Chapter 352 Let Him Change Places!
Businessmen attach great importance to profit. As the saying goes, everyone in the world is about profit, and everything in the world is about profit. The purpose of doing business is naturally to make money. If there is no money to make, only fools will do business.
Therefore, many people who have made a lot of money will be praised by a lot of people regardless of whether they are law-abiding or illegal!
The most typical one is the prototype character of "The Wolf of Wall Street", Jordan Belfort. He is obviously a criminal who walks on the edge of the law and even violates the law to make money. But because he made money, he is respected by many people...
Shen Xudong was a little surprised by Boss Chen's generosity.
He knows a lot of rich people, and he also knows a lot of that guy in his memory. When drinking, these rich people are very easy to talk to. Isn't it just 30 million? The friendship between us two brothers, 300 million, in my eyes Take it out without even blinking! ’
But I really need money, and I’m not willing to pay no matter how much I beg...
We can't blame them, after all, the movie is really risky...
Not to mention whether it will receive market response after its release, it is hard to say whether it will be released or not!
The film market in later generations actually relies on a few schedules and a few movies every year.
Who can guarantee that a bad movie will make money?
friendship?
Friendship is nothing!
So, Boss Chen was very moved by the direct payment - verbal promises are unreliable, real money and silver support is the truth.
40 million, the box office needs to be at least over 100 million to recover...
At this stage, it is very difficult to exceed 100 million at the box office!
"The Fox Wife in the Mountain Village" and "The Legend of the Hunter in the Xing'an Mountains" were two such big-ticket films, but the box office did not reach 45 million.
Could Boss Chen not know?
He works in a theater chain, so he must know these things well...
But he still chooses to believe in Shen Xudong...
Can Shen Xudong not be moved by this kind of trust?
People want to see the world rationally, but in fact, most people are emotional!
Same goes for Shen Xudong!
"Love Has an Afterlife"...Shen Xudong changed the script, but the popularity of director and starring Yu Feihong is at stake here...
Even if the most popular mainland actor is chosen, it is estimated that the box office will only be a little over 60 million at most. It will still be very difficult to recover the cost!
Therefore, Shen Xudong wants to compensate
How to compensate?
After checking the account with 40 million, Shen Xudong called Boss Chen: "Brother... there is a high probability that "Love Has Afterlife" will lose money..."
“It’s hard for this movie to become a hit, both in terms of its cast and its subject matter…”
"I'm a screenwriter... The artistry of this movie cannot be overemphasized. If it's made well, it's quite possible to compare to "The Last Love". From an artistic point of view, it's really difficult to make such a movie... But from a From a business perspective…”
"Brother, let me tell you this, if you invest in three of my movies, "Love Is Afterlife", "Time Traveler" and one "The Stolen Five Years", I can guarantee that the last two will definitely be successful. make money!"
"...No, I haven't found a director yet, and I haven't perfected the script yet... I'm just telling you in advance..."
"Don't send money first... No, you have too much money and you won't be able to use it all, right?"
"...When I finish writing the script and find a suitable director, I will definitely contact you then."
"Um…"
After hanging up the phone, Shen Xudong was a little speechless...
Boss Chen is really impatient. As soon as he heard about the three movies, he immediately said that he would invest all the money...
I know you are a coal boss and you are not short of money, but there is no need to be like this!
…
40 million was received, and Shen Xudong introduced Yu Feihong to Gao Fenfen - "Love Has an Afterlife" was handed over to Tianmei Company for operation, formation, preliminary viewing, etc...
It is not that simple to start shooting a movie. Before the official start of filming, every prop, every shot, and every person must be carefully considered, otherwise problems will easily occur during shooting.
The first thing is to break down the script.
The so-called decomposition of the script is to dismantle the script one by one according to basic elements such as scenes, locations, actors, etc. At the same time, attention should also be paid to the length of the shooting, props, stunts, and photography equipment.
After breaking down all the scenes, the production team can add variables one by one.
The distance between the locations, whether the shooting time is day or night, indoors or outdoors, when the location will be available; and then consider the actors: when the film can be filmed, who needs to work together, etc.
By the way, there’s also the casting!
Yu Feihong directed and acted herself, so the heroine didn't have to think about anything else, while the male lead was very important.
It’s not just about being popular. Your appearance fits Yu Feihong. To put it simply, you have to have a CP feel!
Of course the original performance of the old part was good, but... I always felt like it didn't have a sense of CP!
Zhu Awen is not bad...
Of course, these require Yu Feihong’s own nod…
In fact, after the money arrived, she withdrew 100,000 yuan and took Chen Xi, no, it should be Chen Zhixi, to see the scene together...
I estimate that once the viewing is over, it’s almost time to select the cast.
Anyway, the filming is tentatively scheduled for May next year - Yu Feihong's original words: Because the azaleas are blooming just right.
Filming will start in May next year, so... the release date will be at least the year after tomorrow!
The rest of the matter has nothing to do with Shen Xudong. He was planning to continue writing scripts in seclusion, but it had been delayed for a long time...
Making art is such a waste of time!
Then Gao Fenfen asked him: "How is the writing of "The Detective of the Republic of China" going?"
Shen Xudong was surprised: "...Do you want the script now? Didn't you say next week?"
Gao Fenfen explained: "It's next week, but aren't you a quick shooter... It's been a week and the script hasn't been completed yet?"
Shen Xudong was angry: "Who said I was a fast shooter? Who started this rumor!"
"...Quick shooter refers to your quick thinking...How could it be a rumor?"
"That's not OK!"
Quick shooter…
Highlight the word "quick", this word is very harmful to men!
Brother Dong, after doing so many things, the one that stands out the most is ‘Kuai’…
Although Shen Xudong also has the word "东", he has no intention of becoming famous all over the world for being fast like Brother Dong!
Gao Fenfen didn't quite understand what was wrong with this title, but she didn't want to get hung up on it, so she changed the subject: "...Let's go to xx Golf Club!"
"What are you doing there?"
"Xingmei's Tan Hong invited us there!"
Shen Xudong shook his head: "...Let him find another place, I can't play golf!"
Gao Fenfen was very tough: "You have to go, this is a way of socializing, golf socializing! Nowadays, nobles play it!"
"Golf social? Noble?"
The competition is to stuff the golf ball into the hole as quickly as possible?
Then... no one can compare to Da Liu!
It's not Liu Cixin, it's Hong Kong actress sniper Liu Luanxiong...
"This is China, not the Qing Dynasty. After the founding of New China, everyone is equal, and there is no distinction between nobles and lowly people..." Shen Xudong sarcastically said, still refusing: "Let him change places, otherwise let's stop talking! "
"What are you talking about? There are more than 20 theaters owned by Xingmei..."
Gao Fenfen rolled her eyes at him, then dialed Qin Hong's number and changed the meeting place to a restaurant.
"Are you satisfied? Can you leave?"
"That's pretty much it..."
Shen Xudong stood up and motioned for Gao Fenfen to follow...
