In order to shoot "Real People", that is, "Surek Balai", Wei Desheng began to brew 16 years ago, during which he continued to write scripts, draw storyboards, shoot dailies, and find investment, but he was repeatedly ridiculed and hit a wall everywhere.

simply filmed "Cape No. 7" first...

"Haijiao No. 7" was a box office hit, and with the copyright income, Wei Desheng became a billionaire and earned NT$150 million.

Before the money was hot, Wei Desheng smashed it all into the filming of the movie "Saidek Balai", and he was still in debt for this...

We all know this!

When the original time and space "Saidek Bale" was promoted, the whole article revolved around the word "money".

If you can't get investment, you can only borrow!

Wei Desheng boasts that he is the most thick-skinned director in the history of Taiwanese cinema, and during the filming period of more than ten months, he hardly stopped borrowing money for a day.

Filming during the day, borrowing money at night; filming at night, borrowing money during the day, whether you know someone or not, make a phone call first, and then talk about it, so that later, Taiwan's business circles all brushed up to block Wei Desheng, and hung up the phone when they heard this name...

When Lao Zhao heard this, he was very moved...

What a good story, a director runs around for his ideals...

I feel like this story will be a big hit when you shoot it!

"We raised a total of NT$700 million..."

Lao Zhao looked at the assistant, and the assistant calculated: "About 150 million yuan!"

"That's high..."

150 million, even if Mengxi is doing now, the production cost of 150 million is a big investment!

You must research the market before investing in production.

"Why can't there be a high investment in making movies?"

Just when Shen Mengxi came in, when he heard this, he asked directly: "But this money is not yours, why do you use other people's money to fulfill your dream?"

"But if I don't shoot, I won't have a chance..."

"Movies are not as important as you think..."

Shen Mengxi waved his hand: "Producer Zhang, Director Wu, we won't accept the release of "Saidek Bale"..."

Why?

"Saidek Bale", on the surface, is a story of the aboriginal people's resistance to aggression, with primitive wildness, it is so refreshing to watch!

In fact, it is very crooked in his bones...

You look at that movie, which portrays a group of cute mountain policemen, elegant governors, poor Japanese victims, and a gentle husband who has spent a lot of shots portraying, an upright policeman Kojima.

A film with the slogan of a true record of national resistance depicts a group of invaders in this way, downplays the real contradiction that caused the aborigines to initiate the Wushe incident, and almost all of the contradictions are embodied in the aborigines' disobedience to the discipline of civilization and their search for true freedom.

Created the tragic hero image of the aborigines?

No, I only saw the glorification of the invaders, because the initiators of the battle in the whole film are aborigines, and from the moment they killed the expedition, the meaning of the invaders' attack was more like revenge, and they unconsciously became famous!

The technique is so delicate and natural, which makes people unconsciously wash the ground and pro-Japan, which has to be shelved at least a boss in the MLM organization!

Just this kind of person, there are still people who boast: a landmark figure in the history of cinema...

Have you seen The Last of the Mohicans, Dances with Wolves, History of the West, and Destruction/Apocalypse?

Wu Yusen looked at Lao Zhao, who wiped his tears, and the latter didn't say a word...

Zhang Jiazhen spoke: "Mr. Shen, Cai Lan asked Run Run Shaw back then, we have made forty movies that make money, how about making one that does not make money in the forty-first one, Run Run Shaw said that the forty-first one is better to make money, Cai Lan smiled bitterly, and then Shaw Brothers went out of business..."

"Yes, we can make movies that don't make money, if I like them!"

Shen Mengxi waved his hand: "Saidek Bale, I don't like it!"

......

To mature is to truly realize that you are not at the center of the universe.

Don't fool people with your own ideals.

Like Wei Desheng, who has repeatedly tested the patience of investors with so-called idealism, he knows without analysis that he is the kind of creator who cares more about his reputation than for investors!

There are always some rules in every industry, and no matter how bad it is, as a financier, you must always see that the people being invested are really responsible for them, at least their money.

Some people say that the capital market is not the head of the world! There is no need for everyone who has an independent will to bow to the capital market. The capital market, with you and without you, the earth will rotate.

That's right!

Then you can use your own money to achieve your dreams!

took other people's money, but felt that you deserved it...

I have done a good thing by using your money to achieve my ideals!

Investors are also human beings, even if they spend money for the pursuit of art, they must be comfortable!

Investors are not afraid of losing money to make good films, so a director like Wei Desheng can raise hundreds of millions of Taiwan dollars to help him realize his dream.

Therefore, the starting capital of NT$300 million has been obtained!

Investors have supported countless times, and you continue to increase your weight, why should others use their net worth to play with you?

Let's spread out the words and say, the box office is good, you Wei Desheng is a hero and has a reputation, and investors can collect money later; if the box office is not good, what can you use to compensate investors for what they have lost?

The cost of 150 million is not a small amount of money.

Counting on the Taiwanese market to recoup costs?

Is it possible?

Even if you put it in Chinese mainland, it is not a small budget!

When any movie is promoted, not to mention the movie itself, but to talk about the difficulty, the director who is quite tragic and heroic, is actually putting gold on his face...

......

Shen Mengxi said everything, and Zhang Jiazhen and his party left...

In the original time and space, it seems that Wanda took over the task of publishing "Saidek Bale".

The final box office was 16 million...

It's bleak!

How bad is it?

Wanda's own theaters are reluctant to schedule films!

Shen Mengxi also left the living room and prepared to go back to the office.

Lao Zhao also went out, and reported his work by the way: "After the launch of "Leisure Inn", the ratings were around 3%, which is a phenomenal variety show..."

"That's good... Any questions?"

"This model is so easy to imitate, and other satellite TV stations have set up similar programs..."

“... That's right. ”

"Leisure Inn" is a group of celebrities who live in a place and feel the poetry of pastoral life...

Small talk, breaking some 'insider'...

Scripted... Or rather, there is a scripted guide.

Otherwise, what's the point of a group of guests sitting dry, each playing with their mobile phones?

Shen Mengxi waved his hand: "It's okay, this show is to fight for guests, let Yifei and Yang Xiaomi stay in the next season, and then match a host who can cook and have the ability to guide, and live together!"

"The rights sales of "The Voice" are doing very well, and in the United States, CBS TV offered $40 million to buy out the rights!"

“... You get them to get in touch with Fox and ABC and shop around... Don't worry you can't sell. ”

"The Golden Rooster Award the day after tomorrow... Shall we go?"

Shen Mengxi didn't think about it, and said directly: "Don't go..."
