Chapter 0477 "Soldier Assault" (Monthly Pass Plus Update 18/37)
The pie "Soldier Assault" is not new.
There was a company that bought the copyright from Lan Xiaolong before, but the elements of the so-called ratings: star lineup, bizarre stories, love between men and women, grand scenes, etc., have nothing to do with this script.
Therefore, the script has been filmed for five years.
The agreement signed by Lan Xiaolong and the other party is that if it cannot be completed within five years, the copyright will automatically expire.
Then it fell into the hands of Zhang Qian of Bayi Studio.
Zhang Qian was in the Bayi Film Studio, and he had exchanges with various departments of the army, so he was very familiar with the situation of the army.
It's a pity that Bayi Studios supports it, but the funds that can be supported are far from enough, and the budget is too far behind.
In the end, I could only turn to Yunnan Tai and Aunt Hua for help.
Yunnan TV said that it would buy it by investing, pay money to support filming, and get the right to broadcast it back.
Aunt Hua paid 8 million to make up for the funding gap.
However, there are unforeseen circumstances, personnel changes in Yunnan and Taiwan, once the son of heaven and a courtier, the negotiated 2 million will not be completed.
And Aunt Hua was also hit hard, and she couldn't allocate money at all for a while.
What's more, Aunt Hua also has to fully support Ma Da Jar to shoot "Night Banquet", in order to calm the turmoil caused by Wang Jinghua and I don't know how many of its artists came out.
Companies need cash flow to attract fresh blood.
The start-up scheduled for August can only be postponed.
However, whether it is producer Zhang Qian, director Kang Honglei, and screenwriter Lan Xiaolong, these three have no intention of giving up.
It's a big deal to wait until next year and wait for Aunt Hua to stabilize.
"Mr. Zhang, I'm Hao Yun!" Hao Yun and the other party made an appointment in a tea room, not far from Liu Heping's secluded creative courtyard.
"This is Lan Xiaolong, this is Kang Honglei." Zhang Qian introduced it to Hao Yun.
Each of the four sat down.
"What happened to the TV series?" Hao Yun didn't beat around the bush and went straight to the point to ask questions.
"In fact, it's still a matter of funds, Aunt Hua can't come up with the money for the time being, and no one will be willing to take over for a while." Zhang Qian is also very sincere, and the business negotiation is not suitable for today's occasion.
"How much worse?" Hao Yun asked.
"The total cost is 12 million, and now the difference is 10 million, which is a bit much, and now I can only do some preliminary preparations......" Zhang Qian continued to confess.
There's really no need to learn how to solicit customers at the train station.
It's just one of you, hurry up and get in the car, get in the car and leave.
Actually, go around and pull one after another, and don't give you the whole overload they don't take away at all.
"Ten million, how many shares?" Hao Yun continued to ask.
"Eighty percent!"
In fact, it should be 83.3% of the share, but the actual share is generally not according to the proportion of capital contribution, and there are many factors involved.
So Hao Yun didn't think it was strange, he thought for a while and said: "Okay, 10 million, 80%, I'll solve this money, and in addition, I want to be the producer of the TV series......"
Zhang Qian, Kang Honglei, and Lan Xiaolong were all a little dumbfounded.
This young man is an upstart in the capital circle, and last night's grand occasion has long been presented to the public through the lens of the media.
Laymen only think that Hao Yun filmed "Those Years", and it is natural to celebrate the achievement.
But insiders understand that this is actually a coronation ceremony given to him by the capital circle, which completely recognizes his ability to direct and do projects.
There will definitely be a lot of capital to support his project in the future.
Therefore, when they heard Wang Shunyu say that Hao Yun cared about the project very much and was interested in participating, they rushed over without even having time to eat breakfast.
Of course, giving money is a good thing, this is a life-saving straw, but the name of the producer is very sad.
Because the producer can't just give it.
Theoretically speaking, the producer is sent by the producer, and there is no representative of the right to interfere with the content - Zhang Jizhong is so strong, in fact, he doesn't really shoot movie shots.
However, the executive producer is the one who specializes in interfering with the content.
Stronger producers can make directors become decorations, such as Xu Ke, "Smiling Proud Jianghu: Undefeated in the East", "New Dragon Gate Inn" and other films, he is the producer.
After his supervision, few people can remember which onion is the director of these two films.
"Don't get me wrong, although I'm also interested in the filming techniques and process, at most it's to learn, my real task is to hype up the TV series, well, I learned a little bit from Mr. Zhang Jizhong, and I always have to apply what I have learned, right."
When Hao Yun said this, he was very calm, as if he was discussing the death fever of thieves in the summer of the capital.
"Zhang Jizhong is really good at speculation...... Zhang Qian smiled bitterly and nodded, he didn't have that ability, if he had that ability, he wouldn't have picked and searched for only 12 million investments.
This year, 12 million is really a small cost.
If you shoot 30 episodes, the production cost of each episode is only 400,000, and the actors' salaries are also counted.
Hao Yun participated in "The First in the World" with a cost of 30 million, and "The Condor Heroes" also cost 30 million.
Because he is good at hype, Zhang Jizhong dares to quote a cost of 30 million for each TV series, and makes all kinds of money in the production process, just because he dares to ask for it and dare to make money.
Each of the TV series he produces can earn at least tens of millions of yuan, and the profit is generally about 30%.
Otherwise, he is so idle that he is desperately hype.
If you can learn to help operate like Zhang Jizhong, it will indeed be easier to sell for money.
"I have no opinion, I am willing to cooperate." Kang Honglei thinks it is appropriate, if the TV series makes money, it will also be good for him as a director, at least the next time he wants to make a drama, there will be a film and television company to throw money immediately.
"We don't have an opinion, this money ......" Zhang Qian and Lan Xiaolong glanced at each other and began to look forward to it.
"Money is not a big problem, 10 million can be received at any time, but I have other conditions."
These words made the three main creators frown.
Do you want to change roles again?
Frankly speaking, there has always been a lot of pressure on the casting of this TV series, Yunnan TV wants to change the role, Aunt Hua wants to change the role, and even Bayi Studio wants to change the role, this new Hao Yun should also want to change it.
Brother, the male number one is all from your family.
"I have a military-themed book here, I recently got the guidance of Mr. Liu Heping, and I have almost written it, I want to ask Mr. Lan Xiaolong to help me take a look at it......" Hao Yun took out A4 paper from his backpack and bound it into a large script.
Compared to the system rewards, it has been modified a lot.
Hao Yun really needs professional help to take a look.
"I won't be able to finish it for a while." Lan Xiaolong took it and read the synopsis of the story first.
He doesn't despise Hao Yun, such a talented screenwriter, he even has to look up to it.
Hao Yun is the winner of the Cannes Best Screenplay Award, and he also wrote "Those Years", which sold 380 million, and the status of film practitioners is indeed higher than that of them TV series practitioners.
"It's okay, you can take it and read it slowly, this script is called "My Regiment Commander, My Regiment", it is related to the expeditionary force, we will discuss it later, my other condition ......"
It turned out that reading the script was not a condition, and the three of them continued to wait for Hao Yun to finish speaking.
"My other condition is that after we finish filming "Soldier Assault", the crew will not be disbanded, and will directly start filming this "Regiment Commander", the two TV series will be filmed together, and the cost can be reduced a lot, and the investment I plan to invest in this regiment commander is 28 million!"
Hao Yun and Liu Heping estimated together that 25 million will definitely be auctioned.
But since "Soldier Assault" is 12 million, the cost of picking and searching is made, then one more point will definitely be able to do better.
But Hao Yun is not good at investing in others after they have done a good job, isn't that a brain pump?
So, he added some budget to the head of the regiment.
It is indeed more cost-effective to shoot the two TV series together, and the equipment, costumes, and even some actors can even be used directly.
Add another three million, and hope to make it even better.
Hao Yun does these two TV series, what he really wants is word of mouth, otherwise he will make more money by concentrating on making movies than this.
Hearing that "Soldier Assault" can rub part of the production cost of this "Regiment Leader", Zhang Qian, Kang Honglei, and Lan Xiaolong agreed almost without hesitation.
