As promised, Xiao Xianrou, will you play the suona in the haunted house?

"Take the earth to wander?"

Several big investors listened to the weekend's description and began to daydream about it.

Every man has a science fiction dream hidden in his heart.

The brilliant starry sky and the brilliant Milky Way, the ultimate romance in the universe, have appeared countless times in the hearts of every young man.

The description of the weekend is full of some magic, bringing the thoughts of these big investors into the story of the wandering earth.

When the sun rapidly ages and expands, the earth will fall into a desperate situation and be swallowed by the sun at any time. In order to save itself, mankind proposed a plan called "The Wandering Earth".

Humanity has tried its best to build tens of thousands of planetary engines on the surface of the earth to push the earth to escape from the solar system and find a new home.

Half an hour later, the weekend stopped telling, but several big investors were still immersed in the story full of disasters and struggles.

"The Wandering Earth Project!"

Deng Shiquan was the first to recover from his fantasy. He looked at the newcomer in his company with bright eyes and couldn't help but let out a long sigh.

He now regrets not discovering the brilliant talent of the weekend earlier.

"The story is indeed exciting, but the cost of shooting such a movie must be huge. If it is to be shot, how much production cost will it cost?"

At this time, the middle-aged man next to Deng Shiquan also spoke.

"The preliminary budget is about [-] million."

I glanced at him over the weekend. According to Deng Shiquan, this middle-aged man’s surname was Zhang, and his identity was the chairman of China Film Group.

three billion.

Upon hearing this figure, several investors present were in an uproar and were speechless.

Although there has never been a shortage of commercial blockbusters in China's film market in recent years, the number of films with real investment exceeding [-] million yuan is only a handful.

Weekend opened his mouth with a budget of [-] million. Even these investors who have seen the big world have to admire Weekend for really daring to speak out!
Moreover, what I mentioned over the weekend is only the production cost, not including publicity expenses.

Generally speaking, a movie with a production cost of [-] million yuan will need at least [-] million to [-] million yuan in publicity. In some cases, the publicity cost is even higher than the production cost.

The total cost of production plus the budget required for publicity is at least [-] million.

An investment of [-] million yuan, even if divided into several investors, is still a sum of money that needs careful consideration.

"If you want to shoot "Ghost Blowing the Lantern 2", I believe that [-] million is a lot, and those of us here will definitely be willing to put it together... But as for a science fiction film, I need to reconsider it. "

"Yeah, after all, our money didn't come from strong winds. No one can guarantee what the box office of science fiction movies will be in the end. I don't dare to give you tens of millions as a guinea pig."

"In the Chinese film market, there have been no successful cases of science fiction films. This is really too risky."

Among the investors present, except for Deng Shiquan and the chairman of China Film Group, they were eventually scared off by the weekend's boldness.

Weekend has probably already guessed this result. These investors are basically here to make money. None of them dare to conclude that the movie will make money after it is produced, so it is natural for them not to invest.

Businesses are not done in a righteous way. Although no funds were obtained, the atmosphere in the VIP room was still quite harmonious.

An hour later, when Weekend and Yang Sisi were sending these investors off in person, these people still showed their appreciation for Weekend and praised Weekend for daring to think and do.

Anyway, it's just a few nice words, and it doesn't cost them anything.

Of course, the gains are not entirely without success.

Weekend's boss, Deng Shiquan, chairman of Mangxing Entertainment, said something to Weekend before leaving.

"If your science fiction dream can be successfully established, I can invest tens of millions in you then. It doesn't matter even if you lose, since we are all members of my family anyway."

"By the way, your contract with the company is about to expire... When will you return to Puhai and come to the company, let's talk about renewing the contract."

Deng Shiquan patted Zhou Xing on the shoulder as if he were his nephew.

Zhou Zhou also knew the meaning behind his words. His investment of tens of millions was probably not for the movie, but for the person himself.

As long as Weekend is willing to renew his contract with the company, he is willing to spend tens of millions to invest in Weekend.

"Then I'll thank the boss first, and I'll report to the company later."

Weekend nodded to Deng Shiquan, his boss is already very interesting.

In addition to Deng Shiquan, the chairman of China Film Group also gave the weekend a business card.

"The phone number on the business card is my personal phone number. I am quite interested in your plan to wander the earth. Please tell me your specific thoughts later."

After receiving the business card over the weekend, he was flattered and took out one of his own business cards and gave it to the other person, saying that he would bother him if he had time.

After sending away the group of investors, the celebration banquet basically ended successfully.

Weekend and Yang Sisi generously prepared red envelopes and hand gifts for everyone in the crew, making them happy to come and go back.

When Guo Fan went back, he didn't dare to take a taxi back because he had more than 1000 million in his pocket. He had to call back and ask his wife to pick him up.

"Brother, you are a little too cautious, isn't it just a red envelope?"

Lei Jiayin is also a member of the protagonist group, so he naturally received a red envelope, a check for 50 yuan.

For a newcomer who has not yet graduated, this red envelope is almost ten times his salary.

However, the Lei family's family background was pretty good. Although 50 was a lot, it would not frighten him if it was carried in his pocket, so he scoffed at Guo Fan's caution.

Guo Fan was too lazy to pay attention to Lei Jiayin's teasing. Lei Jiayin probably thought that his red envelope was similar to his.

After Guo Fan and Lei Jiayin waited on the roadside for more than half an hour in the night wind, Guo Fan's wife finally arrived.

"You are really capable. Others drive their own cars to pick up their wives. It's better for you to ask your wife to pick you up, so you are not afraid of others laughing at you."

After Guo Fan's wife got out of the car, she gave Guo Fan a hard look.

"Sister-in-law, do you know what I admire most about my senior brother?"

Lei Jiayin crawled into the back row and got close to Guo Fan's wife.

"What do you admire about him?"

Although Guo Fan's wife was very talkative, she still asked happily after hearing Lei Jiayin say that she admired her husband.

"I admire how lucky he is to find a wife like you, sister-in-law!"

"Hahaha, that's right. I don't know why I was so confused in the first place that I identified your senior brother."

Lei Jiayin's compliment made Guo Fan's wife smile happily and took the initiative to send Lei Jiayin to the hotel.

On the way back to Lei Jiayin, Guo Fan's wife also learned that there were red envelopes available at tonight's celebration banquet, so when she got home, she still praised Zhou Zhen and Yang Sisi for being good people.

Of course, it was logical to ask how much Guo Fan’s red envelope was. "The big head is a supporting actor and he got 50 yuan. You can't get less than him, right?"

Guo Fan studied directing after graduating from college. He didn't have much savings after working for several years. After starting a family, he relied on his wife's salary to support the family's expenses.

Although his wife had never complained, her relatives would often mock Guo Fan for his lack of ability and for relying on his wife to support him.

"Honey, sit down first. I told you, don't be scared."

Guo Fan was finally able to feel proud in front of his wife, and his whole body became elated.

"How much does it cost, and it still scares me? I don't want you to have any dreams of getting rich, just live a stable life."

Guo Fan's wife rolled her eyes and said angrily.

"There are 1000 and two million in it."

Hearing what his wife said, Guo Fan couldn't help but blush. He really underestimated his wife, so he stopped showing off and took out the envelope directly.

"How many?"

Looking at the envelope on the table, Guo Fan's wife almost thought she had heard wrongly, with a look of surprise and disbelief.

"1000 to two million, doesn't scare you, does it?"

Guo Fan looked at the shocked expression on his wife's face, and couldn't help feeling secretly happy.

He now somewhat understands why successful people since ancient times like to return home after becoming rich.

"You won't be cheated, will you? 1000 or two million? Why can't I see that you are worth so much money?"

Guo Fan's wife was frightened by this number and became suspicious.

"I've checked it secretly, and it's indeed 1000 or two million."

Guo Fan said with great certainty, but his wife didn't believe it and insisted on calling the bank. After finally confirming the deposit, she praised Guo Fan highly.

Although Guo Fan feels in his heart that his wife is not a person who loves money, money can indeed bring something different to women.

For example, that night, after seeing the many zeros behind the deposit, when the couple had a small meeting, he clearly felt that his wife was much more interested than usual, and she even took the initiative to help him learn some new things. posture.

Therefore, Guo Fan is very grateful to the weekend in his heart. It is the weekend that has given him personal value again.

The next day.

Guo Fan felt refreshed after eating breakfast cooked by his wife before going to meet her on the weekend.

"Hey, why do you look different from usual today? Your face is full of red."

Weekend glanced at Guo Fan and teased him with a half-smile.

Guo Fan blushed and said, "Maybe the yin and yang are in harmony!"

Weekend laughed out loud, and after a few jokes, he got down to business.

"I plan to set up my own film company, what do you think?"

After finishing speaking, Weekend looked at Guo Fan with interest.

In fact, the plan to set up his own company has already been made over the weekend, but his contract with Mangxing has not expired yet, so it has not been put on the agenda.

Now the contract is only half a month old, and the success of "Ghost Blowing the Lamp" has also made him a lot of money, so this plan has naturally begun to be implemented.

But now we have money, but no manpower.

After Guo Fan was stunned for a second, he quickly reacted.

"This is a good thing. I don't know if your company is still short of people. How about I recommend myself?"

Guo Fan had long made up his mind to follow Zhou Xing. As soon as he heard that he would set up his own company, he immediately expressed his stance.

Moreover, since he has established his own company over the weekend, his next movie plan will of course be produced in the name of the company, and he will definitely leave the next movie to his own people to direct.

So Guo Fan directly expressed his attitude without even thinking about it.

Hearing Guo Fan's words on the weekend, he smiled with satisfaction. It seemed that yesterday's red envelope was not in vain.

Zhou Yu hit Huang Gai, one was willing to hit, the other was willing to suffer, and the two quickly reached an agreement.

Since Guo Fan expressed his attitude, he also revealed some inside information to him over the weekend.

The name of the next movie is "The Wandering Earth".

Hearing this name, Guo Fan's eyes suddenly became extremely hot.

In Guo Fan's heart, his biggest dream as a director is to make a film that will make the whole world look at Chinese science fiction movies with admiration.

So when he heard that the "Wandering Earth" project was going to be launched at the weekend, he almost jumped up in excitement.

"Boss, I promise you, I will use all my enthusiasm to make this film."

"Don't get excited yet. I told you a long time ago that this movie will be a long and arduous process."

Weekend smiled at Guo Fan and asked him to calm down before continuing: "Before the project is approved, I plan to let you go to Ameirika for further training."

"Although you have grown a lot during the filming of "Ghost Blowing the Lamp", it is not enough."

"So I'm going to send you to Hollywood to study for a period of time, especially in post-production. The industrialization of Hollywood is indeed much more mature than that of China. You have to go and learn more."

This idea came to me during the weekend when I was on the phone with the chairman of China Film Group last night.

The chairman of China Film Group revealed to the weekend that China will exchange a group of emerging directors to study in Amei Rika. At that time, Weekend remembered that Guo Fan in his previous life completed his career after studying in Amei Rika. Transformed.

Therefore, it can be seen that I should still be able to learn something from this further training.

So he was not polite on the weekend, so he asked the chairman of China Film Group for a spot and decided to send Guo Fan out for further study.

"Boss, you are quite a nice person."

When Guo Fan heard that there was such a once-in-a-lifetime opportunity, he was suddenly moved and became more determined to have fun with the weekend.

As a director, he certainly knows what a rare opportunity it is to go to Hollywood for further study.

I didn't expect that my boss would give me such a big reward on the first day I joined the company on the weekend. Is this the treatment for company veterans?

He made up his mind that in the future, he would fight with anyone who competed with him for the position of being the number one henchman on the weekend.

"Okay, then you go back and prepare yourself. It may take several months this time."

Weekend smiled, he was very satisfied with Guo Fan's attitude. Of course, the most important thing he took a fancy to was Guo Fan's potential. (End of chapter)
