Chapter seven hundred and forty second strange movie
Du Caige no longer comforted Liu Zifei bitterly.
Anyway, whether she has confidence or not, the film will continue to shoot.
You can't stop shooting when you're not confident.
Even if she is not confident enough, she will shoot a little more cautiously and a little more refined, which is not a bad thing.
Even if there are some problems with her filming, Du Caige will personally check and edit in the end.
He has the confidence to turn the corrupt into the miraculous.
What's more, Liu Zifei's photos are not necessarily bad.
She was born in a professional class, has sufficient foundation, and at the same time is very spiritual, and has learned a lot from him in the past two years.
Although on the surface the two were friends and peers, Liu Zifei even confessed to him that he was pursuing him.
But both of them knew that Liu Zifei was actually his proud disciple, taught by singer Du Cai.
"Can the filming be completed this month?" Du Caige suddenly asked her.
Liu Zifei replied immediately: "Yes, it is in the final stage now, and it will be all over by the end of October. According to the original plan, it will be released in the latter half of the year and the summer release. The current progress is keeping up."
"But I... what if I ask for an early release?"
"When is it early?"
"April, May, it's not completely decided yet. And, don't tell anyone else, keep it a secret for now."
Liu Zifei did a quick mental calculation, "This... I can do it, but it will be a bit rushed, and I'm not sure if the quality can be guaranteed. Why do you want to advance it? Isn't the summer season bad? Be careful that my films are not competitive enough, Being beaten up by someone during the summer vacation?"
"That's not the reason. Besides, let me tell you, it's very possible that the promotion will be rushed, and even only a few days in advance. In short, do as I say, it's a favor among friends, how about it?" Du Caige laughed.
Promoting only a few days in advance will seriously affect the box office of the movie 100%.
And a movie with a total investment of 200 million yuan, if it is affected by a little, it is a large amount of real money.
Of course, Liu Zifei knew very well that this young and handsome guy in front of him was not short of money.
However, as his debut on the big screen, it is such a big production. If the box office data is not good, it is likely to affect his reputation and even drag down his career.
But Liu Zifei didn't mean to refuse at all.
Also did not break the casserole to ask to the end.
Liu Zifei rolled his eyes at him: "You said so, how could I be so embarrassed to refuse?"
After all, Du Caige is an investor and a boss. If he is determined not to talk about it, she can't force it.
It's better to stop in moderation, don't make fun of yourself.
What's more, deep down in her heart, it was not that she was embarrassed to refuse, but that she was unwilling to refuse and could not refuse.
When she found Du Caige and hoped that he would invest in making a movie for him, he not only approved the production budget of 90 million, but also filmed such a good script in front of him.
For newcomers, this is an unheard of treatment.
that time,
Liu Zifei decided, although she couldn't promise her, after all, her tutor didn't allow it, but it was definitely necessary to go through fire and water for him.
"I won't ask you why, I will only try to complete what you have explained. If nothing else, the funds must be sufficient, otherwise the quality will be seriously affected."
"I know, if the company doesn't approve, I will pay for it personally."
"It's almost the same." Liu Zifei was satisfied.
Du Caige didn't explain to Liu Zifei until he left, why he took a huge risk to advance the release time of "Painted Skin".
And he also solemnly stated that it must be kept secret, and the outside world must think that the film will still be released in the summer, and then make a surprise attack and release it in a hurry without spreading the publicity.
Logically, this makes absolutely no sense.
But Du Caige naturally has reasons to do so.
And he didn't just choose "painted skin".
In fact, he picked several movies.
Yu Shan's new work "Charlotte Trouble".
There is Meng Zhaolong's "Tang Detective 2".
There are also low-budget movies for three new directors, "Nightclub", "People Are On The Road", and "33 Days of Broken Love".
It's all here on Earth, movies that have proven themselves.
Du Caige made a secret request that these films must be released in April-May next year.
Of course, in reality, it's unlikely that all of these films were released at that time.
Du Caige will make choices and make choices.
Anyway, he will follow up on these movies, and then he will make a set of combos according to his needs.
Not just these few.
In fact, he is going to let Warner Bros. Pictures start working on a few movies right away. There are big productions and small costs, but they all have one requirement: to be ready for release by April-May next year, as long as he gives an order, can be shown.
As for why...
a week ago.
Just after getting off the plane, the "Seven-colored Flower" Park in Xicheng District, Magic City.
Under a Gallia sycamore, several pots of cockscomb bloomed brightly.
"Is it necessary to connect with the underground organization?" Du Caige said helplessly.
Li Muyan said seriously: "The sense of ritual is very important. And..."
She stuffed several "Wulin" posters into the Du Cai singer.
"what is this?"
"sign."
Du Caige looked at her speechlessly. Although Li Muyan was a little nervous, she couldn't help looking back, "Please... sign."
Du Caige spread his hands: "Give me a pen!"
Li Muyan took out a pen and handed it to him as if she had just woken up from a dream.
Du Caige signed it and returned it to her without asking what it was for.
"Okay, is the ceremony completed now? Let's talk."
Li Muyan happily put away the stack of signed posters and cleared her throat, "I have been paying attention to Kyriad's business this year. This company usually participates in the distribution of some film and television works. Most of them are issued in cooperation with certain companies in our country in Dahua, and there are big ones and small ones. It seems normal. But a few days ago..."
This girl seems to have been trained in the refresher course that founded the Chinese website, and it always makes people want to beat her out of context.
Du Caige took out a coin from his pocket,
Li Muyan asked him strangely, "What is this for?"
"Put a coin, so the call won't be interrupted."
Li Muyan bowed her head awkwardly: "Uh, I'm sorting out the language."
"Simply put, okay?"
"Well," Li Muyan thought for a while, "to put it simply, if Kyriad wants to release or cooperate with others to release a movie, it usually doesn't come out too much in advance. For example, the movie released in September will probably be released in May or June. We'll make plans from the start. But..."
Seeing that Du Caige was about to put in coins again, Li Muyan didn't sell anything, and quickly said: "But I found that on the computer of the general manager, I was browsing a document, which mentioned a movie, which is going to be released in April-May next year. Tentatively named 'Extrajudicial Fanatic Li Ang'."
"I checked the Internet and found out that the film is still in the preparatory stage and has not officially started shooting."
"I investigated again, and found some very strange places based on the aggregated information. For example, the director of this film is called Luigi Costa. I searched the Internet for a long time to find some information about him. He has made two small-budget films, and is considered to be of a certain level in the small circle, but he is not well-known and ordinary."
"The cost of the film, the announced budget is $7 million."
"And I hired a few big stars, each of which is a candidate for the best actor and actress, that is, was nominated for the best actor and actress in the Oscars but did not win. It stands to reason that each of these stars is paid more than 7 million US dollars. . For example, the actor Tom Reeds, who was paid $18 million for Doomsday, after taxes."
"Do you think it's strange that these actors have all accepted pay cuts to take on the film?"
Du Caige didn't make a statement, just nodded, or gestured to let Li Muyan continue.
"Also, the producer of this film is an independent film company. This company is very strange, all its previous films, released in Dahuaguo, were made by Kyriad. And all its films , all have one characteristic: small cost, high return.”
"I saw a discussion on the forum of Stars and Stripes, saying that this company is likely to be involved in money laundering. Because some of the movies they made are not really good, but the box office is surprisingly high, which is surprising. Someone broke the news that some of the movies were When it was released in some countries, the reported box office was very high, and the attendance rate was almost full, but the audience who actually paid for admission found that the movie theater was empty. For example, in our country, the control in this area is not particularly strict."
"and also……"
After she finished talking a lot, her mouth was dry, Du Caige said: "Okay, I understand. You can go back and package these materials and send me a copy."
Li Muyan pondered: "This is no problem... But then, what's the point of our meeting this time? If I knew I could send you an email directly."
Du Caige glanced at her: "I still want to ask you this question. You insisted on meeting."
