Chapter 89 Sign Xu Shanzheng
“This script is very good. I don’t know if Director Xu is going to find those actors to join?” Jiang Bai read the script and asked, and the title of Xu Shanzheng was also naturally changed to Director Xu.
Xu Shanzheng was overjoyed. He knew the conversion of this title, indicating that Jiang Bai had initially recognized his directorship.
He quickly said: “The main actors are me, Bao Qiang, Huang Bo, and a few female characters, but there are not many roles. I’m still considering who will play them.”
“They are all very good actors, and the script is very big. How much investment does Director Xu think this movie needs?” Jiang Bai nodded and asked again.
Xu Shanzheng said cautiously: “That’s what I planned. The total investment for this film is 60 million, of which 30 million is used for filming, and the other 30 million is for publicity.”
“Perfect proportions.”
Jiang Bai nodded again. It is self-evident how important the announcement of the movie is. The announcement cost of 30 million is not high for a movie.
However, the production cost of this “Thai Embarrassment” is only 30 million. Without knowing his future achievements, it is reasonable to make a publicity plan of 30 million.
“Daoyi Studio is very interested in this movie. I wonder if there are any investment opportunities?” Jiang Bai was silent for a moment and asked lightly.
The big hits in the future are sure to make money. If you don’t encounter it, it’s fine. Since you have encountered it, of course there is no reason to let it go.
What’s more, Jiang Bai is currently short of everything, that is, he is not short of money.
The box office share of “Zhan Long” has come back. According to the rule that the producer accounts for about one-third of the total box office, Daoyi Film and Television Studio’s revenue is as high as 480 million!
But in the eyes of outsiders, even if Daoyi Film and Television Studio received so much box office revenue, the actual profit is probably not much.
After all, the amazing special effects of “Dragon Slaying”, I’m afraid that it can’t be produced if there are no three or four hundred million.
And throw away more than 300 million special effects expenses, leaving more than 100 million profits, although it is also very impressive.
But the success of “Zhan Long” has too many unexpected factors, and no one can guarantee that the next special effects blockbuster will still be able to get this box office.
This is the reason why domestic producers are still not enthusiastic about shooting special effects blockbusters even with the “Zhan Long” Zhuyu in front.
The risk is too great!
Even Jiang Bai is filming “Zhu Xian” they are not optimistic.
Hehe, a TV series actually invested 200 million?
Even if you shoot it out, how will you recover the cost in the future!
In the current TV drama market, the price of a high-quality TV series is only 10 to 20 million yuan.
Even if the filming of “Zhu Xian” is good, there are still a large number of fans of the original book, and it will be considered a head when it sells 30 to 40 million.
200 million cost?
Hehe, I am afraid that Jiang Bai will pay for the pants!
It’s just that they can’t imagine that as a reborn with a plug-in, Jiang Bai’s special effects expenditure is infinitely close to zero…
“Really? Director Jiang is willing to invest in this drama? Is this true? Is it true? Oops, that, that, that would be great!”
Xu Shanzheng was overjoyed. Although he had already thought of this possibility through Jiang Bai’s previous attitudes, he was so excited to see Jiang Bai’s statement.
After several months of torment and bumping into walls everywhere, he has almost despaired of being a director and making a movie.
Don’t look at what Jiang Bai told Jiang Bai just now that he was going to see the optical fiber to talk about investment, as if he was full of confidence.
In fact, a rookie director like him, Huayi doesn’t like it, can it be optical fiber?
Now that he can successfully get the investment, he has no confidence in it!
Therefore, when Jiang Bai told him all the scripts, he would pay so much attention, and even worry about gains and losses.
And now when I heard Jiang Bai’s intention to invest, he did not hesitate and immediately agreed.
“Hehe, calm down, calm down, Director Xu don’t need to get too excited, since I said I want to invest in this drama, I naturally won’t regret it. If Director Xu wants to, he can go to Daoyi Film and Television Studio to sign a contract tomorrow. In fact, in addition to this For the investment contract of the film, I would like to sign another contract with Director Xu.” Jiang Bai said with a smile.
Xu Shanzheng was taken aback and said, “Another contract? What contract? My artist contract is in CAA, and it will expire in two years. I can’t sign other companies yet.”
“Director Xu is joking. I’m referring to the director’s contract. If Director Xu is willing to sign a director contract with Daoyi Film and Television Studio, then I can make the decision for Director Xu to sign B.” Jiang Bai said with a smile.
If possible, of course he would like to get Xu Shanzheng’s artist contract, but this is almost impossible.
CAA is one of the three Hollywood brokerage companies. It not only controls the career lifeline of more than 2/3 of Hollywood’s top movie stars and directors.
It also has brokerage contracts for domestic first-line stars such as Jet Li, John Woo, Karen Mok, Daniel Wu, Leehom Wang, Huang Bo, Yang Lan, Yu Nan, and Xu Zheng.
It can be called the most prominent brokerage company in the world.
With Xu Shanzheng’s status, it is almost impossible for him to give up CAA and come to Daoyi Film and Television Studio. UU Reading www.uukanshu.com
However, it would be better if he could win Xu Shanzheng’s director contract.
Xu Shanzheng’s road to directing is simply a road of bugs.
Since 2011, he has entered the field of directing, and his works are almost all sold.
This is a gold mine that can bring unimaginable returns to Jiang Bai.
hiss!
Xu Shanzheng took a breath, looked at Jiang Bai incredulously, and said, “Sign B? Director Jiang is so optimistic about me? I still don’t have a work.”
The director’s contract is also divided into ABCDE. The E-sign is a fledgling newcomer, and he has no chance to act independently. Usually, he works in the company’s crew and is optimistic by the company, and may be given the position of assistant director.
The D-sign can be independently filmed, but basically there is no autonomy. Usually, the company will shoot whatever the company asks to shoot.
The C visa is the real director, who has a certain degree of autonomy and can apply for independent projects and funds with the company.
Sign B is already a director with a certain reputation. You can choose the theme of the film yourself and participate in the film dividend.
A sign is a big director, such as Laomouzi and Kai, who have strong autonomy and basically have an equal relationship with the company. Sometimes, they have willful capital. In many cases, even if they know that they lose money, in order to maintain the relationship between the two parties , the company will pinch its nose to invest.
In Xu Shanzheng’s situation, even if a company sees his future as a director because he is a good actor, it would be a great deal to give him a C-signature.
Jiang Bai actually said that it was a B sign. This happiness came so suddenly that Xu Shanzheng couldn’t believe it.
“I don’t need to use people, I don’t need to use people, I am very confident in my vision.” Jiang Bai smiled lightly.
