Chapter 245: Investment
In the blink of an eye, it was Friday again, and that afternoon, Ye Luo received a call from Huanyu Qian Hao.
"Xiaoye, isn't our MV not good enough, are you not satisfied?" After some greetings, Qian Hao said this.
Ye Luo was stunned for a moment and said, "Teacher Qian, you are my elder, you talk to me, you don't have to detour, what is the matter?" ”
"Recently, I see that the number of MVs you ask us to do is getting less and less." Qian Hao said.
"Oh." Ye Luo thought about it, it was really like this.
In the past, the singers in Ye Luo's hands, Rob and "Sisters", had not signed a contract with a record company before, so their song MVs, including Ye Luo's own, were all commissioned by Huanyu, but now, they have signed with a record company.
Huanyu is the largest film company in Shangdu, the work is indeed beautiful, but the price is correspondingly high, Qian Hao's price for Ye Luo is a friendship price, 100,000 yuan a song, but it is not the same price for other record companies, record companies will most of them for cost considerations.
Thinking of this, Ye Luo smiled and said, "Teacher Qian, the MV is actually quite important to me. But for you, it's just a meal and a dish, not a big part of your income. In this way, if you have any film and television drama songs, you can find my studio to do it, and I can give you a discount on the price, my own people, everything is easy to say. ”
"Hehe, that's what you're waiting for." Qian Hao smiled, "The last time "Smiling Proud of the Sea", because of your song, the publicity effect was very good, and the schedule was scheduled for December, and now I think it's too late, I knew that the National Day would have been dropped."
This time, I happened to be preparing another movie on my side. A biographical movie about Zhou Xuan, the queen of songs in the thirties and forties of the last century. This movie, the music has a lot of weight, and if you can get out of it, that's great. ”
"Oh, is the script set?" Ye Luo asked.
"The script is set." Qian Hao said. "But because of the nature of the film, I plan to get the music first, and then shoot the scene according to the song. It's the same as the last time Zhou Ke filmed an extra scene because of your tune. ”
"That's fine." Ye Luo said, "You can show me the script first, I will make a tune according to the script, and then you will shoot according to the tune and script." What do you think? ”
"Okay." Qian Hao was very happy, "Then it's decided." The music budget for this film is five million. I'll give you two million as a deposit. ”
"Hmm." Ye Luo nodded, suddenly remembered something, and asked more, "Mr. Qian, the protagonist of this movie, is it decided?" ”
"I was really asked by you." Qian Hao sighed, "The other roles are easy to handle, that is, the heroine who plays Zhou Xuan." It's hard to pick. What don't you know about the current audience? Can you sing as an actor or not? A search on the Internet is clear. So if it's just lip-syncing, the authenticity is too poor.
So this actor must have a good appearance and be able to sing, but actors and singers are two industries, and we don't have much crossover in China at present. Go to the art school to pick new seedlings, and the temperament of a generation of singers can't hold up. ”
Ye Luo said: "Then how about I recommend someone to you to choose?" ”
"Oh?" Qian Hao smiled, "Then you can talk about it." ”
"Qin Shiyue." Ye Luo said.
"She?" Qian Hao paused, "It's okay to look good, and you also have a temperament." But how about acting, Zhou Xuan's life is very bumpy, and it is not easy to perform. ”
"You can let her try it out." Ye Luo smiled, "I heard that she has studied acting, and she has recently taken on some small roles on the set. It's just that you, a big people, shouldn't notice her. ”
"That's good." Qian Hao said, "Since you recommend it, I'll let her try it, but I can't guarantee that it will be used." ”
"You let her try this, if it's suitable, you can use it, if it's not suitable, it doesn't matter. But ......" Ye Luo thought for a while, considered the words, and said, "I'm not very familiar with the showbiz, if there is some messy things, don't let her get involved." ”
"Haha, don't worry, I can't control other film and television companies, we are in the world, there is no such thing." Qian Hao laughed, "However, if you are really not at ease, it is better for you to invest some money in this movie." In this way, even if Qin Shiyue wants to find a backer, he can only find you. ”
Ye Luo was stunned for a moment, thought about it, felt that this was really the truth, and asked, "Then how much is the investment in this movie?" ”
"This movie, because it is a biographical film, not a commercial film, so we are still relatively conservative in terms of market expectations. The investment is not large, the bulk of the expenses are still your movie music, and the rest of the miscellaneous things we calculated, with a total investment of 20 million. What is already in place is our own 10 million, and there are still 10 million, and I still have to ask for sponsorship. ”
"So be it." Ye Luo said, "The five million for film music, Huanyu doesn't need to give it to me, when I invest in technology, then I will give another five million, make up 10 million, and invest in this movie." What do you think? ”
"Oops! Other people's money, I won't blink when I take it, but your money, Xiao Ye, uncle, I'll tell you the truth. Qian Hao said, "Film investment is very risky. And the return cycle is not short, even if filming starts now, the release will be in the second half of next year, no one knows what the box office will be, you have to think clearly. ”
"Hehe, I'm not in a hurry to use the money now anyway, so it's decided." Ye Luo said with a smile.
"That's okay, I've really lost money when I turn around, you are not allowed to go to Niu Xueyi to complain!" Qian Hao said.
"I can't afford to lose." Ye Luo said confidently.
"In this way, it is reasonable to be reasonable, Qin Shiyue, the heroine, has been decided." Qian Hao smiled, "Xiao Ye, in order to support her, you are willing to pay for it." ”
Ye Luo smiled, he invested in this movie, in fact, it was not purely to praise Qin Shiyue, he did have the confidence to recover the cost, as for how much he earned, it was hard to say.
"Character selection." Ye Luo said: "You are still businesslike, if she really can't do it, she should change it." ”
"Okay, I know it. Well, tomorrow morning, you have her come to me for an audition. Qian Hao said.
"Okay."
After hanging up the phone, Ye Luo asked Tang Jinxiu: "Miss Tang, how much money is still in our studio account?" ”
"More than six million. Three million is the promotion fee paid by 'original good music', and the other three million is the share of the music momentum last month. Tang Jinxiu reported an approximate number, "But for the specifics, I have to ask Miss Li." ”
Li Xiuyun is the treasurer, and the specific accounts are in her hands.
Ye Luo nodded: "Then you will draw up a film and television sponsorship contract, a total of 10 million, Party B is Huanyu, if you don't understand the contract details, you go and ask Lawyer Shen Lan and Teacher Qian Hao." ”
"yes, okay." Tang Jinxiu nodded in response.
After instructing the assistant, Ye Luo dialed Qin Shiyue's mobile phone.
"Sister Qin, there is a role that allows you to try out the mirror, are you interested?" Ye Luo asked.
"Huh?" Qin Shiyue was stunned for a moment, and immediately said, "Of course I'm interested, but I'll say okay first, my acting is just a side business, don't you just want to push me out like this." ”
"Anyway, why don't you care." Ye Luo smiled, "Zhou Xuan, you know, right? ”
"Zhou Xuan? The last generation of singers? Qin Shiyue said, "Of course I know, I have read her biography several times." ”
"Hmm. Tomorrow, you go to find Teacher Qian from Huanyu, there is a new movie, which is Zhou Xuan. The character you audition for is her. Ye Luo said.
"Wow! I want to play Zhou Xuan?! Qin Shiyue's voice suddenly rose an octave, and the original lazy and soft tone disappeared without a trace.
"Don't get excited, it's just an audition, whether you can win it or not, it depends on your own ability." Ye Luo said, "You can prepare well today, and go early tomorrow morning." ”
"Hmm!" Qin Shiyue responded, and then her tone returned to normal, "Ye Luo, thank you, I will definitely try my best to win this role, and I will not waste this opportunity you gave me." ”
"Just play well in acting, you don't have to worry about other aspects." Ye Luo said.
"Anything else? Is there anything else? Qin Shiyue asked suspiciously.
"No, even if there is, I'll settle it." After Ye Luo said this, he hung up the phone.
Hung up the phone and looked at the watch, it happened to be the point when he got off work, Ye Luo looked at Tang Jinxiu, who was contacting the sponsorship contract, and said with a smile: "Don't be in such a hurry, take your time, and do it tomorrow." ”
Tang Jinxiu waved his hand: "Boss, you go first, I'll go back immediately." ”
"Hmm. Don't be too late. Ye Luo nodded, opened his email, and sure enough, Qian Hao had already sent the script over, Ye Luo printed out the script together, put it in his bag, and planned to go back at night to flip through it, and then got up and walked out of the studio.
As soon as he walked out of the door of the studio, Ye Luo found that Hu Jianing next door also happened to come out, dressed in a suit and leather shoes, and at a glance, he knew that there was an event at night.
"Have a date tonight?" Ye Luo asked. Recently, Hu Jianing has a spring face, and it seems that the relationship has developed very smoothly.
"Hey, yes." Hu Jianing rubbed his hands, "Why don't you lend me your car to drive?" ”
"Okay." Ye Luo smiled, "But send me home first, don't worry?" ”
"No hurry, no hurry." Hu Jianing said with a smile.
The two walked outside the recording studio, Ye Luo gave the driver Lao Cao some change, asked him to take a taxi home, and then asked Hu Jianing to drive, and Ye Luo sat in the co-pilot.
"Brother Hu, how many bases have you and your future sister-in-law been on on board?" Ye Luo asked gossipingly.
While driving, Hu Jianing glanced at him and asked rhetorically, "How many bases have you played with your future siblings?" ”
"This is the woman who is going to marry the door, and I am not in a hurry." Ye Luo smiled.
"Isn't it?" Hu Jianing said with a smile. (To be continued......)
