Chen Wenkang finished reading Xia Yuan's " Wandering Earth " script. There was only one word that could describe his feelings.
That was-stunning!
The first was the amazing creativity. The Earth was facing a crisis of destruction due to the continuous expansion of the sun. If humans wanted to survive, they had to take the Earth and wander to Centaurus, 4.2 light years away.
Wandering Earth was a huge project that spanned a hundred generations. The story was about the crisis that happened after the Earth was captured by Jupiter's gravity.
The entire story was completed, and the shooting was very feasible. The only thing that was more demanding was the special effects.
However, Chen Wenkang was one of the top directors in China. It would not be a problem for him to find a top-notch special effects production team.
Therefore, Chen Wenkang was very interested in the script of " Wandering Earth ".
Even if this script wasn't written by Zhao Ya's old classmate, Xia Yuan, Chen Wenkang would still be able to get it even if it was written by an ordinary screenwriter.
"Director Chen, how was it?" Zhao Ya asked curiously when she saw Director Chen Wenkang finish reading the script of " The Wandering Earth ".
Chen Wenkang's face showed a satisfied look.""It's a really good script. I like it very much. Director Zhao, Mr. Xia Yuan, if you think highly of me, Chen Wenkang, I'm willing to direct this movie and make it a milestone in Chinese sci-fi movies!”
Chen Wenkang was very confident, but there was only one prerequisite, that was, the investment must be sufficient.
After all, special effects were very expensive for sci-fi movies like this. The publicity and actors 'salaries were secondary.
"But Director Chen, if we want to shoot this movie, we will definitely need a few hundred million yuan in investment. Won't it be a little difficult?”Xia Yuan asked.
At this moment, Zhao Ya calmly said,""Investment is not a problem. Director Chen, how much do you think it will cost?”
"According to our previous discussion, if you and Mr. Xia Yuan are used as the male and female leads, we can save a lot of money on the cost of remuneration. Then, there are the special effects costs and the remuneration of other actors, as well as the filming costs and post-production publicity costs. I estimate that it will start at least 300 million yuan.”
Chen Wenkang analyzed the situation.
At least 300 million yuan of investment was needed to start the movie project of " Wandering Earth ", which was within Xia Yuan's expectations.
However!
Did Director Chen Wenkang just say that he and Zhao Ya would be the male and female leads?
Xia Yuan looked at Zhao Ya in confusion.""Did I hear wrongly just now? We'll be the male and female leads?"
In fact, Xia Yuan had not considered this aspect at all, so he was a little surprised.
"That's right. Such an excellent script and movie, of course I want to participate. Previously, I've been studying at Shanghai's Drama Academy. It's a good opportunity for me to gain some experience. As for you, I believe in you.”Zhao Ya said with a smile.
Acting in a movie?
Xia Yuan pondered for a moment. It was quite an interesting thing. Moreover, it was to star in a movie that he had written. That was even more interesting.
After all, Xia Yuan also hoped that " Wandering Earth " would be able to create even more brilliant results in this parallel world.
"Alright, I don't mind." Xia Yuan expressed his attitude like a salted fish.
"How about this, Director Chen? I'll invest 500 million yuan. We must make this movie of excellent quality.”Zhao Ya said to Director Chen Wenkang.
F * ck!
Xia Yuan was stunned!
I'm actually sitting here and participating in a 500 million project?
Zhao Ya's first bid was 500 million. As expected of a wealthy woman with a net worth of 20 billion. How generous!
"Alright, Director Zhao. Don't worry. With such an excellent script and sufficient investment, as long as I don't break down, I guarantee that this movie will become a hit!”Chen Wenkang guaranteed.
With so much investment and such an excellent script, if he messed it up, he could atone for his sins with his life.
"Then Director Chen, start the project of 'Wandering Earth' as soon as possible. We'll shoot it in the shortest time and with the highest quality.”Zhao Ya stated her request.
He had to be fast.
More importantly, they had to ensure the quality.
This required the efficiency of the filming work.
Chen Wenkang nodded." No problem, Director Zhao. I'll immediately organize a team after I go back. Then, I'll use the greatest resources to find the actors as soon as possible and start filming!"”
"Okay."
"Then, Director Zhao, I'll be leaving first. See you later.”
Chen Wenkang took the script and left Fan Xi Cafe.
"My little ancestor." After Director Chen Wenkang left, Xia Yuan sighed and said to Zhao Ya,""500 million, and you invested just like that?"
"Even if your work is worth five billion, I'll invest too.”Zhao Ya rolled her eyes obediently, looking adorable and charming.
Xia Yuan did not expect Zhao Ya to treat him so well.
However, Xia Yuan wasn't worried that Zhao Ya's 500 million investment would go down the drain. After all, the script for " Wandering Earth " that he wrote was of high quality, and it was also directed by Director Chen Wenkang.
It was possible to break even or even earn more box office earnings.
If it really exploded, it would be a huge profit.
