Chapter 33: Dawn Media

Chen Xiao has sent part of his script to various film and television companies.

One reason is because of the choice of directors.

Other film and television companies are different from his shell company, and every normal company has its own directors and artists.

Chen Xiao's purpose in doing this is not only to find a director, but also to find investment.

His total investment budget needs 4 million, and he can come up with all the money himself, but this is all he has.

If the movie loses money, then he is gone.

What's more, if he exceeded his budget when making a movie, he had to find a way to borrow money.

There is an even more important one, if other film and television companies are willing to invest and use their strength, then the movie is basically not a problem in theaters.

Although Du He promised to help his new movie go to theaters, he still had to prepare for everything.

After doing all this, Chen Xiao himself also sent a script draft to several directors who he was optimistic about.

To Chen Xiao's surprise, it didn't take long for a phone call to come.

is a long-established film and television company, which is recommended to be directed by itself.

"So efficient?"

Chen Xiao was a little puzzled, is it because of my fame?

After chatting, Chen Xiao understood that the film and television company had just signed a college graduate who had previously worked as an assistant director, and now he wanted to find a low-budget film to try his hand.

You don't even need to be paid.

Chen Xiao immediately wanted to hang up the phone directly, but he still seriously said that he didn't need it.

Then his phone kept ringing.

There are directors who recommend themselves, and there are artists who want to recommend themselves.

also promised that as long as you give your artist a role, you can invest 500,000.

For these, Chen Xiao just said that he would consider it, and as for the artist, all of them need to audition.

"It's time to find an assistant......"

Chen Xiao can't remember how many phone calls he answered, and basically nothing was done in the morning, but he had a headache when he answered the phone.

Not so if there was an assistant.

Even if you accidentally offend the other party, you can also have an assistant to take the blame.

After the filming of "Stone", you must find an assistant after filming.

"Jingle Bell ......"

Chen Xiao picked up the phone again a little tiredly: "Hey?"

"Hey, Mr. Chen, I'm Wan Yushan, I like your script very much, but can the salary be higher?......

"Wan Yu Mountain?"

Chen Xiao thought about it for a while, and the information of this person appeared.

This is a director he invited on his own initiative.

Wan Yushan has always been filming TV series before, you must know that making movies and making TV series are still very different.

But Wan Yushan has always wanted to transform and make movies, but the film industry and TV series are also two circles, although his previous TV series were good, but who can guarantee that he can shoot the movie well, but he has not received a movie scene until now.

You must know that many movie-making people look down on making TV series.

However, Wan Yushan's TV series have good reviews, especially one of the sitcom TV series, which directly formed a craze on the Internet.

And Chen Xiao's salary to the other party is only 200,000.

"Oh, Director Wan, you also know that my movie is only a low-budget movie, and the total investment is only 4 million, if the director's fee is increased, other places will have to be reduced, and you don't want the first step of the film to be shot at that time will become a low-budget bad movie, right?"

Chen Xiao just saw that Wan Yushan urgently needed a movie to prove his mind and reduce the price.

If it is another film director, no matter how good the relationship is, he will definitely not be able to lower the price like this, which will break the rules of the industry and lead to the destruction of the director's own value.

But Wan Yushan is different, he has not yet entered the film industry, if he wants to reflect his own value, it is better to come up with a work first and let the market test it.

To be honest, he himself is still very optimistic about Wan Yushan, and if there is a shooting of Wan Yushan, he will mention one or two points according to the original book next to him.

Not to mention that it will completely restore the original plot, but it will not be bad.

In the end, the two reached a preliminary willingness to cooperate on the phone, Chen Xiao gave each other a salary of 280,000 yuan, and Wan Yushan served as the director.

After that, he sent all the subsequent scripts to Wan Yushan.

Although the two of them have not signed a contract yet, Chen Xiao is not afraid of him divulging, he has already registered the copyright, and Wan Yushan's character is also trustworthy.

After that, when Chen Xiao called again, if he recommended the director, he refused directly.

If it's an artist, let me contact Wan Yushan directly.

Wan Yushan has an agent, and it is much easier than him alone.

As long as he is quiet as an investor, he believes that Wan Yushan will be more attentive than him.

As for the next income of "Comet", it is likely that all of it will be invested in the promotion of "Stone".

In this way, it seems that he has no money again.

"How can I make money?"

Chen Xiao meditated.

Now I want to continue to write "Romance of the Gods", although the money is slow, but fortunately, there is no cost, and the future works will be shared.

"Jingle Bell ......"

The phone rang again, Chen Xiao covered his head, only to feel that the whole head was echoing with a ringtone.

looked at the caller ID and found that Wu Daoyi had not been contacted for several days.

"Chen Xiao, everything is ready on my side, and the animation production will start soon, do you have time, come to the company. ”

"Fatty, isn't it fast!"

"It's Mr. Sun who helps.,He values you very much.,I heard that you wrote the animation.,Directly recommended a lot of people to me.。 ”

"Oh, well, I'll be over tomorrow. ”

He is also a major shareholder of Star Media now, so why should he go over.

......

Downstairs in an office building, Chen Xiao made a phone call to Wu Daoyi, saying that he had arrived downstairs.

Wu Daoyi hurriedly went downstairs and picked up Chen Xiao.

Chen Xiao entered the office and saw that Huo ...... It's a big office, how much did it cost to rent?

"Come on, let me introduce to you, this is the big boss of our company, Chen Xiao, who was nominated for the Annecy Animation Festival for "Hire Life", which is his work. ”

Chen Xiao scanned the studio, there were nearly twenty people in total, five more than Wu Daoyi had said before.

Each of these people was working in front of the computer, and when they heard Wu Daoyi's words, they all stood up and called the boss.

He has a little more shares than Wu Daoyi, but Wu Daoyi is responsible for management, strictly speaking, there is no one big or small, but Wu Daoyi also has his own reasons for saying this, so he did not refute it.

Then Wu Daoyi took Chen Xiao to his office.

"Fatty, isn't your company called Star Media, why is the signboard outside Dawn Media?"

"How about it, I found someone to change the name directly, do you like it or not?"

Wu Daoyi said with a smile: "This also symbolizes that I am going to start again now, the previous animation was improvised, because of lack of funds, everything was improvised, and now I have to change the name and reappear."

Besides, I also suffered a loss of fame before, no matter how popular your movie is now, I have to rub off on your popularity.

When I publicize it, I will directly promote the transition of Dawn Pictures to the animation industry, how about it...... Not bad, right? ”
