"Master Huan" "Hey, Old Chen" Yang Huan heard someone shouting, turned around, saw it was Chen Kexin, and immediately laughed.
Chen Kexin smiled bitterly, am I very old?
"Master Huan, thank you" Chen Kexin raised his glass and said sincerely.
Yang Huan also raised it and clanked with him, but did not drink.
He asked with a smile: "Why do you thank me?"
"Thank you for investing in my film partners."
Chen Kexin is not tall and has to raise his head slightly when talking to Yang Huan.
Therefore, Yang Huan had a clear view of his expression.
"I regard him as a vindication of his name."
It is obvious that after being hit by movies such as "The Letter of Nomination", "October Siege" and "Martial Arts", Chen Kexin finally found the courage to prove himself again.
He needs such a movie to adjust his mentality, so that he can be more devoted when filming the war epic of the Chinese Expeditionary Force, and then make this the most expensive movie in the history of Chinese movies to be the best.
"Don't thank me, thank Miss Zhang.
She supports you.
I believe in her and I believe in you."
Chen Kexin nodded, thanking you for your kindness, he understood Yang Huan didn't care too much about Chen Kexin's thoughts.
This was beyond his control.
He began to focus on the person next to Chen Kexin.
In addition to his girlfriend Wu Yunru, there is also a fat man who is always smiling.
"Wang Jing" "Hello, Mr.
Yang Huan" Wang Jing's fat face immediately burst into laughter.
"Hello, I like your movies very much" Yang Huan was honest.
Wang Jing was also a filmmaker he admired very much.
Unexpectedly, when Yang Huan mentioned this, Wang Jing smiled bitterly, "Don't mention it, I almost can't survive anymore."
"Why" Wu Yunru laughed from the side, "The great director who is known as the best at making commercial films in Hong Kong screwed up."
Wang Jing was obviously old friends with them, so he just laughed and didn't take it to heart.
On the contrary, it was Chen Kexin who immediately explained.
"He made money from TV series before, but he didn't make any money from movies for many years.
This time he made up his mind to do something big.
Even the name of the movie is Big Shanghai."
Yang Huan had seen this movie in his previous life, and it was released at the end of 2012.
Unfortunately, it was met with Thai Awkward and failed miserably at the box office.
This is interesting.
Taijiao invested his own money, so his own people must support it.
"It's okay, who can guarantee that every movie he makes will make money?"
Yang Huan was open-minded.
"Well, why don't you look for someone else for your next movie?
I'll vote for it."
Wang Jing was dumbfounded now, "Real or false?"
"I didn't say anything."
Yang Huan was also bold and agreed on the spot.
It feels like investing in a movie is like buying a toy that costs tens of dollars.
Wang Jing was also happy now and immediately took Yang Huan to have two drinks.
As soon as we talked about the movie, this guy got really excited and even a little bit unable to hold it in.
"Actually, Master Huan, your movie about the Chinese Expeditionary Force has a good theme, is not difficult to review, and has a strong story, but it is just not suitable for Lao Chen.
He is not good at making this kind of movie."

Chen Kexin was a little embarrassed when Wang Jing said this, but he didn't object.
"Old Chen's filming of Mingzhuang and the October Siege somewhat caters to the wishes of investors, but he is not good at this type of commercial film.
What he is good at is sentimental, sweet and commercial films, especially war films.
He Can’t control it.”
Wang Jing is Chen Kexin's predecessor and is also the Hong Kong director who is said to be the best at making commercial films.
He must have a reason for saying this, but Yang Huan also has his own considerations.
"I know it too, but this time when I was filming the Chinese Expeditionary Force, the theme I focused on was feelings."
After all, Wang Jing is a smart person, and he can tell at a glance.
"You mean, reflect on the war" Having said this, Wang Jing couldn't help but sigh and said with a smile: "Young Master Huan, your ambition is not small."
"What do you think?"
Yang Huan asked.
When it comes to understanding of movies, Yang Huan cannot catch up with Wang Jing even in filming.
"Master Huan, there are some things I don't know if I can say."
Yang Huan was stunned, smiled and nodded: "Of course I can."
Wang Jing looked at Chen Kexin again, who nodded.
After several contacts with Master Huan, Chen Kexin still understands Yang Huan's personality very well.
Yang Huan is very open-minded to accept other people's opinions and suggestions on things he doesn't understand.
"Actually, 33 Days of Love is not as good as the box office shows.
In my opinion, the main reason why this movie was able to sell well in Asia and the box office in North America is pretty good is because of its stars. of appeal.”
Yang Huan couldn't help but nodded after hearing this.
Fatty Wang’s words hit the nail on the head.
"At its core, this movie still tells the story of us Chinese people and the story of the capital city, so it has a high box office in China.
In Asia, especially East Asia and Southeast Asia, the cultures are very close and it has star appeal, so the box office is also high. ” "But in regions such as Europe and North America, the box office is much lower, and we can only rely on Lin Yoona to support it."
Yang Huan still agrees with this statement because it is very similar to the market survey results conducted by Miracle Entertainment.
It can be seen that Fatty Wang is very capable.
"If making a movie is telling a story, then if you want this story to go abroad and be accepted by people all over the world, then you have to raise the horizon of the story from the Chinese people and tell the story of all mankind."
"A Hamlet-like story was filmed as The Banquet in China.
This is a dark story that even the Chinese can't stand.
But in Hollywood, it was filmed as The Lion King, which is loved by most people in the world. , a positive and sunny story, this is the difference in storytelling level.”
Yang Huan couldn't help but nodded.
Fatty Wang's words really touched his heart.
He has been wondering what is the biggest difference between Chinese movies and American movies.
When it comes to the so-called film industry, today is an era of globalization.
If you can’t make it yourself, you can’t just ask someone else to do it.
We are a big China and we have nothing else but a lot of money.
Now that Fatty Wang said this, Yang Huan felt suddenly enlightened.
The vision of storytelling is truly something you can’t buy no matter how much money you have.
"It's actually easy to realize this, but difficult to do it," Wang Jing said with a sigh.
"Why?"
Yang Huan was confused.
Yes, since you realize this, there must be many filmmakers who also realize this.
Why doesn't anyone do it?
“Censorship is like a sword of Damocles hanging over our heads, but this is not the most terrifying thing.
What is really scary is that the censorship pressure piles up layer by layer.
In the end, it turns into self-censorship, and investors instead It became the biggest hurdle.”

"Investor" Yang Huan was surprised.
"Yes, investors, because making a movie is a commercial activity, and the purpose of investors is to make money.
If the movie is made and cannot be released because it cannot pass the censorship, then the investors will suffer a big loss, so before it is submitted for review, Often investors will self-censor and delete some controversial points that may cause sensitivity.
As a result, before it is submitted for review, the entire film has been changed beyond recognition and turned into a big bad movie. " Yang Huan finally understood everything.
It turns out that this is how some big bad movies come about.
No wonder many commercial movies that look like big productions are so bad.
After all, how many people who invest in movies understand movies?
It is up to the investors to decide on deletions, and the results can be imagined.
Looking at it from another perspective, when Yang Huan invested in Deng Huatao's filming of 33 Days of Love, he also gave him some conditions, such as placing advertisements, placing Lin Yoona and Uncle Psy, etc.
This is already considered enlightened.
If you encounter some controlling investors who don’t know how to pretend to understand, it will be a disaster.
After all, censorship exists all over the world, but the domestic film market is not standardized, which causes various problems.
And it would be inappropriate to blame all the problems on investors.
Because investors definitely want to make money, right?
"I see" Yang Huan couldn't help but nod.
Fatty Wang's words made him see through a layer of fog.
"Don't worry, Lao Chen.
As for you, just focus on making a good movie.
Write a good script and expand your horizons.
We want to make a story about all mankind.
As for the box office pressure, don't worry about it.
As for the censorship, it's not a big deal.
It will be up to me then.”
"In short, you can make this movie however you want."
Yang Huan's words not only stunned Chen Kexin, but Wang Jing was also stunned.
That's several hundred million.
Although it's RMB, you can just throw it around like this.
Is it possible that this young master Huan doesn’t care about money at all?
If he knew that Master Huan made 100 million a day, he would understand why he wouldn't feel bad.
Now that everything has been revealed, Chen Kexin has nothing to hide.
"Then I think we can hire an assistant director in the United States to help.
He is the best at war-themed films in Hollywood."
"Okay, you make up your mind."
Yang Huan nodded in agreement without hesitation.
He didn't even ask about money.
Because Yang Huan has always believed that there are specialties in the art industry, and if he is not good at it, he should leave it to those who are good at it.
"By the way, are you familiar with Xu Ke?"
"Old Monster Xu" Wang Jing immediately laughed.
Chen Kexin couldn't help but smile.
They are both Hong Kong filmmakers, how could they not be familiar with them?
"Could it be that you are planning to invite Mr.
Xu to take pictures of ghosts and blow out lanterns?"
Yang Huan had to sigh, Wang Jing was really smart, he could tell at a glance.
Indeed, he did plan to ask Old Monster Xu to take pictures of ghosts and blow out lanterns.
"The oriental fantasy theme of Ghost Blowing the Lantern is indeed very good, and it is also the most promising route to internationalization, because there are no big value barriers, and at the same time it can promote Chinese traditional culture, which has great potential."

Yang Huan felt the same way.
"I think among the many Chinese directors, Mr.
Xu is the one who can best exhale that smell."
Wang Jing also agreed with Yang Huan's point of view.
"A ghost, a monster, it's strange if they don't match each other" After Yang Huan heard it, he thought it rhymed quite a bit and couldn't help laughing.
"I just saw Old Monster Xu over there.
I gave him a call and asked him to come over."
Chen Kexin said with a smile.
Wang Jing also nodded and said: "I met Mr.
Xu before and told him about this.
He was also very interested.
However, he has been preparing for another movie recently, which seems to be about outsmarting the mighty tiger.
Mountain."
"Really?"
Yang Huan was stunned for a moment, and then he was filled with surprise.
This was a movie that he had been looking forward to since before he traveled through time in 2014.
Unexpectedly, Old Monster Xu would start planning it now.
"Okay, you find him and tell him, I'll invest in him to make the movie "Outsmarting Tiger Mountain" This time Wang Jing was not so shocked.
He was just stunned for a moment.
Then he looked at Chen Kexin.
Both of them understood it tacitly.
Cast for another movie It's great for rich people.
They just invest when they want, without blinking an eye.
Yang Huan took advantage of Chen Kexin's call to Xu Ke and chatted with Wang Jing about the preparations for the Chinese Expeditionary Force.
Wang Jing also agreed and would definitely provide Chen Kexin with advice and assistance on business elements.
Needless to say, this Fatty Wang is full of movie scenes.
From domestic to foreign countries, he knows almost every movie he knows.
When it came to filming the Chinese Expeditionary Force, he immediately came up with several very wonderful scenes, which made Yang Huan full of praise.
He is truly the director who is best at making commercial films in Hong Kong.
Just as the two were chatting enthusiastically, someone passed by them and cursed angrily
