Chapter 494 80 million investment
494
The invitation that came suddenly was for someone who hadn't had a meal with his colleagues for a long time.
It may be a bit too much to say that he is flattered, but it really makes people feel unexpected.
What’s even more surprising is that this invitation actually came from Brother Fa, who is worth 14 million.
"Okay, OK, OK..." Three "good" in a row represent how happy I am.
After inviting Meng Da, Fa Ge started his own work.
On the other side, Wang Xiaopang was reporting what happened last night to his father.
"They really signed a contract? Is it really priced at 14 million?" Although Director Wang Da was very optimistic about Lin Ping, it was still a bit unexpected to get Fa Ge so quickly with 14 million.
"Yes, I took a look at the check in detail. The company that issued the check is ATV TV.
14 million is not a point, which is considered the top signing price in our Port City.” Wang Xiaopang was somewhat envious.
No one would think that money is too little.
But what is even more enviable is that Fa Ge can only get a pay of 200,000 yuan a year.
But he got 14 million overnight.
This feeling is simply too cool.
Just like a person's daily salary is only worth 20 yuan, and this 20 yuan is still the top standard in the industry, at least in the TV industry, it is a very high standard.
Then suddenly one day someone told you that your value was greatly ignored.
In fact, you are worth more money, so much that you can't imagine.
This huge amount of unexpected gains, coupled with the recognition of being recognized.
It will bring great vanity to men.
Wang Xiaopang understood that this 14 million was not easy to get.
He didn't know the details of what kind of contract the two parties signed.
But even so, Wang Xiaopang hopes that Lin Ping can open a big contract for himself that shocks the entire industry.
Although your own strength is just a movie you just made.
If you want a super giant contract, I'm afraid it's a bit crazy.
But it is precisely because of dreaming that people feel happy.
"What do you mean is, how many of them want to sign a contract with Ping?" When Director Wang Da spoke, not only did he have his own son in the room, but also Xu Ke, Du Qifeng, and Lin Dong.
"Teacher, we want to..." Du Qifeng asked impatiently.
“If it were before, I would have hoped you would make your own decisions.
This time, I want you to participate in the director training class held by ATV. I hope you can establish a good communication channel with ATV.
Once you get familiar with it, maybe ATV will use you in the future.
The reason I asked you to attend this training class like this.
It’s just that both sides place chips, and both sides don’t offend them.
I am in charge of the TVB station. Even if you don’t get reused at ATV, you will have job opportunities when you return to Unlimited.
However, the reason why I had such an idea at that time was nothing more than responding that Lin Ping wanted to sign Fa Ge 14 million.
In addition, Lin Ping is a man with great ambitions and wants to make super big moves around the world.
Now that the boot has fallen to the ground, Fa Ge has really received 14 million.
This further proves Lin Ping's ambition to do something big.
What can I instruct you to do?
But I can give you a sincere advice.
If possible, you can sign up for this company!
If the boss can spend 14 million for an actor, I believe he will seriously shoot the movies produced.
Now there is only one last question left before him.
That is, ATV currently has no theater chain in Hong Kong City. Once they have their own theater chain, they will definitely use various methods to eat up all opponents who disobey them.
It may take a little time, but I believe that for a real estate developer, this is just a small problem." Director Wang looked at several people quietly.
"I listen to the teacher. I will submit an application for signing a contract with them at that time." Du Qifeng made his first statement.
Seeing Du Qifeng's first statement, Wang Xiaopang was dissatisfied.
"I have already agreed with their boss Lin that you can sign a contract at any time as long as you three are willing.
And now, as long as I call, Lin Ping will prepare a pretty good contract for me immediately.
Let me tell you a secret, that is, you three can listen to such secrets.
I believe you won't tell anyone else.
The reason I know this boss Lin is because he has a pseudonym.
The boss turned into Wang Hai before and participated in the assessment of TVB's artist training class.
I even went to the karaoke bar with me and had a fight.
That night we called a few girls to sing in the karaoke bar.
But suddenly someone broke in and caused trouble.
So we started fighting with each other, fortunately, Boss Lin’s security team was very excellent.
In a very short time, the group of people were controlled.
When the boss turned into Wang Hai, he admired me quite a lot, otherwise he would not have gone to sing and drink with me.
Now he accidentally broke the signing scene between him and Fa Ge, so Boss Lin took the opportunity to invite me.
And in addition to this invitation, I also hope that I will send an invitation like a few of you.
Boss Lin promised to give everyone a satisfactory contract." After Xiaopang said that, he looked proud.
After all, this is a personal relationship with the other party’s big boss.
His father has a decent position in TVB, but he has no personal relationship with the boss of TVB.
In the entertainment industry, this kind of fame and fortune is a world of fame and fortune.
Although sometimes people betray their friendship for money.
But human favors are sometimes better than money in the entertainment industry.
Hearing Wang Xiaopang's words, Xu Ke and Lin Dong looked at each other.
After all, Du Qifeng has agreed to sign a contract with ATV, and now they are the only two left to express their opinions.
"Since such a big boss is so proud of his face, we naturally cannot refute the other party's face.
As long as Boss Lin can use us, we will go and help in a word." Xu Ke did not hesitate, but quickly expressed his opinion.
Speaking of this, Lin Dong did not have any further entanglement.
Soon, the four directors reached an agreement.
"Since everyone agrees, I'll call him." Wang Xiaopang hurriedly picked up the phone at home and called Lin Ping.
The two people didn't have a long time to talk, and they didn't even have three minutes in total.
But after Wang Xiaopang hung up the phone, he directly told the other four people in the room an astonishing price.
"Boss Lin said, I'll give you a probation period.
Each of us shoots two movies, and the total investment of the four of us is 80 million yuan.
If the photos are good, the contract will be signed officially.
However, Boss Lin specifically explained that there is no salary during this probation period.
It is completely the assessment task of the director training class." Wang Xiaopang finished speaking and then added.
"Neither capitalists are anything, and they don't even pay for director fees." Wang Xiaopang sat aside cursingly.
"What did you say? A total investment of 80 million?" Even Director Wang Da didn't believe the numbers he heard.
"You can't hear it wrong, right? The box office champion in Hong Kong last year was only more than 10 million.
After deducting the share and taxes from theaters, as well as the expenses for publicity and distribution.
A box office of more than 10 million can only earn more than 3 million.
And the cost of shooting is deducted for more than 3 million yuan.
If 80 million is distributed to 4 of us equally, it would be 20 million each.
If two movies are made by each person, it means an investment of 10 million yuan per movie.
My God, are you playing so much?" Everyone didn't care about the little director's expenses.
According to the current market price, it can only cost 30,000 to 50,000 yuan.
If they include their own influence, it would be great not only if they could not get 50,000 yuan, but even 20,000 to 30,000 yuan.
Even if you shoot two movies, you can get 50,000 yuan in total, you are already very generous.
“Can a movie invested 10 million yuan, can it be spent?
I have made the largest investment movie, but only 850,000 yuan.
It made me more than 10 times in an instant, and I felt instantly that I could not even spend money." Lin Dong not only couldn't spend money, but even stuttered when he spoke.
"Are you sure this is not a joke?" Xu Ke didn't believe that Lin Ping could do 80 million with just one move.
Such a huge amount of money is given to me and these new directors to control.
Although the director will not spend money in person, it is the producer who controls the cash.
But a budget of 10 million means that many things can be made quite well.
For example, in the past one or two years, the car chases each other, and then the gunfights broke out.
This is all a money-burning act.
If one shot is not good, it will be lost if it is more than 100,000 Hong Kong dollars.
Repeat the shot two or three times, which means an investment of hundreds of thousands.
And how dare you have such a big scene in the videos you have filmed before?
First of all, the budget item is stuck tightly.
At most, there are just a few motorcycles chasing each other.
Even if motorcycles chase each other, it will not cost much money.
Cars, especially those luxury cars, chase each other and then roll and explode. These are all shots made with money.
What Xu Ke thought in his heart, if Lin Ping knew about it.
Lin Ping suddenly showed a look like this.
Because I watched movies from the early and mid-1980s.
Many chase scenes are mostly motorcycles.
The killer rides a motorcycle to chase the important figures ahead.
Then when passing by the full car, I suddenly shot.
During this period, there were racing against each other and thrilling scenes.
However, there are generally no explosion scenes in large scenes.
This kind of explosion scene of big scenes continued until the late 1980s and early 1990s and became more and more popular.
Because in the late 1980s and early 1990s, when film companies produced movies, their budgets had been high.
Taking Jackie Chan's movies as an example, it is normal to invest more than 100 million Hong Kong dollars.
But small companies do not have such a courage.
This also makes Jackie Chan's movie look even more exciting.
You get what you pay for, especially when you look at the moment when the top luxury cars explode, so many people who buy tickets to enter the cinema feel particularly sour.
"It seems that my judgment of him is not wrong. He is indeed a very ambitious person.
Although this time, it seems that you didn't give you a few director fees.
But looking at the entire Hong Kong City, how many directors can spend 10 million to shoot movies?
I won’t give you any fees this time, it’s better than giving you money.
If the industry knows that a few of you newcomers will come to shoot movies with such a big investment.
As long as these movies are of guaranteed quality, I believe it will be the moment when you make your mark.
Cherish this opportunity and take a look at what you have learned in your life.
You must not just shout it out like before, when many shots are ambiguous.
You must remember that you must strive for excellence.
You can make a good investment of 700,000 or 800,000 yuan.
If you invest more than 10 million yuan, the level of the auction will still be 700,000 to 800,000 yuan.
Then you don’t want to know me, I can’t afford to lose this person.
Even my own son is the same. If you shoot the effect, it still feels like a movie.
Don't go back to this home in the future, I can't afford to lose this person either." Director Wang Da said very seriously as he looked at the four rookies in the room.
"Did Boss Lin say what to shoot? Should we write the script ourselves, or should the company have a ready-made script to provide it?" Du Qifeng forced himself to ask this in the calmest state.
After all, this sentence represents two complete states of one heaven and one earth.
If you write your own script, it means that the company has completely delegated power.
However, everyone is newcomer.
Moreover, if you invest 10 million in a movie at one time, it is estimated that the company will provide scripts more likely.
After all, if the boss is optimistic about his few people, he will not be able to waste the money like this.
After all, we have to make a profit with these movies, so the biggest possibility is that the company has stable scripts to provide.
"Lin Ping said that there are 8 books.
Each of me received two books, and the company will arrange actors to participate in the performance.
The rest depends on our own abilities.” When Wang Xiaopang said this, it means that the director's authority was further compressed.
Without the right to write the script by yourself, it means that only the director's rights are.
There is not even the right to find an actor, but everyone has not decided on the right to the actor before.
At that time, even the name of director was not considered a good name.
It's just a temporary help to shoot some scenes.
Especially when I was in a hurry to hand over the film, the crew had to divide it into two groups.
Many times the director will be responsible for Group A, and these few of them will be responsible for Group B.
Some of the less important scenes will be completed by a few of them.
"Since the company has prepared the script, let's go quickly..." Xu Ke couldn't wait to see his own script.
After all, only after you have read the script can you be able to shoot the most exciting things.
Xu Ke's ideas also represent the ideas of several other people.
The news several people received was too amazing.
Now the restlessness in their hearts is no longer allowed to sit here and listen to Director Wang Da’s teachings.
I couldn't wait to rush to ATV, get my own script as fast as possible, and then start building my own team.
Finally, read the script in detail with the actors arranged by the company.
Ensure the entire shooting is smooth.
For several people, it is second only to the script.
It is to quickly know who the stars in your team are.
Chapter completed!
