Chapter 373 Is there something shady?
"Master Huan!"

"Hey, Old Chen!"

Yang Huan heard someone yelling, turned around, saw that it was Chen Kexin, and immediately laughed.

Chen Kexin smiled wryly, am I very old?

"Master Huan, thank you!" Chen Kexin raised his glass and said sincerely.

Yang Huan also raised it up, and gave him a bang, but didn't drink, and asked with a smile, "Thank you for what?"

"Thank you for investing in my film partner."

Chen Kexin was not tall, so he had to raise his head slightly when talking to Yang Huan.

Therefore, Yang Huan could see all his expressions.

"I regard him as a work of rectification!"

Obviously, Chen Kexin has finally found the courage to prove himself again after being hit by the movies of Tou Ming, October Siege and Wuxia.

He needs such a film to adjust his mentality, so that he can be more involved in filming the war epic of the Chinese Expeditionary Army, and then make the best film of this Chinese film with the highest investment in history.

"Don't thank me, thank you Miss Zhang, she supports you, I believe in her, and I believe in you too!"

Chen Kexin nodded, thank you for your kindness, he understands!

Yang Huan didn't care too much about Chen Kexin's thoughts, it was beyond his control.

He began to focus on the people beside Chen Kexin.

Besides his girlfriend Wu Yunru, there is also a fat man who always smiles.

"Wang Jing!"

"Hello, Mr. Yang Huan!" Wang Jing's fat face immediately burst into laughter.

"Hello, I really like your movies!"

Yang Huan is honest, Wang Jing is also a filmmaker he admires very much.

Unexpectedly, when Yang Huan mentioned it, Wang Jing smiled wryly, "Don't mention it, I'm almost out of luck!"

"why?"

Wu Yunru laughed at the side, "The director who claims to be the best at making commercial films in Hong Kong, he messed it up!"

Wang Jing was obviously old friends with them, so he just laughed and didn't take it seriously.

Instead, it was Chen Kexin who immediately explained.

"He made money from TV dramas before, but he hasn't made money or lost money from movies for many years. This time, he is determined to play a big game, even the name of the movie is Big Shanghai!"

Yang Huan had seen this movie in his previous life, and it was released at the end of [-], but it was a pity that he met with Thai Jiong, and the box office failed miserably.

This is interesting, because Thailand 囧 invested by himself, and his own people must support it.

"It's okay, who can guarantee that every movie I make will make money?" Yang Huan is quite optimistic.

"Well, why don't you go find someone else for your next movie, I voted for it!"

Wang Jing was dumbfounded now, "Is it true?"

"I didn't say anything!" Yang Huan was also proud and agreed on the spot.

It feels like investing in a movie is like buying a toy worth tens of dollars.

Wang Jing was also happy now, and immediately took Yang Huan to drink two glasses.

As soon as the movie was talked about, this guy really got excited, and he couldn't even stop it.

"Actually, Master Huan, your Chinese Expeditionary Army has a good theme, is not difficult to censor, and has a strong storyline, but it is not suitable for Lao Chen. He is not good at making this kind of movie."

When Wang Jing said this, Chen Kexin was a little embarrassed, but he didn't object.

"Old Chen's filming of the famous film and the siege of October is more or less catering to the wishes of investors, but he is not good at this kind of commercial film mode. What he is good at is sentimental, sweet and commercial films, especially war films. He can't control it."

Wang Jing can be regarded as Chen Kexin's senior, and he is also a Hong Kong director who claims to be the best at making commercial films. He must have his reasons for saying this, but Yang Huan also has his own considerations.

"I know it too, but this time I'm filming the Chinese Expeditionary Army. The theme I'm focusing on is feelings!"

After all, Wang Jing is a smart person, and he can see through it.

"You mean, reflect on the war?"

Speaking of this, Wang Jing couldn't help but sighed, and said with a smile: "Master Huan, you have a lot of ambition!"

"What do you think?" Yang Huan asked.

In terms of understanding of movies, Yang Huan can't even catch up with Wang Jing.

"Master Huan, I have something to say, I wonder if I can say it?"

Yang Huan was taken aback, nodded with a smile and said, "Of course I can."

Wang Jing looked at Chen Kexin again, and the latter nodded.

After several contacts with Master Huan, Chen Kexin still knows Yang Huan very well.

For things that he doesn't understand, Yang Huan is very open-minded to accept other people's opinions and suggestions.

"Actually, 33 Days of Broken Relationship is not as good as it appears at the box office. Even in my opinion, the movie can sell well in Asia, and the box office in North America is not bad. The main reason is the appeal of the stars."

Yang Huan couldn't help nodding after hearing this.

Fatty Wang's words really hit the nail on the head.

"This movie is still telling the story of us Chinese, the story of the capital, so it has a high box office in China. In Asia, especially East Asia and Southeast Asia, the culture is very close, and it has celebrity appeal, so the box office is also high."

"But in regions such as Europe and North America, the box office is much lower, and it can only be supported by Lin Yuner."

Yang Huan still agrees with this statement, because it is very similar to the market research results conducted by Miracle Entertainment.

It can be seen that Fatty Wang has a level.

"If you say that making a movie is telling a story, then if you want this story to go abroad and be accepted by people all over the world, you have to elevate the story's vision from the Chinese and tell stories about all mankind."

"A Hamlet-style story was made into a night banquet in China. This is a dark story that even Chinese people can't stand, but in Hollywood, it was made into The Lion King. This is a positive and sunny story that most people like. This is the gap in the level of storytelling."

Yang Huan couldn't help but nodded, Fatty Wang's words really touched his heart.

He has been wondering for a long time, what is the biggest difference between Chinese movies and American movies?
As far as the so-called film industry is concerned, today is the era of globalization. If you can't make it yourself, you can't do it by asking others to make it. Our big China has nothing else but a lot of money!

Now that Fatty Wang said this, Yang Huan felt a sudden realization!
Storytelling vision, which is truly something no amount of money can buy!
"It's actually easy to realize this, but it's very difficult to do it!" Wang Jing said with a sigh.

"Why?" Yang Huan was surprised.

Yeah, since you realize this, there must be a lot of filmmakers who also realize this.

Why is no one doing it?

"The censorship system is like a sword of Damocles hanging over the head, but this is not the scariest thing. What is really scary is that the pressure of censorship is layered on top of each other. In the end, it becomes self-censorship, and investors become the biggest hurdle instead."

"Investor?" Yang Huan was surprised.

"Yes, investors, because making a movie is a commercial activity, and the purpose of the investor is to make money. If the movie is made and cannot be released because it cannot pass the censorship, the investor will lose a lot. Therefore, before submitting the film for review, investors will often self-censor and delete some controversial points that may cause sensitivity. As a result, the entire film has been changed beyond recognition and turned into a bad movie before it is submitted for review."

Yang Huan understood everything now.

It turns out that this is how some big bad movies come about. No wonder many commercial movies that look big and produced are so bad.

After all, how many people who invest in movies understand movies?

It is up to the investors to decide to delete, and the result can be imagined!

Looking at it from another perspective, when Yang Huan invested in Deng Huatao's 33 Days of Broken Relationship, he also gave him some conditions, such as placing advertisements, placing Lin Yuner and Uncle Psy, etc.

This is already considered enlightened. If you encounter some investors who have a strong desire for control and don’t know how to pretend to understand, then it’s over?
After all, there are censorship systems all over the world, but the domestic film market is not standardized, which has caused all kinds of problems.

And it would be inappropriate to blame investors for the problems.

Because investors must make money!
"I understand!"

Yang Huan couldn't stop nodding. Fatty Wang's words made him see through a layer of fog.

"Old Chen, don't worry. As for you, just focus on making a good movie. Write a good script and zoom in on your vision. We want to make a story about all mankind. As for the box office pressure, don't worry about it. There are not many problems with censorship. The big deal is that I will come forward at that time."

"In short, this movie, if you want to make it, then do it!"

Not only Chen Kexin was stunned by Yang Huan's words, but Wang Jing was also stunned.

That's a few hundred million. Although it's RMB, can you just toss around like this?
Could it be that this young master Huan doesn't care about money at all?

If he knew that Master Huan made [-] million a day, he would understand why he didn't feel bad.

Now that everything has been said, Chen Kexin has nothing to hide.

"Then I think, go to the United States and hire an assistant director to help. He is best at shooting war themes in Hollywood."

"Okay, make up your mind!" Yang Huan nodded without hesitation.

He didn't even ask about money.

Because Yang Huan has always believed that there are specialties in the art industry, and if he is not good at things, he will leave them to those who are good at them.

"By the way, are you familiar with Xu Ke?"

"Old Freak Xu?" Wang Jing immediately laughed.

Chen Kexin couldn't help but smile, they are all Hong Kong filmmakers, how could they be unfamiliar?
"Could it be that you plan to invite Old Monster Xu to take pictures of Ghost Blowing Lantern?"

Yang Huan couldn't help but sigh, Wang Jing is really smart, he can see through.

Indeed, he did intend to invite Old Freak Xu to take pictures of Ghost Blowing Lantern.

"The oriental fantasy theme of ghost blowing lanterns is indeed very good, and it is also the most promising route to internationalization, because there are not too many value obstacles, and at the same time it can promote traditional Chinese culture, which has great potential!"

Yang Huan felt the same way.

"I think, among the many Chinese directors, Mr. Xu is the one who can discharge that smell the most!"

Wang Jing also agrees with Yang Huan's point of view.

"A ghost, a monster, it's strange if they don't match!"

When Yang Huan heard it, he felt that it rhymed quite well, so he couldn't help laughing.

"I saw old monster Xu over there just now, I'll call him and call him over." Chen Kexin laughed.

Wang Jing also nodded and said, "I met Old Freak Xu before, and I told him about this, and he was also very interested, but recently he is preparing for another movie, which seems to be filming Tiger Mountain."

"Really?" Yang Huan was taken aback for a moment, and then he was full of surprise.

This is a movie that he was looking forward to before time travel in [-]. Unexpectedly, Mr. Xu started planning it now.

"That's fine, you find him and say, I'll invest in him to shoot Tiger Mountain by Outwit!"

This time Wang Jing wasn't so shocked, he was just a little dazed, and then looked at Chen Kexin, both of them agreed.

Another film cast!
Rich people are so cool, they vote as soon as they say it, without blinking an eye!

While Chen Kexin was calling Xu Ke, Yang Huan chatted with Wang Jing about the preparations for the Chinese Expeditionary Force.

Wang Jing also agreed, and would definitely provide advice and help for Chen Kexin on commercial elements.

Not to mention, Fatty Wang's stomach is full of movie plots, from domestic to foreign, almost every movie is familiar.

When it came to filming the Chinese Expeditionary Army, he immediately proposed several very wonderful plots, which Yang Huan was full of praise for.

He really deserves to be the best director in Hong Kong who is good at making commercial films!

Just when the two were chatting enthusiastically, someone passed by them and cursed angrily.

"Damn it, it doesn't matter who you vote for after a while, you absolutely can't vote for the bad movie 33 Days of Broken Love, you won't even vote for it!"

Yang Huan was stunned when he heard that.

Could it be that there is something dark about this movie awards ceremony?
