my movie years

Chapter 96
Zhang Hao teamed up with his friends to clean up Zheng Guohui, giving Chen Gezi and his wife a small shock.But this scorching summer is not destined to be peaceful.

At the end of August, when Zheng Guohui's case was under trial, Zhang Hao officially completed the script of "The Magic" and submitted it to China Film and Bona.

When the editorial and review departments of the two companies saw the script, they felt dizzy.

After two films, Zhang Hao has created an impression in the film and television company and the audience that he is good at suspenseful crimes and high-IQ brain-burning movies.

And "Fatal Magic" can be said to play the suspenseful and brain-burning aspect to the extreme, and once again set a new upper limit.

Whenever you feel that Zhang Hao’s tricks are nothing more than this and cannot deceive your smart brain, Zhang Hao will jump out and tell you loudly: “Hey! Do you think that’s it? Take a look at this, look at your smart brain. Not smart, can you understand it?"

No one wants to admit that he is a fool or a fool, but the script of "The Prestige" made the editorial department feel that he was really a fool.

In the end, the script was submitted to San Ye and Yu Dong.

The third master read the script and was amazed: "Our Director Xiaozhang has an extraordinary brain, he can use magic to make movies."

The general manager Mao Yu was a little worried: "Mr. Han, can such a movie be liked by the audience?"

There is a very important point about theater movies, that is, simple movies sell much better than complicated movies.

The reason is very simple. When the audience enters the cinema, they hope that they can watch a movie easily without using their brains.

But complex movies often exhaust the audience, and watching a movie is more tiring than going to work all day.

Of course, this point is not applicable at all times.There are still a few cases where complex movies can sell high box office.

The third master pondered for a while and asked, "How about cost accounting?"

"According to Director Zhang's prediction, two first-line male stars will be invited to play the role, plus other miscellaneous expenses, if there is no 5000 million, I'm afraid it won't be able to stop it." Mao Yu said.

"Wow," said the third master in admiration, "Our director Xiaozhang is finally going to do something big. Let's follow up on this project."

China Film Group decided to follow up, not to mention Bona's side. Yu Dong, who is rich and powerful, was very proud and said that he would invest 5000 million alone.

The success of two consecutive projects gave Yu Dong a kind of blind trust in Zhang Hao, as if Zhang Hao would never fail.

The news that Zhang Hao's new film project is about to be launched has attracted the attention of insiders.

The young people are really full of creative energy. The previous film has not been released for two months, and another project is about to start, fast shooter!
Generally speaking, even for a director with strong creative energy, one film in two to three years is already very fast.

For the kind of director who works slowly and carefully, it may take four to five years, or even ten years to produce a movie.

But Zhang Hao makes one movie a year, one after another, isn't this speed a bit too fast?

The Hong Kong Island films of the 90s and [-]s are excluded here, because that is not a normal development ecology of the film industry at all.

And now Hong Kong Island movies are also slow, and the shooting speed is no longer the same as before.

Amazed at Zhang Hao's speed, at the same time everyone began to speculate: whether the young and complacent Zhang Hao has drifted away, and has begun to enter the stage of careless production and fooling the audience.

Generally, when directors enter this stage, they will experience Waterloo, and then most of them will never recover.

Seeing Zhang Hao jumping into the next project so quickly, Chen Gezi showed a confident smile and said to Mrs. Chen Gezi: "I see, we don't need to do anything, he will clean up himself. When the time comes, we will push and help he."

Mrs. Chen Gezi agrees very much, she seems to have seen the ugly faces of Zhang Hao's family when they rushed to the street after the movie was released.

The script of "Fatal Prestige" cannot be seen by the outside world, so it can only imagine it out of thin air.

The attitude of China Film and Bona to support Zhang Hao without hesitation also made some people have more guesses.Looking at the firm attitude of China Film and Bona, Zhang Hao's new movie may be another box office bomb.

Some people sing bad news, some people are optimistic, and everyone holds their own opinions.

But for some film and television companies, this is a great opportunity.

I didn't have the opportunity to participate in Zhang Hao's project before, because the investment in the previous projects was too small, and neither China Film Group nor Bona was enough.

But this time, judging from internal channels, it seems a bit unusual. It is said that Zhang Hao opened his mouth this time and called out a production cost of 5000 million.

Haotian Studio will invest partly, and China Film and Bona will also invest partly.The three companies invested 5000 million together, which is a bit risky.

So at the project seminar, Zhang Hao's proposal to introduce investment from other companies was successfully passed.

It is normal for multiple companies to invest in a film project and share risks together.

In the entertainment industry, it is not advisable to eat alone, or you will find that your resources are getting less and less in the end.

Zhang Hao is also forming good relationships, giving other companies a chance to invest in their own projects, and turning other companies into his friends.

If you have more friends, your opponent will have fewer friends.

At least when the two sides are fighting, these people can remain neutral and not intervene.

The news spread quickly that Zhang Hao's new movie project needed a new investor.Countless film and television companies are like sharks smelling blood, swarming up to share the investment share.

Tang Ren was the fastest. Cai Yinong had contacted Zhang Hao before, and soon sent representatives to contact Haotian Studio.

Originally, they were going to attract new investors, but Tangren didn't care about anything except giving money, and China Film and Bona didn't object, so Tangren invested smoothly.

This can be regarded as opening a gap in film production, but it remains to be seen how far it can develop in the future.

Tangren is not without price. In exchange for investment opportunities, several projects in Tangren's hands are also open to Haotian Studio, China Film and Bona.

As film companies, China Film and Bona have little interest in TV drama projects.

But Zhang Hao is still very interested in "Scary Step by Step", so he just got involved, and the TV series "Scary Step By Step" has an extra producer for no reason.

In addition, Huayi is the one with the most investment intentions.

Huayi is currently a giant of private entertainment companies, with countless resources in hand.The more you hold, the more you want to eat.

In order to be able to participate in Zhang Hao's project, Mr. Wang even called Zhang Hao himself.

"Director Zhang, are you interested in entrusting your project to our company for operation? The conditions are easy to talk about." Mr. Wang revealed his purpose as soon as he came up.

Zhang Hao said: "Mr. Wang, as you know, I am happy to cooperate with China Film Bona, and I have a very good relationship with the third master Yu Dong. It is impossible for me to get rid of them and cooperate with an unfamiliar company."

"I'm not familiar with you now, but I'll get to know you after getting along slowly! Come to our company, and I guarantee that your treatment will not be worse than that of Director Feng." The king always wanted to lure Zhang Hao over with his sharp tongue.

But Zhang Hao didn't listen at all: "Mr. Wang, if you want to invest, I welcome it, but I won't go to a company with too many big names. I want to make my own decisions about my movies."

After hearing this, the king sighed: "Unfortunately, there is no such opportunity for you to join Huayi, and we will accomplish a great cause together.

But that's okay, our Huayi voted for your new project. "

"Thank you, Mr. Wang, for your support. What about the artists under your company?"

The king was very angry: "It's no problem, as long as they have a schedule and are willing to appear in your movie, I will not set up obstacles."

"Then thank you very much, Mr. Wang..." Zhang Hao rarely expressed his sincere thanks.
