Section 19
Compared to this, the promotional video shot with Zhu Baoguo can only be said to be better than nothing.
The Chinese martial arts circle is small enough, and Zhu Baoguo's influence is even more of a drop in the ocean. If Su Wei wants to truly obtain the fighting power of a martial arts master, there must be a sufficiently convincing comparison.
Sanda and free fighting are competitive events recognized by the vast majority of people, and they are definitely enough to be used as a stepping stone. Invite a very famous professional athlete to play an exhibition match with you and publicize it, so that the credibility will be much higher.
It is not too difficult to persuade a Sanda or boxing athlete to bet on his reputation and career to cooperate with Su Wei to shoot a promotional video, but there will be hidden dangers.
Everyone's pursuit is different. When the video of Su Wei beating him is spread all over the Internet, if the other party can't stand the pressure and comes out to clarify, it will be a devastating damage to Su Wei's plan and personality.
This is the first time Su Wei has tried to touch the extraordinary system with the word spirit. Before, whether it was money or chess level, it was something that existed in the public's cognition. If martial arts can convince most people, its circle will not be so small.
According to Su Wei's experience and understanding of the Word Spirit, roughly speaking, the more serious the deviation of his boasting from reality, the more people need to trust it, and the Word Spirit can rewrite reality.
The balance of the bank card and the change of silver into gold are all played within the rules of this world, including the level of chess, which only affects Su Wei himself. The Word Spirit just saves him time for learning and practicing.
But martial arts are different, especially the traditional impression of martial arts in Chinese people.
Since the history of China, the word "knight" has been running through ancient and modern times. And knights break the ban with martial arts, and this "martial arts" is always beyond the scientific limit of the human body in the social impression.
This time, the plan has begun to challenge the rules of the world, and naturally, Su Wei is unsure. He is not sure how many people need to believe in it to make it a reality. But if it cannot be achieved through the live broadcast room, then investing resources to promote the filmed video is a must.
Su Wei needs to ensure that the opponent who is co-filming with him will not have an adverse impact on his plan at this stage.
To ensure this, rice alone is not enough. The biggest difference between humans and machines lies in their unrestrained thinking ability.
However, Su Wei has a solution.
…
A few days later, after Zhu Baoguo's affairs were dealt with, Su Wei directly contacted Shen Haoyu to consult about the recent schedule of the "big director" he mentioned. After learning that he was not busy recently, he asked Shen Haoyu to organize a meeting and contact him.
Half an hour later, good news came from Shen Haoyu.
So, Su Wei refunded his ticket back to Xiajing and went directly to Jingmen. It was dusk when Su Wei arrived.
The station in Jingmen was not big, and Su Wei easily found the driver holding a sign in the crowd. Not long after, the driver took him to a magnificent hotel.
When Su Wei entered the door, Shen Haoyu was very respectful and stood up to greet him directly.
"Hey, the real boss is here! Director Zhou, this is the billionaire boss I mentioned to you, don't neglect him."
"Boss Su, nice to meet you. Boss Shen just kept praising you for your ability, but I didn't expect you to be so young. You are indeed a young and promising person."
Director Zhou's name is Zhou Yulong. He is slightly fat, with a middle-parted hairstyle and a suit. He looks very familiar. Not surprisingly, Su Wei should have seen him on TV. He has directed many famous movies and can be regarded as a well-known director.
The sedan chair is carried by people. Su Wei asked Shen Haoyu to introduce Zhou Yulong. Originally, he asked Zhou Yulong to do something, but looking at Zhou Yulong's attitude, it seemed that he was trying to please Su Wei. Su Wei didn't know what he was up to, but he didn't rush to ask.
After exchanging pleasantries with Zhou Yulong and others, Su Wei found a seat and sat down. Shen Haoyu immediately notified the waiter to start the dishes.
It is a tradition for Chinese people to discuss business over a wine table. Zhou Yulong wanted to toast Su Wei, but Su Wei did not drink, but tea instead. He did not know his alcohol tolerance, so he simply did not drink. With the Word Spirit in his body, if he got drunk and boasted something incredible, it would be a disaster.
Shen Haoyu only played the role of a bridge-maker. After Su Wei came, he handed the stage to him. With his status, it was naturally impossible for him to do anything to liven up the atmosphere.
There were six people at the table, in addition to Zhou Su Shen, there were one man and two women.
The man had a zombie face and was serious. Zhou Yulong introduced that this man's surname was Wen, and his name was Xiaofeng. He was a very famous martial arts instructor in the circle. The other two female guests were third-tier celebrities found by Shen Haoyu.
It was not so easy to get out of the circle behind the scenes. Su Wei naturally had not heard of Wen Xiaofeng's name, but Zhou Yulong said he was powerful, so Su Wei believed it for the time being.
After three rounds of tea, Su Wei did not take the initiative to state his purpose, but Zhou Yulong told him all his demands.
It turned out that he had a martial arts script in his hand, and he thought it was very promising. But in recent years, the market response to martial arts films has generally not been very good, so he couldn't find a suitable investor for a while.
Before Shen Haoyu found Zhou Yulong, he even wanted to sign a bet agreement with the investor. But Shen Haoyu said that he had a friend who seemed to be very interested in action guidance for martial arts films, so he came to try his luck.
Mainly because Shen Haoyu said that Su Wei had "a lot of spare money".
"Director Zhou, I do have some spare money recently, and I also want to invest in movies. However, for this movie I invested in, I have some special requirements."
Here it comes, the investors are meddling in the script.
Zhou Yulong lamented the current living environment of the film industry, but he could do nothing about it. He could only hold his head high and pretend to be expectant.
"Oh? I'd like to hear it!"
Chapter 26 Others laugh at me being too crazy
In the film and television industry, capital can be seen everywhere intervening in production. It is not uncommon to assign actors to certain roles in the script, add scenes at random, act like a big shot on the set, etc.
What future can a group of laymen guide professionals have? Many film and television dramas will fail, which actually has nothing to do with the script, director, publicity, etc.
Zhou Yulong is very disgusted with this situation, but he dare not offend the capital. Because he is also afraid of being squeezed out by the capital.
Just when he thought that Su Wei was going to make some drastic reforms to the film he was about to shoot, the conditions proposed by Su Wei made him scratch his head.
"Director Zhou, my request is very simple, and I will not interfere with the direction of your script. I just need you to add a set of shots of a Tai Chi master fighting a Sanda champion in the new movie. I will play the Tai Chi master as a guest, and find a reliable Sanda champion to fight with me."
What do you mean? You want to add a plot, but you say you won't interfere with the direction of my script? It's a bit shameless!
"Hey, Boss Su, can you explain it more clearly? I don't quite understand what you mean."
"Tsk!" Su Wei paused and organized his words: "What I mean is that I need to borrow your team to shoot a two or three minute short film. The specific content is that the Tai Chi master played by me completely beats a Sanda champion."
"???" Zhou Yulong looked confused.
I understand every word you said, so what does this have to do with my movie?
"This... Boss Su, why don't you take a look at the script first?"
"Why don't you understand? How your script is performed has nothing to do with me. I want to beat a Sanda champion, and you arrange for a martial arts instructor to design a set of moves for me. Put the final footage into your new script. I don't care whether you use it as a memory or as a background board in the TV environment. You just need to make sure that the footage can appear in your new movie."
What? That's it?
Zhou Yulong was a little bit unbelieving: "Anything else?"
"Yes, I want to shoot this footage first, and give it to me immediately after shooting, so that I can show it to others. As for my opponent, you help me find a more reliable Sanda champion. The so-called reliable means that after I get this footage, I can make him shut up before the movie is released, understand?"
Zhou Yulong understood that this young master Su was a fool.
He wanted to show off in the circle of rich young men with the video of himself beating up the Sanda champion.
But if he directly found the Sanda champion, he would definitely not be happy. It's called a movie. Anyway, the truth will be revealed after the movie is released. The video will not affect the reputation and career of the Sanda champion, so people will not react too much.
This guy knows how to play. When the movie is released, Su Wei can still show off the movie to the rich young people: Haha, you have been fooled!
Zhou Yulong was happier and happier. Someone invested in the script he liked, and someone was even willing to pay for part of the publicity and promotion work for him.
Such a cute fool, let alone a lantern, you can't find it even if you hold a spotlight.
"I understand, I understand! Boss Su, I dare not say anything else, but I can absolutely guarantee this. Before the movie is released, no one will know that the clip of 'Tai Chi Grandmaster Beating Sanda Champion' is from the movie, and the agreement will be signed, you can rest assured!"
"That's right! Very smart!" Su Wei gave Zhou Yulong a thumbs up to show his praise.
"Boss Su, do you want to review the script? What's the budget for this?"
"Forget about the script. I believe in Director Zhou's vision. He said he would not interfere with your filming, and he will definitely do what he said. As for the funds, I will give you 200 million yuan first. If it is not enough, you can ask me again. I only have one request, get my things done as soon as possible, the sooner the better."
"Okay, okay! Boss Su, leave your contact information, and I will ask Director Wen to design the action later. Once I find a suitable opponent, I will contact you as soon as possible."
Martial arts is not science fiction, so there is no need for so many special effects. For a movie, 200 million is definitely a big production. Zhou Yulong felt that today was definitely an auspicious day, otherwise, where can you find a wronged person like Su Wei?
The guests and hosts had a happy meal. After the meal, after seeing Zhou Yulong off, Shen Haoyu originally planned to take Su Wei and the two little stars out for a chic, but was unexpectedly rejected by Su Wei.
So, Shen Haoyu's eyes changed when he looked at Su Wei.
"Brother Su! Tell me the truth, you invested 200 million, is it really just for that video?"
"What else?"
Shen Haoyu quietly took a half step back: "Brother Su, it has to be you! I can't think of such an interesting way to play."
The thoughts of the rich second generation cannot be guessed by common sense. In order to prevent Shen Haoyu from interfering, Su Wei directly said: "I can't take you this time. If you really want to play, find a new crew!"
"Forget it, I'm not interested in martial arts. Even if I want to play, I have to find an idol drama and play the leading role!"
"That's right, the mad emperor is naturally the leading role wherever he goes."
Su Wei laughed with Shen Haoyu, but sneered in his heart.
Others laughed at me for being too crazy, I laughed at others for not seeing through. You guys, wait and see the show!
...
Those who can be martial arts instructors in movies must have real kung fu skills, and Wen Xiaofeng is one of the best. Fighting scenes in martial arts movies are divided into two directions, one is performance-oriented, and the other is actual combat-oriented.
If there is a knowledgeable frame-by-frame analysis, the martial arts of the performance department will have many flaws. Of course, the martial arts movements of the performance department may not be so exquisite, but they must be very beautiful.
The main body that provides Su Wei with trust is more ordinary netizens, rather than industry insiders. Zhou Yulong asked Su Wei to choose, and he naturally chose the performance-oriented one.
It should be noted that the core of "unclear but powerful" is not "unclear", but "powerful".
As the saying goes, laymen watch the excitement, and experts watch the doorway. Only when the fight is beautiful will the onlookers "feel powerful". If the fight is ugly, laymen will frown at a glance: That's it? Tai Chi Grandmaster? Don't make fun of me!
Zhou Yulong acted quickly. After receiving Su Wei's funds, he formed a team in two or three days and started casting. Before that, he had already found a suitable boxer to play against Su Wei - Wu Yong.
Wu Yong is well-known in the Sanda circle. He has won the National Sanda Championship three times, including two in the 65kg class and one in the 70kg class. He is more than enough to be a touchstone for Su Wei.
Zhou Yulong's new movie is called "Wu Yang", and its core is "Wu Yang". In order to perfectly integrate the plot specified by Su Wei into the movie, Zhou Yulong waved his hand and directly changed one of the villains who played Muay Thai into an unlimited underground fighter, so that it can perfectly match Wu Yong's attack habits.
The battle between Su Wei and Wu Yong took place in the memory of this villain. He was beaten up by the "Tai Chi Grandmaster" played by Su Wei, so he had malice towards Chinese martial arts and carefully planned to trample it under his feet.
Su Wei didn't care about the specific plot at all, he only cared about his fight scene. It's just that because Wu Yong, the villain, runs through the whole film, the salary naturally rose.
Su Wei was very generous. With a wave of his hand, he directly raised Wu Yong's salary from 1.5 million to 8 million, which was five times the original amount. He did this just to make Wu Yong behave himself. And this trick was indeed very effective and had been tried and tested many times.
