Knowing the intention of the two, the third master did not immediately agree as Li Zhe imagined. Instead, they fell into deep thought, which made Li Zhe and Lin Weiqiang a little confused.

This time, Huaying Group also made millions in the movie "Nightclub", logically speaking, shouldn't they be very happy to agree this time?

After all, this "People in Embarrassment" is the same as "Nightclub", it is a comedy, and it is also a low-budget comedy.

"I don't plan to let Huaying invest in this movie. ”

"Why?"

Li Zhe hurriedly asked, is it not optimistic about this project? If the third master is not optimistic, what will happen to others?

Seeing Li Zhe and Lin Weiqiang's worried looks, the third master smiled and comforted: "Don't worry, it's not because of your movie." ”

"What's the reason for that?"

"Last time, I spent a lot of company resources to help you, and even the people from the movie channel were brought in. Although "Nightclub" exploded in the end, our Huaying Group only made a few million from it, and there are many people in the company who have a lot of complaints, so I don't plan to participate in your project this time. But don't worry, I'll introduce you to a reliable investor. ”

For Li Zhe, the third master is still very satisfied. The reason why he was willing to put so much effort into helping Li Zhe was that he heard Li Zhe's thoughts on the future of the film industry.

Knowing that Li Zhe is not a businessman who just wants to make a fortune and run away, and this time "Nightclub" has not been completely taken off the shelves, but he started the production of the next movie after dividing the box office of the first issue, which undoubtedly made the third master very happy.

Li Zhe frowned, he didn't expect that the third master was unwilling to participate in the production of "People in Embarrassment" because of this matter, but he also expressed his understanding. After all, Huaying Group is not a simple company, but a semi-official company.

Within Huaying Group, they are still following some steps within the system, and there are already some bad rules for the third master to help them before.

However, he found Huaying Group not only because of his official background, but also because of the unparalleled distribution channels of China Film Group, and it is estimated that there are not many distributors in the entire film industry who can have such a strong distribution channel.

seemed to see Li Zhe's concerns, and the third master said directly to him: "I'll contact Mr. Wang of Huayi later, and you can talk to him when the time comes." ”

"Huayi?"

Li Zhe had an impression of Huayi in his mind, Huayi's full name is Huayi Brothers Media Group, which is like a giant in the film industry. Even they were established earlier than Huaying Group, and they have had many famous works before.

And there are countless artists under it, including Chen Daoming, Shuangbin and even famous Xiangjiang actors Liu Jialing and Liang Jiahui.

As far as the entire film industry is concerned, if Huaying Group does not use official means, it will not be Huayi's opponent.

It even has a pivotal position in the entire entertainment industry, and is known as the two giants of the entertainment industry together with the star emperor company in the TV industry.

At this glance, it seems that Huayi is a better choice than Huaying Group, and it seems that he has to accept the love of the third master again.

……

Li Zhe looked at the three in front of him, a little nervous in his heart.

There's no way, whoever sees the three in front of him will probably be the same as him.

The three in front of him are the three kings of the legendary Chinese art, Wang Jun, Wang Lei and Wang Jinghua. Among them, Wang Jun and Wang Lei are the founders of Huayi Brothers, and Wang Jinghua is the boss who manages artists in Huayi.

It is no exaggeration to say that everyone who sees these three people in the entertainment industry has to be polite.

"Mr. Li, we also received the call from the third master, I don't know what your company's project is in the second half of the year?" Wang Jun seemed to say casually. However, Wang Lei and Wang Jinghua also listened attentively.

"It's a low-budget road comedy called 'People in Embarrassment'. ”

"Oh?" the three of them became interested.

After receiving a call from the third master, they investigated Mengxiang Film and Television. knew that Meng Xiang was a new company, but the company's first movie got off to a good start, and the summer file actually reached a box office of more than 28 million under the pressure of "The Matrix 2", so they agreed to the request of the third master.

Otherwise, they wouldn't have agreed casually, after all, they are private enterprises, and the purpose is to make money.

And Meng Xiang Film and Television's first successful movie "Nightclub" also happens to be a low-budget comedy, and at this time, Meng Xiang Film and Television has successful experience, which can reassure them.

"Can you let us see the script?" Wang Lei thought about it for a while, but decided to read the script first.

Li Zhe handed over the script that he had prepared a long time ago, but it was embarrassing that he only prepared two scripts.

Wang Jinghua saw Li Zhe's embarrassed appearance, smiled kindly, and said: "I don't care about film investment, you can show it to the two Wangs." ”

Soon the two brothers Wang Jun and Wang Lei finished reading the script, they put down the script in their hands and looked at each other, and they had already made a decision in their hearts.

Wang Jun asked quietly: "I don't know what the approximate investment budget for this movie is." ”

"About 8 million. ”

"And how much investment do you have left?"

Li Zhe thought about it, he couldn't spend all his money on this movie, after all, there was still a TV series waiting for him to invest, so the maximum investment in this movie was 4.5 million, and he had to leave 2 million.

So he said to the three presidents: "There is still an investment of 3.5 million yuan." ”

"Okay, we can give this investment, the amount is not large, even if you lose it, it is nothing. Wang Lei said and looked at Wang Jun.

Wang Jun nodded, and the two sides immediately signed the contract.

After signing the contract, Wang Jun asked, "I don't know when you plan to release this movie?"

"Let's be in the Lunar New Year!"

At this time, Li Zhe chose a good schedule, and it is only more than 8 months now, and nearly 4 months is enough time for them to shoot the movie. And the Chinese New Year file is most suitable for such a comedy type movie to be released, and it will be released at the right time.

At this time, the faces of the three presidents suddenly changed, and Wang Lei frowned and said, "Mr. Li, you must change the schedule." ”

"Why?"

"Because we have a comedy film about to be released in the Chinese New Year, which is directed by Feng Gangpao, and filming has already begun at this time. Wang Jun replied.

Li Zhe is a little entangled, the most suitable comedy for a year is the New Year file after Christmas on December 25, and he doesn't want to give up this schedule.

"So which schedule do you want me to move to?"

"You can switch to the Chinese New Year to go to the screening. Wang Jun proposed, "The Spring Festival and New Year's Day are both New Year's Holidays, and the schedule is about the same. ”

Li Zhe sneered: "Mr. Wang, don't you take me for a fool, okay? During the Spring Festival, everyone celebrates the New Year at home, who will go to the cinema to watch a movie in the cold?"

Wang Jun was a little embarrassed, and he also knew that what he did was a little unauthentic, but this was also something that could not be helped. Feng Gangcang's movie is wholly owned by Huayi Brothers, and "Nightclub" only invested 3.5 million, which is more important, you can see at a glance.

So he bit it straight and didn't agree to be released in the Lunar New Year.
