Lei Juekun negotiated terms with Chen Shaoyi, but this investment was not Lei Juekun's private investment, but was handed over to Xinyicheng. Pen? Interesting? Pavilion wWw. ｂiquge。 Although Lei Juekun's private investment can get greater benefits, but the new art city is the root of Lei Juekun's entry into the film industry, behind the back of the new art city, Lei Juekun's own private cooperation with Chen Shaoyi is definitely not a wise choice. Therefore, after Lei Juekun went back yesterday, he brought back the script of "Best Partner" and handed it to Mecca, and talked with Mecca about cooperating with Phoenix Pictures to shoot "Best Partner", as for whether Mecca cooperates with Chen Shaoyi, that is the matter of Mecca, the general manager of the new art city, and Lei Juekun does not want to continue to interfere.

After carefully reviewing the script overnight, and after studying Huang Baiming and other senior executives of the new art city, Mecca unanimously and firmly believes that this "Best Partner" is definitely a very good script, with a good plot, suspense, high investment, and big scenes, no matter which aspect it looks at, this "Best Partner" is a rare masterpiece. After "Best Partner" was filmed, the attraction to the audience was absolutely huge, and there was no need to worry about the box office at all.

Therefore, for co-producing this "Best Partner" with Phoenix Pictures, this kind of transaction with low risk and high return, and Lei Juekun also agreed, Mecca and others naturally will not object, but approve of it.

Today, Mecca came to Phoenix Pictures to visit Chen Shaoyi, just to formally sign a contract with Phoenix Pictures, and at the same time hand over six million to Chen Shaoyi, so that the crew can be formed as soon as possible.

For a big production like "Best Partner", it will take at least two or three months to shoot, and if you want to get a piece of the pie in the summer and take a big cake, you should shoot it as soon as possible.

After some greetings, everyone sat down again, and Mecca smiled at Chen Shaoyi: "Mr. Chen's ability to write scripts is really admirable, the scripts he has written so far are extremely good, and this "Best Partner" is a rare masterpiece. ”

"Director Mai has won the award."

"I haven't won an award, Mr. Chen's script is good or bad for all to see, this "Best Partner" was created by Mr. Chen, the script itself is well written, and Director Xu is the director to shoot, I believe the prospects of this drama are very good."

Chen Shaoyi smiled at Mecca's compliment, and did not say anything more modest, too modest would be hypocrisy, and it would not be conducive to the next negotiations.

Mecca continued: "Mr. Chen has already talked to Boss Lei yesterday, let our new art city account for 30% of the income of the drama "Best Partner" with 6 million funds, since we have invested so much money in New Art City, then the movement of this fund must be clear to our New Art City, so I think the producer of "Best Partner" is best served by our new art city, what does Mr. Chen think? ”

The director is the soul of a film, responsible for shooting the film and managing the entire crew; The producer is the steward of a film, and his main job is to be responsible for the overall budget of the film crew and the logistics of the film production; However, the executive producer also supervises the director's artistic creation and prepares the specific shooting plan of the film.

Therefore, the producer is definitely a pivotal figure in the crew, and it can be said that the producer's rights are greater than the director's at a certain level, because the producer can control the director, but the director can't control the producer. A crew is a small river, and for the rights of the crew, the director and producer generally have some contradictions.

Therefore, it is impossible for Chen Shaoyi to give up an important position that may affect the filming tasks of the crew, and he will not give it to Xinyicheng.

Chen Shaoyi didn't think about it, so he retorted: "Director Mai's words are wrong, when it comes to the amount of investment, Phoenix Pictures is larger than Xinyicheng, so the producer must be produced by our Phoenix Pictures, of course, Xinyicheng also has funding, so you can also provide a financial contribution to assist our producer to supervise the expenditure of the crew." ”

Mecca pondered for a moment and asked, "Who does Mr. Chen want from your company to be the executive producer?" ”

Chen Shaoyi said with a smile: "You don't have to bother others, Director Xu can be the one himself." ”

Let Xu Ke be the director and producer, Chen Shaoyi has considerations.

Originally, Chen Shaoyi, as the boss and the largest investor in the film, was the most suitable to serve as the producer, but Chen Shaoyi also had to shoot "The Next Stop" during this time, and he himself had a very heavy shooting task, and it was difficult to manage the two crews well. Moreover, Chen Shaoyi is still a little worried that Xu Ke will be poached by Mecca, so he must give Xu Ke some trust and support.

To be honest, if the director and the producer are the same person, there is only one voice in the crew, without supervision, it is very easy for the director to make some small actions, what trust Chen Shaoyi will give Xu Ke when he does this.

Sure enough, after hearing Chen Shaoyi's words, Xu Ke looked at Chen Shaoyi with an excited expression. Chen Shaoyi glanced at it and was still very satisfied.

Mecca didn't have the position of producer, because he knew that Chen Shaoyi would never be willing to give up the producer, and if Mecca was the biggest investor, he would not hand over the producer to others. However, Chen Shaoyi's choice of Xu Ke to be the producer was still a little surprising and unexpected.

Mecca glanced at Xu Ke, and I don't know what he thinks, maybe he wants to sell a favor to Xu Ke, or there are other reasons, in short, in the end, Mecca did not object to Chen Shaoyi's proposal, so that Xu Ke served as the director and producer of "Best Partner".

Mecca continued: "Since Mr. Chen didn't dare to make a producer, then the director team must have people from New Arts City. ”

This condition is not too much, Chen Shaoyi thought for a while, agreed, and said: "This is okay, who does Director Mai want to be the assistant director of the crew?" ”

"Zeng Zhiwei."

"Zeng Zhiwei?"

Chen Shaoyi felt that this matter was really interesting, and after going around and around, Zeng Zhiwei finally got involved with "Best Partner". Thinking that Zeng Zhiwei was the director of "Best Partner" in his previous life, if he assisted Xu Ke, it was also a very rough choice. Moreover, he invited Zeng Zhiwei to serve as the emcee twice, and his relationship with Zeng Zhiwei was not bad, so Chen Shaoyi agreed very happily to Zeng Zhiwei as the assistant director.

In fact, both sides were interested in cooperating with each other, so things went very smoothly, and after a while of back and forth discussions, everything was quickly negotiated and the contract was signed.

After the contract was signed, Mecca didn't stay in Phoenix Pictures for long, refused Chen Shaoyi's warm invitation, and soon left Phoenix Pictures, he wanted to go back to Xinyi City to discuss today's matter with Lei Juekun and others. (To be continued.) )
