This actor just wants to verify

Chapter 716: Earn money while standing!

Hao Yun took the revised version of "Twelve Citizens" from Jiang Wen.

The version given to Jiang Wen was the version discussed by his law seniors, and some suggestions from Chen Xingliang were included.

Of course, Hao Yun also polished it, after all, those people were not professional directors.

The reason why he showed it to Jiang Wen was that he guessed that Jiang Wen might be interested, and secondly, he hoped that Jiang Wen could introduce some old drama actors to him.

Jiang Wen complained at first.

From his point of view, he would definitely complain, because it was a new script, and his "Let the Bullets Fly" was not good yet.

Well, he didn't think it was his fault.

Then he made an appointment with Hao Yun to talk about the script of "Let the Bullets Fly" the next day.

"Back to 20" was finished, and the military training was over. Hao Yun really couldn't find an excuse to refuse.

He showed up at Jiang Wen's house the next day.

"Don't stuff it, take all of these out, here, and here..."

Hao Yun wanted to slap the final version of the script of "Let the Bullets Fly" directly on Jiang Wen's face, but he also knew that no matter what was given to Jiang Wen, he had to change it to feel comfortable.

It's tiring to have such a master.

"This is very important..." Jiang Wen felt a little guilty. This part was agreed upon last time, but he stuffed something in again.

"Without this, it's very important!" Hao Yun was very strong.

He had to be strong. Hao Yun's idea was to release it in 2009, and we would pay tribute to the 60th anniversary.

"Jinling" has a similar idea.

It's almost 2008, and the script hasn't been completed yet. In addition, Jiang Wen's speed of shooting for one or two years at a time, by the time it's finished, the opportunity will be gone.

Seeing that Jiang Wen wanted to say something, Hao Yun asked in a deep voice: "Didn't we say that we have to make money standing up this time!"

"Alas, I'm not willing to accept it!" Jiang Wen said angrily.

There was an overspending situation when shooting "The Sun"

Fortunately, the movie king, Mr. Yang, admires Jiang Wen very much and gives him as much as he needs.

But taking someone's money and not giving them a corresponding return is just a waste of favors.

Now that "The Sun" has not been released yet, he actually already knows that the box office will not be very good.

With a cost of 60 million, I don't know if it can have a box office of 20 or 30 million.

Even if it can be sold overseas, it is unlikely to recover the cost.

It would be good if the overseas copyright can be sold for one million US dollars.

Like Hao Yun, he was able to sell the overseas copyright of "Bullfighting" for 1.5 million US dollars because he made overseas film distributors crazy with "Whiplash".

They are willing to give Hao Yun a face.

In order to continue to sell Hao Yun's next film like "Whiplash" to them.

Other audio and video copyrights can't be sold at much price.

So, when Jiang Wen saw the line designed by Hao Yun, "I want to stand and make money", he felt touched.

He really wanted to stand and make money once.

"That's right, just cram it in the next one. Uncle Jiang, I have a suggestion for you. If you have too many things to cram in, it's better to cram less into one movie and make more movies to spread the cram in."

Originally, one movie was made every three years, but now it's three a year.

If the cost is reduced, I don't believe that there won't be enough space.

Jiang Wen has never made money from making movies, but a lot of capital wants to invest in him.

There is no way, even some capital is his fans.

"It's not much..."

Jiang Wen weakly defended.

In fact, he wanted to cram in more, but he was very restrained.

Zhou Yun, who was holding the child, heard this and laughed out loud. This master is getting less and less confident in front of his apprentice.

"Don't worry about the others. We have to make money from this movie."

Hao Yun saw Zhou Yun coming out and decided to save some face for his master.

"You..." Jiang Wen suddenly said, "I don't care about the script. You make a final version and I'll shoot it."

This time, not to mention Hao Yun, even Zhou Yun's eyes widened.

What is a movie?

Movies are her husband's life.

If you put his son and the movie on the scale, the weight of the movie is probably heavier than his son.

Unexpectedly, Jiang Wen actually planned to hand over the script to Hao Yun completely.

I don't know whether to say that he wants to make money or has 100% confidence in his apprentice.

"Okay!" Hao Yun agreed very straightforwardly.

He suspected that "Let the Bullets Fly" was originally Jiang Wen's movie, but it was given to him by the system in advance.

In other words, the system actually gave him the version shot by Jiang Wen.

In this case, he just took out the final version and it was done.

Everyone is happy.

Hao Yun likes to make quick decisions. No matter how difficult the script is, he will not spend more than three months, and he only squeezes out a short time every day.

After such a big thing, Hao Yun and Jiang Wen both felt relieved.

Jiang Wen didn't have much obsession with the tribute, but if it could be released in 2009, it would be pretty good.

They talked about investment again.

Yinghuang said he would invest in five movies of Jiang Wen, but it was not the money for making five movies. No matter how rich Yinghuang was, he couldn't be so generous.

They just invested in all five movies.

Since the scripts were handed over to Hao Yun, he let Hao Yun take care of the investment.

Hao Yun quickly planned out several major producers.

Yinghuang and Huaying, these are all very important capitals for Jiang Wen.

Jiang Wen himself must also pay some money.

Moreover, he has already compromised with the business, and he may not compromise again in the future. The opportunity to make money cannot be given up completely.

The three companies will share 50%.

They can negotiate the specific division by themselves.

If they can't get it all, Hao Yun will help deal with it.

As for the other 50%, Anhao Film and Television and Black Bean Media will take part of it, and the rest depends on who is willing to pay.

Aunt Hua may not invest.

On the one hand, they are not optimistic about Jiang Wen, and on the other hand, they have to take into account Ma Dagang's feelings.

There was a time when Aunt Hua chose between Ma Dagang and Jiang Wen, and wanted to find a fixed partner.

The final result is obvious.

Ma Dagang opened the Lunar New Year file, and Jiang Wen made "The Devils Are Coming". Moreover, Ma Dagang often made a movie a year, but Jiang Wen only made one movie every few years.

No company can accept such a difficult director.

However, Guangxian Media, Bona Films, Hengdian Films, etc. are all crying for money, and Hao Yun has no worries about finding funds.

Even the Bayi Film Studio, which rarely invests, invested in several films after tasting the sweetness.

The situation of enterprises like them is getting more and more difficult. If they don't try to curry favor with the powerful, they may be finished one day.

Hao Yun's "Jinling" also needs investment.

Jinling is responsible for killing but not burying. The political achievements are counted by them, but they don't spend money and work.

However, there is no rush for this matter for the time being.

These projects are for next year. Only "Battle of Changsha" is left to be filmed this year.

Yes, there is also "Wolf Tooth".

Wu Jing invited Hao Yun and An Xiaoxi to guest star as the protagonists of the level-breaking little boss.

Hao Yun and An Xiaoxi play the male and female killers in the killer world.

There is no need to go to Hong Kong to shoot at that time. The production area of ​​"Wolf Tooth" is Hong Kong, and the filming location is Hong Kong and the mainland.

The same will be true for "Twelve Citizens".

The production area and the story background are both in Hong Kong, but the filming location is mainly in the mainland. Just go there to shoot some outdoor scenes.

Even the lines are in Mandarin.

Hao Yun quite likes this method. It has certain advantages in introducing the film to the mainland, and it can be directly released in Taiwan without being subject to Taiwan's restrictions on mainland films.

When Jiang Wen talked about the production cost, both of them thought it would cost 100 million.

If Zhou Ruifa was not hired, at least 30 million could be saved on the film remuneration.

However, such a film is very expensive in both production and promotion. Hao Yun is also worried that Jiang Wen will waste film and delay the production period, so the budget must be more generous.

Promotion is also very important.

People who like Jiang Wen's films really like them, but ordinary movie fans are very unfriendly and say they can't understand them.

Even if he wants to make money this time, it is not certain that anyone will believe it.

So it is necessary to do enough promotion.

Hao Yun relies on hype to promote the film. "Little Forest" is even equivalent to only spending the money on cutting the trailer.

However, hype is a double-edged sword.

Just like Zhang Jizhong, everyone was still buying into it at the beginning, but later, whether it was the media or the public, they were not fooled by him at all.

Even if Hao Yun is hyping up celebrity gossip that everyone likes to hear, there will be a day when people get tired of hearing it.

So it is still most important to promote the movie honestly.

Of course, the premise is that the quality of the movie is good enough. If "Little Forest" is not of good quality, not to mention Hao Yun hyping up gossip, even if it is really a marriage, not many people will buy it.

Jiang Wen handed the script to Hao Yun, and he went to participate in the Venice Film Festival.

Hao Yun took An Xiaoxi there after he was done with his work.

His "Little Forest" was not registered for the competition, so he did not join the excitement of the opening ceremony.

However, the movie will be screened as a screening film for a few times in order to sell overseas copyrights.

The day they arrived in Venice, it happened to be the premiere of "The Ring", so Hao Yun took An Xiaoxi to support it.
