Huayu is free to do as you like

Even the filming phase of the movie is complete.

Lu Yang will take all the filmed materials to China Film to find a master in the editing department to edit the materials.

The material goes through several processes of rough cutting, fine cutting, fine editing, plus post-production, soundtrack, subtitles, etc., before the final film is truly formed.

Of course, the whole process cannot be separated from the director's participation, because all decisions must be made by the director.

These have little to do with Gu Wei. According to the early contract with China Film, [Gu Wei Studio] will have partial suggestion rights during the later release period.

He is now waiting for Lu Yang to complete the post-production and produce the movie, and then the studio will communicate with China Film about the distribution and release.

When Gu Wei brought Zhang Tianai back to the capital, it was already September and his second semester at the college had begun.

After getting off the plane, the company's car was already waiting to pick them up outside the airport.

"My dear, I will take you back to your residence first. There are still some things to deal with at school. We will contact you after we finish."

Gu Wei said in the car.

Zhang Tianai rents a house in Beijing. Although she has graduated from college, she is just a young actor who is below the 18th line. Her main income is from being an advertising model, and the roles she has played since she started her career have all been minor roles.

The supporting role in "Xiuchundao" this time is already the best role she has ever received.

Soon the car drove to the downstairs of Zhang Tianai's house, and the two reluctantly separated.

"Mr. Gu, should we go back to school or the company." The driver's name is Zhang Long, a full-time driver recruited by the studio for Gu Wei. He is in his 40s and a veteran. He is very honest and rarely talks.

"Master Zhang, let's go to the company first."

Arriving at the company, manager Yang Liwen was looking at the crew bills brought back by the finance department.

As one of the investors [Gu Wei Personal Film and Television Studio], although it is not the main controller and is not responsible for the production of the film, it is necessary to arrange a financial person to enter the crew and monitor the crew's income and expenditure.

These were all written in the contract with China Film Group in the early stage. After all, it is too easy for the director and crew to make money from making movies.

There is a lot of room for maneuver here. If not talking about anything else, there are a lot of considerations when it comes to costumes and props for acting, how much they cost, where to buy them, and whether to rent or buy them.

For props and costumes worth 1 million, the director would quote 5 million, find a company of his own, and make an account of 4 million, which is a reasonable and legal way to pocket it.

Just like Chen Kexin, a great director in Hong Kong, when he makes a movie, he charges 6,000 US dollars for a straw hat. After the whole movie is shot, no matter how the box office is, whether the investors lose money or not, the director will make a lot of money anyway.

Although Gu Wei believes in Lu Yang's character and China Film's professionalism, in business, he should be a villain before being a gentleman, and he should do the necessary supervision. Naturally, no one has the courage to reach out, which is good for everyone. .

"How's the bill? Is there any problem?"

Gu Wei sat across from the agent and asked

"I took a quick look, and there should be no problem. Some projects cost surprisingly little money. Director Lu Yang really spent all his money wisely."

Yang Liwen sorted out the bill book and replied.

“I have trust in your senior brother’s character and abilities.

In terms of the post-production and distribution of the movie, you have to do a good job in docking with China Film Group. Although we are not the distributor, after all, the investment share is very high. If the movie does well at the box office, it is also a good thing for us. "

"Our company currently has no media resources. When the movie is released soon, we will try our best to promote it online."

"Understood" Yang Liwen replied

"Mr. Gu, I have something to ask you for advice. I have contacted some of my old contacts because the movie you are shooting is still waiting to be broadcast and you are not well-known in the industry. Some TV drama crews are only willing to give male 3 or 3 male Audition opportunities for 4 roles.

Do you go to see these plays? "

Gu Wei took a few scripts and looked at them. They all had names he had never heard of before.

He frowned and said

“I have rejected all these dramas and will wait until [Xiu Chun Dao] is released before I come back with scripts.

How are you doing with the copyright I asked you to collect before? "

Yang Liwen says

"I'm just about to report this to you. The film and television adaptation rights of the novels you mentioned earlier have been partially collected. But in recent years, as long as they are popular novels, the copyrights have increased dramatically, and there is not much money in the company's account. ”

He said handing over a file.

“Then there is Gu Man’s [A Slight Smile Is Alluring], a Shanghai company is also negotiating the copyright.

The previous copyright fee for "Why Sheng Xiao Mo" was sold for 1 million. Now the two companies are competing. Gu Man has raised the price to 1.5 million. The company in Shanghai is still hesitant. Mr. Gu, do you think we should buy it? "

"Buy it at this price. It's okay to tell Gu Man and sign the contract as soon as possible." Gu Wei made the decision directly.

"But Mr. Gu, the money in our company's account is no longer enough."

"It doesn't matter. I'll figure out a way with the money. You can contact Gu Man as soon as possible."

"Okay, Mr. Gu."

Originally, at the beginning of June, the studio had less than 5 million yuan on its account. In more than three months, after collecting and purchasing some film and television rights, it only had more than 500,000 yuan left.

Gu Wei looked at the price of Bitcoin. It has been skyrocketing since the beginning of the year. Now it has reached the stage of 10 US dollars. Selling all of them now would solve the problem.

But Gu Wei knows that next year will be the year when Bitcoin starts to skyrocket. By the end of 2013, it will rise to a maximum of 8,000 yuan per coin.

Although there were ups and downs in the following years, the overall trend was upward. At its peak, it reached over tens of thousands of dollars a piece. If you sell it now, it would be like losing the watermelon and picking up the sesame seeds.

[Xiu Chun Knife] has not yet been completed, and it will be some time before it is released, let alone dividends.

In fact, there is a way, which is to use the copyright of "Xiu Chun Dao" and the expected movie profits to go to the bank for a mortgage loan.

In fact, since the filming of "Hero" in 2002, Zhang Weiping has obtained loans from international financial institutions. By 2004, domestic commercial banks also began to get involved in this field. "The Night Banquet", "A City of Gold", "Assembly", "October Siege" and other films all have bank credit funds involved; "Tangshan Earthquake" received a 120 million yuan loan from the Industrial and Commercial Bank of China, and "Jinling Thirteen"衡》obtained a 150 million yuan loan from China Minsheng Bank.

The Bank of Communications in Beijing is a cooperative bank of China Film. As long as it is a movie produced by China Film and the procedures are complete, it is easy to get a copyright and pre-revenue pledge loan.

“First prepare our company’s certificates and some contract documents for investing in [Xiuchundao].

Come with me to China Film Studio later. "

Gu Wei said

After getting his things ready, Gu Wei took his agent to the China Film Building.

I found Deputy Director Han who was in charge of the "Embroidered Spring Knife" in the film and television department. Deputy Director Han was in his 40s and graduated from the directing department of the college. He just entered the system after graduation. He has been pursuing an official career in these years and has not developed into an artistic path. .

Deputy Director Han was very enthusiastic. As soon as he entered the door, he stood up and shook hands with Gu Wei.

"Xiao Gu is here. Lu Yang is editing the film downstairs right now. I saw the rough cut of the one you shot [Embroidered Spring Knife]. Is it a good shot?"

"No, thank you for your strong support, Director Han. Without your support and support in manpower and material resources, Senior Brother Lu Yang and I would be able to drive a few nails even though we are made of iron."

Gu Wei said with a smile

"I came here today to ask Director Han for a favor."

After hearing this, Director Han looked at Gu Wei, "Tell me what it is. Logically speaking, you are also my junior brother. If anything happens, as long as it does not violate the principles, my senior brother must help me."

"That's it, Director Han. The main funds of my company have been invested in [Xiu Chun Dao], and now there are new projects. Isn't there no money left? I want to use the copyright I own on [Xiu Chun Dao] Use the pre-earnings as collateral and borrow some money from the bank.”

Director Han smiled and said

"This is all a trivial matter. China Film Group has a bank that cooperates with us, and "Xiuchungdao" is a film produced and distributed by China Film Group, so the bank can be trusted.

Let me introduce you to someone. He is the vice president in charge of loans at the Bank of Communications branch. His surname is Guo. Once you have prepared all the procedures, just say it was introduced by me, and the interest rate will be calculated based on the interest rate of China Film’s previous cooperation. "

"Thank you so much, Director Han, you have helped me a lot."

Director Han said

"It's nothing, these are all small things. If you make the movie well and have a good box office after it is released, it is the greatest support for me."

Please recommend me, give me monthly votes, and beg you readers for your support.
