Chapter 488: Give Me a Reason! 【4K】
Book pick-up:
It is said that just as Gao Fei was writing Spring Festival couplets in his courtyard, Ning Hao and his party suddenly came uninvited.
Seeing them like this, Goofy knew that there must be nothing good.
So he simply put the group aside, still taking care of himself and writing Spring Festival couplets there.
Seeing this, Ning Hao didn't feel embarrassed.
Anyway, he's done a lot of cheeky things, and it's not bad for this one.
Xiao Yang, who was traveling with him, was a little embarrassed, and thought that Gao Fei was really unhappy, so he couldn't help but whisper:
"Or ...... Shall we come back another day? ”
After all, the boss will work overtime during the Chinese New Year, and this operation ~ is really a bit exciting!
Ning Hao waved his hand without worry when he heard this:
"Don't worry, it's okay."
"Don't look at Lao Gao shouting all day long that he wants to be lazy, but he has never delayed his business."
Since the filming of "Crazy Stone" in 2005, Ning Hao has known Gao Fei for almost ten years.
It can be said that he watched almost the whole process how Gao Fei grew from a small actor to a film and television giant step by step.
Therefore, the reason why he stayed here with a cheeky skin was not because of the personal relationship between the two, but out of confidence in Gao Fei.
After all, if there was no such resolute decisiveness, Gao Fei would not have made Zhou Yi so big.
This point is vividly reflected in the two things that Goofy acquired at the beginning of Zhouyi and Beep.
Of course, the reason why he brought a group of people over after getting off the plane was also for the company's consideration.
You must know that although there are many projects in the circle now, good projects are always rare.
Therefore, coming early can also reduce some unnecessary accidents.
After all, who knows if the project will be cut off in advance after they go home!
Seeing Ning Hao say this, a few people on the side breathed a sigh of relief.
But when they looked around for a week and found that Liu Yifei's family was there, the gossip fire in their eyes suddenly couldn't help but burn.
Don't think that the big men don't gossip, just like the topic in the girls' dormitory is always more open than the boys' dormitory.
Seeing this situation, Ning Hao immediately understood that they wanted to be crooked, so he immediately said angrily:
"It's not to see the parents, Sissi and Lao Gao are neighbors, and the half of the alley opposite is her house."
"I heard that their family is celebrating the New Year in the capital this year, and now they probably came to visit the house."
It's just that as soon as these words came out, Xiao Yang and the others on the side couldn't help but twitch the corners of their mouths slightly.
Good guys, when did you buy a house with a hutong as a unit?
Although this osmanthus alley is a bit short, it is the second ring of the capital, on the shore of the back sea.
One person and half, are you sharing watermelons?
For a while, several people didn't care about talking about Gao Fei and Liu Yifei's gossip, and could only secretly feel sad on the side.
After all, it doesn't matter if you can't compare to Gao Fei, whoever makes him a demon, whoever compares with him is looking for abuse.
But she can't compare to Liu Yifei, a little girl, which makes these old men feel a little inferior.
You must know that even Xiao Yang, the youngest among them, is now in his thirties.
It can only be said that "people are more angry than people; Life is more important than life, and anger becomes sick".
……
Just when Xiao Yang and the others were thinking differently, Gao Fei's side was finally busy.
And not only his family, Gao Fei even wrote the Spring Festival couplets in the opposite yard, but it really gave her mother a face.
It's strange to say that when Gao Fei's net worth skyrocketed by 3 billion two days ago with the listing of Digital Domain two days ago, her mother didn't feel anything.
But today, Gao Fei showed his superb calligraphy attainments, but it made Gao's mother happy.
It seems that in her eyes, her son earns 300 million, and he can't compare to being good at calligraphy and having face.
For a while, Gao Mu's eyes were a lot kinder when she looked at Gao Fei.
On the other side, Gao Fei did not delay any longer, and even took Ning Hao and his party into the study.
Before a few people could speak, Gao Fei took the lead in laughing and teasing:
"Why, it's not the New Year yet, and you guys have come to pay New Year's greetings? It's too early, isn't it? ”
Hearing this, Ning Hao suddenly laughed and said:
"Hey~ just pay a visit to the early years!"
After a few teases with each other, Ning Hao got down to business.
Didn't China Film send a group of directors to Hollywood for investigation and study?
Not to mention, Ning Hao and others have benefited a lot in the past six months.
Perhaps because of the bypass, the directors have more or less had some inspiration in the past six months.
So they went back and forth, while inspecting, and at the same time, they basically had a project in their hands when they returned to China.
At first, they were thinking about returning to China to find someone to invest, but before they got on the plane, they heard the news that Digital Domain was listed on the Hong Kong stock market, and Gao Fei's net worth skyrocketed by 3 billion in one day.
So the group suddenly had an idea in their hearts.
After all, Zhou Yi's reputation in the film and television industry has always been good.
In addition to commercial films, in recent years, he has also successively invested in many literary films and produced many masterpieces.
I won't talk about the "Piano of Steel" the year before last.
The "Ten Thousand Arrows Through the Heart" released in the first half of this year is also a rare masterpiece.
not only won the Best Film Award at the Huabiao Awards, but the heroine Yan Bingyan also won the Huabiao Actress and the Actress of the Great Film Festival with this movie.
By the way, Li Xian also won a Huabiao Award for Best Newcomer by the way, which can be regarded as half a foot and successfully stepped into the film industry.
It can be said that today's Zhouyi Film and Television, with a first-hand box office and a first-hand award, has completely suppressed Huayi.
But winning these accolades doesn't come without a price.
Don't look at "Ten Thousand Arrows Through the Heart", which has gained a lot at major film festivals, but it ended miserably at the box office.
Until the movie went offline, the total box office of "Ten Thousand Arrows Through the Heart" was only 2.49 million.
From the perspective of investment alone, this wave of Zhouyi can be regarded as a blood loss.
However, this is not the first time Zhou Yi has done a loss-making business.
For example, although the previous art films had an excellent reputation, they were all dismal at the box office.
Therefore, for this kind of financier who knows that he is losing money and is willing to invest in them and make movies, the directors' senses are naturally very good.
Of course, on the other hand, it is also thanks to Huayi's foil.
You must know that in the early years, Huayi was more eager to achieve quick success, and he has always been able to take care of these films that are not profitable.
But then again, it was originally the most suitable thing to find Zhongying for this matter.
After all, this trip to Hollywood for inspection and study was promoted by China Film in the final analysis.
According to industry practice, even if there is any achievement, it should be counted on the head of Zhongying.
However, although the convention is so, Han Sanpin will retire next month.
And for this kind of hand tail of the predecessor, the next one generally does not pay much attention.
Because it's purely thankless, the credit for doing a good job is also on the ex.
After all, office politics is inevitable everywhere.
Therefore, before going abroad, Han Sanpin told them, don't have scruples, if you encounter a good opportunity, go on, and don't wait for China Film to invest.
It is precisely for this reason that after getting off the plane, this group of people did not think about going to Zhongying for the first time, but came to Gao Fei here by accident.
After listening to Ning Hao's explanation, Gao Fei immediately nodded silently and didn't say anything.
Because of this, Han Sanpin also greeted him.
However, it is not to attract investment for this group of directors, but to let him invest without scruples.
If you come across something you like, just start directly, and there is absolutely no opinion on Zhongying's side.
I have to say that Lao Han Lin's mind has become more and more delicate after retirement, and his work has become more and more atmospheric.
But friendship is friendship, business is business, and the two cannot be confused.
Therefore, Gao Fei didn't say much, just silently took over the script of a few people.
Seeing this, several people on the side couldn't help but feel nervous.
After all, Gao Fei's vision for picking scripts is well-known in the industry.
If Gao Fei refuses this time, then even if he can't attract investment, it will inevitably affect other people's opinions in the future.
This can be regarded as the invisible influence that Goofy has accumulated over the years!
In contrast, Ning Hao was the most relaxed.
Well, he really didn't need to be nervous.
Therefore, when a few people held their breath and waited silently, Ning Hao had the leisure to appreciate the calligraphy and paintings in Gao Fei's study.
However, what can be placed in Gao Fei's study is naturally all high-imitation Dongpo calligraphy and painting.
Therefore, Ning Hao watched it for a long time, except for a sentence of "", he didn't hold back any good fart.
……
It's different from the script of a TV series that often has hundreds of thousands of words.
The content of movie scripts is usually not much, usually thirty or fifty thousand words are enough.
So Goofy looked fast, and after about half an hour, he put down the document in his hand, and fell into deep thought with a slight frown.
How so...... This time it was a bit of a surprise to him.
From hardcore sci-fi to sci-fi comedy;
From fantasy comedy films, to suspense comedies;
Although most of them are related to comedy, the main factors are different.
By the way, there's also a modern war movie.
Thinking of this, Gao Fei suddenly couldn't cry or laugh.
"I've seen you guys...... It's really not in vain! ”
After a while, Goofy, who came back to his senses, immediately laughed and teased a few people.
Ning Hao was not polite at all when he heard this, and said with a smug face:
"That is, our brains are no worse than those of the United States, and we can shoot what they can shoot."
Hearing this, Gao Fei also nodded approvingly.
So Goofy didn't go around in circles with them, even if he got straight to the point:
"First of all, the projects are pretty good."
"But given the current situation in China, certain types of movies are not so easy to make, and I hope you all know this before you start filming."
"Although it is good to have ideals, difficulties also exist objectively."
Speaking of this, Gao Fei turned his head to look at Guo Fan on the left:
"For example, Director Guo's "The Wandering Earth", the story is very good, and the idea is also good."
"Even whether it's special effects technology or funding, Zhou Yi's side is not a problem."
"But...... I need a reason! ”
I saw Gao Fei staring at Guo Fan's eyes with blazing eyes, and said with a solemn look:
"Why did you convince me that you could handle such a huge project?"
Although there are no detailed shooting plans yet.
However, with Goofy's many years of experience, it is not difficult to estimate the approximate shooting cost of "The Wandering Earth".
At least in Gao Fei's opinion, if you want to shoot the picture effect in Da Liu's original work, don't even think about it if you don't have 600 million!
So although Goofy's words are straightforward, they are indeed very realistic.
In fact, it is him, if it were another investor, it is estimated that Guo Fan would leave without even looking at it.
You must know that although the cost of Wu Yusen's "Red Cliff" was as high as 600 million yuan, it was evenly spread over the two movies, and the average cost of each movie was 300 million.
But even so, the project "Red Cliff" is still a loss.
Don't look at the total global box office of the two "Red Cliffs", which is equivalent to 1.52 billion yuan.
However, most of the overseas releases of Chinese-language films sell copyrights, and the box office proceeds belong to overseas distributors.
Not to mention that "Red Cliff" originally had Japanese investment.
So even if the box office of the two "Red Cliffs" is higher than that of Huaxia in Fusang, those have nothing to do with China Film, and those who should lose money still have to lose money.
If it weren't for this, Han Sanpin, who has always liked to make blockbusters, would not have avoided Wu Yusen after cooperating with a "Red Cliff".
And in terms of box office prospects, "The Wandering Earth" does not have the advantage of the Three Kingdoms theme of "Red Cliff", and I am afraid that there is even more hope at the overseas box office.
Therefore, even though the box office ceiling of domestic films is constantly rising, the box office pressure faced by "The Wandering Earth" is even more severe.
At the same time, in the face of Gao Fei's rhetoric, Guo Fan didn't know what to say for a while.
After all, hardcore sci-fi blockbusters burn money, which is indeed a recognized fact in the film and television circles at home and abroad.
Therefore, he could not refute every word Gao Fei said.
Even himself, Xiao Yang and others on the side, all understood Gao Fei's concerns.
Indeed, not to mention how the movie ended up.
The cost of 600 million alone is enough to make everyone cautious.
So as soon as Gao Fei's voice fell, Guo Fan suddenly fell silent.
It's just that although he didn't know how to answer Gao Fei for a while, it was obvious from Guo Fan's eyes that he still didn't give up.
Seeing this, Gao Fei nodded slightly in his heart.
After all, if he gives up after a little blow, then it can only mean that he is really not suitable to host such a big project.
So after seeing that Guo Fan was speechless, Gao Fei did not continue to ask, but said softly:
"If you still insist on this idea, you are welcome to come to Zhou Yi at any time to talk to me!"
After saying that, he skipped Guo Fan and looked at the others.
