Chapter 46 Financing
Although everything that should have happened has happened, and everything that should not have happened has happened, but it is nothing to Gu Wei and Yang Caiyu.
Gu Wei is part of the star plot and Miss Yang is really beautiful.
Yang Caiyu has made it clear that she is optimistic about Gu Wei and wants to have a good relationship with him. After all, there are dozens of classmates in the same class. Even if there is a chance in the future, why will it be your turn?
Besides, with Gu Wei's appearance, figure and various conditions, she did not suffer a disadvantage, not to mention that her experience was very good.
Early the next morning, the two of them packed up and went to school without showing anything strange in front of their classmates. It's like it never happened.
Seeing that the end of the semester was getting closer and closer, Gu Wei ran away from school and company.
The school has normal classes to prepare for the final exam, and the company is recruiting crew members one after another. From time to time, Gu Wei is required to go for interviews.
Nazha comes back occasionally and goes out for a meal or something with Gu Wei.
We usually make appointments every once in a while, if Nazha is not here and Gu Wei has nothing to do, Yang will make an appointment.
In short, life is full and busy.
On this day, Gu Wei made an appointment with Lu Yang to come to China Film Studio together.
The filming permit for [Detective Chinatown] has been issued, and Gu Wei is here to discuss cooperation with China Film.
Of course the most important thing is Lu Yang’s ‘tiger skin’.
What he said when he made an appointment with Han Sanping was that there is a new movie that Director Lu Yang and I want to talk to you about.
Han Sanping was very happy to hear this and set a nearby time.
The two of them arrived at China Film and Television and found Han Sanping's office where they were familiar with each other.
Go in under the leadership of the secretary.
"Director Han, Director Lu Yang and Gu Wei are here."
The secretary reminded.
"Director Lu Yang, Gu Wei, welcome. Please take a seat, Xiao Zhang."
Han Sanping gestured for them to sit on the sofa in front of the desk, and he also stood up and sat down. They faced each other and called to the secretary to make tea.
"I heard from Gu Wei that Director Lu has a new movie to talk to me about?" Han Sanping said with a smile.
Gu Wei and Lu Yang looked at each other and then said
"That's it, Third Master. To be precise, it's my movie. I hired Senior Brother Lu to give it to me. Help.”
"Oh? It's Gu Wei's movie. How do you say that?" Han Sanping was still surprised after hearing Gu Wei's words. He never thought that Gu Wei could be a director. In his eyes, Gu Wei was just a film director. A young actor who has not yet graduated from college.
"I wrote a script and wanted to shoot it myself, but I was afraid that my limited abilities would ruin a good story, so I asked Brother Lu to be the producer and help me complete the film." Gu Wei said Very clear.
"Xiao Gu, do you still have the heart to be a director? I really didn't realize that being a director is not an easy job."
"Isn't this Senior Brother Youlu who has the whole story? He is with me Don’t worry, everyone can rest assured,” Gu Wei said with a smile.
Han Sanping understood it completely, and then sighed, "Director Lu, you really take care of this junior student Gu Wei."
"No, it was Gu Wei who came to help in times of need, otherwise I wouldn't have had the chance to sit here and talk to you, Third Master." Lu Yang said.
"Third Master, this is the script I prepared. Please read it first. We have already applied for the filming license for the film." He said and handed the script to Han Sanping.
After a while, Han Sanping closed the script and said, "It's a good story. Do you want China Film to invest in this movie?"
"Yes and no. Sanye, to be honest, I want to make it." I can make this movie with my own money, without anyone else’s investment.”
Gu Wei said that Han Sanping believed it. If you dare to shell out 15 million to "fulfill your dream" for a director who is not related to you, you must be prepared for the money to go down the drain.
It is not unimaginable to spend tens of millions on making your own movies.
From the very beginning, Gu Wei's impression on him made him feel that this boy's family must not be ordinary rich.
“Then you want to entrust China Film Group to distribute the movie?”
“I think that for a good movie to be a big hit at the box office, it requires the participation of many people. I still I hope China Film can invest part of it. Of course, China Film will also need to contribute to the final release of the film," Gu Wei said sincerely.
"Well, what you said makes sense. What is the budget of the movie? How much money do you want me to invest?"
"The budget of the movie [Detective Chinatown] is 70 million. I hope China Film I can invest 7 million for a 10% share.”
“Seven million is not much. China Film Group has a big business, so it’s okay for Director Lu Yang’s sake.” Even with Lu Yang. I'm sure, but there's no guarantee that Lu Yang will make money even if he shoots it himself, let alone director Gu Wei.
In Han Sanping's mind, he completely regarded this movie as a project that was bound to lose money.
Fortunately, Gu Wei didn't ask for much, and he could afford it for Lu Yang's sake. After all, [Embroidered Spring Knife] brought tens of millions of profits to China Film.
"Third Master, I hope China Film can invest. I'm not just interested in China Film's 7 million money. I hope to use China Film's help to make the film better.
I know that I will definitely have to be a director. With your and China Film's approval, we can sign an agreement. After the movie is released, the box office share will be used to pay China Film's investment costs first, and the remaining money will be distributed proportionally.
"Gu Wei, since you are so courageous, I don't have to hesitate. China Film Group wants 10% of your movie. If there is anything else you need help with, feel free to ask." Gu Wei The basic approach is that if the movie makes money, everyone makes money together, and if the movie loses money, he will be alone. Han Sanping was naturally very satisfied with this kind of guaranteed bottom-line cooperation.
"I still need your help, Third Master. I want to give Wanda and Guangguang 10% of the share."
"Okay, this is a simple matter. Will the flames rise when everyone adds firewood? There are many people. By working together, we can finally make the movie a hit at the box office.”
Han Sanping felt even more relieved after hearing Gu Wei's plan.
With the protection of the three of them, no matter how bad the movie is, as long as it is well promoted, it can attract the audience to the theater.
No matter what happens in the later stage, the box office in the first week is definitely guaranteed. This way you get your money back 100%.
"Thank you, Third Master, for your support. During the later filming of the film, I still need to rely on you for many things." Gu Wei said with a grateful face.
“It’s all to make the film good. You and Director Lu Yang have to work hard during the filming.”
Gu Wei prepared all the procedures and signed a film investment agreement with China Film Group on the same day, and also had the priority agreement he promised.
Gu Wei then met with Mr. Zhang from Wanda Film and Television and Mr. Wang from Enlight Media with the help of Han Sanping.
Gu Wei reached cooperation agreements with Wanda and Enlight successively on the same terms as China Film.
"Gu Wei, although your guarantee agreement makes my chances of losing money very small, I believe your movie will be successful." Wang Changtian of Guangguang seems to be very optimistic about Gu Wei.
"Thank you, Mr. Wang, for your consideration. Why do you have so much confidence in me?" Gu Wei was also a little confused.
"I value your youth and your courage even more.
Work hard and we will cooperate more when we have the opportunity in the future." Wang Changtian said with a smile.
“Thank you, Mr. Wang.”
