Chapter 255 Test the ability of [raincoats that like bad weather]! (3000 words!)
Thinking of this, Su Yang called Wang Dong and asked about the film company and the project.
Wang Dong remembers this information very clearly.
He said that the film company is now an empty shell except for this project, but it has a "Commercial Performance License", "Information Network Audiovisual Program Dissemination License", "Radio and Television Program Production and Operation License" and "TV Series Filming License"
(Class A)" and other certificates.
However, these certificates are not used by this company. From the beginning, this company has been engaged in the Internet industry.
In the past two years, several video platforms have fully supported online dramas and online dramas. Therefore, online dramas have small investments, low risks, and high returns.
The same goes for "Fighting Buddha" this time. The total investment is around 5 million (acclaimed 6 million). It already has an S-level rating from iQiyi, various recommended resources, and the highest split price. It will pay for itself.
There is very little pressure.
But this project is not without its problems.
The first problem is that because the boss has changed, all the early money has been withdrawn, and now there is not so much money to invest. The entire project is on hold.
The producer of the project has been asking the company for money to continue filming, but Su Yang didn't show up, so Wang Dong could only hold off.
The second problem is that when the legal department was reviewing the contract, they discovered an investment agreement with a third party, which stipulated that the other party would invest 1.5 million and enjoy 25% of the film. However, the other party did not subsequently invest or sign a termination agreement, so this
There is a dispute over the distribution of profits from the movie.
After listening to Wang Dong's report, Su Yang knew: That agreement was signed by Tang Dafa! Now Tang Dafa has gone crazy and no one will fulfill it.
So Su Yang directly asked Wang Dong to pass all the movie information and producer information to him.
Afterwards, Su Yang gave the information to Xiao Di and asked Xiao Di to evaluate it.
This child has been working on artificial intelligence recently, and she has been stuck in her room every day, living in a coop. Su Yang is really afraid that she will die suddenly in there one day, or that she will become bald when she comes out.
I just gave her some information to distract her.
The next day, Su Yang got up. An evaluation report was already placed on the dining table. Su Yang picked it up and looked at it carefully. Xiaodi spoke highly of this project. In her data calculations, this movie
The chance of losing half is almost only 1%, but the chance of getting your money back is over 80%, and the chance of making money is also 70%. The difference is that you make a big profit but a small profit.
The reason Xiao Di analyzed is also very simple. This project is obviously about selling emotions. From the screenwriter to the starring actors, all actors of the generation who were born in the 80s and 90s were chosen for the whole drama.
Especially the lead actor Chen Min, who was a popular movie star on both sides of the Taiwan Strait and in three places at that time. He has acted in popular TV series such as "Journey to the West", "Dragon", "The Romance of the Gods", etc., and he was the leading actor in all of them!
Although it is no longer popular now, it is still a memory in the memories of those born in the 80s and 90s.
Now that he has come back to reinterpret Sun Wukong, this sentiment alone is enough to attract a large number of audiences to watch.
Of course, because of this, most of the investment in this drama was spent on him. Of the 5 million production costs, 3 million were his performance fees.
You know, the shooting cycle of Internet universities generally only takes 7 to 10 days, so the price is already very high.
The actor who plays Zhu Bajie is also a comedian that people of the 80s and 90s generation like, and he also sells emotions.
In addition, this drama is an S-level contract with iQiyi, and various recommended resources are listed in detail in the contract. The split price is 6 yuan per person, and the producer and director have been in the entertainment industry for many years.
He has seniority, so even if this drama doesn't become a hit, there won't be much pressure to make back the money.
Since Tang Dafa, Wang Dong, and Xiao Di were all optimistic about it, and there were so many advantages here, Su Yang did not hesitate anymore and decided to invest in this Internet drama.
With this in mind, Su Yang contacted the producer after going to the company.
When the producer heard that he was contacted by a new boss, he was so excited that he almost cried. He had signed the contract, everything was agreed, and was about to start filming. However, the boss suddenly changed and the money couldn't come to his account. He was almost dying of panic.
!
So after hearing that Su Yang was paying attention to this project, he came directly to the company.
Under the guidance of the young lady at the front desk, Su Yang met the producer.
The producer's surname is Zhao. He graduated from the Chinese Theater Academy. He has a standard academic background and has rich qualifications. However, he has been working as a drama producer before filming the Internet University, so this movie is an opportunity for him.
It is also a key step in transformation.
After Su Yang chatted with him, he found that he had a clear understanding of the entire film's shooting, promotion, director, and actors, and he was also very clear about the positioning of the entire film.
To be on the safe side, Su Yang even used the [Hourglass of the Memory Maze] to check his memory and confirm that he really wanted to make this movie and had very high expectations for it.
Su Yang was tempted
Sitting on the boss's chair, Su Yang looked at the middle-aged man in front of him and said, "Producer Zhao, we have also talked about the project. I feel that the problem is not big, and I decided to continue the project.
When Producer Zhao heard this, he was so happy that he almost jumped up.
Seeing how happy he was, Su Yang quickly pressed his hand and said, "However, in terms of funds, can we compress it a little more."
Producer Zhao lost his excitement just now and said with a grimace, "Mr. Su, it's already 5 million, and the actors alone are almost 4 million. There are also other employee fees, venue fees, and post-production work. It really saves money."
No way."
Su Yang hesitated and asked, "How much will it cost in the later stage?"
Producer Zhao took out his notebook and said, "We don't have many special effects. We are looking for a small workshop. It only costs about 400,000 yuan."
Su Yang agreed, "Our company will do the special effects for you ourselves. It costs 4.6 million, and you can make the finished film. Is that okay?"
Producer Zhao said, "No problem!"
After saying that, he said cautiously, "Mr. Su, please don't do 50-cent special effects."
Su Yang smiled and said, "Don't worry. It's definitely better than fifty cents."
Producer Zhao:
After finalizing the entire project, Su Yang directly called the Legal Department and the Finance Department to go over the process. Now the related companies of several companies are in charge of these two departments, so it is convenient.
As for money, Su Yang directly deposited all the 10.58 million yuan into the bank, and then transferred 4.6 million yuan to the film and television company's account, leaving only 8,000 yuan for himself!
As the initial fees were transferred from the film and television company's account to the crew's account, Su Yang felt uneasy in his heart.
When we were talking about it, I felt that five million was just a number, but when I really thought about it, I still felt uneasy: I wouldn’t have to pay for it! If I did, I would be heartbroken!
There was no other way, Su Yang could only comfort himself. No matter what, he had completed at least half of the silver task.
Moreover, if you really lose money, the worst case scenario is that you can sell Ferrari and your company can still run.
Thinking of Ferrari, Su Yang also remembered that he didn't even have a driver's license now.
Having just spent five million, Su Yang didn't bother to save money and just signed up for a driving school nearby. He planned to take advantage of the vacation to get his certificate.
In order to save time and for the silver task, Su Yang signed up for a one-on-one coach with guaranteed practice time.
After signing up for the car, Su Yang went out to look at the house again, intending to see if there was any suitable house. As a result, he discovered that Liu Laoliu's house was actually for rent.
Huh? What a coincidence.
Su Yang simply called Liu Laoliu and planned to ask him to talk about the house.
As a result, Liu Laoliu avoided Su Yang, as if Su Yang was some kind of savage beast. He didn't even negotiate the price and gave it to Su Yang at a third lower than the market price.
Su Yang said to sign the contract, Liu Laoliu also said that he didn't have time, they were all acquaintances, so there was no need to bother.
Under Su Yang's repeated insistence, Liu Laoliu finally decided that he would mail the keys over and wait until Su Yang was free to find a contract, sign it and mail it to him.
Um
It seems that Brother Wang, the security guard, said that Liu Laoliu was punished, and indeed he was punished very badly. Even this kind of thing was sent to the same city. He was not afraid of running away with his belongings.
As a result, when he arrived at Liu Laoliu's house, Su Yang realized that he had thought too much.
Liu Laoliu's house had nothing at all. Except for the lock on the door, which had been repaired, all the furniture was shattered on the floor, and not even a complete bed was left intact.
Not only do you have no furniture, you also have to clean it up yourself! No wonder this house is cheap!
Fortunately, Su Yang has the little demon bean.
So Su Yang directly took out the little demon beans from the space, asked them to clean the house, and brought all the garbage back to the virtual space.
Xiaodi said that the virtual space has an efficient garbage recycling and reuse mechanism, so all daily garbage in the villa is disposed of.
Su Yang doesn't have to face the garbage sorting aunt in the community.
After cleaning the house, Su Yang even moved in. He didn't even use it for half a day, and he didn't even use the key.
The key to Liu Laoliu's express delivery was still on the way, and Su Yang had already opened the door and moved in.
Lying on the brand new floor of his new home, Su Yang thought about it. He had invested nearly five million in the movie, how to spend the remaining five million?
Buying a house? The city has purchase restrictions, so you definitely won’t be able to buy it.
Continue investing in projects?
If you don't do research in advance and invest casually, it will be like throwing away money.
So what to do?
Su Yang felt a little distressed for a moment.
It’s hard to make money, even harder to spend money, and it’s even harder to spend money without wasting it!
After thinking for a long time and not being able to figure it out, Su Yang finally decided to let it go for a while. Anyway, there was still a month left and there would be no way to talk about it then!
Su Yang only has this advantage: he has a good attitude.
Soon, the courier from the same city delivered the key to the door. Su Yang took the key and went to get a few keys. Then he went to the milk tea shop and left the key with Xiaochi.
Xiaochi is very happy now running a milk tea shop, but Sanque has been thinking about his health products store. Su Yang has asked Wang Dong to find a location these days, so there is no rush.
After leaving the key and address, Su Yang thought for a moment and felt that he had nothing to do today. Why not go to Longteng Garden to have a look?
However, before going there, Su Yang felt that he should try the [raincoat that likes bad weather] to see what this function is like, so as to leave a way for him to go deep into the dragon's pond and the tiger's den.
With this in mind, Su Yang returned home and took out the [raincoat that likes bad weather], intending to try out the ability of this item.
Testing this ability definitely couldn't involve just one person, so Su Yang called Janet out of the virtual space again and asked him to cooperate with him in the experiment.
Putting a raincoat on Janet, Su Yang asked, "Any tips?"
Janet shook her head.
It seems that it really doesn't work in the room.
Then, Su Yang and Janet each carried a bucket of water downstairs and began to test their abilities along the way.
Soon, when the two came to the flower bed of the community and met some aunties walking, and attracted some strange looks, Janet whispered to Su Yang, "My lord, there is a reminder."
