Chapter 103 Buy the equipment yourself

"The annual box office champion is announced, and emerging director Tang An won the 2005 annual box office champion with "Terror Cruise"!"

"The summer melee has come to an end, and "Terror Cruise" won the summer championship by beating "Seven Swords", "Initial D", "Mr. and Mrs. Smith", "Madagascar" and other films!"

"The next master, how far is Tang An from Zhang Yimou?"

"Single-handedly supporting domestic horror films, the master of horror deserves the title!"

“The box office of four summer movies exceeded 50 million, and the total box office reached a new high in recent years!”

"Overview of the domestic film market in 2005: Martial arts is global, but the Chinese martial arts world seems to be different from others. It has the unique culture and temperament of the Chinese people. Before the release of "Seven Swords", it carried the hope of the revival of martial arts movies.

, but the result made everyone sad! The box office in one month of release was only 66.38 million!"

"As the number one fan movie of the year, "Initial D" is by no means unsuccessful. With its super cast and brilliant stunts, it earned more than 60 million at the box office during the summer season, creating the legend of Akina Yamamoto!"

"Two highly anticipated Hollywood blockbusters were originally the highlights of today's summer vacation, but they failed to achieve the expected results due to the back and forth attacks of "Initial D" and "Terror Cruise"!"

"The biggest dark horse this year is undoubtedly the new film "Horror Cruise" directed by Tang An. At the beginning of its release, Tang An boasted that the box office would exceed 100 million. Although it was not realized, Tang An once again proved himself to the world with a horror film that won more than 80 million at the box office.

The title of Master of Horror!”

...

The summer vacation is over, and the summer vacation has passed.

With the school year starting in September, the domestic film market has entered an unprecedented off-season.

Throughout the beginning of September, there were only a handful of movies released in theaters, and we had to wait until the end of the month for the National Day movies to start competing again!

The discussion about several summer movies is almost over.

As the early publicity for "Myth" begins, the attention of the media and the audience is focused on Cheng Long's new film.

On September 5th, Tang An brought Xu Manyun to China Film and Television, intending to divide the money that had been settled by the theater chain first.

Going directly to Han Sanping's office, Tang An first congratulated him on his decision to take over as chairman in early 2007.

"Director Tang, there is no need to be so polite between us. It's not certain yet!" Han Sanping waved his hand and continued.

"I've already asked the finance department to calculate your share. Just go there directly. The procedures over there have been completed. Just sign!"

"Thank you so much, Director Han. I've already finished half of the storyboard, and I'm just thinking about starting preparations!" Tang An quickly expressed his gratitude.

Box office sharing is a troublesome thing, especially in this era, when various theater chains, and even the cinemas below, can do it for you.

But people say that the specific statistical results haven't been released yet, so there's nothing you can do about it.

Generally, it’s pretty good to be able to get all the profits within half a year after placing the drawing, and the publishing company will also drag it out for months, doing whatever they want with the money and not making more money.

Tang An thought, if it wasn't for his youth and unlimited potential, it might not have been so smooth.

Without waiting much, he simply asked Xu Manyun to go to the finance department to go through the formalities first, and he started chatting with Han Sanping.

Watching Xu Manyun leave, Han Sanping laughed and said, "Is Director Tang just so impatient to wait?"

Tang An smiled bitterly and said, "Director Han is joking. Now the studio has more than 2 million yuan left on its books. I also plan to purchase a batch of shooting equipment!"

"Director Tang, are you ready to buy your own equipment? These things imported from Europe are not cheap!" Han Sanping frowned and said.

If Tang An buys his own equipment, then China Film Group will spend real money to invest in it!

"I didn't have much money before, so I kept borrowing equipment from Director Han. Now that the financial situation is a little better, of course we need to purchase a full set of equipment, and we can't just borrow it all the time!" Tang An explained.

Han Sanping didn't say anything. If you have money, it's still cheaper to buy equipment than rent it.

Even if you buy a complete set of equipment imported from Europe, you can almost get your money back after renting it seven or eight to nine times.

"That's no problem. I'll ask the logistics to make a list later. See if there's anything you want to add!"

Han Sanping made a call, and soon a small leader from the logistics department came over with a small notebook.

Tang An took it and took a closer look. It was made by a first-tier European manufacturer, and even if it went through China Film Channel, it would cost nearly 2 million!

Apart from the five or six cameras and lenses, at least three 8.5-meter electric jibs must be prepared, and three or four rail cars with straight and curved rails of more than 6 meters must be prepared.

Tripod sliding casters, outdoor mixer, outdoor LCD video monitor, blackout flag, reflector...

As well as a large number of lighting equipment such as 1200W moving head computer light, 500MW animated laser light, 3*54 cast aluminum PAR light, LED high-power infinite sword, 24-channel digital dimming console, 1024 computer light console, digital silicon box, etc.

Although the unit price of nearly ten types of lights is not very high, at least 20 units of each type must be prepared, which is still a large number.

This is still the most basic equipment, and does not include the loss during the shooting process, especially the most expensive film.

We are still five or six years away from the arrival of the digital age. With the technology of the next few years, there are still obvious differences between what is captured by digital cameras and film cameras.

"Okay, just click here to help me purchase. You can prepare more equipment that is easy to wear and tear!" Tang An said, putting down the list.

This batch of equipment can be used for five or six years after purchase. It will be time to replace the digital equipment at that time, which is more cost-effective than leasing.

After saying this, Han Sanping became interested in Tang An's new film.

"Director Tang's new film is still the science fiction film, the story of Superwoman?"

"Yes, I have been preparing for a long time and am fully prepared. This will be a unique science fiction blockbuster!" Tang An said confidently.

As he spoke, he took out a script from his bag and handed it over.

Although I didn't understand Tang An's thoughts, I didn't persuade him.

When Feng Xiaogang was about to film "The Night Banquet", Wang Zhongjun was so talkative that he still couldn't make Feng Xiaogang change his mind.

Every successful director is actually stubborn and does not change his mind easily.

After 15 minutes, Han Sanping read the script three times in its entirety before putting it down.

"This is supposed to be an action science fiction film, there won't be too many special effects..."

After stopping to think about it, he added, "Is it still about the heroine?"

Speaking of this, Han Sanping felt that he couldn't understand Tang An.

Three movies in a row have women as the absolute protagonists. If I hadn't known that Tang An was not a womanizer, I would have thought it was for **********

"There is already an American counterpart to Superboy, and if the protagonist is a female, it feels more novel and has more selling points!" Tang An explained.

"As for special effects, there are very few big scenes, they are all fragmented, and the cost will not be too high!"

After talking about the direction of the film and the crew's preparations, Han Sanping decided to invest in post-production and special effects. The specific amount and proportion of distribution will have to wait until Tang An officially establishes the project. All costs can only be decided after multiple evaluations. After all, Wang Zhongjun

The sides should also be divided a little!

In the end, Tang An left China Film with his initial share of 8 million.
