Chapter Eighty-Six: Farewell
(Thank you to 'happysky1a', 'leesen2004', and 'MorrowWind' for their tips and Cui Geng, thank you a few more.) The black car still wants to ask for a Sanjiang ticket, thank you!)
By the middle of May, all the preparations were almost complete, the costumes had been contacted by the manufacturer to produce immediately, and there were several factories working on the props, and in these two aspects, 4 million were gone.
Don't look at the loss of four million all of a sudden, but this is already a lot of money saved, and the next thing is to go to Hengdian, which Wu Xiang has already contacted, or the old way, filming first.
But before that, I still have to do a few things, first of all, I agreed to invest the million, I found everything on Guan Hu's side, and I also got 1 million from the third master, this fund, a small-cost urban movie should have no problem at all.
For the movie "Get in the Car, Let's Go", Wu Xiang is actually mainly the producer, and the title of producer is hanging, Wu Xiang feels that this film is Guan Hu, so it is better to let it go and let him shoot it boldly, and the level of others is not covered.
Moreover, if the producer interferes too much in the movie, it is easy to have contradictions, Wu Xiang clearly remembers that there are many rumors in the circle, that is, a certain big star and director is too domineering in the crew, and the director is very angry, there are many such things, and it is not harmonious.
There is another thing, that is, when it comes to the audio-visual production of "The First Close Contact", Hualu Company has actually decided it a long time ago, but Yu Dong feels that this matter can't be so cheap for them.
Because most of the operation of this film was done by Yu Dong, he also gave opinions in this regard, and Hualu's price was too low, and he only shouted 500,000 at the beginning, how can this price be acceptable?
You must know that the film "The First Time" is now the box office champion, with a rare box office of nearly 100 million yuan, even if it is a famous director's film this year, the better selling is only 40 million.
After the last Hualu company gritted its teeth and paid 2 million, this is already several times, and there is no price in the audio-visual market now, mainly because piracy is too powerful, and it really doesn't make much money.
But there is one condition, that is, the movie channel will postpone the release time of "The First Time", because TV is too popular.
Naturally, there are no problems. Because the movie channel gave less money, they paid 1 million this time, but Wu Xiang still sold the copyright in this regard.
This price is very low, if it is placed in a mature film market, such as the United States, then this price is simply ridiculously low, as far as Hollywood is concerned, the copyright income from audio-visual products and sales to cable TV is very considerable, and even exceeds the box office income. But we have no choice but to wait for the relevant regulations and changes in this market.
Although this is said, the copyright income of "The First Time" is also quite awesome in China, and others can't get this price, which is the truth. Besides, the movie channel is the business of China Film, can you not give the face of the third master?
Wu Xiang is equivalent to three million in his account, which is not bad, but there is also bad news, that is, this time the overseas market of "The First Time" has encountered problems again.
First of all, the film companies in the United States do not introduce it, you must know that the current film market in the United States is very good, and it is the best. Wu Xiang was a little prepared for this result, but he didn't think of the reason given by others.
The reason for this is that you have something satirical about obese people in this film, which will be accused in the United States!
When Wu Xiang heard this reason, he slandered, "Aren't you free speech?"
This was originally an inspirational story, but in the eyes of others, it was different, and the taste immediately changed. To be honest, fat people in the United States are really not what they want to be fat, and the poorer they are, the fatter they are, who makes you can't afford healthy organic food?
Forget it, there are too many things in this, Monsanto is too strong, we can't afford to mess with it. If the American market doesn't work, let's go elsewhere, Japan, that Kazuo Fukasawa has watched this film again, he thinks it's good, but this guy is cunning.
still put forward the request to enter the previous "That Mountain, That Man and That Dog", to make more accounts, and at the same time to buy the copyright of the novel, that is, to bundle the operation.
Wu Xiang's novels have already been sold in Japan, and they are a bookseller from Treasure Island, and the traditional Chinese version they have produced sells well, so naturally they have to go to other markets, the Japanese market is very familiar to them, no way, the connection between people is still so close.
Therefore, this matter has to be discussed, it is quite complicated, naturally, Wu Xiang will not talk about it, he has no kung fu, he just insists that this time he must not let 10% again.
It is Yu Dong's people who are talking about this deal, Wu Xiang does not have such talents here, unless he goes into battle, but this is obviously not good, Wu Xiang is now sighing, his team is still not thick enough, and more talents are needed to join.
Wu Xiang really has little experience in running a company, and he actually doesn't want to be distracted by this, which is also because he just invests in Penguin and Ali, and he doesn't mean to completely control them in his heart.
Forget it, these things are really the culprits that kill brain cells, don't think about it for now, it's still important to make a movie.
Before leaving, Wu Xiang had to do something else.
"I said that you kid is also evil?" This is somewhat similar to Han Sanping's tone, but this is what Wu Xiang's teacher Han Xiaolei said, and Wu Xiang is saying goodbye to his teacher at this time.
"No, I'm really confident, this time it's a big movie!"
Looking at Wu Xiang's tone and posture, Teacher Han sighed, "You kid, now this ambition has come out." It seems that my old man is old, but if you really lose, you must want to open a little. ”
"Why don't you always expect me to be better, what if I turn around the decline of the entire market all at once?" Wu Xiang said half-jokingly.
"Okay! You kid is so ambitious! My old man didn't teach you in vain! But I have something to ask you. ”
"Ask, what else are we talking about? ”
"My old man remembers that when you were admitted to film school, you said that you didn't want to make rural movies, and your reason was that you didn't have a life. Then I'll ask you now, you are not from the Han Dynasty, you don't have the life of Emperor Wu of the Han Dynasty, so how did you make this movie. ”
This is a very common statement, but in fact, there is a very technical problem involved.
Wu Xiang heard it, he was now full of confidence and already had this answer, "Teacher, I am not from the Han Dynasty, but none of us are from the Han Dynasty now." Everyone is not from that era, so what I shoot is that era!"
"Haha...... Teacher Han laughed after hearing this, "You kid, go shoot boldly!"
Wu Xiang's words seem to avoid the important and trivial, but in fact, it is the best answer.
Although it was a farewell, both of them were very happy, but at the end of the day, Mr. Han instructed Wu Xiang that if some actors had nothing to do after filming, let them come back. This is talking about the students of the 99-level performance department, many of whom were recruited by Wu Xiang, and the head teachers of the family came to complain.
After saying goodbye to the teacher, it is natural to say goodbye to your object.
"Xiaohai, when I'm gone, you have to pay attention to your diet, don't let yourself become a fat woman anymore. ”
"You have to take care of it!"
"When riding, be careful not to use a large disc with a small flywheel, your legs will be thick!"
"Long-winded!"
…… Wu Xiang and Haiqing are naturally under the moon, and some advice is naturally indispensable.
"Xiao Wu, what do you think of Xiao Chu?" Hai Qing was free and asked such a question.
"Xiao Chu?" Wu Xiang naturally knew that it was Zhang Jingchu, "What's wrong with her?"
"I always think she looks at you differently!" Hai Qing noticed it from a woman's eyes, even if she is a female man, she has the ability to do this!
"Wouldn't it? I just see that she is very interested in RMB, and other things can arouse her interest?" Wu Xiang is not sarcastic, he has so much contact, he knows that the conditions of Zhang Jingchu's family are also average, and she is alone in the capital, so she should make more money.
"You!" Hai Qing was a little speechless, she was actually quite scared, because the man in front of her was really what she loved, and he was very popular.
Wu Xiang could actually see Hai Qing's worry, "Don't worry! Your husband and I will never be that Chen Shimei!"
"You're going to die!" Hai Qing is still so shy, this is embarrassing, she raised her hand to fight, of course she smiled.
"Murder your husband!"
"I'll tell you to say it again!"
The two frolicked for a while, Wu Xiang actually didn't beat her, just let her, but at this time Wu Xiang suddenly had an idea, he grabbed Hai Qing's hands and pulled her into his arms.
"......" Haiqing was stunned for a while, but she immediately understood it from Wu Xiang's eyes, so she closed her eyes.
That pair of red lips was right in front of him, but Wu Xiang, who was originally thinking about kissing it, was blocked by a strong hint in his heart, and he might be injured, and the braces are still there!
What should we do? Are we so scared?
Death is death!
As soon as Wu Xiang lowered his head, he kissed it affectionately, and the jelly-like sweetness struck again......
