Chapter 240 Failure in career and love (please vote for me!)

Shanghai, a powerful film and television group.

When he received the call from Tu Susu, Tu Zheng was talking to Liu Yun in his office.

When he heard that his daughter on the other end of the phone was looking for investment for "Frog Son", Lao Tu instantly felt that he had aged two years again.

The outgoing female college student... now knows that she invested in Will-o'-the-Wisp! Damn it!

Silently putting down the phone, Lao Tu let out a long breath.

A sense of loss arose in my heart as my own cabbage was harvested, and I had to pack some feed for the pigs that harvested the cabbage.

In the past few years, the company's stock price has dropped by half, and I have never felt such a loss!

"Brother Tu, what's going on?"

Seeing that Lao Tu's pitted old face turned into an old bitter melon instantly after putting down the phone, Liu Yun put down the tea cup in his hand and asked curiously.

"It's nothing, it's Su Su... He said that the brat from the Agricultural University made another movie, but he didn't budget enough for the investment and spent it. Let me invest some money..."

"Oh haha……"

It was related to Li Youzhi, and Liu Yun became interested.

Last week, "The Secret and the Great" received a release permit, and the company is planning to release it in the near future. When Liu Yun came to Tu Zheng's office today, he planned to talk to Tu Zheng about the film's promotion and distribution.

The publicity plan included inviting Li Youzhi, one of the leading actors of "Secret", to participate in the publicity and use the popularity of "Invisible Guardian" fans to attract traffic to "Secret".

Now that I heard that Li Youzhi had just completed his PPT interactive drama, he was independently producing film and television works, Liu Yun immediately asked with a smile;

"What did this kid take again?"

"It is said that the film was shot by an internet celebrity who made a main theme. Half of the film was shot but he had no money. As a result, this guy uploaded the finished part to the Internet. The title of the film is "Super Hero Huang Jiguang"."

After listening to Tu Zheng's words, Liu Yun directly picked up the iPad on the table and searched for the title of the film.

When he saw the Bizhan video that popped up, and saw that the video had received more than 500,000 views just a few hours after it was uploaded, Liu Yun couldn't help but exclaimed "Good guy!"

"Oh my god, the title of this movie is like a joke. Is it so popular?"

"ah?"

Frowning, Tu Zheng took the iPad amidst Liu Yun's surprise and hissed.

"My dear...has this kid mastered some traffic password? The interactive drama we did before was so popular, and now the Internet University, which you can tell by looking at the title of the movie and it's the main theme, is so popular?"

After looking at each other with Liu Yun, Tu Zheng clicked on the video.

Forty-five minutes later…

Snap.

Looking at the frozen movie scene, Tu Zheng silently lit another cigarette.

Liu Yun, who was used to seeing strong winds and waves, but now had red circles in his eyes, picked up a lighter and kept one with him.

(╥╯^╰╥), (〒︿〒)

"Lao Liu, tell me what you think."

"This movie has such great staying power!"

Facing Tu Zheng's inquiry, Liu Yun blew out smoke and quickly wiped his eyes.

"The plot of the film is not complicated. This kid's script completely abandons the story's beginning, transition, and conventional three-act structure. From a narrative perspective, the film is a straight line that can be seen from the beginning to the end. The entire story line is only an interlude. The two parts were a bit turbulent. But the filming was so solid that the lens and screen processing can be used as teaching materials in film and television schools!"

"Who asked you this!"

Tu Zheng frowned and hissed when he heard Liu Yun holding a cigarette and starting to analyze the movie from a technical perspective.

Why are you treating me like a child?

I don’t know yet whether the movie is good or not?

"I'm asking you, do you think this film can be cast?"

Facing Tu Zheng's inquiry, Liu Yun clicked his tongue and suppressed the turbulent emotions in his chest.

"How should I put it? It's a bit difficult to make money with this movie. For this kind of main theme movie, if it is taken in theaters, the promotion and promotion effect will be poor. If it is taken online, the advertising on the platform is not easy to sell. So it is either a pure account sharing, Either the broadcast rights of the entire film are sold to satellite TV or online platforms.

With the current popularity of the movie, if the production cost is controlled at around 6 million, it is estimated that the cost can be recovered by selling the broadcast rights separately. But when it comes to word-of-mouth... Even if this film is only the current half, it has already achieved that, and it is expected to win a lot of awards. However, things like brushing off rewards are of little significance to our company. "

After hearing Liu Yun's analysis, Tu Zheng nodded.

It can be said that the situation is similar to what he judged.

From a filmmaker's perspective, the quality of the film is very good.

But from a businessman's perspective, investment is not very attractive.

"Based on your opinion, how much more money would it cost to make this film?"

"This kind of film is mainly expensive in the setting, costumes and fireworks consumption. These expensive parts have been almost done. There should be big scenes in the later stage, so the main two parts are the fireworks consumption and post-production. Not counting labor In terms of cost, three million should be enough.”

"three million……"

Chewing the number silently, Tu Zheng silently stretched out five fingers.

"Invest him five million!"

Looking at Tu Zheng's handiwork, Liu Yun laughed.

"Brother Zheng, are you really treating that boy as your aunt?"

"fart!"

Hearing the words "guye", Tu Zheng was immediately stressed, and the hairs all over his body stood up!

"I just think this film is a good one. This guy has something to do with the production team of Nong Film. Two cars are enough to make a friend."

…

The other end.

Military Arts and Culture Center.

This name may be unfamiliar to most people.

However, the predecessor of this unit can be said to have influenced an era.

Before the military reform, it was called Bayi Studio.

Of course, the unit structure still exists and the factory logo is still retained, but the external name has changed to the Film and Television Department of the Military Art and Culture Center.

At this time, in the central propaganda office, Director Chu Haijian and several comrades were looking at the big screen in front of them with red eyes.

On the big screen, the scene of "Super Hero" has been frozen at the end.

The appearance of this unfinished film in the cultural center was actually very accidental; since the end of the War to Resist US Aggression and Aid Korea in 1953, this year happens to be the 70th anniversary.

In order to commemorate the 70th anniversary of the end of the War to Resist U.S. Aggression and Aid Korea on October 25, the General Secretary of State issued a propaganda task to the cultural center.

During this period, the cultural center was organizing materials to prepare for a "Special Film Exhibition to Resist U.S. Aggression and Aid Korea," which would include outstanding film and television works and documentaries related to the founding war.

While searching for information on the Internet, I accidentally came across such a film that had just been filmed and released.

Such a big online movie really surprised the staff at the cultural center!

With the passage of time, film and television works related to the War to Resist U.S. Aggression and Aid Korea have become quite rare in recent years.

After the advent of the next era of film and television, not to mention online producers, even serious official production units have rarely reflected the theme of resisting U.S. aggression and aiding Korea.

However, under such a general background, there is still such an Internet drama appearing.

Out of curiosity, Chu Haijian and several colleagues played the video, which was only 45 minutes long.

However, this 45-minute video completely touched the soft spot in the hearts of everyone in the Publicity Department.

Although after the military reform, there were many new young people joining the Military Arts and Cultural Center. However, the main team of the center is still the young backbone of the old Bayi Factory.

Seeing the simple narrative and the grand war scenes, a kind of cordiality from the heart arose spontaneously at this moment!

That sense of intimacy comes from the 65-year-old filmmaking philosophy that the Old Bayi Factory implemented before the military reform—the spiritual light and shadow that reflects the times!

"What a great film. In this day and age, we can still see such a solid work on the theme of resisting U.S. aggression and aiding Korea. It still shows heroic stories. For a moment just now, I felt that the work of our old Bayi Factory was leaked."

"Yeah, it's a pity that only half of the film was shot."

"Sigh... What's even more pity is that the opening chapter is missing the logo of Bayi Film Studio."

Hearing the regrets of his comrades beside him, Chu Haijian waved his hand.

"You can't say that. The mission of Lao Bayi Factory in the previous era has been completed, and we have a new journey in the new era. However, any production unit that can shoot that kind of spiritual core is what we are happy to see. Arrived. Small order."

With that said, Chu Haijian waved to his colleagues on the side.

"We can't just watch a film like this fail to be filmed due to lack of conditions. You should find a way to contact the creative team of this film and tell them that we can provide some shooting assistance. The Film and Television Department has not had any large-scale projects recently. We can give them some help with fireworks and props.”

"Okay director, I'll try to contact you."

Hearing Chu Haijian's instructions, Central New Media Operation Shan Dan nodded.

"Wait a minute……"

Just when she was about to go back to the computer to find her contact information, Chu Haijian thought for a while and stopped her.

"It's not very good. This film seems to be a political propaganda project sponsored by Vinh Film and Television Group. We don't have any ideas on the wall. Let's do it. I'll call the Vinh Film Group after work tomorrow. Ask them if they need help, and then you can contact the creative team over there. Let’s do this for today and pack up and get off work.”

"good!"

Watching his colleagues pack their things and get ready to get off work, Chu Haijian picked up the remote control and chose to play the stopped video again.

He clicked his tongue when he saw the bare title sequence of "Super Hero".

If there was a red star Bayi factory logo in front of this film, it would look... pretty good.

…

Vinh province.

Liu Zhenyang's wife Du Meiling felt that her husband was a little strange today.

Liu Zhenyang, who has never been in the habit of self-reflection, took out a bottle of liquor from the wine cabinet when he returned home, frowned and drank one glass.

Asked him what was wrong, he didn't say anything. He seemed to have encountered some huge doubts.

At around ten o'clock in the evening, Du Meiling looked at the back of the man sitting in the bathroom smoking, and quietly opened Baidu on her mobile phone.

"Why did the man suddenly become silent, drink heavily, and secretly hide in the bathroom to smoke?"

brush.

As the page refreshed, a large row of emotional questions and answers appeared in front of her.

"How to deal with a husband who is having an extramarital affair", "How to deal with extramarital affairs for middle-aged men", "10 signs of extramarital affairs and 50 ways to deal with your husband's cheating", "Division of property after marriage and related legal provisions"...

Seeing the large search results on the page, Du Meiling silently sat up from the sofa and picked up the small broom on the coffee table.

Tsk, sniffhiss.

In the bathroom, Liu Zhenyang, with his feet soaked in a wooden bucket, took a deep breath of cigarette.

As the smoke filled the air, he bit his lip.

No...the audience this time is sick, right?

Can an Internet university with this kind of theme become popular?

It doesn’t make sense!

Just when he was troubled by this ultimate problem, a black shadow rushed behind him.

As soon as he turned around, he saw a green broom shining in front of his face like a shooting star... rushing towards him!

"Liu Zhenyang, you bastard, I will fight with you!"

The sound of the broom breaking the wind and the woman's high-pitched roar contributed to a shrill scream that resounded throughout the community...

Rushing towards the world!
