Chapter 32: Putting down the butcher's knife, the Dragon King returns

"Director......" Zhou Yitian looked suspicious, "so young? And what you're talking about has nothing to do with movies, right...... Do you have to do this when you make movies? ”

If it were, then he wouldn't have joined.

In fact, he has no plans to join now.

"Brother Tian, do you know how to make a movie to get back to the basics?" Zhang Cheng asked rhetorically.

Only by answering questions can we take the initiative in the dialogue.

Now that Zhou Yitian has been suppressed by him, he subconsciously replied, "High box office." ”

After all, at least the box office has to be three times the investment to pay back.

"Short, narrow-minded."

Zhang Cheng shook his head and sighed, and continued: "It's easy for the movie to get back to the original thief.

"Let's say now I'm going to make a movie with an investment of 100 million. Then the salary is 90 million, and the actor must use the actor of the investor.

In this way, ninety percent of the salary is withdrawn, which is equivalent to saying that the investor has paid 10 million.

"Of course, if you give the actor a little more, let's count it as one million, and in the end, the investor will get back 89 million."

At this time, Tang Ying, who came to be the "overseer", replied, "Isn't this a loss?" Brother Cheng, is the investor a fool? ”

She's not going to do it anyway.

Returning the funds? If she goes back to the cage, she will only have to eat soil!

"If you think so, then you are a fool, my little Mr. Tang."

He waved his hand to let Tang Ying play with him, and then continued:

Then the film was shot with 10 million, and the copyright plus 1 million was directly sold to a shell listed company, preferably a shell company opened by the investor's boss.

"Then as soon as the company publicizes the project, the stock will naturally rise, and this 11 million is equal to the return of capital.

"In the end, you will be surprised to find that the movie made at a cost of 100 million has not been released, and the cost has been fully recovered. After that, even if the box office is only tens of thousands, it will not affect it. ”

Although the investor invested 100 million yuan, the boss of the investor recorded 89 million yuan.

The actor pats casually, and may even use a stand-in and a green screen to cut out the picture, and there is also a million in hand, which is easy and pleasant.

And it doesn't have to be so little.

The filming party spent 10 million on filming and production, and then sold 11 million, which is equivalent to the crew making 1 million.

The boss's shell listed company's stock has risen, which means that there is no loss.

It doesn't matter if it doesn't go up.

Anyway, 89 million has already arrived, and it's a big deal to take out a part of the account.

That's still 79 million.

So who is at the loss?

Of course, it is the shareholders of the investor company who lose.

Who cares, though.

In fact, Zhang Cheng knows that these are still in his previous life, because he occasionally came into contact with the entertainment industry because of his work, so he learned some insiders.

Zhou Yitian was stunned.

His face was red and white.

Obviously, he thought of some things that made him wonder when he was filming more than ten years ago.

At the time, he didn't understand what was going on, but now after Zhang Chengyi said it, he understood it all.

No wonder......

It's no wonder that celebrities' salaries are getting more and more outrageous.

Especially the salary of celebrities who have no works but empty traffic can also be so high.

Don't investors know that their traffic is empty?

I used to think that the investor was a fool.

Looking at it now, he is a fool.

Sighing, he was even more disheartened, "You can tell me this, it shows that you are indeed sincere, and I am also very grateful."

"But I still refuse, you can shoot anyone you want, there's no need to look for me. And ......"

He lowered his head and planned to sit back and continue cutting the fish, "And people always have something to insist on, and if they lose it, this person will not be himself." ”

Tang Ying and He Ling next to him were also stunned.

Especially He Ling.

She thinks she is a member of the circle, and she used to know a lot of things as an assistant to Tang Ying's mother.

Their gameplay is that some poorer local TV stations don't have the money to buy fire dramas, but they have to fill the programs, so they will always buy that kind of assembly-line brain-dead drama from them.

After all, many middle-aged and elderly people do love to watch this thing.

This high-end gameplay...... She really didn't know.

Tang Ying was anxious, "Don't! Don't you have a dream in your heart? Do you really want to be a salted fish for the rest of your life? ”

"So what's not? I'm a fish killer, even if I have a dream, I'm just a salted fish with a dream. Zhou Yitian lowered his head and continued to deal with the last fish.

But he was still waiting, he was waiting for Zhang Cheng's idea.

He Ling's face was full of suspicion, she didn't understand why Xiaoying was so optimistic about this fish killer.

And Zhang Cheng, does he really know how to be a director?

No wonder Xiaoying is so interested in this fish-killing guy!

It's not because she's optimistic about this fish killer, but because she trusts Zhang Cheng!

There must be a little secret between the two of them!

Cold, so cold.

He Ling only felt so cold now.

Obviously, there are three people together, but she always feels that there is already a sad thick barrier between Zhang Cheng and Tang Ying and her.

There are two groups of three people, right?

Obviously I came first! It doesn't matter if you know Xiaoying, or if you are an employee in Xingyao......

He Ling emo.

Tang Ying couldn't take care of her at the moment, Xiao Tang was really anxious, more anxious than the anxious king.

A fish-killer who has been killing fish for ten years! Zhang Cheng's crew is in need of such a "talent"!

But she didn't know how to persuade her, so she had to stare at Zhang Cheng with pitiful eyes.

"Mr. Xiao Tang, I know you're in a hurry, but don't worry about it first."

Zhang Cheng patted Xiao Tang's head and asked her to flash aside, it was time to watch his performance.

If you want to suppress this set of thieves he plays, I don't know how many people I have met in my previous life, and in the end, he won't take them down one by one?

Zhou Yitian looked up at Zhang Cheng.

He wanted to know what Zhang Cheng thought.

After all...... The script is really not bad from his perspective ten years ago, and with the awesome storyboard, this movie does have a head.

To tell the truth, his heart, which had been silent for ten years, was indeed moved.

After all, no one really wants to kill a lifetime of fish in a supermarket.

Zhang Cheng didn't hesitate, "I won't do that." ”

What he said was categorical, and the determination in his words made Zhou Yitianxia's eyes widen consciously.

"The reason I say that is because I don't want to be in the same league with them, I want to make good movies that audiences like to watch and slap them in the face! What was lost, we have to get it back with our own hands! ”

He pointed to Tang Ying, whose face was full of excitement, "You may not know the story of our little Tang Zong." ”

Then he gave a general overview of the situation in Tang Ying's house.

Tang Ying's face quickly turned into a circle of confusion with excitement, what does this matter to me?

But seeing Zhang Cheng's look at her and Zhou Yitian's empathetic serious expression, she instantly played!

"What I lost, I'm going to get it back! I'm ......"

After talking about me several times in a row, she blessed her soul and said the words that made her feel very ashamed, "I want to rectify the entertainment industry!" Let it go back to the way it should be! ”

As soon as the words came out, her ears turned red when she brushed them.

What a shame!

But Zhou Yitian was obviously moved.

Now, just wait for Zhang Cheng to give him the final blow.

Zhang Cheng slowly stretched out his hand, his tone was gentle and firm, just like what he said to the desperate village cadres when he was poor in his previous life, "Brother Tian, come with me to smash the current entertainment industry!" ”

Zhou Yitian's lips moved.

The next moment, the middle-aged man just now came out of the back door again.

Seeing that the fish hadn't been killed yet, he scolded, "Zhou Yitian! Do you not want a job anymore? It's been a long time and I haven't finished it! I have to go to the store manager and say that your salary will be deducted! ”

Zhou Yitian glanced at him, threw away the kitchen knife in his hand, and took off the half of the cigarette from his ear.

Keep your head down and put on fire.

The orange spark ignited a splash of scarlet.

Slowly exhaling a smoke ring, he said lightly: "Fuck you, I'm gone." ”

Then he looked at Zhang Cheng.

Zhang Cheng stood in the backlight at the moment, and the halo of the sun seemed to turn him into light.

And this light also dyed Zhou Yitian's godless eyes, which had been gray for ten years, with light.

The tense expression on Zhou Yitian's face suddenly melted, and he stretched out his hand and held it tightly with Zhang Cheng, "I'll join." ”
