131: Effort and demand
As a person in the circle, Chen Yuqi has little hope for science fiction films.
This is the norm in China, and no one will expect much from science fiction films.
Because this is the era when traffic is king, the film will not have too much money invested in post-production, but most of the money will be given to the actors.
"What? You're not happy?"
Seeing Chen Yuqi's reaction, Lu Feng was a little unhappy.
"No, no, when are you going to meet the director?"
Sensing Lu Feng's displeasure, the words he wanted to say were held in his mouth, and Chen Yuqi asked.
"Evening. ”
....
At seven o'clock in the evening, at the Magic City Hotel, Lu Feng pushed open the door of the box.
In addition to Director Guo, he also unexpectedly saw another familiar figure.
"Mr. Lu.."
Seeing Lu Feng's arrival, Director Guo got up to greet him, then looked at Chen Yuqi behind him, and said with a smile:
"This is Miss Chen, at first glance, she is a very talented actor who is destined to become popular. ”
This is a polite remark, Chen Yuqi naturally understood, and laughed:
"Hello Director Guo. ”
"Mr. Lu, hello.."
When Director Guo stood up, Wu Jing also stood up and said hello.
"Hello, my blood is boiling when I watch your movie. ”
After shaking hands with the two, Lu Feng smiled:
"I'm sorry I didn't go to the cinema to support your box office. ”
"Wait for your 3 to come out, I promise, charter a place to see. ”
"When is your 3 coming out?"
"Mr. Lu is polite, 3 is still planning, if Mr. Lu is interested, he can invest. ”
In the face of such a big boss, Wu Jing of course has to pull up his own movie.
Although today the other party came for Director Guo's movie next to him.
Hearing Wu Jing's words, Chen Yuqi's eyes lit up, if she could be on the road in the 3 movie, it would definitely be of great help to her star journey.
I just don't know if the men around me are willing to help me.
"Director Wu, today is to attract investment in my movie, but you have pulled yourself first. ”
Director Guo next to him interjected.
"Haha, it's me who overstepped. ”
Wu Jing laughed and stopped mentioning this matter.
"Alright, let's get down to business. ”
After sitting down and greeting for a while, Lu Feng said:
"A science fiction movie like yours is bound to spend a lot of money on post-production. ”
"And Yida's divestment is also a problem. ”
Speaking of this, Lu Feng set his eyes on Wu Jing next to Director Guo and continued:
"I said on the phone that Director Wu wants to invest 60 million yuan to go in, and he wants to appear for free?"
"Yes, I see the prospect of this film, maybe it can set a precedent. ”
Wu Jing said with a smile.
He is very discerning.
"With your words, I'm sure of my odds. ”
Lu Feng said.
"The odds?"
Hearing this word, several people were a little puzzled.
Lu Feng didn't explain too much and said:
"With Director Wu's investment, then I will not be a charcoal in the snow this time, but it will be a bit icing on the cake. ”
Mr. Lu smiled. ”
Director Guo shook his head:
"Science fiction movies are originally very money-burning movies, and the special effects scenes and props in them are quite expensive, and it is already the biggest test for me to complete such a movie with a budget of 300 million. ”
"If there is more investment from Mr. Lu, the post-production can be more sophisticated. ”
At this time, Lu Feng reacted, as if the film had already been filmed.
What are you doing here, but listen to the other party, it's still in post-production, and I still have a chance to help.
Domestic audiences like to watch special effects, so spend money to let them do their best.
I believe that even if it is really not good, it should be able to have a good box office with special effects.
"Looks like I'm late. ”
Lu Feng smiled helplessly:
"I still want Director Guo to arrange a role for Yuqi, it seems that there is no chance. ”
"Haha, there will be a chance to cooperate next time, Mr. Lu. ”
Director Guo said heartily:
"An actor like Miss Chen will definitely be a pleasure to work with. ”
"Director, you're joking, if you have a chance to cooperate, I still have to ask you for advice. ”
Chen Yuqi said politely.
"Now that the film has been filmed, how much budget do you have for post-production?"
Lu Feng asked.
"There is only a budget of 30 million. ”
Guo Dao responded.
"Then I'll add 70 million, make up a whole number, and I hope you will put the special effects of this movie, not to say the world's top, at least to have a first-class level. ”
"It's a big hit at the box office, and if you have the opportunity in the future, you can work together. ”
Lu Feng meant something.
If the box office is a big hit, surpassing Xing Ye's movie, then he will have to be a director himself.
"Really?"
Hearing Lu Feng's words, Director Guo was overjoyed.
With an increase of 70 million in budget, he is confident that he will not be world-class, but at the top level.
In fact, the domestic special effects team is no worse than the foreign ones, but no one focuses their money on investing here, but invites obvious traffic.
That's why there are jokes with five-cent special effects.
This time, Director Guo wants to let the Chinese people take a good look at it, and the special effects of his country are not inferior to others.
After discussing some details and finalizing the matter, everyone happily asked the waiter to serve the food.
Full of wine and food, Lu Feng took Chen Yuqi and left.
It's already past 10 o'clock in the evening, although there are many young people in such a city.
But compared to daytime, there are not many pedestrians on the road.
On a road with less traffic, a slightly hidden place, a black BMW was parked there.
It is shaking rhythmically, and experienced people can see at a glance what is going on inside the car.
It is also possible to estimate the frequency inside based on the frequency of the vibration.
Pretty fast!
Tens of minutes later, the body stopped and returned to normal.
The car window was open, and Lu Feng was sweating profusely, and it was obvious how tired it was to sweat like this in such a near-zero degree weather.
The co-pilot seat has been placed, and Chen Yuqi is lying on it with a red face.
Disheveled, black hair sticking to his face with sweat, he couldn't see his expression clearly, and he could only hear intermittent humming.
"It seems a little bigger. ”
Lu Feng said with a smile, his hand was measuring.
"Because of Mr. Lu's credit. ”
After a short rest, Chen Yuqi picked up the seat and responded.
By the way, pick up a tissue and clean yourself.
"Seeing how hard you worked just now, is there anything you want to say?"
Lu Feng said casually.
He wouldn't believe that the other party dragged him into the wild because he was looking for excitement.
"Mr. Lu, how can you think of me so much, you just miss you. ”
Tidy up your clothes, Chen Yuqi said.
"I don't like to go around the bend. ”
Lu Feng shook his head.
"I want to participate in Director Wu's films. ”
Bunching up her hair, Chen Yuqi said:
"I hope that Mr. Lu will arrange a role for me at that time. ”
