Chapter 470: How could no one invest
The news in the circle spread quickly.
The media soon learned that Xu Nan's new film needed to attract investment, and insiders were not optimistic.
A whole bunch of news is coming out.
"Xu Nan's new film cost 500 million yuan to create the strongest special effects blockbuster in China. 》
"The failure of the Great Wall has affected Xu Nan's new movie, and investors are not optimistic about Xu Nan. 》
"There is no precedent for a successful superhero blockbuster, can Xu Nan succeed?" 》
"Liu Shishi participated in the movie for the first time, and the investor asked to change the role. 》
"Xu Nan's new movie theme is unpopular, no one cares about it, or dies because of it. 》
Seeing the news of the media and hearing some news about catching the wind and shadows, passers-by are not doing much, and Liu Shishi's fans are all anxious.
"How so?"
"Xu Nan is not a big director, how can he lack investment."
"This is Sister Shi Shi's first movie, and she is still waiting for this movie to soar."
"I don't think there's really a problem."
The little lion was anxious and desperate to find out what was going on.
Someone began to analyze.
"After all, it's a cost of 500 million, and he will definitely not be able to take it out alone, so he has to find outsiders to invest."
"Shi Shi is the first time to participate in a movie, although we all know that Shi Shi is the best in the world, but investors don't know."
"And the failure of "The Great Wall", the highest-investment film in history, has hit the enthusiasm of investors and made film investment cold this year."
"The first time Xu Nan made such a high-cost film, there will definitely be people who doubt whether he can succeed."
"Superhero movies are indeed rare in China, and the special effects blockbuster "The Great Wall" hit the streets."
The more they analyzed, the more the little lions felt that the future was bleak.
The prospect of this movie really doesn't seem to be very good.
Could it be that just because you can't find investment, this movie is going to die?
But don't.
Pinnacle Films.
Xu Nan, who was writing the script, received a call from Liu Yang.
"Mr. Xu, many people are looking for me, rushing to invest, even if it is to spend more money, and there are still people who give me beauty tricks, all kinds of sugar-coated shells."
Xu Nan smiled: "Others are not happy to rush to give you beautiful women, what is there to complain about." ”
To be honest, Xu Nan has never worried that no one will invest in the movie, because that situation is simply impossible.
As it turned out, he was right.
Liu Yang said speechlessly: "I must be happy that others flatter me, but the problem is that I don't have the right to decide." ”
Xu Nandao: "But you have the right to recommend, don't forget my requirements, I am in charge of the whole process, and I can't dictate the filming." ”
Liu Yang replied: "Don't worry, Mr. Xu, I will take care of it, and I will definitely negotiate the best conditions." ”
Liu Yang hung up the phone.
Don't look at him calling and complaining to Xu Nan, in fact, he is in pain and happy.
To be precise, it doesn't hurt at all, and the light is happy.
Pulling investment and asking for money is a chore on the surface, but in fact, it depends on who the person who pulls the investment is.
Ordinary people pull investment, that is to be a grandson, all kinds of begging grandpa, suing grandma.
But Liu Yang was looking for investment for Xu Nan, that was to be a grandfather, and others flattered him in all kinds of ways.
The reason is simple.
Xu Nan's movies are really not short of investment.
Because he has proven himself by success after success, proving that he can make money. Capital is very realistic, as long as you can make money, let alone make bad movies, you have no problem shooting the production picture of the nine-turn intestine.
Xu Nan made movies before, because the cost was very low, and there was no loss if he lost money, so he didn't need to invest all the time, which made countless people sigh.
is such a profitable movie, you let me invest, even if you spend more money to buy shares, it doesn't matter.
Part of the reason why Xu Nan's reputation was so bad before was because he only ate alone and didn't share the cake, which made people jealous.
Now he wants to make a big-budget movie, and he finally wants someone to invest, and everyone in the circle is about to go crazy.
Some directors, in order to attract investment, pretend to be grandchildren in various ways, but they still can't attract investment.
Because he didn't prove himself, no one dared to invest, and everyone was afraid of losing money.
But a director like Xu Nan, who has proven himself, is too easy to attract investment.
He didn't even need to go out to find money, others would rush to give him money.
Even some people are not qualified to send money if they want to, because Xu Nan doesn't want anyone's money.
The most exaggerated thing is that there are still conditions to invest money.
Xu Nan's conditions are very simple, investment is okay, but you can only enjoy box office dividends, and the rest of the income belongs to Summit Film and Television, and you can't interfere in the filming of the movie, everything is up to him.
This kind of unequal treaty, in exchange for someone else, you are thinking about fart, capital will definitely not agree.
But Xu Nan.
Agree decisively.
I'm afraid that Xu Nan won't want their money if it's too late.
These days, Liu Yang is so happy that he almost forgets what year it is.
However, he finally completed the task of pulling investment given to him by Xu Nan.
Soon, Summit Film and Television created the official Weibo account of the movie "Staring Man".
"The superhero movie universe, after "Captain China" and "Spider-Man", Xu Nan's third superhero movie is shocking, and filming will start today."
"Solemnly remind that this movie costs 500 million and will be a special effects blockbuster, please keep looking forward to it."
"@施施."
After the official account Weibo was issued, it attracted many comments from netizens.
"Superhero Cinematic Universe?"
"Starer?"
"Who do I feel sarcastic about this name?"
"If I'm not mistaken, Liu Shishi has a nickname."
"Shhhh
The little lions didn't think about it that much, or deliberately didn't think about it that way.
They were simply happy about the project.
"That's great."
"The movie is about to start, and the money must have been raised."
"Shi Shi is finally going to start acting in movies."
The atmosphere in the circle is very delicate.
Someone couldn't help but speak speechlessly.
"It's not that no one has invested in this movie, why did it get started so quickly."
Soon, knowledgeable people came out to refute the rumors.
"No, how can Xu Nan's movies be uninvested, "The Beginning" is a big hit, and all the movies made before are making money, how can such a successful director lack investment."
"In fact, some time ago, someone said that Xu Nan's movie was outrageous if no one invested in it, but many people believed it."
"I thought it was strange at the time, but I didn't really understand what was going on."
"I still don't understand such a simple thing, someone deliberately set off smoke bombs."
"Yes, some people know in their hearts that this is a fragrant bait and a good project, and there will definitely be competition, so they deliberately look at the decline, release the air balloon, and guide some people who don't know how to give up investment and reduce competition."
"It's so insidious."
"The reality is like this, no one really stupidly believes that Xu Nan's movies are not invested in this kind of nonsense."
Seeing this sentence, many fools who naively believed that no one invested in Xu Nan's movies were silent.
The city routine is deep, and I want to go back to the countryside.
In fact, this is the same as buying groceries.
If you're not interested, you're sure you won't be able to watch it.
On the contrary, it is the kind of people who are picky and say that they are not good and not fresh, and they are the ones who really want to buy vegetables.
The more picky she is, the more she wants to buy.
Many people have already made up their minds to invest, but they still deliberately want to say that this project is not good, and you must not invest, hoping to scare off competitors.
But in fact, many people think so, so there were all kinds of voices in the circle that were not optimistic about Xu Nan's new movie.
When the project is approved and the investment is in place, everyone will find out.
Co-authored me became the fool who was fooled?
October 31st.
The movie "The Great Wall" is about to be released.
"The Beginning" was not screened, but continued to be shown in theaters.
Because this movie has a good reputation and has a certain box office potential, although there are millions of box office left every day now, no matter how small the mosquito is, it is still meat.
"The Great Wall" is not good, the word of mouth is already rotten, and there is no point in continuing to show theaters, it is better to release it as soon as possible and sell it to video websites.
Although the reputation of the results is not as good as "The Beginning", Zhang Yange has not completely given up.
Because there are also overseas markets.
This movie is a Sino-American co-production, and in order to take into account the overseas market, Hollywood actor Matt Damon was specially invited to be the protagonist.
Some netizens criticized that the service of this movie is too Westernized, saying that it is a Chinese fantasy blockbuster, but it is actually Western magic.
Zhang Yange admitted this point, because he had to take into account the overseas market, so he deliberately shot in this direction.
When I designed it this way, I thought that the domestic audience would buy it, but I didn't expect everyone to be very dissatisfied.
But it doesn't matter, there are also overseas markets, and overseas audiences will definitely buy it.
The producer also thinks so: "Although the domestic box office of our film is not as good as expected, the overseas market can look forward to it." ”
"We have invited Hollywood actors for this film, and the aesthetic style is close to overseas, I believe the film company can also see it."
Zhang Yange nodded, and couldn't help but have some anticipation in his heart.
He has reached the top at home, and what he wants to do now is to reach the top overseas.
"The Great Wall" is not as good as "The Beginning" at the domestic box office, but overseas, it will definitely be stronger than "The Beginning".
Overseas filmmakers are here.
But their attitude made Zhang Yange's heart cold.
Because the box office share they ask for is very harsh, and they are the main ones, if they agree to this condition, Zhang Yange will be tantamount to working for the film company.
Zhang Yange was very angry: "This box office share is too low, this is a movie starring Hollywood actor Matt Damon." ”
The attitude of overseas filmmakers is very indifferent: "It is precisely because this film is starring Matt Damon that we are willing to take the risk of releasing it. ”
Zhang Yange held back his anger: "No matter what, we absolutely can't accept this share." ”
The attitude of overseas filmmakers is very tough: "It's okay, you can think about it, I still have something to do, I want to go to Summit Film and Television to meet Director Xu Nan." ”
Zhang Yange noticed the information revealed in the overseas film businessman's words, and was immediately shocked.
"You're going to find Xu Nan?"
Overseas filmmakers nodded: "Of course, don't you know that Xu Nan is a well-known director in the United States, his "Area 51" box office has exceeded one billion US dollars, and his "Titanic 2" is world-famous, I must get the distribution rights of his new movie." ”
The producer next to him slapped his thigh hard.
How did you forget about this stubble?
Xu Nan is more well-known overseas than at home.
Zhang Yange was angry and anxious, and I not only lost to Xu Nan in China, but also not as good as him overseas.
It feels like all these years have been in vain.
