Faced with Boss Han's cold water questioning.

Wang Qinian did not retreat in the face of difficulties, but said confidently: "It is precisely because of the serious analysis of the lessons of the failure of "Journey to the West" that I will have the confidence to make "Journey to the West: The Great Sage" a successful film and make it a popular movie that does not lose money!" ”

"Oh?" Hearing that Wang Qinian was so confident, everyone was curious and listened.

Wang Qinian knew that he had to convince these bigwigs.

Because, if you want to shoot a mythological theme like "Journey to the West", you not only need to bother, but also need to spend money!

With the current financial resources of the partner company, it is impossible to independently undertake the investment budget of "Journey to the West: The Great Sage". If the investment fails, the script can only be eaten in the drawer, and the preparatory work in the early stage will be in vain.

"The failure of Mr. Stephen Chow's "Journey to the West" at the box office has already been said before, the market is too small, the publicity is not enough, and the budget is too expensive! Even so, the box office of "Journey to the West" in Hong Kong, the mainland, Taiwan and Southeast Asia combined, 4ooo million is there! After deducting various expenses from the box office in various places, the investor should get more than 18oo yuan. It's a pity that the total investment cost of this film is 250,000 yuan, so I lost money! After learning the lessons of "Journey to the West", we must first pay attention to the problem of cost control! Of course, the cost control is on the premise of not affecting the quality of shooting! Wang Qinian seriously analyzed the form.

"So, how do you control costs without compromising quality?" Everyone asked curiously.

Wang Qinian said: "First, I will take the lead and compress the salary!" I don't want to be paid as a director and screenwriter, if I look at the market price, my personal salary as a director and screenwriter is worth at least 2oo yuan, and now this money will save a lot of money! ”

Wang Qinian mentioned that his salary was worth two million, although it was a bit high. After all, he only made a blockbuster movie.

But squeeze out the water, please add up Wang Qinian's directing and screenwriting fees, and the salary should not be less than 1oo thousand!

Therefore, Wang Qinian mentioned that he didn't want his salary, and everyone nodded one after another, feeling that this was indeed an effective cost control and lowered the budget by one million.

"In addition, Li Jie, Hao Yi, and Du Jie don't want to be paid, they are worth 1oo thousand, this is the minimum, right?" Wang Qinian continued.

Li Xie nodded and said: "Well, several shareholders of our little partner company have already discussed it, and they are all paid to participate in the show!" ”

At this moment, the senior executives of the three companies all showed interest.

As an investor, who doesn't want to reduce the cost lower, so that the rate of return will be higher and the investment risk can be effectively reduced.

Wang Qinian saw that the three potential investors began to show interest, and continued to strike while the iron was hot and said: "The above is about throttling, and then let's talk about open source!" As an investment, our income is more than just the box office! The actual income from our investment includes box office revenue, video disc revenue, TV copyright, publication of the novel of the same name, music album, and album publishing. With the box office and publicity of the movie, several other major copyrights can also be wiped out and make a fortune! For example, publishing is the same, although it is not as profitable as a movie, but even if you only make 3.3 yuan from selling a book, you can make a million profits by selling 3o million copies! The same is true for music, excellent movie music, albums can also be sold for money! Also, the concept art we are showing now is very beautiful, with artistic appreciation value, published into a picture album, properly promoted, and can also be sold! ”

President Huang of Relay Publishing House nodded and said, "Mr. Wang's book is indeed easier to sell. The novel version of "The Gate of Destiny" has more than 3o million copies! In addition, the manga "Rose Girl" published at your own expense is also selling very well now, right? ”

Wang Qinian nodded and said, "Yes!" ”

"Well, if Brother Wang can make a few more good music like the one in "The Gate of Destiny", it would be great!" Mr. Song of Maitian Music gave a thumbs up, "Just for your musical talent, I can invest two million yuan." As long as the music is handed over to us! ”

Wang Qinian and Song Ke have collaborated twice in music. The first "Little Apple" song, an album with this song as the main song, has sold a total of 350,000 copies.

And "Gate of Destiny", the album with the same name as the movie, also sold 230,000!

With the help of two best-selling albums, Song Ke's Wheat Field Music Company has become one of the top ten music companies in China!

"We relay the publishing house, and we are also willing to invest 15o yuan!" President Huang of Relay Publishing House said with a smile.

Mr. Han of Beijing Film Studio pondered for a while and said: "Wang boy, what is the total budget of your movie?" ”

""Journey to the West" will be split into two parts and released, and we will have one! Therefore, the budget is half of "Journey to the West", that is, 1.25o yuan! Wang Qinian said with a smile.

"Poof!" When everyone heard this, they almost choked.

The total box office of Wang Qinian's last "Gate of Destiny" movie was only in the early tens of millions. The total budget of Wang Qinian's new film has exceeded the box office of the previous movie, why is he so confident.

"Why don't you gamble?" Wang Qinian said, "Our little partner cultural company and a few shareholders are ready to jointly invest 45o yuan!" ”

Everyone wrenched their fingers to settle accounts.

The small partner company contributed 45o yuan, wheat field music contributed 2oo yuan, and relay publishing house contributed 15o yuan, that is to say, the investment intention of 8oo yuan has been determined.

The rest depends on how much Beijing Film Studio invests, and everyone looks at Han Sanping.

"Well, the remaining gap, my factory has invested, 45o thousand! This money can still afford to gamble! After all, Han Sanping is still a heroic and bold big man, and he has invested in bigger investments, so why be afraid of such a small investment?

"Of course! Well, I wish all of us a happy cooperation! Wang Qinian said with a smile.

"Happy working together!" Everyone glanced at each other, feeling that they were all comrades in the same trench.

"Journey to the West: The Great Sage" ties four companies together with a rope!

In terms of the investment of 1.25 million yuan in "Journey to the West", only considering the domestic box office revenue, it must reach at least 550,000 box office to recover the cost.

However, if you include video discs, TV copyrights, novels of the same name, music, albums, and overseas box office markets, the domestic box office income is acceptable.

But in any case, the domestic box office target must be set at more than 350,000 yuan! Otherwise, the recovery of investment costs will be more suspenseful!

In terms of Wang Qinian's previous investment of 5o yuan in "The Gate of Destiny" and won tens of millions of box office! This time it is an investment of 1.25o yuan, and it makes 35oo yuan at the domestic box office, which should be challenging and not very challenging!

Of course, the premise is that the quality of "Journey to the West: The Great Sage" must pass!
