China Entertainment: Been working as a director since 03

Chapter 402: Fortunately, my surname is not Lu and I don’t have a foster father

"I heard that you are going to direct and star in a modern military film. I can invest in this film."

Da Tiantian’s main theme is that a person is very rich, and he gets straight to the point right away.

This sentence directly shocked Wu Jing who was sitting opposite him.

He had seen people who didn't play by the rules, but this was the first time he had seen someone as willful as Da Tiantian.

Isn’t the normal process of investing to first understand the specific matters and then decide whether to invest?
My goodness, the first thing he said when he came up was that he wanted to invest money.

This speed is too fast for him.

"Ms. Jing, how about we talk about the movie first? You haven't heard me introduce the details of this movie yet."

Wu Jing had a feeling that it was not real at this moment.

"No need. I already know your situation. Besides, if your introduction of your own movie was useful, you wouldn't have spent so much time trying to attract investors without a single person willing to invest in you."

Da Tiantian said softly.

"..."

Wu Jing showed an embarrassed look on his face, which hurt his heart.

Like many directors who have difficulty attracting investment, he prepared a lot of materials and speech lines to convince investors, but in the end, none of them worked.

Because in the end there was only one person willing to invest in the movie "Wolf Warrior", and that person was his good friend.

He made up the rest by mortgaging his family's property.

"It seems that Miss Jing knows my situation very well."

Wu Jing was very embarrassed and said something nonsense out of embarrassment.

Because he felt it would be more embarrassing not to speak at this time.

"Because it was Li Yu who asked me to invest in you, he asked me to collect all your information before investing in you.

As a result, I found that you are quite miserable. Others become actors if they are good at singing, and directors if they are good at acting.

You simply don’t have anyone to ask you to make a movie, so you have to change your career and become a director and make your own movies.”

Da Tiantian thought that Wu Jing's reason for changing his job was unique in the entertainment industry.

Wu Jing looked surprised.

Why is there still the matter of Li Yu?

It was Li Yu who persuaded Da Tiantian to invest in him?
Is this Li Yu really the Li Yu he thinks he is?
Or is it just a person with the same name?
He found it incredible that one of China's top directors would notice a new director like him.

Unbelievable, he couldn't help but ask Da Tiantian: "Miss Jing, excuse me, is the Li Yu you mentioned the famous director Li Yu we all know?

I asked this because I didn't expect that the famous Director Li would pay attention to a small figure like me in the director world."

At the end, Wu Jing's tone was a little self-deprecating.

He is already an out-of-date actor. Normally, not to mention that directors of Li Yu's level would notice him and ask people to invest in him, it is very difficult for him to get a good role in a movie directed by Li Yu's level.

He is no longer the second Li Lianjie that Yuan Heping had hoped for, and the leading male role in other people's movies has nothing to do with him at all.

"Isn't he the only person I know with the name Li Yu?"

Da Tiantian asked back.

She has a high emotional intelligence. She can understand why Wu Jing asked this and can also understand Wu Jing's mentality.

“It’s normal for Li Yu to know you, he has mentioned many times in interviews before that he grew up watching Hong Kong movies.

The last time he mentioned you to me, he said he had seen your first film in Hong Kong, "Kung Fu Kids".

He also said that you were right to try the military-style genre because your acting skills are really not that good.

Apart from the kung fu movies that you are best at, it is easy for people to be distracted when you shoot other genres.

But now Kung Fu movies have completely declined, and traditional Kung Fu movies are definitely no longer popular.

Using the military as a cover to shoot your best kung fu movies is a very good choice. "

"!!!" Wu Jing was really shocked. He was so shocked that he didn't know what to say for a moment.

He made military films because they have a lot of action scenes, which can make good use of his strengths.

However, this did not receive positive feedback from the market and the audience, and his "Wolf Tooth" ended in failure.

Through what Da Tiantian conveyed, he found that Li Yu actually agreed with his idea.

Li Yu's vision is well-known in the circle.

For example, if a stock you bought is recognized by a famous leader in the industry, it will undoubtedly give you a lot of confidence.

This is the case with Wu Jing now. Li Yu recognizes his ideas, which gives him enough confidence in the future.

"If I have the chance, I really want to talk to Director Li in person."

Wu Jing's expression showed a hint of longing.

“There will be a chance, otherwise he wouldn’t have let me invest in your Wolf Warrior.

Let’s get back to the topic of investment. 70 million should be about right?

Let’s set it at 70 million for now, let’s shoot first, and then we’ll add more if it’s not enough.”

He said he was discussing investment with Wu Jing, but in fact Wu Jing didn't have a chance to speak during the whole process.

Before Wu Jing could say how much money he wanted, Da Tiantian had already made a '7' gesture with her fingers.

"That's enough, no need to add more."

Wu Jing couldn't help but sigh that it was really pleasant to work with the rich man.

He had previously been looking for investors to raise investment, and his idea was to get 50 million in investment, and if the rest was not enough, he would raise it himself.

Military-themed movies have always been relatively expensive. Take the very common explosion scenes for example. If you want the effects to be realistic and shocking, you have to spend a lot of money, and every NG will cost a lot of money.

70 million is just the right amount to make a movie like "Wolf Warrior". If it's any lower, it would easily turn into a shoddy and bad movie.

"Wolf Warrior" in the original time and space was also filmed with almost the same number.

Wu Jing's friend's company invested 50 million yuan, and Wu Jing mortgaged his own property to pay for part of it.

This time, Da Tiantian's generosity meant that Wu Jing no longer had to mortgage his property.

"Ms. Jing will probably be in Wolf Warrior, right?"

The investment matter was settled, and Wu Jing turned around and asked this question.

There is no role suitable for Da Tiantian in "Wolf Warrior". If Wu Jing wants to put Da Tiantian in it, he has to change the script.

He didn't dare tell Da Tiantian not to take part in the performance because the other party was the financial sponsor.

If you dare to talk to your financial sponsor like this, then be prepared to be left penniless when your financial sponsor withdraws his investment.

Wu Jing racked his brains for a long time but couldn't come up with a solution.

But what Da Tiantian said next made him realize what it meant to worry about nothing.

"I don't plan to act in this movie. I've asked Li Yu to help me with the decision. He said there's no role suitable for me in the movie. He also said that if I played the role of the female squadron leader, the audience would want to laugh."

Da Tiantian's answer dispelled all Wu Jing's concerns.

Li Yu asked Da Tiantian to invest in Wu Jing because of Wu Jing's next movie, which was not "Wolf Warrior" at all.

These sweethearts know it clearly in their hearts.

Although she really wants to make a movie, she is not stupid enough to force herself to play a role in the movie, which would cause the quality of the movie to plummet.

She is not the Da Tiantian who was numb to failure. Now she is the Da Tiantian who has never failed and she is very careful about her reputation.

Wu Jing was so moved that he couldn't express it in words.

Director Li is as kind as a mountain to someone!
Not only did he persuade the wealthy Da Tiantian to invest in him, he even kindly told Da Tiantian that there was no role suitable for her in the movie and asked her not to participate.

Fortunately, he has no adoptive father and he is not Chu Fengxian, otherwise he would really have the idea of ​​bringing some gifts to meet Li Yu next time.
