Please make money.

"Of course, I am here to attract investment for those directors, and those directors know what they are doing."

"For example?"

"For example, Feng Kuzi, he sees it most clearly. What people say is that it's not that we like to make bad movies, but that the level of domestic audiences is too low, so they like to watch bad movies."

"No wonder..."

"Yes, they know it in their hearts. They know it very well."

The buddy also shuddered and came over to wash his hands: "Look at you, brother, are you here to beg for alms too?"

The man in the black suit smiled and said, "Don't I look like I work here?"

"No, I've seen a lot of them at work, but for someone as arrogant as you, I feel like you're here to give them a threshold."

"What threshold?"

"You have to kneel down to earn money! Who in the world doesn't know that the boss of Ai Group is kind, generous, and easy to talk to? Brothers, what is your project?"

"finance."

"Hey! Finance is good, it makes a lot more money than movies. Movies at least have to sell tickets, but for finance, you just rob them!"

"That's true."

"Where are you working, brother? What's your name?"

"No need to call yourself Jiang, I'm in a good position here." Jiang Wei stepped on the shiny floor and said, "Ai Group, Financial Insurance Department, Investment Department Head, Jiang Wei."

"..."

……

……

The reason why Jiang Wei would encounter people begging for alms was, of course, because there were suddenly more and more such people.

1.3 billion, real hard cash. It took a long time for that circle to gradually digest this news.

Damn, are you serious?

The result, of course, is that they came for Alia. They are stupid and have a lot of money, so why don't they come quickly?

Arya could choose not to meet ten or even nine of them, but there were some who, for the sake of her dignity, she had to meet.

For example, the fifth-generation director in front of him, and another international director brought by the other party as an intermediary.

How big is it?

Let’s put it this way, before Alia threw down the 1.3 billion, the other party was the one who spent the most money in the country.

Alia changed her sitting position and said, "Director Mou, but I don't have any plans to make other movies recently. I just like science fiction, so I'll make one and add some advertising placement."

"Science fiction is good, science fiction, it's great." Director Mou, wearing a hat, said very seriously: "Ms. Ai, I also think science fiction is great, I have filmed a lot of this kind of thing."

Alia was stunned for a moment. That wasn’t right. Could it be that in this world line, this person had another masterpiece that she hadn’t read yet?

She sat up straight: "Director Mou, have you ever filmed a science fiction movie?"

"It has been filmed before. It's a sci-fi movie about time travel and a battle with the Terracotta Warriors. Isn't it very sci-fi and bold?"

"Ah, that's true."

"I especially like the last shot, where the Terracotta Warriors come back to life and charge towards the machine guns. It's very tragic. You know Avatar? Their contradictory narrative was actually inspired by my movie. The plot is the same."

"Oh……"

"And the previous "The Wall", science fiction, monsters, right? Then I invited world-class stars, it was great, heroic narrative."

Ailia was convinced. Yes, yes, yes, it was indeed a bit sci-fi.

"Miss Ai, I understand that you want to make a science fiction film, and I am very optimistic about your vision since you dare to invest 1.3 billion. That's it. Miss Ai's understanding of the film style of science fiction is a bit narrow. It may be more inclined to the typical science fiction style of the last century. I read the script, rockets, space stations, astronauts, and many large machines, industries and so on. I think it's very old-fashioned. It's not that it's not good, but it's not bold enough."

Ailia took a deep breath and quickly poured a cup of tea for the other party: "Director Mou, please speak slowly. Let me think about it. Do you have any bold ideas?"

"Look at this script, right? In the original novel, the scene is actually very grand, but when you film it now, the perspective is too small."

Aaliyah slapped her thigh and said, "I think so too! How about something bigger?"

"There should be many planetary engines, a lot of them. For example, if we look at a city, it is lined up one after another. The engines should be like this too, densely packed together."

Alia nodded repeatedly: "Well - then what?"

"Then we want to show world unity by painting the engine in the colors of the national flag."

"Paint it?"

"Yes, look at it. There are many engines, red and blue, just like the ocean. It's very shocking!"

Ailia thought about the scene. It was hard to say whether it was shocking or not. It was just a little... hard to say.

"But this is not profound enough. These images are very stereotyped. We want something humane and in-depth, to explore some of our inner problems."

"...Yellow Earth?"

"There was no yellow soil at that time."

"Too--"

"That has to be the polar regions, so it's icy land, so we have to be rigorous."

"..."

"Look, at the end, it was a failure. The criticism, the criticism of human nature, was there, the glaciers, the many, many scientists."

"That scene is the last one, the third one, right?"

"There's no need to drag it out for so long. It can be shot in one film. The original novel also attaches great importance to this. The glacier scene is very desolate, and then a group of people stand there. The close-ups should give the scientists' painful expressions, and the conflicts between them and the children or the elderly. You see, the child does not understand her parents. She thinks her parents are right, but her neighbors and some of her uncles and aunts want to distance themselves from her parents and criticize them, throw stones at them, and denounce their ugliness."

Alia slammed the table, and the sound was so loud that even a fifth-generation director who was nodding his head nearby was startled.

"Good!" Alia gave a thumbs up. "It's great and profound, but there is one thing I think is wrong. I shouldn't throw stones at them."

"Ah... with a gun? A sci-fi gun?"

"No, use ice cubes. It looks more realistic."

"Yes, yes, the details are very clever. Hmm, it's time to use ice cubes..."

"As for the actors, do you have any ideas?"

"As for actors, I still think that this is a commercial film after all, so we need to find some actors who are popular with the audience, right? For example, some young people with box office appeal. This is also for the benefit of investors. When we make movies, in addition to art, we also have to consider the commercial atmosphere."

"If we have 1.3 billion, how do you think we should use it?"

"This, mainly this, depends on the shooting. Props may cost a lot of money, but I also want to challenge more daring shooting techniques, such as one-shot. All the actors, including the extras, I let them rehearse first, and then spend a month, acting over and over again. I shoot it all in one shot, and finally choose the best version. The special effects are also used in one shot. In the end, the camera gives a distant view, the sun rises, the glacier collapses, the night comes, and the fireworks are like the opening ceremony. The engines all explode, just like fireworks, very gorgeous..."

Ailia finally held back and politely sent them away. She closed the door, looked at Mr. Lei who was drinking tea, and spread her hands.

"fireworks?"

"Don't ask me." Mr. Lei opened the lid of the kettle and looked at the tea leaves. "I don't understand movies. If fireworks don't work, we can replace it with potted chrysanthemums all over the earth. I think that great director can do it. What he likes and is best at is not the scenes with lots of people."

"Ah... 1.3 billion, it's really quite touching."

An investment of 1.3 billion in real money is not only attractive, but it is enough to create a billionaire as long as one can manipulate it a little.

However, if the operation is more complicated and the secondary market is manipulated, it is hard to say how much can be leveraged.

"What do you think?" Mr. Lei made another pot of tea: "I have some wishes, too."

"It's no use having the wish, and there's no power - he's old, and the ship of the new era can't carry the remnants of the old era, and I'm not praising him."

The other party's pattern is actually a bit like that.

But that’s all. The course of life is like a stamp of thought, which is imposed on the fields of various artistic creations and expressions.

Director Lao Mou really wants to produce Donghuang's own industrialized film, but he doesn't believe that his own people can do it.

Just like the city wall, he found foreign teams, foreign screenwriters, and even foreign protagonists and investors.

The reason is very simple - he hopes for industrialization - but he believes that industrialization is something that others can do, not himself.

Su Nan is different. As the least noticeable one among the same batch of directors who were sent to HaoXwu for study and training, he made up his mind to do it himself from the beginning.

The reason is very simple. He did not think that this thing could not be done. The era he experienced was different from those of the fifth generation or even earlier directors.

As long as Alia invests, she can provide world-class heavy industry technology as prop support, and her level will not be inferior to that of her peers in the new era.

Is it difficult for a company with a market value of 200 billion yuan and its own mechanical and chemical departments and electronic software development teams to develop an industrialized process for a movie?

The hard part is getting someone to do it!

If there was no Alia, Su Nan could also do it, but he would have to take it step by step and try and make mistakes.

Instead of it being like now, the good wind is helping me soar to the sky.

"What is the cruelest thing that can happen to a person?"

"What is it?"

"You see your own shadow in a person younger than you, but you have to hinder him for various reasons."

"Really?" Lei took a sip of tea and looked at Alia, her shadow reflected in his eyes: "Why can't it be help?"

"If I help you, wouldn't that be like admitting defeat? You have accomplished something that I haven't accomplished yet. What does that mean?"

"That's it..."

"The strongest swordsman in the cold weapon era is no match for the kid who can pull the trigger in the hot weapon era. It's not entirely his fault."

Alia was quite emotional: "It's the times that are wrong - there are people who can say that times have changed but they haven't changed themselves, but it's not him."

If he can't even tell a good story, how could Alia give him the 1.3 billion investment to squander?

"So, are you having fun during this time?"

"It's good. The crew is quite interesting."

"Then Miss, would you like to explain to me what this trending search is?"

“Trending search? I didn’t buy the trending search—did the publicity department buy it?”

Alia took the other party's A1-NOTE phone, then leaned back tactically and saw an unusually stable follow-up scene.

The huge transport truck rushed into the fire and then rushed out, with traces of thick smoke on its body.

She jumped down from the car, took off her hat and shook her hair, with a fire behind her and thick smoke billowing...

“Who took this picture?”

"Over there with the crew."

"I mean the camera movement... Tsk, could it be that Steadicam master? So steady?"

“…Is this the time to talk about stability?”

"Ah - haha, this, it's not really dangerous, really, I was just passing by, I happened to be over there, and then the car suddenly..."

Ailia couldn't continue speaking because her footage was recorded from another studio.

When the fire alarm sounded, she was watching Anlele roasting durian.

Then, as if she had confirmed the special situation of the fire, she jumped onto the eight-meter-high front of the car in just two or three steps like an action star.

Then the huge vehicle was started, like an awakened beast, it shook off all the chains on its body, roared, smashed the wall and drove out.

Alia scratched her head. "It looks pretty cool... No, how could this be leaked? The crew doesn't have a good sense of confidentiality!"

"I can't delete it anymore. It's already dominated the trending searches. Do you know how you're being scolded now?"

"Scold me? Why?"

"Everyone thinks you are marketing, like some kind of drama - but this is not important. What is important is safety."

Lei Fan said as he took out a box from his side and poured out all the information inside.

"For your own safety, Miss, you cannot go to the crew until these tasks are completed."

Damn, I thought there wouldn't be any problems with the crew filming a movie, but now there's a fire.

Lei Fan took some time to understand the difficulties of the filming, such as wearing props weighing dozens of kilograms and being suspended in the air, running for life under concrete fragments, and rolling in a pool of dirty water just to shoot the water scenes after the disaster. Was this something she should join in the fun?

Alia's eyes widened as she looked at the table full of documents: "So many?!"

“Here’s the catalogue.”

"...Boss Lei, do you want to rebel? Huh?" Alia slammed the table and said, "Why don't you just give me my seat!"
