Jiang Wen's resume is also relatively rich and legendary. He is a classic example of "acting well leads to directing".

Jiang Wen, who was born in a major, devoted himself to his acting career after graduating from China National Opera.

He has participated in several classic film and television dramas, such as Puyi in "The Last Queen" and Qin Shutian in "Furong Town".

The superb acting skills displayed left a deep impression on everyone in the industry and gained recognition.

Since 1991, Jiang Wen, who has been prominent in the entertainment industry, has also accumulated a lot of popularity and foundation, and began to challenge the path of directing.

His debut novel "Sunny Day" was adapted from the novel "Animals Are Ferocious" and was widely praised.

Internationally, it also won the Golden Lion Award at the Venice Film Festival and other awards.

And this movie also made the protagonist Xia Yu famous, making this fledgling actor become the best actor!

It can be said that "Sunny Day" made Jiang Wen famous and attracted much attention in the industry.

The subsequent "The Sun Also Rises" still maintained a high level and won many awards.

But for Wang Cong, Jiang Wen's favorite movie is still the distinctive anti-Japanese film "The Japanese Are Coming".

Since the end of the Anti-Japanese War, film and television dramas with this theme have become common, and there are many high-quality films.

Most of them are featureless and mainly focus on praise and praise.

But Jiang Wen is different. This "The Japanese Are Coming" is different from previous anti-Japanese films.

Instead of focusing on the battlefield or the cruelty of the Sakura people, the black and white images focus on a group of ordinary farmers.

This group of farmers represents precisely the millions of people who have experienced the war and suffered hardships.

Unlike the patriotic sentiments of students and intellectuals, these farmers revealed nothing but pedantry and ignorance.

This great belief of "hatred of family and country" is not as real as a bite of white flour steamed buns to a farmer.

Although "The Devil Is Coming" was well received internationally for its portrayal of human nature and won awards.

But this absurd idea is not recognized by the higher authorities, which is why this film has been banned in the mainland for ten years.

But Jiang Wen did not shrink because "The Devils Are Coming" was banned, and created "The Sun Also Rises".

And this "Let the Bullets Fly" has been four years since "The Sun Also Rises"!

Wang Cong is extremely familiar with the classic film "Let the Bullets Fly" and can even recite some classic lines by heart.

"Let the Bullets Fly" is not an original script. The prototype of the story comes from the writer Ma Shitu's "Night Tales".

It is a legendary story that happened during the Beiyang Warlord Period.

In the story, there are Zhang Mozhi, a green forest bandit, Lao Tang, a powerful thief, and Huang Silang, a tyrant in the southern country.

The three people's overt and covert fighting is also the biggest highlight of this film.

Wang Cong read the script carefully for a while and recalled this classic again.

After a while, he closed the script and looked up at Jiang Wen.

"Director Jiang, this movie "Let the Bullets Fly"... is very good, I am very optimistic about it,

But this should be a commercial film, Director Jiang, you are a literary and artistic film monk, how could you think of making a commercial film?"

Hearing Wang Cong's affirmation of "Let the Bullets Fly", Jiang Wen also smiled and felt happy.

He has put a lot of effort into the script of "Let the Bullets Fly" and has been preparing it for four years, so he is naturally very confident.

After hearing Wang Cong's question, Jiang Wen smiled bitterly and spoke slightly.

"Chairman, as you said, I have a background in making literary films. My previous films have won awards and won praise in the industry."

"But efforts must be rewarded after all, and no one's money is wasted."

"Just like the last film "The Sun Also Rises," Yang Shoucheng from Emperor Film and Television Company on Hong Kong Island contacted me and wanted to invest.

"I also said in advance that "The Sun Also Rises" has a boring plot and will not do well at the box office, but Yang Shoucheng still agreed."

"This movie, which invested 50 million yuan, only ended up with a box office of 17 million yuan. It really lost all its money."

"Since then, I have wanted to write a profitable film, and I want to prove that I, Jiang Wen, can be successful in making commercial films.

"So I prepared for four years, and "Let the Bullets Fly" came into being."

When Jiang Wen said this, he paused briefly and took a sip of tea.

"Some time ago, Yang Shoucheng still found me and expressed his belief in my work and also wanted to invest in "Let the Bullets Fly."

"But I refused. First, I felt that the last film "The Sun Also Rises" really caused Yang Shoucheng a big loss, and I was too embarrassed to cooperate again.

The second reason is that the cost of "Let the Bullets Fly" will be higher. I also value it very much and want to find an investor who really understands movies. "

After Jiang Wen finished speaking, he looked at Wang Cong "with burning eyes.

"Well, so Director Jiang, you found me and you think I understand movies and won't refuse to invest in "Let the Bullets Fly"?"

"Yes, I have been observing your Yuanda Film and Television recently, and the artists signed by it are all powerful.

And several of your movies are also of high quality, so I believe in you and want to cooperate with you.

Wang Cong laughed and nodded.

"Director Jiang is a smart man, and I am really optimistic about the film "Let the Bullets Fly." Yuanda Pictures has invested in it!

When Jiang Wen heard that Wang Cong agreed, a smile appeared on his face.

"I estimate the cost of this big-budget film to be over 100 million, so I think, Chairman, you can invest 50 million."

"When the time comes to share the box office share, I will give you 40% of Yuanda Film and Television!"

"Well, no problem. The script is good and money is not an issue."

Although an investment of 50 million is already a lot.

You should know that there are two upcoming movies, "Crazy Racing" and "Unfortunate Road".

The total investment cost is less than 15 million, less than one-third of 50 million.

But you get what you pay for, and big-budget movies can often bring more traffic and revenue.

If you don't enter the tiger's den, you won't get the tiger's cubs. Wang Cong naturally understands this truth.

And (Wang Nuohao) and in Wang Cong's impression, the final box office of "Let the Bullets Fly" was close to seven.

Excluding other shares, he got about 200 million, which is a sure profit!

"The chairman is also a cheerful person. This "Let the Bullets Fly" will definitely not disappoint you.

"But I encountered some problems in terms of casting."

"Oh? What's the problem?"

"The cost of "Let the Bullets Fly" is so high, mainly because I want to invite several big names to participate.

"Among the three protagonists, I can play Zhang Muzhi myself, and for Huang Silang and the military advisor, I want Zhou Runfa and Ge You to participate."

"It's a pity that I'm not familiar with them, so I don't know how to speak. These two big guys may not like me, so I deleted it."

Wang Cong's eyes also shone when he listened to Jiang Wen's words.

"Oh? Let Uncle Ge and Chow Yun-fat participate?! Then this is indeed a big production."

"Maybe I can try to get them to come over."
