Chapter 271: Cooperation

Fame is very easy to realize, the last time He Xin and his girlfriend went to see the house together, although both of them were wearing big masks, they were noticed by the developer for the first time.

Then a set of three-bedroom and two-living room houses with a good location and floors, with a total price of more than 2.5 million, erase the fraction, and the whole number of two million transactions, the only requirement of the developer is to publicize it in a small range of target customer groups, such as Liu Huaqiang and heartthrobs to build a love nest here, which is enough to make this real estate a grade in the same category.

After returning to the capital, in addition to going to school, He Xin and Ning Hao's studio is also being prepared. The so-called studio is still relatively rare in the entertainment industry at this time. There are generally two forms, affiliated with large companies or individuals working alone.

He Xin and Ning Hao's Xinghao Studio, which is a partnership in accordance with the proportion of June Fourth, is a self-employed person with two shares in terms of industry and commerce.

Sister Hong was very nervous when she heard the news, and thought that He Xin was a prelude to planning to fly solo. For this reason, He Xin talked to her and said that the cooperation with Sister Hong was very pleasant, and he hoped to continue to cooperate in the future. As for the studio, it is still the same as the bag company in Hong Kong, which is to make movies. This dispelled Sister Hong's concerns, and at the same time handed over all the complicated procedures for opening a studio to her, and the office address was temporarily placed in He Xin's current residence in Tuanjiehu.

mentioned to Ning Hao about cooperation with Bona before, He Xin considered that Yu Dong only put forward a concept before, and did not go deeper, so he decided to slow down first, and wait for the other party to take the initiative to come to the door again, otherwise it would seem that he was too on the pole, which would be unfavorable to the negotiation of future cooperation.

Besides, Ning Hao is still revising the script, and the grassland will enter the cold winter in two months, and the start of filming will have to wait at least until April and May next year, and there is no hurry.

So going to school has become He Xin's most urgent task at present, although Teacher Chang Li does not make specific requirements for him, and considering that he has taken on another play, he is not included in the list of big plays to be arranged in the class this semester.

But He Xin is still very conscious, he knows that what he lacks most at present is basic skills, so he rushed to school early every morning and joined the team to practice morning exercises.

Open your voice, move your body, practice your voice, practice your breath, practice your mouth, practice your lines, babbling every day, 800 pacesetters running to the north slope, black fertilizer will play, etc., and then it is survival or destruction, this is indeed a question! Why are those golden eyes looking at me under her gold-dusted eyelids?

This is completely different from the movie lines, which are more about the characters through expressions and eyes, and the lines are often weakened. But stage plays are the opposite, requiring a lot of lines to portray characters, unfold the plot, and reflect conflicts, and the lines are often more high-pitched and exaggerated. The only thing that is roughly the same is that they all have to enter the characters and put into full feelings.

Of course, He Xin's joining the team to practice morning gong caused quite a stir at the beginning, and the juniors and sisters in his freshman and sophomore years were both welcoming and curious about him, and there were actually many people asking him for autographs, including the thin bamboo pole that looked like Zhuo Yifan.

The teachers also took the opportunity to take him as a model and warned their students that popular stars like He Xin are still demanding themselves with high standards, and you need to work harder, and the opportunity is to come to the prepared mind.

In addition to practicing the basics, he devoted the rest of his time to studying the script of the play.

He plays Chen Fei, a combat hero who once suffered a serious gunshot wound, and his partner was accidentally killed during a mission, and he became a suspect, and because of the recurrence of the gunshot wound, he not only suffered physically, but also had a serious anxiety disorder. Then he was "hung up" again at work and treated by a psychiatrist. In order to maintain the justice of the law and find out the truth about the murder of his comrades-in-arms, he decided to fight alone......

The character design, storyline, and beautiful female psychiatrist are very similar to some popular online dramas in later generations?

This kind of theme will not be outdated even if it is more than ten or twenty years later!

And it is such a character who is fighting alone, and at the same time suffering from physical and psychological injuries, to show it requires a strong explosiveness similar to that of a stage play, which coincides with the weakest link in his performance that he is now filling, which makes him feel eager to try.

......

"Hey, Director Guo......"

"It's time to boot, isn't it...... Oh, early December, so which one?"

"Okay, Chengde Public Security Bureau, I'll set the time myself......"

"Okay, I know, I'll be over about half a month early. Oh yes, Director Guo, the role of Hu Jianguo ......"

"Okay, thank you Director Guo...... Well, goodbye!"

In the teahouse box, He Xin hung up the phone.

It was half a month longer than the original plan to start the machine, and in addition, Guo Jingyu helped him arrange it at the public security bureau in his hometown of Chengde, mainly considering that the capital is the best place after all, and the probability of vicious cases is relatively low.

There is also the fact that since the filming, Li Mengnan has been idle and has nothing to do, and now this product has become a single again, which seems to be a bit self-defeating, and he will drink with him every once in a while.

He Xin saw that he was always so idle, so he asked Guo Jingyu to help him find a role in this play, and made a cameo appearance as his partner Hu Jianguo, who was killed in the play, with two episodes without many scenes, but fortunately, the price was good, 10,000 yuan per episode, a total of 20,000 yuan.

In fact, with Li Mengnan's current market, acting in a TV series is about five or six thousand yuan per episode, and the producer offered this price, basically for the sake of his face.

When this thing was divorced, except for his beloved second-hand jeep, he was almost out of the house. There are a few thousand dollars left on him, there are not many filming roles, and the salary is very limited, if he doesn't live in Hao Rong's old house now, maybe even the rent will be a problem, and it can just alleviate his embarrassing brokerage situation during this time.

He Xin shook his head, didn't think about the bullshit for the time being, and smiled at Yu Dong, who was sitting opposite and had finished reading the script, and apologized.

Yu Dong waved his hand, indicating that he didn't care, skillfully picked up a small pot, poured two cups, and made a gesture of please: "Drink tea!"

"Good!"

He Xin answered, picked up the cup and drank it directly. The tea seemed to be lukewarm but not hot, but when it went down the throat, it exploded in the stomach with excitement, and the stomach was warm.

"How?"

The other party asked with a smile when he looked at him.

"Good tea!"

He Xin couldn't help but give a thumbs up.

This teahouse is Yu Dongding's place, whether it is the environment or the quality of the service far exceeds the several teahouses he frequented before, the grade is different, and even the quality of the tea is superior.

"Haha!"

Yu Dong laughed and drank it himself.

Then the topic returned to the topic, he pointed to the script he had just finished reading and put on the table and asked, "How are you going to operate this project?"

"We want to be on the right track. ”

Yu Dong nodded.

In one sentence, you can understand the other party's intentions.

The way for a film to get on the right track is to find a company with production qualifications to set up a project, submit the script to the relevant departments for review, get the shooting permit after the review, and then shoot and produce the film. After the production is completed, the film is submitted to the relevant departments for review again, and only after the review can the distribution license and public screening license be obtained. The public release license is commonly known as the dragon mark.

Only when you get the dragon mark can it be released in China. For example, He Xin's previous shooting, this kind of thing only got a shooting license, not a dragon mark, so it can only be distributed overseas. As for this kind of non-certary, it is a typical "three-no product" and "underground movie", and it is not even qualified to apply for the Dragon Standard.

In the past, it was very difficult to set up a project, because the state stipulated that only thirteen domestic film studios were eligible for film shooting, and if you wanted to apply for a shooting license, you first had to buy the factory logo from the film studio, for example, the factory logo of Beijing Film Studio.

However, since last year's reform, this article has been liberalized, and many private film companies have obtained film production qualifications, similar to Huayi, New Pictures, etc., and Yudong's Bona culture is also one of them. However, at this time, Bona has completed the merger and acquisition with Oriental Shenlong Film Company, a subsidiary of Poly Group, and has officially changed its name to Poly Bona.

Therefore, He Xin said that to operate in the right way, you must first find a company with film production qualifications to cooperate, and then you can apply for a shooting license. Of course, Poly Bona, which now combines the production rights and distribution rights, is naturally a good partner.

"How big is the scale of your investment in this project?" then Yu Dong asked again.

Hey, shouldn't you talk about the script first after reading the script, why do you come up and ask about investment?

He Xin couldn't help but be stunned for a moment.

Seeing this, Yu Dong smiled and said: "This book is good, it suddenly reminds me of the blue sky, the clear lake, the green grassland, ......"

Yu Dong actually hummed a few words of the song of Mr. Tenggol, which was very popular two years ago.

Then he said: "Our company is very willing to cooperate with you, so I would like to ask what is the scale of investment?"

According to Ning Hao's previous calculations, this film was shot according to film, and it was estimated that it would have a budget of 1.4 million, which would not exceed 1.5 million, but at this time, for the sake of insurance, He Xin raised two fingers a little embarrassedly and said: "According to our preliminary estimate, it is about two million." ”

As soon as his words fell, he heard Yu Dongdao: "No problem, our company has invested in this project." ”

Hey, how do you say that you voted for it?

He Xin was stunned again, originally his idea was that it was best to attract some investment, and then the production and distribution would be in charge of Bona; if Yu Dong was not optimistic about this project, then he could only invest by himself, but the production and distribution still needed to cooperate with Bona.

"Then our studio ......"

"Oh, look at this, this project is invested by our company, and your Xinghao Studio invests in the script and director, accounting for 10% of the share, what do you think?" Yu Dong continued.

"Well, I mean our studio wants to cast some points too. He Xin hesitated.

In fact, he also has Xiao Jiujiu in his heart, from his cooperation with Ning Hao, he has both paid and acted, and through Lao Guan's relationship, he not only went to the Hong Kong International Film Festival but also went to Venice, and he took this sixty percent of the peace of mind.

But different, the script directors are all Ning Hao's, if the script and director are shareholders according to what Yu Dong said, then he has nothing to do. Although he is a shareholder in the name of the studio, he also accounts for sixty percent of the studio's share, so it stands to reason that he will not suffer, but this is difficult to guarantee that Ning Hao will not have an idea, and at the same time, he also feels unhappy in his heart.

It's just that his words made Yu Dong stunned for a moment, very few celebrities will take out their hard-earned money in real money these days, and they usually look for local tyrants for financing to reduce risks.

For example, as Xu Guangtou was the director and starring, Zhenle Dao, as a co-producer, launched a movie with Guangguang, invested 40 million, he didn't pay a penny, the director and the starring actor were paid, and at the same time enjoyed 10% profit sharing. This is called drought and flood protection, even if the movie loses money, he has nothing to lose, at most there is no dividend.

It's just that I didn't expect to break the box office record in the end, and the light not only got a profit of 400 million, but the stock price even rose by 64% at the peak.

In addition to the 10 million salary of the director and the leading actor, Xu Guangtou only got a dividend of 10% of the net profit and 40 million.

It's just the second time he learned to be obedient, and Zhenle Dao and Guangguang are the producers again, this time Zhenle Dao still didn't pay a penny, but just converted the remuneration of the screenwriter, director and starring into an investment, and enjoyed the right to 47.5% of the net box office income of the movie box office.

Then before it was released, Xu Guangtou sold the 47.5% of the income rights to 21 Holdings at a price of 150 million, which is equivalent to a net profit of 150 million without spending a penny.

The later box office was as high as 1.613 billion, and if calculated according to Xu Guangtou's previous 47.5% income rights, at least 250 million could be shared, and on the surface, Xu Guangtou lost money. But don't forget that 21 Holdings is the predecessor of Huanxi Media, Xu Guangtou replaced 19% of the shares with 150 million, becoming the second largest shareholder after 21 Holdings changed its name to Huanxi Media. As the stock market has risen, his 19% stake was worth HK$1.8 billion at the end of 2015.

Regardless of the series of operations behind Xu Guangtou, the key is that Xu Guangtou has never taken out a penny of real money from beginning to end.

So when He Xin proposed that the studio should also invest a little, Yu Dong was very surprised, and couldn't help but say: "You are so optimistic about this project?"

For Yu Dong, the company completed the venture capital of overseas capital in the first half of the year, and now it has reached a cooperation with Poly, it is the time to be high-spirited and roll up his sleeves to do a big job, two million is a small case for him, even if it is a loss, it doesn't matter, he just wants to be able to bind the combination of He Xin and Ning Hao through this cooperation.

To take an inappropriate example, this collaboration is probably equivalent to Poly Bona's venture capital investment in He Xin and Ning Hao's Xinghao Studio.

Of course, Xinghao Studio is willing to come up with money, and for Yu Dong, it couldn't be better, in addition to sharing risks, they can also make this movie more carefully.

"Well, it's not about whether it's good or not, it's just that we have confidence in our work. He Xin had no choice but to bite the bullet.

In addition to proving his existence, he wants to invest in another layer of consideration, after all, there is another film behind Ning Hao, if he still follows the script and director as an investment and occupies 10% of the share, it will be too much loss.

Set up the benchmark first so that you can operate it later.

"So how much do you want to vote?"

"800,000! ”

This figure was discussed with Ning Hao before He Xinlai came, and 200,000 yuan as a screenwriter and director fee is more in line with Ning Hao's current "skyrocketing" value that has just won an award at the Venice Film Festival.

"Half?"

Yu Dong frowned with a deep groan.

He Xin also thought that the other party was dissatisfied with the conditions he offered, so he said: "Mr. Yu, how much do you think we can offer?"

In fact, what makes Yu Dong unhappy is half of this share, thinking that he is dignified Poly Bona, doing tens of millions of business, how can he be on an equal footing with a small studio?

As I said just now, he didn't care whether the project was profitable or losing from the beginning, the most important thing was to take a fancy to these two people. But he has to take the lead on the project because it's a matter of face.

"In this way, you pay 500,000, and we will open it in 64. ”

"This ......"

If according to the standard proposed by He Xin before, if June Fourth is opened, then the studio will have to invest 600,000 yuan, and the price of 500,000 yuan is obviously Yu Dong's concession.

This made He Xin very embarrassed, but thinking of the back, he still wanted to fight for it.

It's just that before he could open his mouth, he saw Yu Dong waving his hand and said: "Xiaohe, this is not negotiable, our Poly Bona must take the lion's share, otherwise it won't sound good to spread out!"

"That'...... Then I'll go back and discuss it with Haozi. He Xin had no choice but to say.

"Okay, then I'll wait for good news. Yu Dong said with a smile.

picked up the small pot and poured two cups of tea, and while tasting the tea, he said with a smile: "Xiaohe, it stands to reason that an actor like you shouldn't talk about business with a copper-smelling businessman like me, and Director Ning, you are all very talented people, otherwise you would have cooperated with our company." ”

"This ...... Mr. Yu, you know that my agent is Sister Hong. ”

Yu Dong shook his head and smiled: "I don't want to dig the corner of Sister Hong, in fact, I can carry out in-depth cooperation with your studio in the future." ”

“......”

Although Yu Dong said it implicitly, He Xin still understood that the so-called in-depth cooperation can be carried out in the future, and the project that the two sides want to cooperate on this time can be understood as an exam, and if the exam is passed, then you can cooperate in depth. And this in-depth cooperation is probably to invest in the studio, and completely bind him and Ning Hao to the big ship of Poly Bona.

It's just that he can't answer this question yet, and he can't answer this question without discussing it with Ning Hao and considering it holistically.
