"Studying directing? Then why do you want to be an actor?"
After hearing Xuanxuan's words, Qin Feng said: "You can learn if you don't have enough experience. No one can make movies as soon as they graduate. Won't you gain experience by making a few more movies?"
"Brother Feng, I really want to take pictures, but no one lets me take pictures..."
Xuanxuan is also a straightforward person and said immediately: "Many people who have graduated for more than ten years are still working as assistant directors. How can filming be so easy..."
Xuanxuan finally realized that her boyfriend, this imposing elder brother, was a complete layman in the entertainment industry, and what he said was not reliable at all.
There are so many students graduating from film schools every year, and some of those who graduated in the 1980s are still doing side jobs or have never even been an assistant director. A girl like her with no background just worked as an actress first to increase her qualifications, and she didn't dare to apply for a director's job.
thing.
"Is filming difficult?" Qin Feng turned to look at Li Ran and said, "Brother Ran, if we invest, can we appoint a director and actors?"
"Of course..." Li Ran nodded and said, "If we just invest, we won't even have to worry about the company and just hang it directly under the military company."
"How much does it cost to make a movie?" Qin Feng continued to ask, he had no idea at all.
"A few million is enough for a small investment. If it's a big investment, it's hard to say whether it's tens of millions or even hundreds of millions..."
Li Ran looked at Qin Feng with a strange look and said, "You kid, you don't want to play movies, do you? It's okay to make money on this thing, but if you lose it, you'll lose everything..."
The mainland's movie market was once very popular in the 1980s. "Shaolin Temple", which cost 5 cents and a dime a ticket, once created a box office legend of hundreds of millions, and many people were willing to spend money to go to the movie.
But after the 1990s, VCDs and DVDs entered millions of households, and you could watch blockbusters at home if you bought a pirated disc, so the business of movie theaters plummeted.
That is to say, the introduction of many foreign blockbusters such as "Titanic" in recent years, coupled with the rise of domestic New Year films, has gradually brought the film industry back to life and gradually improved.
However, there are many hurdles for a movie from shooting to review to broadcasting, and many movies are made without even a chance to be released.
Even if the movie is released, there will still be box office impact from foreign blockbusters, so there are not many movies that can really make money every year. This is why people in Li Ran's circle rarely get involved in the film and television industry.
"Tooko is my brother. It doesn't matter if you invest in a few movies."
Qin Feng weighed it in his mind and said: "Xuanxuan, I will spend 50 million, and you will make three movies first. If the response is good, I will continue to invest and this actor will stop being a..."
The one billion US dollars that Qin Feng deposited in Swiss banks cannot be used. However, the previous eight million US dollars were transferred to Hong Kong Island by Qin Feng. At that time, he can invest in the name of a real estate company.
"Five...fifty million?" Listening to Qin Feng's understatement, Xuanxuan looked in disbelief, "Feng...Brother Feng, are you kidding me?"
As an insider, Xuanxuan knows far more than Li Ran. Those so-called big investments are actually all bragging. If you invest 10 million, you can call it 50 million. If you invest 30 million, the film company can dare to call it 50 million.
There is a lot of water in clamoring for 100 million.
So Qin Feng asked for 50 million yuan to make three films. Each film has a budget of more than 10 million yuan. In the current film market, it can be regarded as a big production.
Xuanxuan knew that Li Tianyuan was a shareholder of a demolition company and had several million dollars, but she never expected that Brother Feng, who had been talking about Li Tianyuan all day long, would be so generous, which made her afraid for a moment.
Believed.
"I rarely joke with people..."
Seeing the expression on Xuanxuan's face, Qin Feng couldn't help but smile and said: "Go and discuss the rental of equipment and staffing with Shen Jun first. Once you have negotiated, the money will arrive. Brother Ran, you can give it to Shen Jun later."
Say hello..."
"Okay, this is a small matter. I can leave it to the army to handle the issue when the time comes."
Li Ran nodded and agreed, and he was more thoughtful than Qin Feng. Movies must be sold, and distribution is also a very important part of it.
"Is it true? You're not bragging, right?"
"In just a few words, investing 50 million yuan is a bit exaggerated."
"That's right, if you let someone with no experience make a movie, isn't this just a waste of money?"
While Qin Feng and Li Ran were talking, more than ten other people in the conference room were also whispering.
Although Qin Feng was very aura, what he said was a bit unreliable. Moreover, there was not much hot money invested in the film industry at this time, and he did not spend huge sums of money to make movies like the coal bosses of later generations.
So at this moment, most people in the venue thought that Qin Feng and Li Ran were bragging. Several older actors even had disdainful expressions on their faces. If it hadn't been a matter of personal concern, they might have criticized Qin.
The wind is blowing.
Of course, there are also people who believe Qin Feng's words, and that is Xuanxuan's manager Xie Qin. She knows some of Li Ran's identity and background. For people like them, it is not impossible to spend tens of millions to make a movie!
lazy
"Xuanxuan, what about... what about our agency contract?"
Xie Qin no longer dared to talk to Qin Feng and could only pretend to be pitiful to Xuanxuan. In fact, she knew very well that if Qin Feng really invested, her brokerage contract would be a piece of waste paper.
You know, the money an agent makes comes from the performance remuneration of her actors and some endorsements. If Xuanxuan is not afraid that the movie will not accept endorsements, then she will not make a penny.
"Sister Qin, you also know that making movies is my dream..."
Although Xuanxuan was not sure whether Qin Feng could really afford the 50 million, for Li Tianyuan, she could no longer use Xie Qin. She said apologetically: "Sister Qin, I will find a way to compensate you financially.
of……"
"No, you can't burn bridges!"
Xie Qin suddenly screamed. She had accepted several endorsement ads for Xuanxuan. With these ads, she could earn hundreds of thousands of dollars. If Xuanxuan didn't sign, she would suffer heavy losses.
"Are you considered a bridge?"
Qin Feng glanced at Xie Qin, shook his head, and said: "Brother Ran, let's go. This movie is not interesting. It's okay not to watch it. Just go home and sleep."
"Hey, brother Qin, what's going on? The movie is about to start."
Before Qin Feng finished speaking, Shen Jun happened to hear him as he pushed in the door. He had seen Li Ran and Qin Feng entering the lounge before, but now he took the time to lead them into the cinema to take their seats.
Seeing Shen Jun come in, Li Ran pursed his lips at Xie Qin and said, "Junzi, my brother asked Xuanxuan to terminate the contract with her agent. The eldest sister is a little unhappy."
"Brother Ran, what's going on?"
Shen Jun was confused when he heard this, but when he called out Li Ran's name, everyone in the conference room suddenly showed shocked expressions on their faces.
Shen Jun's film company has become the most prosperous film and television company in China after producing the Lunar New Year series a few years ago.
And Shen Jun himself has become a well-deserved giant in film and television. Almost everyone who works in the entertainment industry feels a little inferior when they meet Shen Jun, because they all seek help from Boss Shen.
But for such a powerful figure in the film and television industry to be so respectful to a young man like Li Ran, everyone couldn't believe their ears.
"It's nothing. Brother Qin wants to invest in a movie and let Xuanxuan be the director. Doesn't this mean he terminates the contract with his agent..."
Li Ran casually recounted what had just happened. He knew that Qin Feng's "True Jade Workshop" was a cornucopia, so he didn't take the 50 million investment seriously. The children of the aristocratic family still have such a little vision.
"Oh? Xie Qin, is that what happened?" After hearing Li Ran's words, Shen Jun's eyes flickered and he looked at Xie Qin sternly.
"Mr. Shen, you... you have to help me." Xie Qin no longer had the previous aura and put on a pitiful look.
"Everything comes out of your mouth, and you don't know how high the sky is."
Shen Jun sighed and said: "You and Miss Xuanxuan should terminate the contract tomorrow, otherwise you will never be able to use your stars to film my movies again..."
With Shen Jun's eyesight, how could he not tell that Xie Qin had offended Qin Feng?
But in the final analysis, this matter has something to do with Shen Jun, because the reason why Xie Qin was so confident before was because she had slept with Shen Jun and thought that Shen Jun would support her.
But when choosing between Li Ran and Xie Qin, Shen Jun didn't hesitate at all and directly sent Xie Qin to the cold palace, knowing that she felt like she had fallen into an ice cave and was covered in ice.
"Yes, Mr. Shen, I know what to do." Biting her lips, Xie Qin agreed with a trembling voice.
Xie Qin is also a smart person. He knows that he has offended someone who cannot even afford to offend his backers. If he persists, he will really not want to be in the entertainment industry in the future.
"Brother Qin, don't let this little thing affect your mood. Let's go watch a movie. There will be a celebration party later..."
After Shen Jun talked about the matter in an understatement, he extended an invitation to Qin Feng. Let’s not talk about whether Qin Feng had any family background, but spending tens of millions to help Xuanxuan practice filming, that’s not the case.
It's something that ordinary people can do.
"Well, okay, then I'll bother Brother Shen..."
As the saying goes, people carry people in sedan chairs. Shen Jun settled Xuanxuan's agent contract with one sentence. Qin Feng still wanted to give him this face. He nodded and, accompanied by Shen Jun, entered directly from the passage of the conference room.
Arrived at the cinema.
The seats in the theater are also very particular. For example, the seats reserved for Li Ran and Qin Feng by Shen Jun are in the middle of the fifth row. This is also the most comfortable position in the entire theater.
Premieres in this era were not as complicated as later ones. Before the movie was screened, the main creative staff would not go on stage to meet the audience and the media, so the movie started not long after Qin Feng and others sat down.
