my time as a director

Other directors can only talk about giant productions and epics, and no one dares to call their own movies great.

However, in the face of reporters' doubts, Wu Jing did not hesitate at all.

Wolf Warrior 2 is a great movie, just a few words and it has become a hot search.

The first film had a polarized reputation, and those who scolded it were ugly. This sequel, which claims to be a great movie, of course also attracted a lot of abuse, no matter how ugly it is.

However, neither Li Qian nor Wu Jing paid much attention to it. The movie probably took a year to make, and it's still too early. When the movie is released, we will know for ourselves.

Moreover, there are quite a few netizens who support Wu Jing. Among today's action actors, Cheng Long and Li Lianjie are old, and their works are not as good as one.

Donnie Yen has also acted in a bunch of bad movies, and Journey to the West: Havoc in Heaven has even lost the popularity of passers-by. Except for the Ip Man series, no passers-by will believe it.

Moreover, the next part of the Journey to the West series has changed candidates for Sun Wukong, the Three Dozens of Bone Demons, which shows that the film crew is afraid.

Looking around, there are no domestic action actors left.

The type of action actor is actually very easy to win favors. After all, the image of a tough guy is good, and the audience likes it.

It won't cause any negative impact, so don't worry about it.

.....

After returning from Huairou, Li Qian also devoted himself to his work, dilly-dallying and continuing to work on his script.

However, his script hadn't been finished yet. Teng Huatao had already arrived with the script outline and settings. He was going to find an artist and special effects company to start the preliminary conceptual design. The film was ready to be approved and the money should arrive.

"Director Li, I roughly calculated it, and I also asked the special effects company in Hollywood. The scenes of our movie are basically in the same place in Shanghai, but the cost is not big. I think the initial investment of [-] million should be enough. gone."

The carefully prepared big production is finally about to take its first step, and Teng Huatao is excited just thinking about it.

First find a first-class art and special effects company to do the concept design, after half a year, the scene will be scouted and set up, the special effects company will model, after another half a year, the actors will be in place, and then the film will be started.

It took half a year to shoot, and one year to add special effects in post-production. Three years later, the movie was released and the box office was a hit!

One billion is simple, and with the growth rate of the domestic market, maybe one billion box office can be seen everywhere in three years, and it will be 20 billion!

Teng Huatao is already imagining that three years later, he will welcome the applause and honor, just like many people see a beautiful woman who is so excited, they even think about the child's name.

"[-] million, it's not a lot if it's good." Li Qian nodded. This cost is not too much for a sci-fi blockbuster.

Then he said embarrassingly, "Director Teng, the company is currently preparing to go public, and has already spent [-] to [-] million on several projects, and the cost cannot be recovered in a short time, so in order to ensure that this year's profits meet the IPO requirements, we may take Not so much money."

"..." Teng Huatao was stunned. Will the film industry have no money in the future?

Just raised 15 billion, even if it still needs to be spent on theater chains and ticket-buying apps, how can there be a shortage of money after one after another movie box office hits?

Teng Huatao made an account for Li Qian in his heart. Wandering Earth and Wolf Warrior cost five to six billion in total, and Li Qian did not pay for all of them. The other projects were not so big.

Last month, it was rumored that Li Qian had invested in an animation film crew that had run out of money. Although the exact amount was unknown, it was at most a hundred million.

With all the calculations, half of the 15 billion financing will be spent, and the other half?

The cinema and the ticketing platform cost so much?

Just when Teng Huatao was thinking hard and couldn't figure out how the future film industry, which had the best performance, would run out of money. Maybe Li Qian swallowed it.

Li Qian immediately smiled and said, "However, I have already found an investment for you. Mr. Penguin Chen is very interested in your project and is willing to invest [-] million yuan. I will call him later and ask him to contact you." you."

"That troubles Director Li."

Although he had the investment, Director Li personally helped him bring it in, but Teng Huatao always felt that something was wrong.

After exchanging pleasantries for a while, Teng Huatao left Future Pictures and walked out of the office building.

April in Beijing is still a bit cold, when the cold wind blows, Teng Huatao can't help shivering.

After calming down, Teng Huatao suddenly stood still, as if he had realized something.

He bowed his head and stood there, clenched his fists, his face was very ugly.

No matter how stupid he was, he would realize that Li Qian didn't want to invest in his film at all.

Anything without money is an excuse!

Chapter 491 Take Back That Damn Respect!

"Who does this Li Qian look down on!"

In a certain clubhouse, Huang Zhonglei cursed out of righteous indignation, while Teng Huatao was drinking silently next to him.

"Because of one failure, "Waiting for the Wind" didn't lose money, it just made less money, Li Qian was too much, obviously he didn't take you seriously.

I don't have any money yet. I dare say that Future Pictures has at least 20 billion in cash lying in its account. It's too late to even make a plausible excuse. This is too insulting. This is treating you like a fool! "

After Future Pictures left, Teng Huatao also realized that Li Qian was just perfunctory himself, and never planned to invest in him from the beginning to the end.

Li Qian's investment was gone, and as for the [-] million he said about Penguin, Teng Huatao didn't know if it was a prevarication, so don't be fooled by Penguin's people.

So I found Huang Zhongjun directly. After all, Huang Zhonglei had vowed before that Huayang would fully support him in the filming of "Magic City Fortress".

The last time I went to Future Films as soon as I had an idea, but this time I needed investment but I came to them first. Under the cliché of the Huang family brothers, Teng Huatao also said something selectively.

Teng Huatao could see what the Huang family brothers and two old foxes couldn't understand. I'm afraid Li Qian had been just perfunctory him before.

So, Huang Zhonglei started to curse, scolding Li Qian for looking down on others, but Teng Huatao only felt the burning pain on his face.

It turned out that it was his own wishful thinking all along, Li Qian didn't like him at all, but fortunately he was still catching up.

However, Huang Zhonglei was also helping himself out, and Teng Huatao could only drink there.

Seeing that it was almost done, Huang Zhongjun also interrupted his younger brother's scolding, "Okay Zhonglei, Hua Tao, don't be too angry, Li Qian and you are not the same as us, think about which time they called you at a party , not all the way, and there is no need to get together."

When Huang Zhongjun said this, Teng Huatao remembered? It seems that he has never stepped into the small group of directors Li Qian and he supported? At least he has not even attended a party.

Years later, they made an appointment to have a meal together, but they didn't call themselves.

This thought? Teng Huatao felt even more uncomfortable.

"Hua Tao, don't worry? It's Li Qian's lack of vision. The story of "Magic City Fortress" can be filmed? I have paid all the investment. How much do you want? Just tell me how much you want? We can also shoot science fiction films!" Huang Zhongjun immediately gave Teng Huatao made a big deal? He didn't underestimate him because of the failure of the last movie.

No one can fail. Compared with a lot of directors who have never succeeded at all, Teng Huatao, the director who created the box office miracle of "33 Days of Broken Relationship", Huang Zhongjun is more willing to believe in him.

Even if Li Qian made it clear that he was not optimistic? Didn't want to invest? It just made Huang Zhongjun a little bit suspicious, and it didn't dispel his respect for Teng Huatao.

The entire industry has analyzed the reasons for the last failure, and if Li Qian can see it, many people in the industry can also see it.

Can't make films by yourself? But it doesn't hinder the analysis of professionals.
