Little Farmer Big Star

Li Fan smiled and said, "What can give Mr. Hector a headache?"

Hector said: "That's it, Mr. Li Fan. A week ago, I attended a Hollywood film exchange meeting. It was just a small exchange meeting, but there were many directors, actors, and film investors present. , there were even reporters at the scene.

At the exchange meeting, everyone talked about the topic of "using small things to make a big difference". It means using a low-cost investment in exchange for good box office results.

One of my old competitors, Daryl, said, ‘If there is a movie with an investment of less than 1 million yuan, is it possible to earn more than 20 million yuan at the box office? ’

I said, 'Of course it's possible, there can be a market for small-budget movies. ’

Daryl said, 'I don't think that's possible. For a movie with an investment of less than 1 million yuan, the final box office return is already very good. The best case scenario is just a small profit, hundreds of thousands of yuan, or 1 million yuan. There is no way it will earn more than 20 million at the box office. ’

Daryl was my old rival, and I didn't have a happy relationship with him. After hearing what he said, I started arguing with him.

After a while of arguing, he said, 'Hector, since you're so sure about this, we might as well make a bet. You invest in a movie with a budget of less than 1 million yuan, and then get back a box office of more than 20 million yuan. If you do it, you will win. If you can't, you will lose. How about we bet 1 million yuan? ’

After hearing this, I took it on impulse and started this bet with Daryl.

Then, when I calmed down, I realized it was extremely difficult, almost impossible. There are many movies with a budget of less than 1 million yuan, and I can easily invest in such movies. But the box office...

I have to admit that Daryl is right. Those movies are very good if they can finally make back their money. It is almost impossible to achieve a box office of more than 20 million.

But now that the bet has come into effect, I don’t want to lose to Daryl. A million dollars bet is a small thing, but many directors, actors, film investors, and reporters were present at the time. Now that this matter has spread in the United States, I don't want to lose.

So, I took the initiative to publicly say, who has a movie with a budget of less than 1 million yuan? Show it to me and I'll invest if it's suitable.

Within a few days, I received dozens of movie plans with a budget of less than 1 million. Some of them looked pretty good, but I was really not optimistic about the final box office.

After much deliberation, I can only come and trouble Mr. Li Fan about this matter. "

"So that's it." After hearing what Hector said, Li Fan smiled and said, "What Mr. Hector means is that he wants me to make a movie with a budget of less than 1 million yuan and then invest in it? "

Hao Ketuo said: "That's true. Only Mr. Li Fan's film can do this. Of course, this investment is different from the past. This time I don't care about the box office. I just ask Mr. Li Fan to let me invest." ”

Li Fandao: "It doesn't matter whether we divide the box office or not. The important thing is that I have no plans to launch a movie recently. Besides, Mr. Hector, an investment of less than 1 million yuan can be exchanged for a box office of more than 20 million yuan. The difficulty is really not that great.

Not to mention other things, 1 million yuan is probably not enough even to hire actors. Unless we hire some fourth- or fifth-tier star actors. Don’t even think about actors who are third-tier or above. "

Hector sighed: "That's true. If you are a first- or second-tier superstar actor, relying on your own popularity, you may be able to pull in a portion of the box office. Millions are still possible. For actors who are small stars..."

Li Fan said: "So, it's difficult! It's difficult!"

Hao Ketuo said: "It is really difficult, so Mr. Li Fan is the only one who can do this kind of thing. I also ask Mr. Li Fan to take action. As for remuneration, no matter what remuneration Mr. Li Fan needs, as long as it is within my ability Within the scope, I agree.”

Li Fan smiled, he could see that Hector was sincere. But he doesn't need any big rewards. Hector is very rich, worth at least hundreds of millions of dollars.

But this little money is nothing to Li Fan. Even if Hector uses all his worth as a reward, Li Fan may not like it.

However, Li Fan did not directly reject Hector, but thought about it in his heart, was there such a movie among the classic movies in his previous life?

If anything, he wouldn't mind helping Hector.

One is because he has a really good impression of Hector. Secondly, he was somewhat interested in the matter itself.

Thinking about this, Li Fan really thought of a movie that had a pretty good reputation in his previous life, with a small investment and good box office results.

If it were brought to this world, there should be no problem with a box office of 20 million yuan.

After thinking about it, Li Fan said: "Mr. Hector, I can create such a movie. If the actors' remuneration is lowered, the total investment will not cost 1 million yuan. However, the director, actors, and crew need to be paid by Hector first." Go find it yourself. Of course, I can check it appropriately during the filming process.”

Hector was overjoyed after hearing this. In his opinion, if there is one person in this world who can help him win this bet, that person must be Li Fan.

Now, Li Fan agreed. He couldn't control his excitement and said repeatedly: "Thank you Mr. Li Fan for taking the initiative. This time, all the box office revenue will belong to Mr. Li Fan, and I don't have to get back the investment cost. In addition, Mr. Li Fan needs You can ask for any kind of reward, as long as it is within my ability, I will be satisfied."

Li Fan waved his hand and said: "Mr. Hector is serious. I don't need extra remuneration. For box office, I will give 10 points to Mr. Hector. There should be no problem in getting the cost back."

"Mr. Li Fan, this... this..." Hector felt that this was inappropriate. Li Fan agreed to take action, and he was already extremely grateful. How could he still share the box office?

Li Fan said: "That's it. Mr. Hector will stay in the village today, and I can give you the script tomorrow morning. It's up to Mr. Hector to make any arrangements."

Hector hurriedly said: "Okay, okay, I'm so grateful. Thank you Mr. Li Fan."

Li Fan smiled and signaled to Hector that this was not necessary, and then continued to accompany Hector to visit the farm.

When it was getting late, Hector was invited to have dinner in Xianyuan Building and the room was arranged.

Then I went home and spent half an hour writing the script.

This is a very simple yet heavy story. I hope it can get a good box office.
