The time passed quickly, and Nortel's directing department had more of him, but it didn't change in the slightest, just one more piece of news on the school's official website.

"A new director born after 85 has entered the director department of our school to study."

Then it was reprinted by major media, and everyone knows that the director who filmed "Crazy Stone" went to school. That's all, there was not the slightest noise to Shao Shuaijun, because he was thinking about how to set up a studio. The studio's first film has entered the state of preparation, and Ning Hao got the two million start-up funds for the first phase and began to look for actors and venues everywhere.

Huayi's shares, Zhao Cheng is negotiating, Wang Zhonglei has also met Shao Shuaijun twice, for Shao Shuaijun is willing to invest in shares, Wang Zhonglei and Wang Zhongjun are very supportive, Shao Shuaijun has potential, can be tied together through shares, which is beneficial to both parties. Now we are waiting for the consent of the Tom Group.

Is it to spend an extra $30 million for a 35% stake, or only $10 million for a 30% stake.

30 million is not much, it's only 4 million dollars.

But spending an extra $4 million is just 5% more than a 5% stake, and you need to think it through.

Shao Shuaijun was very unhappy about the delay of the Tom Group. The TOM Group only spent $10 million, which can account for 30%, and it is still procrastinating, which is too petty. If it weren't for the fact that TOM Group spanned major fields and could help Huayi stabilize the capital market, don't even think about this price, Shao Shuaijun would have to take more shares even if he sold himself.

"This Tom Group is really, if you want to buy it, buy it quickly, I broke my mind and went to buy Apple stock. Now the most profitable listed companies, even Apple's price is okay, and there is a lot of room for appreciation. One more day of delay, how much less money do I make! ”

It is no wonder that Shao Shuaijun is angry, he knows that the stocks that will rise in the future are Internet or high-tech companies such as Penguin and Apple. The penguin has been listed, the stock has been copied to an incredible price in just a few days, and now there is nothing to be made from it. Apple has begun to recover from the three-year stock market crash, and now is a good time to get started.

However, there is also good news, the invitation letter sent to Red Star Dock received a reply letter from Red Star Dock, Liu Xiaoli wants to meet Shao Shuaijun. Discuss the performance of the film in person. Liu Xiaoli is Liu Yifei's mother, and Red Star Dock is a brokerage company founded specifically for Liu Yifei's acting career.

At the Starbucks café, Shao Shuaijun met Liu Xiaoli. Although she is old, Liu Xiaoli is still very charming, it is said that she was more beautiful than Liu Yifei when she was young, I don't know if it's true or not.

"Hello Director Shao, what do you want to drink, latte or cappuccino?" Liu Xiaoli took the initiative to ask, looking like a strong woman.

"Hello Ms. Liu, I don't like to drink coffee, just plain water, let's talk about business first."

"It's okay, I read the invitation letter and the script outline from your studio, this is a very novel science fiction movie, and the story is very interesting. I wonder, why did you choose us to play the heroine? You are now a contracted director of Huayi, why don't you look for actors from Huayi? ”

"To be honest, there is a long list of my choice of heroines, Liu Yifei is not one of them, and there are three reasons why I chose her in the end. First, I also like acting, I will star in this movie myself, and I hope to have a female star of a similar age to match. Second, the selling point of science fiction movies is the word science fiction, love as an embellishment, it does not account for a large proportion, but it can adjust the whole plot well, I have imagined many kinds of love before, and in the end, I think that the simple love of young people is more attractive, after all, everyone has been young. Third, this is more far-fetched, Liu Yifei is an American citizen, and Lao Mei is somewhat affinity. To sum up, I chose Liu Yifei, does Ms. Liu still have doubts? ”

"I understand, I also believe in Director Shao's vision and ability, and we are not honored to be able to appear in this movie. I'm basically satisfied with the content of the shooting contract, but there are a few that need to be discussed. ”

"Please."

"First, there is a kiss scene in the movie, and I hope it will be indicated in the contract and played in the form of a borrowed seat. This is not the usual way to shoot kiss scenes. ”

"Can't be accommodating?" The first one made Shao Shuaijun frown, he was not a disciple, and he didn't mean to take advantage of Liu Yifei. The point is that the plot in the movie is a bit monotonous, and it needs love to embellish it, and the kissing borrowed from the position, can it still be considered love? "Ms. Liu, my film has intentions for overseas markets, especially the American market. Borrowing the position of the shooting, may not please the Americans. ”

"If you don't say it, who can tell?"

"Well, this one can be agreed." Shao Shuaijun thinks about it, it is good to cover it up by taking a position, and he really can't see it.

"Second, every Monday, Wednesday and Friday afternoon, there are no private vocal lessons to learn, I hope Director Shao can consider it when filming, and don't shoot scenes during this period."

"Yes."

"Third, the salary of 500,000 yuan is too low, and we are not famous now, Director Shao thinks it is really only worth this?"

Shao Shuaijun shook his head: "I know that Liu Yifei's current worth is worth one million, let alone a million." But I'm sorry, 500,000 is the maximum limit I can come up with, and I'm not afraid to tell Ms. Liu that the investment in the film has not been negotiated yet. You know, my idea for the movie is to invest a cost of 50 million, and it may even involve a cost of hundreds of millions, and it is a science fiction film, which is too risky. For some reason, my studio can't afford to invest in it, and Huayi can't invest it in full. I can only pull investment while reducing the shooting cost and actor remuneration. ”

"But 500,000 looks like a sarcasm that is not worth it."

"I can't say that, this is a science fiction film, an authentic science fiction movie, and it will be an epoch-making one in the history of Chinese film. You have also read the content of the story, there is a basis for a big hit, I think that Liu Yifei can participate in the movie, and the enhancement of her personal fame will be unparalleled. Ms. Liu, I won't tell lies, 500,000, I can't take more, if you don't agree, I can only say regret. ”

Shao Shuaijun spread out his hands and showed his attitude. He has his difficulties, the investment in the film is called hundreds of millions, which is an exaggeration, but it should not be less than 50 million, and science fiction movies can account for eighty percent of the investment just by burning money on special effects. With so much investment, he will definitely not be able to come up with it himself, Huayi is distracted by the financing of Tom Group, even if the financing is completed, he does not dare to invest so much at one time.

He has only made two films so far, both of which are small-budget, and his first blockbuster directing is still science fiction, a theme that is almost extinct in China.

Investments are hard to find!

We can only reduce costs and try to win investors.

Liu Xiaoli picked up the coffee and took several sips, then nodded slowly: "I trust Director Shao, I hope Director Shao can make this movie with his heart, and he is not still young, as a mother, I don't want a bad movie to ruin her future." ”

"Don't worry, I won't joke about my future either."

"Then, happy cooperation, on behalf of Liu Yifei, I agree to play the heroine of the movie "Source Code"."
