Yang Yang suddenly understood, it turned out that the three million were not given for nothing. Not only do they have to shoot their favorite scripts, but the box office revenue after the movie is released has to be shared, and there is really no free lunch in the world.

What kind of movie can be made with three million, and now the shooting cost of any movie is tens of millions. Three million can only be counted as a fraction, and in the final analysis, it is not necessary to invest by yourself.

In fact, the cost is not the biggest problem, Yang Yang himself has money, but the fact that the income has to be shared with the Film Association makes him very unhappy.

If he really wants to make a movie, he doesn't lack that money. These three million seem to have become a piece of chicken ribs now, and it is a pity to abandon them if they are tasteless.

Yang Yang thought about it for a long time and replied: "Otherwise, I don't want the three million shooting funds, so I'll leave it to the second winner." ”

Yu Shuping was a little surprised, but soon figured it out.

The previous awards were all ordinary young directors with no achievements and backgrounds, and three million is not a small amount for them, and they can get five million by going out with the face of the Film Association and casually pulling some sponsorship.

As an ordinary young director, it is already remarkable that the first film can have five million funds for training. After all, no one can be confident that the first movie they directed will be a big hit, make a lot of money, at best recover a little cost, and just plug the mouths of investors.

As for the Film Association, I didn't expect to get a return from it at all, and the three million had already been prepared to be wasted, and it was regarded as an investment in young directors.

In fact, this has always been the case.

But Yang Yang was an accident.

He can even spend a small 100,000 yuan to make a short film for the competition, and he will be reluctant to spend money to make his own movie? Will he only be satisfied with making a small production with a cost of 3 million?

Yu Shuping shook his head and replied: "I'm afraid this won't work, the association has regulations that the three million can only be delivered to the first place in the competition, and the first place in the competition must also make the three million into a movie." To put it bluntly, the above funds are allocated to the young director competition held by the association every year, and they also want to see the results, and these three million films are homework, and they have to be taken and handed over. ”

Yang Yang frowned, a little distressed. Don't do the three million for half a day, and you can't make a movie. The first place in the Young Director Competition looks like a big honor, as well as various benefits, and there is a lot of baggage behind.

"How is the box office share divided?"

Yu Shuping glanced at Yang Yang in surprise, this movie has not been made yet, so he is thinking about dividing the money? So are you sure that it will be a big hit? Today's young people are really confident.

"The Film Guild is divided into 40%. ”

Yang Yang began to calculate in his heart, the association is divided into forty percent, and the sponsorship investor who pulls millions of dollars will at least score half, and there is still a layer for himself, this is still a theater or something, the association arranges without paying, otherwise the director is really working for a day.

In fact, directors are working day jobs, so you can have so much money to try your hand, and you don't have enough experience as a director, and you still want to get money?

Of course, Yang Yang is not willing to work as a day job, since he wants to make a movie, of course, he has to shoot it well and shoot it to be a big hit. There are a lot of low-cost classic movies in his mind, although three million is definitely not enough, but the rest of the money can be made up by himself and become an investor.

Saving the cost of theaters, sixty percent of the box office is barely acceptable, but since it has been spread out to the surface, it is still necessary to bargain again.

"President Yu, I think that since this movie is going to be made, it should be filmed well, and the production should not be rough because of financial problems. It's a responsibility to the audience, and it's also a responsibility to ourselves, you name it. ”

Yang Yang tried his best to be euphemistic first, Yu Shuping was old and refined, and he immediately guessed what he wanted to say later, and said with a smile: "I understand what you mean, to be honest, the association didn't expect it to recover much cost by taking out these three million." It's a loss anyway, and no one cares. ”

Yang Yang suddenly became happy: "It's easy for you to say so." Then we'll talk about it..."

Uncle Yu smiled and waved his hand, and said, "There's nothing to discuss, I can help you get thirty percent at most, and it's impossible to get less." And this 30 percent is conditional, so why should it be 30 percent on your head? You have to let us see that your 30 percent can create a higher profit than other people's 40 percent and 50 percent, and the association can pass it. Otherwise, everything will be in vain. ”

Yang Yang hurriedly asked, "Then what should I do?"

"Script. Yu Shuping said: "It's like an amazing script like your award-winning "Secret Room" this time. If you can take it, everything is easy to say. ”

Yang Yang nodded and said firmly: "Okay, I'll think about it after I go back, and I'll take out the script for you as soon as possible." ”

Yu Shuping nodded with satisfaction, and then stopped Yang Yang, who wanted to leave, and said, "Don't leave yet, I still have something to tell you." ”

Yang Yang was a little puzzled, sat back in his seat, and asked, "President Yu, you said." ”

Yu Shuping picked up the cup and took a sip of tea, and said, "I sent your "Chamber of Secrets" to the Norhanding World Short Film Competition to participate in the competition. ”

Yang Yang was slightly taken aback, and even took it to the international competition.

However, the style of "Secret Room" is originally biased towards the Western way of thinking, and maybe there can be unexpected surprises.

"The judging time should be before Christmas, do you have time to come with me to have a look?"

Yu Shuping actually sent an invitation to Yang Yang.

Yang Yang's mind began to liven up, and it was good to go abroad to see the film level of countries around the world, since he wanted to be a director, sooner or later he would have to go to the world. You don't see how much effort Director Zhang Bai and Zhang Da have spent on impacting the word "international", understanding, learning, and integration, which is one thing that every director is trying to do.

"Okay. Yang Yang agreed, "President Yu, you can say hello to me in advance when the time comes, so I can make some preparations." ”

Then Yang Yang exchanged a few more words with Yu Shuping, and then got up to say goodbye under the pretext of going back to conceive the script.

The results of the "Weiying" - National New Young Directors Competition have been repeatedly reported by many news media, and the audience does not pay much attention to it.

Oh, what award did Yang Yang win? Then go back and ignore it.

But some people in the circle take it more seriously.

Yang Yang: Making a movie, and winning the first place? Everyone knows in their hearts that the quality of the Young Directors Contest is still quite high, after all, it is the Film Association that supports it.

If you are interested, you immediately found Yang Yang's award-winning short film "Secret Room" on the Internet, and after watching it, many people were surprised and inexplicable.

This short film, good.. Amazing! It can only be described by the word amazing, such ingenious ideas and brain holes, indeed only Yang Yang, who has written good scripts such as "July and Ansheng", "Hypnosis Master", and "Fairy Sword", can come up with it.

But the point is that the director's skills are not bad, and there are many shooting techniques, all of which have a refreshing feeling.

There is a boring film critic who has no leisure, and he wrote an article on the Internet, and the title is called - "From Idol Star to Cutting-edge Director, Yang Yang's Ambition?"

"Recently, the author came across such a news..."

This article, which predicted that Yang Yang would not be satisfied with his identity as an actor and would enter the directorial world, caused a shock among some people in a small area, but it was quickly drowned in other news.
