Chapter 321
Chapter 318
When Su Ye and Li Qianqian were playing in the imperial capital.
In Qingyun Technology’s office, Wang Yifei received a call.
“Wang Sheng, Thunder Monkey.”
“Is it convenient to talk now?”
Last time, in order to shoot a promotional film about the legend of the blood, Wang Yifei saved the phone numbers of those celebrities, and left a few signatures.
This time it was Zheng Zidan who called.
“Hello, Mr. Zheng, it is convenient for me now.”
After the Hot Blood Legend went live, Wang Yifei also regained some instincts.
However, he did not indulge himself as much as before, except for work, that is, occasionally joking and talking to colleagues.
The QQ game department has never seen such a scene where the whole people play games.
“That’s the case. After the last time I finished the advertisement, I got to know your company and found that Qingyun Technology is still a well-known company in the Internet industry in the Mainland.”
“I found a script two days ago and would like to ask if you have any investment intentions here.”
Zheng Zidan asked.
As the new top actor in the Year of the Rat in Hong Kong, Zheng Zidan is now at a hot time.
With countless capital, film and television companies are waving banknotes to allow him to participate in his own movies.
But Zheng Zidan, who has already won the actor once, wants to make some movies he wants to make this time.
By chance, he met a screenwriter in Hong Kong City who had been writing scripts for more than 10 years but was not well-known, and saw a script that surprised him.
But after discussing with several big companies, they all rejected him.
The reason is that no one has watched kung fu movies, especially martial arts movies.
It is not the purpose of the major film and television companies to make movies that cost a lot of money to make a loss in the end.
The reason why they pursue Zheng Zidan is because they want him to help them shoot commercial films.
It’s not a so-called martial arts movie that makes people have no desire to shoot and it is absolutely impossible to make money.
In desperation, Zheng Zidan did not listen to the persuasion of the broker, but continued to go his own way and went out to find investment by himself.
But after searching all the major companies in Hong Kong City, none of them were interested.
The agent next to Zheng Zidan couldn’t help but attacked him: “Zidan, people in Hong Kong now know that you are going to make a martial arts movie that loses money. If you insist on making it, why not look for those companies in the Mainland? ?”
“Mainland companies?”
Zheng Zidan was stunned for a moment.
The film and television industry in Hong Kong City is still at its final peak.
I am a star from Hong Kong City, and instead of filming in Hong Kong City to attract investment, I go inland. In the eyes of people just now, he is a young man.
Moreover, even if I want to find any mainland company, I don’t know anyone.
In recent years, there have been many actors, directors, photographers, and screenwriters in Hong Kong City from the Mainland, but there has never been a Hong Kong filmmaker who has ever gone to the Mainland.
“Didn’t you even shoot a promotional video for a game company in the mainland last month?”
“Now the mainland companies are the ones with stupid people and a lot of money. Would you like to try it.”
The agent Qi Shan kept talking more and more vigorously.
“Yes, go to the mainland. Since Zidan, you want to make this movie, and no one here in Hong Kong is willing to invest, let’s go to the mainland.”
“Didn’t the person in charge of that game company like your movie very much last time?”
“Let’s find him, you can call him now.”
“Call now, will they be working?”
Zheng Zidan’s personality is relatively introverted, and he feels that he is looking for cooperation with others with the idea that everyone in the Mainland is stupid and rich. People must be unhappy in their hearts.
Investing in movies, those people have the idea of making money.
If I couldn’t pit locals just now, I went to pit outsiders?
There is no such thing.
Seeing Zheng Zidan still sitting there thinking, the agent Qi Shan directly picked up Zheng Zidan’s cell phone and found Wang Yifei’s phone.
“Zidan, hit it, whether it’s done or not, let’s ask it, right?”
Zheng Zidan made up his mind, if Wang Yifei refused, he would not consider the movie.
Make commercial films for a few years first, and when you make enough money, invest yourself.
Zheng Zidan, who has studied martial arts since he was a child, has made mostly commercial films in recent years. In his mind, what he most wants to do is to be able to make a kung fu film after he has become famous.
Do not.
Strictly speaking, it should be a martial arts movie.
A movie that tells the story of Longhan’s traditional martial arts.
And the script gave Zheng Zidan a bright feeling.
After holding the phone, Zheng Zidan pressed the dial button after a slight entanglement for three seconds.
“Wang Sheng, Thunder Monkey.”
“Is it convenient to talk now?”
After Zheng Zidan finished speaking, Wang Yifei fell into deep thought.
If you can make a movie for the company, then you must agree without saying a word.
After all, it is Zheng Zidan.The boss who has just become a new actor, with him, has a reputation at the box office.
Moreover, if Qingyun Technology invests itself, then I have the opportunity to find time to visit a class from time to time.
Wang Yifei would definitely be happy to have such a good opportunity to have close contact with idols.
But no way, the company belongs to Su Ye.
Although Su Ye had already said that transfers below the tens of millions of funds level can be used by the head of the department without signing and agreeing.
As long as you pass the financial review at the end of the month.
Because Su Ye has never checked the money consumption of various departments, but no one has been full of private pockets.
Su Ye is so grand, you cheat him once, and the money you make is far less than the benefits that you can get by following Su Ye all the time.
Moreover, Su Ye gave the bosses of each department so much authority, so naturally he had also seen everyone’s character value.
I know how to hand over such a large amount of funds to everyone.
“Mr. Zheng, I need to think about this.”
“After all, I am only the person in charge of a department of the company, and I cannot directly give you a positive or negative answer.”
“Okay, I understand what you mean.”
Zheng Zidan was not good at words at first, but when Wang Yifei said so, he felt hopeless and ready to give up.
The next agent Qi Shan picked up the script on the desktop and kept shaking in front of Zheng Zidan.
“Ask them if they need to look at the script outline.”
Qi Shan whispered.
The reason why Qi Shan only gave the script summary, Qi Shan also had his own careful thinking.
What if the mainland company sees that the script is good and wants to ignore Zheng Zidan and shoot it himself.
At present, the film and television industry in the Mainland is still developing very slowly. Only a few more famous singers and film and television stars are supported by the big names of the older generation.
The younger generation has no people at all. If they see a good script and want to win over the stars, don’t they just have to go to the basket?
Zheng Zidan nodded and said: “Wang Sheng, do you need to read the script?”
“If necessary, I will send the general content of the script to your mailbox.”
“Yes, no problem at all.”
Within a few minutes after Wang Yifei hung up, he received an email from Zheng Zidan.
Judging from the information received in the mailbox, Wang Yifei is still very interested in this movie.
Movie Title: Ip Man
Investment quota: about 65 million
Shooting time: about 4-6 months
Estimated box office: about 100 million
Summary of the story: In a special period, the kingdom of Gou Ri invaded the Longhan Empire, and Ip Man was a Wing Chun boxer with profound martial arts…
It’s just a summary of the story with more than 500 words. Wang Yifei read it with gusto.
This movie is not bad.
There are flesh and blood, love and righteousness, family and country, small and big.
If it can be photographed, it will definitely be well received by the market.
Can!
After thinking about it carefully, Wang Yifei took out his mobile phone and called Su Ye.
“President Su, I have something to tell you about…”
As soon as the call was connected, Wang Yifei heard a noisy sound from the microphone.
During the day, Mr. Su wouldn’t be dancing in the bar, right?
“what?”
“Wait a minute, I am too noisy here.”
Su Ye handed all the game coins in his hand to Li Qianqian to signal that he went out to answer the phone.
This is a large game and entertainment venue on the street.
As soon as Su Ye opened the door, he felt a gust of cold wind.
My grass, this weather in the imperial capital, it really won’t work without heating.
Su Ye saw Wang Yifei’s name displayed on the phone and asked: “Yifei, what’s the matter?”
“President Su, the star of Hong Kong City just called me and asked if we should invest in his movies.”
“Huh? Movie? What movie.”
“The name of the film is Ye Wen, and it tells the story of a patriotic boxer in a special period.”
“I have read the general content, and I think it’s pretty good.”
“Ip man?”
Su Ye remembered that in his previous life, a star had made all four of Ye Wen’s movies.
After more than 10 years, this is a very good movie in the audience’s images.
From the first part, the second part, the third part, until the final chapter, Ye Man’s box office was higher than the first one, eventually reaching more than 1 billion.
In addition, there was a burst of Ip-Wen-style self-introduction on the Internet at that time:
Wing Chun, Ip Man.
“Yifei, which star is looking for you.”
“How much is the investment amount.”
“It’s Zheng Zidan, the one who just won the actor of Hong Kong City last year.”
“The investment is almost 65 million yuan.”
“Just so little?”
Su Ye was stunned.
In his mind, the investment in movies can be hundreds of millions, even hundreds of millions.
Some movies with a lot of special effects are simply burning money to make movies.
For Su Ye, the amount of investment for a well-known Ye Wen was only 65 million, which was too low.
Not even a science and technology point can be exchanged.
After a recent period of large consumption, Su Ye has more than 10 points in his hands.
Although these points can also be exchanged for some small technology products, technology and other related materials, they are not very useful for Su Ye.
What he wants is the kind of information that can bring about a certain technological innovation.
If the points in his hand are enough to redeem the related technology of the smartphone, Su Ye does not have to ask Yang Zhiyuan to produce any high-quality and inexpensive feature phones.
“Yifei, you look back to learn more about this matter.”
“If Zheng Zidan played in person, we would vote.”
“In addition, I also have a request.”
“Said President Su.”
Wang Yifei forcibly suppressed the excitement in his heart and asked patiently.
President Su actually agreed, which shows that he will have various opportunities and excuses to meet with his idol in the future.
“Quality must be guaranteed!”
“It doesn’t matter if you don’t have enough money, but you must make the best movie.”
“No matter from the props, costumes, scenes, and personnel, let the director make it hard.”
“Don’t save me money.”
“This is the first film of Qingyun Technology’s investment. In any case, we must show our tolerance.”
“Yes, I understand.”
Hanging up the phone, Wang Yifei couldn’t help but slander, our Qingyun technology’s tolerance.
Qingyun Technology is still magnanimous?
During the weekends from nine to five weekends, didn’t Mr. Su say that it was the company’s corporate culture?
When did he show another tolerance.
However, Wang Yifei also quickly reacted to what Su Ye had just said.
The so-called Qingyun technology’s tolerance should be a local tyrant, it’s not bad for money.
Forcibly suppressing the excitement in his heart, Wang Yifei dialed out the call.
In the apartment of Zheng Zidan, Gangcheng.
Zheng Zidan said helplessly to Qi Shan: “Qi Shan, look, let me just say it.”
“There are not so many stupid people in mainland companies. We are thinking of deceiving people, and we will definitely not succeed.”
“You must treat people with sincerity.”
“I have decided. If Wang Sheng does not reply to me within three days, I will press this idea for the time being and make some commercial films for a few years.”
“Zidan, don’t worry.”
“I know the personalities of people from the mainland best. They have a good face.”
“The reason why I didn’t promise you right away was because I was worried that you thought they didn’t have a city mansion.”
“It’s okay to wait patiently for a week. If there is no reply after a week, we will officially start working.”
Qi Shan seemed to have lengthened Zheng Zidan’s waiting time, but in fact, he knew it.
Although Zheng Zidan looked calm and heavy, he didn’t encounter anything he liked.
Otherwise, he wouldn’t be so excited after seeing Ye Wen’s script, even if he didn’t make any money, he would have to make this movie.
What Qi Shan is playing with this hand is just wanting to catch up, wanting Zheng Zidan to take over and start work as soon as possible, and not being able to face him will easily arouse Zheng Zidan’s rebellious emotions.
You have to follow him and think about him, so that after three days have passed, Zheng Zidan can’t help himself and start working.
After all, if you start working one day earlier and make money one day earlier, you can start filming the movie he likes earlier in the future.
“No, Qi Shan, just wait three days.”
After Zheng Zidan finished speaking, he picked up his mobile phone and prepared to go out.
“Ashan, I am going to work out, do you want to go together?”
“I won’t…”
“Dingling bell, Jingling bell.”
At this moment, the phone in Zheng Zidan’s hand suddenly rang.
He looked at the electric display and was pleasantly surprised.
Returning to himself so quickly, Wang Sheng definitely wanted to know more details.
When sending out the summary of the story just now, Zheng Zidan said to send it all over there at once.
As a result, Qi Shan dissuaded him for a long time. The executives of the company certainly didn’t have so much time to read the specific script.
Summarizing the past can not only allow the other party to understand the content of the movie, but also save time.
Zheng Zidan didn’t argue with him, so he sent the email.It’s time. It’s time for Wang Sheng to finish reading the email for such a long time.
Being able to reply to myself in such a short period of time, it seems that the other party is worthy of my own fan.
“Wang Sheng, hello, do you understand the plot?”
“Understood, the plot is very good.”
“However, Mr. Zheng, if this movie is made, do you really estimate it will be 100 million at the box office?”
Although I like Zheng Zidan, I also like this movie called Ye Wen.
But Wang Yifei, who has always liked to watch Hong Kong movies, also knows that this kind of kung fu movie is not popular at all on the market now.
As early as more than 10 years ago, filmmakers in Hong Kong City had already shot Kung Fu movies to the point where there was no future.
Now making kung fu movies is very likely to lose money.
Especially when I met Su Ye, a wealthy investor.
“Uh, yes, there should be.”
“Wang Sheng, I have been making movies for so many years, and I can still have some insights into the quality and box office of a movie.”
“The box office of this movie is too much to say, but there is no problem with reaching 100 million.”
Zheng Zidan magnified the volume of the phone under Qi Shan’s gesture. Hearing Zheng Zidan’s answer, Qi Shan nodded and gave him a thumbs up.
Sure enough, the most deadly is an honest person to deceive others.
Because you don’t think he will lie to you.
The image for so many years has been rooted in the hearts of others, and no one would have thought that even a mature star like Zheng Zidan would tell lies.
“Well, Mr. Zheng, you are an insider, and I believe everything you said.”
“Your movie, Qingyun Technology voted.”
“Okay, thank you, then you need to look at the script… what?”
Zheng Zidan only reacted at this time.
Just now Wang Yifei told him that they cast this movie?
Voted?
Is this going to vote?
Don’t hold meetings to discuss, don’t understand the market dynamics.
I don’t know the industry pattern or the future development.
That’s it, relying on one of your own phone calls and an email to make a hasty decision to vote?
You Qingyun Technology is so rich that you made the decision so hastily.
However, Zheng Zidan felt a little sad after receiving the news.
What Qi Shankou said just now, he still remembers the fact that everyone in the Mainland is stupid and has a lot of money.
Zheng Zidan used his personal settings accumulated over the years to get a step of 65 million film investment.
If this movie makes Qingyun Technology lose the money, it will be very detrimental to its future development of the film and television industry.
“Wang Sheng, do you still need to think about it?”
“Is it a bit too quick to make an investment decision like this.”
“It’s not fast anymore.”
“After all, there is the name of Mr. Zheng’s new movie emperor here, so if you lose money, we won’t worry about it.”
“Moreover, the boss of our company gave me a special account just now.”
“Oh, what’s the matter.”
“He said, since it is a movie starring Mr. Zheng Zidan, then we must do our best in all aspects.”
“Whether it is the choice of actors, props, costumes, venues, and personnel, as long as there is a need, you can increase your budget indefinitely.”
“Of course, we will also send professional financial personnel to oversee the use of funds.”
Hearing Wang Yifei’s dictation from the CEO of Qingyun Technology, Zheng Zidan’s heart became more and more uncomfortable.
The other party trusts himself so much, and he deceives others in order to satisfy the thoughts in his heart.
This is really lacking in martial arts.
“Wang Sheng, there is something I want to clarify with you.”
“do not want!”
Qi Shan whispered, and covered Zheng Zidan’s mouth.
“Zidan, if you want to realize your ideals, then don’t talk at this time.”
“It is impossible for you to give a definite answer for the box office matter.”
“All you can do is to perform hard during the filming.”
“Do you understand?”
Zheng Zidan nodded to express his understanding, Qi Shan just let go of his hand.
As a result, Zheng Zidan strangled Qi Shan’s arm with his backhand, pushed him onto the sofa, and then used his legs to control his movements and spoke to the phone.
“Wang Sheng, I must tell you in advance that making a movie is risky.”
“Even if you are optimistic about Ye Wen now, he may still be on the street.”
“If you can’t be the master, it’s best to tell your superiors.”
“Otherwise, don’t blame me for just saying good things to you, without predicting the risk.”
Qi Shan looked up at Zheng Zidan on the sofa.
He didn’t understand why there are still such stupid and persistent people in the world.
