Chapter 1166: Happy Cooperation
The movie "The Insider" went even further than "Horror Live" and "The Defender" in terms of exposing the corruption and darkness of the upper class.
In this way, it is still the box office champion of South Korea's "19 bans" in 2015. Netizens said: This is a banned film in Korean society.
In Hollywood, Leone's "Once Upon a Time in America" (cut from 229 minutes to 139 minutes) and Ridley Scott are the most typical ones.
His films such as "Blade Runner", "Gladiator", "Heavenly Dynasty" and "The Martian" have director's cuts in addition to the theatrical version, and the latter is often more artistic and exciting.
Especially in "Heavenly Dynasty", the theatrical version is very different from the director's cut version.
Only the director's cut version is the most wonderful and perfect version.
Regarding Luo Yingshi's gaffe, Song Jifan seemed to have expected it and shrugged his shoulders slightly.
"This Luo PD can rest assured that he will give the final editing rights to the movie, this is not the first case in your place, and every episode of the feature film of "Please Answer 2007" was personally responsible for Kim Tae-ho PD.
We know a lot about films, and we know what the final editing rights mean to a good director, so these were decided a long time ago. ”
At the very least, in Imperial Entertainment, except for Lee Hyun-cheol, before he understood the filming and editing of the movie and what post-production was all about, everyone else mentioned this with a blank face.
Although Song Ki-bum is very familiar with various businesses in the circle, in the final analysis, he started as an agent, and during his time as a Girls' Generation agent, he drove the members to the set for filming.
The agent has no right to participate in the shooting, at most he stands aside to accompany him, and when it comes to editing and final production, the crew is very confidential.
If you are not aware of the leak, this kind of loss is not something that a broker can compensate.
Therefore, from the very beginning, Lee Hyun-cheol put forward such a proposal at the company meeting, and no one had any objections, and it was directly unanimously approved.
Speaking of this, Song Jifan added another sentence: "If Luo PD doesn't believe us, we can add such a clause to the agreement bookseller on the spot and sign it in black and white." ”
"Ani, no, no, I'm a little out of shape, your company's sincerity is here, I naturally believe it. ”
Luo Yingshi calmed down and directly apologized for his behavior just now.
In fact, if you think about it a little bit, you also know that if you are opposite CJEM, let alone the final editing right, they will not even be able to make a movie.
Sure enough, Kim Tae-ho is right, this company is very new, and because it is new, there is an invisible momentum up and down.
The boss is bold and daring, and his decisive temperament deeply affects everyone here.
It's no wonder that when the employees here mention Lee Hyun-cheol, they don't complain all the time like other office workers, but are full of respect everywhere.
"If Luo PD has no opinion, we can sign the agreement, CJEM has sent someone to carry out the initial discussion, your company agrees to this cooperation, as for the later theatrical release, as well as the distribution of benefits, detailed planning is needed. ”
"Okay, then I don't have a problem with that. ”
Luo Yingshi nodded, there is nothing, it is more practical than the producer to completely delegate power and let himself control a movie.
Although it is a pity that the starring role of this film was fixed from the beginning, but.... Compared with the final editing rights, it is a bit of a trivial.
Song Ki-bum took out a check from his bosom and handed it over.
"There are a total of 4 million US dollars, of which 2.5 million US dollars are converted into 3 billion won, which is the start-up capital for your shooting, and the remaining 1.5 million is your living expenses and daily expenses.
There are also salaries of the crew, as well as spare funds, if it is not enough, you can apply to the company again, and then you can set an application report to explain the reason. ”
Four million dollars, at this time, is close to the level of 5 billion won, such a large amount, I will not give it, and there is no hesitation.
But neither Luo Yingshi nor Song Ki-bum knew that in Lee Hyun-chul's memory, the official investment in the movie "My Girlhood" was over 100 million.
According to the exchange rate, 100 million Taiwan dollars is only more than 20 million RMB, which is more than 3 billion won when converted into South Korean won.
It is not ruled out that the official data given is exaggerated, but the real number must be in between, so thinking about it, the funds approved in the early stage of "My Girlhood" are 3 billion won, which is very stable.
Although he promised to let himself do it, but when he really got this banknote, Luo Yingshi felt that this trust was extremely heavy.
"Four million dollars, I will definitely use the least amount of money to make the most satisfying movie. ”
Luo Yingshi solemnly put the banknotes back in his pocket and kept them properly, with these, at least he could ensure that they would not get into some trouble in the United States because of lack of funds.
"The president and I both know Luo PD's character, in fact, this amount of money is not enough to make the three major stations produce one-third of the investment in an upper-middle level TV series.
The president is not afraid of spending money, if he really wants to be able to really shoot a good movie, he doesn't care about this money. ”
Luo Yingshi nodded, "I understand, although I have said this many times, I still have to say that I am very grateful for this trust, I will complete the task of filming this movie within a month, and the chairman is also in front of me, and I will take the initiative to discuss with him if I have any questions." ”
"Okay~ I'll let the secretary draw up the agreement now, and if I want Luo PD to coordinate the itinerary as soon as possible and go to the United States. ”
In terms of his attitude towards this movie, Song Ki-beom seemed to be more anxious than Lee Hyun-chul, and immediately called the secretary to say a word, asking the other party to go to the legal department to call a lawyer as a witness on the spot.
It's just that this statement of going to the United States as soon as possible made Luo Yingshi frown slightly.
"How long is it as soon as possible?"
"Naturally, the sooner the better, if you can go to the United States tomorrow with the team, the company will immediately book a ticket with Korean Air. ”
Of course, in Song Ki-beom's eyes, there is a more convenient way, and that is to charter a flight directly.
After all, it is impossible for a crew to be formed without dozens of people together.
If the problem of group performances cannot be solved, some trainees from the company will be selected to shoot, and chartering a plane is a more trouble-free shortcut.
Hearing this, Luo Yingshi groaned for a moment, and he felt the eagerness in Song Jifan's tone.
Indeed, if you want to shoot "My Girlhood" in a month, the sooner it passes, the better.
"As long as you have a ticket, you can just let me sign it, and those staff members of my team may have to be divided into batches, and there are also equipment...."
"Oh, that's not a worry, as for the equipment needed for filming, the president has already asked people to help prepare it in the United States. ”
Song Ki-fan smiled, to make a small-budget movie, the equipment needed to be used, Lee Hyun-chul had already called the person in charge of Marvel and pulled out a batch from the factory over there. 2k reading web
