Tenghua went to Yu Dong to seek investment, and happened to be seen by Wang Zhonglei.

He whispered to Wang Zhongjun next to him, "Big brother, Teng Huatao found Tang An and them. ”

Wang Zhongjun glanced at it when he heard this, and when he saw that they were chatting, he didn't care, and shook his head with a chuckle.

"It's no better that they're willing to invest. ”

Wang Zhonglei nodded, "There is basically no market for romance films now, Zou Xun, Zhang Ziyi, and Fan Binbin have also made a few romance films before, and most of them are not as expensive at the box office." ”

Although Hua Yi is wealthy, the film that is bound to fail will not waste money in vain.

What's more, Teng Huatao is a TV drama director and has no experience directing movies.

TV series and movies are two different things, and I have never heard of a TV series director turning a film director successfully.

If Teng Huatao wants to make a TV series, as long as the script is a little more reliable, Wang Zhongjun will be willing to pay seventy or eighty million yuan.

There is still the possibility of profit, but the risk is slightly greater.

But with a cost of 10 million yuan, it is impossible to return to the cost, and naturally it will not be invested, and there is no possibility of making a profit at all.

"By the way, hasn't Xu Zheng replied yet?" Wang Zhongjun asked one more thing.

Wang Zhonglei shook his head, "He's still dragging on, "Modern Times" will start shooting in a few days, I guess I want to wait for the movie to be sold after the release." ”

......

Tang An has preliminarily reached an investment intention, and the specific amount and matters will be discussed with Tenghua Tao first.

Yu Dong and Wang Changtian have no intention of participating, they have the same opinion, the directors of TV dramas across the industry, the lack of market for the theme, and the lack of big-name stars, no matter how you look at it, it is not a project that can make money.

Teng Huatao could only accept Tang An's investment in the end, and after being rejected by Wang Zhonglei, he also found many film and television companies, but none of them were willing to invest.

Even if he has found a male and female protagonist who is willing to play the role with zero pay, it only costs less than 10 million.

Others are not stupid, Huayi himself does not invest, it is clear that he is not optimistic, and no one is willing to invest.

If Tang An's investment is rejected, I don't know if I will find an investor in the Year of the Monkey.

Tang An asked Teng Huatao to come to the group tomorrow with the script, and the production department would make an evaluation of the project.

Even if Tang An is optimistic about a film, it is not directly decided by him.

He knows all the films that will be popular in the next ten years, and if they all decide for themselves, what else will the following departments do.

is a dictatorship in everything, and the people below don't have to work, just listen to Tang An's orders.

He can start a project against the crowd, but he can't even do a basic project evaluation and the production department doesn't know anything, and you're settled.

After the agreement, Teng Huatao also took his leave, and went back to check the script again, as well as some of his personal ideas, and make a simple plan.

Seeing Tang An's decision so neatly, Yu Dong and Wang Changtian were a little curious, and they also admired Tang An's courage.

"Tang Dong, do you think this film has a headline?"

"I think it's a funny idea, it's something that happens to anyone, and it's not just a romance, there's a lot of comedy elements, and there should be a market. Tang An smiled.

They can trust Tang An's vision, and "Painted Skin" and "People in Embarrassment" were discovered by him.

Although there are still some doubts this time, it's just a small project, and they can't lose much, and they can't make much money, and not all small-budget movies can become dark horses, and they don't care much.

......

On the morning of the 17th, Teng Huatao came to Hantang Media with the script and a simple plan, and Liu Debin, the director of the production department, received Tang An's instructions to receive him personally, and led someone to make a detailed market analysis and evaluation report within 24 hours, and estimated the production cost.

On the 18th, Liu Debin took two documents and handed them to Tang An for inspection.

Tang An nodded and asked him to sit down, "Mr. Liu has worked hard, and he has done a good job of evaluation so quickly." ”

Asking Liu Debin to wait for a while, Tang An looked at the two documents seriously.

It's one thing to have a box office hit, but why it hit and what shortcomings the movie has are all things to pay attention to.

Oriental Shenlong Film Company was definitely a big company at the beginning of the century, but it declined later.

As the deputy general manager of a large film and television company, Liu Debin has no ability.

In this analysis, he also believes that the project is too risky.

However, it also put forward several feasible plans, Teng Huatao's selected actor Wen Zhang starred in the popular TV series "Struggle" and "Snail House", and the movie "Ocean Paradise" starring Li Lian will be released next month, if this movie is successful, Wen Zhang can successfully enter the big screen and is a suitable actor.

However, Bai Baihe is not famous, he suggested changing it to Tang Yan or Yang Mi, the former can just take advantage of the release of "Edge of Tomorrow", and Yang Mi's popularity is not comparable to Bai Baihe.

One of the most important things, Liu Debin also mentioned the problem that the audience of romance films is not wide, and suggested increasing the comedy element and making it a comedy-based romance film.

As for the production cost, the budget he gave was 9 million, excluding the actor's salary.

After reading each one one by one, Tang An nodded approvingly, "Very good, the evaluation is in place." ”

"Mr. Liu went to contact Teng Huatao and asked him to come in the afternoon, and the production department also prepared. ”

"Okay chairman!"

Then Tang An asked Zhou Li to inform Zhou Shiwei and Zhou Jia to bring Deng Chao and Yang Mi to the group.

The actors must be changed, Wen Zhang and Bai Baihe are both Wang Jinghua's people, even if there is no suitable candidate in their company, they will not be used.

is a huge entertainment industry, and there is no shortage of actors at all.

What's more, in order to reduce costs, Tenghuatao is talking about a share including photographers.

I don't know how much I talked about now, but then Wenzhang should have taken 8-10 points of profit sharing.

A small-budget movie, it makes a lot of money, who wants to get a box office of 350 million.

Wen Zhang's dividend alone is tens of millions, which is much higher than the salary of a first-line star like Chen Kun.

Of course, it is impossible for others to take advantage of such a big advantage, and there should be no problem for Deng Chao and Yang Mi to replace the roles of the two of them.

Coupled with the salaries of the two of them, Teng Huatao's director's salary, and the photographer's salary, the production cost of this film will not exceed 15 million.

At one o'clock in the afternoon, Tenghuatao came to Hantang Media in advance and was led to the chairman's office by the front desk.

After waiting for a day, the investment can finally be determined, and Tenghuatao also breathed a sigh of relief.

As long as this film is successful, he will be able to smoothly change his career from TV series director to film director.

Before coming, he also told Wang Zhonglei that he was ready to accept Tang An's investment, and Wang Zhonglei did not let him refuse
