Chapter 150: Chen Xing pounced twice
This year's summer file is far less exciting than last year.
Whether it is "Di Ying" giving it a go, or the steady work of "Starry Sky", or the comedy movie of "Dream Flying" Chen Xing.
There didn't seem to be much of a surprise.
is a little-known independent film company, which has made many audiences shine with a low-budget "youth love" movie.
But it's just a flash in the eye, and although the box office return is very high, it doesn't make much money.
On the contrary, Ye Zhengwu's desperate big investment was under strong publicity and hype.
Although the reputation is mediocre, it has made a lot of money.
And Chen Xing's goods once again went to the road of hitting the street.
Fortunately, I barely made a few million this time, but compared to the investment of 15 million, this rate of return is nothing.
It's no joke to make less and lose less.
A crew, dozens of people, worked hard, and finally earned millions.
In the freak company of "Dream Flying", Chen Xing felt that he couldn't raise his head.
The company has a total of three directors.
Wan Xiaofeng won't say it, Chen Wuer's literary film last year not only made a lot of money, but also won numerous awards for the company.
And what about yourself?
He is the first director of "Dream Flying" to lose money, and he hit the street once last year.
Now again, he himself feels that he has no face to stay in the company!
So he took a few days, wrote a letter of resignation, and walked into Wan Xiaofeng's office.
"Mr. Wan!"
Wan Xiaofeng, who was flipping through the information, glanced up at him, saw that he was holding an envelope in his hand, and frowned.
"Something?"
Chen Xing handed the envelope to the desk, and said in a lonely tone:
"This is my letter of resignation!"
Wan Xiaofeng put down the information in his hand, picked up the envelope, and glanced at Chen Xing suspiciously.
"What's the matter? What are you dissatisfied with the company?"
"No, no!"
Chen Xing hurriedly waved his hand to deny it.
To tell the truth, although Wan Xiaofeng is a little picky, "Dream Flying" is still very good for the salary and benefits of employees.
It's even better than some of the leading film companies.
And he, a student who has just left school, has dominated two movies in succession in "Dream Flying".
This situation, among my classmates, is already the best.
Therefore, it is not an exaggeration to say that "Dream Flying" has the grace of knowing him, how can he be dissatisfied with "Dream Flying"?
"I feel that my ability is too poor, I have failed the company, I hit the street twice in a row, and I have no face to stay in the dream of flying!"
"Hey, I thought why?"
Wan Xiaofeng threw his resignation letter aside, took it out of his pocket to order one, and stared at Chen Xing intently.
"Isn't it just a movie, what's this? The previous movies between me and Chen Wuer were worse than yours, so miserable that they went bankrupt, confused and light!"
Wan Xiaofeng's tone was very flat, but to Chen Xing's ears, it was incredible!
"Bankrupt?"
How far does this have to go?
Chen Wuer, a lover of literature and art, forget it, it is common for literary films to lose money.
Like "Dear", Chen Xing has not seen the second part so far.
But Wan Xiaofeng is now the first director in China.
The creator of two phenomenal movies, he could never have imagined that such a character could actually make a movie and go bankrupt.
Wan Xiaofeng saw that he was a little unconvinced, spit out a wisp of cigarette, and laughed:
"Don't believe it, "The Wandering Planet", you go and see it, it was the first movie in my life. ”
Then he thought of something and continued:
"If you can't find the source of the film on the Internet, tell me, I have it here!"
Chen Xing looked at his sworn appearance, and only then began to believe it a little, and became interested in this "Wandering Planet".
"Forget about resignation, I don't care about one or two movies, what do you care?
Tell you Chen Xing, I have much more expectations for you than Chen Wuer's unreliable goods!"
"Really?"
Chen Xing was obviously a little excited.
Chen Wu'er is an old man who has been with Wan Xiaofeng all the way, and he has contributed to "Dream Flying".
But Wan Xiaofeng actually said that he expected more from himself than Chen Wuer......
It can't be a comforting word, right?
Chen Xing began to suffer from gains and losses.
Wan Xiaofeng nodded with a smile and pushed the resignation letter in front of Chen Xing.
"Take him and leave, don't think too much, you have a lot of use for the future of Dream Flying!"
......
When Chen Xing was in addition to the office, Wan Xiaofeng extinguished the cigarette butt and smiled unconsciously.
He didn't lie to Chen Xing, and his expectations for Chen Xing were indeed high.
Compared with the unreliable Chen Wuer, Chen Xing may be the one who can make a lot of money for Dream Feixiang.
From the time he watched Chen Xing's new movie at the premiere, he was very fortunate about this idea.
A director wants to have a high box office, and the audience of style is very important.
Not everyone wants Wan Xiaofeng's comparison, and there are countless complete movies in their minds.
Like Chen Wuer's, slow and realistic, cloudy style, it is really difficult to achieve success at the box office.
And Chen Xing is different, in his new movie, Wan Xiaofeng sees a lot of interesting things.
Nonsensical humor, compact and bright plot.
Looking at Wu Neng under his lens, serious and funny, Wan Xiaofeng thought of another world, and when it comes to comedy movies, he has to mention the bald director.
So he had a bold idea?
Tie Chen Xing and Wu Neng together, and first practice in "People in Embarrassment", what if it can be done?
Isn't it a big deal?
Therefore, Wan Xiaofeng has recently added a new task.
Meditate and write a script!
The release date of "Crouching Tiger, Hidden Dragon", Wan Xiaofeng plans to put it in the spring of next year.
Mainly for the North American market.
And the current inventory of "Dream Flying", in addition to Chen Wuer, who is grinding and chirping, there is a film that will be released on New Year's Day.
There are only a few other films that participate in foreign investment.
The Spring Festival stall is a schedule that must be fought for, and it is impossible to let go of "Dream Flying".
So he had to come up with the script, let Chen Xing and Wu Neng work harder, and prepare to test the water on the Spring Festival stalls.
The plot line of "People in Embarrassment" is not complicated, the key lies in the use of some jokes.
Chen Xing, who is keen on comedy movies, has no problem with this.
So Wan Xiaofeng's script quickly rushed out.
The original investment of only 4 million was also increased to 6 million by Wan Xiaofeng.
After all, this is 2012 in China, not 2010 in Bluestar.
When Chen Xing received Wan Xiaofeng's script, his eyes were rolling!
"Small investment, speed up the progress, I am ready to release it during the Spring Festival. ”
"Wan ...... Mr. Wan ......!"
Wan Xiaofeng looked like he wanted to cry and gave him a big kick.
"Get out of here, don't ask for friendship in front of me!"
Chen Xing reluctantly left the office, and glanced back at Wan Xiaofeng with angry eyes from time to time.
Make up your mind, if you don't succeed this time, you will be benevolent!
