MTL - You Don’t Understand The Pain Of Being Popular-Chapter 142 The first forty-two days of the hit

◎In the studio. "Mr. Huang, you should have read the script. This part of the plot is rather boring, and there is nothing worth paying attention to."◎

In the studio.

"Mr. Huang, you should have read the script. This part of the plot is rather boring, and there is nothing worth paying attention to."

"As for the footage shot by the camera, it's probably like this, there's nothing eye-catching about it."

"This is our modeling model, which is very rough and completely unformed."

…

Mr. Huang was sitting in the studio, listening to Yao Bianliang's introduction, and looking at the movie screen recorded on the screen, with a little confusion in his eyes.

Other film producers, when funds are tight, are afraid that investors will look down on them, and will do their best to package their products.

Why came to Yao Bianliang's place, not only did not show the strengths of this project, but also talked about a lot of shortcomings?

Jiang Dongting and Fu Yandong were also standing beside them, both of them had bitter faces, watching Yao Bianliang explain all the shortcomings of this project, they wanted to cry but had no tears in their hearts.

The investment that finally fell from the sky, is it necessary to reject it like this?

20 million is indeed not a lot, but no matter how small a mosquito is, it is still meat.

Seeing Yao Bianliang's honest posture, Jiang Dongting's heart almost broke.

Finally, Yao Bianliang pressed the pause button, and in the scene without special effects, only a girl was left walking alone in the forest.

"Mr. Huang, as you can see, our film is still in the early stage of production, and all aspects of the project plan are not yet mature,"

"Also, we needed a lot of special effects—if the effects weren't up to scratch, the final effect would be terrible."

President Huang nodded slightly.

He had already inquired about these things before he came, and he knew it well.

But he didn't expect that Yao Bianliang not only didn't avoid the seriousness, but put the problem on the bright side for discussion.

Isn't this much better than those who only want to cheat investors' money?

Sure enough, Yao Bianliang deserved to be Yao Bianliang, as expected in the industry rumors, his character was beyond words.

That being the case, the subsequent cooperation should also be much easier.

Mr. Huang rubbed his hands: "It seems that we have a lot of room for cooperation. Mr. Yao, you are short of money and special effects, and we have money to invest. Isn't this just right?"

If it is another project, he may have to investigate more.

However, if it's Yao Bianliang's project, then why should we worry about it? Direct investment is over.

Anyway, from his debut to the present, Yao Bianliang has never had any unsuccessful projects under his control.

Yao Bianliang coughed dryly, a little helpless: "Mr. Huang, you probably don't understand what I mean. 20 million is not a small amount. I still hope that Mr. Huang can think carefully before deciding whether to invest."

President Huang: "..."

So, Yao Bianliang didn't intend to talk to him about the share of the investment after the investment, and didn't say anything else, so he refused right away?

He opened his mouth and scratched his head in confusion for a long while.

What does she mean by telling him not to invest?

He has invested in so many projects, and this is the first time he has met someone who pushes money out!

Yao Bianliang: "What we need is not a little money, but a lot of money."

"Let's not say it's 20 million, even if it's 200 million, it might not be enough to make special effects."

She paused, and said with a more serious tone: "I am very grateful to Mr. Huang for his optimism about our project, but Mr. Huang, I am afraid it will be difficult for you to fill such a big hole."

"If I take away the 20 million at this time, wouldn't it be cheating your money?"

When Jiang Dongting and Fu Yandong heard this, they were a little depressed at first, but it gradually disappeared at this time.

Jiang Dongting felt even more ashamed.

It was because he thought too selfishly and simply.

For their project, the funding gap is so big, if they can't fill in the follow-up, isn't it a scam of investors' money?

20 million, this is not a small amount - if it is a small studio, an investment of 20 million is enough to determine the life and death of the entire studio.

Even for a big boss like Mr. Huang, this is a huge sum of money.

It is indeed a happy event that investors are willing to invest. But before that, they should tell each other the risks.

Mr. Huang was lost in thought: "200 million..."

Seeing his frown, Yao Bianliang said while the iron was hot: "Mr. Huang, to tell you the truth, when I decided to make this movie, I made a good plan that the project might lose money."

"Of course I also hope to get this investment, but I can't cheat your money against my conscience and let you lose everything."

Mr. Huang completely understood.

The movie "Jiuzhou Mountains and Seas" is at least a few hundred million short of funding.

If the funds are insufficient, the final effect of the movie must not be ideal.

What Yao Bianliang meant was that unless he could take out hundreds of millions of funds at once to fill this hole, otherwise the 20 million invested would be like being thrown into a bottomless pit, meaningless.

"It turns out that the project funds are still so short." Mr. Huang also became entangled.

He originally thought that there was no shortage of funds for a billion-dollar project. But they didn't expect that they needed such a huge investment.

Hundreds of millions of dollars is definitely not something that a small studio like him can afford.

He believed that with Yao Bianliang's strength, he would definitely be able to spend hundreds of millions of dollars. No matter how bad it is, it is not impossible to get hundreds of millions of investment for her name.

When she said this, she obviously felt that 20 million was too little, and hoped that they would invest more money, preferably hundreds of millions at a time!

"Row…"

Mr. Huang paused, thought for a while, and finally said slowly: "I'll go back and discuss with other people about the investment."

He didn't believe that with the financial resources of Hudi Entertainment and Mo's Group, they couldn't even raise a few hundred million.

The reason why there is still a gap is probably because the funds have not yet been turned over.

That being the case, why did Yao Bianliang still say these things?

On the one hand, it was to tell him the risks of investing in this project; on the other hand, it also revealed another meaning—

If you want to invest, then bring a few hundred million, 20 million is too little.

However, with their company's financial resources, 20 million is already a very large investment.

As for two billion...

That is a fantasy at all, and it is impossible to realize it in this life.

So Mr. Huang pondered in his heart.

One of their studios can't handle it, so what about bringing in other people?

After working in this industry for so long, he knows quite a few people in the industry.

Everyone knows what kind of vision and strength Yao Bianliang possesses. She can even revive themes such as singing, dancing and movies in her hands, let alone the Classic of Mountains and Seas?

Moreover, after watching the movie, Mr. Huang deeply felt that the quality of the movie was better than expected.

There must be many investors who think the same as him, trying their best to invest in Yao Bianliang's movies.

Then, he only needs to be a matchmaker in the middle, and he may not be able to raise hundreds of millions of funds!

Thinking of this, Mr. Huang's heart settled down: "I'll contact you after we discuss the result."

Yao Bianliang didn't know anything about Mr. Huang's inner drama. Hearing this, the smile on her face deepened a lot: "It's good that Mr. Huang understands."

In her opinion, the meaning of Mr. Huang's words is obvious—

Go back and discuss with other people, which is obviously a euphemism for not intending to insist on investing!

Yao Bianliang deeply felt that Mr. Huang's decisive decision was very wise.

What is worth investing in her project that is destined to hit the street?

———

In the evening of that day, Mr. Huang left the forest with the helicopter.

And for the crew of "Jiuzhou Mountains and Seas", they ushered in a piece of good news—

There's finally a signal here!

Although the speed of the Internet is still very slow, it is no problem to make calls and send text messages.

"Fu Yandong, President Huang called me last night!"

Jiang Dongting opened the door curtain, looking radiant, completely opposite to the previous state of frowning.

Fu Yandong's eyes lit up: "Could it be... there is still something to be done with this investment?"

He originally thought that since Sister Liang had said so many shortcomings, this matter was probably obscene. Didn't expect there to be a sequel.

Jiang Dongting sighed softly: "I misunderstood, Sister Liang's intentions are far deeper than I thought."

"Boss Huang not only plans to add another 10 million investment, but also plans to help us match up and contact other investors!"

Jiang Dongting never expected that the "200 million yuan" proposed by Yao Bianliang not only did not make Mr. Huang retreat, but instead opened up new ideas for Mr. Huang.

Yes, helping them match up with other investors is equivalent to selling a favor to both sides. Not only that, but also promote your own investment.

With so many benefits, why not do it?

When Fu Yandong heard this, his eyes lit up.

But soon, he thought of something again: "If this is the case, maybe we still need to make some good-looking promotional videos."

It is a common method to use pilot promotional videos to attract investment.

Although many investors are willing to invest in Yao Bianliang's name, but if there is a promotional video as an assistant, everything will be smoother.

Jiang Dongting recalled it for a while, and finally said slowly: "The scene where the heroine first enters the world of mountains and seas seems to be suitable."

The film is still being filmed, and post-production has not kept up.

Therefore, the scene of entering the world of mountains and seas for the first time is the only relatively complete segment in the whole movie.

In the picture, the girl fell from the tree and strayed into this fantasy country.

As she ran all the way, the unknown world unfolded in front of her, and countless temptations and dangers followed one after another.

Dense jungles, unknown poisonous plants, strange animals with long white hair...

The special effects are not yet perfect, and the completion of this clip is only 50%.

"The content is good, but we can't introduce it in a straightforward manner." Fu Yandong rubbed his chin lightly with his fingers.

Whether it is a movie drama or a movie promotional film, if you only rely on special effects, it is impossible to achieve much success.

The producer can use money to create big scenes and good special effects, but such big scenes must be used wisely in order to make the audience have enough shock.

Where to use special effects and how to make special effects has become the top priority.

Jiang Dongting recalled several filming clips that had been filmed so far, frowning in thought.

"When I first entered the world of mountains and seas, it can indeed be used as the main content of the promotional film, but it is definitely not enough if it is described in a straightforward way."

"We can add some other things..."

"For example, in addition to color, people are more sensitive to light and dark, and we can increase the contrast between light and dark light; in terms of senses, in addition to vision and hearing, we can also add tactile and taste stimuli..."

The two quickly started a discussion.

The content of the pilot promotional film is gradually taking shape.

…

During the next period of time, Yao Bianliang worked hard to film, and surfed the Internet when he was free, living a fulfilling and comfortable life.

Mr. Huang, who came down from the sky with an investment of 20 million, left so decisively and simply, just like when he found him alone, as simply and neatly.

"Thanks to my prompt decision, I persuaded Mr. Huang to leave." Yao Bianliang was in a good mood while eating an apple and talking on his mobile phone.

If these investors backed out, she wouldn't be able to hold back any more!

As for Mr. Huang, after discussing with others, will he come back to invest again?

Don't even think about it, it's impossible.

Unless he can really bring hundreds of millions of funds, otherwise, anyone with a normal IQ will retreat in spite of the difficulties!

With a happy mood, Yao Bianliang clicked on Weibo, intending to check the latest news.

A popular search term caught her attention.

#Click to open the country style fantasy journey#

The entry is located outside the ten most searched positions, but the popularity has risen rapidly, and it is about to reach the top row.

"National Fantasy Tour? Sounds quite interesting." Yao Bianliang was interested and clicked on the link.
