my crew is not human

Chapter 76
sponsor?

Li Xianyun was startled.

Brand sponsorship can be regarded as a very important additional income channel in the film and television industry, and the most important thing is that this part of channel income, if it is well operated, belongs to the producer itself and will not share profits with investors.

For example, the Transformers back then, when filming, more than two-thirds of the production cost was recovered from brand sponsorship alone.

It is said that the investment of [-] million US dollars, the actual expenditure of the film and television company may only be in the early [-] million, or even less.

But brand sponsorship is the same as celebrity endorsement. There are thresholds. Ordinary film and television dramas are not eligible for brand placement.

Of course, this is not always the case. Small films can also have small sponsorships. When Ren Zhi pitted investors' money back then, part of the profits came from this.However, because the investment in the film is too small, there are very few benefits that can be pulled down. For a production with a million investment, if you can pull down 1 yuan in sponsorship, you are capable.

It depends on the human resources.

In this regard, generally, whoever is the producer will occupy the dominant position, and ordinary investors must obtain the consent of the leading party if they want to insert sponsorship.

Otherwise, if a small producer comes over and says, I got a certain sponsorship, the director will directly say that I disagree.

This thing is blind.

Such a thing happened when the famous director Jiang made the film called "Bullet". The producer brought in tens of millions of liquor sponsorships, but if Director Jiang said no, the matter would be considered a mess.

Of course, Director Jiang’s reason for his refusal was: there would be no such brand in this era, and the use of this brand of liquor would affect the artistic effect.

But whether this is the case, no one can say.

Because some things can be understood from another angle.

From a malicious point of view, this story can also be interpreted in this way: the producer got sponsorship, but the sponsorship money is for the producer, not for the director, and maybe your producer has benefited from it.

Then why should I serve you?

The money is not in my pocket again.

Rejected, what was fulfilled was my director's artistic pursuit.

Accepted, plump is your producer's personal purse.

So what do you think people should choose?

So things are like this, and they can be analyzed from various angles, and they are all reasonable.

Of course, this is just a judgment based on malice, and it can only show that there is such a possibility, not that it must be the real reason for Director Jiang's refusal.

In this circle, people should try to be clean, but they must be able to see and distinguish turbidity—even if turbidity is only possible.

Li Xianyun has his own bottom line, but this does not prevent him from speculating on others with malice. He does not harm others, but he also tries not to be harmed by others.

Far away.

Back to the present, when Li Xianyun filmed Ghost Battle in the Chamber of Secrets and The Record of Appreciating Ghosts, there was no sponsorship at all.When filming Time Hunting, Jiang Zheng actually offered a small sponsorship, and the friendship price was only a few thousand yuan, which was negligible.

However, Legend of the Dragon Tomb's investment can be considered large-scale in Wangda, and it is qualified to attract some decent sponsorship.

Looking at Yang Yuan, Li Xianyun understood what he meant.

Sure enough, Yang Yuan said: "I can help you get some sponsorship. You know, the sponsorship that Huayou came forward to ask for is not a trivial matter. My little interpersonal relationship is all wasted by you!"

After some discussions, Li Xianyun and Yang Yuan finally decided on a cooperation plan.

The original investment plan remains unchanged at 500 million. The actual film length will be three hours, consisting of two relatively independent stories.

The first story is that a group of young people went to a deserted island on a sea adventure and escaped after experiencing many difficulties.The second story is that the young man who survived the catastrophe returned to the deserted island for various reasons and challenged the Tomb Crisis again.

This structure is almost a routine of aliens.

The first part of Alien tells the story of an alien fighting the crew in a spaceship, mainly based on horror and horror, and the second part becomes the alien of special forces fighting the entire planet.

And following this story routine means that the scenes in the second part are more exciting than the first one.

The first one is a suspense thriller, and the second one is a big hit.

Huayou has invested so much resources and money, but it is only the first part that can split the accounts. They will only have [-]% of the second part, which is the most important part. The copyright fee is actually a hush money, which means that we will pay for the second part ourselves. It was filmed, but it will still give you some corresponding benefits, so don't talk to me.If you want to talk about it, there may not be even [-]%... There is a gap in the contract, just to make sure.

Huayou will admit it for money.

As Xuandong said, as long as Huayou can make money, with Yang Yuan's help, Huayou will not care too much.

Now Li Xianyun has confidence in his directorial level, and with the cooperation of Yang Yuan and his group of ghosts, he is also sure of the quality of the film, so even if the resources are focused on the second film, he is confident that the first film will not lose money.

In addition, Yang Yuan also promised to get some sponsorship for Li Xianyun, and the sponsorship money fell directly into Li Xianyun's pocket.

It’s hard to say how much this sponsorship is, Yang Yuan has to go through the relationship to know, and it also depends on the suitability of the script, but Yang Yuan requires them to get a 30.00% commission from it, 18.00% of which will be transferred to the contract commission, That's that [-]%, making it legal.

Of course Li Xianyun agreed.

And just like that, a dirty deal was struck.

Seeing that it was getting late, Yang Yuan gave Li Xianyun a wink and smirked: "It's almost time, let's stop here today. Take it easy at night."

Li Xianyun understood: "I'll report back to you about the battle situation."

Yang Yuan laughed loudly and went out.

Li Xianyun looked at the phone, there was a WeChat message from Qin Yubian, saying that she and Bai Xiaoxian had returned to their room.

Smiling slightly, he walked towards the room.

When I entered the room, I saw no one but clothes on the bed, and the sound of running water in the bathroom.

Li Xianyun opened the door casually: "It's washing."

"Ah! Get out!" In the bathroom, under the misty water, the two little girls shouted shyly together.

Well, this shyness is three points true and seven points false, right?

Li Xianyun also tried instinctively, if Bai Xiaoxian didn't lose his temper, then it was confirmed that there was no problem.

"Take a shower together." Li Xianyun laughed and went back to the room.

He took off his coat, threw himself on the bed, and just thought about it.

I don't know how long I thought about it, but there was a gust of fragrant wind blowing around me.

It was Qin Yulin.

"What about her?" Li Xianyun asked.

"I'm a little nervous, I don't dare to come out." Qin Yubin replied, then lowered his head and said, "This kind of thing... is actually the first time for me."

"Hehe." Li Xianyun smiled.

"It's fine if you don't believe me." Qin Yu was a little angry.

"It's not that interesting." Li Xianyun kissed lightly: "I'll go comfort her."
