Wu Haoshen was on the phone at the moment. He rejected the call with disdain."Yellow Worm? No need! Why use him?
I want to surpass Infernal Affairs, not remake Infernal Affairs. I don't even need Chaowei and Hua Zai. I want to build a different team.”
Yang Yongqing was also looking at Wu Haoshen with admiration. She felt that Wu Haoshen was really manly and talented. At first, she and Yang Shoucheng were worried that Wu Haoshen was inexperienced. They didn't expect him to be able to get started so easily. Everything was carried out in an orderly manner, and he was even more professional than many of the big directors under them.
Huang Chongsheng was the best actor. Although he was a very capable actor and not a superstar actor with high popularity and box office appeal, under normal circumstances, no one would reject him. However, Wu Haoshen rejected him with a disdainful look. This made others admire him in all kinds of ways. They felt that this fellow from the mainland was too awesome.
Of course, Wu Haoshen wouldn't use the Yellow Worm, Du Wenze, and the others. He was already very disgusted with these malignant tumors, and at the same time, he didn't want to affect his image in the future, so he was determined not to use them.
After hanging up the phone, Wu Haoshen looked at the public relations team that Huacheng had sent over this time. The lineup was really extraordinary.
First of all, there was the double ice of the four dans, Li Xue, who was still a little immature and deliberately pretending to be ugly, his old acquaintances Liu Yan, Chen Zihan, and Huo Shiyan.
"Sit down. Speaking of which, I went to apply for a job at Huacheng in the past, but I wasn't selected. Later on, I went to Beijing Television Station to be an intern assistant director for three years. After that, I felt that it was boring, so I brought all my money to Hong Kong. This place is really a magical place, don't you think so?”
"And this matter? Those people are really blind. Even a great talent like Director Wu can't recognize Mount Tai. When we go back, I'll fire him. He must be fired. He's simply making us lose our pillar for the next 30 years.”
Looking at Sis Hua, who was constantly patting his horse, Wu Haoshen felt a little pleased. This was a big shot he had to look up to in his previous life, but now…she was just a small figure who was fawning over him.
"Alright, it's just a joke. There's no need to be so reserved. Just treat it as your own home. I've already asked someone to prepare the food and drinks.”
Li Huanhuan and the others heaved a sigh of relief. The main reason was that Wu Haoshen's aura was too strong, especially the eldest daughter of Emperor, Yang Yongqing. She had no influence in Wu Haoshen's eyes. She was like a servant girl. This was really too surprising.
Wu Haoshen was talking about some gossip in Xiangjiang with Sis Hua and the others, especially some interesting things that he had encountered when he was preparing for the film crew. When he heard that Fa Ge only received a salary of six million yuan, the group of people were all shocked and incredulous.
"It's very normal. Originally, it should have been announced to the public that it was a huge production of 200 million yuan. This is because Brother Fa's normal salary is 30 million yuan. Chengcheng's salary is 10 million yuan. Including the other main leads, the salary alone is about 60 million yuan.
However, that was the market price. Uncle had personally come forward. After reading the script, Brother Fa liked it immediately and was willing to accept it for free.
The value of a good script to an actor could not be measured by money, especially now that the market was in a slump.
However, it was not Wu Haoshen's style to refuse to pay, so he set the price at six million. Even Fa Ge only got six million. Chengcheng's side naturally couldn't be higher than Fa Ge, so they took half of it. Even so, there were still many people who recommended themselves and wanted to cut off their profits.”
Wu Haoshen didn't think that it was really suitable to hype up the investment budget. When everyone was playing like this, this trick was actually meaningless. It was better to do the opposite.
Because my script is good enough, all the actors who have seen it would rather shoot it for free. They would use more funds to ensure the quality of the final film.
If you have the ability, spend nine million Hong Kong dollars to buy Brother Fa and Heavenly King Guo. Try it and see if others will pay attention to you.
Therefore, Guo Jinghua and the others were listening with admiration. They even secretly called Wang Zhongjun. If they wanted to do the mainland distribution of "Unparalleled," it would be best if they could tear down a few heavyweight characters to support them.
This was naturally Wu Haoshen's goal. Otherwise, he wouldn't have made time to receive the public relations team from Hua Cheng. His status was now much higher than these socialites.
After hearing that Wu Haoshen had only confirmed the male lead and the second male lead, Sis Hua had an idea."Then have you decided on the first and second female lead?”
"There are a few targets for the female lead that are currently being discussed. The second and third female leads have not been decided yet. This is mainly to choose a suitable one. There's no need to choose someone too famous.”
Sis Hua naturally understood Wu Haoshen's subtext. He definitely wouldn't give up the female lead role. It had to be an A-lister who was very famous and had box office appeal. However, it didn't matter if she was the second or third female lead. As long as she could make him happy, they could talk about it.
As for how to make me happy, that will depend on your performance.
Tell me, what do you want? If the distribution price in the mainland is suitable, I can let Huacheng do it. I know your strength, and I'm also very optimistic about Wushuang's explosive growth in the mainland market.
At that time, it would be at least 300 to 500 million at the box office, or even higher. No one knows better than me about the box office potential of Peerless.”
It was only 2007, and the box office earnings of 300 million to 500 million were terrifying. The 380 million of the big ship would only be broken in 2009. The current box office record was still Titanic, which was released in 1998. From this, one could see how exaggerated the box office estimates were.
"Are you sure it can be that high?"
"Of course, the global box office of this movie should be able to break 200 million USD. The probability of it landing in European and American cinemas is very high. Otherwise, why do you think Uncle is so supportive of me?
I have the support of half of the harbor circle. You don't think I really relied on women to get to the top, do you?”
In fact, Wu Haoshen had relied on women to get to where he was today, but he couldn't put it that way. He wanted to present himself as a film genius that would only be seen once every decade, twenty years, or even a hundred years, comparable to Howard Hughes. He was born to break all kinds of records and deal with all kinds of dissatisfaction.
Guo Jinghua immediately called Wang Zhongjun. She wanted to ask if he believed her and if he really believed her, how should they cooperate?
"Director Wang said, can you show me the script first? He trusts my judgment."
Wu Haoshen nodded. Although this was the last time Guo Jinghua would lead a team and would be forced to defect in a few months, what did this have to do with him?
Wu Haoshen showed the complete script to Guo Jinghua and then started eating and drinking with a group of beautiful girls.
"This script is very impressive. In my opinion, it's even better than Infernal Affairs. Director Wu is indeed a once-in-a-century film genius. I'll communicate with Director Wang now. If Hua Cheng isn't suitable, I'll find another way for Director Wu. I definitely won't let you suffer.”
In the eyes of others, Guo Jinghua was trying to curry favor with him. However, in Wu Haoshen's eyes, Guo Jinghua had probably already found her next target and was beginning to rebel.
