Chapter 343: "People in Embarrassment" and Wen Jun
It didn't take long for them to arrive at the cinema where the premiere was held, an older cinema in the Fifth Ring Road.
Did Berner think that picking such a dilapidated place would frighten the audience even more?
The scale of the premiere is pitiful, and the reporter is just three or two kittens, but there are still a lot of fans at the scene, and they seem to be good Cai Jun's book fans.
It is impossible for Yu Dong to come to the premiere of this kind of film in person, but the presence of Zheng Ye, the production director of Bernard, can be regarded as giving Wen Jun enough face.
Seeing what the two of them were chatting about, Li Manyuan and Liu Dong also greeted them.
"Mr. Zheng, Mr. Wen, hello!"
"Manyuan, Liu Dong, you're here!" Zheng Ye smiled at them and introduced the two to Wen Jun.
"Hello!" Wen Jun held out his hand to the two.
"Then you talk slowly, I'll go and greet the guests!" Zheng Ye said and walked inside.
Wen Jun opened his mouth but still didn't say anything.
Seeing his expression, Li Manyuan asked out loud, "Mr. Wen, is there something wrong with this?"
Although Liu Dong will not go to Xiangjiang to develop in the future, and it is even more impossible for him to get involved in the Academy Awards actor with his acting career, Li Manyuan still has to have a good relationship with this old man who has deep qualifications in the Xiangjiang film industry.
After all, the other party has almost befriended most of the directors and producers in the entire Xiangjiang region, and most of the big productions in the mainland are now in the hands of those Xiangjiang directors.
"Originally, there was a project that I wanted to work with Berner, but Mr. Zheng may not be optimistic about this type of film!" Wen Jun sighed.
"Oh, what kind of project is it?" can Wen always talk about?" asked Li Manyuan casually.
"There's nothing I can't say, I took a train in the mainland during the Spring Festival at the beginning of this year, and I had some feelings, so I wrote a book!"
"Tentatively named "People in Embarrassment", it can be regarded as a comedy!"
What the?
Liu Dong, who was chatting with Zhang Meng on the side, turned his head suddenly.
He was sure that he had heard it right, the project Wen Jun said about taking the train during the Spring Festival was "People in Embarrassment"!
Isn't that a movie released in the first half of 10 years, and there is still more than a year and a half to go.
By the way, he came to Berner to invest, but Zheng Ye was obviously not optimistic about the project, so it was temporarily stranded.
Although the cost is not large, it is only six or seven million, but Berner is not the God of Wealth, and he will invest in any film.
Wu Jing's own "Wolf Teeth" still paid for the investment by himself, and Berner was willing to release it.
"Mr. Wen, your investment in this small-budget comedy should not be large, right, have you never thought about investing yourself?" Liu Dong interjected.
Wen Jun turned his head to look at Liu Dong, and said with some bitterness, "I can only come up with 2 million funds, and there is a gap of about 5 million." ”
5 million.
Liu Dong calculated his funds in his heart, 5 blockbusters and one TV series, except for "Big Soldier", which only paid 500,000 yuan in advance, almost 9 million after tax deduction was received. This is also the reason why he registered a shell studio in Khorgos, and the tax deduction of the remuneration received later was better.
However, Liu Dong took the 9 million to buy a house, and directly asked Li Manyu to buy it.
All of them are Poly's real estate, most of which are concentrated in the Third Ring Road, with an average price of about 15,000.
There are a total of 8 sets, all of which are small three-bedroom rooms of about 90 square meters.
But now that I think about it, even in 17 years, the house in the 3rd ring will be about 70,000, which is less than 5 times, and it is far less cost-effective than investing in a few movies with box office hits and super high returns.
And for himself, dozens of houses are far less important than investing in movies, not only for monetary gains, but also for getting to know the top executives of major companies, various big directors and big stars.
Liu Dong had an idea in his heart, and planned to discuss with Li Manyu when he went back, mortgage the house, and see if he could participate in a share.
However, film investment is far from being as simple as imagined, it is not just about making money, you have to be fully prepared.
With the decision in place, Liu Dong began to inquire about the specifics of the project, consciously or unconsciously.
"Mr. Wen, is this project approved now?"
"The materials have been prepared, and when the rest of the investment arrives, I immediately apply for a shooting license from Optoelectronics. Then prepare the crew and recruit actors. ”
Wen Jun is an old filmmaker after all, and the rejection of the investment did not affect him for long, and he immediately regained his smile.
"Then Wen is always going to direct it himself this time, after all, this is a script written by yourself. ”
"I'm old, I don't have that energy!" Wen Jun said.
"I contacted Ye Weiming, he also made comedies such as "Jewels" and "Changing Stars" in his early years, and he came to the mainland earlier, so the style should be more suitable!"
What the heck?
The director of "People in Embarrassment" is Ye Weiming?
filmed such a big dark horse, how could I never hear his name later!
Liu Dong didn't expect to hear the name of an "old acquaintance", and a director who makes martial arts films goes to make comedies, which is really a bit unreliable.
chatted casually for a few more words, but Liu Dong didn't ask too deeply, but it was not good.
After a simple premiere, the film officially began.
Liu Dong almost doesn't watch horror movies, and domestic ideology determines that no real "ghosts" can appear in film and television dramas, and everything will be found to be man-made in the end.
Otherwise, the director will also use "supernatural" phenomena to explain.
However, Liu Dong still heard the name Cai Jun, and later went to Singularity to write an online article, which looks like a tomb robbery article.
At the beginning, the protagonist's family of three is trapped in the tomb, and finally the mother dies listening to the loud cry of her newborn son.
Too depressing, decisive in the upper right corner of the point X.
He watched the movie while thinking about it, and he didn't know what story it was telling until 100 minutes later, when it was over.
It seems that Jiang Lang, a music producer, has exhausted his talents, broke up with his girlfriend again, and then came to a deserted village that has been abandoned for thousands of years.
There is also a supernatural story in the deserted village, which is basically an infatuated woman named Rouge. One day her husband was captured by the government and sent to the army, and Rouge and her husband made an agreement: they agreed to reunite together on the Chung Yeung Festival in 3 years, and if he didn't come back after 3 years, it would be that he died on the battlefield, and Rouge would hang himself to follow his lover.
As a result, 3 years later, the Double Ninth Festival came, and Rouge's husband had not returned, so Rouge kept his promise and hanged himself. But her husband did not die, but married and had children in another place. Rouge couldn't wait for her husband, so she sang the mysterious song that only his husband understood in the bamboo forest every day, waiting for her husband to come back, and finally her soul was entangled in this deserted village.
is a bit like the classic romance film "Rouge Buckle" starring Zhang Guorong and Anita Mui, the story of a female ghost and a loverish man.
In addition, some places are a bit similar to Jay Chou's "Fireworks Are Easy to Cold", which are all infatuated women waiting for their lovers.
