As for Xu Zheng, at that time he immediately vowed: "Don't worry, director, I will stick to it till the end. I chose a topic like comedy, which is a genre I am better at. You said it was my first time making a movie."
If you don't make a subject that you are good at, you will be in trouble with yourself, so it must be a comedy movie, which is absolutely correct.
Originally, it would have been difficult for me to make a movie and change my career, but now I feel like I have an opportunity.
How about the two of us collaborate, I'll find a script and you can direct it, and then the two of us will make a comedy movie that can include Uncle Da and the others.
At this time, Ye Ming shook his head and said: "I'm afraid this is unlikely, because after all, I still have to go to school, and he can't go out to film during my freshman year, right, so I have no choice. If I wait
If I have passed my freshman year, this should be no problem.
Or wait until I'm on vacation, but I guess you can't wait. Judging from your eagerness now, I guess you will turn it on soon, right?
I definitely can’t do it as a director. Other things can be discussed, such as guest appearances, or investment. I have said these before, and they are not non-negotiable."
At this time, Lao Xu followed this train of thought. He also hoped to strike while the iron was hot, so he hoped to quickly assemble a crew and then start filming quickly.
Therefore, Old Xu smiled honestly and said: "I forgot, boss, you still have to go to school. It's really a pity. However, I hope that the boss can play a cameo role in the movie, which can be regarded as supporting my filming."
When it comes to investing, I think my boss will definitely give me a hand. In this regard, there are not many people in the entertainment industry who dare to invest in my own movies."
Regarding this point, Ye Ming didn't say much, but nodded and said: "Okay, since you said that, I won't say anything more. Just based on our relationship, there is definitely no problem in making a guest appearance.
When it comes to investment, I need to read the notebook. If there is no problem with the notebook, then there will be no problem with anything else.
Having fun alone is not as good as having fun with everyone! The box office is so good that it is very normal for Ye Ming to treat everyone to a meal. There are also those bonuses from Internet trolls. In fact, what if this matter waits until the box office division is completed?
, there is no problem if you give them more money. But because the money is split at the box office, it is impossible for him to settle the accounts immediately after the movie is released. He must have a cycle.
However, Ye Ming didn't want those Internet trolls to wait in vain for him, thinking that he would let them default on their debts, so Ye Ming directly transferred the bonuses that those Internet trolls deserved in advance to
Thanks to them, everyone has a happy cooperation this time. If we cooperate next time, as long as Ye Ming says hello, those Internet trolls will definitely flock to us.
This is the principle behind what is once familiar and what is familiar twice.
When everyone has learned to use Internet trolls to promote their works, whoever uses it more effectively at this time will depend on who has a better relationship with the Internet trolls. So, Ye Ming is also a little bit
Make some preparations in advance.
After the dinner party at the hotel, as her assistant, it was the first time for Yaya to participate in such a celebration banquet. She really felt that Ye Ming, as a boss, seemed very grand. The celebration banquet had a box office of over 100 million.
Yeah, it was her first time to participate, so this also made Yaya admire Ye Ming a little more.
However, after all, Yaya is a newcomer who has just started, so some things are not done particularly well. Sometimes, it is necessary to prove that oneself solves the problem, but, this is more or less for
A kind of exercise for Yaya.
Everyone was a newcomer. By the time they left the hotel, they were already blushing from the fun.
However, because it was in a hotel, it was a public place after all, and at this time, Ye Ming was very aware of the paparazzi, but they were staring at him, so it was just a verbal advantage.
, there are no other excessive actions.
After all, you need to be a little more careful in public places, especially since he has just become famous. Many people are waiting for him to make a mistake. At this time, Ye Ming will not give away his excuses easily.
Although these two are no longer Ye Ming's managers, at this time, he is still a little worried about Yaya. After all, he is a newcomer, and some things are probably stressful, and he may not be able to just do it.
He did it immediately after getting started, so this time, Zhao Yazhi also followed Ye Ming home.
At this time, Ye Ming said while driving: "Sister, are you a little worried?
But you can rest assured that there will be no problem, so why should you be worried?"
Zhao Yazhi, at this time, said with some worry: "It's not that I don't trust you, but I'm afraid that I won't be able to do something. These two words have been deceived by you.
For example, if you discuss investment issues with Lao Xu in a hotel, you dare to agree to invest in him without going through market research. Do you know how many people Lao Xu has found to become a director?
Most of the entertainment industry has been scouted by him, but in fact, everyone is not very optimistic about him. Although his acting skills are very high, but let her be the director, it seems like this kind of thing
, it is impossible for him to attract everyone's attention.
So, he was basically in a state of looking for funds for that project at this time, and I knew more or less about his project. It was a relatively simple comedy.
Anyway, according to my own feeling, once such a book is produced, it will definitely lose money at this time, right?
I dare not say whether it will make money, and I may not be able to see it. However, it is easier to guess whether this movie will lose money after it is produced.
Because I have seen its essential content, both in terms of logic and rationality, it is slightly lacking, and even its rationality is not as good as what we do in nightclubs.
So, Lao Xu's comedy is basically just a few jokes or cross talk mixed together. It can be regarded as a hodgepodge. It may not be regarded as a real movie script, it can only be regarded as a hodgepodge.
So at a time like this, it's normal that he can't find anyone else to invest in him, but for you to actually agree to invest in him, it's a little out of control. Although he helps us shoot nightclubs, we don't want him short of money.
Ah, right?
This is a two-way choice, which means that we must invest in his book. When the time comes, once we lose money, we will become the target of ridicule by others, because after all, we have just entered the industry, and we are considered newcomers, so in
Here you should try your best to avoid making mistakes.
Good guy, our last movie just made a profit, and this movie is directly losing money. How will others see us? So, I’m a little worried if I don’t watch you. He
After all, I am a newcomer, so I am a little limited in how I can cope with such a situation.
That is to say, he is an agent who has been working for two months longer than him. However, at this time, I can still master some skills more or less.
At least I think if I were there, I would persuade you.
Yaya, remember, if the boss talks so casually with others again in the future, you have to remind him not to let him make such hasty decisions."
At this time, Yaya followed behind and immediately wrote it down in her notebook. This was Zhao Yazhi's experience, so naturally she had to remember it well.
At this time, Ye Ming said with a smile: "There's no need, don't be so nervous. Although I agreed to Lao Xu's investment, I didn't say anything to death. I just told him to bring the book and let's
Have you ever read this book before?
If the book fails, let’s talk about investment. So although I agree to his investment, there are preconditions. I have to see what the book in his hand is like and what kind of photo he wants to make.
comedy movie.
I will not invest in him until we feel that he is ready to invest, so although I promised him to invest, I did not promise him to invest immediately, nor did I say that I would support him unconditionally.
Don't worry, I won't be dazzled by victory. Good guy, I finally succeeded once, so of course I have to be more cautious at this time."
At this time, Zhao Yazhi nodded and said: "That's fine, you have to calm down, otherwise I would have thought you were carried away by the victory.
Yaya, you just took over, and the boss’s agent’s work may not be familiar to you. Nowadays, many advertisers, including variety shows, movies, and TV series, will still call me. So, let me first
I won’t accept other variety shows, advertising endorsements, movies, etc. for the time being.
Even if some cooperation is really finalized, it will only be two weeks later. I will take advantage of these two weeks to take you to see how you handle some of our boss's matters.
After two weeks, you will be able to get started with these things. Then, I will work on other things. This is when I talked with those people. Some of the contracts have already stipulated that it is basically two weeks.
Start later.
The boss is now looking for you to invest in a lot of investment projects. I have received 6 projects in the past two days. It is even said that some big companies, such as the three major entertainment companies, have extended an olive branch to us. I hope
If we work together to make a movie, they will invest.
All you need to do is be the director. And the conditions given are relatively generous. As long as you name the lineup, they will find a way to find it for you.
Moreover, in terms of investment, it is only said that an accountant will be arranged to supervise the use of these funds, but when it comes to artistic creation, those companies say that they will not interfere with your artistic creation.
So, I hope that I can have an interview with you and have the intention to further develop comedy films.
So, I would like to ask you to clarify one thing first, that is, how we will take the next step.
We have invested in Lao Xu's movie, what should we do with the other movies, and the three major entertainment companies, they want to cooperate with us, how do we respond to them, these are all things you must do as early as possible
decisive.
Otherwise, good guys, we might offend everyone inside and outside, and that would not be appropriate."
At this time, Ye Ming shook his head and said: "Sister, you should understand in your heart that originally, our movie, I didn't expect it to have such a high box office and such a high return on investment ratio.
Yes, this is completely beyond my expectation. In my opinion, in the end, making three or five times as much money is considered very good.
But I didn't expect that the box office would be so good this time. It was a complete surprise, you know?
In fact, the number I set for this box office is between 20 and 30 million. Within the scope of my understanding, if it exceeds this number, especially if it exceeds 50 million or reaches 100 million, then I have no idea.
There's a solution.
Because such a box office is basically out of my control. So I know what level I have. If you really give me such a crew with an investment of 30 to 50 million or hundreds of millions, I may not be able to control it.
Come on I don't have that much experience.
So, I think those people are completely following the trend and trying to flatter me, so I will tell you about this book. You can accept any book without any problem. If you think it is suitable, you can also try to buy it out.
one time.
However, we will not let you know if we cooperate with them next. No matter who comes to us with a book for cooperation, if he can pass me, we can buy this essence at an appropriate price, but cooperation
You don’t have to think about it when making a movie.
Just let it out. I still have to go to school. It's not right. It's impossible to go out during the freshman year in the film school. If there is an opportunity to make a movie or TV series, Lao Huai won't let us go out.
So in such a situation, we should consider this issue carefully.
We can't be dazzled by victory, thinking that we have made money, then we will definitely be able to make money in the next movie? Impossible, so we must guard against arrogance and impetuosity. Don't think that we have made a lot of money this time, then we will
If you are proud and complacent, you think you can control and lay the foundation.
This is a process that requires slow accumulation. If I were to control a large crew with an investment of 50 to 60 million, then at this time, I would need at least two or three movies to hone my skills.
This is still in the middle and there will be no other changes. So just tell those people that if there is a good book, maybe we will buy it, but there is no need to cooperate, at least in the last one or two years.
I have no intention of continuing to be a director.
If there is a suitable role, if they can persuade the teachers and leaders of my film school, then there may be a chance to cooperate. However, I will not easily direct movies anymore, because I know how capable I am.
The movie "Nightclub" has such a high box office and a lot of success, because there is an element of luck in it."
