Locked by my childhood sweetheart's junior
Chapter 101
Ji Chen smiled, "Don't be nervous, I'm not Li Biejun's lobbyist, I just want to ask you what you think, are you interested in this film?"
Tong Muhan said, "I'm quite interested, but the investment in this film is too high, I think it will hit the street."
Ji Chenman didn't care, "Who's to say that this kind of thing that hasn't been filmed is accurate, maybe the box office will explode? Besides, it's not you who pay the bill, what are you worried about, can you just earn the salary yourself? "
Tong Muhan was distressed, "Mr. Ji, don't be joking. Isn't Director Li's meaning very clear? I want to be a leading actor, so I have to invest in Zhiheng. Zhiheng may think it's nothing, but it's still money, and it's still good." It’s a big sum, I don’t want him to lose so much money because of me, and although Director Li has said that this film is aimed at winning awards, we all know that awards are not so easy to win. What if you can’t get it? At that time, if there is no box office, if there is no reputation, then the whole company will become a joke in the circle.”
Ji Chen laughed again, "It doesn't matter whether you can win the prize or not. First of all, you made a mistake in the logical relationship. It is to obtain Zhiheng's investment. Now Li Biejun is trying hard to make you agree, because you are the most suitable person he is looking for. Others either have acting skills but no funds, or have funds but no acting skills, they are not qualified partners."
"Is there a difference?" Tong Muhan was confused by Ji Chen's words, why did he feel that what Ji Chen said meant the same as what he said?
"Of course, you are asking him for the former, and he is begging you for the latter. The status is different. The choice is yours, not him."
"But you still need funds, don't you?" Tong Muhan felt a little sorry for this good script, but he was still more rational than emotional, "I have already decided that I will not make this film, and I will let Brother Lin refuse him tomorrow. "
"Don't be so anxious, have you asked Zhiheng what he means?"
Tong Muhan shook his head, "You don't need to talk to him about this." He knew Zhou Zhiheng's character, if the other party knew that he was interested in acting in this film, no matter how much Li Biejun offered him, he would be happy to be taken advantage of by him, so Tong Muhan could only pretend not to care Looking interested, he refused to drop the film first.
Ji Chen said, "It's fine if you don't tell him. In fact, I've read the script too, and I think it's pretty good. Li Biejun probably went straight for the award. I also think there is hope for the award. Maybe even the three major European film festivals There are all dramas, as the saying goes, if you don't want to part with children, you can't play with wolves, let's get ready and get the investment rights of this film, what do you think?"
Tong Muhan was surprised, "You and I? Is this okay?" When it comes to a script he loves, it is of course possible to ask him to take out his own assets/properties for filming, but the amount he can give out now is not much, about 3000 million is enough It's at the top, but the cost of this film is between 4 and 5 million. Ji Chen's words mean that most of the investment is borne by him. Can he afford the money?
Ji Chen's eyes widened, "Why, look down on me? I'm still a son of a son. When my old man died, my brother gave me a lot of money. What do you think? I'm much richer than your man!"
Ji Chen's words are not really bragging. Although Ji Chen and his family had a very unpleasant quarrel because of Zhou Anyan's incident, almost to the point of breaking off the relationship, but Ji Chen has a good brother who loves his younger brother, Ji Pan, and has been secretly giving it to him. The younger brother kept the equity and dividends. Later, when Ji Chen's father died, he also had some kind thoughts in his heart, and decided to give this son who didn't like it and neglected him some compensation that he deserved, so Ji Chen's little life was very happy. It's comfortable, and it's not relentless to spend money to invest in movies.
Of course, all of the above is another story.
Ji Chen said with a smile, "They're all on our own, so there's no need to talk about the salary. Li Biejun said he can use his salary to offset the investment, so you can follow suit. As for the others, Li Biejun and I have some good friends." Friends, they can also perform with zero pay, wouldn't this cost more than half?"
Tong Muhan said anxiously, "But..." How can it be enough to save the film salary?Post-production, special effects, distribution and publicity, which one is not a project that requires money?What's more, this film needs to shoot complex and changeable cosmic scenes, and almost every minute of special effects is indispensable, and the post-production of 1 minute will cost at least 1 US dollars. The estimated value given by Lin Longquan is 50 The 2 million is still the guaranteed amount. He is really embarrassed to let Ji Chen share the loss of money.
Ji Chen seemed to see what he was thinking, "You don't have to worry about the special effects, isn't the studio I invested in doing special effects? They have robbed me of my money for several years, so it would be unreasonable not to give the boss a discount this time. I've made an agreement with Li Biejun, and I'll leave the rest of the matter to me, no problem."
The light and shadow special effects studio invested by Ji Chen was listed for business a few years ago, and it enjoys a high reputation in the industry. The works it creates can be compared with large-scale special effects companies in Europe and America, but there are few people and the business it undertakes is relatively small. Currently it belongs to A state of short supply.
What Ji Chen meant was that he wanted to use his status as the boss to jump in the queue, and he didn't plan to pay the full amount yet.Doing so can be said to be very domineering.
"Anyway, don't worry too much about the money. If you want to make a movie, just shoot it." He patted Tong Muhan on the shoulder, "I understand you, a good movie has the charm that people don't care about it, and it makes people catch their ears if they don't make it. Scratch your heart, you don't want to give up, and I don't want to, let's work hard together."
Tong Muhan hesitated for a while, and finally nodded.
Hearing that, Ji Chen couldn't help but raise his lips again, "That's right." He narrowed his eyes, "What did Director Li call this film? "Run to the Sky" is such a silly name, why not just call it "Interstellar Journey" Bar."
"Interstellar Journey" was named by Ji Chen. After hearing this, Li Biejun couldn't help but said angrily, "Are you the director or am I the director?" But he didn't dare to refute Ji Chen , can only mutter "the one who pays is the uncle", while nodding in agreement.
Tong Muhan also signed the male lead contract.
He himself took the initiative to invest an additional 3000 million yuan—this is the most money he can provide at the moment, and then gave up the film's salary. Although Lin Longquan was a little unhappy after knowing his choice, he still supported him. practice.However, due to his obligations as a broker, he and Li Biejun discussed the future dividends.Of course, this film is very likely to lose money, but the process that should be followed is still in accordance with the process. They hired a professional lawyer to review the income division. The contract stipulates that if the box office of the film exceeds 30.00% of the investment, then Tong Muhan You can get the original 800 million remuneration plus 5.00% dividends. If the film box office exceeds 60.00%, then the dividends will become 10%
It sounds pretty cool, but everyone knows that this is just a picture of a big cake. Li Biejun signed the name without even looking at it. He didn't know that he would be annoyed for a long time after this...
There is another person here who is not very happy, and that is Zhou Zhiheng himself. After he knew that Tong Muhan decided to star in this film the next year, he said to Tong Muhan in a cold voice, "If you want to make a movie, why don't you ask me to invest, go to me Godfather?"
At first, Tong Muhan didn't know that he was secretly angry. It wasn't until he saw the other person's cold face that he realized that this man was jealous. He thought "this can also be jealous" and comforted the other person very skillfully, "This is not true. I made the decision, it was Teacher Ji who offered to invest, and Director Li, well, he probably thinks that the investor is also from filming and is less likely to point fingers."
"Didn't I come from filming?" Zhou Zhiheng retorted.
Tong Muhan put his arms around him and said obediently, "Okay, we've already talked about it, and I'm not at a disadvantage, so don't worry about such trivial matters."
What can Zhou Zhiheng say, can he say that what Tong Muhan did is undoubtedly out of his control?Now everyone knows that if you want to recruit Tong Muhan, you can go directly through Ji Chen, so what about him?Obviously he is the man standing behind him!
Zhou Zhiheng felt uncomfortable, but he didn't lose his temper, he just sat there sulking himself.
Tong Muhan sat on his lap, holding back his embarrassment and turning his face, his head resting on Zhou Zhiheng's forehead. "Aren't you happy anymore? Don't be like this, okay, I'm not used to seeing your cold face. "
"No." Zhou Zhiheng said in a low voice, "I'm going to quarrel with my godfather later."
"You don't quarrel." Tong Muhan couldn't help laughing. After getting along for so long, Zhou Zhiheng really rarely loses his temper, let alone scolding others with a bad attitude. He is a very well-mannered man, and he expresses the most negative attitudes. Just don't talk.
——Because someone said it for him, such as Jin Yun or something.
Zhou Zhiheng said, "Whoever said that, I'll call him right now."
He took out his phone and was held down by Tong Muhan again, Tong Muhan couldn't help but smile, raised his head and kissed him on the face, "Childish or not?"
"You have to compensate me." Zhou Zhiheng said.
"Yeah, tell me."
Zhou Zhiheng thought for a while, and stipulated a series of unequal treaties, and Tong Muhan agreed to them one by one, including calling her husband personally, being bolder in bed, etc. Finally, Tong Muhan blushed and said angrily, "Enough is enough... "This child is going to heaven!
Zhou Zhiheng wrapped his arms around his waist and rested his chin on his shoulder, "I'm not happy."
"Okay..." After saying this, Tong Muhan felt distressed again.
"You are mine." The man whispered.
"Of course it's yours." Tong Muhan said.
"How can you accept my godfather's investment, you are not his lover, I should be the one who raises you..."
"..."-_-|||Tong Muhan was speechless, did Zhou Zhiheng fall into an endless loop and couldn't extricate himself?
Zhou Zhiheng returned to his usual mature and steady appearance probably the next day. He decided to talk to Director Li Biejun as the distributor, and Li Biejun took the opportunity to sign many harsh conditions. Said, "Your son is really talented, and he rushed to give money. Now I don't worry that I will lose money..."
Zhou Anyan smiled, "Isn't there an unreliable mother here to set an example?"
Ji Chen: "..." Mom? !Zhou, please tell me clearly!
Tong Muhan said, "I'm quite interested, but the investment in this film is too high, I think it will hit the street."
Ji Chenman didn't care, "Who's to say that this kind of thing that hasn't been filmed is accurate, maybe the box office will explode? Besides, it's not you who pay the bill, what are you worried about, can you just earn the salary yourself? "
Tong Muhan was distressed, "Mr. Ji, don't be joking. Isn't Director Li's meaning very clear? I want to be a leading actor, so I have to invest in Zhiheng.
