Chapter 229 Nine Investors

It was completely dark.

When Jiang Liu and his party went down the mountain and returned to the car, the venue for the "The Promise" crew was already deserted.

"Boss, this side of Bugu Tianchi is not suitable for filming."

Jiang Liu nodded in approval.

The mountains near Bigu Tianchi looked okay from a distance, but when I got closer, I found that they were not dense enough and were not suitable for the habitat of orangutans.

The key road conditions are also not very good. It is troublesome for hundreds of people to get in and out, and it is easy to damage the ecological environment.

Of course he could shamelessly imitate the crew of "The Promise" and simply apologize and pay tens of thousands of yuan to settle the matter after public opinion about ecological destruction broke out.

But it's not necessary. There are many places where you can take pictures, so it's not worth just getting a bad reputation.

Following them all the way up the mountain, Team Leader Qiu, who knew the needs of Jiangliu, said: "Mr. Jiang, there are also tropical rainforests in Yun Province. Let's go to Pu'er. Pu'er's forest coverage is the second largest tropical rainforest in the world after the Amazon River."

"Team Leader Qiu, I was originally planning to go to Pu'er, but I had to come to Bigu Tianchi because of President Han's strong invitation."

With a plan in his mind, Jiang Liu endured the pain of bumps, and team leader Qiu explored the tropical rainforest in Pu'er. They didn't return to the city until the moon rose above the branches.

Early the next morning.

Jiang Liu was awakened by the doorbell.

"You don't like "The Promise"?" Mr. Han asked immediately after entering the room.

"It's annoying. I don't need to read the script. Just hearing you talk about the fantasy epic theme makes me feel uncomfortable. Movies with grand narrative themes must first have a certain audience base. The reason why "The Lord of the Rings" has such a high global box office is because the novel has been best-selling in the West for many years."

"Even if Chen Kaige is filming "Three Kingdoms", I think it is more reliable than "The Promise"."

Seeing Mr. Han's face sinking, Jiang Liu said with relief, "But Chen Kaige is well-known in China, and the audience may buy it."

"In the past two years, the overseas distribution royalties for domestic costume-themed films have been acceptable, and China Film may not necessarily lose money."

"Including the investment budget of 3.5 million yuan for publicity expenses, it would take at least million yuan to recover the cost. I was confused at the time, why would I invest so much money."

Jiang Liu was silent.

Either he was deceived by the big production and the star lineup from the three places across the Taiwan Strait, or he thought that Chen Kaige was no worse than Jiang Liu and could easily copy a "Monster".

Jiang Liu didn't want to talk more about "The Promise".

He originally had a small thought in mind during this trip, chatting with Chen Kaige and entrusting Yi Xin to do the special effects in "The Promise".

After the mutual ridicule, there is no room for negotiation in this business.

Jiang Liu was slightly disappointed.

The most famous special effect in "The Promise" is a steamed bun.

This steamed bun later spawned a widely circulated video - "A Murder Case Caused by a Steamed Bun".

The special effects for the steamed buns were made overseas, and I guess the special effects fees were indispensable. It was a pity that a large amount of money was just missed.

Mr. Han frowned and smoked a cigarette in the room. The whole room was filled with smoke, like a fairyland. He stood up and said:

"I'm not worried. I'll go and have a look at the set of "The Promise". You don't have to go. I originally wanted you to take a look at the shot and check for any omissions, but I couldn't go due to the commotion yesterday."

"If you really want me to go, I can go there again shamelessly." Jiang Liu said politely.

"I accept this sentiment, but you are not a young director now. It is inappropriate for you to be wronged again. You are busy with your own business. Your project is more important than "The Promise"."

Jiang Liu nodded expressionlessly.

He only went to Poet Chen to join in the fun when his balls hurt after eating.

Mr. Han has a special status. Yesterday, when there was an unofficial person, he was not acting strangely, but directly went crazy.

The two parted ways, and Jiang Liu led the team to Pu'er.

With the help of local officials, we made a difficult journey to Pu'er Jingmai Mountain and Jingmai Village. Jingmai Mountain was finally determined as one of the filming locations for the new project.

And this filming location is more important, because "Orangutan" may be developed into a series of three films, and later two films, and Jingmai Mountain will become the main filming location for the Jiangliu crew.

After hearing the news, cities and counties in Yunnan Province immediately announced that they would repair the original road section leading to Jingmai Village to facilitate the crew's future access.

After leaving Yun Province, Jiang Liu flew directly to the Magic City, where Jiangyin Bridge was also one of the filming locations.

This bridge is the only bridge that connects southern Jiangsu and northern Jiangsu. The filming is also extremely troublesome. It requires him to personally promise, explain many things, and go through many procedures.

After running around until the eve of the National Day, Jiang Liu and his team returned to the capital to make final arrangements for the start-up.

"The total production budget is 1 million, and the list of several investors is here."

Jiang Liu took the document handed over by Xing Aina.

Investors in the project codenamed "Ape":

Yixin Film and Television 3000 million yuan

China Film Group 2000 million yuan

81 Film Studio 2000 million yuan

Magic City United Cinemas 2000 million yuan

Shanghai Film Group 1000 million yuan

CJ Entertainment 1000 million yuan

Emperor Entertainment 1000 million yuan

Shandong Province Film and Television Drama Production Center 500 million yuan

Hengdian Film and Television Group 500 million yuan

"It's weird. The Lu Province Film and Television Drama Production Center can understand that Lu Province promised to build a studio. How did Hengdian come in?" Jiang Liu asked curiously.

"Hengdian is very prosperous now. Many film crews have moved from Huairou to Hengdian. The same is true for Yixin. Mr. Hou is planning to buy land to build a branch in Hengdian. After the canteen and dormitories are built, he can save a lot of money."

Since we have business dealings, Jiang Liu nodded and said, "Then take Hengdian with you."

His film has no shortage of investors, and the investors Xing Aina chooses must first be beneficial to the film. Since the nine investors can more or less help the development of One Heart, agreeing is the intended meaning of the question.

After signing, Xing Aina handed over a script.

"I think Ning Hao's book is good. My boss can help me take a look. If it's good, I want him to take pictures."

"You are a member of the investment committee, so you can make the decision."

Xing Aina said: "I just didn't pass."

Jiang Liu suddenly raised his head and looked at Xing Aina attentively: "What's the reason for not passing?"

"The story line is too confusing."

"During the discussion among the six of you, did anyone have any selfish thoughts?"

"That's not the case. It's a normal discussion and the legitimate reasons are stated. The story line is too confusing."

"Wait until I finish reading the script. Come over in the afternoon."

"it is good."

After Xing Aina left, Jiang Liu opened Ning Hao's original script, which was indeed "Crazy Stone".

The handwriting of the script was a bit messy, but the overall story was almost the same as the original film. Jiang Liu quickly read through it and commented with a pen:

There is no problem with the script, and Ning Hao can be provided with filming funds.

The perspective of investment committee members should not be limited to domestic films and television dramas, but pay more attention to foreign films and television dramas. It is recommended to watch movies during the National Day, such as "Two Smoking Barrels" by British director Guy Ritchie.

"Boss, I bought the movie rights to "Ghost in the Shell"."

"how much is it?"

"410 million U.S. dollars." He Jing laid a pile of documents on Jiang Liu's desk.

"The price is okay, but the technology is not enough. Let's save it for later shooting." Jiang Liu signed the payment.

"When you were in Yun Province, David Asel went to the Water Films branch to discuss purchasing the film rights to "Iron Man."

Jiang Liu said without hesitation: "I won't sell it."

"Iron Man" will either become Yixin's future rescue work, or it will completely die in Yixin's copyright library.
