Magic Modified Huayu

Lin Chaoxian did not forget to look around at the audience's reactions.

Professional reviews are not important.

These are things that can be bought with money.

Observing the audience's reaction is the most realistic.

He thought the audience's reactions were very successful.

Including his previous film "Operation Red Sea", which also followed this approach.

So Lin Chao suddenly realized it.

"Boss Yu, step up the game. I've decided to focus on military films and not those fluffy, empty things. Let's focus on heavy industry, big productions, and patriotic dramas. If the audience likes it, we should make it, and make it vigorously."

Hearing Lin Chaoxian say this, Mr. Bernard Yu was also very happy.

He is very optimistic about Lin Chaoxian.

I am also optimistic about main-theme movies.

In his eyes, main theme + big production = high box office.

This has basically become a formula.

It’s just that there are too many traitors in the entertainment industry.

Even though he has capital, he can't find a few suitable big directors who can make good movies and make a patriotic living.

Lin Chaoxian now understands, which is great news for him.

"Director Lin, have you figured it out?"

Mr. Yu even had some doubts.

Could it be that he is like Wu Yusen, who first deceived people into investing in the mainland and then went to form an An Thai circle?

In the end it turned out to be a mess.

But Lin Chaoxian is indeed a little more pure than Wu Yusen.

"Mr. Yu, if you care about my face, please give priority to the actors I recommend. If you don't care about my face, as long as the investment is in place, you can use any actor."

Lin Chaoxian expressed his sincerity: "I just want to make movies, blockbusters, and commercial productions. They are exciting to make, and the effects will be better when they are released, and the audience will like them more. Director Wei is a very successful role model, and I want to learn from him."

The success stories are out there.

Only fools don't learn.

But don't say that.

You really don’t want to say that.

There are a lot of fools among the people in the entertainment industry.

In the circle of directors, the proportion of fools is particularly high.

There are so many successful examples out there, but they don't copy them.

I just want to be stubborn.

This is not just the case in the Chinese film industry.

It's a mess over in Hollywood too.

For the sake of political correctness, box office revenue is no longer necessary.

Director Wei often couldn’t understand why those capitalists were addicted to losing money?

The money-making model is no secret.

You don't pursue commercialization, but blackization... Chunchun can't get along with money.

The whole world is really a makeshift team.

Before he came into contact with Hollywood, Director Wei only felt that there were many makeshift teams in the Chinese film and television industry.

After getting in-depth exposure to Hollywood, Director Wei discovered that the whole world is the same.

It's not about who is better.

It’s about who operates worse.

As long as you get second place in a competition, you can often gain a temporary advantage.

Not only Director Wei noticed this, but Boss Yu also noticed it.

He is essentially a very sharp director.

After noticing the rise of patriotic sentiment in recent years, he, a pure capitalist, almost started to go all in on patriotic films.

Most of the films produced by Bernardo in recent years have played the patriotic card and the investment is not small.

The benefits are significant.

Path dependence has been formed.

Actually, this is not a big problem.

The problem is that many directors are unpatriotic from the bottom of their hearts.

How can an unpatriotic person, a person who does not believe in the mainstream theme from the bottom of his heart, make a good mainstream theme movie?

Boss Yu has also realized this problem.

But he couldn't help it.

Although the threshold for becoming a director is not high, there are probably not many directors in China who meet his requirements.

The films that he can personally invest in and produce are generally not small projects.

He really didn't dare let a new director take charge.

Lin Chaoxian is already the tallest among his short friends.

And it performed pretty well before.

Now hearing Lin Chaoxian's attitude, Boss Yu expressed great satisfaction.

"Director Lin, don't worry. As long as you can film well like Director Wei and don't do anything weird, I guarantee there won't be any problems with the investment."

Directors may each have their own anti-thief dreams.

The big boss of an entertainment company who holds hundreds of millions of dollars in capital would not dare to spend money recklessly even if his bottom is penniless.

After all, their money is their own, not blown by the wind.

Making money is always the most important thing.

Only when the money is not yours can you take photos recklessly.

And 99% of directors spend investors' money.

That's why they dare to take random photos.

Of course, there are exceptions.

Director Lu Chuan actually spent his own money on "749 Bureau". Because his movie was so bad, no big company in the industry was willing to invest in it.

After the capital chain broke, Lu Chuan rolled up his sleeves and did it himself.

I invested all my savings of many years into it.

Then a generally acknowledged bad movie was made.

I lost all my savings.

This is called a dish.

Unable to correctly understand one's own abilities.

At about the same time as "749 Bureau", another drama with a larger investment - the "Fengshen" trilogy - also broke its funding chain.

But Wu Ershan is much smarter than Luchuan.

Lu Chuan invested all his savings in the filming of "749 Bureau". In order to raise money, he also shot many commercials. It can be said that he gave it his all, although it was of no use.

Wu Ershan is different. Although his wealth is probably more substantial than Lu Shuai's, he would rather the "Investiture of the Gods" trilogy be stopped directly than invest his own money.

His greatest contribution to the production cost of the "Investiture of the Gods" trilogy was signing agency contracts for 90% of the new actors in the show.

Let them work for him.

investment?

He is much more self-aware than Lu Chuan.

Just cheat the investors.

Why bother yourself if there is nothing to do?

If he really put all his savings into filming the "Investiture of the Gods" trilogy like he did with Lu Chuan, the quality of the final product would probably be quite good.

After all, no one would joke about their own money, especially hundreds of millions of dollars.

The skewers are purely a dish.

He felt that he had made a masterpiece in film history.

Before Luchuan, there was another person who did the same thing, his name was Wu Jing. Luchuan has always looked down on non-professional directors like Wu Jing.

He thinks Wu Jingxing can do it too.

So he went up A.

Then he typed GG.

Wu Ershan didn't think he was incapable.

But a film series about gods and demons that claims to have invested 30 billion yuan mostly uses newcomers and actors from ethnic minorities... If he dares to spend this kind of money, it means he is dumber than eating skewers.

Of course he's not that stupid.

So he just wants investors to take the risk.

He just signs these actors and happily collects rent.

This is a business that is sure to make money.

But the intention was too obvious.

It's like treating others, especially investors, as fools.

Anyone could see what he was up to.

So people won’t be foolish enough to invest money to help him realize his dream.

Those who dare to invest have conditions or purposes.

So Wu Ershan was rejected a lot during this period.

In fact, this is actually somewhat related to Director Wei.

Because the original producer of the "Fengshen" trilogy was Jiang Zhiqiang.

The producer is a key figure responsible for the artistic quality and market prospects of a film.

Jiang Zhiqiang is one of the best overseas distributors in China. He has become famous in the circle mainly because of his overseas connections.

He has another identity:

He is the producer and overseas distributor of Li Amin and Zhang Yimou.

With him around, Wuershan's situation in the investment market wouldn't be so bad.

At least there is hope of getting some investment from overseas.

You have to admit that there are indeed many traitors in the domestic entertainment industry.

There is some money they cannot get by cheating in the country, but they can get by cheating in foreign countries.

Of course, it could also be a two-way journey.

Unfortunately, Director Wei killed Jiang Zhiqiang in this life.

Jiang Zhiqiang had offended Director Wei before.

The fake box office of "Monster Hunt" that caused a sensation in China at the time was orchestrated by Jiang Zhiqiang.
