Chapter 438 (2/2)

In the future, there are countless directors who dare to make a movie as soon as they come up with any idea of bullshit. The last thing they make is so ragged that it can't be called a step-by-step movie work. A real good director, a story, a scene, or even a thought in his mind for many years, can only make it out after everything is done. This kind of guide The films produced by acting are of high quality.Li Mu asked again, ”why is it called” thief among thieves ”

Ning Hao scratched his head: ”this is not to borrow some light from mission impossible...”

Li Mu nodded and smiled, but he thought about it. In fact, he had expected Ning Hao and his crazy stone before. Based on Li Mu's psychology before, he didn't want Ning Hao to shoot crazy stone so early, because he was worried that Ning Hao was not mature enough now, and that Huang Bo, the five billion movie emperor in the future, was not mature enough. But from the script, Ning Hao is now I'm very familiar with the overall context of crazy stone. I should have been prepared for it. As for Huang Bo, if the acting is not in place, it can be adjusted, which is not very important.

So, Li Mu finally expressed his opinion on the script: ”the script is very good, the black humor is dealt with in the style of Guy Ritchie, and you have successfully localized this style. I think this film can be made.”

”Really?” Ning Hao asked excitedly, ”can you really shoot it?”

Li Mu nodded and said, ”it's no problem to shoot. First, tell me what your budget is.”

Ning Hao instinctively wanted to say 23 million yuan, but considering that his boss is a super local tyrant, he plucked up his courage and held out five fingers and stammered, ”five Five million... ”

Li Mu waved his hand: ”how can five million yuan be enough for such a good book? Let's make a tentative plan of 20 million yuan!”

”Two Ten million... ” Ning Hao's hand trembled and knocked down the beer cup in front of him. He didn't care if the beer was spilled on him. He stared at Li Mu and asked: ”boss, aren't you teasing me?”

Li Mu said with a smile, ”of course not to tease you, 20 million budget, while retaining the space to increase to 30 million.”

Ning Hao said with some trepidation, ”boss, the idea of this movie doesn't need such a high budget at all Low cost production is enough... ”

Li Mu smiled and said in a big way, ”of the 20 million, 10 million are the remuneration of a king of heaven actor.”

Ning Hao shakes his hand repeatedly: ”no need, no need, this kind of small cost black comedy, how can we need Tianwang level actors to join in...”

Li Mu waved: ”there must be a first-line actor to participate in order to have box office appeal. This is the market demand, unless you don't want to make money.”

Crazy stone was a box office black horse in 2006, but it was only 23 million. In the same year, the box office of the movie ”a city full of gold” was close to 300 million. The box office of the movie ”Banquet” was 130 million and the box office of the movie ”Huo Yuanjia” was 100 million. Compared with them, the movie ”Crazy Stone” can only rank in the 20th place of the box office of that year.

If Li Mu remembers correctly, at that time, the media praised ”Crazy Stone” and even CCTV news named the small cost comedy film, but even so, its box office was only 2300. The reason is very simple: Directors and actors are not famous.

The box office of domestic films is closely related to the directors and cast. If the directors and actors are not famous, the best films, such as crazy stone, but the worst films made by famous directors and actors also have market guarantee, which is fan effect.

If crazy stone is put in 2015 or 2016, it's still the same lineup, I'm afraid the box office will not be less than 2 billion, but in 2006, it's only 23 million, and it's only on the premise of increasing many fans of tap water, that's why Li Mu doesn't want him to repeat the same mistakes. If he wants to do it, he's going to do it.

Rather, Ning Hao felt a little unsure because of Li Mu's promise of two to thirty million yuan. He said: ”to be honest, I don't think any of the roles in this movie are suitable for the first-line stars, because they are all very grounded roles, so...”

Li Mu said with a smile, ”I think that the international robber from Hong Kong is very suitable for finding a Hong Kong first-line actor to play, such as Andy Lau. If he comes to play, he doesn't even need dubbing, so he uses his Hong Kong Mandarin accent to perfectly fit the needs of the characters in the script.”

Ning Hao wiped his sweat and said, ”in fact, I'm going to arrange a Hong Kong actor for this role, but I think it's enough to find an angry Hong Kong actor...”

Li Mu waved his hand and said seriously, ”you can't think about it like this. From the role itself, it's true that every role doesn't have to introduce superstars, but if we think about the market, we have to have enough attention points.”

Li Mu said: ”in addition, I think you have the role of thief boss's girlfriend. You can think about Tang Wei. She's our contracted actor now. You can let her try to appear in the audience. There's Zhang kexuan. He's a first-line star now. Maybe he's also a guest star. There aren't many plays, but at least when we publicize it to the outside world, we will You can use him as an article. As for Dewey, there is no suitable role for her. ” (to be continued. )
