Chapter 136: Consideration
The meeting ended at 11 a.m.
As everyone gradually left, Fang Bo came to Chen Zhuo's office.
"Director Fang, sit there casually."
After the two entered the office, Chen Zhuo went to the coffee table and started working. It seemed that he was planning to make water and make tea.
I have known each other for so long, Fang Bo is not restrained. He walked to the hospitality area and sat down on the sofa chair.
"Director Fang, this is the tea I asked my friend to buy a few days ago. Come and have a drink."
After a while, Chen Zhuo made a pot of tea and poured a cup of Fang Bo.
"Uh." Fang Bo didn't understand the tea, so he took a sip, but didn't think of how to praise it, so he could only simply say "It's delicious".
After tasting the tea, the two talked about the schedule dispute just now, and Fang Bo also expressed his gratitude to Chen Zhuo.
If Chen Zhuo did not support him, although only a few people would object, it would be difficult to settle the matter for a while.
Chen Zhuo smiled and said, "What's the thank you for this? We're all for the movie."
Huarui Film and Television invested 80 million in "Mars Rescue", which is not a small amount in any case. This is even more true for film and television companies of a size like Huarui.
Therefore, Chen Zhuo, who is strongly committed to investment, actually bears a lot of pressure. Now he chooses to be released on the National Day holiday, so the pressure is naturally even heavier.
However, his personality, to put it nicely, to be bold, to put it badly, to be gambling, and to adhere to the idea of "do not doubt people, but not doubt people."
Therefore, since Fang Bo is so optimistic about "Mars Rescue", he is willing to take a gamble, just bet that this movie can shine in the fiercely competitive National Day holiday!
Isn’t it just 80 million, it’s overwhelming!
But he was not a random bet, otherwise he would have paid Huarui Film and Television a long time ago.
First, he believed in Fang Bo's ability, and second, 80 million is still within his tolerance. Hua Rui just made a big profit from "A Good Show". Even if he lost 80 million, he would not be hurt.
Anyway, the money is earned through "A Good Show". If you lose, you will be able to get back to its original state. If you win, Huarui will really gain a foothold in the field of film and television production.
Fang Bo didn't know Chen Zhuo's plan, but was thinking about other things in his mind.
"Mars Rescue" is scheduled to be released in October next year, and it will be more than half a year left!
Other post-production work of the movie is very simple, and only the special effects are the most time-consuming to produce.
After telling the special effects company the detailed requirements, Fang Bo, the production of the special effects lens, could no longer get involved and could only check the final product.
In other words, in the past six months, he actually had nothing else to do except check the progress of the special effects and check the completed shots from time to time.
Half a year!
How many six months can a person have in his life? How can he waste his time?
Although Fang Bo is young, perhaps because of time travel, he realized the preciousness of time early and inherited his parents' unrestrained personality.
So he remembered the script that was unknown to outsiders again.
It was a fresh romance film, and it was easy to prepare, shoot and post-production.
It is still half a year before "Salvation of Mars" is released. As long as you hurry up, it is more than enough to complete this movie in terms of time.
perhaps……
"Director Fang? Director Fang?" Seeing that Fang Bo suddenly became quiet and looked thoughtful, Chen Zhuo spoke in confusion.
"Ah? Oh." Fang Bo then came back to his senses from his thoughts and said with a smile: "Mr. Chen, sorry, I'm distracted."
Chen Zhuo picked up the teapot, replenished water into Fang Bo's tea cup, and asked casually: "Director Fang, what are you thinking about when you are so focused just now?"
Fang Bo pondered for a moment, finally made up his mind and said, "It's about the new movie."
"New movie?" Chen Zhuo's hand pouring tea stopped in the air. At first he thought he was talking about "Martian Rescue", but there was another word "new", and he couldn't help but wonder.
"Yes." Fang Bo nodded seriously and gave an affirmative answer.
The guess in his heart was confirmed. Chen Zhuo's expression was strange for a moment, and he slowly withdrew his hand holding the teapot and said in surprise: "Director Fang, "Martian Rescue" was just finished a few days ago. Do you have the idea of a new movie so soon?!"
"Mars Rescue" was completed on November 26, and it is only December 2, and it is only 5 days apart in total.
Although the script may have been written in a lot of money, and I have only been written until now, the problem is that you have accumulated too much, right?
Starting from last year's "Night Shop", then "A Good Show" and "Salvation of Mars", plus this new movie, these are 4 movies!
It’s hard to say how good the new movie will be, but the first three movies can be regarded as excellent works.
You know, as a director, there are many people who write scripts by themselves, but few of them can write several excellent works in a row.
What's more, Fang Bo is still so young, he is only 25 years old this year. This is really a scorpion poop, the only one!
Fang Bo explained: "Actually, I have written this script a long time ago. I have been busy with the matter of "Martian Rescue" and have not taken it out."
"Now "Salvation of Mars" has entered the post-production stage, and there is a relatively long gap before it is released. I want to take advantage of this time to make this movie."
Upon hearing this, Chen Zhuo said, "Since there is a suitable script, then Director Fang, you can shoot it if you want. I have no objection to this, just."
Fang Bo guessed what he was worried about and said, "Don't worry, Mr. Chen, I will not delay the post-production of "Mars Rescue", and the two projects will be promoted simultaneously. After all, "Mars Rescue" only needs to receive special effects shots on time, and I am completely busy."
"It seems that you have thought it through, Director Fang." Chen Zhuo nodded, thought for a while, and asked again: "Since that's the case, I don't know if this movie still has an investment share. If it is appropriate, Huarui may be able to contribute."
Although the previous cooperation between the two sides was very smooth, the project "Mars Rescue" was not over yet, so Chen Zhuo said it more cautiously and just mentioned it tentatively.
His current mentality is a little contradictory. He neither wants to miss a potential high-quality movie, nor is he worried that if the gap is too big, Huarui has already spent 80 million on "Mars Rescue". It is impossible for Fang Bo to spend too much money in a short period of time, otherwise there will be great resistance in the company.
Fang Bo showed a faint smile on his face and said, "This is a romance film, or a campus youth film. If it is not considered the promotional cost, 15 million is enough to complete the production, and the investment scale should not be large."
Chen Zhuo nodded slightly to agree.
Today is different from the past. Last year's "Night Store" was not even invested in 400,000 yuan, forcing Fang Bo to raise funds to shoot it.
But with his current achievements and a production cost of 15 million, the investment scale is indeed not large, and it even seems too small.
Chapter completed!
