Chapter 133 Three movies shot together!
China Film and Television, Han Sanpin is sitting with Guan Ling, Ren Zhonglun, Ye Ning and others in the office.
"Everyone, time waits for no one, hurry up and make a decision."
Director Han still has the temperament of a superior person. Although he will not be so domineering towards Guan Ling, Facing Ren Zhonglun and Ye Ning, they were obviously bossy.
After all, he has just created a profit of more than 800 million for China Film and eliminated dissidents. Now Director Han has said that he will not refill the cup of tea now. After one cup is gone, the secretary will come in from time to time to replace it with a new one. .
This is the first meeting between Guan Ling and China Film and others since he came back.
What we are talking about is the investment share of "Tongtian Empire", the most important of which is the establishment of the Tang Dynasty City.
So, Bona and Guangxian wisely did not participate, because Guan Ling said that the construction of the city may require hundreds of millions or more, and this is not a short-term gain, it may take a long time.
Lu Peng called very excitedly, and then left dumbfounded.
Now that the investment income has not come in, Shanying really does not have the liquidity.
It was finally determined that if the share is not that big this time, I will not take it with me for the time being.
Wanda was very interested, so Ye Ning also participated on behalf of Wanda Cinemas.
Actually, these people are not the only ones. Even the new screen has some intention to come. Zhang Weiping usually thinks very highly of himself, but after he came here, he heard that admission tickets start at 100 million.
The guy walked away again.
Both Wang Changtian and Yu Dong gave up, and the new picture really didn’t have that size.
Wu Kebo of Chengtian Entertainment has always wanted to find a way to have a chance with Guan Ling since several artists under Wang Jinghua participated in Guan Ling's movies, but he gave up.
There is no reputable film and television company that does not want to cooperate with Guan Ling.
But the real problem is that they have no way at all.
There is no way to squeeze into this circle, so I can only watch.
However, recently many directors have started to think about it.
Because both Ning Hao and the director of "Meng Hua Lu" were recruited from outside by Lingyun Media. Even the director of the "Myth" TV series was borrowed from Tangren Media.
Everyone is wondering if they can join Lingyun and give it a try.
As for Wanda’s request to become one of the partners,
Han Sanpin was not very willing at first. After all, Wanda belongs to the downstream industry, and apart from arranging films, it seems to have no use. It is purely for sharing money. . In particular, "2012" more than quadrupled, and these profits were purely given to Wanda.
But Guan Ling took a fancy to Wanda’s experience in land and construction and thought he could bring it with him.
And the other party’s investment will be beneficial to the future arrangement of various movies under Lingyun Media.
At this moment, Han Sanpin cannot predict what kind of behemoth Wanda will become in the next few years.
Besides, although Wanda Cinema has no chance to participate now, in the future, it will always continue to annex and acquire. Now that the relationship is good, Guan Ling will work with Wanda in the name of a film producer. It is not impossible for theater chains to cooperate and establish new theater chain companies.
When the time comes, Wanda, the No. 1 theater chain in first-tier cities, and Dadi Lingyun, the No. 1 theater chain in counties and districts, will have Guan Ling hanging his head and wondering how he can lose in his future movies?
It is still a bit difficult now. Although Guan Ling is covetous of Wanda, it is difficult for him to get involved in this kind of real estate industry. Although he knows that the value of houses will increase rapidly in the future, but let Guan Ling engage in real estate? That's pure nonsense. I don't know when it was buried in the condom.
After all, some district committee departments and even scientific inspection departments, representing officialdom and science, will still use false inspection reports to trick you into buying land.
Who can bear the loss of tens of billions at every turn?
So Guan Ling thinks it’s good to be in this one-third of an acre of land. If nothing happens, he can chat about life with female stars and discuss Wushan Yunyu.
So for Wanda, a cooperative relationship is always better than a hostile relationship.
"Director Guan, my old Ren is following you. I will go to the meeting when I get back."
The director who can make Ren Zhonglun and Han Sanpin sit at the same table may be that director at this stage. There are several people, and Guan Ling is the glue.
Ren Zhonglun looked at Han Sanpin again, then turned to Guan Ling, and said directly, "But Director Guan, can you give Shanghai Film a slightly higher share this time? After all, Bona and Guangxian have already withdrawn. "
Ren Zhonglun wants to point this out. Although Wanda is large, it is still a bit behind in terms of movies.
Now, apart from China Film and Lingyun Media, it is understandable that he wants to occupy the largest share.
"2012" has been released worldwide, except in China. At this time, the global box office has exceeded 830 million US dollars.
Although China's box office has been a bit weak recently, it has passed the 700 million threshold, but after that, it really doesn't move much.
Guan Ling originally wanted to postpone the release for another month, but seeing the current situation, it is no longer necessary.
The box office of more than 700 million is already the limit for the country at this stage.
One billion is too difficult.
It is not the same now as it will be two years later. With the Olympic Games being held, people's income levels have risen a bit at that time.
The reason why "Avatar" is a watershed in the history of Chinese movies is because during the release of this movie, the ticket price of 3Dmax reached hundreds of yuan each, and there was no market for it. It was released continuously at night, and the box office revenue exceeded hundreds of millions in this aspect alone.
"2012" is incomparable.
"Mr. Ren, the share can be increased, but the ugly words should be said first. If the share is increased, the investment share of this city must also be increased." Guan Ling said.
The reason why such a city must be built is because Guan Ling listed that there are too many movies and TV series in the Tang Dynasty. Although there are currently only three scripts in the "Di Renjie" series, as long as the effect is good Okay, there are twenty-four sequels. What's more, there are also "The Legend of the Cat Demon", "Xuan Zang of the Tang Dynasty", etc., and TV series include "The Twelve Hours of Chang'an", "Glory of the Tang Dynasty", "Wu Zetian", "The Strange Stories of the Tang Dynasty", "The Case of Di Gong of the Tang Dynasty" ” and a series of movies.
And regardless of the background, costume dramas can also be used.
Therefore, the created effects can save Guan Ling a lot of time in subsequent film shooting.
At a time when Chinese movies are about to explode, these investments can get sufficient returns.
This is a long-term investment, but a huge time saver.
Furthermore, just because these people invest in the city does not mean that they can get their money back, and this investment is here. When Guan Ling shoots a new movie here in the future, whether he will take them with him or not, he also said Not good.
This is not a scam, but it is also a bond to strengthen the relationship.
Guan Ling cannot always let them have sex for nothing, resource replacement is necessary.
In many movies and TV shows nowadays, it is difficult for the other party to give Guan Ling enough benefits, so let them be completely tied to Guan Ling from this investment perspective.
China Film and Shanghai Film Group are escorting us.
Even in the Internet era, Lingyun Media must be the leading private enterprise among film and television production companies, and its status is unshakable!
“Follow!” Ren Zhonglun gritted his teeth, he had come, there was no reason not to follow. No matter how big the investment is, he can personally convince the directors to do it.
Ye Ning said that he would contact Mr. Wang when he got back.
Guan Ling didn't mind, and several people then determined the investment ratio of the movie.
Guan Ling does not require director fees or even investment, but he wants to directly occupy 30% of the share. China Film and Shanghai Film Group invested 40 million in film production costs respectively, accounting for 28% of the share, and Wanda invested 28 million. , occupying 14% share.
In terms of film production, Wanda is given a premium. And the premium is quite high.
In terms of the share of the city construction, the four parties were relatively fair. Each of the four parties had a share of 25%. At first, Ye Ning did not want to agree.
Guan Ling said that if Wanda wants to continue to participate in future movies, this investment is essential, and asked Ye Ning to ask the upper management for their opinions first. As expected, the response from the upper management was very quick.
This cooperation model is acceptable.
It seems unreasonable, right? Especially when it comes to film production, a few people have no objections at all.
In fact, Guan Ling's director's fee has risen to about 40 million. Converted to U.S. dollars, that’s 5 million U.S. dollars.
For Hollywood movies, Guan Ling's director's fee is too low.
For Chinese films, Guan Ling’s director’s fee is much higher than that of other people.
But even Han Sanpin did not raise any objections.
Guan Ling is worth the price.
The movie series is worth the price.
The most important thing is that everyone knows that Guan Ling can help everyone make money.
Guan Ling can ask for 100 million because of Guan Ling's ability. If others can make money for them, they can pretend not to see it if others ask for this price.
After the parties have finalized.
Ren Zhonglun and Ye Ning left, and Han Sanpin personally sent Guan Ling downstairs.
“The shooting time is so urgent? Are you going tomorrow?”
"Shoot early and finish early. The roles have already been decided. It's a waste of my time to delay."
"I like Director Guan's rhythm. He is vigorous and resolute. It would be great if you could be in charge of Director Guan. Several blockbusters can be made in a year.”
“By the way, Director Han, Jiang Wen called me and will be here in a few days. I won’t come in person. I will let him know when the time comes. Fang Ping came to finalize the investment contract with China Film's legal affairs and let him start filming. ""Let the Bullets Fly"?"
"Yes, hasn't the script been reviewed? He has a role. It’s already been decided.”
“Who has chosen the role?” Han Sanpin really hasn’t contacted Jiang Wen recently. It’s so satisfying to make money.
"Zhou Runfa, Ge You, Liu Jialing, and himself. This is the protagonist. Some supporting roles are also very good." This is what Jiang Wen told Guan Ling during the Chinese New Year.
"Liu Jialing? Isn't she going to act in "The Empire of Tongtian"? Is she going to act as a co-star?" In the minutes of the meeting, Guan Ling had already mentioned the choice of roles in "The Empire of Tongtian", and Han Sanpin was a little surprised.
"She is not the only one who plays the role, Zhu Yawen also plays the role. She plays the role of Liuzi in "Let the Bullets Fly". She plays Pei Donglai in "The Empire of Heaven"."
Guan Ling smiled road.
"But it's okay. They don't have many scenes. I'll contact Jiang Wen myself, so you don't have to worry about time."
"Whatever I'm worried about, it's all your movies." Han Sanpin also laughed. "Zhu Yawen, are you a classmate in your class? You are really kind to this boy. Recently, my daughter at home has been watching "Myth". I watched this TV series and he seems to be in it."
"Yes." , he just made a cameo appearance, playing the role of Yi Xiaochuan’s brother.”
“Director Ba Chen of CCTV told me that this TV series of yours is going to break the record again.” Han Sanpin was a little envious. , "And you signed a ratings betting contract with CCTV, right? Now CCTV is going to have a big hemorrhage again."
"You can't say that. If the ratings are high, won't CCTV's advertising fees also be high? Can’t you make money if you shoot well?" Guan Ling said with a smile.
"It makes sense." Han Sanpin thought about it, "If you shoot well, you deserve to make money. Based on this sentence, I have to ask China Film and Movie Channel to conduct an exclusive interview. Do you care about this statement of the director? , I want to be a good guide for Chinese directors. With you "2012" in front of me, as long as the Chinese directors make good movies, I will let them make money!"
Guan Ling was speechless, that's how people are. , when you are awesome, any words you say will be a model for others.
Han Sanpin is very good at using tricks, and using Guan Ling to inspire other directors, China Film Group can invest in many movies again.
"By the way, in the middle of last year, didn't I make "The Red Mansion Casting"? It just so happens that your TV series skills are good enough. Can you help me check it out later? I am the chief producer of this TV series. "The film is here."
Han Sanpin suddenly remembered "The New Dream of Red Mansions" and prepared to recruit foreign aid.
Guan Ling suddenly thought of this TV series, the picture quality of the underworld and the off-set scandals. There were many things discussed during the filming, such as the director's change and Zhijun's choice of concubine.
But it was so hard.
It wasn’t until after the release that Yang Mi was exposed.
Actually, it’s impossible to think about it. Rong Xinda’s director and Rong Xinda’s producer, now Zhou Xun is gone. In Rong Xinda, Yang Mi is not even the first sister, but she has to be the most worthy. She was a well-trained female artist, and she got a supporting role in it that was nothing like bullshit.
It can be seen that the protagonists did not know how many moves (holes) they opened.
Thinking of this, Guan Ling thought of Li Qin. He was a very good-looking person. He had to sign over later to avoid being voted out by the iron.
"Forget it, I'm very busy, Director Han. Please ask Gao Ming for something else." Tie Da couldn't afford to offend him now, so Guan Ling quickly refused.
People in the entertainment industry don’t dare to go against Mr. XX.
"Okay." Han Sanpin couldn't force Guan Ling to come.
“By the way, we ask Director Han to stagger the release dates for us in the future. Not only "The Empire of Heaven" and "Let the Bullets Fly", our company's new director will also shoot a small-budget comedy. The movie "Nightclub""
"Another low-cost comedy?" Director Han was a little jealous, but he also knew that it would be difficult for him to participate.
The three words "low cost" are clear evidence.
Director Guan and his Lingyun Media have grown up and are able to shoot and distribute small-budget films on their own.
Thinking of this, Director Han wanted to cry.
……
It’s time to start up.
Lingyun Media made a grand publicity for the launch ceremony of "Tongtian Empire".
The important characters also promoted the new movie online.
The male protagonists Liu Dehua and Zhu Yawen, and the female protagonists Fan Bingbing and Carina Lau.
As for Wang Jinsong, this is a back-up for the release of the movie. His name will not appear on the promotional interface and will only be fully publicized when the movie is released.
February 14, 2008.
Zhejiang.
The filming of Tongtian Empire started here. Many reporters came to the opening ceremony. Guan Ling and Chen Guofu personally went out to communicate with the reporters as the main creators.
“Everyone, we can tell you clearly that Liu Dehua took a salary cut to star, and he has signed a priority contract with us to continue to play the leading role in the future.
This movie , is the first film about the detective universe of China Entertainment, and is also the first work in the fantasy universe of Di Renjie of the Tang Dynasty!
The specific content is difficult to reveal, but we will spend most of the cost on the production! Up!
This is a genre that has never been seen before in Chinese. It will create a new genre of Chinese movies and will strive to become the pinnacle! ”
