Chapter 132 Shortage of funds!
This statement came out.
This immediately caused an uproar among people on Weibo.
It was okay to sing songs while filming movies before.
After all, there are many people in the entertainment industry who can do it.
but!
Jiang Xing said that he also understood the themes of science fiction movies.
This is somewhat of a boast.
After all, science fiction, as a highly professional subject, is not a particularly popular subject in the novel circle, let alone the entertainment circle.
Domestic editors basically will not write professional hard science fiction scripts unless they have the help of science fiction writers.
Jiang Xing actually made such a bold statement, saying that he understood science fiction, which was somewhat exaggerated.
Therefore, there is a comment section below his Weibo post.
Most people were skeptical.
"No buddy, can you really do that? Why do I have some doubts?"
"It does sound very sincere, but his ability needs to be tested!"
"It's not a big problem. We'll know when the time comes."
"Yeah, no one can tell about this kind of thing."
"As a die-hard fan, I still believe that Jiang Xing can make a good film of The Wandering Earth."
Although there are many doubts on the Internet.
However, there are also some fans and science fiction enthusiasts who expressed their firm support for Jiang Xing's confidence.
After all, the creative ability demonstrated before is not to be underestimated.
Who knows, maybe it really works?
After all, there are very few people making science fiction movies in China.
"Anything produced by Jiang Xing must be a masterpiece! Just wait for The Wandering Earth to be released, and then I will slap the faces of those who doubt it!"
"Don't underestimate Jiang Xing, his talent and ability are not to be underestimated. Science fiction movie? I believe he can bring us surprises!"
"Jiang Xing is determined to enter the science fiction circle this time. Support him! Look forward to his "The Wandering Earth"!"
On the Internet, this discussion and speculation is intensifying.
Jiang Xing's name and the title of "The Wandering Earth" frequently appear in hot topics on major forums and social media.
however.
for all this.
Jiang Xing, however, behaved unusually calmly.
He knew that in this circle, doubt and expectation were the norm.
What I have to do is to prove everything with my own strength.
As a result, he focused more on the preparations for "The Wandering Earth".
He found the country's top science fiction writers and screenwriter team to discuss the details of the script together.
He personally participated in the casting and selected the actors who were most suitable for the roles.
He even personally designed some key scenes and props in the movie.
After several months of intense preparation, "The Wandering Earth" finally started filming.
On set.
Jiang Xing would spend more than ten hours almost every day discussing the plot and adjusting the performances with the actors and staff.
As the company's first major production, I must take it seriously.
Crew.
Lead actress Li Yuan looked at the script in her hand, feeling somewhat worried.
It’s not that he didn’t believe in Jiang Xing’s ability, he just felt that science fiction films were too niche in the domestic market.
"Director Jiang, do you think we can really succeed in making a science fiction film?"
Li Yuan during a break.
She found Jiang Xing with great concern and raised her concerns.
Jiang Xing raised his head, looked at her firmly, and smiled: "Do you know? Every great beginning originates from a seemingly impossible dream."
“Although science fiction films are a niche in the domestic market, this does not mean that they have no chance of success. We must not only make them, but also make them high-quality, so that the world can see the charm of Chinese science fiction films!”
"But..." Li Yuan wanted to say something, but was interrupted by Jiang Xing.
"No buts."
Jiang Xing stood up and patted her on the shoulder: "I believe in you and our crew. We have the ability and confidence to make "The Wandering Earth" a classic, so let's work together to fight for our dream!"
Li Yuan was moved by Jiang Xing's words, and the doubts in her heart gradually dissipated.
She nodded and said firmly, "Okay, Director Jiang, I believe in you and our crew."
"I will do my best to play my role well and contribute to the success of The Wandering Earth."
in the following days.
The entire crew was immersed in the intense and orderly shooting.
only.
Just filmed not long ago.
The crew then encountered another major problem.
Lack of money!
Yes.
The crew is out of money.
Although the previous movie "Fleet of Time" achieved good box office results.
But the share is not much, and the investment in science fiction films is not small, so there seems to be a shortage of funds.
After all, this time, The Wandering Earth not only has artists from the company, he also invited many highly compatible stars to show their support.
and so.
Not long after the construction started.
There was a clear shortage of income in the account.
"It's a bit tricky!"
Jiang Xing looked at the funds in his account that were decreasing day by day.
He frowned, feeling a little uneasy.
The investment cost of science fiction movies is huge.
Wait, I haven't done much yet and the money has been spent.
It seems difficult to achieve perfect production.
Beside him, Xu Ruan muttered quietly, "Why don't we find someone to invest in us? There should be quite a few people in the country who are willing to invest in us."
Hear the words.
Jiang Xing closed his eyes and began to think.
"But it's actually quite difficult to get the right people to invest. After all, most people want to invest in the crew and get a few actors in."
He said in a deep voice.
I have been working in the entertainment industry for such a long time.
I have a very clear understanding of all the ins and outs of it.
"Is that so..." Xu Ruan lowered his head in thought.
"I'll first look for some people inside to see if there are any willing to invest without interfering." Jiang Xing said, "Or some gambling agreements, I think that's acceptable."
Jiang Xing's decision seems to be the most feasible option at the moment.
In the entertainment industry, lack of funds is a common challenge, especially when it comes to making big-budget films.
Find suitable investors or sign a bet agreement.
Although it may bring some additional pressure or conditions, it can often solve the immediate problem.
"Betting agreement?"
Xu Ruan looked up in surprise. "Isn't that a bigger risk? If the box office isn't satisfactory, won't we be burdened with a huge debt?"
Jiang Xing took a deep breath, his eyes flashing with determination and resoluteness: "Risks and opportunities coexist, this is the norm in the entertainment industry. Since we have chosen this path, we must have the courage to face all challenges."
"Moreover, I have confidence in The Wandering Earth. I believe it can become a successful science fiction film."
Xu Ruan looked at Jiang Xing's determined eyes.
The doubts in her heart gradually dissipated, and she nodded: "Okay, I support you. Then let's take action now and see if we can find a suitable investor."
In the next few days, Jiang Xing and Xu Ruan rushed around looking for partners willing to invest in "The Wandering Earth".
