Because of the new movie, Xu Shi became even busier next, first determining the investment.

Zhang Yang and Sun Tu came much faster than Xu Shi imagined, and it was obvious that the methods of Corn and Mingyue also exceeded their expectations.

It seems that from this aspect, Xu Shi's new movie is still very optimistic, which also shakes their original ideas.

"Brother Xu, can you tell us about the specific investment situation this time?" As soon as Zhang Yang and the two came to the capital, they invited Xu Shi to dinner, and after three rounds of drinking, they began to talk about business.

"The total investment is one billion, corn and Mingyue are each 200 million, Jingwumen is 400 million, some other entertainment companies are 100 million, and there is still 100 million investment shares, if you also want to join, this 100 million share can be given to you. Xu Shi first said simply.

Immediately, his face became solemn, "Brother Zhang, Brother Sun, I won't say anything else, we haven't known each other for a short time, and the two brothers have also helped me a lot for such a long time, so I won't be sloppy with the two."

I'm not sure about this movie, it's completely different from the previous film style, and I don't know how well the market can accept it.

Although I can guarantee that all this money will be used for the filming of the movie, no one can guarantee the market until it is verified.

In addition, this investment is so large, so I also hope that the two of you will be more cautious. ”

Xu Shi can be regarded as digging out his heart and lungs.

Zhang Yang and Sun Tu glanced at each other, and they both felt the sincerity in Xu Shi's words.

Then Zhang Yang said: "I know this, doing business with Brother Xu is worry-free, rest assured, no matter what, no matter what, we will invest at least 50 million." ”

This is also their promise to the world.

From the psychological price of 20 million at the beginning to 50 million now, it is because of Xu Shi's words.

Next, the two inquired about the specific situation in detail, and Xu Shi also told all the situation.

In the end, the two did not specifically decide whether to invest 100 million, but the investment of 50 million was guaranteed.

...............

Three days later, the meeting room of Jingwumen.

Corn, Mingyue, and people from some entertainment companies have gathered here, and today is to discuss specific investments.

Xu Shi walked in, first politely greeted everyone for a while, and then sat on the main seat and said: "Then I'll go straight to the topic, the purpose of everyone's coming this time is also very clear, but before that, I also have something to say in front." ”

Xu Shi looked around and said: "Everyone also knows my style, and this investment is so big, so I want to say some ugly things in front."

First, the investment money must be credited to the account within the specified time to ensure that the filming of the film will not be affected by some other factors, and once the investment is confirmed, no reversal is allowed.

Second, the matter of film casting is fully entrusted to the production team of the film, and no one else has the right to interfere, and it is not allowed to stuff people into it.

Of course, if it's really a good fit for a role, it's okay, but it has to be very suitable.

Third, in the production process of the film, too many people are not allowed to point fingers, and everything needs to be subject to the decision of the production team. ”

Xu Shiyang said a lot, and the faces of everyone who were listening to it were not very good-looking, although everyone also knew Xu Shi's rules, but Xu Shi said it like this, and their hearts were also a little uncomfortable.

But Xu Shi did this and made their hearts a little calm, after all, it was such a big investment, although they said Jingwumen and corn, the rest of the investment was not very large.

But the lowest is also 10 million, which is enough for many companies to invest in two small-budget films.

After all, not everyone is as wealthy as Jingwumen and Maize, even Zhang Yang and Sun Tu are a little easier because they have made a lot of money with Xu Shi over the years.

After talking about these rules, Xu Shi saw that no one raised objections, so he directly started the formal topic.

This investment meeting was held for a total of two days, and in these two days, except for Jingwumen, there was no big quarrel, and the rest were constantly quarrelling.

Although corn and Mingyue have clarified the investment share, the issuance right has not yet been decided.

According to the conditions set by Xu Shi before, the film distribution rights this time are naturally theirs.

Originally, the two companies had already discussed, but that was an ordinary situation, this time it was different, such a big investment, and the style was very different from before.

Either you make a lot of money, or you lose a lot of money.

The issuance right can basically be made without loss, if you lose, you can stop the loss, if you make it, you can earn more.

Therefore, both companies want the right to issue this time, and neither of them is willing to give it up.

Other companies are noisy because of the investment share, some want to invest more, some want to invest less, and some have other ideas, anyway.

The final result was that Jingwumen invested 400 million, Corn and Mingyue each invested 200 million, Zhang Yang and Sun Tu invested 60 million together, and the rest was left to the company.

In the end, Zhang Yang and Sun Tu were still a little uneasy, feeling that this investment was too risky, so everyone only invested 30 million.

This can be regarded as giving Xu Shi face, and ensuring that the next movie will also have their share.

The distribution rights fell into the hands of corn, and I have to say that corn earned more money on the distribution rights of Xu Shi Films, and the price he was willing to pay was greater.

As for some other scattered conditions, they have also had rough results in the past two days.

"Okay, the final result has come out, so please put your respective investments into the crew's account in October. Xu Shi finally said.

There are still a few months left, Xu Shi needs to improve the script and prepare for the preliminary work, this is also Xu Shi, if it is someone else, how can there be a script that has not come out, and such a large investment will be determined in advance.

When these people were sent away, Xu Shijiang Han Shang, Zhang Kui and Cheng Guochao all came over, they are the directors of Jingwumen, and they also need their help for this movie.

"Lao Cheng, this time you are the director of the movie, and Han Shang and Zhang Kui are the main assistant directors, what do you think?" Xu Shi said.

What about the position of assistant director, some assistant directors can say a little bit during filming, and most assistant directors are responsible for handling all kinds of miscellaneous things.

The transfer of actors, the arrangement of group performances, the use of costumes and props of the crew and other miscellaneous matters.

However, Xu Shi obviously didn't let Zhang Kui and Han Shang do such a thing this time, but wanted them to really participate in the production.

As for those chores, of course, other assistant directors are in charge.

"Brother Xu, can I do it? I've never touched a movie. Han Shang was a little stunned, he was really surprised by Xu Shi's arrangement.

There is still a big difference between a movie and a TV series.

Xu Shi said: "You will have your job at that time, and this time it can be regarded as making you gain experience, and there is a lot of work to prepare for this time, and it is impossible for Lao Cheng to be busy alone during the shooting." ”

Hearing Xu Shidu say this, Han Shang didn't say anything, and at the same time, he was faintly excited in his heart.

Now who in the company doesn't know that a big project of one billion dollars is about to be launched, and most of the artists in the company will be involved in it.

Originally, Han Shang thought that he was hopeless, after all, he was making TV series, not movies.

But at this moment, I heard Xu Shi say that he should also join in, how could he not be excited, this is a billion big project.

Immediately, Xu Shi looked at Cheng Guochao and said, "Old Cheng, is there any pressure?"

Cheng Guochao smiled bitterly: "How can there be no pressure, this is a billion, it is the largest film investment in China so far, right?"

Xu Shidao: "No, although the investment in many movies is not so large on the surface, the resources secretly consumed are more than this. ”

Of course, Cheng Guochao understood what he was talking about, but it was state-backed investment, and many things could not be solved by spending money.

Cheng Guochao knew that this was Xu Shi comforting him, in fact, he could completely refuse, because he had just won the best director, if he failed this time, then he would not win the best director, and maybe he would suffer all kinds of doubts.

But in the same way, if he can make this movie a big success, then his status and fame will be relatively improved again.

"Okay, I'll take the job. Cheng Guochao still couldn't resist this temptation in the end.

And he didn't want to miss it.

You know, this is a billion investment, who wants to miss it?

As a director, it is natural that the more investment the better, and no amount of investment is enough for them.

Not to mention a billion, even if it is 10 billion, as a competent director, he can spend all this money on film production without leaving a penny.

Xu Shi didn't ask Zhang Kui's opinion, and Zhang Kui didn't have the slightest opinion, he was ready anyway, and he would talk to Xu Shi for a few more years.

"Then the next most critical thing is the special effects company, this needs Lao Cheng's help to investigate.

This time, we must choose the best, we are not afraid to spend money, we want the best, and we are no longer limited to China, but the whole world to find it.

But it's best to ask for a special effects company in Huaxia, after all, they have such a cultural foundation, and I'm afraid that the mythical special effects produced by foreigners are not quite in line with Huaxia's aesthetics. ”

Cheng Guochao nodded and said: "I know this, but I can't be busy alone, you can ask General Manager Xu Mei to send a few people to help me." ”

Xu Shi raised his eyebrows, Cheng Guochao is looking for someone to supervise himself.

Cheng Guochao saw Xu Shi's expression, smiled a little embarrassedly: "What, I'm really not sure that I can resist those temptations, believe it or not, as long as this news is released, those companies will go crazy."

When the time comes, all beauties and money will blind my eyes in an instant.

When the time comes, don't make a movie, divorce and go to prison directly. ”

Cheng Guochao is telling the truth, and he is still sure to resist the generalized temptation, after all, he has been in the entertainment industry for so many years, and he still has this determination.

But in the face of the big cake of one billion, he is really not sure.

He believed that if the decision was in his hands, then any desire would be satisfied if he opened his mouth.

So he put a shackle on himself before he started.

Xu Shi didn't think of these things originally, he believed in Cheng Guochao very much, after all, the two were already close friends.

What Cheng Guochao said is not unreasonable, he believes in Cheng Guochao, but he doesn't want to test Cheng Guochao, what if Cheng Guochao really can't resist?

At that time, the two will not be friends at all, and this kind of situation is not something Xu Shi wants to see.

Xu Shi nodded and said, "That's okay, I'll talk to the eldest sister later." ”

Then Xu Shi told them some things, Xu Shi didn't need to let other people help him in the matter of casting, he wanted to decide on his own side.

After all, when writing the script, he already understood the character of the character, and it was best for him to choose.

...........

Before Xu Shi released the rumor, it had already begun to spread quietly in the circle.

When I heard that the total investment was one billion, the entire entertainment industry went crazy!

Originally, everyone was thinking about when Xu Shi's new movie would start, after all, according to Xu Shi's style, one movie a year is just right.

But no one expected that Xu Shi would be so big this time, one billion!

Many people can't imagine how much money this is and what kind of movie can be made.

On the other hand, when many actors learned the news, they began to inquire about the news everywhere, wanting to get in and get a piece of the pie.

Now Xu Shi's movies are what many actors want to enter, although the salary given by Xu Shi is not the highest, it can only be regarded as the market price, and it is slightly lower.

But everyone who starred in Xu Shi's movies was worth a skyrocketing after that!

is like a newcomer like She Yueling, who first starred in a supporting role in "Hacker" and made her debut, which can be regarded as showing her face a little in the circle.

then played the protagonist of "The Witch", which directly exploded, and his value rose again and again!

Now Xu Shi has come up with such a billion investment, and according to Xu Shi's previous style, this billion will basically be invested in movies, and many people dare not imagine what kind of picture will be made in the end.

However, it is more difficult for these actors to find Xu Shi, they have no way, especially Xu Shi is now in semi-retreat, which is not an important thing, and few people can contact him.

So Xu Xiaoxiao, Xu Mingjie, She Yueling and others have become the breakthrough points for these actors.

Especially Xu Xiaoxiao and Xu Mingjie, they basically receive a bunch of invitations every day, and they can't refuse if they want to.

As for She Yueling, it's the same, but there are not as many of them as possible.

Chang Yue came to She Yueling's house as soon as she knew the news, and this time it was the agent who begged her to come.

Chang Yue's agent didn't want to be able to join it by virtue of the relationship between Chang Yue and She Yueling, but at least Chang Yue could inquire about some news from She Yueling, which is a very important thing for the current circle.
