Producer: Lin Xiaoguang

Producers: Lin Xiaoguang, Wang Changtian, Han Sanping, Huang Zhonglei

Director: Lin Xiaoguang

Starring: Xu Zheng, Huang Baoqiang

Determine the actors, location, photography, equipment, etc., roughly estimated, the pre-production cost of the film is about 55 million, the post-production and special effects are about 8 million, and there are up to 10 million publicity expenses, 7788 added together, the total investment of the movie "Thai Embarrassment" is 83 million.

The initial estimated production costs for "Thai Embarrassment" are as follows:

Director Lin Xiaoguang's salary is 20 million, the actor Huang Baoqiang's salary is 3 million, the actor Xu Zheng's salary is 2 million, plus Huang Bo's friendship price is 2 million, and the other actors, large and small, add up to less than 7 million.

The main creative lineup alone will cost 34 million, accounting for more than one-third of the pre-production cost.

Many people may think that Lin Xiaoguang, as a director, is too unbelievable to get such a sky-high salary.

However, this price is definitely not high for Lin Xiaoguang, he is really a friendship price.

You must know that Lin Xiaoguang is one of the two most appealing commercial directors at the box office in China!

Not to mention, there is still Lin Xiaoguang's cost of writing the script in the 20 million, if there is no script for Lin Xiaoguang's "Thai Embarrassment", it is a question whether this movie can start filming!

However, according to the preliminary budget, the total investment of the movie "Thai Embarrassment" is 85 million, and Lin Xiaoguang's company accounts for 30% of the investment share, and it stands to reason that 25.5 million should be taken out.

The registered capital of Light and Shadow Pictures Co., Ltd. is only 5 million, and it has already spent two or three hundred thousand yuan after half a month of opening.

Therefore, preparing for the filming of the movie "Thai Embarrassment", Lin Xiaoguang himself does not plan to spend a penny to invest, because in his opinion, spending other people's money and investing in movies for himself is the most sassy.

Under normal circumstances, in addition to the director's 20 million salary, Lin Xiaoguang should also take out 5.5 million for film investment.

Where to find the 5.5 million?

Lin Xiaoguang had already thought about it.

Isn't Huang Baoqiang's salary 300? Isn't Xu Zheng's salary 2 million?

On a dimly lit night.

Lin Xiaoguang dialed Xu Zheng's phone number and asked, "Old Xu, do you have confidence in the script of "Thai Embarrassment"?"

Xu Zheng said: "Yes." ”

Lin Xiaoguang said: "Since you have this confidence, how about not getting paid first? I can give you a percentage, according to the market efficiency of the film, the higher the box office, the more you will share." ”

"No problem!

Xu Zheng was eager to make movies, and he was not short of money, thinking that he was not wronged if he didn't make money, and he was enjoying it.

What's more, Xu Zheng originally wanted to invest in this movie.

So, Xu Zheng signed the contract the next day, opening a new page.

Immediately afterwards, Lin Xiaoguang concocted the treatment of Xu Zheng on Huang Baoqiang, Huang Baoqiang was still hesitant, afraid that he would be fooled by Lin Xiaoguang as an honest person, and later heard Lin Xiaoguang say that Lao Xu had signed the contract, and he readily agreed to Lin Xiaoguang's suggestion.

With just two phone calls, the problem of 5 million funds was easily solved by Lin Xiaoguang.

As for the remaining 500,000, Lin Xiaoguang, as the producer of "Thai Embarrassment", can easily erase it by inviting Cheng Yanxi or Zhao Liying to play a cameo role.

Of course, the bigwigs of other companies are not stupid, the reason why they turned a blind eye and let Lin Xiaoguang monopolize the power is because Lin Xiaoguang's connections in this circle, if not particularly awesome, can be regarded as medium-class, which is actually a reflection of Lin Xiaoguang's value.

Recalling that at the beginning, Lin Xiaoguang directed the movie "33 Days of Broken Love", and without spending a penny, he invited Zou Xun, Deng Chao, Sun Li, Wang Xiaoming and other big names, Lin Xiaoguang even went into battle with Zou Xun himself, such a lineup, if Lin Xiaoguang was not personally invited, they may not be willing to come even if they spend 10 million.

Therefore, as long as Lin Xiaoguang can make the movie "Thai Embarrassment" well, everything else is floating clouds.

To put it mildly, Lin Xiaoguang is also a film director who has experienced the test of the market, coupled with the IP of "Embarrassment Series", as well as the script content and cast of "Thai Embarrassment", as long as Lin Xiaoguang is not filmed too badly, after the joint reaction of several production companies, the worst is to protect the capital.

As for how much "Thai Embarrassment" can earn in the end, it depends on luck.

However, there is a saying: Plans don't always keep up with change!

Originally, Lin Xiaoguang promised Li Xiaoran to lead the whole family to go to Europe for a vacation.

But now Lin Xiaoguang is out of skill, and he can't squeeze out extra time at all.

With Lin Xiaoguang's current situation, it is the early stage of the business of Light and Shadow Group, and Li Xiaoran, the chairman's wife, can also understand and unconditionally support her husband.

However, Li Xiaoran also has her own conditions, that is, Lin Xiaoguang must let her participate in the performance of the movie "Thai Embarrassment".

Of course Lin Xiaoguang has no problem, now he is the producer and director of "Thai Embarrassment", and it is a matter of minutes to arrange a soy sauce role for Li Xiaoran casually.

Dead.

Lin Xiaoguang and Li Xiaoran were lying on the bed.

"What role do you want me to play? Is the role heavy? It won't be a cameo, right?"

After all, they have been together for so long, and Lin Xiaoguang's little trick was quickly seen through by Li Xiaoran.

Lin Xiaoguang smiled: "Wife, what do you think of playing a graceful flight attendant?" Your figure is already so good, and you have been practicing yoga recently, and your figure is getting better and better, if you can wear a flight attendant uniform...... Gee...... I can't imagine how beautiful it is......"

Li Xiaoran was said lightly by Lin Xiaoguang, but he still said stiffly: "Don't, it's too unchallenging, what's so great about a flight attendant, I am a female star from a professional class, isn't it better than a flight attendant?"

"Oh yes...... Forget it......" Lin Xiaoguang couldn't help but smile and said seriously, "The role of this flight attendant is something you don't want to play, then I'll ask Fan Bingbing to play it." ”

Li Xiaoran was stunned for a moment, and threw out a sentence: "Whatever you want! Don't regret it! That's it, I took a shower." ”

Lin Xiaoguang was a little disappointed when he heard her words, and deliberately hesitated: "Hmm...... Why don't I think about it again?"

"Okay", gave Li Xiaoran steps, and she really pushed the boat down the river.

In fact, the soy sauce roles of flight attendants and secretaries are not a big problem.

Lin Xiaoguang's biggest headache is that Xu Zheng's original "Thai Embarrassment" had a female star role of Fan Bingbing, which was played by Fan Bingbing himself.

However, when Lin Xiaoguang rewrote the script of "Thai Embarrassment", the female star he wrote about was not Fan Bingbing, but Liu Qianqian.

Lin Xiaoguang felt that it was not difficult for him to invite Fan Bingbing, what he was worried about was whether Liu Qianqian would be unwilling.
