Chapter 916 New Movie: Science Fiction (Daily Update 12,000~)
This year Han Heping was officially transferred from Emei Film Studio to Yanjing Film Studio as deputy director!
However, Wu Jianye had been busy with his own affairs before, so he didn't have time to celebrate Han Heping. Tonight, he just had time to make an appointment with Han Heping, and by the way, he called Huang Jianxin out, which can be regarded as a celebration for Han Heping!
When Han Heping and Huang Jianxin were studying at the film school, they were both students of Wu Jianye. Later, Wu Jianye recruited Huang Jianxin to Tangting Culture, while Han Heping stayed at Emei Film Studio.
"Director of the factory, congratulations!" Wu Jianye said with a smile.
Han Heping also had a proud look on his face. It could be seen that he was still very happy. Although it seemed that he had been downgraded from the director of Emei Film Studio to the deputy director of Yan Film Studio, the relationship between Yan Film Studio and Emei Film Studio seemed to be downgraded.
Compared with the studio, it is a level higher. Now for Han Heping, it is considered average, but the meaning is different.
In the past, at Emei Film Studio, things were just like that when you were promoted to the top, but now that Han Heping has come to Yan Film Studio, the road in front of him is instantly wider and he has more choices.
In fact, the same is true for Han Heping, deputy director, director, China Film...
"Teacher Wu, please stop making fun of me. When you come to Yanjing, you are coming to your territory. Our two families will have more cooperation in the future!" Han Heping said with a smile.
It was when he came to Yanjing that Han Heping became more aware of the importance of Tangting culture in the country.
Although this is just a private entertainment company, the resources in hand are even more than those of Yanying Factory at this time. The most important thing is that Wu Jianye has money in his hands, much richer than Yanying Factory, so Han Heping came
After arriving in Yanjing, the first alliance that came to mind was Wu Jianye.
Wu Jianye also had a smile on his face, "No problem, if you need anything in the future, just ask as soon as possible!"
Wu Jianye also admires Han Heping very much. Coupled with Han Heping's subsequent development, Wu Jianye must support Han Heping whether it is public or private!
Han Heping was not polite and said: "Not later, Teacher Wu, I have something to discuss with you now!"
Wu Jianye said: "Don't worry, let's order food first and chat while eating!"
After saying that, Wu Jianye asked the waiter to hand the menu to Han Heping, "Order first, and we'll talk later!"
Han Heping: "Then I'm welcome. I've long heard that people in the Yanjing circle like to come here. It just so happens that I want to try their craftsmanship today!"
After saying that, Han Heping directly ordered some of the most expensive dishes here.
When the waiter went down to prepare the food and drinks, Wu Jianye looked at Han Heping's anxious look, smiled and said, "Okay, let's talk about it, what are your plans?"
Han Heping chuckled and said, "Teacher Wu, do you have any plans for your new movie now?"
Wu Jianye replied: "It's pretty obvious, why do you want Yan Film Studio to get involved?"
When Han Heping asked about the status of his new movie, Wu Jianye thought of Han Heping's idea. Whose movie is the most profitable movie in China now?
Naturally, it’s Wu Jianye’s movie. Since Wu Jianye’s debut, none of his movies have made money. The most important thing is that when Wu Jianye hadn’t gone to Hollywood, he had always worked with China Film.
Investing in new films of its own, sometimes involving other studios.
However, with the establishment of Hengdian Film and Television City, coupled with the sufficient financial support of Tangting Culture, the leading equipment in the country, and the establishment of special effects companies, etc., after Wu Jianye returned from Hollywood, he shot two consecutive movies "Chu".
"The World of Stars" and "Eternal Night" which has not yet been released are both independently invested and filmed by Tangting Culture.
Domestic studios have always wanted to cooperate with Tangting Culture, but Tangting Culture has never agreed. Now that Han Heping has taken office, he naturally hopes to win the cooperation with Tangting Culture. If Yanying Studio can invest in Wu Jianye to take over
If the new movie is released, then for Han Heping, it means that he has established a firm foothold in Yanying Studio!
Sure enough, as Wu Jianye thought, Han Heping nodded seriously and said: "Yes, Teacher Wu, I do have this idea. Although Yanying Factory is not as good as Tangting Culture's hardware equipment, Yanying Factory also has
My own advantages, first of all, Yan Film Studio has its own distribution channels, and you can cooperate with Fengge Cinema to release your new movie. Also, the influence of Yan Film Studio is always there. I believe that Tangting Culture and Yan Film Studio
Cooperation is definitely a win-win situation..."
When talking about cooperation, Han Heping talked eloquently and expanded the advantages of Yan Film Studio several times.
Wu Jianye didn't speak the whole time, just watching Han Heping speak. It wasn't until the waiter started serving the dishes that Han Heping finished speaking.
"Let's chat while we eat!" Wu Jianye said with a smile.
Han Heping's mouth felt a little dry as he spoke. He took a sip of beer and said, "Teacher Wu, don't just tell me, please give me an attitude!"
Wu Jianye knew that if he didn't give Han Heping an accurate answer on this matter, he wouldn't let himself stop eating this meal, so he put down his chopsticks and preached seriously.
"In principle, I do not object to cooperation with Yanying Factory, especially now that you are still the deputy director of Yanying Factory. Even if it is to support your work, I have no objection, but there are two things you must be prepared for.
!”
Han Heping was a little moved when he heard what Wu Jianye said. Everyone was hanging out in this circle. He just mentioned so many benefits of Yanying Factory, but he knew that the advantages of Yanying Factory he just mentioned were of great significance to him.
In terms of Tangting Culture, it is not very attractive. If Yanying Factory at this time was the afternoon sun, then Tangting Culture is now the noon sun.
And the sun this afternoon is still the sun during cloudy days...
To really ask Wu Jianye to allow Yan Film Studio to participate in investing in Wu Jianye's new movie, it still depends on the relationship between the two. Now Wu Jianye said frankly that because he can allow Yan Film Studio to participate in Wu Jianye's new movie,
Han Heping was naturally very moved.
"Teacher Wu, please tell me straight. As long as you can get Yan Film Studio to invest in your new movie, let alone two things, we have no objection to even ten things!"
Wu Jianye chuckled and said, "Don't agree in a hurry. You can decide after I finish speaking, or you can discuss it with the people in the factory after you go back."
Han Heping said: "Say it!"
"The first thing is that the movie "Eternal Night" is a little different from my previous movies. I'm not sure whether it will be a box office success!" Wu Jianye said slowly.
As his first original film, Wu Jianye really has no way to be sure whether this film will be successful. The only thing Wu Jianye is sure about now is that this film will definitely give a great visual impact to the domestic audience.
It has impact, but in terms of the story, he has no confidence in whether the domestic audience will buy it or not, so he can only wait until the movie is released to make sure.
As for why I am talking about this movie, it is because in the film industry, the only benchmark to measure whether a director is an excellent director is whether the movie can create greater benefits.
The interests here include movie box office and video market revenue.
Don’t even think about the income from video tapes in China. All cultural workers are still eager to eat their flesh and drink their blood... piracy!
As for the overseas box office, whether the Xianxia movie can be recognized by audiences outside Southeast Asia is also an uncertain question.
If a movie cannot bring benefits to investors, then the director of this movie will also be demoted, and fewer investors will be attracted.
In particular, Wu Jianye's "Eternal Night" invested nearly 200 million. If such a huge investment really failed, I believe that except for Wu Jianye, it would be an injury that no director in the country could bear.
Wu Jianye said this to make Han Heping think carefully, because if his movie "Eternal Night" fails, Yan Film Studio will definitely have to re-evaluate whether to invest in his new movie.
After all, Han Heping alone doesn’t have the final say in Yanying Factory!
"Don't worry about this, Teacher Wu. I have great confidence in you. I believe your movie will be successful!" Han Heping said immediately. He naturally knew that Wu Jianye was thinking about himself, but the more so.
, Han Hepingyue doesn’t think Wu Jianye’s movie will fail.
Wu Jianye laughed and said: "The second thing is that my new movie will be a science fiction movie, and the investment will even exceed the current "Eternal Night". If your Yan Film Studio wants to invest,
So what proportion of Yan Film Studio’s investment in this film do you want to account for? Can you come up with this money?”
When Han Heping heard that the investment in Wu Jianye's new movie would be more than the current "Eternal Night", he couldn't help but open his mouth, and finally closed it quietly, and then looked at Huang Jianxin who was sitting opposite him.
Huang Jianxin spread his hands and said, "Don't look at me about this. I don't know about Teacher Wu's new movie either!"
In fact, Huang Jianxin only knew that Wu Jianye's new movie was a science fiction film, and didn't know anything else.
"Teacher Wu, how much are you planning to invest in your new movie?" Han Heping couldn't help but ask.
Wu Jianye laughed and said: "There is no upper limit. As for the specific number, it should be more than 70 million!"
When Han Heping heard 70 million, he smiled and breathed a sigh of relief and said: "Teacher Wu, you are really good at joking. How can 70 million exceed your current "Eternal Night"..."
Before he finished speaking, the smile on Han Heping's face disappeared!
Wu Jianye also smiled and said: "Yes, it is 70 million US dollars, and this 70 million does not include publicity costs!"
Huang Jianxin sat on the other side of Wu Jianye. At this time, he couldn't help but be surprised. If it was really 70 million US dollars, then this movie would exceed the cost of all the single films Wu Jianye had shot before.
Cost!
Han Heping didn't speak for a long time. If the investment in Wu Jianye's new movie even reached the current cost of "Eternal Night", Han Heping would dare to make a decision now and would definitely invest. But now the shooting of Wu Jianye's new movie
The cost was as high as 70 million US dollars.
This is not something you can decide on your own.
"Teacher Wu, you really gave me a difficult problem. This matter is really not something I can decide alone. I have to discuss it with our factory director!"
"Well, that's what it should be, but you have to be mentally prepared. The 70 million I mentioned is just an estimated budget now. When the official shooting begins, I don't rule out additional investment!" Wu Jianye reminded again.
road.
Han Heping has no time to calculate these anymore. There is no difference between an investment of 70 million US dollars and an investment of 70 million plus!
"Teacher Wu, do you have the script of this movie now, so I can show it to our boss?" Han Heping said, a movie with an investment of 70 million US dollars or even higher than this amount, even if it is
If Han Heping wants to get it, he must have a script!
Wu Jianye's smile was still bright, and he said: "The script is only half written, and it involves a lot of professional knowledge. I think even if you take it back, you may not be able to find anything outstanding!"
Science fiction movies have a very fatal flaw, that is, some science fiction movie fans like to find all kinds of bugs in such movies.
Therefore, whether a science fiction movie can be successful or not, professional knowledge is very important.
Of course, this does not mean that every step of science fiction movies must be completely consistent with various data in reality. In that case, it would be easy to put the cart before the horse.
In movies, content is always king!
Han Heping finally showed a wry smile and said: "Well, this matter is really difficult!"
Wu Jianye looked at Han Heping with a smile. Since he wanted to support Han Heping, Wu Jianye would naturally give him more capital and said: "I know that Yanying Factory has been cooperating with banks in the past two years. If you Yanying Factory
If the factory wants a loan in the future, I can help you contact Standard Chartered Bank of Yanjing."
Wu Jianye is talking about you here, not Yanying Factory, and the meaning is already very clear.
If it were a different director, he might not be able to understand what Wu Jianye meant, but Wu Jianye believed that Han Heping would definitely understand.
Sure enough, Han Heping smiled immediately after hearing this: "Teacher Wu, are you serious!"
"Of course, regardless of whether Yan Film Factory and Tangting Culture will cooperate or not, I can guarantee that you can get this loan!" Wu Jianye said firmly.
After hearing this, Han Heping immediately picked up the wine glass in front of him: "Teacher Wu, I won't say more if I want to thank you!"
Wu Jianye smiled and said, "I won't listen even if you say it!"
Han Heping laughed and drank the liquor in his hand!
Nowadays, large domestic studios have long staff, corrupt systems, and many ways to spend money. It would be fine if their movies can continue to be successful, but as long as one big production loses money, it will be unbearable pain for them.
But even so, Wu Jianye was willing to let Yan Film Studio get a loan from Standard Chartered Bank. In fact, he was interested in Yan Film Studio's talents, film library, and their filming locations...
It would be good for Yanying Factory to borrow money from the old trees to sprout new buds, and with these things, even if Yanying Factory does not have old trees to bloom new buds, Wu Jianye would not be at a loss...
