Chapter 200: Funds in place
At night.
Back home.
There are still a lot of things to be busy with, Lin Fengxiao directly went to the live broadcast and pondered about the matter of funds.
If you want to make a movie, the first thing you have to do is funding.
Lin Fengxiao is also a little wealthy, and signed a signing fee of 100 million with Tiansheng, the first batch of 50 million has been obtained, and the rest will be paid monthly together with the gift proceeds.
The live broadcast has been broadcast for more than a month, and the salary has been paid once, during which it coincided with the anchor competition, and the gifts received flew up, plus the daily gifts received and the signing gold balance, and nearly eight million arrived.
Coupled with the 6 million contract signed with OZ when he was professional, the copyright income from the talk show sold to Zhongzhou TV and Youle.com respectively, a total of 20 million.
In total, he earned a total of more than 80 million during this period.
Of course, this is before tax, after deducting taxes and subtracting the company's expenses, now there are only more than 60 million left.
It is said that it is a lot, but if you want to finish filming "Kung Fu", this money is still far away, he has understood the production cost of "Kung Fu", I remember reading reports before, "Kung Fu" cost 170 million to shoot in 03, and it will definitely not be able to go down without 200 million now.
Since he decided to shoot it, he had to shoot this drama to the letter, and he would never accept the shoddy production.
But he only has 60 million, where will the remaining gap of at least 140 million come from?
Looking for a film company or fund to pull investment?
He is a newcomer who has not made a movie yet, and he opens his mouth to be a big production of 200 million, so he is estimated to be regarded as a madman, right?
I simply don't want to ask for it.
Lin Feng thought about it with a smile, and felt that the money could only be made from Wu Youyou.
But he's a big man, he reaches out to ask the little girl for money, it's a shame to think about it, and he can't do this kind of thing to death.
......
"Yoyo, there is a good project that lacks an investor, are you interested in working with me?" Lin Fengxiao dialed the phone and warmly invited, asking for money and shame, but normal business cooperation would be no problem.
"Okay, what project?" Wu Youyou's voice was crisp and seemed to be very happy.
"After the talk show is recorded, I plan to make a movie next, thinking that you are also involved in the film and television industry, why don't we work together?"
"Do you want to make a movie? Yes, what kind of movie are you going to make, and how much does it cost to make?"
"The script has been decided, and the production cost of the action movie is preliminarily estimated...... Two hundred million. ”
There was silence on the other end of the phone for a moment, and then Wu Youyou's somewhat uncertain voice came: "Teacher Lin, what did you just say...... Two hundred million?"
"Yes. ”
"You haven't made a movie before, have you?"
"Yes. ”
"The first test of the water plan to invest 200 million, or is it a preliminary estimate?"
Lin Fengxiao was a little embarrassed to be asked, and said embarrassedly: "Although I haven't filmed yet, believe me, there must be no problem, the funds are not for you to pay alone, I will pay 60 million, and if you can't make up the rest, then find someone else." ”
"You pay 60 million?" Wu Youyou smacked his tongue a little, this must be his entire net worth, he went bankrupt to make a movie, is he out of his mind, or is he full of confidence?
Thinking back on Lin Fengxiao's past achievements, Wu Youyou felt that eighty percent was the latter, he was really confident, thought about it and said seriously: "You just said that the script has been decided, can you let me read the script first and then make a decision?"
"Yes, I'll send it to you right away. Lin Feng smiled and breathed a sigh of relief, if you can read the script, there is hope, you can invest in "Extreme Tracking", Wu Youyou's vision must be fine, and after reading the script, I am not afraid that she will not be moved.
Hanging up the phone, Lin Fengxiao immediately sent the script to Wu Youyou, and then waited patiently while reading the book.
He wanted to restore the original version of this drama as much as possible, and invited other directors to direct him, he was afraid that he would not be able to shoot the original version and would get in the way, so he planned to come by himself and direct and act by himself.
Although he can't direct, he can learn, he has already bought a lot of books related to the director, and after reading it, with the assistance of Wei Zijun, it should be no problem to shoot the movie smoothly.
Time passed little by little, Wu Youyou didn't come to the news for a long time, and Lin Fengxiao was not in a hurry, after all, it was an investment of hundreds of millions, and it was normal to think about it seriously.
Continue to read and sleep patiently.
Early the next morning, Lin Feng was sleeping with a smile, and was woken up by a knock on the door, and opened the door with sleepy eyes, and was suddenly surprised: "Youyou, why are you here?"
She sent him back twice when she went to the crew of "Extreme Tracking" to film before, and she knew the address, so he was not surprised to find the door, but she just made the call last night, and she came over early this morning...... Could it be that she happens to be in Zhongzhou again?
"Isn't it going to make a movie? Of course, such a big project has to be discussed. ”
Wu Youyou smiled happily, looked at Lin Fengxiao's clothes as he spoke, and said slightly apologetically: "I'm sorry, I came a little early, and I disturbed your rest." ”
"It's okay, I'm getting ready, you're here, let's go inside. Lin Fengxiao turned sideways and stepped out of the door.
Wu Youyou raised his feet and entered the door, looked around, and did not see the sloppiness of the man who lived alone, but everything was in order, and said with a smile: "It's cleaned up well, Teacher Lin is very diligent." ”
"I live by myself, and I look comfortable when I clean it up. Lin Feng smiled and said, "Sit casually, have you had breakfast?"
"Okay, I've wanted to try your craftsmanship for a long time, Mr. Lin, and today I can finally feast on it. ”
"Wait, right away. Lin Feng washed his face with a smile, skillfully made breakfast, and chatted while cooking: "Have you read the script, how do you feel?"
"It's very good, so I came to talk to you about cooperation early in the morning. Wu Youyou said with a smile.
Lin Fengxiao glanced back at her and said in surprise: "So you plan to invest?"
Wu Youyou smiled and nodded: "Yes, I have all the remaining 140 million, and we will work together to shoot this drama."
However, in business, how to distribute the box office after the release of the movie, we still have to negotiate first, so as not to have disputes afterwards and hurt the peace. ”
"It should. Lin Feng smiled and said briskly: "How about the distribution according to the proportion of capital contribution? The funder is just two of us, and it is easy to divide it, I will invest 60 million, accounting for 30%, 30% of the net box office income after the release will belong to me, and the remaining 70% will belong to you, how about it?"
"Don't you feel at a loss for such a part?"
Wu Youyou said with a smile: "In addition to paying money, you also have to take care of film production, contribute money and people, and only take 30% of the income thanks to it, so let's make this piece for you to convert 20% of the income, and when the box office is released, we will split the account fifty-fifty, how about it?"
"Yes, if you are not afraid of losses, then it is decided. ”
Lin Fengxiao put the prepared breakfast in front of her, and said with a smile: "The contract has been reached, let's have breakfast together to celebrate." ”
Wu Youyou glanced at the omelette and two slices of bread on the plate, pursed his lips and smiled: "It's also a big project of 200 million, isn't it a little too simple to eat these celebrations?"
Lin Feng smiled: "The conditions are limited, how about tasting it?"
Wu Youyou took a bite of the omelette, and his eyes couldn't help but narrow: "It's delicious, it's not a loss to be a person who has been a food blogger, the level is very good, by the way, who are you going to invite the film director? I feel that He Tian is good, you also cooperated last time, and the cooperation was very pleasant, or invite him this time." ”
Lin Feng smiled and waved his hand: "You don't need to invite Director He, I'll just come by myself." ”
Wu Youyou paused, and looked up at him in astonishment: "You direct it yourself, it's the first time to make a movie, and you still want to be a director yourself?"
"Yes. Lin Feng smiled and nodded seriously.
Wu Youyou was a little suspicious, and out of the corner of his eye, he suddenly saw a book on the table, with the title "What is a Director" on the cover, the corners of his mouth couldn't help twitching, and he pointed to the book and said, "This is what you said?"
Lin Feng smiled and said, "Isn't this just learned." ”
Wu Youyou couldn't cry or laugh in an instant, feeling as if he was on a thief ship.
