Entertainment: Starting With A Net Worth Of One Trillion, I Chose To Lie Flat

It can only be said that when he first saw this name, Chen Mo really woke up.

Because Chen Mo actually liked this movie very much.

If we follow what Director Jiang Wen said in Let the Bullets Fly.

That's really it, just standing and making money.

There are many directors who basically hover between the categories of art films and commercial films.

Because if they don't pay attention to the audience's mentality, they won't be able to shoot according to the audience's preferences.

You can't make money, or it's hard to make the money you want.

If you can't make money, you won't be able to make another movie.

Therefore, a vicious circle is formed.

This is why there are very few good directors, and they are basically the only ones who stay after making waves.

But sometimes it is too close to the audience's views, which often deviates from the director's original intention.

This is why there are so many bad movies.

But this is Life of Pi.

Not only is it very modern in terms of artistic presentation, but it is also a 3dmax movie viewing experience.

The stories he tells are also polarized.

What is shown and what the director wants to express are completely two levels of connotation.

So actually just read the script.

Still quite boring.

That's why it's so hard to find investors.

Because most bosses actually don’t understand movies.

They just want to make money.

If this project cannot make money, then it does not make much sense to these bosses.

So it's like an art film.

Basically, they are collectively called literary films, and the investment in literary films is basically very small.

Because if you invest too much, it means there is a high probability of losing money.

"Do you like this story?" Director Li Yin silently watched Chen Mo's emotional changes.

"Of course I like it. The story is good. I can give you an investment of 200 million."

The welcome has not yet ended. Chen Mo continued to add.

"This investment is just the first step. If you need more during the shooting process, you can ask me for additional investment."

Because Chen Mo knows that the filming and location setting of this movie are basically very expensive.

But just hearing the first half of the sentence made Li Xian smile.

"Enough is enough, 200 million is definitely enough!"

At first, they just heard that Chen Mo was very generous.

Therefore, these directors all talk about being able to get Chen Mo's investment.

At the beginning, there were some unscrupulous directors who wanted to take advantage of the loopholes.

But it's a pity that Chen Mo refused to match them.

So over time.

Although everyone knows that Chen Mo’s investment is relatively easy to obtain.

But the premise is that there must be a strong script and story.

In fact, Li Jian was quite nervous when he arrived.

Because he had been rejected by three or four investors before this.

If Chen Mo disagrees.

Maybe he really can only change his creative style.

But Chen Mo told him that he must stick to his own ideas.

After all, a good director is the most important thing.

Just like the lead singer in a rock band.

The director is the soul of the entire film.

And for this Life of Pi.

Chen Mo likes it very much.

Based on its performance alone, this film is actually an excellent adventure film.

This film tells the story of a young man named Pai who encountered a shipwreck, and everyone in his family died in the naval battle.

But only he and a Bengal tiger drifted on a small lifeboat for 227 days. Man and tiger established a strange relationship, and finally overcame the difficulties and gained rebirth.

At first there was no problem just looking at the synopsis of the story.

But there's nothing outstanding about it.

It's basically a very cheesy survival story.

It's just a matter of survival at sea.

But everyone who directed Li Yin knew it.

He is a very good teller of double stories.

There is another layer of story beneath the surface story.

This is the test and reflection of human nature.

As for what the story is, I can’t say much.

But another story can be quoted.

For example, the tiger mentioned in the synopsis of the director's script that lives on the boat with Pi is named Richard Parker.

In 1884, the "Mignonette" sank and four crew members were trapped in the South Atlantic. In addition to the three crew members, there was also a 17-year-old manservant named Richard Parker.

Drifting on the vast sea, three adult sailors killed the orphan Richard Parker and ate his flesh, thus surviving.

…0Please give me flowers…

Perhaps the tiger in the film symbolizes Pi's wild nature.

So in the end he released the tiger, which symbolized the departure of the wild nature.

He returns to the real world.

According to the original words of director Li Bing.

The first story is about civilization, morality, and religion, the things we believe in to keep us alive, and the second story is about the dark truth.

If you completely believe the first story, you will not survive. If you only read the second story completely, you will collapse. In fact, we need these two stories to exist at the same time to survive well.

Overall this is a very good movie.

Just when it's not filmed.

Not that much can be seen.

Chen Mo expressed his understanding for those investors who rejected Mr. Li.

If he hadn't watched the complete film later.

It is estimated that it will be difficult to invest such a large amount of money.

Although the money is just a drop in the bucket to him.

But no one would be stupid enough to throw money into the fire pit.

Li Jian expressed his great gratitude to Chen Mo.

Ever since the issue of lust and caution, he actually seemed a little depressed.

Fortunately, Chen Mo didn't think too much and basically agreed to the investment without hesitation.

"Are you free tonight? I'd like to treat you to a casual meal?" Li Bian thanked him very much.

Chen Mo waved his hand, "There is no need to eat, just finish filming this film.

After all, the age gap between the two of them is still relatively large.

They say there is a generation gap of three years.

The generation gap between them is probably deeper than the river at the door.

There is no need to make small talk to thank you for your investment.

That's not Chen Mo's style.

"Since it's okay, I'm leaving, see you next time.

Chen Mo's idea is very simple.

Instead of having dinner with the old man.

It's better to go and spend the night with classmate Reba.

Looking at Chen Mo's leaving figure.

Li Jian and Zhang Yimou glanced at each other in unison.

Then he sighed.

"We really don't understand the boss's free and easy attitude..."

Although the two of them are already considered seniors among seniors in the film industry.

But in front of Chen Mo.

None of them dare to be arrogant. .
