This actor has something

Chapter 221 The first clues appear

He Daqi's concerns are simple.

It is a bit troublesome to shoot two movies together. After all, King of Sunglasses has done this once, and it was a bit too abstract. In the end, both movies are difficult to evaluate. The same actors look outrageous no matter how you look at them after watching one and then the other.

but.

Du Qifeng had just shown off his prowess at the Golden Elephant Awards. His team had mature skills and their asking price was not high. It was obvious that Du Qifeng was preparing to give a big discount, and it seemed that he was also going to persuade the actors to join him in setting a promotional price.

Bringing people here from the mainland or directly forming a new crew in Hong Kong may not necessarily be as strong as Du Qifeng's current team.

Seeing that no one spoke, He Daqi thought for a moment and then took the initiative to speak: "Director Du, the crew can use the same staff, and as for the actors, we can recruit new ones. Anyway, the quotation is cheap now, and it will be easy to find people."

"I will convince Ren Dahua and Liang Jiahui and the others. Don't worry. Dragon City Years only said it verbally and hasn't signed a contract yet. We can sign both scripts together when the time comes. Everyone knows that the film and television industry is in a downturn now, so it's impossible not to let investors make money."

After Du Qifeng finished speaking, He Daqi didn't know what to say anymore, as the other party had already said it very clearly.

In the end, neither Zhou Huimin nor Wang Rui gave a definite answer, they just said they would think about it again.

However, the script has been finalized. Now we just have to go back and discuss it with our own people. It will only take a few words to decide when to start filming.

After coming out of the set, Wang Rui said something and everyone went to the teahouse again.

After getting out of the car, He Daqi smiled and joked, "Brother Rui, you come here every day to increase the sales of the teahouse. Doesn't that mean they rely on you to make a living?"

"This is my property, that's why I'm willing to come here. Every time I invite you to have tea, have you ever seen me pay?" Wang Rui said with a smile as he led them upstairs.

After seated.

Wang Rui, the host, poured a round of tea in a lavish manner and gestured with his hand: "Tea, please."

Ning Hao imitated He Daqi and took a sip. Seeing that everyone was silent and thinking about their own things, he smiled and said:

"I didn't expect the tea drinking etiquette here is a little different from that in Guangdong Province. I always thought they were the same. Daqi's uncle took me to a teahouse there last year, and it wasn't so complicated."

Wang Rui said gently, "In the past, there were actually quite a few different ways of drinking it, with both northern and southern ways. Later, as the older generation stayed here for a long time, and people from Southeast Asia continued to come to Hong Kong, they gradually integrated the different styles, with the southern way being the main one, and it became what we have now. It's similar but not the same, and each has its own unique characteristics."

"I don't like drinking it, so I don't feel any difference."

He Daqi was really thirsty. He took a small sip and felt it was not enough. Seeing that everyone was drinking slowly, he looked around and got up to get a can of Coke from the freezer at the third floor door.

He came back and sat down again, opened the cup and took a big gulp, then said happily, "Delicious!" "A cow chewing on a peony." Zhou Huimin never missed any opportunity to make fun of He Daqi.

He Daqi didn't bother to argue with her. He turned to Wang Rui and asked the question that had been lingering in his mind in the meeting room just now: "Why didn't you two say anything just now? At first, I thought that Brother Rui, you asked Du Qifeng to shoot two dramas at the same time to prepare two crews and two sets of actors, or two sets of actors for one crew. I didn't expect that he wanted to shoot two dramas at the same time, and you didn't refute it."

"From the beginning, I just wanted to slow down his filming progress. It doesn't matter whether he uses the same set or not. Daqi, are you worried that the audience will be distracted if the same actors are used in the same film?"

"Yes." He Daqi nodded.

"Actually, your concern is totally unnecessary. His Dragon City Years probably won't make much splash in mainland China. We are mainly promoting your Gift in Room 7. You have already proved your box office ability in Hong Kong, and we have to prove it again in mainland China this time." Wang Rui explained with a smile.

"How do we prove it? We are all from Hong Kong, but he can't even make a move. How can we be sure that it will sell well?" He Daqi frowned.

"That brings us to the distribution," Wang Rui said, then turned to Zhou Huimin and asked, "How did the discussion go? Last year when I was in the mainland, I saw people from Huanya using the Yonghui Qiming name to visit theaters everywhere."

Zhou Huimin explained vaguely: "Split it up, then keep the copyright, split it up as a whole, change the name and separate it from Hong Kong."

"So fast?" Wang Rui was a little surprised.

"No, it's still officially Huanya, but that's just in name only. They'll specify the details when they make the announcement, but whether others believe it or not is uncertain."

Zhou Huimin finished speaking, took a sip of tea and added, "So this time it just happened that we have the copyright of the Daqi script, so we can use it as a pathfinder. The script is also good. My main concern is that Du Qifeng will not take it seriously, and the finished product will not be good, and the mainland audience will not accept it..."

"Wait a minute! Wait a minute. If I heard correctly, the copyright of this movie will belong to Huan Asia after it is finished, right? Why don't we invest it ourselves?" He Daqi suddenly interrupted Zhou Huimin.

"For now, it's Huanya's. We'll talk about it later. Don't forget that Huanya still has money tied up in Yonghui Qiming. Besides The Bund, we have three more movies or TV series to make, and all three must be finished before my contract expires. Besides, how can you use your own money to invest in a TV series? Huanya didn't even put in their own money, so why should we invest our own money?"

He Daqi waved his hand: "Don't mention this to me, I don't want to know."

Ning Hao on the side really wanted to hear it. Zhou Huimin's words just now, "Why use your own money to invest in filming a drama?" made him feel like he had been enlightened. Looking at others and then looking at himself, Ning Hao now had only one question: Why did I spend that money to film incense?
Unfortunately, the reality is cruel. If he wants to make his own movie, he can only pay for it himself. Even if he wants to be the lead director of a serious crew, it seems that he can only satisfy his desire by starring in He Daqi's children's dramas.

Ning Hao secretly made up his mind that he must learn a few tricks from Du Qifeng this time. After he finished filming He Daqi's four children's dramas, he would try again. If he succeeded, he would throw the award in He Daqi's face and mock him.

If this doesn't work out... Didn't my junior brother say he would help me write a script? At worst, I can just lose face and ask him for some investment. Oh, and there's also my junior brother's uncle, Brother Zhao!

"Senior Brother! Brother Hao!" He Daqi nudged Ning Hao to help him come back to his senses, and asked curiously, "What are you thinking about? I called you for a long time but you didn't respond."

"Nothing. I was just thinking about the plot of your movie, Miracle in Cell No. 7. Daqi, what did you want to call me for?"
