Chapter 911 - Completion Guarantee?

Tianmeng and Lingxiao Pavilion have always been at odds with each other, this is almost a well-known thing in the Chinese entertainment industry, Lin Xiao is of course an actor, and even when he first made his debut as a singer.

But now, basically few people will treat Lin Xiao as an artist or a simple director.

Lin Xiao hasn't been filmed for a long time.

At this time, Tianmeng actually sent an invitation to Lin Xiao, and the phone call went directly to Xiao Jie.

also directly offered a salary, as for sincerity, hehe.

100 million Chinese dollars plus 5% of the global box office share, it seems like a lot, but in fact, it doesn't even reach 20 million US dollars.

Lin Xiao said unceremoniously that if he really wants to take on the film now, at least it will be 2+1.

Of course, if Lin Xiao really wants to take it, 2+1 Tianmeng also dares to invite.

But Tianmeng obviously wouldn't know that this invitation was useless at all, and it was impossible for Lin Xiao to really help his opponent make a film.

So just like Xiao Jie said, in fact, as long as this invitation is issued, no matter whether Lin Xiao accepts it or not, the purpose of the Heavenly Alliance has been achieved.

Why?

At that time, Tianmeng can completely hype it up, Tianmeng originally wanted to invite Lin Xiao to join, but it didn't work out, Yunyun, this is also a good publicity and hype gimmick, isn't it?

As for Lin Xiao taking it, let alone that, Tianmeng will definitely hype it up happily, and it can be said that it is already half of the success.

In fact, it is the legendary forcible touch of porcelain, and Lin Xiao has not encountered this kind of thing once or twice, but in the past few years, basically few people have done this, because Lin Xiao's identity is different.

But this kind of thing, like Tianmeng, Lin Xiao can't do anything here, but this kind of porcelain touching method seems to be easy to use, but in fact, it's just like that.

However, it seems that the Tianmeng side is probably not as confident as imagined.

As soon as Xiao Jie finished speaking, there was a knock on the door, and it was Yao Ding who came in.

"Then I'll go out first. Xiao Jie said hello to Yao Ding, and then said with a smile.

"Mr. Xiao, don't be in a hurry to leave, there is something you can listen to and give some advice. Yao Ding kept Xiao Jie.

"Okay, I'll hear it too. Xiao Jie was stunned for a moment when she heard this, and then looked at Yao Ding with some curiosity.

"Tianmeng has done something again, do you know?" Yao Ding said suddenly.

"What is it? can you make Mr. Yao so concerned?" Xiao Jie asked curiously.

"Yes, I'm also curious, what big projects does Tianmeng have?" Lin Xiao wondered.

"It seems that you don't know, I also heard that Tianmeng has established a new company, and its main business is to launch a guarantee for the completion of the film. Yao Ding said.

"Guarantee for the completion of the film?" Lin Xiao was really a little surprised.

The completion guarantee is actually a third-party certificate, as the name suggests, it refers to the guarantee provided by the guarantor to the investor of a film.

The completion insurance of the film belongs to a special kind of insurance business.

Everyone knows that the movie itself is very risky, and this risk does not only refer to the performance of the movie after its release.

There are also faces, such as whether the screenwriter, director, and actors can effectively use their creativity, whether the film can be promoted smoothly, whether the film can finally recoup its investment and obtain profits, and so on.

And among all these risks, the most difficult thing for investors and producers to bear is that a film cannot be completed in the end.

If a movie can't be done, there's no way to release it, and no value can be realized.

The guarantee of the completion of the film is to guarantee the production risk of the film, and as for the investment risk, no one dares to guarantee this thing.

Of course, the completion guarantee is not only to guarantee the completion of the film, but also to ensure many things, such as the producer in the production process, overdue, or budget overrun, etc., according to the regulations, the third-party completion guarantor needs to lose money.

If there is a situation such as overdue, budget overrun, etc., the guarantor will first communicate with the producer, and if the supervision and communication are ineffective, the insurance company can remove the director, producer, or even replace the actors, etc.

Warranty on completion is a very common operation overseas.

Of course, the same fee for the completion guarantee is not low, usually 5~15% of the investment cost of a film!

It also depends on the credibility of the producer.

Of course, the guarantee for the completion of the film does not exist in China.

In other words, in this aspect, Huaguo's side is completely blank.

The usual relevant insurance in Huaguo is not for people, not for projects, such as work-related injury insurance for actors.

"Are they crazy?" Lin Xiao's reaction was somewhat beyond Yao Ding's expectations.

"Why did Lin Dong say this?" Yao Ding originally wanted to mention whether Ling Xiao Pavilion wanted to get involved in this industry, but he didn't expect Lin Xiao's reaction to be like this.

"No, the guarantee for the completion of the film is based on the union and the insurance business, we don't even seem to have a union, who do you guarantee with? Who wants to give you money?"

"The guarantee for the completion of the film needs to remove the director or producer, actors, etc., when it is determined that the producer cannot complete the production of the film according to the contract, but there is no such trade union or industry association in China, where to transfer people when the director is needed?"

"Moreover, which director in China would be willing to take on this kind of work? You must know that this is a job that offends people. ”

"Of course, Tianmeng can use its influence to do it, but the gains outweigh the losses, and in China, the most critical problems that cannot be carried out in the business of film completion guarantee are not these. Lin Xiao shook his head and said.

"The key question?" Yao Ding and Xiao Jie were both a little puzzled.

"You don't know about Li Honggang and Yang Ning, if you want to make a guarantee for the film, do you have to investigate whether the actors in the crew have violated the law first?" Lin Xiao asked rhetorically.

"This ......" Yao Ding was also stunned.

He just thinks about it from the perspective of the industry, in fact, it is not a day or two that domestic film companies study the Hollywood model all day long.

"The risk is too great, this is still second, the most critical, in fact, it is still a point, our domestic environment is different from abroad. ”

"You mean, censorship?" Yao Ding thought of it at once this time.

"Yes, censorship, who dares to guarantee that a movie can complete the censorship in one step?"

Domestic film review is generally divided into two stages: the script review stage and the completion review stage.

Script review is easy to say, the completion of the film guarantee, can be carried out after the script has passed the review, but the key is that many movies, the script has passed the review, but still cannot be released, why? is because of the completion of the review.

This is an insurmountable obstacle for the completion guarantee!

Because no one dares to say that they can guarantee that a film will pass the censorship.

All in all, in short, the implementation of film review in China is completely an impossible task at this stage.
