The first thousand six hundred and seventy-ninth chapters die without innovation
Of course normal people would not believe the words of countless white people.
Even countless sentences such as Hu Tian and Wei Xiaolin are just ordinary words of encouragement in the eyes of ordinary people. Anyone who takes them seriously would be a fool. After all, everyone knows that the entertainment industry is no better than other industries in terms of annual resources.
There are only so few stars and directors who can make their mark. It requires not only talent, hard work, but more importantly, luck. Why does it fall on your head?
But to the students at the film school, Sun Peng's words are like a bowl of thick chicken soup.
So young!
Not to mention first-line actors and directors like Hu Tian and Wei Xiaolin, even super bosses like Lao Bai, a few versatile students in the film academy...
Ahem, they really didn't dare to have any ideas.
After all, he is too evil. If he thinks too much, he is irresponsible to his own family.
But one thing is certain, that is, when Lao Bai presented awards to the two students who won the special prize for outstanding graduation works this year, and publicly announced that he would invest in their first film after graduation, everyone's ambitions were ignited.
They both have one head and two hands, who is worse than the other?
Naturally, I have to work hard and become the people that Senior Brother Lao Bai talks about!
Dean Feng was naturally very satisfied with Sun Peng's words on the stage that aroused the students' ambitions, so he had no objection to the fact that he could not hold a special lecture and was unwilling to stay after the award ceremony.
.
Of course, even if he had an opinion, it would be of no use.
However, when sending Sun Peng to the car, Dean Feng still asked cautiously: "Teacher Lao Bai, just now you said... that you want to fund the first commercial film of those two students, is it true?"
"Haha, of course it's true."
The script was about to step into the car door. After hearing Dean Feng's words, Sun Peng took it back and said with a slight smile: "It's only an investment of several million, do I need to joke? In fact, I do too.
Inspired by this award, I decided to organize an award review every year in the future... I will invest in the first commercial film for the first place winner!"
"Ah? Really?"
Dean Feng was really shocked this time, and his eyes lit up instantly.
"Haha, let's tentatively decide on less than 20 million."
After thinking about it for a moment, Sun Peng nodded and said with a smile: "Under normal circumstances, I would choose a certain film company to cooperate... If they perform well, maybe I can make some money."
Sun Peng thinks it is worth spending money to train some outstanding young people.
Although young directors are easy to make mistakes, make films that are too self-centered, and are immature in all aspects, they also have the drive, unconstrained ideas and creativity that mature directors do not have! No need to
Sun Peng felt there was nothing unacceptable about investing 20 million in them.
As for whether it is profit or loss, does it really matter?
It’s only 20 million, which is the level of an independent film these days, and it’s hard to even count it as a small budget. For Sun Peng, this amount of money is not worth mentioning at all. If the performance of the graduates is unexpected, there may be more
Isn’t it wonderful to earn money?
Of course, if you have to invest more, Sun Peng feels that the risk is too great.
No matter how outstanding their performance is, they are still young people in their early twenties, and their chances of success are still small...
So facing Dean Feng's surprise, Sun Peng thought for a while and added: "By the way, I chose not only outstanding graduates from our school, but also from the other two drama schools. I will choose them every year in the future."
Select investment candidates from graduates of the three schools..."
"Ah? You need to bring the other two schools with you?"
After hearing what Sun Peng said, Dean Feng's expression changed again.
But before he could say anything, Sun Peng waved his hand and said with a smile: "It's an investment of tens of millions, of course, we have to select the best students..."
…
"Yeah, another 20 million a year!"
After the car drove out of the school, Liu Chang sighed and said helplessly: "And this can only be regarded as an investment, not a donation... I said, 20 million a year, why not do something? I'll spend it on these fresh graduates.
Do you really think they can make a good commercial film with these students?"
Shrugging his shoulders, Sun Peng chuckled and said: "Why not? Didn't I just film the film right after graduation...well, "War of the Warehouse"? Today's young people are becoming more and more amazing. Who dares to say that they can
no?"
"..."
Rolling his eyes, Liu Chang didn't want to say anything.
Anyway, she has been in this industry for more than 20 years, and she has never seen another person like Lao Bai... No, it should be said that there is not even one even close!
However, there are quite a few people who have shown directing talent at a young age.
Who dares to say that these students are not?
So after thinking about it for a while, Liu Chang felt relieved, and then carefully recorded the matter in his notebook. Anyway, her boss is not good at anything else, and her ability to make money is absolutely top-notch!
And more importantly, Sun Peng doesn’t spend any money!
In addition to being obsessed with movies, animations or games and spending money regardless of risks, I even bought a private jet to make the best use of it. Now it is covered with the portrait of the Chinese captain, and I can fly to any place.
The airport is always a beautiful scenery...
After having a casual meal outside at noon, there was no surprise or excitement in the afternoon meeting with the representative of Heymens Pictures.
The first topic everyone talked about was, of course, "Night at the Museum," which is currently in intensive production. Because Sun Peng provided a perfected script, for Heymens, the story that takes place in a museum naturally does not need to be too long.
Shooting time.
It's just that the early preparation and post-production are a little more troublesome.
Because he has to design a large number of characters and exhibits, and also make them come alive in the later stage, "Night at the Museum" has not been completed until now. If he wants to release it during this year's Christmas season, Hemmens will probably have a headache.
But for Heymens Pictures, it's not a big problem.
The real problem lies in the second topic discussed by everyone, which is the script and protagonist selection of "Pirates of the Caribbean", as well as the control of the overall style!
"The problem now is that everyone is not sure whether a pirate movie can be made like this!"
During the negotiation process, Hemens' representative moderately expressed his concerns: "A pirate leader who plays games with the world, and a group of weird pirates... This is too far from most people's impression of pirates!"
Sun Peng was naturally uncompromising about this and said calmly: "So have you seen any successful pirate movies in recent years? If you don't innovate, this subject will be dead! This "Pirates of the Caribbean" is my work, so
You have to shoot according to my ideas, there is no room for bargaining..."
