This director is very reliable

Chapter 201 Preparations (Fifth Change)

Zhao Shan: "The birth of the sketch?"

"That's right... "Today's Happiness" has been discussed by many people on the Internet. Now is a good opportunity to strike while the iron is hot and launch an indoor variety show. It will not only increase your popularity, but also generate income...the best of both worlds!"

"But will the audience be interested?"

"Can you introduce comparisons, teams, two teams, internal PK, and then find professionals to score."

"professional?"

Shen Changlin pondered for a while, and then said, "Let's rate the audience. Comedies and skits belong to the audience, and the judging criteria should also be left to the audience!"

"...Okay, I'll talk to Sister Li about it."

"If it really doesn't work, just play bigger, call the Deyun Club, the Northeast Comedy Team, and the gang headed by Jia Ling, and directly PK!"

This time Shen Teng was also shocked: "It's so big?"

"If you want to play, just play bigger, it's called "Happy Comedian"...the first comedy competition in China to perform in a variety show, the scorers, and the one with the lowest combined score every two episodes will be eliminated directly!"

"... Then it can't be broadcast on BJ station."

"why?"

"Because there is a conflict between BJ Station and Deyun Club..."

"Yes, yes, yes... I forgot about this!"

"Then contact Dragon TV..."

"Can't AH TV work?"

"Since it is done, it must be bigger, it must be a first-line satellite TV!"

Zhao Shan nodded: "Okay, I'll contact..."

Shen Teng and Ai Lun did not speak the whole time...

How should I put it, shocking!
The show hasn't been recorded yet, so you've already chosen a TV station?
This... this is the confidence!
……

"Brother, how many people does Director Shen know?"

"...I don't know, I only know that last year he took a stake in our Twist, our boss Zhang Chen was so happy!"

Twist was originally founded by Zhang Chen, Yu Kai and Tian Youliang.

Tian Youliang is Deng Chao's mentor, and "Sauerkraut on the Emerald Flowers" is also directed by him...

It was founded in 03. At that time, the three people paid 10 yuan each to create Mahua. They originally wanted to make TV dramas directly, but they failed to catch up with SARS. Later, they tried to make a drama. Although they didn’t make any money, their reputation was still good. good.

Later, Tian Youliang withdrew, and Yu Kai bought all his shares with money. Yu Kai became the largest shareholder of Happy Twist, and another person named Zhang Yiwei joined. At that time, the shareholding ratio of Yu Kai was 50% %, Zhang Chen 10%, Zhang Yiwei 40%.

Soon after, the company made a little money, and its scale was larger than before, but it was still a little-known small company.First, Yukai sold part of his shares to Zhang Yiwei, and Zhang Yiwei then sold all his shares to Zhang Chen at a price of 300 million, so Zhang Chen became the largest shareholder.

Shen Changlin invested 5000 million last year and directly took 48% of the shares - he didn't go to the Spring Festival Gala!

Zhang Chen knew that Shen Changlin's energy would definitely bring Ma Hua to a higher level.

Isn't it here?

But he didn't know that the reason why Shen Changlin took a stake in Twist was because he wanted to maintain the style of Twist boutique, instead of trying to make money in later generations...

Twist has launched a lot of shabby online dramas that you have never heard of in the past few years. It is not like the previous Twist style of "unsatisfied, I would rather not watch it".

"...Brother, have you heard that Director Shen is going to make a new movie?"

Shen Teng glanced at him: "I heard..."

"Then why don't you ask him?"

"He said that we are not suitable..."

It was only then that Allen remembered: "Does it mean that your personal style is not suitable?"

"right…"

……

Shen Changlin had considered Shen Teng when choosing the actor of "The Thief"...

But it's not suitable, Shen Teng is a professional comedian, with a comedic color on his body, he is a comedian with obvious style.

After all, "The Thieves" is not a comedy genre. According to the genre classification, it obviously belongs to the adventure and action genre, so don't use him!

Regarding the choice of actors, the original idea of ​​the four members of the Thieves: Deng Chao, Guo Jingfei, Chen Xiao and Rouba...

But I feel inappropriate, not to say that the acting skills are not good...

He felt that there was something wrong with the image of these people...

Especially Guo Jingfei... Guo Jingfei doesn't look like that kind of hypnotist at first glance...

On the contrary, Xu Zheng has that taste!
Chen Xiao...the temperament of being both good and evil is too strong, and the sense of youth is also a bit lacking...

Yang Yang or Bai Jingting...

And the meat...

She is too young, and she feels a little awkward with Deng Chao's CP.

There may be a replacement, who will it be?

As for the fifth place, he is unpredictable, about 40 years old, and has a cold temperament...

After thinking about it in my mind, I decided to invite Liang Jiahui...

For other supporting roles, for example, the big villain has been confirmed to play Jin Shijie, and the police line is led by Wang Kai-this is Zhao Shan's strong request.

After all, Kai Kai made his debut in "33 Days of Broken Love" and is also the eighth elder brother of "Scary Step by Step", so the resources should be raised to a higher level!

Shen Changlin also felt sorry for him...

By the way, the male protagonist of "BJ Meets Seattle" found Kai Kai...

However, what is more important right now is the issue of funding, not that there is no funding - Shen Changlin's movie is also a commercial film, and there are a lot of people who want to invest.

The problem is that there are too many people who want to invest!

……

In fact, the normal process of preparing a movie is to raise funds and then cast the cast...

After all, you don't even have any money, so how can you recruit actors?

In China, on the contrary, most of them get the actor contract first, and then rely on the contract to find investors...

Because you can't explain to them how exquisite the script is and how great the market prospect is, you can only fool investors into giving you money by taking the actor cast.

Many investors outside the circle don’t believe in the so-called type at all, they only believe in big names, if you can find Zhou Xingxing, I will give you 80 million, if you can find Andy Lau, I will give you 60 million.

Of course, there are also those who invest money when they see the director, Shen Changlin is like this.

"Embroidered Spring Knife", "Big Shot", and even the pure drama "Search" had a box office of over [-] million!

Moreover, the overseas copyright of "Search" sold quite well.

No one doubts Shen Changlin's ability in commercial films!

I heard that the fourth movie will return to the entertainment genre, and of course a group of people rushed to invest...

If even a director like Shen Changlin doesn't chase after him, then the Chinese entertainment industry is really a place where idiots are concentrated!

Wanda, Huayi, Bona and Galloping Horse have all sought out Shen Changlin's opinions...

what can he doHe simply shirked everything to the contract with Guangguang...

The initial cost of "The Thieves" is 1.5 million, of which the cost of actors is around 1000 million, most of which are production and post-production special effects...

Light invests 30% - this is the largest share they can get;
China Film Investment 20%;

Changlin Film and Television 30%...

The remaining 20% ​​will be distributed to theaters, media...

Adding up the odds and ends, there are almost a dozen investors.

In fact, if it was before, Shen Changlin would not have worried about the source of funds at all.

The money of Guangguang and Changlin Film and Television is quite clean, and they operate legally!
But now it's gone, a bunch of inexplicable people have started to intervene in film production!

Although it is not as crazy as it was in 2015-in 2015, there were 88 mergers and acquisitions in the film and television industry, involving a total amount of 435 billion!
But Shen Changlin is still worried that someone will use the investment in "The Thief" to hype...

Among other things, is "Ip Man 3" a good movie?
At least not bad!
Let's be honest, the "Ip Man" series is not bad.

Although it is not like "Jing Wu Heroes" that people remember as "textbook fighting", but the "Ip Man" series shoots dramas in the way of kung fu movies and tells stories with kung fu, which makes the audience of kung fu movies break through a small gap. Fans of kung fu movies, such as "one fights ten" appeared on many emoticons.

Moreover, the fighting design of the "Ip Man" series is very sincere!
"Ip Man 3" fully demonstrates Wing Chun's moves, routines, movement norms, and composition.

Although the plot is a bit messy, it has indeed completed the transformation of Ip Man's role of "seeing himself"-seeing the world, seeing all beings, and seeing himself!

It no longer continues the righteousness of the first two films, but returns to the family and the individual itself.

It's a very good work, but it's a pity that the producer and distributor ruined it!
In the distribution chain of the movie "Ip Man 3", in addition to the two listed companies in A shares and Hong Kong shares, there is also "lurking" a guarantee company and a number of P2P companies...

Before the release, it has announced that a total of 1.6 million funds have been invested in the name of guaranteed release, with a guaranteed target of 10 billion.

The calculation is too obvious, to put it simply: high box office stimulates stock prices.

Movie projects become assets and are securitized!

Really know how to play!

Therefore, it is best not to have anything to do with finances like movies...

It's okay if there are no problems, but if there is a problem, the film crew and director will definitely be scolded.

Therefore, he recorded every investor, including the movie channel that invested 1%...

Then Guo Songjiang rushed over with a face full of excitement, talking about the gains he had just met with people: "Internet + film + finance! They told me that we should open up the landscape a little bit when we make movies..."

Shen Changlin was a little speechless, he asked Guo Songjiang directly: "What if I lose money?"

"There are losses and profits in making movies!"

"The problem is that the users who bought the product don't know it. They bought your crowdfunding product with the purpose of making money! And people will think that this is the ghost of the film producer... Let me tell you, when we make movies, we must Be honest and do your duty, don't think about taking shortcuts, if you take too many shortcuts, you will lose sight of the right path!"

Let him decline the offer...

……

Open up the layout a little?
It is understandable that Lao Guo has such an idea. What is the most afraid of film and television production?
Of course, the loss caused the funds to be lost!
That's why he was exploited!
The so-called Internet + film + finance is to use crowdfunding to raise funds for film production-even if you lose money, the loss is not the producer's money!
A lot of guarantors give you money before your film project even starts...

the Internet?
This is really not the first to play on the Internet. It is the insurance company—Guohua Life’s investment-linked insurance product—the four projects of the trust plan ("Little Times 3", "Little Times 4", "Wolf Totem" and "Illegal Operations" ).

It's just that the last two item cycles are overrun...

What should I do?
The Internet took over——Ari Baba's entertainment treasure took over "Wolf Totem" and "Illegal Operation", which attracted a lot of people to invest money!

A large amount of money was raised in the name of the trust...

In fact, this is illegal!
In the financial system, generally public offering products need to be simple, standardized, and have clear property rights.At the same time, it is required to disclose complete investment information to investors.

The reason is that the general public does not have complex judgments.

Therefore, it will be raised in the name of a trust!

Later, Baidu was greedy, and also made a Baifayouxi...

Later, the "Ip Man 3" incident broke out, and these apps disappeared...

Let's put it this way, Yuan Shikong and Shen Changlin also think that Internet + movies are a major trend in the future, and that the Internet can break through the barriers between audiences and users...

After all, Internet+ was the general trend in those years...

Even Fatty Yu said, 'Traditional film companies will work for "BAT"'.

But after that, Ari Films and Penguin Pictures suffered various failures. Ari had "The Ferryman", "Three Lives III, Ten Miles of Peach Blossom", "Blood of the Machine"; ", "Love Apartment (Movie Version)", "Shanghai Fortress"...

It's so awesome, all the stuff made for Mao?
I feel that the reason why movies are played by those people for more than a hundred years is indeed reasonable!

The content industry still depends on people!
No matter what channel the audience uses to watch, the demand for high-quality content is still the most essential appeal.

It is impossible for you to control and lock comments, and everyone will think that what you shot is a good thing from the bottom of their hearts.

Because everyone has seen good things!
　Happy Lantern Festival…
