I'm almost a Muggle

"Yes, Shushan!" Lin Dong was very sure.

"Shushan, haha!" Xu Guai laughed twice, then laughed twice more, and praised: "You are really discerning, very discerning. Shushan is the best film I have ever made."

He didn't talk about Huang Feihong, nor did he talk about Swordsman, nor did he talk about New Longmen Inn.

Just talk about Shushan.

"I really enjoyed this movie."

Lin Dong thought to himself, if I could make this film with the same compensation as yours, and the compensation would be as thorough, I would like it more.

"But this movie is too expensive." Xu Guai got excited, but then quickly became depressed.

In 2001, he spent 100 million Hong Kong dollars and invited four Hollywood special effects companies to join forces. There are really few Chinese-language movies that can compare. Unfortunately, the loss was so miserable that he didn't even have the courage to start a sequel.

Originally he planned to make a sequel.

"Shushan" has a complete world view, and it will not be a problem to shoot a series.

The original work was serialized by Huanzhu Louzhu in Tianfeng Bao in Tianjin in 1932. By the turn of the 1940s and 1950s, there were fifty-five episodes and five million words!

What's even more frightening is that this is still a bad book.

Because when the author was about to continue writing, the current situation deteriorated drastically, and naturally he did not dare to continue writing like this, so after five million words, countless unsolved cases and stories were left.

Wait until it finally stabilizes.

All he could do was write a confession.

Finally he suffered a stroke and died.

He has never been in the mainstream of culture. In fact, not many people know about this great master with wild imagination, far less than those orthodox famous authors.

However, it was his "Shu Mountain" that directly influenced the development of Jin Yong and other new martial arts schools in later generations.

He is also the originator of modern fantasy fantasy.

This is truly a Grand Master level figure.

"It is inevitable to spend money on this kind of movie." Lin Dong also agreed with him. Who would make this without spending money?

The King of Wizards has personally taken action. Of course, it is impossible for millions of people to make a small fuss.

"How much money do you plan to invest in this movie?" This topic was so attractive to Xu Guai that he put Zhou Longxing aside and held Lin Dong tightly.

"Three to four billion. If it's not enough, invest a little more."

Boss Lin's system account currently has 450 million yuan, and he plans to invest all of it if he can. If it is not enough, he will wait for Zhang Sanpang's variety show to be settled next year and use that money to continue pouring money into it.

Zhang Sanpang will have two variety shows next year.

I'm afraid I will die too slowly!

"Cowhide!" Xu Guai walked back and forth in front of Lin Dong, feeling itchy and uncomfortable in his heart. How he wished that this director was himself.

In fact, he also thought about restarting the Shushan series with his own money after making money.

But the idea is beautiful, but the reality is cruel.

At his age, he no longer had the courage to risk everything.

He has a family and a living, and the more he earns, the more he spends. He has not saved much money in more than ten years.

"Hey, Teacher Lin Dong, Mr. Xing has called you to come over and try on clothes." The attendant over there held a big loudspeaker and shouted over here.

"Wait a minute, I didn't see us chatting." On this set, only Xu Guai dared to speak like this. The staff over there put away the loudspeaker and did not dare to speak.

Zhou Longxing glanced this way and continued to direct An Xiaotian to use the skateboard.

As a mermaid, he has no legs and walks slowly, so skateboarding has become a good means of transportation. An Xiaotian has the basics of skateboarding, but some moves do not meet the requirements of the star.

She can skateboard, know how to swim, has good acting skills, and fits her image. Lin Dong is finally sure that he has misunderstood this girl.

He really won this role by relying on his own ability.

Xuguai is still there, walking around like an ADHD child.

Lin Dong couldn't understand why Xu Guai was so excited.

Isn't it just a movie? It's still a blockbuster work. Even if the overseas rights are sold well, it still results in a total loss.

By the way, the American film studio that bought the overseas rights also suffered a huge loss.

"Dongzi, why don't you ask me to be the producer." Xu Guai couldn't bear it anymore.

I have walked back and forth in front of you so many times.

Why can't you be more proactive?

"That's okay. I need more advice from you then." Lin Dong originally wanted to refuse. After all, Xu Guai is a skilled director and could easily ruin his money-losing plan.

But then he thought that no one seemed to have more experience than Xu Guai on how to make Shushan lose money.

At this point, Xu Guai has confirmed to join this film.

After joining, Xu Guai became even more excited, and he began to discuss casting matters with Lin Dong.

"Who do you think is better to play Bai Mei?"

"I haven't thought about casting yet. After all, I haven't figured out the script yet, so I can't just remake it." Lin Dong was speechless. Does this mean that the emperor is not in a hurry and the eunuch is?

"I think Liu Qingyun is good." Xu Guai couldn't stop at all.

"Liu Qingyun? You're the best actor, you let him play a supporting role?" Lin Dong imagined Liu Qingyun's chubby face, with white hair and white beard in makeup, and it seemed that he really had something to say about it.

"How can Bai Mei be considered a supporting actor? In fact, Ayun also likes Shushan very much. He has asked me more than once in the past years when I will make a sequel. If I cast him, I guess he can do it for free." Xu Guai is known as the master in the entertainment industry in Hong Kong.

.

The status is evident.

"Well, if you hire him, you have to pay him as much as you should." Lin Dong thought to himself that it would be good to hire a movie star to act. At least he would be paid more.

"Who will play Xuantianzong?" Xu Guai started thinking about the next one again.

Naturally, Zheng Yijian and Gu Shaolong can no longer be used. Even if they reprise their roles, they will not be unable to perform them. After all, it has only been fourteen years, and handsome guys and beauties age relatively slowly.

It's just that anyone who remakes a previous film will try to avoid the original actors as much as possible.

"Xuan Tian Sect..." Lin Dong thought for a while, and he really didn't expect that there was a suitable candidate. If he had to choose a young person.

"Oh, Dongzi, you can do it yourself." Xu Guai looked Lin Dong up and down, wishing he could dress up Lin Dong with a set of clothes now to see what the effect would be.

Lin Dong finally understood why those movies produced by Xu Guai had an obvious Xu style.

How can you be a producer? You have more control than the director.

I didn't even tell you how much I would give you.

"Hey, did you make a mistake? Hurry up and put on makeup and change clothes. We have a lot to do today. We have to go see the venue later." Zhou Longxing couldn't stand it any longer.

You two are chatting so animatedly, do you take me seriously?

However, his violent temper on the set had to be tempered. After all, Xu Kai's status was respected and not much different from his. The two now have a friendship and help each other.

And Lin Dong is Kleist's boss, so he is no worse than the two of them.

"Master Xing, what do you think of Dongzi playing the role of Xuantian Zong if "Shu Mountain" is remade?" Xu Guai asked Zhou Longxing.

"Him?" Zhou Longxing rubbed his chin and thought seriously: "It feels pretty good and stylish."

Then he realized: "Sir, do you want to remake Shushan?"

"No, it's not me, it's Dongzi. He plans to remake "Shu Mountain" and he will be the director himself." Xu Guai pointed at Lin Dong.

"It's so cruel, it's too fast. You haven't even filmed a movie before. You can directly start a movie like this. If you have money, you can't pay like this. Otherwise, I will be your producer." Zhou Longxing had forgotten why he ran away.

Came over.
