Chapter 30: The Wandering Earth Project

"Wandering with the Earth?"

Several large investors listened to the description of the weekend and started a reverie about it.

Every man has a science fiction dream hidden in his heart.

The brilliant starry sky, the brilliant Milky Way, the ultimate romance in these universes has appeared countless times in the hearts of every young man.

The description of the weekend is full of a certain magic, bringing the thoughts of these big investors into the story of the wandering earth.

When the sun is rapidly aging and expanding, the earth will fall into a desperate situation of being swallowed by the sun at any time, and in order to save themselves, human beings have proposed a plan called "Wandering Earth".

Humanity has done its best to build tens of thousands of planetary engines on the surface of the earth to propel the earth to escape the solar system and find a new home.

Half an hour later, the weekend was over, and several big investors were still immersed in the story of disaster and struggle.

"The Wandering Earth Project!"

Deng Shiquan was the first to come back from his fantasy, looking at the newcomer in his company with blazing eyes, and couldn't help but sigh.

He now regrets that he didn't discover the brilliant talent of the weekend earlier.

"The story is indeed brilliant, but the shooting cost of such a movie must be huge, if it is to be made, how much production cost will it cost?"

At this time, the middle-aged man next to Deng Shiquan also spoke.

"The initial budget is about 300 million."

glanced at the other party over the weekend, according to Deng Shiquan, the middle-aged man's surname is Zhang, and his identity is the chairman of Huaying Group.

Three hundred million.

Hearing this figure, several investors present were in an uproar and were speechless.

Although there has never been a shortage of commercial blockbusters in the Chinese film market in recent years, the number of films that have really invested more than 100 million yuan is also only a handful.

As soon as the weekend is opened, it is a budget of 300 million, even these investors who have seen the world have to admire that the weekend really dares to speak!

Moreover, what I said on the weekend is only the production cost, not the cost of publicity.

Generally speaking, a film with a production cost of 300 million yuan also needs at least one or two hundred million yuan in publicity, and some even have higher publicity costs than the production cost.

The production cost plus the budget required for publicity add up to a minimum of 500 million.

An investment of 500 million yuan, even if it is divided into several investors, is a fund that needs to be carefully considered.

"If you are going to shoot "Ghost Blowing the Lantern 2", I believe that although 500 million is a lot, these people here will definitely be willing to ...... But when it comes to sci-fi, I need to reconsider. ”

"Yes, after all, our money is not blown by the wind, and no one dares to guarantee what will happen to the box office of science fiction movies in the end, and I don't dare to take tens of millions of dollars to use as an experiment for you."

"In the Chinese film market, there have been no successful cases of science fiction movies, which is really too risky."

Among the several investors present, except for Deng Shiquan and the chairman of Huaying Group, they were finally deterred by the boldness of the weekend.

I probably guessed this result in my heart on the weekend, these investors are basically here to make money, and none of them dare to conclude that they can make money when the movie is made, so it is natural that they dare not invest.

Although the funds were not raised, the atmosphere in the VIP room was quite harmonious.

An hour later, when Zhou Zhou and Yang Sisi personally saw these investors off, these people still showed their appreciation for the weekend and praised the weekend for daring to think and do.

Anyway, it's just a few nice words, and they don't have to spend money.

Of course, the harvest is not completely out of the blue.

The boss of the weekend, Deng Shiquan, the chairman of Mangxing Entertainment, said a word to the weekend before leaving.

"If your sci-fi dream can be successfully established, I can invest tens of millions in you at that time, even if you lose, it doesn't matter, it's all your own family anyway."

"By the way, your contract with the company is about to expire...... When will I go back to Puhai, let's come to the company, and let's talk about the renewal of the contract. ”

Deng Shiquan patted the weekend's shoulder as if he were his own nephew.

The meaning of his words, and the weekend also knew in his heart that his tens of millions of investments were probably not for movies, but for the weekend.

As long as he is willing to renew his contract with the company on the weekend, he is willing to spend tens of millions to invest in the weekend.

"Then I'll thank the boss first, and I'll go to the company to report back."

The weekend nodded to Deng Shiquan, he is already very interesting as a boss.

In addition to Deng Shiquan, the chairman of Huaying Group also gave a business card for the weekend.

"The phone number on the business card is my personal number, I'm quite interested in your Wandering Earth project, come back and tell me your specific thoughts."

After taking the business card in flattery on the weekend, he took out a business card of his own and gave it to the other party, and said that he would definitely bother the other party if he had time.

After sending off this group of investors, the celebration banquet basically ended successfully.

On the weekend, Yang Sisi generously prepared red envelopes and hand-made gifts for everyone in the crew, so that they came happily and went back happily.

When Guo Fan went back, because he had more than 10 million in his pocket, he didn't dare to take a taxi back, so he had to call back and ask his wife to pick him up.

"Senior brother, you are too cautious, isn't it just a red envelope."

Lei Jiayin is also a member of the protagonist group, so he naturally received a red envelope, a check for 500,000 yuan.

For a newcomer who has not yet graduated, this red envelope is almost ten times his salary.

However, the Lei family is not bad because of their family background, although 500,000 is a lot, but carrying it in his pocket will not make him frightened, so he is very scoffed at Guo Fan's caution.

Guo Fan didn't bother to pay attention to Lei Jiayin's teasing, it is estimated that Lei Jiayin still thinks that his red envelope is similar to him.

After Guo Fan and Lei Jiayin blew the night breeze on the side of the road for more than half an hour, Guo Fan's wife finally arrived.

"You are really good enough, everyone else drives their own cars to pick up their wives, it's good for you, you still want your wife to pick you up, and you're not afraid of other people's jokes."

After Guo Fan's wife got out of the car, she gave Guo Fan a fierce look.

"Sister-in-law, do you know what I admire most about my senior brother?"

Lei Jiayin drilled into the back row while being close to Guo Fan's wife.

"What do you admire about him?"

Although Guo Fan's wife has a knife mouth, she still asked happily when she heard the Lei family say that she admired her husband.

"I admire him for being so blessed to find a wife like you, sister-in-law!"

"Hahaha, that's, I don't know why I was blinded in the first place, and I recognized your senior brother."

Lei Jiayin's compliment made Guo Fan's wife smile when she heard it, and took the initiative to send Lei Jiayin to the hotel.

On the way back to send Lei Jiayin, Guo Fan's wife also learned that there were red envelopes to take at tonight's celebration banquet, so when she got home, she still boasted that she and Yang Sisi were very good at being good at the weekend.

Of course, it is logical to say how much money Guo Fan's red envelope has.

"The big head is a supporting role, and he has taken 500,000, how can you never be less than him, right?"

Guo Fan is a director who only went to study after graduating from university, and he didn't have much savings after working for a few years in the middle, but after starting a family, he relied on his wife's salary to maintain the family's expenses.

Although his wife has never complained, the relatives in his wife's family often ridicule Guo Fan for not being able to do it and relying on his wife to support him.

"Wife, you sit down first, I told you, don't be scared."

Guo Fan is now finally able to raise his eyebrows in front of his wife, and his whole person has become eyebrows and dancing.

"How much is it, and it can scare me? I haven't let you have any dreams of getting rich, just live a peaceful life. ”

Guo Fan's wife rolled her eyes and said angrily.

"There's 12 million of them."

Hearing his wife's words, Guo Fan couldn't help but blush, he really underestimated his wife too much, so he didn't have the intention to show off, and took out the envelope directly.

"How much?"

Looking at the envelope on the table, Guo Fan's wife almost thought that she had misheard, and looked surprised and incredulous.

"Twelve million, didn't scare you, did you?"

Guo Fan looked at the shocked expression on his wife's face, and couldn't help but feel refreshed in his heart.

He now understands why successful people since ancient times like to return to their hometowns.

"You're not going to be deceived, are you? Twelve million? How can I not see that you are worth so much money? ”

Guo Fan's wife was frightened by this number.

"I've already secretly checked it, and it's really twelve million."

Guo Fan said very surely, but his wife didn't believe it, so she had to call the bank, and after finally confirming the deposit inside, she praised Guo Fan fiercely.

Although Guo Fan feels that his wife is not a person who loves money, money can indeed bring some different things to women.

For example, that night, after seeing many zeros behind the deposit, when the husband and wife were having a small meeting, he obviously felt that his wife's interest was much higher than usual, and even took the initiative to pull him to learn some new postures.

Therefore, Guo Fan is very grateful to the weekend in his heart, and it is the weekend that has re-endowed him with personal value.

Following.

Guo Fan was refreshed and ate the breakfast made by his wife before going to see him on the weekend.

"Yo, why do you look different today than usual, red face."

Weekend glanced at Guo Fan and teased with a smile.

Guo Fan's old face turned red and said, "Maybe it's the harmony of yin and yang!" ”

After laughing out loud and joking a few words on the weekend, we got down to business.

"I'm going to start my own film company, what do you think?"

After finishing speaking, he looked at Guo Fan with great interest on the weekend.

In fact, the plan to set up his own company has already been in place for a long time at the weekend, but his contract with Mangxing has not expired before, so it has not been put on the agenda.

Now that the contract is only half a month, coupled with the success of "Ghost Blowing the Lantern", he has also made a lot of money, and this plan has naturally begun to be implemented.

But now there is money, but there is no manpower.

Guo Fan was stunned for a second, and then quickly reacted.

"This is a good thing, I don't know if your company is still short of people, how about I recommend myself?"

Guo Fan had already made up his mind to follow the weekend, and as soon as he heard that he had set up his own company, he immediately expressed his position.

Moreover, since he set up his own company on the weekend, his plan for his next film, of course, will be produced in the name of the company, and he will definitely hand over the next film to his own people to direct.

So Guo Fan didn't even think about it, so he directly expressed his attitude.

Hearing Guo Fan's words over the weekend, he smiled with satisfaction, it seems that the red envelope yesterday was not given in vain.

Zhou Yu beat Huang Gai, one was willing to fight, the other was willing to suffer, and the two quickly reached an agreement.

Since Guo Fan expressed his attitude, he also revealed a little inside information to him over the weekend.

The name of the next movie is "The Wandering Earth".

Hearing this name, Guo Fan's eyes suddenly became extremely hot.

In Guo Fan's heart, his biggest dream as a director is to be able to make a film that will impress the world with Chinese science fiction movies.

So when he heard that the "Wandering Earth" project was going to be launched this weekend, he almost jumped up on the spot with excitement.

"Boss, I promise you, you will bring all your enthusiasm to make this film."

"Don't get excited, I told you a long time ago, this movie is going to be a long and arduous process."

Zhou Zhou smiled at Guo Fan and asked him to calm down before continuing: "Before the project is established, I plan to let you go to Amei Rika for further study. ”

"Although you have grown a lot during the filming of "Ghost Blowing the Lantern", it is not enough."

"So I'm going to send you to Hollywood to study for a period of time, especially in post-production, Hollywood's industrialization is indeed much more mature than that of Huaxia, you have to learn more and watch more in the past."

The idea of the weekend came to me when I was on the phone with the chairman of Huaying Group last night.

The chairman of Huaying Group revealed to the weekend that Huaxia will exchange a group of cutting-edge directors to study in Ameirika, and I remembered on the weekend that Guo Fan in his previous life completed his transformation after going to Ameirika for further study.

Therefore, it can be seen that this training should still be able to learn something.

So on the weekend, he was not polite, so he asked the chairman of Huaying Group for a place and decided to send Guo Fan out for further study.

"Boss, you're still weird."

When Guo Fan heard that there was such a once-in-a-lifetime opportunity, he was immediately moved, and he was even more determined to mix with the weekend.

As a director, he certainly knows what a rare opportunity it is to be able to go to Hollywood for further study.

I didn't expect that on the first day I joined the company on the weekend, the boss gave me such a big reward, is this the treatment of the company's veterans?

He made up his mind that in the future, if anyone grabbed the position of the first dog leg of his subordinates on the weekend with him, he would be in a hurry.

"Okay, then you go back and get ready, this time it may take a few months."

Weekend smiled, he was very satisfied with Guo Fan's attitude, of course, the most important thing was that he took a fancy to Guo Fan's potential. (End of chapter)
