187. Brother, this hook column listens to music, it also costs money!

Originally, Su Chen had been unable to sleep these days because of the next development.

It's good now, since the idea that "Interstellar" was going to be filmed next year came out, he couldn't sleep even more.

That kind of excitement, enthusiasm, and at the same time, how can it carry a little bit of tragedy.

Of course.

There was another reason why Su Chen was a little impulsive, and even enthusiastically made this decision.

That is, there is no possibility in this world to start doing something after being fully prepared.

Because as long as you don't do it, then you will always be unprepared.

……

After having this idea, Su Chen began to refine the script of "Interstellar" that had been written a long time ago.

Moreover, he also called Zhao Qingren.

"Qingren, if you help me let out the news, just say that I am ready to accept advertising endorsements, one category, only one."

"Let them bid."

Zhao Qingren is also a little busy these days because it is about to reach the end of the year, and suddenly heard the news that Su Chen is going to accept the advertising endorsement, and she has not reacted for a while.

"Huh?"

"Ahh

Su Chen said with a smile.

Zhao Qingren asked the other people in the office to go out first, and then she continued to ask: "Didn't you say before, now is not the time to accept endorsements, there are many manufacturers who want to find you, and I have let them go away." ”

Su Chen nodded: "That's what I said, because I was still fighting the world before, so receiving too many endorsements or commercial performances will be a bit consuming." ”

"But I'm going to do a big thing after the year, so I need money."

Zhao Qingren was stunned for a moment, and then she was a little unhappy.

Because she felt that Su Chen regarded herself as an outsider.

"You need money, if you don't have enough money, I have it here, I think it, you have a good reputation in the circle now, the main reason is that you rarely show up outside."

"So there is almost no black material, and I don't know how to be black if I want to be black."

"However, if you go to accept the endorsement, in case the merchant thunders, it will also have a great impact on your reputation."

Su Chen smiled: "How much money do you have now?" ”

Zhao Qingren was silent for a moment, she calculated: "There should be about 300 million, but the funds that can be used are only 8,000 words, if you get together, you can get 100 million, if you really encounter something, I will sell the company, and there will be more money to use." ”

Su Chen was still a little moved in his heart, but he joked on his lips: "Qingren, let's just say, why didn't you know that you still had the characteristics of a love brain before?" ”

Zhao Qingren snorted.

Then he asked, "What is a love brain?" ”

Su Chen didn't explain, he was also afraid that Zhao Qingren would worry about him: "Oh, okay, I'm not in a hurry to use money, and nothing happened." ”

"I just want to make a movie next year."

"Oh......"

Zhao Qingren was relieved at this time.

"Okay, I can get in touch."

She laughed: "But you have to be prepared, because with your current popularity and popularity, if this rumor is released, it is estimated that there will be any business to find." ”

Su Chen also smiled: "That's no problem, but since it's just about to be cashed out, the price can be as high as it can." ”

"If we want to make money, we won't set up an archway."

Zhao Qingren nodded: "Okay, then I'll deal with this matter, Dragon TV also has a lot of business resources, the last time you gave them a share, Deputy Director Huang Haonan must invite you to dinner." ”

"I've got him in line."

Su Chen said: "After this is over, I will definitely go to Shanghai to shoot the second season of the Extreme Challenge in the future." ”

"When the time comes, I will definitely have dinner with Director Huang."

……

Two or three days later, Zhao Qingren replied to the message.

Anyway, hair care merchants, as well as beverage manufacturers, shoes, sports brands, automobiles, including some environmental protection units, etc., have all come to the door.

"I've sorted the quotations and sent them to you."

"What do you think?"

Zhao Qingren pinched the thick stack of quotations in her hand, and she asked Su Chen: "I think, the manufacturers seem to be a little crazy." ”

"You can't endorse too much in one go, right?"

"Otherwise, the streets and alleys will be all yours."

Su Chen downloaded the documents of the quotation from the computer and looked at them one by one.

"Definitely not."

"There are so many categories, I can't finish it, I think I can choose a total of three, to five endorsements, it's almost the same."

"Five is the limit."

Many people think that after a celebrity signs an endorsement contract with a business, it is just a matter of taking a photo, taking an advertisement, and then allowing the merchant to use his or her portrait rights.

However, in fact, this kind of endorsement contract is still full of offline commercial performances several times a year.

Just like when Su Chen, as an agent of underwear, could sit at the same table with Fan Bingbing at the annual meeting.

It's because Fan Bingbing is not just as simple as shooting an advertisement for the manufacturer.

She still needs to attend the manufacturer's offline activities.

The same is true of Su Chen's agents.

Su Chen looked at the quotations of these shopping malls, and he frowned: "Click the reader, where will it not, where will it be?" ”

"Forget it."

"Isn't this an IQ tax......

Choosing a brand endorsement, in Su Chen's opinion, there must be a few precautions.

First, the brand itself will not be thunderous, such as endorsing a hair dye, and it is found that the hair dye causes cancer after a few years, which will have an impact on the star.

Second, it is necessary to have a big brand, high price, and few things.

Third, it matches the characteristics of the star himself.

After an afternoon of discussions.

Su Chen and Zhao Qingren finally decided on such a few brands for next year's endorsement advertisement.

One is the car brand, Mercedes-Benz.

In addition, it is a perfume brand, Chanel, they are ready to start entering the domestic market, so they are pinching a lot of money and have nowhere to spend it, and they just happened to come across such a good opportunity.

There is another brand, which is the iPhone 4s.

The three are all international brands, all of which are working hard to develop the domestic market, and they are all full of confidence to become bigger and stronger in the interior.

Zhao Qingren looked at these three brands, and felt a little guilty in his heart.

"However, if these endorsements go out, I'm afraid that the outside will be a little bad for you."

Su Chen smiled: "Do you think they will say that I help foreigners make money?" ”

Zhao Qingren didn't say anything on the phone, but it was obvious that she meant that.

"Do you want to find a domestic brand to neutralize it?"

Su Chen shook his head directly: "You think too much about me, Qingren." ”

"If you think about it, I'm just a spokesperson, their local push, their product quality, in fact, if you look for someone else, it's the same, they want to conquer the mainland market, no one has a way."

"However, my asking price is higher."

"Equally, I'm making money from the people of the country for the sake of the people and making them back again."

Zhao Qingren: "!

! ”

Su Chen's logic said this, and Zhao Qingren actually felt impeccable.

She thought about it, and she was right.

Even if Chanel is looking for Brother Hu or Chen Kun today, shouldn't it be sold as it is?

Su Chen continued: "So don't think so much, just ask for money and it's over, and there is another advantage of cooperating with such a big brand, that is, you don't have to worry about them going out of business next year." ”

"In this case, it won't be troublesome to renew the contract next year."

"It's equal to tens of millions of dollars a year, what's bad, people outside say it, let them say it, as an actor, the most important thing is to keep coming up with good works."

Su Chen said so, and Zhao Qingren also felt that there was no problem.

"Then I'll continue to play Tai Chi with their brand department, and the current price quoted to you by Mercedes-Benz is 20 million, Chanel is 150 million, and Apple is 30 million, but there are a lot of requirements."

"After all the promises are made, you will have at least ten more advertising shooting plans this year, so the schedule should be arranged."

Su Chen nodded, and before hanging up the phone, he asked curiously.

"Then Brother Hu, Chen Kun, how much is their current endorsement fee?"

Zhao Qingren thought for a while: "I didn't ask specifically, it is estimated that it is about 10 million, and Brother Hu may be a little more expensive, but it is not as much as you get." ”

"They want to divide the accounts, you are working for yourself, you can steal the fun."

Su Chen laughed: "Why am I stealing fun, can't I be happy in the bright light?" ”

"If there is nothing wrong with these endorsements, take out one-tenth of it and buy a sports car for Mr. Zhao, Mercedes-Benz, even if it is a gift from his son-in-law."

Zhao Qingren snorted: "You." ”

"If I really want to give my dad a gift, it's not because of oysters, goji berries, tiger whips, and roasted leeks."

Su Chen hurriedly said: "Yes, yes, these are just needs, for the old man, it doesn't matter what kind of car you drive, what matters is what kind of fuel you add when you drive." ”

Zhao Qingren didn't react at first.

By the time I reacted, the phone had already hung up.

She couldn't help but chuckle.

"Okay, now I'm thinking about cheering for my dad, so next time we meet, I'll give you some more gas."

……

Su Chen took over the endorsement, and in a short period of time, it was rumored in the circles of various manufacturers.

But the public is unaware.

People with good deeds have sorted all the movies Su Chen has starred in.

It is ranked according to the Douban score.

The highest is "New World".

followed by "Let the Bullets Fly" and "Scorching Sun", and then "No Man's Land" and "When a Man Falls in Love......

Looking at the names of these movies, film practitioners have to sigh that these movies are all masterpieces.

In the past two years, ordinary actors, if they appear in any of the above movies, it is enough to blow a cowhide for four or five years, but Su Chen is staking alone, and almost all the good movies of this year have been dominated.

It's just terrifying, and there is no problem at all to say that this year is the year of Su Chen in the film and television industry.

After all, today is the beginning of the new year, which is a "New World", which stunned all audiences and filmmakers, and the end of the year is "No Man's Land" and "Scorching Sun".

There is a head and a tail.

It's hard not to envy.

A few days later, Su's father and Su's mother arrived in Beiping, and Su Chen opened a hotel for them.

It took a month to open it.

Su's father and Su's mother caught Su Chen, which was a criticism and education.

You shouldn't spend money indiscriminately, you shouldn't be extravagant and wasteful, you shouldn't open a hotel, where can we make a little money, you can't manage your finances, where is the new house? Let's see.

What!

Just this house, fifteen million?

Resting in Lanzhou, Jincheng, a house of 300 square meters, 1.5 million won!

Yes!

Is Peking great? Isn't this a trap? Son, you have been deceived, can this house be sold now?

When Su Chen finished greeting Su's father and Su's mother's saliva baptism, he was not angry at all, but felt a little happy.

As long as Su's father and Su's mother can scold people with such spirit in the next thirty or forty years, he thinks he can.

Su Chen carefully analyzed the benefits of buying a house in Beiping for the two.

Hearing this, Su's father shook his head again and again.

"Now that my son has grown up, we don't know what their young people are doing."

Su's mother said more: "Then the hotel where I live with your father, how much is it a day?" ”

Su Chen originally wanted to tell the truth, but then he thought about it, absolutely not.

"More than 300 yuan a day."

Su Chen's face was calm.

Su Ma's eyes narrowed: "Really? ”

"That's fine."

Su's mother is stupid, Su's father is not stupid, he knows that staying in this hotel will start at least a thousand a day, just to let his wife not feel distressed, so he doesn't talk much.

"You, I didn't want to take care of your money, but if you don't know how to spend money, otherwise your mother should take care of it for you."

Su Ma touched the hotel's high-end quilt cover and said: "You have made so much money this year, this house will go out, you child, you don't know at all that you can earn more than 10 million this year, can you still earn so much next year?" ”

"Your dad and I are not doing as well as a year after year, and you have to save money."

Su's mother nagged for a while, absolutely if her son didn't have the habit of saving money, she could help her son save money.

That's why I asked.

Su Chen thought for a while: "It's okay, Mom, you can help me save money." ”

Su's mother clapped her hands: "Come, how much money do you have on your card now, transfer it to me, I and your father don't spend a penny, and when you want to use the money, tell me, I'll give it to you." ”

Su Chen opened the mobile banking and took a look: "There are about more than 30 million now." ”

"There are about 80 million ...... in the company's account."

He threw the phone to Su's mother: "You can save it for me, Mom." ”

Su Ma's hand that took the phone trembled, and she almost smashed Su Chen's mobile phone.

Dad Su also turned his head sideways and glanced at Su Chen's mobile phone balance.

The two men were dumbfounded.

"You're not...... Didn't you make more than 10 million this year......

Dad Su looked at the numbers in Su Chen's bank card, so much money, he had only seen it on the dark coin when he went to the grave every year.

Su's father used to be the big boss of the scenery!

But this kind of boss, don't look at the worth of millions, but the money in his card has never exceeded five million.

Usually, the money in the card is more than 100,000 or 200,000 in circulation.

Where to go and see the tens of millions lying quietly in the account.

"I should only make about 100 million this year......

Su Chen admired Su's father's expression: "This is a house in Beiping, and in the first half of the year, I bought two sets of ...... in Shanghai."

Su's father: "......"

Su Ma: "......"

The expressions of the two people had gradually changed from shocked to no longer shocked.

It's hundreds of millions of ......

This is a son, or the God of Wealth.

At the beginning of this year, when Su Chen left Jincheng, he seemed to only have two or three million.

Su Ma remembered very well that she deliberately glanced at it at the time, but how could it be that at the end of the year, the unit of this money was tens of millions, hundreds of millions?

"If it's so profitable......"

"Or else...... I'll try to be an actor too? ”

Dad Su came back to his senses from the shock.

Su Chen smiled: "It's not impossible, you can really try it if you have a chance." ”

He looked at Su Ma: "Mom, if you want to help me save money, I will transfer it to your card as soon as possible......"

Su's mother shook her head again and again, and threw the phone back to Su Chen: "Forget it, you said that if there are millions, Mom will help you save one, which is tens of millions at every turn, if it is really put in Mom's card, then I won't sleep." ”

Su's father smiled: "If you really transfer it to your mother, it is estimated that she will have to go to the bank every day to ask if the money is still there." ”

"I can't sleep well."

Su's mother pinched Su's father: "Who are you talking about?" ”

Su Chen saw that Su's father and Su's mother were relieved, and he said: "Don't worry, parents, financial management is reasonable, and I also have the means to make money, so you can rest assured." ”

"The house in Shanghai, as well as the house in Beiping, after you clean it up, you will rent it out."

"The rent is my own flowers."

"If you don't spend it, you can save it for your grandson."

When Su Ma heard this, she came to her senses.

"Yes, I have to talk about this this time, you are not young at this age, you are already twenty-six in a blink of an eye, and after the New Year this year, you will be twenty-seven, and this child's affairs cannot be rushed."

"Zhao Qingren's girl, when are you going to get married, have you had children, have you met with other parents, when will it be put on the agenda?"

"Actually, you're not in a hurry, Mom knows, but Zhao Qingren can't be delayed, and if you delay it for a year or two, you will become an older mother, which is not good for the child's mother."

Su Ma said this, which really made Su Chen have some ideas.

"I'll hurry up on this matter, Mom and Dad, don't worry, since you've come to Beiping, I'll go out for a walk in a few days."

Dad Su nodded: "You have been in Peking for so many years, do you have any recommended places?" ”

Su Chen opened his mouth: "Ah, the Forbidden City, Badaling or something, you can go wherever you want, it's not bad to go and see the flag-raising." ”

In fact, Su Chen has been in Peking for so many years, and he really hasn't visited the surrounding tourist attractions much.

Dad Su hesitated for a moment and glanced at Mama Su.

"Where is this Bada Hutong?"

Su Chen: "......"

"Dad, don't talk about this......"

……

Su's mother went to pack her luggage, and Su's father asked again.

Su Chen asked rhetorically: "Dad, do you mean, the modern Bada Hutong, or the previous Bada Hutong?" ”

Dad Su hesitated for a moment: "There are still eight major alleys in modern times?" ”

Su Chen nodded: "Yes, there are still now, and it is estimated that there will be no next year." ”

"Do you want to go?"

"Can you go?"

Su's father was a little nervous.

Su Chen comforted: "If you can go, if you don't go to that place once, you may really regret it later, we didn't say that we were going to do it, just to see it." ”

As early as two years ago, Su Chen said that if the "heaven and earth" don't go for a while, he will be sorry for being reborn.

It just so happened that Dad also came, so it's good that the dreams of two generations can be realized on the same day, which is also a good story.

……

Two or three days later, Su Chen found an opportunity and called Xiao Yang.

The three of them drove, called Huang Bo and asked for directions, and went straight to heaven and earth.

Xiao Yang drove the car, moved to tears.

"The relationship between the two of you is really good, you have nothing to talk about."

"It's the first time I've heard of it."

Su Chen put his foot on the car seat: "Don't talk, I can't go, you take my dad with me, if I go, if I take a picture, it will be a big melon." ”

"You'll go up in a moment and let go."

"The kind that can't be taken away, otherwise I don't care, my mother won't let you go."

Xiao Yang was curious: "What about you?" Why don't you go up together? Someone else's secret work, okay, don't you know? ”

Su Chen let out a long sigh: "I'll call Zhao Qingren, show my loyalty, and just drive the car downstairs in a circle." ”

Xiao Yang gave a thumbs up: "A good man is you, you are Zeng Xiaoxian." ”

Su's father pretended to be cold and didn't speak.

Before he came, he told Su Chen that he was really here to see, what did you say about those little girls or something, Su's father made it clear that he was not interested, and it was simply the idea of checking in to Internet celebrity attractions.

Su Chen said, Dad, I understand, I don't need to emphasize it.

The old man still dragged Su Chen and emphasized for another half an hour, he must let his son know that he has a clear heart.

In one night, a total of 50,000 yuan was spent.

Su Chen said that he wanted to pay, but Xiao Yang couldn't do anything.

"My uncle and I hit it off at first sight, and I have to buy this order."

"Brother Chen, I am very happy with your father today, otherwise, in the future, we will talk about our own affairs, I will call you brother, and you will call me ......"

Su Chen smiled at the corner of his mouth and looked at Xiao Yang.

Xiao Yang's facial muscles trembled slightly, and he swallowed back all the words that followed.

Afterwards, Su Chen was curious and asked Su's father what happened in the box that night.

Dad Su smiled and said lightly: "That friend of yours seems to be a little unable to play." ”

For a moment, Su Chen was in awe of the old man.

……

It's the New Year soon.

The major business brands have reported to the head office for review of the publicity plan and promotion expenses for the coming year.

Su Chen's three brand endorsements determined more than ten days ago also have eyebrows.

It's basically settled.

After all, Su Chen is currently a hot first-line star in China, plus an actor.

It is the brand's willingness to find him, as long as Su Chen is willing and agrees, the brand will basically not have a moth.

Just wait for the money to be approved, and after the New Year, it is time to sign an agreement to pay the money.

These are tens of millions, and if nothing else, there will be every year in the future.

The money for the "Nine-Minute Film Festival" with Ning Hao will come out of this.

Busy these days.

Su Chen once again set his sights on "Interstellar".

First of all, there is the issue of money, Su Chen has asked Zhao Qingren to find someone, and roughly consulted the special effects team over there, but he didn't ask indiscriminately, and directly found the team that made special effects for "Avatar".

I probably asked about it, but I didn't reveal too much.

The reply from the other side is that if it is a movie like this in space, the price can be high or low.

If it's low, it's about 10 or 20 million, and if it's high, it's possible to get around 30 or 50 million.

They are talking about the dollar.

If it is 50 million, it is 400 million yuan.

It was similar to Su Chen's estimate.

Moreover, if Su Chen wants to shoot, then during the preliminary preparations, they need to send someone over to let Su Chen know the composition of the special effects.

And then when it's time to shoot, you have to have their people on the spot.

Because of special effects shooting, whether it is a green screen, or the focus positioning of the actors, including AE tracking, it must be a person who understands special effects very well and the director to discuss it together to ensure the effect.

No matter how awesome the special effects are, to put it bluntly, it is the later stage.

If the shooting is good, then the post-production will save trouble and the cost will be low, but if you don't understand it when shooting, and purely let the post-production special effects company deal with it, then the special effects cost of this film is absolutely sky-high.

Su Chen locked himself in the house and made a calculation.

If the post-production special effects are calculated according to 400 million, in terms of shooting and setting up, it will be at least 400 million.

For a film of this level, this on-site shooting team is estimated to have about 300 people, and it may be more than that.

Just thinking about it is already a terrifying thing.

Su Chen spent three days writing a film project book.

Project Name: "Interstellar", film duration: more than two hours, filming and production: continental.

The estimated total investment of the project is 800 million RMB.

Film production cycle: The estimated shooting cycle is one year, and the post-production cycle of special effects is one year.

Movie synopsis: According to the black hole theory of physics, it mainly tells the adventure story of a group of astronauts who travel through wormholes to find a new home for mankind before the end of the earth.

Looking at this movie project book, Su Chen couldn't help but smile.

He really thought it was ridiculous.

Because judging from the current domestic film market, if this film wants to return to its original cost, it means that an investment of 800 million yuan will require a box office of at least 2.4 billion yuan to return to its original cost.

What is the highest box office in China now?

Eight hundred million?

The highest box office record seems to be held by "New World".

Who would dare to invest in this?

It's not business anymore, it's not gambling, it's feelings.

And, more importantly, this is still a science fiction movie, domestic science fiction movies to be honest, there is no soil, Su Chen now wants to put this movie on the big screen, the difficulty is similar to wanting to plant corn on Mars.

"This investment ......"

Su Chen had a person's name in his mind.

"Li Rongchao."

If it is said that in the current film capital market, someone can be found to invest in such a movie.

Then the coal boss is the best choice.

However, even if Li Rongchao is rich, it is impossible to invest hundreds of millions in this movie, and in the past two years, the business of the coal boss has not been good.

It was impossible for Su Chen to embarrass Li Rongchao.

He can find a way to get an investment of 300 million yuan for this movie, but there is still 500 million funds left, which need to be raised from the outside world.

Of course, the remaining 500 million gave Su Chen a year to raise.

So if he is confident, Su Chen can start this matter from now, and then he has a year to slowly find money.

The decision has been made, so no matter how difficult the process is, keep getting it done.

"Descendants of the film and television industry, look at it, I'll only open this way!"

Su Chen planned to spend the New Year after.

Find someone familiar with it and have an internal meeting.

No matter how much money can be pulled, after this meeting, preparations for filming begin.

No, now, I'm already on the way to preparing for filming.

When Su Chen pinched the outline of the script and announced the project in front of Huang Bo and Xiao Yang, Huang Bo and Xiao Yang's reactions were extremely real.

Huang Bo has read the project plan on the computer three times.

When he was about to drag the progress bar to the first page and read it again, Su Chen stopped him.

"Don't look at it, tell me what you think."

Huang Bo bit his thumb nail thoughtfully.

"It's not that I said, you are doing this, I look at him like this...... Belch...... In other words, it's not for me to come and see it, but for all of us to analyze it together, it's a good thing, but ......"

Su Chen didn't want to listen to Huang Bo's nonsense literature, but turned his head to look at Xiao Yang.

Xiao Yang was originally sitting at the table, but when he saw Su Chen's gaze turn to him, Xiao Yang stood up and coughed.

"I think it's already our domestic box office record just for investment."

"He is not making money in this matter, this is already opening the way for Chinese science fiction movies."

Xiao Yang was rare and serious.

"In the past, when they invested in movies, they encountered big risks, and they all said that this is a success."

"Shit! Brother Chen, your project is called a success. ”

Su Chen nodded, Xiao Yang was right, that's the case.

Xiao Yang was silent for a long time: "We are very good now, we have millions a year, whether we make movies or not, we live a comfortable life, if we want to do this thing, if we don't make money, we can hear others praise us." ”

"If it fails, it's really doomed."

Su Chen continued to nod.

Xiao Yang looked at Huang Bo, who had already begun to read the project book for the fourth time.

"Eight hundred million."

Xiao Yang sighed: "Brother Chen, this matter, according to your character, you have taken it out, definitely not to ask if we can do it, but to inform us, you have to do it, right." ”

"Yes."

Su Chen had no expression on his face.

Xiao Yang was silent for a while again: "That's it, everything I have is given by you, you have to say it, out of these 800 million, count me Xiao Yang's five million." ”

Su Chenyi frowned: "Why is it only five million, in the past two years, you have made ten million." ”

Xiao Yang's face flushed.

"Brother, this hook column listens to music, it also costs money."

Su Chen looked at Huang Bo: "Brother Bo, what do you think." ”

Huang Bo frowned: "I'm different from Xiao Yang, he eats alone, the whole family is not hungry, I can't." ”

"This year's extreme challenge, I won't take any money, how much you give me, just throw it all into this bullshit sci-fi movie."

Huang Bo looked distressed.

"Anyway, I understand it, good things don't have my share, you said before, Extreme Challenge will give us a salary increase this year, I thought I could make a fortune this year, but I didn't expect it."

He let out a long sigh.

"I have only one request."

Huang Bo finally closed the computer: "Pull Sun Honglei's grandson into the water for me." ”

"Otherwise, I won't be able to sleep well in my life!"
