What kind of bad thoughts can the director have?

Chapter 159

The black earth is shrouded in darkness, and the Diaobing Mountain has snowed in November, so it is already very cold.

The wind is a bit strong, and you can see the big trees around the hotel swaying with the wind, so the room in the hazy orange light looks extraordinarily warm and quiet.

It was another sleepless night, and Yang Shu leaned over his desk to sort out the shooting plan for the next day, imagining possible problems in each link.

There is a scratch on his face, which was scratched during filming during the day.

Many of the plots of the Flying Tigers took place on the train, with a lot of climbing and jumping action scenes. This poplar is also an expert, and he did everything by himself, which inevitably left some minor injuries.

Although Tieling's scene was filmed last, it was when the stars were the most complete. Except for Brother Chao, the main actors were basically there, and the shooting schedule was very full.

As the executive director, Liu Man has accompanied Yang Shu to make preparations every day for the past four months, and now he is sitting by the side to sort out the materials.

Just now Jiang Shiyu was leaning on the bed behind her to report the budget overrun, but she was so tired that she fell asleep while talking.

The sleeping posture is very beautiful, like a continuous mountain range, the highest peak is her hip, towering and stretching.

The small peaks are her shoulders, abrupt and round.

Put your hands together on your left cheek, breathe evenly and long, and the woolen sweater rises and falls with your breath.

This is so beautiful, more attractive than any other scenery.

For a while, Yang Shu listened to her breathing, and his consciousness gradually became blurred. Calm rationality and irrational enthusiasm fluctuated with the woolen sweater in different dimensions.

He couldn't help leaning over and covering Liu Man's lips with the passionate lips in the passion dimension.

Zhou Botong realized the art of fighting left and right in Taohua Island. It is a very delicate martial art. He can use different martial arts with both hands at the same time, which greatly increases his combat effectiveness.

Yang Shu is also good at fighting left and right, and seems to be used to Li Daitao being stiff.

Anyway, it's all passion, and it doesn't matter who you share it with.

I thought Liu Man would dodge, but I didn't expect that she seemed to have a heart, and she actively catered to her, and successfully docked like a spaceship.

So the kiss was affectionate, as long as Jiang Shiyu's breath.

Her closed eyes opened from time to time, and her eyes were slack.

During the evolutionary process, the division of labor between men and women was different. Early human men were engaged in dangerous hunting, and they had to concentrate their energies, so it was usually difficult for them to do both.

And women are responsible for collecting and raising, not only can multi-task, but also have a wider field of vision, men need to turn their heads to look at the angle, women's eyes are slightly slanted.

Although the two of them were in an unhealthy state of mind, a little daring and confused, but Liu Man hadn't forgotten to pay attention to the sleeping Jiang Shiyu.

This is really a strange reaction in a strange state, which aroused a different kind of enthusiasm. Yang Shu felt enlightened, as if he had suddenly realized some kind of mystery.

But what is the mystery, I don't have time to think about it now.

Jiang Shiyu suddenly took a deep breath.

The two of them froze immediately, and before they separated, Jiang Shiyu had turned over and continued to sleep.

Under such circumstances, it is obviously impossible to continue to expand the results of the battle. Liu Man wanted to sit back in his chair, but was hugged by the poplar tree, so he had to cuddle up like a bird.

Her breathing was a little messy, but her mind was not messy and she could start a topic: "You really don't plan to let those companies invest more?"

In this case, if you talk about something serious, it seems that what you are doing is considered serious.

Yang Shu's mind kept scrolling the words "melon is ripe and the roots are falling", and it was hard to pull back his thoughts.

What Liu Man was talking about was that "Warrior" exceeded its budget, which would probably exceed 3000 million. Proportionally, other investors would have to invest an additional 700 million in total.

Yang Shu recalled the tenderness just now, and shook his head absent-mindedly: "I don't think so, many things cost more money than expected, and the overspending of "Warrior" is because we didn't control it well. If we want everyone to share it, we have to negotiate with each other, which is too troublesome." Well, let me bear it."

At present, the investors of "Warrior", in addition to Miracle Studio, also include China Film, Orange Image, Hei Niu Chen and Bing Bing's Amy God, Tao Jie and Qin Jie's Junqi Feiyang, and Tiange Media.

Wonderful Studio invested 70.00 million, accounting for 1000% five, and the other five invested 5.00 million each, accounting for [-]%, totaling [-] million.

Now the filming of "Warrior" has exceeded the budget. According to the usual practice, we must either introduce new investors, or share it among everyone in proportion. Wonderful Studio will share 300 million yuan, and the other five companies will share 700 million yuan.

The three of them had discussed it just now. What Yang Shu meant was that since insufficient cost accounting led to overruns, Wonderful Studio is both the investor and the sole producer and should be held accountable. Therefore, he intends to take out the director's fee and not Let other investors pay again.

This is the first external cooperation project of Wonderful Studio. It is still not big enough, and it is not experienced enough. It will be fine if the budget reaches [-] million in one go.

The way to learn a lot of wisdom is not to let everyone take the blame together, and the amount of money involved is not large, so it's better to be high-spirited.

Besides, this is not Yangshu's first initiative. Many people in the industry have done this before. In order to make the filming go smoothly, they would rather give up some personal interests.

For example, when Cameron was filming "Titanic", the director's remuneration was part of the box office commission plus the director's salary of 800 million US dollars.

But when the film was shot, it was seriously over budget, and Cameron forced the investors to increase the money several times, and the final cost reached [-] million US dollars.

Big Hollywood productions take out a lot of insurance, and serious overruns are very troublesome. In the end, Cameron gave up the $800 million director's fee in exchange for the investor's understanding.

The same situation also happened when Ang Lee filmed "Crouching Tiger, Hidden Dragon". The investment was too large and the budget was seriously overrun. He also gave up several million director's remuneration.

But they did not suffer from it. After the successful completion of the filming, the film sold well, and the huge benefits from the equity and dividends were much higher than the director's remuneration. Cameron shared 2000 million US dollars, and Ang Lee was slightly less, tens of millions. .

This is a rational balance of priorities, pros and cons, and if you care about it, you may delay things.

Yang Shu also holds the same idea, not to mention that the operating mechanism of the domestic film and television industry is different from that of Hollywood. Yang Shu has an absolute right to speak in the "Warrior" project, and the producer Jiang Shiyu is also his staff, and they are the ones who raise funds and spend. Guada Lixia is easy to misunderstand.

Besides, the interests of several investors are extremely related, and the amount shared by each of them is only more than 100 million. In fact, it is a very small amount. It is better to learn from the practice of famous directors, to ensure the maximum benefit, and to use high morale as a publicity in the future gimmick.

Liu Man was a little unconvinced: "We hired an accounting firm to take care of the production accounts. The expenses are very detailed. Business is business. Brothers have to settle accounts clearly. I don't think you need to pay the director's fee."

Yang Shu thought to himself: "What kind of brothers settle accounts clearly, and you sisters are just a messy account."

"You have to think about it the other way around." He stroked Liu Man's shoulder: "Brothers are the only ones who can settle accounts clearly. We and the investors are not brothers. If you overspend, you can make up for it yourself."

Without these wranglings, the filming progressed very smoothly, greatly exceeding expectations, and it is expected to wrap up in mid-December.
