Chapter 655: Charcoal in the Snow
"Huh!?"
As soon as Duan Yun's words fell, not only Ning Hao, but everyone present was stunned!
"Are you crazy!?" Yang Ying on the side twisted Duan Yun's thigh at this time and called out softly.
An investment of four million is definitely not a small amount for a rookie director!
And judging from the script handed over by Ning Hao just now, there is no need for star configuration at all, and the background of the movie is only modern society, fundamentally speaking, it is just a small-cost film and television script, and the investment of four million to shoot such a script is obviously a bit too 'extravagant' in the eyes of Jiang Yi and others.
"You mean...... Are you willing to give him this script and invest 'four million'?" Ning Hao asked in surprise, he was afraid that he had heard it wrong.
"Let's talk first. At this time, Yun stood up, stepped forward and put it on Ning Hao's shoulder, and the two immediately walked out of the private room.
In the aisle of the restaurant, Duan Yun took out a cigarette, took one in his mouth, and handed one to Ning Hao. 、
"Smack!" Ning Hao took out the lighter, and after lighting it for Duan Yun, he said with some excitement: "Duan ...... Boss Duan, is what you said just now true?"
Although Duan Yun was several years younger than Ning Hao, facing this 'God of Wealth', Ning Hao's face was full of respect.
"Whew!" Duan Yun took a puff of cigarette and said to Ning Hao: "Of course there is no problem with investment, but I have conditions. ”
"Boss Duan, this script really can't be changed, I think this kind of film should be very marketable......" Ning Hao frowned and said.
The main reason why Ning Hao said this is that in the film and television industry, it is often not the screenwriter and director who ultimately decide the content of the film, but the investor.
In order to ensure returns, most investors will use investment as a threat after the initial review of the script, change some of the script content, such as vulgar content that is more in line with the taste of the market, or will forcibly arrange the actress they support to occupy an important role, and in order to ensure that they install the heroine's role, the script will often be changed beyond recognition!
"Who said that the script was going to be changed?" Duan Yun shook his head when he heard this, and then said, "I just need you to make the film as soon as possible." ”
"I will. Ning Hao's face suddenly relaxed when he heard this, and said: "As long as the investment is in place, I promise to make a film in three months." ”
"It's too slow...... I'll give you two months at most, can you finish the shooting?" Duan Yun said with a raised eyebrow.
For Duan Yun, he wants to make quick money by investing in films, and he also believes that Ning Hao will not be able to make his debut film shoddy, so he must put some pressure on Ning Hao and recover his investment as soon as possible.
In fact, according to the general domestic film process, it often takes a year or even a few years from shooting plus post-processing, approval and publicity to the final screening, and the time required for the relevant departments to review this pass is the longest, after all, the output of domestic films in recent years is very large, and the work of relevant departments is relatively low, so Duan Yun wants to return to the cost in the short term, and he can only compress the time in the shooting time.
It's just that what Duan Yun didn't expect later was that the review time of this film was much shorter than Duan Yun imagined, and the time from filming to final release of this film was very short, almost creating a record for domestic films.
"Yes!" Hearing that Duan Yun didn't plan to revise the script, Ning Hao's face suddenly relaxed, and he said very simply.
For Ning Hao, as long as he doesn't revise the script, everything else is easy to say, if he wants to shorten the filming time, he only needs to work overtime, and his script is relatively simple, and it really doesn't take much time to shoot.
"That's good!" Duan Yun nodded when he heard this, and said to Ning Hao: "I will probably leave Kyoto tomorrow, before that, I will sign a contract with you, and then I will transfer the money directly to your account, and the rest is up to you." ”
"Thank you, Boss Duan!" Ning Hao said gratefully when he heard this.
Ning Hao didn't expect the investment to go so smoothly, which he hadn't expected before.
"There's one more thing I want to tell you. Duan Yun said with a deep groan.
"What's the matter?"
"If the film is profitable, I will give you a 20% share of the profit, and I will write this into the contract. Duan Yun Zhengse said.
"Ah, this...... Thank you so much. Ning Hao's face immediately turned happy when he heard this.
You must know that the commission of a rookie director like him is very low, and the average investor is only willing to give him a profit cut of three to five percent, after all, investing in a film spends real money, and the investor bears the greatest risk, and the rookie director can have a chance to make a movie itself is a very rare opportunity, and it is impossible to expect to make too much money when he first enters the industry.
"Do you know why those two of your peers just now only received three million investments, and I gave you four million?" Duan Yun asked again.
"This ......"
"Let's just say it, I just want to be friends with you. Duan Yun patted Ning Hao's shoulder with a smile and said, "Of course, I hope that we can have more opportunities for cooperation in the future." ”
"Thank you!" Hearing this, Ning Hao's face was slightly moved.
There are many horses in this world, but there are not many Bole.
Being able to get Duan Yun's trust and the support of real money still made Ning Hao very moved.
And Duan Yun actually had his plans to do this.
He naturally knew that Ning Hao would be a hot and high-grossing director in the future, so it was quite necessary to encircle him.
Investing in a person who is in the limelight is at best just icing on the cake, and now giving strong support to newcomers who are just emerging is a send-off.
Duan Yun naturally understands this truth, and now Duan Yun has regarded Ning Hao as an important chess piece for him to enter the film and television industry in the future!
At this time, Ning Hao was also very grateful to Duan Yun in his heart.
First, if the script is not modified, and secondly, a high proportion of box office shares will be given, which is simply too generous for Ning Hao, and he never thought of it anyway.
As the so-called soldier dies as a confidant, Ning Hao has already regarded Duan Yun as a very important confidant in his heart at this time.
"Are you still feeling unwell now?" Duan Yun smiled at Ning Hao, and then said, "Do you want us to go in and have two drinks together?"
"This ......" Ning Hao's face showed a little shyness when he heard this, and then said: "It's all up to Boss Duan's arrangement." ”
"Haha. Duan Yun laughed when he heard this, and then walked into the private room of the restaurant with Ning Hao again......
……
The meeting lasted until twelve o'clock in the evening.
During the banquet, everyone talked and laughed happily, and they all began to call each other brothers.
After leaving the hotel, Duan Yun and Yang Ying got into Jiang Yi's car and returned to Huaqing University.
