World-class directors in the entertainment industry

"Jason Statham?"

Wu Jing frowned and quickly recalled this person's information.

Although he is a foreign actor, because the villains of "Wolf Warrior" require a lot of foreigners, Wu Jing has been studying some strong and tough-guy male actors from abroad in the past two years.

Naturally among them is Jason Statham, a tough guy who has become popular in recent years.

"The starring role in the popular series "Deadline" a few years ago, "Death Race", "The Expendables", and "The Fury".

"It's just Director Qin. Currently, Jason Statham can be regarded as the representative of the new generation of tough guys in Hollywood. Although the salary in Hollywood is not very high, it still reaches a salary of several million to ten million US dollars."

"As for the villain of [Wolf Warrior], Teacher Ni Dahong is actually the number one villain, and the number two villain is the mercenary played by a foreign actor."

"Not talking about whether we can hire Jason Statham, his salary is just for playing a reverse role. Isn't this price a bit uneconomical?"

Actors in supporting roles are meant to complement the protagonist.

Of course Wu Jing hopes that the movie he stars in will be a big-name actor, which means that he, as the protagonist, has a higher status.

But you can dream, but you have to consider reality.

"The layout is getting smaller, it's getting smaller."

Qin shook his head with a disappointed expression on his face.

"..."

Wu Jing's face was full of embarrassment.

But there is no way to refute it, after all, the Qin Dong in front of him, whether it is his wealth or status, crushes him in all aspects.

"Do you remember what I said to you when you found me last year?"

Qin Dong asked rhetorically.

"Director Qin told me at the time that the script should be as bold as possible. Director Qin is fully responsible for the funding of the film. The scene needs to be bigger and he is not afraid of spending money."

Wu Jing came back to his senses, recalled what Qin Dong said at that time, and repeated it for others to listen to.

"You still remember, then why do you need to worry about the actor's salary? As long as the actor's status is worthy of it, then I can afford the money."

Qin Dong nodded and continued speaking according to the thought that just occurred in his heart:

"The script of [Wolf Warrior] is pretty good in China, but it just doesn't meet my requirements."

"The scene is a bit stingy. Of course, I know that's because you have no capital and are afraid of not being able to attract investment."

"I'm also afraid that the scene will be too big. Even if I get investment, as the starring and director of the movie, if you can't make a profit after the movie is released, you will be under too much pressure."

"Now, let me repeat it to you again. Listen carefully."

Qin moved his finger and pointed at Wu Jing.

Wu Jing nodded obediently.

Even though Wu Jing is much older than Qin Dong and debuted earlier, he is definitely Qin Dong's senior in the industry, but sometimes status is not just calculated based on seniority.

"I'm not afraid of the big scene, I'm just afraid it's not big enough. I'll solve the funding problem."

"Since I'm making a military film, I don't plan to make just one. It must be a series. As for the future box office, that's not what you need to worry about. This is my guarantee for you."

"Jason Statham, I'm here to invite you. I think my face is enough."

"But the Scott Adkins you mentioned is not bad, so..."

Qin Dong feels that if Jason Statham appears in the first part, it will be difficult to find actors for the second part. After all, in the field of star casting and tough guys, as the old tough guys get older, there is currently no second place in the world.

There is no one who can be better than Jason Statham. In the future, there will be someone who will be more popular than Jason in terms of tough guy, but not now. After thinking about it, he added:

"The first one stars Scott Adkins, and Jason Statham appears at the end of the film."

"They both belong to the same mercenary organization. Jason is the leader and Scott is the second in command. This time he took over the mission and ended up dead. As the boss of the organization, Jason Statham showed up at the end of the film.

Talking about revenge, this way there will be a reason for the second part of the movie, and Jason Statham will be the villain boss of the second part."

"When the plot is arranged abroad, what do you think?"

Everyone watched Qin Dong identify the villains of the first and second movies in just a few words.

We were obviously just here to talk about "Wolf Warriors", but we didn't know it was directly related to the second part without a shadow.

"Director Qin is indeed a great director who has become famous all over the world in recent years. His thinking is really amazing."

Captain Liu finally saw with his own eyes why this director, who was said to be highly valued by his superiors, was so outstanding.

The key point is that this person shows a sense of confidence, very confident, so confident that it can be said that he is arrogant.

I haven't even filmed the first part yet, and now I'm planning the second part. It's as if the movie doesn't need to consider making a profit, it seems that it must make a profit and make money.

"Well, of course I think the more famous the actor, the better. Since Director Qin said this, I will revise the script again when I go back, continue to expand the scenes, and leave easter eggs for the second part to be previewed."

Wu Jing looked happy and nodded quickly.

It was because no one had approached him to make movies for many years that he came up with the idea of ​​writing and directing his own films and looking for himself to star in them.

Now it's good, Qin Dong said, there is a series of movies, and there is no need to bear the pressure of the box office. Where can I find such a good thing?

"Well, Scott Adkins, you can invite yourself. As for Jason Statham, I'll take care of him. Speaking of which, I still value Jason very much. I might work with him on a few movies in the future.

.”

Qin Dong thought that he would have to call Martin from CAA to ask. He didn't know which economic company Jason Statham belonged to at this time.

If it's not CAA, then you have to ask Martin to recruit people. There is also a tough guy in the future whose fame and career salary far exceed that of Jason Statham. That is also a treasure, and it will last longer. In addition, he is a native of North America.

That's why Qin Dong felt it necessary to cut off his beard.

No matter what, you have to take advantage of the fact that although the other party is now famous, it has not yet reached its peak and often has to play supporting roles in other movies. At this time, it is best to win over and sign several movie contracts in advance to lay the groundwork for the future.

.

"I read the news about Director Qin's movie. Many big-name Hollywood stars want to star in it. Jason Statham is lucky."

Wu Jing gave a compliment, but he only meant it from his heart.

"So, let's talk about the military equipment issue."

Director Qin didn't answer and asked about business matters.

Why do people from the Jingnan Military Region appear? Is it because the movie requires a lot of military equipment?

But China is not Hollywood, and no one has been making military films.

Well, not counting those war movies made in the past, those were all decades ago, and the equipment at that time was completely different from what it is now.

Therefore, if China wants to make modern military films, it cannot do without the support of the military.

Just like Hollywood cannot do without the military support of free countries.

Without military support, where would the advanced fighter planes, bombers, and aircraft carriers that appear in the movie come from?

The country is also aware of the free country's intention to use movies to promote their ideas and even show off their powerful military equipment, so they are also groping.

This is how the Jingnan Military Region came up with the idea of ​​supporting the production of military films.

It's just that he can be regarded as a pioneer and is still groping, so the progress is relatively slow. Qin Dong waited for more than half a year for the arrival of these people.
