075 In the face of Huayi, shout a high price first
When Guo Zhaosheng repeatedly confirmed that what He Fang said was true, he suddenly coaxed, this is too big. The main reason is that He Fang also told him that he was not sure of returning to his original cost, and asked him not to participate, but just joking with him.
However, He Fang also told him that if he wanted to see Cameron, he would come to Changsha on the 26th.
Time flies quickly, and the scenery and preparation of "People in Embarrassment" are no longer urgent, like the editing of "Single Zoo", He Fang only watched it once.
Now he is working the script of "Pacific Rim", of course, he has to change some unreasonable and slotted shortcomings in it.
This is a typical monster fighting movie, what is the difference between it and Ultraman? One is anime and the other is live-action.
But even if everyone knows that this is a routine, it doesn't affect its ability to sell well, think about it in another time and space, this movie also sold four or five billion dollars at the box office, and also made a second one, which shows that there is still a market.
It's just that the producer's purpose of making money at that time was too obvious, and he was too careless in terms of production, so he pulled his crotch in the later stage.
However, this does not affect who wants to shoot it, now that you know the audience's complaints about it, how can you not avoid these slots when you shoot it again?
"Fighting monsters in mechs? This...... The story is ...... Routine, are you sure this movie will have a box office? ”
When He Fang showed the script to the senior management of Huying, Gu Yang asked with some doubts.
Similarly, Huang Ke, He Ben, Wang Tiejun and others present also deeply agreed with Gu Yang's words, and they still thought that why Fang wanted to come up with a big story with a big brain hole, and the result was a movie about fighting monsters.
"Ha, Secretary Gu, it seems that this story is bloody, but it can't stand the maturity of the routine, and the audience likes it. Just like Ultraman, don't kids know that its next episode is still to fight monsters? It's like "Far Cry", the audience doesn't know that this is a routine movie? And the audience of "Transformers" doesn't know that the next one is still a war of a few car robots? This kind of movie doesn't care whether the story is routine or not, but whether the visual feast can get the audience's adrenaline soaring, as long as the audience is enthusiastic and shocked by the special effects picture, then everything is easy to say. Popcorn movies, not all like that. ”
After He Fang finished speaking, Secretary Gu immediately smiled, and he waved his hand.
"I don't think there's anything wrong with what He Fang said, we don't want to talk about any artistic value, if we want to make money, we have to be commercial. Of course, it would be nice to have art in business. ”
Huang Ke also nodded, "I think He Fang will do a good job, "Far Cry" is very commercial, but "Single Zoo" is very literary, and the upcoming "People in Embarrassment" has a balance between business and literature. This proves that He Fang is very good at what kind of movies and what kind of techniques, so we don't have to worry about this. Besides, how can you recover the cost of investing in such a big movie without commercialization? ”
With the support of the two bigwigs, the others didn't say anything, after all, who paid for it themselves.
"By the way, why did you say that the actual investment in this movie is up to 600 million, then our Huying accounts for 30% of the shares of Tuanhuo Culture, and if we should follow the rules, we will invest in it. Don't be afraid of wolves and tigers, how can there be a company that only makes money and doesn't invest, although Huying Group is poor, it still has the courage to do things. ”
Gu Yang made a decision, and as soon as his voice fell, everyone present was stunned, but the people in Huying understood again, but he was a little stressed.
"Don't, Secretary Gu, if you want this, I'll be under pressure. I don't have any pressure to vote for me, I lose if I lose, I don't care, I don't have responsibility. If you let Lake Shadow vote too, if I lose and not be coldly looked at by Lake Shadow's members every day, I can't afford it. ”
"Hey, where, what are you talking about? Is this just the amount of money that we have lost in Huying over the years? You are a child of Huying, and you don't know the situation, so don't say these words. I think it's decided, what do you think? After Secretary Gu finished speaking, he looked at the people in the lake shadow.
No matter how strong he is, he still needs democracy, and he can't talk about it.
"I support Secretary Gu's statement." Huang Ke was the first to say that as the second-in-command of the group, he should unite with the first-in-command at a critical moment.
Besides, now He Fang may be the hope for the rise of the Lake Film Group, and he can't chill He Fang's heart and let He Fang have an opinion on him.
He Fang is not a member of the group, and there is no threat to him Huang Ke, only help, why should he be a bad guy?
With Huang Ke's first echo, it is even less likely that others will object.
So this resolution was reached so happily, but He Fang looked solemn, this pressure is great.
However, now it is no longer his turn to say any more pressure, he has to go to the capital immediately to pick up Cameron and his party to fly to Zhangjiajie.
In the past two days, Cameron and his entourage have occupied a lot of topics in the entertainment news.
When He Fang and Wang Tiejun, the representative of Huying Group, went to the capital to connect with Cameron's team, the leaders of China Film were very surprised by He Fang, a young man.
"Who are you? Tsk, young and promising, China's film industry is one of the few overseas returnees. Chinese films need people like you who have studied abroad to return to China to bring new ideas and new situations to the film industry. I watched your "Far Cry", and it was really good......"
He Fang didn't know that Han Sanping was so eloquent, and this was the first time they met, so he pulled He Fang to talk a lot.
even talked about where to cooperate with a new movie, investment, publicity and distribution.
Where are you confused, so enthusiastic?
Of course, he can only humbly promise all the way.
"Director He, yesterday Cameron said that he wanted to cooperate with you on a 3D sci-fi blockbuster? Is it true? ”
I don't know when Wang Zhonglei was also mixed in the crowd, and he immediately came over to ask him when he was free.
Now who understands why Han Sanping is so enthusiastic, is this the co-author?
This kind of film Lake Film Group is still considering risks, and He is also trying to find a way to return to the cost, but what others see is the effect of transnational cooperation.
"There is such a thing, why, Huayi has an idea? The total investment is more than 800 million, do you dare to invest? ”
In the face of Huayi's non-premium, how to do it, first shout 800 million.
"Hey, so much? More than 100 million dollars? Wang Zhonglei was also taken aback, which is more terrifying than the production cost of hundreds of millions of dollars shouted by the three major domestic directors at every turn.
"Yes, it's because the investment is big and risky, so I didn't tell you before, I'm afraid you can't afford it." He Fang stimulated.
"Then you can afford to play?" Wang Zhonglei asked rhetorically.
"Yes, Xiao Wang can't doubt the financial resources and determination of the entire radio and television in HUN Province, right? What does it mean to concentrate on doing great things? This is something that private enterprises do not have. ”
"Hey, this ......"
"Mr. Xiao Wang, you can just listen to this, for you the investment is not worth it, next time we have a project and then cooperate." Okay, I won't talk to you in detail today, we have to go, keep in touch. ”
He Fang didn't give Xiao Wang a chance to talk more, and then he got out of the hotel with Cameron, who had already packed his luggage, and got on the bus to the airport.
"Mr. Wang, did you ask? Is it true? Han Sanping watched the convoy go away and asked Wang Zhonglei beside him.
"I asked, saying that it was an investment of 800 million, and we were not allowed to participate in Huayi, saying that they could afford Hunan Radio and Television, which seems to be true."
When Han Sanping heard this, he narrowed his eyes. Zhongying just pressed down an upper shadow earlier, and now another lake shadow has appeared?
