The King of Huayu Science Fiction

Chapter 76 Going to Hollywood Exchange Class

Chen Jingxing, who was completely free, finally got rid of the busy work of more than two consecutive months. He had time to polish the next script. He walked around the neighbor's corgi dog, teased the neighbor's girl, and revisited his cooking skills.

Of course, there is also the progress of financing negotiations behind the scenes from time to time.

DreamWorks has decided to conduct the first round of financing, and the source of funds is mainly from companies within the film and television industry. Although organizations from other industries are interested in DreamWorks, Chen Jingxing does not consider it for the time being.

Corporate financing involves not only funds, but also more important resources.

Since DreamWorks wants to take root in the film industry and become a Huaguo classic studio, the resources in the industry are the most important. The so-called interlacing is like a mountain, especially in the film industry. Don't try to stand still.

Chen Jingxing wanted to turn DreamWorks into his "person" in the film and television industry through financing. This was the best way to gain a firm position without paying "tuition fees".

As a new force in the film and television industry, DreamWorks’ financing has not only attracted the attention of the industry, but also caused a lot of discussion on the Internet. After all, since the second half of 13, the biggest trendsetters in the film industry have been Fantasy World and DreamWorks. Small-budget sci-fi films not only filled the gap in domestic genre films, but also caused a lot of movement overseas.

At present, Xu Wenshen is in charge of all the financing negotiations of DreamWorks. Chen Jingxing did not show up, or deliberately kept a low profile. He returned to Beijing immediately after the road show, and even turned down several interview invitations and commercial activities.

Because if he showed up, the media would definitely be concerned about DreamWorks' financing, and Chen Jingxing couldn't speak at this time, not only he couldn't make a sound, but he also wanted to be as invisible as possible.

This is like a star renewing his contract with a club. The star himself must maintain a detached attitude. Even if the media asks, he will only answer that the contract renewal is in charge of the agent. He is only responsible for playing well, even if the contract renewal is unsuccessful. When encountering difficulties, I know that the star is making the final decision, but the agent must be at the top, because the star has fans, team fans and teammates, he must be loyal, kind, grateful and not a philistine.

Similarly, Chen Jingxing is not just a boss, he is a director. As a director, he will definitely continue to cooperate with Huanshiwang, Tianrun, United Cinemas and other industry giants in the future. In all fairness, he and Huanshiwang are very happy to cooperate , so he must continue to maintain a pleasant cooperative relationship, instead of rushing into the financing negotiations, that will only destroy the relationship.

Just like Huanshi.com did not send Kang Hua, Zhang Jingyan, and Zhang Tong to participate in financing negotiations this time.

When not talking about personal relationships but only about interests, it is even more important to protect the friendship between good friends.

However, the financing negotiations were not progressing smoothly. Fantasy World wanted to monopolize or try to monopolize the financing share. Xu Wenshen resolutely rejected the other party's request. In terms of financing shares and valuation, DreamWorks also had very close cooperation with several financing institutions. big differences.

Interested investment institutions such as Huanshi.com are looking for it, and Chen Jingxing is also waiting for a price. Although he is also eager to finalize the financing before the year, he knows that this matter cannot be rushed, and time is in his favour, because "Fatal Identity The box office of "is rising day by day, and there may be a release plan in North America. The market performance of "Fatal Identity" is his biggest weight.

As time entered the second half of January, the cumulative box office of "Fatal Identity" exceeded 1 million on Sunday 23rd, and the number of movie viewers exceeded 4 million.

It was released for 16 days, and won two weekly box office champions and 16 daily box office champions.

Although the box office market is getting worse and worse as the end of the new year approaches, there is still half a month before New Year's Eve, and "Fatal Identity" is almost certain to reach the box office of 4.5 million.

The box office score of 4.5 million is enough to rank tenth in 2013.

For a sci-fi suspense movie, this is an unimaginable achievement. In the history of Huaguo film, this is also a new record for suspense movies. identity".

The significance of this milestone is even more amazing than the box office achieved by "Fatal Identity". The film industry at home and abroad is very good at following suit. The birth of "Fatal Identity" has led many film and television companies to start preparing for police, suspense and even science fiction. type of movie project too.

With the rise of the box office, the Douban score of "Fatal Identity" has dropped by 0.1 points. The main slot in the evaluation is that the subtitle added at the end of the film is that the criminal was arrested by the police and sentenced to death after trial. of force.

But even so, with 80 people and a score of 8.8, "Fatal Identity" has successfully entered the TOP250 Douban movies, ranking 82nd.

In addition, "The Night the Comet Came" ranked 207th.

Chen Jingxing's only two films have both entered the Douban Film TOP250, and domestic directors with two or more films entering the TOP250 are really rare.

Just as Chen Jingxing was polishing the script of his next movie with "hidden ears to what was going on outside the window", Xu Wenshen suddenly called.

"Hello? Mr. Xu, did Huanshi.com back down?" Chen Jingxing thought it was the new progress in the financing negotiations.

Xu Wenshen gasped a bit as he spoke: "There is some progress, but that's not the reason I called. Boss, it's the news from the Film Bureau, saying that they have listed you in the first list of people who will go to Hollywood for study and exchange this year."

Chen Jingxing was a little unresponsive: "Go to Hollywood to study and communicate?"

"It is a cooperation plan reached with the American Motion Picture Association. It mainly selects young directors to study. The destinations of the study and exchange are the three major factories of Disney, Warner and Columbia."

"When?"

"It is said that it will be after the year, maybe in March."

Chen Jingxing was a little embarrassed: "I will start a new project in the next year..."

Xu Wen swallowed deeply: "Boss, I suggest that you should go. It is said that the Film Bureau attaches great importance to this project. This is an opportunity that I got after paying some preferential policies. Moreover, I called President Ren of Huanshi.com, and he The news that came out over there was that Lord Qin Wu of Guoying personally ordered you."

Qin Zhonghe?
"Originally, the list of directors was already booked at the end of last year. After watching "Fatal Identity", Qin Zhonghe applied to the director of the Film Bureau for a spot."

Chen Jingxing was both surprised and somewhat flattered. Qin Zhonghe is the chairman of China Film Group. Leaving aside the legend left in the Jianghu, it is said that this old man is willing to support talents. I don’t know how many filmmakers in the film industry have received his favor and help. Thinking that even though there were some conflicts with Huanshi.com because of the finalization of "Le Manrenrenjian", you still have your fancy?

"Who's on the list?"

"Ning Hao, Lu Yang, Chen Sicheng, Guo Fan, Xiao Yang and you, the boss."
