China Entertainment: Been working as a director since 03

Chapter 356: Problems that money can solve are not problems
"I'm afraid there will be a sequel not only to the mythical universe, but also to the series "The Great Wall", right? The end of this script only mentions Zulong's daughter guarding the border, and it hasn't really entered the main story yet!"

Da Tiantian can see that the plot of "The Great Wall" cannot be completed in one movie.

She can also see that most of the plots in the first part are paving the way for the second part and the mythical universe.

"Tiantian, you are getting smarter and smarter, you can see it.

According to my idea, "The Great Wall" would definitely be better divided into two parts.

Using only one movie would be too dense of information, and the movie would not be long enough.

But if it is divided into two parts, a lot more investment will be required.

Also, the audience doesn't seem to like the idea of ​​dividing the movie into two parts.

After all, no one likes to be titillated, and everyone wants to watch a movie in one sitting and enjoy it in one sitting. "

To be honest, Li Yu is now a bit confused whether to divide it into two parts or combine it into one.

3 million was thrown into Li Yu's face in such an understatement.

Problems like this that can be solved with money are not a problem for me. My uncle and I promised back then that we would invest hundreds of millions for you to make "The Great Wall".

4 million to 5 million is a very big number for Li Yu, who already has a net worth of ten digits.

Because of this, Li Yu was a little confused whether to make one part or divide it into two parts.

Xu Ke, known as Mr. Xu, is very ambitious. Decades ago, he made the pioneer of Chinese fairy-tale movies, "New Shushan Swordsman". Jumping level.

I will go back to my uncle and ask him to invest 3 million for you. The remaining one or two billion can be easily handled with your current influence. "

Da Tiantian has helped Li Yu secure 3 million, and Li Yu will invest part of the remaining 2 million himself. He can also ask industry giants such as China Film and Television to get a part of it, and there is no need to find third-party investors.

"Li Yu, I understand, I understand everything. You are worried that our country has never had a successful mythological film before. The investment in two parts is too high, and it will scare away investors, right?"

Fortunately, Li Yu doesn't have special habits like SM, otherwise he would have knelt down and called Queen Tiantian.

If you have money, you can be really tough with your words.

"Let me ask you something, what is your expected performance for our two "The Great Wall" films?"

Because it is a bit too risky, and the investment figure of four to five billion is too large.

Li Yu couldn't help but sigh once again that he really hugged Da Tiantian's thigh correctly. It was really too cunning and inhumane.

Divided into two parts, the upper and lower parts, open hands and feet to work, the investment is at least 4 to 5 million.

His heart must be divided into two parts, but the capital market may not support it.

It can be said that if Li Yu wants to move forward in a track that no one has succeeded before, even if he is already one of the top directors in the country, capital and investors may be hesitant.

Unwilling to give up, Xu Ke filmed "The Legend of Shushan" again in 2001, but the results were disappointing again, again like throwing himself into the sea.

The biggest problem of investment was basically solved, so Da Tiantian asked about the expected film performance that she was most concerned about.

In addition, Li Yu is starting a brand new myth series this time. In this field, no domestic director has ever succeeded.

Da Tiantian spoke with confidence and without any hesitation.

Only one film will be made, and the investment can be controlled at around 3 million.

Li Yu's ability to predict the future is recognized by Chen Kaige and the majority of netizens.

Da Tiantian also experienced it personally, and she believed in Li Yu's prediction.

"The foreshadowing in the upper part is the most important. I plan to introduce to the audience a mythological system that I have constructed in the upper part, laying a solid foundation for the lower part and the future mythological universe.

The investment in the upper part will not be too high, up to 2 million, and it may not even cost 2 million. In terms of results, I personally think it will be successful if the upper half has 5 to 6 million, and it will be fine if the upper half suffers a small loss.

If the results of the first part can meet my expectations, I am confident that the second part will surpass the record set by "Man Jiang Hong". As for how much it will exceed, it is hard to say. "

This is Li Yu's vision for the "Great Wall" series.

A small loss in the upper part is considered a victory. By the way, there is another prerequisite. While the upper part suffers a small loss, the audience’s reputation must be good.

If there is a small loss and a lot of scolding, then the lower part is likely to fall into the street.

In general, it is very difficult to achieve both performance and reputation as expected.

But it’s precisely because it’s difficult that it’s challenging, isn’t it?

Da Tiantian had a happy smile on her face after getting the answer.

She believed Li Yu's words unconditionally, and she was already looking forward to the grand occasion on the day "The Great Wall" was released.

The "Great Wall" series is different from the "Guandu" series.

The heroine in the "Guandu" series is completely a vase. With her, she adds a bit of color to the movie, but without her, it will not affect the plot of the movie at all.

"The Great Wall" is different. In "The Great Wall", she plays the daughter of Zulong and the princess of the Qin Dynasty. She is the absolute leading female role. Her role is very important.

"The Great Wall" series is a success, and her achievements in the film industry will be greater than those in her previous career combined.

Da Tiantian took the script for the first part of "The Great Wall" and went back to discuss it with her uncle without stopping.

Her uncle did not hesitate at all, and his generosity was exactly the same as that of Tiantian: "Tiantian, we agreed many years ago to invest several hundred million for Director Li to shoot "The Great Wall."

It’s only 3 million. We can’t break our promise. Since you have agreed to invest, let’s invest. "

Uncle thinks it's only 3 million, which is nothing to worry about. It's okay for Da Tiantian not to discuss it with him.

The investment in "The Great Wall" in his previous life exceeded 10 billion. Although there was some investment from American film and television companies, the money invested by him and Da Tiantian definitely exceeded the 3 million figure.

Otherwise, with Da Tiantian’s celebrity status at the time, how could she have played the heroine in a huge Chinese-Milan co-production, with Zhang Yingmou as the director and a Hollywood superstar playing the male lead?

In addition, in the previous life of "The Great Wall", Da Tiantian rushed to the street all the way, and after rushing n times, she once again spent money to get a role.

I have made so many investments and still have so much capital.

Nowadays, Tiantian has never pounced. Starlight has earned one or two small goals by relying on investment projects such as the "Guandu" series and "Bu Bu Jingxin".

Originally, Da Tiantian entered the industry with the goal of losing a ten-digit budget and then returning home to inherit the family business.

After working for so many years, not only did I not lose a penny, but I also made a lot of money. You may say it is irritating or not.

Therefore, the 3 million invested in "The Great Wall" is really nothing. Even if it is all lost, it will not make a penny back. Da Tiantian still has a lot of budget to squander.

What's more, both Da Tiantian and her uncle agree that the "Great Wall" series will not fail.

Li Yu's outstanding historical achievements are there. As Li Yu's old acquaintances, they have great confidence in Li Yu.

That night, Da Tiantian called Li Yu and said that her uncle had agreed to invest money, and 3 million yuan was a lot.

Not many days later, such a rumor appeared in the film industry.

"The "The Great Wall" project that has been in the dust for several years has finally been launched, and the film directed by Director Li himself is here again. According to insiders, Starlight Company has signed a cooperation agreement with Director Li's Hualiu Company, and an investment of 3 million has been put in place. ”

As soon as this rumor came out, it was no surprise that it became the most watched event in the entire Chinese film industry that day.
