"Hehe, I don't have a problem with this."

Listening to Gao Runqing's words relayed by Wei Xiaolin, Sun Peng shrugged his shoulders and said: "I'm just responsible for writing the script and then handing it over to you to shoot, as for who will invest in the end, what proportion they will have, and who will be responsible for this kind of thing in the future, I won't care, that's your business!" ”

Sun Peng is really not interested in caring about these things.

Or in other words, isn't this the unspoken rule in the film industry? After the success of a low-to-medium and low-cost film, the sequel will definitely increase investment, not only the production costs, but also the actors' salaries and publicity costs. Because any filmmaker who is a little ambitious hopes to get more box office.

But after the costs go up, can you hold on to a small company?

And even if the film is barely filmed, the situation of the sequel is completely different from the first one. The cost of the first part is low, even if the publicity is not strong, but as long as the quality of the movie itself is good enough, it can make a lot of money when it is released in China, but the investment in the second part is so large, if it is six or seven billion dollars smashed into it, there is no domestic box office of more than 2 billion to recover the cost?

For a small company, how likely are you to achieve more than 200 million?

Not to mention who wants to just return to their original costs instead of making a lot of money? Do you want the highest domestic film scheduling rate? Do you want to go into those overseas ticket warehouses? A variety of top promotional resources, do you want it?

Lotus and the Forbidden City intervened in "Terminator 2", Sun Peng was not surprised at all.

"And I think it's the best outcome."

After a pause, Sun Peng continued: "With your friend's small company, he can't handle "Terminator 2" at all, even if he reluctantly wants to shoot it himself, it will be a chicken feather ending in the future." ”

The effect that Sun Peng wants is not a perfect copy of "Terminator 2".

He hoped that Wei Xiaolin would shoot it more excitingly, at least in terms of scenes and details, so that he would not take the risk of handing it over to him and Gao Runqing.

“…… I see. ”

After taking a deep breath, Wei Xiaolin nodded seriously.

"But for now, our focus is on Heroes!"

Seeing that the other party had agreed with his point of view, Sun Peng smiled and said, "In a little more than a month, we will set off again, so why do you have to cut out the rest of the footage before?" Do you want to get them all done before you go? ”

"You're the boss, you have the final say!"

Shrugging his shoulders, Wei Xiaolin also looked indifferent.

In fact, there are not many shots of the yellow leaves in the next autumn, and they are basically Sun Peng's work, Wei Xiaolin is relaxed and tight. Instead, he was more concerned with another matter: "I said, how is the soundtrack going for the film?" It's been a month since this was recorded, and it's not okay yet? ”

"Almost, another week at most."

Speaking of the soundtrack, Sun Peng also had a slight headache.

Although he was not stingy at all and paid the orchestra enough, it was a pity that he still had performance tasks, and he usually had to train in the morning, and only in the afternoon could he have time to work for him. So the soundtrack was completed a week later than expected, and it was a week late!

"But in terms of effect, it's really great."

Thinking of the paragraphs he heard two days ago, Sun Peng smiled with satisfaction: "Believe me, when the time comes, add them to our edited footage, and you will understand the charm of these things when they are combined......

……

Wednesday, August 24.

Although it is a weekday, it is not much different from the weekend for the people of Lao Sun's family. After all, the older generation has basically retired, and Sun Peng and their generation basically have no work except for Zheng Jia, either celebrities, agents, or company bosses, and they are very free in time.

Of course, even if it is Zheng Jia, it is easy to ask for a leave.

So at ten o'clock in the morning that day, Sun Peng's house was already lively, and more than a dozen people came. In addition to Sun Peng's uncle, sister-in-law and eldest sister's family, there are also Zheng Jia's parents and brother's family, as well as Zheng Hui and his wife who took the opportunity to take leave and be lazy......

"If we hadn't come to the door ourselves, wouldn't we have missed Xiao Yaoyao's birthday?"

After knocking on the door, he glared at Sun Peng, Qian Muyun said angrily: "Anyway, I am also the child's godmother, and I didn't even notify the child's birthday, it's too unusual!" ”

"Sister, wasn't I about to make a phone call!"

Blinking his eyes, Sun Peng smiled bitterly with an aggrieved face.

It is true that he doesn't plan to toss his daughter's first birthday, and he just wants to invite his family from the beginning, and it is also true that he will have a low-key time, but other people can not be invited, how can Sun Peng, the Luo Cheng family who lives in the same community, ignore it?

I didn't say it in advance, I just didn't want them to prepare gifts.

However......

When Sun Peng let go of the door and was about to beckon the Heavenly King and Luo Cheng to enter the door, he was shocked to find that the Heavenly King behind him was still holding a big pink gift box in his hand!

"If you don't tell us, we won't remember?"

Rolling his eyes at Sun Peng, Luo Cheng said angrily: "Don't forget, Mu Yun is Yaoyao's godmother, and she usually comes almost every day or two!" ”

“……”

The corners of his eyes twitched twice, and Sun Peng was speechless.

Well, he has to admit that Zheng Jia is definitely "broad" now. Tianwang's sister-in-law Qian Muyun is the child's godmother, world-class diva Chen Feifei and international superstar Lin Lin are her best friends, and there are also a large number of actress friends such as Gong Xiaomeng, the girlfriend of the big star Hu Tian, which is quite delicious every day.

But......

After taking the gift box in Luo Cheng's hand, Sun Peng glanced behind him, pointed to the small flatbed cart with at least a dozen boxes, and asked helplessly, "What about these things?" Brother Luo, don't you tell me that just the two of you have prepared so many birthday gifts for your children, right? ”

"Haha, of course not."

Tianwang and Qian Muyun looked at each other and smiled, and soon cooperated to hand over the gift boxes to Sun Peng: "This is Fei Fei's, she specially called from Los Angeles and asked me to send you a gift; This one is from Hu Tianhe Gong Xiaomeng, and the gift was delivered to my house yesterday; This is Ma Boyuan's ...... Tsk, this one is amazing, Brother Liang Ren's birthday gift! ”

Listening to the familiar names, Sun Peng was also dumbfounded.

"Wow, so many gifts?"

At this time, Zheng Jia walked over with the child in his arms, and then saw the pile of gift boxes in Luo Cheng's hand at first glance, and immediately asked in surprise.

"Na, this is Xiang Yuancheng."

Handed the last gift to Sun Peng, Luo Cheng smiled and said, "Yes, it was all sent to the child by the two of us entrusted by others." Maybe you want to keep a low profile and not invite outsiders to your child's birthday, but everyone obviously remembers......"
