The two did not continue the topic and talked about the company's current projects.

"33 Days of Love" is still being filmed, and it will be completed in about ten days at most. The company invested 6.5 million in this project and is considered the main investor. Guangwang invested the remaining 30% and Anle Film and Television 20%...

There are two film projects in preparation, "Xiu Chun Dao 2" and "Big Shot"...

"Xiu Chun Dao 2" was approved last month, and the complete script was released. Lu Yang was selected as the director, with a budget of 50 million to 35 million for production, and about 15 million for promotion...

This time the company invested 30%, with Enlight as the main investor, accounting for half of the investment, while China Film and several other major cinema chains received the remaining 20%...

You have to divide the cake, and then you can make it bigger!

"For "Big Shot," I think the cost can be controlled at around 40 million. Let's invest half of it!"

Guo Songjiang kindly suggested: "...Do I think it would be too risky?"

Shen Changlin retorted: "Is investing half of my own project a risk?"

"Key companies don't have that much money in their accounts!"

"...The account of "Xiu Chun Dao" has not arrived yet?"

"It's not enough even if it arrives. Don't forget, the production of "Xiu Chun Dao 2" and two other TV series will cost money!"

Two TV series, namely "Snow on Thousand Mountains" and "Fireworks Fading"...

"Fireworks Fading" is "Beauty on Fire".

"Snow on Thousand Mountains" cooperates with Mango Channel. The company is responsible for the publishing rights and 20% of the filming funds;

not much.

The total cost is less than 20 million!

After all, at this stage, it’s not yet time to burn money like crazy, and actors’ remuneration doesn’t feel out of reach yet…

In fact, the cost of TV dramas, especially domestic dramas, is purely driven by the actors’ remuneration!

Because the scenes of TV series are usually in fixed studios that are borrowed or rented, the cost of props is not much more expensive than before, at most it has doubled, but the actors' remuneration has increased hundreds of times!

The company only invested about 4 million in "Twilight Snow on Thousand Mountains"...

As for "Fireworks Fading", which is also called "Beautiful Lady", this project is a period drama and a love story of the Republic of China. It's hard to calculate the cost of this thing. If you really want to restore it, just the war scenes in it, 100 million won't be enough for you. !

but…

The drama "Beautiful Lady" involves a bribery case involving high-level executives of the TV station...

Shen Changlin thought about it: "I don't like the drama "Beauty on Fire", let's just publish the rights...or simply transfer the adaptation rights to Enlight..."

Guo Songjiang didn't quite understand Shen Changlin's thoughts: "...why?"

In his opinion, "Beautiful Lady" is a project that is guaranteed to be profitable - with a TV station participating in the production, it means there is a buyer...

Then...why give up?

"Don't worry about this. Anyway, we can guarantee profits if we sell the adaptation rights..." Shen Changlin had no way to explain how he had predicted the TV station's case in advance, so he could only change the topic: "In this way, we will have money to invest. "Big Shot" right?"

"Yes..."

"Is there anything else?"

Guo Songjiang immediately took out a form: "These are invitations to some activities... There are some unnecessary appearances, I will delete them for you..."

Shen Changlin took it, okay, it's really the schedule...

I’m very curious that he is a director who actually has a lot of schedule!

Promotion, forum, similar to 'Youth Film Project', 'Chinese Commercial Film Promotion', 'Excellent Domestic Film Exchange' and so on.

In fact, it is the face brushing process!

Mixed seniority.

By the way, there were also a bunch of theater completion ceremonies, and he was invited to help with the platform...

"Holy crap, why is there a Harper's Bazaar charity dinner?"

"Su Mang invited me... I specifically told you to attend!"

"...I'm not a celebrity...that's not right. Why do I have to appear at the press conference of "Fist of Fury"?"

"We have a cooperative relationship with Enlight. "Fist of Fury" is specially prepared by Enlight for the National Day release this year. As for the National Day release, you know how intense it is. Due to emotions and reasons, we should also be there to support it."

Shen Changlin shook his head: "I am about to start the preparatory work for "Big Shot". You helped me push these things..."

Guo Songjiang did not agree directly, but said tactfully: "I think there are some commercial promotions that you can take over..."

"What's wrong, we have no money?"

"Yes, the money in the account is indeed a bit tight..."

"Isn't the account of "Xiu Chun Dao" coming soon?"

Guo Songjiang explained: "Half of "Big Shot" was invested, and we only have less than 15 million circulating funds left in our account. If there are any more projects to be developed, it will be difficult for us to get involved!"

“…”

Sure enough, when investing in film and television, money is wasted!

Shen Changlin is not worried that Guo Songjiang will lie to him. The company's expenses are quite large. In just two months, the net expenses of the three projects he knows about exceed 50 million!

The key is, there is no income at all...

In addition to exploiting Nazha and Jin Chen's little brokerage income, they are pure newcomers and their pay is very low. Although there are commercials and so on, the pay is even lower...

Shen Changlin frowned, and then asked: "What is the solution?"

"Simple, either you go out and make money, or we absorb investment..."

"How do I make money? I can only make movies!"

"Actually, there are many products that I would like to invite you to endorse..."

"Endorsement?" Shen Changlin was a little surprised: "I'm not a celebrity, why would you ask me to endorse you?"

"...Do you have any misunderstanding about your popularity?"

That’s right, Guo Jingming can endorse ‘Zhenshiming’ and LG mobile phones, Han Han can endorse Nestlé and Vanke, there’s no reason why Shen Changlin can’t!

Shen Changlin nodded and asked with great concern: "How much is my endorsement fee?"

"About 2 million!"

2 million…

It’s almost as much as the endorsement fees of A-list celebrities.

Shen Changlin was quite satisfied: "What endorsements are you looking for me for?"

"Your image has always been very healthy... You have been approached to endorse milk powder, food, some mobile phones, and, by the way, watches..."

"Forget food, I don't dare accept food endorsements!"

Shen Changlin shook his head, and then asked: "What brand of mobile phone and watch?"

“Gionee phones and Fiyta watches!”

Gionee mobile phone…

Before 2011, when it came to domestic mobile phones, Gionee was a brand that had to be mentioned!

But with the launch of smartphones, Gionee, which failed to seize the opportunity, began to gradually decline. Although it later transformed into smartphones in order to save itself, unfortunately, times have changed...

Shen Changlin doesn't want to bear the Jackie Chan-style curse - the black hole of endorsements!

Jackie Chan claims that whoever he beats will be defeated, and he is the equal of the madman!

Endorsed Xiaobawang, Xiaobawang went bankrupt;

Endorsing Aido VCD, the CEO of Aido is in jail;

Endorsed Fenhuang Coke, Fenhuang Coke is gone;

It endorses Caddy cars and only sells more than 900 units nationwide;

The shampoo endorsed by Bawang was found to cause cancer.

Later, he served as China's ambassador for the ban on D-D and his son smoked D.

Thinking of this, Shen Changlin quickly said: "Forget about the Gionee phone, please help me connect the Fiyta watch!"

"Okay!" Guo Songjiang nodded and continued: "That's why I asked you to participate in more business activities and use the marketing power of the media to promote yourself more..."
Chapter completed!
