"This script is very good, I don't know if Director Xu is going to find those actors to join?" Jiang Bai flipped through the script and asked, and the title of Xu Shanzheng was naturally changed to Director Xu.

Xu Shanzheng was happy in his heart, he knew this change of title, which meant that Jiang Bai had initially identified with his identity as a director.

hurriedly said: "The starring roles are me, Baoqiang, Huang Bo, and a few female characters, but there are not many scenes, I am still thinking about who will play them." ”

"They are all very good actors, and this script is very big. Then how much investment does Director Xu think this movie needs?" Jiang Bai nodded and asked again.

Xu Shanzheng said solemnly: "I planned it this way, the total investment of this movie is 60 million, of which 30 million is used for filming, and the other 30 million is for publicity and distribution. ”

"Nice proportions. ”

Jiang Bai nodded again, it is self-evident how important the publicity and distribution of the movie is, and the publicity and distribution cost of 30 million is not high for a movie.

However, the production cost of this "Thai Embarrassment" is only 30 million, and it is reasonable to make a 30 million publicity plan without knowing his future achievements.

"Daoyi Studio is very interested in this movie, I wonder if there is an opportunity for investment?" Jiang Bai was silent for a moment and asked lightly.

The big hit in the future, the business that must be earned, if you don't touch it, forget it, since you have encountered it, of course, there is no reason to let it go.

What's more, Jiang Bai currently lacks everything, that is, he is not short of money.

The box office share of "Slaying the Dragon" has returned, and according to the rule that the producer accounts for about one-third of the total box office, the revenue of Daoyi Film and Television Studio is as high as 480 million!

However, in the eyes of outsiders, even if Daoyi Film and Television Studio gets so much box office revenue, the actual profit is only small.

After all, the amazing special effects of "Slaying the Dragon" are not three or four hundred million, but I am afraid that they will not be produced.

And throwing away more than 300 million special effects expenditures, there are more than 100 million profits left, although they are also very considerable.

But the success of "Slaying the Dragon" has too many unexpected factors, and no one can guarantee that the next special effects blockbuster will still be able to get this box office.

This is the reason why even with "Slaying the Dragon" in front of Zhuyu, domestic producers are still not keen on shooting special effects blockbusters.

The stakes are too great!

Even Jiang Bai is filming "Zhu Xian", they are not optimistic.

Hehe, a TV series, actually invested 200 million?

Even if you shoot it out, how will you recover the cost in the future!

In the current TV drama market, the price of a high-quality TV series is only one or two hundred million.

Even if "Zhu Xian" is filmed well, there are still a large number of fans of the original work, and selling 30 or 40 million is considered the top.

200 million cost?

Hehe, I'm afraid Jiang Bai will pay for the pants!

It's just that they probably can't imagine that as a reborn person with a plug-in, Jiang Bai's special effects expenditure is infinitely close to zero......

"Really? Director Jiang is willing to invest in this drama? Is this true? Really? Oh, that, that, that's really good!"

Xu Shanzheng was overjoyed, although he had thought of this possibility through Jiang Bai's various attitudes before, but when he really saw Jiang Bai's statement, he still got carried away with excitement.

After months of torment and encountering walls everywhere, he was almost desperate about being a director and making movies.

Don't look at what I told Jiang Bai just now, I want to go to see Optical Fiber to talk about investment, as if I am full of confidence.

In fact, a rookie director like him, Huayi can't look down on it, can optical fiber be it?

He can successfully get the certainty of investment this time, but he doesn't even have a percentage!

Therefore, when Jiang Bai gave him all the scripts, he would attach so much importance to it, and even suffer from gains and losses.

And now when he heard that Jiang Bai showed his intention to invest, he did not hesitate and immediately agreed.

"Hehe, calm down, calm down, Director Xu doesn't need to be too excited, since I said that I want to invest in this drama, I naturally won't regret it. If Director Xu wants, he can go to Daoyi Film and Television Studio tomorrow to sign a contract. In fact, in addition to the investment contract for this film, I would like to sign another contract with Director Xu. Jiang Bai said with a smile.

Xu Shanzheng was stunned for a moment and said: "Another contract? What kind of contract, my artist contract is in CAA, and it will expire in two years, and I can't sign other companies yet." ”

"Director Xu laughed, I mean the director contract, if Director Xu is willing to sign a director contract with Daoyi Film and Television Studio, then I can make the decision to sign Director Xu B. Jiang Bai said with a smile.

If possible, of course, he would prefer to get Xu Shanzheng's artist contract, but this is almost impossible.

CAA is one of the three agencies in Hollywood, and not only controls the career lifeblood of more than two-thirds of Hollywood's top movie stars and directors.

It also has brokerage contracts for domestic first-line stars such as Jet Li, John Woo, Karen Mok, Wu Yanzu, Wang Leehom, Huang Bo, Yang Lan, Yu Nan, Xu Zheng and so on.

It can be called the most prominent brokerage company in the world.

With Xu Shanzheng's status, it is almost impossible for him to give up CAA and come to Daoyi Film and Television Studio.

However, it is also good to settle for the next best thing, if you can win Xu Shanzheng's directorial contract.

Xu Shanzheng's road to directing is simply a bug road.

Since 11 years ago, he has entered the field of directing, and almost all of his works have been a hit.

This is a gold mine that can bring unimaginable returns to Jiang Bai.

Hiss!

Xu Shanzheng gasped, looked at Jiang Bai incredulously, and said, "B sign, Director Jiang is so optimistic about me, I still don't have a single work." ”

The director's contract is also divided into ABCDE, and E is a fledgling newcomer, who does not even have the opportunity to act independently, usually in the company's crew, and if he is favored by the company, he may be given the position of assistant director.

D sign can be independent of the camera, but basically has no autonomy, usually the company asks to shoot what it takes.

C sign is a real director, with a certain degree of autonomy, and can apply for independent projects and funding with the company.

B sign is already a director with a certain reputation, and he can make his own decisions to choose the theme of the film and participate in the film dividends.

A sign is a big director, such as Lao Mouzi, Brother Kai, who has strong autonomy, and is basically an equal relationship with the company, sometimes, with capricious capital, many times, even if he knows that he is losing money, in order to maintain the relationship between the two parties, the company will pinch his nose to invest.

In Xu Shanzheng's situation, even if some companies see his good role as an actor and see his future as a director, it is worth the treatment to give him a C sign.

Jiang Bai actually opened his mouth to sign B, this happiness came too suddenly, so Xu Shanzheng couldn't believe it.

"There is no suspicion in employing people, no suspicion in people, I am very confident in my vision. Jiang Bai smiled faintly.
