Chapter 141 Feng Xiaogang's troubles
In the imperial capital, Feng Xiaogang's mansion.
"Mr. Wu, listen to me, I have confidence in this film, and I will definitely be able to pay back. Don't you believe my reputation, Feng Dapao?"
"Well, Director Feng, I still have a meeting to hold, I don't have time, so let's do this first, see you later!"
Afterwards, a beep came from Feng Xiaogang's phone, which was the busy tone of the phone.
Hearing the busy tone, Feng Xiaogang's expression was ugly, and he put the phone in his hand heavily on the landline. Seeing his appearance, he almost couldn't help but throw it out.
"Damn it, when I was asked to make a comedy film, everyone ran faster than a monkey. Now it's okay, I don't make comedy films, and everyone runs faster than a rabbit!" Feng Xiaogang's face was very ugly.
But after the anger passed, Feng Xiaogang felt a deep sense of powerlessness!
He knew why those people rejected him so much, because the film he was going to shoot was not a comedy film he was good at, but a war film, and it was not a costume war film, but a civil war and Korean war film!
War movies have been popular in China for a while, but they can be traced back to the ancient times of movies, basically in the 80s and [-]s!
With the entry into the 90s, modern war films are no longer popular. As long as they are filmed, they are basically "dead", and dead are ugly!
Not to mention paying back the cost, not even half of the cost!
So now, businessmen have always had a sense of fear for modern war films. This is a bottomless pit. No matter how much money is invested in it, it will not be able to make a splash!
Not to mention, Feng Xiaogang is good at comedies, he is not a director who specializes in making war films, and this war film, anyone with a discerning eye can tell at a glance that this is Feng Xiaogang's transformation work!
In fact, this is not Feng Xiaogang's first transformational work, but the second one. The first one is "The Banquet", but this movie has exploded in reputation. In this movie, out of ten people, at least five want to criticize others, and among the remaining five, two or three are already numb.
Too bad, nothing interesting at all.
Although "The Banquet" won the runner-up box office in 2006, it only just paid back its money, and it didn't make much money at all.
Because the investment in "Night Banquet" has reached 2000 million US dollars, the total Chinese yuan is 6000 million (in 05, the US dollar to Chinese yuan was [-] to [-])!
For profit-seeking businessmen, only real benefits are the most important, as for the others, they are all imaginary!
Therefore, even though Feng Xiaogang is a well-known director in China, no one invested in him to make a movie, because this war movie is too risky, and the possibility of losing money is far greater than making a profit. These businessmen will invest in him. What a ghost!
Not to mention, in Feng Xiaogang's budget, the investment for this film is a bit large, at least 7000 million Chinese yuan, or even 8000 million, 9000 million Chinese yuan!
7000 million is just a minimum limit, as for the upper limit, no one knows!
Because during the filming process, anything can happen, maybe a small idea of the director will cost hundreds of thousands or even millions of Chinese dollars.
For a director, money is never enough!
Especially for those big directors, because what they pay attention to is excellence, and excellence means money!
"Boom, boom, boom!" There was a knock on the door.
Later, I saw Feng Xiaogang's wife Xu Fan walking over with a cup of tea.
"How? Is anyone willing to invest?" Xu Fan asked.
Feng Xiaogang shook his head and complained: "These damned businessmen, profit-seeking villains, they only have profit in their eyes, where is there art? When I was filming comedies, all of them were more diligent than rabbits. Now, they run faster than anyone else." .”
The more he talked, the more angry Feng Xiaogang became, and the louder his voice became!
"Okay, don't be angry, your health will be bad if you get angry." Xu Fan looked at his husband and comforted him.
"Ok!"
For Xu Fan, Feng Xiaogang still cared a lot and agreed.
"How big is the gap now?" Xu Fan asked.
Feng Xiaogang shook his head slightly, and said, "Now Huayi Brothers are the only ones who are relieved. However, this matter has not been settled yet. Moreover, even if they plan to invest in us, it is estimated that they will not exceed 3000 million Huayuan!"
Feng Xiaogang said helplessly: "Their life is not easy now!"
Huayi Brothers only experienced a bout of pain a year ago. Until now, they have not completely recovered from the pain. Naturally, they have no extra resources to put on Feng Xiaogang.
After all, the risk this time is too great!
Even if the Wang brothers are friends of Feng Xiaogang, they dare not put all their money on Feng Xiaogang.
However, the 3000 million is already a life-saving straw for Feng Xiaogang.
Of course, there is another premise, that is, Huayi Brothers will take over his film.
"If you talk more, they should invest in you!" Xu Fan said.
Huayi Brothers can have such a great influence in China, Feng Xiaogang is also indispensible!
"I know, but..." Feng Xiaogang shook his head and did not continue.
Xu Fan knew what Feng Xiaogang said next!
But he couldn't say it!
Feng Xiaogang is also an arrogant person, he cannot allow himself to bow his head to beg others!
If others beg him, that's about the same.
"If it really doesn't work, I'll try to get a loan from the bank. I don't believe it. With my three words, Feng Xiaogang, the repayment of the loan is less than tens of millions of Chinese dollars." Feng Xiaogang gritted his teeth.
This is his last way.
"That's the only way to go!" Xu Fan said.
Then Xu Fan looked at Feng Xiaogang worriedly, and said: "Pay attention to your body, the body is the capital of the revolution, don't exhaust your body because of this little thing."
Feng Xiaogang stretched out his hand to hold Xu Fan's little hand, and said, "Well, I can save it."
"If you can, sign a contract with Huayi Brothers as soon as possible, the clock is ticking," Xu Fan said.
"En!" Feng Xiaogang nodded, but in the bottom of his heart, he still didn't want to go to Huayi Brothers so early, because what happened to Hu Yu last time still affected him!
He didn't want the Wang brothers to put pressure on him in the name of the company anymore!
In fact, no director wants to hear a second voice in the crew. In the crew, the director is the biggest.
"Boom boom boom!"
The door sounded again.
"Sir, someone is looking for you outside!" the servant said to Feng Xiaogang.
"Someone is looking for me? Who?" Feng Xiaogang asked.
"He didn't say his name, he just said that he can solve your troubles!" The servant replied.
"Solve my troubles?" Feng Xiaogang was a little puzzled, and then he thought of his own movie.
In fact, there are quite a few people who know that he is going to make a movie, because the news of his investment has spread throughout the Chinese entertainment circle.
When others avoided him like a plague god, someone came to help him solve his troubles?
Feng Xiaogang's brain is not enough.
"Please invite him in, no, I'll invite him in person!" Feng Xiaogang said loudly.
