On the camera side, Long Wuyi was as serious as facing a news reporter, as if he was being interviewed, sitting up straight, staring at the frequency curtain with bright eyes.

"Fifth brother, don't pretend to be a person, it's not on camera, you relax." Su Ming said with a smile.

"Oh...... Seeing the light of the camera flashing, it became natural to get used to it......" Long Wu also showed a smile, relaxed a lot, leaned back in the chair, and asked while looking down for something in the drawer under the computer: "How do you think of making a movie?" ”

Looking at the smiling young man on the other side of the camera lens, although Long Wu's expression was calm, four words came out of his heart: the future is terrifying.

Being able to invest in making films independently in his early twenties is extremely rare even in the golden age of Hong Kong films. And those who were willing to make movies back then, there was a huge rich family standing behind any of them, and there were almost no self-made people who purely relied on their own struggle.

Even if it is himself, there is the Xiang family behind him, who almost dominates the order of the underground world in Xiangjiang, what was he doing when he was in his early twenties? It seems that he is still playing tricks with Master Liu.

"I really don't have any money." Su Ming roughly talked about his plan to acquire the zoo.

While listening, Long Wu couldn't stop nodding slightly, and finally took out a cigar from the drawer and opened it with a cigar knife, lit it and took a puff, exhaling a thick smoke.

"Are you going to focus on tourism in the future?" Long Wu raised his eyebrows slightly.

In recent years, Xiangjiang filmmakers have gone north to make money, and Longwu's companies have also shot many films for distribution in the mainland, but unfortunately very few of them really make a lot of money, and only a handful of them can break 100 million. The mainland's film industry is a big cake, and Long Wu started as a film entertainment, of course, he is reluctant to miss it, but he has never been able to find a breakthrough point.

Even a big name like Wang Jing, with a group of dazzling stars, the few films made are lackluster, and the box office seems to be pretty good.

Therefore, when he heard Su Ming, a layman, mention making a movie, his first reaction was not that he thought it was funny, but that he saw an opportunity.

Su Ming doesn't understand movies, but he has a certain influence in the mainland, and the cooperation between the two sides may open up a different situation.

But if Su Ming is just playing tickets and is not here, it will be difficult for the two sides to cooperate for a long time.

Su Ming's evaluation of Long Wu in his heart was one level higher, sure enough, he had seen the world, his vision was different from that of ordinary people, and in just a few words, he immediately grasped the key point, and he didn't even pay attention to the zoo, and suddenly guessed his real future planning blueprint.

But tourism is still not the whole of Su Ming's plan, Su Ming thought about it and said: "Now many industries are common, whether it is tourism or movies, they are all leisure and entertainment, not only do they not hinder each other, but they can also be promoted." You look at Disney, movies, travel and entertainment are all carried out vividly, if the movie can make money, of course I will not miss it. ”

"You're going to build a ********? Aspiring! Long Wu's eyes lit up, and he gave a thumbs up to the camera, saying: "The entertainment market in the mainland is very large, enough to support a comprehensive large-scale entertainment kingdom, if you can start before others, there is a lot to do." ”

Su Ming smiled, whether you can start before others, it's hard to say, there are many large enterprises in China that have the ambition to establish ********, such as Wanda. It's a little late to start on your own.

But as Long Wu said, the mainland market is too big, and this big pond is big enough to hold many giant crocodiles.

"And how big are you going to play this time?" Long Wu asked with great interest.

Su Ming thought for a while: "Ten million, at most two million." 12 million top sky, Huaxia coins. ”

Long Wu also praised Su Ming for having great ambitions just now, and he was terrible in the future, but when he heard this number, his face twitched.

"Su Shao, do you know, what does this number mean?" Long Wu said with a wry smile.

"Small cost, small system." Su Ming shrugged and said.

"If it was placed 20 years ago, 10 million could not be regarded as a small cost, and it could barely be called a large system. But now ......"

Long Wudao: "10 million, it's really not enough, just a famous director, invite a few slightly famous actors, the 10 million will be used up, what else to film?" An investment of 10 million means that there are no stars, no big directors, no special effects, and even very few framing. Speaking of which, theaters may not be willing to schedule films. ”

Su Ming, who said Long Wu, probably also knows that money is not worth much these days, in the past, the first-line stars in Xiangjiang made a film, and the salary of one million Hong Kong dollars was only, and two million and three million were already considered sky-high, and the special effects in the movie were nothing more than hanging Weiya, explosions and drag racing were already the biggest expenses, and the crew only paid tens of dollars and 100 yuan a day, and the investment in a movie was tens of millions, which could barely be regarded as a blockbuster.

And now, everything is turned up tenfold, movies with an investment of 50 or 60 million abound, and more than a dozen films with an investment of hundreds of millions can be found every year. 10 million investment, when you say it, everyone will laugh.

But it's not completely impossible. As far as Su Ming knows, there are not many domestic movies with a cost of tens of millions, or even millions, and some of them, such as 33 days of broken love, have achieved good results. Theoretically, a 10 million investment is not a lifeless scenario.

"Step by step, the first time to test the water, of course, be cautious." Su Ming said: "Actors can not invite big names, and the special effects should be as few as possible, focusing on reality." ”

"Is there a script, what style of film?" Long Wu asked.

"There is no specific script yet, only a rough story idea." Su Ming grinned: "As for the style, small production zuò, of course take the niche route, horror films." ”

"Horror movie?!" Long Wu's head is bigger, and there are still people making horror movies these days?

The mainland film censorship mechanism is so strict, it is difficult to say whether horror films can pass the censorship.

Not to mention the market, the era of horror films has long passed, and the horror films in the mainland and Xiangjiang have almost disappeared in the cinema in recent years, and the box office is also miserable when they are occasionally released. There is a possibility of an upset in any film, even if it is a pure literary film, as long as it works well and is lucky, it is no problem to make a small profit.

Only horror films don't have this possibility, last year Xiangjiang released a nostalgic zombie film, which gathered many big names to pay tribute to classic zombie films, to have feelings, to have a plot, and the level of filming is also good, but the audience just didn't buy it, and in the end they lost a mess.

For the first time, Long Wu felt a little uncertain about Su Ming.

A pitiful small investment of 10 million, a horror movie theme destined to hit the street, no matter how you look at it, Su Ming's film concept is still stuck in 20 years ago. (To be continued.) )
