Chapter 208 Unfinished Trilogy

.

Then, there are peripheral products... Wow, I made a lot of money! I guess it is enough to sell the dolls of Ran Min played by Chu Yue in the play, as well as various products such as posters, which is enough to make a fortune!

Unexpectedly, I didn't expect it. Thinking of this, the president was very angry again. If I had known that this drama would have been invested only by the company. Now the interests are going to be divided, and the base is still the largest. I'm angry! There is no way, Ning Fei and Chu Yue each invested 150 million yuan, and Lu Zhenhui raised 200 million yuan, and each had a certain profit share! Even the black and white films had a share!

When the CEO of Light and Shadow thought about Chu Yue and other investors were about to divide up 50% of the profit, he felt heartbroken. After thinking about it, he comforted him again. There is also "The Fall of Hu 2", and the box office of that drama will definitely not be bad!

European and American film merchants really came enthusiastically. After several negotiations, they finally finalized the price. They sold the first-round release rights of North America and the North American distribution rights of videotapes for 25 million US dollars, while Europe sold 23 million euros. This was another huge income, and the president's teeth were almost lost! It is estimated that next time Chu Yue shoots a billion-dollar film, it will be no big problem.

The film's box office in North America is not very good, but with the top war scenes in the play, it is as high as 40 million US dollars! On the contrary, in Europe, the total box office of this film in Europe reached as much as 60 million euros. Calculated, the global box office of "The Destroy Hu 1 Dawn" is as high as 2.3 billion Hong Kong dollars, almost the top ten global box office list of the previous year.

Light and Shadow made about HK$400 million by selling copyrights in North America and Europe, plus 600 million box office revenue. With just two items, the investment was completely made back. It also made a profit of 100 million. In addition, dolls and other peripheral products and copyrights are in hand, and the video tapes are profitable. This made everyone who was waiting to see Chu Yue lose money and lose money. The investment of HK$900 million can really not lose money. It also makes a lot of money? Isn't this a fantasy?

Chu Yue knew very well whether he or she had lost money or not. At least he and Ning Fei did not pay. Moreover, he and Ning Fei each received more than 40 million Hong Kong dollars in profits afterwards, which was not counting the profits of the second episode.

"Destroying Hu 1 Dawn" undoubtedly broke the top record of Chinese-language films and became the second-place Asian box office runner-up in the year, second only to Japan. Every filmmaker glanced at this number and couldn't help but shake his head. It seems that this box office record is destined to be broken by Chu Yue himself!

After this film, Lin Ling unceremoniously increased Chu Yue's net worth by half, reaching 15 million Hong Kong dollars, plus an 8% commission. He became the highest-priced actor besides Cheng Long, Stephen Chow, and Brother Jie. To be honest, with this result, a lot of people who soared to 30 million were going to find him to film! The pay has increased, and the advertising fee has soared again. This time, Lin Ling was very cruel and ruthless to 25 million. Even so, the manufacturer was still very enthusiastic. Pepsi was still so depressed that he vomited blood. If he had known... If he had known, he would have settled the contract as soon as possible!

Even though he dare not call himself the number one superstar of Chinese, with the achievements in the music and film industry, Cheng Long and the others have grown old, and this title has been approved by some people!

Where did Chu Yue have the intention to deal with other things? Lin Ling is blocking all the messy things for him, saving him precious time in Dali! Now, he is taking the power of "Destroying Hu 1 Dawn" and is acting in "The Unreal", which is also the second part of Lin Rui's Unreal Trilogy.

Lin Rui had discussed the plot of "The Fate" with Chu Yue n times, and there was a detailed expert like Lan Xinlian, which gradually took almost two years to create the remaining two scripts successfully. Now, Lin Rui has invested 60 million in Light and Shadow - Chu Yue's pay has exceeded 10 million!

It is impossible not to admit that Lin Rui is perfectionist, and he is a perfectionist like Chu Yue. Lin Rui's requirements on this point are even higher than Chu Yue. The two books took two years to carefully craft them, and a line and an action have a fixed meaning. Before the filming started, he was very worried about the team's problems.

At this point today, he felt that Chu Yue's team was not suitable for him. After all, Chu Yue had a tough style, war films and action films. However, he felt that the team was very strong and the cooperation was also very strong. There was no way. In the early days of the establishment of Black and White Film, he relied on this team to conquer the world, and of course he had a strong tacit understanding. After experiencing so many director styles and baptisms, the team's strength was well deserved to be one of the strongest in Hong Kong.

However, the strongest does not mean the most suitable. Although Lin Rui relied on this team to make the well-known "Love Not End". But now, after being baptized by Chu Yue's war film, the styles of these people have gradually been established, and their tacit understanding with Chu Yue has also been higher.

Therefore, the choice of the team behind the scenes beforehand was also one of the reasons why his drama has not started filming. In the past two years, Chu Yue fell into a low point, but the local film industry was surging, and the flag on the city was unpredictable. Only one generation would inevitably be replaced by a new generation! His choice was to choose among all the outstanding newcomers in the past two years, and they met and talked one by one. Anyway, new filmmakers who came out of black and white accounted for half of the film industry.

In the end, he chose the team in front of him. After more than ten days of running-in, he gradually shone with a team brilliance. He was very satisfied with such a team and Chu Yue's performance!

This time, acting in "The Unrequited" was a test for Chu Yue. In the play, he had almost no many rival scenes. Most of them were single-man shows, which was a very strict test for any actor!

It was a wonderful feeling that Chu Yue always had this feeling. He felt that he was not like acting in a movie, but more like acting in a stage play. On a stage, under the gaze of all eyes, he used his heaven skills to show them freely.

He silently opened a letter, admired it carefully, and pressed it on the table. The letter seemed to arouse his own thoughts, his eyes flashed, and he froze directly on the letter - but everyone could see that his eyes did not actually fall on the letter. Instead, he showed a sense of confusion and daze!

"cut!" Lin Rui shouted with satisfaction. He thought this drama was not that easy to act, but he didn't expect that Chu Yue's acting skills increased greatly after experiencing "Destroy Hu": "A Yue, your performance has been getting better and better recently!"

Chu Yue smiled and touched his nose. Recalling the psychological problem that he had become too deeply involved in the role of "Destroy the Hu", he couldn't help but smile embarrassedly! So far, he asked Liang Chaowei and Huang Qiusheng, but none of them found the cause of this symptoms!

"You have never been a shy person, and you don't have to do that!" Lin Rui looked at him with a serious tone: "Your performance is extremely restrained and your own style traces are obviously not the same level as "Destroy Hu" before! Do it well. This time, we have to win the award with this drama!"

It may not be known if you win the award, but the box office will definitely not be bad. The film companies are optimistic about this drama and hope to book it. With Chu Yue, no matter how bad the drama is, it will not be much worse. Helplessly, this was rejected by Light and Shadow.

The plot of "The Fate Is Not Completed" is roughly that Chu Yue quarreled with his girlfriend, and moved one day (why do you want to say it again). After moving, he found a box of letters at home and threw them away without hesitation! And on this day, he received a letter!

This letter aroused Chu Yue's curiosity. He was depressed and suddenly became energetic, as if he had found a goal for himself. In the letters, he gradually understood the stories at both ends of the letter. It was a couple - it was not a couple, because their letters never mentioned love or like.

So, he pretended to be the man before and sent the letters out one by one! Letters come and go. The distance between Chu Yue and his girlfriend Lin Jiaxin also went back and forth. Finally, one day, he couldn't help but come to him in person, but found...

To be precise, the film is very complicated, especially the two relationships that the film wants to present. One is complex and rash, and the other is simple and lifelong. What Lin Rui wants to express is two relationships, one is hidden, and the other is Chu Yue and Lin Jiaxin. This is obviously a big test for the director. How can two inconsistent feelings be perfectly integrated into the play and into a letter?

Halfway through the film, Lin Rui had a new idea. He suddenly wanted to make the second half of the play a horror movie! That was definitely not impossible. In his idea, Chu Yue wrote a letter in the play instead of the dead, and gradually approached the deceased in character, and finally became more and more like...

It's really tempting to think about it. It's just like playing like "A Begins of Dawn". The style of the first half is completely different from the style of the second half, which is a huge temptation to the director! But Lin Rui still forced himself to suppress his impulse and sternly reminded himself that this is a drama film, not a horror film!

At this time, Chu Yue was thinking of a new film. He thought of a complete Eastern-style fairy tale work. It was a god flying around like "Shushan Swordsman". However, at present, he only had a rough idea and had not yet obtained a specific idea.

After talking about this idea with Lin Rui, Ahao and Lan Xinlian, Lin Rui immediately clapped his hands and applauded: "Ayue, this story is very amazing. If you don't do it, then I'll do it!"

"Tsk, your speed is like a turtle climbing. It may take several years from the time you have an idea to the script coming out!" Ah Hao immediately expressed his contempt, but he was very interested in this idea. His only doubt was: "If it is really filmed, then this drama must require very powerful special effects, I'm afraid..."

Chu Yue was sweating wildly, yes, if this Oriental Fairy Tale film starts filming, the special effects will definitely become the protagonist. Otherwise, the film will not be able to continue filming and will not be able to sell the box office or anything else! If special effects are needed, the total production fee will probably not be less than 100 million US dollars!

"If possible, I would rather make a magical film, just like the West..." Chu Yue coughed. To be honest, this idea is obviously not bad, but as a Chinese, it is obviously a bit inappropriate!

It is not as easy as I imagined to realize these ideas! Ah Hao and Ah Lan are excited to find information. Ah Hao has been nominated for the Best Screenwriter of the Academy Awards for three consecutive years, and Ah Lan has won it. Now their identities are different. They each bring one or two apprentices and have their apprentices help find information, which is much easier!

Before you could have more specific ideas in these two dramas, Lin Ling appeared and threw a few scripts to him: "I have selected these scripts for you. One of them is a kung fu film. I think you have never acted in a real kung fu film. Now you will definitely have a sensational effect."

Chu Yue picked up the script and roughly appreciated it. This kung fu film seems to have some shadows of the unfinished film "The Tower of Death" that Bruce Lee had. The plot of this drama is not complicated, and it is different from the duel on the tower of "The Tower of Death". The background of this drama is to arrange a maze, with many mechanisms in the maze! The protagonist enters the maze to seek a person!

Strictly speaking, there is almost nothing surprising about this drama. The exciting thing lies in the mechanisms and other things. The second is the fight between hard bridges and hard horses! Lin Ling smiled and leaned on the sofa: "If you don't do it, then they will ask Zhang Xia to play it!"

Zhang Xia? Chu Yue couldn't help but sigh when he thought of this name. Zhang Xia is different from the energetic warrior before. After two years of fighting in the entertainment industry, he has been constantly rumored almost every day, and he is completely addicted to this colorful and confused world. Now, Chu Yue really doesn't know how much Zhang Xia's kung fu is left.

"There are two more books, one is the invitation of Adu. He knows that you want to get the Golden Picture now. His play is carefully created and can lead you to the Golden Picture shortlist! The other is a pure action movie, the one you wanted to make before "The Destroy the Hu" two years ago!" Lin Ling is now full of the style of an agent.

After reading the script, Chu Yue pondered for a moment. It was early January 2013, and this year he has not yet finished many schedules! He only took over Lin Rui's "The Fate" and "The Fate". With Lin Rui's speed, he can complete "The Fate" in another half a month. As for "The Fate" it will take to start filming in the second half of the year!

Seeing that he was hesitant, Lin Ling smiled lightly and drank some clear water: "Don't worry, you still have a lot of schedule this year, and I didn't set it for you! There is actually no big problem with the following dramas."

Finally, it was still the next one, and he took on all three dramas! Chu Yue still wanted to act in a kung fu film, but it was difficult to innovate in kung fu films now, and not many people dared to shoot them. As the director who promoted him, how could he refuse? As for Ah Hao's book, he was written for him at the beginning, and of course he didn't want to miss it.
Chapter completed!
