Chapter 61 Courage (Part 1) (1/5)
Investing in a movie is not difficult, just have money!
However, the purpose of investment is to make profits, and it is impossible to invest in all projects.
There must be some preliminary investigation.
To understand the profit and loss prospects of the project, at least it depends on the cast lineup and director.
The three of them went to find Cai Yinong...
Lao Cai is okay in TV, but he is completely messed up in movies. "The Spring Breeze of Merlong Town", "Suspicious", "Beautiful Mantening", and "The Beautiful Mantening", there is no one that sells the top...
Reputation is not good either!
She simply focused on making TV. Later, Li Yiping took over Tang Ren, so she retreated to the second line and worked as an artist agent.
"I don't understand the market very much, but I can call Song Hang and ask him to give you some advice."
Through the phone, after listening to the whole story, Song Hang analyzed: "Hong Kong-style martial arts films are in decline. Bona, who is closest to the Hong Kong circle, dare not do martial arts casually. "Die Renjie" is selling less than 200 million yuan, which means that the market is not very willing to eat martial arts!"
"Then why do you need to do the light?"
"They don't have any good choices. They are different from us. We provide projects by the company, and then we find directors to direct them. They are directors who bring their own projects and find producers to invest. Chen Jiashang wants to film "The Four Famous Captains". Light wants to cooperate with him, so he invested..."
After a pause, Song Hang continued: "I heard that because of the listing of Light, the supervisor in charge of the film project seemed to be leaving... It was very chaotic inside!"
There is no nonsense, it is true. Light was first listed and did not think about its Light Movie, but the Securities Regulatory Bureau hopes that Light Movie will be listed as a whole!
As the founder and person in charge of Light Film, Zhang Zhao definitely does not want the business he is in charge to become a part of the whole.
The specific situation is not clear. Anyway, Zhang Zhao later joined LeTV.
It was only at this time that Wang Changtian began to come out to take the helm of Light Film himself!
"Generally speaking, when internal chaos is in the face of projects born, we are not optimistic about the projects that are born..."
Song Hang's summary speech.
Before Liu Shishi asked a question, Song Hang added: "And our company has enough projects, so there is no need to focus on the things on their plate."
"What do you think of the profit prospects of this project?"
"I can't say it right. After all, I haven't seen the script. However, based on the director's consistent performance, I think it's not a big problem to have around 150 million. If there are no strong opponents in the same period, there might be more than 180 million..."
"Thank you Lao Song, I'll treat you to a meal when I have time!"
"I didn't help..."
After hanging up the phone, Cai Yinong: "You understand."
Yang Xiaomi shook her head and asked in confusion: "He didn't say whether we could invest..."
"This is not clear enough. What he means is 'I don't think it's good, I don't recommend it!"
“… Didn’t he say 180 million?”
"The cost is 60 million, 180 million yuan, which is also called investing in movies? Our company's projects cost more than 30 million yuan, and the minimum box office is 300 million yuan!"
...
"If an actor wants to become famous, he must be supported by a financial supporter."
This is the case in the late Qing Dynasty and the Republic of China, and it has not yet been outdated.
If you want to become famous or become famous, first of all, you need to get resources and have big financial supporters who are willing to spend money to support you.
As long as the money is in place and the resources are fully allocated, even if you have never acted in a show, they can tailor the scripts and characters for you.
In this industry, the general practitioners lack cultural education, low vision, and chaotic management. They are not a basic industry that concerns the national economy and people's livelihood, so there are no transparent rules!
Of course, if you want to go to the next level, you need an opportunity - you have to be a piece of material.
Jiang Yiyan thought she was a piece of uncensored jade, so with the support of the cake shop owner, the resources soared...
From 2000 to 2008, as an actor, Jiang Architect had only 3 movies and 6 TV series, and most of them were soy sauce characters.
After 2009, the Rockets climbed. In 2009 alone, they took on four movies and one TV series, including "Nanjing! Nanjing!".
The actors they collaborated also began to jump to the front line of Hong Kong, Macao and Taiwan, among which there are many actors and actresses: Liu Qingyun, Zhang Jiahui, Aaron Kwok, Huang Bo, Chen Kun…
It was a smooth journey on the road to collecting philatelics!
Unfortunately, the cake shop owner is only a billion-level funder. When the Internet giants enter the market, this amount of funds is not enough.
20 million funding group...
My big Tiantian took 30 million, and the unit was a knife!
But in Yang Xiaomi's opinion, it is quite high, especially when she finds out that "Four Famous Captains" is preparing for three consecutive films, with an investment of nearly 200 million yuan...
What is the 30% capital?
60 million...
Can't take it out...
Yang Xiaomi's current pay for filming a TV series is about 8 million yuan, and the pay for films is a little lower, about 1.5 million yuan, commercial endorsement, activities...
Anyway, my annual income is less than 20 million;
Liu Shishi is a little less than her, and she became popular at the end of last year, so she made even less...
Although they didn't spend much money, their basic expenses were not small, and each person needed to maintain at least three houses.
As for Tang Yan…
That's a person who has no money too!
So, after Liu Shishi said 13 million, Yang Xiaomi was surprised.
Because... the company doesn't have that much money...
What should I do?
Find someone to borrow!
...
Shen Mengxi is communicating with Meng Xiaojing, which is an exclusive interview.
During this period, there has been a lot of news surrounding him:
"Hunting" was shortlisted for the Cannes main competition unit. His previous film "Manchester by the Sea" won the jury award. Can this year's "Hunting" go a step further?
"The Great Wall", what kind of movie can be named "The Great Wall"?
Matt Dai Meng and Da Tiantian are obviously not worth it to fight monsters in the Great Wall!
As a Chinese, the Great Wall represents the intelligence and indomitable qualities of the Chinese nation, and also represents the unity and determination of the Chinese nation to resist foreign enemies!
Therefore, the Volunteer March has the sentence "Build our new Great Wall"...
"The movie "Hunting" is quite simple. It is a story about a good person being wronged. How did the dazzling force a person to death... To put it online: When an avalanche, no snowflake is innocent!"
"I think there is a chance to get the Palme d'Or this year... because the chairman of the jury this year is Robert De Niro. He should have a lot of ideas about movies like "Hunting", but it also depends on whether there are strong opponents."
"opponent?"
"Yes, I heard from our photographer Emmanur Lubezki that "The Tree of Life", a counter-narrative that relies solely on images to tell the film's work, I'm looking forward to..."
After a pause, Chen Mengxi continued: "Also, I'm worried that Leonardo performed too well, won the Best Actor, and then my Palme drank!"
"Haha, I wish you success."
"Thanks…"
"What about the Great Wall?"
"The project started out as a monster movie, but it was located in the Great Wall, so they were going to name it after "The Great Wall"... The whole story is similar to "Mummy 3". Foreigners come to China to help the Chinese people fight monsters, and by the way, they will get out of the sheets with Chinese actresses!"
