Just when Lu Yan was puzzled, that person had already followed the front desk into the conference room.

The person who came was about forty years old, and he looked at Lu Yan and said, "You are Boss Lu of Dongcheng Imaging, right?" Sure enough, he is young, and his future life is terrifying! ”

"You may be seated, I don't know who you are?" The other party spoke authentic Chinese, and Lu Yan became more and more curious.

After the man sat down, he handed out a cigarette to everyone before continuing: "I heard that your company is going to make a shootout series of movies, but there is no film company to invest in it yet, right?" ”

Everyone who heard this looked at this person with blazing eyes, and they had already guessed in their hearts.

"This gentleman, if you have something to say, you might as well say it directly!" Lu Yan also had some expectations in his heart, but he was also a little surprised.

"I am very optimistic about Leslie Cheung, and I am also very optimistic about you. This movie, I'm willing to invest! The middle-aged man explained his meaning very directly, and it is unknown how much truth is in his words.

When he really heard this, Lu Yancai asked curiously: "Why did you choose our Dongcheng Image!?" Were you optimistic about Rong Shao and me at the beginning? ”

Fifteen million is not a small investment.

"That's right." The middle-aged man nodded, lit a cigarette for himself, and said, "I heard from outside that you need fifteen million investments!" I'll give you twenty million! ”

"What?"

Not only Lu Yan, but everyone else was also stunned by these words. That's 20 million, and he was willing to invest without even blinking an eye. If it were replaced by Golden Harvest or New Art City, they would not be so surprised. But Lu Yan is just a newcomer who is just preparing to become a director, how has there been a similar situation before.

"Don't read the script?"

For this kind of pie-in-the-sky thing, Lu Yan is still a little skeptical.

But his question, it's not just the Taiwanese filmmaker who laughed. Even Liu Weiqiang and them couldn't help laughing.

Film companies have never invested in the script, they only recognize the director and actors. After all, they don't know much about the quality of the script, and they know that no matter how good the script is, if they encounter bad movies, directors and actors, it will be all wasted money.

Immediately, Lu Yan also reacted immediately and said: "Okay! Let's talk about what kind of cooperation method you have! ”

"I invested 20 million in your movie, no matter how much you box office. How about returning me 30 million then? The Taiwanese filmmaker took a puff of cigarette and knocked on the table and said calmly.

"Hiss......" Except for Lu Yan, several people present changed their faces one after another.

Invest 20 million, no matter how much the box office is, you have to recover 30 million. They have never heard of such an investment method. And although they also have a strong confidence, in case "The True Color of Heroes" fails at the box office...... That kind of consequence is really difficult for today's Dongcheng image to bear.

"Good!"

With a calm smile on his face, Lu Yan walked up to the Taiwanese filmmaker and stretched out his hand and said, "I wish us a happy cooperation!" ”

For Lu Yan's directness, the filmmakers were stunned. He immediately reacted and shook hands with Lu Yan, and said with a smile: "Happy cooperation!" ”

The investment of the filmmaker of Dongcheng Imaging's first film was completed so easily, and people still came to the door. No one thought of this.

After signing the contract, the filmmaker left a check and left with one of the contracts.

It's so simple, it's so wonderful.

"Yan Zai, are you in too much of a hurry? In case the box office smashes ......" Liu Weiqiang was a little worried in his heart, he really didn't expect Lu Yan to think about it again.

How did they know that this was the way Lu Yan wanted to contract. In his memory, the box office of "True Colors of Heroes" in Hong Kong can reach about 35 million. Coupled with the box office recovery in Southeast Asia, excluding all expenses, it has made a net profit of more than 60 million.

During this period, Hong Kong films accounted for only a quarter of the local box office revenue. There are even classic movies that can only be counted as one-fifth or sixth.

And when the time comes, he only needs to take out 30 million from it and hand it over to the other party, which is indeed a win-win situation for him. Even the investment in the next movie can use its own funds.

Even if you want to make another blockbuster movie at that time, after the reputation is made, more filmmakers will come to you in person.

"We don't have to think much about it, we're absolutely fine."

Now Lu Yan is no longer as immature as before. The calm smile can often be seen on his face, and he is indeed becoming more and more aware of the boss and director.

"Alright! Now that the funds are in place, let's pick an auspicious one and prepare to start worshipping God. As soon as it was mentioned that Dongcheng Imaging's first movie was about to start and worship God, everyone was enthusiastic.

Although British Prime Minister Lady Ditchell fell in Yenching last year, which caused panic among everyone in Hong Kong, it did not affect the Hong Kong film industry in the slightest.

Last year, a total of 5 sets of movies had a local box office of more than 20 million, and the most worthy of virtue can be said to be Golden Harvest. Although the first place was lost to the "Best Partner" series, which dominated the list for three years, a series of movies starring Jackie Chan and Sammo Hung won the second battle for Golden Harvest.

The influence of Xinyicheng is also getting stronger and stronger, accounting for 7 out of 20, and the difference with Golden Harvest is that Xinyicheng movies are more diversified, from the youth movie "Happy Ghost" to the supernatural movie "Yin and Yang Wrong" to the warm drama "Family Portrait". Shaw also announced that it would gradually stop production this year, which can be said to be the end of a dynasty.

At this time, everyone paid attention to the end of one dynasty, but did not notice the rise of another.

To Lu Yan's surprise, the "Shanghai Night" co-produced with Tsui Hark finally lost to Huang Baiming's "Happy Ghost" at the box office. But the local box office actually collected more than 10 million yuan, ranking fifteenth at the Hong Kong box office last year.

Such an achievement can not be said to be a popular cannon of the 'film studio'. However, these honors obviously have nothing to do with Lu Yan.

Now Lu Yan needs to build his own honor. And "The True Color of Heroes" is the first shot he is about to fire for Dongcheng Image.

"It's going to start in a few days, have you found the assistant director who is still missing?"

Seeing Lu Yan's somewhat anxious look, Liu Weiqiang smiled and said, "En! I've found it, it's an old partner! ”

In fact, when it came to preparing the movie by himself, Lu Yan was finally able to understand why many directors would become the 'powder keg' on the set. In addition to shooting, there are too many things that they need to deal with, and they need to worry about it.

"Oh? Old partner, do I know each other? Lu Yan asked curiously.

"Surely you don't know it, it's a Taiwanese. It's good to do stunts, and the thrilling stunt in "Best Partner" is what he played. ”
