Although as an audience member, Zhou Dongsheng had been known for a long time by the widely circulated names such as Cyber Daji and Alchemy Master in front of him, but due to the addition of his own variable, the world line had obviously changed slightly.
If it weren't for his coincidental series of actions, which happened to hit the point, and what happened in reality just confirmed what he said, Lao Wang would start to shrink his front in advance and avoid some risks...
Then Lao Wang would not go out of his way to give him his investment share in the "Wandering Earth" project as a thank you gift.
And Yida's crisis is inherently frozen. Even if such a business empire shows the determination of a strong man to cut off his wrist, it is obviously impossible to turn the crisis into disaster easily, not to mention that it involves all aspects of things.
Even so, the weight of this favor obviously cannot be equated with this thank you gift, it is just a simple reciprocity of courtesy.
After all, so-called human debts are never meant to be repaid, and the best way to do business is to repay more and more, and the friendship will naturally become deeper and deeper.
Always thinking about being debt-free and being light-hearted, and fearing being burdened by favors, it is often difficult to gain a foothold in the fame and fortune market. The so-called people who are good at dancing are generally proficient in this way.
Needless to say, Lao Wang is undoubtedly the best among them.
However, it was precisely for this reason that changes occurred on the world line. The original withdrawal of Yida caused a series of chain reactions, causing the entire "Wandering Earth" project to face huge difficulties.
For this reason, Guo Fan, as a director, was forced into a desperate situation. Guo Dao Longchang realized the Tao, mastered the true meaning of fate, activated the bond of his alms master, and also met Master Wu, who was at the height of his power at that time...
The two met their opponents, met talented people, and cherished each other, so that the "Wandering Earth" project was able to survive and start again...
But now that Zhou Dongsheng has taken over, resolved the crisis in advance, and fundamentally eliminated the origin of the chain reaction chain, there is naturally no way for this matter to develop.
Now, Zhou Dongsheng naturally wants to make up for this chain reaction process, and at least ensure that the entire project will sail on the established track.
In this matter, it is obvious that no one is more suitable to play the role of matchmaker than Zhou Dongsheng. As long as this "destined encounter" is successfully triggered, there will be no deviation in history...
…Bar?
Not to mention, this wonderful feeling that seems to be able to control the world line makes Zhou Dongsheng somewhat happy, as if everything is under control, and there is indeed an indescribable pleasure.
After receiving the investment share donated by Yida, plus Zhou Dongsheng's original capital injection, the two combined, the investment amounted to nearly 200 million, accounting for more than half of the entire film.
Today, Zhou Dongsheng has unknowingly become the largest investor in the movie "The Wandering Earth".
Therefore, Director Guo cannot help but be careless. If even Zhou Dongsheng, the financial backer who takes over the project, chooses to give up the project, then this painstaking work that he has poured countless efforts into will really become obsolete.
So after receiving Zhou Dongsheng's invitation, he rushed over almost non-stop, but he didn't expect that it would be such a good thing, which really made Director Guo a little overjoyed.
After arriving at the place, Zhou Dongsheng took a quick look and saw that all the good guys were familiar faces. Even if they had no friendship, they had basically met them before.
And when Zhou Dongsheng walked leisurely into the hall, he instantly became the focus of everyone's eyes. After all, with Zhou Dongsheng's current weight, even in this celebration banquet where stars gathered and there was a lot of capital, he was definitely the center of attention.
The handful of people at the top.
What's more, the unprecedented success of the movie "Wolf Warrior 2" now has Zhou Dongsheng's strong contribution to the military medal.
For this reason, someone immediately came up to him with a glass of wine and said politely: "Dr. Jay, I have admired you for a long time! If we have a chance to work together next time! This is my business card!"
Zhou Dongsheng took the business card and scanned it, not paying attention to the company name. He just glanced at the last name, and a bright smile appeared on his face.
"It turns out to be Mr. Huang! I have admired Mr. Huang for a long time, and I have long wanted to find an opportunity to get to know Mr. Huang..." Zhou Dongsheng was already proficient in business bragging, and he would brag with his eyes closed.
Mr. Huang was somewhat flattered. He didn't expect Zhou Dongsheng to be so easy to talk to. The smile on his face became brighter. Before he could speak, Zhou Dongsheng changed the subject.
"It's great cooperation. We don't have to wait until next time. As the saying goes, it's better to choose the day than to hit it. I just have a movie in my hand..."
"It is definitely a big production. I alone accounted for 200 million in investment. You must know that the cost of "Wolf Warrior 2" is only this amount. If I hadn't hit it off with Mr. Huang, I wouldn't have revealed it casually...
…”
Zhou Dongsheng said mysteriously.
Of course, Mr. Huang is not a three-year-old child, but since Zhou Dongsheng said so, Mr. Huang naturally climbed up the pole with an unpretentious and overjoyed expression.
"It's a good relationship. Director Jay Chou's ruthless investment vision in the industry has long been known to everyone. The movie you like will definitely be a guaranteed profit-making project. I don't know what the subject is..."
Even if he has doubts in his heart, a movie that can make Zhou Dongsheng say that he invested 200 million yuan is indeed a big production.
"Science fiction, a movie that can open the door to Chinese science fiction movies, how about it? Is it interesting to have Mr. Huang with such a big project?"
Zhou Dongsheng put his arms around Mr. Huang very enthusiastically, waved his hand, scolded Fang Qiu impassionedly, and then raised his hand and fed Mr. Huang a piece of cake to his mouth.
The smile on Mr. Huang's face suddenly froze, but out of sympathy, he still showed an awkward but polite smile, and then asked out of politeness: "Okay! I really admire Chairman Zhou's lofty ambitions. Such a goal
It’s a grand movie, I wonder who will direct it?”
"If we join forces with Director Wu, then I believe we have the potential to open up the future..."
After all, he was the one who took the initiative to talk. Mr. Huang followed Zhou Dongsheng's words. Although science fiction is very unpopular in the Chinese film market and is a very hard nut to crack, this is undoubtedly the fact.
But before Master Wu, no military-themed movie could reach the heights of "Wolf Warrior 2" today.
The fact that Zhu Yu is ahead of others is enough to prove that Master Wu's current box office appeal is definitely at a unique level.
Therefore, if Zhou Dongsheng joins forces with Master Wu again to challenge domestic science fiction themes... with this gimmick alone, the guaranteed box office will not be far behind.
Thinking of this, Mr. Huang couldn't help but feel excited. He thought it was just a courtesy, but he didn't expect that it would actually start. This is indeed a big project. I didn't expect that Director Jay would be so sincere...
However, before Mr. Huang could finish being moved, Zhou Dongsheng couldn't help but shook his head and pointed at the unattractive Guo Fan standing aside. Guo Fan couldn't help but reveal a harmless smile and waved.
"No, he is the director. Let me introduce you to Director Guo. He has directed two movies before. I believe that Mr. Huang, as an insider, has heard about it. His last film "My Deskmate" also won the grand prize.
He has unlimited potential. I am very optimistic about his future. He is definitely a future star no less than Director Wu..."
At this time, most of the smile on Mr. Huang's face suddenly disappeared, leaving only a trace of polite smile. He nodded towards Guo Fan, and then said politely: "Okay! Very good. Director Jay is indeed very courageous. We
I’ll contact you later, someone called me over there, I’ll excuse you for a moment…”
Although it is true that you want to make friends with Zhou Dongsheng, there is obviously no need to waste real money to show your sincerity, right?
Are you kidding me? If Director Wu, who is currently in the limelight, wants to challenge the hard nut of domestic science fiction, there may be a glimmer of hope.
But why should a little-known director, whose last film directed a campus romance theme, challenge the mountain of domestic science fiction?
Everyone who heard this had to shake their heads. Even Mr. Huang couldn't help but wonder in his heart that this might be another tricky project under the guise. This kind of thing is not uncommon in the industry.
Unexpectedly, Zhou Dongsheng had already learned this kind of trick just after entering the house. He would not participate in such a muddy water.
Anyway, we have said hello, and we will talk about cooperation if we have the opportunity in the future. As for opening the door to Chinese science fiction movies... Huang Zongquan regarded it as Zhou Dongsheng's joke and didn't take it to heart at all.
Zhou Dongsheng didn't take it seriously, but he still had some unfinished thoughts. On the contrary, Director Guo on the side was dumbfounded. Seeing Zhou Dongsheng open his mouth, he pushed open the door of Chinese science fiction movies...
For a moment, a subtle feeling seemed to emerge from Director Guo's heart.
"Hey, Mr. Huang is really ignorant. It's okay, Director Guo. Let's not lose heart..." Zhou Dongsheng said carelessly, taking advantage of the situation and even hooking up with Director Guo.
Although they are more than a round behind each other in age, the way of life in this world is not based on age, but on seniority.
As Zhou Dongsheng is the largest financial backer, there is no doubt that he is the boss.
"It's okay, Director Jay. Since I have chosen this path, it means that I already know how difficult it is to walk, but someone has to do it..." Director Guo said seriously.
Without this persistence, he would not have chosen to advance the funds out of his own pocket at the beginning. He would have spent millions and brought his friends with him to polish the world view and many details of the film. He also consulted experts from all walks of life.
Strive to truly restore the story background of the movie...
Perhaps it was precisely because of his persistence in detailing and his drive that he won the opportunity to direct this masterpiece.
After all, even if this project has a high probability of being a failure, not everyone is qualified to do a project that starts with an investment of 200 million yuan.
"Well said! Where there is a will, there is a way. Even if the film fails, it is still better than if no one makes the film. I can still afford a loss of 200 million. Quan should plant a science fiction seed for the Chinese film market. After all,
One day it will take root and sprout..."
Zhou Dongsheng happily poured a bowl of chicken soup for Director Guo, and the two of them couldn't help but smile sympathetically, which seemed like they shared the same goals.
"I've heard about Jay Chou for a long time, but it's really extraordinary when I see him today. He actually has such courage and ideological consciousness. It's not bad, not bad. Only if there are more people with lofty ideals like this can Chinese movies have a future..."
However, before the two of them could continue chatting with each other, a powerful voice suddenly came from behind, and the two of them couldn't help but turn around and look at each other.
I saw Master Wu following a gray-haired old man with a smile on his face. There was a smile in his eyes behind his glasses, and he did not hide his appreciation. He couldn't help but smile and nod to Zhou Dongsheng's eyes.
Guo Fan recognized the old man at a glance and immediately showed sincere respect and went to greet him. Before Director Guo could speak, the old man patted Director Guo on the shoulder and turned to Master Wu in an arrogant manner.
"I didn't expect Xiao Guo to be here too. Xiao Guo is also a good person. I knew it would be a good idea to leave this movie to him. You two have time to talk and talk..."
Master Wu, a tough guy who killed everyone on the big screen, was like a good baby in front of this old man, nodding his head in agreement.
After going back and forth, even a fool like Zhou Dongsheng could guess a little bit of the old man's identity, especially the old man's words which directly revealed his identity.
There is no other film and television company besides the national-level film and television companies that can put "The Wandering Earth" in the hands of Director Guo.
And this film and television company often appears in the titles of many movies. Its status in the film industry is almost second only to the film-related department in charge of Longbiao.
To a certain extent, this company is the representative of Chinese movies. Just its name starting with the national title says everything.
Therefore, the identity of the person in front of him was naturally obvious.
Regardless of whether it is "Wolf Warrior 2" or "The Wandering Earth", in addition to personal efforts, official promotion undoubtedly played a crucial role in its success.
After all, among the three elements of "the right time, right place, right people", to a certain extent, the first two are dependent on the official's face, while only the latter is an operable part.
Of course, as a competent authority that shares both prosperity and loss with the film market, it also shoulders the responsibility of promoting the prosperity of the film market. The vast majority of films that can make it to the big screen have this company's active presence behind them.
After all, it is the only film and television company with the largest film output in China.
This is not the first time Zhou Dongsheng has dealt with people in the officialdom, and he has gradually become accustomed to it. Otherwise, the end of business is politics...
When you climb to a certain height in life, you will find that if you want to continue climbing, in addition to physical strength, you also need to choose the right direction.
And to this day, Zhou Dongsheng's series of actions have undoubtedly clearly stated his position...
In the flash of lightning, Zhou Dongsheng's thoughts were whirling. He sorted out his thoughts for a while, and then he was determined.
Then he took the initiative to stretch out his hands and said hello in a neither humble nor condescending manner, "Hello..."
