Chapter 177 New 85 Flowers
(Some content has been added to the previous chapter)
When he got to the reception room, he was delighted.
The first person you see is Mr. Ren, the head of Shanghai Film Studio.
Others may not know what Han Sanping has been messing around with lately, but how could he not know?
We're all seasoned veterans of the system; I bet Third Master already knew everything about the integration application he submitted.
Since they can't get the credit for this integration, they should at least get a piece of the pie in the soup of supporting domestic science fiction, right?
As for the person sitting next to Chairman Ren, Gu Heng was also familiar with him.
Lu Zhen, radiant with starlight.
This person's idea was even simpler and more direct.
Nobody in the industry dares to go for it? Then I'll go for it!
You're afraid of losing money, but I'm not!
Even if I lose money following Director Gu this time, consider it paying protection money to get some recognition. You'll have to take me along next time, right?
Gu Heng found it amusing to see that these two not only showed no remorse for being tricked, but were also beaming with excitement as if they were about to divide the spoils.
Without hesitation, he made a phone call and summoned Han Sanping over.
Less than half an hour later, Han Sanping strode open the door to the reception room and immediately spotted Chairman Ren sitting leisurely on the sofa, drinking tea.
The old man narrowed his eyes and paused in his steps.
"You've arrived," Han Sanping said coldly.
"I've arrived." Chairman Ren put down his teacup and smiled slightly.
"You shouldn't have come."
"But I'm already here."
Gu Heng sat in the boss's chair, his lips twitching uncontrollably.
Wait, you two big shots, are you filming "The Legend of Lu Xiaofeng" here? Maybe I should give you two your own martial arts film. Why are you acting like this?!
She's so old, yet she's still so childish.
Before Gu Heng could even utter a complaint, Han Sanping pulled a beautifully packaged box of tea from his pocket and slammed it onto Gu Heng's desk with a "thud."
"Here you go! This is some good tea I had someone get for you, so you won't keep eyeing my little stock in the office!"
After saying that, Han Sanping gestured with his chin towards Chairman Ren, seemingly unintentionally.
See that? What's our relationship? Uncle and nephew! What are you doing here, old man?
Ren Dong was exasperated by Han Sanping's possessive behavior.
That arrogant jerk!
Seeing that the two big shots were about to start their silent battle, Lu Zhen, who had been a background figure for a while, quickly cleared his throat and interrupted them.
"Ahem... Director Gu, Third Master, Chairman Ren, shall we discuss the shareholding issue first?"
Hearing that they were about to discuss serious matters, the two men composed themselves and found seats to sit down.
Gu Heng tapped his fingers on the table, revealing his intentions directly: "I plan to produce this film to the highest standards, with a total cost of approximately 7 million. Vision Entertainment will take 6% of it."
"That won't do!"
Han Sanping was the first to object, puffing out his beard and glaring, "I've been running around doing this mess these past few days, my legs are practically worn out, and China Film Group isn't giving me enough!"
Gu Heng thought about it and realized that it made sense; the post-production special effects integration for this film would still depend on Third Master's expertise.
"Alright, then Vision will concede and take 5%, but I must have absolute control and dominance. The remaining half, you can divide among yourselves."
"It's settled." Han Sanping waved his hand and made the decision directly. "Then China Film Group will take 3%. Ren, Lu, you two will each take 1%, no objections?"
Ren Dong and Lu Zhen exchanged a glance, both cursing inwardly: "That's why they call you 'Mountain Eagle'! You're so damn ruthless!"
However, being able to squeeze onto this train was already their goal, so the two of them didn't argue any further and readily agreed.
With the share agreed upon, the atmosphere in the meeting room immediately relaxed, and the group began chatting about science fiction films.
Just then, Lu Zhen rubbed his hands together and tentatively spoke up: "Director Gu, um... are there any vacant roles in our film? I have someone here named Jing Tian..."
Gu Heng raised an eyebrow.
Hey ho, a new generation of actresses born in 85 has appeared!
This person is a top-tier resource star who follows the same path as Liu Qianqian.
There's a saying in the industry: "Nan Yihuan, Bei Jingtian, and Zhuang Xinyan who just can't become famous."
This woman is destined to be a true "worldly beauty," consistently taking on leading roles in big-budget productions, with top actors and even Hollywood stars playing supporting roles for her.
She has always been very popular, but unfortunately, she has been given too many resources, and her strength and resources are somewhat mismatched, which led to her being ridiculed by the general public in her early years.
The term "resource-backed user" is... well, how should I put it?
People in the entertainment industry have always been hostile to those with connections or resources, feeling that they are taking away opportunities from ordinary people and disrupting the ecological balance.
But at the same time, these people secretly wish they could take his place!
Do you think being a "resource-backed" celebrity is as happy as you imagine?
you are wrong!
The joy of being a resource-rich individual is beyond your imagination!
Gu Heng stroked his chin and said to Lu Zhen, "Yes, there is, but it's a supporting role with limited screen time. Is that alright?"
Upon hearing that there was a chance, Lu Zhen immediately beamed with joy: "The size of the role doesn't matter, as long as it's Director Gu's film, a chance to appear on screen is fine!"
A few days later.
Vision Entertainment, China Film Group, Shanghai Film Group, and Starlight Entertainment—four companies simultaneously and in a very high-profile manner—made official announcements to the public.
Movie: Source Code
Director/Screenwriter: Gu Heng
Production companies: Vision Entertainment, China Film Group, Shanghai Film Group, and Starlight Entertainment.
Producer: Liu Jun
The sheer number of these four companies listed together was quite intimidating.
Those who used to jump around on blogs and Tianya every day, mocking Gu Heng for his doomed science fiction films, have all fallen silent.
With four industry giants joining forces to protect it, who would dare to openly provoke them?
But did they really shut up?
No! Many people are still secretly sour about it.
"What's the use of a star-studded cast? Sci-fi films are all about the industrial foundation! No amount of hype will change anything before the final product is released!"
Anyway, the people in the industry who are watching this mess all have one attitude:
Do you believe I'm Qin Shi Huang, or do you believe Gu Heng can actually make a science fiction film?!
After securing the investment for "Source Code," he took some time to personally visit the three special effects companies.
As a result, Gu Heng's brows remained furrowed throughout the entire afternoon.
To be honest, even if these three top domestic companies were put together, their technical level was still a bit lacking in Gu Heng's eyes.
After all, the foundation of China's science fiction industry is too weak.
Anyway, these three companies will eventually be integrated by Han Sanping, and they will most likely become his team.
So, Gu Heng decided to go all the way and directly selected a group of key technical personnel from these three companies.
"Pack your bags, flying to Los Angeles tomorrow!"
Gu Heng, using the name of North American Vision Entertainment, directly put these people into the crew of Nolan's "Inception"!
Nolan has Warner Bros. backing him up; that's Hollywood's top-tier special effects team.
