Chapter 329 Thank Chen Dashao for his support of Huaxia Films! Four thousand words!)
The investment cost of 15 million would definitely not be enough if an ordinary director shoots Westward Journey.
You definitely can't find an ordinary person to play the leading actor Zhizunbao, right? You have to at least find a first-line star, and he must have top-notch acting skills, preferably a star with movie star potential...
How much does such a star get paid now?
It’s not expensive, just over 10 million, probably…
If you choose those movie stars.
Haha, if you don’t have 20 million, you don’t even need to talk about it...
And the key point is that even if you find those movie stars, they may not necessarily follow your wishes, right?
After all, everyone who actually wins the best movie award has his or her own set of ideas...
Leaving aside the male lead, the next issue is the female lead. Lu Yuan plans to shoot the upper and lower parts of this movie together.
The heroines Zixia Fairy and Bai Jingjing can't be played by people with inferior acting skills. If they really want to be authentic, then they must find some capable and obedient actresses.
Apart from anything else, the salary of these two heroines alone must be at least tens of millions, right?
There are also other important supporting roles in the movie, other characters, special effects production and a series of money-burning gadgets...
After all this, how could the total investment of 15 million be achieved?
How to shoot?
Take a shot with your head?
This is simply an international joke, okay?
Even if it is actually filmed, it will still have the effect of a bad domestic film!
However, if these things are placed here, it won't be a big problem. The male protagonist can handle it by himself. Fairy Zixia asked Xu Lu to come. After working with Xu Lu once in "Groundhog Day", Lu Yuan felt quite satisfied. This girl's acting skills are amazing.
And he is very obedient, and at the same time
The remuneration is easy to negotiate. Lu Yuan estimated that it would be only one or two million. The other heroine Bai Jingjing would be a little more difficult to deal with. Lu Yuan planned to listen to Yan Ying for any good recommendations. He planned to
With new people, it is estimated that the maximum number will be one million...
The male lead's salary is zero, and the female lead's salary is three million!
Now that the most important aspects have been solved, aren’t other things enough?
supporting role?
And isn’t Fatty Wei very busy lately? Is it okay to ask Fatty Wei to come over and make a guest appearance for free, and provide a lunch box for everyone to express his interest? Although Lu Yihong is a bit busy, it’s okay to ask him to take the time to come over and play a guest role, and he himself
The company's artists also include Shen Zhiwei, Wang Long...
Wang Lung looks silly, but in a sense he is quite funny. If his acting skills are up to standard, it would not be a big problem to let him play a cameo as Tang Monk...
These are all resources, and they all need to be integrated!
Other little tricks?
nonsense!
Do you need to worry about other extras? There are so many people waiting in Hengdian.
Lu Yuan dares to say that he has paid for his role in "Westward Journey" and the queues for temporary extras such as "Westward Journey" can be queued from Hengdian East Street to West Street.
After Lu Yuan made such a plan in his mind, he had the entire basic team planned for "Westward Journey" in an instant.
So if you think about it this way.
Fifteen million is indeed about the same, but the special effects cost a little more.
However, Lu Yuan's plan was far from keeping up with the changes!
When Lu Yuan saw countless people holding tens of millions of dollars, sharpening their knives and preparing to buy their own advertising sponsorship spots...
Lu Yuan instantly felt lost.
Yes!
It's really hard to lose your driver's license, but...
This is nothing compared to the temptation of glittering gold and the happiness that comes from time to time with a faint fragrance in the air.
"Mr. Lu... I am Li Cheng from Weiteng Sanitary Ware Company, Mr. Lu. I sincerely want to establish a long-term cooperation with your company..."
"Mr. Lu... I am Liu Shaoan, the deputy general manager of Changtong Industrial. Mr. Lu, I would like to buy you an advertising space for a movie screening with 10 million. Is that okay?"
"Mr. Lu... we are quite sincere, we are willing to pay 10 million to buy..."
"..."
After everyone outside "Remote" Entertainment saw Lu Yuan coming, everyone was extremely excited...
Countless investors.
Countless reporters.
And countless...
banknote!
…………………………
In fact, these investors actually want to invest in the film itself.
After all, after investing in this movie, with Lu Yuan's current popularity and appeal, combined with the strong box office results of the "remote" company during this period, they felt that they would definitely not lose money, and they might even make a lot of money.
pity……
They consulted Wu Tingting as soon as Lu Yuan posted on Weibo to see if they could inject capital, but Wu Tingting's reply was very disappointing...
It is impossible to invest in the movie "Westward Journey" and share the box office. The "remote" company has an unwritten rule. Basically, all the movies the company wants to make are invested by Mr. Lu himself, and other people are not accepted for the time being.
invest……
After receiving this notice, the investors immediately cursed one or two words, saying that this small company is more powerful than Tianyu and Joaquin, and only fools will invest in your movies in the future.
But when they woke up the next day and heard that a group of people were going to sponsor the advertising space for "Westward Journey", they rushed to the door of "Remote" Entertainment and waited nervously and expectantly to bid.
The beginning of...
Yes, bid!
There are dozens of people competing for advertisements worth tens of millions, including Chen Cong, the second generation of rich people, and Qian Fuqiang, the deputy general manager of Lu Yuan who endorses "Dole" sports equipment...
Although……
Chen Cong seems not to be here today...
But this is also an invisible pressure.
In short, this auction is full of excitement, but I don't know how many advertising spaces "remote" entertainment will open...
afternoon.
"Remote" entertainment conference room.
Although the air conditioner and ceiling fans were working hard, everyone present felt the sweltering heat.
Yes, it's muggy.
More than ten people are crowded into a thirty-square-meter conference room, and it's summer. Who doesn't feel hot?
Many people were sweating profusely and felt extremely uncomfortable, staring at the air conditioner from time to time...
They even doubted whether this air conditioner was a second-hand air conditioner. After all, the effect of this air conditioner was too bad, right?
Of course, this is just their suspicion.
They didn't think Lu Yuan would install a second-hand air conditioner in his conference room.
After all, is Lu Yuan short of this little money?
"Thank you everyone for supporting my new movie. I'm really grateful to everyone, and I feel a little flattered at the same time. In fact, everyone's arrival surprised me. To be honest, I actually didn't consider placing advertising space in the movie.
Yes, after all, as a real filmmaker, I have always regarded pure movies as
For the Lord... But, your enthusiasm and sincerity really moved me. Well, after my team and I thought about it again and again, we decided to insert two advertising spaces at the beginning of the film this time..." Lu Yuan came in from the house and watched.
Afterwards, the faces of the dark crowd showed a hard-to-choose expression, as if they had made a very difficult decision.
When everyone heard this, their eyes lit up, and then they felt a little stressed.
Two advertising spaces?
So many people...
How to divide this?
In fact, the advertising spaces in Lu Yuan's movies are indeed like this.
Each movie only has an advertisement for a "Newbuck" suit, and the others don't even have any sponsor information at the end of the film.
They didn't understand "Newback" before, but since Lu Yuan's vice president was exposed, these people all understood it and showed a hint of ambiguity.
"Mr. Lu, Weimao Sanitary Ware is willing to pay 10 million to buy your advertising space!" Just after Lu Yuan finished speaking, a middle-aged man from the Mediterranean jumped in and said this sentence without saying a word: "We Weimao Sanitary Ware are willing to pay 10 million to buy your advertising space!"
Sanitary ware is well-known throughout China and also has a certain reputation overseas..."
"Mr. Li... your Weimeng sanitary ware is so famous, but you still lack publicity? Mr. Lu, our Guangliang Clothing is willing to pay 11 million! At the same time, we are willing to provide the crew with all aspects of clothing use at cost price...
"Mr. Lu, I am Xu Fu from Zhongshan Trading. Mr. Lu, our Zhongshan Trading covers many resources in various aspects, and we have certain connections in various countries... I am also sincere in coming here this time. I am willing to
On behalf of the company, we will contribute 15 million..."
"What? Fifteen million? Lao Xu, you have to think carefully about whether the money you invested in Zhongshan is worth it. You might as well take this money and retire... In short, um, Mr. Lu, we in Hua Ning also
Are you willing to pay this price, Mr. Lu, our Huaning Cable actually..."
"..."
On the surface, Lu Yuan looked calm and unmoved, but in fact, Lu Yuan was completely dizzy.
Yes!
He could hardly stand.
Just choose any advertisement to sponsor, and you won’t need any money to make the movie. You can just shoot it for free!
Damn it!
Can he not faint?
At this moment, he realized that the advertising industry was actually so profitable and...
So high!
In the future, can I make a movie with built-in advertisements everywhere?
At this moment, Lu Yuan had this idea in his mind!
"Mr. Lu, we are also very sincere. I am willing to pay 16 million..."
"I am willing to pay 17 million..."
"..."
Lu Yuan became even more dizzy after hearing this voice.
Yes!
He originally thought that the advertising sponsorship would be only a few million, maybe 10 million at most...
but……
Now one advertising space costs 17 million!
Damn it!
Not going crazy yet?
Lu Yuan felt like his head was buzzing, as if...
It’s as unreal as a dream!
"Mr. Lu... I am willing to pay 20 million in sponsorship advertising fees!" Qian Fuqiang shouted without saying anything, stood up with his chubby body, and looked at Lu Yuan with very firm eyes.
Through his understanding of Lu Yuan these days, he knows that Lu Yuan likes to be straightforward and doesn't like to make things up.
So he directly quoted his reserve price!
After he finished speaking, everyone fell silent...
Yes, silence!
Twenty million for a sponsored advertising space...
This is really...
It’s sky-high.
Even if these people are very capable, they can only invest around 17 million at most.
Although the difference between 17 million and 20 million is only 300...
But in fact the concept is completely different.
Lu Yuan's expression remained calm, but his heart twitched violently, and the feeling of unreality became even stronger.
When he decided to make a decision about Xiao Qian, the door to the conference room opened.
"Sorry, I'm late, Mr. Lu... I don't know how the meeting went, but I plan to give you 30 million in exchange for an advertising space..." Mr. Chen took off his sunglasses, and his face showed a slight smile.
A smile looked at Lu Yuan.
Thirty million is like a small amount of money in his mouth.
At this moment, he looked extremely pretentious.
This moment...
His body seemed to be emitting a golden light again...
"..."
silence!
At this moment, the entire conference room became even more silent!
Thirty million!
A sponsored ad for a movie?
Are you afraid you are crazy?
That’s not how you burn money. You are so pretentious...
"..."
boom!
Lu Yuan's head exploded!
Yes!
Exploded.
When he looked at Young Master Chen again, he actually felt that Young Master Chen's handsomeness was already irresistible to him. Even if she were a woman, he would probably fall in love with her immediately...
Thirty million!
Damn...
Make a fortune!
Lu Yuan looked at Mr. Chen silently...
He couldn't resist his handsomeness, his handsomeness, his charm.
However, he feels that he is a person whose money is like dirt.
"Young Master Chen, actually, I am a pure filmmaker..."
"I know, but there is always investment in making movies. I am just contributing to our Chinese film industry... I hope the special effects can be better and live up to the classics..."
"Well, I am really touched by Mr. Chen's love for the film industry..."
"This is what I should do. After all, I am also Chinese..."
"I am very moved by what the young master said!"
"Where, where..."
"Mr. Lu! I also support Chinese movies very much. I especially like those magical movies!"
At this time, Qian Fuqiang also walked over dragging his fat body with a serious expression on his face.
Although……
This guy never watches movies.
"Yes... yes... thank you both... By the way, I also want to thank you all... thank you for your support. I appreciate all your kindness..."
"..."
"..."
…………………………
Venice International Film Festival.
The lights are bright.
All eyes are on you!
Li You stared at the stage and everything...
"Congratulations to director Li You for winning the Grand Jury Prize at this year's Venice Silver Bear Award for "Bicycle". Congratulations!"
