Chapter 433: The Bitter Fan Master
MK2's Duteron watched the trailer of "No Thieves in the World" and gave an evaluation: interesting. But after listening to the details of the overall story, the evaluation became: WHY?
For Mao Silly Gen in his twenties, he still hasn't had the slightest defense?
He does not deny the concept of simplicity, but simplicity must also be based on basic thinking ability and social cognition, otherwise it is called a patient.
For Mao Wangbo and Wang Li, for the sake of stupidity, a dream of two hundred and five will have to work hard?
OK! You can say that human nature is complex and sublimated, but in his opinion, it is a pool of clear water, which is clear when you open your eyes, and it is worthless.
In a word: forcible kindness.
Chu Qing was quite helpless when he heard it, this is not only a matter of understanding the movie, but also an obvious difference in ideology. However, based on many previous collaborations, Duteron still agreed to see the finished film first, and then specifically consider the release.
In contrast, MK2 is much more enthusiastic about On the Road.
This time, they did not ask for agency, but directly offered a price of $850,000 to buy out the global rights in the Chinese-speaking area. Cheng Ying talked with the other party for two rounds and raised it again, and the final price was $1 million.
Chu Qing felt acceptable, the main "On the Road" did not have as much influence as "Blind Well", if it took the form of dividends, it would take a long time to recover the lost profits, and he couldn't afford to wait.
The cost of the film is 5 million yuan, and now the two families are divided equally, which is a small profit. So he signed the contract with ease, and then on May 25, he returned to the capital.
Hua Yi expressed a great welcome to his return, firstly, "No Thieves in the World" was finally able to catch up, and secondly, they did not expect that that kind of broken film was actually quite funny.
Because on May 15th, the Beijing University Student Film Festival has closed. "On the Road" won two awards: the Special Jury Award and the Most Popular Actress Award among college students.
Now coupled with the weight of Cannes, it is enough for Huayi to decide to send this film to theaters, of course, the publicity expenses are not prepared to pay more. It is a little bit to be able to earn, and it is not a loss anyway.
……
Dusk, study.
It's almost summer, and the daytime is slowly getting longer, and if it's April, the lights are already on.
Chu Qing sat at the table, by the window on the left side, separated by a balcony, and the window again. Outside, the glow and the light of the sky passed through the two windows. Refracts a diffuse thin halo.
Liu Dehua estimated the time, and the day after he came back, he handed over the plan of the Asian new star director. Not thick, five pages, as said at the beginning, a qiē has not yet been perfected, just a preliminary idea,
It's written very sincerely, with no official rhetoric. Probably Andy's own tone.
The first is the scope of selection, although it is called Asia, it is mainly Chinese-speaking regions, and Chinese directors from places such as Singapore and Malaysia can also apply.
That's just that. Chu Qing has a big opinion. He can't be blamed for being narrow-minded, after all, his family thinks about his own family affairs and is really not interested in those island countries in the South Seas.
Further down is the basic mode of operation.
Do it in stages. In the first phase, five to seven directors will be selected, and the risk will be borne by the investor, and only the necessary cost guidance will be given. In terms of director selection and casting. There are no restrictions, the only requirement is: the genre must be a drama, and the kind of big stuffy film should be rough as soon as possible.
As for the composition of the funds, Andy wrote very clearly that he would take out a salary of about 12.5 million Hong Kong dollars as start-up capital. The estimated total amount is about 20 million, that is, Chu Qing wants to win 8 million.
Money didn't matter, he didn't agree with the plan.
20 million, several movies, each with a budget of more than 3 million, is a little funny. Because he thinks that as long as the film is good, it's OK to smash all the money on it,
Xu is Liu Dehua, after the failure of Tianmu's investment, has now become extremely cautious.
"Just take a look!"
He was thinking about it, when Fan Xiaoye walked in and complained, "You haven't reversed the jet lag yet, just sit where you go for a day!" Tomorrow you won't be filming? ”
"Oh yes, I'm done."
Chu Qing turned around and saw his daughter-in-law dressed neatly, so he couldn't help asking, "Why are you going?" ”
"Eat! Wait until you starve! ”
Fan Xiaoye sat on his lap and asked, "How about this, is it reliable?" ”
"It feels okay, but we don't seem to have any need, we can do it ourselves."
"You're going to start a fund yourself?" She frowned.
"I didn't think about it, I have to find someone to discuss, and it's not a matter of a day or two."
He sorted out the plan, carefully stuffed it into the text folder, and said, "Where are we going to eat?" ”
"Let's go to Yun*Nancai, get closer over there."
"Alright, get up!"
Chu Qing patted her buttocks, opened the glass door under the large bookcase, and carefully placed it. On that floor, it is neatly filled with all kinds of materials and archives, which are divided into categories, and there are labels on the cover.
Immediately, the two of them arrived in the living room, Fan Xiaoye took a casual coat, and he said while wearing it: "Hey, call your father and your mother?" ”
"People have already taken their son out, and we still need to take care of it?"
The girl stood in the hallway, put boots on her feet with great effort, glanced at the mobile phone on the coffee table, and reminded: "Don't forget your phone!" ”
"I know, I'll go to the toilet first!" The thing flashed into the bathroom.
"Oops, that's so troublesome!"
"You are a lonely bird, from an island in the sea......"
Fan Xiaoye's voice fell, and he heard the mobile phone ringing for a while, and her husband's broken ringtone was finally changed, this is a new song she recorded herself.
"Who? You pick it up for me! There was a voice in the bathroom.
"Little Sister Chu!"
She picked it up and looked at it, suddenly raised her eyebrows, and pressed the answer button.
"Whoa!"
Chu Qing was putting water and washing his hands, he couldn't hear what was said over there, and when he came out, he was already hanging, so he asked, "What's the matter?" ”
"I don't know, I'll let her go over to eat together."
"Oh, maybe just get together." He didn't care, put on his shoes and went out.
Gather your sister!
Fan Xiaoye pouted behind him, assuring with a woman's intuition that this trip must be very bad!
…………
"Soldiers!"
"Soldiers!"
Not long after, they arrived at Liangwei Ye's Yun*nan Restaurant, and the diners in the lobby instantly went crazy, shouting the name of the proprietress.
"Eat it all!"
Fan Xiaoye waved his hand at them. I had to glance at my husband again. Chu Qing didn't bother to pay attention to her, and went up to the private room on the second floor.
Pushing open the door, I saw Zhang Jingchu leaning in front of the window like a magnolia, quietly looking out of the street.
Chu Qing only glanced at it, and felt the change in this girl: she used to be very quiet, but there was always a trace of restlessness and lack of confidence, but now she is more calm, and with the fragrance of flowers.
If you say that the greatest desire and luck of an actor in this life is to meet his past life. Then the sister in "Peacock". Probably her past life.
Since then, it has been reborn.
"Brother Qing!"
"Soldiers!"
When Zhang Jing saw them for the first time, she couldn't help but curl the corners of her mouth and hurriedly took a few steps forward.
"Hi, you...... Why are you? ”
Chu Qing was just about to get closer, but Fan Xiaoye arched to the side, grabbed the other party's hand and began to shake, and said, "Wow, Sister Xiaochu, I haven't seen you for half a year." You're just beautiful! ”
"Thank you, you're prettier too!"
"Normally, I'm just a little whiter-skinned!"
“……”
The two women politely exchanged manners in their own way, and finally sat down. Chu Qing casually ordered a few dishes. served the two girls with tea and water.
"Little Sister Chu, what have you been busy with lately? It's been a long time since I got in touch. The girl held her husband's hand intentionally or unintentionally, and asked with a smile.
"Well, I took on a TV series after filming "Peacock". There are also a few commercials, which are actually quite idle. ”
"Then why don't you play with us?"
"I can see you on TV every day!"
Zhang Jingchu pursed her lips and said with a smile: "You made such a big deal a while ago. I also signed that statement, but unfortunately it was not released. ”
"Huh? Ouch, we really don't know, thanks! Thank you! ”
Both of them were stunned, this is definitely affectionate and righteous, no matter what the effect is, they quickly thanked them.
"Look at your ......"
Zhang Jingchu was embarrassed, drank a sip of water to cover up, and said, "I still want to ask you for help today." ”
"What's wrong?"
"I terminated the contract with the original brokerage company some time ago, and Director Gu Changwei recommended me to go to Rongxinda, I don't know much about this aspect, so I want to ask you."
"Uh......"
Chu Qing didn't expect this to be the case, a little surprised, followed his train of thought, and said: "Actually, I don't know very well, just listen to Wang Zhonglei and Zhou Xun...... Yes! Listen to them talk a little. ”
He grinned, and while pulling his daughter-in-law's little hand under the table, he said: "Rong Xinda's strength is still good, Li Shaohong and Li Xiaowan are also open-minded, especially for the cultivation of newcomers. They are now Chen Kun and Zhou Xun...... Yes! With two cards, others can't take their hands, so you sign in, and you can have a good resource tilt. ”
When Zhang Jing heard this, she nodded thoughtfully, and asked again, "Is there any harm in that?" ”
"What's the downside? Well, this is my own analysis, maybe it's not right, you should use it as a reference. ”
Chu Qing didn't dare to pack tickets, and said cautiously: "Rong Xinda started with self-produced dramas, such as Li Shaohong's "Daming Palace Ci" and "Orange is Red", which are very popular. But in the past few years, they have significantly reduced their production, and they have focused on developing movies, which is particularly poor, and they have made a few films. So depending on your own needs, if you want to make a TV series, then sign it, and if you want to make a movie, then think about it again. Moreover, I personally think that the quality of Rong Xinda's works seems to have been used up in the past few years, and it will be difficult to have any popular film and television dramas in the future. ”
“……”
Zhang Jingchu lowered her eyes, like a mayfly rippling back and forth in the lake pattern, unpredictable.
After a while, she suddenly raised her head, and Fan Xiaoye's little heart jumped suddenly. Sure enough, the girl asked in a low voice:
"Then I, can I join your studio?"
(I'm not in good shape today...... (To be continued......)
