216 Make a movie

"Making a movie?!"

Chen Xiu was a little surprised and said, "Does our company have the strength to make movies now?"

Xiashan Leopard smiled bitterly and said: "Second brother, although I follow the stupid brother every day, but I don't know anything about business, you better go in and ask the stupid brother in person." ”

The leopard helped push open the door, and as soon as Chen Xiu entered, the stupid brother beckoned and shouted: "Brother, come here, I'll introduce you to the two big directors and screenwriters." ”

I saw two people sitting opposite the stupid brother, one of them was a fat man in his fifties, with a lewd look on his face when he smiled, Chen Xiu only felt very familiar, as if he had seen it there, and the other was a middle-aged man in his forties, with thick black-framed glasses.

"Brother, this is the great director of Hong Kong Island - Mr. Wang Xing. ”

Chen Xiu thought about it all of a sudden, no wonder he felt that this person's face was familiar, it turned out to be him!

This Wang Xing is a famous director of diapers on Hong Kong Island in the 80s and 90s!

The so-called feces and diapers are movies that have no depth, all of them are jokes about feces and urine that are not nutritious, and sometimes he himself plays a lewd little fat man in his own movies, so Chen Xiucai feels that his face is familiar.

"Chen Xiansen, Lei is good, he is young and promising!" Wang Xing took the initiative to shake hands with Chen Xiu with a standard Guangpu.

"Thunder is good, thunder is good!"

Chen Xiu also learned from his tone and said with a smile: "Director Wang, speaking of which, I still owe you a lot of movie tickets, I grew up watching your movies when I was a child." ”

What Chen Xiu said is also true, when he was in junior high school and high school, it was really the era of rapid development of the Internet, and there were websites with D version movies everywhere on the Internet.

"Haha...... I also made movies when I was a kid, and we all grew up together!"

Wang Xing probably met many people who told him like this, but he coped with it easily.

After Chen Xiu and Wang Xing got to know each other, the stupid brother introduced the black-rimmed glasses man again, "This one is the big screenwriter - Mr. Ge Peng." Mr. Ge is a big screenwriter who has won international awards, like the Mauritius Film Festival and the Bhutan International Film Festival, Mr. Ge has won awards softly. ”

At the beginning, Chen Xiu heard that Brother Silly introduced him as a big screenwriter, Chen Xiu was still muttering in his heart, why had he never heard of the name Ge Peng, and then he heard about any Mauritian movies.

Lie down, this is not a pheasant award!

It's completely for ten yuan to go to Taobao to buy a kind of award, and by the way, free shipping.

No wonder I hadn't heard his name.

After the three of them got to know each other, they sat down, and the stupid brother also said directly, "Brother, I asked you to come over this time to talk about the movie, this time our company is ready to invest 100 million to make a big production, please Mr. Wang Xing as the director, Mr. Ge Peng as the screenwriter, you come to listen to our script story and shooting techniques, and give advice." ”

"100 million is a big production?"

Chen Xiu said puzzledly: "I watch entertainment news, and the current big production is an investment of hundreds of millions at every turn!"

The stupid brother smiled and didn't explain, and looked at Wang Jing with a little meaning.

"Mr. Chen, don't you know that the propaganda methods of our film industry are all exaggerated, this is the same as fighting in ancient times, and it is known as a million army at every turn, like Cao Cao in the Three Kingdoms when he really confronted Sun and Liu against Chibi, and a million people standing on the Yangtze River can cut off the water!"

As soon as he heard Wang Jing say this, Chen Xiu also understood, no wonder he watched some recently filmed movies, all of them claimed to be hundreds of millions, billions of investments, but when he went to see them, it was a five-cent stunt, which was not known where the money was spent.

Chen Xiu knew that he didn't understand the entertainment industry, let alone movies, so he didn't talk much at the moment, so he only asked Ge Peng to tell the movie script, and Wang Jing said on the side what kind of plot he would use to shoot.

The story of the movie is very simple and old-fashioned, that is, the little thing about college students falling in love, and then all kinds of breakups and abortions, anyway, it's not a love movie.

After Ge Peng and Wang Xing finished the story of the movie, the silly brother smiled and asked, "Brother, what do you think of this movie?"

Chen Xiu glanced at Ge Peng and the two opposite, and stopped talking. Wang Xing and Ge Peng are also old rivers and lakes, and they know the sophistication of people, so they got up and said: "Mr. Li, Mr. Chen, we have an important date later, let's leave first!"

When the stupid brother sent the two out of the office, Chen Xiucai spread his hands and said, "Silly brother, I don't understand the things of the movie." However, if you ask a second-rate director and a third-rate screenwriter to write an old-fashioned youth love movie story, this 100 million yuan will be invested, and it is estimated that you will make a fourth-rate movie, and it is estimated that you will owe it!"

"Haha......"

The silly brother laughed for a long time, nodded and said, "Brother, you're right, but this is a movie that is heading for a new low-rated record." ”

Chen Xiu said puzzledly: "Then you still let the two of them ...... choreographer"

"The main thing is that the two of them are cheap!" said the stupid brother helplessly: "The two of them add up to less than two million fees." ”

Now Chen Xiu was even more puzzled.

"Silly brother, aren't we going to invest 100 million yuan into the movie? You can spend 10 million or 20 million to buy a good script and hire a better director, it's not that I said that director Wang Jing can't do it, I also like the Fengyue films he used to shoot on Hong Kong Island, and they are all my enlightened teachers.

However, he is used to shooting that kind of diapers, and if he makes this kind of youth film for the first time, he may have to hit the street!"

"It is said that it is 100 million, but in fact, the funds we can invest in making movies are less than 20 million, and about 10 million advertising expenses and 2 million screenwriter and director fees will be deducted from the 20 million, and the real investment in film shooting is 8 million. ”

The silly brother said helplessly: "I have done an analysis of the film market, and now if you want to make money, you must invite traffic stars, but we have made a science and education film, as long as the poster says that a certain little fresh meat starring, it can fool fans into entering the cinema."

However, small fresh meat and small flowers are not cheap.

Generally speaking, the asking price of a movie is 50 million, and the popular Xiaohua is also about 30 million. ”

Now Chen Xiu understands why the "Fortress" he watched before is known as a big-budget movie of more than one billion, and the whole process is a five-cent stunt to fight aliens, which is not as good as the CG animation at the beginning of the online game, and it turns out that most of this money is given to Xiao Xianrou's salary!

The stupid brother handed a document to Chen Xiu from the table.

"You see, this is the investigative report of the recent fresh meat movie. As long as there are movies starring Xiao Xianrou, you can basically make money. Our company has also done an investigation, if we can ask the now popular little fresh meat Han Lu to shoot our movie, the box office is conservatively estimated to be about 300 million, in addition to the production cost, in addition to the theater share, should be able to earn 100 million!"
