In order to film "The Real Man", which is "Sedek Barre", Wei Desheng started to make plans 16 years ago. During this period, he kept writing scripts, drawing footage, shooting samples, and looking for investment, but he was repeatedly ridiculed and hit walls everywhere.

I'd just film "Cape Seven" first...

"Cape Seven" has a big box office hit, and coupled with copyright income, Wei Desheng became a billionaire and earned NT$150 million.

Before the money was heated up, Wei Desheng threw it all into the filming of the movie "Sedek Barre", and was still heavily in debt for it...

We all know this!

When the original time and space "Seedekbale" was promoted, the whole article revolved around the word "money".

If you can’t get investment, you can only borrow it!

Wei Desheng claims to be the thickest director in the history of Taiwanese films. He has been shooting for more than ten months and has almost never stopped borrowing money in one day.

When I shoot movies during the day, I borrow money at night; when I shoot movies at night, I borrow money during the day. Regardless of whether I know you or not, I will call you first. So later, the Taiwanese business community banned Wei Desheng and hung up the phone when I heard this name...

Lao Zhao was very moved when he heard this...

What a great story, a director is running around for his ideals...

I feel like this story will be a big hit when filmed!

"We raised a total of NT$700 million..."

Lao Zhao looked at the assistant, and the assistant calculated: "About 150 million yuan!"

“That’s very high…”

150 million, even if the drama Mengxi is doing now, the production cost of 150 million is considered a big investment!

We must investigate the market before investing in production.

"Why can't you have high investment in making movies?"

Just as Shen Mengxi came in, and when she heard this, she asked directly: "But this money is not yours, why do you use other people's money to fulfill your dream?"

"But if I don't shoot, I won't have a chance..."

"Movies are not as important as you think..."

Shen Mengxi waved her hand: "Producer Zhang, Director Wu, we won't accept the release of "Sedeke Barre"..."

Why?

"Sedekbale" is on the surface a story of the indigenous people resisting aggression, with its original wildness, which makes people feel so happy to watch!

Actually, it's very crooked...

You see that movie, and you have created a group of cute and cute Takayama policemen, elegant governors, poor Japanese victims, and gentle husbands who spent a lot of shots to create the island of the upright police.

In a movie with the real record of national resistance, a group of invaders describes this way, which causes the real contradictions of the indigenous people to initiate the Mushe incident, and almost all of the contradictions are reflected in the indigenous people's disobedience to seek true freedom. What does this movie that contains private goods throughout the whole story without fairness and objective convey?

Has the tragic heroic image of the Aboriginal people created?

No, I only saw the beautification of the invaders, because the initiator of the battle in the whole film was indigenous people. From the time of killing the expedition team, the invaders' offense was more like revenge, and they became famous without realizing it!

The technique is so delicate and natural that people can't help but feel unconsciously pursuing the Japanese. This is at least a boss in the pyramid scheme organization!

There are people like this, and some people brag about it: milestone figures in the history of film...

Have you seen "The Last Mohigan", "Dancing with the Wolves", "History of the West", and "Destruction/Revelation"?

Wu Yusen looked at Lao Zhao who was wiping his tears, and the latter said nothing...

Zhang Jiazhen said: "Mr. Chen, Cai Lan asked Run Run Shaw back then, we made forty money-making movies. How about the 41st film that doesn't make money? Run Run Shaw said that the 41st film is better to make money. Cai Lan smiled bitterly, and then Shaw went bankrupt..."

"Yes, we can also shoot movies that are not profitable, provided that I like them!"

Chen Mengxi waved his hand: "I don't like "Sedekbale"!"

...

When a person matures, he truly realizes that he is not at the center of the universe.

Use your ideals to fool others less.

Like Wei Desheng, he repeatedly uses so-called idealism to test investors' patience. Without analysis, he knows that he is the kind of creator who cares about his reputation more than he is responsible for investors!

There are always some rules in every industry. If it is not good, as a funder, you must see that the invested people are really responsible for them, at least their money.

Some people say that the capital market is not the head of this world! There is no need for everyone with independent will to bow to the capital market. The capital market will turn as if it is you or not.

That's right!

Then use your own money to realize your dreams!

After taking other people's money, I think you deserve it...

I used your money to realize my ideals and did a good thing!

Investors are also human beings. Even if they spend money for artistic pursuits, they should spend it comfortably!

Investors are not afraid of losing money to make good movies, so directors like Wei Desheng can raise hundreds of millions of Taiwan dollars to help him realize his dream.

So, the starting capital was obtained with NT$300 million!

Investors have supported you countless times, and you are constantly increasing your investment. Why do others use their wealth to play with you?

If you say something, the box office is good, you Wei Desheng is a hero who has gained fame, and investors can collect money later; if the box office is not good, what can you use to compensate investors for what they have lost?

150 million yuan cost is not a small amount of money.

Relying on the Taiwan market to recover costs?

Is it possible?

Even if it is placed in mainland China, it is not a small budget!

When promoting any movie, it is not about the movie itself, but about the difficulty. A director who is quite tragic and heroic is actually just giving his face...

...

Chen Mengxi was talking all the time, and Zhang Jiazhen and his group left...

In the original time and space, it seems that Wanda took over the release task of "Sedeke Barre".

The final box office was 16 million...

Very bleak!

How miserable is it?

Wanda's own theater is unwilling to schedule films for it!

Chen Mengxi also left the reception room and prepared to return to the office.

Lao Zhao also followed him out and reported his work: "After the broadcast of "Casual Inn", the ratings were about 3%, which is considered a phenomenal variety show..."

"Very good...is there any problem?"

"This model is so easy to imitate, and other satellite TV stations have launched almost all the programs..."

“…That’s right.”

"College Inn" is a group of celebrities who come to live in a place and feel the poetic and picturesque scenery of pastoral life...

Chat and reveal some "insider"...

There are scripts...or scripts to guide.

Otherwise, what's the point of sitting around and playing with your phone?

Chen Mengxi waved his hand: "It's okay, this show is just a guest. Next season, let Yifei, Yang Xiaomi stays there, and then paired it with a cook and a guided host, and you will live together!"

"The copyright sales of "The Voice" are doing quite well. In the United States, CBS TV has offered $40 million to buy out the copyright!"

"…You ask them to contact Fox and ABC TV stations and shop around... don't worry about you not being able to sell it."

"The Golden Rooster Award the day after tomorrow... are we going?"
