China Entertainment: Indulge in Vanity Fair

Chapter 73 He Fang's new idea made Cameron and Huying's high-level executives beat faster
After He Fang was woken up by the phone call, he got up with a drowsy head to wash up, then left the hotel and went straight to the pharmacy. After buying medicine and taking cold medicine, he went to the crew hotel.

When he was on the road, he received another call from William. Cameron's itinerary was confirmed. He will arrive on the 22nd and participate in China Film's activities on the 23rd and 24th.

After that, you can go to Zhangjiajie for two days wherever you want. Cameron has traveled all over the world to promote the film, so he can relax properly.

But it must be after they participated in the activities in the capital.

Therefore, He Fang was less than ten days away from receiving them, and then the two communicated. Cameron meant not to arrange any media interviews, but just to have fun and eat some delicious food.

So, He Fang discussed with William an itinerary, flying directly to Zhangjiajie on the 25th, spending two days and one night in Zhangjiajie, attending a dinner in Changsha on the 26th, and leaving on the morning of the 27th on a flight from Changsha to Tokyo, with Cameron in the middle Arrange a dinner to meet Huying Group, Mango TV and entertainment stars. There may be some videos and simple interviews. There are no other arrangements at other times.

Suddenly, He Fang felt that Cameron's trip to China could use his momentum to help complete part of the construction of the Huying Group's film and television city?
For example, post-production special effects and 3D rendering construction. Since Huying Group Film and Television City is positioned as a modern city and a production base for future sci-fi blockbusters, will the cooperation and guidance of the Cameron team be even more powerful?
It just so happens that Kameme is promoting his 3D technology around the world, and now he is very eager for someone to find him to cooperate with.

Just, how to cooperate?Directly shoot a 3D blockbuster?

What to shoot then?
"The Wandering Earth" definitely won't work, the market is too small now, it would be a waste of the subject matter if it is released.And domestic commercial 3D blockbusters that he knows are more commercially successful...

"Journey to the West: Conquer the Devil"?Forget it, Master Xing has been preparing for a long time.

"Dragon Fly"?Forget it, he can't shoot martial arts at all.

"Journey to the West: Havoc in the Sky"?Forget it, although this one billion-dollar house, it's too bad...

No, his follow-up film "Journey to the West: Three Fighting Bone Demons" is a good film, and this one can be shot.But you can take it easy, this film seems to be filmed in 2014 and released in 2016, it can be filmed a year or two later.

Wait a minute, is it possible to make a sci-fi movie?
Like... Pacific Rim?Well, think about it, when was this film shot in another time and space?It seems that it was released in 2013 and filmed in 2011, so there should be no conflicts when he filmed it in 2010, right?
OK, let's do this first.

"Hey, William, actually I also want to make a 3D blockbuster. Maybe Mr. Cameron can come over this time and ask him if he can cooperate with the technology. After all, I don't know much about 3D technology."

"You want to make a 3D movie? Wow, He, are you kidding me?" William couldn't believe it. Now there are many companies in Hollywood waiting to see, and no one said that they will make a 3D movie soon. But He Fang from China said To shoot, it's amazing.

"I'm not lying to you, I have a story, and I have a background in China, and money is not a problem. Now I lack technology, maybe it's okay." He Fang's head became hot, and he didn't care whether the domestic market could support such a large film. box office.

When the filming comes out, it will be enough for him to cry if he can't recover the cost.

However, he doesn't care now, because he suddenly thought of a good way to make money.

"Oh, well, I'll ask Mr. Cameron about it."

Now is the time for Cameron to promote his 3D package, and He Fang's proposal of this plan is simply in line with Cameron's heart.

When Cameron heard William mentioned that He Fang had the idea of ​​making a 3D blockbuster, he immediately chatted with He Fang in person. The two chatted for more than half an hour. Cameron was even willing to spend half a day with Lake Film Group talked about 3D cooperation.

Therefore, the content of the meeting on the morning of the 27th was added to the original schedule, and the matter of He Fang's invitation to Cameron was basically settled after that.

After the matter was settled, He Fang also reported the matter to Huying Group, taking advantage of this matter, asked the group to quickly make a rendering of Huying Group's film and television city, and then show it to Cameron, and then He Fang The thing about working with Cameron came out.

"He Fang, you want to make a 3D movie? Is it that kind of blockbuster movie with special effects?" Secretary Gu Yang was shocked.

"Yes, blockbusters like "Terminator" and "Jurassic Park" and "2012" are more difficult to make than those blockbusters. When you watch "Avatar", you will know what I want to shoot .” He Fang confirmed.

"Are you crazy? Do you know how much it costs? I heard that "2012" invested 2 million U.S. dollars, and "Avatar" invested 3.5 million U.S. dollars. You want to shoot the same one, even if China's labor is cheap, you at least You have to invest more than 5.8 to 2012 million U.S. dollars, right? How much is that? One billion yuan, and the current record for the highest box office in the country is only [-] million, just won by "[-]". Your cost is more than one billion, this... "

It's impossible for Secretary Gu Yang not to be crazy, because He Fang's idea really shocked him. This is simply impossible. How could this young man easily agree to such a thing?
If it is 1000 million, Secretary Gu asked Huying Group to help He Fang carry it. Even if it is [-] million, he can find someone to find a way to share a large part of the burden.

But it's over a billion, man, this...

"Secretary Gu, don't worry, the cost will not be more than one billion, and I will pay for the money myself, so I am not afraid of losing money." He Fang said.

He Fang has his own ideas, because he remembers that the cost of "Journey to the West: Conquering the Demons" is only more than 1 million yuan. Although Zhou Xingchi traded time for the cost reduction, He Fang believes that the cost will not increase eighty-nine if it is released two years in advance. times, four or five times is estimated to be some.As long as the cost is within 6 million, he can still accept it.

"You pay for it yourself? I don't know how much property your family has? How much you can earn from the few movies and variety shows you are making now is not enough for one billion."

"Secretary Gu, don't worry about 120. I really pay for it myself. This is a good opportunity for Huying Group. If Cameron's team comes directly to guide the production of special effects blockbusters, we will become the best in China. , and even the most advanced post-production center for special effects in Asia, this is an opportunity for Huying Group to industrialize, which cannot be missed."

"Xiao He, you..."

"Secretary Gu, believe me, when the time comes, anyone in Asia who wants to make a blockbuster 3D special effects film will come to us. The infrastructure we invest in will immediately fill up orders. This is the first step to success."

"Also, with Cameron's visit and cooperation, do you think that our plan for "Huying Group Film and Television City" will be easier to pass at the two conferences in Hunan in January?"

He Fang is still full of enthusiasm. If Gu Yang hadn't inspired him to industrialize the film industry, he would not have been so concerned. Now that he has done it, he must take the lead everywhere.

"Phew, think about it again, think about it again... When are you going back to Changsha? Let's meet and talk, this matter can't be decided by the two of us on the phone."

"I'll be back tomorrow. The final preparations for "On the Journey" are about to be scouted. Most of the scenes are in Changsha," He Fang said.

"Okay, let's talk about it when you come back."

……

He Fang's plan is so tempting that Gu Yang's heart beats like a 'thump'.

He smoked three cigarettes in a row, and let out a long breath, "Oh, young people are still passionate, which makes an old man like me uneasy. Xiao Zeng, go, inform the group's senior management for a meeting in an hour."

"Okay, Secretary Gu."
