551 Bought the film rights

Chen Yao watched this movie called "Mysterious Journey" from beginning to end. He guessed that the cost of shooting and production of the movie should not be very high. If possible, buy the copyright of the movie.

Director Li Chenguang responded to him: "There are no big-name stars in the movie, they are all not very famous actors, and the production cost is not high. The investors only spent 30 million."

In other words, it's just a movie made at a low cost.

After careful consideration, Chen Yao said quickly: "I want to meet investors and buy the copyright of this movie."

Li Chenguang was surprised. What is the difference between this and gambling?!

"Mysterious Journey" is now not even released. Even if it is revised and passed the review and release, it may not necessarily recover the cost.

I really don't understand why he still bought this bad movie?

Li Chenguang really didn't understand: "Why?"

"It's hard to explain it to you for a while, please contact him."

Half an hour later, Luyin Pavilion Cafe.

Chen Yao drove his Zhanlong car into the parking lot, and then activated the automatic parking space search function. Soon, the car automatically identified the empty space and drove in automatically.

It happened that a convertible Audi car came and saw Chen Yao grab the parking space first. The driver said dissatisfied: "I finally found the parking space, who the hell robbed me?"

He looked very unhappy and pulled the car out.

Chen Yao was speechless, what quality is it? Whoever grabbed your parking space? You are obviously slow.

Pushing open the glass door of the cafe, an air conditioning wind blew towards him, and Li Chenguang took him upstairs.

Because there were some very important things to talk about, I opened a private room, pushed it away and walked in, and Chen Yao sat down in the seat in front of the window.

I called the waiter to send a cup of cappuccino and chatted with the director while waiting for the investors to arrive.

After waiting for a little 10 minutes, a young man in a blue suit and gray trousers came in from outside.

Li Chenguang immediately stood up and introduced: "This is the investor of "Mysterious Journey", Mr. Pan Lunbei."

Chen Yao looked up at him and felt so familiar. Isn’t it the one who just cursed in the parking lot?

The first impression is extremely bad. It is not surprising that such a character makes the movie like this.

"You are Chen Yao?" Pan Lunbei sat down opposite him and looked over with a smile.

Chen Yao said in a calm tone: "Yes. I want to talk to you about the movie "Mysterious Journey".

We are both businessmen, so talking about movies is naturally based on a business perspective.

Pan Lunbei called the waiter to drink a cup of Blue Mountain on the ground: "The movie "Mysterious Journey" needs to be re-edited before it can pass the review, but...

This will lead to a significant reduction in the quality of the film and will not be able to reach the box office.

Is there any way to save your company's special effects?"

The actors in many Hollywood movies are very bad at acting, plot, etc., and even after watching it, it makes people feel confused?

But its special effects are indeed done well, and it can also increase popularity by relying solely on special effects.

"Mysterious Journey" has a lot of room for improvement in special effects, but the problem is that Pan Lunbei doesn't want to invest too much money in special effects, it's really a risk.

Chen Yao said: "It cannot be 100% guaranteed, I can only say that I can try it."

"How much does it cost to make the movie special effects like "The Wandering Survival"?"

Pan Lunbei has played a game produced by Legend Track. The pictures are realistic, the details are rich, and the renderings are perfect. It is precisely because of this that he found Chen Yao and asked his company's team to do movie special effects.

Chen Yao took a sip of coffee: "It depends on how many minutes of special effects your movie will take?"

Pan Lunbei is just an investor. He has made a huge mistake by repeatedly modifying the script in "Mysterious Journey".

Now, he honestly asked the director for his opinion.

Li Chenguang thought for a while and said, "It will take at least 40 minutes."

Chen Yao offered the offer: "10,000 per second."

Movie special effects are money-burning things, they are calculated in seconds. Don’t underestimate that second. It often takes a team dozens of hours to complete.

Labor costs, time costs, machine costs, and if the director is not satisfied, the cost must be modified.

Pan Lunbei calculated that it costs 10,000 yuan per second, 600,000 yuan per minute, and 24 million yuan in 40 minutes!

Even though he was not short of money, he was shocked by this special effect fee.

Looking at his expression, Chen Yao smiled and said, "This price is already low. If you look for a Hollywood special effects company and achieve our effect, it will cost at least 80 million."

Pan Lunbei would not doubt this, but the problem is that 24 million is not a small amount.

The key is that this is a movie that is on the verge of death. Is it worth it to save so much money?

Pan Lunbei said: "To be honest, my budget is within 10 million, and the risk of excessive investment is too high."

"If you are reluctant to spend money, you will not have good special effects. If you are less than 10 million, the special effects of the movie will be very rough, the viewing will be greatly reduced, and it will not play a role in improving the box office."

Pan Lunbei asked: "If I spent 24 million, can the box office exceed 6 million?"

"Mr. Pan, how can I calculate that? Special effects are just one element of the movie. Whether the box office is good depends on the final market reaction."

The private room was very quiet, and Pan Lunbei was in a dilemma.

If the box office is bleak, wouldn’t it be a waste of money?

Give up, I invested 30 million in filming and production before, and all the money would be wasted.

"I have a good idea, I wonder if you would like it?"

"explain."

Chen Yao said quickly: "Sell me the copyright of "Mysterious Journey"."

Since you don’t have confidence, selling is a good choice.

Pan Lunbei took a sip of coffee: "40 million, the full copyright of the movie belongs to you."

"Boss Pan, you're a little biting. You and I know the situation of the movie. Whether it can be released is a question. You still offer a price of 40 million?"

Pan Lunbei stretched out three fingers: "Thirty million, the investment cost of the movie is 32 million, and now it is enough to barely recover the cost."

Chen Yao was not a sloppy person either. He could accept it for 30 million. He nodded and agreed.

Next, the two discussed some contract details for a while, and bought "Mysterious Journey" for 30 million yuan, and Chen Yao owned 100% of the copyright of the movie.

The release of the movie and the derivative income all belong to him.

Then, the two walked into the musical notes dancing company and found a secretary to create a contract.

Chen Yao signed his name after reading the contract without any objection. Similarly, Pan Lunbei also signed his own name.

Until now, Li Chenguang doesn’t understand why Chen Yao spent 30 million to buy a bad movie that cannot be released yet?

He is really sure that he can bring "Mysterious Journey" back to life?
