Chapter 711: You Are My Heroine
Su Yan spent three days reading the more than 100-page script of "EXIT" three times.
How to say it,
is the same as Mr. Wang's opinion, the plot is hard, but because the tone is a comedy, it can be ignored.
In fact, movies are like that, if you really have to chew the words, or carefully scrutinize, all the films can find unreasonable places, it just depends on what the audience thinks.
If you are happy to watch, everything can be ignored, and if you are not happy to watch, you can spray to death wearing a piece of clothing.
The script is good, and it can score 80 points, but it's hard to say what it will be like in the end.
"Ghost Blowing the Lamp" is amazing, but "Nine-Story Demon Tower" is a piece of shit, I don't know what to do, and this director Lee Sang-geun seems to have no shooting experience at all, and the script took several years to grind out.
Lao Wang also said that he is not in a hurry, because although Lee Sang-geun wants to direct himself, he is still hesitating, after all, his budget investment will be about 11 billion won, such a large amount of money, for a newcomer director, whether it is an investor or an individual, the pressure is very high, and now I heard that there is still a big funding gap.
"Oba, how are you looking?"
Su Yan raised his head and smiled at his daughter-in-law.
"Almost. ”
He sat on a lounger in the backyard basking in the sun, and when the dog saw the hostess coming, he only lazily wagged his tail a few times and did not want to get up.
Lin Xiaoyun handed him the cup, which was warm water.
"Do you want to shoot?" asked Su Yan.
"I think, it's been a long time since I've released any works in Korea, and the audience is about to forget about me. In front of her husband, Yun'er is coquettish like a child.
"I heard there's a funding gap?"
"Well, SM also has a part of the investment, and it seems that there is still a gap of about 4 billion. ”
Su Yan closed the script and looked at Yun'er.
"You say, how about I be the director of this play?"
He didn't do it on a whim, while reading the script these days, he was actually thinking about how he would operate if he came to shoot it himself, and he also checked a lot of information.
The investment of 11 billion yuan is the basis, and it is estimated that it may be more than a little more at that time, and after adding the publicity and distribution costs, it will be about 13 billion yuan, which is equivalent to 80 million yuan, and half of the amount is not very high.
Su Yan invested 30 million in his last movie, and there were more than 4 million viewers in South Korea.
According to the investment of "Exit", as long as there is 3.5 million, it can pay back.
And Chinese movies have never had much market in South Korea, and "The Last Days" can be a small hit, so there is no reason why the films of local actors will hit the streets.
The male protagonist Cao Zhengzao, he also went to Baidu, and he is quite famous, especially after marrying the female singer Spider, the two movies launched in succession were big hits, and they received good results of 600 and 7.5 million viewers respectively.
Korean audiences have a special affection for home-based male stars who usually don't have any negative news.
For Qinghe, it is a small investment, a big return investment.
For Su Yan personally, he has time anyway, and he is helping his daughter-in-law, so why not do it.
It's just that Lin Xiaoyun was very surprised after hearing it.
"Oba, you're not kidding, are you?"
"I'm serious, don't you want me to be a director?"
"Of course not!" Yun'er stood up, her face full of surprise: "Oba is coming, and it is estimated that the rest of the investment will be raised soon." ”
"Hmm..."Su Yan shook his finger: "No, the rest of the funds will be provided by Qinghe." ”
Then, he roughly talked about what he had been thinking in the past few days.
Of course, there was a reason for him to keep it a secret.
It's the star's salary.
Korean artists are so cheap.
The male protagonist is 4.5 million yuan, the female protagonist is 1.3 million yuan, and the other supporting roles are almost negligible.
You must know that any slightly larger production protagonist in China, the salary of more than 10 million is low, if the traffic is quiet, it is possible to be tens of millions, and the money he takes alone is enough to make another movie.
"Wow, am I going to be your heroine?" Yuna looked excited.
"Hahaha!" Su Yan picked up her princess: "You have always been my heroine!"
In the afternoon, Su Yan came to the company and talked with Lao Wang and Huang Lei for more than two hours, after all, it was related to the investment of 40 million.
Huang Lei smiled.
Because a few days ago in India, Xiao Sa also asked if there was a plan, and Su Yan swore that he didn't, but the week hadn't passed, and it was about to be arranged.
It is inevitable to pass, Lao Wang also directly contacted the screenwriter Li Shanggen, and the other party was very surprised when he heard that Su Yan wanted to direct, he had also seen "The End of the World", and the name had already heard of it, but he definitely couldn't make a decision on the phone.
It happened that Su Yan was going to South Korea next month, and the two sides made an appointment for an interview.
The specific plan is naturally in charge of the professional people in the company, and Su Yan is not good at these.
"This type of film should be able to be introduced into China by then. ”
"It's not a big problem, but it's a bit difficult to get a high box office, and Chinese people still prefer Hollywood blockbusters, but if you can make "Wrestling, Dad", then say something else. Lao Wang said with a smile.
"Then you are exalting me too much, the script is not of a grade, wrestling is also a phenomenon, the media is also helping to hype, success is due to many reasons, and it is impossible to replicate it. Su Yan is self-aware: "If you can have one or two hundred million, you will make money." ”
"I also read the script, I feel good, and the box office should not be low. "As an actor, Huang Lei still has the right to speak.
"Actually, what I want to make the most is a zombie movie, but unfortunately I won't let it in China. Su Yan sighed.
"Like Resident Evil?"
"No, it's more like The Walking Dead, the type of ordinary person, the kind that doesn't have any superpowers. ”
Huang Lei smiled: "Then don't think about it, but it's not without a chance, the vice president of CBS is not your fan, when the new show is a big hit, maybe as soon as you are happy, you will give a big production of hundreds of millions of dollars." ”
After talking about business, the three men also began to chat.
"Hasn't Director Chen come back yet?" Su Yan remembered not seeing him in the office.
"Hmm. Huang Lei knew the itinerary: "The show has already been filmed, but he said that it is rare to go once, so he simply walks around and has a look, as a framing, to understand the situation, in case of emergency." ”
"Sister Hong is in China. ”
"Well, you probably didn't go online, but when you were filming in Huangshan and Chongqing, you aroused onlookers, and your fame is still big. Huang Lei was a little proud, he sacrificed a lot for this show, and even did not hesitate to push off the TV series.
"How's the members doing?"
There is a reason why Su Yan would ask this question.
A job for several years in a row can inevitably be a little boring.
"It's okay, the main program team is very attentive, although the recording is hard, but there is a new experience every time, the shooting itself is a kind of fun, and almost everyone benefits, we have three collective advertisements, not to mention individuals, plus the ratings have always been guaranteed, no one will have trouble with money and fame. ”
"Xiao Nanyuan, I haven't seen him recently. Su Yan is still very concerned about this star who has been discovered single-handedly.
"He's been very close to Lao Guo recently. Mr. Wang replied.
"Lao Guo?"
"Guo Degang, after meeting him in the show, he had to apprentice, and the old Guo didn't say he agreed, so he ran there every day with a cheeky face, and in the end he really had no choice, so he was regarded as a supernumerary member of Deyun Club, just like a lay disciple of Shaolin Temple. ”
"Haha, then I can't see him talk about cross talk in the future, it feels quite appropriate. ”
A few people laughed.
