my crew is not human

Chapter 101 New Scheme

"Uh, uh, ok, I see."

After getting out of the car, Li Xianyun hung up the phone, and said to Jiang Zheng, who was in the same car, "Yang Yuan's phone number."

The two walked out of the parking lot and walked towards the underworld office together.

"What's the matter with him?" Jiang Zheng asked.

"Huayou has watched the edited film of Legend of the Dragon Tomb and thought it was good, so he wants to discuss the cooperation plan for the next film with me." Li Xianyun said casually.

Because the Legend of the Dragon Tomb is three hours long, and there are also some special effects, the normal post-production time is about three months at the fastest, but after all, it is our own company, and the priority is to rush for work, so it will be completed in three days, and the initial fine-cutting will be finished in three days. It has been completed. As usual, send it to Huayou for a look, listen to their opinions, and then make revisions.

Of course it's just the first one.

After reading it, Huayou was very satisfied and thought that there was not much room for modification.

Yang Yuan directly proposed the next cooperation plan.

In fact, Yang Yuan's first reaction at the time was: Ah, what a genius!

Yes, Li Xianyun himself didn't know that he was already considered a genius in directing.

But Yang Yuan would not say these words, so as not to give him the opportunity to raise the price.

At this moment Li Xianyun said: "Huayou wants to co-produce a theater with me, with an investment of 8000 million."

"Good thing." Jiang Zheng smiled.

"What a fart." Li Xianyun spat, "Do you think they can pay so much money?"

Jiang Zheng understood: "Resource substitution again?"

"Not only that, but also to raise funds from outsiders." Li Xianyun said.

Hearing this, Jiang Zheng frowned.

After entering this industry for almost a year, Jiang Zheng also gradually understood how deep the water in this industry is.

It is normal for movies to raise funds from outside. What is abnormal is that nine out of ten of the funds raised represent black money.

Huayou and the others want to use this to make money!
Li Xianyun said: "With a nominal investment of 8000 million and a resource payment of 6000 million, the actual investment may only be 1000 million. I took 3000 million funds and resources to do a business of 8000 million. My sign."

This is what Li Xianyun said to Yang Yuan at that time.

For this reason, Yang Yuan asked him, "You are the boss, why do you care about the signboard?"

"I'm also a director." Li Xianyun replied: "I need money, and I also want art!"

What Yang Yuan usually hates the most is the pursuit of art too strongly.

But you can't deny that all talented directors also have artistic pursuits, because that is the root of their talents.

Li Xianyun is simply a contradictory body. On the one hand, he is a boss, pursuing money, and on the other hand, he is a director, pursuing art.

But that's the problem, when he wants to be satisfied with both, it will be no good for Huayou.

At that time Yang Yuan asked him: "Are you sure?"

Li Xianyun replied: "I'm sure! I don't cheat investors' money, this is my principle."

Yang Yuan was about to vomit blood from his anger.

Brother, you stole Huayou's money!

But thinking about it, it doesn’t seem to be a complete pitfall. With the quality of Legend of the Dragon Tomb, even one movie, Huayou can make money—I don’t know how he filmed the Siren drama. See you.

But even so, it's still a trap!
Yang Yuan couldn't figure out how the contradictory values ​​of you can be harmoniously unified in one person. He knew that Li Xianyun could accept his private dealings with him, and Shuang and Fei, but he just didn't accept this kind of name. 8000 million, 3000 million is actually shot.

Yang Yuan had no choice but to ask him to be more flexible. Li Xianyun finally proposed the conditions: Yisheng Media will lead the project, Huayou will be the investor, and Li Xianyun will give Huayou a quotation for their resources.

This is Li Xianyun's concession.

Huayou, don’t you want to exploit investors’ money?Yes, the resources of Yisheng Media will quote you directly, and the quotation will be higher, so that you can put it on the plate, which is convenient for you to make accounts, but other aspects will be based on the standard.

When the shares are finally distributed, Yisheng Media will give up some more shares, so that you can look better.

For example, Yisheng Media added up their special effects directors, etc., and packaged it for Huayou at a price of 2000 million yuan. Huayou took this offer, and it was their business to make 4000 million yuan for investors, but Huayou and Yisheng When the media cooperated, Huayou offered 7000 million, and the 7000 million had to be real, while Yisheng Media could offer 2000 million and only hold 1000 million shares.

To put it simply, it is your business to steal money. My films here count as much as you have, and you can’t lose a penny of resources!
Li Xianyun is also adapting to this business world now.

He knows that it is not easy to keep himself clean, so don't expect to be a teacher or a saint to others.

But he can at least have the right to keep his own interests intact.

8000 million investment, the actual 3000 million, the effect will definitely not work.

I am the director, and I will be the one who will scold you in the future!

Li Xianyun is ambitious, even if the 5000 million was all given to him, he would not be willing to do it.

What's more, it's impossible.

Money is the core of quality.

Why is Soldier Wolf 2 so popular?The luck of the year may have something to do with it, but even if there is no luck, it is just a matter of turning 50 billion into 40 billion. If you make a little less money, the big sales will still be big.

Because the quality is guaranteed!
What guarantees quality?In addition to the director's own standards, the most important thing is that a considerable part of the money was paid for by the director himself!

Use your own money, have the best attitude, and get all your money's worth.The [-] million that was spent was almost the real [-] million.

At that time, a well-known mainland director once said that in a certain filming, he wanted twelve lampposts, but the props got him more than 20.

How is this going?

In a word: scam money!
What did Director Lu say?

"I know they are scamming money, but I can't help it!"

Because he is not the boss! ! !

But Director Wu of Soldier Wolf 2 will not be helpless, because it is his money.

He is the director as well as the producer, the money and power are all his, and the producer has to listen to him, do you dare to cheat him?
When the money is in place, the quality is guaranteed!

Therefore, lay friends who want to invest in movies, if they cannot ensure that their money will not be scammed, there are only two ways.One, either buy the film directly, although it is a premium, but at least the price is clearly marked, but it must be seen as a film.Just ignore the trailer.

The second is that the producer and director must have their own investment, and the proportion should not be small.So how much you can rest assured, it is impossible to say that nothing will happen at all, but as long as it is not too much, you can generally turn a blind eye and close your eyes. As for the rest, you can only depend on the sky, the level of the director and the script, and the market at the time. Environment, to see if there is a good producer to help investors take care of it—because even if the producer and director have investment, they may get back the money invested in the film, and it is even more likely!
For Huayou, the resources of Yisheng Media are still a little less, so it is more convenient to use their own resources to exploit them, but Li Xianyun is a director who can make money, and his special effects can indeed be worth so much, so Huayou They quoted a high price for Li Xianyun's special effects, and then turned around and Li Xianyun gave them a low price. Same asking price.

This approach prevents Huayou from cheating too hard, but the quality of the film is also guaranteed, the box office returns are high, and the reputation can be better.

This circle is black-hearted, and everyone still needs a reputation.

To put it bluntly, no one would refuse to make money cleanly—it’s just that the money earned by black hearts is more stable and easier.

Knowing Li Xianyun's bottom line, Yang Yuan said that he would report to the boss.

Jiang Zheng smiled and said, "So this matter is so rigid?"

"I don't know, I can only say it's temporarily stranded." Li Xianyun said casually, "Anyway, I don't care about them."

While speaking, I have come to the office of the underworld.

Pushing the door open, a gust of wind blows in.

Sun Shi stood at the door, straight to the point: "Lanyuan Group has agreed to sell the land."
