"You just mentioned Mummy 3?"

Chen Mengxi nodded: "Mummy 3" is a malicious film. The Western tricks are always the same. The ancestors of the Chinese people and their faith becomes evil villains. Whites need to kill him and save the world. Whites are heroes and saviors!"

"This is just an entertainment movie, there is no need to exaggerate it..."

"More than 100 countries around the world are released... I tell you, many people in Europe think that Chinese people are still wearing braids!"

Meng Xiaojing refused to comment: "So, do you want to change it yourself?"

"Yes, of course, the white character cannot be deleted, otherwise it would not be a co-production between China and the United States. He turned his setting from a savior to a bystander, and was infected by the Chinese military and civilians who were determined to fight against monsters, and finally joined in..."

After a pause, he explained: "Hollywood does not understand the concept of people's soldiers. In their opinion, the army is just a cold tool of violence. This is a story I am watching a Canadian documentary "They Choose China", which details the story of 21 American prisoners of war and one British prisoner of war staying in socialist China during the War to Resist U.S. Aggression and Aid Korea during the period of the Korean War. "

"I just thought, since I want to film "The Great Wall", I can't simply copy the American main theme. You have to add the most distinctive things in China!"

"A pure popcorn movie doesn't require me to be the director myself..."

"So, what you imagine is the core of the Great Wall?"

"No, I have always said that the core of the movie is the characters and emotions we want to express, so no matter what type it is, its core is the characters and emotions. The type is the clothes everyone wears. Whether it is a romance film, youth film, or science fiction film, there are only different clothes, but the core part of it is established. The core of "The Great Wall", why should a foreign tourist help you fight monsters together? This storyline must be explained clearly!"

“Are you worried about the box office failure of eighty million dollars in production costs?”

"Of course I'm worried, so I have to do it myself, and I'm even more worried about others doing it!"

After a pause, Chen Mengxi added: "But after the filming of this movie, including the two plots of "Walking with Gods", I can say that we have contributed more than 8,000 special effects staff to Chinese films... Tang Ren is on the market, and we always have to do something to feedback to the Chinese film industry. If we don't do this, who will do it?"

...

This interview was not revealed by a bunch of people until two years later, and then it sparked a lot of discussion...

I won't mention it for the time being.

After finishing the interview, Chen Mengxi loosened the buttons on the collar of the suit. He just had to wear formal clothes, and the buttons on the collar were a little tight.

The assistant poured him a glass of water: "Mr. Chen, the Beijing Film Festival has signed three projects. Do you want to check it out?"

"I'll take a look..."

I took the documents handed over by my assistant, opened them and looked at them, "The Grandson Comes From America", "The Children Who Study" and "The Return of the Great Sage"!

Except for "The Return of the Great Sage", I have never watched the other two movies...

However, the investment in these two movies is very low, one is 2.2 million yuan, and the other is 1.8 million yuan...

“These two are recommended projects by the movie channel…”

"Okay, I understand..."

With the support of the movie channel, it is probably not difficult to recover this investment.

The probability of a hit product is not high, otherwise Chen Mengxi would definitely know!

"The Return of the Great Sage is an animated movie... Last month, you said at a meeting that you should invest in some animated movies..."

"Yes, I have approved all three projects... You can go ahead first!"

"Um."

The secretary is a man named Lu Xiaoran, who is very meticulous in his work, and Chen Mengxi is quite satisfied with him.

When you open the story summary of "The Grandson Comes From the United States", it is really the cultural difference between the old Chinese man and the American child from the United States. It is plain, but also quite interesting, and it feels like the Korean movie "Love Home".

"Children Who Study", the issue of left-behind children and children of migrant workers going to school...

Movies from this angle are bound to be difficult to sell.

But as long as the filming is OK, the reputation will not be too bad!

Finally, "The Return of the Great Sage", good guy, the script has not been finished yet...

It will probably take at least five years to follow!

In the original time and space, "The Return of the Great Sage" is said to have been preparing for 8 years and produced for 3 years, and it has spent more than 60 million in total.

The investors have 11 companies in order to share risks. Light Media once followed for three years, but was so scared that it was abandoned.

Chen Mengxi cannot abandon the pit, just follow him. He doesn’t understand the animation movies, so he will understand them slowly in the future!

I was sitting looking through the documents, and someone knocked on the door...

...

Yang Xiaomi and Tang Yan came together.

"Sit...drink tea or coffee?"

Chen Mengxi asked her assistant to pour a cup of tea for them each, and then asked the reason...

He really didn't know that Tang Yan was defeated.

"I know that the project "Four Famous Captains" is the first series created by Light. Light also needs the kind of box office stable, one movie a year, a bag, and a sale after shooting. As long as the cost is controlled, this theme can still ensure profitability... The first movie is the first to open the series, and the investment must be higher, so there must be risks. Therefore, Jiang Yiyan led the funding team, and the producers are certainly willing to accept it. It is the same as our "Source Code" and "Great Wall" that use big sweets!"

"You don't have to be too sad. If you lose it, you may have better projects waiting for you!"

Chen Mengxi comforted Tang Yan.

Yang Xiaomi was very resentful: "That's the way Tangtang was cut off by the slaughter?"

Tang Yan secretly glanced at Chen Mengxi, who said helplessly: "What else can I do?"

Yes, no matter how capable Chen Mengxi is, this project has nothing to do with him, and he can't get involved!

Yang Xiaomi confirmed again: "Do you really think "The Four Famous Captains" have made a profit?"

"If the first one is successful, the last two are sure to make a profit..."

"What if we get involved in the investment?"

"you?"

"Yes, my studio also has Lion Molasses Media..."

"What's the matter?"

“I said I want to invest…”

Chen Mengxi waved his hand: "I just heard the name of a company. Do you say it again?"

Yang Xiaomi replied proudly: "Silu Molecular Media, I established it with Tangtang and Shishi!"

Chen Mengxi gave a thumbs up: "Name genius!"

It's not a joke. This media company was created by them in three groups...

"Then what would the Light say if we intervene in the investment?"

"Intervention?" Chen Mengxi blinked his eyes: "You want to invest in this movie?"

"right!"

"Why should Light promise you to invest? Also, do you have that much money when playing with the funding group? Investing in such a project without eight-figure funds, people ignore you!"

Yang Xiaomi is very confident: "Since they agree to Jiang Yiyan's investment, it is probably not a problem for us to invest... As for money, we don't have that much for the time being..."

"That's a big deal!"

“…I heard that you cashed out Huayi’s stock a few days ago?”

"What's wrong with improving life?"

Chen Mengxi did get rid of the trap a little, reducing his shares from 3.47% to 1.2%. As for the money, he used it to invest in Meituan...

"Can you lend us?"

Seeing Chen Mengxi being shocked, Yang Xiaomi quickly said, "We can pay interest!"
