Chapter 201 Shameless Geng Zhi

Time passed by Ning Zixin complaining but gritted her teeth and persevering for more than half a month.

The first edit of "Racing" has been completed. After watching it a few times, Geng Zhi selected some unsatisfactory shots and edited them again. After a few days of busy work, the editing of this movie was initially completed.

As for their thoughts, they couldn't see where they needed to modify the fixed pattern. However, there was still time to think about it later.

After completing this work, Geng Zhi invited the director and editor to have a meal.

After more than a month of hard work, Geng Zhi was not stingy with the money for this meal. In addition to asking the artists who participated in the film in the company, he also brought Li Qi with him.

When the wine was in full swing, the director walked to Geng Zhi with a glass of wine and said, "Mr. Geng, thank you for giving me the opportunity to direct the movie. I'll give you another cup. I've done it, please feel free to do it!"

Geng Zhi stood up and accompanied the cup, saying, "I'm pointing fingers in the crew, please forgive me."

The director waved his hands repeatedly and said, "It's nothing, it's nothing. It's not called fingering, it's pointing. Your opinions have taught me a lot of new things. The movie was edited and the effect was amazing. I really learned it."

The editor also smiled and said, "Mr. Geng, I'll give you a cup. Director Liu is right. I have learned this time. I haven't done this editing method before, but it's the first time I have seen this whole movie in this style."

Geng Zhi smiled and said, "Yan Chong", and he said to Director Liu again: "Director Liu, what do you think of this style of movies?"

"A very novel narrative method. It looks messy, but the causes and consequences are explained clearly, so fans will not be able to figure out the plot. Moreover, this editing method can create humor through the camera and complement the actor's performance."

"So is Director Liu interested in making a similar movie?"

Director Liu said in surprise: "Of course I'm interested. Mr. Geng has a new plan?"

Geng Zhi smiled and said, "Let's sit down and talk."

When Director Liu sat down, Geng Zhi said: "I have an idea here. When I write it, if you are interested, use it to enrich the plot yourself. I can invest 20 million in your investment. But I don't accept other investments. In other words, the script you write will take 20 million in order to shoot it, and the cost of promotion is also included. The main actors will use them."

He pointed to Shi Yi and the others: "Their pay will not be very high either. Each 50,000 yuan is not going to give you your director fee. You can share the box office production, Director Liu, you can share the 6% share." He said to Shi Yi and the others. "Don't think that the pay for filming is low. I can share the box office. Let's talk about this when we go back."

"Director Liu, I say this, do you have any problems?"

"No." Director Liu's face turned red and excited. "Thank you Mr. Geng for your support."

Although it is only a budget of 20 million yuan, the main actors' pay is less than 500,000 yuan. Five million is left for promotion and distribution, and more than 14 million is used to make movies. Although it is a small-cost production.

"Racing" is a small cost, with a total budget of only more than 30 million. He just finished editing. Although such a movie does not have any big scenes, it can be foreseen that the box office will definitely not be low.

Geng Zhi promised to share 6%. This is to give him a chance to win both fame and fortune. As for the bad box office of the movie? Geng Zhi was not afraid of investing 20 million. What was he afraid of?

Seeing that he was like this, Geng Zhi poured the wine again, raised his glass and said, "I wish this movie a great success!"

On the way home, Geng Zhi sat in the passenger seat and Li Qi was driving.

Seeing that he was very energetic, Li Qi asked, "You invested in Director Liu just now, are you optimistic about him?"

"He is actually pretty good." Geng Zhi said with a smile. "When filming "Crazy Racing", he managed the crew well. Although I had a lot of opinions, he did everything I asked for. This shows that he has the potential to become a good director."

"What movie do you want to make?"

"It's a bit similar to "Crazy Racing". It can even be said to be a sister chapter. This time the protagonist is a stone."

He has watched "Crazy Racing" many times, but "Crazy Stone" does not. The former is filmed to make money, while the latter is to support Shi Yi and the others.

He smiled and said, "If "Crazy Racing" is successful, it will be almost a new movie made by the original cast, and it will be easier to advertise."

"That's true." Li Qi likes to see his confident look. "The Undercover King is also going to be filmed. Who do you plan to use as the male lead?"

When Geng Zhi heard the news, he said, "You will be ready so soon? When is the shooting expected to start?"

"It's half a month later." Dingyun's family is very prosperous, so it's easy to form a crew. Especially for shooting venues for many scenes, there is no need to ask for help.

Half a month later, Geng Zhi hesitated for a moment and said, "I plan to let Yang Peng play the male lead. What do you think?"

"It doesn't seem like his image is very suitable. He doesn't look strong enough."

"Let him exercise for half a month. And you can take a shot of the muscle leaking shots in the back. Let him exercise for a month, and the muscles will always come out."

Li Qi smiled and said, "Okay, let him act. What about the other ones? What are you going to arrange?"

"Geng Hao plays that Xiaogang, Shi Yi's body shape can play Boss Wu, and Tang Qing can play Wang Jin. Shen Huaien plays another undercover Zhang Qiang. Is there any female role?"

"Do you want to arrange the beautiful artist I haven't seen before?"

Geng Zhi smiled and said, "I promised to find five job opportunities for them with a salary of more than 50,000 yuan a year."

"Then let her play the boss's secretary Xiaomi. As for the salary, just give her 50,000 yuan."

Geng Zhi recalled the script and found that the role did not appear many times. The requirements for acting were also moderate. It can be used to examine Jin Bing's acting skills.

He nodded and said, "Okay." He thought for a while and asked again. "What is the total investment?"

"I thought you would consider letting Ma Cheng act, so the pay part was calculated relatively high. Since Yang Peng and the others are now allowed to act, the pay can be much lower. It's about 50 million."

"How many investors are there?"

"Just Dingyun and Geng."

Geng Zhi smiled and said, "Then we are half of us!"

Li Qi rolled her eyes at him, but said, "Okay."

She actually likes him very much for "shamelessness" who openly takes advantage of her.

Geng Zhiting breathed a sigh of relief "shamelessly".

There is this arrangement. Before their popularity can make people ignore their image, there will probably be no one asking them to shoot advertisements or conduct commercial performances. Geng Shi basically doesn't have to consider their work issues within half a year.

After the three films are released and hyped up, they will probably have a certain commercial value. Some small companies cannot afford to hire big stars, but they can probably afford to hire them.
