Chapter 583: Running into a wall everywhere
One wolf warrior worked well, Wu Jing immediately prepared the second one, in order to make a better movie, he plunged into JD, lived and studied in JD, in order to better interpret his role.
Iron has to be hard, and Wu Jing, who has invested a lot of effort in the second part, has worked himself.
After everything was ready, he began to prepare for the film, and for this reason, he took his company's team to prepare all night and make an investment plan.
Calculate the cost, find the right actors, and then the potential wealthy.
In the end, it is about 1.3 billion.
Then it is to contact the actors, some of them are personally contacted, after all, some actors want to give face, personally ask about the intention, and then the company department will talk about specific cooperation matters.
After making some contact, Wu Jing began to prepare funds.
One point three hundred million, after calculating the intention, he is ready to pay 30 million himself, and then raise 100 million.
First made a round of phone calls within the scope of his own good relationship, including friends who work in a film and television investment company and are responsible for the investment direction, as well as friends in the circle who have money or have companies under their own.
also includes a general manager like Binshu who can make decisions directly, and the first part of the spring breeze was cast, and he and Binshu also established a certain friendship in private, so naturally they can't be left behind.
said that the second part was going to be filmed, and the investment plan was sent to see if there was any intention and how much could be invested.
Everyone was also happy, and basically gave a reply, but Wu Jing was a little depressed, and only 15 million directly agreed, and the others either asked the boss for instructions, or said that they were short of money.
Although he knew that he must not be able to raise enough, but he didn't expect it to be so bad, although Binshu didn't reply, Wu Jing couldn't call and ask all the time, not to mention that he knew that even if he invested, a company couldn't plug all the gaps, after all, the people who invest in movies now are relatively stable, like themselves, directly take out 30 million, that is, their own movies, otherwise it will be difficult to place heavy bets, so the rest will have to rely on themselves.
first asked the company to release news in the circle, which is nothing more than telling insiders that this movie is short of money now, and everyone can come to do it.
But unfortunately, after the news was released, no one took the initiative to care, so in desperation, I had to visit by myself.
So Wu Jing started his own road of fundraising, of course, there are many people who invest in movies across the country, and he can't just go around like asking for food, just choose a boss who has had some contact with him, or ask a friend to contact.
…...
"Xiao Wu, at a cost of more than 100 million, why did you invite these actors?"
Wu Jing looked at Boss Zhang, who was staring at the investment book, and said with a smile: "The production cost is very large, the framing, equipment, and special effects are relatively expensive, and the cost is too high to ask for a film." ”
Boss Zhang said: "These costs are all smashed, are you still missing the salaries of two actors?"
Wu Jing said with a smile: "The key salary is too high, often 8 million and 10 million, I can't afford it." ”
"Then what do you rely on to get the box office?"
"It's the quality of the movie. Wu Jing said.
"Hehe, the quality of the movie? You can't invite people to the cinema, who knows the quality of the movie?" Boss Zhang said: "You have to have box office appeal, there is no traffic star, how can people go to the cinema, then what box office results do you talk about?"
"There is no traffic in the first part, and the box office is more than 500 million. Wu Jing said.
"Yes, but when you score, last year and this year were already very different, and now the trend is obvious! ”
"Lao Cannon is good enough, right? Lao Feng starring, what kind of character is that, but doesn't it also have to be lined with a little fresh meat, no one is lined up, can there be so many box offices?"
"The people who watch movies now are all young people, young people who don't even know Fa Ge, what are they good about? Let me tell you, Fa Ge's appeal is not as good as Xiao Xianrou, this is the reality. ”
Wu Jing said with a smile: "I don't deny that they have a certain influence, but I believe more in the movie itself, with an investment of more than 100 million yuan, I can't do it if I spend 10 million to hire an actor." ”
Boss Zhang smiled and handed the notebook back: "Then I can't vote for you." ”
……
"Xiao Wu, the actor is not hit. ”
"Mr. Sun, the main investment is in the scene and equipment. Wu Jing said patiently.
"That's not good, such a big investment, you can't do it without box office appeal. ”
"Mr. Sun, if you can win 500 million in the first part, this will not be bad. ”
"No one watches movies because of your equipment, you have to have good actors, you look at you, except that you don't say it, there are no fan darlings like Bozi and Baoqiang, and there are no popular traffic niches, how can you attract the box office? Even if you can still get 500 million, how much will you get? two? Invest 1.3, and there are 70 million left...... A movie, invest 130 million yuan in a movie, you can earn 70 million? Can you continue to explore the way, but our investment is boring, this is still a good situation, what if it pounces? Now that the film market is so dense, you don't have a good effect, and you will be taken off the shelves in a few days, and then you will be squeezed out by other rows, and besides, this theme is not popular......
As a filmmaker, being reasoned by the capitalists, Wu Jing could only laugh, then put away the investment book, and then changed it.
……
"This theme is not good, domestic movies still have to be comedy or youth love......"
"The actor is not good, do you think it is okay to change XXX? I think that is good, and the designation has appeal. ”
"Xiao Wu, I know you have confidence, but there are more confident directors, how many make money?"
"What should you do if you get hurt when you shoot like this? In case of an accident, this movie can't be made...... So the investment is not in vain?"
……
After hitting a wall one after another, Wu Jing was quite depressed, everyone was not optimistic about the first part, but the results were good, I thought that the second part would get better, but I didn't expect it to be favored.
……
"Brother Zhou, hahaha, didn't you say last time that you had the opportunity to cooperate, no, I'm here today, take a look?"
Boss Zhou smiled: "Don't watch it, I saw your bidding document, and I also heard about your movie, although I don't know the specific content, but I understand the genre or something, blockbuster ......"
Wu Jing smiled: "What a blockbuster, just an investment of 100 million." ”
"Yes, a hundred million investment, but it's all in the scenery and equipment, it's not a blockbuster? It's Africa again, it's ordnance, it's about to catch up with Hollywood. Boss Zhou said.
Wu Jing put on his trademark bright smile and said, "Don't dare to compare." ”
Boss Zhou smiled: "This blockbuster, I don't dare to vote." ”
"It's not big, I still have 500 million in the first part, how can this 500 million be preserved. Wu Jing said.
"It's not a question of whether you can get back to your roots, the key is that if someone votes for you, others won't be able to join in the fun. Boss Zhou said with a smile.
"How come I don't know?" said Wu Jing in a daze.
Boss Zhou looked at Wu Jing and said with a smile: "No one took the initiative to ask you to vote?"
Wu Jing shook his head: "No." ”
"Hahaha, it seems that your plan is really scary, and you don't even dare to vote for it. Boss Zhou said.
"No, Mr. Zhou, you confused me. Wu Jing smiled.
"Chunfeng didn't look for you, did you vote?" asked Boss Zhou.
"I got in touch, but I didn't reply. Wu Jing said.
"Hahahaha, if they don't dare to vote, who else do you say dare to vote?" asked Boss Zhou.
Wu Jing said: "The spring breeze is powerful, but it doesn't mean that they won't make money if they don't invest, right? Could it be that they all voted for this money?"
Boss Zhou said: "You, let's go back and inquire, ask why no one voted." ”
Wu Jing said: "I don't think that actors who have box office appeal are not the subject matter that the audience likes, but I don't think so, Mr. Zhou, my first part has a box office, no matter how bad it is, it is not a problem for me to keep my capital, I still have the confidence to make money." ”
Boss Zhou smiled: "Yes, I just cast movies, of course I know, but this is only one of them, one is that you have invested a lot in this movie, but there is no actor with strong appeal, the second is that your theme is too cold, and third, you are a 'blockbuster'!"
"Is the blockbuster still guilty?" Wu Jing asked.
"The blockbuster is not guilty, but the spring breeze is guilty. Boss Zhou said.
"What does my movie have to do with the spring breeze?" Wu Jing became more and more confused.
"Hehe, okay, let me tell you, a few months ago, an Internet forum was opened in Wuzhen, and the participants were all bosses, all of whom were related to the Internet, and there were also many filmmakers. ”
"You don't know, it was really majestic at the time, and he denied everyone in one sentence, and asserted that domestic production will soon come out with blockbusters, don't say it, he was really right, no, is this what you did, I heard, your warship is going to be used, right?"
Wu Jing nodded with a smile and said, "It's quite a coincidence." ”
"yes, you're going to shoot it as soon as he finishes speaking, it's a coincidence. Boss Zhou said.
"I planned this a long time ago, but I told Mr. Bin before, oh, the general manager of Chunfeng Media. Wu Jing said.
"No wonder, no wonder that guy concluded that there will be soon, no, since he knows that you are going to shoot, then why not invest now? It can't be that he was scared by your plan, right?" Boss Zhou was suddenly puzzled.
Yu Yue asserted that there would be, if he was referring to Wu Jing's second part, then he shouldn't stand up and vote at this moment.
Since that's what he said, and he asserted that no one voted for him, why didn't he move when he came out?
After thinking about it, Boss Zhou felt that he could only be frightened.
