Chapter 706 You Know Mao's Movie! (Please Give Me a Monthly Ticket at the End of the Month)

"If we two act together...it will sell well!"

Hao Yun's words smoothed out all the flaws.

"That's true..."

Kong Sheng found that he couldn't find a reason to refute.

The last TV series that Hao Yun and An Xiaoxi acted in was "The Return of the Condor Heroes", which was released last year.

They haven't acted in TV series since then.

Many viewers are worried that they won't act in TV series in the future, after all, they are doing very well in movies.

The contempt chain in the circle is very clear, and movies are more high-end than TV series.

As long as they work together in TV series, and they act as lovers, no matter what the project is, there will be no problem of selling.

The total cost of "Battle of Changsha" is 40 million - many big-budget TV series these days can't even sell for 30 million - if there were no Hao Yun and An Xiaoxi, it might not be possible to recover the cost.

The cost of "Soldier Assault" was only 12 million.

The cost of "The Regiment Commander" was higher, only 28 million.

Kong Sheng has never taken on a higher-priced project since his debut. The cost of "Crossing Guandong" directed by him was 30 million.

The 40 million of "Battle of Changsha" is partly the salary of Hao Yun and An Xiaoxi. They are not cheap at all, but they are definitely worth the money.

Kong Sheng thought of what the leader of Shanying said to him before coming, and asked awkwardly:

"Is Mango TV exclusive?"

Although Mango TV is a pioneer of Korean wave and is very good at copying Korean, they are really rich.

For example, the first round of "The Head of the Group" was won by the cooperation of four satellite TV stations, while "Mango TV" spent money on "The Ming Dynasty 1566" and signed an exclusive contract directly.

Within ten years, other TV stations are not allowed to broadcast it.

Although Liu Heping was very upset because the TV series was taken off the shelves after more than ten days of broadcasting, the investors did not lose any money and did not care about the TV series being shelved.

For the project of "Battle of Changsha", Mango TV had already spread the word that it wanted to buy it.

But no one knows whether they want exclusive.

"No exclusive." Hao Yun shook his head.

He didn't say Mango TV didn't buy exclusives, that's because Mango TV only cares about food and not fighting, and wants to do exclusives.

But Hao Yun refused. Am I Hao Batian someone you can buy with money?

"We Shanying are quite interested." Kong Sheng breathed a sigh of relief.

"No problem at all~!" Hao Yun certainly wouldn't refuse. TV dramas are a buyer's market, and there is no problem of not being able to buy them for the time being.

At most, the TV station is not clear about the quality of the TV series, and smashed it after buying it back.

Kong Sheng is the director, Shanying must know everything.

"Then let's start preparing recently. Can I use Shanying's team?" Kong Sheng asked.

"You have the final say on this," Hao Yun said as if he was going to be a hands-off boss, "An Xiaoxi and I plan to cultivate military literacy before the students start military training."

Kong Sheng then believed that Hao Yun didn't intend to make decisions.

Then he was surprised: "Military training?"

Before participating in a war film, you should go to military training, so that you can better interpret the role, but even the young actors don't have this kind of professionalism, let alone two top idols.

"Well, An Xiaoxi wants to be stronger." Hao Yun laughed.

"You are talking nonsense, I just want to be more energetic, not stronger." An Xiaoxi was embarrassed and pinched Hao Yun calmly.

It's a pity that Hao Yun didn't respond to her at all. This man is like iron.

Next time I pinch your thigh, I'll ask you if it hurts.

"Hehe~" Kong Sheng just smiled, flirting in front of him.

Just the level of these two people, do you think he can't understand?

However, it has been rumored in the world for a long time. If these two people are together one day, it is probably not considered "news".

"Don't worry, Mr. Kong, I will get the investment first." Hao Yun thought he was worried about this problem.

"Is it so easy to get the investment?" Kong Sheng asked faintly.

The two said they would go to the military training in "two days".

They also said they would get investment before they went.

In addition, they seemed to be shooting a movie called "Back to 20".

It seemed that they could get all the investment by making a few phone calls.

He has been staying in Shanying for many years because he doesn't have to worry about money. Even though Shanying is going downhill, a lean camel is bigger than a horse, and there is still money for the main project.

"It's not too difficult. You know, I made two TV series before, "Soldier Assault" and "My Captain, My Regiment."

Hao Yun pretended a little.

"Soldier Assault" cost 12 million, and it has been sold for more than 50 million after several rounds.

Hong Kong, Thailand, and South Korea have all bought it. If it hadn't been stuck, it would probably have been sold to the TV station in Taiwan.

And "Captain" sold for a sky-high price of 43 million in the first round, breaking the TV series sales record and creating the highest price in the history of the copyright of a single episode of a Chinese TV series.

As long as the premiere of "The Head of the Group" doesn't suck - even if it sucks a little, it won't affect "The Battle of Changsha", which is a TV series starring Hao Yun and An Xiaoxi.

It's easy to attract investment, and Hao Yun even plans to keep a 5% share.

This share is the kind that doesn't cost money.

He plans to split it with Kong Sheng, and he can also make a small profit.

"This is good, good..." Kong Sheng thought a lot.

He not only thought about "The Battle of Changsha", but also thought about possible cooperation in the future.

He is almost fifty years old, so he just joins Heidou Media.

He was supervised by others in Shanying, and he will be supervised by others in Heidou. He thought he would work alone.

He could ask Hao Yun to cooperate with him at that time.

For example, he could take a share in his company and help him deal with investment and sales.

Later, we talked about "Battle of Changsha".

Hao Yun is a screenwriter. He can help Kong Sheng understand the script better while talking about the attributes.

An Xiaoxi is not a brainless person. She mainly talked about the role.

Most of her famous works are costume dramas, "The Legend of the Condor Heroes", "The Legend of Condor Heroes", "The World's Number One", and "The Legend of Sword and Fairy", so she thought about acting in something different.

Urban dramas and war dramas are her most suitable choices.

If it was not suitable before she changed her nationality, she would have no pressure to act in "Battle of Changsha" now.

Kong Sheng felt that he didn't have to worry about investment, selling dramas, or overspending. Such a project was really great.

In fact, Hao Yun didn't explain it clearly.

Before going to the military camp, it is true that investment matters must be settled, but it is not just the investment for "Battle of Changsha".

There are also "Wolf Fang" and "A Thousand Arrows Piercing the Heart".

Wu Jing has his dream of being a director. After finally asking Hao Yun to help him revise the script, he can't wait to start working on it.

"A Thousand Arrows Piercing the Heart" was handed over to Lu Yang, who was busy and exhausted, and Hao Yun was naturally responsible for the investment.

Compared with Cao Dun and Han Yan's ease in filming "Back to 20", Lu Yang is much worse.

Lu Yang is more interested in martial arts fantasy movies.

When he was the deputy director of "Painted Skin", he did a good job in the work assigned to him.

"A Thousand Arrows Piercing the Heart" is a bit out of line with his profession.

Thanks to Hao Yun's help in introducing Wang Jing, otherwise he might have to participate in this movie to feel at ease.

The next day, Hao Yun hosted a banquet for a group of producers who often cooperated with him.

Even Hong Kong sent people over. They also have business in the mainland. Jiang Wen's "The Sun Also Rises" to be released in September is invested by Yinghuang.

An Xiaoxi and Aunt Liu also went.

When Aunt Liu brought her daughter into the industry, she planned her daughter's career very carefully.

She also actively participated in it.

Of course, her level is just so-so. Thanks to An Xiaoxi's hard work, she wouldn't be here today.

After working with Hao Yun several times, she probably realized that she was not that kind of material, so she began to care more about her daughter's daily life instead of interfering too much in her career.

She lost some money in investment before, and now she doesn't bother to invest.

If she has money, she buys a house and follows Hao Yun to invest in movies.

She is even too lazy to participate in building good relationships with various capitals.

As for what if Hao Yun and her daughter fall out...

Hehe~

Now she is worried about when her daughter will steal the household registration book.

She came to this investment and investment conference today because she hasn't appeared in public for too long, and she can't hide behind the scenes all the time.

"Battle of Changsha", "Wolf Fang", "Thousand Arrows Piercing the Heart", the focus is on the "Battle of Changsha" project.

Hao Yun and An Xiaoxi teamed up again.

Everyone is optimistic about the first round of this TV series, and all the rest will be net profits.

"I want to keep 50% of "Battle of Changsha"..."

Hao Yun gave everyone a blow at the beginning, making some people want to walk away.

You keep 50%, why do you find so many people?

Of course, it's just a thought, no one will really leave.

It's just right that you leave, others can take some.

Hao Yun's 50%, Aunt Liu's 10%, and Black Bean Media's 20%, he and An Xiaoxi took 20%.

Black Bean Media has a lot of money in its account recently.

Except for some virtual shares that were given away in the early days, that was called rewarding the company's veterans, and later on, whether it was a reward or anything else, it had to be subscribed.

It can be paid in one lump sum, or it can be offset with dividends.

But you can't get more virtual equity before it is paid.

So everyone tried to save money to redeem their virtual equity, and funds kept flowing back to Heidou Media.

However, Hao Yun was so poor that he couldn't afford to invest because he had invested too frequently recently and had too many projects that had not been paid back.

He thought of borrowing from the bank.

He could borrow money to buy a house before, so why couldn't he borrow money to invest?

So Anhao Film and Television asked Dongfang Yixiao, the last partner, to lend him 10 million.

This time, Jiang Wen didn't have any.

It wasn't that Hao Yun didn't give him money, but that Jiang Wen refused. He wanted to focus on making movies and didn't want to get involved in TV dramas.

In addition, Jiang Wen established a film investment company mainly to facilitate his own film making, and he didn't intend to become a film and television capital.

The other companies frowned and divided the money. Bayi Film, Guangxian Media, Huayi, Shanying, and Hengdian each took 10%, and they divided it quite evenly.

In fact, there was nothing they could do about it.

Film and television investment is risky, and it tests courage and vision, but "Battle of Changsha" can have any risk.

For a project with little risk, why should others give in to you?

Then there are two movies.

No one is interested in "Wolf Tooth", and Liu Furong has already invested 3 million.

Finally, Berna put in 1 million, and Black Bean Media and Anhao Films each put in 1 million, completing the investment of 6 million.

Hao Yun felt that it was difficult to make money from the movie "Thousand Arrows Piercing the Heart".

The production cost of this film is also 6 million. The most expensive part is not the salary of the leading actress, but the 1 million screenwriter fee of Hao Yun.

Unexpectedly, everyone is quite enthusiastic about grabbing it.

"Such a small project, please help us. We want all of it. Our boss is willing to give 10% to the screenwriter..." None of the big bosses came to this small scene today.

And the so-called screenwriter is to give it to Hao Yun.

It's really shameless.

Almost no one in the circle doesn't know that Guangxian Media gave Hao Yun a big red envelope of 5 million.

I thought Wang Changtian was just pretending to be rich and losing money to make a profit.

Unexpectedly, "Bullfighting" had a double harvest of box office and word of mouth. Guangxian Media not only did not lose money but also made a lot of money.

"Our boss is the same." Bernard's popularity snorted.

It's just money, it seems that no one can raise funds.

"Don't hurt the harmony, this project may really not make any money..." Seeing that both sides were about to get angry, Hao Yun hurriedly persuaded them.

"It's okay, it's okay, Director Hao, just watch from the side."

Shut up, you!

You're a director, what do you know about Mao's movies!

Last time, you said that "Whiplash" was a non-profitable project, but the global box office was several hundred million, and most of it was earned by foreigners.

Hao Yun sighed.

Isn't it just a misjudgment? Is it necessary to kill it with one stick?

But this time he really didn't think that "A Thousand Arrows Piercing the Heart" would have any box office. The script is even more depressing than the original. Who would go to the cinema to find discomfort?

In the end, it was Bernard and Guangguang who cooperated. The two companies jointly paid 6 million, each accounting for 40%, and the remaining 20% ​​was given to Hao Yun.

This is a benefit for Hao Yun himself.

However, Hao Yun still used Anhao Film and Television to claim it, which was equivalent to giving 6% to An Xiaoxi for free, which inevitably made Aunt Liu look sideways.

"In addition to these three projects today, I also want to warm up for next year." Hao Yun broke the jar and broke the jar. If he predicts the box office performance of a movie again next time, he will be Hei Dou's brother.

"What are they?" The other companies didn't get anything at all, and they immediately became excited when they heard this.

Moreover, they have to go back and report to the boss.

What they are waiting for is the preview of Hao Yun's project next year.

"One is a remake of "12 Angry Men". Due to the subject matter, the production area is Hong Kong, and the cost has not been calculated yet... Mainly the cost of actors, about 10 million."

Hao Yun only previewed it today and didn't need to be finalized.

"Only 10 million, there are no big projects?" A manager asked impatiently.

"How big is big?"

This is 10 million, how can it be considered medium cost.

"At least it has to be like "20 Again", and it would be best if it is like "Painted Skin"..."

Mainly, several super directors have taken on big projects.

"Hero", "The Promise", "The Banquet", "Curse of the Golden Flower"...

In the past two years, the film market has begun to hype big projects, even if it loses money.

One is that the size of the film market is increasing, and the number of screens is also increasing. The other is the adjustment of the industrial structure. All links of capital, production and publicity, and theaters have begun to seek the maximization of their own interests with the market.

Hao Yun's biggest project is "Painted Skin", which was invested 80 million yuan, and he cooperated with Xu Ke.

The investors who often cooperate with him hope that he can be tough.

Hao Yun was almost laughed out of anger.

However, he did not scare people with "Life of Pi", because the country could not eat this project at all.

He ignored these people and continued: "There is another project, which is the sequel to "Lost on Journey", but it may not be filmed next year..."

As soon as these words came out, the scene immediately boiled, and a group of investors expressed great interest.

They can make the decision without reporting to the boss.

"Lost on Journey" cost 8 million yuan and created a box office record of 86 million yuan. Its sequel is also a hot commodity in the eyes of investors.

"It's not decided today. I'm just giving you a preview. The cost of this movie is about 30 million..."

Meet your requirements for big projects.

"Anything else?"

"There's another project, which is a body swap type, which can be regarded as a love movie." Hao Yun was talking about "Your Name", and he is still revising the script.

"Are you and An Xiaoxi acting in it?"

The strange thing is that no one asked how much the movie would cost, but accurately grasped the real key points.

The important thing is that Hao Yun and An Xiaoxi acted in it...

More importantly, it's a love movie!

The most unsatisfactory thing about "Back to 20" is that the story is not focused on love.

There is a little love cost in it, but not much.

Now Hao Yun has finally started to make a real love movie, and everyone will invest no matter how much money it costs.

When other projects attract investment, the producers do all kinds of calculations and the investors are all picky. When it comes to Hao Yun, he likes to chat with a bunch of people.

Unknowingly, the project was negotiated.

No one asked him to make a PPT to explain to everyone where each investment was spent.

"I don't know, I just listen to him."

An Xiaoxi saw that everyone was staring at her, and quickly explained.

"Acting." Hao Yun gave a positive answer.

He even planned to take An Xiaoxi to the Miao Village to collect folk songs next year to add some local elements to "Your Name".
