185 Detective Chinatown
During the filming of "Wolf Warrior", Bao Qiang performed very hard and did have the talent for making movies.
After several months of contact, Wei Xun was very satisfied with this honest and coquettish assistant director.
It is precisely for this reason that he decided to take out the script "Detective Chinatown" to Bao Qiang.
This movie has a funny + detective suspense style, and the plot is not complicated. It mainly revolves around two male protagonists, Tang Ren and Qin Feng.
That's right, this is a movie with two male protagonists.
In addition to being a director, Bao Qiang is also suitable for one of the male protagonists of the story, Tang Ren.
"Mr. Wei, what do you mean is to let me direct and act?"
Hearing Wei Xun's words, Bao Qiang was shocked: "Are you sure?"
In fact, the movie called "Shame Gen" was released during the National Day holiday was directed and acted by Bao Qiang.
But that is an independent movie made in a small workshop. Thankfully, it is a blessing to be released in the cinema. Now Wei Xun not only let Bao Qiang be the director, but even wants him to be the male lead!
The leap among them is too big.
Wei Xun looked at him in disbelief and teased: "Why, aren't you happy?"
Happiness came too suddenly, and Bao Qiang felt a little dizzy: "This... Then, Mr. Wei, how much is this movie invested?"
Wei Xun thought for a while and said, "It's about 80 million."
Bao Qiang's hand trembled with the script and quickly threw the script back, just like holding a time bomb, and said in horror: "No, no, there are too many, I dare not answer."
This excitement even made my hometown dialect come out.
Wei Xun was stunned.
He took out all the 80 million investments and the script he wrote, and just waited for Bao Qiang to nod, and the film could be launched, but he never thought about a problem, that is, Bao Qiang would not take on this project.
Bao Qiang, who was born in his early thirties in the countryside and was honest, had his first idea for 80 million yuan to invest. It was not that he would finally develop, but that if he missed the film, he would not be able to afford it.
Half an hour later, the Medal Media Conference Room.
Wei Xun, Mao Bin, Zou Min and Dong Zhen sat at the conference table in front of each other, while Bao Qiang sat far away in the corner of the conference room without saying a word.
The atmosphere in the conference room was a bit weird.
Originally, the medal of the "Detective Chinatown" project was ready to start, but Bao Qiang was unwilling to accept this script, which made things change again.
Wei Xun had to bring several department directors over to discuss countermeasures.
After a while, seeing that the rest of the people present had no intention of speaking, Zou Min had no choice but to say helplessly: "Director Bao, Wei always trusts your ability to give you this script. Moreover, he knew that you had not made a big investment movie and drew a storyboard script for you in advance. After "Wolf Warrior", he would also go to "Detective Chinatown" to be the producer to help you take care of it."
Cultivating a good director is definitely much more difficult than cultivating a good actor.
According to Wei Xun's idea, he escorted Bao Qiang in "Detective Chinatown". When it came to "Detective Chinatown 2", he let Bao Qiang go and filmed it himself.
After filming two movies in a series, Bao Qiang will definitely be able to gain a foothold in the film industry and become a great director who can take advantage of medals.
But Bao Qiang didn't think so.
"Sister Zou, Mr. Wei, I really don't dare to answer."
Bao Qiang said this and suggested: "The Wolf Warrior" will end in more than a month. I will first apply to withdraw from the crew and prepare for "Detective Chinatown" for President Wei. After President Wei finished filming "Wolf Warrior", he would seamlessly join the "Detective Chinatown" group. I will continue to be the deputy director for President Wei."
Hey, he is quite good at making arrangements.
Wei Xun thought this would be fine. At worst, after the filming of "Detective Chinatown" was finished, he would throw another suitable series of movies to Bao Qiang.
The first movie series was indeed very small, and it was an absolute small production, which was quite suitable for Bao Qiang to shoot it with his hands and feet.
"Okay, then I'll agree first. I originally planned to give this movie to you. You don't want it yourself. Don't regret it then."
Wei Xun glanced at Bao Qiang and said, "I'll give it to you the role of Tang Ren. As for another young actor, Qin Feng, Sister Zou, you recently asked which young actor has a suitable young actor who is handsome and has a good acting skills."
After he finished speaking, everyone looked at each other.
Wei Xun raised his eyebrows: "Is there any problem?"
"There's a problem." Bao Qianghan, who had just been hiding far away, smiled and sat over, saying, "Mr. Wei, I'm thinking, you're just a young man."
A burst of laughter suddenly came from the conference room.
Wei Xun said angrily: "No, I plan to transform at the moment, and it is not suitable to return to film such a role."
Bao Qiang scratched his head when he heard this, but said nothing.
"Mr. Wei, I think you can actually take it. Although I didn't go to the scene during the filming of "Wolf Warrior", I have heard from Sister Zou how difficult it is to make you. It is necessary to transform into an action movie, but it is also in a hurry. Could it be that after the filming of "Wolf Warrior", you still have to continue shooting an action movie to compete with your body?"
Dong Zhen, who has been silent, said: "If you change to a relaxed movie, you can relax and relax. And you are now at the age of suitable for filming such characters. If you don't film now, you will have no chance to film as you get older."
Wei Xun frowned, obviously thinking.
Dong Zhen looked up at Mao Bin.
So Mao Bin coughed lightly and said with a reminder: "Brother Xun, there is not much money in our account. We have to take out 80 million to shoot "Detective Chinatown" and we must get a reward, otherwise it will be as the media said when we criticized us. The medal may be broken in the short term. If you come to film, at least we will all be at ease."
Wei Xun said helplessly: "So you have agreed to let me take on this movie, right?"
In fact, after filming several profitable commercial films in Wei Xun's plan, he wanted to transform into action or drama films to lay the foundation for future awards.
After all, there are movies that have won both box office awards and awards.
But Dong Zhen said right, it was really tiring to keep shooting action movies.
Moreover, the "Detective Chinatown" series has a good reputation. The male lead Qin Feng is a very easy-to-control character. Just think that after filming "Wolf Warrior", go abroad to relax and film "Detective Chinatown".
"The main reason is that you are afraid that you will put too much pressure on yourself. If you fall down, how can our group of people hold on?"
Zou Min smiled and said, "Then it's decided that you will be the director of "Detective Chinatown" by Mr. Wei, Director Bao, as the deputy director, you two will take over the two male protagonists respectively. For "Wolf Warrior", you will be the hard work of Mr. Wei, you can control it yourself. I will ask Bao Qiang to lead the team to Chinatown in T Country and pull up the venue first."
"OK."
Wei Xun thought about it and said, "As for the heroine A Xiang, you can go to Tianguang Media to find a suitable actress. She is beautiful and charming, and her acting skills are reasonable."
Since we have become partners with Tianguang Media’s access channel, we will also give the favors we should give.
After all, one time and another.
So the movie "Detective Chinatown" was finalized.
Unlike the last time "Wolf Warrior" announced that it was a high-profile official announcement in order to compete with the Beijing Film Festival, this time, the "Detective Chinatown" project was approved, and the medal was not notified of any media.
But the media itself is a message broadcaster, and investment projects such as medals cannot be hidden.
