Chapter eight hundred and fiftieth chapters lack of heart
The reason for Ye Fan's refusal left Zhang Zhaohua and the others unable to find fault.
Yes, what an honor it is that the goddess of all people is willing to join the crew!
Not only are we not grateful to our investors, we are actually still trying to get paid for the goddess?
Not for the Son of Man, not for the Son of Man!
"What Mr. Ye said makes sense..." Zhang Zhaohua wiped the cold sweat from his forehead and confirmed: "Mr. Ye, can you really invite Miss Zi Ying'er?"
"I said, as long as your company can cooperate with us sincerely, Miss Zi Ying'er will definitely not refuse." Ye Fan grinned.
"60%, Miss Zi Ying'er will join..." Zhang Zhaohua's heart was moved.
According to Ye Fan's suggestions, this "Ancient Xia" does have the possibility of becoming a hit.
If through Zi Ying'er's relationship and a few friends in the industry are invited, even if they are just a popular young person who is just going through the motions, they can attract a lot of young viewers.
This series of chain reactions is enough to support the box office of a movie!
However, the conditions offered by Ye Fan were so harsh that they were particularly unwilling to accept them.
The majority belongs to the other party, the investment and sponsorship belong to the other party, and their film studio only gets 40% of the box office share...
In fact, they don’t even think about it: How many movie studios do this with nothing?
Ye Fan can give them four percent, which is already pretty good!
If they were replaced by senior film investors, they might be able to get rid of them with some hard-earned money.
"Okay! Mr. Ye, I hope we can..."
Just when Zhang Zhaohua was speaking halfway, Director Liu suddenly grabbed him and winked at Producer Xiong repeatedly.
Producer Xiong understood and immediately said to Ye Fan: "Mr. Ye, your proposal is a bit harsh. The three of us cannot represent the entire film studio.
Why don't you give us one night and we'll discuss it with the factory management and try to give you a satisfactory answer tomorrow!"
Ye Fan glanced at Producer Xiong and Director Liu, knowing their little Jiujiu, he laughed and said: "Okay."
"In that case, let's take our leave first."
Director Liu and Producer Xiong pulled the confused Zhang Zhaohua away from Novum and back to the hotel.
Zhang Zhaohua was confused and walked around the room restlessly.
"Why are you dragging me out? Novan is our last hope. Apart from them, we can no longer get any investment!"
"Who said that!" Director Liu said with a sly smile: "Mr. Zhang, Miss Zi Ying'er is going to join our movie, are you afraid that you can't find investors?"
"Old Liu, are you not mistaken? Miss Zi Ying'er is willing to help us with the script because of the face of Mr. Ye from Novan..."
Zhang Zhaohua rolled his eyes, "We don't have any friendship with Miss Zi Ying'er. Without Mr. Ye, how could we have attracted this great master?"
"Mr. Zhang, Miss Zi Ying'er is really doing it for Mr. Ye's sake! But if our script is not good, will she be able to follow it easily with her status?" Producer Xiong said with a smile.
"Huh?" Zhang Zhaohua was stunned, "What do you mean?"
"Mr. Zhang, our movie is almost finished. We finally came up with such a good script. The whole factory is pointing to this movie to make a comeback!"
Director Liu sighed bitterly, "I know it's unkind to plot against Mr. Ye and the others at this juncture, but we can't miss this opportunity. If we agree to their request, we can conservatively earn 100 million..."
If we contact Miss Zi Ying'er's team privately, maybe one hundred million can be turned into two hundred million, or even three hundred million!"
"Hiss!" Zhang Zhaohua took a breath of air when he heard this number.
For the film industry, several hundred million is really not a big number.
For slightly larger productions, two to three hundred million will be spent, and additional amounts will have to be added later.
In addition, actors' salaries are getting higher and higher, and most of the cost of many movies is eaten up by the starring actors' salaries.
Of course, movies supported by stars also mean high returns.
Some directors clearly know that some popular young talents have poor acting skills and poor sense of responsibility, but they still want to accept them into the team because of their box office appeal.
It's just that in recent years, the popularity of Xiaoxianrou has begun to decline, and many movie fans with spending power instinctively reject Xiaoxianrou.
Everyone hopes to see truly connotative and meaningful word-of-mouth movies and high-quality movies, rather than short-lived fast food products.
"The Ancient Hero" is a good script, and the whole movie promotes a very positive sentiment and spirit. If there is enough capital, Huayang Film Studio has absolute confidence to make it well.
If a big name comes in, it means that the future box office expectations will be higher, and it can completely save the Huayang Film Factory and hundreds of Huayang filmmakers who are on the verge of bankruptcy.
Zhang Zhaohua was moved. He was well aware of the current situation of Huayang Film Studio, and he also knew that the success or failure of this movie would determine whether Huayang Film Company would give up on them.
When Novin was willing to invest at the beginning, Zhang Zhaohua did think that if he could protect his capital, he would win.
But when Nuofan dropped the bombshell Zi Ying'er, he became confused.
Guaranteed box office of 300 million, net income of more than 100 million...
Nima, so powerful!
What about the 500 million box office?
More than 200 million...
700 million box office, nearly 400 million!
This is only the box office revenue, other advertising sponsorships have to be calculated separately.
Just for Zi Ying'er's name, it's worth at least tens of millions, right?
It’s tens of millions, enough to cover the cost of the entire show!
"We...can we really contact Miss Zi Ying'er privately?"
Zhang Zhaohua brainstormed for a while and murmured timidly: "If Miss Zi Ying'er is very familiar with the people from Nuofan, wouldn't we be trying to gain leverage over others? If this kind of thing spreads, it won't be good for us, right?"
"Mr. Zhang, please stop worrying about such inconsequential matters!" Producer Xiong gritted his teeth and said, "We Huayang are going to die. If we don't save ourselves, it will be over!"
"Yes!" Director Liu repeatedly echoed: "Ms. Zi Ying'er has entered film and television in recent years. Although she has won some awards, she has never won a grand prize. She urgently needs to prove herself with a high-quality movie!
We are all professional filmmakers, and we know very well how good the script of "The Ancient Hero" is. As long as we have sufficient funds, we will definitely be able to make a movie that spans the ages!"
After all, it’s still a matter of funds!
"Then... let's contact Miss Zi Ying'er first?" Zhang Zhaohua pondered for a while, then whispered: "Which of you can contact her?"
"It's a bit difficult, but you can definitely find it. No matter how difficult it is, you can still find the contact information of Ms. Zi Ying'er's agent!"
Director Liu and Producer Xiong said.
"Mr. Zhang, let's contact Miss Zi Ying'er first. If she joins directly, let alone the sponsor, we can even choose the investor!"
"Okay, done!" Zhang Zhaohua clenched his fists.
You should be a villain, at worst, you can go back and compensate the bosses of Novan more so that they won't suffer a loss. You should be rewarded for helping Huayang Film Factory and Miss Zi Ying'er!
The three of them just did what they said and got busy.
Although they have been working hard in the film industry for many years, they have only been in contact with small people and rarely cooperated with big stars.
After more than two hours, the three of them searched all their friends and finally obtained the contact information of Zi Ying'er's manager, Sister Feng.
Zhang Zhaohua took a deep breath and couldn't wait to dial Sister Feng's phone number.
"Excuse me, is this the gold medal manager Sister Feng?"
"It's me, who are you?" Sister Feng couldn't hear the other person's voice, and her tone was a little guarded.
"Oh, that's it. I am the general manager of Huayang Film Factory, Zhang Zhaohua..."
"It's Mr. Zhang!" Sister Feng smiled, "Miss Ying'er has already told me.
The movie jointly produced by your film studio and Novin is very good. Miss Yinger and I read part of the script this afternoon and both felt very satisfied.
I have some questions. This movie of yours is an action movie. Does it have many dangerous scenes? Although we Ying'er have some dancing skills, we have very little experience in action movies. I'm afraid there will be problems."
Sister Feng turned her back on customers and went directly into negotiation mode, which made Zhang Zhaohua lose his position.
He thought for a while and replied bravely: "Sister Feng, don't worry, although our movie is an action movie, most of the fighting scenes were made in the studio, using advanced 3D frame technology, and used for outdoor scenes.
There are very few, and protection measures are in place.”
"That's good." Sister Feng secretly breathed a sigh of relief and smiled lightly: "In that case, when will you and Mr. Ye come to sign a contract with our studio?"
As for the remuneration, Ye Fan and Zi Ying'er have almost talked about it.
The friendship price is 10 million, which is not much, but it will not be very low.
In addition, plus half of the advertising sponsorship dividends, it is enough to be worth Zi Ying'er's efforts.
Sister Feng has no objection to this.
If Zi Ying'er cooperates with those giants in the film industry, the salary may not be low, but advertising sponsorship and dividends are basically out of the question.
According to Ye Fan's proposal, Zi Ying'er's salary will be less, but the overall income will not decrease, but will increase.
Zhang Zhaohua did not expect that Sister Feng would take the initiative to mention the boss of Novan. She was a little bit silent at the moment and said: "Mr. Ye... ahem, due to some special circumstances, our agreement with Mr. Ye has been temporarily suspended..."
"Huh?" Sister Feng raised her eyebrows immediately, "Mr. Zhang, what do you mean?"
As an experienced person, she could tell something fishy from just a few words of the other party.
Zhang Zhaohua swallowed his saliva, gritted his teeth and said, "Sister Feng, our Huayang Film Studio sincerely invites Miss Zi Ying'er to join us!
The salary is 30 million, and the advertising bonus will be based on Mr. Ye’s pricing. If you are willing to cooperate, we will return to the Imperial Capital to discuss it in detail with you."
"this……"
The salary of 30 million yuan is the top level in China. Even those king-level bosses are paid at this price.
Sister Feng was a little embarrassed.
If she agrees unilaterally, she will definitely anger Ye Fan. Not only will it be difficult for Zi Ying'er to deal with it, but she will also be blocked by the forces in the coastal area.
However, both the price offered by the other party and the movie itself were very attractive and would be of great benefit to Zi Ying'er's development.
