All those who make film and television want to make movies!

Dongyang Qingyu is no exception.

After all, compared with TV series, movies are higher and higher, and it is easier to start the company's signboard.

But what, the stakes are high!

In the original time and space, Dongyang Qingyu participated in a movie "Panting" after the big sale of "Latent", with Uncle Ge as the starring role.

Released in 09...

At that time, Uncle Ge was in full swing!

However, the movie was too, and Uncle Ge couldn't save it...

In the end, "Panting", which cost more than 30 million, only had a box office of about 40 million, so Dongyang Qingyu never dared to set foot in the film industry again...

However, at this time, Zhang Hongzhen definitely has the idea to invest in movies!

Jiang Wei has read the script of "Border Storm", he must have mentioned it to Zhang Hongzhen...

......

There were only two left, Zhang Hongzhen and Lu Xiaoran, and everyone else went to filming...

"The script is good. ”

Zhang Hongzhen put down the notebook in his hand and made a long talk pose: "When are you going to shoot?"

Lu Xiaoran said: "I calculated, the preparation of the pre-site survey intensified group, three to five months, two months of official shooting, and it will be released at the end of the year or early next year..."

Zhang Hongzhen asked again: "Sun Honglei is sure to join?"

"Yes. ”

"Then you invited Teacher Feng to..."

"Help support the play, it's just three days!"

“... It's not a big problem, and Mr. Feng shouldn't refuse. ”

"That's good..."

Zhang Hongzhen pointed to the actor selection of the script and said, "I see your actor selection, they are all mainland actors?"

"I don't have the money to hire Hong Kong and Taiwan actors... And I always feel that the temperament of this drama is not suitable for Hong Kong and Taiwan actors. ”

This statement is pure nonsense...

If you want to say a pure historical drama, mixed with a few Hong Kong and Taiwan actors, it looks awkward - Huang Qiusheng in "The Secret History of Yang Guifei", how awkward to look...

But for a pure crime theme like "Border Storm", if you can form Huang Qiusheng + Wu Zhenyu + Liang Jiahui, by the way, add Xie Tingfeng's lineup...

Definitely sure to sell more than 70 million...

I can only think about it - these actors, the minimum salary is 3 million, Lu Xiaoran does "Border Storm", the total cost must definitely be controlled around 5 million...

Zhang Hongzhen was noncommittal, and then asked: "Then how much do you think the box office of this movie can be?"

"I've thought about this," Lu Xiaoran said very seriously: "The theme of "Border Storm" is a crime film, the overall story is serious, the current market environment, works with such a theme are actually not very easy to sell, I think it will be 10 million box office at most, do a good job in publicity, maybe you can sell a little more... But it shouldn't exceed the 30 million of "Stone"..."

Zhang Hongzhen was decisively interested: "That's why you said that the cost must be controlled below five million?"

"Yes, otherwise, it will be difficult to get back to the basics!" Lu Xiaoran smiled bitterly: "I can't get back to the basics, if I want to shoot the next work, it will be difficult!"

Zhang Hongzhen nodded, and was about to continue speaking, Lu Xiaoran said: "Producer Zhang, I still have a shooting plan, why don't you take a look at it again?"

"Shooting plan?"

"It's every expense, for example, the cost of actors, the cost of staff, the cost of equipment rental..."

Zhang Hongzhen took the plan, opened it and read it, and then asked, "What?

“... Of course, they have to give, they are looking at my face, but if the movie makes money, it is for the investor to make money, and of course the investor is responsible for the remuneration!"

Including Sun Honglei's salary, he opened 800,000...

The price code of Lao Cao, Group Feng, and Feng Enhe is 30,000 per person, which is definitely in line with the market price.

Bo Ge's salary is 200,000...

The starring lineup is just the dentist...

This drama is not his investment, why should he use his connections to save money?

The investor's money is not his money.

Lu Xiaoran himself, the remuneration of "Border Storm", two sets of plans, one is that he directly takes 200,000 yuan of director, starring and screenwriting fees, and the box office has little to do with him, and the other is that the remuneration is converted into the production cost, Brother Dog said that he will give him 10% of the box office account...

He wants to choose the first plan, but he wants to gamble - what if "Border" explodes at the box office?

Zhang Hongzhen smiled and did not express his opinion...

"I think so, even if you can't recover the cost through the box office, the movie channel plus the image copyright should be enough to pay off, after all, it's a small fight..."

"Yes, how much money are you missing?"

"Funding... There is not much shortage, Li Ming is still very creditworthy, and China Film will also invest 1 million..."

"And what do you mean by that?"

“... I'll tell you the truth, I just want to pull a few more investors, after all, I'm a novice, and the more investors I have, the more power I have to speak!"

Zhang Hongzhen smiled: "You kid..."

Lu Xiaoran's meaning is clear, investment is okay, don't overstep your authority to command the crew...

The more investors, the more power the director has...

"Don't worry, even if I don't invest, I believe that other investors will not pass you to command the crew!"

"Hey, hey..."

......

In Beijing, Zhang Guoli received an invitation from his old friend Han Shanping, saying that he would show him a script.

He and Han Sanping have been friends for decades...

Zhang Guoli put down the matter at hand, rushed to Zhongying, and pushed Han Sanping's office, the latter: "Come on, take a look, "Crazy Racing", Ning Hao's new project!"

"Ning Hao, the director of "Stone"? Then I have to take a good look!"

"Stone" is a big hit, Ning Hao has lost a lot of fame in the circle, and he is waiting for his second movie...

Zhang Guoli took the script, skimmed it quickly, then put down the book and sighed: "I sometimes really wonder if I can't keep up with the times, I won't shoot such a book, give it to me!"

“... Ning Hao is different from ordinary directors, he makes commercial films!"

""601" is also a commercial film!"

“... Hey..."

Han Shanping has no evaluation...

"The 601st Call", Zhang Guoli was full of confidence and wanted to show his face in the film industry, but he didn't expect to show his butt...

The box office and word-of-mouth both lose, which made Zhang Guoli very depressed!

"How much does it cost to make this film?"

"15 million!"

"Okay, how about I pay 2 million?"

"Just waiting for your words!"

Han Shanping got up and made him a cup of tea, Zhang Guoliang picked up the teacup, took a sip, and then asked, "... Do you have a script that suits me? I have almost forgotten that Ji Xiaolan has played in the past few years, and I can also play other roles!"

"Right for you?"

Han Shanping thought for a moment, then nodded: "There really is one!"

"Don't fool me with those movies arranged above!"

Zhang Guoli is a little skeptical...

He is the master who almost refused even "The Great Cause of the Founding of the People's Republic"!

“... Here you go, this is a newcomer's script, with Ning Hao as the producer..."

"I'll take a look..."Border Storm", Lu Xiaoran... New director?"

"You don't care what he does, you just read the script!"
