The filming phase is all done.

Lu Yang will take all the footage after filming to China Film to find the master of the editing department to edit the material.

The material goes through several processes of rough cutting, fine cutting, and fine editing, plus post-production, soundtrack, subtitles, etc., and the last film is really formed.

Of course, the whole process is inseparable from the director's participation, because everything is decided by the director.

These have little to do with Gu Wei, according to the contract with China Film in the early stage, during the later release period, [Gu Wei Studio] will have some suggestion rights.

He is now waiting for Lu Yang to do a good job in the post-production and make the film, and then the studio will communicate with China Film about the release and release.

When Gu Wei returned to the capital with Zhang Tianai, the time had come to September, and his second semester in the academy had already begun.

After getting off the plane, the company's car was already waiting outside the airport to pick them up.

"Honey, I'll send you back to your residence first, the school still has some things to deal with, and we'll contact you when we're done."

Gu Wei said in the car.

Zhang Tianai rented a house in the capital, although she graduated from the academy now, she is only a small actor with less than 18 lines, and her main income is still based on being an advertising model, and the roles she has played since she started her career are all tricks.

This time she played the small supporting role in [Embroidered Spring Knife] is already the best role she has ever gotten.

Soon the car drove downstairs to Zhang Tianai's house, and the two reluctantly separated.

"Mr. Gu, are we going back to school or the company." The master who drove the car was called Zhang Long, a full-time driver recruited by the studio for Gu Wei, in his 40s, a veteran, very honest, and rarely spoke.

"Brother Zhang, let's go to the company first."

When I came to the company, my agent Yang Liwen was looking at the crew bills that the finance got back.

As one of the investors, [Gu Wei's personal film and television studio], although it is not the main prosecution and is not responsible for the production of the film, it is also the duty to arrange a financial person to enter the crew and monitor the income and expenditure of the crew.

These are all written in the contract with China Film in the early stage, after all, when it comes to making movies, the director and crew want to make money in it, it's too easy.

There is too much room for maneuver here, not to mention anything else, just talk about the costumes and props when acting, how much it costs, where to decide, whether to rent or buy, there are a lot of exquisiteness.

For props and costumes worth 1 million, the director quotes 5 million, finds his own company, and takes 4 million to enter his pocket reasonably and legally.

is like Chen Kexin, a big director in Hong Kong, making a movie, a straw hat is quoted for 6,000 US dollars, and the whole movie is filmed, no matter what the box office is, whether the investor loses money or not, anyway, the director makes a lot of money.

Although Gu Wei believes in Lu Yang's character and believes in the professionalism of China Film, in business, the villain first and then the gentleman, and the supervision that should be in place, naturally no one has the courage to reach out, which is good for everyone.

"How's the bill, there's nothing wrong with it?"

Gu Wei sat opposite the agent and asked

"I probably took a look, it should be no problem, some projects use surprisingly little money, and Director Lu Yang really spent all the money on the blade."

Yang Liwen sorted out the bill book and replied.

"I can trust my brother's character and ability.

In terms of the later stage and distribution of the film, you have to do a good job of docking with China Film, although we are not the distributor, but after all, the investment share is very high, if the box office of the movie is good, it is also a good thing for us. ”

"Our company doesn't have any media resources for the time being, and when the movie is about to be released, we will try to promote it on the Internet."

"Understood," Yang Liwen replied

"Mr. Gu, I have something to ask you for, I contacted some of my original contacts, because the movie you are making now is still in a state of pending broadcast, and there is no fame in the circle, and some TV drama crews are only willing to give the role of male 3 or male 4 the opportunity to audition.

Are you going to watch these plays? ”

Gu Wei took a few scripts and read them, all of them were names that he had never heard of.

Said with a frown

"All these scenes are rejected, and after [Embroidered Spring Knife] is released, there will be a script to find it.

How did you get the copyright I asked you to collect? ”

Yang Liwen said

"I was about to report this to you, but the film and television adaptation rights of the novels you mentioned earlier have been partially collected. It's just that in recent years, as long as it is a popular novel, the copyright has risen sharply, and there is not much money in the company's account. ”

As he spoke, he handed over a document.

"Then there is Gu Man's [smiling slightly, very captivating], and there is a Shanghai company that is also talking about copyright.

The previous [He Yisheng Xiaomo] copyright fee was sold for 1 million, and now the two companies are competing, Gu Man has raised the price to 1.5 million, and the companies in Shanghai are still hesitating, Mr. Gu, do you think we can buy it? ”

"Buy, at this price, tell Gu Man that it's no problem, sign the contract as soon as possible." Gu Wei directly clapped the board.

"But Mr. Gu, the money in our company's account is no longer enough."

"It's okay, I'll figure out the money, you contact Gu Man as soon as possible."

"Okay, Mr. Gu."

Originally, at the beginning of June, there were less than 4 million in the studio's account, and in more than 3 months, after collecting and purchasing some film and television copyrights, there were only more than 500,000 left.

Gu Wei looked at the price of bitcoin, which has skyrocketed since the beginning of the year, and now it has reached the stage of $10 a piece, and now selling it all can solve the problem.

But Gu Wei knows that next year will be the year when Bitcoin will begin to rise wildly, and by the end of 2013, it will rise to up to 8,000 yuan a piece.

In the following years, although there were ups and downs, but the overall upside, the highest time reached more than 10,000 US dollars, and now selling, is to lose the watermelon and pick up sesame seeds.

[Embroidered Spring Knife] has not yet been completed, and there is still some time before the release, not to mention the dividends.

In fact, there is a way, which is to use the copyright of [Embroidered Spring Knife] and the expected income of the film to go to the bank to make a mortgage.

In fact, since the filming of "Hero" in 2002, Zhang Weiping has obtained loans from international financial institutions, and by 2004, domestic commercial banks have also begun to get involved in this field. Films such as "Night Banquet", "The City Full of Golden Armor", "Assembly Number", and "October Siege" all have bank credit funds behind them; "Tangshan Earthquake" received a loan of 120 million yuan from Industrial and Commercial Bank of China, and "Jinling Thirteen Gates" received a loan of 150 million yuan from Minsheng Bank.

As long as it is a film produced by China Film, it is very easy to make a copyright and pre-income pledge loan if the procedures are complete.

"You first prepare our company's documents, as well as some contract documents for investing in [Embroidered Spring Knife].

Come with me for a trip to China Film in a while. ”

Gu Wei said

The things were ready, and Gu Wei took the agent to the building of China Film.

found Deputy Director Han of the film and television department who was in charge of the [Embroidered Spring Knife] matter, Deputy Director Han is in his 40s, and he is also a graduate of the directing department of the college, but he entered the system after graduation.

Deputy Director Han was very enthusiastic, and as soon as he entered the door, he got up and shook hands with Gu Wei

"Xiao Gu is here, Lu Yang is cutting the film downstairs now, I watched the rough cut of the [Embroidered Spring Knife] you shot, is it very good."

"Where, where, thanks to your strong support Director Han. Without your optimism and support in terms of manpower and material resources, Senior Brother Lu Yang and I are full of iron and can hit a few nails. ”

Gu Wei said with a smile

"I came today to ask Director Han for a favor."

Director Han listened and looked at Gu Wei, "What's the matter, let's talk about it, it stands to reason that you are also my junior brother, if there is anything, as long as you don't violate the principles, the senior brother should help and help." ”

"That's right, Director Han. The main funds of my company have been invested in [Embroidered Spring Knife], and now there are new projects, isn't there no money? I want to use the copyright and pre-income in the possession of [Embroidered Spring Knife] as collateral to borrow some money from the bank. ”

Director Han said with a smile

"It's all a trivial matter, we have a cooperative bank with China Film, and [Embroidered Spring Knife] is a movie produced and distributed by China Film, and the bank can be trusted.

Let me introduce you to a person, he is the vice president in charge of loans at the branch of the Bank of Communications, and his surname is Guo. If you have prepared the formalities, you will say that I introduced it, and the interest rate will be calculated according to the interest of China Film's previous cooperation. ”

"Thank you so much, Director Han, you have helped me a lot."

Director Han said

"It's nothing, it's all a trivial matter, you guys make a good movie and have a good box office after it is released, which is the biggest support for me."
