"The budget of "Best Partner" is 8 million!"

Seeing the budget table of the second half of the new art city, Ye Tian was shocked, it was really a big deal, the cost of his "Get the Father-in-law" was less than 600,000, and 8 million Hong Kong dollars could make more than a dozen "Get the father-in-law" type of films, if you compete for the income, "Best Partner" is lost, but the purpose of the new art city is not so simple, it has only been established for two years, and the star-making project has been launched, Xu Guanjie is the trump card used by the new art city to fight against Jiahe Chenglong.

Hong Kong's star system took shape in the 50~60s, and matured in Li Xiaolong's era, when the new art city company was first established, the financial resources were not abundant, but when filming "Best Partner", it spent a huge amount of 2 million Hong Kong dollars to invite the emperor superstar Xu Guanjie in the film and music industry at that time to star, all aspects of the film are designed around Xu Guanjie, in addition to the 2 million salary, the new art city also promised Japan 5% box office dividends, 5% seems to be very little, but the benefits in hand should not be less than 1 million, Therefore, Xu Guanjie's salary is more than 3 million, comparable to superstar Cheng Long, a few days ago, Ye Tian heard Cheng Long boast that Golden Harvest invited him to film, and the salary soared from 1 million to 4.6 million, because it was the first play, the salary was much higher.

"Funny Times" and "Happy Fairy Nest" are both low-budget films, although these two films are profitable, but the new art city is not satisfied, but "decided to increase production, increase manpower, and show its strength", so Xu Ke was invited to direct "Ghost Horse Zhi Duo Xing", this film is completely different from the popular Chu Chu costume drama in Hong Kong, "Ghost Ma Zhi Duo Xing" is very Westernized, the set and costumes are gorgeous and bright, giving the audience a refreshing feeling, the result of the film was a great success, and made the modern and luxurious streamlined comedy become a trend.

Recalling that almost all of the films produced by New Arts City are large-investment, aimed at the mainstream market, perhaps related to the production strategy of large-scale investment, in the fight scenes, the characters in the urban action comedy of New Arts City often show a strong desire to destroy, and they do not feel distressed when destroying property. As far as subjective motives are concerned, this may be that Xinyicheng wants to "smash" the money in the open. As far as the objective effect is concerned, in today's Hong Kong, with the rapid development of the economy and the acceleration of the pace of life, the psychological pressure of Hong Kong people is increasing.

……

Someone's coming!

Vaguely hearing the footsteps outside the door, Ye Tian put the information documents back in place, held the teacup, and calmly read the newspaper.

"Ahem!"

Mecca, who entered the door, coughed deliberately, and Ye Tian stood up and looked back as if he was frightened.

"Hello, Mr. Mai!"

"You are Ye Tian, Sanmao asked you to come to see me?"

Mecca looked at Ye Tian, and was very puzzled in his heart, he also thought that Ye Tian was a martial artist with five big and three thick, who would have thought that he would be so young, and he couldn't see anything outstanding, how could Hong Jinbao send such a person to him.

"Sit casually!"

The rumors were indeed true, Ye Tian saw that Mecca's eyes were red and swollen, and his face was tired, and he knew that the Seven Monsters had a one-night meeting.

"Mr. Mai, in fact, I talked to Brother Hong about filming a few days ago."

Mecca's eyes flashed, he heard Zeng Zhiwei mention this, there would be no fake, and asked casually: "What film does Sanmao want to make?" ”

Ye Tiandao: "The script was written by me, a spoof comedy. ”

Mecca rested her elbows on the desk, leaned forward, and laughed: "Sanmao is not making ghost movies?" ”

"What kind of film to make is still up to the market to decide." Ye Tian pretended to smile, but complained in his heart that Mecca didn't ask the point, if it was a script problem, he would take the opportunity to take out "Best Partner" and get to the point as soon as possible.

Mecca pointed to the script on the coffee table and asked, "What's that?" ”

"Script."

"Is that the script you wrote for Sanmao?"

Mecca looked at Ye Tian with a smile, and thought in her heart: This kid came to Chengcheng, and handed him the book that Sanmao wanted to shoot, as a vote? This is troublesome, I have such a good relationship with Sanmao, do you want to accept it? If you don't accept it, it will fall into the hands of Jiahe, and if you accept it, will Sanmao be angry?

Ye Tian handed the script to Mecca and said meaningfully: "Mr. Mai is interested, you can take a look at it first." ”

"Then you're welcome!" Mecca took the script, with wishful thinking in his heart, if it was a bad script, he would coax Ye Tian away, as if he hadn't seen him, Hong Jinbao was easy to explain, if the script was wonderful, he would accept it, as for Hong Jinbao, he could put the responsibility on Ye Tian's head and give some benefits afterwards, as for how Hong Jinbao found Ye Tian to settle accounts, it was none of his business.

The wishful thinking was very good, but Mecca's face became more and more ugly, after reading a few pages, he looked up at Ye Tian, continued to read, and wanted to speak several times halfway, but he endured it, and his heart turned upside down.

Half an hour later, Ye Tian saw that Mecca was still pretending to read the script.

"Mr. Mai?"

"What's the matter?"

"What do you think of the script?"

"It's exciting!"

"Don't you have any doubts?"

"Ahem, this is the script you wrote?"

"I wrote it."

Ye Tian was very awkward in his heart, this Mecca always played cards according to common sense, and the negotiation skills he prepared in advance were not used at all, Xu underestimated the other party, Khan! In the future, we must pay special attention to this, we can't underestimate these old fritters, since we can't lead Mecca by the nose, we must be careful to let Mecca lead by the nose.

Is this the script that Sanmao received?

Mecca, who was calm on the surface, was angry in his heart, and it was clearly written as "Best Partner", why did it fall into the hands of Golden Harvest? If Golden Harvest shoots, what will they shoot in Xinyicheng, will they let the two "Best Partners" fight in the ring, if this is the case, no matter whether the box office wins or loses, Xinyicheng is a doomed party.

"Mr. Ye, I need an explanation!"

Ye Tian smiled and gestured, "Please speak." ”

Say what?

Mecca was stunned, he wanted Ye Tian to explain, paused, raised the script in his hand, and said with a cold face: "You know what this is, our new art city signboard, your creation of this script is infringement, I can sue you at any time!" ”

Ye Tian said seriously: "I wrote a script in private, if Mr. Mai feels that I have violated the rights and interests of your company, you can modify it." ”

"How?"

"Changed the name of the protagonist, so it has nothing to do with New Art City."

"Nonsense!" Mecca couldn't help but stand up, slapped the table hard, and scolded: "Isn't changing the name an infringement!" ”

Ye Tian sneered: "Our eldest brother don't say second brother, as far as I know, the creation of "Best Partner" by Xinyicheng is also an imitation of the American blockbuster "007", why do you sue me, fifty steps and a hundred steps of laughter!" ”

This sentence went to Mecca's death hole, "Best Partner" really came from the wrong way, lit a cigar, spewed clouds and smoke, and said calmly: "Say, what do you want?" ”

Ye Tian stood up, took two steps forward, and looked at Mecca across the desk, he was a little taller than Mecca, and he looked down a little condescendingly.

"The script can be sold to you, I have one condition!"

"Price, condition!"

"Let's talk about the conditions first, I have a movie here, and I want to use your company's relationship to release it in Golden Princess."

Mecca took out the cigar and exclaimed, "Are you from Golden Harvest?" ”

Ye Tian shook his head and denied that Princess Jin fought with Jiahe and the Wei clan, and Mecca also became a frightened bird.

"Then you're from the Tsui clan?"

"I only represent myself, and I paid for the movie myself!"

"Which studio?"

"Oriental Entertainment!"

"I haven't heard of it!"

"I just started a film company."

Mecca nodded, a small company with a small name, a bold boss.

"Why don't you go directly to Princess Jin, but come to me to negotiate conditions?"

"I can only meet a low-level management when I go to Princess Jin, and in the end, I don't know how much time will pass before I can formally negotiate with Mr. Lei, I can't wait that long." Ye Tian looked serious, Princess Jin's attitude towards Xinyicheng was different from that towards other film companies.

Mecca stared at Ye Tian for a while, not only bold but also ambitious, and said abruptly: "Let's talk about the price of the script." ”
