Chapter 135: Preparing for the filming of "Journey to the West"

……

After a long time, Sun Mingliang let out a sigh of relief, looking at An Ran's eyes, there was still a strong worry that could not be dissolved, and his tone was a little deliberate, "These two reasons are reasonable, I agree with them in principle, but, Xiaohu...... Have you ever thought about investing in this film?

If you just plan to play casually with a small cost of millions and have the mentality of grabbing a handful and leaving, I think it's better to forget it, and the impact on your future is almost fatal. ”

An Ran looked at Sun Mingming's serious expression, squinted and smiled and stretched out five fingers, "Fifty million!" My initial budget is 50 million. ”

After Sun Mingliang looked around the office, he sighed dejectedly, "Say, are you planning to sell the building or sell yourself." ”

Enron: ......

In the previous life, the first part of "Journey to the West", "Moonlight Treasure Box", was filmed in 1994 with an investment of nearly 25 million Hong Kong dollars.

According to the exchange rate at that time, the conversion into RMB was about 25 million, and that was in 1994, a full nine years had passed before Enron's rebirth, and more than 20 million yuan at that time was placed in 2013, how much?

An Ran can't calculate the exact number, but in this life, it will be at least about 40 million, besides, in the previous life, "Journey to the West" was originally filmed by Xing Ye's own company and starred by himself, and of course the salary was not included in all the investment, so An Ran said that the budget of 50 million is not much.

"Let's be serious, where does this money come from?"

After listening to Enron's previous two reasons, and this amount of budget, Sun Mingliang already understood that Enron was not joking, nor was he hot-headed, this kid. Seriously.

An Ran pondered for a moment, "Counting all the funds that I can mobilize, there is still a gap of about fifteen million." ”

"Huh?" Sun Mingliang looked up in astonishment, "You...... Where did you get so much money? ”

An Ran smiled helplessly, it was not enough to make a "Journey to the West", it was really much.

"The Legend of Wukong" with a price tag of 28 yuan. More than 2 million copies have been sold, and the royalties signed by "An Fusheng" and Star Publishing House are 40%, and more than 27 million copies of the more than 2 million copies can be obtained in the end.

In addition, on TT Book City, all the subscription and reward income of several books, even the "Legend of Mortal Cultivation of Immortals" that has been on the shelves for just one month, are all counted in Enron, and it is probably in the early four millions.

Finally, there is TT Music, the income of all songs paid downloads, and the total number of paid downloads is currently more than 9 million. After deducting the share of the website platform and deducting the tax, the part that has been taken out before the deduction is less than 4 million.

Together, 35 million Chinese dollars were finally made, and the remaining 15 million had to be thought of.

Listening to An Ran's calculations, Sun Mingliang lost his mind for a while. Thirty-five million is not a very scary number, for the real rich or capital predators. These tens of millions are not enough to even buy a villa, but if you put it on a seventeen-year-old boy...... This has to be shocking.

"Uncle Liang, I'll solve the funding gap, and after the New Year, I'll take care of this and other things. I'm going to ask you for the first time. ”

Sun Mingming's expression was still a little apprehensive, and he rubbed his eyebrows peacefully, "The Legend of Wukong" will start filming in April next year, and "Journey to the West" wants to take this bus, and it must keep a certain synchronization with the actions of Oriental Film and Television.

In all the preparations. The question of funds is not a difficult problem for him, and he already has some plans in mind.

The difficulty lies in the advance preparation for the filming of the film, which is obviously more suitable than Sun Mingming, who is a newcomer in the entertainment industry and has been in the circle for 20 years.

"First of all, Uncle Liang helped me search for two reliable assistant directors, as well as machinery and equipment, I will make a list for you later, these are not in a hurry, the key is the actors, behind the booklet of the script, there are several character requirements attached... Hmm..., except for the role of Supreme Treasure, for the rest, Uncle Liang will help me find it first......"

Register a film production company, find an assistant director, organize a film crew and other departments...... These have to be handled from scratch, fortunately, although Sun Mingliang is not satisfactory in the entertainment industry, he is also in the name of a company boss, and the old man of the Sun family also worked in the cultural department back then, and there are still some contacts in this area.

As for the actors, in addition to starring in Supreme Treasure, An Ran already has a definite candidate, and several others, including Tang Seng , the second master , Bai Jingjing , Chun Thirteen Niang, and even Caixia and other starring roles, can only let Sun Mingliang first look for those with experience and acting skills, and whether it is suitable in the end also needs to be checked by An Ran himself.

And in this play, An Ran is not ready to go into battle in person, firstly, there is no role suitable for him to play in the entire "Journey to the West", and secondly, because Enron asks himself that he does not have the level to direct and act himself, and in the end, it is likely that he will not be able to take care of both ends, which will outweigh the losses.

Although I don't know where Enron got so much confidence that he could get the funds in more than a month, since Enron can't even say that the biggest financial problem is a problem now, Sun Mingliang has nothing to say.

Sun Mingliang stood up, shook his head with a wry smile, "It's not okay to be old, yes, I'll follow you crazy, anyway, this company is yours now, let go of the toss......"

As for whether Enron can adapt to the role of director? Do you really know how to go about filming? Sun Mingliang didn't even ask, so that none of the several reasons that Enron had prepared came in handy.

It's not that Sun Mingliang is already planning to break the jar, but An Ran made his debut from singing, including writing novels, and he has created too many miracles along the way.

Just look at those classic tunes, as well as Enron's achievements to the present, including the best-selling novel "The Legend of Wukong", and the increasingly influential "Harry Potter...... Which of these things would an ordinary boy do?

Sun Mingliang is not superstitious that An Ran can do anything, but this seventeen-year-old little guy, in Sun Mingliang's cognition, can no longer use common sense.

Moreover, as he himself said, although he also has thirty percent of the shares, but in general. The company is now Enron, how to toss, Enron will do it himself.

In just a few months, you can earn this 40 million net worth, so take a step back and say, even if this movie is really messed up. Sun Mingliang is not worried that Enron will collapse because of this.

……

At this time, Sun Mingliang organized people to prepare for the movie, but a group of employees of Huaxia Brothers Company were stunned.

Our company wants to make a movie? In the entire office area, everyone stared at each other, and it was not until half an hour later that a huge wave of cheers erupted.

Ninety-nine percent of the company's employees are young people, and although there are some voices of doubt and concern, the vast majority of people are excited to hear the news.

Although he didn't know what movie he was going to make, Sun Mingliang kept silent. The mysterious appearance, but these young people still burst out with great enthusiasm, and they have asked to join the newly established film preparation department.

On the other hand, An Ran flipped through his schedule, except for the daily novel update, which takes up at least half of the time, the rest is the recording of songs by several singers.

There is still half a month left, and the finals of Li Xiao's talent show are about to begin. The second new song "Fly Higher" has been recorded, just waiting for after the finals. Upload TT now.

Mu Xiaoxiao's tune, it took a week, and I did another editing, and now it is being handed over to the company's promotion team to do it, and I can't see any effect in a short time, and I have to wait a few more days.

As for Bi Xiaoxi. An Ran calculated the time, there were less than two months left before the original bet with Song Jingxuan, and the recording of the song went very smoothly, but the problem was the promotion later. I can't rush it for a while.

Before the start of the filming, the problems of these three singers must be solved one by one, and he will throw all the funds on hand into the movie at one time, so the company's side, in the next nearly a year, can only rely on the singers trained by Huaxia Brothers themselves to maintain the company's operation.

In this way, Enron will have no worries.

Making movies is a money-burning business, and An Ran calculated, the 35 million in his hand, after the preliminary preparations, I am afraid that there will not be much left, so although there is a gap of 15 million in front of him, the more money the better.

As for where to get these fifteen million?

An Ran opened the notebook, clicked on the browser, and entered the author area of TT Book City.

The content of "Harry Potter" stopped at the end of the fifth episode, and the author "An Fusheng" made an announcement more than a month ago - because of the plot and publication reasons, "Harry Potter" will be temporarily suspended, and it will not be available to everyone until after the New Year at the earliest.

Of course, the suspension will definitely be strongly protested by some readers, but the reason for this suspension is finally explained, and the nature of the eunuch incident is not the same as the last eunuch incident.

And, after all, writing such a huge work requires careful conception, An Fusheng has been performing very well since the last eunuch incident, two chapters a day, nearly 20,000 words a day, even the most discerning readers, can't say anything, so the vast majority of Harbin fans have also expressed their understanding of An Fusheng's announcement that he wants to stop sorting out his thoughts.

In the book review area of "Harry Potter", the atmosphere is peaceful and friendly, in addition to discussing the plot, many book reviews hope that An Fusheng must take care of his body while working hard, and it would be great if he could show up to organize a book club or something.

For the father of "Harry Potter", who has always remained mysterious and low-key, millions of active Harry Potter fans at home and abroad hope to see the truth as soon as possible, especially the [Fusheng Society], which has been established for more than a month.

Although there has been little progress during this period of time, in this group, the age groups include the four generations of local tyrants who are old, middle, young and young, and they usually chat happily with each other.

However, the calm of the past is destined to be broken on this day.

"An Fusheng has made a big single chapter!"

"Huh? What's the situation? Didn't you say you were going to stop for a while? Could it be that An Fusheng has already sorted out his thoughts and resumed the update? ”

"So fast? It's great, it's been a month or so! ”

"Woo...... I'll take a screenshot and see for yourselves. ”

Looking at the screenshot of the latest content of "Harry Potter" posted by "He Xiaomin", the TT group of [Fusheng Society] immediately fell into a depressing silence.

"Because there have been fans asking about the next plot and publishing, I will reveal a little about the recent progress of writing and publishing.

The plot of the next three parts has been sorted out, the publication is being discussed, and it may be as soon as the New Year, and all eight parts of "Harry Potter" will be available to everyone.

As for the next direction of the content, I can only regret to say that a happy ending is impossible.

It is with great sadness that I have to inform you that there are important people who will leave us forever......"

Reading this, the content behind it, the fans of [Fusheng Society] can't stand it anymore, and the TT group has completely exploded in the blink of an eye.
