Chapter 386 Entering Huaxia, investment is the best start
"It's love QY. β
Love QY such a website,In terms of traffic, it is not inferior to Tengxun,It is not too much to say that it is the largest video website in China,And many overseas film and television works have entered China,It is this website that plays a role in the middleγ
"Love QY, what an unexpected surprise. β
"So investment is the best start, many people rely on this to break into the entertainment industry, my investment team has collected a lot of scripts for me, is there any interest in investing in a wave, by the way,. β
"TV scripts? or movie scripts?"
Lee Hyun-cheol sat up straight, and it was not the first time for the two of them to invest in such a thing.
"Both. β
Li Xiuyan's career in the entertainment industry started with investment, and one of the two was responsible for paying the money and the other was responsible for selecting scripts.
He trusts Lee Hyun-cheol's vision very much, normal businessmen don't understand the quality of movies at all, they all look at the cast, on the contrary, Lee Hyun-chul first looks at the plot, then the director, and finally the actors.
After the scripts he selected, each ended up being a box office hit.
A bunch of scripts were placed on the table, and the way Lee Hyun-cheol picked the scripts was like touching cards. A pair of eyes is like a scanner, just looking at the name and the director.
"Huh?"
Finally, a wolf word came into his sight.
After seeing the name on it clearly, Li Xianzhe's heart suddenly beat violently.
"Slay the Wolf 2"!
Just looking at the name, even people who have not seen this movie can probably judge its subject matter.
Just staying on the script of this movie for a few seconds, Lee Hyun-chul pulled it out and put it aside.
The investment cost was 180 million Hong Kong dollars, and the final box office was 560 million after a month of release, which was barely earned according to the box office dividends and the ratio between the producer and the crew in the industry. β
As the mainstream of Hong Kong films, Lee Hyun-cheol likes action movies very much.
From the seventies and eighties of the last century to the present, many martial arts stars have come out of Hong Kong films.
And the series of "Kill the Wolf" and "Fuse" are the representatives of Hong Kong action movies after the millennium.
Although this is a series, the first and second parts are completely two plots, and the actors are almost a big change. If you don't look at the box office and evaluation, if you just look at the plot and fight design scenes, Lee Hyun-chul prefers the second part.
gathered Wu Jing, Tony Jia, Ren Dahua, Gu Tianle and Zhang Jin, this configuration can only be done by Hong Kong films.
More than a dozen movies Lee Hyun-cheol only loves "Slaying the Wolf 2", which is still when he didn't choose to read the script of the TV series, this result surprised Li Xiuyan very much.
It's not that he doesn't feel like action movies, but this ratio, it seems that Lee Hyun-chul's taste is getting worse and worse.
"Just this one, not the others?"
"It's not, it's just that I'm personally interested in this movie, and the rest, I have to say, you're in luck, oh, that investment team of yours has a good eye. β
Knowing Li Xiuyan's thoughts, Li Xianzhe pursed his lips and picked out a few more from it and put them in front of the other party.
"Scorching Sun", "Rescue Mr. Wu", "Twelve Citizens", "Master", "Old Paoer".
Excluding "Kill the Wolf 2", which will not be a purely commercial film, the other films are the most popular in 2015 and the highest-grossing ones.
"You're so optimistic about this movie?"
After putting away these five scripts, Li Xiuyan was very satisfied with this result, but when he saw that Li Xianzhe was always staring at the script of "Slaying the Wolf 2", he was suddenly a little curious.
No matter how popular the action movie is, it is not mainstream after all, although HK movies are good in the mainland market, the audience will not support Hong Kong films in a blanket way, relying on the mainland market to survive, and those older generation actors cannot prevent the sunset of Hong Kong films.
Of course, commercial films are undoubtedly the most profitable of the many films. But the problem is that the scale of Hong Kong films, or action movies made in the mainland, is always not as large as Hollywood, according to the proportion of investment and box office returns.
Li Xiuyan does not know the final box office of the movie like Lee Hyun-chul, of course, he admits that the starring cast of the movie is very attractive, but he thinks that whether "Slaying the Wolf 2" can recover its cost is a question.
Not every action star can be like Cheng Long, who is a guarantee in himself and never has to worry about box office revenue.
"When, help me make an appointment with the director of this movie. β
Li Xianzhe didn't bother to say the reason, and the whole person was a little impatient.
In the final analysis, on the one hand, this work is indeed excellent, and on the other hand, it lies in Wu Jing.
Although Wu Jing at this time was powerful, it was far less than two years later.
As early as last year, he announced that he directed and acted in a movie to start filming, and it is already known that it will be released next year.
However, due to the fact that it is a modern military theme, and it is the first time to try it in China, Wu has hit the wall many times, and the biggest obstacle is that no one dares to invest.
Of course, compared to the second part, the difficulties of the first part are nothing. The billions of box office made Li Xianzhe red......
"You're in such a hurry, why do you think you have a lot of confidence in this movie?"
"It's not that I have a lot of confidence, no matter what, I want to win the investment in this movie, since you helped me set up a branch in Huaxia, then you can't put that empty shell there, and then raise a group of idle staff, and urgently make achievements is the most necessary thing for us at the moment. β
Li Xiuyan nodded, out of trust in Li Xianzhe, he decided to be half with Li Xianzhe, as for the TV series, he is not in a hurry, in terms of preparation and filming cycle, it is common for some to prepare for several years.
Of the nearly 20 movies, Lee Hyun-cheol only selected five, which on the one hand proves the viciousness of his vision, and more also sets off the fact that no matter how big or small the investment is, most of the domestic movies and TV series have a strong lineup and rough plot production.
Relying on the actor's own fame and traffic to forcibly drive the box office of the movie has become the fixed thinking of many investors and even directors in the current circle.
Of course, Lee Hyun-cheol didn't say it directly.
Looking at the rest of the TV series scripts in front of him, basically every one of them he would carefully read the plot synopsis, and then, as if he was being thrown aside like garbage, his expression also changed from serious at the beginning to flipping through it casually later.
"Huh?"
"What's wrong?"
Li Xiuyan dared to swear, this was the first time he had seen such an expression on the other party's face in so many years, and he was more serious than when he saw the script of "Slaying the Wolf 2" just now.
Li Xianzhe didn't speak, he directly opened it and took a cursory look, "Don't talk about the others, this one must be won at all costs." β
Holding something in his hand, to be precise, he was holding a copy in his hand.
