"So, you're coming to me?"

Han Lan listened to Wang Xianzhi's story of the dispute between him and Zhao Chengwen three days ago, sandwiched a piece of pork belly for himself, and ate it in one bite.

"Han Lan, now only you can understand me, I believe that since you can advocate the filming of a MV like "Silk Play", you will definitely understand what I want to do!" Wang Xianzhi said excitedly.

His eyes were already bloodshot, and he could tell that he hadn't slept very well these days.

Han Lan glanced at him expressionlessly, silently sandwiched the dishes for herself, and ruthlessly pierced: "Do you think that I am the only one who is wronged in China at present, and I am willing to invest in you to make this non-mainstream movie?" ”

"Hehehe......" Wang Xianzhi smiled embarrassedly.

A large part of the reason why he came to Han Lan was indeed for film investment.

Zhao Chengwen was very opposed to him making this movie, so it was impossible to invest in him. Even investors who are familiar with Zhao Chengwen will not pay him to make this movie. In fact, it is estimated that Zhao Chengwen does not need to greet them, and in this marionette market, it is difficult for investors to spend one or two hundred million yuan to burn and play.

So in the end, after thinking about it, it seems that only Han Lan, a "loser", has hope.

After all, he dared to spend 5 million to make a blockbuster-level MV!

"Let's talk about your specific plan, even if you pull investment, you can't fool people in one sentence, right?" Han Lan didn't refuse directly, and chatted casually while eating the meal.

Wang Xianyi saw that there was still hope, and hurriedly said: "Han Lan, that's the case, I plan to make "Silk Play" into a movie, and expand and enrich the plot when the time comes, taking advantage of the fact that the song "Silk Play" is now popular, it can attract the attention of many fans. Then we cooperated with the Licheng Puppet Troupe, all the characters in the movie were played by puppets, and we used miniature scenes to build the scenes, which can be made more delicate and realistic than the traditional stage. Then dubbing, I plan to invite well-known domestic voice actors to dub, so that the effect will be better. And special effects......"

Han Lan watched him babble about his plan while eating, and the more he talked, the more excited he became, and finally stood up and gestured to cooperate with the explanation.

I have to say, very thoughtful.

If he really gets started, puppetry will become a novel theme of the movie, and it will indeed form a new industrial chain. Those puppeteers will also join the crew as actors and get paid, even if it is just ordinary actors, it is better than what they are in the troupe now.

If the movie becomes popular, their value will also rise. If there is money to be made, there will naturally be young people who are willing to learn, not to mention passing it on, and it may flourish again.

But the premise of everything is that this movie is going to be successful! The market needs to be able to accept this movie!

The idea of making a movie out of puppets is really good, but it's also an awkward situation, caught between live-action and animated films. Live-action movies are currently the mainstream, and their status is definitely unshakable, and compared with animated films......

In fact, there are already "puppet shows" in contemporary film and television works - CG animation. Different from traditional two-dimensional animation, it is not drawn frame by frame, and all the characters, animals, and scenes in it are virtual models built by computers, which is equivalent to creating puppets in the virtual world, and then operating them like puppet shows. It's just that the puppets are in reality, and the CG models are in the virtual world of computers. But also because there is no entity, it can have a higher ceiling!

This is also a potential competitor for puppet theater that wants to be filmed.

And many people have a natural fear of this humanoid object, which means that even if it is successful, it can only be an unpopular movie, and the audience is very limited.

Han Lan remembered that there were indeed puppet film and television works in his previous life, called Thunderbolt Puppet Show. But in fact, the audience that likes it is very limited, at least compared to animated films, let alone live-action movies.

Investing one or two hundred million yuan in such an unpopular subject is not an ordinary risk!

"Han Lan?" Wang Xianzhi frowned when he saw Han Lan, and he was also very worried in his heart.

If Han Lan doesn't support him, then he basically doesn't want to make this movie.

At least not yet.

Han Lan shook her head slightly: "The probability of this movie hitting the street is too great......"

"Han Lan ......" Wang Xianzhi was about to persuade him again, but he saw Han Lan waving his hand to interrupt him, and continued: "I understand that puppet show has its unique advantages, which is nothing more than that poor intangible cultural heritage plaque. But this thing really has to be excavated, and it is too difficult, and the input cost is not proportional to the benefit at all. ”

Wang Xianzhi lowered his head in disappointment.

"Director Wang, you know, our Tomahawk Entertainment is a private enterprise, and it is impossible for us to invest in a movie that loses money. Unless ......"

When Wang Xianzhi heard this "unless", he immediately raised his head.

Han Lan showed a hint of embarrassment, and stopped talking for a moment, looking at the appearance of his eyes, he still sighed lightly and said: "Our company has a dream plan for internal employees, and we can accept losses. ”

"......" Wang Xianzhi finally understood what Han Lan wanted to do.

Co-author Lao Tzu has a crush on your money, but you have a crush on Lao Tzu's people?

"Director Wang, our company's dream plan is also limited every year, if you join, I can recommend it for you a little, and there is a high probability that you can get on." But if you want it, you have to do it as soon as possible, the registration will end next month, and if you want it again, you will have to wait until next year......" Han Lan felt that he was not hinting at it clearly enough, so he increased his strength.

Wang Xianzhi was about to cry: "Master Han, don't tease me, okay?" You know, I'm now hanging under the teacher's studio, and I was also brought up by the teacher step by step, so it's impossible to jump ship and leave unthankfully......"

Han Lan nodded approvingly: "My friendship with Director Zhao is also good, you are actually very difficult for me to jump ship, it seems that I am too inauthentic!" I, Han Lan, am also well-known in the circle, I really can't do this kind of immoral thing! ”

"......" Wang judged.

Han Lan raised her eyebrows and glanced at him, and said with a smile: "That's it, I'll ask my dad to help you intercede with Director Zhao, he and Director Zhao are also old friends, oh, and Dean Su, he and Director Zhao are also familiar with each other." Let them help you persuade Director Zhao, I believe that Director Zhao signed a contract with you not to make money from you, but to really appreciate your talent and want to cultivate you. Now, since you have your own ideas and he can't support them, I'm sure he'll let it go. And it's just a change of company, and it's not for you to sever the teacher-student relationship, the relationship between our Tomahawk Entertainment and Director Zhao is so iron, isn't it like you come to our company? It's still a family after all! ”
