Chapter 760
In a reception room of Hantang Media, Wang Baoqiang and Wang Yibing waited anxiously.

Ever since Tang An heard at the banquet after the premiere that Tang An was very interested in Huang Bo's new film and was willing to invest in it, Wang Baoqiang immediately found a screenwriter after returning home to make the original film more or less the same. Polish the script.

Although Huang Bo was able to get the investment, Wang Baoqiang felt that he was fine, but he was still a little nervous, and asked Wang Yibing next to him, "Old Wang, do you think Director Wang will invest?"

Wang Yibing comforted, "Don't worry, didn't you find out from Huang Bo last night, Dong Dong agreed to him personally, you must be fine."

Wang Baoqiang was a little more relieved. He had been paying attention to Huang Bo's movements, and went to check on him last night. At that time, he, Ning Hao, and Xu Zheng were the only ones there. Huang Bo also said that Tang An had passed away. He promised to invest, but he didn't say the specific situation.

Now actors, writers, and presenters are all starting to make movies, and all of them are selling well, even higher than the box office of the movies of many big directors.

Many well-known people in the showbiz are excited, and they are ready to participate in the movie and make a lot of money.

As long as you are famous, you almost don't have to worry about investing.

With Wang Baoqiang's reputation and popularity with the audience, it's not a problem to get an investment, but the quality of investment varies from person to person.

Tang An's investment can maximize the guarantee of the box office, but it is difficult to say for ordinary small and medium-sized companies, or even outside capital.

The same investment in the two companies allowed him to choose, and he would definitely choose Tang An.

Wang Baoqiang relaxed a little, and asked again, "By the way, Lao Wang, why didn't I see you at the premiere that day? What are you up to?"

Wang Yibing smiled and said, "I talked to a few investors about the matter. I want to help you get a blockbuster movie. This year's "Frozen: Gate of Rebirth" failed, so it will have some impact."

Wang Baoqiang didn't doubt that he was there, and instead talked about some film appointments with Wang Yibing.

Not long after, Tang An walked into the reception room before planning their conversation.

"Hello Tang Dong." The two stood up to say hello again and again.

Tang An sat down and greeted, "Sit down, listen to the secretary, Baoqiang, you have a project in hand?"

No nonsense, straight to the point.

Wang Baoqiang immediately handed over the script and planning book in his hand, "Wang Dong, this is a script that Mr. Su and I studied together. It tells a modern version of the story of Journey to the West. Now the theme of Journey to the West is very popular. The modern version of Journey to the West should have a great market."

Wang Baoqiang introduced his thoughts there, and Tang An nodded with a smile.

The script was written by Wang Baoqiang and Su Huan. Su Huan is also a well-known screenwriter. He wrote the two classic comedy TV series "I Love My Family" and "Superman Sister Ma". All have his participation.

The story happened like this, Tang Zong, the president of a large group, passed away suddenly and left a will, asking his son Tang Sen to go to India to find the will accompanied by the poor boy Wu Kong.

The two met the narcissistic but loyal Zhu Tianpeng by chance in India, and the beautiful and sexy but hidden beauty Wu Jing.

In a standard road movie, the protagonists are usually two or three people who want to do one thing together, but have different personalities. There will be conflicts in the middle, and then they will quarrel, part ways, and then flash back to the happy time together, as if they realized something. of.

Then when the villain came to beat a certain person, another person would jump out of nowhere and participate in the fight. Of course, it was a perfect ending with tears of joy.

Almost all road comedies can follow this template, and comedies are the least scripted.

Action movies are about fighting, and comedy movies are about watching jokes.

And the most important thing is the actors. No matter how good the action design is, the effects of different actors will be different.

The same is true for comedy. With the same exaggerated facial expressions, some actors can make the audience smile knowingly, while others can only make people feel embarrassed.

The plot is not important, the actors and directors are the top priority.

If Wang Baoqiang still finds Bai Ke and Yue Yunpeng to act, then 100% will not be much better than the original version.

From the point of view of casting, it violated the big taboo of road movies. The protagonists are all kind of funny and funny. Together, they will embarrass the audience to death.

What "Havoc in Tianzhu" lacks is not creativity, nor is it a script, but a comedy star with a different style of acting from Wang Baoqiang.

Without actors, even if the characters are changed, the styles of Bai Ke and Yue Yunpeng are there, and it is useless.

Although it won't be a big seller, it is certain to make money, and it doesn't matter if you invest in it.

However, Tang An still asked some more questions, "Baoqiang, are you ready to make a movie?"

When Wang Baoqiang heard about You Youxi, he said confidently, "Don't worry, Director Tang, every time I go to a production crew in the past two years, I will study and learn from the director about the scheduling of the entire crew, how to make the characters more distracted, how to speak What a story, I also learned from the teachers of photography, lighting and props, so that every link of the movie will not go wrong."

Tang An nodded noncommittally, and asked him some movie ideas, and finally agreed to invest.

"Well, let me ask someone to make a cost estimate first. I'm going to India to film a movie. The production fee of 6000-[-] million is indispensable. I will pay half of it. You can invest the rest yourself, and then find two companies to join in. .”

Seeing that Tang An agreed immediately, Wang Baoqiang was overjoyed, and quickly said, "Thank you Tang Dong, I am relieved to have half of your investment."

Nothing else is a problem, as long as Tang Anken invests half of it, then Han Tang will definitely support his film, and more than half of it will be successful.

Stepping into the ranks of directors from an actor, and then becoming a capital, truly standing at the top of the entire industry is much better than being an actor alone.

No matter how awesome an actor is, he is also an actor, unless he can reach the level of Cheng Long, he will really be in his early years.

But Cheng Long himself is not just an actor, he has directed and acted in 16 films so far, not just an action director, but a real director.

Moreover, most of the scripts are written by themselves. They are real all-round talents in editing, directing and acting, and besides producing, they also serve as producers.

It can be said that in the entire film and television industry, there are few people who are more versatile than Cheng Long.

If you can't get to that point, even the most popular first-line star is nothing in front of big companies.

This time, I think that I will take this step, become a director, become a capital, reach the top of the entertainment circle, and reach the pinnacle of life. Thinking about Wang Baoqiang, I am very excited.

We talked about two projects in a row, and they were all actors who came across the border.

However, the fact that Huang Bo and Wang Baoqiang came to Hantang successively was also known to other companies that have been following Hantang. After a little inquiring, they also knew the idea of ​​these two popular stars preparing to become directors themselves.

Xu Zheng, Zhao Wei, and Deng Chao have proved that it is possible for an actor to change careers to become a director, and Zhao Wei's first film sold more than 7 million yuan, and Deng Chao also sold more than 6 million yuan. It can be said that it is entirely due to their fame.

However, the two writers Guo Jinming and Han Han have both succeeded, and major companies are still very optimistic about famous stars as directors.

This time, after learning the news that the two of them were going to make a movie, all major companies started to take action.
