King of Rolls' China Entertainment Tour

Chapter 162: Is "The Legend of Shushan" worth investing in?Those young beauties in Hong Kong
The two came to a corner, and Shi Nansheng smiled and said: "Mr. Yu is really young and promising. He makes a lot of money every time he makes a move, which is much better than the one in our family."

Yu Hao shook his head and said with a smile: "Compared to Director Xu, I'm far behind. I just play simple urban idol dramas. It's not worth mentioning. Director Xu is the one for us young people to learn from.

I still remember the classic plot in "The Swordsman", it was really a work of genius. "

Shi Nansheng smiled and said: "Mr. Yu, you are so humble. You are not bad either. You are so capable at such a young age."

After the two chatted for a while, Shi Nansheng solemnly said: "Yu Sheng, my family member is currently planning a movie with a mythological theme called "The Legend of Shushan".
He plans to make a real Chinese mythological movie. He also told me the general story. It is no longer about the love and love in the past, but about the common people, good and evil..."

Hearing this, Yu Hao raised his eyebrows and knew in his heart that it was indeed this movie.

The special effects and concepts of "The Legend of Shushan" are much more fairy-like and more like a fairy than those of later generations of fairy tales. Even the classic fairy tale "Legend of Sword and Fairy" is a bit less interesting compared to it.

It stands to reason that this movie should be an epoch-making masterpiece, and the special effects of the movie are even more advanced, so the box office should not be bad.

But unfortunately, the plot is confusing and the characters have no depth, resulting in this movie losing its pants.

It is said that the investment in this movie was almost 3000 million, and the combined box office in Mainland China, Hong Kong and Taiwan was only about [-] million. The European and American copyrights were sold for [-] million, which is not bad, but only one-third of the profit was earned.

This movie failed at the box office due to the right time, place and people. The opponents at the same time were also very strong. The most important thing was its own problems.

Thinking of this, Yu Hao couldn't help but think of the plot in "Love Apartment" where Lu Xiaobu and Dongfang Bubai fight against the Bauhinia Peak. That should be regarded as the pinnacle of Chinese special effects.

But it cost a lot. It is said that a 6-minute shot cost 600 million, but he felt it was worth it.

Then I thought of "The Storm" again. This movie should have started shooting recently, right?

It is also a special effects drama, but this film won the box office championship that year and is considered a relatively successful special effects film.

Don't think wrongly, he is not thinking about the heroine in the movie, he is thinking about the special effects company of this movie-Xiantao Digital Technology Co., Ltd.

This company's special effects should be a pioneer in China. Many science fiction scenes in classic Hong Kong and Taiwan movies were created by this company. In the early years, it was considered a good special effects company in China.

Immediately afterwards, I remembered Xie Biwang's special effects company - PO Chaoting. This company's special effects will be famous in China in later generations. It is said that this company can make at least [-] million in net profit a year.

Although Xie Biwang kept saying that he started it by selling his house, smashing the pot and selling iron, but if there were no people from Emperor, he didn't think Xie Biwang could start it by himself. It seems that most of the team members are people from Emperor's special effects department.

In addition, I heard that Emperor Yang’s boss has always had a good attitude towards the Mainland. Can he give it a try?

Emperor's artists must have the idea of ​​developing in the Mainland. Shuguang must be pretty good, so they have no choice but to cooperate, right? py's success rate should be high.

When the time comes to win over these two companies, the special effects department of our own company will have a foothold, and it will be one step ahead of others in the future. The special effects market in the future will be large and the profits will be huge.

After thinking about it for a while, I felt it was very feasible.

Seeing Yu Hao's thoughtful expression, Shi Nansheng thought he was thinking about whether to invest in a movie.

After a long time, he said with a smile: "Yu Sheng, I wonder how you are thinking about it? Do you want to invest?"

After Yu Hao came to his senses, he smiled and said: "The concept of the movie is very good, but the investment in special effects will not be less, right? If we spend less, the visual effects will be greatly reduced."

Shi Nansheng smiled and said: "That's natural. Our family member said that the special effects investment for this movie will be about 3000 million, and there will be no shortage of special effects shots. He is not the kind of director who spends investors' investment randomly.
I believe that with such advanced special effects, coupled with the actors' hard-working performances, the plot is not bad, the box office should not be bad, and it will definitely be a profitable business. "

Yu Hao complained in his heart that the initial price of 3000 million was true, but the hole got bigger and bigger. It cost about [-] million to complete the shooting. I don’t know if any of the investment bosses jumped off the building.

Then he said with a smile: "The box office needs to be at least [-] million to make back the original investment. I am very worried about this. If we look at the box office of movies in Hong Kong, Taiwan and Mainland China, very few can exceed [-] million.
What's more, it's a special effects film that Chinese people haven't seen very often, so I'm skeptical about this box office success. "

Shi Nansheng chuckled and said: "Yu Sheng, haven't you underestimated special effects films? The market for special effects films is not just domestic, there is a market in Japan, South Korea, Europe and the United States. In addition, it is not too small.

Moreover, this film will not only contain our domestic mythology, but also some foreign magical movie plots. I think audiences at home and abroad will accept it. "

Yu Hao chuckled when he heard this. Many great directors want to take into account the aesthetics of domestic and foreign audiences, but [-]% of them fail, and in the end they will end up with nothing special.

He smiled and said: "The story is good, but have you ever thought about dividing it into several parts? This will also flesh out the characters and delve into the depth of the plot."

Shi Nansheng frowned and said: "Shooting separately? This goes against our family's idea. He just wanted to show it through one film."

Yu Hao shook his head and smiled: "I'm sorry, I think the risk is too high, so I won't invest anymore. If you find someone suitable in the future, you can come back to me. I'm looking forward to the next cooperation with Director Xu."

When Shi Nansheng heard this, he couldn't help but frown, and then sighed heavily: "This is the only way, thank you Mr. Yu."

Yu Hao smiled and said: "That's right. Thank you Mr. Shi for asking me to cooperate."

Shi Nansheng left in disappointment, came to Chen Lan, poured himself a glass of wine, and drank it all in one gulp.

Seeing this scene, Chen Lan asked curiously: "Did he reject you?"

Shi Nansheng sighed and said, "Yes, he rejected me. I thought he wouldn't care about this at his age, but I didn't expect that he has a lot to think about at such a young age."

Chen Lan smiled and said: "Yes, I think so too. This little guy looks young, but his ideas are not what young people should have at all. What did he say? Is he looking down on him or something?"

Shi Nansheng shook his head and smiled bitterly: "I don't have any objections to the book. I just think it's too difficult to repay the investment. From what he said, it seems that he has objections to the plot, but it's a pity that he didn't say anything."

Chen Lan suddenly understood, then smiled and said: "It's normal for the little guy to be cautious. I estimate that he has only made about [-] million in more than a year. If he invests it all at once, not many people dare to do this."

Shi Nansheng smiled bitterly and said: "It's not that he needs to vote in full, he only needs to vote in part. I didn't expect that the little guy would be so cautious."

Chen Lan shook her head and smiled: "It's better to be cautious, otherwise..."

…………

Yu Hao didn't go back and just sat in the corner admiring the scenery.

I don’t know how long it took, but Yu Hao was tapped on the shoulder.

Then an excited voice was heard: "Yu Hao? Are you really Yu Hao?"

Yu Hao turned his head and saw that there were many people standing behind him, all of them beautiful women. The one who patted his shoulder was a young girl who looked very young.

Yu Hao glanced at everyone, and a hint of surprise suddenly flashed in his eyes.

He was familiar with most of the visitors, including Michelle Reis, Wan Qiwen, Yang Christine, Weng Hong, Huo Wenxi, Zhang Baizhi, Gillian, and Asha.Then his eyes lit up. The group of people in front of him should be regarded as representatives of the younger generation of beauties in Hong Kong.

But what surprised him was the way these people looked at him. The little girl had a starry face.

Many of the remaining people looked at him with very hot eyes and wished they could eat him directly.

The emotion in his eyes is very rich.

Being stared at by so many people, Yu Hao couldn't help but feel a thrill all over his body. Then he coughed and said, "Hello, beauties, I am Yu Hao, a young director."

The little girl smiled and said: "Director Yu, it's really you. I am Xie Tingting, and my father is Xie Xian. Let me introduce to you. This beauty is the legendary Michelle Reis, the most beautiful Hong Kong sister in Hong Kong."

Yu Hao stretched out his hand and said with a smile: "Hello, pretty girl. You are also very pretty. You will definitely be a great beauty in the future."

Xie Tingting giggled and said, "Really? I believe in your vision, Director Yu."

After seeing Yu Hao, Li Jiaxin stretched out her slender finger and said, "Hello, Yu Sheng, I'm Li Jiaxin. I just saw you chatting with Mrs. Xiang and Mr. Shi. I'm curious about what you are talking about? The new movie?"

Yu Hao smiled and said: "She is the most beautiful Hong Kong girl in Hong Kong. I have heard of Miss Li in mainland China. I was just talking to them about film investment, but unfortunately we didn't reach an agreement in the end."

Li Jiaxin held Yu Hao's hand, and then asked vaguely: "Mr. Yu, I wonder how much investment you have invested in the new movie you are talking about? Why didn't the agreement be reached?"

Yu Hao smiled and said: "More than 3000 million, it's not because of money. I'm not lacking in this aspect. It's mainly about the plot of the movie. We had different opinions, so we didn't reach an agreement."

To be honest, he is very yearning for the rumors of being Li Hugua and sleeping with Li Jiaxin. It seems that he can do both things. Now is an opportunity.

Sure enough, Li Jiaxin's eyes suddenly lit up when she heard Yu Hao's words.

A handsome and talented young director is already very attractive, but if he is also a rich man, it becomes even more attractive.

At the same time, she was thinking about the truth or falsehood of Yu Hao's words. According to her understanding, Yu Hao earned at least 6000 million from the two dramas. Although she didn't know how much Yu Hao had left in the end, it should be no less.

At least 3000 million a year is available, right?If you can earn this much every year, you will be a wealthy family in the future, which will be much better than those bad old men.

In addition, you can vaguely see Yu Hao's figure from under his shirt. Even if it doesn't work, he can still make it happen.

Thinking of this, he couldn't help but swallowed.

Yu Hao smiled and said: "Miss Li, why don't you introduce these people to me? They all seem to be quite familiar to me."

Seeing this, Li Jiaxin was not shy and said with a smile: "I am quite familiar with these people. Let me introduce to Mr. Yu. This is Wan Qiwen, who is now the leading actress of ATV."

Wan Qiwen extended her hand politely and said with a smile: "Yu Sheng, you are so handsome and very talented. I have admired Yu Sheng for a long time."

Yu Hao raised his eyebrows and said with a smile: "I have admired Miss Wan for a long time. It's a coincidence. I had a chat with Mr. Feng and Mr. Liu of ATV a few days ago, and we have initially reached a cooperation."

Wan Qiwen said in surprise: "What a coincidence. If there is a suitable drama in the future, I hope Mr. Yu will consider me. I would be very grateful."

Yu Hao smiled and said: "I will definitely consider it if I have the opportunity."

Seeing Wan Qiwen himself, Yu Hao was a little less interested in the idea of ​​replacing her role as Ma Xiaoling. It was not because of sex, but he just felt that if this role was replaced by someone else, would the charm be lost?

But this is not the time to consider this issue right now.

When Li Jiaxin heard this, the fire in her eyes increased a little more, and the smile on her face became brighter: "Yu Sheng, these two are Yang Christine and Weng Hong. They are also contracted artists of ATV now."

Seeing Yang Christine, Yu Hao couldn't help but smile. What a coincidence, the actors playing Ma Xiaoling and Wang Zhenzhen were both present.

As for Weng Hong?The film that impressed Yu Hao most deeply about her was "Zhu Bajie", and he immediately thought of Chen Xin.

Bah, what did the Prime Minister think?

Yu Hao stretched out his hand and said with a smile: "Hello, you two, ATV is really full of talents. All the beauties like you are gathered in ATV. This is rare in our mainland."

Yang Jingru smiled and said: "Mr. Yu, you're welcome. I heard that the beauties in the dramas produced by your company are no worse than us at ATV."

Weng Hong also smiled and said: "Yes, I think Director Yu is even more powerful. One film can make so many newcomers famous, which is rare in Hong Kong."

Yu Hao laughed and said: "It's okay, it's just like that, not as good as ATV's background."

Li Jiaxin smiled and said: "Mr. Yu is being humble. ATV has the ability of ATV, and Mr. Yu is not bad either. This is the heroine of Xing Zai's recent movie "The King of Comedy" - Zhang Baizhi."

At this time, Zhang Baizhi looked not as moist as he would be in later generations, and his face was full of collagen and shyness.

Zhang Baizhi said timidly: "Hello, Director Yu, my name is Zhang Baizhi."

Seeing her, the photos that came to Yu Hao's mind were those classic photos. As for tattoos, he didn't know.

Yu Hao smiled and said: "Hello, Miss Zhang. I think Miss Zhang is definitely a talented actor. If she develops well, it will only be a matter of time before she wins the Best Actress Award in the future."

Zhang Boyi asked with a surprised look on his face: "Director Yu really thinks so?"

Yu Hao nodded and said: "Why did I lie to you? Never doubt a director's vision. Miss Zhang, do you still have the idea of ​​​​filming, singing, and singing?"

Speaking of singing, the song "Star Language and Star Wishes" seemed to have come to Yu Hao's ears. It was pretty good.

Zhang Baizhi said sheepishly: "I plan to give it a try."

After saying that, he bit his lip and stepped aside, looking very embarrassed.

Seeing this, Li Jiaxin's eyes flashed with surprise, and then she said with a smile: "Mr. Yu, this is Emperor's agent - Huo Wenxi, these two are Emperor's group artists Gillian and Asha."

Huo Wenxi extended his hand generously and said with a smile: "Hello, Mr. Yu. I am Huo Wenxi. I have long admired Mr. Yu's name."

Yu Hao held her hand and smiled: "I have also admired Miss Huo's name for a long time. I am very attracted to Miss Huo's ability. I wonder if Miss Huo has any thoughts of changing jobs? Our Shuguang Company's treatment for Miss Huo will definitely not be bad. .”

Huo Wenxi said with a smile: "Mr. Yu has given me too much praise. I am very satisfied with the treatment Mr. Yang has given me. I have no thoughts of changing jobs yet. I will introduce these two people around me to Mr. Yu."
