All those who do film and television want to make movies!

Dongyang Qingyu is no exception.

After all, compared to TV series, movies are more prominent and easier to set off the company's signature.

But, the risk is very high!

In the original time and space, after Dongyang Qingyu made a big hit in "Landing", he participated in a movie, "Spreading" and starring Mr. Ge.

Released in 2009...

At that time, Mr. Ge was in full swing!

However, the movie is too shit, and Mr. Ge couldn't save it...

In the end, "The Breathless" cost more than 30 million yuan, the box office was only about 40 million yuan. Fortunately, Dongyang Qingyu never dared to enter the film industry again...

However, Zhang Hongzhen definitely had the idea of ​​investing in movies at this time!

Jiang Wei has read the script of "Border Storm" and he must have mentioned it to Zhang Hongzhen...

...

There were only two left in the rest period, Zhang Hongzhen and Lu Xiaoran, and the others went to film...

“The script is good.”

Zhang Hongzhen put down the notebook in his hand and made a long talk: "When are you going to take a photo?"

Lu Xiaoran said: "I calculated it, and the preliminary landscape survey and intensification team preparations will take three to five months, officially shooting for two months, and will be released at the end of the year or early next year..."

Zhang Hongzhen asked again: "Sun Honglei is sure to join?"

"right."

"Then you are inviting Teacher Feng..."

"Help hold the show, it's only three days!"

"…There is no big problem, Teacher Feng shouldn't refuse."

"That's good…"

Zhang Hongzhen pointed to the actors' choice of the script and said, "I see, your actors' choices are all mainland actors?"

"I don't have money to hire Hong Kong and Taiwan actors... and I always feel that the temperament of this drama is not suitable for Hong Kong and Taiwan actors."

This sentence is pure nonsense...

If you want to talk about a pure historical drama, mixed with a few Hong Kong and Taiwan actors, you can see Huang Qiusheng in "The Secret History of Yang Guifei", how awkward it is...

But if a purely criminal theme like "Border Storm", if you can form Huang Qiusheng + Wu Zhenyu + Liang Jiahui and Xie Tingfeng's lineup...

I am definitely sure to sell more than 70 million...

I can only think about these actors. The minimum pay is 3 million. Lu Xiaoran’s total cost must be controlled at around 5 million for "Border Storm"...

Zhang Hongzhen refused to comment and then asked: "Then how much do you think this movie can have a box office?"

"I have thought about this," Lu Xiaoran said seriously: "The theme of "Border Storm" is a criminal film, and the overall story is serious. In the current market environment, works with such themes are actually not very easy to sell. I think it is only 10 million at most. If you do a better job in publicity, you may be able to sell more... but it should not exceed 30 million in "Stone"..."

Zhang Hongzhen was decisively interested: "So, you said that the cost must be kept below five million?"

"Yes, otherwise it will be difficult to make a profit!" Lu Xiaoran smiled bitterly: "I can't make a profit. If I want to shoot another work, it will be difficult!"

Zhang Hong nodded and was about to continue speaking, Lu Xiaoran said, "Producer Zhang, I have a shooting plan, why don't you check it out?"

“Photography plan?”

"It's every expense, such as actor cost, staff cost, equipment rental cost..."

Zhang Hongzhen took the plan, opened it and looked at it, and asked, "What? Do you still pay Cao Binkun and the others?"

"... Of course, they have to give it to me. They are for my sake, but if the movie makes money, it is for the investors to make money, and of course the investors will also be responsible for the compensation!"

Including Sun Honglei's pay, he offered 800,000 yuan...

The price of Lao Cao, Chuanfeng and Feng Enhe is 30,000 yuan per person, which is definitely in line with the market price.

Boge's salary is 200,000...

The starring lineup is just that dentist...

This drama is not his investment, so why should he use his connections to save money?

The investor's money is not his money.

Lu Xiaoran himself, "Border Storm" rewards, two sets of plans, one is that he directly gets 200,000 yuan for director and starring, the screenwriter's cost and box office have nothing to do with him, and the other is that the rewards are converted into production costs. Brother Gou said that he would share the account with 10% of the box office...

He wanted to choose the first plan, but he wanted to gamble. What if "Border Storm" hits the box office?

Zhang Hongzhen smiled and did not express his opinion...

"That's what I think. Even if I can't recover the cost through the box office, the movie channel plus the video copyright should be enough to make a comeback. After all, it's a small fuss..."

"Yes, how much money are you short of?"

"The funds... are not short of money, Li Ming is still very trustworthy, and China Film will invest 1 million..."

"What do you mean?"

"…I'm honestly, I just want to attract more investors. After all, I'm a novice. The more investors, the more I have the greater my say!"

Zhang Hongzhen smiled: "You boy..."

Lu Xiaoran’s meaning is obvious. Investment is OK, don’t overstep your authority to direct the crew…

The more investors, the more power the director has…

"Don't worry, even if I don't invest, I believe other investors will not pass you to command the crew!"

"hey-hey…"

...

In the capital, Zhang Guoli received an invitation from his old friend Han Shanping, saying that he would show him a script.

He and Han Sanping have had decades of friendship...

Zhang Guoli put down what he had at hand, rushed to Zhongying, and pushed Han Sanping's office away, the latter: "Here, come on, look, "Crazy Racing", Ning Hao's new project!"

"Ning Hao? Director of "Stone"? Then I have to take a good look!"

"Stone" is a big hit, and Ning Hao is waiting for his second movie in the circle...

Zhang Guoli took the script, browsed it quickly, then put down the notebook, and sighed: "Sometimes I really doubt whether I can't keep up with the times. If I give it to me such a notebook, I won't even shoot it!"

"…Ning Hao is different from ordinary directors. He is doing commercial films!"

""601" is also a commercial film!"

"…hey-hey…"

Hanshanping has no reviews…

"The 601st Phone", Zhang Guoli was very confident and wanted to show her face in the movie circle, but she didn't expect to reveal her butt...

The box office and reputation lost both sides, which made Zhang Guoli very depressed!

"How much does this film cost?"

“15 million!”

"Okay, how about I pay 2 million?"

"Just wait for your words!"

Han Shanping got up and made a cup of tea for him. Zhang Guoli picked up the tea cup, took a sip, and asked, "...Do you have a script suitable for me? I have almost forgotten that I can play other roles in the past few years!"

“For you?”

Han Shanping thought for a while, then nodded: "There is really one!"

"Don't fool me with the movies arranged above!"

Zhang Guoli is a little suspicious...

He is the one who almost rejected even "The Founding of a Country"!

"...For you, this is a newcomer's script, Ning Hao serves as the producer..."

"Let me take a look... "Border Storm", Lu Xiaoran...new director?"
Chapter completed!
