In a reception room of Han and Tang Media, Wang Baoqiang and Wang Yibing were waiting anxiously.
Ever since I heard at the banquet after the premiere that Tang An was very interested in Huang Bo's new film and had great willingness to invest in it, Wang Baoqiang immediately found a screenwriter after returning home to make the film almost the same as before.
The script has been polished up.
Although Huang Bo could get the investment, Wang Baoqiang felt that he had no problem, but he was still a little nervous and asked Wang Yibing next to him, "Old Wang, do you think Director Wang will invest?"
Wang Yibing comforted him, "Don't worry. Didn't you find out from Huang Bo last night? Director Tang personally promised him, so you must be fine."
Wang Baoqiang felt a little relieved. He had been paying attention to Huang Bo's movements. He even went to check the news last night. He, Ning Hao and Xu Zheng were the only ones there at that time. Huang Bo also said that Tang An had already
I agreed to invest, but I didn’t say the specifics.
Now actors, writers, and hosts are all starting to make movies, and all of them are big hits, and even have higher box office than many movies by big directors.
Many celebrities in the entertainment industry are interested and are ready to join in and make a lot of money by making movies.
As long as you are famous, there is almost no need to worry about investment.
With Wang Baoqiang's reputation and audience popularity, it is not a problem to get investment, but the quality of investment from different people is also different.
Tang An's investment can maximize the box office, but for ordinary small and medium-sized companies, or even outside capital, it is difficult to say.
If he had to choose between two companies for the same investment, he would definitely choose Tang An.
Wang Baoqiang relaxed a little and asked again, "By the way, Lao Wang, why didn't I see you at the premiere that day? What were you busy with?"
Wang Yibing smiled and said, "I've discussed things with a few investors. I want to help you win a blockbuster film. This year's "Frozen: Gate of Rebirth" failed, which will have some impact."
Wang Baoqiang did not doubt that he was there, and turned to talk about some film contracts with Wang Yibing.
Not long after, Tang An walked into the reception room and planned their conversation.
"Hello, Mr. Tang." The two of them stood up and said hello.
Tang An sat down and greeted, "Everyone, sit down. I heard from the secretary that you have a project to protect the wall?"
Don’t talk nonsense and get straight to the point.
Wang Baoqiang immediately handed over the script and planning book in his hand, "Director Wang, this is the script that Teacher Su and I studied together. It tells a modern version of the Journey to the West story. The Journey to the West theme is very popular now, so I think we should make one
The modern version of Journey to the West should be very popular."
Wang Baoqiang introduced his ideas there, and Tang An smiled and nodded.
The script was written by Wang Baoqiang and Su Huan. Su Huan is also a well-known screenwriter. He wrote the two classic comedy TV series "I Love My Family" and "Superman Sister", as well as the three previous "囧" series.
All with his participation.
The story goes like this: Tang Zong, the president of a large group, suddenly passed away and left a will. His son Tang Sen, accompanied by the poor boy Wu Kong, went to Indu to find the will.
The two met by chance in India the narcissistic but beautiful but loyal Zhu Tianpeng, and the beautiful and sexy but secretive beauty Wu Jing. The four of them went around and formed an alliance, and there were funny stories along the way.
A standard type of road movie, the protagonists are usually two or three people, who have to do something together, but have different personalities. There will be conflicts in the middle, and then they will quarrel, part ways, and then flash back to the happy time together in the past, as if they have realized something.
of.
Then when the villain comes to beat a certain person, another person will jump out of nowhere and join in the fight. Of course, it will be a perfect ending with tears of joy.
Almost all road comedies can fit this template, and comedies are the least likely to read scripts.
Action movies are all about fighting, and comedy movies are all about the jokes.
The most important thing among them is the actors. No matter how good the action design is, the effects produced by different actors will be different.
The same goes for comedy. With the same exaggerated facial expressions, some actors can make the audience laugh, while others can only make people feel embarrassed.
The plot is not important, the actors and director are the most important.
If Wang Baoqiang still casts Bai Ke and Yue Yunpeng, it will definitely not be any better than the original version.
The casting was a big no-no for road movies, as several of the protagonists were all hilarious, and together they would embarrass the audience to death.
What "Havoc in Tianzhu" lacks is not creativity or script, but a comedy star with a different performance style from Wang Baoqiang.
Without actors, even if the character settings are changed, the styles of Bai Ke and Yue Yunpeng are still there, and it will be in vain.
Although it won't be a big hit, it will definitely make money, so it doesn't matter if you invest in it.
However, Tang An still asked some more questions, "Baoqiang, are you ready to make a movie?"
When Wang Baoqiang heard about the play, he said with confidence, "Don't worry, Mr. Tang. Every time I go to a crew in the past two years, I will study and learn from the director about the scheduling of the entire crew, how to make the characters more interesting, and how to speak
What a story. I also learned from the teachers of photography, lighting, and props to make every aspect of the movie flawless."
Tang An nodded noncommittally, asked him some more movie ideas, and finally agreed to invest.
"Let's do this. I'll let someone make a cost estimate first. We're going to Indu for filming. The production cost is 50 to 60 million yuan. I'll pay half of it, and you can invest part of the rest yourself, and then find two companies to join us.
Come in."
Seeing that Tang An agreed immediately, Wang Baoqiang was overjoyed and said quickly, "Thank you, Director Tang. I feel relieved with your half investment."
Everything else is not a problem. As long as Tang Anken invests half of it, Hantang will definitely support his movie vigorously, and it will be more than half of the success.
Stepping from an actor to a director, and then becoming a capital, truly standing at the top of the entire industry is much better than just being an actor.
No matter how awesome an actor is, he is still an actor. Only when he reaches the level of Cheng Long can he truly succeed.
But Cheng Long himself is not just an actor. He has directed and acted in 16 movies so far. He is not just an action director, but a real director.
Moreover, I participated in writing most of the scripts. I am truly an all-round talent in writing, directing, and acting. In addition to producing, I am also a producer.
It can be said that in the entire film and television industry, there are few people who are more versatile than Cheng Long.
If you can't make it to that level, no matter how famous a star you are, it will be nothing in front of big companies.
This time I think about taking this step, becoming a director, becoming a capital, reaching the top of the entertainment industry, and reaching the pinnacle of life. Thinking about Wang Baoqiang makes me excited.
I negotiated for two projects in a row, and both actors came from different fields.
However, the fact that Huang Bo and Wang Baoqiang came to Han and Tang Dynasties one after another was also known by other companies that had been paying attention to the Han and Tang Dynasties. After a little inquiry, they found out that these two popular stars were planning to become directors themselves.
Xu Zheng, Zhao Wei, and Deng Chao have proven that it is possible for actors to become directors. Moreover, Zhao Wei's first movie sold more than 700 million, and Deng Chao also sold more than 600 million. It can be said that it was entirely based on their success. Fame.
However, two writers, Guo Jinming and Han Han, have become successful, and major companies are still very optimistic about famous stars becoming directors.
This time, after learning that the two of them were planning to make a movie, major companies began to take action.
