Chapter 34: The Filming of the Movie Script Begins

Beijing, Huaxia Film Company, Qi Qing is sitting opposite Director Feng, one of the three famous directors in Huaxia, Director Feng is reading the script.

Director Feng looked at the title on the cover: "Red Cliff of the Three Kingdoms", he thought to himself, historical themes are not easy to shoot, and the market response is not good, no matter how good the script is, it is estimated that it will not be able to cooperate.

Further down to the playwright: The Vast World.

Director Feng is also a person in the cultural circle, of course he has heard of the vast world, and in the past two years, he has published three novels, which are popular and have become the idol of young people across the country. Raising the name of the vast god has a certain effect on the box office, but I don't know if this master of writing novels can write a good script.

Director Feng pressed the curiosity in his heart and turned the first page.

Qi Qing sat there very calmly, she had already drunk four glasses of water, but Director Feng was still reading the script page by page, he had been reading it for more than an hour, but he didn't know at all, and no matter that Qi Qing was on the side, he was completely attracted to it, and he forgot about other people and things.

Qi Qing couldn't understand Shen Caizi's script, but she was very confident in Shen Hao, even if Shen Hao said that he could pluck the moon, Qi Qing would also believe that that man could create any miracle, and what he had done now has shown this.

After more than two hours, Director Feng raised his head and found Qi Qing sitting on the side. Director Feng closed the script and put it next to him.

"Mr. Qi, I took it, it's really a good script. I've read countless scripts, but I never thought that a movie with a historical theme could be written and made like this. It's so fascinating. The scenes are grand, the details are fascinating, the characters are distinct, there are both historical facts, and there are also some reasoning and fiction, which are reasonable. There are heroes and heroes, and there are also children and daughters. It can be predicted that such a movie has a market and can attract a lot of audiences, especially, Mr. Haohan, who has more than a million book fans across the country, and his book fans alone, if they all go to watch his movies, it will be a large number. Mr. Qi, our company took over this script, let's talk about your conditions. ”

"First of all, I want Director Feng to estimate how much money will be invested in this film? Is there any problem with your company's funds, and can you allow our company to invest part of the funds and occupy a certain share. ”

"Due to the large scene and the many requirements for extras, I estimate that the shooting cost will be about 12 million, plus other expenses, 15 million, which can be completed completely. This cost is one of the best in China. If the company wants to be a sole proprietorship, it is also possible, but in order to diversify the risk, your company will be allowed to participate in the shares. However, the largest amount of shares shall not account for 30%. ”

"Okay, it's good to be able to participate in the shares. This is our agreement, you see. ”

The content of the vast agreement is: a down payment of one million yuan, a later profit sharing, seven for the film company, and three for the vast one. For example, after the film was released, it was a box office of 50 million, deducting the shooting cost of 15 million, and the remaining 35 million was divided among the theaters, investors, and screenwriters. The cinema chain must take the lion's head, take 40 percent, and only 60 percent of the rest, and the investor is the big one, generally accounting for 90 or 80 percent of the 60 percent.

In the agreement, the film company is seven, and the vast is three. still wants the price to be too high, Director Feng bargained with Qi Qing, and finally changed to the film company eight, Haohan two.

As for the investment, since it is not allowed to exceed 30%, Haohan Company decided to invest 4 million, accounting for 27% of the shares. In this way, if the box office of this film is 50 million, then Haohan Company will be able to get a share of 9 million.

And Shen Hao privately said to Qi Qing that he estimated that the box office of this film could reach 500 million, and the vast company got nearly 100 million yuan, which is really a million profits.

Qi Qing signed a contract with Huaxia Film Company and made some suggestions on the selection of actors, these are what Shen Hao said, she just followed what she said, Director Feng listened very carefully, and said that he would seriously consider these suggestions, and hoped that the playwright Mr. Haohan himself, when he was free, could come to the company to discuss the shooting together.

Huaxia Film Company signed a contract with Haohan Culture Company to hold a press conference. When the news got out, it immediately attracted a lot of reporters. Now, the vast god is in Huaxia, but he is a god-like character, and he is actually out of the script now, which is really big news. In the capital, almost all the media arrived. There were more than 300 reporters present, and even Huaxia Film Company did not expect that the influence of the vast god was so terrifying.

On the rostrum of the venue, Director Feng, Mr. Qian of Huaxia Film Company, and Mr. Qi of Haohan Culture Company sat in the middle. The host will first cooperate with Huaxia Film Company and Haohan Culture Company to shoot a film with a historical theme written by Haohan Tianxia, and will invest 15 million yuan, making it the largest investment film in China in the past five years. The film is ready to be released in early ninety-nine, around the Spring Festival.

When the reporter below the host asked a question, the first person to ask a question was to ask Mr. Qi of Haohan Culture Company.

"Mr. Qi, hello. I am a reporter from XX Daily, may I ask, is Haohan Culture Company a company founded by teachers in Haohan World, and what is the company's business? ”

"Haohan Culture Company was founded by Haohan Tianxia, responsible for the publication of all his books and the surrounding affairs of the book, and his third novel was also published in English, and we are also responsible for these international affairs. In addition to these, the vast world has also written songs, has cooperated with Hong Kong's Bai Li Kim Company, and has the script that everyone sees now. All the affairs of the vast world are handled by our company. ”

The second person to ask a question was to ask Mr. Qi of Haohan Culture Company.

"Mr. Qi, hello. I am a reporter from XX Daily, may I ask, are all the works of the vast cultural company made by the teacher of the vast world, is he a person or a group?"

"All the works of Haohan Culture Company are made by teachers in the vast world. He's a person, or a group, I'm sorry, but it's a trade secret that I can't reveal. ”

The third person to ask a question finally turned to Director Feng.

"Director Feng, hello. I am a reporter from XX Daily, may I ask, what do you think of the script of the vast world teacher this time. ”

"It's not that I'm advertising the film, it's the truth. The script of the teacher in the vast world is the best script I have ever seen. I want to say that after the film is released, all the viewers who watch it will feel super and praise it. Please believe in the vast brand. ”

The fourth person to ask the question was again to ask President Qi of Haohan Culture Company.

"Mr. Qi, hello. I'm a reporter from XX Daily, may I ask, does the teacher want to become a playwright? Will he continue to write novels?"

"The fourth novel of the vast world, more than half of which has been completed, is estimated to be published early next year, so I can make a preview here. Of course, the teacher will continue to write novels, the script is his new attempt, if this time is successful, he will also have a new script, I hope everyone can support him, take his family and friends to the theater, watch this movie. ”

This press conference almost became a special meeting of the vast cultural company, and the company of the vast gods appeared in front of the public for the first time, so the reporters chased after it and tried every possible way to get a scoop.

The day after the press conference, Haohan Culture Company became famous, and the film, which had not yet started filming, became famous.

Qi Qing went home to Yuezhou to work in the company, and the secretary Hu Danping happily said to her: "Mr. Qi, our company is famous, and the phone calls have been blown up by the book fans of the vast teacher." ”

"With the name of the vast teacher, it is only a matter of time before we become famous, and you have to adapt to this. Qi Qing said calmly.

Shen Hao had already returned to the county, but he still knew everything about Qi Qing in the capital. He called.

"Sister, I heard that you are alone in the capital to fight all the reporters, showing your true character as a hero. ”

"This time I'm in the limelight, stained with the light of your vast god. ”

"What's mine is yours. ”

"No, mine is yours, but yours, still yours. ”

The two talked so roundly, but both of them understood each other's thoughts in their hearts, and the two were one, regardless of you and me.

There is news that the script is going to be made into a movie in the vast world, and even Shen Hongguang's family knows about it.

"Ah Hao, aren't you writing novels, why did you jump to write scripts again, can you make money from this?"

"Dad, scripts can also make a lot of money. You see, my first script is estimated to earn almost 100 million yuan. ”

"Ah, ah, ah, ah" Four exclaims, and all four members of the Shen family were shocked.

You say a few million or 10 million is okay, but don't open your mouth is 100 million, in 98 years, what is the concept of 100 million, so that ordinary people can't accept it. If this had been in the sixties and seventies, he would have been a capitalist and pulled out several times.

"Can the script really make so much money?" Wu Meilian couldn't understand.

"Mom, it depends on whether the script is well written, the script is not good, not only can you not make money after filming, but you can't even get back the money you put into filming, you can only lose money. I'm confident in my script that it will definitely do well at the box office. When the time comes, I will accompany you and Dad to see it. ”

"Brother Hao, you get me a ticket, and I'll watch it with Xiaoxian. ”

"No problem, Xiaoliang took a friend, a movie ticket, and my brother has a bag. ”

"Yes, long live Brother Hao. ”

"You two pay attention, you can't tell your classmates and friends, this movie was written by your eldest brother, and the news that your eldest brother is a vast god is confidential. ”

"Got it. ”

Gao Yanling also knew that her uncle had written a script to make a movie, and congratulated him in the letter, looking forward to watching the movie written by her uncle when the time comes, which will definitely be better than her fictional "School Flower Fan".

Gao Yanling wrote in the letter that after the July holiday, she would come to the county to see his factory and his farm.

Shen Hao told Wu Meilian the news that his girlfriend was coming, and Wu Meilian's eyes narrowed into a slit with a smile, as if she was in love. Shen Hao didn't even have a photo of Gao Yanling, this time, Wu Meilian could see the real person directly.
