He felt that it shouldn't be this person, but thinking about it carefully, it seemed that there was no other possibility except this person.

Forget it, we'll find out tomorrow whether it is or not.

...........

"Hello, Mr. Wang, I am Guo Fan."

Looking at the slightly familiar face of the person in front of him, Wang Duoyu couldn't help but be speechless.

Good guy, it’s really you!

Wang Duoyu had previously thought about whether Wu Jing's buddy might be Guo Fan, but seeing that Guo Fan only released a movie "My Deskmate" last year, Wang Duoyu felt that this possibility was unlikely.

But I didn't expect that I actually guessed it right.

In this case, Wang Duoyu also knows what kind of movie he wants to shoot.

"The Wandering Earth"!

"Hello, sit down and chat."

Wang Duoyu stretched out his hand and shook Guo Fan's hand, then motioned for him to sit down.

After hearing Wang Duoyu's words, Guo Fan also sat on the sofa, and then took out the script he had prepared in advance.

"Mr. Wang, this is the script I want to get your investment for this time. Please take a look."

"Okay, let me take a look."

Wang Duoyu took the script and read it.

Good guy, it really is "The Wandering Earth".

Wang Duoyu pretended not to know it was a movie and read the script carefully.

Sure enough, it was no different from what I remembered.

After reading it, Wang Duoyu pondered for a moment and asked a question in his mind.

"Director Guo, if I remember correctly, you just released a movie with a good reputation last year. You shouldn't be short of investment now, right?"

Hearing this, Guo Fan scratched the back of his head in embarrassment, "Speaking of which, this matter has something to do with Mr. Wang."

"Me?" Wang Duoyu pointed to himself in confusion.

Guo Fan nodded, "That's right. My original plan was to invest about 200 million. If possible, I could reduce the cost and complete the shooting with about 150 million. Although this number is not low, I should be able to make up for it.

I put together the investment, but after watching "The Legend of Emperor Xin" produced by your company this year, I felt that the special effects in a science fiction film should not be too bad, so I slightly increased the amount of investment, but no one was willing to invest.

....”

"How much do you expect to invest now?" Wang Duoyu asked curiously.

"400 million!"

Guo Fan stretched out four fingers.

Wang Duoyu was speechless when he heard this.

Good guy, you really dare to think!

It requires an investment of 400 million in a science fiction field that is considered hopeless by countless people in China!

Who the hell would give you this money?

No wonder those people don't dare to vote.

Guo Fan just said that his planned investment is about 200 million, but Wang Duoyu remembers clearly that the investment in this film has gone through several changes, and the investment has exceeded 250 million!

In other words, it is far more than the budget of 50 million.

This 50 million can already make a good movie.

The investment in "Wolf Warrior One" was only over 80 million!

And Guo Fan's budget this time was directly raised to 400 million.

Judging from Guo Fan's criminal record, the final expenditure will definitely be more than 400 million, and maybe it will go straight to 500 million in the end.

This amount of investment, to put it bluntly, is the only one in the country that can invest in Guo Fan.

This is when Wang Duoyu knew the profit of this movie. If he didn't know the profit, let alone 400 million, he would have to consider it even if it was 40 million.

After thinking for a while, Wang Duoyu asked Guo Fan: "Director Guo, if I invest, when will you be able to produce the finished product?"

Hearing this, Guo Fan's eyes suddenly lit up.

"Mr. Wang, you have also shot a movie that requires big special effects like "The Legend of Emperor Xin" before. You should know how long the special effects are delayed. If you start shooting this year, the only thing I can guarantee is that it will be ready before the Spring Festival in 2017.

I can’t guarantee the finished product or anything else.”

"That's it...then I'll think about it."

Wang Duoyu did not agree directly.

In fact, the 2017 Spring Festival release is only more than a year away, so there is no problem with the timing, which is consistent with the shooting time of a special effects science fiction film.

But after all, this is a business worth hundreds of millions, and Wang Duoyu cannot agree to it easily.

The simpler the promise, the greater the chance of problems on Guo Fan's side.

If this guy's later expenses are fully charged, then he will be given a total of 670 million to spend. Isn't that a waste of his own money?

Although I know that the final result of this movie is to make money, making more money and making less money are two different things.

Who would deliberately earn less when they could earn more?

"Okay, Director Guo, I'll think about it. You can go back and wait for news from me."

A trace of disappointment flashed in Guo Fan's eyes.

This wasn't the first time he heard such an answer.

But the past few times I basically just went back and there was no news.

We are all adults, and we don’t need to explain many things clearly.

If you don't agree in person, it's basically a rejection.

Not refusing face to face is just to save you some face.

Thinking of this, Guo Fan nodded towards Wang Duoyu.

"Then don't bother Mr. Wang."

"It's okay, I'll think about it first."

"Okay, I'll say goodbye first."

"Um."

After Guo Fan left, Wang Duoyu also called Elsa.

"Let the finance department know that there will be a big expense at the end of the month."

"Approximately how old is it?"

"Let's prepare 400 million first."

"So much? Are there any new projects to invest in?"

"Well, it's a science fiction film. I'll ask the director to go back and wait for news. I'll give him a break and then I'll sign a contract and make money if I agree to it later."

"Okay, Mr. Wang, I will inform the finance department now."

After Elsa left, Wang Duoyu thought of another question.

How old is Zhao Jinmai this year?

I searched online.

Well, she is two years younger than Zhao Lusi, and she is exactly eighteen this year.

Good life!

No, I seem to have a grudge against the person named Zhao...

Wang Duoyu smiled inexplicably.

It seems that I have come into contact with a lot of people named Zhao.

I looked at the time and saw that it was already 11:30 in the morning. It was almost time to go home from get off work and hug my daughter.

get off work!

Thinking about it, Wang Duoyu packed up his things and went home.

When I got home, I happened to see Zhao Liying breastfeeding Zhao Xirui in the living room, and Wang Duoyu also went over to take a few sips.

"Tsk, it doesn't taste good."

Wang Duoyu frowned.

Zhao Liying couldn't help but roll her eyes when she heard this.
