Chapter 80 Cooperation with the Tang Dynasty
After communicating with the "Ming Dynasty" side, one of Guan Ling's biggest things next is Ning Hao's "Crazy Racing".
No other reason, just to make money.
Guan Ling is going to hire a producer and let Ning Hao handle the rest. Lingyun Media directly invests in this drama.
The cost is small. It only cost 10 million in 2009, but now it can cost 6 to 7 million.
Box office, regarding the bonus of the name Ling, if you choose a good time, it will not be a problem to exceed 100 million.
Call Ning Hao and have a chat.
Ning Hao came soon and asked Ning Hao what he thought. Ning Hao said that he still wanted to use old actors, and Guan Ling was free to do it.
The actors in "Crazy Stone" were all veteran actors later on.
"Director Guan, sometimes I am really convinced. The protagonist in your script is simply based on what Huang Bo wrote. It is amazing."
Ning Hao was full of praise.
"My wife also praises you, which can make her praise not many people. Especially the screenwriter."
Guan Ling was a little embarrassed, this was originally written by someone else, so he quickly avoided the topic , "Do you have any needs in terms of investment share?"
"I want to invest one-fifth, but my wife thinks this is too advantageous for you. After all, you provided the script, and you have The name bonus is indispensable for this movie's box office. My idea is to get a tenth of it, and I feel that I can make a lot of money." Ning Hao said.
Ning Hao still has some money in his hands now. Although the success of "Crazy Stone" has not brought him much benefit, he still has hundreds of thousands.
"It's one-fifth. If you don't have enough money, the director's fee will be included in it, and the director's fee will be calculated separately. But whether you want to do this is up to you." Guan Ling made the decision directly, " Work hard, Lingyun Media will not treat your family badly."
Guan Ling is not planning to get China Film for this drama. China Film will give it 30% to 40%, and the revenue will drop sharply.
Ling Yun can also distribute it himself. Now Lingyun Media has a distribution license. Although it still lacks experience, once the name Guan Ling is put out, the theater chain will come to the door on its own. There can be no shortage of films.
The profits from blockbuster movies are all done with China Film Group. With a small cost, it is the most profitable to make money yourself.
Ning Hao was so moved that he held Guan Ling's hand and refused to let go.
He understands very well that this 10% share is worth millions. Assuming a box office of 100 million and a profit share of 37 million, one-fifth is 3.7 million. Half too much, this kindness is too great. What if the box office is higher?
In his previous life, Ning Hao didn’t earn enough for one-fifth of his share of the movie, but Guan Ling didn’t care. Compared with the money from this movie, he wanted to keep this person, Ning Hao. Being tied to the chariot of Lingyun Media will do no harm to Guan Lingbai.
A thousand gold buys horse bones.
Besides, Ning Hao is not a horse bone.
"Director Guan, I will film well! I will ensure that every character plays his or her best role in this film!" Ning Hao expressed his loyalty and looked like Same as swearing.
"I will definitely live up to your recognition of me, Director Guan."
Back home.
Told Xing Nana what happened today at Lingyun Media.
Xing Nana was so shocked that her mouth turned into an O shape: "Ning Hao, you have done a good job at Lingyun Media. Horses with thousands of miles of horses are common, but people like Director Guan are not common. Director Guan values you more than Brother Hua is just a lot more.”
The two couples looked at each other and nodded seriously.
.........
There is another matter that was decided when I was chatting with Cheng Long two days ago.
Since the preparation process of "2012" will not be short, Guan Ling has to think of ways to make money for Lingyun Media. He cannot rely on Liu Yan to feed him if "2012" is not released during this period. Son, I definitely still have to make money. I have finished calling Cai Yinong two days ago, and I guess she will be arriving by now.
On the last day of 2006, Cai Yinong landed in Beijing and joined Lingyun Media.
In the living room, Guan Ling took out the script of a TV series.
Since Cai Yinong had already discussed the cooperation content with Cai Yinong, Cai Yinong opened the script and started reading it. The more he read, the more solemn his face became.
Finally, Cai Yinong pinched his brows.
“Thankfully, Mr. Guan, your focus is on movies, otherwise we, a group of TV production companies, would be in dire straits.”
“The main reason is that I suddenly remembered that I watched this movie last year. I made a temporary script in my mind for the movie at that time, and then I improved it. Once the movie is finished, it will be screened on CCTV to start the new year.”
"It is indeed a big drama that can start the new year, and it is popular enough. Director Guan and Brother Cheng Long's names are on the TV list. Who will be popular in this drama."
"I dare not say that , but with your cooperation, I will be confident. Ling Yun currently has no experience in TV production, communication chain with TV stations, and methods of raising prices, and he is not as skilled as you, Sister Cai.
So this drama. , co-produced by you and me, the Emperor, is the best choice and the best opportunity to win.
However, although it is a cooperation, your share may not be too much, but in order to make up for it, I will let it go. What do you think about Brother Hu playing the male lead?”
Guan Ling made an impromptu trip to Tangren in August. At that time, he even encouraged Brother Hu and spoke in a subtle way. He looks very tired, making fun of Cai Yinong for being so exploitative of his artists and staff?
Cai Yinong specifically asked his staff to take rest and strictly control safety. At that critical moment in August, Hu Ge did not have a car accident.
“When it comes to a good script, people in the Tang Dynasty can only welcome it.”
Cai Yinong expressed his understanding and highly affirmed the script.
"It is already a great honor for me that Mr. Guan can think of Brother Hu. I accepted this drama on behalf of Brother Hu.
Although it is not a movie, I believe that we The first film collaboration may be just around the corner
Mr. Guan, do you have any other requirements? "
"The male protagonist Yi Xiaochuan is Brother Hu, and the female protagonist is appointed by the Emperor. Xiaoyue and Yu Ji are played by Liu Yan of Lingyun. As for the role of Zhao Gao, the second male lead, I have an idea. I will choose Zhang Shi and Yi Dachuan from Taiwan, and I will let Zhu Yawen make a cameo. As for the other roles, I can leave them to the director. "
"Zhang Shi? Cai Yinong shook his head, "I haven't heard of it, but I know a lot of actors in Taiwan. I asked about him and I chose him." ”
Guan Ling changed the roles of Xiaoyue and Yu Ji, but Guan Ling thought it was irrelevant.
Liu Yan’s costume roles are very good, and this is not a magic change.
On the contrary, for the TV series "Myth", the only soul lies in Zhang Shi's Zhao Gao. In Guan Ling's opinion, Zhao Gao's role in it is definitely a textbook performance and a masterpiece in the history of Chinese TV series.
“Director, Mr. Guan also has a choice? "
"There is no absolute requirement for this, but Huayi does not want the director and other actors to set roles. "
Guan Ling said casually.
Cai Yinong couldn't help but laugh, "Director Guan is so ruthless. If you use this trick in the TV series, everyone will understand Director Guan's attitude. ”
Even though the TV series doesn’t need you, do you still want to have a chance in the movie?
Stop dreaming.
