If you invest too little, you will end up with a bad film.

Bad movies further reduce investment, making investment even less.

Today, 60 million is already a huge sum of money for Wanda.

Actually, we really can’t blame Wanda.

Just think about it, if it were you, who would you choose?

On the one hand, it is a sequel to an already well-received work, with a box office estimate of one billion in the industry.

On the other hand, it is a 24-year-old director's first hard-core science fiction-themed work, with an investment of more than 400 million.

There is absolutely no comparison between the two!

The former is obviously more potential, while the latter is just a money laundering project!

Of course, it goes without saying what the result will be.

After all, Wanda is not Ali.

Alibaba's Manager Sun can be said to be Peng Hui's biggest fan, and Ma's father also knows Peng Hui, a young and talented new director.

So Ali naturally followed Peng Hui's footsteps.

If Peng Hui hadn't been in the Rays before and Ali wasn't very easy on him, he might have poached people long ago.

Now that Peng Hui has established a personal studio, Alibaba naturally wants to take a stake.

However, Peng Hui refused because he just wanted to make a movie.

Strictly speaking, Peng Hui is a very pure director.

His experience has determined that he cannot be a shrewd businessman.

Therefore, he cannot play with the tricks of capital.

He was also worried about what he would do if he really became a slave to money.

Was I still myself at that time?

Although he loves money, he loves freedom even more.

I have to say that he is still too young.

For him, money plays less important role in life than fun and dreams are more real.

In the past, Peng Hui entered the entertainment industry just for fun.

Now, he has a half-baked dream.

He wants to be the king of movies!

People always have dreams, otherwise what's the difference between them and salted fish?

This line from Xingye's "The King of Comedy" has always been Peng Hui's favorite.

I heard that Xingye is going to film "The New King of Comedy" recently?

Are you looking forward to it very much?

It's just a pity that Master Xing can no longer appear in front of the camera.

He is already very old.

On the screen, it is already difficult to find roles that suit him.

That year's "Yangtze River No. 7" was the last work that Star Master stayed on the screen.

It's also sad.

If Wanda divests its investment, the one who is happiest must be Ning Hao.

Is there anything more satisfying than suddenly having a share of investment funds when you are just about to increase your investment?

No!

So Ning Hao happily went to discuss with Li Shanshan.

However, when I got there, I found that there was another person in the conference room.

Alibaba’s Manager Sun.

Ning Hao glanced at Li Shanshan.

"Director Ning, it's not that Peng Peng doesn't want to agree directly, but Manager Sun has also proposed an investment that we can't refuse," Li Shanshan said with a look of embarrassment.

Hard to refuse?

If Peng Hui were here, he would definitely praise the use of these four words so wonderfully.

It's not easy to refuse, that is, it's okay to refuse.

As long as you can increase your investment.

In fact, to be honest, although Ning Hao initially planned to increase investment, because he already had an investment of 10 million, he only planned to invest another 5 million this time.

But obviously, when faced with Alibaba's Manager Sun, who is jokingly called "Peng Hui's brain-deficient fan" in the industry, he seems a bit insignificant.

When Manager Sun saw Ning Hao, he heard that it was an investment. Why didn’t he know the reason?

However, Manager Sun didn't care, and instead smiled more sincerely: "Hello, Director Ning, Miss Li, I heard that Wanda has withdrawn its investment? In this way, Wanda will invest for the difference in price!"

"Manager Sun, 60 million is not a small number, right?" Ning Hao frowned.

The meaning behind the words is, don’t you need to ask what it means?

As far as he knows, Ali has already invested 100 million, and now he is investing another 60 million?

He is just a manager, not Father Ma's son. How can he have such rights?

"I don't have to worry about it now, Director Ning. It's only 60 million. If Peng Peng hadn't... Director Peng refused, Ali would have thought of investing 200 million." Manager Sun said nonchalantly.

Ning Hao's face turned ugly.

MD! Can you do whatever you want if you have money?

If Manager Sun heard this, he would definitely smile and say: "Yes, you can do whatever you want if you have money!"

Since the two of them are allowed to appear here together, it is natural that they will not fall out.

In the end, after negotiation, Alibaba invested 40 million and Ning Hao invested 20 million, which was considered a perfect takeover.

After Peng Hui heard about it, he went to express his gratitude to Manager Sun.

After all, forty million is not a small number, and it requires application. Manager Sun was able to invest in the first place, obviously under pressure.

This was a great favor, and Peng Hui even specially invited Manager Sun to dinner.

Surprisingly, what I ate was a barbecue on the roadside.

Northeastern big skewers are the kind with a pound of meat on a 30cm long bamboo stick.

Enjoyable!

"Brother Sun." Peng Hui toasted a glass of wine and said sincerely: "Thank you very much."

"Hey, what are you talking about? I also want to make money." Manager Sun smiled and took a sip.

The two of them were drinking liquor, and Peng Hui was blowing on the bottle, but he didn't dare.

"Thank you for that. I was still worrying about this money." Peng Hui said with emotion.

He was indeed worried.

In order to film this movie, he has staked all his wealth!

A total of only 200 million was obtained!

This also includes the post-production share of "Wolf Warrior 2" and his total salary of zero and zero over the years.

This money is all the money that constitutes the preliminary preparation stage of "The Wandering Earth"!

Later, Wanda invested 60 million, Bad Monkey 10 million, Mountain Contest 10 million, Alibaba invested 100 million, and China Film Group invested 100 million. This was how the entire crew was formed.

Now, as soon as Wanda raises funds, the budget suddenly becomes insufficient.

This is a heavy industry science fiction film. On the premise that the special effects are realistic and the actors are strong, the cost is naturally very huge!

Not to mention anything else, the daily rent for the chariot that appeared in the movie costs millions!

It’s not that Peng Hui didn’t want to use special effects, but that would look very fake, and it would also take a long time, so he could only use real cars!

The exoskeleton armors worn by the main actors are all custom-made, and a set costs several million!

Not to mention the rental of various equipment, the hiring of medical personnel, etc., all of which cost money!

Here, I have to thank China Film Group Corporation.

If it weren't for China Film Group's matchmaking, I'm afraid Peng Hui wouldn't be able to rent it.

The entire crew can really be said to have been made through hard work.

At this time, the impact of Wanda's divestment is huge.

First of all, Wanda itself has the largest number of theaters in the country. If entertainment companies invest in this aspect, the film schedule of that theater will definitely decrease.

In this day and age, it is a lie that the number of films scheduled directly determines the box office of a movie, but it will definitely have a huge impact on the box office of the movie itself!
