Chapter 308 Investment

While Xiaolu was busy recruiting "allies" everywhere, Huang Yi brought Jiang Lai and Gan Jing to Tang Wen with an investment report.
Tang Wen hugged Jiang Lai with his left hand and Gan Jing with his right hand and said with a smile, "What's the matter? What investor alerted all three of you to me?"
Not long after returning to Modu, Tang Wen was visited by Huang Yi and others. Huang Yi handed over the documents and said, "It's Director Zhang who wants to make a movie about the Great Wall of China."
"I'm sorry, 150 million is still a US dollar?" Tang Wen cursed after looking at the budget.
Huang Yi asked: "Yes, Director Zhang is still very popular at the box office. In addition, this time he is shooting our Great Wall monuments, and this time he plans to hire a Hollywood actor as the leading actor. It is said that in order to achieve a realistic effect He also wants to repair the Great Wall."
"This is such a stupid thing. You really don't regard my money as money." Tang Wen said with a smile.
Huang Yi heard Tang Wen's words and asked suspiciously: "Is this book bad?"
Tang Wen scolded: "What a hammer, neither three nor four. Use Western actors for Chinese stories? Do you think Chinese audiences are fools? How dare you come to ask for investment even if you don't look like this?"
Huang Yi felt a little embarrassed when she heard this. She only valued Director Zhang's reputation and didn't know much about this book. After hearing what Tang Wen said, she realized that this book was probably a big trap.
"In the future, you can make your own decisions on investments within 200 million Huaxia coins, but don't invest in movies like this, which are unreliable, and those popular movies that use little fresh meat. I don't care about money, but I'm not stupid enough to throw it away. ." Tang Wen instructed.
"Yeah, okay, I know." After being scolded by Tang Wen, he didn't expect such an unexpected gain, which made Huang Yi very happy.
Tang Wen looked at the three women in front of him and smiled and said, now is the time for the game of chicken. The three women's faces turned red, and after a while, the sound of "Clicking, clicking, clicking" came from the room.
On the other hand, Director Zhang was very confident in his book. Hollywood's top movie star is the male pig's trotter, and there is also a female lead sent in by the sponsor's father. It is "difficult" not to make money in this book.
Just when he was about to call Huang Yi to confirm the investment, he heard Huang Yi on the other end of the phone seemed to be running, and replied out of breath: "I'm sorry, Director Zhang, I'm running, I may not be able to vote for your book."
"What?" Director Zhang opened his mouth in disbelief.
"Dudududu"
After hanging up the phone, Director Zhang's face turned pale. I thought that getting Huang Yi to invest this time was a sure thing, but I didn't expect that she refused.
"Humph, I thought I would be so unscrupulous just because I relied on the financial sponsor."
The lady next to me persuaded and said: "Forget it, didn't Lao Wang say that he can give you all the investment? Why do you need to be so angry?"
"Hey, that's all we can do."
After being rejected by Huang Yi, Director Zhang found Lao Wang and obtained an investment of US$135 million from him, and then began to poach people aggressively.
Guan was a movie king from Mainland China, so he invited four or five of them, as well as popular Hua Dan, as well as some "gold medal" supporting actors and some friendly guest stars.
This list alone is terrifying to death. Not to mention that this movie cost 1.35 US dollars, which is more than 800 million Chinese dollars.
For a time, the popularity of this movie reached its peak, and Director Zhang even announced that he would create China's first epic film production.
Tang Wen was very disdainful of this, because he knew very well the urinary nature of these so-called "big directors" in China. For a movie about Eastern civilization, with a Western movie king as the starring role, it would be strange not to accompany him.
Sure enough, many netizens on the Internet were very dissatisfied with the starring role, because the introduction said "Legend of the East" but in fact it was a foreign starring? And the heroine is Tiantian, who is known as box office poison, which is a bit interesting.
However, Wang Zhong, an investor, disagrees. He believes that if the movie is popular, it is a sure bet, not to mention that it can be sold abroad to make money.
No one except Tang Wen expected that this movie would be a trap. However, Tang Wen, who was investing in the movie, had nothing to do and asked Huang Yi to buy the script of Mr. Good, and then passed it on to Jiang Lai and Gan Jing.
In terms of movies, Tang Wen asked Huang Yi to invest in the production of Hollywood's Avengers 2. In China, he bought the copyright of 800, and also from Wolf Warriors, let her invest.
These are all movies that are well-received and box office hits, unlike Director Zhang's "Funny" movies, which are bound to lose money. Huang Yi still had no doubts about Tang Wen's vision.
After all, she is just a "vase" on the table, so naturally she needs some awareness. If she dares to make good decisions, then Tang Wen wouldn't mind changing to someone who is obedient.
Wu Jing, who received investment from Tang Wen, was very surprised. He had just had the idea of shooting his own movie, but he didn't expect someone to come to his door now. He was very satisfied with the conditions offered by Huang Yi.
So Huang Yi invested 100 million to film Wu Jing's first personal movie "Wolf Warrior". This also shocked many people in the industry. This is the first time in China that a movie about personal heroism has been shot for 100 million yuan.
For a time, Wu Jing was in the limelight, while the leading female lead, Tang Wen, was left to Huang Yi to make her own choice. They decided to give up the investment to her anyway, so it was not random to choose who to be the heroine.
It can be said that there was an endless stream of people looking for Huang to rely on for a while. After the two major productions were confirmed in the entertainment industry, which was originally a backwater, everyone began to get excited.
This is the first time since 2012 that someone is willing to invest in a movie. You must know that in the previous two months, no company dared to continue investing in movies.
There is no way that no one knows the attitude of the China Film and Television Bureau. Naturally, no one wants to be the first to eat crabs. After the funds from the two major investors are in place, other companies have followed suit.
However, some popular artists and some "brainless" scripts were still rejected. Only then did everyone understand that although the China Film and Television Bureau allowed capital to enter, it was impossible to imagine playing the same way as before.
For a time, old drama stars and some "respectable" old artists were receiving constant invitations. On the contrary, the lives of some popular artists were getting worse day by day. Even if there were financial backers who wanted to support them, they would not give you a chance at all.
Only then did everyone understand that the China Film and Television Bureau was really going to completely correct the direction of the entertainment industry this time. If the development continued in the previous way, the film and television industry would be a "stinking ditch". Now they are determined to clean up this situation. A pool of stagnant water.
Therefore, during this period, more and more people came to Ma Meimei for help. Ma Meimei had no choice but to hand over some "work" to Xiaolu, who thought that Xiaolu would be very busy.
Unexpectedly, Xiaolu's "comprehension" was surprisingly good. Not only could he perfectly meet Tang Wen's requirements, but he could sometimes draw inferences from one instance, which Ma Meiliang did not expect.
At night, Xiaolu took Gaolu and Xiaomiao to the house they had rented in advance.
"Little deer, don't stay here. My house is right up there." Xiao Miao said with a red face.
The little deer said proudly: "Don't worry, the house is very well insulated. Let's do something new today." As he said that, the little deer took out the red rope and candles that had been prepared in advance.
