Mission Flow

Cao Su looked at Jia Zihao.

Jia Zihao is a fine individual, otherwise he wouldn't be able to become a peripheral company of Hong Kong capital. Dapeng's current situation is a bit uneven.

If there is no work, his fans are very popular on the Internet. Generally, talents from film schools do not have the level and popularity of his drama.

Let’s say there are works, after all, web dramas are not serious TV dramas, and the price cannot be opened.

He suggested: "Mr. Cao, according to Director Dapeng's market, give him a film salary of 1 million + 1 share of box office dividends. We mainly use the funds for filming."

From his point of view, he has never seen Cao Su's vision in film and television investment. So even though Cao Su said he was optimistic about the script, he still remained cautious. Then a common practice is to bundle the director and the movie income.

In fact, domestic directors' remuneration is rarely tied to box office dividends. In the past, directors worked with wages, plus big red envelopes from the boss. It's over when you're done filming, and the devil doesn't care how much you sell at the box office.

The film market used to be small! That is to say, Feng Pants' Lunar New Year comedy can have a box office of over 100 million.

Now the box office of domestic movies is gradually rising, all actors are good and directors, anyone can be a director, and what is directly done is the work of the producer. The films are all shot by themselves, so it doesn’t matter how much the director’s salary is, It is roughly the same, and the interests are divided directly according to the box office.

Dapeng was a little happy in his heart. This exceeded his expectations! He is currently working at Sohu Video. The salary is 8k. Shoot a movie, and you can earn it back in a few months!

Yun Wenhao and Wei Jianyu smiled. This is the current domestic industry atmosphere. A huge, chaotic game jungle! There is no uniform rule, only a general range, and the amount of income depends entirely on how you negotiate.

Cao Su calculated in his mind, and said: "2+3! Two million film salary plus 3 box office dividends.

Director Dapeng, I am very optimistic about this movie! I think it will do well at the box office. I hope to create a good reputation, that is, Qianyuan Culture is willing to share the benefits with all outstanding directors.

Yun Shao brought money into the group, he will be the producer of this movie, and he only gets 5% of the proceeds. "

Dapeng quickly made a statement, stood up, raised his glass and said, "Mr. Cao, this salary is beyond my imagination. Thank you very much for your investment, and thank you very much for your importance to me."

Cao Su smiled and nodded, and clinked glasses with Dapeng, "Director Dapeng, happy cooperation! You can talk to Yun Shao about the rest. Qianyuan Culture will prepare the contract. Tomorrow, we will be in the office of Qianyuan Culture in Wangjing Hold a press conference for the launch of the project at the venue."

Only he himself knows how much money he just sent out. 10 million! But what he wants is the reputation of buying horse bones with thousands of dollars!

During the time he was in the capital, he had figured out something. The production mode of the domestic film and television industry still lags behind that of Hollywood. The big companies over there are all engaged in distribution, financing, theme development and so on.

And big domestic companies are looking for good projects!

And this determines that in the multi-party interest game, the proportion of directors and actors will increase!

Therefore, the domestic film and television industry is now properly a director-centered system. It is even evolving a bit into an "actor"-centric system. Nowadays, the appeal of many traffic actors to their fans is unparalleled!

Because of this, the film company's constraints on the director are very weak! With money to make, who wants to honestly work for a big film company? Wouldn't it be good to invest by yourself, become a producer, and participate in movie box office dividends?

Therefore, the road of Qianyuan culture's development and growth cannot be like the entertainment network, which constantly recruits and trains excellent directors. The actor has a brokerage contract, but he might get it! But the director is impossible.

Probably only like Huayi, who bought the company of Feng Pants with a large sum of money, and then gave a performance bet: let him make a few films in a few years,

And the profit must meet the standard, otherwise you will lose money.

In such a big environment, we can only cooperate with the director!

However, Cao Su had a premonition that the capital in the film and television industry was absolutely unwilling to have their profits divided by directors and actors. Will come up with new tricks! What exactly it is, he has no way of knowing. What he wants to do is build up his monopoly empire!

Although the environment in the domestic film and television industry is very bad, there are no restrictions on monopoly! Domestic laws now allow a production company to simultaneously set foot in theaters, artist brokerage, and so on.

In other words, as long as someone is willing to do it, it is completely possible to reproduce the self-produced and self-sold model of the Shaw Studios era! A perfect closed loop! Nothing is forbidden!

Of course, Shaw's self-produced and self-marketed model has been proven to be a backward and eliminated model. But what about improvements? What kind of industry giant will this create?

With the current development speed of the domestic film market, it is entirely possible to rival the North American film market! As long as classic movies are made, Qianyuan Culture will reproduce the scenery of Hollywood's top eight! Even more than that!

Yun Wenhao said: "Mr. Cao, I'm definitely not good at being the first producer at my level. Can I recommend an uncle to come over?"

"Can."

Yun Wenhao got up to make a phone call, planning to call the producer over to meet Cao Su. In fact, he already talked about it. He doesn't think that at the age of 24, he can grasp a movie with an investment of 40 million.

It's not that easy to be a producer. Moreover, he was unwilling to run around with the film crew. Filming was hard work.

Cao Su and Jia Zihao chatted about arranging female anchors to act in movies and TV series. "Monster Hunt" has already rejected Cao Su's 20 million investment, bringing Andy into the show, and an agreement to share the box office. Cao Su is now just a small role in front of the big shots in the film and television industry!

Others are not willing to give him excessive dividends! Giving a profit margin of 20 depends on Jia Zihao's years of being in the circle. But Cao Su squeezed profits for 20th Century Fox in Hollywood. The Big Six are monopolized. In the domestic film and television market, he is not immune to such birdishness!

There is one thing to say, the world's film and television industry will cheat investors' money! Don't talk about Hollywood pitfalls, pay attention, Europe is the birthplace of movies, and there are even more pitfalls there. The same is true in China!

This kind of thing is easy to prove. Assuming that the coal bosses who invested in movies all made money, then until January 2014, why did no coal bosses still invest in movies?

The funds are all scammed!

Now the mainstream funds in the film and television industry come from real estate! Wanda Film and Television and Wanda Cinema are the symbols. And, the money of the internet is invading. Ali has cast quite a few films. Tencent is also investing in downhill Huayi Brothers.

Jia Zihao introduced the situation. He plans to leave the TV series to his film and television company "Hero Media" to co-produce, and leave the film to Qianyuan Culture to produce independently. Moreover, he has already got the script and director.

Just wait for Cao Su to nod his head and the funds go in before he can bid. The capital budgets are 20 million and 30 million respectively.

Cao Su flipped through two pages of the script, frowning slightly.

Gao Yuanyuan, who was sitting beside him, graciously helped him pour wine and pick up vegetables. I feel happy. At this moment, her cell phone vibrated suddenly. She picked it up to have a look, her face changed slightly.

"Old Jia, I have asked Director Wei to direct the TV drama project. I have communicated with Director Wei before, and he thinks that if he wants more female characters to shine, the best TV dramas currently produced in China are the current Gongdou drama, and there are still many TV dramas. There are unit dramas like Liao Zhai, and dramas with multiple emotional dramas between men and women, such as marrying the wrong man on a sedan chair.

The price of Gongdou drama has obviously skyrocketed after the legend of Zhen Huan. Therefore, he plans to select a few scripts from American dramas and buy the right to adapt them. Make it again. "

In fact, what Wei Jianyu said to him at the time, there is another consideration, that is, female characters in American dramas are still uglier compared to movies, and the requirements for appearance are not so strict. Therefore, it is suitable for female anchors to perform.

When it comes to movies, these female anchors are easily exposed by high-definition cameras on their faces. The appearance is not enough.

Cao Su never said these words to Jia Zihao.

Jia Zihao's face suddenly turned ugly, and he took a sip of wine in silence. Obviously, Cao Su rejected his idea at this time. And if Wei Jianyu is entrusted with the production of the TV series, where is his position in Hero Media?

Now Hong Kong capital is also talking about collapse. Then his efforts to help Cao Su during this period of time were basically in vain. What is he plotting?

Cao Su looked at the other people at the dinner party and said, "Old Jia, let's go out to smoke a cigarette." Together with Jia Zihao, we went outside the box of the clubhouse and sat down to chat in the spacious and quiet hall on the first floor. "Old Jia, I don't mind if you give yourself some benefits. But your budget of tens of millions is a bit too much, right?"

This old boy is a bit greedy!

Jia Zihao showed a slight dissatisfaction, and said with a cigarette in his mouth, "Mr. Cao, the film and television industry is very expensive now. The production cost is less than tens of millions, and there is no way to produce a finished product. I also hope that the final film and television drama will be able to come out." to sell."

Although he was subdued by Cao Suzheng and followed Cao Su's affairs, but when it comes to interests, he still has to fight. So he had to show his emotions.

Cao Su didn't want to talk to his "little brother", but he wanted to persuade Jia Zihao to continue helping him. Can he find a professional manager in the film and television industry to be more useful than Jia Zihao? That's probably not necessarily the case.

Of course, with the right option, he would definitely replace him.

Isn't there nothing? In reality, where can I find such obedient, easy-to-use management talents who don't care about personal gains and losses?

Difficult!

Generally, this kind of talent has to be cultivated by oneself.

"Looking for newcomers, so many people are eating in the film and television industry, how can the production cost not be reduced? I don't need the movies I produce to be released to theaters, and the TV series to be sold to TV stations. I will set up a long-form video website.

At that time, we can put it on our own video website to watch. Therefore, production costs should be reduced as much as possible. This is not negotiable. "

Jia Zihao lit his cigarette and said, "Mr. Cao, the conditional cost you gave Wei Jianyu just now is not low!"

Cao Su said: "I plan to recruit Wei Jianyu. The conditions cannot be too bad. I will entrust you with the film, and the production cost will not exceed 3 million. At least three female roles must be accommodated."

This is actually a lie. First, Wei Jianyu is Ji Xiaoya's biological father, and he is actually giving some benefits. Second, Wei Jianyu has works after all, and he is looking forward to them.

Of course, he wouldn't use [Item Detector] to scan these two items. One scan is 10 million. This money can be used for filming.

Jia Zihao sighed: "Mr. Cao, it's very simple. Change the script of Xu Zheng's love call transfer a few years ago, and it can accommodate 7 or even more female characters. It's your production cost. ..."

Cao Su interrupted him, "Old Jia, this matter is settled like this. If you feel that the cost is not enough, you invest yourself, or take the bottom of 3 million and use the name of Hero Media to operate. I promise Hua Tsai. , you go on to help me.

Also, what are your future plans? Do you continue to engage in your Hero Media, or come to work at Qianyuan Culture? "

Jia Zihao was very aggrieved, hesitated for a while, and said, "Mr. Cao, I will take care of the matter. Leave any questions, let me think about it."

Cao Su nodded, patted Jia Zihao on the shoulder, and went to the bathroom first.

He had just walked through a few corridors when he suddenly heard the sound of Da Meiyuan arguing with someone.
