Chapter 525: No one will make a loss-making business(1/2)

"Wu Di, in other words, Mom, I am focusing on investing in your movies, and I also want to make you famous and make your career go smoothly."

"Actually, with these two movies as a foundation, you don't have to be so anxious to make new movies. Taking advantage of this gap, you can shoot magazines, advertisements, and participate in various activities to increase your reputation and make money. Isn't it great?

"

"Don't look at my enthusiasm for Lao Zhang's promise. That's because, with Lao Zhang's popularity and consistent reputation, his new film will receive extremely high attention during the preparation stage. Moreover, even if he gives you

If you leave a role, you won't be the lead actor. There will be someone else leading the lead, who can guarantee the performance and box office."

"So, although I haven't seen Lao Zhang's script yet, I am confident that Lao Zhang's film will at least make a small profit. As for whether it can make a big profit, it depends on the quality of the finished product."

"As for the movie you are talking about, maybe its story is indeed excellent, but as an investor, although I am the boss, I am also responsible to my shareholders. I can't invest in a project that is losing money."

"So, Wu Di, I advise you not to make this film, let alone invest in it."

Wu Di was completely stunned.

He never expected that Ms. Lan would reject him so easily. In fact, there was no room for negotiation at all.

Originally, he was still very confident.

Ramashandi's generosity before gave him the illusion that the tens of millions of investments were taken out just as he was told.

As for Xiao Qi's movies, at best they are just on the verge of reaching tens of millions. For Ms. Lan to come and hand them over to you, isn't this just a matter of waving her hand?

"It seems that I have simplified the problem." Wu Di's voice was full of frustration: "Then I will find someone else."

"Anyway, I will not give up on this movie. I am confident that I will be able to make this movie a success."

After just three sentences, Wu Di's obvious disappointment was right in front of his eyes, but Lanmasanti didn't change his mind.

Instead, she gave him a few steps away with even greater regret.

What can she do?

This movie is literally visible to the naked eye...losing money!

As a shrewd businessman, she couldn't tolerate this.

Moreover, she sincerely believed that Wu Di would not receive much praise if he took over the filming of this movie.

"Actually, this kind of film is not completely hopeless. Country A has independent art film theaters, which are responsible for distributing low-cost films. The categories are also relatively diversified. In particular, they will support some new directors and help them gain popularity.

."

"Unfortunately, the current situation does not allow it."

Wu Di nodded: "I understand, asking you to invest in three movies at once is inherently difficult. In fact, if it weren't for my relationship with Zhang Feng, I would even want to reject Lao Zhang's movie."

"Why?"

"Kid, don't do anything stupid."

"How many people are trying to get a chance to make Lao Zhang's movie, but you're lucky enough to want to give up after it's in your hands."

Lanmasanti only thought that Wu Di was stupid, but Boss Wu himself had another opinion.

"Don't think that I am short-sighted. There is a reason for me to think so. I am worried that Lao Zhang will plot against us."

"How to say?"

"I'm worried that Lao Zhang will dangle a carrot to defraud you of your investment on the pretext of giving me a role. For example, he said he was the starring role, but in fact he didn't have much role."

"Silly boy," Lanmasanti patted Wu Di on the shoulder and said with a smile, "That won't happen."

"Investments don't come in one lump sum, they always have to be cashed out in batches. If they don't give you an important role, or delete your role, what will happen to the subsequent investments?"

"Besides, Lao Zhang and I have had an in-depth conversation. From my experience, he is not that kind of villain."

"Since I promised you a good role, I will take care of you, so just go ahead with confidence."

"Okay, I know."

"In short, even if I accept Lao Zhang's film, I will not give up on this film. This is our hard work. I believe in my vision."

"You keep saying that this is your joint effort, what do you mean?" The two of them had already reached the door, and Lanmasanti was suddenly a little curious.

"You're just an actor, and the movie hasn't started shooting yet, so where is your hard work?"

Wu Di raised his eyes, full of innocence: "Who said I'm just the leading actor?"

"Do you have any other titles?"

Wu Di: "Of course."

"What's hanging up?"

"Co-director, I can name him!"

"I like Xiao Qi's script. One reason is that the story structure is very good and it is my favorite type. The other reason is that I also want to learn directing techniques and co-direct with him."

"Why didn't you tell me earlier?" Ranmasanti said angrily.

"Didn't I just say that?"

"Besides, even if we have a co-director, the two of us are just a grass-roots team working on an experimental work, and the profit may indeed be relatively poor."

"The prospects are not good, so I really don't want to trouble you."

"Who said that?"

Ranmasanti suddenly grabbed his shoulders: "It will be different if I invest!"

Lanmasanti's eyes were so firm that Wu Di was immediately stunned.

"You want to invest?"

"Of course!"

"If you want a director, you should have told me earlier!"

"With this name, the meaning is different."

As a veteran, Lanmasanti certainly has her own theory on investment.

For my own son, I naturally want to give him some guidance.

"If you are just an actor, then for such a low-cost film, to be honest, even if it has a certain box office performance and a good reputation, the bonus is actually not big."

"Because for theatrical movies, whether it's a movie theater or an industry, what matters more is how much box office an actor can bring."

"And it's obvious that your movie, even if you sell it with all your strength, won't achieve particularly impressive results. This is why I objected to investment just now."

This chapter is not over yet, please click on the next page to continue reading! "But, it will be different if you are the director."

"In the industry, the criteria for judging directors should be more diversified. You can be a director who specializes in making commercial films, then you can use the box office to speak. If you are a director of literary films, OK, then you can use the awards

Let’s talk about heroes.”

"For those directors who specialize in making literary films, if you ask them to achieve box office results, it is equivalent to asking for fish in a tree. It is simply impossible."

"But, in the final analysis, although strictly speaking, movies are nothing special and are just a form of entertainment, because since its birth, it has served as a medium that carries the personal pursuits, wills and aesthetic tastes of many film directors.

,So, in modern times, many people are more willing to classify movies as an art category."

"Although the threshold for this art is a little low, this is the current feedback from the market."

"If you become a director, the industry will evaluate you differently. As long as your movie is of good enough quality and has a good reputation, it doesn't matter even if the box office is a little short. It can always attract many big bosses who love art and movies.

Favor.”

"Of course, these are secondary. The most important thing is that as long as you are the director of a work, it can be counted as being in your name."

"After that, there are masterpieces as a director and masterpieces as an actor. Wu Di, at such a young age, your situation is completely opened up!"

"In the future, whether you want to become a full-time actor, study in acting skills, or change your career to a director, it is quite appropriate to start at your current age. If you make the transition early, the label on you will be less. For someone like you

For newbies, this is the best!”

"Very good!"

"Wu Di, I voted for this movie!"

"Don't worry, mom will definitely send you to the path of directing!"

Is this...a deal?

I have to say that Wu Di was shocked by such an instant change. Originally, he was prepared that Ms. Lan would bargain.

After all, no one’s money comes from strong winds, not even Ms. Lan’s. Even if she has money, she cannot spend it aimlessly.

Especially when there is no profit at all.

Moreover, Ms. Lan's initial performance was indeed consistent with Wu Di's guess, and there was nothing unusual about it.

However, unexpectedly, as soon as the word "director" came out, Ramashanti's attitude made a 180-degree turn.

Zheng Zheng became a supporter of Boss Xiao Wu.

Such a surprise came so quickly and suddenly that Wu Di didn't even react until he walked out of the hotel!

According to his initial expectations, if he voted for Maze, he would not be able to vote for Lao Zhang's new movie. If he voted for Lao Zhang's new movie, it would be even more impossible to make money for Maze.

However, he didn't want to give up on Labyrinth or Lao Zhang's movies. People say you can't have your cake and eat it too, but now, Wu Di has also made such a mistake.
