Fang Yuan stared at Nie Yutian blankly, wondering, what does this have to do with you?
Why are you calling me a scumbag here too?
"hey-hey……"
Nie Yutian smiled at Fang Yuan sheepishly, stuck out her tongue and said, "Sorry, I was too absorbed in the role."
Fang Yuan widened his eyes. He looked at Guan Yingying and signaled with his eyes that the person next to her was having a seizure.
Guan Yingying then began to introduce her classmate from Peking University and Tsinghua University.
"Let me introduce you to Nie Yutian, who is from the directing department of Peking University and Tsinghua University. She is currently discussing a literary film project with me, and she wants to get my investment."
Guan Yingying shrugged helplessly, "But I am an angel investment institution, not a film investment company."
The speaker may not mean it, but the listener may take it seriously.
Fang Yuan felt as if he was struck by lightning, and goose bumps began to appear all over his body.
He got it!
That's right, why didn't I think of it?
Make a movie!
Fang Yuan remembered that making movies was a project that was very easy to lose money on.
For example, before, there was a movie with an investment of over 100 million yuan, which invited almost all the big names in the entertainment industry to participate.
There are the best actor, best actress, best TV actor, best TV actress, as well as the popular stars, pretty boys, popular idols, singers, writers, hosts, etc.
As long as you can name a person and have a big V certification on a certain blog, please come and participate.
Fang Yuan still remembers that the movie was marketed as a domestic fantasy film.
"Legend of the Gods"!
Yes, that’s the name.
It is said that it was jointly released by a local film giant and an American film giant.
Of course, the plot has nothing to do with "The Investiture of the Gods".
Three thousand years ago, at the end of the Shang Dynasty, the foolish King Zhou was bewitched by his evil concubine Daji, and joined forces with Shen Gongbao to try to summon the power of darkness to give birth to a black dragon that would destroy the world. For a time, evil spirits were rampant and the people were living in misery.
In order to stop the tyrant from destroying the world, Jiang Ziya ordered Lei Zhenzi, Nezha and Yang Jian to join forces to find the Sword of Light to slay demons and monsters, and to assist King Wu in leading the Xiqi army to attack Chaoge.
Unexpectedly, Daji casts a spell on Jiang Ziya that puts him under a curse of rebirth. The battle of Chaoge is imminent, the coming of the black dragon is a foregone conclusion, and the world is once again in crisis.
——————The movie introduction is excerpted from Baidu Encyclopedia.
(According to the latest requirements of Tomato Novel, the source needs to be indicated.)
No one in any country will buy into this kind of story that is neither Chinese nor Western.
Of course, this movie was also produced by the producers to promote the boss's son.
A lot of the budget alone was spent on the role of Lei Zhenzi, played by the boss's son.
Simply to design a wing, we need to find many entomologists, biologists, and bionics scientists to work together to study it. We imitated many birds and insects, and combined the claw structures of various land animals to make it specifically.
Later, the crew designed a lot of storyboards for this pair of wings, all of which were drawn stroke by stroke by a famous cartoonist.
Finally, we invited the world's top modelers and special effects artists to work together to create a visual preview of this pair of wings.
There are more than 2,200 special effects shots for this pair of wings alone in the movie.
I really don't know whether this special effects artist made it for the people or for the wings.
On the day when "The Legend of Gods" was released, the box office in mainland China was only 81 million yuan.
In the following days, the box office began to decline.
The two days after the release happened to be the weekend with the busiest traffic.
But it only earned 119 million yuan at the box office over the weekend, and after that, it couldn't sell any box office tickets at all.
The investment exceeded 300 million yuan, and the final total box office was 279 million yuan.
It seems that there is not much loss.
But after sharing the profits with the cinemas, the film production company can get a total of 55.8 million yuan.
In other words, the loss was nearly 250 million yuan.
The cost of publicity and promotion has not been included.
It was a complete loss and instantly became a laughing stock in the film industry.
It won the Rotten Tomatoes' Worst Film of the Year award, and the record remained unbroken in the next five years.
Fang Yuan thought, isn't making movies suitable for me?
It’s okay to lose money, but it’s better to lose it as much as possible.
When Fang Yuan heard that Nie Yutian was going to make an art film, he wanted to invest in her even more.
but……
Fang Yuan said to himself, don't be anxious, don't panic, first find out the various factors that affect the box office.
What if this art film has an extremely talented leading actor or creative team?
What if this art film has a very explosive plot?
Fang Yuan looked at Nie Yutian and then asked his question.
"Can you tell me about your art film?"
Nie Yutian's eyes lit up and she immediately grasped Fang Yuan's hand.
"Boss, are you going to invest in me?"
Guan Yingying also didn't expect that Fang Yuan would be interested in investing in a movie.
Guan Yingying quickly reminded him, "A Yuan, the box office of art films won't be very high, and this classmate of mine is also making a movie for the first time, so I'm afraid the input-output ratio won't be good."
Guan Yingying was already very tactful, she almost pointed out that if they invested in this movie, they would lose money.
When Fang Yuan heard Guan Yingying say that it was Nie Yutian's first time making a movie, he wanted to invest even more.
"What's wrong with being a newcomer? Isn't that a new director as well? The first step in filming is a youth pain literature film, which is both well received and a hit. We should give more opportunities to new directors."
Hearing Fang Yuan say that, the light in Nie Yutian's eyes became brighter.
She seemed to have found her mentor. She patted her thigh and said to Guan Yingying, "Look, your boss has good vision. No wonder he is the boss."
Guan Yingying wanted to say something, but on one side was her best friend, and on the other side was the boss who wanted to invest in the movie.
She had better keep her mouth shut to avoid getting into trouble.
Fang Yuan knocked on the table and asked, "How much investment do you plan to make for this art film? Who do you want to star in it?"
Nie Yutian scratched his head, looking embarrassed.
"Um... to be honest, I don't have an idea of how much investment I will accept. However, as for the actors, I plan to use new actors. They are all good actors of the younger generation that I know."
Fang Yuan didn't expect that Nie Yutian was so bold that he even dared to use new actors in his movie.
There is no traffic at all and I don’t know how it died.
Xu Huaichu, who was standing next to him, finally found an opportunity to interrupt and immediately made a complaint.
"A new director and new actors, and it's an art film. Yuan, you can't invest in this film. It's 100% certain to lose money."
Nie Yutian scratched her head. She also knew that most investors would give up investing when they heard about the model of new director + new actor + art film.
Otherwise, she wouldn't have asked her best friend Guan Yingying for help.
Just when Nie Yutian thought that Fang Yuan would refuse to invest like everyone else.
Fang Yuan shouted.
“I’m investing in this film!”
