Chapter 226 The script passes review

August 8nd is Chinese Valentine’s Day.

This day is also Jiang Liu's birthday on the solar calendar, and it is a Sunday holiday.

It is extremely rare for a personal birthday to coincide with a traditional festival and a holiday, so Li Qin and Li Xin carefully prepared a birthday party for Jiang Liu.

Unexpectedly, Jiang Liu had to leave his family behind and go to the bureau early that morning.

"Where."

Yu Chu nodded with a smile and introduced the middle-aged man next to him: "Ming Hong, the director of 81 Film Studio."

"Director Ming, hello." Jiang Liu smiled and extended his hand.

A bright red middle-aged man, dressed in casual clothes, looking ordinary.

However, the transcendent status of 81 Film Studio as the only military film studio in China is on the table, and no one dares to underestimate this person.

Unfortunately, the market is ruthless. The major state-owned film studios that have been established for decades will inevitably be eliminated by the times and the market in the future, thus restructuring and

Only the impressive "Armageddon", "Tunnel War", "Mine War", "Land Sea and Snow" and many other classic films are worth writing about and watching again and again.

Ming Hong shook hands with Jiang Liu warmly: "Mr. Jiang is young and promising. I have read several of your works, and each one is more exciting than the last."

"Thank you!"

"I won't wait for you, Mr. Han. You're welcome to sit down. Today is a non-working day. Let's chat casually." Yu Chu said.

Jiang Liu knew what he was doing and sat down obediently.

Yu Chu's secret intention is very clear, which is to ventilate the atmosphere. The three of them represent Yixin, 81 Film Studio, and the General Administration respectively. As long as the three of them have a good chat and there are no disagreements during the period, the script of "Orangutan" submitted by Jiang Liu will be approved. Reviewed.

"Let me talk about the changes on my side first."

"The research institutions in the script cannot be state-owned and must be changed to private research institutions."

Jiang Liu immediately said: "There is no problem with this. Just change it a little. It can even be changed to a foreign research institution."

Seeing that the changes proposed by the bureau were so simple to solve, without even mentioning animal welfare, Jiang Liu looked at Director Ming expectantly.

"We have studied the script and still believe that no one should die. If Mr. Jiang has difficulties in film production, in order to support domestic films, we can coordinate with the crew to bring in armed helicopters to participate in the filming. It is not safe if there are casualties."

"I suggest filming a foreign story in domestic locations. In this case, Mr. Jiang will ask for money and the full support of Factory 81."

"Director Ming, is it okay to be injured but not dead? In addition, the story of the script can also take place on other planets outside the Blue Star, or the story line can take place in the future, what do you think?"

Jiang Liu knew that it was difficult to change the other person's perspective.

Especially the fact that the Heavenly Soldiers were turned upside down by the orangutans was even more incomprehensible, so I took a step back and came up with three solutions.

Minghong was shocked by Jiang Liu's imagination, and Furujing Muha said, "We have to study it further."

Jiang Liu nodded to express his understanding. The theme and story content of "Orangutan" are special.

Even if there is a slight change, the relevant departments must be very cautious, and it is impossible for just one person to make a decision easily.

However, the next moment, Director Ming changed the subject: "Maybe."

"Maybe?"

Jiang Liu Lenovo opened it, wondering if 81 Film Studio had considered this issue before, and maybe it already had the answer.

"Then I'm waiting for good news from Director Ming. If "Orangutan" can be shot in China, Factory 81 will inevitably be troubled in terms of funding and filming."

Minghong asked curiously: "How much production funds are planned to be invested in the project?"

"Although I haven't calculated it carefully, it is at least 100 million to 200 million yuan."

"Mr. Jiang is waiting for news from me." Ming Hong's expression changed, and she stood up and said, "Lao Yu, Mr. Jiang, there is something else to do in the factory, I'll leave first."

"We can't talk until Sanping comes."

"No wait, his China Film Studio is much busier than Factory 81. I don't know when it will arrive."

Jiang Liu and the others returned to their original positions after sending Ming Hong away. Yu Chu said with a smile at the right time: "We are on the same page. Factory 81 will not stop us, and the bureau will not make things difficult for us. You can rest assured to prepare the crew."

"It has already entered the preparation period. No matter how you stop it, I will at most increase the cost to shoot the international version." Jiang Liu said disapprovingly.

If the bureau and Factory 81 support it, he will shoot it.

If he doesn’t support it, he will still shoot. It’s true that the cost will increase and it will be more troublesome.

But this movie is related to Yixin's development strategy and will not end because of troubles.

Of course, there will be twists and turns in doing anything, so he should try to pave the way first. "The domestic film market will be even better next year. More than 5000 pirated films will be punished for producing and selling them."

"The big-budget movies that have been registered with the bureau include "The Myth", "Seven Swordsmen", "The Great Sage", "Initial D", "A Thousand Miles Alone" and "The Promise"."

Yu Chuzheng explained to Jiang Liu how the country strongly supports the development of domestic films.

And the Chinese film market will be booming next year. Han Sanping opened the door with sweat dripping: ""The Promise"? What happened to "The Promise"?"

"There's nothing wrong with "The Promise". Is it true that you're late?"

"There are too many things, have you finished talking? What did Factory 81 say?" Han Sanping walked towards the air vent of the air conditioner.

Jiang Liudao: "I have proposed two plans. They want to study it. Mr. Han, will China Film vote for "Apes" and "Pirates 2"?"

There are several directors in China who are not short of funds to make movies.

Zhang Yimou, Chen Kaige, Feng Dapao, Hong Kong has Stephen Chow.

Jiang Liu's two films have grossed tens of millions of dollars in box office worldwide, and his projects have no shortage of investors.

"Monster" has not yet been produced in China, and several private film and television company CEOs, as well as state-owned enterprises such as Shanghai Film and Television, have quietly explored the possibility of cooperating with Jiang Liu on a film.

Jiang Liu is willing to bring China Film with him not only because China Film is an industry leader and a state-owned enterprise.

It is also because China Film’s strong distribution capabilities make up for Yixin’s distribution shortcomings.

With the investment of China Film Group, it saves the time of wrangling between Yixin and the local government.

"Your movie is going to be cast. Who is the director of "Pirates 2"? Where is the script? The group is under great financial pressure and needs to be carefully studied before making a decision."

Jiang Liu glanced at Mr. Han suspiciously.

"Monster" made a lot of money, although it was still early for the film to be fully funded.

However, in the first phase, various funds such as box office sharing, advertising sponsorship fees, audio and video, TV copyright fees, and interstitial advertising fees are continuously flowing into the accounts of the four investors.

Jiang Liu conservatively estimated that China Film had at least more than 3000 million in spare cash recently.

In addition, in terms of domestic film support funds, China Film Group will also get the largest piece of the cake every year. Now that there is no money, it is very interesting.

Jiang Liu couldn't ask openly, "Where did the money go?", but asked with concern: "Mr. Han, is there any big move?"

"You didn't read the news? You invested 2 million in Chen Kaige's "The Promise"."

"2 million? What kind of movie is he going to make?" Jiang Liu pretended not to know.

"He said it was fantasy costume."

Mr. Han frowned as he said this, sat down next to Jiang Liu and said, "Have you got time recently? Come with me to Shangri-La, what the heck, the crew moved to Shangri-La for a few days, and the 1000 million was gone. I am more and more The more you think about it, the more wrong it becomes."

"If you don't tell me, I want to go to Yun Province to see the scenery, but 2 million investment in ancient costumes is too much."

"It's more than 2 million. The total production cost is 3.5 million. China Film Group alone invested 2 million."

Yu Chu frowned and said: "Listening to what you said, the subject matter is obviously overheated. The scripts I have filed here are all about ancient costumes."

"'Heroes' launched in North America in June and accumulated a global box office of 6 million US dollars. 'Pirates' also sold more than 20 million US dollars in more than countries. It can be expected that the latecomers will continue to follow each other."

"It's this "The Promise" that makes me feel a bit uneasy."

Mr. Han turned to Jiang Liu and said, "Liu'er, you are the best at making commercial films in China. It's decided that you will fly with me to Yunzhou the day after tomorrow."

Jiang Liu stood up and said, "Okay, I'll go back today. I'm waiting for my birthday boy to go back for dinner at home."

"Is it your birthday today?" Mr. Han and Yu Chu said in unison.

"Well, it's still the year of my birth year."

"My birth year is 24 years old. Compared with you, I am really old." Yu Chu said with a smile.

Mr. Han said: "My birthday in this year is Chinese Valentine's Day again. Today I won't delay you and Li Xin's two nights and two flights. Remember to come out tomorrow night and don't call anyone else. It's just me and you. The three of us will find a quiet place to hang out." cup."

"to make."

In the blink of an eye, on Monday, the three of us who had agreed to have a few drinks turned into four.

Ming Hong was also there, and he conveyed the good news to Jiang Liu that the adapted version of "Orangutan" had passed the review.
