadn't collapsed, one million and a half wouldn't be worth it for him to spend.

But he will also invest in this movie.

Since he is also the producer, there is no need to be so serious about the director's fee.

In order to attract investment, Hao Yun returned to the capital.

I found the capital that I usually cooperate with, and first called to discuss it to see which capital is interested.

Then we invited interested investors to hold a meeting.

Producer Shi Nansheng helped introduce the details of the project, as well as market analysis, etc.

Xu Ke and Hao Yun, top directors from both the old and new generations join forces.

Hao Yun, An Xiaoxi, Zhou Xun, a fantastic cast.

The story is based on classic stories from classic IPs.

The special effects team is excellent, but they will not blindly be scapegoated just for the sake of gimmicks.

Action director Hong Jingbao is not only an action star, but also a top martial arts director.

He was the action director for films like "The Demon Cult Leader", "The Legend of the Condor Heroes: East is Red, West is West", and "Ashes of Time".

The last work he directed was Kung Fu.

However, halfway through the production, the film was returned by Stephen Chow and replaced by Yuen Woo-ping, which caused quite a stir in the circle.

No one has been found as a martial arts instructor for two years.

He is so big that even Stephen Chow can’t control him, let alone other directors.

However, Hao Yun is not worried about this.

Xu Ke has an independent status in the Hong Kong film industry, so there is no question of him being unable to suppress Hong Jingbao.

Hong Jingbao once played Baimei in "The Legend of Zu", a very classic film and television image.

A Hong Kong director, a Hong Kong martial arts director, and Hong Kong capital. Although there are no Hong Kong movie stars in the film, this movie is definitely a co-production and can compete for the Academy Awards.

There is indeed capital coming from Hong Kong, namely the movie king Yang Shoucheng.

Before starting, Hao Yun explained the situation.

On his side, Heidou Media holds 10%, Auntie Liu holds 10%, Jiang Wen holds 10%, and the newly established Anhao Film and Television also holds 10%. This is the first time Anhao Film and Television has made a move.

This 10% is 800 million.

It's no longer the small fights of the past.

It’s not that he doesn’t want to take more, it’s that he can’t afford it. 20% is 1600 million, and he can’t afford it even if he sells Hao Yun.

Most of the money I earned before was used to pay off the mortgage and for renovation.

But overall, Hao Yun still got 40%, becoming the largest producer of the film.

This at least represents an attitude, that is, Hao Yun has confidence in the movie.

Shi Nansheng is indeed eloquent, but no matter how eloquent she is, she is not as convincing as this 40%.

Shi Nansheng and Xu Ke also took 10%.

Xu Ke made more than this amount of money, but he was not sure how much he could earn from the movie.

With a cost of 80 million, the box office would have to be at least 200 million to make a profit. The film market in Hong Kong cannot be relied upon. The best it could do is to get 30 million Hong Kong dollars at the box office like "Baby Project".

Since Hao Yun and Xu Ke had both contributed money, the other investors no longer hesitated.

Huayi took 10%, Guangxian Media took 10%, Yinghuang took 10%, then Huaying took 10%, and Bona Pictures took 10%.

Both compare integers.

Some people want to take more, such as Guangxian Media and Berna, who even want to take over the remaining 50%.

However, Hao Yun needs Aunt Hua and Hua Ying to help fight against piracy.

These days, piracy is rampant.

If there were no piracy, a movie with a box office of 70 million would definitely be able to earn over 100 million.

The box office success of "Those Years" and "Whiplash" is closely related to the joint efforts of several capitals to fight piracy.

If it was Hao Yun playing by himself, he really had no other choice but to curse.

In order to integrate resources and jointly combat piracy, there is no choice but to select powerful film and television companies to cooperate with.

After obtaining the investment, Xu Ke went to work on the filming location and set building.

Fortunately, Gao Qunshu came to the set to help.

He can also provide some attributes to Hao Yun, and he is no stranger to anti-Japanese war films.

An Xiaoxi had an event to attend, so she stayed in the crew for a few days and then left.

As the weather got colder, all the outsiders left the crew.

When Hao Yun was bored, he would sit on the wall of the yard and play the erhu. His main exercise was "Erquan Yingyue". The crew members who played it frequently became depressed.

His erhu level is already very high.

When the time comes, you can just take a photo of the attributes with you and then go and take the tenth-level certificate.

If the system can reward a piece of music played on the erhu, he will put it in the new album.
