Huayu 05, our science fiction movie universe

Chapter 75: Heading to the Big Screen

After giving instructions to Liu Wenwen, the issue of the copyright for the film and television adaptation of the novel has come to a temporary end.

Although this matter involves Wang Hao's future industrial layout, it is still the future after all. In addition to long-term planning, he also has to take care of the present.

If you don’t even take the first step, how can you talk about the future?

So after sitting in the company for a day and dealing with the backlog of matters, Wang Hao came to the office building of the movie channel the next day.

At this stage, and even for some time to come, movies are his main business.

"My uncle... Hello, Director Lu!" Wang Hao pushed the door open and walked in. Under his uncle's stern gaze, he quickly changed his words, "Are you still busy?"

Lu Guotao glanced at his mischievous nephew without even raising his head.

"You have something to say."

Wang Hao smiled awkwardly, "Director Lu, I just came back and you didn't even let me sit down for a moment, not even a sip of water."

"The water will pour out by itself." This time Lu Guotao finally raised his head. "Just got back? Finished the filming?"

"The filming is over."

Wang Hao held a paper cup and poured himself some water while answering:

"We are currently working on the post-production special effects at Huaying. We estimate that it will be officially completed in more than a month."

Lu Guotao nodded when he heard this. "Then why are you coming to me instead of taking care of the post-production? I don't think the station has delayed you on the funding issue."

"No, no, the funds arrived in a timely manner."

Wang Hao waved his hands repeatedly, and then said:
"I'm here for two things, well... it can be considered one thing, that is, the next movie, Huaying wants to invest in the distribution..."

"Huaying?!"

Lu Guotao frowned, and this time he looked at his nephew with a much more serious look.

"Did you find a connection with the old man?"

Wang Hao nodded and then shook his head.

“I did look for it, but as you said, it was only for special effects.

However, after learning about my project, the leaders there expressed great interest, and when I mentioned my next movie, they thought about investing a little.”

"If Huaying is investing, then you are not going to make a TV movie for your next film? Will you go straight to the theaters?"

Lu Guotao's question went straight to the point. Wang Hao hesitated for a while before speaking.

"Movies are destined to be shown on the big screen, aren't they?"

Lu Guotao was speechless after hearing this.

He certainly knows what kind of charm a movie-maker, especially a director, has for a blockbuster movie.

What's more, this is indeed an excellent opportunity for my nephew.

I already have the achievements of two TV movies as a foundation, I have practiced my skills, and I have built up a team. Now I can really try to move forward.

Moreover, if the TV movie is filmed for a long time, the impression Wang Hao gives people will become fixed, which is not a good thing.

“It’s up to you to decide. The movie channel is indeed a small platform, and I won’t stop you.

But remember, when you are out there, abiding by the law is your first priority. Everyone knows what this circle is like, so don’t cause any trouble.”

Lu Guotao looked at his nephew and said seriously.

Wang Hao also nodded solemnly, "Don't worry, little uncle, I promise to abide by the law, pay taxes where I should, and don't sleep where I shouldn't!" "Get lost, you're talking nonsense."

Lu Guotao waved his hand.

"Let's talk business. Since Huaying Film Studio is interested in your next movie, we won't force you.

But you also agreed before that it would be a trilogy to be filmed for our station, and the television broadcasting rights for this last part should still be reserved for our station.

The money may not be as much as The Shallows, but you will not be treated unfairly. After all, you are a director who came out of our movie channel.”

At this moment, Wang Hao truly felt his uncle's care and love for him, and immediately stood up.

"Thank you, uncle!"

"You, sit down, stop doing this nonsense, and just focus on filming.

I'll ask the station to arrange an exclusive interview with you when "The Shallows" is released. Since it's going to be on the big screen, you should at least make your name known first.

I have also discussed the issue of Buried with the teachers at your school. This year’s deadline has passed, so I think it should be no problem to get an award at the College Student Film Festival next year.”

Lu Guotao talked a lot, and finally asked:
"By the way, do you have any questions about your new film? Is the script ready?"

Wang Hao shook his head.

"The script has been written, but this time we may need more preparation. The story of the new movie takes place in Shanghai, so we will have to go there to shoot the scenes."

"Magic City? Are you planning to make a big scene?" Lu Guotao looked surprised.

"That's right. The new movie is the last in the 'Heart Labyrinth' series, but this time it's not a one-man show. There will be chases and gunfights in the big city. It's a blockbuster anyway, and it's a rare type of movie in mainland China nowadays."

Wang Hao was talking to his uncle about the new movie, and they were having a particularly pleasant chat.

Towards the end, Wang Hao finally talked about the purpose of his visit and asked the other party about the character of Uncle Han from Huaying.

"You!"

Lu Guotao pointed at him, recalled for a while, and then said cautiously:

"I have heard of your Uncle Han. After all, we are both in the film industry and we have dealt with each other before.

This guy has vision and is capable, but he is a little too strong. He knows his limits, and with your old man's connections, I don't think there will be any problems."

After hearing what his uncle said, Wang Hao was completely relieved.

Although he had heard of Mr. Han Sanye, the "Mountain Eagle" of the Chinese film and television industry in his previous life, he had only heard of him and had never seen him.

Although Mr. Han San had behaved very amicably during the previous contact with the other party, he was still a little unsure in his heart. After all, that person was one of the most powerful people he had ever met.

Now he has learned some new information from his uncle. After verification from many parties, he has a certain understanding of this person. When he goes to discuss cooperation with the other party later, he will have a plan.

After getting the information he wanted, Wang Hao said goodbye and left the movie channel.

In the following days, apart from occasionally visiting Hualong Digital to watch the production of the special effects of "The Shallows", he would go to the Beijing Film Academy campus to find Director Tian Zhuang, the director of the directing department, and busy himself with his postgraduate studies.

Yes, under Director Tian's care, he finally decided to study as a graduate student.

Of course, that is on the premise that he can pass the exam.

Although he had a relationship with Director Tian, ​​he still had to go through formal examinations and re-examinations before he could become a graduate student at Beijing Film Academy.

Fortunately, after his soul traveled through time and space and was reborn, his memory is far superior to that of ordinary people. I think if he prepares in advance, there shouldn't be any big problems.
