Because of the new movie, Xu Shi became even busier next, and first he decided to invest.
Zhang Yang and Sun Tu came much faster than Xu Shi thought, and it was obvious that the way corn and Mingyue were made was beyond their expectations.
It seems that from this perspective, Xu Shi's new movie is still very optimistic, which has shaken their original ideas.
"Brother Xu, can you tell me about the specific investment situation this time?" Zhang Yang and the others invited Xu Shi to dinner as soon as they arrived in the capital. After three rounds of wine, they began to talk about the main business.
"The total investment is one billion, and the corn and Mingyue each offer 200 million, the Jingwu Sect each offer 400 million, and some other entertainment companies offer 100 million, and there is still a 100 million investment share left. If you want to join, this 100 million share can be given to you." Xu Shi said briefly first.
Then his face became solemn, "Brother Zhang, Brother Sun, I won't say much about anything else. We have known each other for a long time. After so long, the two brothers have helped me a lot, so I don't care about the two of them.
Actually, I was not sure about this movie. It was completely different from the style of the movies we filmed before, and I don’t know how market accepts it.
Although I can guarantee that all this money will be used for filming movies, no one can guarantee the market until it is verified.
In addition, the investment this time is so big, so I hope you two will be more cautious.”
Xu Shi was heartless.
Zhang Yang and Sun Tu looked at each other and felt the sincerity in Xu Shi's words.
Then Zhang Yang said, "I know that doing business with Brother Xu is to save worry and worry. No matter what, no matter what, we will invest at least 50 million."
This is also their promise to Xu Shi.
From the psychological price at the beginning to the 50 million now, it is because of Xu Shi's words.
Next, the two asked in detail about the specific situation, and Xu Shi also explained all the situation.
In the end, the two did not decide whether to invest 100 million yuan, but an investment of 50 million yuan was guaranteed.
............
Three days later, the conference room of Jingwumen.
Corn, Mingyue, and some entertainment companies gathered here, and today we are discussing specific investments.
Xu Shi walked in, first politely talked to everyone for a while, then sat in the main seat and said, "Then I will get straight to the topic next. The purpose of everyone's visit is very clear, but before that, I also had some things to say in front."
Xu Shi looked around and said, "Everyone knows my style. The investment this time is so big, so I want to put some ugly words in front of it.
First, the investment funds must be paid on the account within the specified time to ensure that the filming of the movie will not be affected by some other factors. Once the investment is determined, no regrets are allowed.
Second, the film casting matter is fully handed over to the film production team, and others have no right to intervene and are not allowed to stuff people into it.
Of course, if it is really suitable for a certain role, it can be adapted, but this must be very suitable.
Third, during the production process, too many people are not allowed to touch each other, and everything needs to be followed by the decisions of the production team."
Xu Shiyang said a lot, but everyone was not very good at listening to it. Although everyone knew Xu Shi's rules, they felt a little uncomfortable just after Xu Shi said this.
But Xu Shi did this to make them feel a little calmer. After all, it was such a big investment. Although they mentioned Jingwumen and Yumi, the rest of the investment was not very big.
But the lowest is 10 million, which is enough for many companies to invest in two small-cost movies.
After all, not everyone is as rich as Jingwumen and Yumi. Even Zhang Yang and Sun Tu have made a little easier because they have made a lot of money with Xu Shi over the years.
After explaining these rules, Xu Shi saw that no one raised any objections, so he started the formal topic directly.
This investment meeting lasted for two days in total. In these two days, except for Jingwu Sect, there was no big quarrel, and the rest were constantly quarrels.
Although Yumi and Mingyue have already identified the investment share, the exercise has not yet been decided.
According to the conditions offered by Xu Shi, the exercising of the movie this time is naturally theirs.
Originally, the two companies had already agreed, but that was a normal situation. This time it was different. Such a big investment, and the style was very different from before.
Either make a big profit or lose a lot.
Exercise of rights can basically make a steady profit without losing money. If you lose money, you can still stop losing money. If you make money, you will make more money.
So both companies want to exercise this time, and no one is willing to give up.
Other companies are noisy because of investment share. Some want to invest more, some want to invest less, and some have other ideas, but they are different anyway.
The final result was that Jingwumen invested 400 million yuan, Yumi and Mingyue each invested 200 million yuan, Zhang Yang and Sun Tu invested 60 million yuan, and the rest of the company was included.
In the end, Zhang Yang and Sun Tu were still a little worried. They felt that the investment risk this time was too great, so each of them only invested 30 million.
This can also be regarded as giving Xu Shi a face and guaranteeing that they will have their share in the next movie.
The exercise of rights fell into the hands of Yumi. It has to be said that Yumi earned more money in the exercise of Xu Shi Film, and the price he was willing to pay was greater.
As for some other scattered conditions, there were rough results in the past two days.
"Okay, the final result has come out. So please deposit your own investment into the crew account in October." Xu Shi said at last.
With a few months left, Xu Shi needs to improve the script and prepare for the preliminary work. This is Xu Shi. If it were someone else, there would be no situation where the script had not been released, and such a large investment would be determined first.
After seeing off these people, Xu Shijiang Han Shang, Zhang Kui and Cheng Guo all came over. They were the directors of Jingwu Sect, and this movie also needed their help.
"Lao Cheng, this time you are the director of the movie, and Han Shang and Zhang Kui are the main assistant directors. What do you think?" Xu Shi said.
How to say the position of deputy director? Some associate directors can say a little while filming, while most associate directors are responsible for handling various errands.
The transfer of actors, the arrangement of extras, the use of crew costume props, and other miscellaneous things.
However, Xu Shi obviously did not ask Zhang Kui and Han Shang to do such a thing this time, but wanted them to really participate in the production.
As for those chores, of course, other assistant directors are responsible for it.
"Brother Xu, can I do it? I have never touched a movie." Han Shang was a little confused. He was really surprised by Xu Shi's arrangement.
There is still a big difference between movies and TV series.
Xu Shi said: "You have your job then, and this time it will be considered as a way to increase your experience. There is a lot of work that needs to be prepared this time. Lao Cheng would not be busy alone during the shooting."
When Han Shang heard Xu Shidu say this, he didn't say much, and he was also a little excited.
Now no one in the company knows that a billion-dollar project will be launched soon, and most artists in the company will participate.
Originally, Han Shang thought he had no hope, after all, he was filming TV series, not movies.
But at this moment, I heard Xu Shi say that he would join in, how could he not be excited? This is a big project worth one billion.
Then Xu Shi looked at Cheng Guodao: "Old Cheng, are you under pressure?"
Cheng Guo smiled bitterly and said, "How could there be no pressure? This is one billion. It is considered the largest investment in China's movie so far?"
Xu Shidao: "It's not that, although many movies don't have that much investment in the open, they secretly consume more than this number of resources."
Of course, Cheng Guo understood what he was talking about, but that was supported by the state, and many things cannot be solved by spending money.
Cheng Guo knew that Xu Shi comforted him, but in fact he could refuse, because he had just won the Best Director. If he failed this time, then he, the Best Director, would be like not winning, and he might be questioned.
But in the same way, if he can make this movie a success, his status and fame will be relatively improved again.
"Okay, I'll take this job." Cheng Guo was unable to resist this temptation in the end.
And he didn't want to miss this opportunity either.
You know, this is a one billion investment, who wants to miss it?
As a director, the more investment the better, the better. No matter how much investment you invest, it will not be enough for them.
Not to mention one billion, even one hundred billion, as a competent director, he can spend all the money on film production without leaving a single cent.
Xu Shi did not ask Zhang Kui for his opinion, nor did Zhang Kui have any opinions. He was already prepared and would like to follow Xu Shi for a few more years.
"The most important thing next is the special effects company. You need Lao Cheng to help you inspect this.
This time, you must choose the best one. Don’t be afraid of spending money, just want the best one. You will no longer be limited to China, but you will look for it all over the world.
But it is best to have a special effects company in China. After all, they have such a cultural foundation. I am afraid that some of the mythical special effects produced by foreigners do not conform to China's aesthetic views."
Cheng Guo nodded and said, "I know this, but I can't be busy alone. Please ask General Manager Xu Mei to send a few people to help me."
Xu Shi raised his eyebrows. Cheng Guo was looking for someone to supervise himself.
When Cheng Guo saw Xu Shi's expression, he smiled awkwardly and said, "What, I'm really not sure that I can resist those temptations. Do you believe it or not? As long as this news is released, those companies will go crazy.
At that time, all the beauties and money will blind my eyes instantly.
Then don’t let the movie be made and you will get divorced and go to jail.”
Cheng Guo said the truth, and he was confident in resisting the general temptation. After all, he had been in the entertainment industry for so many years, and he still had this concentration.
But when facing the big cake of one billion, he was really not sure.
He believed that if the decision was in his hands, then as long as he spoke, all desires and desires would be satisfied.
So he put a shackle on himself before he started.
Xu Shi hadn't thought of this at first. He believed in Cheng Guo very much. After all, the two of them were already friends.
What Chengguo said is not unreasonable. He believes in Chengguo, but he doesn't want to test Chengguo. What if Chengguo really doesn't resist?
By then, the two of them would be completely no friends, and this situation was not something Xu Shi was willing to see.
Xu Shi nodded and said, "Okay, I will talk to my elder sister later."
Then Xu Shi told them something, and Xu Shi didn't need to ask others to help him in casting, and wanted to decide on his own.
