Seeing their anxious look, Chu Yian just smiled and didn't go into details.
But he still gave them a little information:
"It's just a preliminary idea now. The work will be officially launched after my part in Crouching Tiger, Hidden Dragon is finished."
"After all, my most important task now is to shoot the part in Crouching Tiger, Hidden Dragon well."
"The next movie to be prepared can be said to be a difficult problem given to me by Mr. Han San. The goal is to break the box office record of the big ship!"
Hearing Chu Yian say this, the big and small Wangs took a breath of cold air.
At this time, they immediately said firmly:
"Brother, don't say anything. No matter what subject or movie you shoot, we will participate."
"Don't forget the brothers when the time comes. The brothers will not forget you when they have good things in the future."
Hearing them say this, Chu Yian naturally smiled and nodded and agreed.
Of course, it is only a preliminary idea at present. He really wants to try a big production.
But the premise is that he has to learn from such a top-notch crew as "Crouching Tiger, Hidden Dragon".
Even if his own scenes are finished, he will probably continue to stay in the crew to help and apply to be an assistant director.
In the previous life, the box office of "Crouching Tiger, Hidden Dragon" in the domestic market was actually very average, only about 15 million. But in the overseas market, it has raked in 200 million US dollars.
Adding various miscellaneous peripheral income, it is probably tens of millions of US dollars. Adding up the overall income is definitely very profitable.
After all, the exchange rate between the US dollar and the soft sister yuan is really high these days.
The cost of this movie is 17 million US dollars, which is about 140 million soft sister yuan at that time. 140 million in 1999 is definitely not a small amount, but Chu Yian really has this money.
The key is that for a while, no one dared to invest such a large sum of money in an uncertain project.
That's right, the news that director Li Min is going to make a martial arts film "Crouching Tiger, Hidden Dragon" has already spread in the circle, and most of the roles have been decided.
But you can act, but many people will hesitate to ask for investment.
After all, the popularity of this work is really low. It was originally a third-rate martial arts novel, the type that no one would know if it was not made into a movie.
But Li Min took a fancy to it and insisted on making it.
As a result, the subsequent process of finding investors was very difficult...
Although his previous art films and commercial films were very successful.
But the martial arts film he made now looks a bit like an art film in the guise of a commercial film...
Businessmen have their own keen sense of touch, and investors are not fools. There are still very few people willing to invest real money.
The key is that it is really difficult to take out more than 10 million US dollars for such a broken script.
Foreigners have never seen this kind of martial arts film and dare not invest.
Orientals know that martial arts movies are great, but they have already passed the golden age of martial arts movies, so they dare not invest...
So, it has become this embarrassing situation now.
The script is ready, the actors are found, and even the salary is negotiated. But in the end, there is no investment, which is quite depressing...
So, when Li Amin came to Chu Yian's celebration party today, in addition to congratulating Chu Yian, he was a little shameless and wanted to ask Chu Yian for some investment...
After all, now everyone has been invited and the crew has been assembled, and the only thing missing is the investor's money. The arrow is on the string and has to be fired!
And Chu Yian's ability to attract money is really exaggerated, and everyone can see it.
Moreover, Li Amin has also heard that Chu Yian is actually quite rich, and his net worth has even exceeded 100 million.
The profit share of the previous album alone is already very considerable, and coupled with the recent popular movie, his net worth is definitely rich.
So he thinks that if he asks Chu Yian to invest, it should be a good choice.
Of course, he didn't hold out much hope. After all, he, as a director, had taken a fancy to an actor, and the actor turned out to be a billionaire...
It felt magical.
He really didn't know Chu Yian was so rich and capable before.
Otherwise, he probably wouldn't have the face and confidence to invite Chu Yian to play a supporting role for him.
Of course, he also watched Chu Yian's "My Sassy Girl". He could see that it was already a very mature director's work.
The shooting was also very attentive, and the control of the lens and the precision of the editing were all very impressive.
As the saying goes, outsiders are very good at making movies.Experts watch the excitement, but experts watch the doorway.
Just by watching this film, he can already conclude that Chu Yian is a very good commercial film director.
Because of this, it will be more difficult for him to ask Chu Yian for investment...
Because Chu Yian will probably judge that this movie is not profitable.
But now that the filming is about to start, he has no better choice, so he can only grit his teeth and come to Chu Yian to try his luck:
"Xiao An, now I don't dare to call you that, should I change my words to call you Director Chu?"
Li Amin smiled and spoke, and he was still quite natural when he didn't talk about investment.
Chu Yian laughed and said:
"Director Li, you slapped me in the face, didn't you? In front of you, I am just a young man. You are a senior director in the director world, and I really dare not act rashly in front of you..."
Hearing Chu Yian's humility, Li Amin immediately felt relieved.
I'm afraid that after Chu Yian becomes popular, he will become rich and famous and become arrogant.
Then there is basically nothing to discuss.
Li Min has seen many such people, some of whom he personally helped to make famous. After becoming famous, they don't know who they are, and they don't take him, the director, seriously.
However, Chu Yian is different. This young man is really calm and composed...
Li Min watched the banquet end and most people had left. He stayed around waiting for the right time to speak:
"Xiao An, to be honest, our film may have to be postponed. I haven't found a suitable investment yet..."
"Actually, I like this script very much and I am confident that I can make it well. I have already negotiated with the actors."
"Chow Yun-fat from Hong Kong has agreed to star in the film and is even willing to lower his price, but you see... Alas..."
Seeing him like this, Chu Yian couldn't help but feel amused. As a director, Li Amin is naturally very good at making movies, but as an actor, his acting skills are a bit exaggerated and superficial...
At this moment, Chu Yian knew that he couldn't leave it alone, otherwise this big director would lose face.
He also knew that this movie would definitely make money, but the box office in the mainland was not enough.
But it is indeed a huge success in the international market!
So, he wants to invest in this movie!
However, he has conditions!
"Does Director Li want me to invest in this movie that I am involved in?"
