I'm serious about making money

In 2009, Jiang Wen was at his weakest.

In 2000, he participated in the Cannes Film Festival privately without going through the review of "The Devil Is Coming", and was banned from directing for 5 years.

Finally, in 2006, he filmed "The Sun Also Rises". In order to pass the review, he played with a lot of metaphors in the movie, and completely disrupted the timeline of the four stories. It's a problem.

In the end, the review was passed, but the audience was also dazzled, and couldn't understand what was being said at all.

In the end, the box office was only a pitiful 600 million, which was a miserable loss.

Although the investor did not say anything and promised to continue investing, the $2000 million investment in "Let the Bullets Fly" cannot be fully paid out.

With "The Devil Is Coming" and "The Sun Also Rises" rushing to the front, other film and television companies are a little bit scared, after all, no one knows what kind of moth this guy can come up with.

So when Jiang Yu proposed to invest in "Let the Bullets Fly", Jiang Wen was so moved.

It's not that he lacks this little money, it's mainly because he feels that this little brother can trust him so much when other investors are avoiding him, which is really rare.

"Then how can I play Liuzi?" Jiang Yu asked while the iron was hot.

"This won't work," Jiang Wen said, "Don't get me wrong, the main reason is that you don't look like the sixth son."

"Then who is like the six sons?"

"Zhang Moxiang."

"Yes, Zhang Mo does look like the six sons," Ge You said from the sidelines, "I've seen the photos, and they can at least have an eight-point resemblance. Anyone who says they are brothers will believe it."

Jiang Yu said, "Oh, there is such a similarity?"

"There is such a resemblance," Jiang Wen said, "It's not just the six sons, if you have seen the photo of the fourth master, you will know that Liu Dehua and the fourth master also look alike. If it wasn't for Liu Dehua's lack of schedule, I really want to invite him too. .”

What else could Jiang Yu say.

He never dreamed that Jiang Wen chose Zhang Mo to play the sixth son not because of Zhang Guoli's relationship, but because of his looks.

"Are you nearsighted?" Jiang Wen asked.

"I'm not nearsighted."

"You're not nearsighted, but you have to wear glasses."

"I can wear glasses, glasses are important?"

"Let's put it this way, it's because of this pair of glasses that this character is born."

"If you say that, then I understand," Jiang Yu said, "But who am I playing?"

"You play the person you should play," Jiang Wen took a breath, "Lao Qi."

In this way, Jiang Yu took in 200 million US dollars in exchange for the role of Lao Qi and Uncle Ge's one-month schedule.

There is no way, Uncle Ge still has to rush to shoot "The Orphan of Zhao", and it is already very good to squeeze out a month.

After Jiang Yu came back, he immediately sent Luo Xin and Fang Guangzhi to Jin Province to scout out spots, while Chen Yang was arrested to contact the actors.

As for Dad Liu, he is in charge of contacting Ma Ke, the producer of "Let the Bullets Fly".

Marco is the "he's eight years old" in "Let the Bullets Fly". This guy is actually Jiang Wen's partner, and the two have collaborated since "The Sun Also Rises".

Jiang Yu has always been kind, since Jiang Wen thinks that Jiang Yu's team is too bad, then he simply asked Marco to copy the production team of "Let the Bullets Fly". Anyway, the two films are not in the same schedule, so there is no conflict .

As for President Xiao Jiang himself, he came to Huaqing Homeland with a small schoolbag on his back, where he wanted to negotiate a big business with Gu Yongjian.

After the box office of "33 Days of Broken Love" exceeded [-] million yuan, not only Jiang Yu became famous, Gu Yongjian also attracted much attention in the Internet circle.

At this time, Internet capital has not invaded the film and television industry, and Gu Yongjian was the first to eat crabs, and he actually enjoyed it.

He invested 300 million in it, and finally got back 1000 million, with a return rate of [-]%!

This made Youku's executives very excited. Youku burned so much money to make a video website, but they didn't see any hope of making a profit. Now they invested in a movie and made more than 1000 million yuan.

As a result, Gu Yongjian completely strengthened his determination to adopt the long video mode.

And Jiang Yu is naturally his best partner.

"To be honest, this "Donkey Gets Water" should not lose money, but the box office is not expected to be so high."

Downstairs in Huaqing Homeland, in a certain coffee shop, Jiang Yu shook the cup and said truthfully, "I didn't make this movie to make money, but to win prizes."

"I understand," Gu Yongjian said with a smile: "People in the cultural circle like you are just talking about money, and you must have your own artistic pursuits."

"Haha, that's an honor for you," Jiang Yu said with a smile, "I'm looking for you today because I actually want to talk about cooperation in a TV series."

"Appreciate further details."

"I don't know Mr. Gu, what do you think is the core of a film and television drama?"

Gu Yongjian said: "The director, the actors, and the script, the most important thing for a film and television drama to succeed are these three things."

Since he decided to set foot in the film and television industry, he naturally did his homework. Seeing Jiang Yu shaking his head at this time, he was a little confused, "Isn't it right?"

Jiang Yu smiled and said, "Yes, but not all of them. I think that among these three things, the director and the actors can go back a little bit. The most important thing is actually the script."

"Because Tianchao never lacks good directors or good actors, what we lack most is good stories."

Gu Yongjian nodded, he knew that Jiang Yu must have more to say.

Sure enough, Jiang Yu took out a plan from the schoolbag behind her and handed it over, "Look at it first."

Gu Yongjian took it, but before reading it, he couldn't help complaining, "I'll give you a leather bag later, and you always come out with a schoolbag to discuss cooperation with me. I always feel that you are handing in homework with me."

Jiang Yu laughed, "That's a good relationship, I want Gucci."

"I'm sorry, Gucci doesn't have men's models, okay?" Gu Yongjian and Jiang Yu have known each other for so long, and they have always been very happy to cooperate.

"Scary at every step?"

Gu Yongjian opened the planning case, glanced at the introduction first, and learned that this is a time travel published on the Internet. The plot is probably that a woman in modern times travels back to the Qing Dynasty after being hit by a car, and gets involved in Yongzheng and the Qing Dynasty. The battle for the heirloom between the eighth elders.

She wanted to change history, but in the end she became a part of history, and finally died, all traces were covered by the dust of history, and nothing was left behind.

"Time travel? This theme is very interesting," Gu Yongjian flipped through the plan and said, "If modern people can travel back to ancient times, it must be very interesting."

Jiang Yu said: "Do you look at the Internet? Time travel is very popular now. Men always want to travel to the Three Kingdoms to fight for world supremacy, while women want to travel back to have a vigorous love affair. But the point is not this, but the Internet."

Gu Yongjian raised his head in confusion, and Jiang Yu said: "Our most scarce stories, these online writers, can be continuously produced!"

"Their creativity and ability to write stories are much better than those gang of screenwriters."

"The most important thing is whether the story is good or not, and whether the audience likes it or not, the readers have already verified it for us."

It's no big deal for future generations to say these words, this set of ip adaptation model has long been played badly.

But in 2009, for Gu Yongjian, it was no less than a shock.

Although Gu Yongjian has decided to get involved in film and television production, he has absolutely no experience in how to do it. He can only cross the river by feeling the stones and taking one step at a time.

But Jiang Yu actually opened up a new track for him in a few words!

Why bother to follow those film and television companies to do projects, just buy the Internet and come back, the adaptation will be over!

In Jiang Yu's vision, he provided vision, Gu Yongjian provided the money, and he was responsible for the adaptation and production, which was finally broadcast on Youku.

Find some more trolls, buy some hot searches, draw a big pie for investors, and go public directly, my old baby!
