This actor just wants to verify

The cake "Soldier Assault" is not new.

A company had bought the copyright from Lan Xiaolong before, but the so-called ratings factors: star cast, bizarre stories, love between men and women, grand scenes, etc., had nothing to do with this script.

Therefore, the script was tossed around for five years but was never completed.

The agreement signed by Lan Xiaolong and the other party is that if the agreement cannot be completed within five years, the copyright will automatically expire.

Then it fell into the hands of Zhang Qian of Bayi Studio.

Zhang Qian works at the Bayi Film Studio, has communicated with various departments of the army, and is very familiar with the situation of the army.

It's a pity that Bayi Film Studio supports it, but the funds to support it are far from enough, and it is far behind the budget.

In the end, I could only turn to Yunnan Taiwan and Aunt Hua.

Yunnan TV agreed to invest instead of buy it, provide money to support the filming, and later obtain the broadcast rights.

Aunt Hua spent 8 million to make up for the funding gap.

However, unexpected events occurred, and the personnel at Yunnan Taiwan changed. Once the emperor and his courtiers came together, the 2 million they had agreed upon fell through.

And Aunt Hua was also hit hard, and she couldn't allocate any money for a while.

What's more, Aunt Hua will fully support Ma Dagang in filming "The Night Banquet" in order to calm down the turmoil caused by Wang Jinghua and countless other artists.

To attract new blood, the company also needs cash flow.

The launch originally scheduled for August can only be postponed.

However, neither producer Zhang Qian, director Kang Honglei, nor screenwriter Lan Xiaolong have any intention of giving up.

At worst, we have to wait until next year, when Aunt Hua stabilizes.

"Hello, Mr. Zhang, I'm Hao Yun!" Hao Yun and several others made an appointment at a teahouse, not far away from Liu Heping's creative courtyard.

"This is Lan Xiaolong and this is Kang Honglei." Zhang Qian introduced Hao Yun.

The four of them took their seats.

"What happened to the TV series?" Hao Yun didn't mince words, he went straight to the point and asked his doubts.

"Actually, it's still a matter of funds. Aunt Hua can't provide the money for the time being, and no one will take over for a while." Zhang Qian was also very sincere, and his style of business negotiation was not suitable for today's occasion.

"How much difference?" Hao Yun asked.

"The total cost is 12 million, and now the difference is 10 million. The difference is a bit large. Now we can only do some preliminary preparations..." Zhang Qian continued to confess.

There is really no need to learn how to solicit customers at a train station.

You are the only one left, get in the car quickly, get in the car and leave.

In fact, after going around and pulling one after another, they won’t even take it away without overloading it for you.

"Ten million, how many shares are there?" Hao Yun continued to ask.

"Eighty percent!"

In fact, it should be 83.3% of the share, but the actual share is generally not based on the proportion of investment, and there are many factors involved.

So Hao Yun didn't think it was strange. He thought for a while and said: "Okay, 10 million, 80%, I will handle the money. In addition, I want to be the producer of the TV series..."

Zhang Qian, Kang Honglei, and Lan Xiaolong were all dumbfounded.

This young man is an upstart in the capital circle, and the grand event last night has long been presented to the public through the lens of the media.

Outsiders only think that Hao Yun has made "Those Years" and it is natural to celebrate.

But everyone in the industry understands that this is actually a coronation ceremony given to him by the capital circle, which fully recognizes his ability to direct and produce projects.

There will definitely be a lot of capital to support his projects in the future.

Therefore, when they heard Wang Shunliu say that Hao Yun was very concerned about this project and was interested in participating, they rushed over without even having time to eat breakfast.

Of course giving money is a good thing, it is a life-saving straw, but having the title of producer is very worrying.

Because the producer cannot give it casually.

Theoretically speaking, the producer is a representative sent by the producer and has no right to interfere with the content - Zhang Jizhong is so powerful, but he doesn't actually shoot the movie scenes.

However, the producer is the one who specializes in interfering with the content.

Stronger producers can make directors become mere decorations, such as Xu Ke, who is the producer of films such as "The Swordsman" and "New Dragon Inn".

After his supervision, few people can remember who directed these two films.

"Don't get me wrong. Although I am interested in shooting techniques and processes, at most I just want to learn. My real mission is to promote TV series. Well, I learned a little from Mr. Zhang Jizhong, but I have to apply what I have learned, right?"

When Hao Yun said this, he was very calm, as if he was discussing the extremely hot summer in the capital.

"Zhang Jizhong is really good at hype..." Zhang Qian smiled bitterly and nodded. He didn't have that ability. If he had that ability, he wouldn't have only invested 12 million in Sosou.

These days, 12 million is really a small cost.

If thirty episodes are shot, the production cost for each episode is only 400,000, including the actors' salaries.

"The Best in the World" starring Hao Yun cost a full 30 million, and "The Legend of the Condor Heroes" also cost 30 million.

Because he is good at hype, Zhang Jizhong dares to quote a cost of 30 million for each TV series. He makes money in various ways during the production process, just because he dares to ask for and make money.

Each TV series he produces can earn at least tens of millions of yuan, with profits generally around 30%.

Otherwise, he will be so idle that his balls will ache while he hypes up everything.

If you can learn from Zhang Jizhong to help operate it, it will indeed be easier to sell for money.

"I have no objection. I am willing to cooperate." Kang Honglei felt that it was appropriate. If the TV series made money, it would also be good for him as a director. At least the next time he wanted to shoot a TV series, a film and television company would immediately invest money.

"We all have no objection. This money..." Zhang Qian and Lan Xiaolong looked at each other and began to look forward to it.

"Money is not a big problem. Ten million can be deposited at any time, but I have other conditions."

This made the three main creators frown.

Is it to change the role again?

To be honest, the casting of this TV series has always been under great pressure. Yunnan TV wants to change the role, Aunt Hua wants to change the role, and even the Bayi Film Studio wants to change the role. This newcomer Hao Yun will not want to change it too.

Brother, the male lead is your family.

"I have a military-themed script here. I recently got the guidance of Teacher Liu Heping. I have almost finished writing it. I would like to ask Teacher Lan Xiaolong to help me take a look..." Hao Yun took out a script bound into a large book of A4 paper from his backpack.

Compared with the system reward, it has been modified a lot.

Hao Yun really needs a professional to help him.

"It will take a while to finish it." Lan Xiaolong took it and read the story outline first.

He did not look down on Hao Yun. He even had to look up to such a genius screenwriter.

Hao Yun was the winner of the Cannes Best Screenplay Award and wrote "Those Years" which sold 380 million yuan. Moreover, the status of film practitioners is indeed higher than that of TV practitioners like them.

"It doesn't matter. You can take it and read it slowly. This script is called "My Captain, My Regiment". It is about the Expeditionary Force. We will discuss it later. My other condition..."

It turned out that reading the script was not a condition. The three continued to wait for Hao Yun to finish.

"My other condition is that after we finish shooting "Soldier Assault", the crew should not be disbanded, and we will start shooting this "Captain" directly. Shooting two TV series together can reduce the cost a lot. I plan to invest 28 million in this "Captain"!"

Hao Yun and Liu Heping estimated together that 25 million would definitely be enough to shoot it.

But since "Soldier Assault" was made with 12 million yuan, and the cost was saved by scrimping and saving, adding a little more will definitely make it better.

But Hao Yun couldn't make additional investments after others had made the cost, wouldn't that be a brain-wrecking?

So, he added some budget to the "Leader".

It is indeed more cost-effective to shoot two TV series together, and the equipment, costumes, props, and even some actors can be used directly.

Add another three million, and hope that the quality will be better.

What Hao Yun really wants for these two TV series is word of mouth, otherwise he can earn more by focusing on making movies.

Hearing that "Soldier Assault" can borrow part of the production cost of "Leader", Zhang Qian, Kang Honglei, and Lan Xiaolong agreed almost without hesitation.
