Chapter 916 New Movie: Science Fiction

This year, Han Heping was officially transferred from Emei Film Studio to Yanjing Film Studio as the deputy director!

However, Wu Jianye had been busy with his own affairs before, so he didn't have time to celebrate Han Heping. Tonight, when he had time, he made an appointment with Han Heping. By the way, he called Huang Jianxin out, which was also a celebration for Han Heping!
When Han Heping and Huang Jianxin were studying at the Film Academy, they were both Wu Jianye's students. Later, Wu Jianye dug Huang Jianxin into Tangting Culture, while Han Heping stayed in Emei Film Studio.

"Factory Manager, congratulations!" Wu Jianye said with a smile.

Han Heping's face is also proud of the spring breeze. It can be seen that he is still very happy. Although it seems that he has dropped a level from the director of Emei Film Studio to the deputy director of Yan Film Studio, Yan Film Studio and Emei Film Production Compared with the studio, it is a level bigger. Now it is a flat tone for Han Heping, but the meaning is different.

In the past at the Emei Film Studio, it was just like that at the top, but now that Han Heping has come to Yan Film Studio, the road ahead of him is instantly wider and he has more choices.

In fact, the same is true for Han Heping, deputy factory director, factory director, China Film
"Mr. Wu, don't make fun of me. When you come to Yanjing, you come to your territory. In the future, our two families will cooperate more!" Han Heping said with a smile.

It was also when he came to Yanjing that Han Heping became more and more aware of the importance of Tangting culture in China.

Although this is just a private entertainment company, the resources in its hands even surpassed that of Yan Film Studio at this time. The most important thing is that Wu Jianye has money in his hands, much richer than Yan Film Factory, so Han Heping came After arriving in Yanjing, the first alliance that comes to mind is Wu Jianye.

Wu Jianye also had a smile all over his face, "No problem, if you need anything in the future, just speak up as soon as possible!"

Wu Jianye is also very appreciative of Han Heping, coupled with Han Heping's later development, whether it is public or private, Wu Jianye must support Han Heping!
Han Heping was not polite either, and said: "Don't do it again, Mr. Wu, I have one thing I want to discuss with you now!"

Wu Jianye said: "Don't worry, let's order food first, and chat while eating!"

After speaking, Wu Jianye asked the waiter to hand over the menu to Han Heping, "Order first, let's talk later!"

Han Heping: "Then I will not be polite. I have heard that people in Yanjing circles like to come here. It just so happens that I will try their handicrafts today!"

After speaking, Han Heping directly ordered 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, tell me, what are your plans?"

Han Heping smiled and said, "Mr. Wu, is your new movie ready?"

Wu Jianye replied: "Almost there is some clues, why do you want Yan Film Studio to participate?"

When Han Heping asked about his new movie, Wu Jianye thought of Han Heping's idea. Whose movie is the most profitable movie in China now?

Naturally, it is Wu Jianye's movie. Since Wu Jianye's debut, none of the movies he has made has not made money. The most important thing is that before Wu Jianye went to Hollywood, he had always worked with China Film Group. Invest in new films of your own, some of which also include other studios.

However, with the establishment of Hengdian Film and Television City, coupled with the sufficient financial support of Tangting Culture, leading equipment in the country, and the establishment of a special effects company, etc., after Wu Jianye returned from Hollywood, two consecutive films "Chu "The World of Stars" and "Eternal Night", which has not yet been released, were 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 is the new official, he naturally hopes to win the cooperation with Tangting Culture. If Yan Film Studio can invest in Wu Jianye to take over For Han Heping, he has gained a firm foothold in Yan Film Studio!

Sure enough, just as Wu Jianye thought, Han Heping nodded seriously, and said: "Yes, Mr. Wu, I do have this idea. Although Yanying Factory is not as good as the hardware equipment of Tangting Culture, Yanying Factory also has My own advantages. First of all, Yan Film Factory has its own distribution channels. At that time, you can release your new movie with Fengge Cinemas. In addition, the influence of Yan Film Factory has always been there. I believe that Tangting Culture and Yan Film Factory The cooperation is definitely a win-win situation.”

When talking about cooperation, Han Heping talked eloquently and multiplied the advantages of Yan Film Studio.

Wu Jianye didn't speak all the time, just watched Han Heping talk, and Han Heping didn't finish talking until the waiter started serving the food.

"Talking while eating!" Wu Jianye said with a smile.

What Han Heping said was a little dry, and he took a sip of beer directly, and then said: "Mr. Wu, don't just talk about it by me, give me an attitude!"

Wu Jianye knew that if Han Heping did not give an accurate answer to this matter, he would not let himself stop eating, so he put down his chopsticks and preached seriously.

"In principle, I don't object to cooperating with Yan Film Factory, especially now that you are still the deputy director of Yan Film Factory. Even if it is to support your work, I have no objection, but there are two things you must be prepared for. !"

Hearing what Wu Jianye said, Han Heping was also a little moved. Everyone is in this circle. He just said so many benefits of Yanying Factory, but he knows that those advantages of Yanying Factory he mentioned just now are of great importance to everyone. As far as Tangting culture is concerned, it is not very attractive. If the Yanying Factory at this time is the sun in the afternoon, then Tangting culture is now the sun at noon.

And my sun this afternoon is still the sun in cloudy days
To really get 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 bluntly that because he can let Yan Film Studio participate in Wu Jianye's new movie, Han Heping was naturally very moved.

"Teacher Wu, just say it straight, as long as Yan Film Studio can participate in investing in your new movie, let alone two things, even ten things, we have no objections!"

Wu Jianye chuckled and said, "Don't rush to agree, you can make a decision after I finish speaking, or 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 movie, Wu Jianye really has no way to determine whether this movie will be a success. Now the only thing Wu Jianye is sure about is that this movie will definitely give domestic audiences a great visual impact. Impact, but in terms of the story, whether the domestic audience will buy it or not, he has no confidence and can only wait until the movie is released to make sure.

As for why the current movie is said, it is because in the film industry, the only benchmark for measuring whether a director is an excellent director is whether the movie can create greater benefits.

The interests here include the box office of the film and the income of the video market.

Don't think about the income from domestic video tapes. It is still the existence of all cultural workers who can't wait to eat their flesh and drink their blood. Piracy!

As for the overseas box office, whether Xianxia movies can be recognized by audiences outside Southeast Asia is also an uncertain question mark.

For a movie that cannot bring benefits to investors, the director of this movie will also be dismissed from the altar, and there will be fewer investors to attract.

Especially Wu Jianye's "Eternal Night" has invested nearly [-] million yuan. If such a huge investment really fails, I believe that except for Wu Jianye, it will be an injury that no domestic director can bear.

Wu Jianye said this to make Han Heping think clearly, because if his movie "Eternal Night" fails, Yan Film Studio will definitely have to re-evaluate whether it will invest in its new movie.

After all, Han Heping is not alone in Yanying Film Factory!
"Mr. Wu, don't worry about this. I have great confidence in you. I believe your movie will be a success!" Han Heping said immediately. He naturally knew that Wu Jianye was thinking of himself, but the more so , Han Heping does not think that Wu Jianye's movie will fail.

Wu Jianye chuckled and said, "The second thing is that my new movie will be a sci-fi movie, and the investment will even exceed the current "Eternal Night". If your Yan Film Studio wants to invest, So how much do you want Yan Film Studio to invest in this film? Can you come up with this money?"

When Han Heping heard that the investment of Wu Jianye's new movie would exceed the current "Eternal Night", he couldn't help opening 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 Mr. Wu's new movie either!"

In fact, Huang Jianxin only knew that Wu Jianye's new movie was a sci-fi movie, and he didn't know anything else.

"Mr. Wu, how much do you plan to invest in your new movie?" Han Heping couldn't help asking.

Wu Jianye smiled and said: "There is no ceiling, as for the specific amount, it should be more than 7000 million!"

When Han Heping heard 7000 million, he smiled and breathed a sigh of relief, and said, "Mr. Wu, you really know how to joke. How can 7000 million exceed your current "Eternal Night"?"

Before he finished speaking, the smile on Han Heping's face disappeared!

Wu Jianye also laughed, and said, "That's right, it's 7000 million US dollars, and this 7000 million doesn't include publicity costs!"

Huang Jianxin was sitting on the other side of Wu Jianye. At this time, he couldn't help being surprised. If it was really 7000 million US dollars, then this movie surpassed all the single-piece films that Wu Jianye shot before. cost!

Han Heping didn't speak for a long time. If the investment in Wu Jianye's new movie reached the cost of the current "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 7000 million US dollars.

This is not something you can decide for yourself.

"Mr. Wu, you really gave me a problem. I really can't decide this matter alone. I have to discuss it with our factory manager!"

"Well, it should be, but you have to be mentally prepared. The 7000 million I said is just an estimated budget now. When it comes to the official shooting, I don't rule out additional investment at that time!" Wu Jianye reminded again road.

Han Heping no longer has the mind to calculate these things at this time. For him, there is no difference between an investment of 7000 million US dollars and an investment of 7000 million plus!
"Mr. 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 7000 million US dollars or even higher than this amount, even 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 something that is too brilliant!"

Sci-fi movies have a very fatal flaw, that is, some fans of sci-fi movies like to find all kinds of BUG in such movies and never tire of it.

Therefore, whether a sci-fi movie can be successful or not, knowledge in the professional field is very important.

Of course, it doesn't mean that every step of a sci-fi movie must be completely consistent with the various data in reality. In that case, it will be easy to put the cart before the horse.

Movie content is always king!
Han Heping finally showed a wry smile and said, "Well, this 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 Studio has been cooperating with the bank for the past two years. If you Yanying If the factory wants a loan in the future, I can help you contact Yanjing Standard Chartered Bank."

Here Wu Jianye is talking about you, not Yanying Studio, the meaning is already very clear.

If it was a different director, maybe he couldn't understand what Wu Jianye meant, but Wu Jianye believed that Han Heping would definitely understand.

Sure enough, Han Heping smiled immediately after listening: "Mr. Wu, you are serious!"

"Of course, regardless of whether Yan Film Factory and Tangting Culture will cooperate or not, I can guarantee that you will get this loan!" Wu Jianye said firmly.

After Han Heping finished listening, he immediately picked up the wine glass in front of him: "Mr. Wu, if I thank you, I won't say more!"

Wu Jianye smiled and said, "I can't listen to it even if I say it!"

Han Heping laughed and drank the liquor in his hand!

Now the large domestic studios have redundant staff, a corrupt system, and a lot of places to spend money. It’s okay if their films can always be successful. As long as a major production loses money, it will be an unbearable pain for them.

But even so, Wu Jianye was willing to let Yan Films get a loan from Standard Chartered Bank. In fact, he was interested in Yan Films' talents, film library, and their shooting locations.
It is naturally good that Yanying Factory can borrow old trees to sprout new shoots, and with these things, even if Yanying Factory does not have old trees to sprout new shoots, Wu Jianye will not lose money.
