Chapter 692: The Beautiful Money Scene of "Seeking Immortals".
The place where Feng Dadao invited him to eat was the restaurant that Lin Miao's family was almost struck by lightning last time. At about 11 o'clock in the afternoon, Zhang Kai took Zhou Bo to the sheepskin alley to pick up Lin Miao and Xiaoxiao, and the car arrived at the place ten minutes later.
On the side of Director Feng Dadao, there are seven or eight people in total, in addition to the two movie stars of Uncle Ge and Liu Huangshu, there are also a few other producers, assistant directors, and supporting roles, such as the fat ex-husband of a certain Dandan.
After everyone arrived, Director Feng, on behalf of all the crew members, first toasted the father of the gold owner to express his gratitude. Drinking milk can bring out the momentum of Wuliangye, and everyone is quite convinced. Lin Miao put down the cup and looked around, seeing that this group of poor people were all holding back very hard, she nodded with satisfaction. Sure enough, the people at this table mixed well later, not without reason.
Just because they can clearly understand their position and react correctly to the right people, it is worth continuing to invest in them - the three million that Dongou City invested in them is not a one-time payment. The first payment of 1 million yuan was given to build the crew and do some preliminary preparations, including paying part of the salary of the cast and crew, renting venue equipment, making filming-related costumes, coping with daily box lunches, and dealing with various personnel who need public relations during the filming process.
All in all, although it has been several years since the price barrier ended, and domestic prices and wages have begun to rise, 1 million is still a lot of money. If you save some flowers in a planned way, it will still take a long time.
Zhang Kai had already gotten the accounts and bills for the crew's related expenses from the crew producer a few days ago, Zhou Bo was busy for a few days, and finally reconciled the accounts, but because he was not an insider, he couldn't tell whether the accounts were true or false, and he could only see the big problem. However, that's enough. Zhang Kai was in charge of the Propaganda Department before, and now he has been transferred to the Political and Legal Department. If the movie can be made smoothly and make money, it will be due to him. If it is successfully filmed but does not make money, the mess will be handed over to Gong Changji to deal with.
Since the director of the palace elder has gone against the trend and picked up the omissions, he should take the corresponding responsibility......
After three rounds of drinking, Director Feng and Minister Zhang finished greetings, and said about the progress of the shooting for about 20 minutes, in short, everything went well, please rest assured. After finishing speaking, he vaguely expressed his wish that the second one million would be in place as soon as possible after the year.
"When it comes to making movies, as long as the crew hasn't been disbanded and before the filming is finished, it's spending money every second. Director Feng drank a little loosely, and spoke sincerely, "Actually, I didn't make this movie purely for money." Minister Zhang, let me tell you the truth, before making this film, I had already made five movies in a row, and the bosses in this circle in the capital hid when they saw me and ran away when they saw me, and none of them were willing to invest money in me. ”
When the people at the table heard this, their faces changed instantly.
Uncle Ge hurriedly picked up his wine glass and said loudly: "What Director Feng means! Thank you Dongou Municipal Government for giving us so much trust and help! I want to once again represent our crew and toast the leading comrades of Dongou City with a glass of wine! When the movie is released, the support of all leaders for China's film culture will be seen by audiences all over the country!"
He opened his face, which was almost solemn, and instantly smiled.
Lin Miao looked at Uncle Ge, who had not yet shaved his head, and only hated that Uncle Ge had become a wrist, and it was impossible to sign him.
Director Feng was very conscious, and after drinking a cup with Zhang Kai, he turned his head and said to Lin Miao again: "Mr. Xiaolin, his father, our Director Lin, what a pity." In fact, I have always admired Director Lin's personality and talent, and after signing with Mr. Kobayashi's company, I also hope to have the opportunity to take pictures of Director Lin's works in the future. But who would have thought that there would be so many bad people in this world, who had nothing to do, so they went around framing Zhongliang! Alas...... In the next few years, it is estimated that this environment will not allow Director Lin's works to meet the audience in a different way, and the pearl will be dusty, but unfortunately, it's a pity......"
Feng Dadao sighed and said, suddenly changed his words again, and looked at Lin Miao's eyes lit up: "But fortunately, there is a successor to Director Lin! I think that Mr. Xiaolin's future development will not be worse than Director Lin." Mr. Kobayashi's father is a good cadre, Mr. Kobayashi will grow up in the future, and he will also be a person who wants to benefit us ordinary people.
Lin Miao was almost stunned by Director Feng's sycophancy.
In the face of money, people will indeed be extremely honest......
"Okay!" Lin Miao suddenly shouted, Feng Dadao, who had drunk half of the wine, was so frightened that he squirted a mouthful of soju into his trachea, coughing violently, and others hurriedly patted the director on the back, but Lin Miao didn't delay at all and blew along, and said loudly, "Uncle Feng Jiyan! I will definitely strive to join the team of serving the people as soon as possible, which is completely my father's unfulfilled wish." If you want to continue to cooperate with my father, I will contract it for you! Let's say okay, as long as the box office of "Party A and Party B" can exceed 10 million, I plan to shoot the next movie to find immortals, and invest at least 10 million! "Party A and Party B" will make as much money as I will throw into "Seeking Immortals", the actors will find Xiangjiang, the later stunts will find Hollywood, you will choose the screenwriter, and you will be the director!"
Feng Dadao's eyes widened when he heard this, while coughing soju mixed with snot spurting from his nostrils, staring at Lin Miao with wide eyes, and hoarsely: "Mr. Xiaolin, are you serious?"
Lin Miao said seriously: "The second volume of "Looking for Immortals" came out, and the national sales volume was 2.5 million copies a week, just for the name of this book, there will be at least 5 million potential movie audiences in the country, and at the average price of ten yuan for a movie ticket, it is expected that the box office will be guaranteed to be 50 million. I'm just waiting for you to finish filming "Party A and Party B", and hurry up to shoot "Seeking Immortals" for me, I have thought about the producer, is Xu Ke okay? Let him join forces with you. ”
Feng Dadao clutched his chest, took two breaths, suddenly waved his hand and pushed away the people around him, jumped forward, knelt down in front of Lin Miao with a plop, and shouted excitedly: "You treat me as a countryman, I will repay you with this body! I, Feng Gang, will return to Master Miao from now on!" This action was a bit big, and Lin Miao hurriedly asked people to help Feng Dadao up.
After more than half an hour, the meal was finally finished.
Feng Dadao said goodbye to Brother Miao and watched the car of the Dongou City Office in Beijing leave.
Sitting in the car, Zhou Bo said with emotion: "The people in the capital are really open-minded......"
Lin Miao smiled and said to Zhou Bo: "It's not me who he's kneeling, it's money that's what he's kneeling in." He understands this, and I understand it, and everyone can figure it out when they sit down and think about it. Things in this world, if you can move forward by kneeling, then it doesn't matter if you kneel. Save time and effort, I'm afraid that I'm afraid of kneeling to the wrong person, kneeling at the wrong time, kneeling in the wrong place, and it's useless to kneel. ”
Zhou Bo asked, "Then this Feng Dao, is it useful to kneel today?"
"It works. Lin Miao smiled, "At least he kneels, we have to call him the money of "Party A and Party B" when we go back." ”
Zhou Bo asked again: "What about "Seeking Immortals"?"
Lin Miao smiled: "Before the money is invested, the initiative is in my hands, so I will take it out and blow it casually first, and it depends on the situation whether I shoot it or not." Party A's money is not blown by a typhoon, let's talk about it after a while. ”
Zhang Kai suddenly said in a deep voice: "If "Party A and Party B" can make money, the city can continue to support you in filming "Looking for Immortals". ”
