Chapter 483 Hearing Youth (Recommendation Ticket Requested)
Many of Kleist's movies this year were hits, and variety shows were sold at sky-high prices, and other departments were flourishing.
In the Internet circle, because it does not go public and does not raise funds, it seems a little unknown, and many people don't even know what Kleist is.
Some people don't even know that Miaozhuo.com, Miaoer Music, and Miaowo (Station M) are all in one family.
I feel that now that the world is getting worse, these companies who start companies have to be cute when they name them.
But in the entertainment industry, Kleist is very famous, even ordinary people know about this company. After all, the opening titles of more than ten movies this year have been Kleist's little milk cat logo. Everyone can't remember it. are difficult.
Kleist's logo has been reproduced by meow-eye visual effects, killing many domestic film companies in seconds.
Of course, the version that netizens prefer is the imitation of MGM's lion head, except that the lion head is replaced by a small milk cat.
Kleist doesn't mind using it like this, the key is that MGM doesn't agree.
Unless this Hollywood company with a market value of billions of dollars is acquired, or the right to use the logo is bought back after MGM goes bankrupt.
Closer to home, precisely because of Kleist's big harvest this year, more and more people are seeking cooperation from them.
The first is "Many Days of Broken Love".
Don't get me wrong, it's not the director of "Many Days of Broken Love", Jiang Huateng no longer asked Lin Dong to invest in his "Sea Fortress".
He invited a super-traffic little fresh meat to star in "Sea Fortress", and successfully found investors.
His relationship with Lin Dong is not good now.
I thought to myself, I made movies to help you make money, but you didn't talk about old feelings at all, and you were unwilling to invest in my new movie even if you killed me. Why on earth are you doing.
There is no reason.
So, one time at a film festival, Lin Dong planned to greet him, but he pretended not to see Lin Dong, and walked away angrily.
This time, it was Bao Jing, the screenwriter of "Many Days of Broken Love", who was looking for Lin Dong.
She brought her husband, and her husband's film project "Shining Girl".
"The project looks very interesting, how much does it cost?" After Du Qixi got a general idea of the movie, he felt that he could vote for it.
After all, he hasn't encountered a movie related to "the collision and fusion of Chinese and Western music cultures".
"This is our budget list. In the past two years, the cost of film production has increased too fast. It only cost nine million when I collaborated with Mr. Lin on "Many Days of Broken Love." Bao Jing handed over a document.
Du Qixi opened it and looked at it, and said while watching: "The actor's salary is a bit inflated, you can suppress it, I also made a student-themed movie recently, do you know how much it cost?"
Today only Du Qixi came out to receive him. If Lin Dong was here, he would definitely not bargain like he is now.
If you have to bargain.
He estimated that he would be inclined to negotiate the price in reverse, and the actors should be paid more.
Even if he doesn't intend to encourage the star's sky-high salaries, he can still raise the salary of the extras, small supporting roles, or staff.
"I really don't know about this." Bao Jing's husband, Wang Zai, said in embarrassment.
You can't let a woman take the lead in everything, he is the one who wants to make the movie, and his wife Bao Jing is just the screenwriter.
"My starring role is Zhou Dongyao. The production of the film cost 20 million yuan, and the publicity and distribution cost 10 million yuan. The total cost is only 30 million yuan. But yours, plus or minus, is almost 100 million yuan?" Du Qixi has been in the industry for several years, and has personally directed and filmed several films, so he really knows what he does.
"Or, let's redo the budget." Wang Zai could only admit it, unless he gave up continuing Lacrest's investment.
Kleist's investment is very valuable, not only because they seldom point fingers or plug actors, but more importantly, they only need the domestic box office and the right to broadcast online, and other things such as overseas copyrights, film festival bonuses, etc. All for nothing.
The extra money eventually fell into the pockets of the creators.
Regardless of whether the movie makes money or not, directors and screenwriters like them will always make a lot of money when they encounter a movie invested by Kleist.
"Actors' remuneration can be cut in half. If they refuse to act, I can introduce other actors for you. The money saved can be used to make movies and increase publicity. By the way, if it is released, we, Kleist, will also Take over, and then our company will send finance personnel to settle in, and all expenditures and expenditures must be signed by our side, no problem?"
Du Qixi is Brother Qixi in front of Lin Dong.
But he also has his own majesty and authority in his professional field and when he is outside.
Wang Zai and Bao Jing nodded repeatedly, and had no objection to Du Qixi's arrangement.
Especially when Du Qixi didn't actually reduce the cost, they asked for 100 million, and they approved 100 million, but they felt that they were not careful enough in terms of budgeting.
A youth film with no big scenes costs 100 million yuan, which is indeed too much.
Among them, the remuneration of the actors occupies a considerable part. They are all young artists with a certain amount of traffic. The price is only the intention price after the initial contact, and has not been finalized.
In order to need more investment, I just filled it in.
If it is cut in half, the actors don't know if they can accept it, but it doesn't matter.
Now that there are projects and investment, the most indispensable thing is actors, even if auditions are held, there will be no problem.
It is best to find young artists. The three major acting departments can grab a lot of them casually, and the salary is so cheap that you suspect that you have entered the vegetable market.
"Besides, I always feel that the title of this film is not good. It is easy to mislead the audience. Why don't we call it..." Du Qixi pondered for a while, then had an idea: "Let's call it "Hearing Youth", a youth movie, and your English name "" "Our Shining Days" is a good match, and I like an Italian movie called "Heavenly Heard."
Bao Jing and Wang Zai looked at each other and could only nod in agreement, otherwise what would they do.
The one who is rich these days is the uncle.
Du Qixi's family has not only won awards, but is also a billionaire box office leader. Apart from his age, there is nothing better than Du Qixi's family.
"I don't have anything else to say. Just make it well. As for the box office, it's not something you should worry about. If the quality of the movie is good, we will continue to cooperate in the next one. By the way, our boss thinks the quality is good. , It has nothing to do with the box office, everyone agrees that it is really good." Du Qixi extended his hand and shook hands with these two people.
It can be considered that the cooperation intention has been initially reached, and all that remains is to talk about the details and then sign.
As the person in charge of the film and television production department formulated by Lin Dong, he can decide on this deal without asking Lin Dong for instructions.
