Chapter 127 The storm is about to come, and the wind fills the building
Li Mingyang still wants to fight for it. There is Zhen Zhidan coming down to earth as a martial arts finger, and there is the fast and golden sign of Sugar Man, Liu Shishi is popular again, Cai Yi Nong strongly supports it.
It makes no sense not to succeed.
"Director Li, you have to be content with your life. Mr. Gong has given you a lot. He even invited Ba Ye and Zhen Zhidan. Haha, just give us Huayi these two projects. One hundred million will last. Yes, two hundred million, you can think of it," Wang Dajun said with a smile.
"What? In the middle of the filming, you want to kick me out?" Li Mingyang said with a smile.
"Director Li, we have already considered this. We don't care how much money is invested in this variety show, but forget about your TV series." Gong Yu advised.
“We took a look at the financial statements. Halfway through the filming, we spent a total of more than 30 million yuan. After all the calculations, the final cost was more than 60 million yuan. Are you planning to spend 140 million yuan to invest in TV series? ?”
The vice president of Tianyu raised his hand to stop Li Mingyang from speaking, and continued, “If you want to film the Four Great Classics, or Jin Yong’s martial arts, I have no objection. No matter how bad the film is, you can get your money back overseas. , but an original script with only a script and no audience base, I don’t think it is worth investing more than 100 million.”
Generally this is the case.
People in the entertainment industry will lower the price to less than 100 million and then negotiate.
Or compromise and make a big IP.
But Li Mingyang can't do it. He is a director. No matter whether he cuts the price or compromises, it is a sign of lack of confidence.
If the director is not confident, how can he give investors confidence?
“If I talk about filming Jin Yong’s martial arts, or reducing the cost to less than 100 million, will you say that I haven’t thought about it yet and don’t know what I want to film? And then deny me as a matter of course? Then Do you want me to compromise and follow your ideas?"
"It's best if you understand." The vice president of Tianyu didn't bother to pretend, "We are not interested in your TV series, so we are not interested in tying it up. ”
Li Mingyang glanced at everyone present, and finally looked at Gong Yu, the representative of the largest investor, "So this is what you mean?"
"I don't think the TV series is necessary, we can just finish the running man." Don't worry, you still have the final say on Running Man, and you won't lose a single point. We are not Sohu or Youku, and we will refuse to pay you in black and white." Gong Yu paused, and said with a smile: "If you still insist. If you want to film that TV series, you can use the money you earned from Running Man to film it. "So you want to divest your investment in the TV series?" No more participating.”
“Zhen Zhidan and Ba Ye were invited by you, so they will no longer participate in my TV series, but in your new plan?”
"The fact that you can understand this proves that I am right. Director Li will need to worry more about Running Man in the future."
Gong Yu chuckled, took out a cigar from the cigar box, and handed it to Li Mingyang.
Li Mingyang hesitated for a moment, then reached out and took the cigar.
Just when Gong Yu thought Li Mingyang had compromised, Li Mingyang broke his cigar, stood up from his position, put his hands on the table, turned to look at Robin Li who had been silent, "I I became a runner because of the promise I made at that time. Since you don’t welcome me, if I leave now, is it another form of fulfilling my promise?”
The air suddenly became silent, and everyone looked at Baidu’s palm. Disciple Li Yanhong.
a long time.
Li Yanhong nodded.
Li Mingyang pushed hard, the long table trembled slightly, turned around and left.
In the few short seconds he walked to the door, he was still thinking about where he lost?
When he turned the doorknob and made a click, he suddenly figured it out and why he lost.
It's not because Huayi is so powerful.
The problem lies with you.
He is a film director, a 20-year-old genius director who became famous in one battle.
He can afford to lose...
But they can't afford to lose, or they don't want to lose together...
Being able to afford to lose is also a sin...
Walking out of the conference room and walking in the European-style corridor of light and dark, Li Mingyang's thoughts suddenly returned to the day when he was driven away by the penguin.
"Big factories are all the same..."
Arriving at the splendid hall, Li Mingyang looked back on the way he came, and suddenly grinned, a cruel smile.
In the eyes of capital, any kindness is a sign of weakness.
If this is the case, then overthrow it and start over!
Li Mingyang took out his mobile phone, found Wang Changtian's number and dialed it.
......
At noon the next day, Boss Zhao brought a group of people to Mingyang Entertainment.
Both parties made final contacts, regarding remuneration, remaining remuneration, divestment, salary, reimbursement, and the agreement signed at that time... All terms were checked one by one, and the accounts were very detailed.
Gong Yu said that TV dramas were just a small amount of money. If the talks collapsed, everything would be taken into consideration and there would be no loss at all.
In the end, Baidu not only no longer had to pay the remaining salary,
but also asked him to pay an additional 70,000 yuan in excess room and board expenses.
“It’s so fucking disgusting.”
Li Mingyang took a look at the audit report, picked up a pen, and signed his name on it. From then on, the filming of Running Man had nothing to do with him.
The amount he received from this project was far lower than the expected 18 million, only 5.61 million.
Of course this is not all, there are also 5 points of advertising sharing, including the sharing of Mango Channel advertising and the sharing of Qiyi.com.
If the total advertising fee is 100 million, he can get another 5 million.
But the money is not very difficult... It's not that I won't give it, but it will be delayed.
Now that the two sides are at odds, it is normal for the dispute to drag on for a year or two.
After signing, Boss Zhao waved his hand and motioned for all his subordinates to go out, until only two people were left in the office.
Boss Zhao took out two contracts from his briefcase.
It was the 150 million contract and additional contracts that Boss Zhao gave him last month.
“Baidu is Baidu, Huace is Huace, and we are us.” Boss Zhao smiled bitterly, “Actually, when you gave me the mobile hard drive, they were already designing you, but each has his own master. , I didn’t say anything.” “Mr. Cai didn’t say anything either.”
It was just when the accounts were being reconciled that Li Mingyang found out that Mr. Cai didn't come that day, not because he was kept in the dark, but because she was a runner and she had already left.
“She also has an unspeakable secret. Perfect and Shanghai Circle are chasing her very hard. She wants to make money and doesn’t want to lose the initiative, so she can only endure it.” Boss Zhao said.
“I don’t want to sign this contract.”
“They are not good people, and you are not a good person. If you want to win it back, you can’t do it without money.”
“I That's not what I meant." Li Mingyang took out a bottle of mineral water from under the table and put it in Boss Zhao's hand. "Old Wang is right when he says that favors in the entertainment industry must be returned."
Boss Zhao unscrewed the bottle cap and put it aside. "I invited Mr. Ba. Do you know how I negotiated the deal?"
Li Mingyang shook his head.
He has always been curious about the matter of Master Ba. Zhen Zhidan changed his nationality just when he was short of money. As long as the money was in place, everything would be easy.
Ba Ye is different. He is the best martial artist in the world and his reputation is far and wide.
Even the film industry may not be able to invite you.
Being the producer of a TV series is too embarrassing.
Boss Zhao drank some water to moisten his throat and slowly told the reason.
It turned out to be because of "Su Qier" directed by him.
The investment in this movie is as high as 20 million US dollars...
Ba Ye really didn’t want to take over this movie at first. After all, he wanted to gamble with his own honor. If it fails, Chibi’s This is what will happen to Lao Wu.
But Zuo Shandiao wouldn't let him go, insisting on forcing him to take pictures, and said it didn't matter whether he made money or not.
Ba Ye had no choice but to take on this hot potato and became a director and filmed "Su Qier".
Nowadays, major productions in China are almost always paid with blood.
But for the industrialization of domestic films, China Film Group is strongly promoting large-scale productions behind the scenes. Once selected, it will be impossible not to do it.
As the Tarzan Beidou of action movies, it was only a matter of time before Ba Ye was approached.
He has been pretending to be ill for a long time, and he couldn't shirk it last year, so he had to come forward.
As a big production, the first priority is the box office. If the box office is not ideal, it will be both embarrassing and damaging to the brand.
Although it’s not like there won’t be any movies to make, I can’t keep it off my face.
Su Qier’s movie viewing party was not ideal. Ba Ye needed to find ways to make up for it, but Baidu was willing to help, and the two parties hit it off.
So Mr. Ba came down to earth to work as a producer in the television industry.
From Ba Ye's point of view, no matter what happens in the TV industry, it will be fine as long as nothing happens to his movies.
"I understand what Boss Zhao means. You want to say that as a film director, I can afford to lose in the TV industry." Li Mingyang said.
"It's good if you can figure it out."
Li Mingyang glanced at Boss Zhao. To be honest, this Boss Zhao looked much more easy-going than Cai Yinong... But he can Lao Yu's hands turned the world upside down, but he remained standing. In terms of means, scheming, and background, none of the ten Cai Yinong could be his opponent.
The two looked at each other for five seconds before Li Mingyang stacked the two contracts and returned them to Boss Zhao.
"You know, I'm on your side."
"I understand, you were not sent by Lao Yu to test me."
Li Mingyang smiled: "Me too I want to get along well, but I am bullied and come back without retaliation. That is definitely not me, Li Mingyang. I know it myself and everyone knows it, so there is no point in trying to take back the contract, but you can tell me so much today, it is a favor. I owe it. When I beat Huayi to the ground, I won’t hesitate to say anything.”
Boss Zhao shook his head and really didn’t understand why Li Mingyang was so hostile to Huayi.
With so many stars in hand, Huayi has too many cards.
And Li Mingyang's "Wang Zhao Man" has been played. The spy playing house is really not a good project.
The same resources are enough to create a more profitable and higher-quality project.
Why bother turning the corner?
There is no way to mess around in the film industry.
The television industry can still prosper and prosper, it only takes money and people.
"Okay, I wish you good luck, before the end of the year."
After bidding farewell to Boss Zhao, Li Mingyang returned to the office and continued to conceive of his "Spy House".
To seek stability, it’s naturally “Staying Together”.
But the upper limit is too low for young people to make small fuss.
Other than making some money, there is no bonus for him.
A bouquet of flowers can't be compared to a roommate who shared the same room, and it can't even compare to the upcoming drama "Love Apartment".
Want to make a comeback!
Let’s do an action drama!
Want to go further!
Get up wherever you fall!
The original drama is pretty much pick-and-choose.
By the way, should I incorporate Demon Slayer, Spells, Under One Man, and One-Punch Man into it...
Forget it...it's too complicated, and I also remember Not sure...
The fight in the spy house is already quite nonsense...
