Chapter 110 Fundraising
With Lan Yuan's 150 million support, then there will only be 450 million in the future.
I have to admit that set shooting is indeed the most cost-effective and highest rate of return.
Back then, the Lord of the Rings movies were so awesome, and the three were filmed together, with a total investment of 100 million US dollars.
600 million Chinese dollars, which is almost 100 million US dollars.
When it's done, it's really comparable to The Lord of the Rings.
However, everything in the world is simple, but it is not easy to "do it well".
Li Xianyun summed it up and felt that it was unrealistic to reach the Lord of the Rings level.
Although Peter Fat was also a rookie director when he first made the film, he had directed ghosts or something before, and he had not made any big productions, so he may not be as good as himself in terms of experience, but he has two big advantages that Li Xianyun does not have.
One is that he genuinely loves it.
The fat man really likes the story of The Lord of the Rings, and he really shoots it for love. They have been planning for many years and are fully engaged in the preparations.
As for the Superhero series, I'm sorry, I love the money it brings.
Love is the foundation of quality, and it may not be possible to do things without this, but most of them are bad.
The second is that Hollywood's studios are extremely mature and have a full set of industrial systems, both in terms of technology and personnel. Although the new line pictures he cooperated with were not one of the big six, they were also the top names in the second-tier companies.
These things are really not something you can solve by throwing money at them.
You say that I will give 50,000 a day, and I want the most awesome photographer, believe it or not, Rong Dasheng will dare to come out and pat his chest and tell you: I am a photographer for 100,000 a day, and I will give you a brother price on my friend's face.
Without that talent, no amount of money is of any use.
You said to look for it abroad, I'm sorry, the pit is still pitted.
Even worse, Hollywood is a mess, and the only way to control these guys is that I'm better than you!
Li Xianyun can only prove that I am the most awesome in the Internet University and the company, and he can't even control Huaguo Cinema.
When someone from Hollywood comes, it will immediately make you deeply reflect and realize that you are not a fart.
By the same token, why can DJI's drones be so awesome? This is not only their own credit, but the whole country, especially Shenfu, has a large number of related supporting manufacturers, mature technology, and the operation of the city, low cost.
So DJI's cost performance is the most awesome.
You asked him to try to move the business abroad?
In short, the environment is there, and super geniuses are useless, not to mention that Li Xianyun is talented at best, and he is not a super genius - it turns out that I am not a genius? Sure enough, my life is a mainstream abuse, and I'm a stupid author.
Thinking about it this way, Li Xianyun quickly put out his mind about making a superhero movie at the level of The Lord of the Rings, and turned his head to study how it could be filmed under the current conditions.
The mode of three crews starting at the same time is definitely not good, and if you want to do a good job, you must shoot all the way with a single crew.
The time cycle will be longer, but the quality can be more stable, the technical department can be used, but not overdone, and indeed excessive fatigue will also lead to a decline in quality.
Of course, there are some things that don't think too far, be down-to-earth, down-to-earth, and maybe more effective.
When Director Wu Da filmed Soldier Wolf 2, he definitely didn't think that my film could go to 5 billion, his real thought should be: I want to shoot the film to look good, and leave the rest to God, the sky will live up to his heart.
It is undeniable that the popularity of Soldier Wolf 2 is related to luck, but the quality is there, even if there is no luck, the box office of three or four billion will not be able to run.
Good quality determines the lower limit, and luck determines the upper limit.
You can't control the fortune, you can only control the quality!
That's the right way to go.
After thinking about it like this, Li Xianyun realized that it was not appropriate for him to freeze the film in three-quarters of the scene in a ghost town, and the venue was too limited.
But with so many special effects and such a big cost savings, from the boss's point of view, it must not be without.
So Li Xianyun lowered the standard again, and he could become a ...... like the wandering planet It can't be lowered again, and if it is lowered again seventeen or eighteen times, it will be to the Demon Capital Fortress.
set the standard, and after coming back, Li Xianyun called Dong Zixin over and told her the general plan, and Dong Zixin was very satisfied with this standard.
She said directly: "The investment of 600 million, is it considered a ghost town and special effects?" ”
"Count."
"That's not 600 million." The little girl muttered.
"Damn, be content!" Li Xianyun glared.
Why is it that your own resources are not money?
Dong Zixin squinted at him: "How much?" ”
Li Xianyun was big for a while: "This time is a big investment, and we can't rely on ourselves alone, so this time we have to raise funds from outside, report 1 billion, and our resources will be 600 million." ”
Dong Zixin glared: "You also play that set?" ”
Li Xianyun shook his head: "I don't pit investors' money, these 600 million are worth the money, all the ghosts will be used, and there are a large number of sites in the ghost town, at that time, the development of the ghost town should have been completed, all of them will be used, and some of the four phases will be used if there is time." ”
"That's not worth 600 million."
"What about the actors? We have one line, four second lines, and more than ten third and fourth lines! ”
"You won't use it all."
"There is also publicity, you and me, in the later stage, all the resources that can be used." Li Xianyun said: "Enough, Zixin, you are not the boss, I have already given you face." Besides, there is only success or failure in the business field, there is no good or evil! Do you understand? ”
"But I remember you said you wanted to be a clean company?" Dong Zixin stared at him.
Li Xianyun's body shook suddenly.
He took a deep breath – yes, I said that too.
He looked at Dong Zixin in a daze, for a long time, and finally said: "The special effects are 200 million, the venue, the director and the technical department are worth 200 million, I will let Xin Yu, Lu Xiaozhen, Qin Yuqi, Yunzhi, Jiang Lanwen, Lin Xiaoyu, Lan Lan also join, this is also 200 million." We will contribute another 100 million in cash, and the sponsorship will be distributed according to the proportion of equity, and the publicity will be calculated separately. ”
Dong Zixin nodded: "Yes." ”
She said and turned to leave.
Seeing her leave, Li Xianyun leaned back: "Stinky girl." ”
Although Dong Zixin made him a little annoyed, at that moment, Li Xianyun was very grateful to her.
Thank you for keeping the bottom line a little bit.
Since you don't make money, you don't need to find a layman, just find an insider, and you can also use resources.
So Li Xianyun made another phone call, the old ghost, the swift platform, and even Linglan and Huayou's phone calls.
According to Li Xianyun's meaning, the Chaoying trilogy is one billion, Yisheng Media accounts for 68% of the shares with resources and cash, and Swift Platform, Old Ghost, and Linglan each contribute part of the resources and cash to account for 30% of the shares.
There are also two percent of the Blue Yuan Group, so people have so many sponsors.
At the same time, Yisheng Media must own all copyrights, and the follow-up development will not be divided.
Of course, the finances must be transparent, everyone is a veteran in the industry, and there will be basically no huge pits, and even if there is, it is a small part.
After listening to Li Xianyun's plan, everyone felt that it could be done.
Although the superhero market may be aesthetically fatigued, after all, it is the field of the Internet University, and there is no fatigue in the hundreds of films on a theme of the Internet University, let alone the theater chain.
But the conditions still have to be discussed.
Linglan was busy collecting Huayou, and the funds were also tight, so they said very angrily: We will replace 100 million with a top male number one and a second-tier one, after all, it is not appropriate for your family to be female artists.
Depend on.
The actor still got it from Huayou.
Li Xianyun said that we are down-to-earth, do not use stars, and strive to shoot the film to the end.
Zheng Honghui and Zheng Da Boss sneered, what are your family's 200 million artist resources? Pork?
Li Xianyun continued to be brazen: there must be a few people who can fight to support the field. Anyway, I don't want artists, other resources can be considered.
joke, his own family's movies must use his own artists, otherwise Dou Lingling must know that he threw out such a big piece of fat, and he had to kill him to play a king-killing drama.
This is also the reason why domestic films are not as good as foreign ones, like Hollywood producers' first criterion for selecting actors is suitable - but this is also because they themselves do not act as actors' agents.
Huaguo's film and television companies don't have so many restrictions, and they do their own actor agents, so the criteria for selecting actors are often given priority to their own family, and then the question of suitability.
Li Xianyun said: I am a real Chinese person, and I must respect Chinese traditions.
Of course, in order to choose the right artist, you can also choose the artist first, and then sign it.
