Chapter 701 Speak of Cao Cao and he will appear

"Mr. Xie, I do know something about Lu Yang."

"Oh?" Master Xie turned and looked at Lao Wang.

Lao Wang also looked at him and sneered, "But I have to correct one thing, the person who invested in his project is not some rich guy, right?"

"Really?" Mr. Xie seemed not to notice his sneer and laughed again. "Who would still want to make a costume martial arts film in this world?"

After a pause, Mr. Xie continued, "Don't even mention ancient costume martial arts movies. Even your movie The Great Ming Robbery is not good enough in my opinion, because the hottest and most profitable movies nowadays are all urban themes, like Lost in Thailand, Tiny Times, and So Young. Ancient costume movies are rotten!"

Lao Wang and Lu Yang looked at each other, and both of them couldn't help but flash a trace of helplessness.

What Mr. Xie said is absolutely correct. The hottest movie theme right now is urban.

As for costume films, their credibility has been seriously overdrawn by the epic blockbusters in recent years that have been more disappointing than the last, and they have become a film genre that all moviegoers want to avoid.

Therefore, when almost all film companies receive scripts and projects about costume films, their first reaction is to reject them.

"Mr. Xie, what you said is indeed correct, but if the market response is not good, will we not shoot it?" Lu Yang objected.

He admitted that this was the general trend, but that didn't mean he had to give up.

"Lu Yang is right. If no one makes costume films anymore, then this type of film will be useless. When the craze for urban themes fades in a few years, and the audience starts to miss costume films again, what will you show them? How can you make a film that the audience will like in a few years?"

Lao Wang was also quite indignant, because this Mr. Xie was his classmate, but he seemed to have only the snobbery of a businessman and completely lacked the integrity and perseverance that a filmmaker should have.

Master Xie did not expect that these two guys would refute him to his face. He was a little surprised, but he had no way to give a strong rebuttal. In the end, he could only point at them and shake his head.

"You guys are so naive and self-centered. What do you think people invest in movies for? Isn't it to make money? Who cares about what you say?"

After hearing this, Lu Yang sneered again, "Then let me ask you, Mr. Xie, if what you said is true, the themes of the movies you make will become fewer and fewer, and the road you will follow will become narrower and narrower. If it is true what you said, then in a decade or so, what will you still be shooting? How will you still make money?"

After hearing this, Lao Wang at the side immediately praised it and gave Lu Yang a thumbs up, "Good question!"

The two of them once again looked at Master Xie, who had been forced into speechlessness.

"Okay, okay, I can't argue with you anyway, but do you think this world is really like what you say?"

Master Xie seemed to have found a weapon to fight back and pointed around.

"Look, everyone, look, Lao Wang. The one who invested in your film The Great Ming Robbery is Miracle Pictures, right? Do they take you seriously? The important preview was held so calmly, and not even one person from the company came. How do you explain it? Do you dare to say that Miracle Pictures values ​​you? And supports you very much?"

Lao Wang was suddenly speechless, because he really didn't expect it to be so deserted.

To be honest, Miracle Pictures was quite supportive of him. For example, he originally planned the budget to be around 10 million. However, after discussions and research between the script doctor of Miracle Pictures and the screenwriter team, they deleted and revised some of the scripts and increased the budget to 20 million.

After the project was launched, the crew was formed in a very professional manner. This allowed Lao Wang, who had been in the film industry for many years, to feel for the first time what professionalism meant. This can almost be said to be the smoothest film he had ever shot, and it also achieved the effect he had wanted.

I just didn't expect the preview to be so quiet.

Perhaps for Miracle Pictures, a large company that has only been established for three years but has already become a core member of the film industry, a movie with an investment of 20 million is nothing at all.

Seeing their expressions, Master Xie became even more smug.

"I was right, wasn't I? Even if you say a hundred or ten thousand more sentences, can you change reality?"

"If Miracle Pictures really values ​​you and your project so much, then they should be here now, not just their top executives, but even their boss behind the scenes, Yang Huan!"

“But now…” Master Xie spread his arms arrogantly and shook his head, “…no one has come!”

But just as he finished speaking, he saw a bright headlight coming from the distance, followed by the sound of a roaring sports car, and then he saw a brand new Aston Martin successor speeding towards him from a distance.

There was a sharp brake sound, and the heir stopped steadily in front of Master Xie.

Who is it?

Everyone present paid attention, and this doubt flashed through everyone's mind.

When the car door opened, a handsome young man got out of the car. Everyone was stunned when they saw him.

He glanced around, smiled slightly, and walked towards the passenger seat.

Zhuang Ziqing also came out from the passenger seat. As soon as she appeared, her graceful demeanor and beautiful face immediately stunned everyone on the scene, and they almost popped their eyes out.

When Yang Huan approached, Zhuang Ziqing smiled sweetly, took his hand affectionately, and walked towards Lu Yang and the other two side by side.

Master Xie, who was the first to be hit, was completely panicked.

Speak of Cao Cao and he will appear!

I just mentioned Yang Huan, and here comes Young Master Huan!

Oh my God, please don't make any trouble. If Master Huan knew what I did just now, would I still be able to survive in Beijing?

But just when he was feeling uneasy and worried about whether Young Master Huan would come to settle the score with him, Yang Huan pulled Zhuang Ziqing past him, simply treating him as a transparent person and not taking him seriously at all.

But when passing by Lu Yang and Lao Wang, Yang Huan suddenly stopped.

"Lu Yang? Lao Wang next door?"

The two were stunned for a moment, and then they were greatly flattered.

"Yes, I'm Lu Yang, Master Huan!"

"Master Huan, I'm Lao Wang next door, you can just call me Lao Wang!"

Yang Huan immediately laughed, "I've read both of your scripts, they're both quite brilliant, and I heard from them that you guys put a lot of effort into filming, very good, very good!"

"Thank you, Master Huan, for your praise!" Lao Wang and Lu Yang were both flattered.

I never expected that I would always be the number one person in front of Young Master Huan and someone whose name could be pronounced!

"I happen to have some time today and want to watch a movie!" Yang Huan explained why he came.

"How was it? Lao Wang, did you film the scene where Sun Chuanting fights against the local tyrants, debates with Wu Youke, and the two siege battles before and after? "

The expression on Master Huan's face when he asked this question showed a sense of impatient anticipation.

"Well, Master Huan, the effects and the mood have basically been captured!"

Yang Huan praised it and said, "That's great!"

He read the script and felt that although the whole story was a bit slow, it was quite exciting. Especially after the script doctor of Miracle Pictures negotiated with the screenwriter and deleted some unnecessary details, the length of the film was shortened to about two hours and the rhythm became more compact.

But the most important parts are the fight against the local tyrants, the debate and the two siege battles at the beginning and end of the film.

Yang Huan was so excited just by reading the script that he exclaimed that it was exciting. If he had watched it in a cinema, he would probably have gotten goosebumps.

So, he always says that it’s not that there are no outstanding filmmakers in the country, but there is no environment that allows these filmmakers to display their talents and to work peacefully.

Yang Huan thought of this and saw Lu Yang again, "I also like your Embroidered Spring Blade very much. They have seen it before and the reviews are quite high. It is not inferior to Daming Jie at all!"

Lu Yang immediately thanked him modestly, "Then I have to thank Master Huan for his support, especially for the additional investment budget, so many shots that were originally impossible to shoot can now be shot, and the effect of the entire movie has also improved."

Originally he wanted an investment of 20 million, but later Miracle Pictures increased it to 40 million.

With no changes in the entire creative team, the extra 20 million was spent entirely on film production and publicity and distribution, which can be said to be money spent wisely.

"They told me before that you have already started preparing the script for the prequel?" Yang Huan asked with great interest.

"Well, yes, I just don't know if there will be a chance to take a photo!" Lu Yang was a little embarrassed.

He signed a contract with Miracle Pictures for a movie. Under normal circumstances, if the movie doesn't sell well, there will definitely be no sequels or prequels, so his script will be useless by then.

But who would have known that as soon as he said this, Yang Huan couldn't help but burst into laughter.

"Xiao Deng and the others mentioned this to me. They said that you are very dedicated in making movies and you have enough ability. Since the movies you made have won their recognition, I think they are not bad either!"

At this point, Yang Huan paused and said, "So, just go ahead and prepare your prequel. I've voted!"

"Really?" Lu Yang's eyes lit up when he heard it.

The movie hasn't even been released yet, and we don't even know if it will be a box office hit, but you're already investing in a prequel?

"Do you think I'm bragging? Could what I said be false?" Yang Huan scolded with a smile.

Lu Yang immediately waved his hands to apologize, claiming that he had no other intentions and was just very happy.

Old Wang on the side also congratulated Lu Yang with envy, saying that he had met a noble man.

"Lao Wang, I also admire your persistence and attitude. I will invest in your next movie!"

But soon, before Master Huan had a chance to make Lao Wang happy, he shook his head again.

"No, not just the next one. As long as you keep this attitude and the rigorous and dedicated ethics of filmmakers, I will invest in your future films, whether they make money or lose money!"

"Not just you, but everyone else, just spread the word. As long as anyone truly wants to make a movie and has the ability to make a good movie, we at Miracle Pictures welcome them all!"

Yang Huan's words almost made Lao Wang and Lu Yang overjoyed.

I've heard people say that Young Master Huan is famous for his generosity, but I didn't expect that hearing about him is not as good as meeting him in person. After meeting him tonight, I found that he is definitely a hundred times, a thousand times more outstanding than the rumors say.

As long as they thought about the fact that they would no longer have to go around seeking investment for projects, please please everyone, and endure ridicule and sarcasm, their hearts were filled with gratitude.

Mr. Xie, who was standing far away and listening, was so embarrassed that he wanted to dig a hole in the ground and crawl into it.

Because he found that he, a rich young man from the capital, was so insignificant in front of Young Master Huan.

But unfortunately, those two poor guys received such courtesy from Young Master Huan, which makes me angry just thinking about it.

Is there anyone who despises the rich and loves the poor?

But just when he was about to turn around and leave, he saw a few more cars turning in from the entrance.

When the cars drove over one by one and stopped at the gate, and the people in the cars got out, Master Xie was dumbfounded.

Huang Jianxin, Chen Guofu, Xu Ke, Chen Kexin, Zhao Wei, Deng Chao...

Oh my goodness, such a big deal?

Why are all these people here?
