I really don't want to be red

Chapter 1349 Starting with 5 Billion

An Ran's preaching made Li Shangsheng, Li Jiahui and others feel very uncomfortable.

He is young, he is from Xiazhou, he makes few films...

These are all reasons to make them uncomfortable.

But you have to bear the discomfort, because An Ran is right.

Li Shangsheng is a person who has experienced failure. Although he is not convinced, he has to admit that the times have changed. If he does not make changes, he may be eliminated by the times.

Among the directors who went north from Xiangjiang, there were many who were not as good as him at the beginning, but they got along like ducks in water, and there were not a few who had a single movie with a box office of more than one billion, and several billion.

He, who was known as one of the four heavenly kings of Xiangjiang directors back then, did not get along very well here.

It's time for a change.

An Ran is young, but he speaks well.

It's rare, Li Shangsheng nodded, "It's true that I didn't read it well, I will savor Mr. An's script when I go back this time!"

An Ran patted him on the shoulder, smiled and left.

At noon, because An Ran came over, Bai Pengyun wanted to invite him to have a meal together.

But was rejected by An Ran.

It's his first day here, so of course he's going to have dinner with the crew.

It was a happy thing at first, but it was embarrassing when it was time to eat.

There is a wave of people coming from Xiangjiang, they only care about their own food, not the food of Xiazhou staff.

Tang Ni had already reported to An Ran about the housing incident a few days ago.

Li Shangsheng felt quite embarrassed, he forgot about this matter, the two sides were not in harmony, and it was a bit ugly to do this to this extent.

But it happened, what can he say?
An Ran didn't say anything, but just looked at him meaningfully, and then waved his hand, "Everyone from Xia Zhou's production team will follow me. From now on, you will always find a special person to take care of your meals, so as to ensure that you are full and healthy, and you will not be allowed to eat." Wronged!"

As soon as he said this, everyone gave a loud applause.

Dozens of people yelled more neatly and loudly than hundreds of people, making it clear that they were demonstrating to the people of Xiangjiang.

It wasn't long before An Ran took the people away.

There was news that An Ran took them to a hotel outside to have a good meal, and the food for four tables cost more than 3 yuan.

Not counting the drinks and drinks, a whole lunch was worth a small hundred thousand.

On their side, they are looking for someone to order lunch boxes.

Thinking about the money for the lunch box, it is part of An Ran's investment, this is really disgusting.

In the end, An Ran said, these people eat at a standard of 200 yuan per person per day, with meat and vegetables, and balanced nutrition. As for Xiangjiang, since you want to manage it yourself, then manage it yourself!
200 yuan!It may seem like an inconspicuous number, but if you want to have the standard of one day, you will definitely eat well.

It is said that the production team worked hard, and after filming a scene, they would lose three circles of weight, but in Anran, they would probably gain weight.

In the hotel, after lunch, Li Shangsheng seriously flipped through the script.

Li Jiahui lived in the same room with him, saw him reading the script, and said angrily: "Director Li, what's so good about this script, anyway, he's done all the shots and biographies, let's just follow his instructions, why bother with this Heart!"

"Jiahui, we should change our thinking!" Li Shangsheng put down the script and said, "Xiazhou is developing very fast, and Xiangjiang is developing well, but it's just a city, and it's only because of Xiazhou that it can develop to the present." The situation, the future of film and television must be in Xiazhou!"

Li Jiahui looked at Li Shangsheng's serious face, with depression and confusion on his face.

In fact, he knew it too, but he couldn't let go of the pride in his heart.

Li Shangsheng took the script and said: "This drama is actually very challenging. I read the script. Based on your foundation, he fully explores the characters' hearts, and the plot is very good!"

"How should I put it, this script has a deep understanding of Jianghu and chivalry, which I have never seen before."

Li Shangsheng patted the script lightly and put it in Li Jiahui's hands, "Jiahui, we should try to change it."

The companies here in Xiazhou are not short of funds, and dare to invest. The large market of more than 20 billion people supports them, allowing them to dare to invest and produce freely.

But what about small places like Xiangjiang?
A production of tens of millions is a big production, and a production of hundreds of millions is unthinkable.

This is also the reason why Xiangjiang Films declined. The market cannot afford small investment, and it is difficult to make films more sophisticated.

It gradually lost its competitiveness.

He has figured it out now, if he wants to be competitive and continue to make the movies he wants to make, he must rely on Xia Zhou.

Only here can he unleash his fists without any scruples.

Li Jiahui nodded, took the script but didn't read it.

It took a long time before he said: "In the future, it seems that we will have to eat based on people's faces."

Li Shangsheng smiled and said, "Didn't you always want to make your own movie? I think Xiazhou can..."

Ok!

There is only a compromise, who makes people rich?
In fact, in the deepest part of his heart, he still admires An Ran's talent.

Among other things, Yun Feixia's outfits made him truly feel the charm of costumes in character creation.

An always really understands, but he is not Xiaobai.

In fact, there is nothing to complain about losing to such a person.

But Li Jiahui still held up the script in his hand and said: "Let's see how he talks about this movie, it's too early to say."

No matter how powerful An Ran's talent is during the filming process.

But the film was not recognized by the audience, and everything was useless.

Talent and box office are two different things. If talent cannot be converted into box office, it means no talent.

This time they want to see what kind of different martial arts films they can make according to An Ran's instructions.

Li Shangsheng also nodded.

With an investment of 5000 million yuan, excluding the share of theaters, publicity and distribution costs, it will take at least 1.5 million yuan to pay back.

If the film can reach 1.5 million, it will be considered a pass, and if it can reach 2 million, it will be considered a success.

They have the confidence to continue to cooperate with An Ran.

Otherwise, just having fresh ideas is nothing but food.

The two of them unified their thinking and cognition this time, and wanted to see how far An Ran could go.

2 million box office is nothing in Xia Zhou.

But for martial arts films, it is more dangerous, because looking at the past ten years, the last time a martial arts film broke 2 million, there was only one solitary "Flying Killer at the Gate of Heaven".

After that, the martial arts movies are either tens of millions, or they can't be online at all.

Even Hong Kong's mainland doesn't shoot martial arts in ancient costumes anymore, which shows the decline of martial arts.

The figure of 2 million, in the eyes of both of them, is a bit too much.

According to their thinking, if it is shot, it will definitely not reach 2 million.

But when I asked An Ran about it at night.

An Ran took it for granted and said, "2 million? Is this the only ambition of your Xiangjiang director?"

"The movies I make should start at least 5 million!"

5 million to start!An Ran's words frightened the two of them.

Okay, the filming starts the day after tomorrow, I want to see if I can start with 5 million...
