Chapter 694 - Super High Price

Ye Tian walked to Mr. Chen's car, Mr. Chen nodded and said hello, and ordered the driver to drive away.

Only Ye Tian and Sun Xiaorou were left on the scene, they represented the big director and Mr. Chen respectively, and they were able to make decisions.

"Mr. Ye, Mr. Chen said that she had been planning this movie for a long time, and when she was in **, those actors who had won the Golden Statue had long been eager to try, and there were many famous directors in the circle who were willing to do it for free."

Ye Tian smiled: "Miss Sun, there is no need to say superfluous words, let's go straight to the topic." How much money is Mr. Chen willing to take to make this movie? ”

As Mr. Li said, in business, if the profit is large enough, anyone can participate.

The corners of Sun Xiaorou's mouth curled, and a wise smile appeared on her face: "I don't know what the employment price of a big director is?" Since things are simplified to hiring shots, we will only discuss the price. Like you said, as long as the price is right, you can negotiate. ”

"Five hundred million."

Ye Tian was unceremonious and directly gave a price that no one could agree on.

After Mr. Li's pointing, he found that if people talk the truth and do honest things in the mall, they can only get rich and settle down in the end, and they can't become a shopping mall predator who calls for wind and rain.

"Impossible." This was Sun Xiaorou's first reaction.

She looked at Ye Tian: "How much do you invest in those super blockbusters in the world?" The back is clear. ”

Ye Tian also shook his head: "You must know that the movie is commissioned to create, and after filming, all the copyrights will be handed over to Mr. Chen, and the crew has nothing, according to the rules of the industry, at least the price will be doubled." The current reputation of the great director is second to none in China, and it has taken me a lot of words to convince him to let him make a custom movie. Perhaps, you can go to domestic second-rate directors and let them solve the problem. ”

This is Ye Tian's killer feature, big directors never make customized films, unless the price is super high to impress him.

Sun Xiaorou pondered for a moment: "Mr. Chen knows this, and he will definitely tilt the price, but it is impossible to reach the outrageous price of 500 million." ”

Ye Tian smiled: "Then please, the big director is busy with work, and it is not worth pouring his heart and soul into such a film." His goal is to make a world-renowned high-quality product, and Mr. Chen's so-called mahogany family movies are not worthy of his condescension. ”

Any negotiation can bring the other side to its knees as long as it grasps the key points. Now, Ye Tian proposed that the identity of a big director will never accept customized films, this is the truth. Whether Sun Xiaorou believes it or not, the industry is the same opinion.

"Mr. Chen said that it is impossible for the customized film to exceed 200 million this time."

Ye Tian shook his head again: "Then forget it, as a big director, if you go abroad to direct the film, you can get tens of millions just by moving your mouth." Moreover, the director's name is still him in the end, and their identity does not care about money, but about personal reputation and feathers. ”

Ye Tian's attitude put tremendous pressure on Sun Xiaorou, and she took out her mobile phone to read a document. Ye Tian guessed that it should be the quotation of big directors from all over the world.

"Ye Tian, if you look at an internationally renowned director, how much does it cost to make a film? The price you're charging is ridiculously high. ”

Ye Tian-for-tat: "If you invite a foreign director to shoot China's mahogany, he will only make it for you as National Geographic, and the bull's head is not the horse's mouth." Is this kind of film what Mr. Chen needs? Definitely not. ”

Sun Xiaorou frowned, the film she just made is a lesson for her, if she doesn't repent and asks a foreign director to complete this matter, I'm afraid Mr. Chen will be angry.

"Mr. Ye, let's discuss again, your price is enough to invite a world-class director, even if you add the shooting cost, it can't be so high."

Ye Tian mentioned: "On TV last night, a nursing home could be priced at tens of billions, and the talent of the big director was there. Why can't you give him a little more, let him calmly create a masterpiece, and become a miracle in the mahogany circle. ”

This is probably Mr. Chen's goal, to ask the big director to make a super film that has never been seen before or since, and further consolidate her right to speak in the circle.

Sun Xiaorou stepped aside to make a phone call, Ye Tian's eyes were keen, and he could see that she was just pretending to be talking, as if she was discussing with Mr. Chen, but in fact, the mobile phone screen did not light up at all.

In the end, Sun Xiaorou came back and told Ye Tian: "Mr. Chen said that the price can only be 200 million, and no more." If the big director disagrees, then we can only say regret. ”

This price is much higher than the big director's expectations, Ye Tian wants to get away with it: "I'll go back and tell the big director, if he agrees, we will sign the contract immediately, so as not to regret it." ”

Sun Xiaorou smiled and nodded: "That's what you mean, you'd better tell him that this opportunity is rare, and it is impossible for anyone in China to take so much money." Make a movie with an artistic theme, and he can return to the rivers and lakes after making this money. ”

Ye Tian returned to the side of the big director, but the big director was still angry, thinking that Mr. Chen had insulted his talent.

Making custom movies is indeed not a face-revealing thing, it is equivalent to treating movies as commodities and buying and selling them directly. It is generally believed in the circle that only those who have no ambition and are short-sighted will do this kind of thing, just to make quick money and quickly settle into the pocket.

"Senior, I've asked for the price, and if you think it can be done, we'll sign the contract."

"How much does the other party pay?"

Ye Tian smiled: "The price is a little higher than you expected, and you can proceed after signing the contract." ”

"Is the other party really willing to pay 100 million to make a movie?" The great director is unbelievable,

Ye Tian said: "The other party admires your talent, and this project belongs to you, so you are willing to pay a high price, a total of 200 million." ”

The big director was stunned: "I really can't imagine that someone attaches so much importance to film art." In that case, sign the contract immediately. ”

Under Ye Tian's mediation, the project was completed immediately.

Sun Xiaorou took out the contract, and the two signed on the stone next to them.

The core content of the contract is that Mr. Chen will pay 200 million yuan for the big director to make a mahogany-themed movie with a length of 120 minutes. The filming content is mutually agreed upon by both parties, and all copyrights ultimately belong to Mr. Chen.

After signing the contract, the big director shook his head and sighed. Sun Xiaorou thought that the other party was not satisfied, and accompanied by a smile: "We know that you are a well-known director in China, this is just the first step of cooperation, and if there is a similar project in the future, the price will definitely be tilted towards you." I hope you will take a lot of care to make a good movie that is in line with the mahogany culture. ”

Ye Tian contributed to this incident, which is equivalent to returning the favor of the great director. Since the great director came to Jinling, the films he made have not yet gained big commercial benefits, which has always made Ye Tian angry.

He wants to directly allocate funds to the big director, but he is afraid that the other party will be ashamed to talk about money and let himself hit a nail. Now that such a big project has been promoted, and the funding problem of the big director has been solved, everything will be solved.

The afternoon shooting was still going well, and under the inspiration of the big director, Gaishi has become a mature actor, interlocking with Julia's rivalry, skillful in lines, without any mistakes, and a few shots are just passed.

The big director was very satisfied, and secretly told Ye Tian: "I thought that a rich second generation like Gaishi would disrespect film art and do perfunctory things on the spot, but now it seems that my opinion is completely wrong." ”

Chai Ying stayed with the filming site, and only when the afternoon was about to end did she tell Ye Tian: "In order to make a good movie, Gaishi invited two teachers from the film academy to tutor him at home." memorize the lines of the entire script word for word and practice in front of the mirror. Both teachers have trained more than a dozen drama actors, film and television actors, and they have helped him a lot. I also wondered, why was he so serious this time? Just now he told me that he just didn't want to lose face in front of his brothers and sisters in the luxury car club. In addition, since he is the male lead in this crew, he must be strict with himself and not drag everyone back. ”

Ye Tian suddenly realized that Gaishi likes face, and it is precisely because he is afraid of losing face that he acts in advance. This should be his weakness, and it is easy to do things by grasping the weakness.

Chai Ying is very grateful for the work Ye Tian has done, and he hopes that his son will have a good future. This time on the big screen, at least he can take root in the film and television industry, and they can create a Gaijiagou Film and Television Co., Ltd. for him, which is not a problem.

The key point is to let Gaishi be ambitious and do the right thing every day, instead of bringing his fox friends and dog friends to whistling back and forth, being poked in the backbone by others, making the two of them look dull.

Ye Tian has done too much for the world, and Chai Ying sighed repeatedly: "Ye Tian, you are a noble person in the world." ”

At dusk, the day's shooting plan was completed, and the big director arranged Milan to let a few horizontal groups shoot part of the night scenes of Niujiaoling and Wolong Mountain.

The natural beauty of this place is naturally generated, and no one could have predicted in the past that an ordinary winding mountain road would create such great benefits.

got into the car, beckoned Ye Tian to come over, and the big director told him: "You helped me a lot today, this contract is won, and the film company has two years of expenses, I can calm down and make more literary films to fill the gap in the domestic field." At the same time, push Julia up, now I always feel that you shouldn't let Xia Meng go to study abroad, many of her film theories have influenced Qin Lu, and only when two people work together can they create new things. ”

Qin Lu also mentioned this matter to Ye Tian, but now that communication is so developed, he and Xia Meng can communicate online, and Xia Meng also gives him advice.

The crew left, and Niujiaoling, which had been noisy for a day, fell silent again, and Ye Tian accompanied Sun Xiaorou back to Wolong Mountain.

After finalizing the movie, Sun Xiaorou reported to Mr. Chen, who was very pleased and arranged for Sun Xiaorou to find out all the mahogany materials to provide inspiration for the crew.

Regarding this movie, Mr. Chen poured a lot of enthusiasm into it. In fact, China does lack a mahogany-themed film. This traditional culture, which runs through hundreds of years of Chinese history, is especially sought after now, and should be vigorously promoted.

Since Mr. Chen is known as the "King of Mahogany", he has this unshirkable responsibility for the promotion of this industry. The price she gave is obviously higher than the rules in the film and television industry, but her willingness to let a big director play the role proves that she doesn't care about the cost and just wants to launch a high-quality product.

After a day of shooting, Sun Xiaorou was very relieved about the team of the big director, and when she reported to Mr. Chen, she was also full of praise.

Ye Tian accompanied him on the side, smiling silently. If he doesn't say good things for his team, he will become a princess selling melons and boasting.

"Ye Tian, fortunately, you are on the scene to coordinate this matter, otherwise with the temper of a great director, I am afraid that I will turn my face on the spot, and there will be no chance of cooperation."
