"Mr. Chen, because the cost of promotion and distribution needs to be considered, I have not yet figured out how much investment this movie will require."

"But no matter how much it is, I plan to invest half of it myself. As for the remaining half, if Mr. Chen is interested, you might as well read the script first before making a decision."

As he said that, Fang Bo opened the backpack he carried with him and took out his laptop from it.

Before coming, he hadn't figured out whether to make this movie next, so he didn't even print out the script and could only read the computer document for Chen Zhuo.

Seeing this, Chen Zhuo raised his eyebrows.

No wonder I haven't considered the investment amount yet and didn't even have a paper script. It's a temporary idea.

When he put his laptop on the desk and clicked on a desktop document in Fang Bo, Chen Zhuo noticed that the name of the document was "First Love".

First love is a trivial matter?

Is it the name of this movie?

This name does look like a youth romance movie.

Before reading the script, Chen Zhuo had already had an intention to invest.

"A Good Show" has nearly 1.3 billion yuan in total box office. If this movie is over 100 million yuan, he might have to think about it more, but the cost is tens of millions, so he still has to think about it. Of course, he has to invest.

With this idea in mind, he even began to plan the promotion and distribution funds for the movie.

The production cost of 15 million is too low. Even if it is 1:1 in the promotion and distribution, it is just enough to spread the publicity. It may be better to mention 20 million.

With the success of two movies, and the title of "the youngest 1 billion box office director", Fang Bo's box office appeal has begun to emerge, and 20 million promotions are not much.

At the beginning, Chen Zhuo was distracted like this, looking at the script while thinking about investment.

But as he watched, he gradually became serious.

Like the name of the movie, "First Love" talks about first love, but unlike ordinary youth films, the first love in the movie is not a bit pretentious or whining, only freshness and touching.

The heroine is an ordinary girl with her family background, appearance, academic studies, etc. She plays with her best friends every day, which is so ordinary that people forget it when they see it.

But such an ordinary girl fell in love with the most popular figures in the school.

The male protagonist is handsome, has excellent grades, and is good at football and photography. No matter how you look at it, there is a huge gap between the two.

But the heroine did not give up on herself. In order to get closer to the hero, with the encouragement of her best friends, she began to work hard to change her better self.

This is the biggest difference between "The Little Things of First Love" and ordinary youth films. The heroine changes herself and uses her efforts to complete the transformation from an ugly duckling to a white swan, so that she can be worthy of the person she likes.

In addition, there are many nostalgic campus stories in the movie, which makes people laugh after watching.

Although Chen Zhuo is now the company's president, who has not yet had a youthful stage?

He once had an unforgettable past on campus, and he still remembered that girl...

Ahem, I'm going to go far.

In short, after reading the script, Chen Zhuo's idea of ​​investing became stronger.

"Director Fang, tell me how to count it. I've cast this movie!"

The scale of investment of tens of millions is indeed not large, and Huarui and Fang Bo are enough to eat, so there is no need to find other investors.

Finally, the two sides discussed preliminary and decided to be more affordable, setting the production cost and promotional cost to 20 million, totaling 40 million, and each party paid half of it to collect all the investment.

[To be honest, I have been using wild fruit reading to read books and follow updates recently, changing sources and switching, and pronunciation aloud for many tones, www. Android and Apple are available.]

To be honest, even if you don’t look for Huarui Film and Television, Fang Bo can afford 40 million himself.

During this period, the foreign box office share and other income of "A Good Show" have been received one after another, and the money in his bank account is close to 60 million.

It’s not impossible for him to spend all the 40 million yuan by himself. It’s just that he has multiple friends and multiple ways to make Huarui Film and Television invest in some way, so that Huarui will work harder in publicity and distribution.

...

Although he was sure to film "The Little Things of First Love", Fang Bo was not in a hurry. After all, Jiang Can, Feng Shuming and other crew members have been busy for several months, and they didn't even have a rest during the Mid-Autumn Festival and National Day.

After finally finishing filming "Mars Rescue", I turned around and immediately pulled them to the crew of "First Love", which seemed a bit bad.

So Fang Bo just told the news to the crew members, but did not immediately gather the people. Instead, he gave them half a month off and the preparations would officially begin half a month later.

Everyone else was on holiday, but Fang Bo didn't rest. He took advantage of this time to do all the later stages of "Martian Rescue".

Of course, the special effects lens has not been completed, most of the later work cannot be carried out, and there is actually not much that can be done, so I was done quickly.

Then Fang Bo went home and rested at home for a few days.

...

After that, in late December, the project was officially launched and preliminary preparations began.

In terms of actor selection, Fang Bo asked Li Hao to be the male lead, while the female lead went to audition for major film and television academies, and finally found a suitable young actress.

Even though he had not graduated from school, the actress's acting skills were certain, but it was okay. "First Love" is a fresh youth film. The most outstanding and important thing about the heroine is the girl's first love feeling.

When you are in your teens, you are in a teenager and you may confess your love or be careful of your crush. Who has never had a person you love in the green years of your campus?

So as long as the actors can feel this way, it is perfect. As for the immaturity of acting, it is just a little problem, and Fang Bo will naturally guide him during the filming.

A youth film does not have to be as complicated as "Mars Rescue", and it is not difficult to prepare.

After New Year's Day, it was the end of January 2016. The crew of "First Love" was ready and finally started filming.

At the beginning, the female lead had a lot of small problems and could not grasp the details of the performance. However, Fang Bo was experienced in guiding the actors and gave advice from time to time. The female lead was able to calm down and learn, and the progress was obvious to all, and the filming gradually got on the right track.

The sun and the moon are flying, and time passes day by day, and the shooting process will be smooth. In the middle, it was only a few days after the New Year holiday, and then it was all the way to the day of completion.

It was just the end of April. After some discussion between Fang Bo and Chen Zhuo, the schedule of "First Love" was finally set for this year's summer schedule.

After setting the schedule, Fang Bo buried his head in the late stages of "First Love" and "Martian Rescue". He took into account both sides at the same time. He was indeed a bit busy, but he was still busy.

After the work, the internal movie meeting will be submitted for review and promotion...

After all the experiences, in mid-July, "The Little Things of First Love" was released in the expectation of many viewers.

Unlike the most pretentious youth films, the style of "First Love" is a fresh and refreshing lotus-like content, and there are no bloody and vulgar scenes such as car accidents, terminal illnesses, early pregnancy, etc. The heroine completes her transformation through continuous efforts and becomes a better self.

Who has never been young? Such a movie has a wide audience. Not only are it loved by young boys and girls in their youth, but even their parents and office workers in the workplace who miss the lost youth.

After the movie was released, it won nearly 1.8 billion yuan in the domestic box office, and the foreign box office also reached 1.6 billion yuan, totaling 3.4 billion yuan!

Fang Bo achieved this achievement at the age of 26, undoubtedly setting another record.

After "First Love" was released, taking advantage of this momentum, Huarui Film and Television launched a large-scale publicity for "Salvation of Mars".

At the same time, Huanyu Film and Television is not willing to be lonely and announced that "The Battle Against Time" will be scheduled for National Day.

After "First Love", no one dares to underestimate Fang Bo anymore. The strong showdown between the two science fiction blockbusters has made this year's National Day particularly lively.

It was finally time to wait until October. After the two movies were promoted for a long time, they finally arrived at the release moment. Countless movie fans couldn't wait to enter the theater to see the true appearance.

But no one expected that "Battle Against Time", which had been highly anticipated before, would be so bad.

The story is about alien invasion, the male protagonist travels through time to save Lan Xing, and there is also a scene of the male and female protagonist falling in love, but the young actor Gu Tao and mature actress Yan Yuxuan, the acting skills of the two are completely different. The scenes they appear together can be seen inconsistently.

However, director Wu Shaolin has indeed made some achievements in becoming famous for so many years, and is not as famous as his son Wu Xiaofei.

In addition to Gu Tao's acting skills, "The Battle Against Time" is very good in terms of special effects and plot. If you are in normal times, you can make a difference.

But I’m afraid of comparison in everything. Compared with "Battle of Anti-Time", "Salvation of Mars" has much less problems. The actors, special effects, and plot are very outstanding. In addition, there are also a group of scientific experts as consultants. Bigg from "Salvation of Mars" suddenly went up.

The audience's eyes are sharp, and they can tell which one of the two movies is good or bad at first glance. So once it was released, the reputation of both sides showed completely different trends.

In the end, "Mars Rescue" won 2.8 billion domestic box office, while "Battle Against Time" was less than 1 billion, and the gap was very obvious.

Not only that, the science fiction movies that the foreigners like to watch the most are the science fiction movies. After "Salvation of Mars" was released abroad, the results were also astonishing, and it earned nearly 3 billion foreign box offices.

In this way, the total box office of "Mars Rescue" reached as much as 5.8 billion!

"Night Shop", "A Good Show", "First Love" and "Salleled Mars Rescue", in just 3 years, the cumulative box office of just 4 movies exceeded 10 billion, and Fang Bo's reputation has also increased rapidly, and no one can compare with young directors!

Instead of stopping, he kept moving forward, exercising his abilities through filming, and tried more film themes, suspense, thriller, action, etc., and he achieved success repeatedly, and was unable to say that he had failed.

Later, he was no longer limited to the commercial film field, and even made many art films, and won a lot of awards at various domestic and foreign awards.

In the blink of an eye, more than ten years have passed. Fang Bo has produced every year. The success of more than ten consecutive movies has allowed him to surpass Zhou Hongze at the age of less than 40 and become the best director in the film industry!
