Xu Hengzhou saw that Stephen Chow actually started to take notes, and he spoke even more energetically. To be honest, every time he goes to such a link, he feels very happy.

Because when he was an audience member before, although he had a lot of complaints about the movies he watched, the more he complained, the more he complained, the more he complained, the more he still had a lot of love and expectations for this movie.

But at that time, as an audience, he was actually completely unable to control the plot of this movie. And it is the feeling that only after watching this movie, it is even more impossible to retrospectively modify a movie that has already been made.

It's different now, the film hasn't started filming yet, and I know the director of the film and sit in a tea room with him to talk.

The content of the conversation is still the opinion on the film. So he could have spoken passionately before the film was made.

And there is a great possibility that his opinion will be accepted by the other party. Haven't you seen people directly use a small notebook to record their opinions, and they have proposed some other development directions for some plot aspects of this movie?

It must be that you will consider what you are saying before you take it so seriously! Xu Hengzhou said that he didn't want the studio to make this investment letter of intent, he decided to invest in this movie immediately, of course, he restrained himself, because at this time, the studio had already sent his overall analysis of the movie.

At this time, he and Stephen Chow happened to have talked about some key issues. It was time for a pleasant dinner again, so the two of them found a very powerful private dish according to Stephen Chow and had a meal of Cantonese food.

Xu Hengzhou ate quite happily, and did not forget to take photos and send them to Liu Yiqian to show off while eating! In order to shoot a group of photos at night, Liu Yiqian, who hadn't eaten for a day, gritted her teeth and blacked Xu Hengzhou, before she ate, it was better to break off the relationship!

After eating and drinking, after eating and drinking, Xu Hengzhou drank tea and read the analysis report sent by the studio.

He found that the studio was overestimating the film's success more than he had expected.

Speaking of which, it is also in the analysis, they are saying that first of all, the existence of Stephen Chow, the director, has blessed this movie with some things that can protect the capital, not to mention that the story itself is very novel, and it is shot in 3D, which is definitely a big score.

And if Xu Hengzhou can participate in the investment of this movie, and Liu Yiqian can play the heroine of this movie, then this movie will definitely have a full guarantee in terms of popularity and quality.

They feel that the box office of this film should achieve a relatively good result, so investing in this film should be a very good project.

In short, the attitude of the studio is in one sentence, they have invested in this project! Xu Hengzhou: That's fine.

He was kind enough to express to Stephen Chow his thoughts and that of the entire studio about investing in the film.

Although Stephen Chow had a certain degree of confidence that Xu Hengzhou would agree to invest in this movie, he didn't expect the other party to be so decisive and make this decision within one day.

He was even a little pleasantly surprised. In fact, if he wants to attract investment, it is not difficult at all, and there are many people who are willing to invest in his film.

But he also has his own ideas about the choice of investment, and he is unwilling to choose those investors with big businesses.

Because even if the other party recognizes his own ability as a director, he will also interfere with this movie for various reasons, and he really doesn't want others to criticize his movie.

Because he has some ideas, in fact, he knows that they are not accepted by others, but those who do not accept them can't actually give better opinions.

After so many years, he actually knows very well that no work is flawless, and in the process of completing a work, there will definitely be all kinds of problems, and as long as he can grasp the big and let go of the small, solve some key problems well, and achieve perfection, then other small flaws can actually be forgiven and ignored.

Especially for a work, you can't spend decades polishing it, you can only use a year, or even compress it to half a year or a few months, to complete the work.

If you want to complete to a better level during this period, then you can only ignore the bad parts and concentrate on doing what you are good at and can do well.

Stephen Chow knows his abilities very well and knows where he is good at, so he has always had a very clear goal, that is, to use the skills he is good at to do what he is good at.

And that's how he has been doing it for decades. Therefore, he chose investors before, except for those companies with whom he has cooperated many times, is very familiar with them, and has a very deep friendship, in most cases, he chooses some small investors to invest.

Even many times when his own funds are sufficient, he chooses to invest in movies in full. It's just that the investment required for this "Mermaid" is too much, and there is a great risk for him to afford it himself.

And to be honest, he doesn't have that much cash flow to cover the cost of filming this movie.

His ambition for this film is very big, and it is completely impossible to reduce costs. Therefore, he can only seek investment from the outside world, and the investment level he seeks from the outside world is actually very high.

If he wants to find a small amount of investors, then it is very difficult to coordinate the various items, so he prefers to be able to find a large number of investors with less than three times.

But the investors who can take out this kind of cash flow to invest in movies are all large companies, and because he has experienced a not very good shooting experience before, he really doesn't want to be intervened by large companies in all aspects during filming, so he thought of Xu Hengzhou.

You must know that although Xu Hengzhou is now bathed in the aura of a genius director, in fact, compared to the director, he is probably more talented than the director, and he is still his identity as an investor.

Of course, the identity of the actor is also genius enough. But in fact, throughout the history of all actors, there are not no actors who are more talented than him.

Many actors became famous at a young age, and Xu Hengzhou is a late bloomer. At least in the eyes of the industry, Xu Hengzhou can really be called a very, very talented investor.

Every film he invests in has never missed. And more importantly, although he himself said that he had opened a studio, in fact, his studio was running very steadily, and he did not invest everywhere and cast a wide net, but after seeing a goal, he followed a goal.

And the connection between each project is very good, so the cash chain of this studio is actually very strong, and the cash flow is also very large.

Therefore, the amount of investable amount in Xu Hengzhou's hand is very high, which can completely cover all the costs of his movie.

Not to mention that Stephen Chow just wants Xu Hengzhou to support part of it. In Stephen Chow's view, Xu Hengzhou is definitely his first choice.

The other party felt that he had the ability to invest in his films. Now it's just a matter of seeing if the other party is willing to invest in this movie.

And his own evaluation of his own film is that this movie is a very high-quality project, and he is very willing to invest in his own film as an investor.

Therefore, at the moment, it only depends on whether Xu Hengzhou has other options to choose from, and he thinks that he should invest in more high-quality projects.

If not, he believes that the other party will undoubtedly choose his own movie. And the same is true now, within a day, the other party has already made a decision to cooperate with him.

The beginning was so smooth, he believes that the filming process of this movie must be smooth sailing, and the filmed movie will definitely be able to achieve the box office results he expected!

After the two reached an agreement on the investment, they did not discuss the relevant details in detail, and they planned to communicate and negotiate with their respective studios.

Stephen Chow began to ask about another thing he cared about.

"What's next for you?" Xu Hengzhou heard Stephen Chow ask this question, and almost without any hesitation, he said his next plan.

The sci-fi movie "The Wandering Earth 2" and the anime movie "White Snake: Origin". Stephen Chow has no doubts about the shooting plan of the first movie that Xu Hengzhou said, and if it were him, he would definitely shoot the second part quickly.

After all, the results of the movie "The Wandering Earth" are too good now. And as far as he knows, the film is very likely to win an Oscar-related award, which can be said to be an unprecedented achievement in nearly a decade.

Therefore, shooting the second part while the iron is hot can fully develop the relevant value of this IP. If the quality can be guaranteed, then the second part is definitely a sure win.

Even Stephen Chow felt that the second movie might get a higher box office than the first movie. Because according to the historical situation, basically all series of movies, if the first part has achieved extremely high results, and the second part does not lag too far behind in quality, it will achieve better box office results than the first one.

Stephen Chow almost did not hesitate or tempt, and directly asked Xu Hengzhou for an investment position, because he knew that the second part of a series of movies like this would definitely not be wholly owned by the other party.

Since he needs to absorb investment, Stephen Chow feels that he also has certain advantages here. For example, he knows that this film has not won relevant awards from Minato so far.

But if you absorb your own investment, or even after absorbing more investment, you can definitely get an admission ticket under the exchange of resources, although because of the characteristics of this movie, it may eventually accompany you, but it is also a very good publicity stunt.

After Stephen Chow put forward the idea of wanting to invest, Xu Hengzhou certainly would not refuse. Originally, Xu Hengzhou mentioned this movie at this time, just to say that he could exchange some resources.

While investing in each other's films, the other party can also invest in his films, so as to achieve more in-depth cooperation.

And when he accepted the other party's investment request, he was not surprised to hear Stephen Chow's next question about another movie.

"Is this movie an anime movie in the same vein as the previous movie, I don't know much about the genre of this kind of movie, but as far as I know, the box office of the last movie was completely inferior to "The Wandering Earth", maybe the peripheral sales are good, maybe you should focus more on the movie "The Wandering Earth"?" Although the movie "Nezha" can be regarded as a very good result, compared with other films directed by Xu Hengzhou, it is actually not very outstanding.

Therefore, from a very commercial point of view, Stephen Chow feels that Xu Hengzhou can fully explore the direction he is better at and make box office movies that can get better results and more.

Xu Hengzhou does not deny this, there are actually many movies in his mind that can be filmed, but out of a kind of soul of Chinese comics, he still wants to shoot this "The Origin of the White Snake".

And more importantly, because the blind box industry he now has, various peripheral industries and part of the VR experience hall are actually very suitable for filming this kind of Guoman movie, because a very full linkage can be formed between the two.

Under this linkage, his commercial territory is actually more complete, and after all the resources are circulated, the income he can get from the outside world is actually more and more lasting than shooting a movie alone.

So in the long run, his choice to shoot this film was the right one. But now, it is impossible for Xu Hengzhou to use this point to tell Stephen Chow, he didn't think about finding the other party to invest in this movie anyway, so he just roughly talked about his concept of wanting to make a Chinese comic movie.

As soon as Xu Hengzhou said his own concept, Stephen Chow's gaze at Xu Hengzhou was instantly different, mainly because he instantly felt that Xu Hengzhou was more credible and a very good partner.

Generally, people who have dreams, beliefs, and may seem a little stupid to outsiders, although others may not be optimistic about some of his behaviors, but they will definitely be very willing to cooperate with each other in some projects that can obtain benefits.

Because this kind of person is generally very sincere. Definitely a very reliable partner. After Xu Hengzhou finished chatting with Stephen Chow, he went directly abroad by plane, and when he flew abroad, rested for a day, participated in a day's activities, and returned to the hotel with a full body of tiredness, he learned a good news, which instantly made his whole body refreshed.

The movie "The Wandering Earth" has been officially announced as a finalist for the Oscar for Best Foreign Language Film!
