The leisurely life of rebirth

Chapter 46 There is a surprise in the end
When fishing and making nests, small fish and shrimps come first.

Slowly it will attract big fish.

Old people in the industry either have their own channels or their own ways of making money. Anyway, those who can survive have their own unique logic.

But when there are more investors, no one will say no.

Zhao Yun called directly, "There is a small investment movie that you may be interested in. It was made by director Teng Huatao. It probably tells a story about a lovelorn man and woman."

Director Teng has only a few famous films. I don’t know if the one he is going to make this time is the one he had in mind. This one is fine. A small production can make a big difference.

The only pity is that this starring role was almost eliminated by the group later.

But it doesn’t affect how much money you can make now.

It is said that this small-production movie only invested more than 1000 million yuan at the beginning, but the box office was more than 3 million yuan, which was considered a big hit at the time.

Excluding box office promotion channels, the profit is almost 10 times higher.

"Okay, where can we meet? No, I'm going to Shanghai. I've been very busy lately and want to go out and relax." Zhou You held his cell phone between his face and held his pants in both hands.

"Okay, Director Teng happened to be here recently." Zhao Yun was working opposite Teng Huatao.

"Director Teng, I made the call in front of you. Mr. Zhou also agreed to meet you. I think he will come over tomorrow." As a cameraman, Zhao Yun used to hang out with directors, but he didn't expect that he could now work on projects for them. .

Mainly because of his dear brother Zhou, who is so generous.

I have invested in both documentaries and literary films, but I don’t know if I am interested in commercial films anymore. The stakes are higher and the losses are greater.

"Thank you, this is a small-scale film, and it is also a test of my transformation. I have been filming TV series before, let's see how the movie goes now." Director Teng has a chubby face, a bit like baby fat.
"You're too polite. Who doesn't know you? The movie "Small House" is famous all over the world. Everyone is fed up with the pain of buying a house." Zhao Yun said sincerely

Logically speaking, it is impossible for him because he lacks investment, but as a director, he also wants to share more risks.

After all, the more channels he chooses, the greater his right to speak, and he will not be tied to death by a capital company.

After traveling around here, I happily flew there directly. It’s nice to have a little freshness in life.

This time, I plan to stay in Shanghai for a few more days to see what delicious food and fun there is.

After getting off the plane, I took the subway directly to the hotel where I was staying. I didn’t want to take a taxi. I had to queue up for a taxi and there was a traffic jam. It was better to take the subway and see the current situation of the workers.

As for expecting Zhao Yun to pick him up at the airport, don't even think about it, he is also a hard worker.

Now I think about not hanging around for a few more years and doing well, at least there will be someone to pick me up wherever I go, but this thought flashed through my mind.

The car rental industry is about to undergo major reforms, and airport pick-up and drop-off will be more convenient, so why bother?

It's very convenient to get off the plane and take the subway. There are very few people taking the subway here, and it's much faster than taking a taxi.

Follow the signs around and carry a bag when traveling, like a young person who is traveling and is curious about everything.

Following the flow of people into the subway station, when I saw the bustling people, I would meet a few women who caught my eye from time to time. This ratio was indeed much higher than in Luzhou.No need to transfer to the subway, go all the way to the hotel and check in smoothly.

Call Zhao Yun, "I'm here. I'm at Caesars Hotel. Come over."

After a while, Zhao Yun and Teng Huatao came over.

Teng Huatao was a little surprised to see Zhou You so young. He was from a good background. His father was a director and he had been exposed to many people since he was a child.

But people with a temperament like Zhou You's are indeed rare. Other young people at this age are either arrogant or pretend to be low-key. Unlike Zhou You's temperament, which is natural, comfortable and leisurely, giving people a very comfortable feeling.

"Hello, Mr. Zhou, I am Teng Huatao. I met Zhao Yun a few days ago and chatted for a few words. When I mentioned Mr. Zhou, I became fascinated. I want to see what kind of style he has." Teng Huatao stretched out his hand.

Zhou You also quickly took two steps and extended his hand to shake hands with Teng Huatao, "Director Teng's works are all classics. How many young people have been attracted by "Dwelling"?

Anyway, it’s all business talk, and everyone is carrying the sedan chair. As for whether you believe it or not, whoever believes it is stupid!
They are all here for profit.

No matter how high you are praised in the early stage, you will be severely damaged in the later stage.

A movie like "Shanghai Fortress" destroyed the reputation accumulated over the years and investors lost all their money.

Therefore, the risks in the film industry are very high. Many coal bosses have been deceived and their bottoms have been lost.

There are also some bosses in the southeast who got rich and wanted to make a few movies and invest in new industries, but in the end they were defrauded of their money.

It’s a matter of experience, not rawness. Just because you’re good in this industry doesn’t mean you understand another industry.

Many industry experts speak very clearly and give pointers casually. I wonder, how many jokes have they made?
A person who works in the manufacturing industry must give advice to someone who flies an airplane.

In all big hotels, the food and beverages are similar, neither too bad nor too good.

Zhou You booked a small box, and the three of them sat in it and talked about things. Zhao Yun made jokes in the middle, so it wouldn't be embarrassing.

Teng Huatao briefly introduced the script

"This drama mainly talks about lovelorn men and women. Huang Xiaoxian, a high-end wedding planner, never dreamed that her boyfriend of seven years would actually get together with her best friend, which she, who has always been mean and strong, couldn't bear no matter what. But she couldn't bear it. The earth will not stop because of someone's broken love. While facing emotional frustration, Huang Xiaoxian also had to face work pressure. However, during the period without love, Huang Xiaoxian discovered many things that were fundamental in the past. Things that you won’t pay attention to, such as the sissy colleague Wang Xiaojian who is always opposite to you, are not that annoying, such as what is the principle of the union of Diamond Wang Laowu and a Henan native Hong Kong and Taiwanese woman, and how The secret to a golden wedding”

You also know that I am good at making urban dramas. This is my transition to filmmaking. I am also more cautious and chose a small-investment film. Urban films have no special effects, no fighting, and no car chases, so the cost is relatively low. .

The actors are all actors who have often collaborated with each other in the past, and their acting skills are quite good. There are also many veteran actors, including Hui Hui and Zhang Jiayi.

The overall lineup is still very strong.

The plan is to release it before Double 11 this year and before Singles’ Day. Can it be released at that time and still gain some popularity?
The overall shooting cycle is not long, and the schedules of the various leading actors have also been adjusted.It turns out that there are many people investing, but the investment requirement is to star in it. Since this is my first movie, I am very cautious. After hearing your investment philosophy, I also very much agree with it.

Zhou You sat there and listened to his introduction. Can you disagree?

Where can I find such investors if I only give money and don’t care about anything? If I didn’t have the confidence in my heart, I wouldn’t dare to invest like this.
