Chapter 227 The Atmosphere Is Not Right
"Sister Guan, what do you think about this?"
"Boss, I have no opinion, but I have to tell you that the company doesn't have that much money now!"
“I mean, what if I have?”
When she heard Fu Luo's words, Guan Qingqing immediately began to think about it. When her boss talked to Wang Zhongjun before, she was actually always with her side, so she still fully understood what was going on here, but this matter...
After hesitating for a little while, Guan Qingqing finally expressed her true thoughts: "Boss, even if you have money, I think we should be more cautious. After all, this is a main theme movie, and the prospect is really hard to say. In addition, it is a bit ugly. The reason why Huayi promotes this project is completely to help Feng Xiaogang complete his 'dream'."
"For the sake of other people's dreams, I don't think we need to get involved in the sand dune entertainment. The input and production are completely unrealistic, and it can even be said that the gain is not worth the effort. If you really want to ask me what I think, then I will naturally object."
"That's how..."
He whispered softly, Fu Luo's fingers knocked on the chair again, and his thoughts were rumbling quickly. He really didn't expect that Wang Zhongjun came to the United States to find him because he was for the film "Assembly". He thought that the movie had been filmed, but he didn't expect that it had not been filmed yet.
Then, Fu Luo knew exactly what Wang Zhongjun was thinking, and there was also this main theme movie, just like Guan Qingqing said just now, a type of movie that will make people subconsciously frown when they hear it.
However, Fu Luo, who was foresighted, knew that the movie "Assembly" was still very good. Not only did he receive a lot of praise, but he also won numerous awards. Even the box office was not bad, it looked like about 250 million.
However, the cost of this movie is not low, with an investment of about 80 million yuan. The box office of 250 million yuan has just recovered, and at most it is a little profitable. At the same time, because of the genre of "Assembly", in addition to the mainland Chinese market, other regions and countries... that is really hard to describe.
This is exactly what Fu Luo has been struggling with, but he vaguely wants to join this movie. If he can get a few honors in China without losing money, that would be great.
He has won the Cannes Best Actor and the Blue Dragon Best Actor, but it is still blank in China. No matter how valuable the awards are, at least as a Chinese actor, if he can't even win a Chinese award, it's really unreasonable.
"Sister Guan, I am going to agree to Huayi's invitation to cooperate. I will find a way to deal with money. After filming the movie "500 Days with Shamo", I may have to thank you again!"
After a long time, Fu Luo made such a decision. In fact, if you think about it carefully, you will find that if you shoot this movie, you will gain a lot of invisible benefits. After having an experience in "Quick Chasing", he also understood that his arms can never twist their thighs and they cannot walk straight, so he will take a fork in the road, and it doesn't have to be blocked on the same road.
"Okay boss, do I need to reply to Huayi now?"
Hearing this, although Guan Qingqing was a little... But Fu Luo was the boss after all, and she couldn't say anything more. She understood her boss's temperament better. Once she made a decision, it was difficult to change.
"Uh, let's wait two days before talking about it!"
Although I have decided to join the movie "Assembly", I don't have to be too anxious to avoid being picked up by Hua Yi.
…………
When Fu Luo was struggling with the issue of "Assembly", Michael Bay was struggling with the matter of "Quick Chasing". He has found many film companies, and everyone has given him face. He directly put the movie in the "Green Light Committee". However, after hearing the additional conditions, the film companies lit up red lights, which made Michael Bay very depressed.
In fact, let alone these film companies, even Michael Bei himself is not optimistic about letting Fu Luo, a Chinese, play the leading role in "Quick Chasing", but Fu Luo just put forward such a condition and finally sighed. He felt that it was time to give up on this movie. Although it was a pity, this was the reality.
After thinking about it, Michael Bey decided to call Fu Luo. No matter whether it succeeds or not, he always has to give the other party a reply.
…………
"Hello, Director Bei, is there any good news to bring to me?"
On the set of "500 Days with Shamo", when Fu Luo was about to restart work, he suddenly received a call from Michael Bay. Without thinking, he could probably guess what might be "Quick Chase", but he didn't know if it was good news or bad news.
"Tao, I'm sorry, this movie may be out of the way!"
Michael Bei on the phone didn't hesitate too much and told Fu Luo the cruel reality directly.
"Uh... OK, Director Bei, I have actually expected this result. Although I am very sorry, it seems that it is the only one. But I still have to thank Director Bei for his trouble."
Although Fu Luo was a little disappointed, he was not particularly sad because he had indeed had such mental preparations long ago.
"NO, the matter was not done, you don't have to thank me. Hey, Fu, where are you now?"
After a sentence, Michael Bei seemed to have heard a vaguely hear many people speaking American English on Fu Luo. The other party is Chinese. Didn’t they stay in China? At this point, he asked curiously.
"Yeah, I'm making a movie in LA, what's wrong, Director Bei?"
Fu Luo was a little confused. Where else was there, did he have a dime relationship with Michael Bei?
"What, are you making movies in LA? What movies are you making? You won't be filming "Quick Chase" again?" As soon as he heard Fu Luo's words, Michael Bey was really curious.
"How is that possible? Director Bei, if it was filming "Quick Chase", I will naturally notify you that what I am currently shooting is just a small-cost love movie, and it is my personal investment."
There is nothing to hide about this, Fu Luo told Michael Bay directly.
"Oh, romance, or movie? Did you find the publisher?"
Hearing this, Michael Bei suddenly had a flash of inspiration, thinking that he might be able to try it out. Use this movie to see how Fu Luo’s potential is. It’s hard to say about the movie that has not been made yet, but if there is a movie, you can always watch it well, right?
"The publisher has not been found yet, and there is a plan to participate in next year's Sundance Film Festival."
Speaking of participating in the Sundance Film Festival, Fu Luo had already planned. After all, most movies have gone from this place to success, and the original "500 Days with Shamo" also took this path.
"Sundans, you have to wait until next year? I have a good idea here. Do you want to listen?"
"Okay, Director Bei said."
Fu Luo was not stupid either. After a change of mind, he quickly guessed some of Michael Bei’s intentions.
…………
Time passed, and soon came February 16th. Tomorrow was New Year's Eve. Fu Luo finally couldn't return to China to reunite with his family and friends. He could only meet everyone through videos, such as Qin Xiaoxin's girl, Jiang Ruotao who forced her to go to the lineup, as well as her senior brother, junior sister, two good buddies Hu Renzong, Ying Qiu, etc.
Of course, he would not forget to send New Year's greetings to his celebrity friends, Deng Zhao, Sun Li, He Jiong, Huang Lei, Yang Mi, Fan Bingbing, Huang Xiaoming, Cheng Long, Hu Ge, Liu Ye, Sun Honglei, Guan Xiaotong, Guan Shaozhen, Wang Gang, Wang Xiaoshuai, Zhang Yimou, Zhou Jielun, etc., and none of them were left behind.
At the same time, Fu Luo was also quite moved. Before he knew it, he had known so many stars, and he really felt like he was suddenly dreaming.
Then, "500 Days with Shamo" is about to be completed, and the filming will be successfully completed in one week at most.
In addition, there is another unexpected thing. It seems that today is Elizabeth Olsen's 18th birthday. When Fu Luo heard this news, he was a little surprised.
Of course, it was not surprising that today was the other party's birthday, but it was just surprising that Elizabeth Olson was only 18 years old, and he really couldn't tell from his appearance.
Regardless of whether the other party was 18 years old or not, Fu Luo was even more surprised that the girl actually invited him to dinner. He originally thought it was a birthday party, but when he came to the agreed place, he found that he was the only one.
"Tao, I have something to tell you. Do you want to hear it?"
"Uh, Elizabeth, what's your business?"
Seeing Elizabeth Olson who had drunk a lot of wine and had a simple face, Fu Luo was really hesitant, and always felt that something was wrong today.
Moreover, the girl poured herself a lot of wine when she was eating. Judging from the other party's feeling that she was choked from time to time, Elizabeth Olson should rarely drink, but she didn't know why she had to tormented herself like this today. Even if she had a birthday, she wouldn't have to do this?
...
Do a survey, whether to push Elizabeth or not, that kind of... a little entanglement!!!
