His laughter made Lin Qingxia very angry.

So he had to curb his laughter and instead whisper to coax her.

She also knew that she shouldn't be angry on an occasion like this, so after seeing him "lowing his head and admitting his mistake", she no longer had a tense face, but showed a smile.

But her smile seemed somewhat fake to him.

Obviously, although she was not angry on the surface, she still had a knot in her heart.

So he helped her sit down in a chair in the corner. There were naturally many chairs in the theater, so the two of them easily found a place far away from everyone. In addition, Lin Qingxia was pregnant, and everyone thought he was taking care of her and didn't want to be disturbed!

But in fact, he was just looking for a space where he could say something to her.

"Okay, don't be angry! You know, not every beautiful woman, I will hook up. Obviously, she is not my dish!"

Only he can speak such words so righteously in front of women.

"Then you smiled so 'kind' at her!"

She said the last two words with gritted her teeth. Obviously, her inner thoughts were not as sunny as her smile on the surface.

He laughed and whispered in her ear: "This woman, I know she is indeed quite famous in the mainland. But because she is famous, I have also heard some news and comments about her, as well as some things. She is not from the capital, but in order to have a Beijing household registration and marry a Beijing man, she just divorced that man two years ago..."

"..." Lin Qingxia stared at him blankly, blinked, and finally snorted: "A woman like this, are you still interested in her?"

He raised his index finger, shook at her, and said, "I have to correct it here. She is interested in me, not me,! You know the charm of your husband. But you can completely let one hundred and twenty hearts go, I can't touch this woman."

This is the truth, because that woman is too utilitarian and not the type he likes.

As for Liu Xiaoqin's interest in him, this kind of thing seems to him too normal. How many women think of flying up to the branch and turning into phoenixes?

In the eyes of countless people, Mr. Wu is the sycamore tree.

"Axia, you're fine, right?"

Seeing Wu Cheng sitting in the corner talking to Lin Qingxia, Deng Lijun and Zhong Chuhong both came over. They thought that something was wrong with Lin Qingxia or had a fetal aura.

Lin Qingxia felt a little embarrassed when she heard this.

Wu Cheng smiled and said, "It's nothing! I told her not to come, but she insisted on coming. She still felt tired when she came!"

After hearing this, Lin Qingxia couldn't help but give him a blank look, but she didn't reveal the lie. After all, it was a lie for her. She didn't want them to know that she was jealous again.

Deng Lijun smiled and said to Wu Cheng: "Then I will stay here to accompany Axia! Director Xu seems to have something to do with you!" She said, and signaled in the other direction.

In that direction, Old Monster Xu was nodding at Wu Cheng.

Wu Cheng got up and walked over, smiled and said, "Is "Shushan" finished?"

Originally, the movie "Shushan" was released last year. Although it hurts the box office, it was also nominated at this year's Academy Awards.

However, in this time and space, due to his intervention, the movie "Shushan" has not been released at this time, or in other words, it is still in the later stages of production.

Sure enough, Old Monster Xu smiled and said, "This drama is divided into two parts. In fact, it has been completed a long time ago, but the post-production has not been completed. However, it is difficult for the special effects department to copy the renderings you gave me before. The effect may not look that good!"

Wu Cheng smiled and said, "If I could really copy those renderings completely, I would be surprised. This result was as expected. It doesn't matter if it could produce some effect."

After pausing, he said again: "Of course, this is not that I don't value special effects, but that the drama "Shushan" can be said to be another manifestation of the Chinese mythological drama. I believe you have also watched the previous episodes of "Journey to the West". There are some special effects that seem very simple, but the audience is interested in watching it. Why? Can those special effects really compare to "Star Wars"?"

"So, the most important thing is the plot of the movie." Wu Chengzhen said: "Since the film has been completed, when editing, I hope you don't ignore the plot because of the pursuit of picture effects. This is actually the most important thing."

Old Monster Xu nodded and finally said a little embarrassedly: "Boss, that, the production fee..."

"Do you want to invest additionally?" Wu Cheng glanced at him sideways and said, "I remember that this "Shushan" has invested 50 million Hong Kong dollars!"

Old Monster Xu smiled bitterly in embarrassment and said, "But, the upper half of it, that is, the shooting and the special effects of the half, have cost more than 40 million. If the special effects of the second half are completed, it will probably have to be added to two to three million! This is still the result of some places where special effects can be reused. For example, the 'start' place during fighting."

A movie worth 40 million Hong Kong dollars is definitely the specifications of a blockbuster during this period. This has not added the later promotional costs and copying costs.

The copy fee will not be mentioned for now. After all, this cannot be considered the production cost. It is only when the account is settled with the theater chain in the later stage. Generally speaking, the investment in a movie that people talk about generally refers to the shooting cost and publicity cost.

This movie obviously needs to be released simultaneously in Southeast Asia. Europe and the United States probably have to wait, after all, we have to see the effect first.

Otherwise, you might lose a lot of money.

If the publicity costs in Southeast Asia are added, it will probably cost 50 to 60 million.

A movie is 50 to 60 million. If you want to recover the cost, if the ticket store is only in Southeast Asia, the pressure to recover the cost will be great.

Original time and space, how much did Jiahe invest when investing in this film?

Wu Cheng was not very clear, but he believed that it should be about 20 million. As a result, the movie was defeated directly in Xiangjiang. It is conceivable that Jiahe’s pressure to recover costs.

Now, the cost of this movie has tripled. What does this mean?

Of course, this may not be true. After all, when filming, the plots of the two previous and second films were filmed together. The shooting only took more than 10 million yuan, which was equivalent to a movie of about one million yuan. In this case, a lot of the main creators took away the pay.

For example, in this drama, Lin Qingxia's salary is one million, while Zheng Shaoqiu's salary is one million. This price is less than Zhou Run's three million.

Zhou Run's three million yuan was the pay for filming Hong Kong films. If he was filming an external film, his pay would have increased by three or four times, but so far, no external films have been found to appear in him.

I have to say that this is actually quite embarrassing.

If this drama was not filmed in the mainland, the cost of shooting would probably have to be increased by another two to three million per movie. After all, many people in the mainland are really not very high.

Even though the crew has raised their salary by three or four times, it is still very low.

Think about it again, Old Monster Xu has been in the mainland and Western Shu for so long, and he has taken a large group of people to shoot in full swing. He only spent less than 20 million yuan every day. It is true that he doesn't know how to save money. Thinking about his expenses when filming "Shaolin Temple", Wu Cheng was embarrassed to say that Old Monster Xu had wasted it.

"What do you say when you go to the company?"

The reason why I asked this is because of this matter. If Old Monster Xu can get a satisfactory answer from the company, then there is no need to come to him again.

Old Monster Xu originally wanted to complain, but thought that the two vice presidents of the company were the wives of the master in front of him, Old Monster Xu had to swallow the strange words he wanted to blurt out.

Then he said, "The company is only preparing to approve 10 million, and ask me to save some money."

After pausing, he said again: "But, you can save a little anything else, but those special effects... If you really save it, the effect will be much worse."

Wu Cheng nodded and said, "I understand this. Let's go to the company to find me tomorrow!"

Although he also felt that it was normal for special effects to invest additional investment. However, since the two wives were in charge of the company and gave Xu Laoqian such an answer, he had to go back and listen to his wives' ideas before he could make a decision. After all, he could not just listen to Xu Laoqian's one-sided words.

After communicating with Xu Caixian for a while, I saw several directors coming to say hello, including Fang Yuping, who is also very popular this year, but also the old director Li Hanxiang.

I exchanged some filming experiences with these people, and time flies.

In the evening, the award ceremony began.

It was still opened by "Light", and the organizer seemed to really consider this song as the theme song. However, this year it was not Jacky Cheung, but Tan Yonglin.

Because Tan Yonglin is so popular, many people even compared him with Leslie Cheung again. Why do you say "re"? That's because of the original time and space, these two people have always been regarded as opponents by their fans. In the end, Leslie Cheung was "forced" to withdraw from the music scene.

From this we can see that Leslie Cheung’s mind is indeed very sensitive.

But now, Leslie Cheung has a very good mentality. He has a son and a strong wife at home. He is a "little man".

If you have a calm mind, it doesn’t matter what you see.

Then the host emcee Tsang Chi-wei, Zheng Yulian, and sister Wang Mingquan came on stage. This was the first time that Wang Mingquan participated in this award ceremony.

Although she is quite famous in the emcee world, Zeng Zhiwei and Zheng Yuling are not bad now.

For some reason this year, the organizer added her.

After three funny things, Leslie Cheung came on stage.

The first prize, the best newcomer award.8
