For Deng Yue's project, Su Yu didn't approach his Uncle Wang or Uncle Li; instead, he directly sought out Ren Nanbei.
After some discussion, the three parties signed the contract that very day, and the first round of startup funds was directly deposited into Deng Yue's studio account.
This made Deng Yue feel like he had truly followed the right big shot.
If it had been Jusha Entertainment before, how could it have agreed to him directing and starring in his own film?
Even if it had agreed, it would never have given such a high share!
Deng Yue, clutching the signed contract, excitedly went back to prepare for the new movie.
Ren Nanbei, on the other hand, stayed behind.
"Teacher Su Yu, the casting for let the bullets fly begins on the 6th. Do you have time to attend? Director Zhang is very much hoping you can come and oversee it."
For Ren Nanbei, his role was simply to be a signing tool for any project Su Yu chose.
What he truly cared about was the big project, let the bullets fly!
It was a major investment project of nearly 200 million, and he was the producer. Ren Nanbei had been feeling the pressure recently.
Although he liked the script very much, he wasn't so overconfident as to believe that the film could sell more than 600 million once it was made.
If he were truly prescient, why would he still be at Tianxing Entertainment? It would be much better to invest and become a capitalist himself.
"It's not good for a screenwriter to be absent for the first time, so I'll go, but please tell Director Zhang that I won't interfere with his casting choices! Let him be at ease."
Su Yu nodded in agreement.
Recently, Zhang Guoshi's lawsuit concluded, similar to Earth, with a fine of nearly eight million.
However, it seemed someone above was helping him, as the news didn't spread widely, and its popularity was quickly suppressed.
Conversely, the former company of the two Zhangs was facing a series of investigations into tax evasion.
This made other entertainment companies feel like they were on pins and needles, fearing that this wind would suddenly blow their way!
Because they weren't clean either.
Su Yu didn't know if Zhang Guoshi had leaked this matter, but even if he had, it was understandable.
After all, how can one repay kindness if one repays evil with kindness? Repaying evil with justice is the correct approach.
Early in the morning of March 3rd, Su Yu and the creative team of beautiful fate arrived at Tianxing Cinema Line's flagship store in Yanjing.
The movie's premiere would also be held here.
And Su Yu was attending this time as a producer.
So when the arriving media reporters saw the producer's nameplate in front of Su Yu's seat, they were all a bit stunned.
They had thought that only Tianxing Entertainment's executives and the creative team would appear today, but they unexpectedly discovered such a huge surprise as Su Yu!
At the Golden Melody Awards, Su Yu took home seven major awards, breaking the record for the most awards won in a single Golden Melody Awards ceremony, and at the same time, he ascended to the ranks of Ace Composer and King of the music scene.
At this moment in the Chinese music scene, who could contend with Su Yu?
These media reporters had long been racking their brains trying to interview Su Yu.
However, after Su Yu returned, he didn't show his face, which made them feel like they had power but nowhere to use it.
And it had already been a day, why hadn't Su Yu's violin piece, night of confession, been released yet?
Everyone was waiting for him to continue bombarding the new song charts!
Just as the premiere began, and countless media reporters wanted to launch a full-scale attack on Su Yu, Su Yu spoke first.
"today, I will only answer questions related to beautiful fate. Please, media friends, do not ask other questions. Let's begin the Q&A!"
Holy cow! When Su Yu uttered these words, the hundreds of media reporters present were all stunned.
Do you have to do this? Are you going to directly block all our avenues from the start?
But what could they do?
If Su Yu hadn't said that, they could indeed have asked other questions without restraint.
But he had laid down the rules beforehand, which made it too difficult.
"Teacher Su Yu, I see you are attending the premiere as a producer. Would you mind telling us about your story with this film?"
A reporter from Tengfei News politely inquired.
She wasn't there to cause trouble; rather, she wanted to see if the movie was worth purchasing the copyright for Tengfei Video after its run.
And upon seeing Su Yu, the thought of "is it worth it" was directly thrown out of her head.
With Su Yu involved, it was definitely worth it!
So, after quickly relaying this news, she asked about a topic that interested her.
If Su Yu could reveal more about the inside story with this movie, then this "story" would be a very good hot topic.
"This goes back to the filming of my new album's music videos. All of my music videos were directed by Director Zhao Xiaolu. At that time, I saw that her directing skills were very high, and her work was very meticulous and responsible. So I asked her if she had any thoughts about directing a movie, and as a result..."
Listening to Su Yu's narration, the reporters present were all bewildered.
Oh my, there really is a story!
And why did they feel that Su Yu was showing a bit of nepotism?
Are you sure it's not because Zhao Xiaolu filmed your music videos and you were satisfied, that you decided to invest in her film?!
Of course, this conclusion would depend on the film's performance.
If the movie's box office was high and its reputation good, then it would be Su Yu's discerning eye, choosing based on merit.
If the box office was dismal and the reputation terrible, then it would be Su Yu's nepotism, no doubt about it.
But why do we feel so bitter?
Big shot Su Yu, please look at us too; we also have a dream of making movies.
How about investing in us?
"Teacher Su Yu, what is your box office expectation for this movie?"
After Su Yu finished recounting the "story," the reporter asked.
Box office is an unavoidable question, but few people would directly state their psychological expectation.
What if it didn't reach it? Wouldn't that be embarrassing?
However, Su Yu was not like that!
"Five hundred million!" Su Yu uttered the number with conviction.
The scene erupted in an uproar.
They even felt that Su Yu was somewhat insane.
You want a box office of 500 million for an romance film like this? Did you forget to take your medicine before leaving home?
You should know that the highest box office for a domestic romance film was only a little over 300 million.
Do you really want to break the box office record for domestic romance films?
Don't think that just because breaking records in the music industry has become a habit for you, you can do the same in the film industry.
Box office is something without much pattern; many movies are critically acclaimed but not commercially successful, with rave reviews but dismal box office.
Even if you have confidence in the movie and the script, you can't control the box office.
However, the initial screening schedule for this beautiful fate was indeed not low, at 27%.
But then again, March and April are off-peak seasons for movies.
And you also have a very strong competitor, the great era 2.
They also have a 26% screening rate!
At this moment, Zhao Xiaolu, Liu Ruyan, and Li Enjun were also startled by Su Yu's 500 million box office prediction.
Because their own box office expectation was actually only 200 million...
