The razor advertisement planned by Chen Feng has a budget of less than 500,000. In this way, as long as this advertisement is approved by Langli, it can earn more than 19 million.
Of course, if the other party does not approve, Chen Feng's advertisement will have to be reshot. However, in Chen Feng's view, this possibility is very low. Because this advertisement was moved by Chen Feng from the original time and space, and at that time, this advertisement was
Won praise from many people.
This commercial was actually not difficult to shoot. Chen Feng only had a few lines. There are two versions, the long commercial is 45 seconds and the short commercial is 15 seconds.
There is a 3D animation of a razor, which lasts about ten seconds. Chen Feng asked Su Qian to inquire about it. Under the premise of ensuring quality, the cheapest one only costs 100,000 in 20 seconds. It is quite cost-effective.
In addition to the props and scenery, it is expected to be completed within 50,000 yuan. The other post-production has been packaged to Fan Dongping, and the only character in it is Chen Feng.
In this way, excluding the remuneration to Fan Dongping, the cost of this advertisement is only less than 150,000 yuan. It is really stingy to the extreme. Of course, if Chen Feng's personal remuneration and Fan Dongping's remuneration are included, the cost will be at least 150,000 yuan.
It's over a million.
More importantly, this ad was produced with very good results.
Chen Feng spent a day shooting his own shots, and then handed over the 3D animation to the design company, which was completed within two days. During these two days, Chen Feng also created a light guitar song as the background of the advertisement.
Of course, the main reason for this is to save money. Soon, you will have to pay to use other people's songs as background music in your advertisements.
This brisk guitar song is really Chen Feng's own creation, and he did not copy the original music. Now that he has proficient guitar skills, it is not difficult to create a brisk guitar song.
Finally, Fan Dongping spent a day in post-production to combine the two versions of the advertisement. After Chen Feng read it, he pointed out some areas that needed to be modified. Fan Dongping spent another day making modifications according to Chen Feng's requirements.
Within five days, the advertisement was completed.
Chen Feng can be considered striving for excellence, which is comparable to when he made his first movie. After all, there were only commercials that could last up to 45 seconds.
After finishing the advertisement, Chen Feng did not hand it over to Langli Company immediately. After all, the time agreed with the other party was half a month. If he handed it over to them so early, even if the advertisement was excellent, it would not be good in their eyes.
If you think there is something wrong with the quality, or if you feel that the money given is too much, you can simply reject it and let Chen Feng reshoot it.
Therefore, Chen Feng planned to wait until two days before the deadline was due before handing over the work.
In the past few days, Susie has also created a blacklist headed by Tianhe Media.
Compared with the information obtained from Xia Binghui, this list is considered relatively reliable.
Tianhe Media, Feihua Entertainment and Pangu Entertainment currently have 258 signed artists, including those who have not yet debuted, 125 of whom have debuted, and 76 of whom are second-tier or above. They are relatively close to these three companies.
There are 7 small companies that we cooperate with. There are 67 artists signed by these seven companies, and 28 people have made their debuts. Basically, they belong to the second and third tier.
In addition, there are also celebrities who work with these three companies in the name of their personal studios. Among them, there are five people who are relatively close. They are all first-line celebrities.
In short, if the number of people on this list is calculated, it would be as high as more than 300 people. It would definitely be difficult for a small company like Summit Entertainment to block so many people. The effect it can achieve is definitely not very ideal.
But if their company wants to grow bigger and stronger, and if it wants to show the outside world that it is not easy to mess with, it is still necessary to do this.
Apart from anything else, if there are good movies from Summit Entertainment in the future, the artists and companies of these companies will be blacklisted, which means that they will completely lose the opportunity to participate in the movies.
In addition, it is impossible for Chen Feng’s good songs to be sold to these companies and their artists.
In the future, as Chen Feng's popularity and influence further expand, and Summit Entertainment further grows, the power of this blacklist will become more and more powerful.
After getting the blacklist, Chen Feng held an impromptu high-level meeting in the company.
After everyone read it one by one, everyone expressed their opinions.
"It is very necessary to create this blacklist. I think it can be made public anonymously on the Internet. This will pose a certain threat to them. Especially, it will slap the sky and the media in their faces."
As Chen Feng's nominal assistant, Li Dazhi participated in the meeting and was the first to express his views.
Liu Gan objected: "If we do this, I'm afraid it will have a certain negative impact on our company."
Li Dazhi smiled and said: "There are definitely some negative impacts, but I think the positive impacts will be greater. At least in this way, if someone plots against us in the future, they must weigh it carefully and let them know that we are not easy to bully."
"I agree with Dazhi's approach." Jia Yong actually became tougher this time, "Since we have gone to such great lengths to create such a big blacklist, we can't just keep it within our company. We must make it known to the outside world.
Revealing it will have a certain deterrent effect."
Fan Dongping nodded directly and said: "I agree."
Li Kai also expressed his position: "I also agree."
Su Qian also agreed: "I also think Dazhi's method is good. Just expose it anonymously on the Internet. Don't use the name of any of us, let alone the name of the boss."
Seeing this, Liu Gan said helplessly: "Since everyone thinks it's feasible, I have nothing to say."
Of course Chen Feng also supports the spread of this blacklist in his heart, otherwise there is really no need to make it specially. Do you want to show it to yourself?
"Then it's decided. You will be responsible for this matter, Dazhi. However, don't worry, it won't be too late to expose it anonymously after "Crazy Stone" is released. I will let you know when."
"Okay, Master."
"Okay, the next topic is to invest in the filming of "The Barber". The budget given by Li Kai is 5 million. What do you think?"
Not long after Chen Feng came back this time, Li Kai couldn't wait to hand him the book "The Barber". The content of the story is very simple, it tells the story of a ninety-year-old old barber. This is a perfect one-step art film.
Or biopics and dramas.
Such a movie is bound to have a hard time hitting the box office. More importantly, Li Kai has no box office appeal. At least not so far.
Chen Feng raised this topic, and the conference room suddenly became quiet. Everyone looked at me and I looked at you, but no one spoke. The main reason is that everyone knew that Li Kai was filming a compensation movie before signing with Summit Entertainment.
One by one, and they are all art films.
They have all read the script, and in their hearts they are actually opposed to the company paying for such a film that is obviously going to hit the streets.
It's just because of face, of course, it's hard for everyone to directly oppose it.
Seeing that everyone was silent, Li Kai of course understood everyone's attitude. He looked a little embarrassed, but he still broke the silence and said: "I know that this book will probably lose money if it is shot. But I think if it is shot, it will definitely be
A good movie. Originally, I promised my boss that I would make two blockbuster movies before I could make the movie I wanted to make. However, this book is really rare because it is based on real people.
I want the old barber in this book to act in real life, and he is 93 years old this year. If he is in bad health, where can I find such an old barber? So, I can’t afford to wait, so I can only do it as soon as possible.
Take a photo of this book."
After Chen Feng coughed dryly, he urged again: "Everyone, let's talk about it."
Seeing this, several people looked at each other, and it was Jia Yong, the vice president, who finally spoke first: "Old Li, I can understand you personally. But from the company's perspective, if you still want to film knowing that you are losing money, this
It’s not charity. It’s really...making it difficult for the company to do it.”
Li Dazhi also followed up and said: "Director Li, I also think it is inappropriate to go ahead with the filming knowing that you are owed money. Five million is not a small amount."
Liu Qianze said: "If the cost can be controlled within 1 million, I think it can still be shot."
Li Kai said a little discouraged: "I want to invite two first-line actors to star. Even if the salary is lower, the two people together will still cost two million."
Fan Dongping frowned and objected: "I don't think it's necessary to hire celebrities for a film like this. It would be better if it were original and more touching."
Li Kai lowered his head and pondered for a long time, then said: "That's okay. If it is shot in the form of a documentary, try to use the original characters to star, and the cost should be controlled within 2 million."
Chen Feng heard this and said: "Okay. I will grant you 2 million and give you another month to finish filming. After that, I will give you a TV series to film. Do you have any objections?"
Li Kai was stunned for a moment, then nodded happily and said: "No, no objection, I can definitely finish the filming within a month. Thank you, boss."
Except for Chen Feng and Li Kai, the others were a little speechless when they saw this. They all thought that Chen Feng would not pay for Li Kai to take the photo, but they did not expect it. Although the price was reduced from 5 million to 2 million, this
Two million is money, and personally speaking it is not a small amount of money, so I just threw it into the water.
In fact, Chen Feng still admires Li Kai in his heart, because of his persistence and persistence in making art films. In addition, from the director of the movie "Crazy Stone", we can see that he is a very talented and thoughtful director.
It was only because of his paranoia that his previous life was very miserable.
Even if it is just to win over his talent, Chen Feng is willing to spend 5 million to let him make this art film. Of course, Chen Feng is not short of money now, which is also a very important factor.
In addition, Chen Feng does not want to be blinded by money. Now that he has made a lot of money, wealth can only be regarded as a number to him. There must be some other pursuits. As a filmmaker, there is always
You can’t always pursue box office, you must also pursue art.
Investing in Li Kai's "The Barber", knowing that it would lose money, is undoubtedly a pursuit of art. This includes Chen Feng himself and Summit Entertainment.
As long as the script is good enough, Chen Feng is even willing to continue to shoot Li Kai's art films in the future, for no other reason than to improve himself and Summit Entertainment's artistic style. This will distinguish him from other colleagues who are full of copper odor.
and peer companies.
Li Kai was very touched that Chen Feng agreed to film "The Barber". After the meeting, he stayed alone to thank Chen Feng.
After this understanding, Chen Feng took Jia Yong and Su Qian to Tiandi Pictures and signed a film distribution contract with Tiandi Pictures. The movie "Crazy Stone" was officially
Authorized to be distributed by Tiandi Pictures.
Because the brands of Chen Feng and Summit Entertainment are quite loud now, Tiandi Pictures made a big concession in terms of sharing this time. Otherwise, the two parties would not have negotiated for so many days.
Because of the box office miracle of the previous film "Charlotte", the cooperation between the two parties this time cannot be calculated according to the previous "Charlotte" agreement. It is just not easy to make Tiandi Pictures make concessions. Jia Yong and Su Qian are both useless.
It took a lot of effort. In the end, the two took the initiative to go to another company to negotiate, and finally forced Tiandi Pictures to make concessions.
After signing the contract, the schedule was quickly determined, and it was set for May 1st, the May Day prime time release. In less than half a month, it will be released.
During the period before the release, the preliminary publicity work will begin. There is no need for Chen Feng to personally take part in this aspect. According to the current celebrity status of Summit Entertainment, Jia Yong and Su Qian contacted each other by phone, and various provincial satellite TV stations expressed their willingness to invite "
The creators of "Crazy" on their TV show.
Although there are no stars in the movie "Crazy", the star cast is worse than in the original time and space where there was a bald guy.
But in fact, the investment in this movie was twice that of the original Time and Space. What's more important is that Chen Feng is also the producer and screenwriter of this movie.
And Chen Feng is now the most famous gold medal screenwriter and the highest-grossing director in China. With this alone, the box office appeal is no worse than that of the original time and space.
Of course, the more important thing is the quality of the film. Chen Feng feels that it is better than the original film.
Before the movie is released, Chen Feng, as a producer and screenwriter, is of course obliged to help promote it. Not to mention that he is also an investor in the movie.
Therefore, Chen Feng will go to two TV stations to participate in programs in succession. This program arrangement was arranged by Su Qian when Chen Feng went abroad before.
The first one was Beijing TV Station, which participated in their popular talk show "Tell Your Story." This is one of the top ratings TV stations in China, and the show "Tell Your Story" has always had very good ratings.
The second TV station is the National TV Station, which goes without saying. It is the most authoritative and influential TV station in the country. I want to participate in the production and filming of their "People" issue.
The program "People" uses a documentary format to showcase the most cutting-edge talents in various industries in China. Each issue records and tells a story about a person. Each episode is 30 minutes long.
In short, if you are not a high-end figure in a certain field or industry, this column will not invite you to participate in filming and production.
