Pan Yue really had no choice but to find Han Yiping.

He has been directing for many years, and has made both artistic and commercial films, and the results he achieved are not bad, but they were only domestically produced, and once the films were exported abroad, they all flopped.

He has always wanted to make a blockbuster, a science fiction blockbuster, a science fiction blockbuster comparable to Hollywood, a science fiction blockbuster that can go global.

This must also be a knot of his heart.

But at present, it seems that film investors don't care much about whether the film can go global. What they care more about is how the film performs domestically and how much money the film can help them earn.

Therefore, "Escape Era" encountered the same problem as Yang Jie when it solicited investment. Investors needed Xiao Xianrou to join before they were willing to invest money.

This has almost become a major trend. At present, the movies that Xiaoxianrou joins are not said to be popular, but they will basically not lose money. If the fans are strong enough, they can even make a lot of money. As for word-of-mouth

, of course not.

But to make money, if you care about reputation, you will lose.

After receiving the response from Tomahawk Entertainment, Pan Yue immediately rushed to Lehuang Film and Television with the materials.

…

"Mr. Fang, can we have a serious talk about film investment this time?"

"Han Lan?" Mr. Fang looked at the materials prepared by Pan Yue and saw Han Lan's resume on the starring page.

"According to your request, "The Age of Escape" agrees to join the cast of young traffic actors. Han Lan is a very popular young actor and has already made three movies. I think it is very suitable for your and my needs."

"Where are the movie scores?"

"Eh? em... The first "Blood Green City" had an investment of 10 million and a box office of 39 million."

"It's just a small investment, Lao Pan, you're asking for an investment of 300 million for "The Age of Escape"."

"Mr. Fang, he also played a role in "Blade Rescue 2"!"

"Where's the box office?"

"..." Pan Yue felt that this guy was deliberately making things difficult for him, right?

But after all, he is the father of the sponsor, so he can only laugh and say: "Mr. Fang, this "Blade Rescue 2" hasn't been released yet."

"In other words, he has only achieved some relatively good results when he made small-investment movies, and other movies are not so good at the moment?"

"Mr. Fang, you can't say that. Han Lan's acting skills I have seen have reached the level of a professional actor, and the two directors who have worked with him, Yang Jie and Wang Qiang, also highly recommend him."

"Old Pan, nowadays movies don't depend on acting skills, but on popularity."

"Mr. Fang, there is also a popular Han Lan!"

"..." Mr. Fang impatiently closed the materials and threw them on the table, "Lao Pan, I think you may have misunderstood us. We want fresh meat with small traffic to join, but it doesn't necessarily have to be Han.

Lan, for example, you can consider Chu Kean."

"Chu Ke'an?" Pan Yue was stunned for a moment, and immediately realized that these guys wanted to play the old trick of left hand out and right hand in!

Lehuang Film and Television and Lehuang Entertainment are basically the same family, and Chu Kean is the head of Lehuang Entertainment. As long as Chu Kean stars, the higher his salary is, the more early investment Lehuang Film and Television can recoup!

"Although Chu Kean's popularity is no longer at its peak, he is still a top-tier traffic niche. I think he can definitely boost the popularity of your movie. With him starring, there is no need to worry about the box office." Mr. Fang said with a smile from his assistant.

He took over a new contract and pushed it in front of Pan Yue, "Old Pan, I know what you're thinking. You want to make a science fiction blockbuster and you need to spend money on scenes and special effects. Your 30 million is simply not enough. We can

I’ll give you 300 million to make the film, but the leading role must be Chu Ke’an, there’s no room for negotiation.”

Pan Yue frowned and opened the contract he pushed over. He was also shocked when he saw Chu Kean's salary on it: "One hundred million?"

Mr. Fang smiled and helped him turn another page: "Lao Pan, you are an old man too. There are some rules that are no longer interesting. The investment of 300 million yuan will deduct the two leading actors' total remuneration of 200 million yuan.

, there is still 100 million for you to toss, is it enough for you to make a blockbuster? When you go back to promote it to the outside world, you will still have a large investment of 330 million, the movie gimmick is big enough, right?"

"I'll tell you the truth, Lao Pan, the industry is in chaos these days, and everyone is competing for the market. China Entertainment has made a big move, and is also currently filming a science fiction blockbuster with a claimed investment of 350 million. Once they let them

It’s done, Wu Tao’s popularity will go even further. The cake is so big, we can’t let them take it all, right? So we Lehuang plan to participate in the war, and we can make additional investment if necessary in the future. Our request is very simple,

At least elevate Chu Kean to the same status as Wu Tao."

"Lao Pan, we believe you have this ability."

"Sorry, Mr. Fang, you overestimated me." Pan Yue closed the contract, "Mr. Fang, with an investment of 100 million and two leading actors who can't act, I really can't make it."

"Lao Pan, it's three hundred million." Mr. Fang corrected.

"Whatever, Mr. Fang, I really can't agree to your conditions. Take your leave."

"Lao Pan, your film is a brand new IP. It has no successful precedent and is very risky. No one in China is willing to spend so much money on it for you. Without investment, what can you produce with your 30 million?

"

"And we don't have to vote for you. We have other options. Lao Pan, think about it clearly. After passing this village, there won't be this store!"

Pan Yue didn't answer, silently packed up the materials he brought and walked away. His back reminded him of the first time he was looking for someone to invest twenty years ago.

Great directors are not worth mentioning in front of capital.

…

…

"No more pictures?" Han Lan was chewing on the roasted ostrich leg. When she heard Han Yiping's words, she immediately lost her appetite. She threw the bone with a trace of shredded meat back into the baking pan, and then licked her fingers.

"Why did everything look so good suddenly stop taking pictures?"

"I heard that the investors withdrew their capital and couldn't take the photo because they had no money." Han Yiping glanced hungrily at the baking pan with only bones left in front of Han Lan, "Have you eaten all of it?"

"There's one left for you in the kitchen."

Han Yiping immediately became happy and ran to find something to eat for himself.

When he came out with a large plate of roasted ostrich, he happened to see Han Lan sitting there distracted, wondering what he was thinking.

When he put down the baking pan, Han Lan took away a piece of roasted leg and began to chew it silently.

"..." Han Yiping.

"Dad, I want to invest in "The Age of Escape"."

"Huh?" Han Yiping was holding a roasted wing in his mouth. Hearing Han Lan's words, he was also stunned.

A guy who usually only knows how to eat actually thinks of investing in movies?

It's like a little brat suddenly asking the family for money to invest in the red sleeve trick.

I feel like my son has suddenly grown up.

"I think this movie will be popular and make a lot of money. Our family can't always rely on Teacher Xia to make money, right?"

Han Yiping nodded: "Yes, our old Han family does not have the tradition of eating soft food, so we can't break the rules here!"
