Chapter 213 is finished.
Even if China Film only gets 10% of the share, that's still a whole small goal!
Just like the movie "Red Cliff" back then, the scale is too big, so the impact will definitely be significant.
How could a meeting held by China Film Group possibly be completely airtight?
Soon, rumors reached the ears of the heads of several major film and television companies in Beijing.
The Wang brothers of Huayi, Wang Changtian of Enlight Media, Yu Dong of Poly Real Estate... all these bosses are extremely anxious!
This is outrageous!
Everyone agreed to keep a close eye on Vision Entertainment, and if there's any sign of trouble, they'd immediately grab their checkbooks and bang on the door!
How did Han Sanping become the first to know in the blink of an eye, and even know the investment cost?
In the chairman's office of Enlight Media.
Wang Changtian held his teacup, carefully sorting out the cause and effect, and suddenly slapped his forehead, realizing what had happened.
broken!
The subordinates only knew how to keep an eye on the gate of Vision Entertainment, and didn't keep an eye on Gu Heng's house at all!
What can you do even if you realize it?
They certainly wouldn't send anyone to spy on Gu Heng's private residence.
If Gu Heng found out who dared to do this, given that kid's temper and fierce protectiveness, he would be furious.
Who the hell would want to make a living with him in this industry after this? He wouldn't even leave you a drop of soup!
Who knows, maybe after you start a new movie, he'll start one too.
(Gu Heng: He's slandering me, he's... it's actually quite possible.)
Wang Changtian shook his head helplessly.
But despite the helplessness, Gu Heng has not yet announced the investors, so it is definitely not settled yet.
After figuring all this out, Wang Changtian quickly called his driver.
Let's take a look at the vision.
……
This time, Gu Heng didn't resort to the same cryptic tactics he used in "Inception".
This time, the investment approach is simple and straightforward.
Gu Heng simply placed four contracts on the table, letting whoever came first take them.
It all depends on whether you dare to follow!
Without saying a word, Han Sanping, who had just finished the meeting, took away 20% of the share on behalf of China Film Group.
There's no way around it; China Film Group is the big brother, and its financial strength is one aspect.
The subsequent use of the military and heavy weapons to assist in filming will depend entirely on Han Sanping's efforts in coordinating and running around.
He took the lion's share without a second thought.
Because Wang Changtian was quick-witted and the driver pressed the accelerator hard, he took 7% from Gu Heng.
For the remaining share, Lu Zhen, who was radiant with starlight, gritted her teeth and spent 4% of her money so that her little princess could ride on Yuanjian's coattails in the future.
Although Wang Zhonglei from Huayi arrived a little late, he managed to grab the last 4 spots thanks to his strong financial backing.
As for Yu Dong of Poly and several other executives, their cars were stuck in traffic on the Fourth Ring Road.
When they arrived, they hadn't even had a chance to drink the extra hot soup, and had to leave with regret.
In the end, Warner Bros. in Hollywood took 20%, plus the 35% from the bigwigs in China, and Vision Entertainment took 45% itself.
The lion's share is still in Gu Heng's hands, and he has absolute control over it!
The following day, news about "Edge of Tomorrow" was released to the public.
Gu Heng's personal Weibo account remains the same one that can drive obsessive-compulsive people crazy.
Just three words: "Finished writing."
There isn't even a punctuation mark.
But Vision Entertainment's official Weibo account was anything but human, issuing a lengthy announcement!
"With a total investment of US$1.5 million, Gu Heng's self-written and directed sci-fi epic 'Edge of Tomorrow' has officially been approved!"
The moment the news broke, the entertainment industry and the entire internet were stunned.
"How much? How much did you say?"
"I knew staying up all night was bad! I woke up hallucinating... Holy crap, dollars!!"
"Director Gu, why don't you delete the Weibo post? We'll pretend we didn't see it."
Initially, netizens and industry insiders all thought that the far-sighted staff had made a mistake in the unit of measurement, typing RMB as USD.
Half a day later, not only did Vision's official Weibo account not delete the post, but several investors, including China Film Group, Enlight Media, and Huayi Brothers, also reposted it.
Everyone gasped in shock, finally realizing that Gu Heng was serious this time!
The entire film and television industry was in an uproar.
This is an unprecedentedly high-budget production in the history of Chinese-language cinema!
People even found it extremely unbelievable.
The online community instantly split into two camps.
Some say Gu Heng has become arrogant, taking too big a step and is bound to make a mess of things; this time he's definitely going to fall flat on his face.
Some people think that since Gu Heng dared to do it, he must be confident, and this time he's going to take off.
In an instant, the eyes of various media outlets, investors, and celebrities were fixed on Vision Entertainment like searchlights.
But Gu Heng had no time to pay attention to the noise outside.
For a project worth 1 billion, if we want to get this film out as soon as possible, how can we not wind it up quickly?
Gu Heng gave Su Qing the audition requirements directly and asked her to announce them to the public.
The male lead and other supporting roles are all open to the public this time, so the casting is no longer predetermined.
Each of the gods and immortals relies on their own abilities; whoever is suitable will take the position.
But the female lead, without a doubt, is reserved for her own little fox.
Some knowledgeable netizens or film critics might wonder: Hey, wasn't Yang Mi already gone in the post-credits scene of "Source Code"?
Gu Heng could only shrug and say: "Resurrect me! My…"
Cough cough, it's all looped, so the female lead must be alive too!
After arranging the casting, Gu Heng immediately went to "Tiangong" (the name of the three special effects companies after their merger).
Gu Heng finished explaining the initial requirements.
This time he plans to do the special effects and filming simultaneously!
We absolutely cannot wait until filming is finished before slowly dragging out the work; otherwise, the production schedule simply cannot be delayed.
As for the heavily armored mechs and large-scale military scenes in the film...
With Han Sanping around, the Central Motion Picture Corporation (CMPC) could simply ask the military for donations, and that would be the end of it.
Having settled this huge mess, Gu Heng and Yang Mi returned to the courtyard house one after the other.
As soon as he entered, Gu Heng tossed the complete script of "Edge of Tomorrow" to Yang Mi.
The little fox is looking forward to her new role, and she excitedly settled on the sofa with the script in hand to start reading.
Gu Heng, holding a teacup, sat to the side and quietly added insult to injury.
"Look closely, your character this time is really good at fighting. Before filming starts, you'll have to go through military training and wear heavy armor. You're going to suffer a lot."
"Huh?" Yang Mi was stunned, and her face instantly fell.
"Who told you to slack off every morning when we were practicing martial arts together?" Gu Heng said with a gloating expression.
Yang Mi's eyes lit up, and she immediately moved closer, grabbing Gu Heng's arm and shaking it: "No way! You have to help me! At least you have to be there for me when I'm training!"
"Accompany you? What about my job as a big director then?"
