Xingmang Entertainment has launched a new project, which contains information about: interstellar, war, military, special effects, patriotism, high technology, and even the mysterious travel through time and space, and it is a very scientific one.
Hearing that it was a big production, people from all walks of life were very willing to invest: "..."
There was a time when it was very popular in China to invest in blockbuster films with many elements.
I don't know which genius hit on the idea that one element could produce results, so he piled up a bunch of elements and added some stars. Wouldn't it be natural that the audience base would be larger than other movies? It would definitely make a lot of money! ——Then the investors lost all their money.
After a few times, everyone has learned their lesson. When they hear about multiple elements, they basically shake their heads and say: Whoever wants to invest can invest, but I won’t invest anyway.
This is not multiple elements at all, it's just multiple failures.
After "The Cultivator" became a hit, although Sheng Quan had only invested in this one movie, she still gained the title of "Midnight's Touch".
There is never a shortage of people who follow Midas Touch in this circle.
As a result, Midas Touch*Quan is going to have many failures.
"...Aren't there too many elements?" A film investor who was committed to following the big investors whispered to Mr. Wang: "I heard that you invested 20 million. Do you see the highlight of this project?"
Mr. Wang smiled and drank his tea: "I am already quite old, how can I understand such a novel subject? Aren't we investing together with Mr. Sheng?"
"Twenty million is not a small amount. Are you just going to invest like this? Don't you want to think about it again?" The film investor was still hesitant.
When Mr. Wang talked about this, the corners of his mouth couldn't help but curl up:
"If it were in the past, I might have considered it. Didn't I make a lot of money from the dividends of "Cultivator"? It's not impossible to take out 20 million."
Shadow caster: “…”
Showing off, this is naked showing off, he and Mr. Wang can be considered friends for many years, not to the level of close friends, but definitely close friends. When "Cultivator" was soliciting investment before, Mr. Wang invested himself and did not forget to recommend it to him.
But at that time he felt that making a fantasy movie was a dead end, so not only did he reject Mr. Wang, he also advised him not to invest. At that time, he once suspected that Wang Zhengzheng was too old and his brain was not working well, otherwise why would he invest in a fantasy theme.
And now...don't ask, you will regret it if you ask.
As soon as Mr. Wang saw his friend's colorful face, he knew what he was thinking. He snorted proudly, "I told you at the beginning, even though Ms. Sheng is young, she has a plan in mind. She herself has invested hundreds of millions in a project. If she didn't have 70% confidence, would she spend so much money?"
"Yes, yes, it's my fault. Come, let me offer you a glass of tea instead of wine, as my apology to you." No matter what the situation was at that time, at least Mr. Wang really wanted to help him get rich, but he didn't seize the opportunity. His friend still appreciated his kindness.
After drinking the tea, he smacked his lips and said, "But to be honest, I never thought that "The Cultivator" would become as popular as it is now. This young Ms. Sheng is really amazing. She can even bring the immortal heroes to life."
President Wang looked more and more proud: "If I hadn't been so discerning, I would have registered with her before President Sheng's company was established. Even though her aura is unstoppable, you see, I was the one who moved towards her the fastest, right?"
"You have a good vision indeed." His friend gave him a thumbs up, then hesitated again: "But "The Cultivator" is only a single subject after all, I am still a little worried about this project."
Mr. Wang did not try to persuade him, but drank his tea leisurely: "Think about it yourself. Anyway, I have already invested. Whether it is a loss or a profit, I can bear it."
He stopped trying to persuade him, but his friend gritted his teeth and said, "Okay! I'll invest too! You invest 20 million, and I'll invest 20 million too!"
Mr. Wang was a little surprised at this moment: "You also invested 20 million? Aren't you afraid of losing all your money?"
"I didn't get on the bus last time, so of course I have to get on the bus early this time."
After the decision was made, my friend calmed down: "Even if it only has three-fifths of the box office of "The Cultivator", it will be enough."
"If you lose, you'll lose 20 million. If you win, you'll get a treasure chest. It's worth a gamble."
There are people like Mr. Wang's friend who grit their teeth and are determined to give it a try and get on the bus. Naturally, there are also those who jump off the bus as soon as they see the "failure".
"The script is wonderful, but the scenes are too big. Is Xu Man addicted to shooting big scenes? There are too many big scenes in this script. If she likes to shoot this kind of scenes, wouldn't it be better to shoot "The Cultivator 2" now?"
"Yes, the money spent on special effects is so high, and the military wants to shoot both the current and interstellar films. The review period for this kind of subject matter is long. If it fails the review, then it will be a waste of time."
"I won't take this risk. If they're making "The Cultivator 2", I'll definitely invest, but this project has too many processes to go through."
Compared to those people who held the money but were hesitant or gave up decisively, the investors who participated in the investment of "Cultivator" have more or less invested some money.
Firstly, like Mr. Wang, "The Cultivator" made them earn a lot of money, so they have enough money in their pockets and naturally have enough money on hand.
Secondly, they are not investing in the project, but in Sheng Quan himself.
How can I describe Sheng Quan? She is always smiling when she is with others, and when discussing matters, she usually lets her subordinates come forward while she sits there and listens.
She looks just like an ordinary girl of her age. She often drinks milk tea, asks Director Xu out to play, basks in the sun when the weather is good, and watches the actors filming big scenes.
But when it comes to the critical moment, she is more stable than anyone else.
The filming of "The Cultivator" was certainly not smooth sailing. When making a movie, you will always encounter various problems. But no matter what problems you encounter, even the most mature Mr. Wang couldn't help but show a bit of impatience on his face, Sheng Quan was still able to handle them one by one steadily.
And the people around her are all very loyal.
The leaders are Yu Xiangwan and Gu Zhao. These two are amazing. One guards the crew and the other guards the company. They are so perfect.
When "The Cultivator" became a hit, projects like "The Iron-Blooded Boss", which Blue Bird had spent more than a year on and spent a huge amount of money and connections to make, were suppressed. At least 70% of people were certain that Xie Wanzhao would take action.
But they were disappointed.
Not only did Xie Wanzhao not target "The Cultivator", he even took the initiative to support them. When this happened, I don't know how many people were shocked.
No matter how popular Sheng Quan is, in the eyes of others, he is still better than Xie Wanzhao, a big shot who has been immersed in the entertainment industry for many years.
As a result, Xie Wanzhao took the initiative to give in.
Although the reason she gave was: "The film industry does need to change, we should make more and better movies together."
But in the eyes of most people, her concession simply showed that she knew something.
As for what he knew, it might be Sheng Quan's family background.
It may also be Sheng Quan’s ability and means.
In short, rather than a "friendly retreat", they would rather believe that they "can't win and have to give in".
This forced some bosses who like to think too much to imagine, and their imagination was not without foundation. Didn't you see that Sheng Quan quickly spent a huge amount of money to buy Jones Manor, which can be called a landmark building in Country A? Moreover, she was able to invite so many celebrities from Country A to attend the dinner. Basically, all the celebrities from various countries who were invited went. Many people speculated that she might have a political background in Country A.
Those who have business cooperation with country A will inevitably want to get in touch with Shengquan.
Even Sheng Quan himself said: "There is no such thing as a country background. I am a pure Chinese national. I just met some friends at the dinner party."
But the more she said this, the more people felt that there must be some.
Therefore, even though most people are not optimistic about this interstellar movie, the investment is increasing day by day, and most people are thinking of "using this money to buy a familiar face."
Although the amount of money invested by these people is not much, when added together it is definitely a huge sum.
Yu Xiangwan smiled and placed a plate of washed cherries in front of her: "They are thinking about next year's Starlight Dinner."
"Yes, they are all smart people."
Sheng Quan ate a cherry and squinted his eyes in enjoyment: "This is great. There are so many people sharing the cost. I can focus my energy on other things."
Without mentioning these small amounts that add up to a large sum, just take Xie Wanzhao who directly spent 100 million yuan. Although it was given in batches, it can definitely be said that he proved his trust in Sheng Quan with actions.
No matter how big a company is, large amounts of working capital always need to be allocated. Putting 100 million in Xingmang is definitely a gamble even for Xie Wanzhao.
It has to be said that after receiving this investment amount, Sheng Quan’s pressure was reduced a lot.
She was thinking of using the 300 million yuan for other purposes. If she took sole control of the investment, Sheng Quan would not be able to do anything else in the next six months.
This script was written by a well-known screenwriter, and the chief director is Xu Man. Wan Bao, who has almost recovered, will also join the director team, so there is nothing to worry about on the crew.
Shengquan's focus is on high technology.
There is a plot in "Starlight" that when a crew was shooting a science fiction film, they specially invited various experts in the field. The experts held a meeting to discuss the plot . At the beginning, the crew members could still understand it, but later it was completely like listening to a foreign language.
After much difficulty, the two sides were able to communicate with each other. The screenwriter accidentally said while recording: "Is it impossible for our country to achieve this vision now?"
One of the experts said with regret: "If Ning Zhou were still alive, maybe it would work. He was the one who came up with this idea in the first place."
Who is Ning Zhou?
How old are you?
They are not mentioned in the book at all, and readers will not remember such characters very clearly. There are two or three people who have nothing to do. I searched the name Ning Zhou in the full text and found that he had appeared when the screenwriter was looking up information before, but it only mentioned that he used some toxic materials for experiments in the early stage of his research due to lack of funds.
Although he took protective measures, his body was still damaged after achieving results.
Even though he later joined a state secret unit and was carefully cared for by a group of medical experts, Ning Zhou, this short-lived genius, eventually died of illness.
That’s right, Sheng Quan is the reader with nothing to do.
In the end, the book still didn't say how old he was or where he lived, so after she traveled through the book, all she could know was the name Ning Zhou and that extremely difficult-to-pronounce research project.
In fact, she couldn't remember the research project completely. If she saw the term again, she would be sure it was it, but it was impossible for her to memorize it by herself.
So Sheng Quan has been basically looking through various scientific research-related information projects recently, and he is in the state of "Wow! They look so impressive but I can't understand them at all."
She couldn't even use the four words "flash in the pan" to find someone. After all, although Ning Zhou sounded like he was quite young, in the scientific research world, producing results at the age of 40 was considered young.
Although Sheng Quan still had enough money to hire experts, she still didn't give up before the crew started filming.
The main thing is, although it is not explicitly stated in the article, it would be a pity if a scientific research talent who could make so many experts sigh and the country send a bunch of medical giants to take care of him really died from the use of inferior materials.
She compared it repeatedly with the little time information mentioned in the book, and was sure that Ning Zhou should not have joined the confidentiality department yet.
It is even possible that he is currently using those toxic materials or has not yet had time to use them.
So even if your eyes hurt, you have to look for it.
Mr. Sheng has been rich all his life, but he cannot bear to see outstanding talents fall.
As soon as Yu Xiangwan left, Sheng Quan immersed himself in the ocean of books again.
The difference is that before, reading was like sailing on the ocean, but now, I feel like I’m sinking every minute and every second.
“Ah, but it’s really hard to find…”
Director Sheng, who had been rich all his life but obviously had no scientific research term recognition skills, put down the book and rubbed his forehead: "I even think it's faster to look for the name Ningzhou directly than to find the term in the book."
006: [According to the system query, there are 36 people named Ning Zhou in the country. ]
Sheng Quan: “…”
She put down the book decisively and said, "Just look for the name directly. I remember that the public security one-stop service can search for duplicate names across the country, and it can also be divided into cities. Just look for them one by one."
Anyway, it's better than reading these books that you can't understand at all! It's better for people to focus on their own profession.
Just as I was thinking about it, my cell phone rang and the caller was shown to be Consultant Qin.
Sheng Quan, who had just been filled with resentment, immediately smiled.
Why are you calling me so late?
It seems that what she asked the other party to do is promising.
**** When the producers of the new project "Star Wars" had confirmed and were preparing to start recruiting various filming personnel, it was suddenly revealed that part of the film's plot had obtained permission from the military and could be filmed in the military.
The troops even lend military equipment for filming.
Everyone: “…”
When Mr. Wang's friend heard the news, his heart almost jumped out of his chest:
"There are troops from more than one area. Oh my god! There must be no problem with this review!"
President Wang was actually quite shocked, but he looked at his friend and pretended to be calm: "I was wondering why President Sheng kept denying that she had any background in Country A. No wonder."
“So this is where her background is.”
My friend looked at the group and said, "Boss Sheng said that she had cooperated with the army before, and it had been almost half a year, so it would be easier to get approval this time. Someone asked about it, and she said that she had no military background, so everyone should stop guessing."
Sheng Quan sounded so serious that he was already half-believing and half-doubting.
President Wang smiled confidently: "Look, this is what we call low-key. People who are truly capable are all low-key."
The friend was surprised: "What do you mean?"
Mr. Wang raised his eyebrows at him, and his friend suddenly realized: "I understand, I understand."
"Director Sheng said she didn't have a military background, so we pretended to believe her."
When he thought about boarding this big ship, he couldn't suppress the smile on his face, and tried hard to express his position: "Keep a low profile, keep a low profile."
