That being said, in the end, whether Hu Kaitian is willing to take over the filming, you have to ask his own opinion.

I got up and took my mobile phone, found the phone number with the note 'Hu Dao' in the address book, and dialed it.

"Toot Toot Toot Toot Too~"

The phone rang a few times and was quickly connected.

Zhang Yang originally thought that the two had so little contact, and this connection might be relatively unfamiliar.

Unexpectedly, after the phone was connected, he didn't have time to speak, and Hu Kaitian's hearty laughter came from the other end.

"Hey, brother, why did you call me all of a sudden?"

Listening to the occasional noise of the surrounding environment in the microphone, Zhang Yang smiled: "I haven't been in touch for a long time, I miss you, how are you doing?" I haven't heard from you in this time! ”

"What else, that's it, I can't compare with you."

Hu Kaitian seemed to have walked to a quieter place, and the faint noise could not be heard before.

"I said goodbye last time, but now your status is not what it used to be, a TV series and a movie have caused heated discussions in the director circle, and many directors around me are following your style. No, I just finished making a fantasy movie. ”

"Oh? Brother Hu also made a fantasy movie? How's that, when are you going to go live? ”

Zhang Yang asked with interest.

He knows that "Covering the Sky" has caused a boom in the film industry, and many people are following suit, but those big directors have their own styles, and no one has acted yet.

The followers are all found by the bosses of some film and television companies to shoot them, and there has not been an influential fantasy movie yet.

It's just that I didn't expect that even Hu Kaitian would make a fantasy movie.

Hu Kaitian is also a big director in the front rows of the Dragon Kingdom film circle, and he has filmed a lot of scenes, although none of them have exploded at the box office, but at least none of them have lost money.

can do this, and there is a place for him in the Dragon Kingdom film circle.

"Hey, I feel bad about that."

Talking about the fantasy movie that had just been filmed, Hu Kaitian was full of resentment and had nowhere to vent, and when he smelled it, he immediately poured beans into a bamboo tube and complained about all the unhappiness that had accumulated for a long time during filming.

"What a fantasy movie, the book that the company chose for me is outrageous."

"The hero and heroine fight for love and die, in addition to the background has something to do with fantasy, it is completely a sheep's head to sell dog meat, and the shooting funds are pitiful, can you believe that a fantasy movie, the investment is less than 30 million? Just this investor has to stuff people into the group, the heroine is the investor, there is no acting skills, the male protagonist is a newcomer who is highly praised by the company, he looks white and tender and can't bear any hardship, it's completely a show! ”

"In the whole movie, the two of them have the most scenes and the worst acting skills, just this movie, if you release it, you can swallow Yoneda on the spot!"

He frantically complained about this movie, and said for about ten minutes, all of which were full of various shortcomings.

What kind of management stuffed people, poor acting skills, five-cent special effects, the plot has nothing to do with fantasy, etc., etc.

Zhang Yang listened quietly, and the more he listened, the funnier it became.

From Hu Kaitian's description, he knew that this movie was absolutely a loss.

A fantasy movie, your acting skills are almost good, but the most important feature is poor?

It's a fantasy movie!

What can be shot for 30 million?

Five-cent special effects?

Zhang Yang feels that the five cents special effects may be overestimated, as far as Hu Kaitian described, deducting the salary and crew funds, at most 1 cent special effects!

It's not as good as the investment in the first season of "Dragon and Snake"!

Even worse than some online movies!

"Since you know it's not hot, why do you have to take the shot? With your current status, it should be okay to refuse to shoot, right? ”

Zhang Yang asked curiously.

Some of the directors of Dragon Kingdom are signed with film and television companies, and some have their own studios.

There is a share signed in the film and television company, and the investment does not have to be pulled by yourself, and the company can also help operate, and the pressure is much less.

But a director with his own studio who produces a film makes more money.

Hu Kaitian obviously chose to sign a film and television company.

It's just that a director of his level has to be protected in a film and television company, and if he can, he won't force it, and there is no pressure to refuse a script that he doesn't want to shoot, since he doesn't want to shoot it, why did he shoot it again?

"The Sword Comes"

"I can't help it!"

Hu Kaitian said angrily: "At that time, after reading the script for the first time, I knew that this drama would definitely not be popular, but the boss said that it is now the trend of fantasy movies, and you can make money by shooting anything, and the contract I signed with Guangguang requires that a certain number of scenes must be filmed every year, and it happened that there was one short this year, so I had to take this script." ”

"Fortunately, the contract expires this year, and I finally don't have to serve that stupid pig anymore, but as soon as this movie is released, my reputation will definitely plummet."

Radiance?

Hearing this name, Zhang Yang's heart moved, and he remembered what happened last year.

At that time, he formed a bond with this company because of the actor audition in the first season of Dragon and Snake, although the other party's Mr. Liu apologized in the end, but Zhang Yang was still very unhappy.

And later, he mostly dealt with video platforms, and rarely contacted these domestic film and television companies.

Since he wants Hu Kaitian to help shoot the drama version of "Covering the Sky", and his contract is about to expire, why don't you pull people into Xuanyu?

Xuanyu now only has one director, which is obviously a very deformed structure.

Hu Kaitian's ability is not bad, he has filmed movies and TV series, he is very experienced, he has enough investment, and he can also share the pressure of the company's operation by pulling him into Xuanyu!

Thinking of this, Zhang Yang said tentatively: "Since your contract expires and you don't want to continue to stay in the light, where are you going to go?" Running your own studio? ”

"I don't have this idea, I really can't deal with those investors, it's best to find a company that just needs to let me film with peace of mind, but there are very few such companies in China, I contacted a lot of people and wanted to go to Wanda to test the water."

Wanda!

This is a behemoth, with shopping malls, real estate, and cinemas, which are much larger than the Xuanyu stalls.

Relying on Wanda Cinemas, which are all over the cities of the Dragon Kingdom, it has entered the film and television industry and is a large film and television company that ranks in the forefront of China.

The company carries out film and television investment, production, distribution, screening and post-product and other whole industry chain businesses, and there are naturally directors who sign them.

Hu Kaitian's current level must have no problem joining Wanda, but I don't know what will happen after entering.

Anyway, Wanda doesn't seem to have any good works over the years, except for the "Tang Detective" series, and after he enters, it will definitely not be too easy to invest.

However, since Hu Kaitian has this idea, he can try to speak.

Although it is currently a TV series, who said that a TV series can't be made like a movie?

Isn't 500 million more than 30 million atmosphere?

Even if it is not to Wanda, any domestic film and television company, who dares to throw money without scruples like his Zhang Yang?

Have it?

In a word, the investment is enough!

"It's a good choice to go to Wanda, but have you considered coming to Xuanyu?" Zhang Yang got straight to the point: "Xuanyu is preparing to start filming the drama version of "Covering the Sky", there is just one less director, you are very suitable!" ”

"Xuanyu?"

Hu Kaitian was stunned.

He didn't think about Xuanyu at all.

Xuanyu is located in a second-tier city in the south, and the imperial capital, magic capital, and zhudian cities gathered in the domestic film and television circle are completely incompatible, if it weren't for Xuanyu, the city of Haihua would be a mountain lump in the minds of film and television people, and it would just sell some local products every year.

However, although Xuanyu is a start-up, it has also become the overlord of the Dragon Kingdom film and television circle, at least in Haihua, no one can beat it.

Xuanyu Company wants to have strength and strength, and it needs to have funds, so thinking about it, it is indeed a good choice.

He remembered what he had seen on the Internet again.

I heard that Xuanyu has all kinds of internal organs, and a special department has been set up for all aspects of film and television, and it has recently acquired Rakuten Video.

It can be said that if it is a TV series, it doesn't need to go through anyone's hands at all, from preparation to release, everything can be solved internally, which is an excellent place for film and television people.

It's just that Xuanyu has always only had one director, Zhang Yang, and all the films are made with big investments, with an astronomical amount of one billion at every turn, will there be extra money to make me feel at ease filming, and don't worry about other things?

Moreover, although TV series and movies are filming, there is still a big difference, and he really hasn't filmed a TV series for many years.

Will the filmed TV series be unadaptable, but it will make Zhang Yang lose money when the time comes?

He didn't dare to guarantee it.

After thinking for a while, Hu Kaitian couldn't make up his mind, it turned out that he was planning to join Wanda, but suddenly there was more flamboyant invitation, considering all aspects, he couldn't help but be tempted.

There was a long silence.

Zhang Yang did not urge, and waited quietly.

After a few minutes, Hu Kaitian hesitated: "I haven't filmed a TV series for a long time, I'm afraid of messing up, and I said, I just want to film with peace of mind, although Xuanyu has a lot of income, but you have to maintain such a big company, the capital must be very tight, I really don't want to get the relationship between you and me to deteriorate because of investment, so ......"

He didn't say it all.

But Zhang Yang heard that he was ready to refuse.

He immediately interrupted: "I know you just want to concentrate on filming, don't worry, Xuanyu has everything inside!" ”

"I know, but ......"

"Nothing!" Zhang Yang said firmly: You said you haven't made a TV series for a long time, but you've made a movie, right? Just make a TV series in the same way as a movie! ”

"As for investment, don't worry, as long as you join Xuanyu, no matter how many dramas you film, all of them will start at 500 million! I don't limit the number of shots you take every year, as many shots as you want. ”

"In terms of treatment, how much are you shining now, coming to Xuanyu, all up 50%, how about it? Is there anything else? ”

Zhang Yang grabbed a series of whites, and Hu Kaitian was dumbfounded when he heard it.

Listen to what it's called!

I said I hadn't made a TV series in a long time, and you let me make a TV series like a movie!

I said it's hard to invest!

You just say that no matter what you shoot, all of them will start with 500 million!

Even before I say anything about the treatment, you have to give me a 50% increase!

Is there such a money-throwing thing?

I know that you are willing to spend money on filming, but have you ever considered losing money?

Xuanyu earns billions, and according to this method, it won't be able to make it for a few years!

Hu Kaitian was entangled: "Are you doing this, have you considered the life and death of Xuanyu?" Brother, thousands of people in Xuanyu rely on you to eat, it's not easy for you to have the current scale, young people should be moderation or a little moderation, as the old saying goes, it's easy to spend money and it's hard to make money, you have this attitude! ”

Zhang Yang couldn't help but stop when he heard it.

If you are any director, when you hear your own conditions, you must agree immediately, and you will think so much about him?

It can be seen from this that although he and Hu Kaitian have met few times, the other party definitely regards him as a true friend, otherwise he would not have said these words.

It's a pity that he didn't know I had a system!

Zhang Yang said directly: "Brother, don't worry, I know the money in my heart, so I asked you if you came?" I definitely don't tell lies, saying that 500 million starts with 500 million! As long as you come to direct the drama version of "Covering the Sky", the funds will arrive immediately! ”

"It's... This... This..."Hu Kaitian stammered: "It's really 500 million? ”

"Nonsense!"

Zhang Yanghao said: "You and I are both directors who love fantasy movies, and we both know that in order to make good-looking fantasy movies, a big investment is essential!" ”

"For the drama version of "Covering the Sky", I am ready to go big, 500 million is just the first season! Twelve episodes and one season, one season of five billion! As many seasons as you shoot, I'll give as many as 500 million! Until the end of the shooting, there is no cap! ”

Hu Kaitian was shocked!

He really has never filmed such a rich scene!

Billion! Twelve episodes!

God, what's wrong with this world?

Is the Dragon Kingdom film and television industry so big now?

Have I traveled through a parallel plane?

The currency of the Dragon Kingdom in this world is actually the same as the money exchange rate of the universe country next door?

500 million sounds like a lot, maybe it's only 3 million over there?

Shaking his head to shake off these unrealistic thoughts, he knew that he had not crossed over!

After all, the pound of lean meat I just bought at 28 can't be faked, if it's really the same as the universe country, then it can't be more than 5,000?

"Boxing Town Mountains and Rivers" was signed privately by Zhang Yang and Watermelon Video, and the news did not spread, otherwise with its foundation, Hu Kaitian would not be so shocked as he is now.

He didn't listen to Zhang Yang's words like a joke, and he couldn't help but feel his blood surge.

Thinking about the dramas I filmed before, it seems that I have never had such a rich investment, and when filming, I can save everything I can, if I really use 500 million to shoot a season of TV series!

Isn't that really a TV series made as a movie?

Many movies have invested tens of millions of dollars, and they have dared to blow big, and if they join Xuanyu, it will be a real 500 million!

With so much money, what kind of TV series can be made?

Hu Kaitian feels enthusiastic when he thinks about it!

He couldn't help asking: "With so much money, how are you going to shoot the drama version of "Covering the Sky"?" ”

Speaking of this, Zhang Yang is energetic.

Regarding how to shoot the drama version of "Covering the Sky", he also thought about it.

Seeing Hu Kaitian asking, he couldn't help but dance with his eyebrows: "I won't talk about the funds, as long as you come, all the actors will follow the actors of the movie version, and I signed a sequel contract with these people at that time, and it is absolutely no problem to keep the original cast!" ”

"In terms of special effects, you're going to do it big! Anyway, in addition to the crew and salary, all the 500 million funds are spent on special effects, how shocking and how to come! ”

"Dragon, phoenix, sword energy, fist intent, momentum, all the sound and light special effects, use the most funds to do the best, to let the audience see it, they will feel that this is the real master fight! What shatters the void, steps on the galaxy, shakes the world for thousands of miles with one punch, plays with the stars between the palms, tears the space, and bursts the sky, all of them are arranged! ”

"Moreover, you also know that there are many combat power levels in it, and the special effects of each level must be different, so we will definitely not be the same! The low-level sword qi is ten meters, and the mountain is cracked, and I will be ten meters of sword qi, and the mountain is cracked! The high-level breaking the river and destroying the city, I will break the river and destroy the city, so that the audience can know which character has strong combat power and which character has low combat power through the special effects performance of fighting! ”

"Don't save on scene props! The destruction of all the destruction is to let the audience see it real! ”

"In addition, the costumes and props, all of them are the best, not except for the main characters, those dragon suits are all plain clothes, a few more gorgeous clothes, to let the audience know that even if he is just a dragon suit, he is also a powerful dragon suit in the background story!"

"As for the actors of other roles, you see what is missing, I will sign whichever one you value!"

“......”

Hu Kaitian was dumbfounded!

According to Zhang Yang's request, he just felt that there were a lot of 500 million, but he instantly felt that it was a little insufficient!

Whose TV series is so filmed!

Which scene props can be saved and used, and he actually asks for all the destruction to be destroyed?

Who cares what he wears, and as a result, even the actor has to have good-looking clothes!

This, this, this.......

He was shocked again!

just thought that he really wanted to shoot like this, and he didn't know what the scene would be like when the time came, but he definitely filmed the fantasy and martial arts feeling of fantasy films!

It's exciting to think about it!

"Do you really want to shoot like this?"

He asked incredulously.

Doubt and hope for a positive answer!

"Of course!"

Zhang Yang did not hesitate!

Hearing the exact answer, as a lover of fantasy culture, Hu Kaitian instantly became enthusiastic.

He also watched the movie version of "Covering the Sky", and at that time, in addition to being shocked by the beautiful and exquisite special effects of the film, he also became interested in the original work.

When I walked out of the cinema, I immediately watched it on the Internet.

For ten days in a row, the door did not come out, and finally the whole text was read from beginning to end.

The excitement of this one, even with an old bookworm like him, is amazing!

If there is a chance, a director like him, who is a heavy lover of fantasy, also wants to make this film, but not to mention the copyright, even if the light is willing to invest, it must be a small family, and if there are various departments to touch it, how much money can be left?

What can be sold for this money?

Unexpectedly, today's opportunity actually came!

Listening to Zhang Yang's filming of the drama version of "Covering the Sky", he hesitated!

Want to join Xuanyu?

Want to join?

Fantasy Entertainment Film and Television Company, listen to the name, and then look at the performance of Zhang Yang, the boss, isn't this the organization I have been looking for?

Get together with like-minded people and shoot the fantasy world of your dreams!

Isn't this better than what Wanda, what light?

It's a big deal that when my brother has no money, I cheekily go out to attract investment!

What is it to lose some face and your dreams?

......

Messy thoughts kept rolling in his mind, and combined with the words of Zhang Yang's persuasion, he finally made up his mind.

"You wait!" Hu Kaitian gritted his teeth and said viciously: "I'll fly over to Haihua right away!" You said it yourself, 500 million a season, don't regret it! ”

Publicity!

"Brother, don't worry, a gentleman is hard to chase after a word!"

"No backtracking!"
