Who knew that not only was he not making any money, but he was also indirectly receiving a lot of bricks and being scolded to the point of collapse.

But even so, with Brother Hai's reputation and status, it is impossible to get to the point where he can't even continue to invest in movies that have already been launched.

That’s too miserable!

This is simply impossible!

However, the impossible is actually happening now. Brother Hai is obviously not just joking, he really intends to let Wu Di find a way.

Because, he still carried on this topic forcefully, even after Wu Di had already stated that he had no money.

"Xiao Wu, I also know that you are in trouble. As for me, I shouldn't bother you. However, the situation is indeed urgent now. Although I can find new investors quickly, isn't the filming imminent?"

"It was about to be completed, but something like this happened. No one could have imagined it."

"As the chief director, I don't want to see such a thing, but..."

Brother Hai is also in a dilemma, but what can he do?

Things really happened too suddenly. It turned out that just after Wu Disaya ran back to the capital, the filming of Meng's Orphans in Xiangshan continued.

After filming Wu Di's scenes, there were only some scattered scenes left. Brother Hai felt much more relaxed. Everything was about to end smoothly. Who knew that when they were urging the main investor for the later payment, they were informed that

, subsequent payments cannot be made!

For Brother Hai, this news is like a bolt from the blue. How could he have imagined such a situation?

I heard that there was a problem in the business operation of the main investment company, and there was a thunderstorm.

Therefore, Brother Hai can no longer take care of him. Not to mention this kind of movie that is about to be completed, even the final payment from the downstream companies cannot be paid now!

In order to make Brother Hai give up, the other party also told him clearly about the many chaos that happened in his company.

The meaning is very clear, and we also know that this is not kind, but what can we do? We really have no money.

You can't tie us up to exchange money!

Don't talk about your movie now. Even if it's a more urgent payment, we can't do anything about it. You can just do whatever you want.

This time, Brother Hai was thrown on the beach. The film crew was burning money as long as it was turned on for one day.

Now not only is there no follow-up investment, but there is even continuous outward expenditure. Of course, Brother Hai is not that stingy.

He can also pay for it himself for a period of time.

However, this is obviously not a long-term solution. After all, even if we make do with the subsequent plot, what will happen to the post-production?

Even if The Orphans is just a pure drama film and does not require any expensive special effects, but that is only compared to special effects films. How could a blockbuster like The Orphans not require any post-production at all?

Those all require large amounts of investment, and it is absolutely impossible to rely on Brother Hai alone.

"However, you can also discuss it with other co-investors and ask them to join the investment and increase the proportion."

"In the end, it depends on which company has invested the most, and just move it up. This should be easy to solve."

No one is an amateur, and don't treat young actors as fools. Although Wu Di's company has just started, he still understands this skill.

Brother Hai can't deceive him.

With the current scale of film investment, the days of one company being the main investor are long gone.

Although it is not as grand as the later generations where more than a dozen investors would often invest in a movie, five or six joint investments are possible.

It’s just that everyone’s investment ratio is different.

Generally, for a movie of the scale of "The Orphans of Meng", the top three companies will have a relatively high investment ratio.

Of course, movies are different from other projects. Generally speaking, the one who can be ranked first must be the one who takes the lead.

It's the main investor. If there's a problem with the main investor, it's really difficult.

Because the investment amount of the lead investor is almost several times that of the follow-on investors, the capabilities of the follow-on investors may not be able to fill the vacancies of the lead investor.

This is why many movies now involve multiple investment companies, but there are still situations where filming is stopped midway and there are financial problems.

It is often the lead investor who has the problem. In fact, even if there is a problem with the joint investment, it will generally not affect the movie.

Because there is a major investment company with a big head to support it, there is absolutely no problem in filming. What's more, film investment is inherently a floating project.

Even if it is agreed at the beginning that a certain amount of investment is required, in the end, it often ends up overspending.

Moreover, the overspending figures are not all small numbers.

In other words, the bigger the project, the greater the risk. You think, the bigger the stall, the more small money is needed to maintain it.

Even if there is a problem with a tiny link or lack of coordination, it is likely to cause delays or waste in shooting.

This money, of course, must be paid by investors.

Therefore, there are several quite well-known directors in the industry, most of whom are active in the field of commercial films and are very popular among investors.

Where does this special care come from?

Of course, it is because these directors have strong ability to control costs. Generally speaking, directors who know how to help investors save money are good directors.

Of course, there are very few directors like this, and they basically don’t appear in the field of literary and artistic films. They all make commercial films.

why?

Could it be that directors of literary and artistic films are all too ambitious and specialize in wasting investors' money?

This is also impossible.

The reason why directors of literary and artistic films are not ranked here is because they cannot be on the table at all. A literary film with an investment of less than tens of millions, or even a literary film that can attract tens of millions of investments, can be

It can be called a blockbuster among literary films.

Generally speaking, in this era, the situation of a literary film is about the same as that of Labyrinth, and a few million can be made to make one.

As for fate, it must be left to God to decide.

With such a small size, it will not bring down an investment company, and there will not even be any subsequent shortage of funds.

Because once you decide to start shooting, the amount paid in advance is basically enough to cover the cost of shooting.

Commercial film directors are different. They are extremely dependent on investment. Those directors who shoot quickly and can use their investment in a reasonable plan are simply lucky stars in the investment and business world.

Investors are very confident when working on their projects, and they can almost make money while lying down.

Now that you can do something as difficult as controlling investment, you don’t have to worry about other things, such as catching the audience’s attention, controlling the rhythm, and the twist at the end. You don’t have to worry about these.

He must be extremely good at it.

However, it is obvious that Brother Hai is not such a director. Extravagance and waste are the norm in his movies. He does not need to remind him. Wu Di also knows very well that this big brother's movies will definitely exceed budgets.

What should I do if I overspend?

Of course, we need to find new sources of investment.

However, Wu Di never expected that Tangtang Hai Ge would actually put his idea on his head.

"That's true, but Xiao Wu, don't underestimate yourself. Aren't you also running a film and television company?"

"Besides, I see that the financial support behind you is not just from one or two sources. Is there anyone you can introduce to me who can help me temporarily?"

Temporary emergency?

Other sources of funding?

Wu Di finally realized that Brother Hai's sword was never pointed at Wu Di, but at the person behind Wu Di!

Should we unravel this mystery?

Wu Di was caught in a conflict. If Lao Zhang had such a request, Wu Di would naturally be obligated and would definitely help make the connection.

Even with Lao Zhang's current status, if he wants to increase investors, he doesn't need Wu Di's help at all. He can do it himself.

However, now that it is Brother Hai who is making this request, there are too many variables.

Not to mention other things, Wu Di and Brother Hai don't have such a good relationship, so why should they help? Or are they just giving help in the snow at such a critical moment?

Not to mention, there is no friendship, but there is a lot of hatred. No one knows the original intention of Brother Hai to invite Wu Di to participate in the movie than him?

Does he have good intentions?

Besides, how did he behave when he arrived on the set?

Wu Di was not treated harshly at all, and even made things difficult for him. If Wu Di had not been good-tempered, he would have fallen out with him long ago.

Now, I still want him to help me. I really don’t know how this old man can open his mouth.

It has to be said that successful people do have a thick skin that others cannot have. The more critical the moment, the more it will be revealed.

Even a dandy like Wu Di can't compare.

This is so unreasonable!

Wu Di was already giving him face by not asking for remuneration from him, but he actually wanted to ask him for money in return. This is simply blackmail!

A complete blackmail!

Now, there is no reply on the other side of the receiver. Both sides are holding on, just to see which side can no longer hold back and speaks first.

The one who speaks first loses, this is obvious.
