Looking down at the black screen cell phone, Yuan Hua's first reaction was that Yang Siwei's phone number was wrong.

Otherwise, why would you be scolded as soon as you hit it?

"Did you give the wrong call?"

Yuan Hua called Yang Siwei, but Yang Siwei did not dare to delay, so he checked it again and found that there was nothing wrong.

"That's right, why don't I ask his company to contact you."

Wu Jing has no agency for the time being, but he has his own studio, so the contact information is easy to find.

Five minutes later, Yuan Hua's cell phone rang, but it was still the phone call just now, Wu was shocked.

"Teacher Yuan, I'm sorry, I've called a lot of harassment recently, I've misunderstood."

"It's normal to understand."

"I'm so sorry. I'll treat you to apologize next time I encounter it. Is there anything wrong with you when you come to me?"

Yuan Hua had already had some guesses in his mind when he was looking for him at this pass.

"I heard you are going to shoot Wolf Warriors. I'm a little interested in this project. Can you talk about it?"

"Okay, I have time at any time." Yuan Hua was the first to come to the door on his own initiative. Wu Jing was happy and was too late: "When will I see you?"

Tomorrow is the opening ceremony, and Yuan Hua cannot go there. After the start of the filming, he will have more scenes and it will be difficult to take time out in a short period of time.

"I'm in Hengdian. There will be a start-up ceremony tomorrow and I can't get away. This is how you go to Yixin Film and Television to talk to Yang Siwei. She will tell me afterwards."

"Hengdian, I'm familiar with it. Do you think this is OK? I'll come to you tomorrow. Let's talk in person. You know, some things may not be explained clearly."

After spending so many years in the circle, Wu Jingtai knows what role the agent plays. They are all the masters who don’t show off their rabbits and don’t show off their eagles. They are very smart. If you take the initiative to come to work with them, you won’t take any advantage.

He now has something to ask for, so it is not a wise choice to directly find Yuan Hua's agent. God knows how much the other party will suppress the shareholding.

A few years ago, Langya was fucked, and he had a criminal record, so he might not want it after reading the script.

It would be better to bypass the broker and the company and directly contact the owner. After a meal, the matter might be done.

"Okay, when will I ask my assistant to pick you up?"

Unexpectedly, Wu Jing was going to come here in person, it seemed that he was really impatient.

"No, I know Hengdian. Just send me the hotel location."

...

"I wish Lao Jiumen a good start!!"

"Everyone has a red envelope, get it all!"

"You have received all the notices. Go back and have a break early and work will officially start tomorrow."

I chose auspicious time, burned incense, worshiped the gods, and took a symbolic photo, and the opening ceremony was completed.

At noon, Yuan Hua just returned to the hotel and saw Wu Jing waiting for him. He was straight and his suit was meticulous. I don’t know how long he had been waiting.

"Brother Jing didn't say anything in advance when he came. I've been waiting for a long time."

"Just come here, that, I ordered a table in the hotel. If you are not busy, let's have two drinks."

"There will be a show tomorrow, so I can't drink, but it's okay to have a meal together. I'm just hungry."

Miscalculated!

Thinking of the box of Moutai I just bought, Wu Jing felt distressed and planned to return it later.

In the hotel room, the two of them took a seat, but they didn't mention the serious matters.

"Last time Huang Xiaoming recommended the crew of Shapolang 2 to me, but unfortunately, if there was something wrong at that time, we could have worked together."

As he chatted, Yuan Hua talked about Sha Polang 2. At that time, he had an embroidered spring knife in his hand and refused Sha Polang.

Wu Jing was stunned: "Is that true? Which character he recommends? Could it be the male lead?"

He is the male lead in Sha Polang 2. If Yuan Hua comes, there will be no matter what he has to do.

"No, the second male lead."

"Oh, fortunately you didn't go. There are too many martial arts scenes, which can drive people crazy. You are hospitalized every few days, and it is not easy for Xiangjiang Tuaner to get along with... But we don't have the opportunity to cooperate. Isn't this the opportunity here?"

Wu Jing took the opportunity to take out relevant information about the battle against the wolf, as well as outlines, some scripts, shooting plans, etc.

The outline I gave Yuan Hua first, and then I started to fool him.

"I dare say that there are not many military-themed movies that are as exciting as me, so I will definitely be popular if I shoot them."

After glanced at it, Yuan Hua smiled and said, "A special forces? This subject is very common."

Similar to the special forces theme, the earliest popular one should be soldier assault, but the story told by the soldier assault is relatively wide, and it is said that it is a military theme.

The real special forces film and television drama must be starring him. I am a special forces soldier.

After I was a special forces soldier, the director has created several of the same themes in succession. The starring Wu Jing, I am a special forces soldier, is one of them.

Later, other directors followed suit, including more and more TV series from the Army, Navy, Air Force, and Special Forces.

"It's different, I'm a movie." Wu Jing was not embarrassed at all. He had encountered similar situations many times in these days.

Leaning on the table, Yuan Hua said slowly: "Tell me, what's the difference?"

"You'd better read the script first. If you don't like it, it's useless for me to say it."

Wu Jing knew that Wolf Warrior was not the best from a business perspective or a market audience, let alone the director or him, which was a flaw.

Otherwise, there wouldn't be so many investors who would refuse before.

If you want to impress Yuan Hua, you can't tell him about business, so you can only talk about scripts. Those businessmen don't understand scripts, Yuan Hua understands them.

As long as he thinks the script is good, he will naturally ignore a lot of things.

"Okay, let me see, don't mind if I smoke a cigarette?"

"Give me one too."

Leaving the dining table, Yuan Hua sat on the sofa in the private room and read the scripts. Wu Jing was absent-minded and his brain was running rapidly, thinking about how to deal with it after a while.

Ten minutes, twenty minutes, thirty minutes, forty minutes.

The food was already cold, Wu Jing leaned against the chair and smoked, and there was only rustling sounds in the room to read the script.

"Bang!"

Yuan Hua closed the script.

"I probably know the plot, to be honest, it's a bit cliché and has no novelty. I just bring some story plots from the series "I am a special forces soldier. I have a strong personal heroic idea."

Wu Jing's mouth shook, and his heart was cold.

"But some of the ideas are quite bold, such as the powerful drug dealers, border breakouts, etc."

Yuan Hua changed his voice, and Wu Jing was sweating coldly behind him.

"I have a question to ask. Your scene is so big, have you considered funding issues, helicopters, bazooka, heavy machine guns, tanks, right? It may be difficult to get back the box office."

Wu Jing breathed a sigh of relief. He was not afraid of Yuan Hua's asking, but he refused directly without asking.

"These are not problems. I have been in the army for more than a year before, and it is quite relevant. After the script was written, I consulted with the army. They are willing to borrow tanks and provide helicopter shooting."

"The troops occupy the resource shares?"

"I don't take it, I just support it, but we have to pay for the shells that have been knocked out."

Being willing to provide some props is already the greatest support there, and it is also the greatest effort he can do. Now it is only a shortage of money.

Nodded, Yuan Hua said calmly: "What is the budget?"

Finally talking about money, Wu Jing took a deep breath: "Thirty million."

"Is it enough?" Yuan Hua was puzzled.

It is no longer enough to make military-themed movies worth 30 million.

The budget of 30 million is basically a small-cost movie, and his old ninth party is still 50 million.

Wu Jing smiled bitterly: "The male lead is me, I can do without the pay, just change it to the box office sharing. Except for the villain, I want to invite Teacher Ni Dahong to play, and other roles will not be invited to stars."

"The actor's salary can be completely controlled within three million yuan. Including the salary of the crew, it is about five million yuan."

"What is a little more expensive is renting a shooting machine, post-production, and some special effects, and several explosion scenes."

Yuan Hua gave Wu Jing a thumbs up. He was a tough guy. The pay for a crew member could be controlled within three million. This was the first time he had seen him.

Apart from him and Ni Dahong, there is really no star.

No wonder none of the more than 30 companies have voted for him before. It’s not that the difficulty lies in the script and shooting, but that the actors have no traffic.

Wu Jing is so old, he is not very famous and has low traffic, and investors are worried that he can't support the box office.

To be honest, if it weren't for seeing his wolf warrior in his previous life, Yuan Hua would have been discouraged.

With a budget of 30 million yuan, putting aside the publicity costs and actor pay, the production costs can be as expensive as 20 million yuan. The theme is still a big street special forces soldier, starring Wu Jing. This lineup is a floppy rhythm no matter how you look at it.

"Have you considered the actor traffic issue?"
