"Brother Wang, what do you Huayi want to cooperate with your junior brother?" Wu Xiang naturally asked this question, to be honest, he was somewhat interested.

"Well, hey, hey, the benefits are great. In this way, I'll find someone to talk to you, hey, hey, don't worry, brother, he's here too. ”

Wu Xiang didn't expect that Wang Zhonglei would say so vaguely, this is not right, since it is his intention to cooperate, why should he be so secretive?

But soon, Wu Xiang understood that this was probably not a matter of concealment, because the person recruited by Wang Zhonglei was none other than Feng Xiaogang!

Director Feng! That's a famous little steel cannon!

To tell the truth, before Wu Xiang was reborn, he had always had a good impression of this director who dared to say and do, and had a bit of a hooligan temperament, of course, Wu Xiang couldn't contact people at that time, and after this rebirth, he was too busy, and there were so many opportunities to contact Director Feng, but Wu Xiang missed it again, this time, he was really close to others.

"Hello Director Feng!" Wu Xiang took the initiative to shake hands with Feng Xiaogang.

"Ah, hello Director Wu!" Feng Xiaogang also reached out and shook it, but it seemed that he didn't reflect it, Wu Xiang's actions seemed to be a little enthusiastic.

"Oh, don't be so foreign, you two are all buddies, Xiao Wu is a little younger, Lao Feng, you talk to him well, I'll go over there and talk to the third master, ah, hahaha...... "Wang Zhonglei seems to be a middleman, so this matter, has nothing to do with Hua Yi?"

"Brother Feng is good!" Wu Xiang doesn't care so much now, let's get closer to Feng Xiaogang first.

"Hey, brother, let's do this......" Feng Xiaogang was a little embarrassed. But even so, this matter has to be said head-on.

Soon Wu Xiang understood, that is, there is a movie, and now Huayi has invested money, and there is something wrong, this movie is the intention of cooperation, I hope Wu Xiang can vote for it, but what kind of movie is this movie?

"There are no thieves in the world"!

That's right! It's this "No Thieves in the World", which can be said to be a very classic, absolutely right. That's not wrong at all, Wu Xiang didn't hear it wrong. It's just that when Wu Xiang heard this name, he really didn't believe it, Huayi would pull himself into this film? !

Honestly, if it were on someone else. That's definitely a pie-in-the-sky thing, but don't forget that Wu Xiang is a reborn. When he heard about it. It's unbelievable!

As a reborn, Wu Xiang knows very well that this "No Thieves in the World" was released in the 04 Chinese New Year, and it was with this movie that Director Feng entered the 100 million yuan club, which means that this movie has achieved a very good box office. Break 100 million!

Such a movie, with a company like Huayi, now the number one large company in China, he doesn't eat alone. And take it out to find investment, is this thing in the past?

Yes, Wu Xiang felt that what fell from this Tianshan was probably not a big pie, maybe it was a piece of.

But now there is a question lingering in Wu Xiang's heart, that is, this movie should have been shot in 04, but now it's only 02, isn't it strange?

If it is said that because of his appearance, the filming time of this movie was affected, but this theory is not possible, Wu Xiang has not interfered with Huayi, he has no contact with others.

So, Wu Xiang said: "Brother Feng, this book is good, I heard about it before, for Teacher Zhao, I want to see but can't see it, I just want to ask, when did you find Teacher Zhao?"

Wu Xiang remembers very well that this movie is adapted from the famous writer Zhao Benfu's work of the same name, people have nothing to do with Zhao Bensan, their hometowns are far away, Wu Xiang asked, nothing more than to introduce the topic to time.

Feng Xiaogang came to look for investment this time, and he had completely lowered his face at this time, so he really didn't have anything to say, so he dragged it out.

"This book, I bought it from Emei Factory last year, and I saw that this story was very good, and then I started to prepare, and I have been preparing until now, this is about to start filming, and the budget is a little tight. ”

It turned out that I bought it last year.

But after knowing this answer, Wu Xiang was even more entangled in his heart, because he was a reborn person, and he knew when "No Thief" was filmed in the original history, and this book was obtained by Feng Xiaogang in 01, Wu Xiang can swear that he had absolutely no influence on Feng Xiaogang at that time, that is to say, now there is history about Feng Xiaogang and Huayi, all of which are developed according to the original history, Wu Xiang has not played any role, and it has nothing to do with him.

That is to say, this script has been waiting for several years to become a movie, so what has happened in the past few years, is it just a little problem with the funds as Feng Xiaogang said?

This question is directly related to this matter at this time, whether it is pie or. Wu Xiang began to quickly recall Hua Yi's actions in the past few years in his mind, and he hoped to find some clues from the films they produced.

The first is "Big Shot", this is indeed a very classic movie, Wu Xiang also admitted, but the problem is that this movie just didn't make any money, and it lost money, because Huayi's investment is very large, the investment in making a film is 30 million, and the publicity and distribution is 10 million, and the 40 million is thrown away, and the result is only more than 43 million box office.

This box office, to be honest, is very good, at the beginning, Hua Yi didn't figure out how to make money back in China, because this investment is very revealing, it's a bit big, and it is difficult to recover the cost of the domestic shape. Then there is a good channel, which is the overseas market.

Huayi originally cooperated with a Colombian company, which set up a branch in Asia, which is facing Asia, to put it bluntly, like Mira's Hong Kong company, it is mainly oriented to our country.

But as a result, this overseas release was also a failure, and the U.S. box office of "Big Names" was only $820!

Fiasco, what a fiasco!

But. With such a fiasco, can Hua Yi not be able to shoot "No Thieves"?

No, Wu Xiang is very sure, because he immediately thought of a person, as well as a movie.

This person is called He Ping, and this movie is called "Heroes of Heaven and Earth"!

Why does it have anything to do with this movie?

Originally, Wu Xiang also thought that they had nothing to do with each other, but now the situation is that you don't associate them. That's a fool!

This matter is quite interesting, it is a secret, and Wu Xiang only learned about it by chance.

To say that the film "Heroes of Heaven and Earth" was released in 03, but the investment in this film was filmed. That was decided in '01.

At the beginning, this film shouted a lot, that is, the investment was big. It is said that the investment is more than 60 million RMB. This is what Director Feng said, his original words are that "Heroes of Heaven and Earth" and "Mobile Phone" have a total investment of 10 million US dollars, and on other occasions, Director Feng said that the investment in mobile phones is 15 million RMB. Here's the conversion. It is very clear that the investment in "Heroes of Heaven and Earth" has been made.

But this is not right, knowing the amount of investment in "Heroes of Heaven and Earth", what does this have to do with "No Thieves"? Is it because Hua Yi has no money to shoot "No Thieves" because he voted in "Heroes of Heaven and Earth"?

Not really. It's very interesting.

That's because those two movies have a lot to do with Columbia, and they must have invested money, plus Taihe, a foreign capital, so they can say that they are dollars.

And there is another very interesting place, that is, the box office of "Heroes of Heaven and Earth" was more than 58 million that year, and it stands to reason that Huayi does not make money at this domestic box office. However, after this box office came out, Wang Zhonglei once held a celebration banquet, saying that it was this movie, Huayi's investment, and he earned 100%!

This is not scientific! You only have a box office of 58 million, even if you give it all to you, you can't get back your investment, but how can you make money by yourself? Is it a swollen face and a fat man?!

It's really not, this is the secret that Wu Xiang heard.

What's the secret of this, in fact, the investment of Huayi in the drama "Heroes of Heaven and Earth" is only 15% of the total investment, but the domestic box office of this movie is all owned by Huayi!

Isn't that right! Isn't it stupid to do this? Aren't all crooked nuts so stupid?

If you want to say, they are really not stupid, they are just fooled into being stupid, who is it?

This has to be done slowly.

Judging from the available information, the overseas box office of "Heroes of Heaven and Earth" is all owned by Columbia, and the overseas box office of "Big Names" should also be owned by Columbia, and even the domestic box office of "Big Names", Columbia companies will definitely account for a part!

In other words, the investment of Columbia companies is very huge, and they take a really big share. Naturally, it wants to account for more box office shares, and no one is stupid. However, we must know that domestic films have not been very good in foreign countries, who would suddenly believe that these films can achieve a high box office abroad?

But the current situation is that the Columbia company just believes it, they just believe that Huayi's films can succeed in the overseas market and make a lot of money, anyway, when the contract was signed, it was definitely like this.

And this is all thanks to one person, and that person is He Ping!

mentioned He Ping, I think that "Swordsman in Shuangqi Town" became famous back then, and "Heroes of Heaven and Earth" is another masterpiece of Teacher He Ping ten years later, anyway, the advertisement is written like this.

But in Wu Xiang's eyes, it's not like this at all!

It's very simple, the director of the movie "Heroes of Heaven and Earth" is not He Ping at all, He Ping, this guy, is actually just a flicker in the operation of these series of movies, he is a big flicker!

There is a basis for saying this, what is He Ping's identity now? He is now a senior executive of Columbia in Asia, but a series of decisions made by his senior management are all in favor of Huayi.

But what about in the movies?

I'm sorry, what you Teacher He Ping said doesn't count, what he said is someone else, that person is the starring role of "Heroes of Heaven and Earth", Jiang Wen!

And what Wu Xiang thinks about now is that I am afraid that it is precisely because of director Coco Jiang that this "No Thieves in the World" will not be filmed...... (To be continued......)
