I'm just telling the artist what's wrong!

Chapter 688 The movie is finished?
After finishing the recording of "Tucao Conference", Zhou Di returned to his home in Shanghai.

The friends also went to the four directions after drinking alone and getting drunk.

The conversation at the dinner was all related to the show, and there was no anger in the tone. It was obvious that they were having a good time.

The "Tucao Conference" program team is also editing this program as quickly as possible.

With Zhou Di opening the show, it will be much easier to invite artists later.

After all, even artists like Zhou Di are here, so what do you have to worry about?

Everyone, including Li Dan, believes that the effect of this program will far exceed expectations when it is broadcast. Therefore, the sooner the program can meet the audience, the better it will be for the later stages of the program.

But these are not things Zhou Di needs to worry about. He received a call from Guo Fan a few days after returning to the Magic City.

"Hey, Mr. Zhou Di, the movie is halfway done, would you like to take a look?"

"Your tone is very wrong, just speak up if you have something to say."

Zhou Di directly interrupted Guo Fan's words.

Guo Fan smiled.

"That. The current budget."

"How far is it?"

"Not much left, only 500 million left."

"Now the difference is 500 million, what about the announced funds? You can't use up all the announced funds, right?"

Zhou Di questioned these.

Guo Fan quickly explained.

"No, no, I announced that the funds were not moved. It was another company that withdrew its capital. I didn't want to disturb you. After all, you invested too much. I sold my house to make up for the shortfall. A difference of 500 million is a last resort.”

Zhou Di was silent for a while before speaking.

"You should be thankful that I just accepted a show that paid 500 yuan."

"Teacher Zhou Di, what a shame."

Guo Fan's iconic mantra is this sentence.

He obviously wanted it, but he was tactful.

Zhou Di said with a half-smile.

"I don't think you look embarrassed. If you feel embarrassed, how about I leave?"

"Don't, don't, don't let the fat and water flow to outsiders. You are now the biggest investor in our movie. For every 10 yuan you earn, you can get 3 yuan."

Guo Fan said quickly.

Zhou Di shook his head.

"Forget it, don't make trouble for me, the movie box office can only get 33%, and 33% of the 3% is not much, just wait, the money will be credited to the account in a few days of."

"Okay, okay, thank you Teacher Zhou Di, I will do a good job."

Guo Fan became very attentive again, afraid that Zhou Di would regret it, so he hung up the phone.

Seeing Guo Fan looking like a thief, Zhou Di couldn't help but smile bitterly.

It is estimated that anyone who encounters such a director will also have a headache.

Rough calculations, it seems that I have already officially invested 6 million. According to the total investment of "The Wandering Earth", this movie needs at least [-] million at the box office to be able to pay back.

Nowadays, there are many movies with a box office of 6 million in the Chinese market, and there are even movies with a box office of 10 billion, 20 billion, and 30 billion.

But the problem is that no domestic science fiction movie has ever achieved such a high box office.

So 6 million is still a big threshold for "The Wandering Earth".

I hope Guo Fan will not let himself down.

It’s not that Zhou Di feels sorry for his own money, but he hopes to use this to open a door to domestic science fiction movies.

Because no one has tried it, it seems rare.

Obviously there is an excellent sci-fi writer like Liu, but there are no matching sci-fi film and television works, which is also an imbalance.

Just when Zhou Di sighed like this, the phone in his hand rang again.

Zhou Di said habitually.

"Guo Fan, what's wrong with you?" "Ah? Teacher Zhou Di, I'm not Guo Fan, I'm Dumpling."

There was obviously a different voice on the other end of the phone.

Zhou Di was stunned for a moment and said with a smile.

"Jiaozi, it's you, I thought it was someone else."

Jiaozi is an animation director. His real name, Zhou Di, can't be remembered, but he always called Jiaozi.

Zhou Di got acquainted with him because when he was dubbing "The Return of the Great Sage", he learned that he is an inspirational and passionate young man who wants to be a Chinese manga.

At that time, it seemed that his investment could never be obtained. After understanding his ideas, Zhou Di invested in his works without hesitation.

During this time, the two also kept communicating intermittently. I still remember that during the last communication, Jiaozi told Zhou Di that his film was halfway through production.

Dumpling smiled.

"Teacher Zhou Di, I am calling you this time to tell you the good news. The preliminary production of "The Devil Boy: The Coming of Nezha" has been completed. We plan to hold an internal preview in the near future and would like to invite you. Come and take a look.”

"So fast!"

Zhou Di was a little surprised.

Dumpling nodded.

"I'm not happy, I'm not happy. This movie has been in production for so long. If it doesn't produce results, I feel sorry for you."

Check it out!

People have this kind of ideological consciousness.

Zhou Di should really pull him in front of Guo Fan and let him see what makes a good director.

The same is investment, one will only keep chasing after oneself to invest, and the other will make a movie out of it without making a sound.

The contrast between the two people is too obvious.

Zhou Di couldn't help but wanted to present Jiaozi with a certificate of excellence as a Hua Guo director.

"Okay, send me the time and I'll come over then."

"Okay, thank you Teacher Zhou Di."

The dumplings are very happy.

After hanging up the phone, Zhou Di couldn't help sighing.

One is to make excellent Chinese comics, and the other is to make excellent science fiction.

I don’t know which of the two will succeed.

Or both are successful.

Zhou Di shook his head.

This year's film market is very prosperous, and there are not a few major films on the line.

This is true whether it is a foreign superhero blockbuster or an excellent domestic film output.

At the beginning of the year, "Monster Hunt 2" was released, and many excellent previous films also released sequels.

During the production of "Monster Hunt 2", director Xu Chengyi invited Zhou Di.

But Zhou Di was in a rest period when he didn't want to do anything at the time, so he declined the proposal.

Later, Xu Chengyi asked Liang Chaowei to star in this movie.

Although the box office is still the same as before, the word-of-mouth of this movie seems to be a mess.

Originally, the ratings of the first part were not high, but this one fell directly to the bottom.

Many media have criticized this movie for being suspected of lowering intelligence at a young age.

In addition to this movie, "Detective Chinatown 2" is also about to be released.

Like "Monster Hunt 2", Zhou Di was also invited during the preparation of this film.

But Zhou Di still refused.

However, Zhou Di has read the script of "Tang Detective 2". Judging from the script, the income of this movie should be better than that of "Monster Hunt 2".
