Chapter 702: Say Cao Cao, Cao Cao will arrive
"Gongzi Xie, I know a little bit about Lu Yang."
"Oh?" Gongzi Xie turned to look at Lao Wang.
Lao Wang also looked at him and sneered, "But I have to correct a little, it's not Kaizi who invested in his project?" β
"Really?" Xie Gongzi didn't seem to notice his sneering tone, and couldn't help laughing again, "With the current world, who still shoots costume martial arts?" β
After a pause, this Xie Gongzi continued: "Don't say it's costume martial arts, even if it's your Lao Wang's Great Ming Tribulation, I think it's enough to choke, because the hottest and most profitable movies now are all urban themes, just like Thai embarrassment, small times, to youth, costume films, rotten!" β
Lao Wang and Lu Yang glanced at each other, and they couldn't help but flash a trace of helplessness.
What Xie Gongzi said is indeed not wrong at all, the hottest movie theme now is the city.
As for costume films, they have long been seriously overdrawn by those epic blockbusters that have been more than one in the past few years, and have become a movie theme that all moviegoers can't avoid.
Therefore, almost all film companies, when they receive scripts and projects about costume films, their first reaction is to refuse.
"Gongzi Xie, what you said is indeed true, but is it true that the market has a bad reaction, so you won't shoot it?" Lu Yang spoke out against it.
He acknowledges that this is the case, but that doesn't mean he has to give up.
"Lu Yang is right, if everyone stops making costume films, won't this type of movie be scrapped? When a few years later, when the craze for urban themes subsided, and the audience missed costume films again, what did you use to shoot them for others? How did you make a movie that audiences would like a few years later? β
Lao Wang is also quite indignant, because this Xie Gongzi is a classmate with him, but it seems that he only has the snobbery of a businessman, and there is no discipline and perseverance that a filmmaker should have.
Xie Gongzi didn't expect these two guys to refute himself face to face, and he was a little surprised, but when he wanted him to give a strong rebuttal, he couldn't help it, so in the end he could only point at them and shake his head.
"You guys, Too young, too simple, completely naΓ―ve and self-centered, what do you think everyone invests in movies for? Not to make money yet? Who cares what you say? β
When Lu Yang heard this, he immediately sneered again, "Then let me ask you, Gongzi Xie, if you really say so, the movie theme will be less and less, and the road will be narrower and narrower, if you want to say so, what will you shoot after more than ten years?" What else to earn? β
When Lao Wang on the side heard this, he immediately praised it and gave Lu Yang a thumbs up, "Good question!" β
The two looked at Gongzi Xie again, who had been forced into speechlessness.
"Okay, okay, I can't mean you anyway, but do you think the world is really what you say?"
As if he had also found a weapon to fight back, Gongzi Xie pointed around.
"You guys, take a look, Lao Wang, it's Miracle Pictures that invested in you, right? Do people take you seriously? The important screening venue was so calm, and the company didn't even have a person, how do you explain it? Do you dare to say that Miracle Pictures values you very much? Supporting you a lot? β
Lao Wang was also speechless suddenly, because he really didn't expect it to be so deserted.
Ask yourself, Miracle Pictures is still quite supportive of him, such as the budget, his original plan was about 10 million, but after the script doctor of Miracle Pictures discussed and studied with the screenwriter team, he deleted some of the scripts and increased the budget to 20 million.
After the project was established, the formation of the crew was also quite professional, which made Lao Wang, who had been in the film for many years, feel what professionalism was for the first time, which can almost be said to be the smoothest drama he filmed, and at the same time, he also filmed the effect he wanted.
I just didn't expect that the screening venue would be so deserted.
Perhaps for Miracle Pictures, a large company that has only been established for three years but has already become the core of the film industry, a film with an investment of 20 million yuan is nothing at all.
Seeing the expressions of the two of them, Gongzi Xie was even more proud.
"Did I say yes? Even if you say a hundred or ten thousand words, can you change reality? β
"If Miracle Pictures really attaches so much importance to you and your project, then they should be here now, not only the senior management of their company, but even the boss behind their company, Yang Huan!"
"But now......" Gongzi Xie stretched out his arms very arrogantly and shook his head, "...... Not a single one came! β
But just as he finished speaking, he saw a burst of bright headlights turn in the distance, a roaring sports car sounded, and then he saw a new Aston Martin successor speeding from a distance.
Hearing a screeching sound of brakes, the successor stopped steadily in front of Gongzi Xie.
Who is it?
Everyone present paid attention, and such doubts flashed through everyone's minds.
When the car door opened, I saw a handsome young noble man getting out of the car, and everyone was stunned when they saw him.
He swept around, smiled slightly, and walked to the passenger seat.
Zhuang Ziqing also came out of the passenger seat, and as soon as he appeared, his graceful demeanor and beautiful face immediately stunned everyone at the scene, and they almost even fell out of their eyes.
When Yang Huan approached, Zhuang Ziqing smiled, took his hand affectionately, and walked to Lu Yang and the three of them side by side.
Xie Gongzi, who bore the brunt of the attack, panicked.
It's really Cao Cao, Cao Cao has arrived!
Yang Huan was just mentioned, and it turned out that Young Master Huan came!
My God, don't get out of the basket, if Young Master Huan knows that I was like that just now, can I still mix in the capital?
But just when he was nervous, worried about whether Young Master Huan would go to him to settle accounts, Yang Huan pulled Zhuang Ziqing past him, and he simply regarded him as a transparent person, and he didn't pay attention to him at all.
But when he passed in front of Lu Yang and Lao Wang, Yang Huan suddenly stopped.
"Lu Yang? The old king next door? β
The two were stunned for a moment, and then flattered.
"Yes, I'm Lu Yang, Young Master Huan!"
"Young Master Huan, I'm the old king next door, you just call me the old king!"
Yang Huan immediately laughed, "I have read the scripts of both of you, they are all quite exciting, I heard them say, you also filmed very carefully when filming, very good, very good!" β
"Thank you, Young Master Huan, for your appreciation!" Lao Wang and Lu Yang were both a little flattered.
Unexpectedly, he was in front of Young Master Huan at any time and became the number one person who could pronounce his name!
"I have time today, I want to watch a movie!" Yang Huan explained his intention.
"How? Lao Wang, the part where Sun Chuanting fought the local tyrants, debated with Wu Youke, and the two siege battles before and after, did the filming work? β
Young Master Huan's expression when he asked had a sense of impatient anticipation.
"Well, Young Master Huan, basically the effect and artistic conception have been shot!"
Yang Huan praised it, "That's great!" β
He read the script and felt that although the whole story was a little slow, it was quite exciting, especially after the script doctor of Miracle Pictures negotiated with the screenwriter, he deleted some dispensable side details, so that the duration of the movie was shortened to about two hours, and the rhythm became more compact.
But the most important thing is the fight against local tyrants, debates, and the two siege battles at the beginning and end of the film**.
Yang Huan was hooked just by reading the script, if he watched it in the cinema, I am afraid that even goosebumps would rise.
Therefore, he always said that there are not no outstanding filmmakers in China, but there is no environment for these filmmakers to give full play to their talents and give full play to their strengths with peace of mind.
Yang Huan thought of this, and saw Lu Yang again, "Your embroidered spring knife, I also like it very much, they have seen **** before, and the evaluation is also quite high, and it is not lost to the Great Ming Tribulation at all!" β
Lu Yang immediately thanked him modestly, "That's thanks to Young Master Huan's support, especially the additional investment budget, so many scenes that couldn't be shot are now shot, and the effect of the whole movie will follow." β
Originally, he wanted to invest 20 million, but later Miracle Pictures increased to 40 million.
In the case that there is no change in the entire creative team, the extra 20 million is all spent on film production and publicity and distribution, which can be said to be spent on a knife edge.
"They told me that you've already started working on the script for the prequel?" Yang Huan asked with great interest.
"Well, yes, I just don't know if there's a chance to shoot!" Lu Yang was a little embarrassed.
He signed a movie with Miracle Pictures, and under normal circumstances, if the movie is not a hot seller, it will definitely not be able to produce a sequel and prequel, so his script will be useless at that time.
But who knows, as soon as he said this, Yang Huan couldn't help laughing.
"Xiao Deng, they all mentioned it to me, they said, you make movies with a lot of heart and ability, and the movies you make can be affirmed by them, I don't think it's much worse!"
Speaking of this, Yang Huan paused, "So, you can rest assured to prepare your prequel, I voted!" β
"Really?" When Lu Yang heard this, his eyes suddenly lit up.
This movie hasn't been released yet, and I don't know if it's a blockbuster, so I'm going to cast a prequel?
"Do you brag to me? What I said, can it be false? Yang Huan laughed and scolded.
Lu Yang immediately waved his hand to apologize, claiming that he had no other meaning, but was overjoyed.
Lao Wang on the side also congratulated Lu Yang with envy, saying that he had met a nobleman.
"Lao Wang, I also appreciate your persistence and attitude, and I also voted for your next movie!"
But soon, before Young Master Huan could make Lao Wang happy, he shook his head again.
"No, not just the next one, as long as you continue to adhere to this attitude and continue to adhere to your rigorous and attentive filmmaker ethics, I will vote for your movies in the future, whether they lose or earn!"
"It's not just you, but there are other people, even if you give me a word, as long as you really want to make a movie and have the ability to make a good movie, we at Miracle Pictures welcome it!"
Yang Huan's words suddenly made Lao Wang and Lu Yang almost happy.
I have long heard that this young master Huan is famous for his boldness, but I didn't expect that this is better than meeting, and when I see him tonight, he himself will definitely be a hundred times better than the rumored one.
As long as they think that they will no longer need to pull investment everywhere for the project in the future, look at people's faces everywhere, and be sneered at, their hearts are full of gratitude.
And Xie Gongzi, who was standing in the distance and listening, was so embarrassed that he almost wanted to dig a hole in the ground and get in.
Because he found that his dignified rich son in the capital was so insignificant in front of Young Master Huan.
But on the contrary, those two poor bastards received such a courtesy from Young Master Huan, and they felt annoying when they thought about it.
Is there such a person who hates the rich and loves the poor?
But just as he was about to turn away, he saw several more cars turning around at the entrance.
When these cars drove over one by one, they all stopped at the gate, and when the people in the cars came down, Xie Gongzi was dumbfounded.
Huang Jianxin, Chen Guofu, Xu Ke, Chen Kexin, Zhao Wei, Deng Chao......
My goodness, such a big battle?
Why are all these people here?
