Chapter 182 New Allies
Chapter 182 New Allies
Although Wang Hao and Ma Ke said that the new project would not start until after the New Year, that was the official filming of the movie.
Before this, the preliminary preparations for "Source Code" had actually begun in an orderly manner.
After all, they had been to Hollywood for exchanges and learning, and had purchased new software and equipment. They had to study and figure out the production techniques of "pre-shooting" and "packaging into boxes" first.
As for the funding issue, Wang Hao was not too anxious.
After all, he still has a house in Beijing, and Galaxy Interactive Entertainment Company also has the film copyrights and the film and television adaptation rights of many novels, all of which can be used for mortgage loans.
Given the current good operating conditions of Galaxy Interactive Entertainment, I think those banks would also be willing to do this kind of business.
But there is no rush for these. When making a movie, why would you use your own money?
While the behind-the-scenes staff of Galaxy Interactive Entertainment were using "Source Code" as an opportunity to experiment with new technologies, Wang Hao had already begun looking for investors for his new film project.
And just as he had said to Marco before, with his current status and past achievements, when the news of this new film project leaked out a little, someone soon came to him.
The first people to contact Wang Hao were not someone else, but the two brothers from Huayi who had previously cooperated with Galaxy Interactive Entertainment twice and reaped a lot of benefits.
They had eaten meat before on "Fatal Call".
They also got a taste of the bloody taste in the recent "Wushuang".
Although they have not yet received that share of the profits, this is enough to make them full of confidence in Wang Hao.
Especially after working together several times, although Wang Hao did not tell them about the science fiction movie universe, the two shrewd brothers have already vaguely realized from several of Wang Hao's projects that he must have some bigger plan.
So when the news of this new project came out, Wang Zhongjun called Wang Hao.
Wang Hao did not reject the two brothers' desire to participate in the new project. On the contrary, he was actually very happy to take the two brothers to play together.
This is not because he has a good relationship with the two brothers, nor because the two brothers are very capable, but because he has memories of the future and knows.
Huayi Company, that’s the rabbit’s tail – it can’t grow long!
Yes, if Huayi develops smoothly in the future, Wang Hao may have to think twice to avoid creating a rival for himself.
But with capital invading the entertainment industry in the future, Huayi’s development can only be described as going from strength to strength.
Not only did it lose 63 billion in four years, but its business model also had major problems in the later stages, and it had to rely on layoffs to survive.
Since they would not aid the enemy, Wang Hao naturally didn't mind cooperating with the two brothers.
On the contrary, if Bona came to him, Wang Hao would have to think twice.
It just seems that as soon as you mention Cao Cao, he will appear.
Not long after Wang Hao finished chatting with Mr. Wang from Huayi, Mr. Yu from Bona actually called him.
On the phone, Mr. Yu exchanged a few polite words with Wang Hao, and then in between his words, he implicitly expressed his desire to cooperate with him.
He even said that Bona could just invest money but would never interfere in anything related to the project.
This condition is quite generous.
However, after exchanging some polite words with the other party, Wang Hao found a reason and politely declined.
After Bona, Emperor Entertainment Group’s Huo Wenxi also called Wang Hao soon, and this time Wang Hao’s attitude was different again.
After all, the two had worked together on the set of "Wushuang" for so long, and they had some friendship with each other. Therefore, Wang Hao still gave a portion of the investment share of "Source Code" to Emperor Entertainment Group.
After that, Wang Hao ignored the remaining not-so-famous film and television production companies.
After all, Huayi and Emperor Entertainment Group have already taken up a part of the investment share, and for the remaining share, he still needs to find some people who can facilitate the filming of "Source Code".
For example...
"Mr. Xu, welcome! Welcome!"
Wang Hao, along with several of his subordinates, stood in front of the new office building that Galaxy Interactive Entertainment had just moved into not long ago, located in the CP area of Shangjing, and greeted the four or five people in front of them with a smile.
The leader, a middle-aged man in his forties, was also surprised when he saw Wang Hao. He quickly quickened his pace and greeted Wang Hao with a smile.
"Boss Wang, you are too polite!"
He took the initiative to hold Wang Hao's outstretched right hand, shook it vigorously, and said with a smile:
“I had only heard about Mr. Wang on the news before, but now that we’ve met, I finally understand what a young talent is.
I heard that Mr. Wang, your new movie has grossed over 80 million overseas, and the global box office has already exceeded 100 million.
It is not easy to represent the Chinese people and achieve such results overseas! It is not easy! "
After Mr. Xu finished speaking, he shook Wang Hao's hand again. His expression and tone revealed a sense of intimacy from the inside out.
Wang Hao looked at the outgoing Mr. Xu and couldn't help but secretly praise him in his heart.
As expected of the Vice President of the Magic Shadow Group, it is not easy for him to be so respectful to others.
Yes, the Mr. Xu that Wang Hao personally came to greet today was none other than Xu Peng, the vice president of Shanghai Film Group.
The purpose of their visit to Galaxy Interactive Entertainment today was nominally for inspection, but in fact it was for Wang Hao's new film project.
"Mr. Xu, you are too kind."
Facing this God of Wealth who came to his doorstep, Wang Hao was also very enthusiastic. While smiling and being polite to the other party, he extended his hand to lead the people from the Magic Shadow Group into the company.
"Compared to you, the Phantom, my little achievement is nothing.
Mr. Xu, you don’t know that I have liked the cartoons produced by your company since I was a child, such as "Journey to the West: Conquering the Dragon King", "Nezha Conquers the Dragon King", "The Magic Book", "Black Cat Sheriff", etc. They are all art.
My movies are nothing compared to this.”
The guests sat down in the large conference room of Galaxy Interactive Entertainment, talking and laughing happily, and the atmosphere was very harmonious.
After hearing what Wang Hao said, Mr. Xu couldn't help but reveal a bitter smile despite his pride.
"Alas, that's all old news. It's also our fault that we, the younger generation, haven't lived up to our expectations and have failed to carry forward the legacy of our predecessors."
As he said this, he shook his head again and looked at Wang Hao.
"Let's not talk about this anymore. Instead of dwelling on the past, we should look to the future.
Young and outstanding new-age filmmakers like you, Mr. Wang, are the future hope of our Chinese film and television industry.”
