Chapter Eighty-Eight: The Follow-up to the Theme Song
Three days later.
Judge Fangda's grandson got out of the car and came to the conference room of Changfeng Film and Television Company.
There have been many investors who have arrived in advance, including some acquaintances who know Big Feige.
Director Shen returned to China two days ago, borrowed a friend's private jet, and held a fake passport and identity, and after leaving the airport, he was under investigation.
Forged identities and entered the country with fake passports is very troublesome for ordinary people, but for Shen Yu, it is possible to go through the formalities.
The U.S. Federation is very interested in Director Shen's Gotham IP, which is a good thing to revitalize local culture, Director Shen is in a hurry to come back to make a movie, and the Russian side may not release people, so it violates the law slightly, which is also human nature - the first three Gothams, the Godfather, the Saving Private Gordon and Schindler's list, have created great economic income for Hollywood, and their fame has also been played, as for the follow-up ...... This is simply a gold mine, and if this series is filmed, the money scene will simply make people tremble.
What's wrong with people rushing back to China to increase local economic income, this is really not a problem.
You see, the Russian side also took the initiative to cooperate, changed the entry and exit records, and made everything legal.
There was chaos in the conference room, but after Shen Yu came in, everyone was quiet all of a sudden.
There was a slight change in the people in the conference room.
When Shen Yu filmed the first two parts before, everyone was familiar with investors, but when the third part put everyone aside and went to cooperate with Xiao Lizhu, some people gossiped.
Why Shen Yu forgot everyone's support, what Shen Yu did not do authentic or something.
Although it was only a very small number of people, and Shen Yu did not react at the time, and then after Schindler's list was filmed and released, everyone knew that this movie was not profitable.
This is a movie specially designed to lose money, and it can only be invested by the Ming Empire, after all, the Ming Dynasty is the first in the world, and it is the Ming people who are rescued.
As a result, there are fewer gossips, but Shen Yu went to Russia to shoot another movie, as for why he wanted to shoot this movie, the mountains of corpses and blood on the east coast verified many rumors.
At this time, the gossiping people found that Shen Yu had grown to the point where they needed to look up.
Just rely on someone else's movie, you can invite big people to make a move, what are you not satisfied with?
Look closely, the two people who gossip the loudest are not invited into the conference room.
"Guys, I'm sorry, but I'm just starting to shoot the fourth part of the series.
First of all, I had some trouble the other day, thanks to the help of some friends, so I am very grateful to them.
The fourth film is called The Silence of the Lambs, and the film shooting budget is 800w yuan. ”
Shen Yu's words made the people below exclaim, other big directors, the bigger the investment in the filming, the higher the price, but Shen Yu is good, the fourth movie is actually only a medium production of 800w yuan.
"However, considering the post-production and other issues of the film, the entire investment amount is 2000w US dollars, and the copyright of the entire film is packaged, including the theme song."
"Theme song?"
Some people still don't understand what it means, and some people already have their eyes glowing.
Making movies has always been a high-risk investment, but music is different.
Good music can make a singer earn millions or more a year, the tour is a super money printing machine, and a song can make a singer sing for ten or twenty years, and he can continue to make money when he is old.
"It's still the same as before, the investment amount of 2000w, 50w a copy, I keep 20%, with technical and director fees to buy shares, the rest, you can subscribe to one or several shares, the share is limited, please understand."
In other words, there is a share of 1600w flowing out, and a quota of 320 shares, everyone present can get a minimum of one share.
Don't underestimate a share of only 50w, the first two investments, everyone's investment has increased at least five times, and at the same time, there is a steady stream of follow-up income, just like a long-term stock, there are dividends for every release, etc.
"Director Shen."
Someone stood up and said very politely to Shen Yu.
"We all agree that your share is too low, and that's not good."
Shen Yu doesn't pay money, he doesn't take the director's fee, he just takes a share, 20% of the share, which is an incredible discount in the eyes of other directors, but in the eyes of many people, this is simply giving money.
Shen Yu sent money to everyone.
Of his four films, the last one is quiet at dawn here, although it has not been officially released, film critics in Russia have given full marks, and the three theme songs are also circulating around the world - a musical movie trailer sung by Princess Celestia herself.
The eldest princess said that although she lost the bet with Shen Yu, Director Shen let her go out of gentlemanly manners, and agreed to let her sing the three songs and so on.
What is this concept? The eldest princess of Russia has to take the initiative to sing for Shen Yu, because of the quality of the song, are you still worried about the quality of Shen Yu's next theme song?
If there is an investment, the investment is 50w, and after two or three months, you can start to divide the money, and you can get more than twice the income in the first year, and then there will be a steady stream of income every year, and you can make money on DVDs and around.
This kind of investment has proven credible three or four times in a row (Schindler's list has exploded at the box office, with a total estimated to exceed $500 million, of course, thanks to the contributions of the rich Ming billions of people, as well as collective viewing organized by government agencies, etc., and although this project did not make a penny, they would be very, very happy to let Universal Studios build a temple for Shen Yu, and the benefits of other aspects cannot be measured by money at all. )
So, why does the person who does this project want to make a fortune with everyone, won't he go to the bank for a loan and make all the money himself?
He only took 20 percent, and he didn't have that reason at all.
He also now puts a theme song in the movie, selling it in a package instead of keeping it for himself.
This is no longer described by generosity, everyone looked at Shen Yu as if they were looking at a saint.
"Gentlemen, I am grateful for your recognition of me.
Money is in your own hands, and in your hands, I don't think it makes a difference, we are all friends.
The fourth film, which is not quite the same as the first three, is likely to have problems when it passes the review, so I will give some shares to some investors on the other side of the ocean in exchange for simultaneous global release. ”
Shen Yu is also very helpless, the dawn here is quiet, why did he give up the dividends, why did he put those two songs in the movie, a big reason is that he can't take money.
After the filming of the third movie, Shen Yu borrowed 50 million US dollars from the bank to prepare for a movie next year, but the bank's loan is not that you borrowed money, he will send it to you directly.
Now the project over there is in full swing, and the loan of 50 million yuan has only spent 30%, and the system assesses that this money is not considered to have fallen into a bottomless pit, on the contrary, it is only 10 million cost.
Well, in this way, what can Shen Yu do?
If the movie is going to be filmed, then give the shares to outsiders, and let those people enjoy the dividends and benefits.
If it weren't for the fear that everyone wouldn't understand, he wouldn't even need that twenty percent.
Three deficiencies and five disadvantages, if there is a lack of success.
In that case, why not make friends?
320 copies, at least so that he can make more friends this time.
To do something, to deal with some people, he needs more friends.
The people below are very moved, really, in this era, such a person who divides the cake.
……
After sending the investors away one by one, Shen Yu returned to the company.
On the first floor of the company, there is a small museum with a lot of things about the company's films, but now it has become the Shen Yu Film Exhibition Hall.
It's not that Shen Yu looks down on the works of those previous directors, but the people who tidy up this museum have complained to Shen Yu many times, saying that other directors' things take up too much space, the museum is too small, and many visitors don't know those people, etc., and he also feels that Director Shen's works are enough, and there is no place to put them.
Shen Yu finally acquiesced in the sycophants and enthusiasm of the people below, and now, a cute little girl was playing in the museum.
It was the little princess, with a camera around her neck, circling around the displays, and taking pictures from time to time.
"Brother Shen, you're back."
She said to Shen Yu with a smile, her eyebrows full of happiness.
Shen Yu won the bet, but the day after he returned, the Tsar and his wife called him and apologized embarrassedly.
First of all, they are embarrassed about what their daughter did.
Second, they hope that Shen Yu can promise to let Princess Celestia continue to sing the second theme song, that is, the ending song of the movie released with Princess Celestia.
On the phone call of the Tsar and his wife, thank you very much to Director Shen Yu Shen for the movie he made, Sophia bet with him is the daughter's fault, please Director Shen don't be angry first, they will send an envoy to explain.
The husband and wife politely talked to Shen Yu, and Shen Yu politely said that he knew.
A day later, the little princess came over on a special plane and told Shen Yu the ins and outs of the matter.
About the meditation of Princess Celestia, about the dangers of her cultivation, and so on.
After the Tsar and his wife met Xiao Lizhu secretly, they learned about the danger their daughter was facing - Sophia never told her parents about the dangers of meditation and the chances that she might have problems, just like going out to work and not talking about difficulties, just telling her parents that she was a genius and that she was fine.
But how did the Tsar and his wife not know about the risks their daughter faced?
Since ancient times, there have been endless problems with the royal family and folk meditation practices, and they have always been worried about their daughters, after hearing Xiao Lizhu's words, the tsar couple made a decision to hide from the eldest princess and release a movie in which she sang the theme song.
It's not safe on the phone, and it's not good for Shen Yu if the news leaks out, in case other transcendent beings know that Shen Yu's song has this ability, it will harm Shen Yu.
So, he sent the little princess to explain in advance, hoping that Shen Yu would agree.
"I'm sorry, it's my sister's fault about this matter, but before the movie is released, we still have to hide it from her, otherwise, with her stinky temper, she will definitely make a big fuss with her parents and resolutely not do such a shameful thing as backtracking, I'm really embarrassed."
The little princess said this to Shen Yu at that time, what did Shen Yu say about this?
He is not the kind of person who is dead to reason, he must hold a certain concept and not change, he didn't give the eldest princess a second song before, because he thinks that this person is not particular about doing things, it is not interesting, you are a princess, rich and powerful, why bother to compete with others for a chance?
Only now did I know that my music actually had such magic, which could allow her to calm her inner demons and not touch foreign objects...... Well, in that case, it doesn't hurt to give it to her.
As for the conditions brought by the little princess, a certain matter of cooperation, referred to as sending money, giving him the corresponding income of the dawn and the song here, and at the same time willing to provide some generous conditions, etc., Shen Yu refused.
He didn't even have anything to say, the only person lost in this matter was the male singer. He also called, thanking Director Shen for his love, he got several good opportunities, including the lead singer of the National Centre for the Performing Arts opera, the scene where the title can go up three steps, and booked a certain award, which made him very happy and thankful, knowing that all this was fought for by Director Shen for him, thank you and thank you.
Well, these things are worth a lot more than a song.
Shen Yu's real enemies are Wu Yuanyuan and Zhu Yourong, not to make enemies in many ways.
"Well, I've finally got the investors for the new film, alas, you don't know, I'm so poor......"
Being poor means that I don't accept it, and you can go home.
"Hmph, Brother Shen, you just like to fool people."
Of course, the little princess knew what Shen Yu meant, but she was not angry, let's put it this way, Shen Yu is now an artist, such a person is still her idol, of course she thinks he has a good personality
"The dawn here is quietly about to be fully released, and your sister is about to wake up from meditation, don't you want to see the scene of your sister's blushing and embarrassed face? Remember to send me a copy after the video. ”
Shen Yu's words with a smile made the little princess nod.
What Shen Yu said is that her sister is as elegant as a white swan, and she is not chaotic on weekdays, but it is rare to see her make a fool of herself this time, how can she not go back?
Especially when she found out that she had reversed herself, she was probably angry to death.
"Director Shen, I want to be the heroine of your movie, is that okay?"
She said this, every girl has a star dream.
"Go back and study hard, go up every day, and when you come to me when you are an adult, I will shoot a V for you."
Shen Yu said politely, hehe, when she becomes an adult, she will already push open the door, who can tell when the time comes?
"Okay, Brother Shen, I'm leaving."
She politely saluted Shen Yu, and the girl with braids politely walked out of Changfeng Film and Television Company along the corridor accompanied by Shen Yu.
Many people watched curiously as Shen Yu personally sent a blonde girl out, especially the smiling appearance of the two of them.
"Director Shen, who is she?"
A staff member asked curiously.
The arrival of the little princess was secret, and she used a different identity.
"She's just a young Russian actor, come and audition, I need a little girl for a play."
Shen Yu said lightly.
That should be the seventh part.
