Chapter 135 Spend one money, do two jobs?

After Wu Jing was selected as the second male lead, Guo Fan began to interview other people non-stop. In the end, he roughly selected the basic candidate, and half a month had passed.

During this period, Guo Fan also gained a deeper understanding of the preparation of sci-fi movies.

"If this development trend is followed, the filming will start in three months at the latest... But the problem is, I want to make a part, even a trilogy, or a quadruple. Do I have to start from the beginning every time? start?"

Guo Fan is best at integrating resources. When he quickly entered the preparation stage with Lin Shaotian's support, he suddenly realized that the investment of [-] million yuan and the gathering of thousands of crew members were not a simple task. thing.

If you could do two things for the same money...

As soon as Guo Fan thought about it, he received a call from Lin Shaotian.

"Director Guo, there is something I want to talk to you about. Can you come out this afternoon?"

"of course can!"

"Okay, I'll ask the secretary to send you the address."

The news came in quickly. The address was a guild hall in the city. Guo Fan had also heard it before. When the bigwigs in the circle discuss cooperation, many people like to meet in elegant places.

It's a pity that Guo Fan didn't reach a certain level before, and he didn't have the chance to enter a high-end club.

Now dragging Lin Shaotian's blessing, he also has to go out to see the world.

At three o'clock in the afternoon, Guo Fan appeared at the entrance of the club wearing a suit. He rarely dressed so formally, most of the time he was dressed in casual clothes, no matter how comfortable he was.

But when he thought that Lin Shaotian could arrange the location here, he definitely wanted Guo Fan to meet the big shots in the circle.

In order not to lose Lin Shaotian's face, Guo Fan specially bought a suit worth several thousand yuan.

"Mr. Guo, please follow me."

Wearing a moon-white cheongsam, a young waiter with a graceful figure led Guo Fan into the clubhouse. After passing through a water corridor, the waiter stood in front of a bamboo-woven door and stretched out his hand as a gesture of invitation.

Guo Fan pushed open the door apprehensively, just in time to see Liu Dehua, a bigwig in the industry, toasting Lin Shaotian.

"Good guy, Liu Dehua!"

Guo Fan was quite surprised, he never thought that he could meet Liu Dehua, an evergreen tree in the industry, here!

"Guo Fan, come in."

Lin Shaotian raised his eyes and saw Guo Fan standing stupidly at the door, and reminded him.

"Boss Lin, Mr. Liu, it's a pleasure to meet you."

After Guo Fan entered the door, he took the initiative to shake hands with Liu Dehua and introduced himself.

Liu Dehua smiled - he looked a little older than on TV, with more wrinkles on his face, but he was full of energy, not like a 60-year-old at all.

"Director Guo, I heard Mr. Lin introduce you just now, saying that you are the best science fiction film director in the industry. Would you like to give me a chance to participate in filming?"

As soon as these words came out, Guo Fan suddenly took a deep breath.

When he provided Lin Shaotian with the list of actors, he put Liu Dehua's name on the last one, because he felt that the possibility of Lin Shaotian being able to hire Liu Dehua was really not very high.

Even Guo Fan has a suitable candidate for the role that Liu Dehua should play.

But who knew that Lin Shaotian gave him such a big surprise!
"Of course! Teacher Liu, with your participation, this movie will definitely be a hit!"

Guo Fan's words are not all compliments to Liu Dehua.

As an evergreen tree in the industry, Liu Dehua has been active in the front line of filming so far. As long as he participates in a film, even if it is a bad film, the audience will pay for it!

With him and Wu Jing participating, even if the final filming results are not satisfactory, at least the box office will not suffer too badly.

Guo Fan suddenly realized that he understood why Lin Shaotian invited Liu Dehua!

It must be to give the movie box office an extra guarantee!
Capitalists certainly don't want their investment to lose money!

Guo Fan sat down cross-legged, and began to make some calculations in his heart.

Lin Shaotian looked up at him, and knew that this person must be thinking about how to maximize Liu Dehua's value. Lin Shaotian actually knew Guo Fan very well, and knew that his greatest ability was to fool people and integrate resources.

Compared with these two items, his directing ability is actually not top-notch.

If Guo Fan does not become a director, but switches to a producer or investor, his ability can be brought into full play!

It's a pity that Lin Shaotian, the current director in the entertainment industry, really doesn't know who should replace Guo Fan, so that Guo Fan can be a producer with peace of mind, so that he won't have to work hard for filming.

"Director Guo, I came to see you today, not just to introduce Teacher Liu to you, but to hear about your plans for filming."

Lin Shaotian asked.

Guo Fan thought for a while, and said a part of his inner plan, "Mr. Lin, I have been thinking these days, we have found so many resources and professionals to prepare this movie, if we only make one... it will Won't it be too much of a loss?"

"Of course it's too bad, so what are you going to do?"

Lin Shaotian was looking forward to Guo Fan's answer.

"I plan to use the resources of one film to make two films! Even three are possible!"

Guo Fan's ambition is really great, and he is confident enough.

Before the filming of the first film officially started, he was thinking about making the second and third films.

If Lin Shaotian hadn't known how successful "The Wandering Earth" would be, he would definitely feel that Guo Fan is too overreaching!

As a director who has never made a sci-fi movie, the first time I started, I thought about making a trilogy.

Anyone who hears this will feel that he is delusional and daydreaming!

After Guo Fan finished speaking, he was also waiting for Lin Shaotian's answer.

As the biggest investor in the film, it is very important for Lin Shaotian to agree with Guo Fan's idea.

Guo Fan was also very afraid that Lin Shaotian would reject him.

Sensing the silence between the two, Liu Dehua said, "Using the resources of one movie to make two movies, this kind of thing, Wang Sunglasses has done it before, and the effect is good."

Guo Fan nodded.

"Mr. Lin, I personally think that it would be a pity if such a large basic disk is only used to make a movie, and it would be a waste of resources. Why don't you take a gamble? Believe me, I will do my best! No You will be disappointed!"

An investment of [-] million yuan is more than enough for a sci-fi movie.

But if you want to shoot two sci-fi movies twice, the budget will not be enough. Why not take advantage of the banner of the first movie and finish shooting two or even three themes in one go.

This will not only save money, but also improve Guo Fan's experience a lot.

But the final decision is in Lin Shaotian's hands, if he doesn't agree with Guo Fan's idea, everything will be useless.
