As a director, Yang Jia is very familiar with his own scripts. The whole work is more realistic and focuses on action scenes.
The actors' action scenes were used to give the audience a visual enjoyment, but there was only one move in which he felt the need to use special effects, because the effect he wanted could not be achieved in reality.
Before, he had made plans to use crude special effects. Anyway, it was just one or two special effects shots, which would have little impact on the overall situation. But if he could invest 2 million more, he was sure that the special effects would be good.
That said, there are still many details that can be improved.
So when Su Qing said he could invest an additional 2 million yuan, he was overjoyed.
Although it was his first time as a director, it was not his first day joining the team, and he knew all too well how difficult it was to attract investment.
Originally, he didn't even expect that the other party could give him all the 8 million, and that he would even have to go somewhere else. But he didn't expect that the other party could actually add more money, which was simply unimaginable to him.
Even the other two directors, Deng Wenxiong and Wang Jiang, were confused. After so many years as directors, this was the first time they had seen an investor take the initiative to increase money, even though it was not much.
After all, when they went to solicit investment in the past, they asked for 10 million and the other party wanted to cut it down to 5 million. How could they add money?
It's like when you go out to buy groceries and you ask the boss how much a pound of cabbage is, he says 3 yuan, but you say no and give you 5 yuan, which is simply outrageous.
Even Wang Fan shook his head at the side. He was also the director. How could he not know how outrageous Su Qing's operation was.
Fortunately, he was rich and didn't miss the 2 million. Naturally, Wang Fan didn't say much. After all, that's how he got his 80 million. You know, the minimum investment he estimated for himself was around 6,000.
With.
Listening to Yang Jia's assurance, Su Qing smiled and nodded. The extra 2 million was nothing to him. The main thing was that he knew that this project could make money. In this case, why not sell the other party a favor?
There may be greater rewards in the future, and at the very least, the other party may owe you a favor.
"Okay, second question, I read in your script that you want to release it directly on major platforms and take the Internet route. Have you ever thought about taking the theater route?" Su Qing said.
He has to know what the outcome will be if the other party takes another route to maximize his benefits.
Hearing this, Yang Jia was stunned for a moment, and then smiled bitterly. Although it was also a movie, why didn't he know the risks and difficulties involved?
Moreover, he is a screenwriter, and he used to be an online drama editor, so he is relatively familiar with this aspect. In addition, in this market, he really doesn’t have much confidence in martial arts movies being released in cinemas, so he might as well go the online route.
"To be fair to Mr. Su, it is not impossible to show it in cinemas, but the current market may not be interested in martial arts. If it were possible, who wouldn't want to show it on the big screen?" Yang Jia said with a wry smile.
As soon as she finished speaking, the narration prompt sounded in Su Qing's mind.
[If it is released in theaters, although the quality of the film has not changed, it will gain a good reputation in the later period, and it will make money, but it is nothing compared to other movies in the same period that easily grossed hundreds of millions, hundreds of millions, or more than a billion in box office. At the same time,
Your final benefit will be reduced by about 5 million, the popularity will be reduced a lot, and the publicity effect will be reduced a lot.】
After listening to the narration's prompts and a brief comparison, Su Qing made a decision. How about leaving professional matters to professionals?
Theater chains have the advantages of theater chains, and online universities also have the advantages of online universities. To put it simply, they would rather be the head of a chicken than the tail of a phoenix.
Whether this film is released on major video platforms or in theaters, it can achieve good box office and reputation, and they will also make money.
However, the profit is based on their low cost.
With an investment of 10 million, what else do you want? In other production groups, this might not be enough to pay an actor.
Although they can still make money if they are released in theaters, if you compare the box office of other movies during the same period, their works will be surpassed immediately. On the other hand, if they are in the production team of the Internet University, whether it is the crew or the actors,
They can all be called luxurious.
Once the work is good enough, it will be faster and faster. After all, the exposure of online video platforms will be greater, at least for such low-cost movies.
As for a big production like "The Wandering Earth", it doesn't matter. The online and offline publicity is absolutely great, but "Defiant" is not good and cannot afford such high publicity costs.
"That's right. If that's the case, let's go online first. If it works well and gets a good reputation, we might be able to make a second one. By then, we'll have the foundation for the first one, and it'll be much better to go to theaters.
." Su Qing smiled.
He did not forget that the narrator reminded him that this work has the potential for a sequel.
In response, Yang Jia smiled and nodded. He hasn't even finished the first part yet, so how can he think about the second part?
Even this one doesn't have much confidence that it will be successful. After all, he is just a new director.
"Okay, now that I've finished asking, can I make a small request, Director Yang?" Su Qing said with a smile.
"Mr. Su, please tell me."
Hearing this, Yang Jia's heart skipped a beat. Isn't this Mr. Su looking for an actress? Or is he trying to add people to her crew?
Thinking that he glanced at Tang Nan next to Su Qing, he thought it was unlikely. There was a scandal between the two of them, and Mr. Su would not mention it in front of Tang Nan no matter how anxious he was.
As for adding Tang Nan to his crew, he couldn't ask for more. Even if his drama doesn't have any outstanding female characters, as long as Su Qing opens his mouth, he will have to change the script even if he changes it. After all, this is a popular female character.
One of the artists.
But he just thought about it, after all, he couldn't afford Tang Nan's salary, and his small business couldn't hire this big Buddha.
Sure enough, I heard Su Qing say: "I see that your cast has not been decided yet. I plan to hire Xie Ba. I like this actor very much. I wonder if you are sure about it?"
This chapter is not over yet, please click on the next page to continue reading! Hearing this, Yang Jia felt relieved immediately and smiled quickly: "Don't worry, Mr. Su. Although it hasn't been decided yet, he and I have cooperated before.
Time has also mentioned it, there is absolutely no problem."
As long as the investors don't interfere with their creation, that's good. Just now, he was worried that Su Qing was young and energetic and wanted to interfere with his crew. Now that he thought about it, it was not unreasonable for people to succeed at such a young age.
"In that case, Director Yang, are you happy to cooperate?" Su Qing stretched out her hand and asked with a smile.
Su Qing's sudden agreement made Yang Jia stunned for a moment. Is it so simple? Can we talk about investment like this?
He thought he would have to go through a lot of wrangling in the end, and he would drink himself until he vomited at the wine table before he could get it off.
"It's a pleasure to work together, thank you, Mr. Su!" Yang Jia quickly extended his hands to show respect.
Seeing this, Tang Nan glanced at Hu Xiaoling who was standing behind everyone. The secretary understood and quickly took out a contract. Tang Nan took it and said with a smile:
"Congratulations to Director Yang. It's like this. Su Qing's company is going through the formalities, probably in the past few days, and he doesn't have many employees here, so he can only let me do it for him. You can take a look at the contract first. If there is any
Let’s talk about anything you’re not satisfied with. Once the company procedures are completed in the next two days, the money will be gone. Of course, if you’re in a hurry, you can also come to my side for the same thing.”
"No rush, no rush, thank you Miss Tang!" Director Yang said quickly. He didn't really have a few days to go, he just needed to conclude the cooperation.
"That's good, Xiao Hu, you take Director Yang to our place and let him see the contract!"
"Okay, Mr. Tang, Director Yang, please come with me!"
After Director Yang followed Hu Xiaoling out, Su Qing looked at the two of them again and said, "I've read both of your scripts. You should have turned on your movies, right?"
Hearing this, Deng Wenxiong and Wang Jiang both nodded. Their project has already started, but the investment is still short, and they are now looking for investment.
"Director Wang Jiang, I read your "Big Events in Life" and found that the investment has already reached 30 million yuan. Your expected investment this time is to get 30 million yuan from me, right?"
"Yes, Mr. Su." Wang Jiang nodded. There was nothing embarrassing to say.
In this regard, Su Qing nodded: "Okay, since you have already started, I have nothing to tell you. I will give you 30 million. The specific process is the same as Director Yang's. If you are in a hurry, just go with Brother Nan's
The company, I can pay for it, or I can do it myself."
Su Qing's operation really made Wang Jiang stunned for a moment. He thought he would also be questioned, but he didn't expect that it would be even more exciting than the previous one.
"No rush, no rush, thank you, Mr. Su!" Wang Jiang quickly reached out his hand.
In response, Su Qing nodded: "That's good. The procedures in our company are fast. I'll be able to come down about tomorrow. I'd like to ask you to come again then."
["Life Events" was written and directed by Wang Jiang, telling the story between the male and female protagonists in a mixture of sadness and joy, full of a strong market atmosphere, and the final narration was 1.82 billion, a profit of 100,000 yuan]
Listening to the narration prompts in his mind, the smile on Su Qing's face became brighter and brighter. This was simply making people die.
When director Wang Jiang also got the contract and was taken out by Xiao Hu, Su Qing's eyes turned to the last thing.
"Director Deng, I particularly like this book of yours, and it is the one I am most optimistic about, but you are also the one who has invested the most. To be honest, I definitely want to invest in it, but I don't have enough money now, so I
I’m going to find a partner, do you mind?”
Hearing his words, Deng Wenxiong was almost frightened to death at first. He thought that the investment he received was gone, but unexpectedly it took a turn for the worse.
Of course he doesn't mind. Does it matter if one person invests in him or two people invest in him? As long as he can get the investment, no one's money is money!
