"Mr. Lei, can I delay you for a while?"

Xu Anhua said to Lei Juewen. Pen? Interesting? Pavilion wWw. ｂiquge。 ｉｎfo

"Hmm?.. Of course. ”

Lei Juewen was stunned when he heard this, and then nodded with a smile, although he didn't know what Xu Anhua was going to say to him, but with Xu Anhua's future achievements in the film industry, he naturally didn't mind some time.

Xu Anhua said bluntly: "This time I came to Light Curtain Film and Television, I have a film that I want to seek investment, and I have made an appointment with Manager Li of your company, but Mr. Lei, you are the boss of the company, I think it may be better to find you." ”

Lei Juewen nodded and said, "Then let's go up and talk." ”

Chen Yulian said: "Sister Xu, Mr. Lei, I'll go first." ”

Xu Anhua looked at Chen Yulian and said, "Xiao Chen, don't be in a hurry to leave, let's have a good chat later." ”

Chen Yulian hesitated, nodded slightly, and looked at Lei Juewen.

Lei Juewen smiled and said, "Let's go together." ”

The three of them took the elevator and went up to the floor where the film company was located. When he went to Lei Juewen's office, Lei Juewen said to a staff member and asked him to inform Li Chaosheng that he had personally handled Xu Anhua's matter.

When they came to Lei Juewen's office, the three of them sat down on the sofa.

Xu Anhua took out the prepared script from his bag, handed it to Lei Juewen and said, "Mr. Lei, this is the script." ”

Lei Juewen took the script and read it, and after reading some of it, a surprised look appeared on his face, he didn't expect it to be this film, and then watched it.

When the Japanese photojournalist Akutagawa returned to the newly liberated country of Vietnam three years later, he was delighted by the vitality of the place, but when he accidentally walked into another corner of the city and met a local girl, Qin Niang, he realized that what he had seen before was nothing more than a whitewash of the peace arranged by the Viet Cong government for foreign journalists like him. Under the unintentional 'tour guide' of Qin Niang, the miserable life of the ordinary people in Vietnam who are in dire straits is gradually seen by Akutagawa. Akutagawa's sensitive and kind heart was strongly touched by the self-esteem of the Viet Cong and her lover Zu Minh, who was trying to escape from Vietnam, and her lover Zu Minh, who was trying to escape from Vietnam, and even though he did not have the ability to completely change their fate, he still tried his best to help.

After reading the general content of the plot, Lei Juewen knew the name of this film - "Running to the Angry Sea", a film that should not appear in a few years.

Putting down the optimistic script, Lei Juewen said: "Ms. Xu, this is a literary film. ”

Xu Anhua nodded, she knew if it was a literary film at a glance, she said: "Mr. Lei, this is a literary film, yes, but there is already a company willing to invest in the film, and if Mr. Lei is also willing to invest, the investment cost of this film will not be too much." ”

"Already have investors?"

Lei Juewen was stunned when he heard this, the box office of the film "Running to the Angry Sea" is still very good, he is willing to invest, but if there is already an investor, he will not be very concerned, if he can, he does not want to invest in the film with other companies and share the benefits. For film companies, investing with other companies can reduce risks, but for Lei Juewen, it is about sharing benefits with others, not reducing risks.

Xu Anhua said: "Qingdao producers are interested in investing in this film. ”

"Qingdao producer?"

Lei Juewen was stunned, and then asked: "The Qingdao production where Xia Meng, one of the three princesses of the Great Wall, is located?" ”

Xu Anhua nodded and said, "Yes." ”

Lei Juewen knew Xia Meng, a smash hit movie star in the fifties and sixties, and could even be said to be the first person among many stars at that time, and she was also Jin Yong's dream lover, and the heroines in many of Jin Yong's novels were written based on Xia Meng. In addition, last year, Xia Meng also participated in the National Literary Congress of the mainland, and was also in the newspaper at that time, and his political tendencies needless to say.

Looking at Xu Anhua, Lei Juewen didn't know if she had thought about her political position, so he thought for a while and said: "Ms. Xu, I am willing to invest in this film, but if Qingdao producers invest together, I can't agree to it." ”

"Is Mr. Lei afraid of the blockade of the Taiwan market?"

Xu Anhua asked out loud, she still knows some of these truths, not to mention that she knew about this when this film first found her as a director.

When Lei Juewen nodded, Xu Anhua said, "Mr. Lei, you don't have to worry about this. In fact, I was not invited to be the director of this film at the earliest, but directed by Yan Hao, and the film was supposed to go to Vietnam for filming, but because of the investment, Director Xia Meng suggested going to Hainan Island in the mainland to film. The Taiwan authorities have regulations that anyone who has filmed or filmed in the mainland will be banned, and Taiwan Island is the main market for Hong Kong films, so Director Yan Hao finally refused to become the director of this film, and Director Xia Meng approached me. ”

"In my opinion, since it is impossible to go to Vietnam for filming because of investment costs, it is completely possible to find other filmmakers to increase investment costs, so that if you don't have to go to Hainan Island for filming, you don't have to be blocked by the Taiwan Island market."

Lei Juewen immediately shook his head when he heard this, and said, "Ms. Xu, don't forget, last year, the mainland and Vietnam also fought a war. ”

Xu Anhua said: "But the war is over. ”

Lei Juewen shook his head and said: "It's true that the war is over, but in Vietnam's view, we Hong Kong people are only afraid that there is no difference, and if we go to Vietnam to film, it is possible that we will not come back, and there is no need to risk our lives for the filming of a film." ”

Affected by the war, Lei Juewen's theaters in Southeast Asia did not include Vietnam, but he was afraid that something would go wrong, and now it is naturally impossible to go to Vietnam to shoot films.

Xu Anhua said with some disappointment: "In this case, Mr. Lei is unwilling to invest in this film?" ”

"No, I'm still willing to invest in this film."

Lei Juewen shook his head and said: "In addition to Vietnam and Hainan Island, you can go to other countries in Southeast Asia, such as Malaysia, Brunei, the Philippines, Singapore and other countries, as long as it is suitable, you can go." ”

Xu Anhua reminded loudly: "In that case, the investment cost of the film will be very large, and it will be difficult to recover the cost." ”

"I'm not worried about this, I can fully invest in this film."

Lei Juewen said with a smile, he is not worried that this film will not recover the cost, in his memory, this is a rare high-grossing literary film, with a box office of more than 15 million Hong Kong dollars, and now there will not be so much box office when it is filmed and released, but as long as there is half of the box office, he will definitely not lose money.
