Reborn Vengeance Superstar

In the past ten years, the Hong Kong Film Investment Association has actually produced many appealing works. What's more, although the films participating in the exhibition cannot be regarded as one in a hundred, there are some one in fifty.Therefore, there are not many investors, producers, bankers, distributors, buyers and directors of film funds who come here to choose.

As soon as Ou Xun brought Mr. Lian into the exhibition hall, he was startled by the crowded crowd. Mr. Lian, who had been confined to the film studio all his life, couldn't help sighing, "I didn't expect that there were so many people." Ou Xun knew this It was just the old man's exclamation, and he didn't interrupt. Instead, he waited for Yang Wenbo and Charlie to arrive, and took the three of them to the front desk to pay the entrance fee.

The entire investment meeting can only be attended by people in the industry, and the entrance fee is 2200 yuan per person. Ou Xun swiped his card, and then brought the other three people into the venue.Even the old man flipped through the manual and couldn't help saying, "This time is also a bit short. The first two days were open from 09:30 am to 04 pm. On the last day, because of the closing dinner, it ended at 30:[-] pm , but watch closely."

Ou Xun flipped through the handbook. This year, there are 35 films that have just been shortlisted for the film project. Each film only lists some basic items, and the content is very brief, not to mention the script.Without his superpower that can see through at a glance, to be honest, it would take a lot of time to go through it carefully from beginning to end, not to mention carefully considering investment.

However, Ou Xun is actually not in a hurry. It is the first time for him to come to this kind of place, he always has to see how other people do it first, so he said to a few people, "I think let's take a look first, everyone separates in the morning, each Find the ones you are interested in, and wait to meet at lunchtime, and you will probably have a number."

The old man Lian came here mostly to open his eyes. Charlie came with Yang Wenbo, and Yang Wenbo focused on Ou Xun, so as soon as the words fell, the old man agreed first, and agreed to meet at the door at 12 o'clock After that, he disappeared with the crowd a few times.Charlie was originally a very winky person, and when he saw Yang Wenbo's paralyzed expression that wanted to bite him to death, he ran away, so there was only Yang Wenbo left next to Ou Xun.

At this moment, Yang Wenbo was wearing a custom-made suit and his leather shoes were polished brightly. He looked like a successful man, and with his face about to storm, he looked even more like a cool and domineering president. .This is Yang Wenbo's usual appearance in front of outsiders. According to Charlie's years of training, for Yang Wenbo, who has no power, power or support, this is the only way to show some weight and deter some people.

The fact that he showed this look was because he really didn't know how to face Ou Xun after he let go of the words yesterday.It's just that this kind of expression doesn't matter at all in front of Ou Xun. In Ou Xun's mind, Yang Wenbo stood up for him yesterday. What's the matter, he should bow his head today.So, without even asking, Ou Xun tugged at Yang Wenbo's sleeve and said, "There are so many people here, I'm afraid I can't see them alone. If you don't suffer, please help me."

Yang Wenbo looked at Ou Xun with a cold face, and finally nodded with an expression of "reluctantly giving you face".Ou Xun didn't take it seriously, and excitedly let go of his arms and walked forward.Yang Wenbo stared at the cuffs he had been caught, and muttered in a low voice, "Crossing the river and tearing down the bridge", and then put away the smile that Ou Xun couldn't stop begging for help, and followed Ou Xun forward.

The entire exhibition hall is full of movie posters, and many people have begun to frequently enter and leave the room to meet and chat with the directors.Because most of the doors in the rooms were closed, Ou Xun and the others had no chance to inquire. The two looked at the overcrowding of the top ten rooms and sighed. This really misjudged the enthusiasm of the investment fair. If you look at it, I'm afraid it's very rare to watch them all in line.

Yang Wenbo frowned at the sight, he looked at the few empty rooms in the back, and suggested, "Why don't you go to the back and have a look."

This investment meeting is actually very suitable for Ou Xun. He has the ability to foresight, and has Yang Wenbo’s capital bank. He has all the conditions to be a producer, such as the 35 film projects exhibited here at the investment meeting. Not only do some directors have scripts, but some even have already found producers and actors, and the only thing left is funding for the filming, which is the most suitable for him.

But, who expected so many people to stare at it?

The two walked back resentfully, probably because they felt that the films in the back row did not have much potential. There were not many people here, and almost all the doors of the rooms were open. Ou Xun and Yang Wenbo looked at each other, starting from No. 20 look.

Sitting in the NO.20 room is a Hong Kong director. He has just debuted for a few years, and he is only 25 or six years old. It should be the first time to participate. As soon as Ou Xun and the others came in, this person jumped up from the chair immediately nervously. , and said a few words in Cantonese to them.

Neither Ou Xun nor Yang Wenbo understands Cantonese. Ou Xun said directly, "Can you speak Mandarin? Or English?" The director only realized that the two were from mainland China. Almost instantly, his face The smile couldn't be concealed, and he immediately said in broken Mandarin, "You can say it, you can say it."

The movie he took out was a ghost story called "Night", which told about what a girl saw and heard at night.Ou Xun basically listened to him talk about the plot, but in fact the whole movie concept is good, otherwise he would not be selected for the investment meeting.There are only two points that this script does not have strong inherent advantages. One is that all ghost films in mainland China are strictly censored, and the other is that Chinese directors are not good at shooting thrillers.

While listening to his narration, Ou Xun picked up the script in his hand very naturally, and suddenly saw a change in front of his eyes, and several huge black numbers appeared in front of him, 1209 million.This should be the final box office of the film, Ou Xun thought about it and asked him, "How much investment do you need?"

The young director thought about it for a while and came up with the number, "800 million." For Ou Xun, this is almost no profit, except for the cost of filming, marketing and publicity costs are all money.If they enter theaters, they will also participate in the share. If a movie wants to make a profit, it is a line for the income to reach 2.5 times the investment.

Ou Xun shook his head at Yang Wenbo and stood up, but the director suddenly stopped talking, thanked him, then sat down without saying anything.Out of the room door, Ou Xun was actually not in a particularly good mood. After all, facing everyone with dreams, it would be too cruel to stand up and turn around to break their dreams.

Yang Wenbo also looked at him worriedly. He was used to business, he was really afraid that Ou Xun would say, let's invest.Fortunately, Ou Xun is clear in his heart, business is all about making money, and the redundant so-called dreams and sorrows are just a momentary emotion.

Fortunately, Ou Xun came and went quickly. After two people visited seven or eight houses in a row, they finally came to room No. 29. This director was different from others. He not only opened the door, but also moved out the chair and sat at the door. , looked outside carelessly, and when he saw two people, he said familiarly, "I was thinking that it should be me, why, I saw so many people and didn't like it?"

This person speaks Beijing movies and speaks casually, but Ou Xun doesn't feel uncomfortable.He smiled and said, "Why, you're blocking the way and you're not welcome to come in?" The man smiled embarrassedly when he heard this, and quickly got up and moved the chair into the room.But the mouth didn't stop, "I'm afraid you were lifted up by the respectful spirit of the previous directors. When you come to me, you feel a little bit equal."

Ou Xun was tired after walking all morning, so he sat down on the stool and asked, "Then why are they so respectful, don't you? You don't lack investment?"

This person did not know where to get a kettle, turned around to make a pot of tea, and then handed Ou Xun and Yang Wenbo each a business card, and said indifferently, "It goes without saying, mainlanders are rich and generous. , of course they have a different attitude.”

It was only then that Ou Xun remembered why the group of people smiled so much when they spoke. It turned out to be because of this.He looked at the business card in his hand, the name was quite simple, Chen Er, and the word director was written on the back.At the bottom is a string of mobile phone numbers, a string of QQ numbers, and fortunately, there is also a QR code, which may be the account number on WeChat.Ou Xun found it interesting, and followed his words, "Unfortunately, there is no suitable one."

Chen Er was afraid that he was just waiting for this sentence, so he said directly, "Isn't this fulfilling me!" He reached out and grabbed the table behind him, took out the top script, and stuffed it into the Ou Xun, and then began to talk about his script.At this moment, Ou Xun couldn't hear him speak, and saw three numbers, 452 million, appearing in front of his eyes.What kind of movie, the income can be so poor?

Ou Xun looked down, and there were three characters written on it, "Joyful Meeting", a hilarious comedy movie, the content is similar to the strongest happy event of the year, but the method is probably more nonsensical.Honestly, not much.Ou Xun conveniently put down the script, ready to find the next one.Unexpectedly, this person suddenly said, "I don't agree with you, do I still have more? I think you are very kind-hearted. We are destined to see each other at once. You can take another look."

Ou Xun thought it was funny, and asked him, "A director can only show one work, are you still preparing a backup?" Chen Er didn't care, and rummaged through a stack of scripts on the table and took out three. Ben handed it to Ou Xun and said, "I'm not doing this alone. When Ning Hao came to participate in the exhibition, he was not selected for "Crazy Stone". What about a script?"

As he said that, he handed the script to Ou Xun. Almost instantly, Ou Xun saw a mess in front of his eyes. The box office of the three movies appeared immediately. Two of them probably had never been shot, and it showed zero, while the one in the middle "Love Letter", with a particularly simple name, had a box office of 3200 million at first.This is not a big amount, but compared to the few companies that Ou Xun asked just now, it is not bad.He didn't single out them, but asked directly, "What's the budget?"

The numbers Chen Er reported were not high, one after another was 600 million, and the one in the middle was only 300 million.Ou Xun knew in his heart that this was an absolutely profitable business, but now it was only the first day of the investment meeting, and Yang Wenbo had a lot of money in the hands of local tyrants, and he would eventually use it wisely. The ability to foresee, the dizzy head from excessive physical exertion, said, "Okay."

Fortunately, Chen Er was in a good mood. Seeing that Ou Xun had no investment intentions, he didn't say anything, and sent the two of them out.This made Ou Xun quite fond of him.Yang Wenbo only thought that Ou Xun was tired, and it was almost 12 o'clock, so he refused to let him continue without saying anything, and directly helped him to the gate.

Unexpectedly, before reaching the main entrance, I saw Zhang Zhi coming from the script side with Xuan Yun, and the two people just met each other. Zhang Zhi's eyes were full of anger, but Xuan Yun came over to Ou Xun for some reason. He called out in surprise, "Xiao Xun?"
