After getting the superhero script, Li Xianyun has to go back to preparing for the end of the world.

The experience of this decisive battle with the crew in Sky City made Li Xianyun deeply aware of the difficulties of crew management.

The bigger the crew, the more big names, the more special things there are, and the complexity is high.

The reason why he hasn't encountered so many things before is largely due to his lack of self-confidence, looking for obedient people, and in addition, the small crew is small, and it is really easy to manage.

This mentality directly led to another change in the Doomsday Crazy Flower Cooperation.

By the end of March, the script for Doomsday Flowers was fully completed.

On the ghost town side, under Jiang Zheng's construction, the Doomsday Town has also been preliminarily successfully built.

The next step is to discuss the details of resources according to the previously determined cooperation plan.

Because everyone is in the industry, the controversy in this area has gradually become small, so the pricing of basic resources and the payment of their respective needs are quickly completed.

But when it came to the actors, there was a problem again.

The actors produced by Yisheng Media are mainly Qin Yuqi Bai Xiaoxian Lin Xiaoyu, and there are also two special actors, but these people are not famous enough and can't resist the theater, so the main actors have to watch Huayou.

This time, Huayou arranged two second-tier and three third-tier, which can be regarded as relatively famous.

Among them, the most famous are the two second-tier, the actor is called Pan Wei, and the actress is called Yu Jiao, both of whom have starred in several big productions.

However, speaking of which, the first and second lines of the entertainment industry are actually nonsense, just like the gods in the online literature circle, there has never been a unified standard.

As long as you are shameless enough, Qin Yuqi and Bai Xiaoxian can be blown into a line.

Some people are dissatisfied because of this, and feel that the first line is not enough to show their status, so the term top stream, super line or something was born again.

Anyway, the casino is pompous, and if you don't blow it, you are not qualified to mix in this circle.

But this boast may not be believed by others, and the actors themselves often believe it.

Another sign that accompanies this self-confidence is that such actors have their own agents, assistants, and more than one.

What's even more troubling is that they usually have some special conditions.

For example, the male No. 1 Pan Wei, whose conditions include that it must be a five-star hotel and have an accompanying nanny car with air conditioning; The water to drink must be of a certain brand, and it must be in a small bottle, not a large bottle; There are twelve entourages, eight bodyguards and four assistants, and they also have to live in rooms of the same level, and the film party is responsible for the expenses during the period......

The female No. 1 Yu Jiao also has similar conditions, not to mention the car, room, and entourage, in addition, her room must have lilies every day, five, one more or less is not enough, two must be flower bones; Shoots should not exceed eight hours per day......

Li Xianyun took this agreement and looked at it for a long time, thinking that I invited two uncles over?

It's hard to measure whether they have second-tier strength and fame, but this shelf is absolutely there.

Think about what you saw in the decisive battle in Sky City......

Exercise!

He directly picked up the phone and called Yang Yuan, "The conditions of these two people, as well as the special conditions of the three third-lines, do not agree to any of them, love to do it, not to do it." ”

Hearing this, Yang Yuan also had a headache.

He understands Li Xianyun better now.

This man is very controlling!

But the problem is that he is not a director!

The actors' shelves are also based on the producer, especially the director.

The greater the director's fame, the smaller the actor's shelf, and vice versa.

Li Xianyun's specialty lies in his special effects to save costs, and the films he makes can make money, but this has nothing to do with popular models.

Film and television companies like such people, it doesn't matter if they are popular or not, the key is to make money stably, so they must do everything possible to cooperate.

But the actor didn't like it!

What they want is a famous director, it doesn't matter if the movie loses money or not, the key is to be able to improve their fame and status.

Of course, if you have money, you are a big boss, and I also admit it.

But this recognition is at the dinner table, on the bed, in the shopping store, and it is you who can bring me more and better resources.

As for Li Xianyun, I'm sorry, you are not a big boss yet, you have neither the temptation of a shopping store, nor the cards of a famous director's big production, and the actors don't eat this set.

As for ghost towns? Hehe, it's just a big construction site now.

Therefore, Yang Yuandao said, "As long as it is above the second line, there will basically be this kind of requirement, but it is different in all directions." So even if I change it for you, I won't be able to change it to the second line without requirements. ”

Li Xianyun said, "Then don't want the second line, and don't want the third line." ”

me!

You don't want a second line, we want it!

You must know that the two, second, and third lines are in the resources paid by Huayou, and they are also the big heads.

Second-tier actors are very expensive, although they are also up and down, from three million to ten million, it is possible, but there are not millions anyway.

Among them, Pan Wei has 4 million, Yu Jiao has 4 million, three third-line 3 million, a total of 11 million, and the rest of the money is used for publicity, and this is all internal price, film and television companies cooperate with each other and know each other's roots, Huayou can't make much money from this aspect - their core is still external valuation.

Li Xianyun retired in one sentence, so how to calculate this resource?

Yang Yuan immediately had a headache: "Brother, you make it difficult for me to do this." ”

Li Xianyun said directly: "You know that I am a practical person, and people like us are more willing to spend money on those visible levels." ”

Yang Yuan nodded again and again: "I understand!" I know! Many directors are like you, but capital operation is not. ”

Huayou, the five big-name actors, made a price of 11 million for Yisheng Media, and took out the price of 30 million!

Now without these actors, what are you selling?

The meaning of the existence of an actor is not only acting, fame, fans, but also the most important point is capital operation.

The capital operation is also divided into two parts.

One is to pull investment, and the other is to sell equity.

To put it bluntly, bringing in 40 million investment, spending 20 million to shoot, and then selling equity for 100 million, this is the common operation mode of many film and television companies.

What about film and television companies that are not cranky?

It is to bring in 40 million investments, and really spend 40 million, but part of them is spent on their own resources, and then part of it is returned to their own hands, which is a legitimate and legitimate profit - just like a broker, it is natural for a broker to make a difference, and the internal operation of the enterprise also needs profits.

As for selling equity for 100 million, that is just a matter of ability, and it is not a pit, but only a fool. You have the ability to fool out, it's your ability.

Therefore, it can be understood that a conscientious film and television company earns money from resource money and project income. A film and television company without conscience makes money from resource money, project income, and black money...... All sorts of black money.

It's as simple as that.

Generally speaking, as long as the resource profit of a film and television company is controlled within 30 percent, it is basically acceptable.

All those who say that my resources don't make money are bullshit and fart, film and television companies rely on resources to eat, the same artist, the external price is 1 million, and the film and television company may arrange 700,000, and this 300,000 is their legitimate profit. Even if you know that this is the case, with the difference of 300,000 yuan to talk to the owner, no one will pay attention to you - there are rules to follow, and it is difficult to get mixed up if you don't follow the rules.

But something like Li Xianyun looking for Lin Xiaoyu is not a violation of the rules, because Lin Xiaoyu did not have a broker who bought out the contract at that time, and some were only cooperative brokers.

With an exclusive one, if he takes the job without authorization, it will be a breach of contract.

Artists with brains basically don't do this, but there are still many brainless artists - there was once a female artist who borrowed her own agent to get into the bed of a rich man, connected several dramas under the arrangement of the other party, and skipped the agent all. Later, the rich man got tired of playing and dumped her, and a few garbage movies didn't make her popular, and when she went back to find the original agent, how could the agent still want her? Not only did she not want to, but she even told the whole circle that this girl was unreliable, so she had to leave the industry and find a good person to marry.

Far from it.

In short, in this model, famous actors are a key link in the capital operation chain, the key to attracting investment, the signboard to attract audiences, and the core of selling equity!

It's the same even if it's publicity.

You have to have a name to spread the word, right?

People use famous actors, and when they announce it, they shout "Who is playing in our film".

If you are a person who does basic skills solidly, when you announce it, you shout, "How much did we spend on the art of this scene?" How much art is there? ”

At that time, even if the public does not have cigars, they will wave their hands collectively: "I don't think it will be so much money." ”

If there is no famous actor, how can I attract investment? How to publicize? How to sell equity?

How do you convince others that this is a "blockbuster"?

Only Li Xianyun, an outlier, will focus on the quality of finished products by relying on his own investment.

And film and television companies always focus on capital operation.

The essence is different, and the two sides are destined to be very different.

This incident suddenly became a huge gap between Yisheng Media and Huayou.

It is impossible for Huayou to give up these actors, it is okay to change people, the coffee position cannot be changed, and special conditions must be necessary.

And Li Xianyun is also very persistent in this matter, even if Yang Yuan proposed that those special conditions should be met by Huayou, Li Xianyun did not agree.

Not to mention anything else, he couldn't accept just shooting for eight hours a day.

He's figured it out now, too.

His current boss is not big, and the director's coffee position is even smaller, if these actors come over, most of them will not obey him - Li Xingyuanwei is a little This kind of thing will definitely happen again.

Therefore, it is normal to have problems, but it is rare to have problems.

Isn't doing business all about low risk?

Li Xianyun regained the risk control theory, the company can be in debt, and the crew must have zero risk.

Bullshit theory, bullshit operation!

Yang Yuan was also drunk.

He said helplessly, "You are like this, this cooperation can't continue." ”

Li Xianyun didn't care either, "I can't help this." ”

That's how it is to do business, even if you work hard in the early preparations, you will often fail in the end for various reasons.

In this theater, both sides spent a lot of energy, including the script, co-ordination, and planning, and even the ghost town base and scenery art work have begun, but now they are going to brake because of this problem.

Yang Yuan said helplessly, "That's it, I'll talk to the boss and see what he means." Hopefully it won't affect the friendship between you and me. ”

"Of course not." Li Xianyun solemnly promised, "By the way, if he doesn't agree, sell me the script." ”

"Huh?" Yang Yuan was stunned: "You want to shoot it yourself?" ”

"I put so much effort into it, and I don't want to waste it, I just have some money in hand."

Yang Yuan thought about it for a while, and said seriously, "Brother, you must be able to play capital in film and television, otherwise you won't be able to go far." ”

Li Xianyun said lightly, "But those who can really come out are all those who work the basic skills, and if there is no bitter cold, how can plum blossoms?" ”

Okay, at this point, Yang Yuan has nothing to say, so he has to repay the boss.

Sure enough, Shi Jun, the boss of Huayou, became angry on the spot when he heard this.

Not only that, but he was not even willing to sell the script to Li Xianyun.

Hearing the news, Li Xianyun was also happy.

If you don't sell my script, can't I do it myself?

The plot can't be plagiarized, but it can be routine.

Many things can still be used for changing faces and skins, and one number of ways can still be used.

If you don't sell it, I will save the script fee.

The more Li Xianyun thought about it, the happier he became, which made Yang Yuan speechless.

However, just when everyone felt that the cooperation had failed and was ready to start it alone, things took a turn for the better.

The turnaround comes from the Legend of the Dragon's Tomb.
