Oriental DreamWorks has many directors, ranging from internationally renowned to unknown in China.

The treatment is different, but it is not difficult for those who have the ability to get ahead.

Like Tong Cheng and others before, they just made online movies.

Oriental DreamWorks has a relatively well-established system in this regard. The film directed by the company is naturally invested once the company has reviewed it.

In addition, the company will also participate in the projects of other film and television companies, and naturally directors of other companies will bring scripts to attract investment.

Like some slightly smaller film and television companies, if they invest too much, they will basically go to Oriental DreamWorks.

There are profits and losses, but they also earn more and lose less, especially in large investments, and there are few misses.

This is also the unique vision of Jiang Xingwen and others.

"An independent director named Roden. Jiang Xingwen said, "He and Jiang Bin are still alumni. After returning to China, he naturally founded a film studio. ”

Jiang Xingwen said, and then handed the script to Zhang Pu.

He read the script and thought it was very good, although there were risks, but if it was successful, it would have unimaginable benefits.

Chinese commercial films have been sluggish, which is related to the previous market. Nowadays, with the expansion of the film market and the rapid development of commercial films, the genre is too simple, and many of the film genres that are very marketable in the international market are blank in Chinese films.

Except for historical films and action films, there are no films that can be done in Chinese-language films before.

And it is difficult for historical films to make a difference internationally. This may also be the reason why almost all Chinese stars who go abroad are action stars.

Now science fiction films have become famous in one fell swoop, but what about the others?

None of the disaster movies seem to be decent.

If this film is successful, not to mention that compared with those Hollywood disaster blockbusters, as long as the difference is not too big, then it is labeled like "The Wandering Earth" and other films, and is known as "opening the door to Chinese disaster films", so do you still need to worry about the box office of the film?

Jiang Xingwen is entangled, but he has a little less confidence in the director's ability.

He naturally talked to the director, but anyone can say beautiful things.

If you don't invest, you seem to be missing something.

invest, and I don't have much confidence in the director, so I have a little less confidence.

As the general manager, Jiang Xingwen has always been stable, not aggressive, and less risk-taking.

"Doomsday World?" Zhang Pu looked at the title and nodded.

This kind of film is indeed in a blank state among Chinese films. It's not that there is no market for this kind of film, but the investment is large and the risk is not small.

Ordinary investors rarely come across this kind of film. Moreover, there are few domestic directors who are good at this kind of theme.

"Doomsday World" tells the story of the earth's climate changes caused by the greenhouse effect, and the world is about to fall into the second ice age.

This film reminded Zhang Pu of "The Day After Tomorrow".

Of course, the plot characters are different, after all, the background is set in Huaxia.

is also a lot more stingy than "The Day After Tomorrow".

Maybe it's because of the cost of investment and production, it's a little constrained, but since it's the end of the world, it's natural to show global changes, not just China.

This film seems to be only aimed at the domestic market.

"How?"

Jiang Xingwen put down the script, and then left, giving Zhang Pu time to study the script.

He was also very busy, and it was impossible for him to sit there and wait for Zhang Pu to finish reading the script.

However, after reading the script, Zhang Pu immediately went to his office, and the so-called thing is naturally self-evident.

Naturally, he asked.

"The script is really good, but it's a little petty. Zhang Pu said with a smile.

"Little family?" Jiang Xingwen instantly understood, and said, "At this level, the risk is not ordinarily large, if the scene is expanded and investment is increased, the risk will be difficult to estimate." ”

"Who said that if you invest big, you will be more risky?" Zhang Pu said with a smile.

"As I said before, the biggest risk of this film is not the film itself, but the director. Jiang Xingwen said, "He hasn't made a blockbuster, I'm afraid he won't be able to control it." ”

I was afraid that I couldn't control it to that extent, but if it expanded, the risk would naturally be greater.

"Bring someone over and I'll talk to him. Zhang Pu thought for a while and said.

"Okay!" Jiang Xingwen nodded.

Luo Deng was a little lost at this time, he didn't know if Oriental DreamWorks' "consideration" was a tactful refusal.

If Oriental DreamWorks does not invest in this film, other film and television companies may not.

With an investment of 300 million or 400 million, except for Oriental DreamWorks, I am afraid that no film and television company in China has this courage.

Oriental DreamWorks participates in the investment, even if it is only half of the investment, then he can get investment from other film and television companies.

Jiang Xingwen's phone called, and Luo Deng's anxious mood instantly became stunned.

Zhang Pu wants to talk to him?

Is this a turnaround?

Who Zhang Pu is, I am afraid that there are few people in the global film industry who do not know.

Luo Deng didn't think much about it, and immediately rushed over and saw Zhang Pu.

This legend in the film and television industry looks much younger than him.

It seems to be the case.

At this time, Zhang Pu was only in his early thirties, and he was indeed younger than him.

But people have become famous all over the world, and everyone knows about it. The achievements made at a young age have left countless people in the dust.

Thinking about myself now, it seems that I have lived to be a dog at an old age.

The moment he saw Zhang Pu, Luo Deng felt a little inferiority complex in his heart.

After talking to Zhang Pu, Luo Deng's sense of inferiority dissipated.

It's not that Zhang Pu is not worthy of his name, which makes his self-confidence skyrocket. But Zhang Pu lives up to his name, even more powerful than the rumors.

Isn't this kind of person asking for hardship when compared with him?

If you don't compare with Zhang Pu, you will naturally not feel inferior in front of him.

Then again, in the film and television industry, compared with Zhang Pu, I am afraid that there is no one who is not inferior.

Even those top Hollywood directors are probably a little weaker in terms of achievements.

It's just that what Luo Deng didn't expect was that Zhang Pu was very optimistic about this kind of film, but he was not optimistic about his script.

He felt that his script was petty.

It's pitiful, it's not that I'm a little kid, but I can't let go of my hands and feet at all.

It's even more difficult to get an investment in a film of this scale, how can people let go of their hands?

You think everyone is as rich as you, and you never think about the cost of making movies.

However, when Zhang Pu proposed his own revisions to the script, Luo Deng was inevitably shocked.

is worthy of winning the Oscar for Best Screenplay.

If it is modified as Zhang Pu said, it is indeed much better than his own script.

"Director Zhang, if the script is modified like this, the investment cost will be doubled. Rhoden said.

If you really shoot like that, if you don't have five or six hundred million, you can't shoot it at all.

Moreover, this is still placed in the country.

If it is put in Hollywood, the investment cost may be even more.

That's almost up to the level of a Hollywood blockbuster.

"Disaster movies are also a popular film genre in the world, and if you just focus on China, it won't be interesting. Zhang Pu said with a smile, "You can rest assured that you can change it, and Oriental DreamWorks can still get an investment of hundreds of millions." ”

When Luo Deng heard this, his pupils suddenly dilated.

The implication of this statement is that Oriental DreamWorks has decided to invest.

Of course, the premise is that the script modified by himself satisfies Zhang Pu.

And that's nothing to him.

He may not be as terrifying as Zhang Pu's screenwriter, but he can recreate it according to Zhang Pu's revisions, not to mention that it is still not difficult to catch it.

Zhang Pu's revision just now gave Luo Deng countless inspirations.

He felt that he could write a, no, a disaster film that had never been made before.

Roden walked away excitedly.

Zhang Pu smiled.

He just combined some disaster movies in his mind, especially the "The Day After Tomorrow" to give Roden some revisions.

"How's the conversation?"

Soon after Luo Deng left, after Jiang Xingwen was busy, he casually asked Zhang Pu.

"Very good. Zhang Pu said, "Na Luo Deng is a very thoughtful director. He was just one chance away from proving himself. ”

"Really big?" Jiang Xingwen naturally understood the meaning of Zhang Pu's words.

"If you want to do it, you will naturally do it bigger. Disaster movies are still promising. Zhang Pu nodded and said, "This kind of film should be for the global market. Of course, before he could do it, he had to come up with a script that I was happy with. ”

"Then do it. Jiang Xingwen said, "For this film, you have to be the producer, not the nominal kind, otherwise I won't be at ease." ”

"I'll talk about it when I have time. Zhang Pu said with a smile.

Most of the films he is producing are famous, but he is not without his efforts.

Not to mention anything else, he is still worthy of the producer fee.

"After the script is revised, how much will be invested?" Jiang Xingwen continued.

"Five or six hundred million! This is just a preliminary estimate, and I estimate that Roden will play on himself, maybe more. Zhang Pu thought for a while and said, "However, even if the budget is exceeded, it is estimated that it will not exceed 100 million." ”

"That's a budget of six or seven hundred million!" Jiang Xingwen frowned and said, "I have to talk to Mr. Han." ”

Six or seven hundred million, converted into dollars, that is about 100 million.

Jiang Xingwen felt that the risk was a bit too high, and was ready to pull in Huaying and other companies to jointly invest.

Can you pull it?

It should still be fine.

Many blockbusters of Oriental DreamWorks have Huaying investment, "Jurassic Park", "Transformers", etc., as long as it is related to Zhang Pu, Huaying has almost invested in it.

Even "Resident Evil" has Huaying investment.

The exception is "Kung Fu Panda", an animated film wholly owned by Oriental DreamWorks. The reason why there was no investment is that it is estimated that it was too late for Huaying to get the news.

As long as Jiang Xingwen said that Zhang Pu is optimistic about this film, and even participated in the revision of the script, and will also serve as the producer, it is estimated that it will be very easy to attract some investment.

Of course, pulling Huaying, in addition to sharing risks, also has the meaning of escort.

There are films invested by Huaying, and there will be some convenience in many places.

It's just that what Zhang Pu didn't expect was that there were film and television companies willing to participate in the investment of this film, in addition to Huaying, there are also many film and television companies.

They haven't even read the script yet.
