Huayu Entertainment: Tianxian really wants to improve

Chapter 142 Hello, I am Liu Yifei and also Zhou Qianqian
About three hours,
The business car drove all the way from Hangzhou to Hengdian.

The driver sent Liu Xiaoli to the hotel, and with some doubts, took Gu Bei and Liu Yifei to the Ming and Qing Folk House Expo City.

This scenic spot, known as the ancient residence, is not yet open to the public.

But anyone in Hengdian knows that

The southeast corner here is the daily office of the founder of Hengdian Group.

There is a saying in Hengdian that the surname Xu is the most common name in Hengdian.

Although it was just a joke, it couldn't be considered a complete joke.

"Director Gu, this gate is made of pure mahogany, which is also a traditional industry here."

When passing through the gate, the driver introduced Gu Bei proudly.

Gu Bei and Liu Yifei both looked outside.
A palace-like gate, brightly colored like chicken blood.

It stands tall there, and its texture is obviously different from the buildings next to it.

"Do you think it looks good?"

Liu Yifei began to doubt herself.

"It's not good-looking. The older generation's aesthetics are different from ours." Gu Bei shook his head and said decisively, "But this door will cost at least eight figures."

Liu Yifei was amazed: "Now I think it's pretty good."

"Little money lover!"

Gu Bei couldn't help but complain.

Snapped!
A fist hit my shoulder.
It's just that this strength is not pink at all.

After entering the gate, there is a quiet hill.

The whole hill is covered with green plants and lush trees. Looking out, it is a sea of ​​green everywhere.

After a short winding mountain road, we reach the top of the mountain and see a small area of ​​antique buildings.
After Gu Bei got off the car, he found that the hill was actually a flat-topped mountain.

Although the mountain is not high, you can overlook the entire Hengdian from here, and it feels like an emperor looking down on his territory.

"Hello, Director Gu, welcome, welcome."

A slightly wealthy middle-aged man walked over. When he saw Liu Yifei, a hint of surprise flashed in his eyes, and then he looked at Gu Bei and Liu Yifei with a hint of teasing.

The driver promptly introduced Gu Bei: "Boss Xu is not here today. This is the president of Hengdian Film and Television, Xu Tianan."

The last name is Xu!
A hint of understanding flashed across Gu Bei's eyes.

Although Hengdian Group is named after Hengdian Town, it is a legitimate private enterprise.

Moreover, Hengdian Group has four major pillars.

The film, television, culture and tourism industries are more well-known to the public, but they can only rank third within the group.

However, even so, the ones who can hold power are definitely the Xu family.

Gu Bei glanced at Liu Yifei and took a half step behind her.

It was agreed that this time the stage would be set up for her, but Liu Yifei would be the one to perform.

Liu Yifei received Gu Bei's gaze,

She looked at Xu Tianan with a smile: "Hello, I'm Liu Yifei, and I'm also Zhou Qianqian."

Xu Tianan was slightly stunned when he heard this.

But he quickly reacted.
Immediately put away the playful look on his face:

"Hello, Mr. Zhou, I really didn't expect this!"

He shook Liu Yifei gently, only holding the front half of Liu Yifei's four fingers, which was a very standard way of shaking hands with women in business activities.

Then he shook hands with Gu Bei again.

The three of them went into the room to drink tea.

"Mr. Zhou, I heard that you're looking for funding in Kyoto recently. I wonder if we can help you?"

Xu Tianan first inquired about the Twilight project with Liu Yifei.

Liu Yifei was well prepared: "Our main domestic partner is still China Film Group, after all, it involves the issue of importing."

Xu Tianan sighed: "If I had known this earlier, we could have made it a co-production."

"After all, it's an adaptation. If a co-production changes too much, it's likely to lose the North American market."

Liu Yifei said another sentence,

He pushed Xu Tianan back lightly.

"We'll have a chance to cooperate next time." Xu Tianan knew that there was little hope.

He turned to look at Gu Bei, "Director Gu, we have already read the synopsis of the script of Gravity that you sent us.

He is worthy of being the Palme d'Or director, as science fiction films can also be so humanistic."

After a pause, Xu Tianan felt a little embarrassed: "But... after all, there are no successful commercial blockbuster science fiction movies in China!"

Sci-fi blockbuster?

Liu Yifei was a little surprised.
Gu Bei hadn't even told her about this plan!
"If the domestic market isn't big enough, there's still the overseas market. I don't have to worry about making a profit."

Gu Bei kicked the ball back to Xu Tianan, "I'm mainly worried about the studio in Hengdian. This is a space-themed science fiction film, so it requires more advanced supporting facilities."

"Then I'll take you to see the studio."

Xu Tianan stood up.
I took them to see the largest studios in Hengdian.

In addition to the film and television city that is well-known to tourists, Hengdian, as the Hollywood of China, also has many studios.

But after a full circle,

Gu Bei still shook his head in disappointment.
After all, it is a private enterprise with profit as its core.

There are enough studios, but the quality cannot compare with the studios under China Film Group.

"Director Gu, can't this Studio No. 1 meet your requirements?" Xu Tianan was a little confused. This was already their largest studio.

"At the very least, it needs to be raised several dozen meters, and the equipment also needs to be updated."

Gu Bei explained the transformation plan in detail.
Xu Tianan and the technical executives around him shook their heads as they listened.
If you want to meet Gu Bei's requirements, you have to spend a lot of money on renovation.

But the question is, apart from Gu Bei, who else has the capital and ability to shoot a science fiction blockbuster in Hengdian?

China does not have the soil for science fiction now!

"Director Gu, do you want to make a costume movie?"

Xu Tianan still had some hope.
I want to replicate the legendary story of Hengdian Film and Television and Chen Kaige.

"Boss Xu, I really can't shoot a costume movie."

Gu Bei shook his head.

He hasn't watched many costume films.

And there are not many costume films with high box office.

Could it be possible to make a movie called "Man Jiang Hong"?
He doesn't have the connections to get so many screenings!

"That's a pity."

Xu Tianan was a little disappointed.
After spending an entire afternoon with Gu Bei, he still failed to seduce him into the field of costume blockbusters, which is where Hengdian Film and Television excels.

After a pause, he regained his composure and said, "Mr. Zhou, Director Gu, the cocktail party is ready.
Mr. Figo from Summit Entertainment and his team have also arrived at the reception."

"This time, please help us entertain the Summit Entertainment team, Mr. Xu."

"It's okay, it's because of our invitation that your meeting schedule was disrupted!"

Xu Tianan didn't care at all.

How much does it cost to hold a cocktail party?

Hengdian Film and Television has been planning to enter the film industry.

Summit Entertainment is a low-ranking North American distributor.

But as an overseas distributor, we have decades of experience.

Xu Tianan was able to get in touch with the president of Summit Entertainment, and the money was spent very well.

……

The filming site of The Forbidden Kingdom.

"It's done!"

Li Weifeng, the deputy producer sent by Huayi, shouted,
The team on the scene cheered. It was a rare day to finish work so early, and everyone left the set in twos and threes.

Li Bingbing looked at director Rob Minkoff and co-producer William who were chatting not far away.
She asked Li Weifeng in confusion: "Brother Li, what happened today? You finished work so early."

Li Weifeng glanced over there and said casually, "I heard from William that a Hollywood distributor came to Hengdian and invited the director and producer to attend a business reception together."

Hollywood Distributors!

Li Bingbing's eyes suddenly lit up and he grasped the key words.
