Entertainment: Starting from child stars

Chapter 163 The lion opens its mouth!!

“Cooperation, how do you want to cooperate?”

Guan Shaozeng asked Luo Shao what he planned to do.

“What did Mr. Wang say?”

Luo Shao said and poured a glass of water by himself and asked Guan Shaozeng

“He said that he wanted to collaborate on a project, but he didn’t say how.”

In that case, Luo Shao called Mr. Wang,”Hey, how about Xiao Luo? Is there any good news from Uncle Wang?”

Wang Zhonglei got straight to the point.

“Uncle Wang, there is a doomsday science fiction theme, the theme of aliens invading the earth.”

“This kind of theme has appeared a lot in Europe and the United States, but it has never been published in China.”

“How about it? Do you want to cooperate?”

Don’t you just want to cooperate? Then let’s cooperate.

The script is a good one, but he can’t guarantee whether it will do well at the box office.

“Okay, can you tell me your cost budget?”

Of course Wang Zhonglei will care about this. He has also heard before that the production cost of”Inception” is 500 million.

This time it is a doomsday-themed science fiction film, and the production cost will be at least 500 million.

“It’s hard to say, this movie will have a lot of alien monsters, and at the same time, there will also be a lot of mechas that need special effects. A conservative estimate is that without 700 million, this movie wouldn’t be worth it.”

Luo Shao also said bluntly that 700 million is needed.

“700 million.”

Hearing this cost, Wang Zhonglei felt a lot of pressure.

“A conservative estimate is 700 million. Uncle Wang, you are also a producer. You should know that you will have fluctuations in the post-production; this is a good science fiction film subject in my hands.”

“Without enough funds, we cannot produce the wonderful work of this work.”

“Without enough cost, I wouldn’t make this movie.”

Luo Shao said his plan, making Wang Zhonglei realize how much he valued this drama.

Wang Zhonglei was thinking about whether to cooperate?

“How to cooperate? Should you and I invest half or half, or should we, Huayi, invest fully?”

Wang Zhonglei’s words revealed his ambition.

Luo Shao showed an intriguing smile:”Uncle Wang has such a big appetite and wants to monopolize this project?”

When he showed this smile, Guan Xiaotong raised his forehead.

It’s over. Wang Zhonglei is probably going to be in trouble this time.

Usually when Luo Shao shows this expression, he will trap his prey.

“Hahaha~ Aren’t you optimistic about your work?”

Wang Zhonglei didn’t hide it either. Luo Shao smiled slightly and said:”Invest half, you and I invest 50/50, and the same goes for the box office. In this way, you don’t have the right to decide what actors to use. I have the final say, you can only be responsible for the later release and promotion”

“If you invest the full amount, the director has the final say as to which actors to use, but I only want the male lead.”

“You have the final say as to which actors and directors to use. After all, you are the one who fully invested in it.”

“As for the level of film production, that is your business, but an investment of 700 million is necessary. Without the cost of 700 million, I will not cooperate with you on this project. Luo Shao came up with his own conditions, and at the same time he was putting pressure on Wang Zhonglei..”

Wang Zhonglei fell into silence, and she couldn’t make a decision for a while.

“You want the male lead?”

Wang Zhonglei asked Luo Shao

“Of course, of course I want the male lead in my script”

“I don’t want the male lead, so I want the female lead. Anyway, in this script, either I will play the male lead, or I will find someone else to play the female lead. Anyway, in this script, one of the male and female leads must be left for me.”

After hearing Luo Shao’s plan, Wang Zhonglei felt confident.

Luo Shao’s decisiveness in choosing the role of one of the two male and female protagonists shows that the script is good.

If the script was not good, Luo Shao would not have to choose the male lead. In this role, one of them must decide between the male lead and the female lead. This reveals a lot of information.

“OK, we at Huayi have full investment in this movie.”

Wang Zhonglei was very straightforward and straightforward. He wanted to fully invest.

“Okay, my screenwriter’s salary and actors’ salary will be calculated separately.”

“No problem, you guys are really rude, scrape me to death”

“Haha~”

Luo Shao laughed, of course this is for sure

“But with your current salary as an actor, it can’t be much higher.”

“Even Yang Mi is good, her current movie salary is only 8 million”

“I can only give you 2 million for your actor’s salary now.”

Wang Zhonglei only offered a salary of 2 million? Of course Luo Shao disagreed:”No, 5 million.””

“The actor’s salary is 5 million, and the screenwriter’s salary is 1 million.”

The lion of Luo Shao opened his mouth.

“Ronaldinho, this is against the rules. With your age and popularity, you really can’t get the salary for a movie.”

“Especially the salary for screenwriters. The best movie screenwriters in the country can earn hundreds of thousands in salary.”

Wang Zhonglei was very embarrassed. Luo Shao’s request was too exaggerated.

But Luo Shao did not intend to discuss it with him and said:”I invest on my own and don’t need any remuneration.”

Wang Zhonglei, who answered the phone, couldn’t help but cursed silently when he heard Luo Shao’s words: Damn, this guy is really a thief.

Now Wang Zhonglei wants to cooperate with Luo Shao, and the script project is also produced by Luo Shao.

He is giving face to Huayi to produce this project.

If he is not giving face, he can produce this project by himself

“You are so cruel.”

Although Wang Zhonglei was joking, he felt more stable in his heart.

Luo Shao could hear that there was a calm mood in Wang Zhonglei’s tone.

But Luo Shao snickered in his heart: This script is a good script, but the box office is… I can’t guarantee it.

With an investment of 700 million RMB, that is a production cost of more than 100 million US dollars.

The final box office is only 300 million US dollars. If the final box office is only this amount, then it will happen that Wang Zhonglei can only recoup the money. There is no profit at all.

But as for Luo Shao, after getting the leading role, the box office is not high, it has nothing to do with him. As long as the reputation of the work is good, then Luo Shao will make money.

As an actor, what he cares about is not the box office but the movie reputation and quality.

Only the investors of the movie care about the box office, not the reputation.

For the investors of the movie, it doesn’t matter how bad your box office reputation is, as long as there is a box office, as long as it can make me money, no matter how you criticize me Damn it, I made money, just be happy.

Luo Shao’s move can be said to be wonderful. He can control Wang Zhonglei’s mix in minutes.

“What are your thoughts on the female lead? What do you think of Yang Mi?”

From Wang Zhonglei’s suggestion, Luo Shao knew that this was also a traffic capitalist.

Yang Mi has been very popular in the past two years, and this year’s”Inception” also performed very well, which made her popularity soar again, and she also has Sufficient traffic and box office appeal.

Wang Zhonglei did this because he thought that inviting Yang Mi to star would ensure the domestic box office to a large extent.

Moreover, he also learned that Yang Mi had collaborated with Wu Jing and Luo Shao on a”Dwarf””Jurassic” science fiction film will definitely be released before”Edge of Tomorrow”. In this case, the success of”Jurassic” again will definitely increase Yang Mi’s popularity and reputation again. In this way,”Jurassic” will be released again. Edge of Tomorrow’s box office is even more stable.
