Entertainment: God-level director

The celebration banquet was held at the Marriott Hotel.

When Lin Ran arrived, the banquet hall was already very busy.

《The main actors Gu Linaza, Ju Jingyi, Peng Yuchang, executive producer Xu Bo, deputy director Liu Hongfei, photographer Zhao Fei and other core creatives behind the scenes were all present.

In addition, there are also special guests Tong Liya, Wu Gang, Ranmeng Pictures CEO Wang Ziwen, and the person in charge of the distributor.

Everyone was chatting in groups, and everyone had a smile on their face, looking particularly happy.

Also,"Genius Gunslinger" is a big seller, and everyone involved in the project will receive rich rewards.

"Director Lin"

"Brother Ran"

"Lin Ran, you are here."

Seeing Lin Ran arrive, everyone immediately gathered around and greeted Lin Ran one after another.

"I'm here to attend the celebration banquet today, so you're all welcome."

Lin Ran said with a smile, and then waved his hand, indicating that everyone should continue.

"Lin Ran, this is Mr. Fan, CEO of Alibaba Entertainment."

Wang Ziwen pulled Lin Ran and introduced a middle-aged man to him.

The CEO of Alibaba Entertainment came in person?

Lin Ran was stunned for a moment. He had thought that this man was Taopiao Piao, the joint publisher (there was one in the previous article) There was a clerical error. Taopiaopiao was written as a cat's eye, but it cannot be changed after 24 hours. Please forgive me.) Representatives sent to attend the celebration banquet

"I didn't expect Mr. Fan to come here, and I'm honored. Lin

Ran shook hands with Fan Luyuan and said with a smile.

"Director Lin was polite.

Fan Luyuan smiled and praised:"The first theater movie directed by Director Lin has a box office of 1 billion. He is really young and promising.""

"Mr. Fan deserves the award."

Lin Ran kept a humble smile on his face.

Seeing this, Fan Lu nodded secretly in his heart and took a higher look at Lin Ran.

He has seen many talented young people, but if he can be so humble with talent, then Very few.

Thinking that within a few years, this guy and Ranmeng Pictures will become a force that cannot be underestimated,

Fan Luyuan said directly:

"Director Lin, the entertainment industry is the next industry that Alibaba will focus on investing in.

So we spent US$5.6 billion to acquire Youku Tudou and then established a large entertainment group.

Among the major entertainment groups, there are three carriages: one is video, the second is Taopiaopiao, and the third is Alibaba Pictures."

Lin Ran listened silently and did not answer.

"Now both video and Taopiaopiao are developing very well and are industry giants.

As Alibaba Pictures starts up, it will receive key support and invest in many movies.……"

Having said this, Fan Luyuan paused deliberately and looked at Lin Ran.

In Fan Luyuan's mind, he thought that Lin Ran's eyes would light up when he heard this, and he would take the initiative to please him.

There is no way, the cost of making movies is getting higher and higher.

A small production without big stars and big scenes can easily cost tens of millions.

And if you want to shoot a real blockbuster, it will be calculated in hundreds of millions.

Even if Lin Ran proved his ability with"Genius Gunslinger", in the future, he will definitely need to attract investment from all over the world to shoot blockbusters.

Didn’t you see that there are often seven, eight, or even more than ten producers and distributors of a movie now, just to spread the risk.

However, Lin Ran just nodded lightly after hearing this.

What Fan Luyuan thinks is right for ordinary people.

Unfortunately, he met a time traveler

"Director Lin, you have talent, we have funds, and we can definitely have in-depth cooperation."

Seeing that Lin Ran was indifferent, Fan Luyuan felt a little depressed and could only continue talking to himself.

"What kind of in-depth cooperation?"Lin Ran finally spoke.

"Alibaba Entertainment Group made a strategic investment in Ranmeng Pictures."

After finishing speaking, Fan Luyuan just stared at Lin Ran.

Lin Ran still had a faint smile on his face, very calm.

No wonder Fan Luyuan came to the celebration banquet in person.

This is a drunkard who doesn't care about wine.

He can get it. Alibaba's investment is a good thing that many domestic Internet companies want, but Lin Ran secretly shook his head.

Alibaba will indeed focus on investing in large entertainment groups in the next few years, but Lin Ran is very unhappy with Alibaba Entertainment's actions. Style.

Because Alibaba Entertainment typically uses the so-called Internet thinking to create entertainment content!

The so-called Internet thinking is actually about traffic.

In other words, the focus of Alibaba Entertainment’s investment in film and television dramas is not whether the creative team is reliable. , I don’t care if there is a good story.

I just care about whether there is attention-grabbing traffic, and whether the superficial data looks good.

As a director, Lin Ran strongly disagrees with this creative model.

"Mr. Fan, I'm sorry, Ranmeng Pictures is not short of funds right now."

Lin Ran pretended to think for a moment, then shook his head.

"Um?"

Fan Luyuan didn't expect Lin Ran to refuse directly, and was a little surprised.

After all, he was an old fox in the mall, and then his face returned to calm, with a confident smile:

"Director Lin, don’t you want to know how much we value your company?"
