Chapter 916: New Movie: Science Fiction (12,000 per day, ask for subscription~)
This year, Han Heping was officially transferred from Emei Film Studio to Yanjing Film Studio as the deputy director!
However, Wu Jianye had been busy with his own affairs before, so he didn't have time to celebrate Han Heping, so he made an appointment with Han Heping when he had time tonight, and called Huang Jianxin out by the way, which can be regarded as a celebration for Han Heping!
When Han Heping and Huang Jianxin were studying at the Film Academy, they were both students of Wu Jianye, and later Wu Jianye dug Huang Jianxin to Tangting Culture, while Han Heping stayed in Emei Film Studio.
"Big factory director, congratulations!" Wu Jianye said with a smile.
Han Heping's face is also proud, and it can be seen that he is still very happy, although it seems that he has been lowered by one level from the director of Emei Film Studio to the deputy director of Yanying Studio, but Yanying Studio is one level larger than Emei Film Studio, and now it is a flat tone for Han Heping, but the meaning is different.
In the past, in Emei Film Studio, it was just like that, but now that Han Heping has come to Yanying Studio, the road in front of him is wider in an instant, and there are more choices.
In fact, the same is true of Han Heping, deputy factory director, factory director, China Film .......
"Teacher Wu, don't make fun of me, coming to Yanjing is coming to your territory, and the two of us will have to cooperate more in the future!" Han Heping said with a smile.
It was also when he came to Yanjing that Han Heping became more aware of the weight of Tangting culture in China.
Although this is just a private entertainment company, the resources in his hands at this time even exceed those of Yanying Studio, and the most important thing is that Wu Jianye has money in his hands, which is much richer than Yanying Studio, so after Han Heping came to Yanjing, the first alliance that came to mind was Wu Jianye.
Wu Jianye was also full of smiles, "No problem, if you need anything in the future, just speak as soon as possible!"
I also appreciate Han Heping and Wu Jianye very much, coupled with Han Heping's later development, it is necessary to support Han Heping whether it is public or private!
Han Heping was not polite, and said: "Don't go later, Mr. Wu, I have something I want to discuss with you now!"
Wu Jianye said: "Don't worry, let's order food first, and talk while eating!"
After speaking, Wu Jianye asked the waiter to hand over the menu to Han Heping, "Order first, let's talk later!"
Han Heping: "Then I'm welcome, I've long heard that people in the Yanjing circle like to come here, and it just so happens that I will also try their craftsmanship today!"
After speaking, Han Heping directly ordered a few of the most expensive dishes here.
When the waiter went down to prepare the wine and food, Wu Jianye looked at Han Heping a little anxious, smiled and said, "Okay, let's talk about it, what are your plans?"
Han Heping smiled and said, "Mr. Wu, does your new movie have eyebrows now?"
Wu Jianye replied: "It's almost a bit eyebrow-raising, why do you want Yan Ying Studio to get involved?"
When Han Heping asked about his new movie, Wu Jianye thought of Han Heping's idea, whose movie is the most profitable movie in China now?
Naturally, it is Wu Jianye's movie, since Wu Jianye's debut, none of the movies he has shot have not made money, the most important thing is that when Wu Jianye did not go to Hollywood, he has always invested in his own new movies with China Film, and sometimes he will join other studios.
However, with the establishment of Hengdian Film and Television City, coupled with the sufficient financial support of Tangting Culture and the country's leading equipment, as well as the establishment of special effects companies, etc., after Wu Jianye returned from Hollywood, the two films "The World of Chu Xing" and "Eternal Night", which had not yet been released, were independently invested and filmed by Tangting Culture.
Domestic studios have always wanted to cooperate with Tangting Culture, but Tangting Culture has not agreed, and now that Han Heping is a new official, he naturally hopes to win the cooperation with Tangting Culture, if Yan Film Studio can invest in Wu Jianye's next new movie, then for Han Heping, it will be regarded as a firm foothold in Yan Film Studio!
Sure enough, as Wu Jianye thought, Han Heping nodded seriously and said: "Yes, Mr. Wu, I do have this idea, although the Yanying Studio is not as good as the hardware equipment of Tangting Culture, but Yanying Studio also has its own advantages, first of all, Yanying Studio has its own distribution channels, and when the time comes, you can drink Fengge Cinema to release your new movie together, and the influence of Yanying Studio has always been there, I believe that the cooperation between Tangting Culture and Yanying Studio will definitely be a win-win situation......."
When talking about cooperation, Han Heping talked eloquently and expanded the advantages of Yanying Studio several times.
Wu Jianye didn't speak, so he watched Han Heping speak, and it wasn't until the waiter started to serve the food that Han Heping finished speaking.
"Chat while eating!" Wu Jianye said with a smile.
Han Heping said a little dry, took a sip of beer directly, and then said: "Teacher Wu, don't say it alone, you can give an attitude!"
Wu Jianye knew that if he didn't give Han Heping an accurate answer to this matter, he wouldn't let himself stop eating this mouthful, so he put down his chopsticks and preached seriously.
"In principle, I don't rule out cooperating with Yanying Studio, especially now that you are still the deputy director of Yanying Studio, even if it is to support your work, I have no opinion, but there are two things you have to be prepared!"
Han Heping was also a little moved when he heard Wu Jianye say this, everyone was mixed in this circle, just now he said so many benefits of Yanying Studio, but he himself knows that the advantages of Yanying Studio just now are not too attractive to Tangting culture, if Yanying Studio at this time is the sun in the afternoon, then now Tangting culture is the sun at noon.
And the sun in my afternoon is still the sun of the cloudy period.......
If you really want Wu Jianye to allow Yan Film Studio to participate in the investment in Wu Jianye's new movie, it still depends on the relationship between the two, and now Wu Jianye bluntly said that because he can let Yan Film Studio participate in Wu Jianye's new movie, Han Heping is naturally very moved.
"Mr. Wu, let's say it bluntly, as long as Yan Film Studio can participate in investing in your new movie, let alone two things, we have no opinion on ten things!"
Wu Jianye smiled and said, "Don't be in a hurry to agree, you can decide after I finish speaking, or discuss it with the people in the factory after you go back." ”
Han Heping said: "You say!"
"The first thing is that the movie "Eternal Night" is a little different from my previous films, and I can't be sure if he will be a box office success!" Wu Jianye said slowly.
As his original first movie, Wu Jianye really has no way to determine whether this movie will be a success, and now the only thing Wu Jianye is certain is that this movie will definitely have a great impact on the domestic audience visually, but in terms of story, whether the domestic audience will buy it or not, he has no confidence, so he can only wait until the movie is released.
As for why I say this movie now, it is because in the film industry, the only benchmark to measure whether this director is an excellent director is whether the film can create greater benefits.
The benefits include box office sales and revenues from the videotape market.
Don't think about the income from domestic video tapes, it is still the existence of all cultural workers who are eager to eat their flesh and drink their blood....... Piracy!
As for the overseas box office, whether Xianxia movies can be recognized by audiences outside Southeast Asia is also an uncertain question mark.
If the film cannot bring benefits to the investor, then the director of the film will also be knocked off the altar, and there will be fewer investors who can be attracted.
In particular, Wu Jianye's "Eternal Night" has invested nearly 200 million, and if such a huge investment really fails, I believe that except for Wu Jianye, it is an injury that no director in China can bear.
Wu Jianye said this to make Han Heping think clearly, because if his movie "Eternal Night" fails, Yan Film Studio will definitely reassess whether it will invest in its new movie.
After all, Yan Film Studio is not Han Heping's alone!
"Don't worry, Mr. Wu, I have great confidence in you, I believe that your movie will be successful!" Han Heping said immediately, he naturally knew that Wu Jianye was thinking about himself, but the more so, the more Han Heping didn't think that Wu Jianye's movie would fail.
Wu Jianye smiled and said: "The second thing is that my new movie will be a science fiction movie, and the investment will even exceed the current "Eternal Night", if you Yan Film Studio wants to invest, then how much do you Yan Film Studio want to invest in this movie? Can you come up with this money?"
When Han Heping heard that the investment in Wu Jianye's new movie would surpass the current "Eternal Night", he couldn't help but open his mouth, and finally quietly closed it, and then looked at Huang Jianxin, who was sitting opposite him.
Huang Jianxin spread his hands and said, "Don't look at me about this, I don't know about Mr. Wu's new movie!"
In fact, Huang Jianxin just knew that Wu Jianye's new movie was a science fiction film, and he didn't know anything else.
"Mr. Wu, how much are you going to invest in your new movie?" Han Heping couldn't help but ask.
Wu Jianye said with a smile: "There is no cap, as for the specific amount, it should be more than 70 million!"
When Han Heping heard 70 million, he smiled and breathed a sigh of relief, and said: "Mr. Wu, you are really joking, how can 70 million exceed your current ....... of "Eternal Night""
Before he finished speaking, the smile on Han Heping's face was gone!
Wu Jianye also smiled and said, "Yes, it's 70 million US dollars, and this 70 million doesn't include the cost of publicity!"
Huang Jianxin sat on the other side of Wu Jianye, and he couldn't help but be surprised at this time, if it was really 70 million US dollars, then this movie would exceed the shooting cost of all the films shot by Wu Jianye before!
Han Heping didn't speak for a long time, if Wu Jianye's new film investment even reached the cost of the current "Eternal Night", Han Heping would dare to make a decision now, and he would definitely invest, but now the shooting cost of Wu Jianye's new movie is as high as 70 million US dollars.
It's not up to you to decide.
"Mr. Wu, you really gave me a problem, this matter is really not something I can decide alone, I have to discuss it with our factory director!"
"Well, this is as it should be, but you have to be mentally prepared, the 70 million I said is just an estimated budget now, and when it comes to the official shooting, I don't rule out that additional investment will be made at that time!" Wu Jianye reminded again.
Han Heping didn't have the heart to calculate these anymore at this time, there was no difference between the investment of 70 million US dollars and the investment of 70 million plus for him!
"Mr. Wu, do you have a script for this movie now, I can show it to our boss!" Han Heping said, a movie that has reached an investment of 70 million US dollars or even higher than this amount, even if Han Heping wants to get it, he must have a script!
Wu Jianye's smile was still bright, and he said: "The script is only half written, and there is a lot of professional knowledge involved in it, I think even if you take it back, you may not be able to find something too outstanding!"
There is a very fatal flaw of science fiction movies, that is, some science fiction movie fans will be very fond of looking for all kinds of bugs in this kind of movie.
Therefore, whether a science fiction movie can succeed or not, the knowledge of the professional field is very important.
Of course, it doesn't mean that every step of the sci-fi movie must be completely consistent with all kinds of data in reality, in that case, it will be easy to put the cart before the horse.
Movies are always content king!
Han Heping finally showed a wry smile and said, "Okay, this thing is really difficult!"
Wu Jianye looked at Han Heping with a smile, since he wanted to support Han Heping, Wu Jianye naturally had to give him more capital, and said: "I know that Yanying Studio has been cooperating with banks in the past two years, if you Yanying Studio wants to take out a loan in the future, I can help you contact Yanjing Standard Chartered Bank." ”
Here Wu Jianye is talking about you, not Yanying Studio, and the meaning is already very clear.
If this is a different director, maybe he can't understand what Wu Jianye means, but Wu Jianye believes that Han Heping will definitely understand.
Sure enough, Han Heping immediately smiled after hearing this: "Teacher Wu, you are serious!"
"Of course, no matter whether Yanying Studio and Tangting Culture will cooperate or not, I can guarantee that you can get this loan!" Wu Jianye said firmly.
After Han Heping listened, he immediately picked up the wine glass in front of him: "Teacher Wu, if you thank you, I won't say more!"
Wu Jianye smiled and said, "I can't listen to what I said!"
Han Heping laughed and drank all the liquor in his hand!
Now the large domestic studios have redundant personnel, rotten systems, and many places to use money, if their films can continue to succeed, it is fine, as long as there is a big production that loses money, it will be an unbearable pain for them.
But even so, Wu Jianye was willing to let Yanying Studio take out a loan from Standard Chartered Bank, in fact, he fell in love with Yanying Studio's talents, film library, and their photography location.......
Yanying Studio can borrow loans from old trees to sprout, which is naturally good, and with these things, even if Yanying Studio does not have old trees to sprout, Wu Jianye will not lose money......
