"Who does this Li Qian look down on!"

In a clubhouse, Huang Zhonglei scolded indignantly, and Teng Huatao next to him drank sullen wine without saying a word.

"Just because of a failure, "Waiting for the Wind" didn't lose money, but it just made less, and he Li Qian was too much, which obviously didn't take you to heart.

I don't have any money, I dare to say that the future film industry has at least 2 billion cash lying on its books, and I don't even bother to make a plausible excuse early, this is too insulting, this is taking you for a fool!"

After leaving Future Pictures, Teng Huatao also reacted that Li Qian was perfunctory and never planned to invest in him.

Li Qian's investment is gone, as for the 200 million penguins he said, Teng Huatao doesn't know if it's prevarication, don't be played by the penguins.

So he directly found Huang Zhongjun, after all, Huang Zhonglei had sworn that Huayang would fully support him in filming "Demon Capital Fortress".

Last time, I went to Future Pictures as soon as I had an idea, but this time I needed investment but came to them first, and under the words of the two brothers of the Huang family, Teng Huatao also said it selectively.

Teng Hua Tao can see what he can see, how can the two old foxes of the Huang family brothers not understand, I am afraid that Li Qian has been perfunctory to him before.

So, Huang Zhonglei scolded loudly, scolding Li Qian for looking down on people, but Teng Huatao only felt a hot pain on his face.

It turned out that it had always been his own wishful thinking, and Li Qian didn't look down on him at all, and he was still catching up.

However, Huang Zhonglei was also helping himself to vent his anger, and Teng Huatao could only drink there.

Seeing that it was almost over, Huang Zhongjun also interrupted his younger brother's scolding, "Okay Zhonglei, Hua Tao, don't be too angry, Li Qian and you and us are not all the way, think about which party they called you, not all the way, there is no need to get together." ”

As soon as Huang Zhongjun said this, Teng Huatao remembered that he seemed to have never stepped into the small group of directors supported by Li Qian and him, at least he had not even participated in a party.

Years later, they had dinner together, and they didn't call themselves.

This thought, Teng Huatao's heart is even more uncomfortable.

"Hua Tao, don't worry, this is Li Qian's lack of vision, the story of "Demon Capital Fortress" can be filmed, I have made all the investments, how much money do you want, let's shoot science fiction films!" Huang Zhongjun gave Teng Huatao a package ticket at the moment, and did not look down on him because of the failure of the previous movie.

No one will fail, compared to a large number of directors who have never succeeded at all, Teng Huatao, the director who created the box office miracle of "Thirty-three Days of Broken Love", Huang Zhongjun is more willing to believe him.

Even if Li Qian was clearly not optimistic and didn't want to invest, it only made Huang Zhongjun have a little doubt, and it did not dispel his importance to Teng Huatao.

The reason for the failure last time has been analyzed by the entire industry, and Li Qian can see it, and many people in the industry can see it.

I don't know how to make films, but it doesn't hinder the analysis of professionals.

The biggest reason for the failure is that the original work of "Waiting for the Wind" is too poor in terms of storytelling, and Teng Huatao himself has no original work to learn from, so he can't tell a 90-minute story.

Many people can see this reason, but no one will say it all, they will only say to Tenghua Tao that the failure is because of the problem of the original work.

As for the evaluation of some professionals on the Internet, Tenghuatao can see it, but it is directly ignored, everyone is unwilling to believe that it is their own problem, and the fault can only be others.

Huang Zhongjun understands many professional analyses in the company, and he has also read the original work of "Magic City Fortress" this time, although he feels that the sci-fi flavor is not enough, but the emotional drama between the male and female protagonists is quite exciting, otherwise it would not have become a bestseller.

As for the lack of sci-fi elements, it's a good thing, otherwise he is worried about whether Teng Huatao can shoot well, it will be too difficult.

Coupled with the original work and Jiang Nan's many fans, it is no worse than Guo Jinming and Han Han.

The adapted movie continues to sell well, science fiction + love is also a good theme, and the best-selling proves that this story is good among young people, making up for Teng Huatao's shortcomings in telling bad stories, and young people are the main force of movie-watching.

It is precisely because of these benefits that even if the discerning Li Qian is not optimistic, Huang Zhongjun also wants to invest.

At least Tenghuatao has proven his ability!

Seeing Huang Zhongjun, he almost patted his chest and handed over the check, compared with Li Qian's attitude, Teng Huatao was also very moved.

He vaguely saw that 15 years ago, Huayang Media at that time was still Huayang Taihe Film and Television, and the first time he invested in his TV series "Eternal Lovers", the young Huang Zhongjun also patted his chest like this, put his shoulder on his shoulder, and called him a brother.

Huang Zhongjun's righteousness touched Teng Huatao, who had just been injured, and he immediately said, "Huang Dong, rest assured, this time "Demon Capital Fortress" will definitely succeed!"

"Haha, that's for sure!"

Huang Zhongjun laughed, raised his glass and touched a glass with Teng Huatao, and drank it all.

......

After Teng Hua left confidently, the smiles on the faces of the two brothers faded slightly.

"Big brother, 300 million, how much do we give?" asked Huang Zhonglei.

With an investment of 300 million yuan and a cycle of three years, of course it is impossible to give out all the money, it is a fool's business.

The cycle is too long, the payment is too slow, unless the box office is sold 2 billion, it is better to take 300 million to buy a house in the capital safely, with the increase in housing prices in the past few years, the rent in three years and the money sold in three years are not less than the box office of 2 billion.

Of course, the income is not only at the box office, otherwise when the market was not so big a few years ago, it would not have made much money, so it was better to be a charter company.

"One hundred million, at least dominant. Huang Zhongjun said, "Zhonglei, you go to find penguins and civets, they should be interested, but don't give them all, at least pull 15 investors for me." ”

Some time ago, there was only a gimmick of $100 million investment in "Asura", Penguin and Ah Tanuki, two big dogs, both invested, and it was not bad at all.

However, we can't let them out too much, we must find more than a dozen more capitals, and divide the remaining 200 million to ensure the dominant position of Huayang Media.

.....

Teng Huatao, the famous director, "Magic City Fortress" is a best-seller, and the sci-fi genre "The Wandering Earth" announced the project before, which has aroused the audience's attention to domestic sci-fi, and soon Huayang Media first reached an investment intention with Penguin and Ah Tanuki.

The two families each contributed 60 million, no more, no less, to ensure that they would do their best to support and not dominate.

After the two companies finalized the cooperation, Huang Zhongjun held a press conference to announce the official establishment of the sci-fi masterpiece "Magic City Fortress".

Domestic sci-fi blockbusters, this brother gimmick alone has made reporters flock to it, and the excitement of the press conference is no less than that of "The Wandering Earth".

In the face of hundreds of eyes, Rao is Teng Huatao, who has already become famous, can not hide his excitement, and talks about his pride and ambition in high spirits.

""Magic City Fortress" is the first time that a domestic film combines science fiction and war, the first time to present a head-on confrontation with alien civilizations, and the first time that future wars take place in China and the magic capital, which is not only a rich enrichment of Chinese science fiction themes, but also a new challenge

"The movie will present the concept of a 'community with a shared future for mankind', and the concept of family and country is actually something that Chinese people attach special importance to, and it is also the feeling that domestic science fiction should have......"

However, compared to the press conference of "The Wandering Earth", the reporters here are not so easy to speak.

"Director Teng, you have only made two love movies in the past, do you think you can make a good science fiction film, and you are not afraid of ruining the original book?"

Teng Huatao is also a director who has been filming for more than ten years, and he is still comfortable coping with it, he smiled and said, "When I was filming "33 Days of Broken Love" a few years ago, someone asked me the same question, 'A director who makes a TV series, who gives you the courage to make a movie?', I think our generation of filmmakers has the responsibility to step out of their comfort zone and develop in a more industrialized direction!"

used his own success history to perfectly counter the doubts of reporters, and at the same time said that what he did was the responsibility of contemporary filmmakers.

Immediately afterwards, Teng Huatao said very sincerely, "Huaguo science fiction has just started, this is a necessary process, I can accumulate some experience for domestic science fiction, I think it is also worth it, I am also willing to be this pioneer, for future generations to overcome obstacles, to find a road that belongs to Chinese science fiction, whether it is successful or not, at any cost!"

Domestic science fiction has a long road, our film industry has just begun, I hope you can support us and accompany us to let domestic films go to a higher technical level and open the door to domestic science fiction!"

"Bang Bang !!"

The reporters did not hesitate to applaud this speech.

However, applause is applause, and the difficulties must continue, after all, reporters make money from this.

I want to eat!

"But Director Teng, director Guo Fan studied and studied in Hollywood for more than two years before he dared to shoot a sci-fi blockbuster before filming "The Wandering Earth", and "Magic City Fortress" was not prepared to rush into the project, are you not afraid that once you fail, you don't dare to invest in the filming of sci-fi blockbusters, and completely trivialize the domestic sci-fi door that has just revealed a trace of the door?"

As soon as these words came out, Teng Huatao's face became a little ugly.

Forget about questioning him, let's compare it with "The Wandering Earth", what about going to Hollywood for two years to study?

However, as soon as he wanted to speak, Huang Zhongjun spoke first.

"I understand this friend's concern very much, and we also take science fiction blockbusters the most seriously, in addition to hiring Hollywood's top team, Director Teng will also be invited to Hollywood to observe and learn. ”

At this time, low-key modesty is the truth.

Huang Zhongjun was also afraid that Teng Huatao, who had just been stimulated, was not in the right mood, so he took his place to deal with reporters.

"Regarding the quality of the movie, please rest assured that in order to create the first domestic sci-fi blockbuster, we Huayang Media have joined forces with many companies at home and abroad to invest 500 million, which will definitely satisfy everyone. ”

"Huang Dong said that the first domestic science fiction is not "The Wandering Earth"?" A reporter keenly discovered the loopholes in his words.

"Actually, as early as 09, when the original book was just published, Director Teng liked it very much after seeing it, and it happened that "Avatar" was released at the end of 09, ravaging the domestic film market.

When we were chatting at that time, Director Teng swore that he would definitely make our own science fiction movies in China, and no longer let Hollywood science fiction conquer cities in China, but because of the lack of experience at that time, I made two romance films to train myself......"

Huang Zhongjun made up a story for Teng Huatao without blushing and heartbeat, and the young director was deeply saddened to see the Hollywood blockbuster killing all sides in China, and was determined to revitalize the domestic science fiction story.

So, I planned to shoot it a few years ago, and I'm preparing, but it's not the first domestic sci-fi blockbuster?

The reporters have changed their opinion of Teng Hua Tao, and they still think that Huayang Media and Teng Hua Tao are following the trend of "The Wandering Earth".

At the moment, the reporters who originally wanted to ask whether they were following the trend also dismissed their ideas.

However, Teng Huatao blushed a little, which made him feel like he was making up a miserable life experience in the talent show.

However, in the face of many eyes and lenses in the audience, he still accepted it calmly.

Huang Zhongjun saw that the effect was so good, and said impassionedly, "I know that many people are not optimistic about domestic science fiction, because the failure last time was not optimistic about Tengdao, because of the performance of the past two years, and Huayang Media is not optimistic."

But from today onwards, we want to take back all this, take back that damn respect, respect for Teng Dao, respect for domestic science fiction and domestic movies!"

Take back that damn respect!

As soon as these words came out, Huayang Media and Tenghuatao seemed to be incarnated as representatives of domestic movies and domestic science fiction.

I don't know why, it may be that many people on the Internet have long borrowed Hollywood and even Japanese and Korean movies to belittle domestic films, which made these reporters in the audience who have been reporting film news suddenly have a feeling of enthusiasm, after all, they are also film practitioners.

......

"Take back that damn respect!"

At the end of the press conference, Teng Huatao continued to recite this sentence silently in his heart.

The failure of "Waiting for the Wind", he endured too many doubts, and too many people said that he should not come to make movies, go back to make your TV series.

From the triumph of "Thirty-three Days of Broken Love" to the full questioning of "Waiting for the Wind", he has not received the respect he deserves in the past period of time.

Including Li Qian, including many people!

"Hua Tao, what's wrong?"

Huang Zhongjun interrupted Teng Huatao's thoughts, "Don't think about what those reporters say, they are just for the news, after so many years, I don't know them, Xiao Gang is not wrong to scold, they are just a bunch of garbage!"

"Don't worry, Huang Dong, I'm not a newcomer anymore. ”

Teng Hua said with a smile, "I'm just thinking, use 100% of my energy to get back the respect that belongs to me!"

Huang Zhongjun was slightly stunned, but he didn't expect that the two sentences he said casually on the spot were used to deal with reporters and the public, and Teng Huatao took it seriously.

So, he also smiled seriously, "Then let's get back that damn respect together!"
