This director is very reliable

Chapter 34 The Problem of Money
The two did not continue the topic and talked about the company's current projects.

"33 Days of Broken Relationship" is still filming, and it will be finished within ten days at the most. The project company invested 650 million yuan, which is regarded as the main controlling investor. Light casts the remaining 30%, Anle Film and Television 20%...

There are two film projects in preparation, "Embroidered Spring Knife 2", "Big Shot"...

"Embroidered Spring Knife 2" was approved last month, and the complete script was released. The director selected Lu Yang, with a budget of 5000 million-3500 million for production, and about 1500 million for publicity...

This time, the company invested 30%, and Guangguang controlled the investment, which accounted for half of the investment. China Film and several other major theater chains shared the remaining 20%...

You've got to divide the cake before it's possible to make it bigger!
""Big Shot", I think the cost can be controlled at around 4000 million, let's vote for half of it!"

Guo Songjiang suggested friendlyly: "... I think it will be too risky?"

Shen Changlin retorted: "Is it a risk to invest in half of my own project?"

"The key company doesn't have that much money in its account!"

"...The payment for "Embroidered Spring Knife" hasn't arrived yet?"

"It's not enough to arrive, don't forget, the production of "Xiu Chun Dao 2" and the two TV series will cost money!"

Two TV series, namely "A Thousand Mountains and Evening Snow" and "Fireworks Fading"...

"Fireworks Fading" is "Beautiful Lady in the Beacon Fire".

"A Thousand Mountains and Evening Snow" cooperates with Mango Channel, the company is responsible for the publishing rights and [-]% of the filming funds;

not much.

The total cost is less than 2000 million!
After all, at this stage, it's not time to burn money like crazy, and the actors' remuneration has not yet made people feel out of reach...

In fact, the cost of TV dramas, especially domestic dramas, is purely driven by actors' remuneration!
Because the scenes of TV dramas are usually borrowed or rented fixed studios, the cost of props is not much more expensive than before, at most doubled, but the salary of actors has doubled hundreds of times!

The investment in "A Thousand Mountains and Evening Snow" was only about 400 million yuan...

As for "Fire and Fire", that is, "The Beacon of the Beacon", this project belongs to the period drama, the love of the Republic of China, the cost of this thing is not easy to calculate, if you really restore it, just the war drama in it, [-] million is not enough for you !

but…

The drama "Beauty in the Beacon Fire" involved a bribery case involving TV station executives...

Shen Changlin pondered for a moment: "I don't like the drama "The Beacon of the Beacon", so let's just publish the rights... Or, simply transfer the adaptation rights to Guangguang..."

Guo Songjiang didn't quite understand Shen Changlin's thoughts: "...why?"

In his opinion, "The Lady of the Beacon Fire" is a project that is sure to be profitable - having a TV station participate in the production is equivalent to having a buyer...

So...why give up?

"Don't worry about this, anyway, we can guarantee the income if we take the right to adapt..." Shen Changlin couldn't explain how he predicted the TV station's case in advance, so he could only change the subject: "In this way, we will have the money to invest in "The Big Man" "Is it?"

"Have..."

"Anything else?"

Guo Songjiang immediately took out a form: "This is an invitation to some events...I deleted some unnecessary ones for you..."

Shen Changlin took it, well, it's really the schedule...

Curious, as a director, he actually has a lot of itineraries!
Promotion, forums, such as 'Youth Film Project', 'China Commercial Film Promotion', 'Exchange of Excellent Domestic Films' and the like.

In fact, it is the process of brushing the face!

mixed seniority.

By the way, there are still a bunch of theater construction ceremonies, and he is invited to help stand on the stage...

"Damn it, why is there a Bazaar charity dinner?"

"I was invited by Su Mang... I especially told me that you must attend!"

"...I'm not a star... No, why should I appear at the "Jing Wu Feng Yun" press conference?"

"We have a cooperative relationship with Guangguang. "Jing Wu Fengyun" is specially prepared by Guangguang for the National Day file this year. As for the National Day file, you also know how intense it is. Because of emotion and reason, we should also be there to support it."

Shen Changlin shook his head: "I'm about to start the preparatory work for "Big Shot", you pushed these things for me..."

Guo Songjiang did not agree, but said euphemistically: "I think there is some commercial promotion, you can take it..."

"What's wrong, we have no money?"

"Yes, the money in the account is indeed a little tight..."

"Isn't the account of "Xiu Chun Knife" arriving soon?"

Guo Songjiang explained: "Half of the investment in "Big Shot" left us with less than 1500 million circulating funds in our account. If there are any other project developments, it will be difficult for us to intervene!"

"... "

Sure enough, investing in film and television is a waste of money!

Shen Changlin wasn't worried that Guo Songjiang would lie to him. The company's expenses were quite high. In just two short months, the net expenses for the three projects he knew of exceeded 0.5 million!
The point is, there is no income at all...

Apart from exploiting Nazha and Jin Chen's brokerage income, they are pure rookies, their pay is very low, although there are commercials, the pay is even lower...

Shen Changlin frowned, and then asked, "What's the solution?"

"Simple, either you go out to make money, or we absorb investment..."

"How to make money? I only know how to make movies!"

"Actually, there are many products that intend to invite you to endorse..."

"Endorsement?" Shen Changlin was a little surprised: "I'm not a celebrity, why would you ask me to speak for you?"

"...do you have any misunderstanding about your popularity?"

That's right, Guo Jingming can endorse 'Zhenshiming' and LG mobile phones, Han Han can endorse Nestle and Vancl, it makes no sense that Shen Changlin can't!
Shen Changlin nodded, and asked with great concern, "How much is my endorsement fee?"

"Around 200 million!"

200...

Almost caught up with the endorsement fees of first-line stars.

Shen Changlin was quite satisfied: "Are you looking for me for any endorsement?"

"Your image has always been very healthy... You have been asked to endorse milk powder, food, and some mobile phone endorsements, yes, and watches..."

"Food is fine, I dare not accept food endorsements!"

Shen Changlin shook his head, and then asked: "What brand of mobile phone and watch?"

"Gionee mobile phones and Fiyta watches!"

Gionee mobile phone…

Before 2011, when it came to domestic mobile phones, Gionee was a brand that had to be mentioned!
However, with the launch of smartphones, Gionee, which failed to seize the opportunity, began to decline gradually. Although later, in order to save itself, it transformed into a smartphone. Unfortunately, the times have changed...

Shen Changlin doesn't want to bear the curse—endorsing the black hole!

Thinking of this, Shen Changlin hurriedly said: "Forget about the Gionee mobile phone, please help me connect the Fiyta watch!"

"Okay!" Guo Songjiang nodded, and continued: "That's why I asked you to participate in more business activities, and use the marketing power of the media to promote yourself more..."

Shen Changlin shook his head: "I'm very disgusted with these...don't persuade me, if the company has no money in the account, I will borrow some in my personal capacity!"
