Chapter 822 Li Han
Jia Fan briefly stated his views.
"Of course, Mr. Chang, this is just my personal opinion. If you need a screenwriter for a science fiction movie, I can help you find one. It's possible to find one."
"But those are all screenwriters of previous science fiction movies. I'm not sure if they can adapt [Magic Fortress] well."
Chang Rui listened to Jia Fan's words and nodded slightly.
The fact is indeed as Jia Fan said. It is currently difficult to find a good screenwriter for science fiction movies.
He thought for a moment, then nodded slowly.
"Okay, then let's do as Director Jia said and find Liu Wenqing."
"Since Mr. Chang has made the decision, I will invite Liu Wenqing over some other day so that we can discuss it together. If there are no problems, we can sign the contract right away."
Jia Fan nodded and then asked.
"Mr. Chang, do you have any requirements for the actors?"
"You mentioned actors. I have a candidate here. That is to use traffic stars. In this era where traffic is king, traffic stars are very suitable. As long as the movie is shot, there will be a natural star effect."
"Just like [The Wandering Blue Star], if they had used popular stars and promoted it vigorously, the box office of this movie would definitely be more than 60 billion yuan."
When Chang Rui said this, a look of contempt appeared on his face.
When Jia Fan heard Chang Rui's words, he looked thoughtful.
"Mr. Chang, if we use traffic stars, there will indeed be a star effect, which can naturally bring in a lot of traffic."
"But everything has its pros and cons. Today's traffic stars are lacking in acting skills, and their pay is definitely not low."
"There is nothing wrong with using celebrities, but I suggest hiring those with acting skills instead of just focusing on traffic."
Nowadays, both movies and TV series are using popular stars, which in his eyes is nothing but abnormal.
When shooting a TV series or a movie, the first thing that comes to mind is not how to make the movie better, but how to get traffic.
There’s nothing wrong with getting traffic, but the order can’t be wrong.
You must first ensure the quality of the movie before thinking about traffic.
But now no one is thinking about how to ensure the quality of movies. The first thing they think of is how to get more traffic for the movies they invest in.
Chang Rui heard Jia Fan's words and pondered for a moment.
"Then let's split it 50-50. I have a candidate for a popular star and I have already communicated with his agent. There is no way to change it."
"In addition, I have two female characters. I will arrange for them to appear in the movie. They don't need to be the main actors, but they just need to have more roles."
"Can I know the identities of that popular star and the other two female characters?"
Jia Fan asked, but he couldn't help sighing in his heart.
As expected, it is like this again.
It is really rare to see investors who do not interfere in the filming of a movie.
"The traffic star is Li Han, you know, one of the popular traffic stars right now. The other two female characters are mine..., you know, I don't need to say it clearly."
Chang Rui looked at Jia Fan.
"I understand, Mr. Chen. I will select the remaining actors."
Jia Fan looked at Chang Rui's expression and instantly understood the identities of the two female characters.
It’s difficult!
These two female characters are probably more difficult to serve than those stars in the crew.
But there is no way.
The other party pays a lot of money, so it doesn’t matter if you make it a little harder to serve them.
Jia Fan sighed secretly.
"Then Mr. Chang, let's stop here for today. I'll bring Liu Wenqing over some other day to finalize the script, and we'll also look for suitable actors in the next two days."
"Okay, then I won't send you off."
Chang Rui sat in his chair and nodded slightly.
Not long after Jia Fan left, the office door was opened and the secretary came in holding a document.
"Mr. Chang, this is the money that has been spent on the film so far. Please take a look."
"You read it and I'll listen."
Chang Rui looked at the secretary who had not moved for a long time and said with a little itchiness in his heart.
next moment,
He pulled the other person to sit down.
"Mr. Chang!"
The secretary exclaimed.
"Just read it like this."
Chang Rui's tone became more serious, and when the other party stopped struggling, his hands started to become dishonest.
"Boss Chang, the current investment in the movie is 10 billion yuan. 1 million yuan was spent on purchasing the copyright of [Magic City Fortress], and million yuan was spent on Li Han's salary. This does not include the cost of hiring other actors. Even if we don't hire wandering stars, some famous actors, according to the current actor's salary, basically pay tens of millions."
"In this case, if we roughly calculate, the copyright fee alone and the actor's salary will cost us about 4-5 million yuan in total."
"Mr. Chang also plans to conduct online publicity after the filming of the movie is completed, which will cost at least 2 million yuan."
"Hmm... So, Mr. Chang, the funds we have spent on the filming of the movie [Devil's City Fortress] and the special effects of the movie, the funds I can mobilize are only about 300 million."
The secretary bit her lip and finished reading the contents of the document.
"I understand. We'll talk about the funding later."
Chang Rui ignored the secretary's words, pushed the secretary aside, and stood up quickly.
After a while.
Chang Rui sat back contentedly on the sofa, looking at his secretary who was tidying up her clothes, and spoke slowly.
"I know about the funding. I have already found a special effects company. There is enough funding."
"I understand, Mr. Chang. I'll get busy then."
The secretary said this and stood up and left quickly.
..............
Jiangcheng,
at night,
"Still not sleeping yet?"
The wife looked at Wei Yan who was sitting in front of the computer playing games and asked.
"Well, you go to sleep first. I'll go to sleep after I finish this game."
Wei Yan turned his head to look at his wife, then turned back to playing.
He had already done badly in this game, and he didn't want to be distracted and hold the team back.
After a while,
Wei Yan looked at the victory game interface and sighed helplessly.
The victory of this game has nothing to do with him. On the contrary, if he were not there, and someone who was a little bit better at playing the game was there, the game would probably have ended long ago.
Since he got off work, he went into the room in the internal testing group and started playing games.
Occasionally, you will meet some people with similar abilities, and we can play back and forth with each other, which is a great gaming experience.
But most of the time, I encounter some very powerful people, and then the gaming experience is very bad.
He didn't even dare to leave his tower because he might die if he left. He had no gaming experience at all.
From this point of view, Chen Cong's words are also confirmed.
A huge gap in strength will indeed result in a poor gaming experience.
This matter really needs to be resolved.
