Chapter 67: Funding Issues
Night, Tang and Song's home!
During this time, my mother Tang Dazhi was busy every day for the movie "To Our Dying Youth", and it was common to go home in the middle of the night.
Therefore, dinner was eaten by Tang Song and his mother Gu Mingyue.
Gu Mingyue said, "Tang Tang, mom read the news of that competition, you did the right thing, mom supports you!" โ
Tang Song nodded, "Mom, you are really my own mother." Come on, eat more! โ
"Go aside, if my mother doesn't say this, it's not your own mother!"
"No, no, I didn't mean that!"
"I'm telling you, you can have such a high IQ, it's all because of my mother's genes!"
"Yes, yes!"
After dinner and helping his mother clean up the housework, Tang Song returned to his room, and just turned on the computer and was about to interact with the fans when the mobile phone rang.
It was a mixed-race beauty calling.
"Tang Tang, what are you doing?" That sweet voice came over the phone.
"Didn't do anything, what's wrong?"
"It's okay, I can't call you!"
"No, I didn't mean that." Tang Song said with a smile,
"That dream-themed poetry contest, I watched it, and I support you. Really good! In particular, the song "You Are My Eyes" is even more brilliant, which makes people fascinated! "I really appreciate it.
"Yes, I'll just sing it!" Tang Song said very modestly.
"It's like that, you know? This song has already entered the 1000 degree music chart. If you sing casually every day, will this make the singers unable to live? The half-breed beauty laughed.
Tang Song smiled and said, "Then I'll be dumb from today onwards!" โ
The mixed-race beauty laughed twice and said tentatively, "Tang Tang, can I ask a question on behalf of your novel fans?" โ
"Yes!"
"When will the new book come out?" Your fiction fans are going crazy, haven't you read the reviews? โ
"I've been busy lately and forgot to read it!" Speaking of this, as soon as Tang Song turned his head, he saw a famous book "Journey to the West" on the computer desk.
In this world, although there are no Tang and Song dynasties in the history of the Chinese Kingdom, there are still the famous works "Journey to the West" written by the Ming Dynasty novelist Wu Chengen. It's just that the author imagined a Tang Dynasty out of thin air.
During this time, Tang and Song were indeed very busy. Naturally, he will not forget his dream of being a master. The moment he saw "Journey to the West", many film and television works and works appeared in Tang and Song's minds, and the most impressive ones were "Journey to the West" and "The Legend of Wukong".
You must know that in China on the earth, after the publication of "The Legend of Wukong" in 2000, it attracted the majority of netizens to read **, and has the reputation of "the first book on the Internet", not to mention the honors and awards it has won.
"Then you tell me quietly, what genre is the new book? It's always okay. The half-breed beauty then asked.
"It's a book related to "Journey to the West", but it's definitely completely different from the famous book. The idea of the story has been almost thought out. That's probably it! "Tang and Song have already decided, and the next novel will be written "The Legend of Wukong".
There was silence on the other side of the phone for a few seconds, and then the voice of a mixed-race beauty came,
"Tang Tang, I advise you to write the youth type, or else, I'm afraid"
"What are you afraid of, afraid that book lovers won't buy it?" Tang Song said with a smile. The influence of "The Legend of Wukong" has been verified on Earth. At this point, Tang Song was not worried at all.
"That's right!"
"Don't worry, who am I, Tang Tang, a future master, how can I only write one type of work, in that case, wouldn't I be suspected of eating the old book!" Tang Song said domineeringly.
"Butโwell, if you think well, then leave it up to you!"
After Tang Song hung up the phone, he began to make the outline of "The Legend of Wukong" according to his memory, and at this time, his father Tang Dazhi came back.
In the living room, Gu Mingyue stared at her tired husband and asked,
"What's going on today? What difficulties did you encounter? My son is back, why don't you talk to him? โ
Tang Dazhi waved his hand, "Let him rest, besides, he can't help this difficulty." โ
"What the hell is going on?"
"I don't know the specifics, but according to rumors, some shareholders of this group have withdrawn their shares, and the original investors in "To Youth" seem to have withdrawn their capital. Alas, you say, now that everything is in place, there is a problem with this funding again. Alas! โ
"Alright, this problem is not something we can solve. Wash up and rest early! โ
If it is a well-known director, it is not a problem to find an investor at all. However, who made this movie Tang Dazhi's Virgo. If the group's funds are cut off, then it is like a boat without water, unable to move forward in the slightest.
"Alas, don't talk about it!" Tang Dazhi suddenly seemed to remember something, stared at Gu Mingyue and asked, "Is it okay for my son to come back?" There is a lot of negative news about him on the Internet? โ
Gu Mingyue glared at Tang Dazhi fiercely, "You think it's all like you, learn from your son, and be optimistic in everything." The son's mind is no problem with putting ten Atlantic. What can you do, you say? โ
The conversation between my father and my mother, Tang and Song listened to it. This is Dad's first movie, Tang Song is not allowed to have any problems, it seems that he should go to Han Bingxue tomorrow to ask about it! โโ
At half past nine in the morning of the next day, Sunshine Film and Television Culture Group, the president's office!
"Why not?" After the song, Su Yuting stared at Han Bingxue and said word by word.
She has understood the situation, and the current Sunshine Film and Television Culture Group is like a virtual shell, and everyone is waiting to see her jokes.
The previous movie "To Our Dying Youth" group planned to invest 20 million, but the so-called plan could not catch up with the changes, Han Bingxue knew in his heart that the withdrawal of those investors was inseparable from the members of the board of directors and the Birdman Film and Television Group.
But what could she say?
Because, all of this is within the scope of legal principles.
Han Bingxue smiled, "I have my principles, just like you have yours." What's more, I know you as well as you know me! โ
After a pause of two seconds, Han Bingxue continued, "Others don't know your actual situation, I don't know yet." After the song, that is already you, your popularity is plummeting, and you have lost all your money by investing in the stock market one after another, otherwise, how can you lower your face and even use unscrupulous means to get the copyright of the two songs "To Youth" and "Soyoung" in the Tang and Song Dynasties. โ
In the past two years, Su Yuting, the queen of songs, has almost no best-selling songs, which is far less than when she was popular. However, she is genuinely interested in this movie, and it can be said that she likes it to the point of no reason.
"So what? Your current situation is far worse than mine! After the song, Su Yuting said truthfully.
"Okay, I'll figure out a way to solve the problem of funds, you don't care!"
"You are still holding on, in front of me, do you still need a cold president style?" After a pause, Su Yuting blinked her eyes and said thinly, "Han Bingxue, you won't want to find Cheng Mubai, right?" In that case, it would be tantamount to a sheep falling into the mouth of a wolf! โ
And just then, there was a chaotic knock on the door.
Tang Song was very depressed, the door of the office was still locked in broad daylight, could it be that there was any ulterior secret?
However, when he saw the person who opened the door, Tang Song was stunned for a moment, and the dignified singer personally opened the door for herself, this treatment is definitely the number one!
"I said, in broad daylight, what are you doing in there? I also locked the door and told me the truth, is it playing some heavy game? Tang Song looked at the detective's possession in the room, and glanced at the clothes of the two women several times.
When Su Yuting, the queen of the song, heard this, she said angrily, "Perverted! You think it's all like you! โ
"What's wrong with me? Where is the perversion? How do you know? Tang Song's eyebrows moved, and the implication was obvious, if you say it again, I will publicize the things that were in the car in the parking lot.
The queen of the song naturally saw it, gave a fierce look back, and then sat on the sofa next to her.
At this time, Han Bingxue spoke, still with a cold expression of the president, "What are you doing here?" โ
Tang Song went straight to the point, "I heard that there was a problem with film funding? Let me make sure! โ
On Earth, the filming cost of "To Our Dying Youth" plus publicity expenses cost more than 60 million.
A good movie must be backed by strong funding.
He could have taken risks himself, but he couldn't let his father's first work take risks. In terms of funding, it must be strong enough.
"Who did you listen to?" Han Bingxue asked rhetorically.
"Whoever I listen to, you don't care. You just answered yes or no, right? Tang Song said directly and simply.
When Han Bingxue was about to say no, Su Yuting took the lead after the song, "That's right, now she can come up with no more than five million funds!" โ
Hearing this, Tang Song suddenly had an urge to scold his mother.
Million?
Tang Song immediately jumped up, "Five million? Tease me, a huge group, it turned out to be only 5 million shooting costs, didn't you say 10 million before? โ
"That was before, and that's all there is now! Who let the investors be pulled away by Birdman Film and Television Group. Su Yuting's tone was a little indifferent.
After understanding the actual situation, Tang Song gritted his teeth and said,
"I don't care what you think, this film is my dad's first work, and it has to be well funded. I still have nearly three million in my hands, all of which I have invested in! โ
These money come from the manuscript fee of Shixian Network, the remuneration given by Miku Video Network and Singularity Chinese Network, and the copyright fee given by Beijing Publishing House, excluding the donation to the Hope Project and fan Liu Ruyan, Tang and Song Dynasties have so much left.
"Do you think she'll want it?" Su Yuting looked at Han Bingxue.
"You have to ask for it, and you have to ask for it if you don't want it." Tang Song then turned around and left. He did it all for his father.
Tang Dazhiren still hasn't realized his dream of directing in middle age, and he doesn't want to disappoint his father again.
When he walked to the door of the office, Tang Song's voice sounded again, "I'll figure out a way to get money." โ
Ten minutes later, the group's finance department called.
"President Han, I just received a fund ...... of 3.63 million"
When Han Bingxue answered the phone, Su Yuting, the queen of the song, was next to her and could hear it clearly.
"It turns out that you eat hard and not soft!" smiled, and Su Yuting, the queen of the song, said loudly, "According to the original plan, I will go back to prepare for the concert." I hope that with "To Youth" and "Soyoung", the record will sell well! โ
Han Bingxue knew the meaning of Su Yuting's words, and the money for the concert and the record was invested in the movie "To Our Dying Youth". However, unless the record is a big sale, otherwise, the funds will have to find a demon Cheng Mubai.
