Inception or The Martian? That's a problem!

Although Zhou An and Fang Lanshen have not seen the whole picture of any script, there is no doubt that they both believe that choosing any of them should become an absolute key project for the film company in the next two years, and they need to invest as many resources as possible.

But in any case, one must be chosen.

Although they didn't get the script, Sun Ya had already given them a five- or six-hundred-word introduction to the general plot, so Fang Lanshen and Zhou An both knew that "Inception" was about dreams and would be a group drama; And "The Martian" is about the rescue of a botanist on Mars by the National Aeronautics and Space Administration of China, which is a one-man show most of the time.

It sounds like "The Martian" is a bit grander.

But the agent Sun Ya clearly told the two that the investment in "Inception" will be at least 200 million Huaxia coins higher than that of "The Martian", and the plot is much more complicated and the scene is much bigger!

Such a statement made them hesitate a little.

Of course, the complexity of the plot cannot be equated with the final box office, but it can also show that "Inception" will definitely be a good quality movie. And it is linked to its higher investment, and his director is the famous Chinese science fiction director Chen Cheng......

"This old white, if only I could provide the script first."

The third time, when he was looking for a place to meet because of this matter, Fang Lanshen smiled helplessly: "As a result, I only gave a synopsis of the story, so let's choose one of them!" Hehe, except for Lao Bai's script, I'm afraid you can't find such a thing in all of China, right? ”

"Don't talk about Huaxia alone, it's not in the whole world!"

Shaking his head, Zhou An said helplessly: "But there is no way, who made Lao Bai's script sought-after?" Even if you just give a name, it is estimated that there are countless film companies willing to spend money, do you believe it? ”

"Believe, don't believe it's a fool!"

"Hahaha......"

After Fang Lanshen said this, the two of them were happy at the same time.

But after laughing, they still have to make a choice, Fang Lanshen couldn't help but sigh: "If "The Martian" was directed by Chen Cheng, then I would choose him without hesitation...... I wonder, obviously Chen Cheng is better at space-themed movies, why did Lao Bai give him a "Inception"? ”

"Hehe, who knows?"

Zhou An also smiled, shrugged his shoulders and said: "Maybe he is not very satisfied with the sci-fi film made by Director Chen, so he wants to use a "Martian" to tell him how to make a space movie?" ”

“…… Haha, it's funny! ”

"Buzz ......"

Fang Lanshen had just given the other party a Yangtian haha, and his mobile phone suddenly vibrate.

"Excuse me, I'll answer the phone."

After seeing the caller number, Fang Lanshen's face changed slightly, and he shook his mobile phone at Zhou An: "Look, Cao Cao Cao has arrived!" The woman's phone number...... I'll take it! ”

After pressing the answer button, Fang Lanshen smiled and said, "Hello Miss Sun, I'm Fang Lanshen. ”

“……”

"What? This ......"

……

"Okay, I'll let Mr. Zhou know, thank you."

After hanging up the phone, under Zhou An's inquiring gaze, Fang Lanshen smiled bitterly with a strange face: "Okay, now we don't have to worry about it anymore!" Mr. Lu, who is galloping on the horse, has already chosen "The Martian", and we only have one left to choose......"

……

"Mr. Lu, I'm glad you chose The Martian."

When receiving the first call from Lu Ganren, Sun Peng said with a smile: "Although I don't have much cooperation with your company, I wrote and directed "The Martian" this time, and I believe we will have many opportunities to further understand each other, haha." ”

"Of course, it's our pleasure!"

Lu Ganren on the other end of the phone rolled his eyes, feeling really helpless.

In fact, seriously speaking, Galloping Horse Pictures wanted to choose "Inception", after all, it was Lao Bai's script, and the director was Chen Cheng, the first person in science fiction in China, no matter how you thought about it, it was more reliable than "The Martian". But what is helpless is that in the process of negotiation, Sun Ya has been setting up obstacles openly and secretly, wanting Galloping Horse Pictures to choose "The Martian", and in the end Lu Ganren could only reluctantly agree.

He didn't doubt that Lao Bai would want to use "The Martian" to brush himself, but soon this idea was completely abandoned.

Just a few days ago, NASA held a press conference to announce the news that they would work with Lao Bai on "The Martian". And with the endorsement of the country's powerful department, Lu Ganren did not believe that Sun Peng would do such a discrediting thing.

However, why is that?

Although he was always a little puzzled, it did not prevent Lu Ganren from cooperating with Lao Bai without hesitation. So after a few polite words, Lu Ganren said in a deep voice: "Mr. Sun, you said that you would make a "Frequency of Life and Death" first, I wonder if Galloping Horse has the honor to win the production rights of this movie?" ”

"Frequency of Life and Death? Hehe, that's a small production! ”

Sun Peng was slightly surprised, but still said with a smile: "And to be honest, I didn't plan to promote this movie with much fanfare, and it is likely to be released in domestic cinemas silently in the end...... Mr. Lu, are you sure you want it? ”

"Of course, why not?"

In response to Sun Peng's question with a reminder, Lu Ganren nodded without hesitation and said: "If Mr. Sun doesn't object, our Galloping Horse Pictures is very interested in the movie "Frequency of Life and Death"!" And please believe me, Galloping Horse Pictures will definitely operate in more countries to release. ”

“……”

After listening to Lu Ganren's answer, Sun Peng hesitated for a while.

If Sun Peng is very confident in "Inception" and "The Martian", and believes that their results will definitely not be inferior to the original version on Earth after they are filmed, then there is nothing to say about the small production of "Frequency of Life and Death" - it basically belongs to the "obscure" genre on Earth, and Sun Peng has not even heard of its box office.

But one thing he is sure of is that the movie was later adapted into an American drama, and the Koreans also made a TV series called "Signal", which should also be based on the plot of this movie......

Maybe...... What can be different in this world?

After thinking about it secretly for a while, Sun Peng smiled slightly and said, "Since Mr. Lu is so confident, I naturally have no reason to refuse." But Mr. Lu, there is something I want to explain to you first. ”

"Haha, Mr. Sun, please speak!"

Lu Ganren's tone was full of joy, and he laughed loudly.

"Regarding the two male protagonists of "Frequency of Life and Death", I have already set one, that is, Yang Ming...... Yes, that's him. But I need another actor who is a little older, so how about leaving it to Galloping Horse Pictures to screen? ”

"OK, of course!"

As soon as Sun Peng said this, Lu Ganren was even happier, and he agreed in a hurry: "Teacher Sun, don't worry, at the latest, we will find you an actor with acting skills to come out." ”

"Haha, of course this is no problem for Galloping Horse, but it's better if the salary is not so high, and the salary budget for the actor in my plan is only 30 million......"
