Chapter 500 Investors rushing to send money (two-in-one)

"The film "Fireworks in the Day" can be made, but it's just that it can be made. It's hard to say whether it will pass the censorship after filming."

It was already half a month later that Le Zehan came to Yang Yi to discuss the script of "Fireworks in the Day" again. At the closing banquet of "Buddha Plus", he and Yang Yi sat quietly aside and talked about the situation when he sent the script for filing.

The script passed the review of the Ministry of Public Security, the Ministry of Coal Industry and other relevant departments, which only shows that this story, which can easily be interpreted as smearing the people's police, did not touch the red lines of the relevant departments and could be filmed.

However, during the filming process, if there is any embarrassment or content that the broadcaster considers to have a negative impact, the film may still be ordered to be deleted.

In Le Zehan's opinion, the situation in "Fireworks in the Day" is much more serious than that in "Hurry". After all, the problems in "Hurry" are only some police and officials. The image of the protagonist is relatively positive, and the story ends with The ending is to defeat the evil forces.

"Fireworks in the Day" is different. Its protagonist is a policeman who was expelled from the police force in order to investigate the case. In the end, he sent Wu Zhizhen in after accepting the other party's sexual bribe.

If someone wants to go online, it is not impossible to say that it is to discredit the police community!

Moreover, Le Zehan knew that "Fireworks in the Day" is a movie, and the censorship requirements must be higher than those of the TV series "Hurry".

When the time comes, Le Zehan is really unsure whether the film will pass the review.

"I personally like this story very much. If you don't film it, I will feel distressed and unable to sleep at night. But if you film it, I will worry about what those people will do. Deletions, alterations, and alterations will ruin your work!”

Le Zehan sighed.

What can be said?

You can't blame them, Brother Yi, for writing the script too vigorously. The words alone are shocking, right?

"Don't worry about it so much. Just shoot if you can get it filed. We'll talk about the rest later!"

Yang Yi waved his hand.

"How do you plan to invest in this movie? Mr. You from Yuesi, Mr. Cheng from Damo, and Teacher Zou all called me and said they would invest in your movie."

Le Zehan continued.

"How do they know? Isn't it time to talk about investment yet?"

Yang Yi was a little surprised.

"I was the one who revealed it to Mr. You. We have such a good relationship with Yuesi. If we have any projects, we must inform them first."

Le Zehan didn't hide it, he had a good personal relationship with You Yuan.

Yueshi has indeed always been a very close partner of Mumu Film and Television. When Yang Yi asked for money and resources, You Yuan didn't hesitate and directly approved it. Others wouldn't have such courage. Therefore, it is understandable that Le Zehan revealed the news of Yang Yi's new work to You Yuan in advance.

"How Mr. Cheng and Mr. Zou knew about it, I don't know. But their connections are so wide, it shouldn't be difficult to know that we are filing for "Fireworks in the Day"."

After listening, Yang Yi nodded gently.

"Brother Yi, what are you going to do with this movie? How much should we invest ourselves? What's the budget?"

Le Zehan then discussed with Yang Yi.

"Did you tell them that this movie was an art film?"

Yang Yi asked him.

"As I said, Mr. You is determined to vote, and she will vote as much as we want. Mr. Cheng is a little hesitant, saying that it doesn't matter if it's a literary film. From his tone, I guess he wants to vote less, but he still has to take it. This is our line. Teacher Zou didn’t say much about it, but he said that he could send him the script when it’s convenient.”

Le Zehan faced a group of old foxes.

However, just like Cheng Wannian would continue to invest in Yang Yi even if he was worried about losing money, it is impossible for Le Zehan to completely kick out these hesitant investors, especially investors like Cheng Wannian who have a lot of wealth and resources.

If Yang Yi wants to make a science fiction blockbuster in the future, he will need Cheng Wannian’s funds to share the risk.

"In addition, Mr. Ji Yourong from Magic City Pictures also called me and said that he wanted to vote for "Fireworks in the Day". I told him that this movie is a literary film, and it is hard to predict the box office. If it is difficult to pass the review, maybe it will be accepted. Without recouping the cost, I can only try my luck abroad and see if I can win a prize.”

"What did he say? Did he back down?"

"Mr. Ji said that the positioning of your movie is very interesting. It is clearly a literary film but it is said to be a science fiction film. It is obviously a suspense film but it is said to be a literary film. Our argument cannot fool him. He just wants to vote for your "White Day" Fireworks"."

Ji Yourong's words relayed by Le Zehan made Yang Yi stunned for a moment, and then he burst into laughter.

"Fireworks in the Day" does seem like a suspense film with a literary bias.

And "Space Exploration Editorial Department" does seem like a literary and artistic film with a sci-fi edge.

But in Yang Yi's system, "Fireworks" is a literary film, and "Space Exploration Editorial" is a science fiction film. Yang Yi himself also recognizes this classification.

"Brother Yi, the influence of Magic City Pictures is not small. Mr. Ji said that if you can cooperate with Magic City Pictures for your "Fireworks in the Day", you can just shoot it according to the script and don't have to worry about the censorship issue."

Obviously, Ji Yourong had more information than anyone else. Not only did he know that there was a filing for this film, he had also read the script for "Fireworks in the Day."

"If he invests, will he interfere with our filming?"

Yang Yi hesitated for a moment. He had never worked with Magic City Pictures before, so he didn't know what Ji Yourong was like.

"Don't interfere, Brother Yi. I know what you asked for. I have discussed these with them. If there are any additional requirements, I don't need to tell you. I will refuse them directly!"

Le Zehan smiled.

"You don't interfere with our shooting, and you are willing to help us solve our problems. How can it be such a good thing?"

Yang Yi was surprised.

"It's not that there are no requirements at all. They want to lead the investment in our movie. When the time comes, "Fireworks in the Day" will put their Magic City Pictures title at the front."

When Le Zehan said this, Yang Yi understood.

Modu Pictures has invested in Yang Yi's film and does not intend to interfere too much, but it is all about fame and fortune! "Fireworks in the Day" puts the title of Magic City Pictures at the front, which means that Magic City Pictures is the leader of this movie.

Although the contract stipulates that the film and television copyright of "Fireworks in the Day" still belongs to Mumu Film and Television, the media reports will give Modu Pictures a very important position!

As a state-owned enterprise, Magic City Pictures can proudly list "Fireworks in the Day" as a film and television work launched by their company in future reporting work! If "Fireworks in the Day" can still win awards, Ji Yourong and the others will definitely get more glory from it to show off their achievements.

Of course, they also want benefits.

Just like what Ji Yourong said, he decided to lead the investment because "Fireworks in the Day" was a suspense movie made by Yang Yi.

Even if Yang Yi positions "Fireworks in the Day" as a literary film, "Fireworks in the Day" will be popular among a large number of audiences because of its suspense elements, especially the gimmick of Yang Yi's suspense movie.

Therefore, from this point of view, the box office of "Fireworks in the Day" will definitely not be too bad.

Ji Yourong is more radical than Le Zehan. He believes that even if the production cost of "Fireworks in the Day" is higher than that of "Space Exploration Editorial Department", it will definitely make a lot of money on the basis of recovering the cost!

"Brother Yi, we can't miss such a good investor! Mr. Ji can help us pass the review, so why not give him this opportunity to lead the investment?"

Le Zehan persuaded Yang Yi.

"Yes, you can consider it. I estimate the budget of this film is around 40 million, what do you think? The main reason is that the salary here for your sister-in-law cannot be too low. She has been filming with me, and her income has been greatly reduced in the past few years. "

Yang Yi knew how much Li Mengfei paid for filming TV series in the past. When she came to film with him, she even lowered her worth.

"I definitely can't wrong my sister-in-law, and I can't wrong you either. After all, you are also an Oscar-winning director and a first-line actor who has acted in so many hit movies. If we calculate based on the salary, the two leading actors, you and my sister-in-law, will definitely get 40 million. . So, I think the budget for this film should be 60 million, no, 70 million. We can’t just hire other actors, because we have to spend money elsewhere!”

Le Zehan is no longer the poor producer who spent two cents on every penny he made when he made "The Hidden Corner". With the invincible Yang Yi as his backing and so many investor resources, he has a lot of money in Yang Yi's film budget. It has nearly doubled.

"Isn't it a bit too much? The two of us get 40 million, which is almost half of the entire budget?"

Yang Yi was a little surprised.

"Brother Yi, it's 2027 now, and it's almost 2028 when we filmed "Fireworks in the Day"! The remuneration of you and your sister-in-law cannot be calculated according to the standards three or four years ago. And don't you get a lot? Is it normal? Both of you are guaranteed to win the box office, and you are not only the leading actor, but also the director and screenwriter. If you get million, who will have any objections?"

Le Zehan smiled.

"I don't think the 40 million is too much. The key is that the budget reaches 70 million, and there will be pressure to recover the cost by then."

Yang Yi shook his head.

"If your film wasn't too heavy, I would have added another ten million to the budget to eighty million, which would sound even more impressive. But to recover the cost, I think at least there is no problem with this goal. Because you and your sister-in-law are the actors. It is impossible for a movie to have a low box office. I estimate that it can reach 7 million on the first day like "Yangtze River No. ". If not, let's calculate based on the box office of "Dear". The movie you starred in, and There is also an intimate scene like Ferris Wheel, and the box office cannot be lower than that of "Dear", right?"

Le Zehan and Yang Yi counted on their fingers.

"Hey, it's true. The more I calculate, the more I feel that the box office of this movie may surprise us! There is no pressure at all with a box office of 200 to 300 million. If it can reach the level of "Dear", it will make a lot of money. No wonder Mr. Ji dared to say that he would lead the investment in our movie. He has already calculated this! No, I can't just have a budget of 70 million, I have to give you at least 80 million!"

Le Zehan gritted his teeth as he calculated.

The budget of "Fireworks in the Day" is lower than that of "Dear". It's not that Yang Yi doesn't have the confidence or confidence to make this movie well. It's also not that Le Zehan thinks Yang Yi when filming "Dear" is better than Yang Yi now. .

The main reason is that the filming of "Dear" happened to be during the few months when Yang Yi was in the limelight after winning the Oscar.

At that time, even if Yang Yi wanted to save costs and spend a small amount of money to do big things, investors were not happy.

They teamed up with Le Zehan to persuade Yang Yi to invite more powerful and well-known actors to film "Dear", and the production costs also increased.

Everyone knows what happened later. "Dear" did make a lot of money, but because of the high cost of actors and publicity, Mumu Film and Television did not make much money after the accounts were divided later.

In comparison, "Space Exploration Editorial Department" and "Yangtze River 7" are even more outstanding film investment cases.

The investment costs of both movies were not high, but their box office results were quite impressive, which naturally brought them more profits.

Li Mengfei didn't get much money from the film's remuneration, but she was also an investor, and she earned hundreds of millions for Xiao Yu Ni's future dowry!

Of course, now that Mumu Film and Television and Yang Yi's reputations have grown steadily, they no longer need to continue to sacrifice their salaries for their works.

They want a share of investment accounts and a remuneration that matches their worth!

While Le Zehan and Yang Yi were chatting enthusiastically in a low voice, Kong Yaojie, the protagonist of today's final celebration banquet, led by Shi Yanqiu, came to Yang Yi's table with a wine glass.

"Yang Yi and Mr. Le should go to the main table to eat, how can they be arranged here? Yang Yi is not only the original author of our "Big Buddha Plus", but also the producer and screenwriter of our theatrical feature film, Xiao Kong The successful completion of this movie would be inseparable from Yang Yi's excellent script and your constant concern!"

Shi Yanqiu patted Kong Yaojie on the shoulder and praised Yang Yi's contribution in front of everyone.

"Yes, I must thank Director Yang. I helped Director Yang and Mr. Le change their positions."

Kong Yaojie drank a lot of wine and his face was red. However, his drinking capacity was not bad. He could still talk and drink soberly and was not on the verge of being drunk.

"No, there's no need to move us back to the main table. Mr. Le and I just couldn't drink that much, so we hid here. Director Kong, please let me go!"

Yang Yi smiled and held Kong Yaojie's hand.

In fact, he didn't want to overshadow the show. Today's protagonist should be Kong Yaojie. If he kept showing his face, Kong Yaojie would probably feel uncomfortable and unhappy.

"Director Kong, Brother Yi is under the control of my sister-in-law, so he can't drink too much. I'll drink two drinks with you. I wish you a big hit at the box office and your future works will get better and better!"

Le Zehan, who was told by Yang Yi that he couldn't drink too much, directly picked up the small glass pot of liquor and drank one glass after another with Kong Yaojie.

"Thank you Mr. Le. Director Shi has always asked me to learn from Director Yang. After this cooperation, I have indeed learned a lot."

Kong Yaojie and Le Zehan met in a chess match, and he actually became more energetic as he drank, and talked a lot more than usual - he was usually very boring, and he didn't like to communicate with other guests when he was on the show!

Of course, what Kong Yaojie said after drinking was also telling the truth. After filming "Buddha Plus", his understanding of movies has indeed risen to a new level.

"Learn from each other, learn from each other! Director Kong, let's cooperate again if we have the opportunity."

What Le Zehan said was polite.
