Chapter 43 Bottom Wrapping and Dividing Accounts
In the end, Lin Qingxia naturally did not appear in "Dream Essence", because there is really no suitable role, and there is no need to adjust the role specifically for this, Zhang Xiaoye is just joking when he says this.
From the start of the movie to the completion of Qin Xianglin's scene, Lin Qingxia, the fiancΓ©e, came to visit the class many times, but the relationship between the fiancΓ©e seems to be far less close.
To put it mildly, this may be called being out of affection and stopping at courtesy, but in fact it may be that there is a distance between the two.
After all, there is still a Qin Han, and Qin Xianglin still has the title of "Charlie of the Flower Heart", and he was entangled with Deng Lijun before he got engaged to Lin Qingxia.
Zhang Xiaoye doesn't know what the emotional entanglement of these three people is, he is now a melon-eating crowd, quietly playing the identity of the audience, and in this way, "Dream Essence" is finally finished.
For independent directors, he really owes some heat now, so Lin Zhenying and Liu Guangwei actually do more work as directors, but everything they do is strictly in accordance with his requirements.
How to shoot, what shots to use, etc., are all done according to his wishes, and Lin Zhenying and Liu Guangwei are more like his assistants, helping him deal with those things that he has not yet executed.
It took nearly two months before and after, and the investment has exceeded 3 million, and the shooting cycle is a bit too long for such a low-cost production, which is mainly due to Zhang Xiaoye's lack of experience.
If it can be completed faster, it can save a lot of investment, after all, there are so many people in the crew who eat and drink Lazar for a day, and it costs a lot of money to eat and drink Lazar, if you completely leave the matter to Lin Zhenying and Liu Guangwei, the problem of speeding up is actually very simple, but there is no need for it.
Although it took a lot of time and increased the cost, it was all worth it, no matter what he learned, he had to practice to really master it, and with this experience, his understanding of being a director also made a qualitative leap.
Although the money was spent, it was spent very happily, and after the announcement of the finale, Zhang Xiaoye said: "The movie has been successfully completed, thank you for your support to me, let's find a hotel to celebrate in the afternoon, I have a treat, everyone is not drunk and will not return." β
"Long live the director." As soon as they heard that Zhang Xiaoye was invited, the crew cheered, and even Li Lizhen clenched her little fist and shouted "Yes".
Yuan Jieying looked at her and said, "Isn't it just a dinner invitation, why are you so excited?" β
Li Lizhen pouted and said: "He took advantage of him so much, I want him to have some blood, see that I don't eat him." β
"Don't say it, Ah Zhen's idea is really good."
Luo Meiwei felt that it was very reasonable, so when she arrived at the hotel, Zhang Xiaoye hadn't said anything polite, the three of them had already grabbed the menu and ordered a lot, and they were all more expensive.
Zhang Xiaoye looked at the three of them speechlessly, and said, "You guys have discussed it, can you finish ordering so much?" β
"You don't have to worry about that, you just need to pay the bills." Yuan Jieying said confidently, Li Lizhen nodded vigorously on the side, and said, "We just want to eat you." β
"Yo, the ambition is not small, but you have to spend a lifetime to accomplish this goal, I am ready to pack your meals for a lifetime, are you ready to eat?" Zhang Xiaoye said and touched Li Lizhen's head.
Li Lizhen's face turned red when she heard this, and she twisted it, and Luo Meiwei punched it and said, "You don't forget to flirt with girls at any time." β
Lin Zhenying and Liu Guangwei were accustomed to this, and watched with interest on the side, Zhang Xiaoye coughed twice and said, "Uncle Nine, Uncle Wei, you two are welcome." β
"We're not polite to you." Liu Guangwei smiled and said: "Yezai, now that the movie has moved to the later stage, Mr. He asked me to ask you, what do you think about the release?" β
Zhang Xiaoye's shining film studio is now his boss and three actors, which can barely be regarded as an independent production company, and does not have the ability to distribute, so if you want to release a movie, you still have to rely on cooperation.
At present, there are three cinema lines in Xiangjiang, namely Golden Harvest, Shaw Brothers and the Golden Princess of the Xinyicheng family. In the 60s and early 70s, Shaw Brothers and Golden Harvest produced and released films in a one-stop manner, known as the big factory system, and their cinema chains only showed their own films, only the predecessor of Golden Princess, Lisheng Cinemas, specialized in showing films from small and medium-sized companies.
Later, both Shaw Brothers and Golden Harvest further opened up to the market, and the Xiangjiang Cinema Line also formed a bottom-up system. The so-called bottom system is that the production company pays the theater fee every day, and the amount of money is fixed for a long time if it wants to be released.
This kind of system is completely because the theater chain is afraid of losing money, and after the bottom package system is adopted, no matter whether the movie released is watched or not, the bottom fee must be determined, which completely transfers the risk to the production company.
In 80 years, Lei Juekun took the lead in breaking the bottom system after acquiring Lisheng Cinema and changing its name to Golden Princess, and Golden Princess was the first to adopt the account-sharing model, which greatly reduced the pressure on the production company, so now companies like Siyuan Pictures like to cooperate with Golden Princess.
On the one hand, you need to take the risk alone, if the movie fails, not only the production cost cannot be recovered, but you also have to pay a sum of money. On the one hand, there is a win-win situation of risk sharing, and it is actually easy to choose how to choose.
However, Zhang Xiaoye's situation is different, the filming of "Dream Essence" Jiahe helped a lot inside and out, Chenlong Hong Jingbao They are all Jiahe people, in this case, of course, he can't go to Princess Jin or Shaw Brothers for release, so it's too unkind.
Liu Guangwei asked, and he smiled and said: "I really have to ask Mr. He for the release, not only in Xiangjiang, but also in the Waifu market." Uncle Wei, what is the base fee of Golden Harvest Cinema now? β
"Because of the relationship between Princess Jin, Golden Harvest has reduced the bottom fee a lot, and you have to negotiate the exact amount." Liu Guangwei then said: "Yezai, what Mr. He means is that if you want to adopt the account sharing model, you can also do it. β
"Is it okay to split the account?" Zhang Xiaoye is ready to cover the bottom, and it doesn't have much impact on him whether the bottom is covered or the account is shared, and the copied movies can definitely guarantee the box office, and there is no pressure at all.
But if you have a choice, of course, it's better to divide the account, Liu Guangwei nodded and said: "I listen to Mr. He, now Jiahe is also preparing to abolish the bottom system, after all, Princess Jin is so engaged in attracting many small and medium-sized film companies, and if she doesn't follow up, the distance will be pulled farther and farther." β
Jiahe's reduction of the bottom fee has not achieved any effect, and the account-sharing model itself is also a general trend, and it is not surprising that it will want to follow up now, Zhang Xiaoye said: "That's okay, just divide the account, and wait for me to take some time to talk." β
