Chapter 446: Cooperation!
Xue Zhi's side was cautious, but Ye Wenxuan's side was not clear.
The group quickly returned to Times Entertainment, and Cheng An's assistant and legal counsel had also arrived at Ye Wenxuan's company.
The group came directly to the company's conference room, and Carter and Jiang Huan also came to the conference room to participate in the signing of the agreement.
Everyone sat down, and the sunlight from outside poured into the conference room, illuminating the entire conference room exceptionally brightly.
Ye Wenxuan sat in the main seat, and the left hand side was lined up starting from Ran Yirou. On the right-hand side, starting from Cheng An, lined up.
Ye Wenxuan looked around, a smile on his face.
"Now we will carefully introduce the project invested by our Times Entertainment for Director Cheng. Ye Wenxuan said with a smile, and gestured to Ran Yirou after speaking.
Ran Yirou nodded, and then walked to the front.
opened the slide, and Ran Yirou began to introduce Cheng An and his group with pictures and texts.
"The film investment project of our Times Entertainment this time is the series of films "Three Lives, Three Worlds and Ten Miles of Peach Blossoms", which is divided into two films, and we plan to finish the two films in one go, both of which will be shot by Director Feng. ”
Ran Yirou finished the main thing first, and then continued.
"This time, our Times Entertainment will inject 700 million yuan into the project of "Three Lives, Three Worlds and Ten Miles of Peach Blossoms", excluding the cost of post-publicity, and 700 million will be used for film production. Entertainment in our era has always strived for perfection, and this time is a stepping stone for us to enter the film and television industry, so the success or failure of this time is very crucial. ”
Hearing what Ran Yirou said, Cheng Anxin was a little surprised.
Although the two films have a total of 700 million, and each drama is only 350 million, it is enough to be a big production for film production in my country.
With so much investment, if you want to return to your capital, you must at least triple the box office of 350 million yuan to protect your capital. In other words, only if the box office exceeds 1.1 billion, you can start making money.
Just to test the waters, Times Entertainment is so bold, which makes Cheng An slightly surprised.
"We have already started the construction of the scene, the post-design, and the green screen base are all under construction, and all the preparations are almost ready, as long as the actors are recruited, we can start the film. ”
"The male protagonist of the movie is played by Mr. Ye Wenxuan, the female protagonist we want to invite Zhao Feier to play, and the second female protagonist will be played by our Meng Tong to play the role of Bai Fengjiu. The rest of the roles are undecided, and I'll need to find them out on our own. Ran Yirou said directly.
Regarding the question of roles, since they account for all of the investment, they are naturally full of confidence.
When Cheng An heard Ran Yirou's words, he came up and left the heroine, the male protagonist and the second female, which made Cheng An frown slightly.
"Miss Ran, I have no opinion on Ye Wenxuan playing the leading role, I believe that Ye Wenxuan's acting skills are enough to support this play. But is it a bit hasty about the heroine and the second female lead, especially the role of Bai Qian, which is the most important thing. Cheng An put forward his own opinions, and felt that Ran Yirou's words were a little inappropriate.
Hearing Cheng An's words, Ye Wenxuan took over the conversation.
"Let me explain this, the role is set by me, and I will tell Director Cheng about it. Ye Wenxuan said with a smile.
"Let's talk about the role of the second female Bai Fengjiu first, Meng Tong is an artist I signed half a year ago. A large part of the reason why I signed her at the beginning was that I felt that he and my Bai Fengjiu were very suitable. After owing her, she has been studying acting.
And all I learned was about the role of Bai Fengjiu, although I didn't dare to say anything else, but she played the role of Bai Fengjiu, I think she is absolutely competent, there is no problem. ”
Ye Wenxuan said what he thought when he signed Meng Tong, and let Cheng An know that he didn't decide the candidate at random, but really after a deliberate decision.
Cheng An nodded slightly when he heard Ye Wenxuan's words, if it was according to what Ye Wenxuan said, then there would be no problem with this Bai Fengjiu to the other party.
"As for Bai Qian, I chose Zhao Feier because her temperament and personality are very similar to the role of Bai Qian. Temperament fit is the biggest advantage. What's more, Zhao Feier has already begun to learn acting, and has always wanted to enter the entertainment industry, and her acting skills are no worse than those of domestic first-line actresses, but she just lacks an opportunity. ”
These are not Ye Wenxuan's nonsense, but they are really like this.
When filming the album MV last time, Ye Wenxuan discovered that Zhao Fei'er's acting skills were extraordinary, and he was comfortable in filming.
Ye Wenxuan estimates that Zhao Fei'er's acting skills have almost reached the A- level now, but the micro-expressions are still slightly lacking, and they are already very good in general.
The role of Bai Qian was originally the temperament of an outer saint and inner charm. With a holy appearance, she is the Empress of Qingqiu from all over the world. Inside, he is a fox demon who has cultivated for tens of thousands of years, and the inner charm will still be revealed with a smile.
Such a temperament is a perfect fit with Zhao Fei'er.
With such a temperament and personality bonus, Zhao Feier's performance in this play is estimated to be no less than that of ordinary S-level acting people.
Of course, the whole Huaxia is so big, and it is definitely not just Zhao Fei'er alone. But who made Zhao Fei'er his Ye Wenxuan's woman, naturally he had to take more care of her.
And as early as two months ago, Ye Wenxuan told Zhao Fei'er about this plan, asking her to vacate the schedule, and step up her training skills, waiting for his notice.
Ye Wenxuan's explanation reluctantly made Cheng An accept.
Cheng An hesitated for a while and said, "It's not impossible for me to agree, but the two of them have to come over to try out and see if they can play these two roles." If my request is met, I will agree to them to play these two roles, but if not, then I will have to choose someone again. ”
Cheng An took a step back, but put forward his last request.
"Okay, this is as it should be, you can set the time of the audition. Ye Wenxuan has no opinion.
Hearing the two sides talking, Ran Yirou smiled slightly.
The previous things have been explained, and now the final link begins, which is the division of discussion and Cheng An.
This is sometimes quick and sometimes cumbersome.
This is related to the director's own interests, so this is naturally the top priority and needs to be discussed a lot.
The average director will not have a share in a play, and only the top and first-line directors in China can have this right.
The rest is basically a fixed remuneration, and the box office performance has basically nothing to do with the director.
But big directors like Cheng An and Feng Gang naturally follow the divided route.
The director's share is basically around 2 to 6 percent.
Don't look at the percentage of the share, but when converted to the box office of 100 million yuan, it is a huge profit.
The investment in this drama is 700 million, and if Cheng An accounts for 5% of the share, it is equivalent to Cheng An himself investing 35 million, so this remuneration is definitely top-notch.
But in the end, the two sides negotiated very well, and finally gave Cheng An a 3% share of the box office.
Although Cheng An is very famous, his qualifications are still not enough, and his works are not very stable. The three percent share is already very good, and it is very suitable for Cheng An.
In the end, the two parties signed an agreement and officially began to cooperate, and then began to discuss the film.
In the end, we talked about it until seven o'clock in the evening, and then it was over...
