Chapter 156 Liu Tianxian, Here I Come (Please Subscribe)
Shen Lang's investment in movies was not a whim. Last time Gao Xixi's studio contacted him, I don't know who it was from outside, but he wanted to talk about the surrounding things. Although small, a sparrow is still meat, and 100,000 yuan is still money.
This kind of modern movie can also attract sponsors. If it is a small steel cannon, it can be directly made with sponsorship.
Gao Xixi can't do it. It's true that he is a big director of TV series, but he has never proved himself in movies, so no one dares to take too many risks.
If it is a TV series, there is no shortage of investment. For movies, you have to think about it. Of course, there will be no shortage of money.
The reason why he launched "Lush Beauty" is also for this reason. This idea is the same as that of new directors. Make a small-budget movie with a bit of literary youth. If it sells well at the box office, it means you are capable. If it doesn't sell well at the box office, it is an art film with low cost and good return.
But for the first movie, this kind of cost can only mean that he himself lacks confidence. Without a system, who dares to guarantee that it can sell well.
Therefore, in terms of investment, you have to attract more people. Reality is not a novel. If you are a big director with tens of millions or hundreds of millions, I believe you and give it to you.
In reality, if you are a small director, you can't get this kind of investment for 500,000 or 1 million yuan. You may even have to sign an agreement to get back the investment.
Anyway, there are many works that want to be invested. I have money in my hand, so it doesn't matter.
Gao Xixi is the same. He also invested himself, and he has the largest share, investing nearly 8 million yuan.
The main reason is that he also thinks that the cost of this movie is small and the hope of getting back the investment is great, but he can't bear all the risks by himself.
Then Xingguang Canlan invested 5 million yuan, which has something to do with Wanda. This is the company of Da Tiantian, and the theater chain has resources.
Alibaba invested 3 million yuan, which is purely to promote the company's entertainment treasure project, that is, crowdfunding to make movies, and there is money.
The estimated cost of this movie is 20 million yuan, and the rest is to find someone to join the game. In fact, there is no shortage of investment. There is a Huatu Education that is quite interested.
However, the specific investment cannot be done in one or two times. In fact, Gao Xixi can also take out this money himself, but there is no need. He can even invest in the entire movie by himself, just to share the risk.
The eight million, he actually counted his director's salary and his various expenses, he didn't actually pay much, half of it is incredible.
Shen Lang also called to talk about the surroundings and asked about the investment. Some things have to be proactive. If you don't ask, people will guess.
He found out that if you don't take the initiative, this movie really has nothing to do with you. It shouldn't be a big problem to get a small role, but what was he doing watching the fairy filming intimate scenes with other people on the scene? He's sick.
This kind of investment is not a trivial matter. With the surroundings guided by Lao Wang, the surrounding issues are transferred to investment. Well, it's quite reasonable.
Shen Lang also knew that Gao Xixi was talking to investors during this period, so he hinted, without saying it too clearly, jokingly saying that a movie he invested in was being released, and asked Gao Xixi to support it.
Gao Xixi also learned about Shen Lang's specifics. His investment in "Border Region" was also confirmed, but he didn't know the share. He was not very familiar with Wu Jun, but it was no problem to know that Shen Lang's largest shareholder was Shen Lang. When filming, so many people knew that Shen Lang joined halfway.
What else can I say? Come on. The more investment, the better. This is also the reason why Shen Lang flew here. If it weren't for the role, he would have to go to Shen Lang. For TV drama investment, if you want to give it to me, I have to wait. For movies, well, I can be modest.
Just yesterday, Gao Xixi sent an email to Shen Lang with a brief introduction to the role. Both of them understood that it was nominally for you to choose.
Although Shen Lang's choice made Gao Xixi feel a little painful, she could accept it. If it was a few hundred thousand, she would not care, but this was obviously several million.
He only planned to invest 20 million. Too much would not be appropriate. The more the better, but not unlimited. You can invest 100 million. Are you sure you can get the money back? If you are not sure, this road to being a movie director will be cut off. Low cost is better.
Now he is talking about investment with Huatu Education. The other party plans to invest 2 million, but there are some requirements. In addition to investment, they also want to highlight their company in the movie. He just doesn't want to give in.
Can you do product placement? In fact, directors like product placement the most. It is not investment, but just sponsorship. How good.
Forget about that, he also wants to sign a return agreement, and the investment must be guaranteed to return the investment. It seems incredible, right? There is no business that is guaranteed to make a profit.
But this kind of thing is very common in the film industry. The randomness of movies is too great, and it is very common for big directors to fail, so many investors do this.
The negotiation was stuck on this, mainly because there was no rush. Shen Lang, who had emerged suddenly, did not require any funds, which was too perfect.
Of course, his requirement was the role, which was actually a bit difficult, but he was also an actor, so it was not so incompatible. Money added.
At this moment, Shen Lang's performance was that of a man who believed in the power of money. He really believed it. He had an idea that if he gave 100 million to the fairy, he could have a one-night stand.
But no one would do this, even if she was a goddess. That was cash, which would also destroy the impression, and it was impossible to achieve.
Reborn in the future, after those three years, the public was unemployed and bankrupt, who could not believe in money? Only with money can there be a future.
Shen Lang only acted out one feeling. Yang Zhenmin also has another characteristic of being a scumbag. Maybe Shen Lang couldn't empathize with him in reality, but for some reason, he could act out this feeling easily. However, there was no one there now, so there was no need to act.
"Shen Lang, let's talk about it? I'll tell you about our movie."
"Okay."
Shen Lang knew that the role was basically secured, and the current situation was that he had to raise money.
He had no money on him now. As for the share of "Border Region", it would take at least three months to arrive after the movie was released. It was normal for the theater to pay back the money in half a year. After all, it was not a single company, and this was basically the norm.
Therefore, investing in movies is very risky. This has a time cost. If you put millions of dollars in the bank, it will not be a small amount of money in a year. If you can only get back the capital, it will be a loss.
...
The specific matters were not coordinated between Shen Lang and Gao Xixi. It was enough to have a general idea. The follow-up still depended on the contract. Shen Lang also knew that he had to invest at least three million.
This three million was equivalent to buying a role by himself. Of course, it was an investment. After all, there was a big difference in popularity between him and the original role.
The other person was also very popular as a supporting role during this period. Shen Lang thought that this money was quite reasonable.
Gao Xixi originally planned to find Huatu to invest, and then find other people. There is no pressure to raise this money, but it has to consume favors and there is also pressure to make a profit.
Shen Lang has no pressure at all. He also left a million shares for Huatu Education. The reality is not a good article. If you don’t invest, others will invest.
The reality is that I give you face and there are still a million shares. Come quickly.
Shen Lang walked out of the building and looked up at the sky. Liu Yifei, I’m here.
