He originally thought that the movie shooting would be in a certain studio, or a film and television base, but he didn't expect that this time they came to a shopping mall.
"Boss, the filming this time was a fighting scene in a mall, so Director Zhou found the mall owner, reached a cooperation with the boss, and temporarily rented it as a filming location."
Seeing that Ye Chen was a little surprised, the staff next to him immediately explained.
"That's right."
Ye Chen nodded, and then walked into the mall. When he saw the chairman coming, outside the mall, the security personnel who prevented ordinary customers from entering immediately greeted Ye Chen respectfully.
"Hello, Chairman."
"Hello, Chairman."
Ye Chen walked into the mall and saw two people arguing in the middle of the mall at first sight. It seemed that the filming progress was going well.
"Hey, why did Director Zhou have a quarrel with the boss here?!"
The staff nearby said in surprise that it turned out that the two people quarreling were a senior executive of the film and television company and the other was the owner of the mall.
Something is wrong.
"Director Zhou, the chairman is here."
The crew noticed Ye Chen's arrival and immediately alerted Director Zhou.
"snort."
With a cold snort at the mall owner, Director Zhou immediately trotted towards Ye Chen. From a distance, Director Zhou greeted Ye Chen: "Chairman, you are here."
"Well, what's going on here, why aren't you filming?"
Seeing Director Zhou coming over, Ye Chen asked.
"Chairman like this, don't we need to shoot a fight scene in a shopping mall, but there is no decent studio, so I contacted the boss here specifically."
Director Zhou explained to Ye Chen that because it was a fighting scene, the shooting required a wide space and even various props. Therefore, other customers could not be present on the scene. Director Zhou discussed with the owner of the mall to pay 500 yuan per day.
The price of RMB 10,000 covers the entire mall.
And we need to adjust some places in the mall and arrange some props and so on. The two parties had a pleasant discussion before and the mall owner was also very satisfied with the 5 million. However, when we started shooting today, the mall owner jumped out.
It turned out that the mall owner somehow found out that their film and television company was closely related to Shenghai Entertainment, one of the top three entertainment companies, and was very rich. So this time, the mall owner asked for an increase in price, from 5 million per day.
, it rose to 10 million a day. As a result, Director Zhou naturally quit.
The price is too high, and the mall is a little old, so it doesn’t perfectly fit their script. The reason why they chose this place is, firstly, because it’s close, and secondly, because the price is reasonable. But if it goes up to 10 million, they will
Why not rent a better mall?!
This is equivalent to if your item is only worth 500 yuan, and the boss sees that you are rich, but wants you to pay 1,000 yuan, which is just as unreasonable and vexatious.
Listening to what Director Zhou said, Ye Chen also understood that it was normal for him to do this.
"You should be the boss of this film and television company. You came just in time."
Seeing Director Zhou communicating with Ye Chen, the mall owner also came over and took the initiative to talk to Ye Chen.
"I'm the chairman."
Ye Chen answered.
"I believe you should know what you are thinking. As long as it is only 10 million a day, it should be very simple for you."
the mall owner asked.
"Ten million is indeed not much, but your shopping mall is not worth that much, why should I give you so much?"
Ye Chen asked back, he has money, but he is not a big grudge who can be slaughtered by others. The mall owner said he wanted 10 million, so he would give him 10 million, haha.
"Aren't you making movies? Movies make a lot of money, and you are also related to Shenghai Entertainment, which has such a high market value. You make so much money, so why should you give me a little more rental fee?"
The mall owner spoke as if it was a matter of course.
"You rich people should also take pity on us poor people. How reasonable and reasonable this is."
The mall owner also spoke to Ye Chen from the moral high ground, pretending to be "poor".
Ye Chen was amused by the mall owner's words.
"It's my business to make money. Why should I give you more? Who do you think you are?!"
Ye Chen retorted.
Why should he give more of the money he earns to the mall owner? He has nothing to do with him.
"If you think you are reasonable, you can go to the bank. Banks make more money. Go and talk to them and discuss it. You make too much. I will give you some of it. I won't give it to you.
, you just don’t want to give up."
Ye Chen gave him a friendly but "punishing" suggestion.
"I me"
The mall owner was speechless by Ye Chen's rebuke and didn't know how to refute.
"If you dare, I think you are powerful. If you don't dare, just shut up!!!"
If the mall owner dares to do that, go to the bank and complain, facing such a punished talent entering the supervision department, Ye Chen is willing to give him a little more, but if he doesn't dare, what will he do to himself?
"Humph, if you don't want to, then don't even think about continuing to shoot."
Unable to refute Ye Chen, the mall owner's face turned red and he immediately changed the topic and threatened Ye Chen with filming time.
"That's great, I just don't want them to continue."
Ye Chen spoke.
Since this place does not perfectly match the scene in the script, it must be changed to another place. This is their company's first movie. What Ye Chen needs is a good reputation and popularity. The profit issue can be put back a little later.
When the film and television companies get on the right track, money will be indispensable, the game predicted.
For this "Dark Night Is Coming" movie, Ye Chen hopes that it will be perfect, whether it is the plot, props, or special effects, etc., it will be as impeccable as possible!!!
Quality first.
"By the way, isn't the space here not big enough? Then go to Qianda Plaza. There is enough space there, and you can do whatever you want and arrange the shooting props as you like."
Ye Chen spoke.
"Tch, it's Qianda Plaza, how dare you say that."
Next to him, the mall owner muttered angrily:
"You can't even afford to rent a small shopping mall like mine, let alone one like Qianda Plaza. If you want to rent there for shooting, the price will probably be several times that of mine."
"Poor people like you cannot afford to rent Qianda Plaza."
Although he wanted to quarrel with the mall owner, Director Zhou could not refute.
"Chairman, Qianda Plaza is not easy to rent. I guess the cost will be very high."
Director Zhou worriedly told Ye Chen that he had thought about Qianda Plaza before, and Qianda Plaza was better in every aspect, but after thinking about it, he gave up immediately because the price was too high.
Now, it is definitely not possible to continue shooting here. His idea is to find a shopping mall inferior to Qianda Plaza for shooting.
Just the next second, Ye Chen's words made the mall owner, Director Zhou and others stunned.
"The cost, what's the cost, what's the cost to shoot at my own place?"
After Ye Chen finished speaking, the scene instantly fell into silence.
"Chairman, you mean, you have a Qianda Plaza?!"
Director Zhou was stunned for a few seconds and asked excitedly.
