Chapter 811 Status Quo
After reading the script of "The Devils Are Coming", He Zhu looked entangled and looked up at Guo Dalu: "Master Guo, your book is too sharp, right?"
He was excited, cringed and a little eager to try: "The story is indeed good, but if I can't take it well, I'll be laughed at if I'm laughing at it. If I'm done, it will probably cause a lot of controversy. That is to put me on the fire and roast it. My little body can't help but roast it like this. It will be cooked after a while!"
Guo Dalu looked at He Zhu with a playful look on his face: "Don't let me pretend. Just say you're going to shoot or not? If you shoot, take the script away. If you don't shoot, return the script to me!"
"Photo! Why not?"
He Zhu held the script in his arms, looking afraid that Guo Dalu would snatch it: "But I can shoot it, this investor must be you, Tianxi Film and Television can have a certain investment ratio, but the main investor must be you."
Guo Dalu smiled and said, "Damn it, why do I have to invest? Behind Tianxi Film and Television is Tianxing Group, which is rich and thick, and has a strong capital. With their investment as a guarantee, it is not much better than me?"
He Zhu shook his head and laughed, "Mr. Guo, Tianxi Group's face is probably not as good as yours. I think it's safer to invest!"
As one of the most famous directors in China today, he knows some inside stories that others cannot know. Guo Dalu's identity can be hidden from everyone, but the relevant departments cannot hide it from those who are interested. Although He Zhu cannot fully know Guo Dalu's specific identity, he knows that Guo Dalu must have a relationship that he does not know. Otherwise, it would be impossible to do so many things and still be able to lively in the entertainment industry. If it were ordinary people, who were as arrogant as Guo Dalu, they would have been killed countless times.
But now Guo Dalu is still in a glorious life. No matter what earth-shaking things he does, it seems that someone will take care of him. Many forces are taking turns to see Guo Dalu, and they may provoke such a evil spirit as Guo Dalu. You must know that so far, there have been many officials who have lost their hats and even been arrested in prison because of Guo Dalu.
Almost anyone Guo Dapao criticizes will be unlucky. As long as Guo Dalu fires a certain organization in the media, in a few days, the organization will either be banned or disrupted and reorganized, without an exception.
At this point, even people in the entertainment industry, which has a weak sense of smell, know that Guo Dalu's background is unfathomable.
So today, the investor of He Zhu proposed that this movie must be Guo Dalu. In this way, even if the filming was a bit sharp, I believe that during the review, the relevant departments will give themselves some tips, at least they can tell themselves what needs improvement.
Because sometimes, the movie is ready for review, but the review is always unsuccessful. As for why it is not passed, people are too lazy to tell you, and they let you figure it out for yourself. If you can't figure it out thoroughly, the movie will not pass the review, and it will be useless to be anxious.
But if someone with energy intervenes in it, the situation will improve a lot, and at least it will make you understand.
"Actually, if you don't talk about this movie, I will invest in it."
Guo Dalu glanced at He Zhu and laughed: "Old He, I know that you were surprisingly brave before. Why are you just shooting a movie now? Look at how nervous you are!"
He Zhu smiled bitterly and said, "You can't be afraid! You haven't experienced the fact that the movie review is stuck, right? If you experience it a few more times, you will have the heart to die!"
He sighed: "I took the movie abroad to participate in the exhibition ten years ago, but I was blocked for ten years and could not direct the movie. Do you know how miserable I am, my brother? I have a wife and children now, so I can't be too willful. The whole family is pointing at me to eat, drink and support me. If this movie is made, it is actually no problem not to be released. Anyway, with the TV script you gave me before, I will definitely not be hungry. What I am worried about is that if the movie is made, the leaders will be angry and ban me again, and I will have no place to cry!"
Guo Dalu smiled and said, "Don't worry, the leaders are much more enlightened now. At most, you won't let you pass the trial of a movie, and you will never ban your directing power!"
He patted his chest and promised: "Just put your heart in your stomach, there will be no problems!"
He Zhu said: "Okay, I believe you once!"
After sending He Zhu away, Guo Dalu shook his head and smiled. The current film review intensity has become more and more strict, which has led many filmmakers to pay great attention to the standards. In the past, the film works that were open and close to express their thoughts were rare. When making movies, it is best to make a fuss within the rules, always test the country's bottom line, which is boring for nothing.
He Zhu is an obvious example. Youth is rebellious. When you are old, you finally lowered your head slightly to reality. Fortunately, your backbone is still there, and the four words "excellent director" can still be afforded.
This person is also a tough guy. His previous works are full of explosive power and impact, which is very similar to Guo Dalu's shooting style. He is also a lawless and courageous person to try. It is because of this that he was banned for ten years.
However, it is easy to change the country and nature is hard to change. This guy just said that he is much more courageous. In fact, as long as he shoots a movie, he will immediately become bolder after entering the state.
The reason why Guo Da handed over this "The Devils Are Coming" to him was because he was attracted by the kind of talent he had. The movie was like a movie. The good one had a sense of energy. The text may be rough and the words and sentences were not refined enough. However, as long as there was that sense of energy, it was an excellent work.
On the contrary, the rhetoric of one piece is very gorgeous and dazzling, but if the spirit that runs through the entire book is missing, then no matter how gorgeous the sentences written in this piece are, it will be just a piece of garbage.
The same goes for movies, but also have the director's own style. Only by integrating the director's own spirit into his own works can the audience feel the director's sincerity.
As long as this guy He Zhu shoots a movie, he will definitely devote most of his efforts to create a story in his mind.
In fact, in Guo Dalu's view, China does not lack excellent directors, but it lacks excellent stories. Moreover, due to the national conditions, the restrictions on some subjects are too great, which has led to the retreatment of some directors. This is the main reason for today's literary and artistic circles.
Looking at the entire Chinese literary and artistic circle now, only Guo Dalu dares to shoot the movie he wants to shoot, and other directors have more or less such concerns.
Guo Dalu can't help with this kind of thing, so he can only look forward to the development of the times and changes in the rules.
Since he agreed to He Zhu's investment, Guo Dalu simply allocated 8 million yuan to He Zhu, and the right to invest in the current period.
In this movie, He Zhu couldn't find stars to play the leading role. He should be looking for students from the Drama Academy or some veteran actors to participate in this work. Most people can't take such a story at all.
Just like the "Beautiful Life" that Guo Dalu just finished filming, some young actors' acting skills are still not good after all, and only veteran actors can do it.
But this also has an advantage. At least the pay is not much. Just like Chen Shaoqiang, after filming the complete film "Beautiful Life", the total pay is only three million. He still thinks that Guo Dalu has given a little too much.
