Chapter 7 Love to do it, quit it(1/2)
After finishing the super-English script, Li Xianyun has to look back and prepare for the doomsday crazy.
This experience of fighting against Sky City with the team made Li Xianyun deeply aware of the difficulties in crew management.
The bigger the crew, the more big the cast, the more fucking things there are, and the more complex things there are.
The reason why I haven't encountered so many things before is largely due to his lack of confidence and specializing in obedient people. In addition, there are few people in the small crew and it is indeed easy to manage.
This mentality directly led to another change in the cooperation between the Doomsday Mad Flowers.
By the end of March, the script of Doomsday Madness was fully completed.
On the other side of the ghost town, with Jiang Zheng's speed of construction, Doomsday Town has also been initially built.
The next step is to discuss resource details based on the cooperation plan set before.
Because everyone is an industry insider, the controversy in this regard is gradually becoming less and less controversial, so the pricing of basic resources and the efforts they need are quickly completed.
But when it comes to the actors, there is another problem.
The main actors produced by Yisheng Media are Qin Yufei and Bai Xiaoxian Lin Xiaoyu. In addition, there are two special actors, but these people are not famous enough and cannot withstand the theaters, so the main actors have to watch Huayou.
This time, Huayou arranged two second-tier and three third-tier cities to come, which is quite famous.
The most famous ones are two second-tier actors, the male actors are Pan Wei and the actresses are Yu Jiao. They have both appeared in several major productions. When Huayou recommended them, he even called them the first-tier ones.
But speaking of this, the first and second tiers in the entertainment industry are actually nonsense. Just like the masters in the online literature circle, there has never been any unified standards.
As long as you are shameless, you can blow it into a line of white fairy Qin Yufei.
Some people are dissatisfied with this and think that the first-line is not enough to demonstrate their status, so the noun of top-tier and other top-lines was born again.
Anyway, the casino is just exaggerating. If you can’t brag, you won’t be qualified to stay in this circle.
But others may not believe this, but actors themselves will often believe it.
Another sign of this confidence is that this type of actor has his own agents and assistants, and there are more than one.
What's even more troublesome is that they usually have some special conditions.
For example, the male lead Pan Wei, whose conditions include that he must be a five-star hotel and an accompanying nanny car with air conditioning; the water he drinks must be of a certain brand, or a small bottle, and a large bottle cannot be used; there are twelve escorts, eight bodyguards and four assistants, and they must also live in a room of the same level, and the film company is responsible for the period...
The female lead Yu Jiao also has similar conditions, including cars, rooms, and entourage staff. In addition, there must be lilies in her room every day, five, one more, one less, two must be buds; the shooting time of each day cannot exceed eight hours...
Li Xianyun read the agreement for a long time, thinking that I had invited two old men to come over?
Whether they have the strength and fame of second-tier cities is difficult to measure, so they definitely have this airs.
Thinking about what I saw when the decisive battle in Sky City...
Hold!
He picked up the phone and called Yang Yuan: "The conditions for these two people and the special conditions for the three third-tier lines are not agreed to, and I like to do it, so I don't want to get out of here."
Yang Yuan also had a headache when he heard this.
He now understands Li Xianyun more.
This person has a strong desire to control!
But the problem is that he is not a famous director!
The actors' shelves are also based on the producers, especially the directors.
The more famous the director is, the smaller the actors will be, and vice versa.
Li Xianyun’s specialty lies in his special effects saving costs. The movies he made can make money, but this has nothing to do with the hits.
Film and television companies like this. It doesn’t matter whether they are hitting or not. The key is to make money stably, so they must do everything possible to cooperate.
But the actors don't like it!
What they want is famous directors. It doesn’t matter whether the movie loses money or not. The key is to improve their fame and status.
Of course, I also recognize you as a big boss if you are rich.
But this recognition is on the dining table, on the bed, and in the shopping store. You can bring me more and better resources.
As for Li Xianyun, I’m sorry, you are not a big boss yet. You don’t have the temptation of a shopping store, nor the cards you have from famous directors and big productions. The actors don’t like this.
As for the ghost town? Haha, it’s just a large construction site now.
So Yang Yuan said: "As long as you are above the second line, you will basically have such requirements, but they are different in different directions. So even if I change it for you, I will not be able to change to the second line without requirements."
Li Xianyun said: "Then don't have the second line, and don't have the third line."
I'll fuck it!
You don’t want the second line, we want it!
You should know that the two second-tier and three third-tier cities are included in the resources paid by Huayou, and they are still big.
Second-tier actors are very expensive. Although they are also very large in size, ranging from three to ten million, but they can't get a few million in any case.
Among them, Pan Wei is 4 million, Yu Jiao is 4 million, and three third-tier three million, totaling 11 million. The remaining money is used for promotion and distribution, and this is also the internal price. Film and television companies cooperate with each other and know each other's bottom line. Huayou can't make much money from this aspect - their core is to estimate the market externally.
Li Xianyun got out of it in one sentence, so how do you calculate this resource?
Yang Yuan immediately had a headache: "Brother, it's very difficult for me to do this."
Li Xianyun said directly: "You know I am a practical person. People like us are more willing to spend money on visible levels."
Yang Yuan nodded repeatedly: "I understand! I understand! Many directors are like you, but capital operation is not."
Huayou, the five big-name actors, paid 11 million yuan to Yisheng Media, and the offer was 30 million yuan!
Now that there are no such actors, what are you selling?
The meaning of an actor's existence is not just acting, fame, and fans. The most important thing is capital operation.
Capital operations are divided into two parts.
One is to attract investment and the other is to sell equity.
To put it bluntly, if you get 40 million yuan of investment, spend 20 million yuan on sale, and then sell equity for 100 million yuan, this is the common operation model that many film and television companies are cheating.
What about film and television companies that don’t cheat?
It means to attract 40 million yuan to invest, and actually spend 40 million yuan, but part of it is spent on your own resources and then redirected to your own hands. This is a legal and legitimate profit - like a broker, it is natural for a broker to make a difference, and the internal operation of the company also requires profit.
As for selling equity for 100 million yuan, it depends on your ability, and it is not a cheating, it is just a fool. It is your ability to fool it if you have the ability.
So it can be understood as this: the money earned by a conscientious film and television company is one of the resources and the second is project income. The money earned by a conscientious film and television company is one of the resources and the second is project income, three of the black money... the black money that is full of tricks.
It's that simple.
Generally speaking, as long as the resource profit of film and television companies is controlled within 30%, it is basically acceptable.
All those who say that my resources don’t make money are nonsense. Film and television companies rely on resources to make a living. Similarly, this artist offers an external offer of one million yuan, and the film and television company may arrange only 700,000 yuan. This 300,000 yuan is their legitimate profit. Even if you know that this is the case, you will talk to the owner with a difference of 300,000 yuan, and the people will not pay attention to you - there are industry rules, and it is difficult to survive without following the rules.
But things like Li Xianyun looking for Lin Xiaoyu are not a violation of the industry rules, because Lin Xiaoyu did not buy out the contract at that time, but only cooperated brokers.
If he has his own exclusive job, he will breach the contract.
Artists with brains basically don’t do this, but there are still many people without brains. Once, there was a female artist who borrowed her agent to go to the bed of a rich man, and then connected several dramas under the arrangement of the other party, and skipped the agent. Later, the rich man got tired of playing and threw her away, and the few garbage films didn’t make her famous. Looking back, he looked for the original agent. How could the agent ask her? Not only did he not, he even told the circle that this girl was unreliable, so he had to leave the industry and find a good person to marry.
It's gone far.
In short, in this model, famous actors are a key link in the capital operation chain, the key to attracting investment, the signboard to attract audiences, and the core of selling equity!
The same is true for promotion and promotion.
You have to have a name to publicize it, right?
People use famous actors, and when they are promoting the promotion, they shout "Who is the one who acts in our movie?"
People who do basic skills will yell when you are promoting and publishing, "How much does our scene artist spend? How much artistic content does it have?"
At that time, even if the public doesn’t have cigars, they will still wave their hands together: “I don’t think they will cost that much money.”
Without famous actors, how can I invest? How to promote and sell equity?
How do you make others believe that this is a "blockbuster"?
Only Li Xianyun, an alien who relies on cheating to invest on his own can focus on the quality of the finished product.
What film and television companies always focus on capital operations.
The difference in nature is destined to make the difference between each other.
This incident suddenly became a huge gap between Yisheng Media and Huayou.
Huayou cannot give up on these actors. You can replace people, but your status cannot be changed. Special conditions must be met.
Li Xianyun was also very persistent in this matter. Even if Yang Yuan proposed that those special conditions would be met by Huayou, Li Xianyun would not agree.
Not to mention anything else, he can't accept it if he only shoots for eight hours a day.
He now figured it out.
My boss is not very big now and the director is even smaller. If these actors come here, they will probably not convince him - Li Xing, Yuanwei, Xiaoxiao, will definitely happen again.
So it is normal to have problems, but it is rare to have problems.
Isn’t doing business just to have low risks?
To be continued...
