China Entertainment's whatever you want

Chapter 20 Copyright
The filming phase of the work is all done.

Lu Yang will take all the materials that have been shot, and go to China Film to find a master in the editing department to edit the materials.

The materials go through several processes of rough cutting, fine cutting, and fine cutting, plus post-production, soundtrack, subtitles, etc., before the final film is truly formed.

Of course, the director's participation is inseparable from the whole process, because all decisions have to be made by the director.

These have little to do with Gu Wei. According to the contract with China Film Group in the early stage, [Gu Wei Studio] will have some right to make suggestions during the later release period.

He is now waiting for Lu Yang to complete the post-production and produce the film, and then the studio will communicate with China Film for the release and release.

When Gu Wei brought Zhang Tianai back to the capital, it was already September, and his second semester at the college had already started.

After getting off the plane, the company's car was already waiting to pick them up outside the airport.

"Honey, I'll take you back to your residence first. The school still has some things to deal with. We'll contact you after we finish."

Gu Wei said in the car.

Zhang Tianai rented a house in Beijing. Although she has graduated from college, she is just a young actress who has not reached the 18th line. Her main income is from being an advertising model, and the roles she has played since she started her career are all tricks.

The small supporting role in "Xiu Chun Knife" this time is already the best role she has ever gotten.

Soon the car drove to the downstairs of Zhang Tianai's house, and the two parted reluctantly.

"Mr. Gu, are we going back to school or to the company?" The driver is Zhang Long, a full-time driver hired by the studio for Gu Wei. He is in his 40s and a veteran. He is very honest and rarely talks.

"Master Zhang, let's go to the company first."

When she came to the company, her manager, Yang Liwen, was looking at the crew bills brought back by the accountant.

As one of the investors [Gu Wei Personal Film and Television Studio], although it is not the main controller and is not responsible for the production of the film, it is also necessary to arrange a financial account to enter the crew and monitor the income and expenditure of the crew.

These are all written in the contract with China Film in the early stage. After all, making a movie is too easy for the director and crew to make money in it.

There is too much room for manipulation here, not to mention anything else, just talking about the costumes and props during acting, how much they cost, where to buy them, whether to rent or buy, there are many things to pay attention to.

Props and costumes worth 100 million, the director reported 500 million, found a company with his own people, and paid 400 million, which is reasonable and legal.

Just like Chen Kexin, a big director in Hong Kong, when he makes a movie, he quotes a straw hat for 6000 US dollars. After the whole movie is shot, no matter how the box office is or whether the investors lose money, anyway, the director is making a lot of money.

Although Gu Wei believes in Lu Yang's character and China Film's professionalism, but when it comes to business, he should first be a villain and then a gentleman, and do the proper supervision. Naturally, no one has the courage to reach out, which is good for everyone. .

"How about the bill, is there any problem?"

Gu Wei sat across from the manager and asked

"I roughly looked at it, and it should be no problem. Some projects cost surprisingly little money. Director Lu Yang really spent all his money wisely."

Yang Liwen sorted out the bills and replied.

"I can trust my brother's character and ability.

In terms of post-production and distribution of movies, you have to do a good job of docking with China Film Group. Although we are not the distributor, after all, the investment share is high. If the movie box office is good, it is also a good thing for us. "

"Our company doesn't have any media resources right now. When the movie is released soon, we will try our best to promote it online."

"Understood" Yang Liwen replied
"Mr. Gu, I have something to ask you for instructions. I contacted some of my original contacts, because the movie you are making is still pending and you are not well-known in the circle. Some TV drama crews are only willing to give male 3 or male 4 opportunities to audition for the role.

Do you go to these plays? "

Gu Wei took a few scripts and looked at them. They were all names that he had never heard of.

frowned and said
"All these plays are rejected, and after [Xiu Chun Knife] is released, we will have a script to look for.

What happened to the copyright I asked you to collect before? "

Liwen Yang says
"I'm just going to report this to you. Some of the film and television adaptation copyrights of the novels you mentioned earlier have been collected. It's just that in the past few years, as long as they are popular novels, the copyright has increased dramatically, and there is not much money in the company's account. gone."

As he spoke, he handed over a document.

"Then there is Gu Man's [Small Smile is Alluring] a company in Shanghai is also discussing copyright.

The copyright fee for the previous [Why Shengxiaomo] was sold for 100 million. Now that the two companies are competing, Gu Man has raised the price to 150 million. The companies in Shanghai are still hesitating. Mr. Gu, do you think we can buy it? "

"Buy, at this price, tell Gu Man that it's okay, and sign the contract as soon as possible." Gu Wei made the decision directly.

"But Mr. Gu, the money in our company account is no longer enough."

"It's okay, I'll figure out a way for the money, and you should contact Gu Man as soon as possible."

"Okay, Mr. Gu."

Originally, at the beginning of June, the studio still had less than 6 million yuan in its account. After more than three months, after collecting and purchasing some film and television copyrights, there were only more than 500 yuan left.

Gu Wei looked at the price of Bitcoin, it has been skyrocketing since the beginning of the year, and now it has reached the stage of 10 dollars a piece, and now selling them all can solve the problem.

But Gu Wei knows that next year will be the year when Bitcoin will start to skyrocket, and by the end of 2013, it will rise to 8000 RMB per coin.

Although there were ups and downs in the following years, the overall upward trend reached tens of thousands of dollars at the highest point. Selling it now is like throwing away the watermelon and picking up sesame seeds.

【Xiu Chun Dao】has not been produced yet, and there is still some time before it will be released, let alone a dividend.

In fact, there is a way, which is to use the copyright of "Xiu Chun Dao" and the expected film income to go to the bank as a mortgage.

In fact, since the filming of "Hero" in 2002, Zhang Weiping has obtained loans from international financial institutions. By 2004, domestic commercial banks also began to set foot in this field. Films such as "Night Banquet", "Golden Flowers in the City", "Assembly", and "October Besieged City" all have bank credit funds involved behind them; "Tangshan Earthquake" received a loan of 1.2 million yuan from ICBC, Panties” obtained a loan of 1.5 million yuan from Minsheng Bank.

The Bank of Communications in the capital city is the cooperative bank of China Film Group. As long as it is a movie produced by China Film Group and the procedures are complete, it is still very easy to do copyright and pre-income pledge loans.

"You first prepare our company's certificates, and some contract documents for investing in [Xiu Chun Knife].

I will go to China Film Studio with me in a while. "

Gu Wei said
After the things were ready, Gu Wei brought his agent to the building of China Film Group.

I found Deputy Director Han who was in charge of the [Embroidered Spring Knife] in the film and television department. Deputy Director Han is in his 40s and graduated from the director department of the college. .

Deputy Director Han was very enthusiastic. As soon as he entered the door, he got up and shook hands with Gu Wei
"Xiao Gu is here. Lu Yang is currently editing the film downstairs. I saw the rough cut of the [Xiu Chun Dao] you took. It's very good."

"Where is it, thanks to Director Han for your strong support. Without your support in manpower and material resources, Brother Lu Yang and I are covered in iron and can drive a few nails."

Gu Wei smiled and said

"I came here today to ask Director Han for a favor."

Director Han listened and looked at Gu Wei, "What's the matter, tell me about it. Logically speaking, you are also my junior. If there is anything wrong, as long as it does not violate the principle, the senior brother should help."

"It's like this, Director Han. The main funds of my company have been invested in [Xiuchun Knife], and now there are new projects, so there is no money. I want to use the copyright I own on [Xiuchun Knife] Use the advance proceeds as collateral, and borrow some money from the bank."

Director Han smiled and said

"It's all trivial, China Film has a cooperative bank, and [Xiu Chun Knife] is a movie produced and distributed by China Film, so the bank can trust it.

Let me introduce a person to you. He is the vice president of the Bank of Communications branch in charge of loans. His surname is Guo.After you have prepared all the procedures, just say that I introduced it, and the interest rate will be calculated according to the interest of China Film Group's previous cooperation. "

"Thank you so much, Director Han, you have helped me a lot."

Director Han said

"It's nothing, it's just a trivial matter. If you make the movie well and get a good box office after it's released, that's the biggest support for me."
