"A-list actors, please?" Wang Xiaoyue's words startled Gao Yang, this was not what they had planned before they came to Cloud World.

Gao Yang talked to Wang Xiaoyue before, saying that this is likely to be Wang Xiaoyue's first big movie, if filming starts, it must be based on stability, with an investment of 5 million, it is not a small amount to make such a film, you must know that Li Yinghao and they only spent 3 million to shoot "River Resentment" in ancient costumes, "The Old Corpse of the Mountain Village" is a modern urban drama, and there is no big action scene, 5 million is already very rich. This kind of film is to be taken to Li Yinghao and them, and it is estimated that 2 million can be filmed, plus 1 million publicity, 3 million will be properly handled.

Wang Xiaoyue was counted by Gao Yang and also agreed with Gao Yang's opinion. However, she still hopes to come to a big production and get rid of the identity gap between her and those students, after all, she is a well-known director in the circle, although she has never directed a big movie, but as the proprietress of Lamb Pictures, she is also the senior of Li Yinghao and their students, if she uses the works of those students as a benchmark, then she will be too much of a failure.

Gao Yang always compared Li Yinghao with her, Wang Xiaoyue was actually very unhappy in her heart, but she also knew that their company was now in its infancy, and it should indeed focus on stability, and she had disrupted Gao Yang's three-year development plan, and it was very rare to be able to come out to make a film now.

But now that she came to the cloud world and chatted with Du Xinghe, what did Wang Xiaoyue think and how did she think this was an opportunity for her. Du Xinghe has already drawn this kind of Cheng dù for her in the storyboard script, no matter how this film is filmed, she will not shoot the collapsed Cheng dù. As long as you follow the process, such a safe movie, if it can be like Du Xinghe said, their family will pay 5 million and make up an investment of 10 million, it will definitely be worth watching!

With an extra 5 million, they can invite two or three first-line stars to star, so that the appeal of the film will be greatly improved, and it is also very likely to sell good overseas box office, and the domestic box office will be supported by stars. I won't find out where it goes. In short, in her opinion, the greater the investment in this film, the higher the return, and the more interesting it is for her to direct. At that time, a high box office will explode. Several times more than "River Resentment". Then her status in Lamb Pictures can be established at once, and those students will respect her as a senior sister, how wonderful it will feel!

Although it was a whim, Du Xinghe should be reconciled. In fact, Wang Xiaoyue also calculated in her mind, with the current capital strength of Lamb Pictures, it should not be too difficult to take out 5 million, although the risk is greater, but she believes that Gao Yang will find a way to find money, as long as the cloud world can pay 5 million, then Lamb Pictures will even pull the investment and pay for it, and it is not a problem to pay 5 million at all!

At first, they didn't expect Du Xinghe to spend so much money to make this movie, they thought that it would be great for Cloud World to invest one or two million at most, but they didn't expect Cloud World to be so wealthy, which made Wang Xiaoyue secretly excited and happy in her heart. She hurriedly glanced at Gao Yang, squeezed her eyebrows at Gao Yang, and hoped that Gao Yang would quickly respond to Du Xinghe's mention!

Gao Yang was hesitating, and Lin Jianguo was struggling. This uncle and Gao Yang are in the same style, and if you can pick an extra penny, you can pick an extra penny.

When Gao Yang just said that the planned investment of this movie was 5 million, Lin Jianguo's heart was instantly excited, but Du Xinghe's sentence to invest 10 million extinguished the spark in his heart, and he was extremely depressed. He thought to himself, why spend 10 million to make a movie that can be made for 5 million?

Wang Xiaoyue said again that she was looking for a first-line star to act, Lin Jianguo's heart was even colder, it was just a cold to the end, a first-line star? What a price point! He talked to his friends in Xiangjiang, and the first-line male stars who are currently in South China theaters have a salary of no less than 15 million! The salary of female stars is also more than 8 million! Invite a first-line star casually, and the salary will directly blow up their investment, how can they invite a first-line star!

Du Xinghe has also heard a little about the salary of first-line stars in the film industry here, so Wang Xiaoyue said that he wanted to invite first-line stars, and he also "chuckled" in his heart, and said to Wang Xiaoyue with a dry smile: "Director Wang, if you invite first-line stars to act, we will have to increase investment in this film, and the investment of 10 million is estimated to be not enough for the salary of a first-line male star." ”

Lin Jianguo hurriedly echoed: "Yes, I heard that Liang Sichao's actors' salaries are all 15 million, and most of them are more than 20 million." ”

Wang Xiaoyue shook her hand with a smile and explained: "The first-line star I'm talking about is not an actor-level like Liang Sichao, even if we give the money, they may not be able to act in a graded horror movie." I'm talking about the first line of classified horror films, stars who are more appealing in classified films, like Gao Qilin and He Dacheng, their salaries are all within 2 million, if you talk about salary plus box office dividends, you can win within 1 million. ”

Du Xinghe nodded secretly when he heard this, Gao Qilin and He Dacheng in Wang Xiaoyue's mouth are not first-line superstars in this plane, but most of the audience knows who they are, because these two male stars who are not confused have acted in too many movies, and they can take any bad movie and classic film, it feels a bit like Huang Qiusheng in the previous plane, but they have not yet mixed with the status of Huang Qiusheng, and they are still tempering their acting skills in the baptism of bad movies and classic films.

Especially Gao Qilin, his name is domineering enough, he looks even more evil, and his acting is also with an evil energy, very similar to Wu Zhen-Yu in the previous plane.

The male protagonist of the last plane "The Old Corpse of the Mountain Village" is Wu Zhen-Yu, if this plane can invite Gao Qilin to play the spiritual researcher "Fa Mao" in "The Old Corpse of the Mountain Village", it would be very suitable.

Du Xinghe asked with interest: "Is Gao Qilin's salary only 2 million?" It won't be so low, I see him showing his face in many blockbusters. ”

Wang Xiaoyue affirmed: "2 million is the upper limit of his salary, I understand this, Gao Qilin's niece will be accepted by me as an assistant." ”

Wang Xiaoyue looked at Gao Yang and said, "If we take this relationship, it is estimated that 1.5 million will be able to invite Gao Qilin." Look at the meaning of what she said, she has locked the investment amount of the film at 10 million.

Gao Yang pushed his round-framed glasses with a headache, and said along the way: "If Gao Qilin's schedule is okay." Let's go through the relationship of Guò Xiaofang (Gao Qilin's niece), it's no problem to invite him, but the problem is, if we ask Gao Qilin to be the hero, who will the heroine find? Find a newcomer to give Gao Qilin a ride, then it doesn't make much sense to invite Gao Qilin. Gao Qilin is not the kind of male star who can carry a film alone, and he must be given an actress of the same level in order to really attract the audience to the cinema. ”

Lin Jianguo suddenly asked: "Is the heroine of this film the female ghost or Sisi?" ”

The "silk" in Lin Jianguo's mouth is the CESSY in the original work of "The Old Corpse of the Mountain Village", because the Chinese people of this plane do not like to use English. So when copied over. DU XINGHE CHANGED CISSY TO SILK.

In the original work, CISSY is played by the big beauty Li Zi, and the combination of Li Zi and Wu Zhen-yu is a box office guarantee, who is going to play with Gao Qilin in this plane. In order to have the effect of the last less than Li Zi and Wu Zhen Yu. Du Xinghe really couldn't think of it. After all, he's not in the movies.

However, Du Xinghe is still very clear about who the heroine of the movie is. It must be Sisi, the female ghost Chu Renmei is the protagonist of the villain, and she doesn't show her face much, she doesn't need to find a big star to play, but Sisi must find a star who attracts more attention.

gave Lin Jianguo a look, Du Xinghe felt helpless for Lin Jianguo to ask such a humiliating question, and hurriedly told Lin Jianguo: "Of course the heroine is silky, and the female ghost is the opposite." The female ghost can just find a newcomer actor to play, there is no chance to show her face, as long as her voice is similar to Fang Yajun's. ”

Du Xinghe's words made the other three, including Lin Jianguo, stunned, and Gao Yang asked thoughtfully: "The voice is similar to that of Fang Yajun...... What is the meaning? ”

Du Xinghe smiled and said: "The female ghost Chu Renmei in this film was a famous Cantonese opera singer before she was killed, she has a Cantonese opera singing segment in the film "Selling Meat to Raise Orphans", Fang Yajun promised me before, this Cantonese opera with a point effect, she will sing it." ”

Because they haven't heard this episode in the film that makes people hairy when they hear it, Wang Xiaoyue and Gao Yang didn't know that this song was so important to this film, but when they heard that Fang Yajun was going to sing this Cantonese opera singing segment, they were all shocked!

What level of character is Fang Yajun, when she is still online, the movies she presents are all big works of big directors without exception! Even if it has been dormant for more than seven years, the movie that will give his voice after his comeback is still a literary blockbuster like "Small Town Story" directed by Xue Kaida!

Now it's just a small-scale classified horror film, and Du Xinghe can invite Fang Yajun to give his voice, which is simply incredible for the two Gao Wang!

As soon as they came to the cloud world today, Gao Yang and his family felt that this company was very magnificent, although it was not a record company of the four major levels, but it was able to occupy the two-story office area of the Media Building, which is enough to show the strength and confidence of this company!

Now when I heard Du Xinghe say that he could let Fang Yajun come over to give his voice, Gao Yang and his wife were excited! Especially Gao Yang, as soon as he heard Fang Yajun's name, he immediately smelled a gimmick that could be hyped! Before, he was not in favor of investing too much capital in this film to take too high risks, but now if Du Xinghe can bring Fang Yajun to sing the interlude, and if he can sing the ending song later, then not to mention what the film will look like, at least it will have texture in the hearts of ordinary audiences! This is the box office guarantee of Tietie! If Fang Yajun can show his face again during the publicity period and help them occupy a stage for this movie, then this movie will be a big production!

As if seeing a mountain of gold, Gao Yang suppressed the excitement in his heart and asked Du Xinghe with certainty: "Mr. Du, are you sure you can invite Fang Yajun to come over and offer your voice?" ”

Du Xinghe didn't dare to play 100% of the package ticket, after all, Fang Yajun had only talked about this after reading his storyboard script in private before, and she herself would definitely be fine, but if she wanted to participate in any commercial or non-commercial activities now, she had to go through the plan of the team behind her, and if the team behind her didn't agree to do it, she couldn't do it.

So Du Xinghe could only say to Gao Yang: "She verbally promised me that if Cloud World is responsible for the music aspect of this play, I think I should be able to invite her." ”

"Great!" Gao Yang rarely waved his fist, and he was very excited.

Wang Xiaoyue was even more excited, her eyes were a little admired by Du Xinghe, and said: "Mr. Du, you are really amazing, if you can ask Fang Tian to contribute to this play, then our play will be too selling!" ”

Lin Jianguo also understood in his heart that if Fang Yajun participated, the blockbuster of this drama would be Cheng dù. A little incredulous, he asked Du Xinghe: "Fang Yajun can really make a voice?" ”

"Why not?" Du Xinghe asked rhetorically.

Lin Jianguo has been getting closer to Cheng Jiaren recently, and he has been influenced by Cheng Jiaren, and he has begun to think about the problem from Fang Yajun's point of view, saying: "Yajun's voice has always been natural, in this film, you let her sing ghost plays, this is not quite consistent with her singing path, right?" ”

Du Xinghe was slightly surprised by Lin Jianguo's question of such a reliable question, and said with a smile: "It's really not quite consistent, but if you know Fang Yajun, you know that she is a person who loves challenges." Cantonese opera singing segments in this film. Seriously. is different from any style of music that Fang Yajun has sung before, the music in this film is creepy music, music that makes people get goosebumps and tremble in their hearts when they hear it. If it's sung. It is also a classic at the other extreme. The plasticity of Fang Yajun's singing voice is very high. This comeback. She wants to highlight the multifaceted nature of her singing, and I think it would be a good challenge for her to sing the Cantonese opera in this film. I think she should be happy to challenge this new genre of music. ”

Du Xinghe is a professional, since he said so, Gao Yang and Wang Xiaoyue can hear it, which means that the possibility of Fang Yajun's voice is basically more than eighty percent!

Gao Yang took the initiative to say: "Mr. Xiao Du, if Fang Yajun can confirm that he will come to our film to give his voice, I think we can adjust the investment amount further, the two male protagonists 'Fa Mao' and 'Xiao Ming' are invited to the first line, and the heroine 'Sisi' will be a more eye-catching actress, such a cast and Fang Yajun's gimmick of the diva, this film is promising!" ”

Wang Xiaoyue said excitedly: "Yes! This film has a big head! ”

Lin Jianguo frowned and said, "Do you still want to increase investment?" ”

As soon as he heard Lin Jianguo's words, Gao Yang hurriedly said: "Leave the matter of investment to our Lamb Pictures, as long as you can invite Fang Yajun, you don't have to pay a penny, or just pay Fang Yajun." The script and music are converted into your investment, and when the time comes, you will account for 30% of the income, and the remaining 70% will go to us and the investor. ”

Wang Xiaoyue was not surprised by Gao Yang's 180-degree turn, because she knew that her husband had a lot of experience in attracting investment, and she had been immersed in the circle for so long, and she also knew some things in the circle.

Nowadays, investing in movies is a boom, as long as there are big-name stars participating in the crew, there is no problem of no one investing. For a top-level figure in the entertainment industry like Fang Yajun, relying on this name alone, attracting an investment of 10 million is like playing. If you do it well, they can get an investment of 20 million in this film and make a super blockbuster in a part of the horror films!

When Lin Jianguo heard Gao Yang say that the cloud world didn't need to pay money, as long as Fang Yajun was done, he could share thirty percent of the income, and his heart immediately swelled up, and he glanced at Du Xinghe, indicating that such cooperation was reliable!

Du Xinghe didn't expect Fang Yajun to be so appealing in the film industry, and hesitated: "We don't pay a penny, just 40% of the income, isn't this appropriate?" ”

Gao Yang said with a smile: "Mr. Du, if you think it's inappropriate, you can put forward your opinions, let's talk about it, aren't we sitting here today just to talk about this matter." If you think it's less, we can discuss it again. ”

Without waiting for Du Xinghe to speak, Gao Yang continued: "Anyway, now I think so, if Fang Yajun can participate, then the quality of this film must be improved to a higher level in order to match a character of Fang Yajun's level." I think it takes at least 20 million grading movies to match the voice of Yajun above. You should know that the previous "No Bones" had a total investment of only 15 million, but it exploded at the box office of 80 million, and the filmmaker made a net profit of more than 20 million, which is the most profitable graded horror film in the past two years. I think our film is going to be done well, and we should earn more than "No Bones". ”

Gao Yang calculated this for Du Xinghe, he was estimating the income, and using the ultra-high income to tempt Du Xinghe to implement this matter. He can be regarded as a conspiracy, because he didn't play any careful calculations in the cloud world, he really thinks that if Fang Yajun can come to give his voice, they will definitely be able to bring in a large amount of investment, and then invite a batch of heavyweight casts to come to a large-scale and large-scale publicity movie, then even if the box office does not reach the 80 million of "No Bones", the total income should not be much worse.

Besides, Du Xinghe has already spent the storyboard script so carefully, Wang Xiaoyue has already formed the final effect of this film in her mind, as long as she shoots according to the storyboard script, she will not collapse, and the quality of the film must be guaranteed.

For such a movie, invest 20 million and return 40 million capital, Gao Yang feels that this is really easy to do, if it is done well, it is not impossible for this film to earn 30 or 40 million. The cloud world is divided into three, with a return of at least 5 million or more, and may even reach 10 million, this is a profitable deal, Du Xinghe can't refuse, right?

Du Xinghe was a little moved by what Gao Yang said, if he could share so many dividends without investing money, of course it would be good, but there was a premise that Fang Yajun must make a voice. He had to confirm this matter again before he could talk to Gao Yang and them again.

After talking with Gao Yang and his wife for a while that afternoon, the two of them reached a preliminary cooperation intention, and then, as long as the cloud world can confirm Fang Yajun's voice, then it will be easy to talk later.

Before leaving, Gao Yang took the initiative to shake hands with Du Xinghe and said, "Mr. Du, then my lover and I are waiting for your good news, I hope you can implement Fang Yajun's matter as soon as possible." ”

"I understand, as soon as there is definite news, I will call you back immediately." Du Xinghe politely shook hands with Gao Yang.

"Okay, I'll wait for your call." Gao Yang made a gesture of making a phone call, and let go of the hand he was holding with Du Xinghe, but the faint excitement in his eyes had not yet passed. He has never organized such a large-scale and high-profile film, if he can really invite Fang Yajun, it will be a very beneficial promotion for Lamb Pictures, and Lamb Pictures may become an instant hit because of this film, just like the cloud world in the music industry. It is precisely because of this that Gao Yang's expectations in his heart are greater than anyone else's, even greater than Wang Xiaoyue!

After leaving the cloud world, he went down to the underground parking lot, and as soon as he got in the car, Gao Yang said to Wang Xiaoyue excitedly while lighting the fire: "Wife, you are going to come out this time, I listen to Mr. Xiao Du's meaning, Fang Yajun's voice is very big!" ”

Wang Xiaoyue was also very excited, and said, "I think so." Xiao Du doesn't look old, he is really reliable! I've never met anyone more reliable than him! In private, Wang Xiaoyue is used to naturally bursting into dirty mouths.

Gao Yang glanced at Wang Xiaoyue with a helpless smile and said, "It's appropriate for you to praise other men like this in front of your husband?" ”

"If it's someone else, it's not appropriate; But Mr. Xiao Du, suitable, hehe. Wang Xiaoyue joked with Gao Yang.

Gao Yang knew that Wang Xiaoyue was joking with him, so he patted Wang Xiaoyue's plump thighs with a smile and said, "You girl, you owe it again." But then again, Xiao Du's ability is really strong. I don't understand one thing now, he can come up with such a detailed storyboard script, and he can also ask Fang Yajun to come out and give his voice - relying on these two points alone, he can go to the crew casually in the film industry, and everyone will invest money to shoot it when they are in a hurry. Although this is a classified horror film, the market is not very large, but no film company will refuse such conditions, and it is estimated that there will be companies that spend a lot of money to find Mr. Xiao Du to buy the right to shoot, no matter what, he has no reason to ask us to shoot? It's not inferiority, but our company has just been established, and we don't have any fame in the circle, and we don't have much backstage, how can He De get such an opportunity? What do you think he likes about us? ”

Driving the car out of the underground parking lot of the Media Building, shuttling through the bustling media business district where every inch of land is valuable, Gao Yang had a question in his heart. After working hard in society for many years, Gao Yang's nature has been sharpened to be very pessimistic and realistic, he doesn't believe that there are pie-in-the-sky good things in this world, and behind any good thing, there must be entanglements of interests. He really couldn't understand why Du Xinghe gave them such a good opportunity to Lamb Pictures.

Wang Xiaoyue was also a little dazed by what Gao Yang said, if she didn't know that Fang Yajun had joined, she would have thought that Du Xinghe was playing with tickets by drawing such a script, so she would have cooperated with a small company like them. But now that the goddess Fang Yajun has come out to stand, the taste is different. (To be continued......)
