After listening to Qiu Guangfa's words, Fu Song picked up a cup of tea and drank it all.
After a long while, he said, "Director Qiu, I think with this change, your salary shouldn't be 20 million.
It's 200 million plus a 30% share of the box office."
Qiu Guangfa was stunned: "Really? Are you kidding me?"
Fu Song said: "You were the one who joked with me first."
Qiu Guangfa's face fell instantly: "What do you mean?"
"Literally. Do you want me to repeat it again?"
Fu Song was speechless.
Make a Chinese movie with a Western actor as the leading actor and broadcast it in English.
The most outrageous thing is that the background is still oriental.
If the film was really shot according to what Qiu Guangfa said, it would probably be criticized by the audience as soon as it was released.
Although Hollywood blockbusters are now released in English, this is a helpless move by theaters in order to maintain the original flavor of the movies.
This helplessness actually comes at the expense of most middle-aged and elderly people with rigid ideas.
However, Qiu Guangfa took it for granted that Western male protagonists and English language were more in line with the trend.
How stupid must one be to have such a train of thought?
After telling the truth about his thoughts, Fu Song sighed, "Director Qiu, I definitely believe in your ability, but we have different ideals and cannot work together. I'm afraid we can't work together anymore."
"Wait, can you explain to me clearly what you mean by different paths?"
Qiu Guang said angrily: "Boy, don't think that you are the best in the world just because you made two movies with good box office.
Military-themed films and realistic-themed films are two completely different concepts.
Military enthusiasts like tough guys, iron and blood, and the passion to kill enemies thousands of miles away.
Chinese people simply can’t produce this kind of effect, so it’s absolutely right for me to choose Westerners as the leading actors.”
Fu Song looked at him calmly: "Who said that Chinese people can't shoot this kind of effect?
On the contrary, I think that only Chinese people can be truly tough guys."
"Only Chinese people can do this?"
Qiu Guangfa seemed to have heard the most ridiculous thing in the world:
"Do you have any misunderstandings about Chinese people?
I admit that there have been a few decent movies produced in China in the past two years.
But take a look at the content of these movies?
It's so tacky and eye-catching.
Don't believe me? Then I'll explain it to you.
Take your "Dying to Survive" for example, what else is there in it besides a bunch of losers who can't afford the medicine?
But in "Lost on Journey", I only saw China's garbage-like transportation.
The plane returned halfway through its flight, and the train collapsed halfway through its journey.
There were no roads in the villages and towns that the bus went to.
In the words of Lu Xun, they are a group of sick men who don’t know when they will get better.
But it is different in Western countries.
They completed urbanization as early as the beginning of the 20th century.
Medicine, architecture, humanities, technology... Which one is not truly the best in the world?
I know you will say that I am worshipping foreigners, but is this really worshipping foreigners?
This is the truth!
Since you are not as good as others, then go and learn from them!
Invite a real Western tough guy to be the male lead and let everyone see the true charm of Western men.
This not only makes money at the box office, but also points out the most correct direction for the people of the whole country to work towards.
It's like killing two birds with one stone.
I believe that once everyone understands your painstaking efforts, they will definitely regard you as a cultural godfather.
Now you understand why I do this, right?"
After a long silence, Fu Song sighed: "I don't understand why you do this, but I understand why you look so much like those illustrations in elementary school textbooks.
Ouch, how ugly! "
Qiu Guangfa was a little confused about what Fu Song said: "What do you mean?"
Fu Song: “Oh, nothing, just a small problem.
If I really hired you, who would you choose as the leading actor in the movie?"
Qiu Guangfa picked up the phone and dialed a number: "Mo Ke, come over here."
A minute later, a big man nearly two meters tall walked in.
He widened his eyes, bulged his chest muscles, and said in a deep voice in English:
"Old Qiu, what took you so long? You short guys are really slow."
"You are still so impatient."
Qiu Guangfa said, looking at Fu Song, his tone full of pride:
"This is the male protagonist I carefully selected. Mok used to be a professional boxer and could kill a cow with one punch.
If he plays a tough guy, everyone will be impressed by his masculinity."
As soon as he finished speaking, Mork made a pose to show off his muscles. His biceps were really big.
But when Fu Song saw this scene, he felt a little bit of pain in his teeth.
He shook his head: "Old Qiu, this Mr. Mok is at best a fitness coach.
Fitness coaches demonstrate strength and beauty, and have nothing to do with being tough guys."
"What fitness coach?" Qiu Guangfa complained, "Mo Ke is a professional boxer, does he know what a professional fighter is?
None of the kung fu stars in China can be his match.
For someone like Mok, the starting fee for starring in a movie in the United States is 10 million US dollars, which is a price that is not in demand. "
From the way Qiu Guangfa spoke, it seemed as if Fu Song had made a fortune just because Mok was paid 10 million US dollars to star in Fu Song's movie.
Fu Song looked at him strangely. "So you think the reason Mo Ke is suitable for playing a tough guy is because he's a better fighter?"
"What else?"
Fu Song pointed at Wu Tianlang and said, "To be honest, for this military-themed movie, I actually wanted him to play the leading role.
