"If you do it like this, the movie is estimated to cost nothing, one million and two hundred thousand must be enough!"

After reading the shooting plan made by Lei Weidong, Li Yan couldn't help but nodded, this Lei Weidong is still a little talented, and the shooting plan is the way, not completely fooling people.

A nightclub is a 24-hour convenience store.

Because it's an indoor drama, it doesn't cost much to go around a convenience store and set up a scene.

In addition to needing a little more actors.

Taxi drivers, robbers, all kinds of customers!

The investment in the original time and space "Nightclub" was 3 million, but that was because of well-known actors such as Xu Zheng and Li Xiaolu, and in 2008, the rise in prices made all kinds of expenses much more than in 1999.

It can be said that the investment required by Lei Weidong to shoot the nightclub is completely enough, and the shooting is better than the original!

It's just that.......

"Have you figured out how to release this movie, with Chen Xiaoer joining, the difficulty of movie release will increase tenfold, although the box office of the movie is very poor now, but it is better than nothing, don't tell me that you want to release VCD, that is more nonsense. ”

"I never thought that the movie would be released directly in China!" Lei Weidong explained, "With Chen Xiaoer's talent, the movies made are so popular, they have all lost to dogs, let alone me, now the movie theater chain is too serious to steal the box office, and the release will definitely lose money!"

"You are self-aware!" Li Yan nodded.

Although she has never been in contact with the film industry, Li Yan still knows some of the shady scenes inside, making movies in China is really not profitable, firstly, the money is earned by the cinema chain, and secondly, the overwhelming video hall diverts too many people.

Lao Mouzi, Feng Gangpao, these big directors make movies mainly to win awards and complete tasks, and the box office doesn't matter whatever!

"My goal is to have the Toronto Film Festival in September, and if the speed is fast, the nightclub can be completed in a month, and then it will be exhibited at the festival, and as long as someone likes it, we will make a fortune." Lei Weidong began to draw a big cake for Li Yan.

Now that the investment has not arrived, it cannot be allowed to run.

"You're still fooling me!" Li Yan snorted coldly. "I'm so easy to deceive!"

"Although I haven't been to Toronto, I also know that you need to register in advance for the film, and if you shoot it in August, you will be able to participate in the exhibition in September!"

"Of course not, the Toronto Film Festival closes registration at the end of June, and it's already late in August!" Because it is all news that can be found on the Internet, Lei Weidong will tell the truth.

Fooling people requires technology, nine points of truth and one point of falsehood can deceive people, all of them are false, and they can't deceive people at all.

"Then you still ......!" Li Yan's tone was a little unkind, and she said innocently for a long time, when I was wronged.

"Please, eldest sister, do you really think that you can participate in the Toronto Film Festival without a relationship!" Lei Weidong looked at Li Yan with contempt in his eyes, "You think we are official units such as China Film and Shanghai Film, I am Lao Mouzi, Feng Gangpao and these big directors."

"The Toronto Film Festival receives thousands of films from all over the world every year, and the film festival screens up to two or three hundred films, the ratio of one out of twenty, it doesn't matter, it's not famous or don't be delusional, the reason why I chose the Toronto Film Festival is because the film festival gathers film buyers from all over the world, and their eyes are vicious.

We can get a booth in Toronto and show our own films, as long as the quality of the films is good, there are no buyers!"

"No! it won't work!" Li Yan nodded first, and then shook her head, "Although the script of the nightclub is good, after all, it is a Chinese movie, and it is naturally restricted in Europe and the United States, and it is difficult to get into the eyes of those buyers, and your plan has loopholes!"

"So I've prepared a bombshell!" Lei Weidong carefully took out a script from his bag, "This is the film that I want to bring to the Toronto Film Festival, and I am going to bundle it." ”

""Ghost Shadow", it's a horror movie!" Looking at the script, Li Yan frowned, unlike family comedies, the audience of horror films is relatively narrow, especially in China, and there are fewer people who like horror movies.

"This movie is very simple, you only need to find a good photographer, a pair of European and American actors, and it can be shot in seven or eight days, and the cost is up to 100,000 yuan. ”

Under normal circumstances, a horror film like "Ghost Story" should be sent to the St. Denis Film Festival, which is a paradise for independent films, and a tall film festival like Toronto is not for him, but who made a god film "Blair the Witch" come out this year.

With a cost of only tens of thousands of US dollars, it won more than 200 million US dollars at the global box office, driving the great development of DV camera films, and "Ghost Shadow" is one of the best.

You can buy at a high price at this point in time!

If it's too late, it will be troublesome for fans around the world to become aesthetically fatigued by all kinds of shoddy DV films.

There is a reason why "Ghost Record" entered the DVD market first and only entered the cinema 2 years later!

The distribution company was scared of DV camera movies and did not dare to invest easily.

"Your real purpose is the 200,000 liquidated damages!" Li Yan closed the script, her face a little unkind.

Lei Weidong's strategy is really linked to one link.

If he invests in his films, then the 200,000 director fee is enough for him to complete "Ghost Shadows" and have the travel expenses to Toronto.

If he doesn't invest, the liquidated damages of 200,000 yuan are enough for him, and he can also take a trip to Toronto.

"1.4 million, I will invest in two movies together, and give you 300,000 yuan in directorial fees, but the copyright belongs to me!" Li Yan calculated her pocket money, but it was enough.

"No!" Lei Weidong shook his head, "The copyright of "Nightclub" can be given to you, but "Ghost Record" can't!"

This is a movie with a global box office of more than 200 million, the copyright value is at least tens of millions of dollars, and 300,000 soft banknotes are like taking away, when I am an idiot!

"Why not, I have paid 1.4 million, you don't have a penny, and you make a net profit of 300,000, why are you not satisfied, looking at your dress, all the family property is estimated to be less than 300,000. ”

"I didn't pay for it, but I came up with an idea and paid for it!" Lei Weidong shouted, "And this idea is worth 100 million!"

"Creativity is cheap, and you can't be creative without money!" Li Yan snorted coldly.

"It's the same if you don't have creativity and money, the copyright of "Ghost Record" can't be given to you!" Lei Weidong didn't give an inch.

"The copyright of "Ghost Shadow" must be given to me, otherwise I don't want to invest, and the liquidated damages will not be given to you, and I will see you in court then!"

"It's useless to give you the copyright, you know how to talk about it in Toronto, what price to quote! Don't forget that you're not in the film industry, you don't know what it's about. ”

"Do you know!"

"I've done a lot of preparation, and I'm talented, if you don't use me, you won't be able to go to Toronto!"

After some verbal arguments, Lei Weidong and Li Yan finally reached an agreement, Lei Weidong was creative, Li Yan was paid, the copyright of "Ghost Shadow" and "Nightclub" was half of one person, and Lei Weidong's script and director fee were 250,000 soft banknotes.

At the same time, after the movie is filmed, Lei Weidong must accompany Li Yan to fly to Toronto to sell movies, and as for the truancy, Lei Weidong will handle it himself.
