Entertainment, I just like making movies

Chapter 5 Finalizing Investment

"Ning Hao told me that you are very talented and have great ideas."

In the office, Han Sanpin sat on the large boss chair and got straight to the point.

"I heard it's a comedy. Do you have the script?"

"I've got it, please give me some advice, Mr. Han."

Fang Ziheng stepped forward and took out the detailed script from his bag, his attitude was serious and well-behaved.

He knew very well that the reason why the mountain eagle took the time to see him today was for Ning Hao's sake.

China Film Group naturally occupies the greatest advantage in the China Entertainment Film Industry. It has been in business for 20 years and has few rivals.

China Film Group Corporation has appeared in several movies with over 3 billion yuan in later generations. It is definitely a big thick leg.

His film career has just started and he needs thick legs to protect him.

"You guys sit down first."

Han Sanpin waved his hand, asked the two of them to sit down, and turned to read the script seriously.

Ning Hao shrugged, indicating that Fang Ziheng should be calm and calm.

As soon as the two sat down, a beautiful young lady wearing a serious uniform came in and made tea for them with a soft voice.

"Nobody."

Looking at the four big characters on the cover of the script, Han Sanpin murmured in his heart that it was probably a comedy about ordinary people.

That's good, the idea is correct.

He knows that it is difficult for new directors nowadays. In order not to ruin their brand and go further on the film road, many new directors will choose low-cost movies.

On the one hand, it is convenient to control the shooting, on the other hand, it is also worried about box office losses.

Don't be like those sixth-generation directors who have no ability and complain all day long!

Opening the script, Han Sanpin glanced at Fang Ziheng who was sitting upright with his peripheral vision, feeling a little satisfied.

Let’s not talk about the script, just the choice of movie genre and self-positioning are the right choices. He is a self-aware seedling.

After a long while, Han Sanpin finished reading the script, with a smile on his face and asked: "The filming location is Chongqing, right?"

"Yes, it was filmed in Chongqing. The terrain of Chongqing is rugged, which is very suitable for this kind of absurd comedy."

Fang Ziheng moved his body and expressed his specific shooting ideas.

Chongqing has a large population. Due to geographical and topographic reasons, its development is slightly behind the other three major cities.

But it is precisely because of the special terrain that it meets the needs of many film and television dramas.

Chongqing goes straight up to the 20th floor and the terrain changes to the first floor in an instant, which naturally has a comedic effect and absurdity. Shooting there virtually adds a lot of drama.

In one, Sichuan dialect is as funny and universal as the Northeastern dialect.

Even if the audience does not speak Sichuan dialect, the movie does not hinder the sensory experience at all, but can add a comedy effect to the audience.

"Okay, China Film has accepted this book. How much investment do you still need, Xiao Fang?" Han Sanpin nodded with satisfaction and agreed to distribute "The Unknown".

Fang Ziheng felt a big stone in his heart. He took a sip of tea and talked about the current investment vacancies.

"The total investment of the unknown people is 12 million. I paid for 6 million myself. My alma mater and Beijing Film Production Company promised 3 million, and there is still 3 million short of the quota."

China Film Group's theater chains account for most of the domestic market and are the largest distributors.

With China Film taking the lead, the opening of the film can account for at least 20% of the film schedule.

You can’t give too much investment space, otherwise China Film will not accept it, and you can’t give too little investment space, otherwise people will look down on you.

For a small-budget movie with a budget of around 10 million, 3 million is just right.

After "Crazy Stone" grossed 30 million at the box office, small-budget comedies with exciting plots have always been a hot pursuit of investors.

Han Sanpin is a director, knows screenwriting, and has secured film distribution, so he has no reason to refuse a small investment of three million.

"China Film wants three million, when will it start filming?"

Sure enough, Director Han didn't even blink and made the final decision on the investment.

"October 10th, there are still a few actors who have not been decided yet."

Fang Ziheng stood up and thanked Director Han with a sincere smile.

During the period after returning to the imperial capital, he first went to the industrial, commercial and taxation departments and registered a media company.

Hengyu Film and Television Media.

Although it is said to be a company, it is actually a film and television studio, mainly for the convenience of filming movies and the placement of a large number of novel copyrights he bought.

In addition, Fang Ziheng also went to the film school to find a teacher to help the Beijing Film Studio make a fortune together.

Although Beijing Film Studio lives up to its former glory, it has a deep foundation and extensive connections.

After all, Xu Zheng's people can only be used once on the Lost Journey crew. If Fang Ziheng wants to make movies with peace of mind in the future, he must have his own shooting team.

Beijing Film Studio has a lot of professional teams. Although these people are working in the public sector, they will not refuse to go out to take jobs.

Fang Ziheng recruited more than a dozen senior brothers and sisters, all of whom are professionals in photography, props, executive direction, and editing.

After the business was finalized, Director Han invited the two of them to drink tea and chat about the current situation of domestic films.

Ning Hao mentioned "No Man's Land", and Director Han told him not to be impatient and to wait while he continued to modify and delete the inappropriate scenes in the movie.

Speaking of "No Man's Land", I can only say that Ning Hao was really unlucky. Who would have thought that what happened right after the filming of the movie was completed.

Near noon, the two walked out of the gate of China Film and Television and drove to China Theater.

On the way, Ning Hao turned on the car music and chatted about interesting things about the three major universities.

"Don't mention it, the acting skills of the students from China National Theater are indeed better than those from Nortel."

"Chinese opera produces actors, and Nortel produces stars. It's not just talk." Fang Ziheng added with a smile.

Nortel not only produces stars, but also directors.

Nortel has produced so many directors. When choosing new actors, they immediately went to the Chinese Theater. Teachers from Nortel privately cursed these directors as white-eyed wolves.

But criticism comes with criticism. Lao Mouzi and Chen Daren took the lead, and directors of the five and six generations followed suit.

As for new directors like Ning Hao and Fang Ziheng, they still give priority to Chinese dramas when choosing roles.

"When you went to Nortel, those old guys didn't ask you for a role."

Ning Hao took out his cigarettes and picked up whichever pot he didn't want.

I don't know what happened to this guy, but he suddenly came to my door a few days ago and wanted to invest in "The Unknown".

Fang Ziheng couldn't control him, so he had to agree to give him a limit of one million.

I guess this guy went back and told his wife Xing Na about the script.

Xing Na's business vision is much better than Ning Hao's.

As for the movie casting, the teachers at the school did talk to Fang Ziheng and asked him to look at the role selection and give priority to younger students.

Fang Ziheng walked around the Nortel Performance Department twice, and finally returned to his hometown with a disappointed heart.

how to say?

It's not that Nortel doesn't have actors with good acting skills and famous names, but what he wants is a little girl who lives in a single-parent family and is full of resentment and disappointment towards her father.

This kind of role has great age restrictions and can only be found among sophomores and juniors.

Students from Nortel started acting in their sophomore year, while students from China Theater Academy are still working hard on campus to practice their basic skills.

In terms of newcomer roles, Zhongxi really has an advantage.

"As for the heroine, do you really have no one you like?"

"Yes, fairy sister Liu Qianqian." Fang Ziheng blurted out without even thinking about it.

"Get out of here, uncle, you're not pure at first sight."

"I was considering it for the sake of the movie. The female character I play with is from a single-parent family. You also know Liu Qianqian's family situation. She is really suitable."

Ning Hao hummed twice, looking like I believed you.

The young lady is the treasure of the family. Her father returns to China and her mother loves her so much. Where does the lack of family affection come from?

Just say it if you have bad thoughts, there are so many tricks.

Didi

When the car arrived at the Central Theater, it took a long time to find a parking space.

Entering the school, Fang Ziheng and Ning Hao walked around the audience, feasting their eyes.

"Tsk, tsk, the quality of female students in Chinese drama has improved a lot."

Fang Ziheng looked around, admiring the many beautiful long-legged ladies, looking for suitable movie roles.

"In terms of enrollment, there is no difference between China National Theater and Nortel."

Ning Hao took out a pair of sunglasses and put them on, looking at the beauty unscrupulously.

Damn it!

Fang Ziheng swung his arms away from this guy, ran up the stairs and arrived in front of the third-year classroom of the Chinese Theater Performance Department.

"Who are you? What are you doing here?"

A sunny and handsome boy with broken hair came forward and stopped Fang Ziheng.
