Chapter 331 Small cost
Qiao Shengtian's first reaction was small production. Today, when the domestic film production costs are hundreds of millions, the investment is too small. In fact, Zhang Hehuan said too much. He had estimated the cost before, which was at most 20 million. How much can a youth romance film cost?
Qiao Shengtian said: "Brother Hua has invested heavily, and he may not be interested in low-cost movies." His brother-in-law Xue Chunhua has been having a hot fight with Ling Tiantian recently and is determined to make Ling Tiantian famous. For example, Xu Ke's "A Chinese Ghost Story", he followed up with 50 million yuan, and Ling Tiantian can be regarded as a way to bring funds into the group.
Zhang Hehuan said: "I don't plan to ask for outsiders' investment in this movie, so the wealth will not flow to outsiders' fields."
Qiao Shengnan listened, and couldn't help laughing when he heard this.
Zhang Hehuan looked at her with some dissatisfaction and said, "You are just laughing, you are a layman, don't you see me discussing business with your brother?"
Qiao Shengtian smiled and said, "Sing Nan can hear it. You kid want to fool me."
Zhang Hehuan said: "Okay, if you really think so, I won't be chatting anymore. Let's have a drink."
Qiao Shengtian picked up the wine glass, Qiao Shengnan said, "Brother, stop drinking, I'll drink it with him for you."
Zhang Hehuan said: "Aren't you driving?"
"It's okay, the car is thrown here, come and drive tomorrow, and go back to take your car back."
Zhang Hehuan said to Qiao Shengtian: "Did you see it? You have to rely on your own sister at critical moments."
Qiao Shengtian smiled and said, "That's right, after all, he is a compatriot."
Qiao Shengnan and Zhang Hehuan had two drinks in a row.
Qiao Shengtian was quite a leader in drinking, so he picked up the wine glass and tasted it casually.
Zhang Hehuan asked about the broadcasting rights of "The Legend of Qin", and Qiao Shengtian told him that four satellite TV stations had already agreed to have a preliminary four-star broadcast.
Zhang Hehuan secretly admired that Qiao Shengtian would not take action, but he would be a king. If Lao Sun knew about the four-star broadcast, he still didn't know what to do. Zhang Hehuan remembered that Qiao Shengtian said that a satellite TV station planned to sell 60 million yuan, but wouldn't it be 240 million yuan for four satellite TV stations?
"Mr. Qiao, how much did you sell the broadcast rights of satellite TV in total?"
Qiao Shengtian picked up the wine glass and signaled to have a drink with him. Zhang Hehuan drank the wine. He just wet his lips. If it were someone else, Zhang Hehuan would definitely accuse the other party of raising fish, but he dared not to Qiao Shengtian, after all, he had something to ask for.
Qiao Shengtian said: "It doesn't matter how much you sell it. Your TV station got 140 million yuan. That's fine. I can only tell you that I've earned no less than you."
Zhang Hehuan had to convince him. This was not a business ability at all. Qiao Shengtian was just a relationship. When doing business in China, no matter how easy it is to use your mind, you will be able to compete with the relationship network.
Qiao Shengtian said: "Who starred in your movie?"
Zhang Hehuan said: "In a small-budget movie, there are few actors, mainly one man and one woman, the heroine is An Ran, the hero..." He chuckled.
Qiao Shengnan looked at him in shock: "Can't the male protagonist be you?"
Zhang Hehuan nodded and said, "It's me."
Qiao Shengtian said: "Stop talking, I won't vote for this movie."
Qiao Shengnan said: "An Ran has good acting skills, she is still a Mu girl."
Qiao Shengtian said: "All newcomers, the investment is 50 million yuan? Who are you confused? I guess your total investment in this movie will not exceed 10 million yuan."
Zhang Hehuan said: "The cost of filming is not low now, including 50 million yuan in promotion and distribution costs. I also plan to shoot the entire movie in Seoul."
Qiao Shengtian smiled and said, "The land of China still can't shoot you anymore. I have to go to Kanzi Country. What's there to shoot in Seoul? I see you are not shooting movies, but MVs. It would be strange if you don't lose your money."
Zhang Hehuan said: "Mr. Qiao, you curse me before I took a photo. Isn't it a bit unfavorable?"
Qiao Shengnan said, "That's right, brother, why are you talking? Zhang Hehuan, why don't you do this, I'll vote."
Zhang Hehuan glanced at her: "Do you have money?" Actually, I understood in my heart that Qiao Shengnan had no money, and the brother next to her was rich.
Qiao Shengnan said: "Brother!"
Qiao Shengtian was really amused and crying. This sister was too direct. He shook his head. The scene of the sister throwing out five million at the charity dinner last time was still vivid in my mind. He really treated your brother's money as waste paper.
Qiao Shengnan said: "I have 500,000 yuan in deposits and invest in your new movie."
Zhang Hehuan said: "That is, we are friends, I really don't have fun with others. I'm better than men. I agree to your investment of 500,000 yuan."
Qiao Shengtian sighed and said, "Zhang Hehuan, Zhang Hehuan, I found that you are really shameless. You can make Shengnan invest in you and ask you for it. Just like you are a broken movie, how can you sell your selling points?"
Zhang Hehuan said to Qiao Shengnan: "I will give you the official contract in two days. I will try my best to reduce the cost of the movie and strive to control it to 20 million. I estimate that the box office will be at least one billion."
Qiao Shengtian curled his lips. This guy is really brave enough to lie to my sister in front of me. Now he cheats money. He will not be able to cheat sex in a while. This guy is so brave.
Qiao Shengnan said: "Can the box office be so high?"
"I just estimate the domestic box office, but I'm a little conservative. I estimate that the box office abroad in Shanghai is at least 1.5 billion."
Qiao Shengtian said: "If you invest 20 million yuan, you can get the money back if you have a box office of 70 million yuan. With the remaining 1.43 billion yuan, you can get at least 700 million yuan in profits. As far as I know, the highest box office in China is "Tao Hui", which seems to be less than 1.3 billion yuan." The purpose of his words was to wake up his sister and not be deceived by this guy with a lotus tongue.
Qiao Shengnan said: "So it's so profitable to make movies. Then I'll invest more, I'll invest five million."
Qiao Shengtian looked at her sister in a daze. How could she get five million? She must have paid the money by herself, and she didn't even read the script. After hearing Zhang Hehuan's trick, she was willing to spend five million to invest in the movie. Qiao Shengtian couldn't help but reminded: "Shengnan, you are a policeman, you don't have this vigilance? You are a fraudster in front of you, he is cheating!"
Qiao Shengnan smiled and said, "Any investment is risky, but I don't think he will cheat me."
Zhang Hehuan said: "You invest five million a lot. How much does it cost to get points at that time?"
Qiao Shengnan said: "The more you earn, the better. Then I will buy my own bag."
Qiao Shengtian said: "Don't sing and reunite, Zhang Hehuan, don't you want to invest? I'll invest 10 million, better than a man and five million, I'll make it clear to me about your account, don't miss me."
Zhang Hehuan laughed and said, "Mr. Qiao, this move is not as bold as yours."
Qiao Shengtian said: "I know it's a trick, but I'm not stupid, am I stupid?" He is not stupid. He always feels that Zhang Hehuan has turned into magical power, and may be able to create miracles? What really touched him was what Zhang Hehuan said about box office expectations just now. If he really made a big box office sales and if he doesn't invest, he will not regret death. Qiao Shengtian is a person who likes to take risks in his bones.
Zhang Hehuan said: "Mr. Qiao, this movie is still in preparation period, and I plan to be in the Valentine's Day schedule next year."
Qiao Shengtian calculated that it was less than ten months from the establishment of the project to the release, and it was not long since he tasted the sweetness in "The Legend of Qin", and he began to become interested in the entertainment industry.
Qiao Shengtian said: "In fact, investment is easy to solve. Do you want me to tell Brother Hua?"
Zhang Hehuan shook his head. Qiao Shengtian meant to pull his brother-in-law Xue Chunhua into the game. Xue Chunhua is rich and powerful, but if he joins, the actor he is promoting must be Ling Tiantian. Capital is a double-edged sword. It can hold a movie or easily destroy a movie.
Zhang Hehuan decided to take the low-cost route in the movie "My Savage Girlfriend" and didn't need much investment at all. Even if Qiao Shengtian didn't invest, he had a way to invest.
But Zhang Hehuan couldn't say it too clearly: "Mr. Qiao, if you want to make others invest, you must first prove yourself. I want to use a small-cost movie to prove your ability."
Qiao Shengtian understood that Zhang Hehuan did not want to be interfered too much by Xue Chunhua. He knew his brother-in-law very well. As long as Xue Chunhua invested, he would definitely find ways to make Ling Tiantian the protagonist. He had invested in "A Chinese Ghost Story" and had tried to let Ling Tiantian replace Wen Yongshi, but he gave up because of Xu Ke's persistence. However, Xu Ke also agreed to let Ling Tiantian play the heroine in "Taking Tiger Mountain with Strategy".
Qiao Shengtian believes that Xu Ke is also perfunctory. "Taking Tiger Mountain by Strategy" is a man's drama, and the heroine will not be outstanding either.
Qiao Shengtian said: "But no matter how I look at your movie lineup, you don't have any selling points except for a so-called Mu Girl."
Zhang Hehuan said: "It is only the early stage. The artistic director of Xinxingyuan is Xu Ke, the great director. I can invite him to come and be the producer."
Qiao Shengtian nodded and said, "Selling dog meat with sheep's head."
Qiao Shengnan smiled and said, "What words are not good for you to say like this."
Zhang Hehuan said: "Is Shengnan interested in changing careers and becoming an actor?"
Qiao Shengnan quickly shook his head: "You spare me, I invested five million this time, just don't let me lose money."
Zhang Hehuan said: "Don't worry, when this movie is released, you will have enough money to buy a bag of money in your life."
Zhang Jiacheng was a little depressed this day. He heard that his youngest daughter was reviewing at school, so he didn't dare to disturb her and went to the eldest daughter's shop in Wanda Jin Street. As a result, Zhang Hexin didn't give him a good look and didn't even say anything to him.
Zhang Jiacheng left in shame. Although he knew Liu Yunsi’s current address, he did not dare to go there. He must have been embarrassed by his past.
When Zhang Hehuan came over in the evening, he saw his father sitting alone in the room watching TV and said strangely: "What? I haven't gone out for a whole day?"
Zhang Jiacheng sighed and told him about his experience on the day. Zhang Hehuan said, "We have to give them some time to accept it. Not everyone can be as magnanimous as me, and will not blame you for the mistakes you have made in the past."
