After divorce, I can hear the voice of the future

Chapter 567 I need your attention, okay?

"Director Guo, it's getting late now. You should go back first. Mr. Lu said he knows."

Tang Caidie was helpless. Hearing that Lu Liang would be back today, Guo Fan came to the company early in the morning and waited and waited.

Guo Fan nodded and bowed, smiling: "Boss Tang, if you think I'm in the way, then I'll go out and wait."

"Then please wait a moment, President Lu is already on his way to the company." Tang Caidie was at a loss whether to laugh or cry.

"It's okay, Mr. Lu, just take care of what you need first." Guo Fan smiled apologetically.

It took a full three years from project establishment to shooting and then to post-production, and The Wandering Earth was finally completed.

It has been seven months since Lu Liang decided to invest.

During this period, except for Tang Caidie who occasionally came to check the accounts, the first investor and the second investor did not care about the progress of the filming at all, as if nothing happened.

Guo Fan could understand why the second investor didn't care. After all, Xiao Wang followed Lu Liang's investment and followed his lead. If Lu Liang had no objection, then he had no problem either.

But the first investor has been ignoring everything, which Guo Fan couldn't understand. After all, he invested 300 million yuan, which accounted for 0.3% of his total wealth.

If you think about it carefully, less than 1% seems normal, but that is million yuan in total. Including Xiao Wang’s share, the total is million yuan.

If Lu Liang wanted to play with a certain actress, or wanted to promote a certain actress, Guo Fan would not be so panicked, because the key was that he did not make any requests at all.

There is nothing extra to seek when investing, it is purely for making money.

He had no confidence. This was such a hard science fiction, about a community with a shared future for mankind, with no young handsome men and no romance.

Can domestic entertainment audiences eat so well?

Around seven o'clock, Lu Liang arrived at the company.

"Hello, Mr. Lu. I hope you were not hurt yesterday."

Guo Fan hurried forward, showing an expression that was more concerned than if his own father had been in a car accident.

"Fortunately, nothing happened."

Lu Liang was puzzled and turned to look at Tang Caidie.

She shrugged, her face full of helplessness: "Mr. Lu, Director Guo has been waiting for you since three o'clock in the afternoon."

"You haven't eaten yet, let's go downstairs and eat something." Lu Liang laughed in silence. He had just finished exercising and was a little hungry.

A few people came to a Hunan restaurant near the building, where Lu Liang usually ate. The taste was slightly spicy and mainly fragrant.

While waiting for the food, Guo Fan took out his notebook and played a scene from a movie.

"Mr. Lu, please take a look. Is this okay?"

In the 128-minute film, only one brand sponsor appears, which is Tianxing Automobile.

The earth is wandering, with a snowy background, and the hero takes the heroine into a truck.

The camera gradually shifts from the male and female protagonists, and from the interior of the car to outside the car.

While explaining the background of extreme cold, the brand logo of Tianxing Automobile also appeared for the first time.

A four-pointed star.

In this movie, cars are very important vehicles, and similar shots will appear four more times.

In 2075, when the sun is about to be destroyed and humanity is facing despair, a bold plan called "The Wandering Earth" is proposed.

57 years later, the earth began to wander, but Tianxing Automobile remained standing and became the main vehicle for transporting goods.

“It’s a great shot, the images are very stunning.”

Listening to Guo Fan's story, the corners of Lu Liang's mouth gradually rose, and he understood why the flatterers in ancient times were so favored by the emperor.

Sure enough, everyone likes to listen to nice words, loves to listen to them, and is willing to listen to them more.

When running a business, there are small obstacles every year, big obstacles every three years, and life and death are uncertain in ten years.

Any company that can survive for more than 50 years is considered a great enterprise.

"Mr. Lu, we are planning to release the film during the summer. What do you think?"

Lu Liang was very optimistic about their little broken ball, which also gave Guo Fan a little ambition.

After all, the movies he invested in include Charlotte, The Richest Man, and Wolf Warrior, which have all been box office champions in recent years.

Are kings, princes, generals, and ministers of different species? A real man should be like this. Others can do it, and they may do it too.

It will be released during the summer vacation. If the market feedback is strong, it may be able to replicate the miracle of Wolf Warrior 2 last year.

Use the full summer vacation schedule, and then apply for a one-month key to take advantage of the Mid-Autumn Festival and National Day schedules.

Lu Liang was about to agree, because as his knowledge grew, he knew more and more.

Now he also knows why The Wandering Earth became so popular. The first domestic hard science fiction is just one of the reasons.

There are also contents expressed in the film, against the backdrop of escalating trade frictions and the Maritime Silk Road.

The concept of a community with a shared future for mankind can be said to be a very mainstream theme, which is in line with the country's positioning of implementing the kingly way.

Science fiction is also a mainstream theme in the world's entertainment industry, and is very suitable for exporting culture overseas. Unlike comedy, what is honey to one may be poison to another. With excellent production and concept support, it is not too easy to fill the 40 billion box office gap in domestic entertainment.

At this time, Tang Caidie, who had been silent all the time, suddenly said, "Mr. Lu, another movie we invested in is also scheduled to be released during the summer vacation."

"What's your name?" Lu Liang asked.

The company has a department specifically responsible for film and television investment. Generally, they screen the films first and then hand them over to Lu Liang’s office.

After all, they are well-known in the circle for having more money than work. No matter whether it is a big production or a small production, they will be contacted as long as there is a shortage of money.

Every one or two months, Lu Liang would check the list of film and television projects seeking investment to see if there were any familiar or predicted works.

The movies that can be released in the summer season should have been invested last year or the year before. It’s been so long and there are so many of them that he has no recollection of them.

Tang Caidie replied: "Wen Yemu's I Am Not the God of Medicine has a total production cost of 7500 million, and we invested 1500 million."

Lu Liang frowned, very impressed.

[Dying to Survive was released on September 9, with a total box office of 5 billion yuan]

If The Wandering Earth hadn't intervened, this movie would have been the box office champion this year.

It's just that their investment is not big, because the director of this movie is supported by Ning Hao and Xu Guangtou, and they asked Tianxing to invest just to share the risk.

"Mr. Tang, can we ask them to move to the schedule after National Day?" Lu Liang suddenly asked.

"It's difficult. After the National Day, there is only the Spring Festival period, and this movie is not very suitable for the Spring Festival period."

Tang Caidie shook her head. She had seen the full film and knew what story it was telling. It was still a good time to make dumplings during the Spring Festival.

Lu Liang pondered for a moment and said, "Director Guo, The Wandering Earth will be postponed until the Spring Festival."

Although he could put pressure on Ning Hao and Xu Guangtou to make way, this would obviously be against Tian Gang.

The purpose of investing in movies is to make money. The Wandering Earth can be released during the Spring Festival, but Medicine God cannot.

Because the subject matter does not match the festive atmosphere, even though it is titled as a comedy, the content does not make people happy.

"Okay, Mr. Lu, then I'll do as you say."

Guo Fan wanted to argue again that the little ball was definitely not inferior to others, but he remembered a rumor from last year.

Last year, Lu Liang reminded that "The Shameful Iron Fist", produced by Mahua, should not be released in the same period as "Wolf Warrior 2".

But Mahua CEO Zhang Chen insisted on his own way and insisted on competing head-on with "Wolf Warrior 2", but the result was like an egg hitting a rock.

A movie with a box office of at least 1.5 billion ended up with just over 1 billion.

And since then, Lu Liang has never invested in Happy Twist's movies again.

It can be said that he lost his wife and lost his troops.

There are also rumors that Zhang Chen tried his best to support Zhang Tianai, providing her with resources and allowing her to set up her own studio.

She was doing thankless things just to please Lu Liang. It was rumored online that the relationship between the two was unclear.

Guo Fan could still tell the difference between having a full meal and not being full every time.

He wanted to make The Wandering Earth into a series and tell the story completely, so he couldn't offend Lu Liang.

After all, it's just a matter of investing hundreds of millions into a movie, and there are very few people in China who can do that.

After dinner, Guo Fan said goodbye and left.

Lu Liang also returned to the company upstairs and first went to the private equity fund on the 17th floor.

When you enter the trading room, you will see three sections: offshore RMB, London gold, and Tesla.

For the first two markets, they were doing mid-term trading and would hold positions at least until July, so Lu Liang did not take short-term fluctuations seriously.

"Tesla's price has stabilized at $1200 again?" Lu Liang frowned and asked how much they had sold.

On the 15th of last month, they began to reduce their holdings, and more than half a month later, the stock price returned to the original point.

This is a very bad sign, indicating that Lu Liang’s influence on Tesla is weakening.

It can also be said that the brand's influence is getting stronger and stronger, and its stock price will no longer be affected by the factors of a certain individual.

Just like Buffett, who has held Apple for a long time, his share reduction and increase will not affect the stock price at all. At most, it will cause some trading fluctuations when buying and selling.

Because with Apple's current market position, it no longer needs to be favored by others.

To put it bluntly,
Who do you think you are? Do you think I need your attention?

Tesla seems to be following this trend.
