Chapter 141: Pull for Sponsorship
Movies are indeed very profitable, but only if there is a box office guarantee. It's not just Monkey Three who have a salary, even Xiong Daxiong and Erxiong Baby, but compared with Monkey Three, I'm embarrassed to say it, that is, to get a few boxes of milk powder money.
It is possible to realize the wish of many years, and Director Chu Zhengnan is in a very good mood. Especially in the afternoon, walking around with the tourists on the meadow, he unexpectedly saw the old eagle flying in the sky and the yellow sheep running on the ground, which made him even more satisfied, these animals are in his script.
And with the in-depth understanding, Chu Zhengnan finally discovered the source of all this, it turned out to be the little girl who couldn't speak. All the animals were very close to her, and seemed to obey her commands, even the two big stupid bears.
All right! Chu Zhengnan has always wanted to challenge the problem of filming animal scenes, and strive to make movies like "The Story of the Bear" and "The Fox" full of humanistic care, and it seems that most of them will fall on this little girl.
"It would be nice if there were wolves-" As the so-called lack of human hearts swallows elephants, in Director Chu's script, there is also a section where wolves need to appear, chasing the little monkey in distress and the boy who rescues the little monkey. Although there are wolves in the zoo, they lack that wildness, and they are not as fierce as dogs, so it is too difficult to shoot thrilling scenes.
Li Xiaopang is also keen on making movies, not only can bring an income, the key is that Director Chu said that the framing is here with them, this is simply the best advertisement, so he has always followed Director Chu, and when he heard him say this, he immediately took over the conversation: "Steppe wolf, we have it, it's just a little fierce, it's not easy to fiddle with-"
"The fiercer, the better!" Director Chu couldn't help but high-five again, and then asked again, "Do you have Siberian tigers here?" "Since you want to shoot, you must play a big one, and the Siberian tiger, the king of the mountains, must appear, which is shocking enough.
Li Xiaopang scratched the back of his head: "This is really not available at the moment, our forest here has just recovered, and we can't afford to raise it." "You know, the Siberian tiger is definitely at the top of the food chain, and without abundant food, it can't afford to feed at all. As for the current roe deer and sika deer in the black blind tun, it is estimated that in less than half a year, they will all enter the belly of the Siberian tiger. The reason why it is called one mountain and no two tigers is mainly because of the competition from food.
Director Chu was slightly regretful: "It doesn't matter, it's a big deal to go to the Siberian Tiger Garden to rent one." ”
In this more than a day, Li Xiaopang accompanied Director Chu and slipped the forest and meadow to it, and Director Chu was also very satisfied with the original scenery here, and said that after going back, he would immediately prepare for the crew and prepare to do a big job. This movie can also be regarded as his final work.
So, Li Xiaopang looked forward to it every day, night and night, but he waited for more than two weeks, and there was no letter at all, which caused Li Xiaopang to say every day: "Why don't we borrow a DV camera to shoot——"
Although he was in a hurry, Li Xiaopang also knew that the movie was really not something that he could play with as a layman, so he could only continue to wait.
Looking forward to the stars and the moon, I finally brought Director Chu here, and this time they came by a special off-road vehicle. This made Li Xiaopang so happy that he almost bubbled his nose: "Director Chu, when will we start filming, everyone is looking forward to it?" ”
He was too anxious, so he didn't notice that Lao Chu's face was unnatural. After muttering for a while, Director Chu finally spoke: "Little fatty, this time you are only afraid of being disappointed." I'm in the right place, and I only owe investment, and you probably don't know that making movies is a lot of money-"
It is said that Director Chu left the Black Blind Tun with great ambition, and then spread the news in the circle. At the beginning, everyone heard that Director Chu was going to come out of the mountain again, and the investor was worried about making a profit, and the actor wanted to show his face in Director Chu's new film. After all, Director Chu is now the oldest and most prestigious director.
But after understanding the synopsis of this movie, these people all retreated, because they all thought that Director Chu was a little old and confused, and he wanted to challenge animal play. In the new context where commercial films are gradually becoming mainstream, there is no future for this kind of film at all.
Therefore, investors don't want their money to go down the drain, and well-known actors also cherish their feathers, and they don't want to sink into the sand with Director Chu. The accumulation of these factors made Director Chu's enthusiasm go down the drain and he was in an embarrassing situation.
"It turned out to be poor money, so I'll invest!" Li Xiaopang patted his chest hard, he didn't want to lose this best opportunity to show the black blind man.
When Chu Zhengnan heard this, he was even more overjoyed: this black blind man can raise so many wild animals and contract such a vast grassland and woodland, he must be the master of not bad money, this is called a real local tyrant.
So he grabbed Li Xiaopang's arm: "Okay, this movie, it is estimated that the investment is 50 million, I dare to pack the ticket, I will definitely not make you lose money!" ”
What, 50 million?! Li Xiaopang felt that his legs were a little weak, if he hadn't been pulled by Director Chu, he would probably have sat there directly.
After taking a few breaths, he said: "Director Chu, let's make up 500,000 for you-" Even he himself was a little embarrassed to say, 500,000 is really a drop in the bucket compared to 50 million.
The disappointment returned to Chu Zhengnan's face, and he didn't blame Li Xiaopang for panting for words, after all, are people amateurs. If it was 20 years ago, 500,000 might have been able to make a movie, but now, it would be nice to be able to buy film.
When the money is used, Li Xiaopang now deeply understands this sentence. If he is given a few more years, after the black blind man has a large output, he may really be able to come up with this fund. But now, everything is in its infancy, and I can't wait to break a penny in half and spend it, so I can only look at the money and sigh.
But he has the same mind as Director Chu, and he really can't leave this movie. Kaba's eyes were small for a long time, and Li Xiaopang still didn't give up: "Director Chu, if the animals on our side don't need an appearance fee, and you can streamline the people and horses, build a grass platform team, and save money, how much budget will you have?" ”
"The minimum is 10 million!" Director Chu gritted his back molars and squeezed the number out of his mouth. I really can't save it anymore, otherwise, I might as well not shoot a bunch of garbage.
Smack, Li Xiaopang patted his thigh: "Then there is hope, I'll try to see if I can pull some sponsorship!" ”
In the afternoon of the same day, Li Xiaopang went to the county in Director Chu's car, and went to the county government in a hurry, found Director Liu, who had been promoted to deputy county magistrate, and informed him about the filming. He talked about the benefits of making movies in the Black Blind Tun, and the positive publicity for the county, etc. In the end, the intention was revealed: the county should sponsor it.
Deputy County Magistrate Liu also showed great interest at first, but as soon as he heard that he was asking for money, he immediately turned into a bitter gourd face: "The county will definitely support and cooperate with the work of the crew, and manpower and material resources can be provided, but there is no fund." We are a national-level poverty-stricken county, and the county's financial ......"
What he said was smoother than Li Xiaopang, in short, he couldn't come up with the money. However, if there is strong support in personnel and materials, it can also leave a sum of money for the crew. And the exchange condition is just to add an extra subtitle at the end to assist in shooting.
Although he was slightly disappointed, Li Xiaopang still expressed his gratitude, and after saying goodbye and going out, he discussed with Director Chu whether to go to Duolunuoer to turn his fate into a fate.
Director Chu's face is very ugly, as a well-known director, he really has never had this kind of experience. But thinking about it in order to realize his long-cherished wish to make a film, he still nodded with difficulty.
So I drove to Qixingpao, and after seeing the female flag chief, I expressed my intention, and the female flag chief also said that I couldn't help, and official investment in this kind of thing is now more taboo.
After repeated setbacks, Li Xiaopang was also a little disheartened, and when he turned back to the black blind Zitun, he happened to see Sister Lin bring another batch of new tourists. Seeing this girl, Li Xiaopang's eyes lit up: Isn't this a little rich woman in front of her!
"Sister Lin, prepare 10 million!" Li Xiaopang and Sister Lin are not polite at all, they really take the girl as if they are their own sisters.
"Fat brother, you might as well sell me." Sister Lin's baby face was also wrinkled, she finally scavenged a sum of money from her brother, and then opened a travel agency, and now she has just seen the money back.
Li Xiaopang put his brain up and took a closer look at Sister Lin: "It seems that it is not worth 10 million if it is sold." ”
"What do you say?" Sister Lin puffed out her cheeks and punched Li Xiaopang's shoulder.
Li Xiaopang was not annoyed, and still smiled: "Let's get down to business, this money is used to make a movie, and it was filmed in our Black Blind Tun, and Monkey San is the starring role." When the time comes, I'll discuss with the director and give you a few shots! ”
This is suspected of falsely transmitting the holy decree, with Director Chu's consistent and rigorous style, it is obvious that he will not agree to this kind of human drama.
Sister Lin took it seriously, of course, it was not that she wanted to act in a movie, but that she was happy for the monkeys, and the little girl was not stupid, so she must seize such a good publicity opportunity. After some consideration, he happily agreed. But there is no 10 million, and she is going to move 5 million flowers to her brother first.
Five million is a lot - Li Xiaopang has always been content, and before he could touch the remaining five million, Sister Lin took out her satellite phone and called it, it was for Wu Qingluan, and after a few words, she finalized another five million.
All of them are little rich women! Li Xiaopang could only sigh, and then everyone sat together to formally discuss the investment.
There are no hypocrisy, so the assignment was quickly completed: Director Chu is responsible for coordinating the overall situation, and Li Xiaopang is mainly responsible for logistics and providing animal actors; Sister Lin and Wu Qingluan each invested 5 million, and the Quartet each accounted for 25% of the shares. If the movie has revenue, it will be divided according to this ratio.
"Why do I think it's a bit egalitarian?" After reaching a preliminary verbal agreement, Li Xiaopang began to fool around again.
Sister Lin gave him a roll of the eyes: "It's too much, then give us some." ”
Li Xiaopang pouted: "I mean a little little, believe it or not, I called the monkey three and they to strike." ”
"Then I won't lead either." Lao Chu also knew that he was joking, so he quit first.
Sister Lin is not far behind: "Then we will also withdraw our investment!" ”
Everyone laughed together: How can this movie be filmed?
