Lao Yu said without hesitation: "Is there any need to talk about this?
Since Lao Chen is here, Lao Chen must take the lead in this matter. Even if he is not the director, he must at least take the lead.
However, this is a film designated by the higher-ups, and someone may be sent to take the lead, but when it comes to the director, most likely it is Lao Chen.
It would be no problem for Xiaogangpao to make commercial films. He is basically unique among directors. This is also a key reason why he can occupy a place among the three major directors in China. The key is that Xiaogangpao is very good at making money.
Already.
Although his background is not as deep as that of Lao Chen and Guoshi, he can make money, and he is the master who can make money these days.
This is the case with "Little Steel Cannon", but don't forget what kind of movie the leader asked us to make. I heard that the leader asked us to make a movie that supports opera. Think about the first movie of this kind that can really make people see it.
Which movie was the highlight?
Of course it was the one made by Chen, Farewell My Concubine, which is also famous in the international film circle. It is also one of the key films for me, Chen, to become one of the three major directors in China.
So in this case, it is estimated that only Lao Chen would be more reliable to shoot this kind of movie. Although the movies shot by Lao Chen may not be very successful commercially, for example, Lao Chen is indeed the only one who shoots art films.
file.
Of course, maybe Lao Chen’s shots are too unique, and some of his films may not be good enough for us professionals, let alone special audiences.
Therefore, Lao Chen's artistry in movies can be said, but in terms of business, it is still not criticized. Moreover, Chen himself is willing to deny that it is too bad. Even if my movie loses money in China, it will not be criticized in China.
In a situation where you can get your money back internationally, the little guy tolerated Lao Chen and continued to make art films.
Everyone hopes that investment can make money, but also hope that investment can lose money, so when you earn your first salary, you hope that there will be no bad results. They are all professionals in this field.
So although you know the specific amount of the investment, based on your guess, tens of millions should be a small problem at that time.
A patent for the majority.
Your cooperation with Lao Chen is not just to make money, as long as the movie can be made, and there is really no chance of it becoming popular, this is not a celebrity history.
If the leader will tell you and tell you the results during the meeting later, what should I say? If you want to let the little guy spend some money, invest, etc., those are basically not normal operations.
Of course, it’s not just your personal opinion. It depends on the nature and the cast. There is no doubt about Lao Chen’s directing skills. Is there anyone who is one of the eight small directors in China who can think highly of Lao Chen in terms of directing ability?
.
Although your action was just a test of the waters, you also hoped to get a bad result. If you can definitely get a bad result, this would be interesting.
He said that you people have not lost the motivation to make money, and the money you have is very useful. As long as you meet prodigal children and grandchildren, you will spend all your money in two or eight lifetimes, so you should have one less goal at that time.
.
They even said that it was impossible for Lao Chen to lose money on that movie. You know about the international copyright. What if Lao Chen sold the international copyright? That would be a bad thing. You invest.
Movies, you heard that if there is less than 50% profit, then it is not a loss. Add in your time cost, operating costs, etc., it is true that there is less than 50% profit, just close the business and get it done.
If so, the possibility of losing money in the end is very small. It is not because it is Lao Chen who is filming, so you have to be cautious. Wait until Lao Chen can get the investment back from the country, then it will be bad.
The day lilies are cold.
So at that time, you must have known clearly that you were making money, so it was pointless for you to still invest?
But if you cooperate with Lao Chen, it is definitely not just about making money. Lao Chen is an art film director and an artist, and the films he makes are art.
What we just said is wrong. Only with bad scripts and bad actors can we make bad movies. Lao Chen’s directorial skills are also internationally recognized. I can make bad movies. What about you?
Also doubtful.
Cooperating with Lao Chen to make art films is not a more suitable goal for you people. Lao Chen will also win you over for money. As long as you invest money, Lao Chen can make art films, and making art films is a low-key project.
The possibility of making money with widowers is small.
At least in China, if you watch that kind of movie, it won't have much box office, so you should be wary of Lao Chen's movie.
Especially if Lao Chen personally takes action and has tens of millions to stop it, and that is just a conservative estimate. If you hire some top actors, the price will be even lower. So in that case, the most you can do is
We need to calculate the movie we want to shoot on a scale of tens of millions or even tens of millions.
Are you saying they should know about Lao Chen's movies? It's not that Lao Chen is not so reliable, but Xiao Shao said that the movies he made actually lose less money. They lose more money domestically, but much less internationally.
I can get some back.
Xiao Lao Wang laughed loudly and said: "Lao Li, he is not being vague about that, because in that case, the key is not who he cooperates with, other directors, or even Big Gun Cannon."
, the box office is of course the most important thing, being able to make money is the way to go.
Lao Li suddenly said: "Listening to what they said, you still have a certain degree of trust in Lao Chen. It's up to them. Although you are just playing tricks, in that situation, you are willing to do whatever you want.
Let your money go down the drain, just do what the little guy does.
But now that movie is a designated art film. If such a big steel gun is possible, I am from a business background after all, so there is a small chance that I will be considered.
Well, even if you want to lose money, it is difficult, but what is easy now is to cooperate with other people. I can be regarded as a flag among the new generation of directors, but I have to work with the old Chen Guoshi.
If we are just hanging out together, how can we make sense?
In that case, is Lao Chen professional enough? Can anyone vouch for it?
If Lao Li wanted to invest, he would quickly get used to being outside the entertainment industry.
So that’s why Lao Chen definitely said that he wanted to make a movie. No one would cooperate with him in the morning with an invoice. Regardless of whether working with Lao Chen is profitable or not, there is no point in it. Lao Chen definitely makes the majority of art films.
People can understand it.
He thought about the movie that the director himself understood clearly. This might not be the lowest level of a movie. A movie of that level, well, basically wouldn't be low-key and mediocre.
Can you invest in something else?
So at the end of the day, we have to leave it to fate as to what kind of movies Lao Chen will make. You may think that even the leaders may not be able to understand what kind of movies Lao Chen will make.
So Lao Chen is a person that investors both love and hate."
But Lao Chen is bad. If Lao Chen is the director, the problem is small, but Lao Chen will lead the movie. You can guarantee that.
It's impossible for you to vote for it. If so, it would be a bad excuse for the leader to lose face, right? The key is not to see how well prepared we are here."
So, you just follow them and do whatever they want to do. Let's make that investment together. You suspect that the risk will be slightly reduced. Professionals will do professional things. That's it.
It's very correct.
He said that some of Lao Chen's movies are indeed not as good as expected at the domestic box office. In this world, selling a little money will go to the budget account. If you continue to lose money, what's the point of investing in it?
But whether I was able to make a bad film that time depends on the script and the actors. If the eight of them can be perfectly matched together, I suspect that if I want to make a bad film, the problem should be small.
of.
If it's economical, buying a house and renting it out is also a safer way, but it happens to be investing in movies. What's wrong with investing?
When it comes to Lao Chen, Xiaojia is very happy when we say we are trying to save money. He can treat people differently with his colorless glasses, right?"
And even if Lao Chen makes a movie that Xiaojia understands, Lao Chen can't use it at all. You think it's art, but they understand it. You have a way to explain it.
So in that case, you guys have to discuss it carefully. If Lao Chen intervenes in that matter, how will you deal with the boss's questions, or even say that the boss will let you invest when the time comes?
to cope.
If so, I might become one of the eight small directors in China. You have doubts about Lao Chen’s character, but to what extent my artistic level is low, no one dares to say.
So in that situation, when that guy Lao Chen becomes the director, he may not really be able to take the lead, but there is no skill that Lao Chen has that you can't match. This is just the ability to spend money.
Obviously, he would, so he cooperated with Lao Chen. Of course, the little guy also wanted to make money, but just because he made money and gained a bad reputation, it was not the most appropriate thing to lose more money, or even lose money.
.
How much money does that movie require? And how much less money you guys can come up with needs to be seriously considered. Anyway, as long as you cooperate with Lao Chen, the possibility of losing money on that movie is very small.
The key is that people can make money, and that is the most important thing you admire. Lao Chen is honestly a person that people love and hate. Especially if you invest, you should be even more cautious.
Xiaojia must be very upright on the outside. It would be a waste of money for me to film that guy Lao Chen.
Lao Li took over from the side and said: "Lao Yu is good at that, right? You heard that when you make movies, if you make money or even make a lot of money, it will be considered a loss.
It is to hope that Lao Chen's films will definitely be brought back from the country. Some of the films made by Qian Lao Chen are not brought back from the country. Although there are many examples of that, there are indeed none.
We are all here. The secretary didn't come over just now and said that there was a meeting 20 minutes ago. We should prepare for it. I guess that time it went so smoothly.
Being able to cooperate with Lao Chen, there is no chance that a celebrity will go down in history. For example, Lao Chen filmed Farewell My Concubine. He thought about it, if other people invested in the movie, would this be a name that would go down in history?
Did you hear that that time the following did not mean to make a smaller movie? It could be solved with a few million. It would definitely solve the problem of shooting funds with a few million. In this way, it is possible that two of our eight directors would be directly hired.
Got it.
If you can see that you understand, then there is nothing wrong with him and he is knowledgeable. So if you can see that he understands, that is also a very abnormal thing.
Because the little guy was very serious about his professional movie, he just casually hired a few actors and filmed it and it was done. This required professional guidance.
Especially since the movie was designated below, it is impossible for Lao Chen to really let himself go and make a movie that I might not even be able to watch, and the possibility is very slim.
It excludes the fact that Lao Chen suddenly became popular and could make bad movies, but you dare to bet on that. It is not based on character at all. Lao Chen's art has been internationally recognized, so you have to deny it.
So whatever they do, you should follow suit. Your face must be given, but our funds must also be as risk-free as possible, so that they can be wasted casually.
Do you want to make art films? Especially when art directors make art films, they basically don’t use the money as money at that time. Therefore, at that time we have to set a bottom line for ourselves and calculate the bad and bad.
Deal with that.
Just because I want to make money and find big guns, the movies I make are basically not movies made by some bad guys that can lock in the audience.
But no matter what, as long as the script is not bad and the actors are bad, the possibility of making money will be smaller. If the character and actors are suitable, then we can just invest the seven or eight million and be done with it.
, In that case, it will not only make the leader look bad but also avoid losses for you. If you can do that, at most, the loss should be much smaller.
And when the time comes, the leader is really embarrassed to say that Lao Chen’s level is poor. After all, Lao Chen has been internationally disapproved, so I say that it is art. This is its own art. If there is a way, who would let someone’s level be low?”
The key is not whether he is losing less or losing more, so at that time you must first know what kind of movie it is, and then you can discuss other solutions to the problem.
