Andy Lau's next words made Liang Kun understand why Tang Jili took the initiative to find it. It's more troublesome to prepare a movie. It's not just a script. Funds, crew members, etc. will be troubled for a long time after the project is launched.

"Myth" only has the first draft of the script, so it's still early to determine all the important actors. Tang Jili wanted to use this as a topic to get to know Liang Kun and cooperate with the TV series first. Whether he was investing in TV series and asked Liang Kun to play a role, or Yingyi Entertainment filmed his girlfriend to play a role, it would be beneficial to both parties.

Tomorrow, Tang Jili invites Andy Lau and Liang Kun to have dinner and will take his girlfriend Ruby Lin to go with him.

That's right, Tang Jili's girlfriend is a famous "silly white sweet" professional, including the role of the Virgin Mary of Flower, Ziwei, Green Tea Virgin Mary Ruping, Empress Ma Fuya, Fairy Virgin Mary Su Daji, etc.

In parallel worlds, Su Daji can be played as a Virgin Mary, dare you believe that Ruby Lin has such strength. Netizens selected the top ten Virgin Mary roles in movies and TV dramas, at least one-third were played by her, and the other one-third were played by Tang Qi, and the remaining quotas were competed for others.

Moreover, Ruby Lin is also a singer. She has sung famous songs such as "You Are the Wind and I am the Sand" and "Dream" that make people want to have a big nostrils and stretch out their hands like Iron Man. No matter how much money she is given, Liang Kun will never write songs for her...

Andy Lau smiled and said, "If you want to shoot a movie, you must wait for at least two years. You have enough time to practice your acting skills. He wants to make a big-produced movie. I have suffered a loss in big-produced movies, but I don't want to invest in such movies. This time I came to Yanjing to meet him and talk to him. If you want to cooperate, it is a TV series. The best result is that he will find other investors in the future and you will play the leading role."

Liang Kun sighed: "Maybe he is just talking casually? If you get funds, you have to follow the investors' arrangements and find big names to act. You only contact me for hype."

"There are also the possibility you mentioned, but he is optimistic that you have real skills, good image, and a general. He also firmly believes that your reputation will be greater in two years and I really want to know you."

"See you, I'm not optimistic about shooting blockbusters in this environment, and the mainland film market is not good enough. I also recommend filming TV series again in the second half of the year."

"I'll go back tomorrow, let's talk about it when I meet."

Tang Qi waited for Liang Kun to hang up the phone before approaching and asked, "Are you talking about TV series? Don't you want to shoot during the winter vacation?"

"Yes, I will have a good chat with Brother Hua tomorrow. It is best to film in November." Liang Kun said with a smile.

"Why? Don't you want to act with me earlier?" Tang Qi was a little depressed.

She has made preparations in all aspects, and Lin Jiadong also said that she acted well, and Liang Kun knew that she wanted to become famous as soon as possible so that she could get closer to Liang Kun in her career.

Tang Qi often goes online, and many netizens leave messages to discuss Liang Kun, believing that only Asian queen-level stars are worthy of him. And she and Ayumi Hamasaki are also far from their careers. No netizens have ever discussed her, and they don’t know if she is the one.

Liang Kun stroked her hair and smiled and said, "Of course I'm willing to film with you, but filming after the festival is too hasty. Brother Hua took on several movies and had to film the sequel to "Infernal Affairs". He doesn't have much energy to invest in TV series. We have to contact a suitable good director to try to make classics."

"Are you really afraid that I will not act well?" Tang Qi smiled on his face.

"Of course not. We practice together, you are very good now. Ruby Lin has no chance to compete with you. Brother Hua and I will reject her tomorrow." Liang Kun immediately patted his chest and promised.

Because there were others, Tang Qi blushed into an apple, and the others pretended not to see it.

This kind of TV series does not require actors to have high acting skills. In fact, it is indeed possible to find a good director to film, but Liang Kun must convince Andy Lau to postpone it. The real reason is that SARS is about to break out in Yanjing.

Filming during this period is not possible. Once you encounter something like a city lockdown, you will either stop work or force shooting. Neither choice is good, you will lose money or become a bad example.

"If you want to make a blockbuster in the future, can you recommend me to the crew to play a small role? Just have lines." Sun Rui asked with a smile.

"There will not be a blockbuster for the time being. The one Brother Hua said was waiting for at least two years, and we will not invest. If you want to make a movie in China, the chance of losing money is too high. If you want to shoot, we have to practice a low-cost drama first." Liang Kun answered seriously.

Xu Zhenzhen asked: "Who wants to find you to make an action movie?"

"Tang Jili, are you familiar with this name?" Liang Kun said with a smile.

"Hey, I'll go, are you going to be the second Cheng Long? If he asks you to make a movie, will it be better for us to invest?" Sun Rui said excitedly.

Tang Jili is so famous that he is particularly good at shooting action movies and is a versatile talent.

He entered the entertainment industry with martial arts. In the 1980s, he worked as a martial arts actor and a martial arts stuntman in many companies. He served as a stuntman for many famous actors, including female stars. He loved movies and was studious, and later worked as a workplace, martial arts director, screenwriter, etc., and became an assistant director step by step.

In 1990, 30-year-old Tang Jili formed a self-made company to film "The Dragon of the Magic Realm". In the film, he served as a producer, screenwriter and director. After the release, he achieved a box office of nearly 10 million.

In 1991, he directed "Police Story 3 Super Police" with a investment of 80 million Hong Kong dollars by Jiahe Company, achieving amazing results. The film broke the highest box office record in many Southeast Asian countries, and Cheng Long won the Best Actor Award for the first time for the film.

Next, Tang Jili's career reached its peak. No director could work with Cheng Long more than twice, and he did it; before filming "The Red Fan District", no Hongjiang film could become the box office champion of American movies, and he did it; Chinese actors could never become the protagonists of American TV series, because he, Hong Fengbao, did it in "The Crossing the River".

When the friends started chatting, they all thought it was an opportunity, but Liang Kun didn't think so.

"Don't be too optimistic. I think this guy has gone astray since he came back from Hollywood and can't cooperate at all. He played Hollywood in Hong Kong, filmed "Thunder Men" for $12 million, with a box office of only HK$20.51 million. His last film directed was the TV series "Ambition" that played football."

Liang Shuang asked: "Do you want to reject this opportunity to work with a big director?"

"If it's not to be pushed, I won't agree to cooperate. If he wants a theme song for his film, I can write one, and it's okay to sing it. It's better to forget it when shooting a blockbuster." Liang Kun said lazily.

Tang Qi still felt that the opportunity was rare. "Isn't "Hero" a big box office? My teacher thinks that the mainland film industry is about to enter a golden period and will become more and more popular in the future."

"Heroes really exploded, and there is a premise that stars gather together. In terms of the number of stars, the lineup configuration of "Heroes" is no worse than "Infernal Affairs". Without celebrities making gimmicks to attract fans, no matter how good the filming is, people are unwilling to enter the theater." Liang Kun continued to be unpopular.

Xu Zhenzhen smiled and said, "You are actually not confident. I thought you would think you are the guarantee of the box office."

Liang Kun smiled and said, "I know myself and will not be blinded by success several times. The money spent on filming a blockbuster can be made in many low-cost dramas, and love and comedy can be made more money."

Sun Rui asked: "Will our company shoot blockbusters in the future?"

"I will definitely do it. Don't think about blockbusters first. Make more movies with high reputation to accumulate popularity. After many theaters are built in China, we will try to make big-made movies and find a group of celebrities to play. Good movies this year may not have a good box office. Shooting comedy and New Year's films during the Chinese New Year can appropriately increase the cost, so don't consider other things."

Liang Kun wanted to start with TV series and proceed step by step. He could not have been able to have a single-money box office box office in an era where box office was not available. Unless he was not filming in China, the foreign film market is much better now.

In Liang Kun's opinion, the movie "Myth" is destined to fail, and the box office in the parallel world is bleak.

Of course, Liang Kun is not the first candidate to replace Cheng Long. Cheng Long is currently doing well in Hollywood and will not go back to Xiangjiang to film. So when writing the first draft of the script, Tang Jili thought of Liang Kun.

The butterfly effect is not great. After Cheng Long's "80 Days of Traveling the Earth" was defeated, he will go back to Xiangjiang to film. He will definitely contact his old partner Tang Jili.

In the end, the "Myth" they created was not affordable for most people. Liu Dehua's big production was only invested in tens of millions of yuan, which he felt that the risk was too high and he was reluctant to participate. The final amount of the original "Myth" could shock him.

In the parallel world, Myth invested 15 million US dollars, which was about 120 million RMB at the exchange rate in 2004. This investment is definitely a top domestic production.

"Hero" invested $30 million twice as much, but "Hero" has a box office of 250 million yuan in mainland China and a global box office of 177 million US dollars, which is equivalent to less than 1.4 billion yuan for the people. This film opened the era of blockbuster films in mainland China and became a milestone work in Chinese films.

After the release of "Myth", the box office was a failure. It only received 97.01 million yuan in China, and only 21.5 million US dollars worldwide, about 174 million yuan.

The film's domestic share ratio is only 22%, and the film company only earned more than 23 million yuan. The box office was mostly based on China. It was a huge loss. The movie was invested by Cheng Long's Emperor Pictures. It can be seen that after the script came out, Tang Jili could not find anyone to invest for a long time.

This company was jointly opened by Cheng Long in August 2003 with his friend Emperor King President Yang Shoucheng. The first work was "New Police Story". It has a bad reputation and a cold box office. It lost 30 million yuan.

Now Cheng Long shoots movies according to Hollywood standards. If he invests too small, he will not play them. If he invests too much, he is afraid that he will not be able to recover the cost. Therefore, no one in China can afford Cheng Long, so he can only invest and shoot by himself.

If Liang Kun wants to star in "Myth", he probably came up with part of his investment. How could he invest in a film that must be compensated?

Liang Kun doesn't like this movie either. What impressed me the most was Kim Hee Sun's dance and the hot figure of an Indian actress.
