776: Ten Thousand Movies

(sorry, friends, there is no update on the emergency business trip!! Preview, 10 updates tomorrow!!)

…………

For the first time, he faced the challenge of a strong opponent. Although he was very upset, Li Donglai was still very focused on participating in the post-production of the film "Fighting Boy Wande". After the final editing plan was officially completed, the celebration banquet held by Phantom for the "Sunshine Sisters Tao" will also be held as scheduled.

During this period, Li Donglai received a call from China.

Thank you, Zhang’s wedding is also an entertainment event. Although many fans have prejudices about the talent show stars from Hunan Satellite TV, it does not prevent their wedding from getting blessings. On that day, many celebrities in the circle went to support the show, and the Little Tigers almost gathered together. Because Li Donglai had previously participated in "Happy Camp" and said that he would attend the wedding, some media reporters were also very interested in whether Li Donglai would support their wedding. If it appeared, the entire wedding process would naturally be full of glory, and the reporters would also take the opportunity to ask the central figures of the most popular topics and their opinions on fighting challenges.

Li Donglai did not recommend attending other people's weddings, but it was just that time was really unstoppable. He was still busy in South Korea and could not appear on the scene.

But before the wedding, he still gave his own wishes, taking care of all the wine used in the wedding, and they were all authentic wines produced by Li Donglai in the Barcelona wine estate in Spain.

The wedding of the celebrity couple and the number of gift packs of guests at the event are naturally hot topics. Li Donglai himself did not come, but gave him authentic wine and reported some reports. This gift is not too conspicuous, nor does it lose its enthusiasm and sincerity. Thank you, Zhang and the others were very grateful for this and even called him to express their gratitude.

After busy work, the release dates of "Fighting Boys" and "The Furnace" are gradually approaching.

Phantom has been the only one in Korea in the past two years, with few works and always important. In addition, Li Donglai may appear at the celebration banquet this time, and the guests invited were not in the schedule, so they attended with great face.

After zombie, Li Donglai came out of Lin Yuner's house and came to the company early to ask about the celebration banquet tonight.

"Sunshine Sisters" has won 7.36 million viewing records. Kim Tae-hee looks in a good mood and has an unconcealed smile on her face. Suji, who plays one of the protagonists, is also happy. As long as there is no activity these days, she will run to the company and beside Lee Donglai if you have anything to do.

There are not many opportunities for the boss to take charge of the company personally. The company's employees do not know whether they are stimulated by the movies or feel the boss's aura in the company, and they are particularly enthusiastic and hardworking when working.

The work in the first half of the year is basically coming to an end, and the next thing is to prepare for next year.

Li Donglai has always arranged the project of the film in the company. It is precisely because of his outstanding vision that the Phantom has never failed. This time, An Shuzhen also gave him the excellent scripts recently included to him for a review.

"Donglai, do you have any interest?" An Shuzhen asked.

"All these are scripts that I came to you?"

An Shuzhen denied: "It's more than these, there are hundreds of scripts. Some of them are written by writers who come to seek cooperation, and some are scripts we pursue from well-known writers and screenwriters. There may be other companies participating in the pursuit. It's just that it's not decided yet. If there are too many, I guess you don't have time to read them one by one, so I eliminated scripts with irregular writing and insufficient story selling points. These are what I have screened after, do you want to see all the scripts?"

Li Donglai shook his head decisively, "Don't! It's enough to see so much."

He screened out two scripts and said, "These two are not bad, do you have any impression of them?"

An Shuzhen took it and read it. The title of the book read "Guanghai, the Man Who Becomes the King" and "Rogue of Thieves". She immediately understood and said, "The first one was the script submitted by the less famous writer Huang Zhaoyin. I watched it well, and it was a costume historical drama, which was very selling point. He was also very confident in his script. He also put forward conditions..."

"Oh?" Li Donglai was slightly interested, "Tell me."

"Because the protagonist plays two roles, one must choose an actor with both acting skills and popularity, and at least one actor with the top-star list."

Li Donglai said: "This is very ordinary. If you use idols to act, it will only be bad. If he doesn't ask too much, we can sign it first. The screenwriter is a very important position in the crew. If he wants, he can invite him to participate in the film production."

An Shuzhen nodded and said, "The Thieves Alliance was created by director Choi Dong-hoon. He had contact with CJ company, but because of the excessive investment, he could not make a conclusion for the time being."

Li Donglai was slightly puzzled and said, "I'm not very familiar with this name, Sister An. Can you introduce Cui Dongxun?"

An Shuzhen thought about it and organized the language and said, "I know Choi Dong-hoon. She is a very talented young man. She is a screenwriter, actor and director. She graduated from Xijiang University and is a student of the 15th period of the Korean Film Arts Institute. She participated in the movies include "Young Go to Heaven", "People at that time", "Romantic Family", "Seoul Robbery", etc. In 2004, she won the 25th Qinglong Film Award New Director Award, Screenwriter Award, and the 3rd Korean Film Award New Director Award, Screenwriter Award, and Screenwriter Award. She is a famous person."

"It is worth it for talented people to be proud." Li Donglai didn't mind Choi Dongxun's high standards and strict requirements. He was the same when he was filming movies. "His requirements may be very high for others, but you should understand it as long as you think about my level of filming. But not everyone can play with big productions. It uses big-name actors from Korea and Hong Kong to shoot together. If the control is not properly done, it will increase the cost dramatically, and there is a risk of investment failure..."

He paused and continued, "Since you have an idea, let's just ask everyone to talk together. Let's have a banquet tonight and just solve the matter."

"Okay, I'll send him an invitation."

An Shuzhen agreed.

Li Donglai thought about it and felt that it was not very safe. There were few such co-production movies in Korea. In the past, Koreans collaborated with Zhang Ziyi in a costume movie, which seemed to be selling well. And now the CJ reorganization is at the moment of ambitiousness. In addition, the script of "The Thieves Alliance" is not bad, so they might be moved.

"Sister An, just call now. I'll talk to him personally, which makes me more sincere."

An Shuzhen was slightly surprised, as if she was surprised that Li Donglai attached such importance to the script. Is this script that good? But it did not go against Li Donglai's intentions. She nodded and took out her cell phone to call Cui Dongxun.

...

In the cj company's film department, Choi Dong-hoon, wearing thick glasses and a messy beard, dressed in an artist and was negotiating with the Minister of Film Minister An Dong-sung in the minister's office.

"Director Choi Dong-hoon. According to your requirements, we have to invite at least five or six top stars, including the top actors in Hong Kong. Do you have to have this combination? The Hong Kong actors may not have such box office appeal in Korea."

Choi Dong-hoon frowned, "It's not five or six, but the top one. If divided according to the role, this thieves league must have at least ten main actors. Five or six is ​​not enough, Minister."

Anton Sung shook his head, "If you think it would be better than a Korean big production movie just by hiring an actor. What do you think the box office of the movie will end up being?"

Choi Dongxun was nervous. The box office of his best movie "The Boy Goes to Heaven" was only 3 million. Which one was obviously not the same as that of the movie. He roughly calculated and said a rough number, "At least 5 million people can be guaranteed."

"5 million?" Anton Sung looked at him expressionlessly, "After so many stars were invited, if the box office was less than 5 million, we would lose money. If it was only a level of 5 million, I think we could streamline the plot."

"Minister An, you have also seen the script. Every character has a very unique personality. I have been meticulous from beginning to end. I really can't save it anymore..."

He was persuading him with great thoughts, but the phone suddenly rang and the conversation was interrupted. An Dong-sung was slightly unhappy. Choi Dong-hoon took out his cell phone awkwardly and wanted to hang up the phone directly. But after seeing the caller ID, he suddenly became moved and stood up to say hello. "I disturbed Minister An, I'll answer the phone."

Anton Cheng nodded lightly and said no more.

Choi Dongxun was obviously worried about An Shuzhen, who was calling, and hurriedly pushed the door out and answered the phone.

"Hello. Senior Choi Dongxun, I am Li Donglai, I'm very happy to see your script! I'll ask if the copyright of the script is still in your hands? We Phantom booked a show at the Gangnan X Hotel tonight. If you have time, go to the celebration banquet together in the evening. We can just ask you about the script, how about it?" Li Donglai went straight in and sent him an invitation.

Choi Dongxun, opposite, was stunned for five seconds before he realized in surprise, "Oh, no problem. Is that right tonight? It's OK. By the way, I haven't congratulated you on your Phantom for making another big sale."

"Thank you, I hope we can work together. So, can we meet tonight? I will send you an invitation."

Choi Dongxun's heart suddenly became much more at ease, and she couldn't help but smile and said, "Okay, see you tonight."

After returning to the office, Choi Dong-hoon wanted to pack up his things, "Minister An, I'm sorry to bother you. I'll go back and think about it."

Anton Sung looked at him in surprise. The guy who was begging for a project just now was like this within a minute. He felt that it had something to do with the phone call just now, and he moved his mouth and was embarrassed to ask. At this moment, the phone rang again.

Choi Dong-hoon's cell phone has not been put back in his pocket. He picked it up and saw it was a phone call from Show Box (Soo Bo). His heart was shocked. Whatever this situation was, he had to gather in one day to call him. Show Box has a great status in South Korea. This company has mainly focused on releasing movies. The movies released include local Koreans and movies released in South Korea by countries other than South Korea. In recent years, he has also participated in film production. He did not consider Soo Bo at first, and did not expect to receive a call.

As he stood up, he was about to go out. Anton Sung had an idea and a smile appeared on his face and said, "Director Cui, you don't have to go out. You can just answer the phone here."

Choi Dongxun hesitated for a moment, and the phone in his hand kept ringing, afraid that others would wait for a long time, so he answered the phone.

"Minister Jiang... Yes "The Thieves Alliance" is still in my hands... When will we meet, tonight? I'm afraid it won't work... Yes, the Phantom has sent an invitation."

Anton's heart broke out, Phantom?

This word seemed like a calming pill, instantly attracting all his attention. Li Donglai's sunshine was beyond doubt. The movies he invested in had never failed, whether it was Hollywood movies, Korean movies or Chinese movies. If the Phantom had taken a fancy to it, I'm afraid there was something extraordinary.

He was anxious and stood up from the comfortable seat with his big belly and poured Choi Dongxun a cup of coffee.

"I'm disturbing you, Minister An, I'll go back first."

"Ah——" Anton Sung was stunned, "Just leave like this? Did Phantom promise to launch a project to shoot? Choi Dongxunxi, we CJ have a good production environment. No matter how good the Phantom is, we are always an outside company. Why not leave us and discuss it?"

Choi Dongxun struggled violently, but asked, "Can all the conditions I put forward meet?"

Anton Shou was suffocated and grinned, "It's not your first day to make a movie. Many things need to be discussed slowly. I believe everyone will have a compromise."

Choi Dong-hoon sighed, "Okay, I will contact the minister." After that, he hurriedly left.

"Oh, Choi Dongxun, everything is easy to discuss-"

Anton Sung slapped the table hard, and the secretary hurriedly ran in, "Minister, do you have any instructions?"

"Will the Phantom hold a celebration banquet tonight and help me get an invitation, and I will say I will visit in the name of CJ company?"

"Yes, Minister."
