Chapter 657

You Xue is quite clear about the company's accounts. A film and television company shoots a movie. After the project comes out, it usually needs to solicit investment from all over the world. However, the resolution of the elder meeting does not allow foreign capital injection, otherwise Ye Lingtian will throw 100 million in it. , just looking at Mei Shenao, maybe he can hit the box office champion, but he has no money. Even the gods can't do it!

"Can't even afford the third line?" Ye Lingtian felt a little unbelievable, "Isn't there still tens of millions of money in the books of Lucky Culture? In addition to recovering a part of the previous budget, it was hard work, and the filming department was about the same." The movie should be enough."

"Enough, that's enough!" Mei Shenao became angry at the thought of this, and said, "Lucky Culture has always been losing money, and now we have to let it continue for seven or eight months, deducting related expenses, the film's The total budget is less than three million, tell me, what can you do?"

Ye Lingtian almost sat down on the ground, and looked at You Xue dumbfounded: "Three million? The Qin Group's investment in commercials is even bigger than this!"

You Xue sighed, and said: "There is no way, if a film with an investment of 3 million is to turn Lucky Culture into a profit, Mei Shenao and I roughly calculated that the box office would be at least 100 million, so the script must be good. And the topic selection must be down-to-earth, otherwise, in today's film and television industry, where large productions and large investments are common, it is basically impossible to counterattack."

100 million for a box office investment of 3 million? Let's make your spring and autumn dream! Ye Lingtian looked at You Xue seriously, and said seriously: "I think you should talk to the elders and inject some funds, to be honest , I don't have any confidence in the future of this film, don't make a fuss about it, don't talk about making money, people who don't lose the Lucky culture will be very good."

Mei Shenao slapped the table, and immediately flew into a rage: "Mr. Ye, how can you insult people! Go to the circle and ask, when did Lu Haichuan make a bad movie? Let me tell you, don't talk about hiring movie stars, you just set foot in film and television For a newcomer in the film industry, as long as he directs, there will be no problem at all with the box office of RMB 8 million."

"Earn a thousand and eight million? But it's useless." Ye Lingtian held a cigarette in his mouth, knocked on the table, and pointed out his index finger, "Your final box office is 100 million, 100 million!"

When Mei Shenao heard this, he immediately fell silent. In fact, for a movie, the script is good and the production is sincere. What's more important is the star effect and the promotional packaging, so that the box office can be guaranteed. I haven't seen those people getting together The bad movie has a bad reputation, but the box office is booming, and even the good movie of the same period, due to the lack of publicity, is crowded by the so-called big-produced bad movies. There is no place for a latrine. Can't wear it.

According to what Mei Shenao said, "The Postmodern Life of Broken Love" is sure to make money, but if you want to raise the box office to a higher level, you must pay attention to things other than movies, which are exactly what the current Lucky culture does not have. From this point of view, I have to admit that You Wanli's move was very ruthless, and the sentence of not allowing foreign capital injection directly restricted You Xue to death. Movies these days are all about attracting investment. For example, some products that show their heads in movies can be obtained A lot of expenses are, even before the production of many films is completed, the investment will be recovered in sevens and eighty-seven.

Seeing that Mei Shenao was a little downcast, You Xue coughed lightly, and kicked Ye Lingtian's calf under the table, meaning that it's fine if you can't help, and you can't retreat to disturb the morale of the army.

"Mr. Mei, the difficulties we are facing are indeed unimaginable, but it does not mean that they cannot be realized. There are countless cases in the film and television industry that made big money with a small cost. As long as we work hard, the script is good, the story is well-crafted, there is still hope for miracles to come true. After all, now There are too few sincere movies in China." You Xue has never made a movie, but she has seen a lot of movies.

In the past five years, China's film and television industry has developed rapidly, and movie theaters have been built in piles. This kind of market is the soil that is most likely to produce miracles at the small cost and high box office. I remember a few years ago, a movie that cost less than half a million yuan This movie took over 10 million at the box office abruptly, even though the hard disk was scolded for being a bloody sprinkler, but they made a profit anyway, right?

Mei Shenao nodded, and said: "Because of this, I spent all my hard work on selecting scripts in the early stage. Well, wait a minute, I will answer the phone."

Mei Shenao picked up the phone and looked at it, quickly pressed the answer button, and after listening to the boss for a while, he hung up the phone and said to You Xue: "Mr. You, if you are not too busy, come with me to Jinyue Times, I will Where is my friend now, let's go visit and take a look at her script after three revisions."

If you can get Mei Shen's Ao Li push, the script will definitely not be too bad. Besides, You Xue is really curious about the so-called Internet authors, so she nodded and said: "Since you and Mike came to Lucky Culture, I'm really not busy. It just so happens that this script I haven't seen it yet, so I might as well go and see it."

Having said that, he rushed to Ye Lingtian who was walking towards the room and said, "Are you going with me too?"

"Me?" Ye Lingtian shook his head and smiled, "I couldn't help in such things in the past, so I might as well stay at home."

You Xue shook her head and said seriously: "No, you must go and have a look, your opinion is very important."

Ye Lingtian blinked and blinked, and then his mouth tilted: "Put it down, you don't know what level of education I have? If I can understand the script, I guess ducks can fly to the sky."

"That's why I want you to go!" You Xue grabbed Ye Lingtian's arm, "If you think the script is good even after reading it, then it's hard for the movie to become popular."

Mei Shenao slapped his thigh and praised: "Mr. You, you are so right. People who can watch this kind of movie will not have a high taste in appreciation. If even Mr. Ye can attract him, the reputation must be good. As long as The script passed the test, and with Lu Haichuan's mastery of light comedies, the filming will definitely be a hit."

Are you scolding me for not having good taste? Ye Lingtian’s old face darkened, he rolled his eyes, pulled You Xue’s little hand away, and said coquettishly: “I’m not interested in such vulgar urban romance scripts. I usually like high-quality movies adapted from world famous novels, such as "The World of Sadness", so I went for nothing."

Mei Shenao shivered, "The World of Sadness"? Nima, is there this world famous book?

You Xue often heard Ye Lingtian's jokes from Qin Xueying and Chu Xiaoxiao. At first she thought that most of the jokes were fabricated, but she didn't expect Ye Lingtian to perform wonderfully today.

It's just that "Les Miserables" can be turned into "The World of Tragedy", which is too poor. Wu Xijun and Mike are both talented talents who are attracted by everyone, but one is his fiancée and the other is his friend. Are your eyes blind, can you have a common language together?

Seeing the confusion in Mei Shenao's eyes, You Xue took a deep breath, and smiled at Ye Lingtian: "Mr. Ye, you really can't look like a man, I didn't expect your art appreciation level to be so high. The World belongs to Shakespeare, right?"

Shakespeare wrote "The World of Sadness"? Ye Lingtian frowned, as if something was wrong, but... this guy is a famous writer, his mother's family, there must be a lot of writing, I guess there are, so he said seriously: "It should be him Yes, the scene of the French Revolution in it is described as magnificent!"

Mei Shenao understood in an instant that what Ye Lingtian was talking about should be "Les Miserables", so his gaze towards Ye Lingtian changed color obviously.

As long as you are a junior high school student, you should have read "Les Miserables", and you won't even be confused about the title and author of the book. By the way, this test is taken every day. Could it be that Ye Lingtian didn't graduate from junior high school? My God, Claire called him yesterday, asking him to take good care of Ye Lingtian, and at the same time informed Ye Lingtian of his identity.

The behind-the-scenes boss of Di Sha?! With this level, can he be the boss of Di Sha? What kind of fucking plot is this!

"The love story in it is also tortuous and touching. It's shocking and weeping ghosts and gods. According to your understanding of this book, the story of Romeo and Zhu Yingtai happened in "The World of Sadness", right?" You Xue said viciously. laughed.

"Romeo and Zhu Yingtai"? Ye Lingtian reacted immediately, I was dizzy, I dare to say that You Xue was teasing herself from the beginning to the end! "Romeo and Juliet" Wu Xijun corrected it! Ye Lingtian blushed, afraid that You Xue would pop out again What is it, ready to compromise: "Let's stop talking about these useless things, it shouldn't be long before the Jinyue era, right?"

You Xue didn't intend to hold onto Ye Lingtian's short tail, so she smiled gently: "Two hours will definitely solve the problem. You can lock yourself in the room all day to practice, and it's not a good way to grow. Go out and walk more often." It is also good for improving cultivation.”

The same tone as my wife, it's all negative! Ye Lingtian rolled his eyes, picked up the car keys, and played the role of the driver sullenly.

The place where You Family Courtyard is located is far away from downtown Tianjing. Jinyue Times is located near the Summer Palace in the city center, and it is an out-and-out residential area for the rich.

Of course, in a place like Tianjing where every inch of land is very expensive, Jinyue Times is by no means a villa area, but only a dozen high-rise buildings. At best, the greening is very good and the facilities are complete. Tune.

After completing the entry procedures, he put the car in the parking lot. Ye Lingtian slammed his mouth, turned his head and said to Mei Shenao: "No wonder your friend doesn't want the copyright transfer fee. Who cares about the small money if you can live in such a place? One hundred thousand one The selling price per square meter, buying an ordinary commodity building, is obviously something that can only be done by taking advantage of it.”

Mei Shenao shook her head, and replied seriously: "Her family doesn't live here, it's just that a friend's house has something to do recently, and she just came to help."

Seeing Ye Lingtian entered the residential area, You Xue started to look around. You Xue looked at Mei Shenao, and said to Ye Lingtian, "Stop looking around, didn't you see that we are all the main suspects?"

After speaking, he pouted his mouth to the side, and Ye Lingtian glanced at it, and his face immediately darkened.
