On this day, Cao An was in the house looking at the resumes of actors from all over the country, selecting suitable actors and notifying them to audition in the capital.

The location of this audition was the same as the last time. Cao An had obtained the right to use the office used when filming Ultraman Tiga for three years from the school on the grounds of supporting college students’ entrepreneurship.

As long as Cao An was still studying at the Imperial Film Academy, this classroom would belong to Cao An’s Fanxing Film and Television.

He had just seen a few resumes when Fang Haoli called.

“Hello, Sister Fang.”

“Boss, Mr. Chen from Wuxiao is here.”

Hearing this, Cao An was delighted, “Okay, where are you? I’ll be there right away.”

“Dashi Hotel.”

After getting the address, Cao An immediately packed up and went out.

The most profitable customer of Ultraman Tiga has arrived.

Dashi Hotel is right next to the school, so Cao An’s place is naturally very close.

Ten minutes later, Cao An arrived at the hotel.

After some politeness, Cao An and the boss of Wuxiaolai began to talk about business.

The one who came was a young man in his twenties.

He is the son of Chen Jianguo, the director of Wuxiao Guangcai Toy Factory, and his name is Chen Guanglin.

Guangcai Toys is the third largest toy factory in Wuxiao. The toys it produces are not only sold nationwide, but also exported overseas.

“Brother Cao, I won’t beat around the bush. This time I came to my father to promise to take over the production of Ultraman Tiga toys.”

“You can make any conditions you want.”

Seeing Chen Guanglin so frank, Cao An did not hide it and took out an agreement from his bag and handed it to Chen Guanglin.

He asked the latter to read it and introduced it to him.

“I want to adopt the model of licensing fee + dividends to license the toys related to “Ultraman Tiga.”

“40 million + 10% dividend of gross profit.”

“And I want to make requirements on the shape and quality of the toys. You must produce the toys according to the framework we provide, and you cannot privately produce other styles of toys that are not in the contract.”

“If you want to increase the production style, you must obtain our written authorization.”

Cao An just briefly introduced it, and the detailed regulations were written one by one in the agreement given by Cao An.

The reason why he made such a request is to maintain the value of this IP. Only when consumers get good value for money under this IP will they continue to support it.

Crudely made things will quickly consume consumers’ emotions, and then the IP of “Ultraman Tiga” will not be so valuable.

After a rough reading, Chen Guanglin did not answer immediately, but thought about the pros and cons.

When he came, his father gave him the right to make independent decisions on the licensing fee within 100 million yuan, but he did not expect Cao An to give such an agreement, and also made requirements on the quality of the toys produced.

But Cao An did not wait too long, Chen Guanglin gave an answer.

“It seems that Brother Cao is very confident in his work, so I can’t back down. 50 million + 10% of the gross profit, the extra 10 million is just to make a friend.”

“Okay, I will make a friend of Brother Chen.”

The two shook hands with each other, indicating that this deal was done.

“Brother Cao, don’t forget me if you have any good projects in the future.” Chen Guanglin said in a joking tone.

“Of course, if there are any cooperative projects in the future, I will notify you before I start playing.”

The business was done, and the subsequent dinner seemed very relaxed.

Both parties were very satisfied with this cooperation.

After sending Chen Guanglin away, Cao An said to Fang Haoli, “It will be hard for you to cooperate with Guangcai in the future.”

“Also, please complete the licensing plan for Ultraman stickers as soon as possible and then license it out. I need this money for the next filming.”

“Boss, do you know how many people there are in the company besides you?” Fang Haoli reminded.

“Well, forget about this matter. If there is a shortage of manpower, you can do it yourself, Sister Fang.”

With the 50 million from Guangcai, Cao An’s company account finally filled up again.

It also gave Cao An the confidence to go to the competition officials to ask for a new agreement.

“What, you want to pay for the movie yourself?”

After hearing Cao An’s idea, Teacher Zhao was shocked.

Then he asked, “Do you have that much money? Filming a movie is different from filming a TV series.”

“Not much money, but I can make some money from filming this book in my hand.”

Cao An explained, “I got 50 million for the license of Tiga’s toys.”

“50 million, it’s so valuable.” Hearing that Cao An received 50 million for a toy license alone, Teacher Zhao immediately doubted his life.

Fortunately, Cao An didn’t say that there was a 10% profit dividend, otherwise Teacher Zhao would have lamented the inequality of the world..

But he soon figured it out. Ultraman Tiga is very well-known among children.

And because it is a work of the competition, it is under official supervision, and people with ulterior motives dare not openly infringe on the rights.

So now there is a huge market demand for Ultraman Tiga related toys. Even his grandson is clamoring for Tiga’s transformation device toys.

This also made Teacher Zhao understand why this kid just made money and signed an agreement to take back the copyright. It seems that there is a lot of gold and silver hidden in it.

Although the popularity of Ultraman Tiga is not as high as the Return of the Condor Heroes broadcast in the summer vacation, in terms of the degree of making money, the latter may not be as high as the former.

After understanding his students’ ideas, Teacher Zhao took Cao An to find the relevant personnel of the competition.

These personnel were also confused by Cao An’s needs. This situation was not written in the operation manual.

Fortunately, the competition is relatively loose and flexible. After it was clear that Cao An could indeed independently bear the cost of shooting a movie, the official of the competition also readily agreed.

When the news that Cao An invested in this round of filming alone was released, Guo Xiaoai also followed up immediately.

He also wanted to invest in filming a movie himself. With the precedent, his request was quickly approved.

Cao An didn’t care much about these things. He was busy preparing for the actor auditions.

The second round of the National Youth Directors Competition will be broadcast during the Spring Festival, so Cao An must make the movie within half a year.

Leave enough time for the subsequent review.

Although the entries in the competition will not be stuck in the review for too long, it is still necessary to reserve about a month to deal with emergencies.

So Cao An must confirm the actors as soon as possible and prepare to start filming.

On Saturday, many people gathered in front of the first teaching building of the Imperial Capital Film Academy.

Because many well-known movie stars came here, and there were also those ubiquitous entertainment news reporters.

Under the arrangement of the temporary college students, the actors who came to audition rested in a few classrooms away from Cao An’s office.

Seeing that the time was about to come, Yang Mi stood up directly from Yuan Shanshan and prepared to go to Cao An’s office.

Yuan Shanshan asked in confusion: “Mi Mi, the audition hasn’t started yet, what are you doing now?”

“I’m not auditioning, I’m going to see Director Cao if I need any help.”

After saying that, Yang Mi turned and left, leaving Yuan Shanshan alone.

Hasn’t she always been fighting with me? She really doesn’t want a role in such an important movie?

I can’t figure it out.

She also asked Cao An for a role before, but Cao An said that all roles this time will be recruited through auditions.

This time she wants to try two roles, one is the heroine, and the other is the senior sister that the male lead met while working.

But she knows that the competition for the heroine is fierce, and the role requirements clearly state that she must be young and lively, and she feels that she still lacks something, so her main goal is the role of the senior sister.

Just when she was thinking about how to perform better, a person she knew but others didn’t know her came to the lounge.

“Fan Bing, why is she here too.”
