Hong Chen's total assets are almost 1 billion.

The maximum amount of liquidity available is only 200 million.

This investment move, I have to say, was risky.

Guo Fan was stunned, because Hong Chen's handwriting was so big that he was overjoyed.

is regarded as the original budget of the movie, and Wu Zhan invested another 60 million, and the special effects money for this drama is completely enough.

In Hong Chen's eyes, money is very important, but it is even more important to spend money in key places.

Huaxia needs such a hard sci-fi special effects film, and Huaxia needs to shoot something with a sense of science and technology.

Because, now people in the world know about Huaxia kung fu movies and Jackchen whenever they mention Huaxia, but they don't know that Huaxia's special effects and technology are also very developed.

In many Western countries, the impression of China is still stuck in the old era.

Hong Chen hopes to let the world see the special effects power of Huaxia and the scientific and technological power of Huaxia.

This is far from what those online dramas achieve with a special performance of 5 cents.

Then, Hong Chen contacted Ge Chen, and Ge Chen contacted the finance department and the investment department.

An investment evaluator in the investment department said:

"President Ge, do you really want to vote? This drama is very risky, although Mr. Hong is the starring actor of this drama, but the market for movies like hard science fiction and special effects is very small, at most only science fiction fans love to watch, and they can't get back at all. ”

This person is concerned about the profitability of the company, which is also the responsibility of investment evaluation.

Ge Chen glanced at him and said indifferently: "The boss said to vote, just vote, you have to believe in the boss's vision, he never missed it." ”

"In the future, it is not allowed to question the boss's decision. ”

"Yes, President. The evaluator nodded and said.

In fact, he was more or less unconvinced. He is a professional evaluator who analyzes the market and prospects of a film.

Special effects films? science fiction films?

Is there a movie like this in Huaxia?

Does anyone watch a movie like this?

But he didn't show it on his face, but he silently thought in his heart: "It's not my money, it's my business, I love to listen to it or not." ”

As for Ge Chen's belief in Hong Chen's vision, he was even more skeptical. He believes that Hong Chen is indeed impeccable in terms of acting skills and character, but the vision of this investment may not be comparable to himself.

So, next, Ge Chen and Guo Fan docked, signed an investment contract, and directly invested 100 million yuan into "The Wandering Earth".

This is not a big deal.

But Ge Chen knew that this investment would definitely not be lost.

To take the simplest example, the investment department may have made a lot of money by evaluating and investing in films, but the most profitable films of the company are all investment projects finalized by Hong Chen.

For example, in "Wolf Warrior 2" last year, when Wu Zhanla invested, after reading the script, Hong Chen directly invested 100 million yuan.

Wu Zhan was stunned.

The budget for this drama is 150 million, of which 80 million is Wu Zhan's personal assets. He mortgaged all the villas in order to raise money.

At that time, there was another touching thing, that is, his wife Xie Nan said to him: "If your dream is not idle, even if we live in a good house, we will regret it for the rest of our lives, and the movie will compensate me for supporting you." ”

As a result, Hong Chen directly invested 100 million .......

Wu Zhan didn't want so much, as long as he had 50 million, he didn't want his brother to take such a big risk.

As a result, the final box office of the movie, 5.683 billion, broke the record of Chinese films, and it is still the first.

5.68 billion, about 2.2 billion profits from going out to theaters and publicity and distribution costs, and Hong Chen shared 600 million from it.

This is definitely one of the most lucrative investments in the history of film investment.

Such a large investment has increased by nearly 10 times!

Therefore, this year's work in all aspects of the studio is so confident.

Now, Hong Chen wants to invest 100 million in "The Wandering Earth", and naturally Ge Chen fully supports it.

The post-production thing is wrapped up in Guo Fan's body, and Wu Zhan and Hong Chen are finished.

Hong Chen later learned that during the post-production, Guo Fan basically stayed up late every day, so he bought a spring bed in the production room, and when he was tired, he would lie on it for a while, often sleeping only two hours a night.

Guo Fan worked hard.

On the one hand, it's because he really wants to make this movie well.

On the other hand, he was under a lot of pressure. Because he is burdened with a debt of about 200 million yuan, he needs this movie to pay it off.

Ordinary people can lose their desire to live if they have a debt of 5 million, and now Guo Fan is in debt of 200 million, so you can imagine how much pressure there is.

However, Guo Fan also told Hong Chen and Wu Zhan that this movie will not be released during the Spring Festival this year.

Special effects rendering is very time-consuming, a film takes 24 frames per second, and one frame takes half an hour, and he found several companies to render at the same time.

It is roughly estimated that the Spring Festival stalls will be released next year.

In this regard, both Hong Chen and Wu Zhan expressed their support.

There are many good things, and good special effects movies are even more so.

Like other so-called special effects blockbusters in China, it only takes three or four months from shooting to completion, so it's impossible to think about it.

Special effects are very money-burning and time-consuming.

It is impossible for Chinese investors, who are in a hurry to achieve success, to wait so long.

Therefore, this kind of film needs people like Guo Fan, Wu Zhan, and Hong Chen.

A few days later, Hong Chen returned to Kyoto, and Ge Chen told him that the audition for the Hollywood side was set, on December 27, almost 10 days later.

Hong Chen also attaches great importance to this matter.

After all, it was a springboard for him to go out into the world.

After returning to Kyoto, life was very comfortable.

On this day, Wu Zhan asked him to go to the outskirts of Kyoto City to play, and Hong Chen happily went.

The so-called suburbs of Kyoto City are actually the Grandmaster's Horse Farm. Although winter has begun, it is not cold, and the weather is very clear.

Uncle Yu has grown up rich from childhood to adulthood, and has liked to eat, drink and have fun all his life, and he is still the vice president of the Kyoto Rock Association at such an age.

is now talking about cross talk in Deyun Club, and his status is second only to the head of the club.

Wu Zhan and Uncle Yu have known each other, and a video of them drinking together has also been circulated before.

At that time, Uncle Yu was smoking a cigarette, and he was criticized by netizens for this matter.

The keyboard warrior said that smoking in public places, Uncle Yu really has no quality.

In this regard, Uncle Yu pointed to the vast horse farm behind him, and also responded calmly: "Smoking in public places is not quality." But you see, this is our home. My family is bigger. ”

This response, which is both domineering and funny, also made netizens praise it.

"Uncle, this horse looks good. After Wu Zhan and Hong Chen arrived at the racecourse, they saw Yu Qian and said with a smile.

Uncle Yu waved his hand, he is like this, he may not react if you praise him, but if you praise his horse, then you are friends.

"Uncle Yu, I'm Hong Chen, hello. Hong Chen politely said hello to Yu Qian.

"Haha, the actor is here, welcome. Uncle Yu was very hospitable, and immediately said with a smile.

Hong Chen felt that he was very kind, and he also laughed, and then, Hong Chen picked up a bag of gifts from his hand.

The first time I came to my uncle's place, I couldn't come empty-handed.

And these things were drawn by him from the lottery in the system.

"I'm not short of wine. Yu Qian looked at the gift and immediately said curiously.

"Master Qian'er, you first ask what kind of wine it is, I drank this kid's wine once, and it is definitely the best. Wu Zhan also smiled.

Hearing this, Yu Qian curiously opened the wine jar and sniffed it. He doesn't know how much he has drunk since he was a child, and he can be said to be an expert in wine recognition.

At first, Yu Qian didn't pay much attention to it, but after smelling the wine, a look of surprise gradually appeared on his face.

"This wine is kind of interesting. ”
