China Entertainment: Gao Yanei wants to be the best actor

Chapter 491 Give Me a Reason! 【4K】

The book continues from last time:

It is said that when Gao Fei was writing Spring Festival couplets in his courtyard, Ning Hao and his party suddenly came uninvited.

Seeing them like this, Gao Fei knew that there must be nothing good.

So he simply put the group of people aside and continued to write Spring Festival couplets on his own.

Seeing this situation, Ning Hao didn't feel embarrassed either.

Anyway, he has done a lot of thick-skinned things, and this one is not bad.

On the other hand, Xiao Yang, who was traveling with him, was a little embarrassed, thinking that Gao Fei was really upset, so he couldn't help but whispered:
"How about...we come back another day?"

After all, it is a bit exciting to ask the boss to work overtime during the Chinese New Year!

When Ning Hao heard the words, he waved his hands without worry and said:
"Don't worry, it's okay."

"Don't look at Lao Gao who yells to be lazy all day long, but he never delays his business."

Counting from the filming of "Crazy Stone" in 2005, Ning Hao has known Gao Fei for almost ten years.

It can be said that he almost watched how Gao Fei grew from a small actor to a film and television giant step by step.

Therefore, the reason why he stayed here brazenly was not because of their personal friendship, but because of his confidence in Gao Fei.

After all, Gao Fei wouldn't have made Zhou Yi such a big deal if he hadn't been so resolute and decisive.

Regarding this point, it was vividly reflected in the two incidents of Gao Fei's acquisition of Zhouyi and Bizhan.

Of course, the reason why he brought a group of people over after getting off the plane was also for the company's consideration.

You must know that although there are many projects in the circle, good projects are always rare.

So coming here early can also reduce some unnecessary surprises.

After all, who knows if the project will be cut off in advance after they go home!

Seeing what Ning Hao said, the people on the side were slightly relieved.

But when they looked around for a week and found that Liu Yifei's family was there, the fire of gossip in their eyes suddenly couldn't help burning.

Don't think that old men don't gossip, just like the topics in the girls' dormitory are always more open than those in the men's dormitory.

Seeing this situation, Ning Hao immediately understood that their thinking was wrong, so he immediately said angrily:

"It's not to meet the parents. Sissy and Lao Gao are neighbors, and the half of the alley opposite is her home."

"I heard that their family is celebrating the New Year in the capital this year, and now they are probably here to visit."

It's just that as soon as these words came out, Xiao Yang and others beside him couldn't help but twitch their mouths.

Good guy, when did you buy a house with a hutong as a unit?
Although this sweet-scented osmanthus alley is a bit short, it is on the second ring road of the capital, on the back seaside.

Half of each person, are you sharing watermelon?

For a while, few people couldn't care less about gossip about Gao Fei and Liu Yifei, they could only secretly feel sad on the sidelines.

After all, it doesn't matter if you can't compare with Gao Fei, whoever makes him a monster, and whoever compares with him is looking for abuse.

But she couldn't compare to Liu Yifei, a little girl, which made these elders feel a little inferior.

You must know that even Xiao Yang, the youngest among them, is already in his 30s now.

It can only be said that "people are compared to others, and anger makes people die; lives are compared to lives, and anger becomes sick".

……

Just when Xiao Yang and the others had different thoughts, Gao Fei finally finished his work.

And it's not just his family, Gao Fei even wrote the Spring Festival couplets in the yard opposite, which really made her mother look bad.

It's strange to say that when Gao Fei's net worth soared by 30 billion with the listing of Digital Domain two days ago, her mother didn't think much of it.

But today Gao Fei just showed his superb calligraphy skills, which made Gao's mother very happy.

It seems that in her eyes, her son earning three billion yuan is not as good as being good at calligraphy and having face.

For a moment, Gao's mother looked at Gao Fei with kinder eyes.

On the other side, Gao Fei didn't delay any longer, and Dang even took Ning Hao and his party into the study.

Before a few people opened their mouths, Gao Fei took the lead in laughing and teasing:
"Why, it's not Chinese New Year yet, and everyone is here to pay New Year's greetings? It's too early!"

Hearing this, Ning Hao suddenly laughed and said:

"Hi~ Let's say goodbye to the early years!"

After all, after teasing each other a few words, Ning Hao got down to business.

Didn't China Film Group send a group of directors to Hollywood to study and study?

Not to mention, Ning Hao and others have benefited a lot from the transfer in the past six months.

Perhaps because of analogy, the directors have more or less had some inspiration in the past six months.

So they came and went again and again, they inspected and worked together, and when they returned to China, they basically had a project in their hands.

At first they were thinking about who to invest in when they returned to China, but they didn't expect to hear the news that Digital Domain was listed on the Hong Kong stock market and Gao Fei's net worth skyrocketed by 30 billion in one day before even boarding the plane.

So a group of people suddenly had an idea in their hearts.

After all, Zhou Yi has always had a good reputation in the film and television industry.

In addition to commercial films, it has also invested in many literary and artistic films in recent years, and produced many excellent works.

I won't talk about the "The Piano of the Steel" the year before last.

The "Thousand Arrows Piercing the Heart" released in the first half of this year is also a rare masterpiece.

Not only won the best film award at the Huabiao Awards, the heroine Yan Bingyan also won the Huabiao Best Actress and the Grand Film Festival Best Actress with this film.

By the way, Li Xian also won the Best Newcomer Award at the Huabiao Award, and he has successfully stepped into the film circle with half a foot.

It can be said that today's Zhouyi Film and Television has completely suppressed Huayi with its box office and awards.

But winning these honors did not come without a price.

Don't look at "Thousand Arrows Piercing the Heart" which has achieved a lot at major film festivals, but failed miserably at the box office.

Until the movie was released, the total box office of "Thousand Arrows Piercing Heart" was only 249 million.

From an investment point of view, this wave of Zhouyi is considered a blood loss.

But this is not the first time Zhou Yi has lost money in business.

For example, although the previous art films had excellent reputations, they were all dismal at the box office.

Therefore, the senses of the directors are naturally very good for such financial backers who know that they are losing money and are willing to invest in them and make movies.

Of course, on the other hand, I also want to thank Hua Yi for setting off.

We must know that in the early years, Huayi was more eager for quick success and quick profit, and always took care of these unprofitable films.

But then again, China Film was the most suitable for this matter.

After all, this visit to Hollywood to study and study was promoted by China Film in the final analysis.

According to industry practice, even if there are any achievements, it should be counted on the head of China Film Group.

However, even though this is the custom, Han Sanpin will retire next month.

As for this kind of hand tail of the predecessor, the next one generally doesn't pay much attention to it.

Because it is purely thankless, and the credit for doing a good job is also on the predecessor.

After all, office politics are inevitable everywhere.

Therefore, before going abroad, Han Sanpin told them not to have any scruples, if there is a good opportunity, go there, and don't wait for China Film to invest.

It is also for this reason that the group of people came to Gao Fei's place by coincidence instead of thinking about going to China Film Group immediately after getting off the plane.

After listening to Ning Hao's explanation, Gao Fei immediately nodded silently without saying anything.

Because of this matter, Han Sanpin also greeted him.

But it's not to attract investment for this group of directors, but to let him invest without any scruples.

If you come across something you like, just do it directly, and China Film has absolutely no objection.

It has to be said that after retirement, Lao Han became more thoughtful and more generous in his work.

But friendship is friendship, business is business, and the two cannot be confused.

So Gao Fei didn't say much, but just silently took over the scripts of several people and looked at them.

Seeing this, the few people on the side couldn't help feeling tense.

After all, Gao Fei is well-known in the industry for his eye for picking scripts.

If Gao Fei rejects him this time, it's fine if he can't get the investment, and it will definitely affect other people's opinions in the future.

This can be regarded as the intangible influence that Gao Fei has accumulated over the years!
In comparison, Ning Hao was the most relaxed.

Well, he really didn't need to be nervous.

Therefore, while several people held their breaths and waited silently, Ning Hao had the leisure to appreciate the calligraphy and paintings in Gao Fei's study.

However, those that can be placed in Gao Fei's study are naturally high imitation Dongpo calligraphy and paintings.

Therefore, Ning Hao watched it for a long time, but he didn't hold back any good farts except for "Awesome".

……

It is different from scripts of hundreds of thousands of words in TV dramas.

The content of a movie script is usually not much, and generally [-] to [-] words are enough.

So Gao Fei looked very fast, and after about half an hour, he put down the document in his hand, frowned slightly and fell into deep thought.

How should I put it... This time it was indeed a bit beyond his expectations.

From hardcore sci-fi to sci-fi comedy;
From fantasy comedy movies to suspense comedies;

While most of them have comedic ties, the main factors are different.

By the way, there is also a modern war movie coming.

Thinking of this, Gao Fei couldn't laugh or cry.

"Looking at your trip...the investigation is really not in vain!"

After a while, Gao Fei who came back to his senses immediately laughed and teased them.

Ning Hao was not polite at all when he heard the words, Dang even said proudly:

"That's right, our brains are no worse than those of Americans, so we can shoot what they can."

Hearing this, Gao Fei also nodded approvingly.

So Gao Fei didn't go around in circles with them, and Dang even got straight to the point:

"First of all, the projects are pretty good."

"However, in view of the current situation in China, some types of movies are not so easy to make. I hope you all know this before you start shooting."

"Although it is good to have ideals, difficulties also exist objectively."

Having said that, Gao Fei immediately turned to look at Guo Fan on the left and said:
"For example, Guo Dao's "The Wandering Earth", the story is very good, and the concept is also good."

"Even whether it is special effects technology or funds, Zhou Yi is not a problem here."

"But... I need a reason!"

I saw Gao Fei staring at Guo Fan's eyes with piercing eyes, and said solemnly:
"Why do you convince me that you can handle such a huge project?"

Although there is no detailed shooting plan yet.

However, it is not difficult to estimate the approximate shooting cost of "The Wandering Earth" based on Gao Fei's years of experience.

At least in Gao Fei's opinion, if you want to shoot the picture effect in Liu's original work, if you don't have [-] million, don't even think about it!

So although Gao Fei's words are straightforward, they are indeed very realistic.

In fact, it was him. If it were another investor, Guo Fan would probably be let go without even looking at it.

You must know that although the cost of Wu Yusen's "Red Cliff" was as high as 6 million yuan, if it is divided into two films, the average cost of each film is only [-] million yuan.

But even so, the project "Red Cliff" is still losing money.

Don't look at the global box office of the upper and lower "Red Cliff" is 1.9 million US dollars, equivalent to RMB 15.2 billion.

However, most Chinese-language films are released overseas to sell copyrights, and the box office proceeds belong to overseas distributors.

Not to mention that "Red Cliff" originally had Japanese investment.

So even if the box office of the two "Red Cliffs" is higher in Fusang than in China, those have nothing to do with China Film, and those who should lose money still have to lose money.

If it weren't for this, Han Sanpin, who always likes to make blockbuster movies, wouldn't be afraid to avoid Wu Yusen after cooperating with "Red Cliff".

And in terms of box office prospects, "The Wandering Earth" does not have the advantage of "Red Cliff" in the theme of the Three Kingdoms. I am afraid that it will have even less hope in terms of overseas box office.

Therefore, even though the box office ceiling of domestic movies is constantly rising, the box office pressure faced by "The Wandering Earth" is even more severe.

At the same time, facing Gao Fei's rhetoric, Guo Fan didn't know what to say for a while.

After all, hardcore sci-fi blockbusters burn money. This is indeed a recognized fact in film and television circles at home and abroad.

Therefore, he could not refute every word Gao Fei said.

Even he himself, and Xiao Yang and the others beside him understood Gao Fei's concerns very well.

Indeed, not to mention how the movie was shot in the end.

The cost of [-] million alone is enough to make everyone cautious.

As soon as Gao Fei finished speaking, Guo Fan immediately fell silent.

It's just that although he didn't know how to answer Gao Fei for a while, it was obvious from Guo Fan's eyes that he still didn't give up.

Seeing this situation, Gao Fei nodded slightly in his heart.

After all, if he gave up after suffering a little blow, it could only show that he is really not suitable to host such a big project.

So after seeing that Guo Fan was speechless, Gao Fei didn't continue to ask, but said softly:

"If you still insist on this idea, you are welcome to come to Zhouyi to talk to me anytime!"

After finishing speaking, he skipped Guo Fan and looked at the others.
