Chapter 43 "People on the Embarrassing Way"

Wait for the film company to approve the project, after many years of waiting, and then start shooting...

This is a safe path, but it is not the path Chen Xi wants.

"Can you get the filming permit?" Chen Xi asked at this time.

"That's fine." Ou Yangzhi said with a smile: "If you need a film company, we can find a way to establish it, but this is just an empty shell. It's meaningless without content."

Chen Xi nodded: "I see..."

"Actually, if it's next year, I think it's more interesting. Anyway, what you're talking about is the Spring Festival travel season, so it can be placed in the 08 Lunar New Year file to compete for the box office. You want to make a road movie about the Spring Festival travel season and release it in June and July. That's not too good, is it?" At this moment, Ye Dongnan said.

The movie they are discussing is "People on the Journey".

This is also the first film Chen Xi intends to shoot.

It was the first time I decided to make a film like this for several reasons.

First of all, this is a comedy movie. Many things are relatively easy to learn, and comedy movies are also a very popular genre now. As long as this kind of movie is not bad, it can basically make money smoothly. "Such a good book.

Secondly, there are some not-so-small scenes in this film. In those scenes, Chen Xi felt that he could practice his skills and make himself more accustomed to shooting big scenes, so as to prepare for future films.

And such a comedy should be easier to pay back!You can even make a fortune and plan for your next movie.

Given these considerations, Chen Xicai planned to shoot "On the Journey", but now the shooting plan is a bit frustrated.

Shooting the last feature-length movie did give Chen Xi and the others a lot of experience, and they are now very proficient at calculating the cost of the movie...

So now they estimate that the investment of this film will be at least 500 million... If Chen Xi's own idea is to make a good announcement, the investment of the film will be 800 million...

Because there is no film company as the backing, so many things may be restricted, and there are too many things to settle on your own, and the cost will further increase. In addition, the investment in this film may exceed the standard here and there... So, " In the hands of Chen Xi and the others, "People on Journey" may cost more than 1000 million yuan!

1000 million, where would he get so much money?

Even now he doesn't have that many.

"Let's think about it later, but Dongnan, Lao Ou, let's close the previous shell company and start a new film company!"

Chen Xi said again at this moment.

"you sure?"

"Well! I have some money here." Chen Xi said: "At least it should be no problem to be a film company with content, but it is true that there is no need to recruit people for the time being. Let's make a brand and then slowly fill in the content. , when we start shooting our first film, this film company will come in handy!"

Chen Xi's words made Ou Yangzhi and Ye Dongnan think a little bit.

But his current "If You Are the One" is really popular, so it is only natural that he can get a lot of bonuses.

It's not impossible to be a film company with so much bonus.

"Xiao Chen, can you find out how much money you have on hand now?" Ou Yangzhi asked.

"I..." Chen Xi smiled: "This time the bonus is more than 130 million, and if you pay the debt, you can save more than 90 after doing some other things!"

"It's really profitable!"

After hearing this sentence, Ye Dongnan and Ou Yangzhi looked at each other, and they both saw the surprise in each other's eyes.

This guy seems to have really made a lot of money this time.However, compared to the popularity of "If You Are the One", Chen Xi actually doesn't get too much now.

"But this is only for a period of time. After a while, other bonuses will be issued. By then, I should be able to have about 200 million funds!" Chen Xi said.

"With so much money, if you want to start a film company, you can do it as long as you want." Ou Yangzhi said: "You also know that a film production company can be legal with a registered capital of 100 million. It is not difficult for you now. It's..."

Chen Xi also knew that the next thing was to talk about the distribution of the three of them.

The two of them are basically just a sideline to movies, for example, Ye Dongnan, his father does everything, and now it is said that he is selling diapers, and he will inherit his father's business in the future.Ou Yangzhi also has his own main business, and his interest in movies is not to the extent that Chen Xi is. For him, movies are more for fun than to really devote themselves to it.

In addition... there is a reason that can't be said, that is, deep down in their hearts, these two people don't have much confidence in Chen Xi's film company.

So both of them have very low requirements on shares.

And it seems that he does not intend to invest money in it, and Chen Xi himself, anyway, he must devote himself to the film, and combine everything with this film, so he will not be too stingy with the film company's wholly-owned capital .

After the discussion was over, it was past three o'clock in the morning, and Ye Dongnan became a little dishonest again, and wanted to call Chen Xi to take a bath.

"You just made such a big fortune, why don't you take me there to play, one hour is only three thousand three hundred and eighty, not too expensive." Ye Dongnan said restlessly.

"Fuck...Diamond B, one clock is so expensive." Chen Xi said: "Besides, you have to go by yourself, don't drag me, I'm really sleepy now."

Seeing that Chen Xi had made up his mind, Ye Dongnan had no choice but to do so.

It's just that the film cannot be filmed for the time being, so do I have to stick to "If You Are the One" all the time?Thinking of these, Chen Xi felt a little helpless.

He is making movies, not variety shows!Variety shows are just a stopgap measure.

But now there is not enough money to make a movie... Maybe I can still get the idea of ​​a TV station!
Thinking of this, Chen Xi became very concerned about everything about the TV station.

A small village in Central South Phoenix...

Before, there were many rumors that Chen Dechun's son may have become obsessed with gambling outside, or took drugs, so his place became a bottomless pit, and he owed huge debts outside.

There was a lot of discussion about these things, and many of them reached the ears of Chen Dechun and his wife, but after all, they didn't say it in front of them, which made them have no room to refute, not to mention, the son did borrow from someone before. The money is gone, written in black and white, clearly written.

So they could only feel uncomfortable in their hearts. Before that, Chen Dechun and Chen Xi made a phone call, and many things became clear. Chen Dechun and the others were eager to clean up their son's reputation, and started talking about "If You Are the One".
