Investing in a movie, it's not difficult to say, as long as you have money!

However, the purpose of investment is to make profits, and it is impossible to invest in every project.

There has to be prior research.

To understand the profit and loss prospects of the project, at least it depends on the cast lineup and the director.

The three of them went to find Cai Yinong...

Lao Cai is okay to make TV, but it's a complete mess to make movies, "Spring Breeze Proud Westgate Town", "Suspicious and Suspicious", "Beautiful Mandheling", none of them are blockbusters...

Word of mouth doesn't work either!

simply focused on making TV, and later Li Yiping became the owner of Tang Ren, so she took a back seat and became an artist agent or the like.

"I don't know much about the market, but I can call Song Hang and ask him to give you some advice. ”

After listening to the truth of the matter over the phone, Song Hang analyzed: "Hong Kong-style martial arts films are in decline, and Bona who is closest to the Hong Kong circle does not dare to do martial arts casually, and such a good film as "Di Renjie" has sold less than 200 million, which shows that the market is not very willing to eat martial arts!"

"Then why do you want to do the light?"

"They don't have any good choices, they are different from us, we are the company to provide the project, and then find the director to direct, they are the director brings his own project, looking for the producer to invest, Chen Jiashang wants to shoot "The Four Famous Catches", and the light wants to cooperate with him, so he invested..."

After a pause, Song Hang continued: "I heard that because of the fact that Guangguang is going to go public, the original director in charge of the film project seems to be leaving... It's a lot of chaos inside!"

There's no, it's true, the light was listed at the beginning, and I didn't think about the light movies under it, but the CSRC hopes that the light listing is an overall listing!

Zhang Zhao, as the founder and person in charge of Light Pictures, definitely doesn't want the business he is in charge of to become part of the whole.

The specific situation is not clear, anyway, Zhang Zhao later joined LeTV.

It was only at this time that Wang Changtian began to go out of the mountain and personally take the helm of Light Pictures!

"Generally speaking, when there is internal chaos, we are not very optimistic about the projects that are born..."

Song Hang made a concluding speech.

Without waiting for Liu Shishi to ask, Song Hang added: "And our company has enough projects of its own, so there is no need to stare at the things on other people's plates." ”

"What do you think of the project's profit prospects?"

"I can't say for sure, after all, I haven't seen the script, but based on the consistent performance of the director and the genre, I don't think 150 million is a big problem, and if there is no strong opponent in the same period, maybe there will be more than 180 million..."

"Thank you, Lao Song, I have time to invite you to dinner!"

"I didn't help much..."

Hanging up the phone, Cai Yinong: "Understood." ”

Yang Xiaomi shook her head and asked confusedly, "He didn't say that he wouldn't let us invest..."

"It's not clear enough, he means 'not optimistic, not recommended!'"

“... Didn't he say 180 million?"

"The cost is 60 million, 180 million box office, that is also called investment film?

......

"If you want to become famous, you must have a financial master"

This is the words of the late Qing Dynasty and the Republic of China, and it is not outdated until now.

If you want to be popular and famous, first you have to get resources, and there are big donors who are willing to spend money to support you.

As long as the money is in place and the resources are complete, even if you have never acted, they can tailor the script and role for you.

In this industry, the general practitioners lack cultural and educational level, the vision is not high, the management is chaotic, and it is not a basic industry related to the national economy and people's livelihood, so there are no transparent rules!

Of course, if you want to go to the next level, you need a chance - you have to be a piece of material more or less.

Jiang Yiyan decided that she was a piece of jade, so with the blessing of the cake shop owner, her resources soared...

In the eight years from 2000 to 2008, as an actor, Architect Jiang only had 3 movies and 6 TV series, and most of them played soy sauce roles.

After 2009, the rocket climbed, and in 2009 alone, it took over 4 movies and 1 TV series, including "Nanjing! Nanjing!".

The actors who have cooperated with them have also begun to jump to the front line of Hong Kong, Macao and Taiwan, among which there are many actors: Liu Qingyun, Zhang Jiahui, Guo Fucheng, Huang Bo, Chen Kun...

It was a good walk on the road of stamp collecting!

It's a pity that the owner of the cake shop is only a billion-level financier, and when the Internet bigwigs enter the game, this amount of money is completely insufficient.

20 million with capital group...

My big sweet shot is 30 million, and the unit is a knife!

But in Yang Xiaomi's opinion, it is still quite high, especially when she inquired about the preparation of "The Four Famous Catches" for three consecutive films, with an investment of nearly 200 million...

What is that 30% of the money?

60 million...

Can't take it out...

Yang Xiaomi's current salary for filming a TV series is about 8 million, and the salary for movies is a little lower, about 1.5 million, commercial endorsements, activities...

Anyway, the annual income is less than 20 million;

Liu Shishi is a little less than her, and she only became popular at the end of last year, so she earns even less...

Although they didn't spend much money, their basic expenses were not small, and each of them had at least three houses to support.

As for Tang Yan...

That's also a person who has no money!

Therefore, Liu Shishi said 13 million, and Yang Xiaomi was surprised.

Because... The company doesn't have that much money on its books...,

So what to do?

Find someone to borrow!

Shen Mengxi is communicating with Meng Xiaojing, which can be regarded as an exclusive interview.

During this time, there was a lot of news surrounding him:

"The Hunt" is currently being shortlisted for the main competition unit in Cannes, and his last directorial "Manchester by the Sea" won the Grand Jury Prize, can this year's "The Hunt" go further;

"The Great Wall", what kind of movie can be named "The Great Wall"?

Matt is cute and Da Tiantian is obviously not enough to fight monsters on the Great Wall!

As Chinese, the Great Wall represents the wisdom and indomitable strength of the Chinese nation, and also represents the unity of the Chinese nation to resist foreign enemies!

That's why the March of the Volunteers has the phrase 'Build our new Great Wall'...

"The movie "Hunting" is quite simple, it is the story of a good man who was wronged, and how dazzling drove a person to death... To paraphrase an online saying: when there is an avalanche, no snowflake is innocent!"

"At Cannes this year, I think I have the opportunity to win the Palme d'Or... Because the president of the jury this year is Robert De Niro, he should have a lot of ideas for films like "The Hunt", but it also depends on whether there are strong opponents. ”

"Opponents?"

"Yes, I've heard from our cinematographer, Emmanuel Lubezki, about The Tree of Life, a work that counter-narratives and relies purely on images to tell the story, and I'm looking forward to it..."

After a pause, Shen Mengxi continued: "Moreover, I'm worried that Leonardo performed too well and won the Best Actor, and then my Golden Palm will be lost!"

"Haha, I wish you success. ”

"Thank you..."

"What about The Great Wall?"

"This project started out as a monster movie, but it was set on the Great Wall, so they were going to name it "The Great Wall"...... The whole story is similar to "The Mummy 3", the old foreigners come to China to help the Chinese fight monsters, and by the way, roll the sheets with the Chinese actress!"

"After I watched it, I couldn't accept it at all, the Hollywood screenwriters really didn't understand anything about China, they didn't understand what the Great Wall represented in the hearts of the Chinese..."
