The Crown Prince of Huayu!

Chapter 71 I’ll give you million (please follow up)
I flipped through it casually, and it turned out to be the movie "Crazy Stone".

However, there are many places that are slightly different.

For example, the classic line "I'll beat your lungs out" is not in the script yet.

It was probably added impromptu during filming later.

There are also many things that are not included in the movie.

Han Jiadong made a few suggestions from memory, including movie titles, which immediately attracted Ning Hao's praise and almost made him a confidant.

After Han Jiadong read it briefly, he closed the script.

"How much will it cost to make this movie for you?"

"Six hundred... no, five million is enough."

Ning Hao said with a touch of bitterness on his face.

No one invested 1 million in "Green Grass". This one costs 5 million. Where can I get this investment?
Han Jiadong made a secret calculation and said, "I'll give you 30 million, are you confident that you can get your money back?"

Ning Hao swallowed and looked at him dumbfounded: "How much?"

Not only him, but also Tong Liya was dumbfounded.

They only need five million, so why do you give me more than twenty million?

Han Jiadong repeated it again: "Thirty million, half of which will be used to invite celebrities from Hong Kong, and the rest will be used for filming and publicity."

Ning Hao swallowed again and stared at Han Jiadong with wide eyes: "Junior brother, who are you?"

The last time Han Jiadong gave out 100,000 yuan for free, it was still within his understanding. He thought that this junior brother had a good family background, but this 30 million yuan...

Not to mention ordinary families, even the top film and television companies in the country have to think carefully about spending this money!
Yue Xiaojun next to him looked at Han Jiadong and suddenly said: "Are you the director Han Jiadong of "Shoplifters" and "Xiuchungdao"?"

Ning Hao was confused: "Isn't that called Han Jiadong?"

"Changed! Now my name is Han Jiadong!"

Another friend reminded him.

Then everyone turned their attention to Han Jiadong.

Under their gaze, Han Jiadong nodded: "It's me."

Quiet!

The whole table was filled with pairs of wide-eyed eyes.

It was so quiet that only the music from the bar and the noise of the people around were left.

Tong Liya looked at their reactions and suddenly wanted to laugh.

Also, when I first met the director, didn't I dare not imagine that he was the director?
After a long time, Ning Hao asked a little stupidly: "Master... uh... Director Han Han, are you sure you want to invest? Do you want to invest 30 million?"

"You should call me Junior Brother."

Han Jiadong smiled: "But I'm not the one to vote. I'll be the matchmaker for you. You go and talk to them yourself."

In the previous life, this movie was under the Asia Rising Star Director Program and was funded by Andy Lau.

The investment amount was three million, plus Ning Hao threw in his director's fee, and his friends chipped in. In the end, it cost a total of three and a half million to film.

I still didn’t use the film that Ning Hao was so obsessed with. I still shot it digitally and then converted it into film after shooting, so in terms of picture quality, it’s not that satisfying.

At that time, the total investment of Asia's new star directors was 25 million Hong Kong dollars. The Hong Kong dollar at that time was worth more than the RMB. After conversion, it was more than 26 million, which was used to invest in six movies by six people. Ning Hao got Investment is minimal.

But this does not mean that Andy Lau is not optimistic about this movie.

As Liu Dehua said in the interview, the feeling when I saw this movie was like arranging a blind date at home, only to find out that the blind date was Jun Ji-hyun.

Definitely a surprise among surprises.

It's just that he has confidence in movies, but not in the mainland market.

Because back then, there were less than ten mainland movies that could earn over 10 million in box office in a year.

Ning Hao is a newcomer, can his movies be among the top ten in Mainland China? But Han Jiadong was not worried.

Although the final box office of "Crazy Stone" in the previous life was less than 30 million, in terms of quality, it is definitely not worse than the box office champion "The City of Gold" that year.

The final box office of "City of Golden Armor" was close to 300 million!

However, these two movies are not of the same genre and are difficult to compare. Zhang Yimou's reputation is definitely not comparable to that of a newcomer like Ning Hao.

In comparison, the genre of "A World Without Thieves" is more similar to "Crazy Stone".

They all focus on small characters and some trivial things. There are no big scenes, and there is no unique picture color like Zhang Yimou's movies, and then some comedy elements are added...

Except for the director, "Crazy Stone" can be said to be better than "A World Without Thieves" in every aspect.

In this case, "Crazy Stone" can be made into a blockbuster film according to the model of "A World Without Thieves".

Otherwise, the box office will only be 30 to 40 million, and such a good book will be wasted.

"How is it? Are you confident?"

Han Jiadong asked again.

Compared to his calmness, Ning Hao's mouth was a little dry at this time. He picked up the wine in front of him to moisten his throat and said with a wry smile: "I have never seen so much money in my life. I want to say that I have it." Confidence, I certainly wouldn’t even believe it myself.”

"It's okay, I have confidence in you."

Han Jiadong's voice was very soft and fell in Ning Hao's ears, but it made him feel like crying.

No, I have already cried.

It felt like there was sand in my eyes, and tears couldn't stop pouring out.

Since the first time he made a movie four or five years ago, has he ever made a movie without begging his grandfather and grandma to sue him?

But you can only raise tens of thousands to tens of thousands, and in the end you have to fill in the money yourself. Have you ever met someone who is so generous and trusts you so much?

"Is it okay to use Liu Dehua as the male protagonist?"

Han Jiadong thought for a moment and asked again.

"Okay, that's great!"

Ning Hao wiped his face: "Can we really invite Liu Dehua?"

"Yes, but you have to make sure to finish filming before summer vacation."

The winter vacation hasn't even started yet, and there's still half a year left before the summer vacation. If it can really hit 30 million, there's no guarantee of a box office, but Ning Hao is still confident that it will be completed within half a year.

"Okay, I agree!"

"You can decide other roles yourself. At least one or two more Hong Kong stars will be invited."

Han Jiadong mused that at this time, there are only a few Hong Kong stars with box office appeal in the mainland.

In addition to the double-digit Mondays, only Jet Li, Nicholas Tse, and Andy Lau are the only ones left.

Among them, there is no need to consider Double Weekly Cheng and Jet Li at all.

Either they can’t be invited, or they just can’t afford it.

Tse Tingfeng had another incident of beating Xiao Bailong before. He was fine with the one who was more ruthless, but the other one was banned.

So after all the calculations, Liu Dehua is the best choice from every aspect.

The rest, Jin Chengwu, Aaron Kwok, Liang Chaowei, Liang Jiahui, Wu Yanzu, Zhen Zhuan, etc. are much different, and the prices are relatively cheaper.

Liu Qingyun, Zhang Jiahui, Yam Dahua and others have negligible box office appeal in the mainland at this time.

Ning Hao was troubled after hearing this: "Well... I may not be able to invite them!"

Han Jiadong thought about it and said, "Let's do this. I'll give you the title of producer, and you can use my name to invite people. I believe that except for those who can't afford to invite, there will be no others." Reject you."

Ning Hao was suspicious. Although this junior brother had won many awards and made a lot of money in Hollywood, he wouldn't let those Hong Kong stars with their nostrils turn upward so much, right?
