World-class directors in the entertainment industry

[Those Years] This movie was announced to cost 25 million.

China Film invested 2.5 million, accounting for 10% of the share, and was one of the investors.

The Qin Empire paid for the remaining 17.5 million, accounting for 70% of the total cost.

Qin Dong uses the director's fee plus the script, converts the investment, and directly shares 8% of the total box office.

China Film is responsible for distribution and takes an 8% commission.

Youth campus movies are not recognized by the current mainstream, whether it is major entertainment companies or the general public who watch movies, so China Film Group does not attach much importance to them.

The reason why I want to invest is to invest in Qin Dong, not this movie.

Therefore, there is no strong requirement on the amount of investment.

With China Film's investment, Qin Dong rejected other companies. He knew it was a profitable movie, so why should he give more to others.

If it weren't for distribution and the need for help from China Film for some future co-productions, Qin Dong would have wanted to go it alone. Although he doesn't have the size now, he still has ideas.

It is said that the cost is 25 million, but how much is it actually? As a producer, Qin Mo is very knowledgeable.

...

"Come on, continue shooting."

We started filming [Those Years] on March 20th, and it’s now the end of April.

Most of the filming has been done, and Qin Dong expects it to be completed in less than a month.

This kind of campus film requires less space, and most of the scenes take place in the school. As long as the actors' acting skills can keep up, the progress will definitely be fast.

....

Kyoto.

In a certain community, Yang Huami’s parents’ home.

"Mimi, what's happened to you recently? You're so distracted."

After dinner, Yang Ling took Yang Huami to sit down on the sofa in the living room and asked with concern.

"What's wrong? Mimi, what's the matter with you? Talk to dad."

When Yang Lin heard this, he immediately stopped washing the dishes and ran to the living room to look at his daughter with concern.

"I'm fine."

Yang Huami looked at her parents' eyes and lied.

"You lied."

Yang Huami's father, Yang Lin, was a policeman by profession. He immediately noticed it and made it clear without giving his daughter any face.

"Tell me, what's going on? You've been like this since you came back from the island. Is it possible that you really have something to do with that director?"

Yang Ling's mother was a teacher, and she showed off her attitude as a teacher educating naughty and troublesome students.

Having grown up under this kind of education, Yang Huami was frightened, thought for a while and said:

"Dad, Mom, I want to ask you something."

"Tell me, how much money can your daughter earn in her lifetime by pursuing this career as an actress?"

Yang Lin and Yang Ling were stunned. They looked at each other, feeling a little confused. What was the problem?

But after all, they had eaten salt and walked on many bridges. The two old men did not say anything immediately, but thought for a while and thought about their daughter's problem.

"I remember that you took over the filming of the TV series of Magic City Sugar Man Company before. At that time, it was 50,000 per episode."

Yang Ling is a teacher and a mother. She is very careful about this matter. At this time, she started to analyze it without hesitation:

"But it's been more than a year, and your reputation has grown. In addition, the price of food in the vegetable market is now high. It is now estimated to be around 70,000 to 80,000 to 100,000 per episode."

"Mimi, mom doesn't know why you asked this question, but if your daughter asks, mom will do the math for you."

"We'll take the best-case scenario and you'll slowly become popular all the way."

"Two TV series a year, adding up to 60 episodes. According to a woman's golden age, you can still be popular for more than ten years."

"According to the laws of economic development and inflation, if your average income is 400,000 per episode, it will be 24 million per year."

"Including some movies and endorsements, let's calculate more, 36 million a year, let's round up the figure."

"Not counting taxes, you will earn 60 million a year. In ten years, it will be 780 million."

"Coupled with the inevitable decline as you age, you will earn about one billion in your lifetime."

"This is the most ideal situation, Lao Yang, what do you think?"

At the end of the sentence, Yang Ling looked at her husband Yang Lin and asked.

"I, I think what you said makes sense. What you said should be similar. I think these are the results of the most ideal calculations."

Yang Lin thought for a while and expressed his stance like this.

Her husband agreed with this view, and Yang Ling turned to stare at her baby daughter:

"Mimi, can you tell mom now, what's going on with you these days? What's on your mind that you can't tell mom? Why don't you drive your dad away?"

Yang Lin was innocently affected.

"No, dad, don't leave."

Yang Huami spoke quickly. It was not a private matter for women. She stopped her father, Yang Lin, who was about to leave. After thinking about it, she finally said it:

"Mom, Dad, someone gave me a contract."

"A sky-high contract."

Yang Ling is a careful mother, and she usually pays a lot of attention to her daughter. Although she is not from the entertainment industry, her daughter is, and a mother naturally needs to pay attention and understand her. She frowned when she heard this:

"A sky-high price contract? Mimi, you are an actor. Your contract should be an appointment with an agent. Where did you get the sky-high price?"

Brokerage contracts are based on profit sharing. The exact amount of money earned depends on how popular the artist is. If the artist becomes popular, the salary will be higher and the artist will earn more.

"Mom, it's a guaranteed contract, and it's for life."

"That person offered me a guaranteed contract worth 1.5 billion."

As soon as these words were said, the eyes of the parents, Yang Lin and Yang Ling, suddenly widened and they could not recover for a long time.

Don't look at it, they just thought that their daughter could earn one billion in her lifetime.

That is the most ideal situation. Yang Huami’s daughter is always popular, and inflation is taken into account.

Think about it, Yang Huami took over the filming of a TV series last year for only 50,000 per episode, and this year it will increase to tens of thousands at most. Unfortunately, there are no scripts for her yet.

1.5 billion, what is the concept, you will know it by comparing it.

"Who? Is he a liar?"

Yang Lin made a professional mistake and immediately became suspicious.

Yang Ling didn't say anything and stared at Yang Huami, wanting to know the answer.

"I'm not a liar. As you know, it's Qin Dong who spread the scandal with me last month."

Now that she had said it, Yang Huami had no intention of hiding it and started speaking out.

Such a major event disturbed her mood. No matter what the outcome was, she wanted and had to discuss it with her parents.

"That director, Mimi, please tell Mom about the matter in detail."

Yang Ling thought about the scandal and it was she who called her daughter to remind her.

"Okay, but you have to keep it a secret. There are some things you can't tell anyone. Didn't I terminate the contract with my old club before? Many companies contacted me privately before the contract was terminated last year..."

"..."

"..."

"That's it. I actually thought that Qin Dong would make movies very quickly and make money on the first one. I thought this guy was different and wanted to have a chat with him and leave a way out. I didn't expect that he would fire me in the end.

Issue such a contract."

Yang Huami kept talking for more than ten minutes, even telling her about the movie plan that Qin Dong had bragged about to her.

Yang Lin sat on the sofa, lit a cigarette, and rubbed his chin:

"This kid doesn't like you anymore, does he?"

When Yang Ling heard this, she knew what her husband meant. She only had one precious egg, which she held in her mouth for fear of melting and held in her hand for fear of being touched. Of course, she thought her own child was the best, but she still reached out and slapped it.

husband:

"What are you talking about? If you spend 1.5 billion to like someone, do you think your daughter is the sun?"

This made Yang Huami unhappy:

"Mom, what do you mean, I'm still not your biological child?"

Yang Ling rolled her eyes at her daughter:

"No, you gave it to me by charging your phone bill."
