Chapter 94 Going to Hong Kong
Calculate the time, it has been more than a year since the two of them confirmed their relationship...
It's time to meet the other's parents.
Xiao Luzi is not the kind of scumbag who is irresponsible.
But the time is not good, so he has to go home for the New Year. He thought about it for a while and then said, "Let's do this, after the New Year, I'll visit you!"
"…good!"
Tangtang happily hung up the phone.
Seeing Lu Xiaoran's face strange, Huang Bo asked, "What's wrong?"
"Tangtang's parents said they wanted to see me!"
"…It should have been two years since we met, right?"
“Not that fast…”
"Tsk tsk, are you going to pay homage to your father-in-law and mother-in-law? Are you not nervous?"
"What's so nervous? I'm so likable, it's no problem to settle two middle-aged people!"
All-round Lu, the conditions are here: young, handsome, successful in career, car and house...
He is also dedicated to Tangtang...
Moreover, he does get along well with middle-aged and elderly friends, with sparse piano, chess, calligraphy and painting. If his father-in-law is a bad chess, then he doesn't have to let him go, and see who is more smelly!
Look, it’s not much better than Xu Zha!
What else do you want?
It's just a little worse family relationship than the Qing Emperor, whose parents both died.
But his family is not bad either. His parents are both dual-employed and have their own retirement wages. You don’t need to worry too much...
"...Be careful, the cabbage that I have raised for more than 20 years will definitely be resentful if you give it back!"
"I understand, I'm not a fool... Stop talking about this, Lao Ning, please continue!"
After being interrupted like this, Ning Hao a little forgot where he said: "Where did I... just say?"
"…You talk about Liu Dehua's appreciation of directors who do things down-to-earth..."
"Yes!" Ning Hao continued: "So, you have to tell him the complete shooting plan, including market analysis and publicity plans. He is also very sensitive to the market!"
Lu Xiaoran couldn't help but interrupt: "The market sense of smell is very sensitive? Then what's going on with "Mo Gong"?"
"The Ink Attack", Liu Tianwang's story of holding a girl in his arms rippled in Lu Xiaoran's mind...
Not only did the movie have poor box office, but its reputation was also shattered.
"…Listen to me first," Ning Hao glared at him: "The more detailed the details, the better!"
Huang Bo gave a friendly suggestion: "Actually, if you can convince Jiang Wen to join, Liu Dehua will not be a problem!"
Jiang Wen?
You are really good at giving advice!
"...Where did I know him right away? And he is very expensive? Jiang Wen + Liu Dehua, their salary will be more than 20 million yuan. In addition, production and promotion, if it is not done well, it will be a big production that exceeds 100 million yuan. I am not sure to achieve a box office of 300 million yuan!"
Ning Hao looked at him squintly: "...You are ready to invite Liu Dehua, and you are still thinking about recovering your costs through the box office? You must count on overseas markets, Southeast Asia, Riben..."
"What if Old Liu is so stupid that I think this book is very good and I want to join if I don't have money?"
"Dream! Even if he wants to, what should he do with his group of people? He still has a company to support!"
Ning Hao helped analyze: "Actually, what Lao Huang said is right. If Jiang Wen joins, Emperor Ying will definitely invest. Liu Dehua joins, and Huanya will also invest. With China Film and Ma Ma, how can he raise 100 million yuan? Tsk tsk, you can make a big production at a young age. Your future is unlimited. You will have to cover me at that time!"
“…”
Ignore the joke after that, it makes sense...
Director Lu was very moved!
No director doesn't want to enable big stars, and...
To be honest, the reason why Lu Xiaoran doesn’t want to use Sun Honglei is not only because he doesn’t have enough schedule, but also because his cards are too small. Brother Bo is different. Brother Bo is his own person...
If this were changed to Jiang Wen!
Enough cards!
But he still shook his head firmly: "Don't tempt me, if I mess up such a big production, it will be useless!"
"I'm just giving a suggestion. If you ask the third master what he means, if he thinks it is feasible, you can do it!"
“…but box office?”
"Why do you care about so much? Box office is what you consider? Whether the reputation is good or not, the box office does not matter. The key is whether you want to shoot it!"
"I...I...I...I think about it..."
...
From the bottom of my heart, directors are all trash!
There are directors who are unwilling to spend money, but absolutely few are.
Even the directors of European art films are working tirelessly to mix private goods in the movie: various human bodies revealing the secrets.
In China, if you want to make movies like that, you probably only have the only way to be banned.
Then play big productions, burn money, use the most expensive stars and the best special effects!
Of course, everyone knows that other people’s money is not that easy to get.
If you have too much money, you may also be in trouble.
All investments will point to the final destination of return.
A good filmmaker is also a smart businessman and an excellent mathematician.
He knew that the investment in movies needed to stay in a reasonable range.
Of course, Xiao Luzi is willing to make a blockbuster film. Not to mention the investment of 100 million yuan, he can spend even if he increases ten times!
The problem is here, you have to consider the market and the audience because they have to bear the consequences.
Production + promotion, no matter how you have to get a box office of 200 million to be enough to watch.
He...he was not sure...
But he wanted to try again...
He relayed this psychology to Zeng Guangxian, who smiled exaggeratedly: "Did you forget that you still have overseas achievements?"
"…Stop funny, just like this movie, still count on overseas copyrights? Who will buy it?"
"You underestimated the market demand for Chinese-language movies in recent years. The overseas copyright of "Night Banquet" sold $9 million!"
"They are different in costume dramas! Besides, Brother Huayi likes to brag, but you don't know!"
"... Let me tell you, in the past two years of economic crisis, many film companies in Southeast Asia and Europe have gone bankrupt, but cinemas cannot be empty. Although large Chinese productions are not popular around the world, they are better at small profits and quick turnover, and they can still make money! Liu Dehua has a very good market in Southeast Asia, and Jiang Wen is in Europe... Forget it, the copyright in Southeast Asia alone is enough!"
"Economic crisis?"
Lu Xiaoran was a little confused. Are you sure you are not in the frame of me?
Is there an economic crisis?
"The economic crisis outside has nothing to do with us. Don't worry, anyway, listen to me. If you don't shoot blockbusters now, it will be difficult to get a chance to shoot them in the future! And Jiang Wen just happened to have a schedule, so he likes such movies!"
"...Okay, then please help me ask, I will go to Hong Kong to meet Liu Dehua tomorrow!"
"Apply for a Hong Kong and Macao Pass!"
Lu Xiaoran has already put down the phone...
Since everyone has the same goals, let’s try Jiang Wen. Of course, Lu Xiaoran must go to see him in person...
I have to wait for him to return to Beijing from Hong Kong.
That night, Lu Xiaoran took a bus to Hong Kong. He had to meet Liu Dehua quickly. He originally thought that the daylily would be cold when he was looking for him again in May!
Liu Dehua has a national concert tour this year and is not ready to film at all...
Chapter completed!
