3350 Is Your Ambition Too High?
"If it can be filmed well, it will have the fast-paced tension and excitement of a popcorn movie, and the high-end feeling of a brain-burning movie that makes people constantly think about it. I have read the original book several times, and every time I read it There are new discoveries.”
"I also searched the Internet specifically. Fans of the book are all sharing their own analyses. The more details I dig into, the more I feel that this story is really amazing."
"I don't know if I have the skills to make it well. The other reason is that I have no experience. Not to mention me, all the directors in our country have no experience in making science fiction films."
Han Zhuoli and Han Zhuoling are both experts, so they naturally understand it immediately.
"The biggest cost here is not the cost of special effects, but the money spent on constant trial and error," Han Zhuoli said.
"Yes." Han Zhuofeng said.
"Actually, if I tell you, you will definitely support me. Cost is not a problem for me. But this pressure is extraordinary. I can't gamble on an unknown result with your unconditional support."
"If you support it, then you will also put pressure on the directors of the group. If the shooting is not good and the results are not good, it will be difficult for you to explain to the board of directors."
"Don't talk about such a difficult drama. I'm still just learning from the director and have no experience in directing myself." Han Zhuofeng scratched his head, "I'm really afraid that if I fail, you won't be able to explain it to me."
"That's why I wanted to try it secretly and use my own money. Even if I fail, it will be my own fault. I won't let anyone laugh at you too."
Han Zhuofeng sighed and said: "I had expected that this would be difficult, but when it came to actual implementation, I didn't expect it to be so difficult."
Originally, he could get some investment.
The investors knew that he was the third young master of the Han family and were very willing to invest. When they heard that he was going to film a movie, they took the initiative to find him.
However, Han Zhuofeng didn't want his brothers to take the blame and clean up the mess if something happened.
Therefore, Han Zhuofeng said that this was entirely out of his own will, and his two brothers did not know about it.
And he didn't intend to alarm Han Bang.
In this case, those investors should think about it carefully.
Then, after thinking about it, there was no more news.
Han Zhuofeng scratched his head in distress and said to Han Zhuoling and Han Zhuoli: "Brother, do you think I have too much ambition and too little skill?"
"For the first film I direct, should I be more conservative and play it safe?" The more Han Zhuofeng went into it, the less confident he became.
But he has invested so much energy and financial resources into it, and he has already boarded the ship and reached the deep sea.
Unless you reach the other side, it is impossible to turn back.
Therefore, Han Zhuofeng now urgently needs someone he respects who can give him confidence.
Han Zhuoling said: "It is indeed risky for you to choose such a difficult film for your first time directing. This is a double-edged sword. It would be fine if you were an ordinary newcomer with no reputation. But as the third young master of the Han family, you Even trying to keep a low profile is impossible.”
"If the photo is not good, you will be ridiculed first. If the photo is good, you will become famous in one fell swoop. Of course, some people will also make sarcastic remarks, saying that you have a big tree at your back, a high starting point, and you can invest as much as you want. In this way, if If you can’t shoot well, then it’s just useless.”
"However, if it really succeeds, then you can completely ignore these gossips. You have listened to these words since you were a child. I have full confidence in you on this point."
"As for what you said about having high ambitions and low ambitions, it depends on how you look at it. Indeed, in the beginning, it is better to be steady and steady. But you also said that this is the first time for us to make a science fiction movie, and no one has tried it before."
"Even experienced directors are still inexperienced when they get involved in this industry. Everyone is on the same starting line." Han Zhuoling said, "So, if you doubt yourself in your tone, it is better to stick to your original intention."
"It is very rare for a director to encounter a good story. If you encounter it rarely, it would be a pity not to film it. Of course, you can also buy the copyright first and save it for a few years before filming."
"But from a business point of view, if it is in your hands, if someone else shoots it in the meantime, and you shoot it again, it won't be as gimmick as the first one. So, if you are brave enough, then take a risk."
"Young man, don't you even have a little bit of drive and hard work? Although the initial decision you made was impulsive, as long as you have enough drive and take it seriously, even if there are some shortcomings, it will never be the same in the end. Difference."
"Besides, is our family short of money?" Han Zhuoli said, "You are afraid that we will not be able to explain to the board of directors, so you dare not tell us. But don't my eldest brother and I have money? Can't we invest in you in our own name?"
"Although this is your first movie, I have great confidence in you. You have worked with so many famous directors and learned so much, so this is a good opportunity for acceptance," Han Zhuoli said.
"I have discussed with my eldest brother. We will each invest 50 million in you first." Han Zhuoli said, "Instead of using the company, we will use our personal account. Including your previous investment, it will be 150 million. To be honest, Nowadays, for many domestic blockbusters, the pure shooting costs, excluding the artists’ remuneration, are not necessarily that high.”
Lu Man nodded.
Many commercial blockbusters advertise hundreds of millions in shooting costs, but in fact they are all false.
How will the audience know how much was actually invested?
It's just a gimmick.
After watching the release, you will know the effect.
"It doesn't matter if it's not enough for us to invest again." Han Zhuoli said, "However, this doesn't mean you don't have to save money. Money is still used wisely. No matter how much the final cost is, every step should be controlled within Do it in the most economical way possible.”
"Of course!" Han Zhuofeng already knew that if he said it, his two brothers would definitely support him.
That's why he didn't dare to say it.
It's his own business, and he bears the risks himself.
But now, Han Zhuoli and Han Zhuoling support him so much.
And it really saved his life.
Han Zhuofeng nodded excitedly, his voice trembling.
"If the follow-up is not enough, we will add more. So, get your car back quickly. How big a deal is it? How long can you hold on even if you sell the car?" Han Zhuoli said angrily.
"Okay." Han Zhuofeng quickly agreed.
"Now that you have money, you don't have to worry. Since this is our first real science fiction movie, then if there is anything we don't understand, let's learn it."
