"Hello, is it Shen Lang?" Shen Lang was thinking about when Huang Mengying came back and heard the voice of a middle-aged man.

"It's Mr. Wu." Shen Lang looked at the middle-aged man with glasses and quickly stood up and said.

This is the director and screenwriter of "Made in the Border Area", and he is also an actor himself, after Shen Lang learned about "Made in the Border Area", he also knows a little about him.

He himself has filmed a lot of dramas, and the most important thing is that he knows Ning Hao, the head of the novice village of China Entertainment, who is the producer of Ning Hao's "Incense" and "Wednesday and Thursday".

Although it is just a friend that Ning Hao didn't know, he can be regarded as a connection, and he may be able to go to Ning Hao.

He made an appointment to talk to Shen Lang directly face-to-face, this Shen Lang was quite surprised, under normal circumstances, although China is a director-centered system, but when it comes to finding money, it's better to make the producer first.

For example, "Heart Labyrinth", he learned about it from his classmates, the work of alumni, but when he knew his investment intentions, he still came to the door with the producer first.

This producer is not the actual director's parents, but a young man surnamed Ren who invested in Xin Yukun, and Shen Lang has seen him before, so he is very busy.

However, thinking that the director of "Made in the Border Area" himself is also a producer, it is understandable that this is most likely a project that he organized the bureau.

Shen Lang also saw that he was originally a public servant, deputy director of the Propaganda Center, and chairman of the Federation of Literary and Art Circles in a certain district of the provincial capital, no wonder he could think of making this kind of movie.

This is also his first directorial film, at least there is no pressure on investors to make this kind of film, and if there is a subsidy, it is easy to return to the capital.

Movies don't rely on how much box office they sell to make money, and if they can be released, it is a success, which can understand why there are many movies that look at a loss, and the themes are not pleasing, but there is no shortage of people to shoot.

This man's name is Wu Jun, and Shen Lang made an appointment with him to meet here, and the place is a café near the school.

Shen Lang didn't take Qiao either, he came first, although people want to invest, there is no need to be too aggrieved, there is no need.

"Yes, Wu Jun, Xiao Zhang introduced me."

This Xiao Zhang is Xin Yukun's friend, and Xin Yukun also connected Wu Jun through him.

"What do you drink?"

"Just coffee."

Wu Jun is not strange to this kind of occasion, and the conversation is either a wine table or a café.

"This time, I also heard from Xiao Zhang that we have fellow villagers who want to invest in movies, so I hurried over." Wu Jundao.

This technique is very applicable, what Shen Lang said here is only possible, and you are sure of what he said in this sentence.

"Mr. Wu, I also want to know what is the situation of our movie?"

"Hey, in the past few years, I have written a script, and some friends think it is good and recommend me to shoot it, I have also been an actor for many years, and the producer has also done it a few times, I really have this idea.

My friend is also going to invest in me, I'm so ruthless, come on, it just so happens that there is a subsidy for our kind of movie.

This is not the beginning of the preparation is quite smooth, all the filming has started, and the funds have been cut off. Wu Jun probably said something.

"Is it because the subsidy is not in place?" Shen Lang said.

"That's not it, my friend's investment, as well as the above subsidies, plus the actors' equipment is in place, the investment is very small.

There is also support for the filming location, and there is a subsidy for accommodation, which was originally enough, but who knew that my friend's capital chain was a little tight.

It doesn't matter if the capital chain is broken on his side, the main thing is that the subsidy above is not in place at one time, it is given in several installments, and the money on our side cannot come out, and the subsidy above is also worried about something happening and is stuck. Wu Jun said.

Okay, the above can give you subsidies and support, but you also have to pay for it yourself, and simply rely on subsidies to earn subsidies for filming, although you do this, but you can't say that.

Generally, you invest money to set it up first, and you can see it above, Ao, if you are eligible, you will be supported.

After Wu Jun's friend withdrew the investment, it was difficult, in fact, everyone up and down knew that you wanted to earn subsidies, but it was all about subsidies, what do you want.

As for why he retreated, Shen Lang didn't ask Wu Jun, but learned about it from Xin Yukun's friend.

The main reason is that he feels that there is no future, he originally wanted to rely on Wu Jun to earn support subsidies, as long as it can be released, the total subsidy is two million, plus miscellaneous things, two and a half million should not be a big problem.

This is not a scolding, it really has a lot of hope, two and a half million, spend one million hundreds of thousands to make a movie, and you can return hundreds of thousands.

If you are very lucky, you can make some money after the movie is released, after all, Wu Jun's resume is okay, Ning Hao's friend, and the golden signboard.

The investor originally planned to do so, but when he saw that there were no familiar people in the group, this group of people was lying flat than him, and he thought the same way.

That's it, but the crew often asks him for money, and the original plan was that he would invest hundreds of thousands, and earn hundreds of thousands to be satisfied.

Don't think about it, Wu Jun will definitely have to share the money, after all, if these subsidies can come down, it depends on him, and there is a high probability that he can still get the lion's share.

However, there is a bit of overspending in the back, and investors feel that they have lost money, because whether it is expenditure or income, it is in these 2.5 million yuan.

Spend a little more, and in the end divide a little less, he thinks it's not worth it, and then he doesn't want to pay later.

Shen Lang understood, it's not that the crew deliberately cheated money, no matter how good the preset is, it is inevitable that there will be places that are not in place, exceeding tens of thousands of yuan.

To be honest, this is not a lot of money, but for such a movie, it hurts a lot.

In fact, Shen Lang also understood that Wu Jun himself could renew the money, and he himself had money, but if he used his own money to invest in movies, he wouldn't do that, and he didn't want to take any risks.

The reason why investors are reluctant to continue to invest is that they feel that there is no need to do something else.

"How much investment is there for the film?" Shen Lang asked seriously.

"Actually, it's not too much, my friend has already invested 500,000 yuan before and after, and there will be 300,000 yuan in the follow-up to re-prepare the crew."

"Can 300,000 be filmed?"

"No, the above subsidy is one million, and it only receives more than 500,000 yuan, as long as the crew can get 300,000 yuan to invest in reshooting, then the remaining 500,000 can be divided into several installments." Wu Jundao.

"In this case, the investment is not low, more than 1.8 million?" Shen Lang wondered.

"Yes, but you are also an insider, until the number of investments in movies is already very low." Wu Jundao.

"Well, how is the income calculated, can it be returned, Mr. Wu, I will say it more bluntly." Shen Lang said.

"Of course, after all, no one's money is blown by the wind, I can introduce to you the expected income of the movie, as well as the follow-up share of the box office, and the sale of copyrights."

Shen Lang listened very carefully, but he also knew why his friend didn't want to invest.
