Chapter 785: A Sci-Fi Masterpiece

The production cost of 350 million is really a lot, and it is definitely a big production in terms of film and television dramas.

The cost of many movies is less than a fraction of the cost of Yanxi Raiders.

After Du Yufeng finished talking about Yanxi Raiders, he said: "Shen Dong, there is another matter here, it is a friend of Wu Jin who wants to invest in us. ”

"Wu Jin's friend?"

Shen Lang really didn't pay much attention to Wu Jin during this time, but the last time he fought the tiger, Wu Jin made a lot of money.

Du Yufeng took out his mobile phone to call Wu Jin, and hung up after telling the situation.

Then Du Yufeng smiled at Shen Lang and said: "Wu Jin will come later, I have seen Wu Jin's friend, a very attentive person." ”

Shen Lang chatted with Du Yufeng for a while, and Du Yufeng said again: "Shen Dong, a movie by the Chinese brothers is about to be released, so I found us, hoping to give us more films." ”

"Chinese brothers?"

Shen Lang remembered that Liu Tao and the Chinese brothers were very incompatible: "What movie?"

"Fanghua, I want to be released in the Chinese New Year, released on 12.15, but I met at the same time as the richest man in tomatoes invested and produced by our company. ”

"Then there's no need to discuss, just be perfunctory first, and then tell all Youmi Studios to keep the proportion of films to the lowest for me. ”

Du Yufeng could only mourn in silence for the Chinese brothers in his heart: "Okay, I will talk to Mr. Lu then." ”

As he spoke, there was a knock on the door.

"Enter. ”

Wu Jin walked in, entered the room and said with a hearty smile: "Shen Dong, Mr. Du." ”

Shen Lang smiled and pointed to the sofa and said, "Sit, I heard Mr. Du say a few words just now, and you can add specific details." ”

Wu Jin smiled and nodded: "This is also an old friend of mine who has known him for many years, to be honest, I am not very optimistic about him, but he is really attentive." ”

Wu Jin said and picked out a script and handed it to Shen Lang to read, Shen Lang took it and looked at it, with four big words in the title: The Wandering Earth.

"Shen Dong, this director is an old friend of mine, it's really not easy, I don't say anything else, but I am ashamed of myself for this persistence and focus. ”

Shen Lang looked up at Wu Jin: "There are indeed very few people who are worthy of your praise. ”

"Alas, it is said that the establishment of the project of the Wandering Earth is also full of disasters and difficulties. ”

Shen Lang looked at Wu Jin with interest: "What do you say?"

"This project is actually the copyright bought by Huaying, but the director has not been decided.

Including foreign international science fiction directors such as Cameron, Alfonso CuarΓ³n, Spielberg, etc.

Luc Besson had frequent contact with China Film Company after the release of "City of a Thousand Planets", but you also know that no one wants to come to China to make science fiction films.

Foreign directors have no dramas, and no one is willing to accept domestic first-line directors.

No one wanted to smash their signboards, so they threw the position of director to my friends. ”

Wu Jin explained the whole process with a smile.

Du Yufeng also said next to him: "And several investors have withdrawn halfway, and the production cost of domestic sci-fi blockbusters is still as high as 50 million US dollars, and few dare to go on it!"

Wu Jin also smiled bitterly: "Just like Mr. Du said, I didn't make some money from Zhan Hu."

My friend is now fooling me into throwing money on the Wandering Earth, and I'm going to go back and talk to my daughter-in-law about it. ”

Shen Lang really admired Wu Jin's fortune, if Wu Jin invested in the wandering earth, he would really make a lot of money.

"How many investors are left?"

Shen Lang looked at Wu Jin and closed the script in his hand, Shen Lang couldn't understand it, why pretend to be that force.

Wu Jin didn't want to reply: "Now only Huaying is left, and even Huaying hesitated for a long time, but he had to hold on." ”

Chinese science fiction movies are notoriously bad, and many big-name Hollywood directors have been scared away, which can be seen.

Not to mention anything else, last year, Huaying invested 20 million in the small-budget sci-fi movie "The Iasso Code".

It was Huaying's small test of science fiction movies, but the word-of-mouth and market failed miserably after the film's release.

However, in the process of operating these projects, practitioners have also gained experience.

Before preparing for filming, Huaying Company stipulated that it should use domestic teams as much as possible.

French director Jean-Jacques Arnaud had to take his core technical team to give the Huaxia team a visual effects course for many days.

Huaying's hand is still very slippery, but 20 million can not feel distressed, and they should accumulate experience for practitioners.

But if it is changed to at least 50 million US dollars, Huaying will not dare to shoot it by itself, and no one can hold this pressure!

Shen Lang looked at Du Yufeng and asked, "Does our company have a technical team in science fiction?"

"Well, this isn't there yet, our company has never developed in the direction of science fiction movies before, but I can go and poach people immediately. ”

Du Yufeng was also full of confidence when he answered.

Vientiane Group poachs people in the film and television industry, and it is not a star, and few can resist the temptation of Vientiane Group.

Shen Lang smiled and said: "That's good, go back and dig people, we can invest in this project, but the production team must also have our members, even if it is the tuition I pay them." ”

Wu Jin was stunned and said, "Shen Dong, what do you mean?"

There was no need for Shen Lang to answer, Du Yufeng next to him had already smiled and said, "Okay, Shen Dong agreed, you tell that friend to rest assured and boldly get the script." ”

Wu Jin didn't expect things to be so simple, and he sighed in his heart.

Wu Jin was just glad that he had joined the Vientiane Group, and when he encountered a suitable script, the Vientiane Group would invest directly.

Unlike this friend who asked Wu Jin this time, in order to shoot his own script smoothly, he went around asking for support funds from the funder.

Wu Jin pulled Guo Fan over in the afternoon, and Wu Jin told him uncomfortably all the way:

"When you meet Shen Dong, you must be polite, Shen Dong is very optimistic about your play, to be honest, if you have the opportunity, I suggest you come to Vientiane Group to develop. ”

"Vientiane Group?"

Guo Fan thought for a while and said, "Forget it, I'll honestly finish filming this movie."

I don't even have a work that I can get my hands on now, and even if I sign a contract with Vientiane Group, I can't get any good treatment. ”

Wu Jin thought that this was also the case, so he didn't persuade him more.

The two met Shen Lang and Du Yufeng, and Guo Fan looked very ordinary with black-framed glasses.

What surprised Shen Lang the most was Guo Fan's focused and persistent gaze.

This was what moved Shen Lang the most, and Shen Lang believed a little bit in Wu Jin's words.

Guo Fan held a thick stack of bound scripts in his hand, and solemnly handed it to Shen Langdao:

"Hello Shen Dong, I'm Guo Fan, this is a script carefully written by me and my team, a total of about one million words, please take a look. ”

"A million words?" Shen Lang's eyes were also a little surprised.

You must know that the original work of The Wandering Earth filmed by Guo Fan is only a few tens of thousands of words.

Guo Fan: They actually wrote a million words for a script, you can imagine how detailed it is.
