Chapter 370: Talking about collapse
The negotiation with Zhao Wei has not been smooth, and the offer of 10 million has risen to 12 million and is still not satisfied, and insists on asking to bring capital into the group.
Hua Yi has already refused, and the audition announcement for the male number two has been sent.
Only one day later, the personal information received and the calls from various companies were countless, which completely broke Huayi's thoughts.
However, this did not shake Zhao Wei's determination to invest, and the opening was a share of 20 million.
You must know that the cost of their "Hong Kong" production + publicity is only 150 million, Xu Zheng alone took 10 million director's salary and 20 million actor's salary, plus Zhao Wei's 12 million, the two of them took 42 million.
There are other actors, whose salaries alone are as high as 55 million.
And this movie is also inseparable from a lot of publicity, Liu Dong and Berner directly allocated 60 million publicity expenses.
The remaining 35 million is the production cost.
This time, the investment ratio is still half of the two, Liu Dong holds 70% of the copyright, and Berner can't do anything about him, if you want to kick him away and pull Xu Zheng alone, Liu Dong can directly find Poly Media to shoot a "Hong Kong", the big deal is not Xu Zheng, and call Huang Bo back.
But the most troublesome thing is Xu Zheng!
At first, Liu Dong and Berner directly paid 30 million yuan to be sincere, and he did not ask for sharing and investment at the beginning.
It was not enough to see Hua Yi and Zhao Wei ask for shares one after another, and they also moved other thoughts.
In a conference room of the Berner Group, Liu Dong, who was waiting for Zhao Wei to come to the last negotiation, asked about it.
"Mr. Zheng, Xu Zheng told you?"
"He had this idea, and he tried it!" Zheng Ye frowned, obviously distressed.
"How much?"
"30 million, with a salary to buy shares!"
!
As soon as these two opened their mouths, they contracted a third of the investment, and at least nearly 20% of the profits were shared!
It's no wonder that Hollywood's series are more and more difficult to give birth to the later they go, just the salaries of various actors and directors in the early stage will kill people, and in the end, there will be a situation where investors lose money and actors make a lot of money.
"Don't care about Xu Zheng first, deal with Zhao Wei first, investment is absolutely unacceptable, and it is not okay to pay for shares, this opening can't be opened, otherwise Xu Zheng won't be able to talk about it!" Liu Dong said firmly.
"It's natural, but if she doesn't want to act, we really can't find a suitable actor!" Zheng Ye said worriedly.
His worries are not unreasonable, and the two heroines in the script actually form a contrast.
The perfect first love, height, looks, figure, knowledge, career, and family are all the most ideal types in everyone's hearts.
And the heroine is actually a yellow-faced woman who is ugly, and she is not as good as the second female in all aspects.
And it's not too easy for the entertainment industry to find a beautiful woman, as long as Liu Dong is willing, he can make the more than 9,000 rooms in the Forbidden City full of beautiful women.
But it is difficult to find an actress with an ordinary appearance, an ordinary figure, an age of more than 30, and a particularly famous actress, and no one is more suitable than Zhao Wei.
And Xu Zheng is reluctant to change the script, he doesn't want to write a simple comedy like the first two films, he has to play with feelings!
If the director's first goal is not to please the audience, the film is already half a failure.
However, Liu Dong did not force it, "Hong Kong" also took 1.8 billion anyway, and the lack of follow-up box office and the continuous decline in word-of-mouth are the excuses for his next film to reduce prices.
It's really not easy to find a suitable actor to play a housewife, TV series are a little better, you can find a lot of actors, but it's not good on the big screen.
"It's really impossible to talk about it, anyway, we're not in a hurry, if we can't catch up next year, we won't be able to catch up next year!"
The two set the tone, and would rather find an actor again than compromise with Zhao Wei.
More than 20 minutes later, Zhao Wei and her sister-in-law and agent Chen Rong arrived.
Zheng Ye, who was the director of this place, invited them to sit down, "Miss Chen, Miss Zhao, please take a seat!"
The negotiation was handed over to the agent, and Zhao Wei just watched quietly from the sidelines.
Seeing Liu Dong from a small supporting role to a super first-line star now, and even a boss, and he still has to film under him, Zhao Wei felt a little uncomfortable at first.
But now she is much happier in her heart, he has carefully studied the script of "Hong Kong", and the heroine is simply tailor-made for her, and the entire entertainment industry can hardly find a second candidate who can be replaced.
This is the confidence she dares to take advantage of Liu Dong and Zheng Ye.
"Mr. Zheng, Mr. Liu, I don't know what the two of you considered the plan we proposed last time!"
"Miss Chen, at present, our crew does not need outside investment, I appreciate your kindness!" Zheng Ye said with a smile.
"If that's the case, then we Zhao Wei may not have a suitable schedule, director Chen Kexin has invited her to star in a literary film about abduction..."
Before he finished speaking, Liu Dong interrupted, "It's called "Dear Child"!"
Chen Rong was surprised, "How did Mr. Liu know?"
Zhao Wei was also very shocked in her heart, Chen Kexin just looked for her with the script, and it was only the first draft, and the project had not yet been filmed, how did Liu Dong know.
Zhao Wei immediately thought about it, could it be that Chen Kexin told him? However, the relationship between Chen Kexin and Liu Dong was not good, and it was unlikely.
Liu Dong ignored their surprise and smiled disdainfully, "What kind of literary films, Chen Kexin has never made literary films!"
There are always people who define some youth films and romance films as literary films, such as "Sweet Honey", "Beijing Meets Seattle" and a large number of small and fresh campus films and nostalgic films in later generations, in fact, 99% of them are outright commercial films.
Even Chen Kexin himself said that he is not a literary film director, and the ending of "Sweet Honey" is to cater to the audience and the market.
This "Dear Child" is also a commercial film, trying to please the audience from beginning to end, and trying to sensationalize it in the hope that the audience will burst into tears.
The negotiations were still deadlocked, even if Liu Dong offered a sky-high salary of 15 million, Zhao Wei was still indifferent.
15 million, Zhang Ziyi is just this price, which is beyond the level of Zhou Xun and Li Binbin.
However, Liu Dong's price increase became a concession in Zhao Wei's eyes, and he still did not accept it.
It seems that the other party is determined to eat him, Liu Dong simply doesn't talk nonsense, "In that case, I hope we can have a chance to cooperate in the future!"
Chen Rong didn't expect Liu Dong to be so resolute, and couldn't help but look at Zheng Ye, "This... Mr. Zheng?"
"If Miss Zhao doesn't have a schedule, it will be a pity!" Zheng Ye spread his hands.
In the end, Zhao Wei left angrily, still thinking about how to arrange Berner and Liu Dong's stinginess.
In the conference room, Yu Zheng Ye had already dialed the phone number of the propaganda department.
"Notice, our high salary of 15 million to invite Zhao Wei to film was rejected, and the other party thought that the money was too little!"
After hanging up the phone, Zheng Ye looked at Liu Dong, "Zhao Wei can't afford to make any waves over there, after all, we have all opened to 15 million, now let's talk about Xu Zheng!"
"It's not impossible for Xu Zheng to invest over there, after all, he has a credit for this series!"
"How much should I share?"
"He's going to give 30 million, right?"
"That's right, he meant to get paid to take a stake!"
"That's okay, if you bother Mr. Zheng, you go and tell him, it's 30 million, and the dividend will be distributed in the same proportion!" Liu Dong thought for a while and said.
"What about our investment?" Zheng Ye instantly understood, he asked.
"Announcing that the investment in "Hong Kong" is 300 million, even if Xu Zheng earns 10% of the income, you and I will each take 45%, how about it?" Liu Dong said with a smile.
"Yes, yes!"
It's not the first time Zheng Ye has done the same thing, it's nothing more than diluting other people's shares.
"I'm not very good at this, so I'll ask Mr. Zheng!" Liu Dong said.
"Don't worry, several production departments are our people, and there will be no problems on the books!" Zheng Ye nodded.
