Chapter 495 Suggestions

Well, Shen Xudong doesn't make any moves easily now, he only sells 500,000 yuan for a song!

It’s quite expensive, considered the most expensive in the Mainland…

He only covers lyrics, music and arrangement, not recording or distribution.

But Xudong is famous: the success of Chen Hao and Fan Jiuyi's two albums was all due to a few songs he wrote.

Moreover, Shen Xudong is not someone who has money. If you want him to write songs, it depends on friendship...

Not many people can contact him personally!

But Jingtian...

That's the exception!

Boss Chen insisted on giving money: "I can't let my brother suffer!"

Shen Xudong could only nod in agreement, and then made a friendly suggestion: "Record an EP with three songs. I suggest you find Zhang Qidong as the producer, and then contact Warner to help distribute it... If you want to shoot a MV, I call Ning Hao. Please help with the filming!”

Jing Tian whispered: "Director Ning Hao...will he not like it?"

"He's still paying off his mortgage... I'd definitely be happy to give him a chance to make money!"

Jing Tian was surprised: "Director Ning Hao still wants to pay off the mortgage?"

"Isn't this strange... His child was just born, he bought a small four-bedroom apartment, and the balance has not been paid!"

Boss Chen was also surprised: ""Crazy Stone" has made so much money, why don't you give him a bonus?

You have gone too far, the capitalists who have been hung up from the street lights...

Shen Xudong explained: "Here you go...a bonus of 3 million...but you have to wait for the installments to arrive."

After the movie is released, it usually takes three to six months for the accounts to be distributed to the distributor, and then each of them will divide the accounts...

It’s impossible to screen it here, and the money will be split over there!

"That's it..."

Jing Tian nodded: "Let's shoot MVs for all three songs..."

"Well, do you want him to come over? Or should I contact him and ask him to write a plan..."

"... Just contact me, I have class in the afternoon..."

Shen Xudong changed the subject: "I heard them say that you yearn for the entertainment industry?"

"Well, I think being an actor is very interesting..."

"...Then you should take the acting department exam..."

If it had been anyone else, Shen Xudong would have sarcastically said, "Is it more interesting to be an actor or a star?" Da Tiantian would have forgotten it...

Boss Chen quickly said: "Tiantian will apply for an acting class next year..."

"Oh? China Theater Company or Beijing Film Academy?"

"What do you suggest?"

Shen Xudong thought for a while and then said: "It's all OK, the teacher teaches the same thing... But the freshman and sophomore year of Chinese drama are not allowed to go out to film..."

"why?"

"Strictly speaking, I just don't encourage it. After all, freshman and sophomore courses are very heavy. If you ask for leave to film, you may fail. If you fail too much, you won't be given a diploma..."

"Then why can Nortel do it?"

Shen Xudong: "In principle, it's not possible... but Beijing Film Academy doesn't have such strict requirements... If you want to take the acting department, you'd better find a few teachers to train at a designated location... Try both schools..."

"Um!"

…

After the food was served, Shen Xudong started to eat first, and Boss Chen asked for advice...

Specifically, ‘how to support Tiantian’…

Shen Xudong was very casual: "Start in a TV series first and find a good character..."

"TV series? Why not a movie?"

"There are only a few people who are willing to watch movies... TV series are different..."

In the original time and space, the team of Da Tiantian had a very simple idea. They spent money to hire big stars to make movies. They believed that a big star would attract a lot of attention. Once the attention was high, Da Tiantian would become famous...

This idea seems reasonable, but in fact it is completely wrong. Da Tiantian is not a person like Zhang Ziyi who was born to eat movies. Putting her in a big production not only cannot support the role, but also exposes her lack of acting skills.

In addition, the film selection is not good at all. After a few films, the audience has formed a fixed mindset. Da Tiantian's acting is terrible. Even when they heard about Jing Tian's reputation, their subconscious reaction was that the film was bad.

There is even the unpopular Jing Tianya account...

Boss Chen was a little confused: "TV series?"

"Yes," Shen Xudong suddenly remembered something: "We are about to cooperate with Jackie Chan..."

"Movie?"

"...it's an adaptation of the movie "The Myth" into a TV series...Princess Yushu asked Jing Tian to try it!"

""The Myth" TV series..."

"Director Jiang Jiajun, starring Brother Hu..."

Jing Tian was a little nervous: "Can I?"

"What's wrong with this? Our company is a joint producer and investor, and I'm also one of the producers. What's wrong with wanting a role? Besides, you're so good-looking, so you're perfect for playing a princess!"

"I'm not very good at acting..."

"It's okay... the performance is very simple, but if it doesn't work, I will arrange a teacher on the set to teach you..."

Godfather Chen can support Liu Yifei, but what's wrong with Shen Xudong?

…

Jing Tian went back after eating, while Shen Xudong chatted with Boss Chen about the film foundation alone.

"I have several projects to do, but I don't have enough funds..."

"Tell me specifically."

"'Twilight', a best-selling novel in North America... I got the rights to adapt it, and I plan to film it... I found a special producer and calculated an account, and it cost at least 40 million U.S. dollars..."

Boss Chen made an estimate: "40 million U.S. dollars, converted into RMB...that's 300 million, what else?"

Shen Xudong told the truth: "There are still two drama-type movies with a budget of 8 million to 10 million US dollars...one is called "Juno" and the other is called "The Fault in Our Stars"..."

"...Together, it's almost 150 million...that's 450 million..."

Shen Xudong said helplessly: "It's a bit expensive, but I filmed in the United States..."

Boss Chen interrupted him: "No, I heard them say that your company is cooperating with Xu Ke to develop a series called..."Ghost Blowing the Lamp", isn't it in it?"

""Ghost Blowing the Lantern" was jointly produced by China Film and Shanghai Film Group... and Xiangshan proposed to build a filming base for Ghost Blowing the Lantern... There is no shortage of funds..."

Yes, the "Ghost Blowing Lamp" project has been successfully approved, and Xu Ke is responsible for the first part...

He first met Tian Xia Ba Sing, then Liu Ye, Jiang Wu and Zhang Ziyi, and decided to take over the filming task of the first film.

At a cost of 120 million, Xiangshan Film and Television Base participated to help create the real-life scene of "Ghost Blowing the Lantern"...

At the same time, the TV series version of "The Ancient City" has also been approved at the same time - it is just a project, whether it will be filmed or not depends on the influence of the movie.

Boss Chen understood: "So, the private equity fund you established is actually used to invest in Hollywood movies?"

"right…"

"Then how can you be so confident in giving an annualized return of 15%?"

"...I plan to make a "Juno" first and let everyone see the market returns, and then..."

Shen Xudong is going to talk about his plan in detail. After all, it's several hundred million... not a few hundred yuan. When people pay, you have to explain it clearly!

Boss Chen waved his hand: "Okay, five hundred million... I will pay 300 million, and I will let my friend take the remaining 200 million..."

"...Probability-wise...what?"

Shen Xudong was still talking about popular science, but Boss Chen had already made a decision: "Let me tell you, the prospects of any project are predictions. I've heard enough for a long time. Someone asked me to do real estate before and persuaded me to build a website. That's what I said It's so clear-cut that I don't even bother to listen. When I do business, I only have one principle: looking at people, I think you can do it!"
