Chapter 213: Lao Mouzi as a director?

Lu Yuhan didn't guess wrong, Xiang Jia was indeed secretly targeting Tianxin Pictures.

Xiang Nineteen was beaten by Lu Yang and was hospitalized, but fortunately, Lu Yang was not ruthless at that time, and Xiang Nineteen's physical fitness was outstanding, and he was discharged from the hospital within a few days. What made Xiang Jia most angry was that this matter was somehow spread. There were only a few people present at the time, and at first they thought it was Lu Yang's news, but later found out that it was the security guard on duty at the gym at that time. The security guard who made the Xiang family make a big fool ended up very miserable, and the Xiang family also hated Lu Yang very much.

Xiang Shi knew that he couldn't make a trick against Lu Yang, not to mention the security forces around Lu Yang, once he did this, Xiang Jia and Lu Yang would not die. Xiang Jia is involved in a lot of industries and controls several electronics factories, but if he wants Luyang to compete, it is tantamount to looking for death. After thinking about it, the only advantage that Xiang Jia has over Lu Yang is the film and television industry.

The most influential film and television company under the top ten is China Star, China Star Group has the famous Yongsheng Entertainment, for people of Lu Yang's age, the Yongsheng brand has a special significance, and many classic movies in Hong Kong City began with "Yongsheng Production". In addition, Xiang Shi himself is also the vice president of the Hong Kong City Film Association, and he is an absolute Hong Kong City entertainment tycoon. Therefore, Xiang Shi said in the Hong Kong City Film and Television Circle that he wanted to ban Tianxin Pictures in Hong Kong City.

Although the Xiang family is powerful, to say that Tianxin Pictures is blocked, it is a fool's dream. Even in the golden age of Hong Kong City movies, Xiang Jia could not ban a company with the richest Chinese, let alone that Hong Kong movies have declined. In fact, the Xiang family also knows this, they just can't swallow this breath.

"No matter what the port city says, this is the mainland, just do our job well." Lu Yuhan said quite atmosphericly, "The next company has two projects, one is the highlight of this year, the 3D special effects film "Havoc in Heaven", the investment in this film is initially set at 300 million, and if necessary, it will continue to increase investment. ”

He Xiaodong was shocked, he had long expected that Lu Yang's hand would not be small, but he didn't expect that it would be 300 million as soon as he made a move. He knew that the investment Lu Yuhan was talking about was a real investment, not an investment advertised like other movies. From this point of view, this "Havoc in Heaven" is definitely the biggest investment in Chinese films.

"I've already read the movie script you submitted earlier, and it's not bad."

He Xiaodong breathed a sigh of relief: "This movie script was written by a team of Chinese screenwriters I invited from Hollywood, these Chinese were educated in China, and then went to work in the United States, so they are familiar with "Journey to the West" and are well versed in Hollywood's film model. ”

"You're doing a good job." Lu Yuhan did not hesitate to praise, "The script has been completed, what about the director?" ”

He Xiaodong said: "The director has not yet been determined, I personally prefer to find a director from Hollywood, after all, domestic directors are not familiar with special effects......"

Lu Yuhan frowned: "Hollywood's control of special effects is indeed much stronger than that in China, but with this play, it is too unlikely to invite top Hollywood directors." Even if they can invite great directors, will they be able to understand the essence of Chinese legends? When the time comes, the company's reputation will be ruined. Besides, as you know, my brother doesn't like it. ”

Lu Yuhan's analysis surprised He Xiaodong very much, he thought that Lu Yang just asked his sister to be the company's mascot, but he didn't expect that this girl in her twenties would have such the ability and vision to analyze and deal with problems, not at all like a college student who is about to graduate.

He Xiaodong secretly warned himself that he would be more careful in his work in the future.

"What the chairman said is that for this play, Hollywood directors are really not suitable. Domestic director, I think the most suitable is Lao Mouzi, who has strong ability and fame. However, he declined our invitation, saying that he had a movie in his hand and that he couldn't miss the time. ”

Lu Yuhan thought for a while: "It's really a pity, is there any other choice besides him?" ”

He Xiaodong said: "In addition to Lao Mouzi, I think the most suitable person should be Xu Ke from Hong Kong City." He is the first director of Chinese films to pay attention to special effects, and I believe that there is no problem with the grasp of special effects. ”

Lu Yuhan nodded in agreement with He Xiaodong's words, Xu Ke is a very outstanding figure among the directors of Hong Kong City, known for his innovation.

"And Xu Ke has just finished "Tongtian Empire", and there is no problem with the time. I have contacted his agent, and Xu Ke is also interested in directing this "Havoc in Heaven". He Xiaodong continued.

"Then according to your meaning, the director will be Xu Ke. Remuneration or something, you can talk to them, this aspect can be a little more lenient. Lu Yuhan said.

He Xiaodong was secretly happy in his heart, with the chairman's words, he was ninety percent sure of convincing Xu Ke.

"My brother asked this movie to be released by the end of this year at the latest, so Mr. He, you have to hurry up your work." Lu Yuhan warned, "It's April now, and there is not much time left for you. ”

He Xiaodong had a bitter face: "Chairman, the time is too rushed, the production cycle of Hollywood blockbusters is very long, and rushing like ours may reduce the quality of the movie......"

"It's up to you to solve this problem, in fact, the time given to you is not so short, the end of the year that my brother said should be the lunar calendar, so we don't have to rush to the New Year, just catch the Spring Festival." Lu Yuhan said.

"This should be no problem, in fact, it is not necessarily a good thing to be released in time for the Chinese New Year. I heard from a friend that the competition for this year's Lunar New Year stalls is very fierce, Xiaogang Cannon and Jiang Wen have new films released, but the competition for the Spring Festival stalls is not so fierce. He Xiaodong thinks this arrangement works better.

"By the way, Chairman, what about another project?" He Xiaodong asked.

Lu Yuhan said: "In addition to "Havoc in Heaven", the company also invested in a comedy movie. This film is a sequel to a film that will be released in June this year, and we have already taken the rights. This movie belongs to Xu Zheng's self-written, self-directed, and self-acted ......"

After He Xiaodong heard this, he had no expectations in his heart. Xu Zheng naturally knows that he is a good comedian, but as a director, he has really never heard of this. As for the sequel, He Xiaodong is even less optimistic.

With Lu Yuhan's beating, He Xiaodong's work enthusiasm has increased a lot. In less than a week, he went to Hong Kong City in person and signed Xu Ke. Before this, Xu Ke also got a warning from Xiang Shi, but he didn't care about it, and still chose to cooperate with Tianxin Pictures. First, Xu Ke himself has a very hard temper, and he is an old veteran of Hong Kong City movies, so he is not afraid of Xiang Jia. Second, Xu Ke's career has turned to the mainland over the years, and between Xiangjia and Tianxin Group, he did not hesitate to choose the latter.

Xu Ke himself is a workaholic, and as soon as he signed the contract, he immediately came to the capital and established the crew of "Havoc in Heaven". In terms of movie special effects, Ma Chengdong is in charge, who turned out to be the CG special effects director of Industrial Light & Magic, and was poached by He Xiaodong at a high price. Ma Chengdong found a lot of peers and established the special effects department of Tianxin Pictures, Oriental Light and Shadow.

On April 21, Tianxin Pictures held a press conference to announce the official establishment of the crew of "Havoc in Heaven". For the first big move after the establishment of Tianxin Pictures, the outside world is naturally very curious, and for a while, the media gathered in Tianxin Pictures.

At the press conference, He Xiaodong introduced the crew of "Havoc in Heaven", director Xu Ke, producer Lu Yuhan, producer He Xiaodong, and special effects Oriental Light and Shadow...... What is strange is that there was not a single actor at the press conference.

"Mr. He, may I ask how much you plan to invest in this "Havoc in the Heavenly Palace"?" Penguin's reporter grabbed the first opportunity to ask a question.

He Xiaodong smiled, stretched out three fingers, and said slowly: "300 million!" ”

Reporters were in an uproar.

He Xiaodong said: "This film is the opening masterpiece of our Tianxin Films, and it is also a project personally determined by Lu Yang, the boss of the group, and the investment of 300 million yuan is only guaranteed, if it is needed later, we will increase it." ”

"Mr. He, may I ask if the 300 million you are talking about is a real investment, or is it just for publicity?" A reporter questioned.

He Xiaodong said: "This journalist friend, I guarantee with my reputation that the 300 million investment is a real investment...... Well, you don't believe in my reputation, but you don't doubt my boss's reputation, right? This figure was personally determined by Lu Yang, the boss of Tianxin Group......"

This reporter has nothing to say, He Xiaodong has carried Lu Yang out, what else can he say? Suspect that Lu Yang can't get 300 million?
