Chapter 64: The Four-Dimensional Lion
Looking at Simon Xiong's proud appearance, if you don't say it, don't say it, you can probably guess it.
Later, Chen Jin really told Su Changqing that she heard that Ximen Xiong gave the talented man 3,000 yuan, bought out three scripts at one time, and wrote receipts.
The big money in this era likes to carry 18,000 cash with them, "swish" to count the money and then throw "you dot", the action is very handsome.
Su Changqing was a little uncomfortable.
The talented man obviously did not overestimate his talent, but overestimated Su Changqing's financial resources, and did not know that Siwei was actually in debt, and at present, he only had the ability to give him soy milk fritters for nothing.
Ding Jialuo further said the request: "It's best to be a romantic comedy, now everyone is under a lot of pressure, either laugh or be scared, you can relax, we can't make horror movies, then there is only comedy." ”
Filming horror movies in places where you can't be haunted and goblins is asking for trouble, and it's usually difficult to even justify the plot, while thrillers are too brain-burning and have always been niche.
Since the customer customizes the romantic comedy, Su Changqing has a ready-made one: "I have a story idea, which should meet your requirements, it was originally intended to be filmed for yourself, and since you are in a hurry, you can cut your love." ”
In fact, he doesn't like to make romance movies, it's difficult to grasp that kind of emotion, and he can't make sincerity, and it's best to sell this kind of theme.
Ding Jialuo trusted Shu Changqing's level very much, and of course he was very interested: "What kind of plot?"
"This is a love story that happened in Beijing.,The male protagonist is a college student who doesn't do things very well.,One day I met a drunk beautiful girl in the subway.,I don't know if this girl has suicidal tendencies.,Anyway, I almost fell off the track.,Pulled by him.。
Then he took her to a small hotel to sober up, and then there were many misunderstandings, and the girl found out that he looked very much like her dead ex-boyfriend, so she entangled him, and many warm and funny stories happened during the period.
The girl likes to write scripts, but the level is terrible, and the two have gone through some things but have not been able to get together.
A year later, the male protagonist graduated, and the story of the two was written into a script and made into a movie that was a great success, and then met the girl again at the blind date dinner arranged by his mother and aunt, only to know that she was the girlfriend of his cousin who died unexpectedly, so he became a pick-up man and walked together. ”
In the end, Su Changqing added the most critical point: "The girl has violent tendencies, and she will slap the male protagonist if she doesn't agree with her." ”
Ding Jialuo was stunned: "This girl beats someone?"
"Hit people, beat people very hard. ”
Su Changqing still remembers the classic line: "If she hits you, you must pretend that it hurts, and if it really hurts, then you must pretend that it is fine." ”
"Do you have a name for this story?"
"My sassy girlfriend. ”
Su Changqing feels a little sorry for the big stick nation, "My Sassy Girlfriend" is known as the most influential commercial romance movie in Asia in the 21st century, without this movie, their cultural rise may have to be postponed for ten or eight years.
Although the story of this film could not impress Western audiences, it was a big hit in East and Southeast Asia, and it also entered the cross-strait three places that year, causing a cultural sensation, and later the film and television industry generally regarded it as the beginning of the big stick film century.
Later, the mainland also bought the copyright to remake it, because the screenwriter modified too many details without authorization, and finally failed, and the box office reputation failed.
Ding Jialuo was a little confused: "This plot sounds quite novel, it's just a romantic drama that beats people at every turn, do you think it can work?"
"Definitely, it's not a sprinkling and a frenzy, people beat it with a sense of good-looking and joy, and the whole story is full of laughter and tears, but in the end it is very healing. ”
The shooting cost of this film is not high, there are no big scenes, it is a small-budget production, and three million can be shot exquisitely.
Su Changqing has converted that investing in this movie with the current ticket price and market size should be able to net 20 million to 25 million.
In Shangyanshang, he needs to collect a sum of money as soon as possible to maintain the operation of Jingge and the video agency.
Since it is expected to make money, of course, it is best to shoot it yourself, and the income of 20 million is the real fragrance.
However, film shooting takes a cycle, from getting the script to finally receiving the box office share, and Jingge needs to cooperate with the popularity of "Model Team" to go public, and he can't wait for him to make money before starting, and the funds and loans are tilted over.
At present, the best way is to sell the project, get the money immediately, and revitalize the flow of the 4D stream.
Ding Jialuo didn't dare to question Su Changqing's vision and ability, he was no longer the one he was last year, and she might not be able to get off the stage anytime and anywhere: "How do you say we can cooperate?"
She needs Tianyan to start again immediately, and if she wants to achieve her goal, she has to keep moving forward, and standing still makes people anxious.
"I am in charge of the screenwriter, the chief planner, Du Keke continues to direct, and I also set the rest of the production team, the shooting cost should be within three million, but my commission is 10 million, and it will arrive as soon as the contract is signed. ”
Su Changqing's lion opened his mouth widely, and there was no doubt that his face did not change.
This is borrowing chickens to lay eggs, day performance funds, he comes out of his brain, makes a steady profit without losing money, and is basically a fifty-five account.
Su Changqing never did business with friends, or even cooperated, but has changed a lot since he was reborn, at least he has cooperated with Du Keke for a while.
But he still insisted on not doing business with friends, and Ding Jialuo was not a friend, just a business partner.
The offer of 10 million is obviously too much beyond the market, which is also Ding Jialuo's own fault, if she doesn't do anything about Hu Ji, with Su Changqing's character, she may be less important.
This amount may exceed Ding Jialuo's expectations, but she was only slightly stunned, after all, those who dared to blindly invest 10 million last year have no reason to hesitate to invest 13 million now.
It's just that this investment allocation is too tilted, and the vast majority of it is invested in Su Changqing, and the production cost is only a fraction.
"Director Su is really so sure about "My Sassy Girlfriend"?"
"If you fail, the commission will be refunded in half. ”
This trick was learned from later training institutions, and it was guaranteed that you could be admitted to high school and university, and half of the tuition fee would be refunded if you couldn't pass the exam.
With Su Changqing's current reputation, it is impossible to sell it for five million, and the possibility of fooling Tianyan is zero.
Ding Jialuo and Ximen Xiong glanced at each other, and wanted to say that they would go back and think about it, it seemed that they were not asking for a price, and they were worried that Su Changqing would change his hexagram, anyway, he was never a reserved person, so it didn't matter: "Okay, Director Su will write the book as soon as possible, Tianyan has no script reserves, and he can't continue to stop work." ”
This is also a big deal for her, and she should know how to run a studio in the future.
Ximen Xiong couldn't help but interject at this time: "My savage girlfriend, your show won't be tailor-made for Hu Ji again, right?"
Su Changqing didn't want to explain that Hu Ji was not his girlfriend, so he hesitated for a moment and said: "I think Hu Ji has a cold temperament, which is not necessarily suitable for this role." ”
The heroine of this play is brutal and willful, and there is no lack of innocence, although she is violent, she is cute, and the image of Hu Ji is a little serious, which is really not suitable.
Seeing that both of them were a little stunned, Su Changqing reminded: "In business, you must not only have a script reserve, but also discover more actors, and it is impossible for all the scenes to be performed by Hu Ji alone in the future." ”
Before Tianyan praised Hu Ji, Ding Jialuo didn't want to change people: "Can you adjust the setting to make this movie suitable for Hu Ji?"
It is more cost-effective to continue to build Hu Ji in terms of cost, and if you want to praise it, you can hold it to the end, not to mention that she is currently popular.
Su Changqing shook his head: "Find a more suitable person, forcing Hu Ji to play an inappropriate role is equivalent to squeezing her value, which will eventually ruin her." ”
