During my years at China Entertainment

Chapter 141 Dividing Investments
  The inspection team of the Aerospace Science and Technology Group has returned. The Hongya area is indeed the most suitable location for filming. It is vast and empty, with a sense of loneliness like being on an alien planet. Moreover, Wei Jin remembered that the first Mars simulation base in China was built here in his previous life. , it is simply the best choice for real-life photography.

The script has also been reviewed and is indeed green-lighted.

With everything ready, Wei Jin convened several major investors to come to China Film for detailed discussions.

People from Fiber Optic, Wangda, and Hangke Group were all here, but they didn’t bring Xiying with them this time, even though Mr. Deng showed great sincerity.

"Director Han, Mr. Wei, what's the specific situation?"

“What’s the project budget?”

"When can we start shooting?"

As soon as the three families came up, they spoke directly and talked all over the place, which made Han Sanping a little confused.

"Ahem, don't worry. The project budget is 4 million. We do not rule out the possibility of additional investment in the future. Filming is expected to start around May."

After hearing this number, the three families calmed down their excitement and began to carefully check the information on the table.

"Brother Wei, it's not that I don't believe you, it's just that the number is too big. Do you have a plan on how to get back the money?"

Although Wang Changtian looked like he would cut off the relationship if he wasn't allowed to invest on the phone, his little heart couldn't help but tremble when he saw the cost of 4 million.

"Yes, Mr. Wei, this is also our question."

The other two companies also started asking. It’s no wonder they were not confident. In fact, the domestic movie box office limit was set there, and it couldn’t be hidden from insiders.

Seeing that several major proposed investors, including Han Sanping, were looking at him, Wei Jin knew that they would not feel at ease unless he said something, so he immediately sat up straight with a serious look on his face:

"It's definitely not possible to rely solely on domestic box office, but for this kind of hard-core science fiction film, there are no cultural barriers, and the overseas box office should not be bad. This time I plan to release it simultaneously around the world. The distribution side has already communicated. Summit Entertainment is absolutely No problem."

After two or three years of development, Summit Entertainment has developed global distribution capabilities. It may not be as good as the six major Hollywood companies, but it is still pretty good.

What's more, Wei Jin is still the major shareholder, so there won't be anything fishy in terms of publicity and distribution expenses. You must know that the big gangsters in Hollywood have cheated investors and producers more than once, and they can make box office hits, but they lose profits. matter.

"In terms of special effects, the most important and difficult part will be handed over to the digital field of Hollywood's top special effects company, which will ensure quality."

"In terms of publicity and distribution, my novel of the same name has been updated online and will be published in physical books later. In addition, the English version has also begun translation and verification."

The investors from the three parties saw that Wei Jin was so well prepared and recalled Wei Jin's record since his debut, and they felt a little more confident.

"In addition, you can send supervisors over to ensure the use and flow of project funds."

Wei Jin's last words gave several investors reassurance, and they looked at each other and followed.

It’s no wonder investors are so cautious. In fact, a very ridiculous thing has been revealed on the Internet in the past two days, which has made investors aware of how deep the film and television industry is.

Director Chen Kexin, who invested 8000 million U.S. dollars in the film "The Movie", is still criticizing the extravagant style of mainland costume films. It is obvious that he is talking about "The Golden Jacket" and "The Banquet", but the other party's internal purchasing list of their crew It was revealed that an ordinary soldier uniform costs US$.

Public opinion was boiling for a while, and there were voices of condemnation in the industry. People on the Internet were criticizing Chen Kexin for being greedy, which spread to the entire Hong Kong circle. However, the matter was quickly suppressed. After all, this year marks the tenth anniversary, and stability and harmony are paramount.

But it's just a pain for investors. As China Film Group is the main investor, Han Sanping feels like he's eaten a fly.

  For a whole day, including the five major investors in Wei and Jin, there were constant quarrels over the investment share, which made Wei and Jin's heads hurt. Fortunately, after some negotiation, we finally reached an agreement:
  Of the cost of 4 million, Wei and Jin contributed 1.2 million, accounting for 40%, and the other four parties each contributed 7000 million, accounting for 15%.

It seems like a few companies are suffering a loss, but for this kind of super-large project, you don’t get a share of how much you pay, it mainly depends on what kind of resources can be provided for the project.

Hangke Group relies on personnel and technology as a condition for entry, and the other three parties are either distributors or theaters, all of which have resources in the industry. Wei Jin himself is the top resource in the film industry. The reason why he excluded Xiying It is also due to this consideration.

"How did you think about the cast? Is there a draft?"

Seeing that the investment had been made, Director Han started thinking about becoming an actor. There were many artists from China Film and Television, Yinghuang, who were waiting for help.

"As for the starring role, how about Liu Tianwang?"

Wei Jin remembered the agreement he had made with King Liu Tian, ​​​​and felt that his image and temperament were very consistent.

"The appearance and temperament are quite good, but he has... lately."

Han Sanping didn't finish his words, but everyone present knew what he meant.

In the past few days, the Internet has been full of stories about Liu Tianwang’s extreme fan. He chased stars for thirteen years and drove his father to commit suicide. His suicide note was full of abuses against Liu Tianwang. What’s even more ridiculous is that he even wrote in the suicide note Ask Liu Tianwang to see his daughter again.

Wei Jin felt that King Liu Tian was wronged in this matter, and he had already done a good job.

They agreed to meet and persuaded her to return home, but the female fan who fell into madness was completely unreasonable. Who should blame her for the consequences she had?
  "It's just to use this popularity to make the movie popular first, and the novel will sell better. In addition, Liu Tianwang himself still has a certain influence in Asia."

Wei Jin bluntly stated that he wanted to create hype and clear up Liu Tianwang's reputation at the box office.

"No, since I have given you the control, you have the final say. This is my first project after taking office, so don't let me down."

Seeing that Wei Jin had an idea, Han Sanping didn't want to force his own artists on such a big project.

"Director Han, you are putting so much pressure on me, aren't you afraid that I will be distracted while filming?"

Wei Jin also relaxed now and started teasing Han Sanping.

"Hahaha, yes, I don't like this, Director Han."

Several investors also laughed. Movies are originally a high-risk industry, and the project with Wei Jin is already the least risky.

"In addition, the filming of this film does not take much time, but the post-production period is very long. You must be prepared for the film to be released at least in the second half of next year."

Wei Jin is also inoculating several people, and this film will not see any return in the short term.

"No problem. Since I voted, I believe in you, Mr. Wei. Your project will definitely not cause us any losses, haha."

Several investors are full of confidence in Wei Jin, which is also due to the reputation he has built up over the years. Even if they really lose money, Wei Jin's personality will definitely make up for them in other projects in the future.
