When Zhao Chengwen was young, martial arts was still popular.

The most unforgettable memory of his boyhood was peeking down at a martial arts book in the corner of the classroom.

When he first chose to be a director, he actually wanted to realize his childhood martial arts fantasy and make the stories in those little books into movies so that more people could see them.

Unfortunately, martial arts in this world declined too quickly. The premature impact of superheroes led to the demise of Chinese martial arts films.

In the eyes of many young people, Superman is much more powerful than those who wield swords and swords.

So Zhao Chengwen's first martial arts film was also his last martial arts film, so it was no surprise that he jumped into it.

After that, he honestly followed the mainstream trend, and also made Chinese superhero movies imitating the blockbusters of Lighthouse Country. Later, when the country called for cultural revitalization, Zhao Chengwen began to try to make costume films.

At this time, Zhao Chengwen had been working hard for many years. He targeted the female market in China at first sight, successfully popularized a wave of palace battle dramas, and made it rare for China to have a movie of its own theme.

So after so many years, does he still remember martial arts?

Naturally, he remembered that even when he was filming palace battle scenes, he could often see some shadows of martial arts. The popular Xianxia films later gave him more opportunities to incorporate martial arts elements into his films, which was a solution to the problem.

Let’s understand the regrets of the past.

However, he also knows who the target group of the movies he directs is, so he always comes quietly and does not dare to shoot too many martial arts scenes.

And now, a fairy tale movie that didn't seem to emphasize flirting was placed in front of him.

Zhao Chengwen looked at Han Lan and recalled the movies he had made before, especially the recently popular kung fu movies. There were basically no emotional scenes, and they were just fighting! The various bloody fighting scenes were so exciting that the word "refreshing" stood out.

!

This "Zhu Xian" seems to have some similarities but similar results. I'm afraid fighting scenes are indispensable. But looking at the script, it's not about fists and punches like kung fu movies, but various weapon fighting techniques.

In fact, if you take away those magical weapons, spells and other illusory settings, isn't this just martial arts?

Zhao Chengwen was moved.

In this movie, he seems to be able to bring in private goods openly and openly!

"Ahem, I probably understand what you mean. Han Lan, how much do you plan to invest in this movie?" Zhao Chengwen asked casually and continued to read the script.

"Our company has made an evaluation and it should be possible to complete the filming for 6.5 billion."

Zhao Chengwen stopped turning the script and looked up at Han Lan: "How much?"

"6.5 billion."

"Hiss~"

Zhao Chengwen subconsciously covered his chest.

"Director Zhao?" Han Lan was startled and quickly went up to help him, shouting and asking: "Where is the medicine? Where is the medicine?"

Zhao Chengwen pushed him away and calmed down in one breath: "I don't have a heart disease! Oh my god... your company is making movies regardless of cost now, right?"

Seeing that he was fine, Han Lan was relieved and said with a smile: "Director Zhao, it's hard for a clever woman to make a meal without rice. This movie is almost all special effects from start to finish. If you don't have enough money, it will definitely not be successful."

"According to the special effects standards of "Escape Age"?" Zhao Chengwen asked.

"Director Zhao, looking at the question you asked, it seems like you haven't spent a lot of money on special effects." Han Lan said with a smile.

"..." Zhao Chengwen.

I am a person who shoots period films, what kind of special effects do I need?

Han Lan was no longer angry with him, and explained with a smile: "Director Zhao, when we were filming "The Age of Escape", our company really didn't have much money, and the special effects produced were only average. But now, our company is filming

The special effects of the movie must be fully utilized, and the special effects companies are asking for their best special effects standards! The 3.3 billion investment in "Escape" is probably not enough to spend on special effects for this movie. In addition, there are also costumes

, Director Zhao, you are making a costume film, so you should know how expensive good costumes are, right?"

Zhao Chengwen has to admit it. When he was at his peak, he filmed a palace drama. He relied on his reputation accumulated over the years to pay great attention to it. The costumes in it were all the best, especially those of high-ranking officials.

The clothes for the harem and concubines, all kinds of hand-embroidery, and finally the cost of clothing alone accounted for a quarter of the investment in the entire drama.

The costumes in fairy tale films are mainly Taoist robes, and the cost is definitely not as gorgeous as that in palace dramas, and naturally not that expensive, but if you really want to pay attention to it, it will still cost a lot of money.

"Han Lan, Tomahawk Entertainment paid for the 6.5 billion investment yourself?" Zhao Chengwen asked again.

"I can only pay for it myself. Could it be that Director Zhao wants to pay for us?" Han Lan said mischievously.

Zhao Chengwen smiled and waved his hand: "I mean, Han Lan, your Tomahawk Entertainment only invests in making a movie every time, which is not good."

"Not good? I think it's pretty good." Han Lan smiled.

Zhao Chengwen shook his head, lowered his voice and said: "Apart from talking about risk sharing, Han Lan, if you go it alone every time, it will easily cause dissatisfaction among your colleagues. I believe that with your current performance of Tomahawk Entertainment,

If the movie needs investment, there will definitely be many people willing to invest. I think you should consider it. After all, a meal needs more people to eat it together. You can just hold the pot and let others watch you eat it.

Others are easily jealous, and when they are jealous, they will throw blame..."

"They dare!" Han Lan slapped the table and said.

Zhao Chengwen was startled, but still looked at Han Lan with a smile.

Don't they dare?

Every time there is a box office war, the movies that are the most hacked and have the most rhythm are Tomahawk Entertainment's movies.

In fact, Zhao Chengwen raised this issue with him today because many investors who have cooperated with him hope that he can give some advice to Tomahawk Entertainment.

It’s so ugly to eat each other!

Although Zhao Chengwen also knows that these people's demands are a bit unreasonable, but that's the fact. Money moves people's hearts. Every time they watch Tomahawk Entertainment's movies making huge profits at the box office, who wouldn't be moved?

Especially after trying to make similar movies by myself, everyone wanted to get a piece of the pie.

But Tomahawk Entertainment doesn't attract external investment for every movie, which makes them very unhappy.

Nowadays, movies basically have several investors. Even if it is a leading company like China Entertainment, it will give a small share to others. Sharing the box office risk is one thing, but the main reason is to avoid being attacked by a group.

Tomahawk Entertainment naturally knows this, but... still can't let them participate.

"Director Zhao, it's really nice to have a meal with more people, but we have to work together to make a good meal! It's not like you don't know the virtues of those people. You just invested money in the movie yourself.
