Chapter 192 Money is a bastard, we must respect dreams!
At present, the domestic film market is still in a stage where there are too many monks and too little food.

It is those old faces who show up every year, causing the audience to watch either blockbuster movies or comedies.

The problem is that blockbusters are not as big as Hollywood, and the upper limit of comedy is too low.

If things go on like this, the domestic market will be divided up by Hollywood sooner or later.

Therefore, Chief Jia founded the "Tian Wing Project", Xiao Cui founded the "New Director Project", and Huang Bo established the "HB+U New Director Assistance Project".

The launch of these plans is to support some new directors and give this market more vitality.

The most successful of these projects is the "Good Monkey 72 Transformation Film Project" led by Ning Hao, which has supported ten outstanding filmmakers in total.

Among these ten people are Wen Muye, the chief director of "I'm Not the God of Medicine" and Lu Yang, the official director of "Embroidered Spring Knife".

Generally speaking, this kind of director support plan always wants to get some benefits from these directors, just like raising a hen that lays golden eggs.

However, Ning Hao still has a sense of social responsibility. It may be that he was taken care of by Liu Tianwang when he debuted, so he provided a strong production platform, from early funds and scripts to mid-term producers, actors, special effects, and then to Later publicity and support are all whatever you ask for.

And the most commendable thing is that he does not set hard targets for the works of these directors.

Let it grow completely.

Being a director is a profession that burns money. If he let it go like this and let these people not think about the box office, it would burn even more money.

Compared with Ning Hao's handwriting, Ji Yun's investment of 50 yuan is simply a drop in the bucket.

Ji Yun is not afraid of throwing money, but he is afraid that even a splash will not be aroused after the money is invested.

But if these directors have the skills, then he might as well give it a try.

Zhang Meng is undoubtedly the one with the foundation, as can be seen from the movie "The Piano of Steel", he is full of talent.

"Show me the book."

Ji Yun stretched out his hand, although he was very optimistic about Zhang Meng and wished to sign him directly, but the procedures that should be followed still had to go through.

Zhang Meng grinned, showing an awkward smile, "I haven't finished writing the script yet."

Qiao Shan had a strange expression on his face, it seemed that this man was really here to amuse them.

You say he is a liar, he can write so many excellent sketch books, you say he is not a liar, isn't this just doing empty-handed white wolf work now?

Zhang Meng's face turned red, and he didn't have a notebook in his hand, so it was really hard to impress people purely by past achievements.

He also came here with the attitude of giving it a try, unlike Xin Yukun who quit his job, he made a note that Ji Yun couldn't make sense, so he went back and continued to write a sketch book, and came out to embrace his dream when he had money.

Not hungry anyway.

Zhang Meng felt that he was a little unreasonable in this matter, but he has come here, and he has to say everything he wants to say.

He bit the bullet and said: "This story tells the life of a laid-off worker after retirement. The competitiveness lies in the jokes and the background of the story."

Ji Yun nodded, he was very relieved about the jokes, and the two sketch books "Kung Fu" and "Speaking Things" were also considered masterpieces in Mr. Zhao's career.

"Where is the advantage of the background?"

"The main reason is that the urban and rural areas in the Northeast have a kind of backward utopianism. Advanced industrial technology is slowly being eliminated by time. From the future that people gave these extreme rewards to the contrast of being devastated by the times and falling behind."

Ji Yun also understands that, to sum it up in the words of later generations, it is steampunk.

The natural romantic optimism of Northeast people has also brought many benefits to this artistic background.

"what do you think?"

Ji Yun didn't answer, but asked Qiao Shan beside him.

Qiao Shan was also a little bit embarrassed. He is also from the Northeast. Isn't the situation over there just like what he said.

Transforming from the country's largest heavy industry base to the world's granary, this black land has such a sense of contrast of the times, so as soon as Zhang Meng's words came out, he unconsciously imagined this movie.

But after thinking about it, as an employee of the company, he couldn't make Ji Yun pay for this empty-handed white wolf just because of this sense of recognition.

"I think he's right, but."

"You're right." Ji Yun patted Qiao Shan on the shoulder, interrupting the rest of his sentence. "How much do you want?"

"Ah?" Zhang Meng was taken aback for a moment, he didn't expect that Ji Yun on the opposite side was more straightforward than himself.

"One million, one million is fine!"

Ji Yun smiled, "Who do you want to invite as the leading role?"

"Uh, I think Mr. Fan Wei's acting skills are very good, and he can play the leading role."

Zhang Meng and Fan Wei had worked together before, so if you invite him to come, you can get a friendship price. As for other group performances, he also has some resources at his disposal.

"I also know Teacher Fan Wei, but 100 million is not enough."

Zhang Meng's mouth felt a little sour, 100 million is indeed not enough.

He originally planned to get the 100 million and pull up the crew, to see if he could use the name of Teacher Fan Wei to pull in some more investment.

"Well, I'll grant you 300 million."

"What?" Qiao Shan's eyeballs almost fell out. He gave 50 for nothing just now, and now he sends 300 million in one mouthful?
This money is too easy to earn!

"Boss, do you want to think about it again?"

"Is that 400 million enough?" Ji Yun asked with raised eyebrows.

"Enough is enough!" Before Qiao Shan could react, Zhang Meng quickly waved his hand, "300 million is enough."

"Then sign the contract and get the money."

Ji Yun took out the "Deed of Sale" and slapped it on the table.

Zhang Meng didn't even look at it, and rushed to the two of them in one step, writing down his name in a hurry, for fear that Ji Yun would regret it.

Looking at his appearance, Ji Yun felt a little amused in his heart.

He was still afraid that Zhang Meng would go back on his word, as long as "The Piano of the Steel" was filmed, the 300 million would be a hair on Jiu Niu's body.

"Then I'll go back to Zhang Luo first."

"Go." Ji Yun waved his hand with a smile on his face.

Seeing Zhang Meng leave, Qiao Shan couldn't hold back anymore, "Boss, you are impulsive."

Seeing Qiao Shan's funny appearance, Ji Yun couldn't hold back his smile, "What's wrong, Shanzi."

"The last 50 we voted for is unclear. That person is just a column drama director. We haven't even seen his column. Isn't it too arbitrary to just throw money at him?"

Ji Yun nodded.

Of course, it is not to affirm his words, but to feel at ease with Qiao Shan's sincerity.

The movie "Blessed Ears" is also a low-profile movie, and it should be stuffed for him.

Seeing Ji Yun thinking about it, Qiao Shan thought that his own persuasion would be effective after all, so he quickly added fuel to the flames: "This time it was 300 million. He took the 300 million away after talking about his dreams. It must have been too easy."

"Ha ha."

Ji Yun sneered: "Money is a bastard, we must respect dreams!"

Signing two potential stocks in a row made him a little swollen at this time.

After finishing speaking, he walked to the door with big strides, opened the door, and shouted at the bustling crowd outside: "Who still has dreams!"
