Chapter 313 I think you are not enough!
The audience in the live broadcast room were also a little confused when they heard Wu Jing's shout and the figure running away.
The microphone was turned on, but there was no one on the other side.
But the live broadcast room already had more than 140 million people, and seeing this scene made them even more curious about why the other party wanted to connect to this microphone.
at this time.
In a company, Wu Jing was shouting and looking for his good friend. After a while, he saw his good friend Guo Fan, who looked dejected.
From the look on his face, you can tell that he has failed to attract investment again.
"Old Guo, I've been calling you for a long time but you didn't respond." Wu Jing hurried over.
Guo Fan sighed and said, "Alas, the negotiation failed. They were all worried that our costs were too high, and that the subsequent special effects would cost so much money that there was no possibility of making a profit."
"Old Wu, I'm afraid I'm going to get you into trouble this time. If I ask you to sell your house to invest in this movie, you won't be able to face your wife in the future."
Wu Jing was also speechless when he heard this.
The "Nobody" and "China Blue Helmets" incidents caused such a stir on the Internet, but they were not in the mood to watch the fun.
Because some time ago, Dawan Films also withdrew its investment in their film "The Wandering Blue Planet".
Dawan Films withdrew their investment on the grounds that their budget was too large, exceeding 5 million, and that the budget would have to reach 15 billion to recoup the investment, citing unreasonable costs and many other reasons.
In fact, they themselves had no confidence, so it was not surprising that Dawan withdrew his investment at such a fast speed.
After all, how many movies in China can gross over 15 billion yuan at the box office?
This is a science fiction movie. There is a desert of science fiction movies in China, and we don’t even know how many audiences it has.
But the withdrawal of 6000 million by the other party would be fatal to them. The special effects were being produced at a critical moment, and the most important thing for their movie was the special effects.
The film production could have been completed within three months, but who knew something like this would happen suddenly.
When Wu Jing heard this, he immediately said, "There is still one chance, we should fight for it."
Guo Fan frowned and said, "I have asked all the questions that need to be asked. Those investors are basically unwilling to invest. Otherwise, I wouldn't have to persuade you to sell your house to invest."
Wu Jing immediately said, "There is another person, Chen Jincheng. He just acquired LeTV's film and television division. He just said in the live broadcast that he has a film and television investment plan. Maybe he is willing to invest in us."
"Chen Jincheng." Guo Fan was surprised.
The internet has been so lively these past two days all because of Chen Jincheng.
The reason is that Chen Jincheng is optimistic about the small-investment movie "Nobody" and is not optimistic about the big production "China Blue Helmets".
Now the facts have proved that "The Blue Helmets of China" has completely failed, and "The Unknown" has become the biggest dark horse this year.
This also shows how sharp Chen Jincheng's vision is.
Thinking of this, Guo Fan also felt hopeful: "Let's contact the other party as soon as possible."
"Come with me. We've already connected to the other party's live broadcast room." Wu Jing pulled him and hurried inside.
...
Seeing that Wu Jing was still nowhere to be seen on the call after a long time, Chen Jincheng planned to hang up.
We can’t keep 140 million+ people waiting, right?
At this time, Wu Jing was seen pulling a bearded man out of the video link.
He recognized the other person as Director Guo from the Little Broken Ball in another world. He was definitely a genius sci-fi director.
When Guo Fan got in front of the camera, he was also shocked to see more than 140 million people in the live broadcast room.
so many people.
With so many people, it would be great if they could just promote "The Wandering Blue Planet" and make their movie widely known.
"Mr. Chen, let me introduce you. This is Director Guo." Wu Jing also introduced him to Chen Jincheng immediately: "He is currently directing a hard science fiction movie, which is also the only real hard science fiction movie in China."
"It's just because the cost is too high. Dawan Films withdrew 6000 million yuan due to various problems such as high cost. Now the film has funding problems and there is no way to carry out the post-production special effects."
“So, I want to introduce this movie to you.”
When he said this, everyone in the live broadcast room understood, and the comments started to fly:
"Introducing the movie: attracting investment!"
“Here to attract investment!”
"666, what a great introduction to the movie!"
"..."
Naturally, some people were attracted to Dawan Films:
“It’s Dawan Films again.”
"Da Wang was just criticized by Cheng because of "The Chinese Blue Helmets", and now they meet again by chance?"
“Haha, if Cheng invests this, he will really become an enemy of Dawan.”
"..."
Chen Jincheng couldn't help but feel overjoyed.
After all, is there anything more joyful than money falling from the sky?
Second Generation Star Films has just come out, and the best way is to come up with a project for everyone to see, and then gain a foothold.
If it is a small broken ball, then it is the best project to gain a foothold.
Most importantly, he remembered that the first film of this little broken ball had earned more than 45 billion at the box office. He forgot the exact amount, but the profit from the box office alone was nearly 20 billion.
This 6000 million investment alone accounts for 12%, which is 2.4 million.
Moreover, the sales of the copyright of the Little Broken Ball are also very good, and the revenue from peripheral products is also very good. This investment will eventually bring Ershi Xingchen about 4 million in revenue.
This sum alone will allow Second Star Film and Television to gain a firm foothold.
The key point seems to be that he is going to become famous by stepping on Dawan Films. After all, the other party had just withdrawn its investment and he took over.
But something is not right. In another world, Dawan seemed to withdraw his investment even earlier, as if he was going to invest in Detective Chinatown.
But in this world, there seems to be no trace of Tang Tan.
Another subtle difference between the two worlds.
The key point is that with the money delivered to the door, only 6000 million was invested, which seems to be a big loss. It would be better if more could be invested.
Guo Fan also began to talk at this time: "Mr. Chen, "Wandering Blue Star" is adapted from a novel, which actually has a good audience base. In addition, in order to make this movie, I also introduced..."
He talked a lot, trying to convince Chen Jincheng.
But Chen Jincheng was thinking on his own and didn't listen to what he said at all. He thought for a while and said directly: "Director Guo, do you mind sending me the script of your "Flow Blue Star" now?"
Anyway, let’s look at the script first. With the same script, same team, and same plot, as long as they spend money on special effects, this movie will basically be a hit.
It can be said that China badly needs its own hard science fiction.
Fortunately, there is no Lu Han in this world. I wonder if the movie that closed the door to domestic hard science fiction will appear again.
Guo Fan on the opposite side was stunned for a moment when he heard his words, then his face became full of joy and he hurried out to get the script.
If the other party is willing to read the script, it means there is an opportunity and he or she will not be scared off when hearing about the investment cost like others.
Moreover, since the other party is optimistic about "The Unknown", it shows that he really has vision.
He still believes in his script.
After a while, Guo Fan came back, added Chen Jincheng through private message, and sent a script document.
After receiving the script, Chen Jincheng also said to the audience in the live broadcast room: "I have received the script sent by Director Guo. I will look at the script with the people in the film and television department and discuss it. It will take some time before I can give you a reply."
After that, he also instructed Sun Ji and the others, "Boss Sun, Boss Zhao, come and take a look at the script of Director Guo's movie."
Sun Ji and Zhao Lei's faces lit up with joy. They had never expected that coming to meet this big boss would lead to such a big project.
Really, if this project can succeed, it will be the first shot fired by the Second Generation Star Films. The most important thing is that this new boss is not playing around, he is serious.
After being happy, they also became serious.
They understood that this might be the time when the new boss was testing them, so they couldn't make any mistakes.
The two were pulled into a WeChat group and were also given the script of "Traffic Blue Star".
They also immediately started to look at it carefully.
Chen Jincheng also pointed the camera of the live broadcast room at the two people and asked them to leave the screen for a while. He really wanted to test the two people to see if their evaluation of "The Wandering Blue Planet" would be wrong.
All of a sudden, the live broadcast room became quiet, with only Sun Ji and Zhao Lei looking at the script.
However, the number of viewers in the live broadcast room has increased again, reaching over 150 million.
Moreover, even though there is no movement in the live broadcast room now, no audience has left.
After all, this is a movie with an investment of 6000 million.
Most of the time, we just go to the cinema to watch movies, and have never seen movie investment. Today, I am fortunate enough to see it.
This is a high-end thing for everyone, and they also want to see whether this investment will be successful.
The sound of 钭.
Han Shangyou also paid attention to Chen Jincheng's live broadcast room, and the 150 million+ online viewers had set a new record.
But this time they are not there to push the flow.
This shows that Chen Jincheng already has his own traffic. Just look at his live broadcast room, and you can see that many celebrities and directors have appeared there. He knows many people in the film and television industry.
This situation is something that they, Yinyin, want to copy, and they cannot create another internet celebrity like this.
But the key point is that now Chen Jincheng actually has contact with Kuaishou, and they are flirting with each other, which really makes them worried.
Rice Group.
Boss Lei had just returned to the office after a meeting and was checking the news on his phone.
There is no result released from Chen Jincheng's live broadcast room yet, but the hot search news has already included news about Chen Jincheng, Guo Fan, and "Traffic Blue Star", and the popularity is still high.
Boss Lei didn't expect that Ershi Xingchen would start working on a film and television project so quickly.
After reading the news, he understood what was going on. After a while, he appeared in Chen Jin's live broadcast room. He was also curious about the result. After all, he also owned 20% of the shares of Second Life Star.
At this time, Chen Jincheng had already read most of the script of "The Wandering Earth". He had forgotten many details of his previous life, but he could remember it roughly.
The script is the same, so there is no problem with the plot, and if the special effects are up to par, there will basically be no major problems with the movie.
There are more and more people from the film and television industry in the live broadcast room.
These people also felt very surprised.
This is the first time I’ve seen people talk about film investment in this way.
Even people from Dawan's side entered the live broadcast room.
Wu Jianhui is the investment director of Dawanxin.
He was actually very grateful to Chen Jincheng this time. If it weren't for him, the failure of "China Blue Helmet" would not have been known to everyone, which would have ruined their reputation and the original vice president would not have taken the blame.
There is no way he could take over at the speed of light.
But he didn't expect that Chen Jincheng was involved with "Wandering Blue Star" again. It was "Wandering Blue Star" that their group had discussed and decided to withdraw their investment from.
With Chen Jincheng's vision, it would be impossible for him to invest in this movie.
The cost is too high.
Finally, Chen Jincheng finished reading the script and looked at Sun Ji and Zhao Lei and asked, "Boss Wu, Boss Zhao, have you finished reading the script?"
The two nodded immediately.
Chen Jincheng added: "Then tell me what you think of this script."
His words perked up the audience in the live broadcast room.
Guo Fan and Wu Jing also became a little nervous. After all, the critical moment had arrived.
Sun Ji immediately exchanged opinions with Zhao Lei and then expressed his own views.
Sun Ji: "Mr. Chen, the script of "Wandering Blue Planet" is very good. This kind of hard science fiction is very rare in China, almost non-existent."
Zhao Lei: "Yes, so this movie has a reason to exist. In addition, I agree with some of the opinions and plans that Director Guo provided outside the script. The only thing is that the cost of this movie is too high."
Sun Ji nodded: "Yes, the cost is too high and the risk is higher. The box office revenue for the movie to make back its investment is too high."
Chen Jincheng thought this was nonsense and asked directly, "So do you think this movie can be invested in?"
Sun Ji immediately said, "We can invest. If the quality is good, especially the special effects, we can open up a market and make over a billion yuan at the box office. Of course, we must first ensure that the special effects in the other party's plan are implemented."
Zhao Lei also said: "Even if we invest, we will send people to the crew to supervise and have the right to monitor the flow of funds."
Chen Jincheng also smiled when he heard what they said.
Sure enough, the person who can lead the company into autonomy and launch projects after the boss runs away is indeed a capable person.
He also turned the camera of the live broadcast room to himself: "I think everyone already knows the result. Indeed, there are almost no hard science fiction movies in China. I admire Director Guo's open-minded spirit. I think this kind of movie should be supported."
"To be honest, I find it hard to understand why young actors are popular in movies and TV shows nowadays, and why their acting skills are no longer important. When did a movie rely on marketing instead of quality?"
"In fact, some directors, bigwigs, investors, and so-called insiders in the film and television industry are not even as good as an outsider like me. This is a very scary thing."
"I am very worried that when directors and film investors deviate from the film itself, a very scary scenario will occur, for example: the director finds a fat person to shoot a weight loss VLOG, and then the investors market all kinds of inspirational and passionate propaganda, so that everyone can only see such voices for a while."
"In the end, it even became a weight loss industry, a feast of female boxing, which actually got high box office, but the real focus of the movie was lost. Just think about it, that's a very scary thing."
When Chen Jincheng said these words, the people in the live broadcast room looked at each other in surprise.
But that’s very true, especially when it comes to the issue of young and handsome men.
However, many people disagreed with his last words, especially those in the film and television industry.
"That's alarmist. If you can just shoot a weight loss vlog and get high box office, what do we directors need to do?"
"That's right, our film and television industry can't possibly be this bad."
"Chen Jincheng, don't think you can speak freely just because you said something right once about "Nobody"."
"..."
Chen Jincheng did not refute these people, but instead said to Guo Fan who was connected to the microphone: "Director Guo, we, the Second Life Star, have invested in your film. I just want to ask, if we invest another 6000 million, is it enough for you to produce perfect special effects?"
He thought of the news he interviewed in his previous life. When everyone was surprised by the special effects of the little broken ball, in fact, this special effect was still a rough version, because the cost of the special effects was cut a lot compared to the initial estimate, and the special effects shots were also cut in half.
Because the cost of semi-finished special effects is already relatively high, if you want to make a perfect version, the cost will be even higher by 1.5 million, and the movie box office will have to reach 20 billion to break even.
Who dares to invest?
Well, Chen Jincheng dares. In this case, his share of the box office revenue alone can increase from 2.4 million to 6.5 million, and the total return on this investment may exceed 10 billion.
Guo Fan was anxious when he heard his words: "Mr. Chen, that's enough, absolutely enough. I can assure you that after you invest this money, the funds will definitely be enough, and there will be no more investment costs exceeding the target."
After finally getting the investment, he was really afraid that the other party would suddenly regret it, which would be really painful.
Therefore, he could only firmly promise that after returning, some special effects would have to be deleted and the quality requirements would be reduced.
It’s too difficult to make hard science fiction movies in the country.
Really, it’s not that they can’t do as well as foreign countries, it’s just that they lack capital. Even many people working in Hollywood are still from their country.
Think about an investment of 1 million or 2 million US dollars, how much higher the cost is?
"Director Guo, I think you are not good enough." Chen Jincheng suddenly said.
“???” Guo Fan was obviously stunned.
