Ye Zhiqiu recently took out two movie scripts, namely "Detective Chinatown" and "Monster Hunt".

The main reason for choosing these two films is that they were both famous and well-known commercial blockbusters in the past.

Among them, "Detective Chinatown" is a comedy movie that combines suspense, action and detective elements. Relying on humorous and tense plot design, it maintains entertainment while also having a certain depth, which is very suitable for the tastes of the current young audience.

"Monster Hunt" can also be classified as a comedy movie, but unlike "Detective Chinatown", it incorporates fantasy elements, and the style of the film is more "all-age", suitable for a family with children to watch.

Unlike "Detective Chinatown", the design and production of the "monster" image in "Monster Hunt" has relatively high requirements for film special effects technology, but this happens to be the strength of "Autumn of Light", so it is not a problem.

As early as the beginning of taking over, Ye Zhiqiu had deliberately cultivated the special effects team of "Shiguangzhiqiu". After several animations, it is no problem for them to handle a movie now.

In addition, these two movies have another great advantage, that is, they are all "series".

In the previous life, "Detective Chinatown" was filmed in 3 parts, with a box office of more than 8 billion yuan, and "Monster Hunt" was also filmed in 2 parts, with the same outstanding results.

Of course, the box office is affected by many factors, including the cast, scheduling, and publicity. Ye Zhiqiu will also make adjustments to the plot and character details according to the actual situation. It can be said that it is very different from the original work, and he can't guarantee whether it can still achieve the same box office results.

But in general, the advantage of "series" is that it can attack or defend. If the performance of the first part is really not ideal, it will not be filmed later.

As for Huahai Entertainment, after more than a week of discussion since receiving the script, it came to a unanimous conclusion that both scripts are very optimistic and the project establishment process was completed quickly.

The two most important actors in "Detective Chinatown" are the "dirty detective" Tang Ren and the "genius police academy failure" Qin Feng.

The role of "Qin Feng" has been confirmed to be played by Ye Zhiqiu, and this is also his second work written, directed and acted in.

However, there are some different opinions on the casting of the role of "Tang Ren".

Huahai Entertainment Building, office.

"I think Wang Qiang is the most suitable." Lu Ping, head of the film and television department, said.

"The role of Tang Ren is a simple, mean and funny clown. There are not many actors in China who can play this role well, and Wang Qiang is one of them."

"Secondly, this drama has two protagonists, and Tang Ren's role is even higher than Qin Feng's. If Zhiqiu plays Qin Feng, the person who plays with him cannot be of low status, at least they must be of the same level, otherwise it will not be suitable."

"We know this." Another executive smiled bitterly, "But if we find Wang Qiang, the budget will be unbearable."

Hearing this, many people in the conference room nodded in agreement.

As a group actor, Wang Qiang is an idol and model for grassroots actors in the industry. At this time, he has won many awards such as the Best New Actor Award and the Best Popular Actor Award. He has also won the Best Actor Award at foreign film festivals several times and has been nominated for the Best Actor Award several times in China.

It can be said that, except for the title of "Best Actor" in China, he has won most of the prestigious awards for male actors from TV dramas to movies. He is now in great demand, and his salary is also at the ceiling level for domestic actors.

Of course, Ye Zhiqiu is also one of the ceilings. In "Detective Chinatown", his salary is 40 million.

As an actor, he may not have many film works. Currently, he only plays the leading role in "No Man's Land", but in terms of fame, box office appeal, etc., he is definitely worth this salary.

And Wang Qiang's salary is estimated to be between 40 and 50 million. In this way, plus other roles, the actor's salary alone exceeds 100 million. In addition, this film has many scenes shot abroad, and the cost will not be too low. It is estimated to be around 50 million, not including the equally large publicity.

In this way, the cost of this film must be 200 million, and at least 600 million to make a profit.

To be honest, the risk is still relatively high.

Regarding the fact that Wang Qiang could not be found, the two factions in the meeting room held different opinions and argued for a long time. One side believed that it should be done in one step, while the other side felt that there were several actors with high cost-effectiveness and good performance, and the performance effect might not be bad...

"Zhiqiu, what do you think?" After listening for a long time, Li Wenrui, the boss of Huahai Entertainment, also felt a little headache. He cast his eyes on Ye Zhiqiu, and the people who were arguing stopped.

In the wholeUnder the gaze of everyone in the conference room, Ye Zhiqiu did not think for long and said directly.

"Please!"

"To be honest, when I wrote this role, the image of Tang Ren in my mind was Wang Qiang. It was indeed not good enough for other people to play it."

"More than 100 million has been invested, so it doesn't matter if these tens of millions are missing."

Ye Zhiqiu said, and Li Wenrui nodded in agreement.

"Okay, then let's decide on Wang Qiang."

"Contact his agent and draw up a contract as soon as possible if he agrees."

"If he disagrees, we have to find someone else quickly."

Lu Ping immediately said, "Okay, I will contact him after the meeting."

"Wang Qiang won the 'Golden Broom Award', and it seems that he has given up the idea of ​​becoming a director. He has been focusing on filming in recent years. He just finished filming a work last month. He is not in the new crew now, or he may be considering it. Anyway, he should have a schedule at present."

Everyone nodded. Although there were some differences of opinion at the beginning, they were relieved that this major event was settled.

Of course, this decision was also made by Ye Zhiqiu. It can be said that he is the youngest person in this conference room, but he also has the most weight, even above Li Wenrui.

After all, in addition to being the screenwriter, director, and leading actor in this film, his own "Yi Ye Zhi Qiu" studio is also the largest investor.

"If Wang Qiang is also invited, the lineup of this film will be really luxurious."

While feeling relaxed, someone sighed: "In the past few years, our film and television crews would not dare to think of this situation. To be honest, I am really a little depressed."

Another person laughed and said, "Why are you nervous?"

"Zhi Qiu has invested all his wife's money, and he didn't even blink."

Everyone laughed. It wasn't long since Ye Zhiqiu proposed to Yu Caiwei at the opening ceremony of the World Cup, and the popularity was still high.

Since he has already proposed, the wedding date is probably not far away, so it's not wrong to call it "wife's money".

The executives present were all “old hands” who had been in the company for many years. They had all witnessed the two men’s journey to where they are today, so they were naturally happy to see their success and were happy to make some jokes.
