Chapter 753 He is not Han Sanping after all
In the capital city, tall buildings stand in the prosperous out the window, you can catch a glimpse of this city of thousands of cities at night.
Looking from a high place, you can see everything.
Different from the skyscrapers that can be seen everywhere in Shanghai, it is like a forest made of steel.
Instead, it is a combination of the ancient and the modern, with a hint of the charm of the Magic City. It not only gives people a sense of prosperity, but also gives people a sense of history.
“Great place, a good place to eat and talk.”
Director Ren looked out the window and couldn't help but smile, looking very happy.
Chen An retracted his gaze and smiled faintly: "I found it specially for Director Ren. He has entertained me so many times in the Magic City, I can't just not show my appreciation."
"Haha, just remember it in your heart, why say it out loud." Director Ren joked.
Chen An continued: "If I don't say it out loud, how can others know my feelings? Hahaha."
The two people who hadn't seen each other for a long time chatted before the food was served.
"I'm happy. It's rare that Shangying got the big prize this time."
"I feel embarrassed when you say that. It makes me sound like I'm biased. I always let you make your own decisions."
"How dare you say that? Han Sanping always gets the lion's share."
"Was there? I don't remember."
Director Ren didn't care: "Just play dumb. I gave him the chance to choose first this time. It was his own choice."
"Hehe." Chen An laughed and didn't respond.
The deceased brought dishes and placed them on the table. There were only six or seven dishes, which were too much for two people to finish.
Director Ren looked out the window and said in confusion, "The capital is a good place, the best place."
After fighting for so many years for Shanghai Film Group, he still couldn't win and finally gave up.
Everyone was united in their efforts back then, but ultimately failed as China Film Group, which held the import rights, was always in the driver's seat.
Chen An said casually: "The Magic City is not bad either. It develops rapidly. I don't recognize it anymore after a while."
Director Ren turned around and said, "Then you should come and see us more often."
"Maybe there's a chance. Brother Ren, you know me well. I don't like to move. Maybe I'm tired from running around the world too much."
"I'm old, and I don't have as much time as you do."
Director Ren looked at Chen An, who was in his prime, and couldn't help but sigh at the power of time.
Chen An: "Brother's hair is thick and black, much better than Brother Han's."
"Haha, when I retire one day, it will be the same."
Director Ren picked up the tea and took a sip slowly: "I understand him a little bit now."
He knew this former rival very well.
Chen An picked up the dishes and ate slowly without saying a word.
"I've read the plan your company handed over, but it's just a few episodes of a short drama. No idea for a second part?"
“Not yet. There is no rush for the Zootopia project. We need to ensure quality rather than quantity.”
Chen An plans to take it slow with this work that has directly topped the domestic IP rankings.
If it's just about making money, spin-offs don't matter, but the original story can't be bad.
Director Ren didn't care and suddenly laughed: "I heard that you rejected the invitation to the Magic Shadow Festival?"
"Have you complained to your brother?"
"I wouldn't say I complained, I just mentioned it."
"It's quite normal. The Big Three send me letters every year, but I usually don't reply."
"That's also overseas. We should help our own people in China more."
Director Ren started speaking for the Magic Shadow Festival, and he actually wanted to invite Chen An to participate.
Something that has only advantages and no disadvantages.
Chen An buried his head in his cooking. "Maybe there's a chance. I don't have time this year."
"Then I wish you win the championship in Venice and complete the Grand Slam."
"I haven't even written my horoscope yet."
Chen An shook his head with amusement. This last step was countless times more difficult than the previous ones.
Fortunately, he won the Cannes Film Festival first, otherwise it would have been more difficult. He can still try his luck with Venice's current difficulties. Otherwise, he can only rely on his works and grind year after year.
Director Ren did not dwell on this topic and asked, "How much do you think Han Sanping would eat today?"
"How could I know that?"
"Haha, anyway, it won't be the number today, so he is not Han Sanping after all."
In the past one or two years, China Film Group has achieved good results, but there have been few big moves.
It is no longer like Han Sanping's previous feature articles, but a steady and cautious approach.
Light Year Pictures
Wu Jing, who hadn't been seen for a long time, came over.
In the office, Chen An looked up at the person coming. He had expected this.
"Finally done?"
"It's done. I found Teacher Dong and revised the script again and again. Finally, it's done."
Wu Jing was very happy and said that the script was finally completed.
Chen An was even happier than him. He immediately took the script and took a look. It was "Wolf Warrior 2".
This movie, which could not be moved away for the next ten years, brought about a box office miracle that lasted for a long time.
This is also the work that made Wu Jing truly become one of the top domestic actors.
The most important thing is that compared to the box office, the investment is not very high. An investment of less than 20 million is really pitifully small compared to those movies that make over 30 billion or billion.
Chen An suppressed his happiness and said in a deep voice, "The first part was very successful, and the second part won't be bad either. It's almost done after being delayed for so long."
"I also took advantage of a loophole. There are relatively few official military and military films in China."
"Stop bragging. Why can't others take the photo?"
Chen An smiled faintly: "You don't have to worry about the investment, but tell me yourself, how much do you plan to eat?"
He wouldn't mind if he took all of it, but since the other party was directing and acting in a project, he must have some ideas.
"Haha." Wu Jing laughed and touched the back of his head: "I made some money from the last movie, so I do plan to invest some money."
But no exact figures were given.
Chen An nodded, indicating that he understood: "Let's make a budget first, and then we can decide when the time comes."
Wu Jing nodded immediately: "Okay, thank you Director Chen."
After getting to know each other and achieving some success, he gradually relaxed his restraint.
Chen An didn't care about his final decision. He would definitely eat half. The other party would probably eat about ten to twenty portions, and Chen An would eat the rest.
Not everyone has the confidence that Chen An had back then. Even if the investment in a movie is their own, many people would not choose to invest it all.
Choose to share instead.
The current party is no longer Wu Jing who wanted to sell his house to bid for the deal. He has someone supporting him behind the scenes, so there is no need to spend everyone's savings.
Although it looks good, I won’t eat too much.
Because he himself didn't know the box office miracle that "Wolf Warrior 2" would create.
The preliminary budget was prepared very quickly and came out within two days. It was roughly million yuan. Chen An raised it a little bit to 2 million yuan.
Of course, the budget is just a budget. It’s still a different story when it comes to actually filming.
As Chen An expected, Wu Jing himself only invested 3000 million and took a 15% share.
The company is very efficient, much better than Wu Jing's original efficiency. Apart from the military training for the actors that he himself required, filming will start in the second half of the year in a short time.
In early May, preparations for the project of "The Wandering Earth" began.
The preparation time is very long, and the earliest estimated shooting time is next year.
For a while, Lightyear Pictures became very busy.
One movie was shot in the first half of the year, another in the second half, and we are also preparing for "The Wandering Earth".
There are also two TV series in preparation, "Kuang Biao" and "Joy of Life" will be ready soon. After the previous two TV series are successful, they will be ready for interviews and start filming at any time.
The publicity for "The Ming Dynasty" began to increase, and the actors were busy promoting the TV series.
Various trailers were also pushed out, and Mango TV also provided the best advertising space.
As for "Ghost Blows Out the Light: The Mystical Ancient City", it will not be launched on the Penguin Video platform until the second half of the year.
