Chapter 201: Far Cry is finished
On March 29, Far Cry is finished.
Wang Changtian made a special trip to Hengdian to visit the class despite his busy schedule.
During the filming of Far Cry, he never visited the class. It’s not that he didn’t care, but he had confidence in Li Mingyang.
Li Mingyang never disappoints people when he plays side games.
The diaosi series is really popular!
Taking advantage of the success of the Diaosi series, Far Cry has attracted a lot of attention since its launch.
During the filming, Yang Mi posted Reuters photos of her swimsuit on Weibo every now and then, causing an uproar on the Internet. It was full of criticisms. Countless people questioned that she was not that big, and the popularity was extremely hot.
It is foreseeable that Far Cry, with an investment of only 8 million, will definitely be able to make back its original investment. As for how much it can earn.
It depends on the scale and the plot.
There is basically no need to worry about announcing your hair.
Yang Mi’s popularity is a guarantee.
The popular innocent little flower transformed into a sexy style in the film industry, which is full of selling points.
As soon as the Far Cry project was established, Wang Changtian knew that he would make a profit without losing anything.
In the evening, Guomao Building.
The final banquet of Far Cry was held in the banquet hall of the Guomao Building. The scene was very lively, especially when Liu Yan walked onto the stage in a milky white suit and short skirt. As the host, she livened up the atmosphere and immediately fascinated a group of young people who were full of energy. Straight.
"Liu Yan is indeed a otaku goddess! Her figure is so good!"
"I am much prettier than on TV."
"I still think Fan Binbin is more beautiful. Be more gorgeous.”
“Fan Binbin is actually a B. She looks big and fat, haha!”
Halfway through the finals banquet, after giving out the red envelopes, Li Mingyang quietly left the banquet hall, went to the suite on the eleventh floor, and then sent the room number to Wang Changtian.
Ten minutes later, Wang Changtian checked the room number on his mobile phone and knocked on the door of the room.
Click.
Li Mingyang opened the door.
"What good ideas do you have for this Far Cry announcement?" Wang Changtian closed the door and said with a smile.
"I'm going to shoot the second part the day after tomorrow."
Wang Changtian was stunned, "So soon?"
"I'm going to use two Far Cry parts to attack the earthquake from both sides."
Wang Changtian pondered for a moment and shook his head, "This kind of operation that harms others without benefiting oneself is very reckless and meaningless."
A major earthquake is the most deadly thing!
"I have written the script." Li Mingyang handed the script on the table to Wang Changtian.
Wang Changtian did not watch it, but threw it on the bed, slowly sat on the sofa opposite Li Mingyang, lowered his head and thought for a while and said: "It is not that easy to make a series of movies."
"First is the IP, second is the cast, and third is the core of the movie."
"The selling point of the first Far Cry movie is Yang Mi. Who is the second movie? It can't be Liu Yan, right? Can't beat the box office. "
"Use Yang Mi again? This kind of movie is based on selling meat. The first time it is fresh, but the second time is not fresh, and no audience will pay for it."< br>
Wang Changtian knows movies and what he said is right.
But Li Mingyang still has to fight. Wang Changtian doesn't know how terrifying the earthquake is, but Li Mingyang knows!
“I have confidence in myself and I won’t lose money in the second part.” Li Mingyang said.
“It’s not a matter of compensation or not... answer me a question first, are Far Cry 1 and 2 related?”
“Yes, but not much.”
"It's better to call it Lonely Island Girl." Wang Changtian said with a smile: "The series of movies is very complicated. Just make one movie and make money for one movie. I'm thinking about making the second one. How can I make the first one better?" Good job.”
Well, that makes sense...
“Because of personal grudges, making two movies about sniping compatriots is too disharmonious, after all. , we are all our own people, and we will make foreigners laugh... By the way, there are also those in Hong Kong and Taiwan who want to laugh at us."
"..."
"Of course, in the entertainment industry, it's normal to avenge private enemies, but don't make it so obvious." Wang Changtian picked up the script, put it on the table, patted Li Mingyang on the shoulder, and said concisely, "Change the name."
It’s not that it can’t be done, it’s that it can’t be done too obviously.
You can stab someone in the back, but never slap someone in the face.
One thing in front of you, another behind your back!
“Are you sure you don’t want to read it?” Li Mingyang said, holding the script.
“Let’s take a look.”
Wang Changtian took the script and started reading it. After reading it for a while, he suddenly shook his head.
“Your script is too complicated, suspense? Fighting of wits? The style changes too much. This kind of movie is thankless, the mainstream doesn’t like it, and the market doesn’t like it either.”
“ Why do you always like to challenge yourself!”
“Just shoot in your own style. You are good at making youth romance movies. Just master this genre first. If you blindly change your style, you will lose yourself...”
“This type of suspense is about reversal, reversal and reversal. There are not many good ones in this genre in China, and those directors haven’t filmed for a long time, and no one wants to do it. Investment, the market doesn’t like it.”
Wang Changtian closed the script and couldn't read it anymore. He gave it back to Li Mingyang, then sighed and said seriously: "You have just become famous. It's time for stability. Don't challenge yourself all the time. You can't make mistakes now."
"The investment is not big, and it will have no impact if it fails. If it succeeds, it will be a big profit."
Wang Changtian smiled bitterly and said: "You have some ideological problems now, you don't look like a director. More like the capital circle."
"Is it wrong?"
"Big mistake!" Wang Changtian said seriously: "The power of life and death in domestic movies lies with those old guys. It’s in the hands of capital, not in the hands of capital. It’s like this now, and it won’t change much in the future.”
In the end, capital has the final say in the film industry.
“I don’t know the future, but in the film industry, as long as the mountain stands, capital has no right to speak! This is what the higher-ups don’t want to see, and it is what they want to do.”
< br>“What he values is your directorial talent, not your business acumen.”
“If you want to be in the film industry, the most important thing you need to show is your directorial talent.”
< br>
I don’t have money to take pictures!
Why did China Film invest so much? It’s because you don’t have money... If you had money, China Film wouldn’t invest so much!
Li Mingyang thought for a while, "I feel there is no conflict, and there is no capital, where will the box office come from?"
Wang Changtian sighed again, "You are becoming less and less like a director. , He is becoming less and less like a member of the industry... Mingyang! Why do you make movies?"
This question made Li Mingyang silent.
When Wang Changtian saw that Li Mingyang didn't answer, what he had been worried about finally happened.
Capital is a double-edged sword.
It allows people to have wealth and freedom, but it also destroys people’s original intentions.
It makes people feel lost...
Actually, Li Mingyang is not lost.
He just suddenly remembered his past life.
In his previous life, he had a dream, that is, to be a film director.
However, capital has monopolized the domestic film market. Without capital, no one can make a movie.
Capital did not give him a chance to realize his dream.
Everyone advised him to make money well.
And his savings will never be spent in a lifetime.
People who have never experienced that feeling of emptiness will not understand.
He wants to be a great director! Become the number one director in the country!
“After you have been busy for a while, you go out for a trip and relax. There must be a goal in life... If you want to make money, stop being in the movie industry and try to swallow up Youku. Don't tell me you haven't thought about it..."
Li Mingyang was shocked by Wang Changtian's words. He came back to his senses and glanced at Wang Changtian in surprise.
I never thought about it!
If you want to swallow Youku yourself, it’s none of my business!
“Only BAT is qualified to be a video website in China, and no other companies can. Baidu and Tencent can directly open up the track. Alibaba cannot, it has to buy. Youku will be very valuable in the future, so do it well! Look back, I still want to hang out with you, haha!”
Wang Changtian’s smile is so hypocritical!
Who knows capital best in domestic entertainment, it is Wang Changtian.
Gong Yu was educated in the entertainment industry for many years before he integrated capital thinking and internal entertainment thinking and became a streaming media giant.
But Wang Changtian did not suffer any losses. He just turned BAT around and worked hard step by step to become the new king of domestic entertainment.
Li Mingyang didn’t want to talk about capital with Wang Changtian. He supported his head with his hands, looked at the murals on the wall, and slowly said: "Mr. Wang, do you know why I am from the acting department of Beijing Film Academy? ?”
Wang Changtian thought for a while and said: “The score for the director department of Beijing Film Academy is too high, but the acting department just depends on face.”
Li Mingyang smiled, “Actually... I wanted to be an actor, but I became a director when I found that I wasn’t suitable.”
You can pull it down! I haven’t even taken classes for a few days in the acting department, so I have the nerve to say it’s not suitable.
You skipped classes even more outrageously than Liu Yifei. People sometimes go back for a few weeks, but you haven’t seen anyone for months!
You are too lazy to pay the tuition fees, so you asked me to pay them for you.
“I want to be an actor, but the conditions do not allow it. Since I am a born director, then I will be the best director and make the movies I want to make.”
“You Say I like to challenge myself.”
"Yes, I just want to challenge myself. I want to know where my limits are!"
"Movies! We need dreams. Movies without dreams have no soul."
"I I have never forgotten my original intention, I want to be a great director, I want to be the number one director in the country.”
“Capital is a fucking bastard!”
“I help Youku. Going public is to use it as capital and not to let others block my way.”
Li Mingyang straightened up, turned to look at Wang Changtian, and grinned, "This is to provide funds for Mr. Wang to work hard in the film industry. By the summer vacation, you and I will have at least 50 million US dollars!" I don’t believe that I can’t wear Huayi!”
Wang Changtian took off his glasses with complicated eyes.
In fact, he wanted Li Mingyang to go to the capital circle and swallow up Youku.
A while ago, he went to Penguin Headquarters. Boss Ma personally received him and made an offer that he couldn't refuse.
Penguin is willing to invest in the Rays.
100 million, 1% of the shares.
Penguin unlimited collection.
Penguin’s operation directly changed the valuation of Light to 10 billion!
With the backing of Penguin and two master-controlled movies with box office sales exceeding 100 million, Ray can be launched this year.
Of course there is no free lunch. If Penguin wants to enter the video website field, it needs someone to take charge of the overall situation.
Boss Ma fell in love with Li Mingyang.
A movie with a box office of over 100 million does not necessarily need Li Mingyang.
But if Enlight Media wants to go public, it cannot do without Li Mingyang.
The main purpose of his visit today is to know whether Li Mingyang can still be a film director.
"To be honest, I feel a little regretful." Wang Changtian put on his glasses and smiled, "But I am even happier to see you now."
