my time as a director

Still full of apology, he said to Zhou Xingchi, "I'm sorry Director Zhou, the procedures at the headquarters are a bit troublesome, you may have to wait for a while."

Zhou Xingchi frowned, "How long will I have to wait? I have been waiting for a month."

Song Ge said uncertainly, "Maybe three to five days, or a week."

"I've been waiting for a month, and I'm still not sure about the exact time." Zhou Xingchi shook his head speechlessly, because big companies are so troublesome to do things, "Mr. Song, I think it's better to forget it, I can't wait forever."

Song Ge opened his mouth, but he couldn't persuade him any more. It had already been delayed for half a month, and he didn't know that the process would take a few more days.

He sighed, "I'm really sorry for wasting Director Zhou's time."

On the side, Li Qian wondered, "It's just a guaranteed release contract. Does it take a month to go through the process? Even in the government department, the process should be completed."

"I can't help it. The oa system at the headquarters needs a month to go through the process, and I'm still busy with the acquisition of ac theaters, which has delayed some time." Song Ge said helplessly, "If I have the final say, a month signed the contract before."

The oa system is an automated office system. It is convenient, but there are also inconveniences. Nothing can be perfect.

Setting permissions, performing their own duties, and standardizing the management and approval process have led to Song Ge's incident, which obviously has almost no risk. In a word, if it is done according to the prescribed process, time will be delayed.

"Didn't you ask Wang Jianlin? He disagreed?" Li Qian asked curiously.

"Wang Dong said, follow the procedure."

"" Li Qian smiled, "How did the 5000 million yuan be approved before? It didn't go through the procedure. Speaking of which, Wang Jianlin still didn't take the film industry to heart."

Song Ge fell silent. Although he didn't want to admit it, it was true. Wang Jianlin didn't say anything, not because he didn't want to break the process. It was just a movie, and it wasn't worth him breaking the process. At least he didn't win the Pacific Rim investment for others. The [-] million Transcendent A Grade production heroine is important.

What Wang Jianlin said at the beginning was that Song Ge made his own decisions within [-] million.

Li Qian also didn't want to scold Song Ge's big boss in front of him, or say that he is not good behind his back.

He smiled and said, "Since Mr. Song has a problem with you, why don't I take over, okay?"

Song Ge's expression froze, good guy, the previous worries really came true, not only Zhou Xingchi played Li Qian's movie, but now even his own project has become Li Qian's.

The former Xu Ke and the current Zhou Xingchi have lost two great directors, and Song Ge's year-long efforts have been wasted.

So far he has only won one Cheng Long, and a Cheng Long is not as good as Xu Ke Zhou Xingchi!

However, there was indeed a problem on his side. What else could Song Ge say? He couldn't stop Zhou Xingchi from cooperating with Li Qian. Even if he wanted to, he couldn't influence Zhou Xingchi's thoughts.

"Director Li and Director Zhou, you should discuss this matter." Song Ge said helplessly.

"There is no need to discuss it, just follow your previous plan, I will send someone to sign the contract at night, and pay tomorrow." Li Qian laughed.

"Yes, no problem." Zhou Xingchi has no objection either. Li Qian's Future Films' distribution ability is second only to several major companies, and each movie sells well, making it easier for theaters and cinemas to give preferential treatment to films released by Future Films .

It is easier for theaters to believe that a company's movies frequently sell well.

This is similar to actors and directors. It is easier to gain trust if an actor or director participates in or directs a movie that sells repeatedly, but ordinary audiences only care about actors and directors.

Song Ge came in a hurry and left in a hurry.

That night, Du Yang flew from the capital with financial and legal affairs, and signed a guaranteed distribution contract with Zhou Xingchi.

Specifically, Future Pictures paid 8000 million RMB to Bigao Group in exchange for 70% of the mainland box office revenue of Journey to the West and Conquer the Demons.

Journey to the West to Conquer the Demons itself invested 113 billion, and 8000 million is almost 70.

Then, after the box office exceeds 1000 million, for every 100 million box office, [-] million share will be paid to Bi Gao.

It seems less, but for every 1000 million, I get 100 million box office dividends, which is almost 25 more box office revenue share.

In addition to 8000 million, Li Qian also had to pay 4000 million in advance for publicity and distribution fees, and charged 5 for agency distribution fees.

Based on the box office of 4000 million, Li Qian will have 2300 million in distribution proceeds and 9400 million in box office share if the [-] million in advance is recovered first.

After deducting the guarantee of 8000 million, I also earned 1400 million and 2300 million, a total of 3700 million.

If it reaches a box office of one billion, it can earn 4600 million in distribution fees and 166 billion in box office share, minus 8000 million in guarantee fees, and a profit of 132 billion.

而周星池的能分到9200万分成，以及5亿10亿之间的5000万分红，一共142亿。

113 billion investment, 8000 million was taken from Li Qian, and 3300 million was invested by himself. After subtracting this part, the profit is almost 11 billion.

In general, Li Qian's profit at the billion box office was 142 billion, and Zhou Xingchi's profit was almost 11 billion.

It seems that Li Qian made a lot of money, but Zhou Xingchi's total investment was only 3300 million yuan, and Li Qianke invested 8000 million yuan in guarantee and 4000 million yuan in publicity fees, and the investment was as high as 12 billion.

Everyone is happy, Zhou Xingchi avoided the risk, recovered the cost in advance, and used 8000 million to buy a property, and the increase after one year was quite a lot.

Li Qian also picks up a project for nothing. Regardless of inflation, 3 million can be paid back. It is impossible that the box office will not be able to reach this point.

Signing a guaranteed distribution contract did not delay Li Qian's work, and the filming continued.

With the addition of Zhou Xingchi, under his training, Deng Chao also showed a good comedy talent.

But Li Qian has been controlling it all the time, everything should not be too much, Deng Chao is not suitable for that kind of nonsensical performance, if it is too exaggerated, it is not good.

You have to control the basics of the movie. This is to rely on the overall absurd story and appropriate funny to achieve the effect of black humor, rather than complete a comedy entirely through the performance of the actors.

In the next few days, at night, Li Qian brought the crew to the beach.

The Huazhong film and television base is surrounded by lakes on three sides, so the seaside scenes were filmed here, and the beach was brought in by freighter.

Although it took a lot of money to transport the sand to decorate the shore as a seaside, this part of the money was not much more than the entire crew chartered to go to the seaside, round-trip air tickets, and the money spent on road delays, so we simply filmed here.

There are a lot of scenes at the seaside, and I have been here for several nights in a row. I have filmed one after another the scene where Truman went on a business trip at the beginning, but he retreated while watching the sea at the beach, and the scene with Zhang Wei drinking and talking at the beach.

Every time I drink Budweiser, I give the most money, 1300 million.

There are many lenses, after all, it is not easy to change. You can’t change your favorite wine every time you drink. Today I like Budweiser, and tomorrow I like Blue Bird.

There are many lenses, but the importance is not as good as the previous Nescafe, so the price is slightly lower.

Today is still the scene of Zhang Wei and Deng Chao, but after the heart-to-heart scene was filmed, it was time for Mr. Li Baotian to appear again, and it was the father-son scene.

"Seven scenes, one shot once!"

"start!"

When shooting with a digital camera, shoot first and then look for problems. Anyway, you don’t need to pay for film.

Following the order of the executive director Guo Fan, a thick fog suddenly rose on the peninsula where the base is located and on the bridge connecting to the land next door.

A figure could be vaguely seen in the thick fog, walking slowly towards this side.

On the other end, Zhang Wei smiled and said, "Do you know why I asked you to drink, I found my uncle."
