Chapter 142: Only So Much Money
"Wait a minute, I've got the conductor here, and his flight is ten minutes later than mine." Xia Ruiyi said.
He had not said anything about it beforehand.
Xia Ruiyi proposed to use Guan Sinian as the director, stating that he hadn't agreed yet, so he directly brought people over without saying it in advance. This is a strong side from the moment you get off the plane.
The statement looked at it and caught Xia Ruiyi's thoughts, faintly.
Xia Ruiyi probably planned to use Guan Sinian as a director, and without saying it in advance, he was showing that he didn't like to be criticized for doing things.
- You pinched my weakness and asked me to do things for you, okay. But how things are done, I have the final say.
The statement knew that Xia Ruiyi had prepared some rhetoric waiting for him to ask, so he smiled and said, "Okay, just wait for the director." ”
Xia Ruiyi thought that the statement would ask "Why didn't you tell me in advance", and this attitude was just expressed at that time. But the statement didn't ask, and he had to hold back the words.
The next moment, Zhang Gaoyi asked: "The director has already decided, is he coming today?" I didn't know ...... just now."
"Zhang Dong." Xia Ruiyi finally seized the opportunity and said solemnly: "Since we want to cooperate, I have to make some things clear in advance." I'm a producer and have the authority to assemble a film crew. I can make a decision when doing things, which is the premise of our cooperation. ”
Zhang Gaoyi was stunned for a moment, and said with a smile: "Of course Mr. Xia has the final say, I mean...... I'm going to give the restaurant an extra seat. ”
Xia Ruiyi was a little speechless, glanced at it, and thought to himself, Your boss is like this?
The prepared dismount was like a punch on the cotton, and he felt quite bored.
Statement and Zhang Gaoyi didn't intend to point fingers at the movie, they were industry novices.
The statement is a little bit more understanding, knowing that in this cooperation, Xinran Film and Television is the producer, and Xia Ruiyi is the producer.
It's like a company where the producer is the director and is responsible for the investment. The producer is the president and is responsible for the overall situation.
The producer is fully responsible for script coordination, preliminary preparation, formation of film crew, cost accounting, financial review, shooting and production, post-production, assistance in distribution, and application for awards. is the master of the entire crew, the highest power of the film crew, and the core character throughout the film.
The statement was very satisfied with Xia Ruiyi.
Although he didn't know how to do it, he felt that Xia Ruiyi had that kind of momentum, and he showed the domineering spirit of 'self-respecting' at the beginning of his work.
It's a pity that he didn't take the move, which made Xia Ruiyi more domineering.
- I don't know a director, so you can use whoever you want. Didn't I go to great lengths to invite you here just so that you could do all the work?
After a while, the year of Guan Si arrived.
Guan Si was 33 years old, dressed tastelessly, did not comb his hair, kept his head down and thought about his own affairs when he walked, and bumped into three passers-by in a row.
It wasn't until he got close that Xia Ruiyi's assistant went over and patted him on the shoulder and called him over. Xia Ruiyi introduced him to the statement and the others, but he only nodded indifferently.
The group drove to Zhenyuan Pavilion, and Song Xingteng had already booked a place to wait there, and he was very enthusiastic about Xia Ruiyi.
After a meal, the guests and hosts are happy.
"I didn't expect that in this place of Qiangshan, the dishes are also very good." When it was almost time to eat, Xia Ruiyi shook his wine glass and smiled.
Guan Sinian said: "It can only be said that the expensive restaurant dishes are good, and they can't represent Qiangshan at present." ”
He found Guan Sinian quite interesting, and he rarely heard people use the less colloquial word 'expensive'.
Xia Ruiyi then said: "The dish is like this, you get what you pay for, and the same goes for movies, how much money does Xinran Film and Television plan to invest?" ”
Zhang Gaoyi raised his hand and said with a smile: "The details are determined by the statement." ”
"Six million." The statement was prepared.
Song Xingteng was slightly stunned.
Through the program "Consultants", Xinran Film and Television has received a total of more than 10 million sponsorship fees. After deducting the company's various costs and operating expenses, the company still has 10 million on its books.
He originally thought that he had invited a producer like Xia Ruiyi to declare that he would throw all the letters into it, but he didn't expect to search so much.
Xia Ruiyi listened and became a little displeased.
"I haven't made a movie with an investment of less than 30 million."
"We only have so much money."
The statement was made by Li Yuting, and the company had to leave a sum of money first if it wanted to operate.
Song Xingteng is still decorating the company, according to him, the final payment of the decoration and the company's rent are not in a hurry, and there is a guarantee from Xinran Group, and people dare not urge it for half a year, but this is not the way to state and do things.
In addition, after thinking about it, he still has to leave a sum of money for Wang Xun to use to make the show......
"You only have so much money, you invited me to come?" Xia Ruiyi said: "If you don't understand, I'll calculate it for you." Let's start with the script. I don't have the time to grind slowly with your original script. If you want to adapt, you have to buy the copyright, and there is also an adaptation fee, which ranges from 300 to 8 million. Speaking of actors, the price of first-line actors is about 20 million......"
The statement was listened to very carefully.
But he could see Xia Ruiyi's thoughts.
The price code is this price code, but things are not without room for maneuvering.
For example, Xia Ruiyi has two scripts in his hands, but he is reluctant to take them out. For example, if an actor encounters a script that can impress him or a director who can make him trust, the salary can also be negotiated......
In short, when Xia Rui intends to speak, his true thoughts will pop up from time to time, stating that he knows many things that can be solved by the industry bosses.
Of course, for Xia Ruiyi, it is more cost-effective to solve things that can be solved with money than to use favors or energy. He has long been accustomed to spending investors' money lavishly.
I just met such a master.
"There are still a lot of movies with an investment of less than six million, right?"
"You are a little white problem...... Xia Ruiyi was a little angry, "That was a few years ago, and I finally got out of it, why did I make such a shabby movie for you?!" ”
When Zhang Gaoyi saw this meeting, he felt a little embarrassed, and he was worried that the conversation would collapse, and he wanted to pay more money for himself. The statement stopped him with another look.
"So be it." The statement said: "I will analyze how much it will cost in various aspects together in a few days and do a cost accounting. As long as it is not too high than six million, Xinran Film and Television can still get it. ”
Xia Ruiyi narrowed his eyes, and he had some recollection. I don't think it's easy to state this kid.
At the beginning of the statement, he said that Xinran Film and Television had less than 10 million, and Xia Ruiyi thought that he could let Xinran Group invest a little more to get together 20 or 30 million.
In this way, Xia Ruiyi can easily pat people away at will, and it doesn't matter if the return on investment ratio is high or not, he has completed the requirements of the statement anyway.
But now it's different, the statement stuck, and things become troublesome, if Xia Rui wants to bear this trouble alone, he has to let the statement participate in the cost accounting, and then he will inevitably participate in all links, and then it will not be easy to perfunctory......
"I really don't want to do it." Xia Ruiyi thought to himself.
